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

Chapter 450: Chapter 442 Immortal Master? _1

Especially after his Fire Phoenix underwent nirvana, the True Fire it spewed became even more terrifying.

Qin Niu saw that Gongsun Jin was struggling in the battle against a formidable enemy and immediately rushed over to help with a couple of jumps.

“Gongsun Gang Leader, I’m here to help you!”

Before Qin Niu even joined the fray, the complexion of the Nine Insect Gang Elder opposite him had already drastically changed, with his armor of Qi becoming significantly more solidified, a sign of heightened defense.

This Elder was the one who ordered the Black and White Protectors into battle.

He specialized in inciting others to be cannon fodder while he himself shrank back.

Now that Qin Niu had directly approached him, he probably cursed silently, feeling a chill running down his spine.

“Gongsun Jin, today I shall spare your wretched life, but after I’ve rested for a while, I will come for you!”

Leaving behind those superficial words, the Elder feigned an attack and, accompanied by his Wolf Spider, quickly fled towards the distance.

He simply did not have the courage to engage in battle with Qin Niu.

From this, one could also see that the majority of the Nine Insect Gang Elders were slippery types, seldom willing to fight to the death against tough opponents.

“Coward! Next time you better wear your wife’s clothes to the fight, you mouse-hearted thing!” Gongsun Jin scorned.

The Elder pretended not to hear and ran off without looking back.

There are two types of people on the battlefield: those who are afraid of death, who only target the weak, and those brave warriors who are not afraid to charge and kill. However, if they do not possess exceptional strength, those warriors often die early.

“Brother Qin Niu, it’s been a while, and yet your Insect Master strength has improved to such an extent. You’re even capable of killing those in the Spirit Qi Realm, truly enviable. I’ve also taken up being a Beast Tamer, and I don’t think my pets are too shabby, but compared to you, I’m still far behind,” Gongsun Jin said with envy.

If he could be as formidable as Qin Niu, he would already be making Immortal Masters flee with their tails between their legs.

The truth was he struggled even against strong foes in the Spirit Qi Realm, let alone challenge Immortal Masters.

Gongsun Jin’s way of addressing Qin Niu had subtly undergone a significant change.

In the past, he would at most call him Master Qin, but now he was calling him Brother Qin Niu.

Gongsun Jin was a Gang Leader who held a Dharma Seal, no different from a Law Enforcement Elder. The people he willingly addressed as brothers could likely be counted on one hand.

Don’t assume that important figures are always aloof, above the trivial matters of the mortal world.

In fact, important figures are more pragmatic than ordinary people.

If you don’t have the strength, they won’t give you a second glance.

But with strength or value, they are more than willing to lower their stance to befriend you.

“Gongsun Elder Brother, you flatter me. This is just like how we men look at other people’s wives, always thinking they are more beautiful and more gentle. The reality is only that we have grown aesthetically weary from spending too much time with our own spouses. Your Twin-tailed Red Fox’s red Qi can ignite vegetation. I think if it advances one more grade, it will definitely be able to breathe fire. By then, its strength will be on par with an Immortal Master. What are my insect pets in front of it? A burst of fire and they’d be burnt to a crisp,” Qin Niu said modestly.

This was his way of being humble.

He always preferred to conceal his skill and never boasted.

His Shadow Fire Bee was born with fire and did not fear being burned at all.

Even if Gongsun Jin’s Two-tailed Red Fox were to advance another grade, it would likely still pose no threat to Qin Niu’s insect pets.

As for Qin Niu’s beast pets, there was even less need to say.

But everyone loves to hear compliments.

Gongsun Jin’s Two-tailed Red Fox was his pride, and upon receiving Qin Niu’s praise, his face lit up with extreme joy.

“Haha, I’ll take Brother Qin Niu’s auspicious words to heart. If my Red Fox transforms successfully one day, I must invite Brother Qin Niu for a drink. It’s just that final step, which seems as difficult as ascending to heaven. I’ve yet to see it transform. Over the years, I’ve spared no effort in nurturing it, and it has consumed many precious resources. I am even considering taking it to the Fire Cloud Cave during the Water and Land Dharma Assembly to rent the Fire Cloud Tunnel for its dedicated cultivation to assist its transformation,” Gongsun Jin said.

