Chapter 67: The Perfect Rival

  Refining the treasure, making it his own exclusive item, allowing him to unleash its full power. However, this is not absolute, and Qian Xiaodou happened to encounter such a situation tonight.

  He first dripped a drop of his heart's essence blood onto the Thoughtful Bracelet, which then entered his body and merged with his Nine Yang Divine Skill. The dragon and phoenix harmonized, as the Thoughtful Bracelet had never recognized a master since its creation, and it had accompanied him since childhood. Therefore, Qian Xiaodou easily controlled the Thoughtful Bracelet, gaining one hundred percent recognition from it.

  However, refining the Eternal Ice Coffin was not that simple, and it was even more severe than what Master said. Even after Qian Xiaodou dripped his heart's essence blood into it, the Eternal Ice Coffin only lazily emitted a wave of sound in response. Wasn't that enough sincerity?

  Qian Xiaodou, still not believing in evil, dripped a few more drops of essence blood. This heart's essence blood is the same for everyone; sacrificing one drop is equivalent to exhausting a great deal of yuanqi. He continuously dripped out over ten drops, and his own head felt dizzy, his eyes even turning black. The Eternal Ice Coffin slowly entered his body, seemingly acknowledging him!

  Woo... everything went smoothly, Qian Xiaodou tried to control the Eternal Ice Coffin again, but it still didn't listen to him. It always ignored his commands until he got anxious, then slowly executed half of them. He tried to use his magic to enter the Eternal Ice Coffin and control it, but Qian Xiaodou's magic was like a mud cow entering the sea - completely useless!

  It seems that this spiritual treasure, which has been cultivated for thousands of years from the top-grade law treasure and has become a spirit, is indeed not false in its spirituality. Although I am now its master, I do not have the power to make it acknowledge me, it seems that it's still not possible.

  However, Qian Xiaodou didn't mind at all. At his level, being able to possess a magical life-bound treasure was already a great honor. Although he himself as the master didn't understand the characteristics of this treasure, it could be used to absolutely escape with his life, so what more could he ask for?

  It was just such a night without ceremony or significance that Qian Xiaodou signed his two life-bound magical artifacts, feeling the two life-bound magical artifacts in his body, and with a sense of solidity in his heart, he casually glanced at the Exemption from Death Token and directly threw it into the storage space of the Longing Ring.

  Mystic Sacred King's Order! Such a great treasure, can't bear to part with it, what to do if it can't be used?

  Suddenly! Just as Qian Xiaodou was holding this black token and thinking, his eyes involuntarily burst out with a dazzling golden light. His heart skipped a beat, and when he came to his senses, Qian Xiaodou suddenly saw that the Demon Saint King Token had transformed into an extraordinary energy, drilling into the pure golden sand of his brow!

  "Who dares to use magic in the city!" A stern and intimidating shout rang out beside Qian Xiaodou!

  In just a few breaths, hundreds of iron-armored black-clothed warriors suddenly appeared around Qian Xiaodou, each one being at least a Yuan Ying stage expert!

  Feeling the Magic Holy King's Order being devoured by his own Wheel of Reincarnation, Qian Xiaodou's heart ached endlessly. He had shed so much blood, how could he have forgotten that the Wheel of Reincarnation was specifically designed to devour such heavenly treasures?

  At this time he was alone with a small broken teapot, sitting on the eaves with a silly expression, shaking his arm and shouting miserably.

  "Oh no! Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I was just looking at the stars by myself and suddenly, for some reason, I cultivated the Thousand Mile Eyes that haven't been cultivated in hundreds of years. I didn't do it on purpose, really, please believe me!"

  An old man with grey hair stepped forward and looked at him in surprise, exclaiming loudly:

  "A late-stage Jiedan cultivator, yet still only ten years old and in the prime of youth. Not to mention not looking old at all, but also having skin as pure as jade? May I ask which great master's disciple is this young brother?"

  Qian Xiaodou hastily stood up and dryly laughed: "My master, called Yuan Fei, I am the fourth generation disciple of Jiuhuashan Gate. Several big brothers, little brother really didn't do it on purpose!"

  "Oh, the pure golden sand!" The elderly man suddenly burst out laughing and said: "So it's the one who single-handedly challenged the Little Nine Heaven God Dragon, ordered the gatekeeper, chased after the heavenly descendant Bai Yudan, soloed through a million demon armies, that high disciple of Master Yuan... truly, I am disrespectful... disrespectful..."

  "Hmph! No matter how I look at him, he doesn't seem to have a respectful expression. On the contrary, he has a smiling face like the hundreds of masters around him. It's really infuriating..."

