Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

Chapter 272: Chapter 265: Tussling with the Mighty Green Ox_1

Because her time in cultivation was still short, her strength was not even comparable to Wang Wanyan’s.

If she could rear a couple of formidable insects, she would be able to protect herself in dangerous times.

Qin Niu watched her go home before he swiftly departed.

Upon returning to Shuangfeng Village, tranquility reigned throughout the village.

Since it was located in a remote area, the good news was that information arrived late, so during times of war, it was not easily affected.

The door was bolted from the inside, indicating that Xiao Qing was staying there.

She had been looking after the house by herself these past few days, which must have been hard on her.

“Moo~!”

The sound of the little water buffalo calling out came from the courtyard.

It seemed to sense that its owner was back, hence the calls.

Qin Niu was delighted, the lazy ox had finally evolved.

He knocked on the door knocker.

“Xiao Qing!”

“Coming, coming!”

Upon hearing Qin Niu’s call, Xiao Qing replied as she rapidly ran out of the house.

First came the sound of the door opening, then the sound of footsteps rushing towards the yard’s gate.

The courtyard door opened from the inside, with Xiao Qing dressed in her simple clothes, her shoes just simply slipped on.

She had been woken from her sleep by Qin Niu’s call.

“Master! I’ve finally been waiting for you to return.”

Xiao Qing hugged him tightly, visibly excited.

“Hehe, haven’t been slacking off at home, have you?”

Qin Niu patted her head.

“No, I cleaned the courtyard and the inside of the house every day, and I took great care of the herbs. Xiao Nui woke up, and I took it to eat some grass.” She quickly explained.

“What I meant by slacking off was whether you’ve been cultivating or not?”

“I have been cultivating! It’s just that the cultivation technique 1 practice is quite special. You weren’t at home, and after some of the herbs absorbed the medicinal qi from me, they started wilting, so I didn’t dare to cultivate any further. These days, I’ve been learning the Seven-Star Sword Technique and have somewhat mastered it.”

Without Qin Niu at home, she couldn’t enter the mountains to cultivate under the Ancient Banyan Tree.

So, she could only learn the Seven-Star Sword Technique.

“Good, learning a sword technique is very good. The Seven-Star Sword Technique was once the Seven-Star Sect’s signature skill. Master it, and it will significantly enhance your combat abilities. Tomorrow, I will teach you a step-method martial skill, and you will become even stronger.”

Xiao Qing was his attendant, and he definitely intended to train her well.

“Ah Niu!”

Wang Wanyan, upon hearing Qin Niu’s voice and knowing he had returned, also came over in the middle of the night to see him.

“Sister Wanyan has been daydreaming these days, she’s been thinking about you every day!”

Xiao Qing chimed in from the side.

“That’s nonsense.”

Wang Wanyan’s pretty face instantly reddened, and she glared at Xiao Qing. She was always modest and easily embarrassed.

Her way of expressing feelings was also very subtle.

If she didn’t care about Qin Niu, why would she get out of bed in the middle of the night to see him?

Women are often contradictory in this way.

“Hehe, these days while wandering outside, I missed you all as well. Wanyan, have you practiced any step-method martial skills?”

“No! Martial skills are quite expensive, and I want to focus on improving my cultivation first.”

Her family was just an average wealthy household, with very limited pocket money each month.

It was already considered good to be able to buy a cultivation technique scroll.

Everyone’s path to cultivation is similar, only able to accumulate and strive bit by bit.

Unless you’re a true noble scion or a young lady from a distinguished family, that’s when you can easily possess various cultivation resources.

When Qin Niu first started, it was also incredibly tough.

He would rather eat grass roots and bark, starve and endure hunger in order to become an Insect Master. Fortunately, after many efforts, he finally succeeded.

Once he had a certain foundation, he discovered the Ancient Banyan Tree, a super treasure, and then his rapid ascent began.

Now, with a fortune of nearly a hundred thousand Silver Money, he had a decent accumulation of insects and beast pets, as well as a substantial collection of cultivation techniques, martial skills, weapons, and armor.

These foundations had gradually made him into a junior powerhouse.

As long as he did not fall, he was bound to grow ever stronger.

“If you’re not busy tomorrow, come to my house. I’ll teach you a step-method martial skill.”

