Fairy, listen to my explanation.

Chapter 18: First Communication with Master's Wife

Qin Yu quickly lowered his head.

Obviously, anyone who can appear here must be someone extraordinary, and must not be offended.

But it seemed that he did not see Master Zhao.

Although Qin Yu had never seen him, he had heard that Master Zhao was over a hundred years old.

There was obviously no one who met the criteria here, and it was obvious that the main focus was on the beautiful mother and daughter in front of him.

After calming down, Qin Yu bowed and said, "I am Qin Yu, and I am honored to meet you, Senior!"

"No gift!"

Yin Qinghe opened her mouth, and with a gentle lift of her jade hand, Qin Yu was helped up even though they were some distance apart.

Very strong!

Qin Yu felt that the woman in front of him could easily suppress him, so he dared not be careless.

"Qin Yu, has your mental strength broken through to the entry-level intermediate level?"

It was Zhao Mengli who spoke. She was obsessed with alchemy and was obviously more concerned about Qin Yu's talent in mental power than anything else.

At this point, Qin Yu had no need to hide it. Moreover, he joined the medicine shop to learn the methods and skills of refining medicine, so he responded respectfully, "Yes!"

"Are you a monk from outside the city?"

"Yes!"

Although they had expected it, the mother and daughter were still a little shocked when they heard Qin Yu admit it himself.

Yes, it's shocking!
If Qin Yu was already over 50 or 60 years old, they would be surprised, but they would not be as moved as they are now.

Especially since Qin Yu still lives outside the city, and has no teacher to guide him, he has relied entirely on his own exploration and his own talent to get to this point.

What difficulty is that?!

This is how Master Zhao came to be.

Yin Qinghe, his fellow Taoist, naturally knew this very well!

Speaking of which, Master Zhao's situation was better than Qin Yu's. He inherited the alchemy skills when he was adventuring outside.

At this age, he has reached the intermediate level by relying on his own talent. Any alchemist in Linxian City who sees him will be happy to accept him as his personal disciple!

"Are you here to become my disciple?"

Yin Qinghe suppressed her emotions and tried to appear calm.

"This……"

The expression on Qin Yu's face changed slightly, and he was a little hesitant. How could he become Master Zhao's disciple when Master Zhao was not here?

Yin Qinghe saw through his thoughts at a glance, and didn't want to miss out on such a gifted disciple, so she said, "Although my husband is out and hasn't returned yet, I can take him in as a disciple for the time being."

Seeing that Qin Yu was still a little hesitant, she continued, "Don't worry, my husband's life-long experience in alchemy has already been written down in a book. As long as you are willing to become my disciple, I can teach you."

Now that Master Zhao is away, she, as the master's wife, can take full charge of everything in Danxin Thatched Cottage.

It can be said that even if Master Zhao is no longer around, with those experiences, Danxin Caotang can still train the next alchemist!

However, since it is not taught by words or deeds, the process may be... a little tortuous.

"That's not impossible..."

Qin Yu thought to himself that it was only a matter of time before he became a disciple, and he had a good impression of Danxin Caotang.

of course!

This is definitely not due to any other reason!
No!

"If that's the case, then it's settled!"

"I will take over the master's authority and accept disciples on behalf of my husband. All your treatment will be in accordance with the standards for a direct disciple. In addition to the original treatment, you can receive three... no, five low-grade spirit stones every month!"

"In the years ahead, as long as you remain committed and delve deeply into the art of refining medicine, my Danxin Thatched Cottage will not hesitate to reward you!"

Five pieces per month, that’s sixty low-grade spirit stones per year!
This treatment completely exceeded Qin Yu's expectations. With his current time spent on refining medicine, he might not be able to earn half of this in a year!
Sure enough, as long as you have good talent, you will have a future wherever you go.

All of this was because he could obtain the fire value, which allowed his spiritual power attainments to improve rapidly. Just as Yin Qinghe had someone prepare the tea ceremony for apprenticeship, Zhao Mengli beside her took her arm. It was fine when she was immersed in refining medicine, but when she was free, she couldn't help but think of her father: "Mom, when will my dad come back?"

Yin Qinghe glanced at the submissive Qin Yu, unwilling to say more. Her charming face looked a little unnatural: "Your father must have encountered an opportunity, and he will be back in a while."

Qin Yu heard this, but didn't think there was anything wrong.

But there was one thing he had to fight for.

"forward……"

"Still calling me senior? Call me Master's Wife from now on."

Yin Qinghe interrupted him, speaking in a friendly tone to close the distance.

There are not many entry-level to mid-level alchemists in Danxin Caotang now, and Qin Yu is still so young, who can say for sure that he cannot make further progress?

"Master's wife."

Qin Yu also changed his address quickly, and said respectfully, "I have a request, and I hope Master's Wife can agree to it."

"What request?"

The smile on Yin Qinghe's face froze slightly, and a hint of panic flashed across her charming face.

Could it be that he saw that her loyalty to her husband was fading and he wanted to rely on his own talent to ask for a high price? !
Yin Qinghe wanted to refuse outright.

Qin Yu's behavior was actually a bit rude, and even seemed a bit... greedy?
The conditions she offered now were already extremely favorable!

But she really didn't want to let Qin Yu go.

Such a talented person is rare, if not rare in a century, at least rare in decades.

So she could only test it carefully.

As long as it's not too extreme...

It's not impossible to agree.

However, his impression of Qin Yu was much worse. He was no longer as enthusiastic as before and his attitude became cold.

"Reporting to Master's wife, I have already started a family. I have a wife and a younger sister, and the three of us depend on each other for survival."

"I only ask that Master's wife allow them to live with me. I am willing not to take the five spiritual stones per month."

Qin Yu didn't look up and finished his request respectfully.

If this requirement is not met, he will not stay even if the treatment is good.

Yin Qinghe was stunned. Her heart-throbbing peach blossom eyes were filled with deep shock and astonishment. She blurted out, "Gone?"

"what?"

"That's all you want? That's all?"

Yin Qinghe was slightly distracted. She had originally thought that Qin Yu would make some extremely excessive demands. Although she felt a little repulsive in her heart, she was ready to pay a higher price.

But I never expected that Qin Yu’s request was just to bring his wife and sister-in-law to live with him!

"Where did you live originally?"

"Spring Rain Alley."

"Spring Rain Alley..."

Yin Qinghe murmured. She only knew that there was such a narrow alley outside the city, but she had never been in it. However, she knew what the environment was like.

No wonder Qin Yu doesn't seem to be at a high level.

Such an inconspicuous alley is almost entirely inhabited by ordinary people.

The young man in front of me has made it through relying on his own talent, but he still remembers his wife and children at home.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is loyal and righteous!
In a world like this, people who still value friendship and loyalty are extremely rare, and they may even be regarded as outsiders.

Given Qin Yu's current situation, he could abandon his ordinary Taoist partner and sister-in-law and marry a Taoist partner with better talents to help him.

Yin Qinghe suddenly became curious about him and even wanted to observe him.
