Qi Refining Level 3000, Accepting The Empress As A Disciple At The Beginning

Night gradually deepened.

Absolute silence reigned over Mount Xiaoyao.

Led by the purple-robed steward, the first squad swiftly infiltrated Xiaoyao Hall.

Ye Kong was pondering his second special item when he suddenly looked up, a helpless smile gracing his lips.

“Release the sleeping gas!” the purple-robed steward ordered.

Several disciples from the Beast Taming Peak quickly lit several sticks of sleeping gas, using术法 (shùfǎ - magic) to propel the smoke through the cracks of the door and into the main hall.

The hall was instantly filled with a grayish-white smoke.

Ye Kong took a few breaths, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It smelled like cigarettes from his previous life. How did they concoct this?

Ye Kong felt a surge of joy. He put down the second special item, stood up, and began practicing Tai Chi.

In his past life, he loved smoking while practicing Tai Chi.

He felt as if he were floating on clouds, a peerless master.

“Huh? Why is he getting more energetic?” the purple-robed steward said in surprise. “Increase the dosage quickly!”

“Senior brother, this dosage is enough to knock out all the female gorillas in the Gorilla Garden!” one disciple said.

“It’s fine. Increase the dosage. At most, it’ll make him sleep for ten days or half a month,” the purple-robed steward said firmly.

Half an incense stick later…

Ye Kong was still practicing Tai Chi, and with vigorous movements.

One disciple asked in confusion, “Senior brother, did we grab the wrong incense? Master Fengzi’s sleeping incense is known to knock people out with a single whiff!”

He’s been puffing away inside for so long!

“It seems we did,” the purple-robed steward said, on the verge of tears. He picked up a stick of sleeping gas and lit it in front of the disciples.

Preparing to test it out.

The disciples leaned in for a sniff and immediately began swaying.

Thud…

They all collapsed!

…

By the Bitter Sea.

Qin Shou pulled out a golden alms bowl from his crotch, searching around.

“Is the restriction formation set up?” Qin Shou asked.

“Don’t worry, Peak Master. We’ve set up a barrier formation around the area to isolate the aura. Even if that ferocious beast screams its head off, it won’t matter.”

They had prepared meticulously this time, smearing themselves with the Beast Taming Peak’s special beast repellent powder, which could effectively block the perception of demonic beasts.

“It’s this ant nest. No mistake.”

Qin Shou lit the sleeping incense and dug open the ant nest.

He clearly saw a small black ant inside, hugging an ant queen, fast asleep.

With the hand speed honed from years of being single, Qin Shou lifted the golden alms bowl and covered the small black ant!

Buzz!

The golden alms bowl trembled, a burst of golden light flashing, transforming into a sphere.

“Haha, this golden alms bowl is my treasure! It can trap Nascent Soul ferocious beasts!” Qin Shou was overjoyed, picking up the golden alms bowl, ready to run.

Little Black was shaken awake by the movement of the golden alms bowl. The ant queen in its arms was filled with fear.

Little Black’s face showed anger. Its ant claws fiercely struck the golden alms bowl.

Clang!

With a loud bang, the golden alms bowl slipped from his hand and flew away.

“A futile struggle.” Qin Shou sneered. “My treasure is powerful, isn’t it!”

Little Black’s expression grew even angrier. The blood energy around its body condensed, and it threw another punch.

Crack!

A crack appeared in the golden alms bowl!

As Little Black continued to strike the golden alms bowl, cracks spread everywhere. Finally, it turned into a burst of golden light and shattered.

“My… my treasure!” Qin Shou’s heart was bleeding. His eggs were broken!

Not having time for further lamentations, Qin Shou only felt several black lines flash before his eyes.

Bang, bang, bang!

He felt countless powerful forces striking his body, as if he were about to fall apart.

The other disciples from the Beast Taming Peak also cried out in agony.

“Help! Help!”

The disciples of Beast Taming Peak shouted.

But because they had set up a restriction formation earlier, nothing could be heard outside.