He even shared his plans for nurturing his beast pet with Qin Niu.

It was evident that Qin Niu’s few words of praise had genuinely touched his heart.

“Let’s go help the Gang Leader drive back that poisonous widow from the Nine Insect Gang! As long as she is defeated, the enemy forces will surely collapse, and we will have won this battle,” Gongsun Jin suggested. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Gongsun Jin was a trusted aide of the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

He was always loyal and dedicated to the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

“I’ll just follow the two Gang Leaders into battle, wherever you point, I’ll strike!”

Qin Niu nodded in agreement.

“Haha, Brother Qin Niu, that’s some real dedication! Your cultivation is a bit weaker, so try not to stray too far from me. The Widowmaker’s character isn’t great, but her strength is incredibly formidable. Her cultivation must be very close to that of an Immortal Master.”

Gongsun Jin saw how readily Qin Niu was cooperating and found himself growing more and more fond of him.

He was conversely concerned for Qin Niu’s safety.

Soon, they reached the side of the Black Tiger Gang Leader.

From a distance, there didn’t seem to be much to notice. They only saw the Black Tiger Gang Leader and the Nine Insects Gang Leader exchanging blows with sword and blade, fighting quite casually.

It was only upon approaching the Black Tiger Gang Leader that they could feel the terrifying force emanating from the clash between the two sides.

Every exchange subjected Qin Niu’s body to violent tremors.

It was as if an invisible battering ram was slamming into him with force.

Qin Niu’s cultivation was greatly inferior compared to these powerhouses.

This sobering realization highlighted his own shortcomings.

Having powerful Insect Pets wasn’t enough; one also needed strong personal cultivation to last.

“Witch, prepare to die!”

Gongsun Jin, who was usually well-spoken, didn’t hesitate to call the Nine Insects Gang Leader a witch outright.

“Chatterer!”

The Nine Insects Gang Leader coldly shouted and swung her sword through the air, unleashing a slash towards Gongsun Jin.

A terrifying Sword Qi flew from the tip of her sword, like a crescent moon or a surging wave’s leading crest, striking towards Gongsun Jin.

Qin Niu felt an invisible force pressing on him, completely suppressing any thought of resistance.

It was simply too powerful.

What shocked him even more was that the Nine Insects Gang Leader could project Sword Qi from the tip of her sword. This method of attack was far more sophisticated than merely showing Sword Qi at the tip.

Gongsun Jin hurriedly raised his defenses, swinging his weapon to reveal a solidified energy blade that collided with the incoming Sword Qi.

He was using a Judge’s Pen.

It somewhat resembled a pipe for smoking.

This weapon was also a part of the odd weaponry category, used by very few.

Some scholars and scribes liked to use Judge’s Pens.

Especially those literati who acquired positions of power, and then achieved some level of cultivation, they might choose to use a Judge’s Pen.

It could be wielded as a sword, used as a pen to strategize, or even determine other people’s life and death, as well as their fate.

In the Innate Realm, powerful cultivators can display Sword Qi or Blade Qi from their weapons. At the Spirit Qi Realm, they can go a step further, condensing the Sword Qi to make it more solidified, turning it into an energy blade at the end.

Without a doubt, an energy blade is far more powerful than mere Sword Qi.

Boom!

After the massive explosion, Gongsun Jin’s right hand trembled nonstop, and his complexion turned slightly pale.

When he looked at the Nine Insects Gang Leader, his eyes were filled with fear.

“Witch, I didn’t expect you’ve touched the threshold of an Immortal Master. It seems you might already possess the cultivation of an Immortal Master, right?”

He asked tentatively.

The response was another Sword Qi strike from the Nine Insects Gang Leader.

It’s best not to upset women for no reason. If you do, the consequences can be like that of Gongsun Jin’s, enduring one Sword Qi attack after another, until they kill you.

“Damn! Heart as poisonous as a widow’s, they didn’t call you the Widowmaker for nothing!”

Gongsun Jin screeched in a high-pitched voice, once again raising the Judge’s Pen to defend.

He had no choice but to stand his ground, as there was no way to dodge.

The speed of this Sword Qi was too fast; with his current agility and speed, he couldn’t evade it. One hit from the Sword Qi would dismember him on the spot.
