Chapter 290 Betrayal

The Nine Nether Summoning Technique consisted of nine levels, and Qin Chao had only mastered two of them: the Nine Underworld Hellhound and the Nine Underworld Poison Spider. Whenever he was possessed by one of these creatures, his strength would be multiplied by several times.

But even without considering the combat abilities of these creatures themselves, the fact that they could enhance Qin Chao's own strength when possessed was a particularly pleasing ability.

However, the only drawback was that as the levels progressed, the sacrifices required for the Nine Nether Summoning Technique became increasingly difficult to obtain.

The third level required a tiger, the fourth level a wild buffalo, and the fifth level an elephant... As for the sixth level, that was another matter entirely: the Phoenix.

The wild buffalo was no problem, as Qin Chao had a pair of broken buffalo horn swords, which were the most essential parts of the Mangshan's body. Having a buffalo spirit as a sacrifice would be a good choice.

But when it came to the tiger, Qin Chao really had no idea what to do.

However, the appearance of the White Tiger Spiritual Body in the forest earlier had undoubtedly brought him a piece of good news.

Among the Japanese, there was a White Tiger Spiritual Body. As long as he used this spirit body as a sacrifice, he could practice the third level and then the fourth level!

As for the fifth level, he would have to figure out another way.

If all else failed, he could always go to the park and take down an old elephant...

Qin Chao woke up from his meditation state, exhaling a white mist that froze the carpet in front of him.

He was currently in the realm of Divine Power, and his path of cultivation was to transform Yin into Yang. In other words, he had to cultivate the Yang spirit from the Yin spirit. Once he accomplished this, he could advance to the Infant Transformation stage.

After the Infant Transformation stage, he would truly become a master. However, it would become increasingly difficult after this stage. The Golden Body stage was said to require the consumption of many elixirs to achieve. It was not only a matter of physical cultivation but also a matter of cultivating Yang spirit. The key was to transform Yang spirit into an indestructible golden body to resist the thunder tribulation of the next realm.

If he passed the thunder tribulation, he would become a flying immortal.

If he failed, and did not want to be destroyed, he could only become a scattered immortal.

The power of a scattered immortal and a flying immortal was like night and day. Moreover, the power of a scattered immortal could not progress any further, nor could he find the true path of heaven to ascend to the immortal realm.

But for now, he shouldn't think too much about it. As long as he could transform his Yin spirit into a Yang spirit as soon as possible, Qin Chao would be satisfied.

The place was unusually quiet, and Qin Chao felt somewhat out of place. His ex-girlfriend Yang Shanshan used to live here, and later he shared the place with Su Ji. The days he spent living with Su Ji were the happiest of Qin Chao's life. Unfortunately, those days were too short.

Between the two of them, there seemed to be great tribulation. After being separated for so long, he finally returned to Sunan City, only to be forcibly separated again because of Su Xianqin's interference.

Five million in a year... as just a small employee, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to earn that much money. It seemed he needed to think of other ways.

Qin Chao stood up and glanced at the clock. It was half past seven, half an hour before he had to go to work. He tidied up a bit and picked up his coat before heading out.

Recently, that little beauty Li Na hadn't been bothering him either. With half a year to go before the college entrance exams, even Xu Jie didn't run around anymore. She hired someone to help her sell clothes and spent every day at home, keeping an eye on Li Na's studies.

In Qin Chao's opinion, Xu Jie had some kind of interest in him.

He couldn't understand why Xu Jie didn't like him. After all, he was a handsome young man, even if he was a bit poor.

"Hey, little Qin, off to work?" People couldn't speak ill of others during the day, nor speak ill of ghosts at night.

Qin Chao had just thought of Xu Jie when he pushed the door open and saw a middle-aged woman who was still quite beautiful, cleaning the dust outside her door in the hallway.

Xu Jie used to be a beauty when she was young, and her still attractive figure showed it. However, her face had aged a lot, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot for her daughter.

"Yes, Xu Jie, aren't you going to the store today?" Qin Chao asked politely. Xu Jie was in the clothing business and had a clothing store on the commercial street, which was doing quite well. However, she often had to travel between several cities, which was quite tiring.

"It's alright, Xiaoli is here, so I don't have to go." Xiaoli was the salesperson Xu Jie had hired. "Nana is about to take her exam, and as a mother, I have to watch her every day. Oh, by the way, I made breakfast. Do you want to come and eat? You're definitely not eating breakfast this early in the morning, and young people these days don't eat breakfast, which is bad for their health."

As Xu Jie spoke, she turned her gaze to Qin Chao and asked, "By the way, little Qin, last time I saw you, it looked like you had bought a car, a Mercedes, and a what's-it-called, a Lexus. Did you strike it rich?"

"Xu Jie misunderstood," Qin Chao waved his hand. "That's the company's car, not mine. I'm still riding my Forever 28."

"The company's car?" Xu's smile vanished from her face. "Oh, I see... By the way, I just remembered, I have to make a call to Mr. Wang from Jingyang City. Qin Chao, you go ahead to work."

With that, Xu Jie walked back to her room and slammed the door shut.

Qin Chao awkwardly rubbed his nose. Wow, as soon as Xu Jie found out that the car wasn't his, she didn't even bother calling him "little Qin" or treating him to a meal.
