Chapter 7: The Minor Nirvana Pill

```

"Heh heh, you little beast. Have your wings grown strong? If the Ancestor orders you to kneel, then you must kneel. Do you really think you need a reason?" Qin Zhen sneered continuously from the side.

Many of the Qin Family members from Qin Zhen's faction were also pointing at Qin Qing and talking among themselves.

"Qin Qing, you unfilial beast. You dare to defy the Ancestor's commands; this is utterly unforgivable!"

"Qin Qing, aren't you going to kneel down? Do you really want to be expelled from the Qin Residence?"

"Even your father, Qin Yi, has to be respectful and obedient in front of the Ancestor. Who do you think you are?"

Qin Qing looked indifferently at the ugly faces of the people around him and said coldly, "If the Ancestor is merely asking me to kneel as a form of greeting, then as a member of the younger generation of the Qin Residence, I will certainly comply. After all, it's only proper to pay respects to the Ancestor!

But!

If it's about performing an act of worship, then it shouldn't be just me kneeling. Everyone present should kneel and pay their respects!"

Qin Qing spoke with neither servility nor overbearing pride.

But he was very clear in his heart; the Ancestor's demand for him to kneel wasn't to make him perform an act of worship.

Qin Wujian's appearance clearly carried a hint of anger.

He harbored resentment towards Qin Qing and was blaming him!

And Qin Qing, believing he had done nothing wrong and made no mistakes, why should he kneel?

"You little beast, you still dare to talk back!" Qin Zhen feigned righteous indignation on the surface, but inside, he was even more overjoyed. The more Qin Qing offended the Ancestor, the more passive his position would become within the Qin Residence.

"Ancestor, I suggest that we strip Qin Qing of his position as the Young Master, waste all his cultivation, and expel him from the Qin Residence to serve as a warning to others!" Qin Zhen, pretending to be just and honorable, said loudly to Qin Wujian.

Qin Wujian's deep-set eyes were like a parched well, yet they gave off the impression of a vast sea.

In the Qin Residence, he was the highest-ranking Ancestor and the person with the strongest cultivation. He had been in the Divine Might Realm a long time ago and was rumored to now be in the Late Stage of the Divine Might Realm.

In Tianjue City, those in the Divine Might Realm are the absolute powerhouses.

Apart from the Lord of the City Lord's Mansion and a very scant number of secretive Martial Dao Masters in the Golden Core Realm, those in the Divine Might Realm are the top figures with the right to speak in Tianjue City.

Thus, Qin Wujian also had absolute speaking rights in the Qin Residence.

Qin Wujian's cold gaze was like a sharp sword, ready to pierce through Qin Qing.

Just that cold look alone made Qin Qing feel a bone-chilling cold.

However, Qin Wujian's attention quickly shifted to Qin Lie.

Seeing the serious injuries on Qin Lie, the chill in his eyes grew even more apparent.

Subsequently, he took a white jade bottle out from his clothes and handed it to Qin Zhen, "Give this to Qin Lie immediately!"

Qin Zhen hurriedly took the jade bottle, pulled out the stopper, and immediately a refreshing medicinal fragrance filled the air.

He poured out the pill inside, a bright red elixir, red as blood, as if it were about to drip down fresh medicinal juice at any moment. At the same time, a very dense vitality spread out, making people feel refreshed and as if just by smelling the elixir, their bodily functions would be enhanced!

"Little Nirvana Pill!"

Many members of the Qin Family exclaimed in amazement.

The Nirvana Pill was said to have an effect akin to Nirvana itself; even if someone was dead, as long as the body's qi-blood vitality had not been completely exhausted, it could bring the dead back to life.

Although the Little Nirvana Pill wasn't that miraculous, it still had the amazing effects of regenerating bones and rejoining broken meridians.

Don't be fooled by the small size of such a pill; its value was almost equivalent to most of the Qin Family's properties in Tianjue City.

Most of the Qin Family knew that their Ancestor Qin Wujian had such a pill in his possession.

It was ten years ago when Qin Qing's father Qin Yi happened to save a high-ranking Alchemist. To repay Qin Yi for saving his life, the Alchemist gave him this Little Nirvana Pill.

However, later on, the Qin Family held a family meeting and decided to entrust the invaluable Little Nirvana Pill to the Ancestor Qin Wujian for safekeeping.

"Wait!" Qin Qing spoke up, "Ancestor, why does this Little Nirvana Pill deserve to be given to Qin Lie?"

