"Lord Li!" he gasped, his eyes wide open. He hadn't even thought about it, and just stuffed the entire chicken bone into his mouth, then fiercely crushed it into pieces and swallowed it, turning his face a deep purple in the process.
In the entire sect, he was most worried about Li Qinghou, especially after eating so many chickens. Yan Xiaobao actually felt a bit guilty. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly approached, appearing very charming and also very sincere as he clasped his hands tightly, bowing in greeting.
"Disciple offers greetings, Lord Pike."
Li Qinghou looked at Yan Xiaobao, his face completely expressionless. Inside, he felt somewhat torn. Yan Xiaobao's ancestor had truly expressed some goodwill to him, and Li Qinghou was the type of person who deeply appreciated such things. Although Yan Xiaobao had clearly done something, he couldn't forget what had happened years ago.
Peak Lords from Green Crest Peak and Violet Cauldron Peak had already spoken to him about the Spirit Tail Chicken issue. Although the chickens weren't necessarily very expensive, Li Qinghou couldn't allow others to criticize his own disciple, so he compensated with an amount several times the chicken's actual value.
Now, he looked at Yan Xiaobao, feeling even more annoyed at how he failed to meet expectations.
Li Qinghou snorted and then said, "You've been an Outer Sect disciple for more than half a year, yet your training has only progressed from the third level of Qi Condensation to the fourth-level. Are you very satisfied with yourself?"
Yan Xiaobao blinked and then cleared his throat, unsure how to respond. However, he continued to put on a charming face, reassuring himself that as long as he maintained the right attitude, things should eventually be fine. But when he thought of just chewing on the Spirit Tail Chicken Leg, he couldn't help but sweat heavily.
Li Qinghou felt a headache coming on. After a while of thought, he calmly continued, "Considering how you've been messing around, you clearly have a lot of time on your hands. In that case, why don't you join the fourth-level and Level 5 Qi Condensation competition within three months? It'll be on Xiangyun Peak."
Yan Xiaobao's heart immediately began to race. He'd heard of the competition Li Qinghou was referring to. He knew there were prizes to be won, but he also heard the fighting was intense. If you're not careful, you could even get hurt. Yan Xiaobao frowned.
"Peak King, I'm only at the fourth level of Qi Condensation. If I enter the competition, what if one of them ends up defeating me? What will happen? What should I do...?"
Li Qinghou completely ignored his question. Looking very serious, he said, "This isn't a request. You will participate in the competition. Furthermore, if you don't make it into the top 5, then I..."
Yan Xiaobao sighed. "I know, you'll expel me from the sect, right...?"
Li Qinghou glared at him. Knowing how mischievous Yan Xiaobao was, he realized that the threat of expulsion from the sect might not be enough to keep him in line. Remembering Yan Xiaobao's fear of death, he suddenly threw his sleeve aside, sweeping him out of the courtyard and flying towards the mountaintop.
Yan Xiaobao's heart began pounding madly. Li Qinghou's expressionless face gave him a very bad feeling. As they flew through the air, the wind brushing past his face, before he had time to analyze the situation, Li Qinghou brought him to a place behind Xiangyun Peak.
This was considered a forbidden area, a place that only a few disciples had ever visited. The first thing he noticed was the dense vegetation everywhere.
As they flew towards the area, Li Qinghou pulled Yan Xiaobao into the valley. Almost immediately, an ominous aura could be felt, and various plant colors in the area brightened, even beginning to rustle.
Yan Xiaobao's heart raced as he looked at the plants, a sense of mortal danger rising within him. When he suddenly spotted a deep red venomous snake lift its head, he spoke abruptly, its tongue flicking menacingly as it stared coldly at Yan Xiaobao.
"Snake!" Yan Xiaobao had no choice but to follow Li Qinghou into the valley, his scalp numb as he realized the ground, plants, and even trees in this place were filled with countless snakes.
All of them were bright in color, clearly indicating they were venomous snakes. Moreover, all stared coldly at him, tongues flicking within their mouths.
Yan Xiaobao began to tremble. He had always been afraid of snakes, and the way they looked at him made him terrified. Although they actually seemed not intent on attacking him, their long, sharp fangs dripped venom in a very frightening way.
It was at this point that Yan Xiaobao suddenly remembered he had his immortal skin, and these venomous snakes might not be able to bite through it. Considering that, even with more snakes than now, they were no more dangerous to him than weak chickens. Ultimately, they weren't very scary at all.
However, his eyes fell into contemplation, realizing the risk of not being afraid was significant. If that happened, Li Qinghou might take him to an even more dangerous place. So, he immediately let out a sharp scream, trying to make himself appear as terrified as possible.
Li Qinghou sneered coldly and then released his cultivation base. The writhing snakes slowly shifted, opening a small path, leading to a black cave emitting a poisonous odor.
"Uncle Li, spare me, please!" Yan Xiaobao shouted in a trembling voice. "I haven't violated any sect rules!" Li Qinghou's face remained entirely expressionless as he grabbed Yan Xiaobao and dragged him into the cave. Once they reached the entrance, he waved his sleeve, filling the darkness with a bit of light.
