Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 548: Chapter 540 Thousand Beast Pavilion

Because many true strong fighters, like Qin Niu, do not rush to take on the trial in the first few days.

The majority of formidable fighters prefer to make an appearance at the end.

By observing others, they can gain more practical experience and learn from the failures of others.

Qin Niu felt the timing was about right and prepared to take on the trial in the next two days.

In these past few days, staying in his guest room to solidify his Immortal Scholar Realm, he was also paying attention to see if anyone was inquiring about him and Xiao Qing. According to the feedback from the insects he secretly deployed, a total of four groups of people were inquiring about him and Xiao Qing.

These people included the landlord and the landlord’s eldest daughter-in-law.

The Myriad Beast Immortal Sect had annihilated the Yao Family, directly capturing several of the Yao Family’s Pill Masters. Maybe things weren’t as simple as they seemed.

If Immortal Monarch Yu Yuan genuinely only wanted the Yao Family to help him refine a ninth-grade Immortal Pill, simply capturing the formidable Pill Masters of the Yao Family would have been enough. There was no need to exterminate the Yao Family completely.

Xiao Qing’s father had been on the run for several years, and as a concealed bloodline left by the Yao Family, he was still tracked down and pursued by the people of Immortal Monarch Yu Yuan, facing assassination. Treating the remaining bloodline of the Yao Family with such great effort certainly wasn’t just to prevent the Yao Family from seeking vengeance.

This time, Qin Niu and Xiao Qing caused some commotion by taking on the first floor of Medicine King Tower and it was quite normal for them to attract attention.

But for four groups of people to inquire about them, even going so far as to bribe the landlord and his eldest daughter-in-law, was really against common logic.

“Wan Yan, Xiao Qing, let’s go to the Water and Land Dharma Assembly today. As long as the conditions allow, both of you can try to overcome the Immortal Gate. Whether or not you make it through, you can at least gather some valuable experience,”

he said to the two women.

“I’ve been ready for a long time,”

said Xiao Qing, who now knew her heritage. All she was thinking about was finding out her parents’ whereabouts and rescuing the imprisoned clan members.

To do such a thing, she would need to grow stronger.

With her current strength, it was frankly not enough.

“I heard that many experts in the later stages of the Spirit Qi Realm couldn’t get through the First Immortal Gate. Is my cultivation at the Innate Realm sufficient?”

Indeed, her cultivation was not high.

She had just managed to break through to the Innate Realm.

Whether one can pass the First Immortal Gate isn’t solely determined by the level of cultivation. On the first day, Brother Chi witnessed an Innate Realm Expert successfully pass through the First Immortal Gate,”

Qin Niu could only try to find ways to encourage her.

If one did not have confidence in oneself, even going there would mostly just be for show.

At this moment, the Green Silk Worm that Qin Niu had quietly placed on the landlord’s eldest daughter-in-law transmitted some useful sounds.

“Stay in the room, I’ll be back as soon as possible!”

Qin Niu opened the window and, like a nimble cat, vanished in a flash.

He quietly arrived at the landlord’s backyard, looked down from the rooftop, and saw a shifty middle-aged man speaking with the landlord’s eldest daughter-in-law.

“Are you sure that person surnamed Qin and the little girl have not left the room at all?”

“I can confirm it. Every day, I look for excuses to deliver tea for them, and I see everything clearly. The little girl is that Master Qin’s maid, and she has been lying on the bed since returning. She was unconscious for the first two days and only woke up today.

It seems that Master Qin was injured as well, as he’s been seen sitting cross-legged on the bed tending to his injuries every day,”

she told the man.

No wonder she kept finding excuses to enter Qin Niu’s room so often; she was acting as a spy.

A murderous intent flashed in Qin Niu’s eyes.

When it came to potential threats, he always preferred to nip them in the bud.

“Hmm, job well done. Here’s One Tael of Silver for you. Continue to keep an eye on those few, especially that young man surnamed Qin and the little girl. If they do anything unusual or have any important conversations, you can tell me in time. There will be a substantial reward for you.”