Qin Niu said to her.

“Sure, 1’11 come to find you tomorrow. Haven’t you had dinner yet? We still have some meat pies at home, 1’11 bring them over for you now.”

“No need, no need, I’ve already eaten. You go back and rest; come over early tomorrow.”

Qin Niu now possessed a considerably large estate, and he had not been skimping on his diet along the way.

After all, it didn’t cost much to eat.

After sending Wang Wanyan away and closing the door, Qin Niu took out the Diamond Ink Turtle and tossed it into the fish pond.

This timid turtle clearly felt a certain affection for its home.

It cheerfully moved through the water, darting about in the fish pond.

Qin Niu didn’t pay any more attention to it and instead walked towards the cattle shed.

“Lazy Ox, finally woke up, huh?”

As he reached out and stroked its head, he could see that its horns had undergone a noticeable change.

Previously, there were two horns on either side of its forehead, but now they were moving closer to the middle of its forehead.

Could its horns actually move?

Moreover, they were different from the horns of an ordinary water buffalo.

Its horns were spiral.

Additionally, its fur, which used to be blackish-green, now faintly exuded a hint of jade-like precious light.

Its eyes emitted a strange light.

Qin Niu could feel its power; it seemed just as strong as a Grade Seven

Red-eyed Golden Toad’s aura.

In fact, the Red-eyed Golden Toad within the carrying basket was curled up and motionless.

“Ao~!”

The young water buffalo let out a resonating chant that echoed through heaven and earth.

Qin Niu’s termites, the Red-eyed Golden Toad, all remained still. It seemed they held a deep reverence for Little Niu.

Even the War Demon Ant Fourth, who normally feared nothing, was also curled up motionless. Only its antenna laid low, showing a reverence for the powerful.

“Let’s see what level you’ve evolved to!”

He immediately checked Little Niu’s attributes.

Twisted-Horn Majestic Green Ox

Level: Grade Six unguulate mammal, leveling experience 1000000/10000000

Lifespan: 9999 years

Energy: 1000000

Skills: Fertilizer Grade One 7.23/10, Brute Strength Grade One 2.4/10, Divine Light Grade One 0/10 (can emit divine light from the horns to capture enemies or objects), Dragon Chant Grade One 0/10 (can break through evil barriers, illusions, and demonic sounds)

Talent: Awakening, Laziness, Super Defense (physical and magical damage reduced by 50%)

He had not expected it to jump straight to Grade Six.

He didn’t know whether it was because it had consumed a bit too much of the

Ancient Banyan Tree Blood, or it just had excellent natural conditions.

The Ant Queen was currently Grade Five, as was the Diamond Ink Turtle.

The Diamond Ink Turtle’s level had advanced due to consuming an elixir later; otherwise, it would have only been Grade Three.

That is to say, like Little Niu, it had consumed Ancient Banyan Tree Blood to evolve, but while Little Niu had ascended from Grade One to Grade Six in one go, it had only reached Grade Three, a full three grades behind.

From this, one could see that Little Niu’s talent far exceeded theirs by a great margin.

Who could have thought that beast pets, like humans, would find leveling up easier with better talents?

Little Niu typically did not cultivate and was lazy about working all day long.

Yet its leveling was far stronger than anyone else’s.

“So it’s a Twisted-Horn Majestic Green Ox. I wonder if it’s related to the Green Ox of the legendary Supreme Elder Lord?”

Qin Niu couldn’t be sure for the moment.

Because the Supreme Elder Lord belonged to legends, whether this world actually had a Supreme Elder Lord, no one could be certain.

After evolving, Little Niu’s abilities were truly against the heavens.

There was no need to mention Divine Light; it was somewhat reminiscent of the legendary Kong Xuan, who could brush aside all things. Its Dragon Chant was just as formidable, capable of breaking through evil barriers, illusions, and demonic sounds. With it around, these tricks were almost nothing to fear.

Additionally, it had awakened a super impressive talent, Super Defense.

Physical and magical damage was directly reduced by 50%.

A blow that would normally cause too points of damage to its body was now reduced to just 50 points after the reduction.

And its talent could very well evolve further.

By then, it would undoubtedly be a monstrous presence in terms of defense.
