Chapter 9: Keeping it to yourself

In the early morning, the first ray of sunlight shone through the cracks in the wooden house onto Qin Tian's slightly tired face.

He could see with his mind that a small cloud of white spiritual power was floating in his Dantian at this moment, and even the inner wall of the Dantian had expanded by several times.

And this was the result of two months of hard practice.

Spiritual power turned into mist, a sign of the second level of Qi Refining!

After a moment, Qin Tian slowly stood up, and his mind spread out for ten feet.

Obviously, after the breakthrough of the cultivation level, the power of the mind also surged.

Because of this, Qin Tian was in a very good mood. He immediately fetched water to clean the impurities covering his body surface, then put on the disciple's white robe and went out, heading out of the valley.

If he remembered correctly, today was the time to collect the monthly quota.

After breaking through the second level of Qi Refining, his body was strengthened again, at least the speed was more than doubled compared to before practicing.

Now that the ordinary light skills were performed, Qin Tian actually had a faint sense of afterimage behind him.

"Although we have Xuan Lie's legacy to support us, even a small mosquito is still meat, and we still have to claim our share. Besides, since we haven't reached the foundation-building stage yet, this fasting pill is also indispensable."

Thinking wildly in his mind, Qin Tian came to the bounty hall not long after, and walked straight through the gate to the side hall.

However, because there were too many disciples, there was a long queue in the hall at this moment.

Helplessly, Qin Tian could only come to the end of the team.

However, not long after, another white-robed disciple walked in.

Looking at this person's ordinary appearance and medium build, he would not cause any waves if thrown into a crowd, but this person was holding a folding fan and waving it lightly, and his behavior was even more frivolous and exaggerated, just like an ordinary dandy.

Such a strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and there were whispers, but most of them were ridicule and ridicule.

However, the visitor turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions, and waved the folding fan in his hand diligently.

At this moment, the man put away the fan in his hand with a "snap", which attracted the attention of many people.

He seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes lit up, and then he walked straight towards Qin Tian.

Before he arrived, the voice had already sounded:

"Brother Qin, long time no see."

Hearing this, Qin Tian had to turn around with a stiff face and a little embarrassed and replied:

"Brother Nangong, you are still as elegant as ever!"

Obviously, the person who came was that Nangong Yingjun.

Indeed, Qin Tian's mind had already noticed this young master Nangong as soon as he appeared.

However, due to his eye-catching appearance, Qin Tian was a little embarrassed to be with this person.

However, there was no way to hide now!

Sure enough, after Nangong Yingjun approached, he immediately began to talk loudly, which made everyone around him frown.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but look embarrassed, and he was also quite helpless in his heart.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the team in front to gradually dissipate.

Qin Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and quickly stepped forward to take out the disciple token, bowed respectfully and said:

"Thank you, Deacon Li."

Hearing this, Deacon Li just nodded lightly without saying too much, and then took out the five spirit stones and three fasting pills for the month and placed them on the plan table.

Seeing this, Qin Tian waved his sleeves, put them into the storage bag, and turned to say goodbye and prepare to leave.

However, just as he arrived at the door, two white-robed monks came towards him.

After seeing the appearance of the visitors, Qin Tian couldn't help frowning slightly.

It turned out that the visitors were none other than Cao Xu and Wang Lin!

At the same time, the two of them obviously saw Qin Tian.

Cao Xu even sneered, quickly showing his eighth-level cultivation, and rushed towards Qin Tian with a fierce momentum.

With a muffled groan, Qin Tian was unable to resist and took two steps back uncontrollably. A trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he was obviously slightly injured.

The so-called momentum collision involves both mind and cultivation.

Since Qin Tian's cultivation is still weak, only at the second level of Qi Refining, facing the eighth level of Qi Refining master, the result is naturally needless to say.

The actions of the three people instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and a series of discussions quickly sounded.

"Who is this kid, how could he fight against Cao Xu?"

"He is simply ignorant of the depths of the world. A second level of Qi Refining against an eighth level of Qi Refining, isn't this courting death?"

"I think this kid may have offended Cao Xu and was deliberately retaliated."

"Shh~! Everyone should keep your voice down!"

.............

At the same time, Nangong Yingjun, who was always careless in the crowd, had a rare gloomy face at this moment, and stared at Cao Xu with cold eyes.