"Hmm?" Qin Wujian's sinister gaze, like a vulture eyeing its prey, coldly stared at Qin Qing.

Qin Qing continued, "Ancestor, last year, I knelt outside your cave dwelling for seven days and nights, hoping you would bestow the minor Nirvana Pill to my sister to cure her illness, yet you remained unmoved. Now, why would you directly administer this elixir to Qin Lie?"

"Are you questioning me?" Qin Wujian chuckled coldly.

"I merely think this is unfair! Everyone in the Qin Residence knows that this minor Nirvana Pill was initially obtained by my father. My sister is gravely ill and needs the elixir for treatment, but you refused to give it to her."

"And today, after Qin Lie and I fought a fair battle and I wounded him, you intend to use the minor Nirvana Pill to heal his injuries..."

"Is this fair?" Qin Qing's words immediately plunged many members of the Qin Family into contemplation.

Indeed, Qin Wujian's actions were unjust.

The elixir was originally obtained by Qin Qing's father; by all rights, it belonged to Qin Yi's personal possessions, with Qin Wujian merely safeguarding it.

However, when Qin Qing pleaded with the Ancestor to give the minor Nirvana Pill to little Shuang for her illness, the Ancestor did not agree, yet today he used the elixir to heal Qin Lie's wounds!

"Heh heh heh..."

At this moment, the Ancestor let out a sinister laugh.

"You question my fairness? You ask me why?"

Qin Wujian looked at Qin Qing and declared in a cold, resolute voice, "Then I'll tell you why!

Because Qin Lie has awakened a Sixth Rank Martial Soul! While you, after three years of Tempering in the Soul Palace, are still unable to awaken a Martial Soul! You are likely never to awaken a Martial Soul in this lifetime!

Similarly, your sister, Qin Shuang, was born with a severe illness and is probably doomed never to cultivate!

Why should I waste the elixir on her?

By gravely injuring Qin Lie, you are essentially crippling the future hope of our Qin Family. I command you to kneel, and yet you dare to disobey?

The minor Nirvana Pill, though indeed obtained by your father, but isn't he also a member of our Qin Family? Doesn't what he acquired also belong to the Qin Family?"

Qin Qing's face displayed a cold smile, and he shook his head in extreme disappointment.

"I understand now, you mean to say that because Qin Lie has a Sixth Rank Martial Soul, he is more important to the family than me and my sister Shuang'er. Even if he fought me fairly and was severely injured by me, it's my fault!"

"Just because he has a Sixth Rank Martial Soul, no matter what, the minor Nirvana Pill should be given to him, and my sister, enduring agony and on the brink of life and death, that's also as it should be?"

"Correct! Qin Lie has awakened a Sixth Rank Martial Soul! He is the future hope of the Qin Residence!" Qin Wujian stated.

"Heh, then what if my Martial Soul Level is higher than Qin Lie's! Does it mean that the elixir should rightfully be given to me to cure little Shuang's illness?" Qin Qing said coldly, his eyes filled with determination.

If Qin Wujian said yes, he would resolutely manifest his Dragon Soul, forcing Qin Wujian to shut up, and silencing everyone once and for all!

Qin Lie snorted, "Qin Qing, stop bragging here! If you could awaken a Martial Soul, one that's even higher than my Howling Moon Silver Wolf, I, Qin Lie, would be your loyal servant for life!"

Many others around also started pointing and whispering about Qin Qing.

"Qin Qing, have you gone mad? Do you know what a Sixth Rank Martial Soul signifies?"

"This Qin Qing, after a series of setbacks, must have lost his mind. Mu Yun Lan has awakened a Seventh Rank Martial Soul, Young Master Qin Lie has awakened a Sixth Rank Martial Soul; does he think he too can awaken a high-rank Martial Soul?"

Qin Wujian sneered with a hint of mockery on his lips.

He simply didn't believe that Qin Qing could awaken a Martial Soul, especially one of a higher grade than Qin Lie's.

"Of course! If you have awakened a Martial Soul, and if its Grade is higher than Qin Lie's, then I will personally grant you the minor Nirvana Pill!" Qin Wujian declared.

"Good! Those are your own words!"

Qin Qing's eyes glittered with fierceness, and for the sake of obtaining the minor Nirvana Pill for his sister's treatment, there was nothing left to conceal!

"Boom!"

From Qin Qing's body erupted a force so vast and desolate that it seemed to come from the ancient past.
