Chapter 561 - Chapter 561: Chapter 553: Gathering (2/2)

“Not interested!”

Qin Niu didn’t bother with even superficial courtesies and coldly refused.

In the past, when he only had the cultivation of the Spirit Qi Realm, he might have been somewhat wary of this venomous woman. But now, with the cultivation of an Immortal Master and many beast pets at his command, he had no need to fear this woman.

“What do men strive and struggle for? Isn’t it for power over the world, to revel in glory and riches, and to sleep with women of all hues? Young brother, you’re so young, and it’s only because you’re thin-skinned that you refuse right now. You can think it over; following me would be a hundred, a thousand times better than following that faithless Hu Lang of Xue Qiuhe.”

She gently brushed the bangs from her forehead, her tone remaining ever so gentle.

Qin Niu didn’t even bother to reply this time.

He simply closed his eyes to meditate, continuously probing that streak of Immortal Qi.

The Nine Insects Gang Leader was truly a strong woman; undisturbed by being rejected by someone younger like Qin Niu, she didn’t show the slightest annoyance.

…

A day went by in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Qing had not appeared yet, which sank Qin Niu’s heart to the depths. He had a very bad premonition.

Despite Xiao Qing’s young age, not even nine years old, the seed of revenge had been planted in her heart since she learned of her family’s annihilation. Determined to seize the chance for Immortal Fate, she would have gone all out and certainly not shrunk back at the last moment.

The Five-Colored Immortal Gate in the sky had begun to flicker, the prelude to closing.

Unexpectedly, at this critical juncture, a bright light emerged, and two more people were transmitted out. They both entered the corridor.

“Xiao Qing!”

Qin Niu flew over, overwhelmed with joy.

She was in bad shape, with blood at the corner of her mouth, her clothes torn, and numerous sword wounds across her body.

She didn’t have the five-colored aura around her, only three overlapped Immortal Ribbons. It seemed she had snatched two Immortal Ribbons and successfully made it through the second gate.

The other person Qin Niu also recognized, it was none other than the old man with a purple marten perched on his shoulder.

The man’s cultivation was not weak, and his beast pet was very strong. It was unclear why he had taken so long to pass the gate.

He had the five-colored aura around him, clearly having refined a streak of Immortal Qi to make his way out.

Refining Immortal Qi was not easy, but it brought considerable benefits after successful refinement.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the old man persisted in searching for Immortal Qi. Finally, as the heavens would not disappoint a dedicated heart, he found and refined a streak of Immortal Qi.

“Master, I’ve successfully made it out.”

Xiao Qing said excitedly.

“Hmm, very good, I believe this experience will greatly benefit your growth,” Qin Niu praised with a smile.

Seeing Xiao Qing alive and well was enough to make him very happy.

“Brother Qin Niu, over here!”

Bai Xuezhu waved at Qin Niu.

Qin Niu turned to look and saw Bai Xuezhu standing there with the Black Tiger Gang Leader and an elder from the Fang Family.

The Black Tiger Gang had an especially brilliant record this year, with five people successfully passing through the second gate.

Qin Niu walked over with Xiao Qing.

“Gang Leader, Leader Bai, Elder Fang, congratulations to you all!”

“Ha-ha, the joy is mutual. You and your maid have both successfully passed through the Second Immortal Gate, which has indeed given us a happy surprise. This year, our Black Tiger Gang has five members who’ve passed the second gate. With the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect accepting additional record disciples, even in the worst-case scenario, five of us will become recorded disciples of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, which is hugely beneficial for our Black Tiger Gang,” the Black Tiger Gang Leader said excitedly, his face beaming. He had grand strategies and had always wanted to strengthen the Black Tiger Gang which he had started from scratch.

Now, with the gang flourishing with talent, it naturally invigorated him.
