 Chapter 001 – Talented people often meet their end due to their own skills

    Li Changqing still remembered reading a phrase in his school textbooks:


    "Talented people often meet their end due to their own skills."


    He never quite understood why talented individuals would perish because of their abilities, but now he finally understood.


    As a woodcarver, being killed by his own wood carving falling off a shelf and hitting him was indeed dying by his own skills.


    Yet, in the moment of his last breath, Li Changqing felt only relief.


    He had been obsessed with carving all his life and had reached a masterful level, but this skill had not brought him a good life.


    His wife fell seriously ill, and he had no money for treatment. Eventually, she passed away. His only son, after growing up, fell in with a bad crowd, lazing around all day, only asking for money, stealing valuable items from home to sell, and getting into trouble with the law was a common occurrence.


    A few days ago, because he had no money to give him, his son even punched him and hurled insults. Li Changqing felt his life was a complete failure.


    Death, perhaps, was a form of liberation.


    ...


    Minghong Prefecture, Changting Town.


    A loud crash accompanied by a thousand-year-old ancient tree in the center of Changting Town being struck by lightning marked the end of a three-day torrential downpour.


    It had been many years since Changting Town had seen such heavy rain.


    In a corner of Qingyun Square in Changting Town, there was an unremarkable shop with three characters written above it: Changqing Painting Boat.


    The shop was somewhat shabby, not in a great location, and behind it was a small courtyard. Inside the house in that courtyard, a figure opened the window to look outside.


    "It''s finally stopped."


    The speaker was a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and a weary face, looking as if he hadn''t eaten for days.


    Li Changqing never expected that after being killed by a wood carving, he would be transported to this mysterious world, into the body of someone who had just died.


    When he first arrived in this world, Li Changqing was bewildered.


    Although he had read many novels in his previous life and knew about transmigration, what bewildered him was that others who transmigrated would inherit the original host''s memories, but Li Changqing inherited none.


    All he knew was that the original host had died from coughing up blood, likely due to a fit of rage.


    Moreover, since he arrived, it had been pouring rain, making it impossible for Li Changqing to go outside.


    He searched the house but found no food. There was some silver, but silver couldn''t be eaten, and with the rain outside, there was no place to buy anything. Li Changqing endured hunger for three days, fearing he might starve to death just after transmigrating.


    Fortunately, the rain stopped today, and Li Changqing could finally go out to buy food.


    However, during the three days at home, Li Changqing wasn''t completely clueless. He found many written records left by the original host and, through reading them, gained some understanding of this world.


    In this world, martial arts thrived, and there were cultivators, but the cultivation method in this world surprised Li Changqing.


    Martial artists entered a state of enlightenment through paintings, gaining insights from them.


    Someone might observe a painting of a wild ox shaking a mountain and gain insights into the technique "Mountain Shattering Force," becoming immensely powerful, capable of moving mountains with bare hands!


    Another might observe a painting of a blade with a cold moonlight gleam and gain insights into the "Cold Moon Divine Blade Technique," slaying alien races and earning fame far and wide.


    Thus, in this world, painters held a prestigious status.


    Those who could become painters could sense the spirit of heaven and earth when holding a brush, cultivating their spirit, and the strength of their spirit determined the level of their paintings.


    Powerful painters possessed unfathomable might, with a single painting capable of subduing the heavens and earth, a single stroke painting the cosmos, wielding boundless power!


    Therefore, those with the potential to become painters were truly one in a million.


    The original Li Changqing in this world had the ability to sense the spirit when holding a brush from a young age, possessing the potential to become a painter. His dream was to reach the legendary realm of the Painting Sage, standing at the pinnacle of this world.


    Unfortunately, although Li Changqing had potential, it was limited. He had some skill, but it was like having a brush without bristles.


    He had been painting since childhood, and now in his thirties, he had achieved little. His once prosperous family had been painted away, and he now made a living by running a painting boat.


    Even his only son had left home over three years ago. From some letters, Li Changqing knew his son, Li Hengsheng, was now cultivating in a sect called Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Sadly, no one bought his paintings because they were mediocre, and no one could gain insights from them. Who would buy such paintings?


    He maintained the painting boat, living off the money his son sent each month.


    Li Changqing felt the original host''s life was truly a failure.


    He had looked at the paintings in the boat, and honestly, they were very mediocre.


    The paintings of beasts and such were not lifelike at all, lacking spirit, with rough details.


    This was because, in this world, painters couldn''t paint things they hadn''t seen, and for someone like Li Changqing, a painter without the strength to truss a chicken, it was impossible to observe beasts up close.


    Unlike some major powers, who would send martial artists to capture real beasts for their painters to observe, to cultivate their own painters.


    As dawn broke, sunlight spread over the entire Changting Town, and Li Changqing hurriedly took his silver and ran out. He was starving.


    If he didn''t eat soon, he might really die again.


    "Hey, Painter Li, where are you rushing off to?" As soon as he ran onto the street, someone greeted Li Changqing.


    But Li Changqing didn''t recognize them at all, so he ignored them and quickly looked for a place to eat in town.


    Seeing Li Changqing ignore him, the person awkwardly smiled, not taking offense.


    Although Li Changqing was an unskilled painter, he was still a painter, holding a higher status. No one knew when Li Changqing might suddenly paint a masterpiece and soar to great heights.

    Everyone knew that Li Changqing had once painted a piece that allowed a disciple from a noble family to gain insights and cultivate from the Transcendence Realm to the Postnatal Realm.


    Li Changqing had boasted about this for many years.


    He would mention it to everyone he met.


    Someone approached and asked Li Changqing, "Painter Li, what a coincidence, have you eaten?"


    Li Changqing replied, "Hmm? How did you know my painting helped someone reach the Postnatal Realm?"


    Even Xianglin''s Wife would be ashamed.


    Along the way, people kept greeting him. Li Changqing either ignored them or nodded. Finally, after a quarter of an hour, Li Changqing found a street stall.


    It was selling breakfast, with quite a few people eating there. The aroma wafted over, making Li Changqing''s stomach growl again.


    Li Changqing plopped down and quickly asked the stall owner to serve him some food.


    "Hey, Painter Li!" The stall owner, an honest middle-aged man, was surprised to see Li Changqing.


    Li Changqing actually came to his stall to eat?


    Usually, Li Changqing held himself in high regard and wouldn''t eat at such places, preferring the Jin Hong Tower in town. What was going on today?


    Even the other customers were curious.


    Seeing the owner in a daze, Li Changqing quickly said, "Boss, hurry up, anything will do, just bring me some food."


    "Oh, okay!" The owner snapped back to reality and quickly served breakfast.


    It was just some plain porridge and small dishes, along with a bit of fried dough.


    Li Changqing devoured the food ravenously. After three days without eating, this simple meal was the best he had ever tasted in both his lives.


    Just as Li Changqing was wolfing down his food, he heard someone shout from not far away, "Painter Li, there you are. Saves me a trip to your house. Here''s a letter for you."


    Li Changqing looked up to see a man in purple approaching, carrying a large box on his back. He rummaged through the box and handed a letter to Li Changqing.


    With his mouth full of fried dough and not caring about the grease on his hands, Li Changqing curiously took the letter and saw the name Li Hengsheng written on the envelope.


    A letter from his son?

 Chapter 002 – Long Pavilion, Paper Expensive

    Li Changqing didn''t know much about this son, as the original host had left very little mention of him in his writings.


    He only knew that his son''s name was Li Hengsheng. Seeing this name, Li Changqing understood just how obsessed the original host was with becoming the Painting Sage.


    Find the original at " ".


    "Thank you," Li Changqing said to the middle-aged man in purple.


    The middle-aged man in purple looked at Li Changqing in surprise. Since when had he become so polite?


    He was just a minor post official, yet today Li Changqing seemed a bit off.


    "You''re too kind, Master Li," the purple-clad post official quickly replied, then hurried off to deliver messages to others.


    Li Changqing tore open the letter, finding a piece of paper and a silver ticket inside. He glanced at the contents of the letter.


    The letter was short.


    At home, Li Changqing had also found a few letters from Li Hengsheng, and the content was pretty much the same every time.


    Father, I am doing well in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land. Here is this month''s living expenses. This month, I completed a sect mission, and the elder gave me a reward, so I''m sending you an extra twenty taels of silver. Please spend it wisely. I''m not around, so take good care of yourself. Don''t worry about me.


    Li Changqing looked at the silver ticket, which was for seventy taels of silver.


