Among the people present, only Xu Li's old face looked extremely distressed as he mumbled in disbelief, "Impossible, it's impossible, clearly not on the acupoints, how could it expel the Ice Sword Qi."

At this moment, Xu Li was doubting his life a bit; among the eighteen golden needles, only one was placed on an acupoint, yet it managed to heal the Ice Sword Qi within Ling Quan's body.

Qin Yang's gaze turned, looking towards Xu Li who was still in a daze, and said indifferently, "I'll accept the stakes of this bet."

"You, how did you do it..."

Xu Li's face was full of resentment as he gritted his teeth.

"Do you really think I need to explain it to you?"

Qin Yang glanced at Xu Li, replied indifferently, and then turned his gaze towards Grand Elder Ling Yue.

"Master Xu Li, the Patriarch's illness is cured, so this bet..."

Grand Elder Ling Yue caught on and said to Xu Li.

Xu Li's old face turned red; truthfully, this was one billion, and given his greedy and stingy nature, he really didn't want to hand it over, but denying it in front of so many people would be too embarrassing.

"Fine, I accept my loss."

Xu Li gritted his teeth hatefully; as a Third Grade Earth Tier Alchemist, he could still afford the billion.

"This time, we also owe it to Master Xu Li for coming. This one billion will be paid by our Ling Family, and additionally, our Ling Family will host a banquet tonight. We sincerely hope Young Master Qin and Master Xu can stay and grace us with your presence."

Ling Quan spoke.

"Forget it, thank you for the Ling Patriarch's kindness. I still have some integrity left from this wager. Congratulations to the Ling Patriarch on your recovery and breakthrough to the Celestial Tier Middle Stage. I'll take my leave now."

Xu Li waved his hand; he couldn't face staying any longer. With that, he swung his sleeve and walked out.

The Grand Elder and a clan uncle of Ling Xiaoyu hurriedly saw him off. Regardless, Xu Li was invited by the Ling Family, and not seeing him off wouldn't be proper hospitality.

As night fell, the Ling Family manor remained brightly lit, filled with laughter and cheer.

In the main hall, thirty-plus people, all senior members of the Ling Family, were seated around a long dining table. The table was laden with an array of exquisite dishes.

Ling Quan initially invited Qin Yang to sit at the head of the table, but Qin Yang declined with a smile. After all, Ling Quan was Ling Xiaoyu's father, and thus his elder, plus it was the Ling Family's house, and sitting at the head would be inappropriate.

"Come, let's all toast to Young Master Qin, thanking him for his miraculous hands that not only cured the Patriarch's illness but also helped him break through to the Celestial Tier Middle Stage."

The Grand Elder raised his wine glass and said to everyone present.

"Thank you, Young Master Qin."

The crowd responded in unison, raising their glasses, toasting Qin Yang, and then drank their glasses dry.

Qin Yang smiled slightly and also finished his wine. This was the special Immortal Orange Wine from his own enterprise.

As long as Ling Quan remains standing, the Ling Family continues to be a top-tier family, and their people can still hold their heads high among various powers. Moreover, not only did Ling Quan not fall, but he also took a further step, becoming a master at the Middle Stage of the Celestial Tier. Therefore, Qin Yang's favor towards them was significant.

After drinking a glass with everyone, Qin Yang intended to inquire about some matters concerning Spirit Jade, such as the whereabouts of White Dragon Mountain Range and White Dragon Creek, but the room was too crowded, and it wasn't the time yet.

"Young Master Qin, my recovery and further advancement are entirely thanks to your divine medical skills. From now on, you are our Ling Family's Honored Guest Elder, whatever your command, we will exert ourselves fully without any hesitation."

Ling Quan spoke convincingly.

"The Ling Patriarch is too kind."

Qin Yang shook his head with a smile, not for any other reason but because Ling Quan was Ling Xiaoyu's father, which was enough for Qin Yang to act.

"Haha, Young Master Qin, you and Xiaoyu are of similar age. If you don't mind, you can call me Uncle Ling."

