There was no doubt that the two fellows he had offended were the most likely, but Jiang Xiaobai did not think so.
Ao Xinran and Ao Tianheng were both youths with the highest status in Dragon Valley. Using such methods to deal with a mortal like him was obviously not justifiable.
It was like if you wanted to kill an ant, of course, you would choose to directly stomp it to death. You simply could not be bothered to expend too much energy.
Just as Jiang Xiaobai was frowning and deep in thought, Ao Yan asked again in surprise, “Is there a problem?”
“No.”
Jiang Xiaobai shook his head indifferently. He casually poured the tea on the table and turned around to walk into the room.
Immediately, Ao Yan frowned and looked at the teacup.
Then, she stared at Jiang Xiaobai’s back and secretly puzzled for a while. Then, she got up and followed him in.
“Did Third Elder teach you anything today?”
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said in a calm manner, “Third Elder is easy to get along with. He even gave me a book called ‘Qi Cultivation Technique’.”
“Don’t forget your bet with Ao Tianheng.” Ao Yan suddenly sneered.
The Qi Cultivation Technique was a common thing. It would be weird if Jiang Xiaobai could draw Qi into his body with such a book.
Jiang Xiaobai did not respond to this. He wanted to see what kind of expressions these guys would have after he absorbed Qi into his body. It would definitely be very interesting.
…
Time passed in a flash. Ten days had passed just like that.
Jiang Xiaobai’s daily routine was very simple. It was Ao Yan’s small courtyard and the Third Elder’s residence.
Moreover, Jiang Xiaobai had set off the choices from the system a few times in the past few days. What was worth mentioning was that he had obtained a ‘Nine Heavens Stellar Sword Technique’ through the reward. It was a divine cultivation technique!
The ‘Nine Heavens Stellar Sword Technique’ had a total of three realms.
The first realm had heaven-defying sword Qi, and it had the power to split mountains and cut rivers.
The second realm had sword-like stars, and it possessed boundless star power. Its power was at least ten times greater than the first realm. A single sword strike contained the power of the entire star.
The third realm was sword splitting the galaxy. At this realm, a casual sword strike would have terrifying power. If it was used directly, it could even split the galaxy with a single sword strike!
This was also the only combat technique that Jiang Xiaobai currently possessed. What made him feel bitter was that he had only just entered the first level of this sword technique. Not to mention entering the first level, it was already extremely difficult for him to use even half of its power.
As for the other rewards, some were useful and some were useless. They were almost all cultivation rewards.
Jiang Xiaobai simply did not have enough time to focus on cultivating. If he wanted to quickly increase his strength, he could only rely on the number of years of cultivation that he was rewarded with. Not only that, he also discovered that this kind of reward did not only increase his own cultivation… It could even increase one’s cultivation techniques.
It could even increase one’s battle experience!
Therefore, he had long made up his mind that if he were to trigger the system’s choices and there were no particularly good rewards, he would first choose the cultivation reward.
On this day, Jiang Xiaobai was humming a little tune as he held a broom and cleaned the Third Elder’s courtyard. He saw Xiao Ling’er holding the Third Elder’s hand as she walked in with an expectant look on her face.
“Master, Master, I want to eat candied haws when we get down from the mountain tomorrow. Can I have one?”
Her coquettish voice made people unable to resist stuffing a handful of candied haws into her hand.
The Third Elder’s attitude towards the clingy and cute Xiao Ling’er was rather doting.
“Alright, alright, alright. Master will buy you some more so that you can bring it back to Dragon Valley to eat, alright?”
“Yes, Master is the best!”
Xiao Ling’er was allowed to jump around in the yard as if she was having fun. As usual, Third Elder held a tattered wine gourd and leaned back on the recliner with his eyes narrowed.
Jiang Xiaobai could obviously hear their conversation. At the same time, he had an idea in his mind. He wanted to go out!
This idea had been on his mind for a long time. However, Dragon Valley was very strict in its management. Other than Ao Cheng and Ao Fang, who could leave at will, it was very difficult for the others to leave Dragon Valley.
If he could get out, it would definitely be a good opportunity for him to improve!
He had already reached a bottleneck in the situation in Dragon Valley. It would not be easy for him to conquer Ao Cheng and the Third Elder.
After spending the past few days together, he really understood the reason why the Third Elder was not well-liked in Dragon Valley.
Not only was his style sloppy, but he was also an old man with a strange temper. Other than Ao Cheng, who was to his liking, the others were basically scolded by him.
There was even a disciple from Dragon Valley who came to offer wine to the Third Elder. He wanted to trouble the Third Elder to do something, but the Third Elder broke the wine jar and beat the disciple half to death.
Later on, this matter caused quite a stir, but the Third Elder had a very high position in Dragon Valley, so this matter could only be put to rest.
It was enough to see that the Third Elder was difficult to deal with.
Furthermore, Ao Yuanwu did not show any intention of letting him help Dragon Valley refine pills.
As for the reason, Jiang Xiaobai did not think about it for the time being. Right now, he wanted to cultivate his own forces more.
As the old saying goes, one must rely on oneself for everything.
If he could get out, with his alchemy skills, he could definitely develop some things in secret. This way, even if there were problems in Dragon Valley in the future, he would still have a trump card.
“Third Elder, are you going down the mountain to go outside tomorrow?” Immediately, Jiang Xiaobai braced himself and went forward.
“What’s the matter?” Third Elder didn’t even raise his eyelids.
“To be honest, I also want to go down and take a look.”
Jiang Xiaobai chuckled.
Third Elder raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Xiaobai. He could see the disdain in his eyes. “What’s the use of bringing you down the mountain? Helping me with miscellaneous chores? Do you think my spatial belt is a decoration?”
Jiang Xiaobai frowned when he heard this. It was really troublesome.
The Third Elder was obviously not willing to bring him down the mountain. After all, he was able to do chores here because of Ao Cheng.
At this moment, an idea flashed through Jiang Xiaobai’s mind. It was a good idea.
Clack!
The broom in his hand fell to the ground without any warning. At the same time, he began to become sluggish, like a fool at the village entrance.
After sensing Jiang Xiaobai’s abnormality, the Third Elder frowned. Just as he was about to scold him, his expression suddenly changed, and his figure instantly disappeared from the recliner.
The Third Elder reappeared in front of Jiang Xiaobai. He was looking at Jiang Xiaobai in disbelief.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai’s body was faintly exuding chaotic spiritual energy. It was very weak, but it could not escape the Third Elder’s perception.
“You… You channeled Qi into your body?” Third Elder said in a daze.
“Did I? Why didn’t I feel it? I suddenly felt like the world was spinning. It was so uncomfortable and I wanted to throw up!” Jiang Xiaobai pretended to throw up.
Third Elder suddenly reached out and held Jiang Xiaobai’s shoulder. At the same time, he began to examine him. Immediately, the shocked expression on his face became even more intense.
“You actually absorbed Qi into your body? How is this possible!?” Third Elder exclaimed.
“Third Elder, you’re not joking with me, right? It’s only been a few days, and I’ve never been able to sense the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.” Jiang Xiaobai blinked his eyes, and his face was filled with confusion.
If there was any best actor award in this world, it would be Jiang Xiaobai!
All of this was deliberately displayed by him!
The Oscars owed him a golden man!
