Chapter 272: Chapter 265: Tussling with the Mighty Green Ox_1

Because her time in cultivation was still short, her strength was not even comparable to Wang Wanyan’s.

If she could rear a couple of formidable insects, she would be able to protect herself in dangerous times.

Qin Niu watched her go home before he swiftly departed.

Upon returning to Shuangfeng Village, tranquility reigned throughout the village.

Since it was located in a remote area, the good news was that information arrived late, so during times of war, it was not easily affected.

The door was bolted from the inside, indicating that Xiao Qing was staying there.

She had been looking after the house by herself these past few days, which must have been hard on her.

“Moo~!”

The sound of the little water buffalo calling out came from the courtyard.

It seemed to sense that its owner was back, hence the calls.

Qin Niu was delighted, the lazy ox had finally evolved.

He knocked on the door knocker.

“Xiao Qing!”

“Coming, coming!”

Upon hearing Qin Niu’s call, Xiao Qing replied as she rapidly ran out of the house.

First came the sound of the door opening, then the sound of footsteps rushing towards the yard’s gate.

The courtyard door opened from the inside, with Xiao Qing dressed in her simple clothes, her shoes just simply slipped on.

She had been woken from her sleep by Qin Niu’s call.

“Master! I’ve finally been waiting for you to return.”

Xiao Qing hugged him tightly, visibly excited.

“Hehe, haven’t been slacking off at home, have you?”

Qin Niu patted her head.

“No, I cleaned the courtyard and the inside of the house every day, and I took great care of the herbs. Xiao Nui woke up, and I took it to eat some grass.” She quickly explained.

“What I meant by slacking off was whether you’ve been cultivating or not?”

“I have been cultivating! It’s just that the cultivation technique 1 practice is quite special. You weren’t at home, and after some of the herbs absorbed the medicinal qi from me, they started wilting, so I didn’t dare to cultivate any further. These days, I’ve been learning the Seven-Star Sword Technique and have somewhat mastered it.”

Without Qin Niu at home, she couldn’t enter the mountains to cultivate under the Ancient Banyan Tree.

So, she could only learn the Seven-Star Sword Technique.

“Good, learning a sword technique is very good. The Seven-Star Sword Technique was once the Seven-Star Sect’s signature skill. Master it, and it will significantly enhance your combat abilities. Tomorrow, I will teach you a step-method martial skill, and you will become even stronger.”

Xiao Qing was his attendant, and he definitely intended to train her well.

“Ah Niu!”

Wang Wanyan, upon hearing Qin Niu’s voice and knowing he had returned, also came over in the middle of the night to see him.

“Sister Wanyan has been daydreaming these days, she’s been thinking about you every day!”

Xiao Qing chimed in from the side.

“That’s nonsense.”

Wang Wanyan’s pretty face instantly reddened, and she glared at Xiao Qing. She was always modest and easily embarrassed.

Her way of expressing feelings was also very subtle.

If she didn’t care about Qin Niu, why would she get out of bed in the middle of the night to see him?

Women are often contradictory in this way.

“Hehe, these days while wandering outside, I missed you all as well. Wanyan, have you practiced any step-method martial skills?”

“No! Martial skills are quite expensive, and I want to focus on improving my cultivation first.”

Her family was just an average wealthy household, with very limited pocket money each month.

It was already considered good to be able to buy a cultivation technique scroll.

Everyone’s path to cultivation is similar, only able to accumulate and strive bit by bit.

Unless you’re a true noble scion or a young lady from a distinguished family, that’s when you can easily possess various cultivation resources.

When Qin Niu first started, it was also incredibly tough.

He would rather eat grass roots and bark, starve and endure hunger in order to become an Insect Master. Fortunately, after many efforts, he finally succeeded.

Once he had a certain foundation, he discovered the Ancient Banyan Tree, a super treasure, and then his rapid ascent began.

Now, with a fortune of nearly a hundred thousand Silver Money, he had a decent accumulation of insects and beast pets, as well as a substantial collection of cultivation techniques, martial skills, weapons, and armor.

These foundations had gradually made him into a junior powerhouse.

As long as he did not fall, he was bound to grow ever stronger.

“If you’re not busy tomorrow, come to my house. I’ll teach you a step-method martial skill.”
