"Hmph, aren't I amazing? ( ′︶` )( ′︶` )?"
Little Fatty swam to the bottom of the water and showed off to Da Mei.
"..............."
Qin Shou realized what was happening and looked at Da Mei.
[Da Mei: Qi Refining Level 6.........]
Then I looked at Little Fatty.
[Little Fatty: Qi Refining Level 2.........]
Then he glanced at the black rabbit diligently chopping wood in the distance.
[Black Rabbit: Qi Refining Level 3.....]
"??????"
Qin Shou was dumbfounded.
For decades, the little fat fish's cultivation level has remained as stable as Mount Tai.
He felt it needed encouragement.
......
Time flies.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, an uninvited guest arrived on the mountain.
A blood-soaked figure fell from mid-air, staggering forward.
"Hmm? The spiritual energy here is so rich!"
The newcomer was dressed in a black robe, with a gloomy face, and kept glancing nervously behind him.
It looked like they were running for their lives.
But when he saw the spirit stones piled up in the spirit pool, his eyes were filled with surprise and greed.
"There are so many top-grade spirit stones!"
"Huh? That lush green patch by the spirit pool is Spirit Gathering Grass!!!"
"Holy crap! That vegetable patch brimming with spiritual energy in the distance, could it be a medicinal herb garden?"
"But is this sacred place unclaimed, or is it the secluded abode of some great cultivator?"
For a moment, the man in black robes felt a little uneasy.
"Yahei—"
At that moment, a rabbit leaped up in the courtyard, picked up an axe from its paw, and split a wooden stake in two.
As soon as it landed, it stepped on its right foot with its left and leaped up again, splitting a wooden stake into eight pieces with a few "cracks".
Clean and crisp, highly visually appealing.
There's nothing special about it; it's simply a matter of practice makes perfect!
"??? A rabbit that can chop wood!!!"
The man in the black robe was drawn to the agile black rabbit.
"Oh, it's just a little monster."
At this moment, Changsheng, who had just finished his cultivation, walked into the courtyard and saw a "guest" suddenly appear on the long-silent mountain.
So he stepped forward and asked:
Who are you?
"Indeed, people live here."
The man in black robes sized up Changsheng, his brows furrowing slightly. "This man is only at the first level of Qi Refining!"
"Hello, I was being chased and severely injured. I have fled to this place and would like to borrow this esteemed spot to recuperate. Is that alright?"
The man in the black robe clutched his chest, his face deathly pale, and blood was constantly dripping from the corner of his mouth.
It seems that it has indeed suffered a severe blow.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go call my master."
Upon seeing this, the simple-minded Changsheng hurriedly ran into the house to call for his master.
"Master, someone is injured! Please go and see!"
Inside the room, Qin Shou opened his eyes, exited his cultivation state, walked outside, and looked at the black-robed man covered in blood.
[Mei Pin: A disciple personally taught by the Grand Elder of the Blood Refining Sect, with a Foundation Establishment level 8 cultivation. He is ruthless and cunning. In order to cultivate evil arts, he slaughtered dozens of mortal villages. He was chased by the fairy of the Luoshui Sect for three days and three nights and fled here, where he was severely injured.]
"Hmm? A heretical cultivator?"
Qin Shou frowned.
"Fellow Daoist, save me!"
Mei Pin was quite surprised when she saw the Qin beast.
This person is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.
At the same time, his consciousness spread out and he realized that there was no one else on this mountain, and he was relieved.
Immediately, a glint of greed appeared in his eyes.
"This person is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining; he poses no threat to me."
"Once I've recovered from my injuries, I'll kill him and take all the spirit stones here for myself."
"Hehehe, who would have thought that this journey, though fraught with peril and pursued by the righteous, would turn out to be a blessing in disguise, with hardship ultimately leading to happiness?"
Mei Pin was making plans in her mind.
Little did people know that Qin Shou possessed a purple robe with eight trigrams to conceal his true nature, and he only ever showed his cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining to the outside world.
There's a saying that goes something like this?
Pretending to be weak to fool others?
Sorry, I have no such plans.
I'm just habitually low-key.
