404. A Gift From Young Master Qi (2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
“Well…” Min Pinjie turned her attention to the elixirs, carefully asking, “So, is your elixirs even better that those divine ones?”
Min Liangying said, “From the appearance, it is only a level nine top quality elixir, but the spirit qi emanating from it is even denser that any level nine divine elixir.”
The old man nodded, “Even seen from its efficacy, it is better than any level nine divine elixir.”
Min Pinjie asked hastily, “On the centennial meeting, is it possible we can use it to win back…”
“Jie’er.” Old Lady Min quickly stopped her.
Old Lord Min also gave him a hard stare.
Min Liangying and Yuan Yingying also did not approve of her saying it out.
Old Lady Yin sensed the strange atmosphere, “What’s the matter? What’s going? What does Jie’er want to win back with it? ‘
Old Lady Min laughed, “Nothing, nothing.”
Of course Old Lady Yin knew she was lying. She chewed every word Min Pinjie said, “Dad, mom, did you lose an elixir at the meeting? The Nine-yang Soul-summoning elixr?”
As she said this, she looked over at her big brother and sister-in-law, and from their looks, she knew she guessed it right.
But Old Lady Min denied it, “There is no such a thing, how can play away our patrimonial elixir?”
“Mom, I am no longer a three-year-old child. Please don’t try to fool me. Even my grandson is no longer that young.”
Old Lord Min sighed, “Xiaoyuan is no longer the one in charge of Yin family, so there’s no need to hide it from here. On the centennial meeting a hundred years ago, the chief of Tong family came to compete elixir refining with me. I was overconfident and thought no elixir could compare with our patrimonial one. So I agreed. But their Tais.h.i.+ Jinyuan elixir immediately beat ours on spot. So I had no choice but offered it to them.”
Old Lady Yin was so mad, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
“What was the use? You can’t get it back unless you have something better.”
“I can…”
Old Lord Min interrupted, “What can you do? Take some people to grab it back? I didn’t tell you only because I was afraid you would do so.”
Rong Yi quickly tried to mediate, “This thing has been over a hundred years. It’s no use to argue about it now. You’d only hurt each other’s feelings. Why don’t we try to win it back? But the thing we don’t know whether they had already taken it.”
“I think not.” Min Yingliang said, “Our Nine-yang Soul-summoning elixir could bring a dead back to life. In the past hundred years, I have never heard some important figure of Tong family got severely injured or what, so I am sure they are still keeping it.”
Rong Yi asked, “What is the quality of their Tais.h.i.+ Jinyuan elixir?”
Old Lord Min looked at the bottle in his hand and frowned. “I remember, it seems to be a little better than the elixir you gave me.”
For them, it is not easy to find and make the ninth-grade magic herbs, let alone make the ninth-grade magic herbs better than the ninth-grade magic herbs.
Min Pinjie’s eyelids drooped. If its quality was even higher than the one Rong Yi refined, then there’d be no hope to win back their elixir.
Rong Yi asked, “What efficacy does that elixir have?”
“I heard that after taking their Tais.h.i.+ Jinyuan elixir, one’s body would become much stronger, and the doom thunder would be weakened when hitting on the one, and the odds of ascending would be much higher.”
The elixir Rong Yi gave him was already good enough. So it was much harder to refine a better one. Actually it wasn’t that necessary to win it back, it was just that the elixir was pa.s.sed down from the ancestors. If he didn’t take it back, he’d have face to see his ancestors in another world.
Old Lord Min, Old Lady Min and others all wore a sad face.
Suddenly, Min Pinyou shouted excitedly, “Oh great, enchanted successfully!”
He picked up his magic weapon and showed it to his parents, “Dad, mom, look! My level five elite magic weapon is even no weaker than a level six one! It’s really like what people said. The enchanted rune can improve the attacking force of the magic weapon. Rong Yi, thank you for your gift! I like it! I like it so much! This is the best gift I have ever received!”
Min Liangyin, Yuan Yingying and others all looked at Min Pinyou’s magic weapon surprisingly. Actually they had long heard of it, but it was still very shocking to see it with their own eyes.
Min Pinyou said excitedly, “Rong Yi, if you take it to compete at the centennial meeting, you will definitely win back a lot of high quality runes, even if you can’t, people would love to buy it at a high price.”
“Good suggestion.” Rong Yi smiled, “I will use my runes to exchange with others.”
Now there were still more than two months to go before August eighth, and he could refine a lot of different runes.
After Yin Jinye settled them down, he left Suqian courtyard with Rong Yi. Then, a guard came to Rong Yi with a red box, “Young Master Rong, this is a gift from Young Master Qi.”
