Chapter 446 Looks Like You Are Not Ready
Qin Chuan had been shopping in the night market for a while.
Overall, the items here were not bad, but there was nothing amazing.
After all, this was a place where disciples traded with each other. If there was anything particularly good, they wouldn’t put them here.
After a few hours of shopping and walking the entire street, he was no longer as interested as before.
He stopped in front of a stall.
“Senior Brother, a fruit juice with more ice.”
In addition to trading items, there were also food stalls in the night market.
“Here, please take it.” The stall owner was all smiles as he brought a cup of magma-colored fruit juice.
Qin Chuan took the cup containing the fruit juice and placed the spirit stones on the table.
The fruit juice here was not cheap. It required a middle-grade spirit stone.
However, there was a reason why it was expensive. The raw materials used to make the fruit juice were extraordinary. It was brewed from a variety of spirit fruits and the perspiration of what was known as a Red Sun Crane.
As a high-level Immortal Beast, the perspiration secreted from the Red Sun Crane’s body was not only sweet but also helpful in cultivation.
Qin Chuan took the fruit juice and walked out of the street. Then, he took out his flying sword and left the night market.
Flying high in the sky, Qin Chuan did not return to the Luo Ding Sect. Instead, he flew towards the forest.
The moonlight was soft and clear, and the stars shone brightly.
He sat cross-legged on the flying sword, drinking fruit juice and admiring the night sky.
After finishing the fruit juice, he controlled the flying sword to descend.
This area was deep in the mountains. Ancient trees stood tall and overgrown with weeds. From time to time, Immortal Beasts would appear.
After landing, Qin Chuan stood there quietly, not moving at all, not knowing what he was up to.
At this moment, he suddenly said, “After following me for so long, it’s time to come out and meet me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure leaped down from an ancient tree behind Qin Chuan.
The person clapped his hands and said with a smile, “I’ve already used the Breath Concealing Technique, yet you could still discover me. Looks like I’ve underestimated
you.”
Qin Chuan sneered, “I recognize you. You’re the one who was the loudest when you were with Fan Zhibao that day.”
The person walked out from the shadows. Under the moonlight, his face looked especially dark, and his eyes were filled with hostility.
“Senior Brother Fan originally told us not to cause trouble for you, but I just can’t stand you. I have to teach you a lesson.
“I’ve been looking for an opportunity. I didn’t expect you to choose such an excellent location.”
That person laughed sinisterly, feeling that everything was under his control.
Qin Chuan shook his head lightly. “In that case, you’re still a disobedient dog!”
“You…” The man was instantly enraged. Dharmic powers surged around him, and he was about to make a move on Qin Chuan.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan quickly stretched out his hand, his palm facing the direction of the person as he clenched his fingers slightly.
In an instant, the space around that person suddenly distorted like a wrinkled surface of a lake.
The man’s heart skipped a beat, and a sense of danger swept through his entire body. All his hair stood on end, and a bone-chilling coldness rushed to his head from his feet.
The next moment, his body floated uncontrollably in the air, and he quickly approached Qin Chuan.
He stopped in front of Qin Chuan’s palm.
Under the mask, a pair of cold eyes examined the man before him.
At this moment, the person’s eyes were filled with fear. It was as if he had seen a ghost. He was no longer as arrogant as before.
“Very coincidentally, I’m also looking for an opportunity.” Qin Chuan chuckled.
“I… I was wrong! Senior Brother, please spare me!” This person begged with tears and mucus flowing down his face. He looked really pitiful.
There was no trace of pity in Qin Chuan’s eyes. “You are so humorous. Isn’t it too late to call me Senior Brother now?”
That person said, “I was blind earlier. Now that I’ve turned over a new leaf, I hope Senior Brother can give me a chance.”
“A chance?” Qin Chuan sneered. “Chances are for those who are prepared, and you clearly aren’t ready yet.”
“Senior Brother, I’m ready,” the man begged. “I promise that I’ll cut off all ties with Fan Zhibao from now on. I swear that I’ll follow you to the ends of the earth. I’ll climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames, I’ll do anything for you.”
