Painting of the Nine Immortals - Chapter 379

Chapter 379: A War between two Women
The Sun had just risen, spraying down golden light rays that reflected off the tall mountains .



On top of the mountain peak, Ling Xian sat with his legs crossed and began his day of training .

Swirls of spiritual energy from heaven and earth dashed out and entered his mouth, nourishing his organs . Then finally, the energy converged at his Dantian, emitting a golden light that was loud and bright .

The golden sparkling light made Ling Xian look like a heavenly being that was grand and difficult to read .

It was as if the heavenly light that never diminished would pale next to his handsomeness .

It had been exactly 10 days since the banquet . After everyone paid their respect through alcohol, Ling Xian finally could no longer sustain himself . He left the banquet early and under the kind accommodation of the Yan Clan, he took shelter on this mountain peak .

Bai Xiao Qi followed along .

Something trivial happened amidst all of this and that was how Yan Ning Zhi was not happy about Bai Xio Qi living together with Ling Xian . For this, she fought against Bai Xiao Qi for seven days straight . The battle between the two women only ended when Ling Xian interrupted .

"Phew…"

Exhaling a murky breath, Ling Xian slowly opened his eyes . Two light rays shot of his eyes sharply as if thunder bolts were shooting through the void .

"Just as recorded in historical records, after cultivators reach the completion level, training speed slows way down . "

Getting a sense of the perfect golden Dan inside his body, Ling Xian sighed and muttered to himself, "After 10 whole days, I have not advanced in training at all . I have to figure out a way to breakthrough . "

"What a pity . Opportunities to breakthrough are so rare, where do I ever find those?" Ling Xian rumbled on and sighed again .

Nobody's cultivation journey is smooth all the way and there will always be obstacles . Ling Xian went from an ordinary being to a completion levelled cultivator in six years – this transition was already hard to believe .

If this news becomes widely known, countless cultivators would be puking blood from anger . They train harshly for decades and cannot reach the completion level . Yet Ling Xian achieved this feat in merely six years . The gap between abilities is far too huge and could be described as the distance between heaven and earth!

For this reason, Ling Xian decided to let it go for a while and think about the alliance first . "Leader Yan went on his way seven days ago . It will take him around three months to speak to all three leaders . It seems like I have to be patient this time . "

He then stood up to find Bai Xiao Qi to talk about the next steps .



However, the moment he stood up, a blue silhouette descended from the sky and landed on top of the peak .

Her skin clear, her eyes dewy, her hair dark and flowy, she truly looked like a goddess who was visiting from Heavens .

It was Yan Ning Zhi .

"Ling Xian . "

Yan Ning Zhi called out and stared at the handsome young man . She smiled, "I wonder if you have any time right now? I want to invite you to a tea party . "

"A tea party?"

Ling Xian paused, "What is that?"

"It's a typical gathering that happens on the Trading Island geared towards the younger generation . Only those with natural talent could attend . Though it's called a 'tea party', it basically is a place where people from the same generation can battle each other casually . " Yan Ning Zhi explained, her eyes flashed with anticipation .

She was naturally quiet and did not enjoy busy settings . Going to the tea party was simply an excuse to hang out with Ling Xian .

"I…"

Yan Ning Zhi raised an eyebrow and continued trying, "Ling Xian, let's go . There is nothing going on here anyways, it's a good excuse to get out of here . Today's tea party is a little different . Rumor has it that many strong cultivators will attend . Don't you want to go?"

"Strong cultivators of the younger generation…"

Ling Xian's eyes brightened . It had been a while since he fought and he felt like his bones were getting brittle . Yan Ning Zhi's words were somewhat convincing . He asked, "Anyone strong in particular?"

Seeing this, Yan Ning Zhi hurriedly answered, "Of course . I heard the strongest Heaven's Favorite from the Nan Gong House is going . Many other direct descendants will be going as well . "

"I see . If that's the case then I can accompany you . It'd be good for me to go out and exercise . " The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled out and his gaze became heated .

He did not enjoy war on a regular basis, but ever since he had his breakthrough, he hadn't fought against the younger generation . This was why he was wavering, as he wanted to go up against geniuses on the Trading Island .



"Perfect, then let us go . " Yan Ning Zhi excitedly answered and led the way .

However, after she took a few steps, she heard a very annoying sentence .

"Wait for me, I will go as well!"

In the next second, Bai Xiao Qi descended from the sky . Nobody knew if she did it on purpose, but she landed between Yan Ning Zhi and Ling Xian .