    Such a ticket could be exchanged for silver at the town''s bank. Although he wasn''t familiar with the prices, Li Changqing knew that seventy taels of silver was certainly not a small amount.


    For an ordinary family, it would be a considerable fortune, but for Li Changqing, who was used to a luxurious lifestyle and needed to buy a lot of expensive paper and ink, it was far from enough.


    From the original host''s diary, Li Changqing had seen complaints about his son being a bastard, sending only a little money each month. He had even written to ask for more, but Li Hengsheng never sent any extra.


    Even though Li Hengsheng sent letters every month, the original host hadn''t replied in nearly a year.


    "This Li Changqing really is a bastard," Li Changqing cursed, clutching the letter. If his own son were even a tenth as good as Li Hengsheng, he would be moved to tears.


    What they say about droughts and floods is true.


    Having such a good child and not knowing how to cherish him.


    Truly a beast.


    Li Changqing knew that the money each month was surely scraped together by his son, who had to send it back. As a cultivator, the resources provided by the sect each month were meant for purchasing cultivation resources. Li Hengsheng probably didn''t have enough for himself and still had to send money back to support such a beastly father.


    Taking a deep breath, Li Changqing held the silver ticket, feeling a bit uneasy.


    Although Li Hengsheng wasn''t his son, having crossed over and inherited this body, receiving his son''s support money left Li Changqing with complex feelings.


    If it were his past self, receiving money from his son, he''d be overjoyed for days.


    But now, receiving this money filled Li Changqing with a sense of guilt.


    He didn''t know exactly what kind of life Li Hengsheng was living, but he could imagine that as a disciple with average talent and no background in a large sect like the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, life couldn''t be easy.


    And he still had to scrape together money from his cultivation resources to support him. S§×ar?h the N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Damn it, in my past life, my son wasn''t filial, and I was upset. In this life, my son is too filial, and I''m still damn upset!" Li Changqing slammed the table in anger.


    "How much?" Li Changqing asked the stall owner. Although he wasn''t quite full, he had lost his appetite.


    "Eight copper coins," the stall owner said sheepishly, noticing that Li Changqing seemed to be in a bad mood for some reason.


    Li Changqing took out his money pouch, picked the smallest silver ingot, and tossed it over, estimating it to be about one tael.


    "So much? Master Li, wait a moment," the stall owner quickly turned around, busied himself for a while, and returned nine qian of silver and ninety-two copper coins to Li Changqing.


    Only then did Li Changqing realize that one tael of silver could be exchanged for a thousand copper coins, and the seventy taels sent by Li Hengsheng was indeed a large sum.


    Seeing the original host''s records of extravagant spending each month, Li Changqing had thought silver wasn''t worth much.


    Turns out, this guy was just too wasteful.


    After finishing his meal, Li Changqing decided to stroll around the town and take a good look at this world.


    He couldn''t live like the original host, idling away and dreaming unrealistic dreams while leeching off his son, could he?


    Having such a son, Li Changqing truly felt heartache.


    Although it was called a town, it was really quite large. Li Changqing walked for over two hours and only visited a few markets. Along the way, he encountered many people who recognized him, but unfortunately, he didn''t recognize any of them and had no memory of them.


    Fortunately, the original Li Changqing was somewhat aloof and didn''t have many friends, so it wasn''t too hard to explain if he ran into acquaintances.


    "Master Li," someone called out as he passed by a shop in Baiting Market.


    A short, chubby old man came out, smiling and clasping his hands. "Your son should have sent money today, right? Come in and take a look. I just got a new batch of exquisite Liuyun paper, perfect for painting, and very suitable for you!"


    Li Changqing looked at the shop, realizing it was a store selling stationery.


    It seemed the original Li Changqing often bought paper here.


    Curious, Li Changqing walked in and looked around. The shop had brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, all looking very exquisite, but Li Changqing didn''t feel anything special about them.


    "How much is this paper per sheet?" Li Changqing asked out of curiosity.


    "Hehe, this Liuyun paper is rare. You''ve always wanted it, so buy a little more today. You''re a regular, so I''ll give you a discount, three taels of silver per sheet. How about it?" The chubby shopkeeper squinted his eyes.


    Li Changqing almost spat out the porridge he had just eaten.


    "Three taels of silver, for a sheet of paper?" he exclaimed in shock.


    "Yes, Master Li, you''re a regular. Otherwise, for others, it would be three taels and five qian per sheet," the chubby shopkeeper replied, looking at Li Changqing in confusion.


    He thought Li Changqing seemed a bit off today. Normally, upon seeing this Liuyun paper, he''d be drooling over it.


    He would never think that a mere three taels of silver was expensive. What was going on today?


    Li Changqing looked at the paper, speechless for a long time. He finally understood how the original Li Changqing''s wealth had been squandered.


    Becoming a painter was truly difficult.


    The initial investment was just too much!


    "Apologies, I just remembered I have soup on the stove at home!" Li Changqing quickly excused himself, unable to afford such expenses.


    Painting was simply a money pit.


    The chubby shopkeeper was momentarily stunned, and Li Changqing had already disappeared.


    At that moment, Li Changqing also realized that he hadn''t seen anyone selling wood carvings in the seven or eight markets he had visited in town.


    If he made some wood carvings to sell, would there be a market for them?


    The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to try. At the very least, he needed to make money to ensure his own livelihood. Otherwise, would he have to rely on his son for the rest of his life?


    Li Changqing couldn''t bear the thought.


    With this in mind, Li Changqing turned and headed toward a blacksmith shop he had passed earlier.


    To do carving, he first needed specialized carving knives.

 Chapter 003 – Yan Family Young Master

    The tools needed for carving are numerous, including flat chisels, round chisels, angled chisels, medium steel chisels, and also axes, saws, and wood rasps.


    Axes and saws were available for purchase, but Li Changqing found that the other tools simply didn''t exist in this world.


    So, when he arrived at the blacksmith''s shop, Li Changqing had no choice but to grab a piece of paper and sketch out the designs, then ask the blacksmith to forge them.


    Although the blacksmith didn''t understand why Li Changqing wanted such strange items made, he agreed with a broad smile after Li Changqing handed over five taels of silver, promising to deliver the items neatly to Li Changqing''s home within three days.


    Next, Li Changqing set out to select wood.


    For carving, the choice of wood is extremely important.


    Wood that''s too hard isn''t suitable for carving, and wood that''s too soft doesn''t preserve well. In his previous life, Li Changqing preferred huanghuali or sandalwood, but in this world, he was at a loss.


    Because this is a mystical world, the types of wood here are different from those in his previous life.


    After several days of visiting various lumber sellers in town, Li Changqing finally chose a type of wood called purplewood, which was somewhat similar to small-leaf sandalwood, making it suitable for his carving needs.


    The lumber seller thought Li Changqing wanted to make furniture and offered to help, but Li Changqing declined.


    Joking aside, even if he were making furniture, he was a professional and wouldn''t let them earn the labor fee.


    A whole piece of purplewood only cost Li Changqing two taels of silver.


    After having it delivered, he tossed it into the courtyard.


    After lunch, the blacksmith had someone deliver the tools Li Changqing had ordered.


    Upon inspecting the tools, Li Changqing had to admit that the blacksmith''s craftsmanship was quite impressive; the tools were almost perfect.


    They felt comfortable to use.


    Over the past few days, Li Changqing had decided not to start with large carvings, as they were time-consuming and he wasn''t sure if there was a market for them. So, he planned to start with something simple to test the waters.


    After sketching some rough drafts on paper, Li Changqing got to work.


    He began by cutting the wood and drawing lines, among other tasks.


    Initially, when he suddenly arrived in this world, Li Changqing felt a bit of panic, but as he started doing the work he was familiar with, he found a sense of peace.


    He became completely absorbed in a mystical state.


    Li Changqing didn''t even notice that a faint blue mark was flickering on his forehead.


    In less than an hour, a lifelike wooden sculpture appeared in Li Changqing''s hands.


    It was a majestic tiger!


    About the size of a human head, the exquisite craftsmanship made the tiger seem alive.


    Its fierce eyes appeared to be staring at its prey.


    The "king" character on its forehead exuded an aura of dominance.


    The tiger crouched on a strange rock, poised to pounce and tear its prey apart, incredibly realistic!


    Li Changqing nodded in satisfaction.


    It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".


    He didn''t know why, but he felt as if he had lost track of time, experiencing a level of focus he hadn''t felt in a long time.


    Not only was he not tired, but he also felt more invigorated.


