Chapter 544: Chapter 536: First Immortal Gate

Xiao Qing even obtained the Yao Family’s ancestral Medicine King Furnace.

After escaping the Medicine King Tower, Qin Niu did not hurry back to his guest room to rest. Instead, he asked Chi Xing to find a new place to stay.

In the end, they found a guest room for One Tael of Silver per day.

It was a homestay, where a city household rented out two of their own rooms to them.

It was a bit more expensive, but the advantage was its secrecy.

The great length Qin Niu went to change his accommodation was naturally to lessen the likelihood of being tracked down by others. Or rather, to lower the attention of those who might have an interest in finding him.

As long as he was in Elixir City, it would be no difficult task for the Yao Family’s enemies to find him if they truly intended to do so.

He was clearer about this point than anyone else.

The best method was to lessen the attention of those with intentions, and give them as little opportunity to investigate as possible.

Soon, Wang Wanyan was also brought over.

When she heard that Qin Niu and Xiao Qing had both been injured, she was extremely worried.

Upon entering the room, she quickly examined Qin Niu’s wounds, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Husband, are your injuries severe? How did you and Xiao Qing get hurt so badly?” she was already speaking with a sob in her voice.

Ever since they were married, they had lived together, rising and resting at the same time.

Wang Wanyan cared deeply for him, with eyes and heart only for him. This was the first time she had seen Qin Niu injured and it pained her heart heavily.

“We went to investigate the Medicine King Tower, but who knew the defensive formation would be so formidable, injuring both Xiao Qing and me. Xiao Qing even fainted, and it took me a lot of effort to find her. However, you don’t need to worry too much, we both came back alive, and with some rest, we’ll be fine.”

Qin Niu himself felt somewhat reluctant to deceive his wife.

But in order not to be noticed by those with intentions that this was all an act, he had to ensure it seemed real.

The best method was to deceive even those close to him.

Chi Xing and Wang Wanyan both believed it to be true, so that outsiders would believe it as well.

…

The next day, Qin Niu did not rush to attend the Water and Land Dharma Assembly; instead, he honestly stayed in the guest room to rest.

In fact, he was continuously cultivating, consolidating the realm he had just broken through.

Chi Xing went to the site of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly to gather information and also participated in the initial trials of the assembly.

He could not even pass through the First Immortal Gate.

After returning, his mood appeared very downcast.

“Brother Chi, the Water and Land Dharma Assembly occurs once every ten years. Even if you missed this opportunity, there will be another next time. There is no need to lose heart.”

Qin Niu’s complexion still looked somewhat pale.

The sound of his voice, however, was better than yesterday. Speaking yesterday, he had been very weak, the breath uneven.

“Alas! It’s all about fate! I wish to avenge my beloved wife, yet I can’t even pass through the First Immortal Gate of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly. The matter of revenge seems to be indefinitely postponed, which means that old thief gets to live much longer. Every time I think of my wife’s death, my heart aches as if being wrung, and I hate that I can’t consume the old thief’s flesh and blood.”

Chi Xing sighed heavily.

To see his wife violated to death by the Sixth Cave Master and not being able to avenge this blood feud as a fervent man, he would live in hatred every single day.

His soul tormented as if in purgatory at every moment.

“There will be an opportunity. Haste doesn’t bring success. The more impatient you are with some matters, the more difficult they are to accomplish. Since I promised to help you with your vengeance, I won’t go back on my word,” Qin Niu said as he patted his shoulder. “Tell me about the Water and Land Dharma Assembly.”

Chi Xing’s failure did not mean Qin Niu would fail too.

“Alright!”

He now could only place his hope in Qin Niu.