This angered Yan Ning Zhi greatly, she pushed away Bai Xiao Qi and said, "Go away . I am taking him, it's none of your business . "

"Psh, how's it not my business?" Bai Xiao Qi pouted, her eyes full of disdain, "I want to go, and I will go . What can you do to me?"

"You!"

Yan Ning Zhi was very annoyed . Staring at the cute and small Bai Xiao Qi, she felt like she had never met a girl more annoying .

Logically speaking, she was born gentle and kind . Meeting the cute and smart Bai Xiao Qi, they should be friends instead of fighting against each other every time they met .

The reason for this was of course Ling Xian .

Emotions between a man and woman are torturous and hard to explain .

"Hmmph, what!" Bai Xiao Qi sneered, "Don't think I am afraid of you just because you are better in training . If you aren't scared, then fight me!"

"Who's scared of who? Come at me," Yan Ning Zhi was delirious at this point . Foundational Qi poured out of her and shook the mountain valley .

Seeing this, Bai Xiao Qi did not back down . She too, unleashed her foundational Qi to battle against Yan Ning Zhi's .

Instantly, the atmosphere turned heavy .

Just as the two girls were about to fight, a stern and unhappy voice suddenly rose, forcing them to stop .

"Stop it . "

The moment the voice rose, the two girls glared at each other and took control of their Qi again .

"She started it . " Yan Ning Zhi said bitterly .

Bai Xiao Qi hissed and innocently looked at Ling Xian, "She didn't want me to go . Xian Ling, you have to be on my side . "

"Aye, you two…" Ling Xian sighed, feeling a headache settling in .

This wasn't the first time this had happened . Every time Yan Ning Zhi came over, Bai Xiao Zhi would interfere and they would engage in a battle .

Every time they fought, he had to step out and stop them . This frustrated him greatly but there was nothing he could do . Yan Ning Zhi… it wasn't always her fault . But Bai Xiao Qi… she wasn't always fully responsible .

"Hmmph, it's always this woman . She's always pulling on my tail . " Bai Xio Qi pouted and mumbled, "I don't care . I want to go with you!"

"I won't let you no matter what . What can you do about it?" Yan Ning Zhi stared her down .

Bai Xiao Qi stared back unwelcomingly, "Okay, I will scratch the life out of that face of yours . I sure want to see how you plan on seducing Xian Ling after that!"

Yan Ning Zhi's face was red at this point, "How did I seduce him?"

"You come over every day! And every day you come up with some excuses to be with him . Hearing you call his name gives me goosebumps . " Bai Xiao Qi faked a disgusted expression .

"You!"

Yan Ning Zhi was enraged . Angry Qi once again washed out of her . She planned on teaching this girl a lesson .

Seeing this, Ling Xian shook his head helplessly, "Alright, can you all just be quiet . "

Instantly, the two girl shut their lips .

"Ah… headache . "

Ling Xian whispered to himself . First he looked at Yan Ning Zhi, "Ning Zhi, Xiao Qi is still young . Let her win sometimes . "

"Yes . "

Yan Ning Zhi felt wronged . But since Ling Xian meant so much to her, she could only nod .

"Hehe, I will see how you behave in the future . "

After seeing Ling Xian warn Yan Ning Zhi, Bai Xiao Qi appeared very proud . She raised her eyebrows so high that they were almost flying off her face . However, this expression didn't last long . Her joy quickly turned into sadness .

"Xiao Qi, if you still want my help, then wait here . " Ling Xian glanced at Bai Xiao Qi, "Also, don't use such ugly words . Seduce? Who seduced me?"

"Okay… I understand . " Bai Xiao Qi nodded in sadness .

It was Yan Ning Zhi's turn to be happy . She looked at Bai Xiao Qi threatening and grabbed Ling Xian's arm and swung it around . In an instant, they disappeared .

"What a vile woman!"

Bai Xiao Qi stomped her feet and watched as the two shadows disappeared . She cursed, "Yan Ning Zhi, if you dare to seduce Xian Ling then I will teach you a lesson!"

… .

Inside the sky, Ling Xian and Yan Ning Zhi moved quickly towards where the tea party was .

Ling Xian, like a celestial being, walked among the cloud leisurely .

The two of them walked on shoulder to shoulder . A beautiful woman and a handsome man, they looked like the perfect pair .

After walking like that for three days, a dense green forest finally came to Ling Xian's view . It was the location of the tea party .

Ling Xian's eyes sparkled of high expectation .

"Let me witness, just how different a genius of the Trading Island is . "
