Chapter 1154: I Am Full of Good Intentions
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Humph! Little brat, I helped you with good intentions. How dare you cheat me and even steal our Storage Rings?” Qin Susu landed on the ground and shouted, as she looked at Xu Que angrily.
When Xu Que understood that Qin Susu didn’t want to attack him, he curbed the impulse to run away with his Firestorm Wheels. Then he said with a smile, “My sister, you misunderstood me! I also did that out of good intentions!”
“Good intentions? Heh, heh, how can you be so shameless after stealing our property? OK, just tell me what your good intentions were! If you can convince me, I, your elder sister, might let you go!” Qin Susu said with a cold smile.
“Alas!” Xu Que sighed and shook his head. Then he said earnestly, placing his hands behind his back, “Please don’t always describe my actions with the word steal. OK? I didn’t steal, I took! How could a handsome man steal things? If I hadn’t taken your Storage Rings, the Steal Sect would definitely have stolen them. And you would lose them forever! Now I am keeping them for you. And I will give them back to you. They are safe and sound!”
After saying that, Xu Que waved his hand to throw those Storage Rings back to Qin Susu like strands of light.
Qin Susu received the Storage Rings and said thoughtfully, “So, we should thank you for what you did, right?”
“That won’t be necessary. We should take care of each other. It is really not necessary to mention it. I still have something urgent to handle! Farewell!”
Xu Que was about to leave. He got a feeling that Qin Susu was unreasonably powerful. Although she was just at the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage, he felt he was standing in front of a cultivator at the Earth Celestial Stage. If he had to fight her, he was not sure whether he could win.
“My younger brother, do you really think you can convince your elder sister with your absurd deception?” Qin Susu said with a smile as she waved her hand. A strand of red light gushed out from her fingers and dashed toward Xu Que rapidly.
“Holy sh*t! My sister, I’ve returned the Storage Rings to you. Are you sure you want to have a fight with me?” Xu Que raised his eyebrows. Then he dodged the attack of the red light by stepping on lightning.
Qin Susu said in surprise, “Wow! You are quite powerful! I didn’t expect a cultivator at the Initial Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage could dodge the attack of my Red Dust Shackle!” Normally, she wouldn’t be surprised if a cultivator at the Initial Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage could dodge her attack. However, Xu Que had dodged the attack quite easily. Only cultivators on the Heavenly Tripod List could dodge her attacks that easily!

When Xu Que stole those Storage Rings in front of her, she started to doubt what he knew about him. Now, she was more convinced than ever that Xu Que was quite powerful and was definitely qualified to enter the Heavenly Tripod List. However, she knew almost all the sovereigns who had publicized their names on the Heavenly Tripod List. Some powerhouses didn’t want to reveal their names. So they were called the mysterious powerhouses on the Heavenly Tripod List. Nobody had seen them before. Qin Susu wondered whether Xu Que was one of them.
“The Heavenly Tripod List? I haven’t heard of it before! I only know the Exploding Heavens Faction, and I rank number one in it!” Xu Que said with a smile.
“Boo! You are so petty! I don’t understand why you want to hide it!” Qin Susu said, shaking her head for she was sure Xu Que was one of those mysterious sovereigns on the Heavenly Tripod List.
“My sister, you really have thought too much about it! I don’t want to waste my time here for I really have something to handle! So, farewell, and see you next time!” Xu Que didn’t want to explain. So he waved his hand and jumped up into the sky by stepping on lightning. The next moment, he disappeared on the horizon.
Qin Susu, who had planned to punish him, hesitated for a minute. Then she said with a faint smile, “Heh! He is one of the mysterious sovereigns on the Heavenly Tripod List! It seems I have made the right decision to accept him as my brother! I will let him go this time for I have to deal with the issues of the Equipment Refining Convention! I will ask the Equipment Refining Sect to send more Equipment Forging Grandmasters to our Litian Academy!”
After saying that, Qin Susu turned around and left.
.....
One hour later, Xu Que hid himself in a small hostel in the southern part of Baihui City after flying around the city many times. After checking his body carefully, he didn’t find any marks left by others. So, he let out a sigh of relief.
Apparently, Qin Susu found him because of the soul mark of Qin Susu on her Storage Ring. Xu Que had returned the Storage Rings to her. It should be impossible for her to find this place.
“No wonder this is the Earth Continent. There are too many powerful people here! Qin Susu, who is just at the Initial Stage of the Human Celestial Stage, is so powerful! If I can’t enhance my strength, I won’t have any carefree days in this place!” Xu Que murmured as he shook his head. Then he took out several small Spell Disks from the System package.
