Chapter Eighty-Seven Accompanying the Lonely Wife in Her Chambers

  If people envied Qian Xiaodou before, then after seeing his persistence for ten years, they now have to say that no one has the endurance he does. His perseverance is indeed not something they can achieve!

  What kind of life do ordinary cultivators live? In the Qi-refining stage, they are all junior disciples, and every day is like being a small servant, similar to a household servant in a wealthy family. They work all day, complete tasks, and if things don't go well for them, no one will take care of them, and they can just die.

  It's getting better, some have made progress, reached the foundation period, settled down, got married, and worked hard together. This level is even more deadly, with many families dying out, only those with good qualifications and elixirs can move on. It has to be said that if it weren't for Leng Hanling and Bai Xiaofei's help back then, Qian Xiaodou would have been finished off by now.

  Struggling to reach the Royal Sword stage is a bit better, at this time there are family recruitments, as long as you have some equipment, you can go and be someone's young master's underling, desperately fighting to the death just for the sake of forming a dan!

  One achievement makes a thousand bones wither, and those who condense the golden elixir are also following the same principle. Generally, cultivators who reach this point have already forgotten their original intentions, and it's a bloody road of fighting to the end - only the fittest survive, and in order to stay alive, they spare no cost!

  Massacre, bloodshed, darkness, conspiracy, betrayal, love and hatred, vendetta... countless geniuses died here!

  But Qian Xiaodou, he was like an unwanted child, relying solely on his own persistence, his own continuous efforts, and his own unwavering life, creating one myth after another!

  Now, even if he still doesn't follow etiquette and ignores seniority, but now, no one says that he is a wild child anymore. He - is a prince, a prince whom others don't know when they started to be unreachable!

  Ten years of sharpening a sword, at the absolute peak of the mountain, in the sea of clouds and mist, his eyes shone like stars again, his temperament had gained one more quality - as stable as a mountain!

  "1,771 meters!" Qian Xiaodou's face was as calm as an ancient well, her eyes gazing faintly at a maple leaf being blown by the wind over a thousand meters away!

  Suddenly, his hands merged, and in less than three seconds, twenty-one seals were instantly formed. The cruisersword behind him rose to the sky with an ancient melody - Accumulating momentum!

  "Drink ~" Qian Xiaodou lightly shouted, her hands forming a sword gesture, pointing forward. The Cruising Sword seemed like an invisible thread of hair, transcending space and time, rapidly shooting towards the distance!

  The sword was drawn, but it was no longer earth-shattering or unparalleled in its aura. On the contrary, it couldn't even be described as ordinary. It seemed that his sword had vanished into thin air. However, despite the great distance and speed, he didn't sense its presence at all. A dangerous aura rose from the bottom of his heart!

  The flying sword pierced through a leaf thousands of meters away, cutting it in half in an instant. The Nine Yang Red Light magic on the treasure sword burst forth with extraordinary splendor!

  "Boom!" A small hill behind the tree leaves was flattened!

  "Hey!" Monkey Flying Master suddenly appeared behind him, with a smile in his eyes: "Little monkey, you've made great progress, you know how to hide and not attack now!"

  Qian Xiaodou casually recalled the flying sword and turned around, pinching her waist, revealing a silly smile on her face:

  "It won't work ~ just a small matter, hehe ~ Master, will it take you ten years to finish? What's the magic trick, hurry up and help me make a set, I'll go out and rob now ~"

  "Hmph!" The gibbon flew away with a big mouth and said: "I settled it in the seventh year, but I didn't show up for three years just to let you know that having a treasure is useless if you don't understand it, you have to master it, otherwise it's useless! You kid, you're just lacking patience!"

  "I'm not patient enough?" Qian Xiaodou said discontentedly: "Everyone praises me for being a good kid who can endure not marrying a wife, my faith is firm, besides... I don't go out to rob, the elixirs I use for cultivation are all gone, can't even ask Boss for this little thing!"

  "Listen up, you little troublemaker! I don't care about your business, but I've prepared the equipment for you. There's also a top-grade magic treasure, that Jade Disc. You're not familiar with magic treasures, so if you go out and mess things up, don't come crying to me!"

  "Hehe~" Qian Xiaodou burst out laughing, her eyes shining brightly: "Oh~ Master, you're really the greatest good person in the world! Don't worry, your little disciple has a plan. After a few years, when I'm familiar with the powerful top-grade treasures, I'll go rob them and definitely earn back many treasures to filially support you!"