    "It seems my skills have improved," Li Changqing murmured to himself as he admired his work.


    "How should I price this?" Li Changqing pondered, rubbing his chin for a long time before deciding to price it at five silver coins.


    He wasn''t sure if it would sell.


    His son had it tough, and he couldn''t always rely on him for support. He wanted his son to focus on his cultivation in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land without worrying about him.


    The Changqing Painting Boat hadn''t opened for several days.


    The next morning, Li Changqing tidied up the shop, opened the door to air it out, and left the paintings hanging on the walls since it was still a painting boat.


    He couldn''t just display a single carving; that would look too shabby.


    Even though the paintings weren''t great, if someone wanted to buy them, he''d sell them for whatever he could get.


    Every little bit helps.


    He placed the carved tiger on a shelf in the shop.


    Then, Li Changqing could only wait idly for customers to arrive.


    But from morning until night, not a single soul appeared.


    The location was remote, and everyone knew Li Changqing''s skill level.


    His mediocre paintings were a loss to anyone who bought them.


    Naturally, no one visited.


    Three days passed without a single customer.


    This made Li Changqing anxious. He needed to think of a way to attract customers.


    After lunch, Li Changqing planned to take a nap, but just then, a figure appeared at the entrance of the Changqing Painting Boat.


    A young boy, about thirteen or fourteen, peeked inside.


    He had a somewhat gloomy look, and his clothes indicated he was from a wealthy or noble family.


    "Welcome, feel free to look around," Li Changqing quickly greeted him.


    Even if he was just a boy, he was still a customer.


    "You don''t recognize me?" the boy suddenly asked.


    "Does it matter if I know you? In my shop, you''re my guest. Why should we have met before?" Li Changqing replied casually. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Why should we have met before?" The boy was taken aback; the words intrigued him.


    He was from the Yan Family in Changting Town, one of the top families with immense power, known by all.


    And he, Yan Yushi, was the son of the Yan Family''s patriarch, Yan Botao.


    Who in Changting Town didn''t know him?


    Unfortunately, Li Changqing didn''t.


    Despite being Yan Botao''s son, with a prestigious background and a powerful family, Yan Yushi struggled greatly with cultivation.


    The family had purchased many paintings from painters for Yan Yushi.


    But Yan Yushi''s visualization never reached a state of enlightenment, let alone finding his own path in cultivation.


    Three years had passed.


    The elders of the Yan Family began suggesting that Yan Botao choose a new successor for the family.


    Initially, Yan Botao could refuse, but as time went on and Yan Yushi showed no progress, even Yan Botao was struggling to withstand the pressure from the elders.


    Today, after hearing some snide remarks from others in the family, Yan Yushi, still a young boy, couldn''t bear it.


    So he decided to go out for a walk to clear his mind.


    Lost in thought, he unknowingly wandered to the deepest part of Qingyun Square, arriving at the entrance of the Changqing Painting Boat.


    Thus, Yan Yushi decided to step inside. He had heard of a painter named Li Changqing in Changting Town, but his paintings were said to be mediocre. Today, he wanted to see for himself.

 Chapter 004 – Art enthusiast

    Yan Yushi strolled through the shop, glancing at the paintings hanging on the walls around him.


    Almost all the paintings depicted various weapons or beasts.


    However, the weapons lacked any spirit, and the beasts were poorly drawn, devoid of any vitality. Yan Yushi wasn''t disappointed, as he hadn''t expected much to begin with.


    He was merely here to pass the time.


    The paintings here were far inferior to those the Yan Family had purchased at high prices, not even in the same league.


    In his view, Li Changqing hadn''t even reached the threshold of being a painter.


    These works were rubbish, incapable of leading anyone to enlightenment.


    Let alone someone like him, who found enlightenment difficult to achieve.


    Shaking his head lightly, Yan Yushi decided not to waste any more time here. Just as he was about to leave, something on a shelf caught his eye.


    "What is that?" Yan Yushi walked over, astonished.


    A lifelike tiger!


    Yan Yushi felt as if he were deeply drawn to something, step by step approaching the wooden sculpture.


    He stood there, stunned.


    This was the first time Yan Yushi had seen such a thing!


    He didn''t know what it was, but the impact of this tiger was far stronger than any painting!


    At that moment, in Yan Yushi''s eyes, the tiger seemed to come alive!


    He could even hear the roar of the tiger echoing through the mountains.


    Resounding through the sky, shaking his ears!


    The sound reverberated continuously, shaking his spirit, making Yan Yushi feel an immense pressure.


    How could this be!


    How could this thing possess such power?


    Yan Yushi had a strong premonition that if he meditated on this object, he would definitely have a chance to achieve enlightenment.


    To step onto the path of cultivation.


    Could such a small shop actually have such a treasure?


    "Do you like my wood carving?" At this moment, Li Changqing approached, seeing Yan Yushi staring at his wood carving for a long time, thinking he might have a chance to sell it.


    "Wood carving? Is this called a wood carving?" Yan Yushi didn''t know how to describe it, as if any words of praise in the world seemed dull at this moment!


    This thing truly amazed him.


    Yan Yushi''s tone immediately became respectful, clasping his hands in a salute to Li Changqing, "Senior, I was just being reckless."


    "Huh?" Li Changqing was taken aback. What was this about?


    When was he reckless?


    At this moment, in Yan Yushi''s eyes, Li Changqing seemed to become mysterious and unfathomable. This wood carving was made by him, and it was probably more impressive than the painters hired by the Yan Family!

    "Senior, is this wood carving for sale?" Yan Yushi asked nervously, fearing that such a treasure couldn''t possibly be sold.


    But Yan Yushi really wanted it.


    He felt this wood carving was his hope.


    With this, he would surely achieve enlightenment and step onto the path of cultivation.


    By then, he would still be the young master of the Yan Family!


    "This..." Li Changqing was about to say the wood carving was indeed for sale, but before he could finish, Yan Yushi, being impatient, knelt before him with a thud.


    "Please, Senior, grant my wish!" Yan Yushi said expectantly.


    Was it really necessary?


    Did he like this wood carving that much?


    Li Changqing could hardly believe it; Yan Yushi was such an art enthusiast!


    "It''s for sale," Li Changqing quickly said, "Get up."

    "Thank you, Senior!" Yan Yushi was overjoyed.


    "How much is this wood carving?" Yan Yushi quickly asked.


    Li Changqing stuck to his previous pricing, holding up five fingers.


    Five taels of silver.


    If Yan Yushi thought it was too expensive, Li Changqing''s bottom line was three taels of silver.


    Any lower wouldn''t do.


    Seeing Li Changqing hold up five fingers, Yan Yushi didn''t hesitate, pulling out a silver ticket from his sleeve and slapping it onto the table, "I''ll take it."


    Without waiting for Li Changqing to react, Yan Yushi hugged the wood carving to his chest and ran out, fearing Li Changqing might change his mind.


    "In such a hurry?"


    "Five taels of silver with a silver ticket?" Li Changqing picked up the silver ticket and was stunned.


    Five thousand taels.


    It was actually a silver ticket for five thousand taels.


    "Damn." A curse slipped out, and Li Changqing''s first thought was that the silver ticket was fake; otherwise, why would Yan Yushi run so fast?


    But after examining it carefully several times, Li Changqing couldn''t see anything fake about the silver ticket.


    It seemed genuine.


    Li Changqing slumped into a chair, feeling a bit lost.


    A wood carving sold for five thousand taels?


    This wasn''t just an art enthusiast; this was madness!


    He knew very well the purchasing power of five thousand taels in this world.


    For ordinary people, they couldn''t earn that much in a lifetime.


    His son, a disciple of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, probably only earned a little over a hundred taels a month. Who was this person, so wealthy?


    Wealthy and foolish.


    Could he retire after this one deal?


    "Wait." Li Changqing calmed down from his excitement, realizing that the person was just a child. He didn''t know why he had so much money.


    But five thousand taels, even for some noble families, wasn''t a small amount.


    If the family found out a child spent five thousand taels on a wood carving, they might come to claim it back, right?


    If he didn''t return it, wouldn''t they skin him alive?


    This mysterious world wasn''t a place where reason prevailed; might made right.


    "Sigh." Li Changqing looked at the silver ticket in his hand and sighed. He decided to wait and see. If someone came to claim it, he would return it.


    If no one came...


    Then he''d see.


    Yan Family.


    In the evening.