Whoosh!
He waved his hand to set up spells in this room to isolate his aura. Meanwhile, a strong defensive spell Array was also set up in this small room. Although this defensive spell Array could be broken by powerhouses, he would be startled when anyone attacked it. That would be enough for him!
“The Medium Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage! OK, let me realize a breakthrough!” Xu Que said with a smile as he took out more than 100 High-grade Spiritual Crystals. Then, he set up a small Soul Gathering Array with those Spiritual Crystals on the ground. After that, he sat down on the ground with his legs crossed as he made a hand seal and placed it in front of his Dantian. After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and entered the state of secluded cultivation.
Although this breakthrough would happen in only a matter of time for him, he still needed a lot of Spiritual Qi during this period. In order to avoid startling his enemies, he had to reduce the consumption of the Spiritual Qi between the Heaven and Earth. So he chose to use the Spiritual Qi in the Spiritual Crystals. Apparently, it was quite lavish. Normally, people wouldn’t do that. However, Xu Que didn’t care at all. Even though he only had several hundred Spiritual Crystals left, he would use them for his secluded cultivation without hesitation. He also had more than 10,000 stolen High-grade Spiritual Crystals. After all, the Spiritual Crystal, which was a symbol of wealth in this place, was nothing for him if he could attain it through robbery easily.
Normally, cultivators didn’t dare to offend big sects. But he was not an ordinary cultivator. No sect could intimidate him and he would offend anyone without hesitation.
Boom!
When Xu Que gave a play of the Ancient Five Elemental Arts, the Celestial Core Power in his body started to flow rapidly. His hair pores were widely opened to absorb the Spiritual Qi. The High-grade Spiritual Crystals started to move along the spell formation and give off magnificent Spiritual Qi, which flooded into his hair pores and Meridians.
This absorption speed was horrible, which was the result of his Celestial spiritual roots and Ancient Five Elemental Arts. The path he had chosen and his Taoist Connotation were different from other people from the very beginning.
Boom-boom-boom!
At this moment, a lot of dull sounds roared out from Xu Que’s body as if they were divine thunder. His momentum was also rocketing at this moment. This situation continued for a long time.
Two hours!
Four hours!
One day!
Two days!
Three days!

Six days later, Xu Que opened his eyes abruptly. His eyes were bright and deep in this pitch-dark night! “I’ve reached the Medium Stage of the Half-Celestial Stage!” Xu Que said with a smile as he stood up from the ground.
At this time, he found that over half of the Spiritual Crystals on the ground had been ruined. The rest were cracked and he would barely sense Spiritual Qi in them.
Luckily, I was fully prepared, or I would have run out of Spiritual Qi during the breakthrough! Xu Que thought to himself as he wiped off the ashes of the ruined Spiritual Crystals. Then, he took out the damaged broken sword and the sword he stole from the leader of the Steal Sect from the System package.
“Sword Spirit, come forth, I prepared a new sword for you!” Xu Que shouted at the damaged broken sword.
Whoosh!
The broken sword trembled a bit. Then the Sword Spirit, covered in black fog, appeared.
After checking the sword in Xu Que’s hand, the Sword Spirit said, shaking its head disdainfully, “Another Inferior Celestial Artifact? This sword is a piece of junk!”
“So, do you need it or not? It is quite difficult to find a good Celestial Artifact now! I risked my life to get this sword! You should at least feel grateful to me!” Xu Que said.
Hearing that, the Sword Spirit said, nodding its head, “OK! Your cultivation stage is still low! I don’t want to make you feel embarrassed! However, this place is full of powerhouses! You’d better find me a sword that is a Low-grade or Middle-grade Celestial Artifact. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to defeat those cultivators at the Earth Celestial Stage!” After saying that, the Sword Spirit turned itself into a cloud of black smoke and gushed into the sword directly!
Xu Que put away the sword and sold the broken sword to the System for 100,000 points of Equipment Refining Essence. Although the quality of the broken sword was pretty good, it was seriously damaged, but it did bring him more than 100,000 points of Equipment Refining Essence.
“It seems I need to get a Low-grade Celestial Artifact sword! Otherwise, I will have trouble when I meet the leader of the Steal Sect’s branch in this city!”
After thinking about the Sword Spirit’s words for a while, Xu Que canceled the spell Arrays in his room and walked out of the door. He decided to hang around in the city, so that he could extort...no, borrow some Celestial Artifacts from his enemies!
