How is the Chicken Tail Spirit?

Li Qinghou had actually never gone to the area where Bai Xiaochun's residence was located. After all, it was in a somewhat remote part of the mountain. As he continued on his way, the courtyard of the residence was immediately visible in the distance.

However, before he could get very close, a bright and clear-faced figure appeared, holding a piece of grilled meat in his hand, walking and eating at the same time. He looked engrossed in eating, and even hummed a little.

Li Qinghou's face darkened when he realized that the meat that was currently put into Bai Xiaochun's mouth was definitely chicken feet. Anger instantly flared in his heart.

“Bai Xiaochun !!” he roared, his voice blaring like thunder. Bai Xiaochun, who was sucking chicken bones, almost jumped into the air in fear.

“Master Li!” he snapped, his eyes widened. Without thinking about it, he stuffed the entire chicken bone into his mouth, then forcefully chewed it to pieces and swallowed it, his face turning deep purple in the process.

In the entire sect, the person he feared the most was Li Qinghou, who was especially right after eating so many of his chickens. Bai Xiaochun actually felt a little guilty. Wiping the sweat off her brows, she rushed over, looking extremely charming and also very sincere as she clasped her hands and bowed to give her greetings.

The disciple offered his regards, Mr. Peak.

Li Qinghou looked at Bai Xiaochun, his face completely expressionless. Inwardly, he felt slightly torn apart. Bai Xiaochun's ancestor had truly shown him great kindness, and Li Qinghou was the type of person who greatly appreciated such things. Regardless of what Bai Xiaochun clearly did, he could not forget what had happened all those years ago.

The Peak Lords of Green Crest Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak came to talk to him about the matter of the Spirit Tail Chickens. Although the chickens were not very expensive, Li Qinghou could not allow others to criticize his own students, so he compensated them several times more than the actual value of the chicken.

Now, he looked at Bai Xiaochun, feeling even more annoyed than before at how he did not live up to expectations.

Li Qinghou snorted and then said, “You have been an Outer Sect disciple for over half a year, but your cultivation base has only progressed from the third level of Qi Condensation to the fourth level. Happy with yourself? ”

Bai Xiaochun blinked, then cleared his throat, unsure of how to respond. However, he continued to put on a charming face, assuring himself that as long as he maintained the right attitude, things would go well in the end. However, when he thought about the fact that he had just chewed on the legs of the Spirit Tail Chicken, he could not help but sweat.

Li Qinghou felt a headache. After thinking for a moment, he calmly continued, “Given how you have been playing around, you obviously have a lot of free time. In that case, why didn't you enter the competition for fourth and fifth level Qi Condensation disciples in three months? It will be here, at Fragrant Cloud Peak. ”

Xiaochun's bai heart immediately started pounding. He had heard about the competition Li Qinghou was referring to. He knew that there was a prize to be won, but he also heard that the battle was fierce. If you are not careful, you may even get injured. Bai Xiaochun scowled.

‘Master, I am only at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. If I were to enter the competition, what would happen if one of them ended up beating me to death? What am I going to do…? ”

Li Qinghou completely ignored his question. Looking very serious, he said, “This is not a request. You will enter the contest. Plus, if you don't get in the top 5, then I will…. ”

Bai Xiaochun sighed. “I know, you will get me out of the sect, right ..?”

Li Qinghou glared at him. Knowing how mischievous Bai Xiaochun was, he realized that the threat of being expelled from the sect might not be enough to contain him. Recalling how scared Bai Xiaochun was to death, he suddenly swung his sleeve, swept Bai Xiaochun out of the courtyard and then flew towards the top of the mountain.

Bai Xiaochun's heart started pounding fast. Li Qinghou's expressionless face gave him a very bad feeling. The wind blew on his face as they flew, and even before he had time to analyze the matter, Li Qinghou had brought him to the location behind Fragrant Cloud Peak.

It was a place that was considered a forbidden area, a place that some disciples had once visited. The first thing he noticed was the dense vegetation everywhere.

As they flew towards the area, Li Qinghou pulled Bai Xiaochun until they were in the valley. Almost instantly, an evil aura could be felt, and the various plants in the area became bright in color, and even began to rustle.

Bai Xiaochun's heart raced as he looked at the plant, and a sensation of a deadly crisis appeared in his heart. He was just about to speak when, suddenly, the red venomous snake raised its head, flicking its forked tongue as it stared coldly at Bai Xiaochun.

“Snake!” Bai Xiaochun had no choice but to follow Li Qinghou into the valley, and when he did, his scalp became numb when he realized that the soil, the plants, were, and even the trees in this place were filled with countless snakes.

Everything was brightly colored, making it clear that they were poisonous snakes. Furthermore, they all stared at him with cold, beady eyes, forked tongues flicking into and out of their mouths.

Bai Xiaochun started shaking. He was always afraid of snakes, and the way they looked at him frightened him. Although they did not really look like they were going to attack him, their long fangs were dripping poison in a very frightening manner.

