Chapter 144: Fate in a Mind

Lin Changqing thought about how to deal with Xu Meiniang. After much deliberation, he finally decided to let her decide for herself.

So he said to her: "Now regarding your placement, I have two options for you. The first is that I will take you back to the family and hand you over to the general affairs hall of the family for management, and then I will not care about you anymore.

From now on, you should concentrate on making wine for the Lin family, and pass on your wine-making skills without reservation.

This will ensure that you live safely in the Lin family's territory, and are protected and supported by the Lin family until you die of old age in the Lin family. Of course, don't even think about building a foundation.

The second choice is to follow me and be loyal to me with your body, mind, and soul. I will send you to a secret place with abundant spiritual energy and no outsiders.

There you just need to help me take care of the spiritual medicines, spiritual herbs, spiritual plants and so on. When some of them are ripe, pick them, manage and preserve them well, and also brew some spiritual wine or something.

After that, you can practice with peace of mind, and I will provide you with the elixirs you need for practice, so that you will not be cut off from the resources for practice.

Moreover, after you have achieved great perfection in Qi training, you will be provided with a foundation-building pill or a foundation-building fruit, giving you the opportunity to advance to the foundation-building stage.

If your performance satisfies me, I can also give you a Zifu Tongxuan Pill to help you advance to the Zifu realm.

Of course, there are pros and cons. You may not be able to leave there for a long time. I can’t say how long it will be, but it may be a lifetime.

Anyway, without my permission, you can only stay there.

Of course, if you perform to my satisfaction in the secret place, I may help you deal with Wan Youcai when the chance arises in the future. However, this will probably only be possible after I have established my foundation.

Think carefully about which one you want to choose. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it."

Xu Meiniang listened to the two choices given by Lin Changqing. The result of the first choice was obvious at a glance, which was to be imprisoned in the Lin family's clan territory for life.

Not only does she make wine for the Lin family, she also has to pass on her skills without reservation. Even though there might be people who would take advantage of her in the future, she is still very confident about her appearance.

The second choice, although she would lose her freedom, but at least she would have the resources to practice, and she would also be provided with period-building pills or foundation-building fruits. Although she didn't know whether they were true or not, at least she had a thought. As for the Zifu Tongxuan Pill, she really didn't dare to think about it.

And she would definitely not be able to defeat Wan Youcai relying on her own strength. Now that Lin Changqing said this, her hope of revenge was rekindled.

Xu Meiniang looked at Lin Changqing, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Seeing her like this, Lin Changqing said directly: "Just say what you want to say, don't be so hesitant."

Xu Meiniang asked boldly: "Will there really be cultivation resources and foundation-building pills for me in the future? Will they even help me get revenge?"

After hearing this, Lin Changqing rolled his eyes, took out ten bottles of top-grade Qi Gathering Pills from his storage bag and handed them to her. He then took out the jade box containing the Foundation Establishment Pills and handed it to Xu Meiniang.

He said, "Please keep these ten bottles of top-grade Qi Condensation Pills. These are foundation-building pills. I can show them to you first, and then give them to you when you are ready to build your foundation.

As for revenge, it depends on your performance and whether it is worth it for me to take action for you."

Xu Meiniang quickly put away the ten bottles of pills, picked up the jade box again, glanced at Lin Changqing, and seeing that he had no other expression, she took off the soul-sealing talisman and opened it, revealing that it was a foundation-building pill.

He quickly closed it, pasted the soul-sealing talisman back, and respectfully returned the jade box to Lin Changqing.

Then she said to Lin Changqing firmly: "Master! I will choose the second one."

"I've made up my mind. I can't change it later."

"I've made up my mind and I won't change it!" Xu Meiniang looked determined.

"Okay, that's it! But now we have to go to Jinzhou Prefecture first. During this time, you can live in the spirit beast bracelet. I will change it to a bigger space for you.

You can practice or read, but do not cast offensive spells in the space of the spirit beast bracelet, and you cannot bring the storage bag in for the time being.

You can pack the things you need and bring them in. These books are the travel notes of Jindan monks. You can also bring them in. You can read them when you have time. It's just for entertainment. "Xu Meiniang was a little resistant to hearing that she had to live in the spirit beast bracelet, but there was no way. She had no choice now!