    "Husband, have you really made up your mind?" Inside the room, a woman dressed in luxurious attire pleaded with the man in front of her, her face filled with anguish.


    The man was none other than Yan Botao, the current head of the Yan Family.


    His face showed no emotion, only determination in his eyes.


    "I''ve decided, Ying''er. Although I''m the head of the Yan Family, it''s not up to me alone." Yan Botao said calmly, "Yushi will be fifteen next year, and he hasn''t even stepped into the realm of shedding mortality, unable to achieve enlightenment. He won''t be able to lead the Yan Family in the future, so I have no choice but to make this decision."


    "But this is too cruel for Yushi." The woman looked heartbroken.


    "He''s not young anymore. Some things, he has to bear sooner or later." Yan Botao sighed, "If only Yuyun were a boy, she could inherit the Yan Family, and we wouldn''t be in this situation."


    With that, Yan Botao stepped forward and opened the door.


    In the courtyard outside, six figures were already waiting.


    All six fixed their gaze on Yan Botao.


    "Patriarch, have you made up your mind?" A man in a blue robe stepped forward respectfully, "If not, we will continue to wait."


    "Let''s go." Yan Botao''s cold gaze swept over them, "We need to find Yushi and tell him face to face that he will be stripped of his position as young master."

 Chapter 005 – My son has the grace of the Prenatal Realm

    The six people''s eyes lit up as Yan Botao finally made a decision!


    They had no other choice. They had watched Yan Yushi grow up and were quite fond of him, but Yan Yushi had never been able to enter the path of cultivation.


    Over the years, the Yan Family had invested a lot of resources in training him, but to no avail.


    They could only choose another member of the Yan Family.


    Yan Botao had three adopted sons, raised from a young age, and the strongest among them had already stepped into the postnatal realm.


    He was the first choice for the new young clan leader.


    Between Yan Yushi and the Yan Family, they could only choose the Yan Family.


    Throughout the journey, Yan Botao''s mood was heavy. He knew how much effort Yan Yushi had put in, and he had seen it all. sea??h th§× n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    He also knew how much criticism Yan Yushi had endured over the years because of his status as the young clan leader.


    But he never gave up, and now it was he, as a father, who had to give up.


    However, just as Yan Botao and the others arrived outside Yan Yushi''s small courtyard, the seven of them suddenly changed their expressions.


    An astonishing aura erupted from Yan Yushi''s courtyard!


    A fierce wind arose, blowing the courtyard door open, and at the same time, a tiger''s roar echoed through the air, resonating like a great bell, making their clothes flutter.


    "What is this..." The group was particularly shocked.


    "It''s the presence of a tiger." Yan Botao couldn''t help but laugh heartily, the gloom in his eyes vanishing as he excitedly looked ahead, "It''s Yushi, he''s comprehended the Dao!"


    "The momentum is so astonishing, this tiger''s presence is enough for Yushi to reach the pinnacle of the postnatal realm!" Another elder said excitedly.


    The pinnacle of the postnatal realm.


    Enough to support the Yan Family.


    However, before they could calm down from their excitement, a massive tiger shadow appeared in the void!


    The tiger shadow lay like a mountain between heaven and earth, its half-closed eyes slowly opening, the aura of a beast king sweeping across the land, causing everyone present to tremble in their hearts!


    For a moment, the seven were dumbfounded.


    They could hardly believe what they were seeing.


    The tiger''s body shook the heavens.


    Every whisker of the tiger was clearly visible, and the overwhelming aura made their hair stand on end, as if they were prey being watched by a fierce beast, even their blood seemed to freeze.


    The sense of oppression was too strong!


    "Manifestation of intent..." The elders were completely stunned, their jaws dropping in shock at the scene before them.


    Yan Botao was the same.


    The manifestation of intent, they knew what it represented.


    It was a sign of hope to step into the prenatal realm!


    At this moment, their minds were in a daze.


    Whose artwork had Yan Yushi comprehended?


    How could he perceive the path to the prenatal realm?


    Although the Yan Family was a prominent local family, only the Yan Family''s ancestor had entered the prenatal realm, and since then, no one else had.


    Now, Yan Yushi, who had never been able to cultivate, had the potential for the prenatal realm?


    How could they dare to believe it?


    It required not only Yan Yushi''s own talent but also an extremely high level of artwork to comprehend the Dao. Did the Yan Family really have such a piece?


    What was going on?


    "My son Yushi has the potential for the prenatal realm!" Yan Botao was extremely excited at this moment. With this, who else could be the future clan leader of the Yan Family?


    Who would dare to object?


    The future Yan Yushi could rival the family''s ancestor!


    And just then, the giant tiger shadow in the sky began to slowly retract, transforming into a mass of energy that shrank back into the room.


    At the same time, the door opened, and Yan Yushi walked out from inside!


    Although Yan Yushi had not yet cultivated, the tiger''s presence around him had not dissipated, his clothes fluttering without wind. More importantly, above Yan Yushi''s head floated a wooden carving, exuding a murderous aura!


    It made people feel an indescribable sense of oppression, as if truly facing a fierce tiger.


    "What is that thing!"


    Everyone stared at the wooden carving floating above his head, showing expressions of surprise. At this moment, Yan Yushi had just entered the Dao, shouldn''t he be accompanied by a painting?


    Why was it a strange object?


    "Father, uncles." Yan Yushi stepped forward and respectfully bowed, but the excitement on his face was hard to conceal.


    "Yushi, you''ve entered the Dao?" Yan Botao, despite having seen it, couldn''t help but ask excitedly.


    "I did not fail my mission!" Yan Yushi''s voice was also full of excitement.


    However, everyone''s eyes were now on the wooden carving.


    What was it?


    Why did it emit an aura stronger than some top-grade paintings?


    Even Yan Botao''s gaze fell on the wooden carving.


    It seemed both real and illusory, making it feel extraordinary!


    Such a treasure, where did Yan Yushi get it from?


    "Yushi, where did you get this?" A red-robed elder stepped forward, looking seriously at the wooden carving.


    "This..." Yan Yushi reached out, and the wooden carving fell into his hand. He then recounted the events of the day to everyone.


    "Li Changqing from the Changqing Painting Boat?" They were all shocked upon hearing the name.


    "Rumor has it that Li Changqing is just an unsuccessful painter, where did he get such a treasure? He calls this a wooden carving?" An elder examined the wooden carving, finding it more shocking than any painting they had encountered.


    "Could it be that Li Changqing is a hidden master?" Yan Botao glanced at everyone.


    They looked at each other, unsure.


    Because they had never seen such a thing, such exquisite craftsmanship was not something an ordinary person could create.


    "Yushi, you were a bit reckless today." Yan Botao looked at Yan Yushi.


    "Yes, you left five thousand taels and took the item." Another elder said, "Such a treasure, capable of helping you break through to the prenatal realm, five thousand taels? You couldn''t even buy a painting that could lead to the postnatal realm."


    "If this truly came from Li Changqing..." Yan Botao looked seriously at Yan Yushi, "Tomorrow, accompany me to apologize, and we must show Li Changqing the Yan Family''s attitude, and also probe the truth."


    "Yes." Yan Yushi also felt he had been reckless today.


    The next morning.


    After getting up, Li Changqing made himself a bowl of noodles, then found a sunny spot to sit down, holding a piece of wood in his hand, and began a new carving.


    The only wooden carving in the shop had been bought by Yan Yushi, so he needed to make some new items.


    As for the previous shabby paintings hanging around, Li Changqing had taken them down and put them away, as they were indeed quite poor and affected his mood.


    Just as he was thinking of carving a roc bird today, having just started the outline, he heard footsteps approaching from afar.


    For the full version, visit [ ].


    Looking up, he saw the Yan Family approaching.


    "Sir, we meet again." Yan Yushi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.


    If it weren''t for Li Changqing, how could he have entered the Dao?


    So this respect was genuine!


    "I knew you would come today." Li Changqing smiled, glancing at Yan Botao and the others behind him, then stood up and walked into the shop, "Come in, all of you."


    Yan Botao and the others exchanged glances. Li Changqing had known they were coming?


    Truly unfathomable!

 Chapter 006 – Yan Familys Kindness

    Li Changqing naturally knew they were coming.


    The child from the family spent Five Thousand Taels of silver to buy a small wooden carving to play with, so the parents were bound to come and ask for a refund.


    Li Changqing had already prepared for this.


    He wasn''t surprised by Yan Yushi''s respectful demeanor. After all, when asking for a refund, one should maintain a good attitude.


