A Little Surprise

A Little Surprise

The moment the Qi Refining Seventh Layer Loose Cultivator saw Li Qianqing suddenly come out, his first thought was, how did this brat dare to come out?

Wasn't coming out courting death? What he thought next was whether there were other cultivators nearby and the like, which was why he was not afraid of them.

But if there were other cultivators, then those other cultivators should have come out by now too, together with the fellow they had been following.

If that was impossible, then did this brat have the ability to deal with the three of them? That was also somewhat possible, but not very likely.

Based on the Qi Refining Seventh Layer Loose Cultivator's experience, this fellow was most likely putting up an empty show of strength, trying to scare them off so he could continue fleeing again.

Because he was not far from them, it meant there was no chance of escape, so he had to use this move to increase his chances of running. Once they were frightened away and then reacted, this fellow would already have successfully escaped by then.

In that brief span of time, many thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Courting death! Let's go!" the Qi Refining Seventh Layer Loose Cultivator quickly said.

One Qi Refining Sixth Layer Loose Cultivator felt there was nothing to it, while the other was somewhat hesitant.

"When was he there? We didn't sense anything at all."

What he wanted to express was that Li Qianqing might be a formidable fellow, not easy to provoke.

If they were a little more steady, they should leave immediately now.

However, before he had finished speaking, Li Qianqing moved one step ahead of them.

The distance between the two sides was already less than eight zhang! "You still dare..."

When the distance between the two sides was less than seven zhang, the Qi Refining Seventh Layer Loose Cultivator closest to Li Qianqing immediately turned dull-eyed and vacant.

The other two Qi Refining Sixth Layer Loose Cultivators had no chance to react at all and also became the same as their leader.

They were already dead; it was only that the blood in their bodies was still flowing for the moment.

Leaving the Storage Bags behind, Li Qianqing lit the Verdant Wood Flame in his hand, and the three corpses were directly burned, clean and neat.

At present, his Void God Needle was in the Lesser Mastery Realm. If enemies were within seven zhang of him, dealing with ten ordinary Late-Stage Qi Refining cultivators at the same time was not a problem.

Loose Cultivators from Xiangshui Prefecture and nearby prefectures coming to find him was no different from delivering dishes to his table.

Once the battle was over, he left immediately.

After leaving the battlefield by around ten li, Li Qianqing finally stopped and opened the three Loose Cultivators' Storage Bags.

Just as he had thought, there were hardly many Spirit Stones in the three Loose Cultivators' Storage Bags.

Six Low-Grade Spirit Stones, an average of two on each Loose Cultivator.

If Loose Cultivators had a lot of resources on them, they would probably stay somewhere cultivating to improve their strength and would not come out looking for prey.

Loose Cultivators who did not engage in production basically had no awareness of saving. They robbed when they used things up, and used things after they finished robbing.

"There's a little surprise."

In one of the Loose Cultivators' Storage Bags, there was a Second-Order Low Grade Black God Stone half the size of an infant's fist.

"The grade is the lowest and it isn't big, but having it is better than not having it." Li Qianqing accepted this Black God Stone with satisfaction.

Black God Stone was an ore used to temper divine sense. For cultivators who had not given birth to divine sense, holding Black God Stone was of no use at all.

Second-Order Low Grade was the lowest quality of Black God Stone. A piece this size, half an infant's fist, could probably increase the range and strength of his divine sense by three chi or so, which was already not bad.

A little surprise was still a surprise.

Wanting to get a great opportunity to burst out of a Loose Cultivator was almost impossible.

Li Qianqing was content.

The Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Replenishing Pills had all been sold, he had obtained two Body Refinement cultivation methods, and the unlucky Loose Cultivators had also been dealt with by him. Now it was time to return to Changle Mountain.

With his traveling speed, going back to Changle Mountain from here would take about five days.

Changle Mountain.

It was another bright and sunny day.

Li Qianyin had originally gone out in high spirits.

After arriving at Li Qianqing's residence, her face instantly fell.

She was unhappy.

The cultivator currently taking care of the Spiritual Field was not her Qianqing-ge, but the junior, Li Xingxin.

"Fourteenth Aunt, morning." The moment Li Xingxin saw Li Qianyin, he saw Li Qianyin writing her unbeautiful mood all over her face, but he still had to greet her.

Even if Li Qianyin was this small, she was still his elder.

"Xingxin, where's your Thirteenth Uncle?"

Li Qianyin dared guarantee that Li Qianqing was definitely not in seclusion cultivating.

Right now, Li Qianqing did not have any Rank 1 Mid-Grade Qi Gathering Pills on hand, so there was no need for him to cultivate in seclusion.

The fact that Li Xingxin could be here now most likely meant that Li Qianqing had already left Changle Mountain.

"Thirteenth Uncle went out." Li Xingxin thought for a moment, then still honestly explained, because he discovered that he could not hide anything at all. Besides, Thirteenth Uncle had not told him to hide it, so Thirteenth Uncle probably was not afraid of Fourteenth Aunt discovering that he had gone out.

Sure enough.

It was exactly the same as what she, Li Qianyin, had thought. Qianqing-ge had already gone out, and he had not brought her along.

Although Second Grandfather also did not seem to have instructed Qianqing-ge to do anything, she first comforted herself inwardly that Qianqing-ge must have had some important matter and had just gone out.

"When did your Thirteenth Uncle ask you to help?"

Li Xingxin thought for a bit and answered, "About half a month ago."

He calculated it in his heart. It had already been fifteen days.

"What! Half a month ago?"

Li Qianyin froze. Half a month ago, Li Qianqing had refused her suggestion to go out and play, saying that refining pills had also made him a little tired and he needed a proper rest.

And the result? He had coaxed her into cultivating properly, while he himself ran out to play.

It really made her a little angry.

Li Xingxin watched Li Qianyin's expression change again and again. He should just honestly do the work in his hands.

At present, among the Qian Generation, the most famous were Li Qianqing and Li Qianyin.

The former relied entirely on himself, while the latter also had the support of her father, Li Lilong.

Among the Li Generation, only Li Lilong was a Dual Spiritual Root cultivator, and among the Qian Generation, only Li Qianyin was a Dual Spiritual Root cultivator.

Although Li Qianqing had top-tier Three Spiritual Roots, in the end, he was not a Dual Spiritual Root cultivator, so the difficulty of breaking through to Foundation Establishment was even higher.

Unable to find Li Qianqing and with a belly full of pent-up anger, Li Qianyin was just about to go back when she saw a familiar figure in the distance.

If that was not her Qianqing-ge, who else could it be?

Without another word, Li Qianyin immediately ran to Li Qianqing's side.

"Yinyin." Li Qianqing understood what was going on just from the sight of Li Qianyin. At this moment, a smile hung on his slightly fatigued face. "Did you know I'd be back at this time and come specially to pick me up?"

"No way!" Li Qianyin directly denied it, pouting her little mouth. "Qianqing-ge, you actually sneaked out to play behind my back."

"Yinyin."

"What?"

"First, look carefully at my face."

Hearing this, Li Qianyin strained to stand on tiptoe and looked carefully at Li Qianqing.

"Did you see anything?"

"You seem... very tired."

"Not seem. I am very tired. Every time I go out to play with you, when have I not come back relaxed and easy?"

Li Qianyin, suddenly struck by a great enlightenment, felt a wave of shame. It seemed she had thought too little and misunderstood Qianqing-ge.