  "Hmm~" The flying ape randomly took out a two-foot-long curved moon from the spatial waistband, its entire body flowing with blue light, seemingly iron but not iron, extremely hard, and the moon's body was full of mysterious, beautiful ancient characters that were elegant and moving.

  Another thing with a color as bright as the sky, a small blue-green jade mirror. What's strange is that there's water in the mirror? The ripples of the water in the mirror are like waves, and when you turn the mirror over, the water doesn't spill out, it's so much fun~

  "Wahahaha......" Qian Xiaodou laughed cruelly: "This feeling is truly wonderful, I can finally stand on my own among the middle-level disciples. Ah, Master, I'll refine this treasure and practice it well, then go rob those who block my way. Hehe, you thieves, let me rob you first, after I've fed you and fattened you up, it will be even more enjoyable to slaughter you all together!"

  The gibbon let out a sigh and said, "Little monkey, what's with your aesthetic sense? These two pieces of equipment are for girls. I'm telling you, why don't you leave one for your little apprentice? Don't forget, she'll definitely surpass you in the future, probably before even reaching the Yuan Ying period!"

  Qian Xiaodou scratched his head and said: "After passing this Tianmu, I can give her everything, but these two upper-grade magic treasures seem to be not worth it. Moreover, this Crescent Wheel is my only defensive magic treasure!"

  Yuanfeng thought for a moment and said, "I have an old friend who has a defensive Lingbao - the Qilin War Armor. However, that war armor is broken, so we should think of a way to get it over here. Although it's broken, if we repair it, after all, it's a Lingbao-level item, it can't be wrong!"

  Qian Xiaodou's face turned pale as he dryly laughed and said, "Master, don't you know what my current financial situation is like? How can I still make deals with Tianren stage great masters? It's all about spiritual treasures, right? Not even tens of millions of spirit stones can get them down!"

  The gibbon flew over with a sly smile and said, "You little brat, stop pretending to be stupid. There's still one Blood Lotus that can increase one's lifespan by a hundred years, go exchange it, he has a young granddaughter, you..."

  "Ah~" Qian Xiaodou grasped his head with both hands, letting out an annoyed wail: "Stinky Master, you won't also want to introduce me to a girlfriend, will you? Don't! In these ten years, I've almost been driven mad by my eldest brother!"

  The gibbon flew over and said with a big mouth: "Stupid, I'm telling you to go and get close to him, when the time comes to go to the heavenly tomb, someone will cover for you, and this transaction is also easy to talk about!"

  "Oh~" Qian Xiaodou wiped away cold sweat and dryly laughed: "It's not like using the handsome guy tactic would work, uh~ Master, you still have fifteen Blood Lotus seeds. You didn't let me sell them before, why did you change your mind this time?"

  The ape flew awkwardly and smiled, saying: "You little guy is stupid, but you don't need that many, it just so happens that I also have something to ask that guy for, let's get it together."

  "So that's how it is!" Qian Xiaodou reluctantly handed over three Blood Plums to his master, who gleefully put away two treasures and followed him to the Sea Sky Peak!

  Jiuhua Mountain, famous for its nine peaks that shake the heavens, Qian Xiaodou had only observed a part of it from afar, who would have known what mysteries lay within!

  In a quiet mountain valley, spiritual grass is everywhere. However, unlike the small inner valley of one's own, all the spiritual grass here is not equal. There are thousands of years old, hundreds of years old, and even decades or tens of years old. It seems that for cultivation, quite a few have been used up, and later supplemented!

  They were enjoying themselves when they met another pair of master and disciple. Qian Xiaodou knew that these were all superior individuals, so the fewer words spoken, the better; it was even more impolite to ask about their cultivation or recklessly try to gauge each other's abilities.

  Followed the master to come forward to this Zhao Qing, Zhao asked a good voice, and then followed that woman with long hair to the pavilion for tea, waiting for the master to finish the transaction and leave!

  "Hello, I'm Zhao Hetang." A beautiful woman sat down in a small tea pavilion and first asked how I was doing.

  Qian Xiaodou put down her teacup and smiled casually: "Hello, Sister He Tang, I'm Qian Xiaodou!"