    As they walked into the shop and saw its simple layout, no one said anything.


    When Li Changqing turned around to take out the Five Thousand Taels silver ticket from the cash box to return it, Yan Botao gave Yan Yushi a look.


    Thud!


    Yan Yushi knelt down on the spot.


    "Huh, what''s this about?" Li Changqing was startled by the sound. Asking for money didn''t require such a grand gesture.


    "Yesterday, I was ignorant and offended you, senior. Today, I''ve come to express my gratitude and apologize," Yan Yushi said firmly, then bowed his head again.


    "Huh?" Li Changqing was momentarily confused by Yan Yushi''s words.


    What gratitude and offense?


    "Senior, our Yan Family has come today to express our thanks and apologize for my son''s reckless behavior yesterday," Yan Botao said, stepping back with three elders and bowing respectfully.


    What''s going on?


    Li Changqing was puzzled. Were they not here to ask for money?


    Li Changqing had many thoughts but said nothing, choosing to observe. He didn''t take out the Five Thousand Taels silver ticket, instead placing it in his sleeve, and said calmly, "Please, have a seat. There''s no need for such formalities."


    "Thank you, senior." The group cupped their fists in salute and found chairs to sit on.


    Yan Yushi stood up and stood beside Yan Botao.


    Li Changqing remained silent, waiting for them to speak first. He wanted to know what was really happening.


    "Who would have thought that a small county like Changting would hide a master like you, senior," Yan Botao said, cupping his fists. "Yesterday, my son was mischievous and took such a precious item from you, which was wrong. Fortunately, you didn''t hold it against him."


    As he spoke, Yan Botao took out a box, which contained the tiger wood carving from yesterday.


    Li Changqing stared at the carving, guessing it had something to do with it, but he remained silent, smiling calmly and waiting for Yan Botao to continue.


    "Such a treasure is certainly worth more than a mere Five Thousand Taels. We intended to return this divine object, but yesterday my son used it to gain enlightenment, consuming a bit of its essence. Our Yan Family knows we''re at fault and have come to ask for your forgiveness," Yan Botao and the others stood up again, cupping their fists and bowing to Li Changqing.


    Li Changqing finally understood some of the reasons.


    But it also shocked him. His wood carving helped this kid gain enlightenment?


    Isn''t enlightenment supposed to require understanding paintings?


    Could it be that his wood carving also had such an ability?


    Yes, paintings and carvings are essentially the same category, and his carving is more realistic and three-dimensional, possibly offering more help in gaining enlightenment than ordinary paintings.


    It seems they weren''t here for money.


    "No need to be so formal," Li Changqing said calmly, suppressing his excitement. "This young man and I are fated. His ability to recognize the carving shows he has a connection with it. Fate cannot be forced; it arises naturally. It''s all his own fortune, and I merely went along with it."


    "We still must thank you, senior," Yan Yushi sincerely expressed his gratitude to Li Changqing. Without Li Changqing, he might not have retained his position as the young patriarch of the Yan Family.


    He would have become an ordinary person, living a mundane life.


    But Li Changqing changed his destiny.

    "Senior, we know this carving is invaluable, and Five Thousand Taels is a joke. So we offer this gift, hoping you will accept it. Though it may not be as precious as the carving, consider it a small token of our Yan Family''s appreciation," Yan Botao said, taking out a black lacquered box sealed with red wax from his sleeve.


    It looked quite valuable.


    An unexpected gain?


    How valuable was this carving?


    In his previous life, no one appreciated his wood carving art, and he was mocked online. But here, it became a prized possession.


    Was he about to reach the peak of his life?


    "What is this..." Li Changqing didn''t know what it was, but the box indicated it was something valuable.


    "This is a two-hundred-year-old blood ginseng," Yan Botao quickly explained. "It''s barely considered a treasure, but I hope you won''t disdain it, Senior Changqing." Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "In that case, I''ll accept it. Thank you for your thoughtfulness," Li Changqing naturally accepted the item.


    Although he couldn''t use it, Li Hengsheng certainly could.


    Li Hengsheng sent back so much of his monthly allowance; how could he afford resources for cultivation? Li Changqing felt a strange sense of pity for his son, whom he had never met, perhaps wanting to make up for the original father''s mistakes.


    So he didn''t plan to keep the Five Thousand Taels or the blood ginseng; he intended to send them to Li Hengsheng later.


    Seeing Li Changqing accept the gift, Yan Botao and the others were pleased. Li Changqing had accepted the Yan Family''s goodwill.


    Forming a connection with such a capable person was immensely beneficial to the Yan Family.


    If they could obtain more carvings from Li Changqing in the future, the Yan Family''s strength would undoubtedly improve significantly.


    But they weren''t in a hurry, fearing any requests might displease Li Changqing, so they decided to leave first.


    There was plenty of time.


    "Senior Changqing, we''ll take our leave for now. If you ever need anything from the Yan Family, please don''t hesitate to ask," Yan Botao said, placing a token on the table. "This is our Yan Family''s token. With it, you can come and go freely in our family."


    "Thank you," Li Changqing nodded calmly, maintaining his composure.


    Since he was regarded as a master, he needed to have the demeanor of one.


    Having read countless novels in his past life, Li Changqing understood this well.


    "Then we''ll take our leave," Yan Botao and the others said, cupping their fists.


    After seeing them off at the door, Li Changqing watched them leave. Just as he turned to go back, he saw the purple-clad messenger from before running over again.


    "Li Changqing, here''s your letter, sent from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land," the messenger said, handing a letter to Li Changqing.


    "Another letter?" Li Changqing was surprised. He had received a letter just a few days ago, and now another one had arrived.


    Could something have happened to his son?


    Thinking of this, Li Changqing quickly opened the letter.


    After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn''t that something had happened to Li Hengsheng; rather, Li Hengsheng was warning Li Changqing to be cautious lately.


    Because recently, ghost cultivators had been spotted in Minghong Prefecture.


    Initially relieved that Li Hengsheng was fine, Li Changqing''s heart suddenly skipped a beat.


    Wait, ghost cultivators?


    Are there really ghosts in this world?

 Chapter 007 – Ghost Cultivation Yan Dongchen

    This immediately made Li Changqing''s hair stand on end.


    Deep down, he had a kind of awe for ghosts and gods, so when he heard that there were ghosts, Li Changqing was a little scared for a while.


    Seeing the half-carved wooden sculpture in his hand, Li Changqing pondered for a while and decided not to continue carving, but instead found another piece of wood.


    Then he began to carve a new wooden sculpture with great seriousness.


    As he carved attentively, the blue mark on Li Changqing''s brow became more and more prominent, but Li Changqing himself didn''t even notice.


    His movements were skillful, and he used various tools with great proficiency.


    By the time evening came, a half-human-sized wooden sculpture had already appeared in Li Changqing''s hand.


    It had a lotus base, and on top sat a bald monk.


    The monk was dressed in a kasaya, holding a golden bowl in his right hand, and wearing a string of Buddhist beads around his neck. His eyes were tightly closed, exuding a kind of imposing aura without anger.


    "Phew." Li Changqing let out a long breath and wanted to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but when he wiped it with his hand, he found that there was no sweat at all. This surprised Li Changqing a bit. It seemed that his physical strength had improved a lot after crossing over.


    After wiping the Buddha statue clean, he placed it directly in the center of the painting boat.


    "Bless me, protect me from evil spirits." Li Changqing clasped his hands together and bowed to the Buddha statue before returning to his small courtyard.


    Li Changqing planned to have someone deliver the silver ticket and blood ginseng to his son Li Hengsheng tomorrow.


    The night was cool.


    A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.


    Dark clouds covered the bright moon, and the entire Changting Town seemed particularly quiet. Occasionally, the sound of patrolmen banging gongs could be heard on the streets.


    Outside Changting Town, a black light fell on it like a shooting star.


    But in the blink of an eye, the black light disappeared without a trace, as if nothing had appeared just now.


    After the black light disappeared, a figure appeared where the black light had just descended. The person was a middle-aged man, dressed in tattered Daoist robes, looking somewhat disheveled. His sharp eyes scanned the surroundings, and in the darkness of the night, his eyes were as sharp as a hawk.


    "Yan Dongchen, you can''t escape." The middle-aged Daoist spoke slowly. In the next moment, he flipped his palm, and golden light entwined his fingertips, forming a formation. He stared at the golden light, and within the golden light, nine squares and eight directions converged.


    "Is it here?" The middle-aged Daoist''s gaze turned towards the northwest.


