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

Chapter 473: Chapter 465: Mortal and Immortal_1

“Alright, I won’t disturb you any longer. Cai Xian, you should practice the soft technique I have taught you more, it will be beneficial to you in the future.”

Bai Qi Fairy alighted from the carriage with a light and nimble figure, then boarded her own carriage.

Her full figure wrapped in a gossamer dress, slender waist, firm thighs, and the fair skin coupled with her jet-black hair all made her look particularly young. She was quite a sight to behold, possessing a mature charm that younger girls did not have.

With every move she made, her body was like a boneless, graceful snake, full of aesthetic beauty.

Qin Niu made a point of perceiving her cultivation level and found it no different from that of an ordinary person.

“Cai Xian, I never imagined your master was so young!”

“Hehe, my master has mastered the art of eternal youth. Since the day I met her, she has always been this youthful and beautiful.”

Tang Caixian indirectly informed Qin Niu that her master’s age was much greater than it seemed.

“I’m not familiar with many people and things in the city, and I had never heard of Bai Qi Fairy before. It’s against the laws of nature for your master to remain eternally young without any cultivation.”

Qin Niu felt puzzled by this.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural order of life, which no one can escape.

He had assumed Bai Qi Fairy was only a decade or so older than Tang Caixian; with proper care, it was indeed possible for her to look like an eighteen-year-old girl.

Now, it appeared that Bai Qi Fairy might well be over forty years old.

“Who said my master has no cultivation! One time, three strong men heard my master singing from behind the screen and found her voice extremely melodious. They threw down fifty silver money and requested that my master show her face and play a tune.

The men looked fierce and menacing, and the brothel madam, fearing they would cause trouble, pleaded with my master to play a tune for them.

My master complied.

You should know that my master rarely shows herself, and when she performs for guests, she usually sings or plays behind a beaded curtain. On the rare occasion when some high-ranking officials want to see my master dance, she also wears a half veil.

Upon seeing my master’s extraordinary beauty and charm, the three men clamored for her to dance, wanting to fully enjoy themselves.

Upon persuasion from the madam, my master conceded once more and danced for the three men.

Perhaps my master displayed the utmost feminine grace and curves while dancing because the three men were completely fixated, and they even threw out a thousand silver money to try to persuade my master to drink and sleep with them. My master left the scene indignantly.

She has always been known for selling her art without selling her body, and all the patrons in the city are aware of this.

Seeing that my master would not agree, the three men drew their weapons, blocked her way, and one even started smashing things offstage.

At that moment, my master was cornered and forced to fight with the three men. She moved with the softness of a snake and the agility of a butterfly, gracefully dancing among their attacks. In just a short while, the three thugs were injured and fled in terror.

Since then, I knew that my master had martial skills.”

Tang Caixian recounted an episode from her master’s past.

Although brothels seem like sleazy places, they often have enforcers to keep the peace. Behind them are powerful backers from the official circles. Ordinary people contemplating causing trouble in brothels must first weigh their own strength.

When spending money, the madam welcomes guests with a smile, doing everything to please them.

But the moment the money is insufficient or someone wants to cause trouble, the madan’s face changes instantly, calling in enforcers to throw the troublemakers out.

The fact that those three thugs dared to create a disturbance and even intimidated the madam implies that they were not weak.

They must have at least reached the Innate Realm to be considered significant.

With just a few dance moves, Bai Qi Fairy managed to beat up the three thugs. This indicated that her cultivation level was not as simple as it appeared. Qin Niu couldn’t help but think again of the village drunkard Zhang Banzui.

This man also appeared to be just an ordinary person.

Fire Phoenix once told Qin Niu that there was an extremely terrifying human being in a nearby village of the Qifeng Mountain Range. He had been unable to determine the identity of this mysterious strong person.

If narrowed down to within Shuangfeng Village, the most suspicious person was Zhang Banzui.