  "Hmph!" The old man, who had been laughing for a while, said with a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Little Bean Hero, this time I'll let it slide because of Master Yuan's face, but don't think you can get away with it again. Remember, the rules of this city are clear: anyone who uses their powers will be put to death. Today, I'm showing you great mercy by letting you off with a warning, so take heed!"

  As soon as the words fell, hundreds of people disappeared out of thin air. Qian Xiaodou suddenly fell onto the roof, covering his head and wailing:

  "Stinky wheel eye, return my treasure to me, eh? Isn't that the Spirit Treasure-level Magic Emperor's Order? You're going to pay with your life, little master..."

  The next morning, Qian Xiaodou looked in the mirror and saw that the pure gold sand on his forehead had changed again after absorbing the Nuwa tears and the Mozu Shengwang order. Inside a small grain of golden sand, there seemed to be a blurry ancient text. Just one glance, and the wild and ancient aura immediately filled his heart, so shocking!

  What a hassle, just change whatever you want, anyway, it's none of my business. Go lift up Qian Xiaoqian's quilt, and lightly pat her little butt, saying with a helpless expression:

  "Baby little apprentice, wake up, we have breakfast and lunch, then we'll be busy!"

  "Ugh... no way, I want to sleep a bit more..." Qian Xiaoqian mumbled with her eyes half-closed.

  No choice, this little apprentice is good in every way, but her sleepiness is too severe. She would hate to sleep for twelve hours a day, what a lazy cat, really fragrant!

  A person sat and cultivated a big week of gong fa, waited for her a while, then got up to eat with herself.

  At the dinner table, facing more than a dozen people who had been deliberately provocative for some time, Qian Xiaoqian slammed her chopsticks down and stood up loudly saying:

  "You're the ones who are afraid of death, if you weren't afraid of death and wanted to avenge your loved ones, then take action here at Tiandao, kill us! Humph~ You're still treasuring your own lives, yet trying to bully my master's treasure. Who did we provoke? You've been chasing and killing us non-stop, now you're even coldly provoking us. Remember this, Xiaomian, if I have the chance to become a great expert one day, when I see you in the outside world, it will be a fight to the death!"

  A stout man with big ears laughed loudly: "Ah ~ this little girl is quite bold, at the initial stage of practicing Qi, she already has such a style. Alright, I, the old master, will take care of you. Don't think about that cowardly master of yours, who doesn't even dare to fight one-on-one. Hmph ~ I really suspect whether he's a man or not?"

  Another pointed-mouthed man sneered: "He can't be considered a real man, didn't you see his pure golden sand? Hmph ~ A real man wouldn't be able to resist being with a woman, he's just a softie!"

  "Wah~hahaha......" The group of people with sinister eyes around him burst into laughter, while Qian Xiaodou still had a calm and peaceful smile on his face as he ate his meal.

  He's not a man, that soft egg is still smiling and cute? This makes these people even more wary of him. That little rascal is yelling and shouting, but it doesn't matter. However, Qian Xiaodou is the kind of person who endures and doesn't show his emotions. Since he has an unresolvable feud with himself, he must get rid of him, absolutely cannot let him live. Otherwise, it will definitely be a big trouble in the future. So, these people started another verbal battle...

  Just as Qian Xiaoqian's face turned red with anger and she refused to eat, a young man wearing a blue and white shirt, holding a small fan, led a group of powerful warriors into the room. In an instant, the inn became so quiet that even the sound of chopsticks dropping could be heard clearly!

  Who is this? To actually have such intimidating power!

  The shopkeeper ran up with a smile and said, "Welcome, sir. It's an honor to have you in our humble shop. I'll make sure the best room and food are prepared for you as soon as possible. Please follow me to the elegant suite."

  A young man with a pale complexion and a spirited appearance smiled reservedly and said:

  "No need for formalities, just order whatever you like. The atmosphere in the main hall is lively and extraordinary, I haven't felt this way in a long time. Let's just eat casually here!" With that, he led over a dozen subordinates into the inn.

  At this moment, Qian Xiaodou, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly had a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. A strange and cold wind swept through the hall, and 500 experts rushed into the inn from outside!

  This man turned out to be Bai Xiaofei's fiancé, the descendant of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect, one of the top three sects in the righteous path - Meng Xuetian!

  Five hundred experts rushed in together, those little rascals who were entwined with Qian Xiaodou immediately got scared out of their wits and fled this place of trouble!

