Chapter 420 Strange Person

“Focus on cultivating inside. You are a competitive person, it’s best not to get into conflict with others,” warned Lan Lang.
“Yes, I understand.” Qin Chuan understood what Lan Lang was worried about.
With a wave of the Supreme Venerable Elder’s hand, the space before Qin Chuan distorted, forming the shape of a door.
Qin Chuan walked in.
Coming to the Mustard Domain gave Qin Chuan a new experience.
The spiritual energy here was even denser. Even if time did not slow down here, cultivating here for a day would be better than cultivating outside for a few days.
Inside the Mustard Domain was a massive ocean world.
Floating islands dotted the surface of the sea.
Qin Chuan quickly discovered the disciples who were cultivating on the floating islands.
Sensing that someone was observing them, they released their divine consciousness as well and immediately discovered Qin Chuan.
Soon, someone flew over.
It was a tall, beautiful lady.
She landed before Qin Chuan. She had a pair of arched eyebrows and a beautiful face that exuded the heroic aura of a man.
“So you are Qin Xiaochuan!” she demanded.
Qin Chuan bowed politely. “Yes, I’m Qin Xiaochuan. May I know your name, Senior Sister?”
“If you want to know my name, you’ll have to fight me first. If you can beat me, I’ll tell you my name. However, it seems unlikely that you can beat me, given your strength.
“No… you definitely won’t win against me.”
Is this how arrogant the geniuses of the Immortal realm are?
In the past, Qin Chuan would have agreed without any hesitation.
He, too wanted to see how good these disciples of a so-called top second-tier faction were.
However, since he had promised Lan Lang’s request, he decided against it.
To his surprise, the young woman didn’t bother him. It was as though she had already predicted that Qin Chuan wouldn’t agree to fight her.
“Qin Xiaochuan, everyone in the sect knows that you relied on your connection with Elder Lan Lang to get here. Don’t think you are like us.
“We are from two different worlds. We are like the moon in the sky, but you… you can’t even compare a firefly. I hope you know your place,” said the woman before flying off.
Looking at the disappearing figure, Qin Xiaochuan could only shake his head and smile wryly.
Fine! So be it!
If you think I got in through the back door, then so be it.
After the woman left, a few more people arrived.
Just like the female earlier, they had issued a challenge to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan similarly rejected all of them.
These people also left a few words of criticism before leaving.
Qin Chuan shook his head helplessly.
After staying on the spot for a while, he saw that no one was coming, so he went to find an empty floating island to make it his place of cultivation in the Mustard Domain.
Cultivating in the Mustard Domain for ten years was equivalent to a day in the outside world; there was less than half a month left until the challenge.
Therefore, Qin Chuan had to stay here to cultivate for a hundred years.
A hundred years might be a lifetime to ordinary people, but to a Mahayana realm cultivator like Qin Chuan, it wasn’t even as long as a period of seclusion for him.
This was because the amount of energy required to maintain the Mustard Domain’s operation was simply too much. Relying on the Luo Ding Sect’s current energy to maintain it for more than ten days was already the
limit.
After sitting down, Qin Chuan took out the jade bottle that Lan Lang had given him.
The bottle contained supreme-grade spirit pills; anyone pill could fetch a sky-high price at an auction.
Qin Chuan poured out a spirit pill and swallowed it without much thought.
Soon, the effects of the pill began to show.
Qin Chuan could only feel his body surging with energy.
Therefore, he immediately circulated his cultivation technique and refined this energy.
Time slowly passed.
In the blink of an eye, 10 years had passed.
After refining three Spirit Pills, Qin Chuan made a breakthrough in his cultivation and reached the second class of Mahayana.
As his true form was already at the Immortal realm, breaking through was nothing to Qin Chuan, who was only a clone.
After sitting cross-legged for 10 years, it was time for Qin Chuan to strike a balance between work and rest. After which, he stood up and walked outside to stretch his muscles.
At this moment, all kinds of noises came from the sea.
A few pairs of disciples were engaged in an intense battle.
During the 10 years that Qin Chuan was cultivating, these freaks often sparred with each other.
They were all in the Mahayana realm, and a mere hundred years had little effect on improving their cultivation.
Their goal in coming here was not to cultivate but to improve their combat ability through sparring with each other. That way, they could increase their proficiency in divine arts or their control over laws.
Qin Chuan stood on the mountain peak on a floating island, observing the battles between them.
It had to be said that they were indeed quite capable.
Even though they did not display their full strength, just these few moves were enough to roughly gauge their true strength.
As he watched, a figure flew over from afar.
Frowning, Qin Chuan thought to himself, “Don’t tell me he’s here to challenge me!”
Come to think of it, after cultivating for so long, Qin Chuan had the sudden urge to spar with someone.
The figure arrived above Qin Chuan and descended.
Qin Chuan didn’t have much of an impression of this person, but he gave off a different vibe from the others.
That pair of eyes, in particular, seemed to be the clearest thing Qin Chuan had ever seen. They were like a pool of pure water, without the slightest hint of impurity.
“Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Sun Luote from the second division. Nice to meet you!” said the person with an innocent smile.
There was no way to fake such a smile. Qin Chuan had always been a good judge of character, so perhaps this man was truly different from others.
“Qin XIaochuan from the third division,” Qin Chuan also introduced himself.
A pure smile was still on Sun Luote’s face as he asked, “How do you feel after cultivating for so long?”
Qin Chuan was stunned.
Only people who are really close would ask such a question, no?!
This was the first time they were meeting, but some people were naturals at socializing.
Qin Chuan replied, “Not bad!”
Sun Luote pointed at the distant people who were engaged in fierce combat. “Look at them. They practice and improve together. They have such a good relationship.”
Qin Chuan smiled. “You can be like them!”
Sun Lutoe shook his head and smiled ruefully. “I would have loved to blend in, but they ignored me, thinking I’m a jinx and wishing I could disappear forever.”
Qin Chuan couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He didn’t understand what Sun Luote was getting at.
Retracting his gaze from the battle on the surface of the sea, he gazed at Qin Chuan. “You’ve only just arrived at the Luo Ding Sect, so you probably haven’t heard of me.”
Qin Chuan nodded his head. Indeed, he had never heard of him. He didn’t even know much of the people in the third division.
Su Luote sat down and dangled his feet by the cliff. Then, he plucked a leaf from a nearby plant and placed it on his head.
Qin Chuan also took a seat.
“To be honest, there’s something about you that’s very similar to me.”
Qin Chuan looked at him quizzically.
“Because I’m just as unpopular as you are.
“But, you were probably born in a better family than me. Once your capabilities are acknowledged by everyone, their attitude towards you will change, but not me.”
Qin Chuan was even more confused.
Just as he was about to ask, Sun Luote stood up.
“Nice to meet you, Qin Chuan. You’re the only person here who listened to me and didn’t chase me away.”
From beginning to end, Sun Luote wore a smile on his face.
However, Qin Chuan felt that the last smile was a little different from the earlier one.
“l have to get going, lest people gossip about you behind your back.”
With that, he took to the air and flew away.
Only the leaf he had plucked remained.
Qin Chuan picked up the leaf and gazed in the direction where Sun Luote had left. “What a strange person,” he murmured..
