Chapter 65: The First Solo Fierce Battle

  More than ten days later, Qian Xiaodou left Jiuhua Mountain and sat in a small pavilion outside Yangzhou City, quietly watching the scenery in front of her, taking a deep breath of air that felt so free!

  As he was about to leave, the ape sent him a gift - aside from an inconspicuous Heart Mirror Middle Grade Treasure, there was also an extremely precious Small Space Material. After refining it with his Longing Ring, the Longing Ring had evolved into a Top Grade Treasure Equipment! Not only did it have a vast source of spiritual power, but it also had a small space that cultivators dreamed of having!

  When it comes to spatial treasures, no matter how many you have, it's not enough. With this thing, it means that you can carry a lot of things with you, and as long as you use a small amount of magic power, you can summon the things inside the space ring. However, after all, this is a treasure, and even Qī Fēi doesn't have many, and the space he gave up was only enough to hold that eternal treasure - the Eternal Ice Coffin!

  Thinking of the coffin, spiritual stone, spiritual grass, elixir, top-grade materials, and magical treasures he had with him, Qian Xiaodou felt a surge of joy in his heart, feeling that he now had some savings. The small spiritual beasts he raised in the inner valley could already take care of the spiritual grass that filled his entire courtyard!

  Sealed off Xiao Nei Gu, and when Yuan Fei left, Qian Xiaodou clearly saw the changing expressions of his fellow disciples. He knew they were all for his own good, but they didn't know that because of a small moment of not being resolute, he had already lost a part of his absolute sincerity. From now on, even if they reunited and stayed together, there would never be a scene where Qian Xiaodou risked his life to find Shui Xian for their sake again.

  And he himself, like many disciples of various sects, found an excuse to go out and search for the materials of his destined treasure. This time, the sect did not oppose it, and Qian Xiaodou even saw a hint of joy in their shining eyes!

  Although he always kept a smile on his face, Qian Xiaodou's heart was also very cold. When they needed him, they would praise him to the sky, but when they didn't need him, or when he got in the way, they would hate him so much that they wished he were dead. This made him re-recognize the cruelty of human nature, and imperceptibly, his heart gradually developed a habit of not getting up early without profit.

  "Master, drink some water!" Qian Xiaoqian handed him a bamboo water bottle with a silly expression, then looked at him with a red face.

  Qian Xiaodou took over the kettle and drank a mouthful, saying with an air of indifference: "Xiao Qian, teach you to recognize characters, can you recognize a few now?"

  "Five hundred words have all been learned!" Qian Xiao said with a serious face.

  "What the...?" Qian Xiaodou stared at the little girl, who was only five or six years old, with a face full of suspicion. She thought to herself: "Think back to when I first started learning, I was chased and beaten by Shuixian every day, forced to study, it took me over 500 days, a year and a half to recognize 500 characters. And now she's recognized all of them after just one day of teaching? Without even looking at books for a few minutes?"

  At that time, the evil Qian Xiaodou was testing her, but unexpectedly this little kid - actually knew everything and was quite skilled, every word was correct, Qian Xiaodou was so angry, Master Yuanfei at that time praised the girl to the sky and belittled himself, he still didn't admit defeat, now it's really clear who is superior and inferior, hmm ~ if she is really this smart, in the future learning the way of array on Mount Tianyi, that would be just right.

  When he had nothing to do, he would take a book and teach her how to study, buy her the best food, and dress her in the best clothes. Although the world of cultivation was not suitable for kind-hearted people to survive, Qian Xiaodou really didn't want the only person by his side to be a role who calculated everything, enduring all the hardships alone. This girl, Qian Xiaodou had decided, he would treat her well, spoil her, and protect her, letting her grow up to be as lovely as Bai Xiaofei when they first met.

  When it comes to Bai Xiaofei, Qian Xiaodou couldn't help but smile wryly. He went to bid farewell before leaving, but unexpectedly she blew up in a huge rage and chased him away. It was really embarrassing and humiliating!

  That's why Yuer is the best, sincerely hoping I'm doing well and can go back to play with her soon.

  With Qian Xiaoyue this little treasure, it's inconvenient for Qian Xiaodou to go anywhere. How can he take a five or six-year-old child to the Immortal Realm to fight for his life?

  Besides, Qian Xiaodou didn't want her most precious youth to be spent on the battlefield of life and death. He felt extremely empty inside and needed someone to understand him, even if that person was useless and stupid, he just didn't want to be alone anymore!

  So, according to the master, this girl is the kind of person who once recognizes someone will not change. When it was time for Qian Xiaodou to accept her own apprentice, she resolutely accepted this girl as her own disciple.

