Therefore, if everything went smoothly, Chu Qing could try to refine medicine tonight.

‘Til have it ready for you by next week at the latest. Aunt Ye, 1 can supply you with an ample amount of medicine,” Chu Qing assured, providing a conservative timeframe.

“Next week? That’s fine too. Let’s talk about the price now,” Mrs. Ye said decisively.

Mrs. Ye waited for Chu Qing to name his price, but Chu Qing was hesitating because what he needed now was not money. He needed something else, such as an ancient martial arts technique that could be used for research.

In terms of money, the 200 million that the Tang family had given him was completely enough. Even if he excluded those who bought medicine, he would still have a large sum left. However, between ancient martial arts and immortal cultivation, Chu Qing urgently needed to find the root of the problem. Otherwise, in this unfamiliar world, he could not even guarantee his safety.

No one could guarantee that as his cultivation level increased, there wouldn’t be any unpredictable hidden dangers. Moreover, he would face women who knew ancient martial arts in the future. Thinking of that group of women with martial strength, Chu Qing felt his scalp tingle. His pride had suffered an unprecedented impact.

“I want to borrow the Ye family’s ancient martial arts techniques. I can provide the Fury Essence Pill for free, Spirit Stones, or…” Chu Qing hesitated before speaking his mind.

However, before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Ye interrupted, “No.”

Mrs. Ye refused without hesitation. As soon as Chu Qing spoke, Mrs. Ye’s expression changed instantly. Even Ye Chenxi felt a little uneasy because of this, let alone Ye Mao. She tugged at the corner of her clothes with both hands and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Chu Qing met Mrs. Ye’s sharp gaze and felt a little indignant. “I’m sorry, Aunt Ye. I know I’m being rude, but is there really no room for negotiation?”

“No, you’ve saved my life and Chenxi. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are today. You can ask for anything and even let us repay your life. However, it’s impossible to pass on the cultivation technique because it’s more important than the lives of everyone in the Ye family. It was written with the blood of our ancestors. I’m sorry, I can’t hand it over to an outsider.” As Mrs. Ye spoke, she exuded a threatening aura.

After sensing Mrs. Ye’s determination, Chu Qing could only dispel his thoughts. It was obviously not appropriate to persist.

“What if Chu Qing is a member of our Ye family?” Ye Chenxi asked weakly.

It was obvious that she was speaking up for Chu Qing. Mrs. Ye was silent, which meant that Ye Chenxi’s suggestion was feasible. The problem returned to Chu Qing.

Now, it was the question of whether he wanted to get married or not to become a member of the Ye family. In Ye Chenxi’s opinion, as long as he married her, he would naturally be a member of the Ye family.

Chu Qing did not suspect that Mrs. Ye and Ye Chenxi were using this matter to force a marriage. He could feel Ye Chenxi’s feelings, but it was impossible for him to get married. It would never happen. This was his bottom line—a bottom line that he would never change.

Chu Qing shook his head slightly and rejected Ye Chenxi’s good intentions. Ye Chenxi could not hide the disappointment in her eyes. God knew how much courage she had used to say those words just now. On the other hand, she was proposing to Chu Qing. The outcome was heartbreaking.

“Are you able to change your request?” After what happened just now, Mrs. Ye’s words were much more distant.

Her goal was clear. She still wanted what Chu Qing had..