Ling Quan chuckled, his gaze alternating between Qin Yang and Ling Xiaoyu, with a bright gleam in his eyes.

"Uncle Ling."

Qin Yang nodded with a smile.

"Young Master Qin, forgive me for being presumptuous, but when you treated the Patriarch, what elixir did you use? The Patriarch broke through to the Celestial Tier Middle Stage with it."

Grand Elder Ling Yue was curious as he had been stuck at Earth Tier Great Perfection for five or six years, unable to break through.

"That was a Primordial Spirit Pill I crafted. Grand Elder, you are stuck at Earth Tier Great Perfection, right? I have a dozen of these small Primordial Spirit Pills, and after taking one, it should be enough to help you break through to the Celestial Tier."

Qin Yang smiled, gestured with his right hand, and a White Jade Porcelain Bottle appeared, which he handed to Grand Elder Ling Yue.

After reaching the Immortal Master Realm, the replenishment of spiritual power by these small Primordial Spirit Pills was minimal. It's time to refine the real Primordial Spirit Pills when I return.

A hint of joy immediately appeared on Grand Elder Ling Yue's old face, but then his outstretched hand paused in mid-air.

"Young Master Qin has already done a great service to our Ling Family, and we haven't yet repaid him. For me to take these small Primordial Spirit Pills..."

A slight sheepishness appeared on Grand Elder Ling Yue's face.

"Take them, Grand Elder. I still have a lot of these small Primordial Spirit Pills."

Qin Yang chuckled and said, then directly handed the porcelain bottle to Grand Elder Ling Yue.

"Alright, I won't be modest then. Thank you, Young Master Qin!"

Grand Elder Ling Yue clutched the White Jade Porcelain Bottle in his hands, excitedly.

During the banquet, Ling Quan, Ling Yue, Ling Feng, and other senior members of the Ling Family frequently toasted Qin Yang, creating a lively atmosphere.

The meal was enjoyable and amicable for both guests and hosts.

After the banquet ended, it was already past ten o'clock, and the Ling Family arranged for Qin Yang to have the most spacious and luxurious bedroom in the villa.

Qin Yang took a hot shower and was about to lie down to rest when.

Tap tap tap~

A gentle knocking came at the door.

Qin Yang opened the door, and outside stood Ling Xiaoyu in denim shorts, revealing her long ****, holding a roll of cool mat in her arms.

"Hey, this is a special fiber bamboo mat from our Nanyun, very comfortable to rest on."

Ling Xiaoyu handed the bamboo mat to Qin Yang.

"Haha."

Qin Yang chuckled, reached out to accept it. His room naturally had air conditioning and wasn't hot. Besides, Qin Yang was a cultivator; even in the heat of summer outside, his body maintained the most comfortable temperature. Ling Xiaoyu specially delivering a bamboo mat was just a gesture of gratitude, not knowing how else to thank him.

Just as Qin Yang took the bamboo mat, the brave little girl took a step forward.

Plop.

A cool, fragrant kiss landed on Qin Yang's cheek.

Qin Yang froze for a moment.

"Qin Yang, thank you, thank you for saving my dad, saving the Ling Family."

Ling Xiaoyu's crystal-clear beautiful eyes looked at Qin Yang with gratitude.

"Haha, it's nothing, if you put it that way, it sounds too formal. I couldn't just watch and do nothing."

Qin Yang came back to his senses, then smiled. When it came to strangers, whether or not Qin Yang would save them depended on his mood. After all, there were countless people in the world, and it wasn't possible for him to save them all. But for those related to him, he would certainly make the effort.

"Hehe, alright then, I'm going to sleep now, you should rest too, goodnight."

Ling Xiaoyu waved her little hand at Qin Yang, reverting to her carefree and lively demeanor, and went upstairs with light steps.

"Goodnight."

Qin Yang touched the spot where Ling Xiaoyu had just kissed him, smiled, and seeing her go upstairs, Qin Yang also went back into the room with the bamboo mat.
