It only took him a couple of minutes to finish the book. When Tao Xiang eventually matures, he'll surely regret today's actions—though even in the heavenly realm, there's no remedy for regret. He smiled and flew over, but before he could speak, Chen Jie had already interjected, "Qin brother, did you find it so quickly? Are you absolutely certain you didn't make a mistake? This is such a large volume—should you have made an error, the pills you prepare would surely be off, and patients might suffer complications. Therefore, I'd suggest you go over it once more, until you're fully confident it's correct—then both of us will be at ease." Wow, this man's integrity is truly genuine. Chen Jie has his own intentions; finally having a chance to spend quality time alone with Qingya, he naturally hopes the moment will last longer. Qin Shao nodded and said, "I'm certain I haven't made a mistake—I've already copied it down. Huahua brother, you can rest assured." Logically, once someone has made a request, a considerate person would usually go with the flow. Yet he could clearly see in Qingya’s expression a deep sense of impatience—satisfying Tao Xiang would mean alienating the beautiful Inspector. Between these two, Qin Shao would undoubtedly choose the elegant one over the more flamboyant. Qingya slapped the table and stood up, saying, “Since Qin Feng is so confident in his choice, let’s return the books right away—this is indeed Chen Family’s closely guarded secret. By the way, I have something important to discuss with you—let’s go.” “Yes!” He handed the books to Chen Jie, who looked reluctant, saying, “Hua Hua, you’d better hurry and return them. If your parents find out the books are missing, you’ll definitely face more than just a good scolding.” Tao Xiang immediately felt his dignity shaken, saying, “It’s one thing if my father finds out. But if my mother does, she’ll peel off my skin right off.” Thank you, Qin brother, I'll send it back right away. Qingya, let's catch up again sometime—I really enjoy talking to you." How truly improvised—having only chatted for less than three minutes, Qingya said no more than three sentences. Is that really considered a pleasant conversation? Tao brother took off on his flying sword, vanishing in a flash. The beautiful Inspector glanced at Qin, who was quietly chuckling, and remarked, "Now I finally understand—you won't rest until Chen Jie is completely ruined, is that it?" "No!" he said seriously. "I will never ruin him completely. I'll only make it worse, one time after another." "Fair enough!" Qingya looked toward the direction where the battle had just taken place and added, "The female demon has suffered a major setback—she won't rest easy. And given her meticulous nature, she won't stop at just one teleportation base. What about the next phase of the campaign? Have you thought about it?" He shrugged, straightforwardly saying, "Not really." "Not really? Then, what are you thinking now?" She stared at him, asking, "How do you plan to turn that freshly obtained prescription into a pill?" He spoke with great enthusiasm: "I've quickly scanned the book—it contains thirty-two formulas. I'll try each one one by one." Qingya looked at him with disdain: "Do you really think you can manage? I'd trust you with incantations, but when it comes to refining pills, you can't even match my basic skills." He flushed, his face darkening: "Well, then—I admit I'm a three-edged knife." "Good sense of self-awareness," the woman chuckled. It wasn't easy to make him look foolish. Yet Qin Shao smiled immediately: "Who could have thought we'd have a wife so skilled in pill-making? Besides Vi Vi, several other girls excel in this area—far beyond your 'two-edged' level, I might add—so you'll be getting your share of elixirs. I'm generous, and I won't leave you out." "Of course not! Just now, to give you enough time to take down your prescription, Grandmother made quite a sacrifice," she remarked with a sniff. They chatted a bit more, and then Qin Shao hurriedly bid farewell. The young ladies were all on the front lines fighting against the demonic forces. After enduring the trials of war, both in mindset and experience, they had matured significantly. Thanks to their mutual cultivation, mastery of herbal medicine, and diligent practice, their advancement rates now matched—some even surpassed—those of the original Qin Shao. Many of them had already surpassed the Huazheng stage, and upon receiving a prescription, Lin Beauty’s large eyes would instantly light up. As Qin Family’s foremost herbalist, she could instantly judge whether a prescription was excellent. "Where did you get it?" she asked. "From my brother, Tao Xiang, from the Xianhu Palace," he said with a cheerful smile. "The Xianhu Palace is renowned throughout the Heavenly Realm as a premier herbal medicine house, and their prescriptions are all top-tier." "Indeed, they are exceptional." Lin Caiwei quickly went through it and said, "Most of the herbs we don't have." "Oh?" Qin's excitement was instantly dampened. The beautiful Lin smiled gently, "Listen to me finish. All those herbs can be substituted. I say we don't have them because the herbs we currently have are actually far better than what's called for in the recipe."