He joined Shuangfeng Village halfway, and his past was difficult for everyone to trace.

“Bai Qi Fairy is probably a remarkable person. For you to have her as your master is a great boon indeed. The soft technique she has taught you, practiced diligently, is unlikely to be anything but beneficial.”

Qin Niu instructed Tang Caixian.

“Hmm, I will! This set of gentle cultivation techniques is a secret my master does not pass on lightly. Even the eldest senior sister, who has followed our master for many years, has not been able to learn it. I don’t know why master suddenly decided to teach it to me today.”

Tang Caixian still found it a little unbelievable when she spoke about the event.

“Wan Yan is also in the carriage, did she also sneakily learn some of it?”

Qin Niu, concerned about neglecting his wife, teased her with a smile.

“Not at all! At that time, Bai Qi Fairy told Sister Caixian to close her eyes, clear her mind, concentrate, and then she extended her slender jade finger to touch Caixian’s forehead just like that. The whole process lasted less than ten breaths before it ended. I am sure that Caixian’s master must be a highly skilled individual.”

Wang Wanyan inadvertently revealed another special ability of Bai Qi Fairy.

Touching a disciple’s forehead with a finger to transmit a cultivation technique was a feat only immortals could achieve.

It also made Qin Niu even more curious about Bai Qi Fairy’s true level of cultivation.

“Xiao Qing, get on the carriage!”

Qin Niu turned his head to call out to Xiao Qing, who was standing by the carriage.

“Okay!”

She leapt onto the carriage and crawled into the rear compartment.

“Are you adjusting well to living in the city?”

Qin Niu asked Xiao Qing.

“Living anywhere with you and the two sisters is pretty much the same.” She gave a clever response.

But as a child with nowhere else to turn, her life stabilized after becoming Qin Niu’s maid. Her cultivation also improved rapidly. Qin Niu treated her like a younger sister, providing her with armor, gifting her a precious sword, and teaching her the Seven-Star Sword Technique and the Misty Rain Elusive Step martial skills.

This made her highly dependent on Qin Niu.

Wang Wanyan and Tang Caixian were also extremely kind to her, making her feel deeply integrated into this new family.

“Hehe, you flatterer, have you coated your mouth with honey?” Qin Niu grinned and laughed. “You mentioned before that you wanted to learn alchemy. Now that the conflict between the Black Tiger Gang and the two major sects has mostly ended, and there doesn’t seem to be any more danger, I am thinking about sending you to study alchemy with Master Zi Zhou at Miaodan Pavilion.”

Qin Niu had this idea some time ago.

However, owing to the ongoing turmoil caused by the Black Tiger Gang, he was concerned that if Black Tiger City were to be breached, it would become extremely dangerous inside the city.

Now that the situation with the Black Tiger Gang had stabilized, he could consider letting Xiao Qing go to learn alchemy.

“Learn alchemy? Can I study it later? I want to cultivate with all of you for now, to raise my cultivation level even higher.”

Xiao Qing clearly did not want to leave this warm home.

“Husband, why don’t we wait until Xiao Qing grows up a bit more before sending her to study alchemy? She is still so young; I’m a bit worried about her,” said Wang Wanyan, who had a deep affection for Xiao Qing and could not bear to send her away to study at this time.

“Alright, then! Let’s the four of us stay in Shuangfeng Village and focus on improving our cultivation for a while,” agreed Qin Niu.

In his view, now was actually a very good time.

The war had just stabilized, and having made significant contributions during the battles, his renown was high. Before his rewards were decreed, his position was even more esteemed.

Because nobody knew what official position the Black Tiger Gang would bestow upon Qin Niu.

Only he himself knew that he would not accept any official post given to him.

But Miaodan Pavilion didn’t know that.

He could take advantage of this information gap to successfully get Xiao Qing into Miaodan Pavilion. He might even persuade Master Zi Zhou to personally take Xiao Qing as a disciple.