Meipin is asking you for help. You have the following options:
[First, if you don't save him, he will hold a grudge against you, and might even kill you, taking all the treasures and spirit stones you have here for himself. The reward will be a top-grade magic weapon.]
[Second, saving him will incur karmic retribution, offending the fairy of the Luoshui Sect. Based on his nature, the chance of him repaying kindness is 0%, while the chance of him repaying kindness with enmity is 100%. Reward...]
Okay, I'll save you.
"Thanks.........."
Pfft!
A flash of sword light instantly severed Mei Pin's head.
Mei Pin: "..............." If you're not going to save me, then don't. Why did you have to resort to violence?
"Damn it, didn't your parents teach you to remember kindness for a thousand years?"
"You son of a bitch, I saved you and you not only don't repay my kindness, but you also think about repaying kindness with enmity!"
"Pah, you slut! Look at your ugly face, you still have the nerve to ask me to save you?"
"Heh.......tui"
Qin Shou spat at the corpse.
Immediately, a cluster of flames rose from his fingertips, destroying the body and erasing all traces.
【............】
[Slay the evil cultivator Mei Pin and obtain the top-grade magic weapon "Mountain-Splitting Axe"]
"Mountain-splitting axe"
A miniature jade axe appeared in Qin Shou's hand, and spiritual energy caused the axe to grow larger.
After weighing it in his hand, he realized he didn't need it, so he tossed it aside and gave it to Black Rabbit to use for chopping firewood.
"Master, why did you kill him?"
Having lived in a dog-eat-dog world since childhood, Changsheng was used to life and death, so he was not too afraid of this scene, only somewhat surprised and puzzled.
"He's an evil cultivator, and he even tried to kill us, master and disciple."
Qin Shou said calmly.
"oh"
Changsheng responded.
Do you believe your master's words?
"Of course, if Master says he's a bad person, then he must be a bad person."
What Qin Shou didn't know was that when that evil cultivator died, a jade pendant on his waist flashed.
......
Another six months have slowly passed.
Heaven has mercy.
Finally, in the 10th year, Qin Beast honed his Foundation Establishment realm to the flawless and perfect state.
[Qin Beast, congratulations! You can choose to transcend to the Golden Core stage; the success rate is 100%]
Wow! I'm so touched!
This day.
Dark clouds gathered over Turtle Mountain, and lightning flashed.
Terrifying bolts of lightning ripped through the sky and struck the Qin beast.
"Master, you are really amazing!"
Under the mulberry tree, Changsheng looked at his master, who was shimmering with golden light and whose black hair was flying in the air, and worshipped him as if he were seeing a celestial being.
"I must also cultivate diligently and transcend this tribulation as soon as possible."
Changsheng clenched his fist.
"Moo~"
The old ox beside it raised its head and bellowed.
Changsheng reached out and stroked the bull's head.
More than a decade has passed, and the blue ox that has accompanied him has grown old.
Over the years, if it weren't for the nourishment of spiritual energy, I probably would have been separated from this old friend by death long ago.
"Old Niu, Master said that cultivators can change their fate."
"Once I become a great cultivator, I will also let you live longer."
Changsheng murmured his story.
"After all, besides my master, you are my only family in this world."
"Moo~"
The old ox raised its eyes and responded, shaking its head and rubbing against Changsheng's palm.
Changsheng smiled with satisfaction.
"Hahaha, what can a mere thunderbolt do to me?"
In the void, Qin Shou's black hair flew wildly, full of vigor and ambition.
With the Holy Light Baby Armor present, the Qin Beast is fearless of the Golden Core Tribulation.
"Inhale it, refine it!"
Qin Shou let out a low roar, activated the Chaos Immortal Scripture, and frantically absorbed the lightning power flowing on the Holy Light Baby Armor.
It must be said that the tribulation of the Golden Core Realm is many times stronger than that of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Moreover, Qin Shou discovered that the lightning tribulation contained extremely vast and pure lightning spiritual power, which could rapidly enhance his lightning-type spiritual root power.
......
At this moment, at the foot of the mountain.
The weather remained clear and sunny.
A young girl is climbing the mountain.
"Um?"
"Such intense lightning power!"
"Which fellow cultivator is undergoing tribulation?"
The girl looked up in surprise, her small face filled with astonishment.