I could only agree, and then started to organize the things in the storage bag, taking everything that might be used, and filled two large bags.

This does not include the travel notes of those Jindan cultivators given by Lin Changqing.

After seeing that she was done, he was about to send her into the spirit beast bracelet, but suddenly he remembered something and said to her, "By the way, prepare a list of tools needed for brewing wine.

Also, please list the ingredients you need and give them to me in two days. I will prepare them for you in case you can’t find them when you need them.”

Xu Meiniang nodded and said, "I understand. I will start sorting it out in a moment."

After seeing that there were no more problems, Lin Changqing sent her and the two packages into the main space of the spirit beast bracelet, which was three thousand cubic meters, enough for her to move freely and keep Chuyi company.

I have just informed Chuyi that we must live in peace. Chuyi is smart and obedient and will not do anything rash.

In this way, the matter of robbery and repair has basically been dealt with.

After Lin Changqing confirmed that it was safe, he entered the space again. As soon as he came in, Lu Youqiang and Lu Xiaoling came over to surround Lin Changqing, calling out "yo yo", and were extremely enthusiastic!
But because I didn't dare to delay too long, I just stroked them briefly, fed each of them a soul-nourishing pill, and let them play by themselves.

First, plant the twelve seedlings of the monster-luring grass. Of course, they should be planted together with the previous monster-luring grass. These are the spiritual herbs that Lin Changqing values ​​the most, and he has high hopes for them.

Next are the other thirty or so common spiritual herbs harvested today, which are all planted in different categories. They will be needed in the future. Now many auxiliary medicines can be found here.

Then he used the Spirit Rain Technique and the Labor Inducing Technique, and from then on, he would leave the baby to Lu Youqiang and his family to take care of. They did a great job in this regard, so Lin Changqing didn't have to worry about anything.

I went to the place where Lu Xiaoya was sleeping and checked it out briefly. After finding that everything was fine, I felt relieved. It won't be long before it wakes up, and by then it will be a second-level spirit beast.

Next, the most important thing is the huge piece of raw stone that was harvested today. Because it is so big, Lin Changqing is afraid that if he releases it, he will not be able to move it by himself.

So I decided not to open it at all, and let it out directly from the storage bag, let it fall into the deep pit, and let Lin Changliu absorb and digest it himself!
Although this is less fun, it also saves a lot of trouble, right? He walked to the edge of the pit, shook the storage bag, and the big raw stone fell into it.

After waiting for a while, I felt a surge of happiness in my heart. I knew that it was Lin Changliu's feedback to me. I didn't know when it would return to normal and chat with me.

I will polish the remaining small rough stone when I have time! I have to go out now. I can't stay here for too long.

Leaving the space, I came to the living room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I came in, I heard Chen Ziya happily say: "Senior brother, come and see!"

Lin Changqing took a closer look and found that he had actually found a medium-grade water spirit stone. It had only been polished now. If all the stones were polished in an area the size of a palm, wouldn’t there be at least sixty or seventy medium-grade water spirit stones?

Chen Ziya's luck was so good! Moreover, the water spirit stone was just suitable for her to use in her own cultivation, so she didn't even need to exchange it. No wonder she was so happy now!
Lin Changqing happily congratulated Chen Ziya: "Congratulations, Junior Sister! You are really lucky. Such a large piece of medium-grade water spirit stone is best used when building the foundation. It will definitely save you a lot of effort!"

Chen Ziya smiled and nodded, "That's what I was thinking just now. By the way, have you dealt with those people?"

Lin Changqing nodded and said, "I killed the alchemist Wang Youzong, but Xu Meiniang spared her life and asked her to help with winemaking in the future.

However, the leader of the robbery cultivators, Lu Xinyi, had some adventures in Qiyun Mansion. We can go there to take a look when we return.

He said there is a door there, and the restrictions on it have prevented it from being opened, and that Junior Sister will need to help when the time comes."

"Okay, Senior Brother, just make the arrangements. I have no objection."

"Well, Junior Sister, don't stay up too late and go to bed early! We can polish the remaining parts later when we have time. We still have to rush to the passenger ship landing field early tomorrow morning."

Chen Ziya agreed and went back to rest.