However, his eyes then appeared in his mind, and he realized how risky it would be if he did not look scared. If that were to happen, Li Qinghou would probably take him to a more dangerous place. Therefore, he immediately screamed, and tried to look as scared as possible.

Li Qinghou coldly snorted, then released his cultivation base. The squirming snakes slowly moved out to make a small path, at the end of which was a pitch-black cave that gave off a dangerous smell.

“Uncle Li, please forgive me!” Bai Xiaochun called out with a trembling voice. “I do not violate any sect rules!” Li Qinghou's face was completely expressionless as he grabbed Bai Xiaochun and dragged him into the cave. Once they reached the mouth of the cave, he waved his sleeve, causing the darkness to fill with a hint of light.

Bai Xiaochun could immediately see that the cave was filled with many poisonous snakes, some of which were extremely large. The hissing sounds they made seemed to contain a strange and mesmerizing power that instantly caused Bai Xiaochun's eyes to widen.

The sensation of crisis increased, and he began to pant as he realized that the basic strength of cultivating this poisonous snake was unexpectedly high. There was even one four-colored venomous snake that was comparable to the fifth level of Qi Condensation.

The snake's gaze made Bai Xiaochun feel as if a cold wind was blowing on his back. Then he thought about the Eternal Skin and realized that he would not last long against these snakes. This time, he didn't need to pretend, he was really scared.

“This is 10,000 Snake Valley,” said Li Qinghou in a cold voice, “where we harvest the poison here at Fragrant Cloud Peak. Each of these snakes is extremely venomous. In fact, a single drop of their poison was powerful enough to kill a hundred oxen.

“Any cultivator under the Foundation Establishment who was bitten by one of these snakes, who did not get the antidote in time, will die. Deep within the cave was the Snake King, who was in a large circle of Qi Condensation. Bitten by that snake, and even I would have trouble saving you.

“If you don't enter the top 5 in the Outer Sect competition, don't worry. I'm not going to get you out of the sect. I'll just bring you here and tell you to harvest the poison. ” Li Qinghou looked at Bai Xiaochun.

“Um... uh.. Uncle Li, don't worry, this is just a small sect competition, right? Just the top 5, you said, right? I will definitely do it! ” Bai Xiaochun's tongue felt as if it was sticking to the ceiling of his mouth, and his face was deathly pale. When he heard that there was an even more terrifying venomous snake in the depths of the cave, he swore to himself that he would never return to this place again in his lifetime.

When Li Qinghou heard Bai Xiaochun's statement, he smiled inwardly. However, his face remained expressionless at all, and he even snorted as he carried Bai Xiaochun away. When they returned to Fragrant Cloud Peak, he threw Bai Xiaochun onto the mountain road and then turned around as if leaving.

But then he stopped and looked back. His voice was ordinary, he said, “Oh, right, how is the Spirit Tail Chicken?”

Without waiting for Bai Xiaochun to reply, he turned around and flew off into the distance.

Bai Xiaochun sighed, then turned around and returned to the courtyard, frowning all the way. As he walked, the wind blew, shaking the leaves, which made him think of a poisonous snake.

Returning to his courtyard, he sat there, gritting his teeth and pouting. “Li Qinghou's…. More like Li the Snake! It's ridiculous! ”

“I will definitely never return to those 10,000 Snake Valley. If I get bitten, I'll lose my poor little life. ” At that moment, Bai Xiaochun made his decision. “I will definitely try my hardest to enter the top 5!”

“If I am going to enter that competition, then consider the level of my cultivation base, I will definitely need spirit medicine!” Taking a deep breath, Bai Xiaochun clenched his fists. A wild glint appeared in his eyes as he looked around. Finally, his gaze was fixed on Spiritwinter Bamboo.

“After I complete the Spiritwinter Bamboo mission and get my reward, I will have enough merit points to obtain some spirit medicines. Unfortunately, the length of the bamboo had not even reached fifteen meters. I'm not sure if it meets the requirements…. ” Having reached this point in his mind, Bai Xiaochun was still unsure about the bamboo. However, he had no other choice. After doing some calculations, he made sure that the deadline set for handing over spirit vegetation was getting closer.

Bai Xiaochun scowled through a few more days. At dawn on the fourth day, he got up early and walked to the bamboo. Then he wrapped his arms around the rods one after another to pull them out of the ground.

What he found was that although the bamboo did not appear to be too heavy, each trunk actually felt like it was made of metal, and was extremely heavy.

The ground continued to tremble until ten bamboo stalks fell down. Each of them was nearly fifteen meters tall, and was as thick as a person. Throwing it over his shoulder, he marched out of the courtyard towards the Mission Office.

Unfortunately, the handle bag is not too big in it, and the bamboo does not fit in it. That was why he had to physically carry the bamboo. Fortunately, he was much stronger now, having reached the Eternal Iron Skin. Otherwise, he would never be able to do that task.

As he walked, he muttered to himself sadly. But then he thought about the competition, and the venomous snake, and the possibility of his bones and veins breaking in battle.

“Why am I so unlucky..?”.
