Qin Tian saw there was no sign of Qin Qi stopping her cultivation. So he decided to first make a trip to Elvin Watch and then come back to meet her.

After all, Yu'er took over 15 days to break through from the body refining stage to the soul formation stage.

When someone broke through a major realm, time was directly proportional to talent. Yu'er talent was higher than Qin Qi with her extremely cold divine body.

So he estimated Qi would at least take a week to reach the next realm. While he wanted to wait for her, he had already made a promise to the Elven queen that he would come back early as possible.

Qin Tian then once again bid farewell to everyone and left for the Li clan. This time when he arrived before the Li clan, no one dared to mock or stop him. Instead, they welcomed with flattering words.

"Young master Tian, welcome to the Li clan," A guard said.

Qin Tian turned his around to the guard and nodded. He could recognize the guard that greeted him. He was the one who stopped and mocked Tian last time but now he didn't dare to raise his head, even when greeting.

However, Qin Tian would never care for those pleasantries and was not arrogant. He was not a frog in the well. In fact, from his father, he had learned many things and knew how big the world was.

Even his father, with strength, was greater than the strongest expert in the empire, couldn't say none could rival him. So how could Qin Tian with his puny strength act arrogant?

Ignoring the guards, he entered the Li Clan, and instead of going to Yu'er's courtyard; he went to greet Uncle Li.

"Uncle Li," Qin Tian greeted, cupping his hands.

"Have some tea," Uncle Li said, pouring tea in a jade cup.

Qin Tian didn't act humble and simply accepted tea and sat opposite to him. The reason he came to greet him was to share pill recipes and ask permission to take Wan'er with him.

Neither of them talked and quickly finished the tea. Then Qin Tian took out three beast parchments that he prepared before coming to Li Clan and placed them on the table.

"They are?" Uncle Li asked.

"Pill recipes," Qin Tian said, pushing them near Uncle Li.

But Uncle Li didn't look at them and asked, "Are you serious about what you said, before?"

Qin Tian was surprised but promptly denied, "Of course not! I was joking,"

"I see," Uncle nodded with disappointment, and continued, "If so, I cannot accept them for free."

"Why?" Qin Tian asked.

"Isn't that simple? Although we are in-laws and you are my nephew, If I accept them, I will be indebted to you," Uncle Li said, "I don't want to owe you anything."

"Hmm? I don't understand. If I am your nephew, aren't we family?" Qin Tian said. He couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Haha..family?" Uncle Li laughed, "That word is quite surreal in this cultivation world, Tian."

"You're just young and saw nothing. In this world, for power, there are situations where a son kills his father or in reverse."

"I am not blaming you, but in future when I sent Yu'er with you and suppose she was not happy with you or betrayed her. I cannot question you because I am indebted to you."

"As a father, this is something I must take care of. I gave an oath to my wife that I will take care of them and give them a happy life."

"For this reason, I cannot accept them." Uncle Li pushed the beast parchments back to Tian.

Qin Tian didn't get angry when he suspected him, however, he felt it was quite normal. He was just a 13-year-old kid. Before, he didn't think as far as Uncle Li did and shook his head.

"I am sorry, Uncle Li. I didn't think that far yet," Qin Tian said, "How about a partnership?"

"Partnership? Hmmm...that's fine with me," Uncle Li nodded in satisfaction, and added, "How about 30-70?"

"Thirty percent for me?" Qin Tian asked and his lips curved into a smile when Uncle Li nodded.

"No! Let's say 50-50. Or let's call it a day," Qin Tian said, retrieving beast parchments into the spatial ring.

"Wait! I said nothing yet! Why are you rushing?" Uncle Li asked in bewilderment.

"Then you agree?" Qin Tian asked.

"How about both taking a step back?" Said Uncle Li, "40-60."

"Haha...Let me explain what my three pills are," Qin Tian shook his head.

"Body condensing pill."

This pill will help cultivators below the Soul formation stage and it is 40% more effective than Body refining pills. Furthermore, it will take less money to concoct than the latter.

"Next, soul breaking pill."

The pill will help to reach from the body refining stage to the soul formatting stage. It will increase the chances of breaking through to the next realm by 30%.

"Finally, spirit recovery pill."

Spirit recovery pills will help you recover 50% of spiritual energy in just 5 seconds. That is a big variable if you consider life and death battles.

When Qin Tian finished taking Uncle Li's eyes widened in shock and involuntarily nodded. When his nephew said he had pills, he never thought his pills were this effective.

Throughout his life, he had never seen such good pills. Especially Soul breaking pills. With the help of this pill, the Li clan's power would increase by many folds.

If he knew before, he was even ready for 40-60, not to mention 50-50.

"Deal! You shouldn't go back on your word," Uncle Li said excitedly. He could imagine Tang's family patriarch's green face in anger and regret.

Qin Tian nodded, and said, "I want permission to take Wan'er with me tomorrow."

"Why her?" Uncle asked.

Then Qin Tian explained the reason honestly, leaving no room for misunderstandings. When Uncle Li heard that, he simply accepted the request.