The middle-aged man tossed One Tael of Silver, making the landlord’s eldest daughter-in-law grin from ear to ear.

“Rest assured, I’ll do this well. Even if that man surnamed Qin whispers sweet nothings to his wife in the middle of the night, I’ll remember it all and report it to you without missing a word,”

she declared, thrilled with her reward and repeatedly expressing her loyalty to the middle-aged man.

“Get lost, get lost. Who wants to hear their nighttime sweet talk? You just need to pay attention to the important matters they discuss,”

said the middle-aged man impatiently, waving his hand.

“Yes, understood!”

She nodded with a smile on her face.

“Master, where should I find you if I have some news?”

“Just go to the Thousand Beast Pavilion to find me. You only need to tell the clerk that you have something to inform Master Wu, and someone will take you to see me. If you can uncover some important intelligence, I will reward you with at least ten taels of silver, or even a hundred taels.”

The middle-aged man wearing a mask was actually from the Thousand Beast Pavilion.

I must investigate the background of this Thousand Beast Pavilion.

Upon hearing that a hundred taels of reward silver could be obtained, the eyes of the innkeeper’s eldest daughter-in-law lit up.

“So, Master Wu is the owner of the Thousand Beast Pavilion. No wonder you are so generous! It must have been hard for you to come all this way. How about going to my room for a cup of tea to quench your thirst?”

She pressed her body against Master Wu as she twisted around.

This woman, by her age, wasn’t exactly old either, somewhere around twenty-seven or twenty-eight.

From the looks of it, she was ready to offer herself to curry favor with the middle-aged man. Of course, her main motive for doing this was money.

Seeing that the two were having a rather close contact, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

At this moment, Qin Niu made a bold decision, controlling the green silk worm on the head of the innkeeper’s eldest daughter-in-law, quietly flicking it onto the middle-aged man.

As the green silk worm landed on the middle-aged man, Qin Niu’s heart was in his throat.

Because if discovered, the green silk worm would most likely not survive. It might even startle the snake in the grass, making the man wary.

“I don’t have time.”

The middle-aged man clearly was not interested, coldly rejecting her, and subtly distancing himself from the innkeeper’s eldest daughter-in-law.

Qin Niu’s green silk worm successfully crawled atop the middle-aged man’s head and concealed itself among the multitude of hairs.

The middle-aged man seemed to sense something and scratched his head, but not finding anything, he let it go.

…

After watching the middle-aged man leave, Qin Niu also left with his wife and Xiao Qing.

Heading straight to the site of the Water and Land Dharma Assembly.

“Wan Yan, Xiao Qing, later on you two just try to break through the Immortal Gate on your own. Even if I went with you, I wouldn’t be able to take care of you both,” he said.

Inside the Immortal Gate, there were restrictions. Even if ten thousand people entered at the same time, they wouldn’t encounter anyone else.

This prevented any possibility of mutual assistance.

Each contender had to rely on their own skills to break through.

Qin Niu was not in a hurry to attempt the challenge, instead, he prepared to let his wife and Xiao Qing try to break through the Immortal Gate first.

The scene was packed with a sea of people, and there were many challengers.

The two followed the crowd towards the light gate in front of the Reed Platform.

Everyone was queuing to enter.

From time to time, people were ejected from the light gate, looking utterly disheveled. Some were even injured.

But there were also a few who entered and never came back out.

This was actually a good sign.

As long as one wasn’t ejected by the Immortal Gate, there was still a chance.

Wang Wanyan and Xiao Qing leaped into the light gate together, while Qin Niu stood nervously below the Reed Platform, watching.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Wang Wanyan was ejected by the Immortal Gate, retreating again and again in disarray. Soon after, she was caught by a pair of strong arms— it was Qin Niu.

“It’s too hard, I tried my best inside but couldn’t last even a quarter of an hour, let alone find the exit,” she said with a look of frustration.

“No worries, if we fail this time, we can participate again next time. I believe that in ten years, you will surely pass. Go back to our lodgings and rest. I should be going up to take the challenge soon,” Qin Niu comforted her.
