The storage ring contained many materials that, apart from some tool refining materials, Jiang Xiaobai could use for refining pills – a small gain for him.

As for other methods and martial skills, even if they were of exceptional quality, Jiang Xiaobai wasn’t enticed.

Well, they could be sold for money.

He had no major use for the remaining treasures, the only consolation was that he finally had a treasure sword for self-defense.

In this world, the grades of treasures were divided into Heavenly, Earthly, Profound, Yellow, and White; above these five grades, there was the divine grade.

The sword was a superior Earth grade item, not extraordinary, but it would have to suffice for now.

He could finally put the “Nine Heavens Star Sword Technique” to use.

Glancing at the ashes on the ground, Jiang Xiaobai slowly shook his head.

“The world of cultivators truly is a dangerous place. Look, relying on your bit of strength to provoke others typically ends tragically.”

At this moment, an untraceable breeze blew past, the grey powder floating in the sky.

“Ah, look at the consequences of stirring up trouble; even their ashes are scattered! ”

Immediately after, Jiang Xiaobai quickly left the scene.

After spending the entire night cultivating in a quiet place, Jiang Xiaobai, without disguising himself, appeared at the gates of Tianyuan City at noon.

It wasn’t long before he saw the Third Elder rushing over with LingEr in tow. Without a word, he wrapped Jiang Xiaobai in a surge of spirit power and ascended to the sky.

The Third Elder was anxious and rushed all the way.

Once they returned to the Dragon Valley, he immediately dropped Jiang

Xiaobai and LingEr and swiftly headed for the Dragon Hall. Needless to say, Jiang Xiaobai knew it was due to the appearance of the purification pill in Tianyuan City.

LingEr sat on the ground with a carnival apple in her hand, blinking at Jiang Xiaobai.

“Brother Xiaobai, you… have a bite.”

Watching Jiang Xiaobai, LingEr reluctantly handed over her carnival apple.

After spending several days together, she had taken quite a liking to Jiang Xiaobai because he always played with her. Otherwise, no one could take a carnival apple from her.

That was LingEr’s lifeline.

Jiang Xiaobai gave a casual smile, ruffled LingEr’s hair, and magically produced a dozen carnival apples, shoving all of them into LingEr’s arms.

If he couldn’t win the Third Elder over for the time being, he could start with LingEr.

LingEr’s mouth fell open in surprise, her face beaming, clenching the carnival apples as if her life depended on them.

Smiling faintly, Jiang Xiaobai finally left the courtyard.

Next was a rather critical matter; Jiang Xiaobai was never one to let an insult or a hit slide.

Even in his past life as a loser, he had his temper. Let alone now that he had the system on his side.

He had never forgotten the wager that took place in the Dragon Hall.

“Ao Tianheng, get ready to face the music!”

With a scoff, Jiang Xiaobai strode forth, exhibiting the steady stage of early Qi refining. His face was filled with arrogance, and a domineering air faintly revealed behind him.

The surrounding disciples walking past were all aghast, many scratching their heads in bewilderment.

“Since when is a Qi refiner so audacious?”

“Look at his stride. It’s as if he doesn’t recognize family!”

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was searching for Ao Tianheng, Ao Cheng’s nonchalant figure appeared in the distance.

Ao Cheng was currently riding on the crest of success. The last time, he had swindled fifty thousand superior spirit stones from Ao Fang, which not only helped him vent his grievances but also made his days a lot more comfortable.

When the triumphant Ao Cheng suddenly spotted Jiang Xiaobai, his eyes lit up. He owed half his recent success to Jiang Xiaobai.

Just as he was about to approach Jiang Xiaobai, he stopped in his tracks realizing that the current Jiang Xiaobai was even more overbearing than himself?

“Mortal, how come you walk more arrogantly than I, a young master of the

Dragon Valley?” Feeling rather inferior, Ao Cheng blocked Jiang Xiaobai’s path.

Jiang Xiaobai puffed out his chest, wearing an arrogantly smug expression, and even blatantly cocked his chin at Ao Cheng.

Suddenly, Ao Cheng wasn’t pleased.

“Yawha, you, a mere mortal, dare to challenge me… huh? What’s going on, how did you suddenly gain cultivation skills, and even in the Qi refining stage?”

When he discovered that Jiang Xiaobai had evolved from a mere mortal to a Qi refining level, his eyes nearly bulged out.

What the heck, this dude had just entered the Dragon Valley a few days ago?

“How’s that, pretty impressive, huh?” Jiang Xiaobai brags.

“You, you, you!”

Ao Cheng stared hard at Jiang Xiaobai like he was some rare beast. After scrutinizing him for a while and finally confirming his cultivation level, his eyes glazed over in disbelief.

“How did you manage that? In such a short time, you’ve reached the Qi refining stage, are you a god?

Jiang Xiaobai scratched his head: “I honestly don’t know, I just followed the Qi refining method given to me by the Third Elder and this happened.”

Hearing this, Ao Cheng nearly spat blood.

Could there be a more shameless reason in the world?

At least find a more plausible reason!

“Also, did you see Ao Tianheng?” Jiang Xiaobai further inquired.

Ao Cheng perked up at that, he had heard rumors about the bet made in the Dragon Palace.

“Mortal, planning to slap someone’s face, haha, brilliant! I’ll take you to Ao Tianheng now, I’ve disliked that jerk for ages.”

Then, Ao Cheng grabbed Jiang Xiaobai’s wrist and dashed towards a location. He seemed even more excited than Jiang Xiaobai, as if he was the one going off to slap someone.

As they went, he continued to gather people, even intentionally knocking on people’s doors to summon them. Most of the Dragon Valley’s young generation were brought along to watch this spectacle by him.

Soon, everyone arrived at a lavish cavern mansion, nestled amidst tranquility Ao Tianheng’s abode.

“Ao Tianheng, get the hell out for me.” Ao Cheng boomed, standing at the entrance of the mansion, full of energy.

Boom!

A heavy sound echoed, the mansion door was roughly pushed open, and Ao Tianheng stalked out with an angry expression.

Just when he felt a hint of breakthrough opportunity, it was interrupted, which was quite annoying.

But before he could vent his anger, he was stupefied by the crowd gathered at the doorway.

“Ao Cheng, are you asking for trouble again?” Ao Tianheng ground out.

Ao Cheng was wearing a smug smile, “Ao Tianheng, me and our brethren here have come to watch the show.”

Ao Tianheng squinted his eyes. He couldn’t figure out what this punk was up to, but soon he saw Jiang Xiaobai amid the crowd and his pupils shrank. “How is it, aren’t you pleasantly surprised to see me?”

Jiang Xiaobai laughed, “I wonder if a certain someone doesn’t remember the bet we made in the Dragon Palace?”

At this point, Ao Tianheng was utterly pale and speechless.

The overpowering aura of a Qi refining stage artist emanating from Jiang Xiaobai was making him feel a crushing madness.

He just couldn’t grasp how Jiang Xiaobai could reach the Qi refining stage in days!

This must be some joke!

“Hey, here’s our old runner-up from the Dragon Valley’s younger generation, why so quiet now?”

Ao Cheng sarcastically added, emphasizing “old runner-up”, causing Ao Tianheng’s face to turn the color of fresh liver.

“Not that you don’t want to admit your lost bet, can’t handle it, can you?” Ao Cheng continued his taunting.

“Humph, do you take me for a fool? Managing to refine Qi in just a few days, who would believe that?”

Ao Tianheng barked furiously..