  For her, Qian Xiaodou lived a rich and noble life in the mortal world of Kyoto for ten years. After ten years passed, Qian Xiaodou had used up all his materials for practice, and he had read almost all the books he could find. Looking at the large pile of magical artifacts, he thought of going to the Tian Dao Alliance Trading Convention, the only authoritative trading venue in the Immortal Realm, to dispose of the magical artifacts in his hands and exchange them for some spiritual stones, elixirs, or good materials.

  And then he simply tidied up and faced a 15 or 16 year old, pure and lovely, slender and elegant girl - Qian Xiaoqian, with a warm expression said:

  "Come on, kiddo! Tomorrow we'll be leaving, you have to behave yourself and from now on, you can't sleep with Master anymore!"

  Qian Xiao pouted and said in a spoiled tone: "I don't like being alone, I like to be with Master. Master, why do we have to leave? Is it because the neighbors say you're a monster? Humph! Master is not a monster, Master is a god!"

  Qian Xiaodou shook his head and sighed: "There's no need to explain anything to them, a face that hasn't changed in ten years is indeed too astonishing for the mortal world!"

  Qian Xiaoqian thought for a moment and suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! Could it be that decades later, I'll become like Li Nainai, while Master is still the same age as now? Ah! No way, Master, this won't do!"

  "Alright~" Qian Xiaodou sighed with a bitter smile: "This time we'll go to a place, and Master will buy you a kind of spiritual water. After drinking it, you can be like Master for hundreds of years. After hundreds of years, when your Jiuyin Shen Gong is slightly successful, you won't age, and most of the top-grade Yin attribute techniques this girl has also have this power!"

  Qian Xiao Qian happily smiled and said: "That's great, I want to be like Master, as powerful as Master, I will definitely practice the Taoist magic diligently."

  Qian Xiaodou's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise as he said, "Hmph! Fortunately, I had an extra dose of the elixir. After you used it, your progress was extremely rapid. In just ten short years, you've already reached the initial stage of Qi Refining. That's truly astonishing, Little Qian. How much of what Master taught you have you mastered?"

  Qian Xiaoqian smiled and said, "The Nine Yin Magic Skill is just a regular cultivation practice. As for the Great Migration of Heaven and Earth, I still can't find any clues. The transmission array method, Qian Xiaoqian has mastered about 30-40%. And as for the piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting that Master taught, Qian Xiaoqian is all proficient in them! Except for Master's writing skills, which Qian Xiaoqian can't surpass, everything else is more impressive than Master's!"

  Qian Xiaodou nodded in satisfaction and said: "It can be seen that you little guy has worked hard, not bad, let's set off now!"

  Qian Xiaodou once again mounted the top-grade flying sword, Tian Dou Fei Jian. Qian Xiaoyu habitually stood behind her master, embracing him, and feeling the delicate fragrance on his body. Qian Xiaodou also felt a sense of helplessness in her heart, but she steadied her mind and took to the skies with her apprentice, soaring over vast expanses of blue sky. They traversed countless mountains and rivers, saw numerous cities and towns, and witnessed the rising smoke from many villages. Along the way, they experienced countless joys and sorrows, until finally arriving at the outer perimeter of the Tian Dao Alliance's trading conference.

  However, it was just a peripheral matter. At this time, the two were blocked and robbed by five cultivators. Qian Xiaoqian was tense, but her master had once rescued her from among millions of enemy troops, a scene that had never faded in her mind. On the contrary, that day had left an indelible mark on her heart. At this moment, she wasn't worried that her master couldn't beat them, but rather worried that he would get hurt again. Her heart still ached from seeing that scene!

  "Hmph!" A middle-aged Daoist with a majestic appearance, who looked like he was in his seventies or eighties, strode forward with an imposing aura, one hand holding a sword and the other a knife, and let out a loud shout:

  "Halt! Ah, I've met a wealthy master. He's in the later stages of forming his elixir and still in his prime years. He can afford to drink the Revival Spring Water, he must be a big fat sheep!"

  "Senior brother!" An old man stepped forward from behind the sword and said: "Others are in the later period, can this be allowed?"

  "It's got to be done!" An old lady on the left, leaning on her cane, said: "In thirteen years, our lifespan will have come to an end. If we don't fight for it, we're dead; if we do, there might still be some hope!"

  "It's not just a little hope!" The burly man holding the large hammer said, staring with his ox-like eyes: "It's definitely going to work, he's only slightly stronger than Big Brother Master, and with the help of us four late-stage Swordsmen, working together in unity, we can definitely defeat him!"

