Chapter 62: Family Concerns

In the evening, after the guests had all left, the Qin Family gathered in Qin Ming's bedroom.

"Brother, please don't go to the Alchemy duel tomorrow, okay?"

Qin Qing tugged at Qin Ming, looking pitiful.

She didn't understand why Qin Ming insisted on engaging in a dangerous Alchemy duel with someone else; wasn't this ordinary life good enough?

Why did he have to fight to the death?

Qin Ming smiled and patted his sister's head, saying:

"Qin Qing, you have seen your brother perform Alchemy; your brother is very skilled at Alchemy, so you don't need to worry."

"But… but… what if…"

Qin Qing said uneasily.

"There are no 'what ifs'!" Qin Ming said decisively.

Just kidding; a Pill God competing in Alchemy against a mere Pill Apprentice—could he possibly lose?

"Qin Ming, are you confident?"

Qin Yuan asked with concern.

Mother Qin was also very uneasy:

"Minger, why don't we just not participate in the duel? If we lose, we lose; Spirit Stones are just worldly possessions.

The most important thing is for our family to be safe and sound."

"Father, rest assured, there is no chance of failure!" Qin Ming smiled and looked at his mother, saying:

"Mother, don't worry. Your son cherishes his life, and if there is any danger, you can just call Father and Master to come up and save me."

"Then I can rest easy."

Hearing her son say this, Mother Qin felt relieved.

She knew that Qin Ming's Master was a Grand Alchemist and also a Martial King. Although he was injured, a Martial King was still a Martial King; even if injured, protecting Qin Ming should be no problem at all.

"Since you say so, we can rest easy. You should rest early!

Go discuss things with your Master tomorrow; we don't know Alchemy and can't help you.

Remember, winning or losing doesn't matter; preserving your life is the priority."

Qin Father instructed uneasily.

Qin Ming nodded heavily:

"Yes, Father, I will definitely survive."

Qin Father then pulled Mother Qin, who didn't want to leave yet, and walked out the door.

After Qin Father and Mother Qin left, Qin Qing could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

"Brother, please don't go to the Alchemy duel, okay? I heard that Alchemy duels are very dangerous, and many alchemists have died in them.

Wuu wuu…"

Qin Ming was suddenly at a loss and didn't know how to comfort her.

If he had known his sister would be so heartbroken, he wouldn't have agreed to the Alchemy duel no matter what.

However, things had already reached this point, and there was no way to change it, so he had to think of a way to comfort his sister.

"Little sister, I will tell you a secret!"

Qin Ming whispered in his sister's ear.

"What secret?" Hearing that there was a secret, Qin Qing immediately wiped away her tears and looked at Qin Ming curiously.

Qin Ming amusedly patted his sister's head and said:

"Actually, the martial arts brother practices make me immune to all poisons!"

"Wow!" Qin Qing jumped up happily: "Immune to all poisons, that's so amazing.

Hmm… what is 'immune to all poisons'?"

"Uh… 'immune to all poisons' means no poison can harm your brother.

In short, brother is guaranteed to win tomorrow; no matter what kind of poison pill that ugly man refines, he cannot defeat your brother!"

Qin Ming explained.

"Mm!" Qin Qing nodded heavily, breaking into a smile through her tears:

"I knew it, brother is the best. A small Alchemy duel definitely won't stump you.

It's a deal then; after the Alchemy duel, you must refine sugar for me to eat!"

"Okay! Okay!" Qin Ming said with a smile.

He hadn't even promised his sister that he would refine sugar for her, so how was it a deal?

Besides, what he refined were Medicinal Pills of the perfect stage; when did they become sugar?

However, as long as his sister was happy, it didn't matter what he refined.
