Chapter 215: Chapter 215: Tycoon Qin Tian

After Murong Bei had a middle-aged maid take down the exam papers, Su Xuejiao looked at Qin Tian and suddenly spoke, ”Qin Tian brother, didn’t you say you also prepared a gift for my grandpa? What gift is it?”

At these words, both Murong Fei and Murong Bei turned their gaze towards Qin Tian.

Qin Tian felt a wave of embarrassment; he was supposed to say this himself, but the girl had beaten him to it.

Seeing Murong Bei looking over, Qin Tian chuckled and addressed Murong Bei, ”Cough cough, old master, heh heh, you know, I’m quite poor, I don’t have any valuable items, so, um, I wish you a happy birthday!”

As he spoke, Qin Tian fished out a small wooden box from his pocket and handed it to Murong Bei.

The little wooden box was smaller than a fist, appearing to be greyish-yellow, and its decoration was not at all fine. Murong Fei and Su Xuejiao were both taken aback when they saw it.

Murong Fei slightly frowned, then saw Murong Bei smiling as he opened the small wooden box.

The moment the box was opened, a fragrant aroma diffused into the air, sensed by both Murong Fei and Su Xuejiao. They found the fragrance somewhat strange, a mixture of medicinal herbs, but it also felt extremely comforting to smell.

Inside the box was a brownish pill the size of a thumb, similar to an ordinary Chinese medicine pill, just slightly bigger.

”Hehe, the Awakening God Pill, long time no see.”

Gazing at the brownish pill, Murong Bei cracked a smile, feeling as though he was reunited with an old friend, seemingly recalling past memories.

”Old master, you actually know the name of this pill?” Qin Tian was startled, not expecting Murong Bei to be so knowledgeable that he even knew of the Awakening God Pill, scarcely seen in the cities.

The Awakening God Pill, uniquely created by Qin Tian’s master, Cao Taiji, was designed to invigorate and strengthen the body. For martial artists, it could relax muscles and tendons and enhance reflexes, making it a superior medicinal item.

This particular pill was crafted by Tang Wan after she had learned to refine Awakening God Pills, specifically made as a gift for Qin Tian.

”I not only recognize this pill, but I also share a deep history with it,” Murong Bei spoke as if reminiscing about the past. ”Qin Tian, do you know that your master secluded himself for a year to refine the Awakening God Pill to enhance our martial arts training and tasted all kinds of herbs?”

”As for me, hehe, I served as his guinea pig countless times, which resulted in some bouts of diarrhea that lasted a whole day and night. By the time your master succeeded in refining the pill, I had already lost more than twenty pounds... hehe.”

Murong Bei narrated these moments a bit sentimentally.

Su Xuejiao, listening, murmured to herself, ”Master? So Qin Tian brother’s master is very familiar with grandpa, no wonder, no wonder grandpa trusts Qin Tian brother to protect me and my sister...”

Her gaze fell upon the Awakening God Pill in Murong Bei’s hand, and she inquired, ”Grandpa, how much would this Awakening God Pill be worth on the market?”

”Hehe,” Murong Bei smiled faintly, ”Priceless. This Awakening God Pill can’t be bought on the market. Martial artists hold it in high regard, especially those with serious injuries. If we’re talking market value, without tens of millions, it would probably be unattainable.”

Tens of millions?!

Murong Fei and Su Xuejiao simultaneously opened their mouths in shock, eyes wide, utterly astounded!

Even the surrounding servants were dumbfounded, their eyes once again drawn to the pill in Murong Bei’s hand.

This ordinary pill was actually worth tens of millions?!

No way!

”In today’s world, those who are highly skilled in martial arts do not lack money, money is just a bunch of numbers to them. However, this Awakening God Pill, for martial artists, truly enhances martial power. When I said tens of millions, I probably still underestimated the real value of getting your hands on an Awakening God Pill.”

Murong Bei heaved a long sigh and said, ”The refining of the Awakening God Pill requires over thirty kinds of medicinal herbs, and just the process takes forty-nine days. From one cauldron of materials, only three pills can be produced in the end, and the preliminary work of gathering the materials takes even longer. If you can’t gather all the ingredients, you might never be able to refine it in your lifetime... So, even if I were to sell it for a billion, there’s probably still going to be a crowd fighting to buy it.”

What Murong Bei said was like a bolt from the blue, causing a huge shock to everyone in the room.

Even Qin Tian hadn’t expected that this gift Tang Wan gave him was so precious; he had originally thought it was worth just tens of thousands, but now... a billion!

Qin Tian rolled his eyes and pouted, now all he wanted to do was to tell Murong Bei... Old man, you’ve given the gift to the wrong person, can I have it back?

”Qin Tian brother actually has such a priceless item?” Su Xuejiao looked towards Qin Tian, shocked.

Murong Fei was also puzzled as she glanced at Qin Tian, wondering how this guy, who’s normally so tight with money, could be so generous this time. He even felt heartache over a broken antique worth several hundred thousand and was usually stingy, never buying luxury clothes for himself.

”Could it be...”

An idea flashed through Murong Fei’s mind, and she couldn’t help but take a couple more glances at Qin Tian, ”Could it be that he wants to please Grandfather, and then...”

She blushed, feeling that it wasn’t very likely – after all, Grandfather had already agreed to their marriage, so he didn’t need to please him at all.

If Murong Fei knew that Qin Tian was now regretting it so much that his intestines were turning green, she’d probably be spitting blood with anger.

As her gaze lingered on Qin Tian, Murong Fei found herself understanding him less and less.

A skilled martial artist with an insatiable lust for women; popular among women and impulsive in character; appears to be stingy, yet turns out to be wealthy—what exactly is his background?

To casually give a gift worth a billion, and moreover, something that can’t be bought in the market, that was indeed a grand gift!

”Heh heh, Qin Tian, this gift of yours truly took me by surprise,” Murong Bei said with a chuckle as he storied the Awakening God Pill away.

”Let’s go offer incense to our ancestors first, then we’ll have a meal. Follow me,” Murong Bei suggested with a smile now tinged with intrigue.

The Murong Family had a tradition of offering incense to their ancestors. Behind the Murong Mansion, there’s a hall where the ancestors of the Murong Family were enshrined.

”Qin Tian, you’re not an outsider, so join us in offering incense and kneeling in reverence.”

Originally intending to stand aside, Qin Tian had no choice but to follow after being called by Murong Bei and knelt to offer incense.

Kneeling beside him, Murong Fei stole a glance at Qin Tian and thought to herself, ”It seems Grandfather truly considers him as one of our own now, even allowing him to offer incense in the family hall, am I... am I really going to marry him?”

After the incense offering, the four walked laughing toward the front hall of the courtyard.

At that moment, an elderly man around fifty hastened toward Murong Bei and whispered something in his ear, causing Murong Bei’s brows to instantly furrow.

Noticing the change in Murong Bei’s expression, Murong Fei asked, ”Grandfather, what’s wrong?”

Murong Bei smiled lightly, though there was a playful look in his eyes, ”Members of the Brother Alliance actually come to pay respects on my birthday.”

Upon hearing this, both Murong Fei and Qin Tian exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with an uneasy surprise!