  A man in a white robe, with an air of mystery, stepped forward and said: "Alright, no need to think about it anymore. Be careful when fighting, first understand the opponent's skills and abilities, as well as their magical tools. Since he is a wealthy master, he should have some powerful magical artifacts. Let's..."

  Qian Xiaodou was facing a mid-term cultivator of the Jiedan stage and four late-stage sword cultivators. Looking at their wrinkled faces, one by one, with a lewd appearance studying him, he felt nauseous, his face filled with disdain. A frantic aura spread across Qian Xiaodou's arrogant little face as he casually took out an expensive defensive array disk and tossed Qian Xiao into it!

  With worries dispelled, "Swordsmanship!" Qian Xiaodou immediately summoned five mid-grade flying swords, each slashing towards the five opponents. Before the swords even hit, a sudden burst of Exploding Sky shook the air, causing the sky to darken. Then, targeting the Swordsmanship expert, that hammer-wielding brute was subjected to a frenzied and relentless assault!

  He was so stunned that he knocked out the five opponents at the time, and when he came to his senses later, the five people took out their own life-saving treasures and some Taoist instruments to fight together!

  As the leader of the Condensation Period cultivators, one flying sword attacked with a sharp and unusual manner, while another flying knife defended in a tight and impenetrable way, forcing Qian Xiaodou into a very embarrassing situation!

  Those four young swordsmen simultaneously drew out their magical instruments, a powerful iron club, a large hammer, a gourd that sprayed toxic liquid, and a flying fan spinning and flipping through the air!

  However, after Qian Xiaodou took out the top-grade Daoist artifact - Huoyun Shield, the attacks of the four artifacts were not a threat to him as long as he was careful not to be hit by the more powerful ones.

  That guy in the middle of Condensation, went to try and hit Qian Xiaoyi again, but his low-grade magic treasure was blocked outside, several times without success, finally understood that breaking through this defensive formation is not a matter of a short while, if he doesn't go to support now, his own few junior brothers and sisters will be in danger!

  It's strange to say, but in their eyes, Qian Xiaodou this big fat sheep, doesn't know why, every time there's a chance to eliminate them, the result is always giving up, after a long time, they understand, this guy, originally not good at speed, taking advantage of speed and distance, just counter his shockwave bullet!

  Qian Xiaodou was tirelessly chasing after them, using his Exploding Sky Bomb to blast the five of them. The five flying swords were constantly striking at each other, but this still wasn't enough to be a match for their opponent. The red flying sword and green flying knife set that the Foundation Establishment stage cultivator had unleashed had already broken through Qian Xiaodou's Fire Cloud Shield and blasted his Golden Body Protective Aura three times, each time causing him to lose a large portion of his spiritual energy in order to block it. If they continued fighting like this, things wouldn't end well!

  A huge amount of mana is lost, controlling a few magic treasures wastes mana, and using defensive magic instruments also requires mana. Ah~ it's really annoying! Although he has the Thoughtful Ring constantly replenishing his mana, the use and replenishment of mana are not proportional at all!

  What to do? Can't be that I'll get killed myself, right?! It's just these few small fries, why bother fighting so hard?! Ah yes, don't I have the Heaven and Earth Annihilation Cannon?! No way, can't use it, this many spirit stones are too valuable.

  Just then, the flying sword of that Jiedan middle-stage cultivator broke through his depleted spiritual energy and Qian Xiaodou's Vajra Shield, grazing his neck as it killed him!

  Wow! If Qian Xiaodou's reincarnation eye hadn't reacted quickly, and the body of Dou Zhansheng hadn't reacted quickly, he would be a headless corpse now. This is too dangerous!

  Qian Xiaodou felt a surge of suffocation in her heart, and she retreated several steps. As several people chased after her to kill her, she exerted all her strength to circulate the power of the Longing Ring, recovering some of her magic. Then, from her own small space, she took out over a dozen mid-grade flying swords!

  The five of them obviously knew that this was not a good thing to do, but when they met Qian Xiaodou, such a "big fat sheep" who was poor and down on his luck, they would never let him go no matter what!

  But what was unexpected was that this guy not only played with explosive bombs but also spared no expense in self-destructing his precious magic treasure!

  "Hum~" A massive spiritual energy, mixed with the fragments of a magic treasure, suddenly exploded in an instant. This explosion was so powerful that it blew four late-stage swordsmen's noses and mouths to bleed!

  Qian Xiaodou went up and killed, but didn't expect that one by one they were all undying little strong ones. They always took out some talismans, small puppet soldiers, or array disks to protect themselves at the last step. How detestable! Let's self-destruct another treasure!

  "Boom~" Haha~ Finally killed an old devil, hmm~ Coordinated with airburst grenade, come again!
