Chapter 186: Damned

"Then what does it mean to be attentive?" Elder Qing asked again.

In matters of the Dao of Alchemy, a tiny difference at the start leads to a huge error in the end; Elder Qing needed to understand every single detail clearly.

Qin Ming picked up a Medicinal Pill, looked at it in his hand, and said earnestly:

"Only by being immersed in the Dao of Alchemy can one truly comprehend the essence of a Medicinal Pill.

When you no longer feel that Alchemy is boring, and instead feel that Alchemy is a pleasure, that is when you are truly attentive.

If you have not reached this Realm, even if you force yourself to like Medicinal Pills, it will be of no use."

"Like Medicinal Pills, and enjoy the process of Alchemy?" Elder Qing held the Medicinal Pill and began to recall carefully.

When he practiced Alchemy, he was always thinking about improving his strength in the Dao of Alchemy, rather than truly being immersed in the process of Alchemy.

Alchemy was, after all, dull and tedious; once the novelty of the initial Alchemy practice wore off, it was just endless, boring work.

To truly like Alchemy, how difficult that was.

"Alright! Finally finished packing!" Qin Ming stretched his body and said, "It seems I need to prepare more jade bottles in the future."

Elder Qing smiled: "An Alchemist who has no jade bottles to store the Medicinal Pills he refines—I guess that would only be you, Qin Ming."

Qin Ming rubbed his nose, feeling embarrassed.

How could he have known that the Servant would prepare so many spirit plants for him? Had he known, he would have told the Servant to prepare some jade bottles, and he wouldn't have ended up in the embarrassing situation of having no containers for his Medicinal Pills.

"Alright, I won't disturb you any longer; get some rest early!" Elder Qing brushed off his sleeves and said.

After seeing Elder Qing out of the room, Qin Ming put all the Medicinal Pills into his space ring and began his Cultivate for the day.

In the Council Hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Qin Yuan and the various Elders gathered early in the morning.

"Family Head, we received quite a lot of gift money yesterday!" an Elder said with a chuckle.

Qin Yuan opened the ledger on the table and examined it carefully; the more he looked, the happier he became, and by the end, he couldn't keep his mouth closed from grinning.

"Haha… these small Families are quite sensible; they sent many gifts. It's just that it seems two small Families did not show up."

Hearing Qin Yuan say this, the Elder in charge of this area immediately stood up and said:

"It is true that two small Families did not come. I heard that these two small Families do not hold our Qin Family in any regard at all.

They believe our Qin Family only had a bit of good luck and they do not submit to our Qin Family."

With a slap, Qin Yuan slammed the table hard, stood up, and said sternly:

"At a time like this, they still dare to defy the status of our Qin Family? They are truly ignorant; I really don't know how such Families have survived until now."

"Father, what has made you so angry?" Qin Ming walked into the Council Hall with a smile.

Yesterday, he had been busy with Alchemy and Cultivate, so he slept a bit late and only woke up just now.

"Qin Ming, you're here. Come, sit over here." Several Elders were very happy to see Qin Ming and hurriedly greeted him to sit down.

"You don't know this, but yesterday when we held a grand banquet for all the Families in the city, two Families looked down on our Qin Family and didn't send anyone over at all."

An Elder said, "That is why your father is so furious."

"Minger, how do you think we should handle these two small Families?" Qin Yuan asked.

His idea was to directly dispatch Martial Artists to wipe out these two Families, but since Qin Ming had arrived, he wanted to hear if he had any different opinions.

Qin Ming smiled and said: "I think these two Families deserve to die!"