  "Hehe~" Zhao Hetang chuckled and said: "This little mouth is quite sweet, and also knows manners, why didn't you kneel down to pay respects when you saw my master earlier?"

  Qian Xiaodou smiled awkwardly: "This is what our family teacher taught, heaven and earth, ruler and parents, teachers, all do not kneel, let He Tang sister see the joke!"

  "Hmph! If the stinky master doesn't teach, I won't kneel to him either. What's the big deal? Senior or whatever, boo! Isn't he just born a few thousand years earlier than me? What's so great about that? What benefits will I get if I kneel to him? Ha! Thinking of taking advantage of me, this sly merchant? No way!"

  "So it was like this!" Zhao Hetang said with a smile of hospitality:

  "It's not little Brother Dou's fault, brother, others say that you will obtain the Tianmu Lingguo like many young masters of large families, and then get married without delaying the condensation of the Yuan Ying period. I wonder if brother has a crush on someone?"

  Is it about this again? Ugh, these years I've been unable to avoid it no matter what. Qian Xiaodou forced out a wry smile and said:

  "Don't all of you know that I like Xiaofei?"

  Zhao He Tang smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Dou Shidi, why bother? Bai Shimei already has a fiancé. Alas! But if I were Bai Shimei, I'd marry you. Humph! Serving one man with many women, that life is not worth living!"

  It seems that this one is still a deep housewife! Oh, fine ~ In order not to let her turn her gaze on herself, Qian Xiaodou immediately said with a face full of righteous indignation:

  "Lotus Pond sister is right, a man should like one woman and stick to her till the end. Sleeping with this one tonight and that one tomorrow night, and not even seeing anyone on New Year's Eve, how heartbreaking for girls! Lotus Pond sister, you've got your hair styled in a bun, get married already! How's your husband?"

  "This silly brother~" Zhao He Tang's pretty face slightly reddened, and she said in a low voice: "That place is one day, one person, they are...one night, several women serve them together, perverts. How can I, a young lady, bear such humiliation? If he doesn't want me, I'll leave myself. Let me tell you..."

  Hehehe ~ After a while, Qian Xiaodou followed Master with a sly smile on his face.

  Arriving at the Leng family's residence where Qian Xiaodou lived, Yuan Fei kicked a big foot over and laughed as he scolded:

  "Little monkey, I've been watching you laugh all the way. This nonsense, is it because you've heard too many complaints from women in boudoirs? Your heart is itching, you're shameless, hold back. In the future when you achieve great success, you can do whatever you want."

  "My faith is shaken!" Qian Xiaodou smiled foolishly and said, "I really don't know, whether it's better to marry the number one beauty in the world or to marry a bed with over ten beauties. These guys are just too evil!"

  The ape sneered coldly: "Enjoying a moment of joy is nothing, and it's hard to cultivate afterwards. Why do they die on the path of cultivation? Why can't they withstand the heavenly tribulation? Hmph... Indulging in debauchery is close to death."

  Qian Xiaodou wiped away cold sweat and dryly laughed: "Alright ~ Stinky Master, stop yelling at me. I'm just thinking about it, I won't actually do it, heh ~ That Spirit Treasure-level war armor, can we use it now?"

  "Can be used, just need to repair it a bit. But I still have to go to the Great River Old Devil's place to get some Qilin essence blood. He has half a bottle in the whole world. Same old trick, split up and act separately, see you later~"

  Master left again, Qian Xiaodou felt a sense of loss in his heart. He casually took out the top-grade treasure, Yu Luopan, and sat on the small bed to refine it. With this auxiliary top-grade treasure, his strength increased by leaps and bounds, and it became his greatest aid!

  But thinking of the empty dan medicine bottle in his bag, Qian Xiaodou couldn't get excited no matter what!

  He's now just like those hopeless cultivators, waiting for death to come with a sense of desperation, and now he's also experiencing it, how unbearable!

  He didn't have any qualifications to begin with, and he was practicing ancient techniques, but after stopping the elixir, his progress was as slow as an old cow pulling a cart. Qian Xiaodou didn't even want to cultivate anymore, relying solely on the Thoughtful Ring to catalyze some magical power to make progress. It's really frustrating! Now he just wants to go out and rob people!

  In this world created by the Great Master, endure, endure everything, don't give me a chance, give me a chance - I swear to make the Yangtze River flow backwards!