    After speaking, his figure quickly turned into a golden light and flew away.


    "Damn Daoist, chasing me for two whole days and nights." Under the black light, the figure of a man with a blood-stained hooked nose appeared. His eyes flickered with killing intent.


    The places where he was bleeding made him particularly painful.


    "When I, Yan Dongchen, return to Yinshi Tower, I will definitely crush your Dao Mountain Ancient Land!" He muttered to himself, but the pain from his torn wounds distorted his expression.


    "If this continues, I definitely won''t be able to escape. I need to find someone to replenish my blood and qi." Yan Dongchen entered Minghong Prefecture. He originally wanted to act low-key and only find something, without harming anyone''s life to avoid attracting attention.


    But now he couldn''t avoid attracting attention anymore. If he didn''t refine some blood and qi, his injuries would only get worse. With his current body, he couldn''t escape from the people of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Yan Dongchen raised his head and found a shop behind him.


    "Changqing Painting Boat."


    "This is it." Yan Dongchen knew that the people from Dao Mountain Ancient Land would soon catch up to him, so he had to seize the time.


    He could sense the presence of someone inside the Changqing Painting Boat, so he directly pushed open the door and rushed in.


    Kill the people inside, refine their essence and blood to heal his injuries.


    But as soon as he rushed into the painting boat, Yan Dongchen suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis!


    This sense of crisis surpassed all the crises he had ever experienced in his life.


    It was as if he was in a desperate situation!


    What''s going on? What''s in this room?


    He was a strong person at the Innate Realm, how could he encounter such a terrifying crisis?


    Suddenly, he saw a huge wooden sculpture in the center of the painting boat.


    A wooden sculpture of a green lotus, the Buddha reigning supreme!


    At this moment, the Buddha suddenly opened its eyes, and within its eyes, boundless Buddhist teachings seemed to envelop the entire painting boat. An unparalleled power emanated from the Buddha, almost crushing Yan Dongchen on the spot with its Buddha light!


    "How is this possible!" Yan Dongchen''s face changed drastically. He had never felt such a terrifying Buddha light before!


    What on earth is this thing!


    How can it have such power!


    Even if it''s a spiritual treasure, it shouldn''t have such power, right?


    However, at this moment, a majestic voice emanated from the Buddha, shaking the surroundings like a great bell!


    "Bold evildoer, how dare you trespass into the painting boat! I will expose your true form!"


    "Great Dragon of Mighty Power! World-Honored Ksitigarbha, all the Buddhas of Prajna, Prajna Hum!"At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist who had just caught up to Li Changqing''s painting boat also felt this boundless power, and at the same time, the golden array in his hand collapsed instantly!


    "Dead?" The middle-aged Taoist''s face changed.


    Yan Dongchen was dead!


    He stared incredulously at the shop in front of him.


    Li Changqing''s painting boat.


    He had no idea what had happened inside, but he could feel an astonishing momentum that had just erupted from within. The strength of that momentum was something he could not contend with.


    Even Yan Dongchen, who had already stepped into the innate realm, was instantly killed.


    The middle-aged Taoist was filled with fear, his figure exploded backward, hurrying to distance himself from Li Changqing''s painting boat.


    Afraid that he might get involved later.


    "What exactly is that?" The middle-aged Taoist looked towards the direction of Li Changqing''s painting boat from afar, his heart still unable to calm down.


    With Yan Dongchen dead, the Buddha also returned to his original state, his eyes tightly closed, as if nothing had happened just now.


    Even Li Changqing was sound asleep, completely unaware of what had happened on the painting boat.


    The next morning, when Li Changqing woke up and came to the painting boat, he noticed that something seemed to have happened on the boat.


    Because on the ground, there were more than two thousand taels of silver tickets and a piece of iron plate.


    "What is this?" Li Changqing curiously picked up the items, then walked to the door, looked around, and found nothing.


    "Did someone rob the rich to help the poor in the middle of the night?" Li Changqing stroked his chin.


    Looking at the iron plate again, there was a big character written on it.


    Qi. S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just this one word, Li Changqing had no idea what it represented.


    "Li Changqing." At this moment, the man in purple came again, today was the day Li Changqing had asked him to come.


    These men in purple were from the Cangyuan Escort Bureau, responsible for delivering letters and escorting goods.


    They were spread throughout the entire Cangyuan Realm, with an astonishing background.


    "You said you wanted to send a letter to Dao Mountain Ancient Land, is it ready?" The man in purple asked.


    "It''s ready." Li Changqing took out a letter, the envelope was not yet sealed, Li Changqing put the two thousand taels of silver tickets he had just received and the previous five thousand taels into it.


    And that two hundred years old blood ginseng.


    "Is that all?" The man in purple looked at the items in front of him.


    "That''s all." Li Changqing casually threw the iron plate he had just received into the envelope, anyway, he didn''t know what it was, so he sent it to Li Hengsheng along with the rest.

 Chapter 008 – Wild guess

    The Yan family closed their doors to guests today.


    Many of the Yan family''s friends came, but they were all turned away, which made many people wonder what had happened to the Yan family.


    Could it be that some important person had arrived?


    At this moment, in the Yan family''s Yan Hong Pavilion, including Yan Botao and many elders, they all stood there respectfully, as if facing a very distinguished guest.


    "Please sit, sit. You''re all standing there, and it feels strange to me." Sitting in the center was the middle-aged Taoist who appeared in Changting Town last night. At this moment, he was casual, with one foot on a stool and a banana in his hand. He ate while speaking to everyone.


    "Yes, yes." Everyone echoed and quickly sat down.


    "We didn''t have any preparations for the arrival of Peak Master Mu Haifeng. We apologize for any inconvenience caused." Yan Botao said respectfully.


    In the morning, I heard that Mu Haifeng, one of the thirty-six Peak Masters of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, had arrived. This surprised Yan Botao.


    The Peak Masters of the thirty-six peaks of Dao Mountain Ancient Land had a distinguished status.


    And Yan Botao''s daughter, Yan Yuyun, was also a disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, so she naturally had to be well received.


    "There''s no need for preparations. I''m not that particular." The middle-aged Taoist casually threw the banana peel on the table and his expression became serious. "I came to Changting Town last night chasing after Yan Dongchen." sea??h th§× ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Yan Dongchen?" Everyone couldn''t help but sigh when they heard this name.


    Yan Dongchen''s reputation was quite loud.


    A powerful Ghost Cultivation expert, his cultivation had reached the Prenatal Realm. He was also famous in the Yin Ten Tower of Ghost Cultivation. However, the people of Yin Ten Tower had not appeared in Minghong Prefecture for a long time. Why did Yan Dongchen suddenly come to Minghong Prefecture? Could it be that he had set his sights on something in Minghong Prefecture?


    The people of Yin Ten Tower were despised by the world for grave robbing, but their whereabouts were mysterious and rarely caught.


    "It was just a coincidence." Mu Haifeng casually said, "But since Yan Dongchen appeared in Minghong Prefecture, he must have had ill intentions. We fought once, and I severely injured him. Unfortunately, this brat ran too fast. I chased him for two days and two nights before catching up to Changting Town."


    "I had already tracked his whereabouts, and last night I followed him and saw him enter a place in your Changting Town called Changqing Painting Studio." Mu Haifeng murmured.


    "Changqing Painting Studio!" Everyone was shocked.


    "Hmm?" Mu Haifeng looked at a few people in surprise. Their reaction was quite big.


    "Do you know anything about Changqing Painting Studio?" Mu Haifeng looked at everyone. From their reaction, it seemed that Changqing Painting Studio was not simple.


    "Peak Master Mu Haifeng, there is a master living in Changqing Painting Studio." Yan Botao respectfully said at this time.


    "A master?" Mu Haifeng murmured to himself, "No wonder."


    "But what happened afterwards?" an elder asked curiously.


    "After Yan Dongchen entered Changqing Painting Studio, he died." Mu Haifeng didn''t hide anything and said directly.


    "Died?" Several people were shocked. They knew that Li Changqing was extraordinary, but Yan Dongchen was in the Prenatal Realm. How could he die in Li Changqing''s hands without even a chance to escape?


    What did Li Changqing do?


    "Tell me about this master." Mu Haifeng also became interested in Li Changqing. He also wanted to know what kind of master could make Yan Dongchen, such a skilled expert of the Yin Ten Tower, die in Changqing Painting Studio without even a chance to escape.


    "Let me tell you." Yan Botao didn''t hide anything and explained Li Changqing''s situation.


