Chapter 67: Gushe’s Shock 「Mass Update Two」
Attaining the Dao in a Dream: Scheming Against Cultivators from the Start
Dream Weaver
“So this is the Essence of the Sun and Moon?”
Lin Qi stared blankly at the Golden Core in Gushe’s palm. An inexplicable craving surged through his mind, and instinct urged him on. I want it. Give it to me!
But Lin Qi suppressed the impulse and pulled his gaze away from the Essence of the Sun and Moon. He did not ask Gushe how she had come to possess it.
He had already witnessed two faces of this woman today.
He knew she was not some rule-abiding person. Sneaking into the Heavenly River Grand Gathering to obtain the Essence of the Sun and Moon was exactly the sort of thing she would do.
“Fellow Daoist Gushe, let’s forget the contest. If I have offended you in any way today, I will apologize again.”
“How about we let this matter end here?”
Lin Qi did not want to quarrel with Gushe out of pride, so he yielded.
Neither had expected that this would immediately set Gushe off. She stopped calling him Fellow Daoist and spoke furiously. “Lin Qi, what are you pretending for! You can fool them, but can you fool me?”
“I even brought out the Essence of the Sun and Moon as the prize.”
“Could it be that a human prodigy like you doesn’t dare to compete with me?”
Gushe was furious, but she suddenly realized she had let something slip. Her expression shifted slightly, and just as she was at a loss, Lin Qi waved his hand. “Fellow Daoist Gushe, you praise me too much. Though I am somewhat satisfied with my own cultivation, I cannot bear the title of human prodigy.”
Lin Qi had self-awareness.
His entire cultivation was through his own effort, though he had several thousand more years of dream cultivation experience than other Qi Refining Realm cultivators.
He had also repelled mediocre Foundation Establishment cultivators like Ye Wanli.
But the universe was vast. There was always a higher mountain and a higher heaven.
Someone like him, from a small place, with no master and no background, who even had to steal cultivation techniques in his dreams, did not dare to call himself a human prodigy.
“You’re such a hypocrite.”
Gushe grew even more displeased and mocked him. “Hmph, I am truly ashamed to associate with someone like you!”
Getting cursed at for no reason made Lin Qi unhappy as well. “Gushe, if I don’t get angry, do you think I’m easy to bully?”
“I just didn’t go easy on you today. Call me ungentlemanly if you want, say I stole your thunder if you want.”
“But how exactly am I a hypocrite?”
“Could it be that if you say I’m a human prodigy, I have to nod and say, yes, yes, yes?”
“If I actually answered like that, wouldn’t you just call me arrogant?”
“Truly, only women and petty men are hard to deal with.”
Having been countered by Lin Qi, Gushe was not angry but laughed. She beckoned. “Fine. You like to pretend, so keep pretending. But today, you must fight me.”
“I must know exactly which Nascent Innate Divine Prohibition you cultivate.”
“Otherwise, my heart will not be at ease.”
As Gushe spoke, a trace of killing intent flashed in her eyes.
Lin Qi sensed Gushe’s killing intent, and his gaze darkened. “Gushe, I don’t want to fight you. But if you want to kill me, you can try!”