Qin Chuan glanced at him and smiled. “Anything?”
Qin Chuan executed his fire technique and formed a tunnel filled with flames.
“If you can pass through this flame tunnel with your physical body, I’ll give you a chance,” said Qin Chuan.
The man was dumbfounded.
How is this giving me a chance? He’s clearly trying to kill me.
I’d lose a layer of skin if I were to move through such high temperatures.
But if I don’t, I might stay here forever.
“Senior Brother, I was really wrong. Please spare me!” That person was completely flustered.
“Looks like you’re still not ready!” Qin Chuan dispelled the flame tunnel and shook his head in disappointment.
Moments later, a scream came from the forest.
The next day.
The sun rose, and golden sunlight shone on the ground. A new day had arrived.
There were still a few minutes until the opening of the Dao Technique Chamber, and many disciples were already rushing over.
“Senior Sister Gu!” Qin Chuan had been waiting in the hall on the first floor of the Dao Technique Chamber since he returned last night. He had come over immediately after seeing Gu Mengyao arrive for her shift.
“Junior Brother Xiaoming?” Gu Mengyao looked at the person in front of her in confusion.
Qin Chuan took off his mask. “Hehe! Did I scare Senior Sister?”
Gu Mengyao smiled awkwardly and subconsciously took a step back to maintain a distance.
“Senior Sister Gu, this is for you.” Qin Chuan held a dark green jade hairpin in his hand.
“For me?” Gu Mengyao was a little stunned.
Qin Chuan nodded and said, “I went to the night market last night and saw that this hairpin was not bad. It suits Senior Sister quite well.
“By the way, I bought an extra one. Pass it to Senior Sister Lu later.”
“You bought it for Yiping?” Gu Mengyao was even more surprised. This was unexpected.
Qin Chuan said with a serious expression, “I’ve just arrived at the headquarters, and I don’t have many friends. I only have the most conversations with you, Senior Sister.
“So take this jade hairpin as a gift for becoming my friend.
“Senior Sis, you can’t possibly refuse!”
Looking at the sincere expression on Qin Chuan’s face, Gu Mengyao really couldn’t refuse.
“Junior Brother, I’ll accept this jade hairpin, but I still have to return the spirit stones you used to purchase the jade hairpin flowers,” said Gu Mengyao seriously.
Qin Chuan waved his hand and smiled. “This jade hairpin is very cheap. It doesn’t cost much. Besides, what I don’t lack the most are spirit stones.”

If anyone else were to say this, she would think that they were boasting. However, as the Junior Brother Xiaoming, who possessed a hundred billion contribution points, he would definitely not lie.
“Then… I’ll treat you to a good meal when I’m off duty someday. That’ll be my reciprocation.”
Gu Mengyao took the two jade hairpins from Qin Chuan’s hands.
In the corner of the hall, Fan Zhibao’s other lackey witnessed the entire process.
“Damn, he even gave gifts. A hairpin at that. This is serious. I have to tell the Senior Brother Fan.”
“By the way! Zedong said he went to follow that fellow. Why hasn’t he returned yet?
“I got it. He must have used this as an excuse to go out and have fun.
“Hmph! Continue to be carefree! We’ll see how Senior Brother Fan deals with you then.
The person immediately left the Dao Technique Chamber.
At this moment, Fan Zhibao was trying his best to fight the Immortal Tribulation.
Once he did, his status in the Luo Ding Sect would change from disciple to elder.
Although there were differences between elders, the treatment and benefits enjoyed in the sect were very different from that of disciples.
With his identity as an elder, he would have a private abode.
With that, his cultivation speed would double.
Two days later.
Luo Ding Sect, tribulation platform.
As the last bolt of lightning disappeared, a figure walked out of the smoke.
Multi-colored light radiated from his body. Above him, the cranes cried out in unison, and immortal clouds rolled.
Dong dong dong!
A resounding bell chimed on the tribulation platform.
A leisurely voice came from the heavens.
“Fan Zhibao has successfully transcended the tribulation. Please proceed to the Elder Office to receive your reward.”