    After listening to Yan Botao''s exaggerated description of Li Changqing, Mu Haifeng''s somewhat sloppy mood also calmed down.


    Carving a wooden sculpture could actually awaken one''s innate talent!


    You should know that a painter who can make people reach the Prenatal Realm is considered a Painting Sage.


    Is Li Changqing''s ability comparable to a Painting Sage?


    "Yan Dongchen has met his match." Mu Haifeng murmured, his eyes showing a hint of fear.


    Warriors cultivate their bodies, while painters cultivate their souls.


    Those who can reach the level of a Painting Sage have extremely powerful Divine Soul cultivation.


    However, Mu Haifeng did not expect that in this small Changting Town, within the scope of their Dao Mountain Ancient Land, there would be such a master. They had no knowledge of this at all.


    "By the way, Peak Master, although this senior Li Changqing is powerful, he is low-key and has been living here. Moreover, Li Changqing has a son, who is said to be a disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land." An elder stepped forward respectfully and said.


    This was some information they had gathered. When they learned that Li Changqing''s only son, Li Hengsheng, was also a disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, they were also surprised and couldn''t understand why Li Changqing, who was so powerful, would send his son to Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    "In Dao Mountain Ancient Land?" Mu Haifeng was also surprised and couldn''t help but ask, "What is the name of this senior''s son?"


    "Replying to Peak Master, the son of Senior Changqing is named Li Hengsheng." Yan Botao quickly replied.


    "Li Hengsheng?" Mu Haifeng frowned and tried hard to recall this name, but after thinking for a long time and going through all the names of the elite disciples he had heard of in the thirty-six peaks, he couldn''t find a match.


    "A mysterious master living in this Changting Town, and his son is unknown in our Dao Mountain Ancient Land." Mu Haifeng furrowed his brow for a moment.


    What is going on?


    This person is so low-key in Dao Mountain Ancient Land, and he sent his son to Dao Mountain Ancient Land. What is his purpose?


    Could it be that he is an old acquaintance of Dao Mountain Ancient Land?


    For a moment, Mu Haifeng couldn''t think straight. He felt that such an important matter had to be reported to the sect master in the ancient land.Thinking of this, Peak Master Mu Haifeng didn''t linger any longer, preparing to quickly return to Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Two days later.


    Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters.


    The entire Dao Mountain Ancient Land had thirty-six Peak Masters, but there were thirty-seven peaks.


    This was because the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters was entirely inhabited by the miscellaneous disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    These miscellaneous disciples didn''t have extraordinary talents, nor did they have illustrious backgrounds. They didn''t have a large family to provide them with the treasures needed for cultivation, so they could only practice diligently in silence.


    Just reaching the threshold of entering the Dao, they could become miscellaneous disciples in Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    If they had the hope of shedding their mortal bodies and entering the Postnatal Realm in the future, only then would they have the possibility of entering the thirty-six peaks and becoming outer disciples.


    However, the hope was slim. The Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters was incredibly vast, with thousands of disciples, but every year after the assessment, the number of people who could become outer disciples was only a handful.


    In the rugged mountains, due to the recent rain, the mountain road was somewhat muddy.


    A young boy was carefully walking down the mountain road with two large bundles of firewood on his back. His bare feet were covered in mud.


    The two large bundles of firewood weighed about forty pounds, but the boy was only slightly out of breath.


    "Brother Li." At this moment, a silver bell-like voice came, making the boy''s eyes light up.


    Looking up, he saw a young girl smiling at him.


    The girl was dressed in plain clothes, but it couldn''t hide her adorable temperament. Her baby face had a pair of sparkling big eyes, with curved eyelashes, looking like the girl next door.


    "Sister Lu, what are you doing here?" Li Hengsheng asked with a smile.


    "I just came back from the Communication Pavilion and saw your package, so I brought it back for you." The girl said.

 Chapter 009 – A token

    "My package?" Li Hengsheng looked surprised, then quickly put down the two bundles of firewood on his body and took the package from Lu Qiaoqiao''s hand. It was slightly heavy.


    He sat down on a stone by the roadside, and when he saw Li Changqing''s name written on the package, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes. But immediately after, Li Hengsheng forced a bitter smile and hesitated to open it.


    "Brother Li, why don''t you open it?" Lu Qiaoqiao sat down beside Li Hengsheng and smiled. "You used to complain that your father didn''t even reply to your letters. Now that he has sent you a letter, you''re frowning." S§×ar?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Hearing this, Li Hengsheng could only force a bitter smile and sighed, "My father is obsessed with painting, but he doesn''t have the talent for it. Before, because I sent back less money, he asked me several times to send more, but I also need to live, so I ignored it. As a result, he hasn''t written to me for over half a year."


    Lu Qiaoqiao listened quietly without interrupting. She naturally knew the hardships of this young man in front of her.


    As a miscellaneous disciple, she also knew that Li Hengsheng could only receive a little over a hundred silver coins of cultivation resources from the sect every month, and he had to send half of it back to his bottomless pit of a father.


    In the two years since entering the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, her cultivation had already reached the Transcendence Realm''s seventh level, but Li Hengsheng was still at the third level.


    The lack of resources led to slow progress for Li Hengsheng.


    As a result, Li Hengsheng had become a laughingstock on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters and was often bullied.


    Sometimes, Lu Qiaoqiao wanted to share her resources with Li Hengsheng, but he always refused.


    This made Lu Qiaoqiao admire and pity Li Hengsheng at the same time.


    She always remembered when she first arrived at the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, it was Li Hengsheng who helped her through the most difficult period. He also helped her with many things that she couldn''t finish. But in the end, she couldn''t help him with anything.


    "My father suddenly wrote to me, and I feel a little uneasy." Li Hengsheng looked at the package in his hand and hesitated to open it.


    "Open it and take a look. I''m here with you. Whatever it is, we''ll face it together." Lu Qiaoqiao sat beside Li Hengsheng and spoke softly, her voice gentle.


    This sentence made Li Hengsheng blush suddenly, and he didn''t dare to look into Lu Qiaoqiao''s eyes.


    Li Hengsheng genuinely liked his junior sister Lu. He fell in love with this lovely girl at first sight.


    But Li Hengsheng didn''t dare to say it. He felt somewhat inferior in his heart. With a bottomless pit of a father and no support from his family, he had no talent either.


    Although Lu Qiaoqiao was not from a prominent family and didn''t have any particularly distinguished identity, her family still had some abilities. Lu Qiaoqiao also had good aptitude. In another year or two, she had a good chance of surpassing the Transcendence Realm and becoming an outer disciple.


    From any perspective, he was not worthy of her.


    So Li Hengsheng remained silent, just blushing and bowing his head, tearing open the outer layer of the package, wanting to see what was inside.


    "Hmm?"


    Looking at a box and a letter inside, Li Hengsheng was surprised. This was the first time Li Changqing had sent him something.


    Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.


    Without looking at the box, Li Hengsheng opened the envelope to see what was written inside.


    As soon as the envelope was opened, something slid out and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, as if it was the sound of metal.


    "What is this?" Lu Qiaoqiao picked up the piece of metal and found a ''Qi'' character written on it. The metal piece seemed to have a sense of age, with very mysterious patterns engraved on it. At first glance, it had an artistic atmosphere.


    But Li Hengsheng didn''t pay any attention to the metal piece at all. He was shocked by the silver ticket taken out of the envelope!


    A total of seven thousand taels!


    Li Hengsheng could hardly believe his eyes. Where did so much money come from?


    Even Lu Qiaoqiao was stunned when she saw so many silver tickets. Among all the disciples on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters, it was probably impossible to find someone with so much money.


    "Your father sent you money." Lu Qiaoqiao''s eyes lit up, and she started to feel happy for Li Hengsheng.


    Li Hengsheng opened the letter. There were only a few sentences in the letter, telling him to focus on cultivation. His father had made progress in painting, so he no longer needed to send money home. The seven thousand taels of silver tickets and the Blood Ginseng were for his cultivation, hoping he would succeed soon.


    Li Changqing didn''t dare to say too much, fearing exposure. Even the handwriting was imitated from the original host''s handwriting.


    Li Hengsheng was dumbfounded.


    He could hardly believe it was true.


    "Brother Li, quickly put away the things and don''t let anyone see." Seeing Li Hengsheng in a daze, Lu Qiaoqiao quickly reminded him.


    Seven thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. If anyone on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters found out, it would be a big deal.