However, facing the gaze of the whole audience, Cao Xu chuckled jokingly:

"A good dog doesn't block the road!"

After saying this, he walked straight past Qin Tian and headed towards the bounty hall.

And when Wang Lin passed by, he did not forget to secretly transmit a voice and ridicule:

"A waste with mixed spiritual roots, are you still living comfortably in the Waste Valley?"

Seeing this situation, everyone in the hall also reacted, and couldn't help but make waves of puzzled and surprised discussions:

"What did Wang Lin just say? Waste Valley? This kid is so young, he should be a new disciple, right?"

"He just entered the Waste Valley, I'm afraid it was arranged by Cao Xu. This kid offended the Cao family, I'm afraid he won't have a good life!"

"Shh, keep your voice down, be careful that Cao Xu hears.........!"

At the same time, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, although Qin Tian's head was lowered due to injury, there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, Qin Tian forced himself to suppress his anger, and then did not stay for long, let alone any fearless struggle, but turned around and walked out of the hall.

After all, the gap between the eighth level of Qi Refining and the second level of Qi Refining can almost only be described as a chasm. Even if he fought back at this moment, it would only be self-humiliation.

"Endure~! Now that the cultivation is not enough, I can only endure!"

While gritting his teeth, Qin Tian subconsciously clenched his fists, and his heart was more eager for strength.

And Nangong Yingjun in the hall, hearing the discussions of the people around him, showed a little mockery, and then also walked out quickly.

However, when he passed by Cao Xu, he showed no fear, but mocked directly:

"The young master of the Cao family is really so powerful. Only the young master Cao can do such a glorious thing when he is at the eighth level of Qi Refining and bullies the young master at the second level of Qi Refining!"

Hearing this, Cao Xu turned around in anger.

But he did not act rashly, as if he was afraid. He just stared at Nangong Yingjun's back with cold eyes, and his face was full of violence.

"Hmph~! The remnants of the Nangong family will be wiped out one day...!"

.................

In Qianyuan Sect, Qin Tian was galloping on the mountain path.

Just at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and it was obvious that the person who came did not intend to hide at all.

When he scanned with his mind, he found that it was Nangong Yingjun.

Seeing this situation, Qin Tian couldn't help but wonder secretly, and then slowly stopped.

After Nangong Yingjun quickly caught up, his face was unusually solemn, and the casualness of the past had disappeared.

"Boy, do you have any grudges with the Cao family?"

Hearing this, Qin Tian replied calmly:

"I have some conflicts with Cao Xu."

Seeing that Qin Tian was calm and not overwhelmed by anger, Nangong Yingjun nodded secretly, and then continued to ask:

"How could you have a grudge with Cao Xu? Do you know the origin of the Cao family?"

Hearing this, Qin Tian was also slightly stunned, and then raised his head and looked around.

Maybe because today is the time to collect the quota, so occasionally a few disciples passing by on the mountain path can be seen.

So Qin Tian simply used the method of telepathy to say in a rather unfamiliar way:

"This is not a place to talk. If you don't mind, Brother Nangong, follow me."

After saying this, Qin Tian turned around and started to move, heading straight to the distance.

Nangong Yingjun, who was behind him, followed him without hesitation.

After a while, the two of them reached the entrance of the Waste Valley.

But looking at the environment in the valley, Nangong Yingjun was a little speechless.

After all, in such a harsh environment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is so thin that it is not suitable for cultivation and meditation at all. It really deserves the three words Waste Valley.

But what surprised Nangong Yingjun the most was that in such a harsh environment, Qin Tian could actually successfully draw the qi into his body, and even broke through two levels in a few months. This kind of perseverance is really amazing.

For a moment, Nangong Yingjun's eyes flickered, and I don't know what he was thinking in secret.

And Qin Tian in front seemed not to notice it, and continued to walk into the valley.

Not long after, they arrived in front of the cabin.

Qin Tian pushed open the shabby door and invited Nangong Yingjun in.

In the following time, after the two of them sat down casually, Qin Tian told Nangong Yingjun about the grudges with Cao Xu, including the process of being arranged in the Waste Valley.

After he finished speaking, Nangong Yingjun couldn't help but show a chill on his face:

"This Cao family is really a crooked family, and Cao Xu is even more sinister and vicious. You kid, be careful of him!"