  Qian Xiaodou smiled faintly and replied: "Thanks to Gongzi's arrival, otherwise these guys would have driven me crazy!"

  Meng Xiao walked over, laughing loudly and shaking a small fan: "Little Dou brother, no need to be polite, I'll let you in on a secret - it's because I knew there was someone as interesting as you here that I moved here to keep you company! Your heroic name truly makes me admire you!"

  Qian Xiaodou's expression changed in surprise, and he smiled suddenly: "Oh~ I didn't expect that after doing a few silly things, I would have the good fortune to meet Brother Meng. It's really 'losing a horse to find a gain', so since it's like this, why don't you join me at one table, Brother Meng?"

  "Hahaha......" Meng Xiao Tian laughed heartily and said: "Meng Xiao Tian had this intention, come on, let's sit down and chat. Oh, you guys don't have to follow me all the time either, do whatever you want or sit down and eat together. It's not like we're in front of my old man, everyone can just relax~"

  Watching hundreds of Daodao to Huashen, even a Tribulation Initial Stage expert, all showed a face of idol-like reverence in their hearts, looking at Meng Xuetian, and then sat down with the surroundings, without anyone leaving! At the same time, all the empty slots that ambushed Meng Xuetian were completely blocked!

  Qian Xiaodou's heart sank again, could it be that this guy was really so perfect, really better than herself?

  At this moment, the shopkeeper brought up several plates of exquisite food and wine. Meng Xiao Tian raised his cup and laughed loudly:

  "Come on, little bean brother, let's have a drink for our first meeting!"

  Needless to say, the two of them downed a glass, and Qian Xiaoqian, that little scamp, also burst into tears and sat down to eat.

  Qian Xiaodou finished drinking and smiled casually: "I've long heard that Brother Meng is a descendant of the top ten famous sects in the cultivation world, ranked first among the young masters. Today I see you, indeed with an impressive demeanor!"

  "Nothing, really. My master's teachings are superb, and he sits in a high position. As his descendant, I'm just doing my best not to bring shame to him, that's all. It's not like I've done anything remarkable. But Brother Xiaodou's legend, now that's something worth talking about! Single-handedly defeating the Little Nine Heaven Dragon God, ordering the sect leader around, and charging into the million-strong Demon Army alone... each one sounds so fantastical, yet they're all true! Haha, it's just too interesting!"

  Qian Xiaodou burst out laughing and said, "I didn't expect that these small things of mine would win the praise of Brother Meng. What an unexpected gain! Alas, I still have to chase after Bai Xianzi, who is also Brother Meng's fiancée. You mustn't take it seriously!"

  "There~" Meng Xiao Tian turned around with a bitter smile and said: "Out of 100 men who see Xiaofei, 99 will react like this. If I were to get angry, wouldn't I become a vinegar jar?"

  "Haha~" Qian Xiaodou laughed happily and said: "I didn't expect Brother Meng to be so understanding, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so nervous just now. Alas, we cultivators of the Nine Yang Divine Art must all be in a state of innocence, it's really too boring every day, with nothing to do but follow everyone and cause trouble, chasing after the revered White Immortal, just for a moment's amusement!"

  Meng Xiao put down his wine cup, a warm smile on his face: "Really no harm, Xiaofei is so good, whoever likes her is right, I just have good luck and will be reborn, to be honest with you, little bean, before I didn't really like this marriage, marrying a daughter-in-law that all men are after, my heart was truly tired, but after seeing Xiaofei, I had endless energy, I am willing to be tired for her for hundreds of years, thousands of years, it's okay!"

  Qian Xiaodou smiled with a tilted head: "I didn't expect Brother Meng to be such a romantic, this little brother has something to say to you. As cultivators, we can't always be thinking about women, the Tao should come first. If it's wasted for hundreds or thousands of years, even if it's your stunning and unparalleled talent, it will still be ruined!"

  Xiao Tian bowed his head slightly and smiled: "Xiao Tian has learned from you, oh ~ by the way ~ Xiao Dou brother, since we chat so well, let's not be just Xiao Tian and brother, but call each other Xiao Tian and Xiao Dou. We are all at a similar level after condensing dan, and our ages are about the same, so why don't we treat each other as equals?"

  Qian Xiaodou smiled and said, "Xiaodou had this intention long ago, but as Xiaodou's life is ordinary, it's not good to mention it ahead of time. However, since Xiao Tian has spoken, let's be more casual then!"

  "That's right!" Meng Xiao Tian laughed loudly: "This is what Jianghu is all about, meeting kindred spirits and brothers to share wine and joy, come... drink..."