“Fengzi, quickly release the restriction formation!”

Qin Shou didn’t speak. He was being kneaded into a ball by Little Black, used as a ball to kick.

“Qin Shou, Qin Shou, hurry!” Anxious disciples directly shouted Fengzi’s full name.

“Ah! Ah! Don’t kick me there, don’t kick me there, Ant Brother…”

The group of disciples screamed until dawn.

Ye Kong had another good night’s sleep last night.

Cultivators themselves don’t need to sleep; they use all their time to cultivate.

But cultivation was useless to Ye Kong. He only needed to maintain his handsomeness and fish to break through.

“Alas, I wanted to be an ordinary cultivator, cultivating day and night, fighting ferocious beasts everywhere, seeking opportunities for breakthroughs. But this system just won’t let me experience the joy of being an ordinary cultivator. What kind of suffering is this?” Ye Kong lamented.

Because of the Profound Yellow Art, he felt that if his cultivation continued to break through, the spiritual energy of the entire continent would not be even one-tenth of what was in his body.

“Don’t sleep, get up!” Ye Kong kicked the purple-robed cultivator’s face.

The disciples of the Beast Taming Peak groggily woke up, startled to see Ye Kong.

“What are you doing here?” Ye Kong asked with ill intentions.

“We…” The purple-robed steward thought, he couldn’t tell the truth, letting this guy know that Mount Xiaoyao had spirit beasts. “We were cultivating last night, and seeing the beautiful scenery of Mount Xiaoyao and Senior Uncle’s handsomeness, we accidentally sleepwalked here!”

“We’ll take our leave now, we’ll take our leave now.” The purple-robed steward hurriedly rushed back.

Passing by the Bitter Sea, they found the restriction formation still there, immediately realizing something was wrong. They released the restriction formation and found Fengzi Qin Shou and the disciples all wailing on the ground.

Their voices were hoarse.

Their throats had really been screamed raw, but no one came to save them.

“Fengzi, let’s go!” The purple-robed steward quickly lifted Fengzi and walked out of Mount Xiaoyao.

They never wanted to come here again!

“Hmm? Isn’t this the Peak Master of the Beast Taming Peak? Why are you all bruised and swollen? Have you encountered thieves?” Coincidentally, Chen Changqing was preparing to go to Mount Xiaoyao to “visit” Lin Yaoyao.

Qin Shou was about to speak when the seven-colored parrot called out, “Qin Shou stole ants, Qin Shou’s big treasure was blown up!”

The seven-colored parrot had also been beaten, and its pronunciation was inaccurate. To Chen Changqing, it sounded like—Qin Shou stole people, Qin Shou’s big treasure was blown up!

The Little Sword God Chen Changqing was immediately stunned. This Fengzi of the Beast Taming Peak, went to steal people last night?

And his big treasure was blown up!

“Qin Shou stole people, Qin Shou’s big treasure was blown up.” The seven-colored parrot shouted at the top of its lungs.

Many passing disciples, upon hearing this, revealed strange expressions.

“Damn you!” Qin Shou cursed.

This time, he had no face to see anyone!

…

Leaving the people-stealing Qin Shou, Chen Changqing carried a long scroll in his left hand and waved a folding fan in his right, strolling to Mount Xiaoyao.

“I wonder how Yaoyao is cultivating. What cultivation resources can Mount Xiaoyao give her?”

Chen Changqing was very disdainful. The long scroll in his left hand was a top-tier sword technique.

Sword techniques and术法 (shùfǎ - magic) are ranked into Saint, Sky, Earth, and Yellow, with Yellow being the worst and Saint being the strongest.

Of course, there is also the legendary God rank.

And the Long River Sword Technique he brought today is—a Profound rank, high-grade, ninth-stage peak sword technique!

“Hmph, just a woman who hasn’t seen the world.”

“When she knows that Mount Xiaoyao can’t give her any cultivation resources, and I can easily give her a Profound rank, high-grade, ninth-stage peak sword technique, wouldn’t she take the initiative to undress and offer herself to me?”
