I Have Refined Qi For 3000 Years!

Book 4: 7: Bait And Switch

Book 4: Chapter 7: Bait And Switch

Bai Qiuran was advancing forward in the darkness.

After entering the hole on the rock wall, he felt that the road he was walking on became narrower and narrower.

Originally, the width that two people could walk side by side, after walking for a while, has now become a width that even one person could barely pass.

Moving forward, the width of the road shrank again and it had become a dark slit. At this point, Bai Qiuran felt that he could only move forward by walking sideways.

He squeezed into this crack on his side and moved forward slowly. The rock walls on both sides squeezed towards him, seeming to have an unnatural sense of oppression as if they were trying to crush him.

Perhaps people with weird fetishes would like this pressing feeling, but Bai Qiuran absolutely disliked it. In fact, if he were not worried about the impact of destroying this cave would affect the entire Immortal Mansion, he would already start to open the way out.

After continuing to walk on this squeezing road for a while, a light finally appeared in front of Bai Qiuran, and he also saw the exit, which was simply a vertical crack in the stone. Except for people who have practiced a special technique, to squeeze out from there, even the cultivator would suffer great pain.

“...”

Bai Qiuran sighed.

“You made me do this.”

He released his Qi and turned his body forcibly in this space with no leeway. His shoulders abruptly opened the stone walls on both sides, crushed the surrounding stone walls.

Then he just faced the crack in the stone and stepped out. The stone walls on both sides were forcibly opened by him, and a spacious road that could accommodate one person was created.

With a loud bang, a big human-shaped hole appeared at the exit of the crack in the stone wall. Bai Qiuran walked out from the inside, patted the dust falling on his shoulder, and looked forward.

In front of him, there was a piece of scorched earth. The ground was cracked, and pillars of fire spew out from the cracks from time to time, and space was filled by high temperature, smoke, and flames.

This fire was not an ordinary flame, at least the fire avoidance technique commonly used by cultivators to be directly immune to ordinary fires was completely unable to resist these flames. After he stepped on this scorched earth, some burning meteors would fall from the sky from time to time. The meteors with billowing flames fell to the ground, causing waves of strong earthquakes and magma eruption.

Halfway through, the scenery suddenly changed again. the ground fire disappeared, the once scorched earth now was covered by frost and snow, and the surrounding temperature suddenly cooled down, as if directly entering the room with the lowest temperature air conditioner after walking all day under the big sun.

Goose feathers and heavy snow flew in the sky, hail and ice crystals fell from time to time. Just like the flames before, these ice and snow were not ordinary things. Walking in this kind of snow, even cultivators would suffer intense frostbite.

“So that’s it, is this the so-called the suffering of birth?”

Of course, no matter whether it was cold or hot, or the strong temperature difference caused by all this, it couldn’t have any impact on Bai Qiuran. Instead, he walked and looked at the surrounding scenery thoughtfully, as if he was jogging.

“Here is the pain of cold and hot winds blow on the body when a baby is born, so the previous passage must be a simulation of the pain of passing through a narrow birth call... Should the next one be the pain of being squeezed by giant hands? ”

Continuing to walk a few miles, Bai Qiuran saw the pair of the “giant hand” that he expected.

A beast with long white hairs, who looked like some kind of ape, and had a pair of big hands, was standing in the middle of the road. Its height is about tens of feet. Looking from far away, it looked like a white hill.

Seeing Bai Qiuran, this giant ape roared in excitement, and while taking steps that could cause the earth to shake, it stretched out its big hand and tried to grab Bai Qiuran.

The giant hand covered Bai Qiuran like a sky, but the next moment, the giant beast wailed in pain.

Every inch of its arms was cracked, like a candy smashed by a hammer. From the broken wound, a huge amount of blue blood flowed out.

Because the power it used to capture Bai Qiuran was obviously more than the power that an ordinary Qi Refining cultivator could bear, Bai Qiuran counterattacked without hesitation.

“Don’t touch me with the dirty hands you usually use to touch yourself, wicked animal.”

Bai Qiuran frowned in disgust, then drew an iron sword from the storage bag.

After the sword, he threw away the hilt without the blade, avoided the corpse of the giant beast that had been divided into two pieces, and then continued on the road.

After the behemoth was killed by him again, the corpse fell to the ground for a moment, but it suddenly decomposed into light and dissipated into the air.

“Interesting, I thought it was some kind of monster beast native to this space, but I didn’t expect it to be an artificial life form.”

Turning his head to look at the giant beast corpse that dissipated into a light spot, Bai Qiuran continued to move forward, full of expectation in his heart.

If Land Immortals has mastered so many magical secrets, maybe they could really have a cultivation method that corresponds to his weird physique, which could enable him to successfully build the foundation and truly step into the road of immortality.

After passing through the three painful trials in the suffering of birth described in Buddhist classics, Bai Qiuran finally saw the end of this road.

Just a few miles ahead of him, a road stretched forward, leaving the snowy ground and entering a thick fog.

But at the same time, Bai Qiuran’s ears also heard a cry for help.

“Fellow Daoist? Fellow Daoist!”

He looked in the direction where the sound came from and found that among a cluster of ice crystals beside the road, there was a cultivator who was frozen in these ice crystals, only his head was exposed.

“Fellow Daoist, if we are destined to meet here, can you extend a helping hand?”

Seeing Bai Qiuran looking at him, this cultivator showed a longing look.

“I was caught by that giant beast and frozen here. Fellow Daoist, you are brave enough to kill that giant beast. Can you rescue me? If I can come out, I will guarantee in the name of our White Dragon Sect that I’ll pay you back.”

“White Dragon Sect? That second-grade authentic sect in Yong Province?”

While talking, Bai Qiuran moved closer to the location of the ice crystal cluster.

“The Righteous Alliance has already said you shouldn’t come in privately, but you don’t listen. This is your own fault... wait, I will let you out.”

The trapped cultivator looked ashamed as Bai Qiuran walked to the ice crystal cluster. His complexion suddenly changed. A blue light flew out of the ice crystal cluster under him, hit Bai Qiuran’s body.

Bai Qiuran stiffened on the spot. Upon seeing this, the “cultivator of the White Dragon Sect” struck lightly and shattered the ice crystal cluster that had trapped him. Then he jumped out of it and walked to Bai Qiuran.

“How about this method?”

The “cultivator of the White Dragon Sect” said to Bai Qiuran:

“I have said that with this fishing method, one or two idiots can always be caught. Now that we have found the body for you, we have to find the body for other compatriots.”

“Bait and switch? What a good idea!”

Bai Qiuran nodded at him, and suddenly punched out, and when the “cultivator” had no time to react, he shattered his head.

The headless corpse fell to the ground, and a gloomy light of the soul flew out from the corpse, but it was caught by Bai Qiuran, and sent to the same place along with the former soul trapped by his incomparable consciousness – a jade pendant temporarily used as a “soul prison”.

After putting away this jade pendant, Bai Qiuran glanced at the headless corpse on the ground and whispered:

“The White Dragon Sect belong to the Evil Alliance. Improving your acting before laying a trap, you idiot.”