    Wealth and treasure will attract disaster.


    "Oh, oh." Li Hengsheng also realized the problem and quickly looked around, then put away the silver tickets.


    "Brother Li, there''s also this." Lu Qiaoqiao quickly handed the iron token in her hand to Li Hengsheng.


    "What is this?" Li Hengsheng looked at the object, not knowing what it was.


    "I don''t know either. It fell out of your package. It looks pretty though." Lu Qiaoqiao handed it over."I don''t know what this thing is, but if Junior Sister Lu likes it, I''ll give it to you," Li Hengsheng said with a smile.


    Upon hearing this, Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly teased, "Is this a token from Brother Li to me?"


    "Huh?" Li Hengsheng was somewhat flustered. A token? Was it almost like a love token?


    "I..." Li Hengsheng didn''t know what to say for a moment, so he said, "What kind of token is this? It''s just a piece of broken iron. Tomorrow, I''ll go to the Hundred Treasures Peak and buy a beautiful jade pendant for you..."


    Seeing Li Hengsheng''s nervous look, Lu Qiaoqiao chuckled, her eyes curving like crescent moons.


    "Alright, Brother Li, I was just joking with you. Don''t go buying things randomly. Focus on your cultivation and improving your strength. If Brother Li really wants to give me something, this iron plaque will do. I really like the pattern on it." Lu Qiaoqiao took the iron plaque and waved it in front of Li Hengsheng.


    "I wonder if Brother Li is willing to part with it," Lu Qiaoqiao asked with a smile.


    "If Junior Sister Lu likes it, then take it," Li Hengsheng quickly replied.


    "Then thank you, Brother Li." Lu Qiaoqiao carefully put away the iron plaque. She didn''t know what it was for, but she liked it because it was from Li Hengsheng.


    "Junior Sister, I have to go deliver the firewood now," Li Hengsheng quickly got up and picked up the two bundles of firewood. If he delivered them late, he would be scolded by the other senior brothers.


    "Alright, Brother Li, you should go quickly," Lu Qiaoqiao hurriedly said.


    Meanwhile, on Dao Yuan Peak, the figure of Peak Master Mu Haifeng appeared. He had just returned to Dao Mountain Ancient Land and rushed to Dao Yuan Peak to see the Sect Master.


    It was not only because of Li Changqing''s matter, but also because he had discovered traces of Ghost Cultivation on his way back. This made Peak Master Mu Haifeng feel somewhat uneasy.

 Chapter 010 – Qishan Order

    On the peak of Dao Yuan Peak, a vast sea of flowers sits here. It is rumored that there are thousands of different flowers here, all brought from various places by Luo Xiaochuan, the master of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Each flower is vibrant and colorful, as if dyeing the entire world with a brilliant hue.


    In the sea of flowers, a stone path cuts through.


    At the end of this path is a bamboo forest. Luo Xiaochuan usually resides in the bamboo forest, and outside the bamboo forest, there are several stone turtle statues, each with a different form and inscribed with many unreadable characters.


    Just as Mu Haifeng, the Peak Master, arrived here, he noticed a person walking out of the bamboo forest.


    The person was dressed in white and appeared to be in his forties. His starry eyes seemed to be filled with supreme sword intent, and his extraordinary demeanor was mixed with a hint of coldness, making him a handsome man.


    "Vice Sect Master." Seeing the person, Mu Haifeng respectfully greeted him with clasped fists.


    "Xu Muhai?" The person calmly said after seeing Mu Haifeng, "Looking for the Sect Master?"


    "Yes, I have important matters to report to the Sect Master." Xu Muhai nodded.


    Seeing Xu Muhai, who usually acted carefree, being so serious, the man in white also nodded and said, "The Sect Master is not in the sect at the moment. If you''re willing, you can tell me."


    Saying that, the man in white sat down on a nearby stone.


    Xu Muhai pondered for a moment and then recounted the two matters.


    The man in white remained unchanged throughout, and only after Xu Muhai finished speaking did he speak, "Li Changqing has not shown any hostility, and I have never heard of this person''s name. Just keep an eye on him, and when necessary, show some goodwill."


    "It''s only beneficial for Dao Mountain Ancient Land to befriend such a powerful person."


    After speaking, the man in white''s gaze became slightly sharp, "Regarding the matter of the Ghost Clan, instruct the disciples outside to pay close attention. If there is nothing major, the Ghost Cultivation wouldn''t make such a big fuss. Yan Dongchen is just a small pawn, there must be bigger fish behind him. If there is anything, report back to the sect, I will handle everything."


    "With your words, Vice Sect Master, I can rest assured. These Ghost Cultivators dare to cause trouble in our Dao Mountain Ancient Land, they are truly tired of living." Xu Muhai laughed and said, "Then I will take my leave."


    Xu Muhai had no doubts about what the man in white said.


    Nor did he think he was bragging.


    Xue Qianbai, the Vice Sect Master of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, was known as the ''Qianxue Sword Sovereign''.


    This title was not just an empty name. If there were really Ghost Cultivators causing trouble within the range of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, those who could leave alive after facing Qianxue Sword Sovereign''s sword would be few and far between in the entire world.


    After returning to his own Mu Hai Peak, Xu Muhai instructed his disciples to spread the news and pay attention to the movements of the Ghost Cultivators. Sear?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    At the same time, Xu Muhai did not forget to send people to the other thirty-five peaks to search for Li Hengsheng, his disciple.


    However, after several days, the disciples who went to the other thirty-five peaks all came back and reported that there was no one named Li Hengsheng.


    This surprised Xu Muhai.


    The Yan family had previously said that Li Changqing''s son, Li Hengsheng, had run away from home three years ago and joined Dao Mountain Ancient Land. But how come there was no disciple named Li Hengsheng in all thirty-six peaks?


    Could it be that Li Hengsheng never came?


    And with Li Changqing''s strength, his son''s aptitude must be excellent as well. After three years, even if he didn''t join the inner sect, he should have become an outstanding figure in the outer sect.


    What exactly is going on?


    Find the original at "pawread dot com".


    In just a few days, Li Hengsheng had already entered a state of cultivation.


    He had never had such abundant resources for cultivation before.


    In the past, he had to send half of his meager monthly earnings back to Li Changqing, and the remaining money was not enough to buy any cultivation resources. He could only buy some medicinal herbs that were about to lose their efficacy to aid his cultivation.


    The effect was minimal, which resulted in Li Hengsheng''s cultivation progress being extremely slow.


    But this time was different. With money in hand, Li Hengsheng spared no expense and bought the resources he could only drool over before. He even hired people to do the work he used to do every day, allowing himself to focus solely on cultivation.


    He had fallen behind too much, and he wanted to make up for it.


    To surpass the Transcendence Realm as soon as possible, then enter the outer sect, join one of the thirty-six peaks, and become a true disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Transcendence was a process of improving one''s body, strength, bones, organs, blood, and overall transformation, surpassing ordinary mortals. This was a very important process, and only by truly transcending could one step into the realm of acquired cultivation.


    "It''s been several days since I last saw Senior Brother."


    Not far from where Li Hengsheng lived, Lu Qiaoqiao gazed at the place. Since that day, she hadn''t seen Li Hengsheng.


    She knew that Li Hengsheng was in seclusion, and she was happy for him to have resources for cultivation. However, not seeing Li Hengsheng for several days made Lu Qiaoqiao feel a bit lost.


    Taking out a handkerchief from her bosom, Lu Qiaoqiao carefully unfolded it. Wrapped in the middle of the handkerchief was the iron token that she didn''t know what it was. Lu Qiaoqiao had a faint smile on her face. This was the first thing Li Hengsheng had ever given her.


    Although she didn''t know what it was, and it didn''t look valuable, Lu Qiaoqiao still cherished it.


    But at the same time, Lu Qiaoqiao was also curious. The material of this token was very special. It didn''t seem like iron, as iron wouldn''t be this heavy, but it also didn''t seem like any other material. Lu Qiaoqiao had never seen such a unique material before.Gently rubbing the edges of the token with her fingers, she felt a prickling sensation, as if the material was unusually sharp.


    "Sister Lu!"


    Just then, a voice suddenly appeared, and a palm directly slapped onto Lu Qiaoqiao''s shoulder, startling her!


    With a tremble of her palm, her finger was actually cut by the token in her hand.


    "Ah!" Lu Qiaoqiao cried out in pain.


    The painful cry from Lu Qiaoqiao startled the person who had slapped her. The person was also a young girl named Xu Yueyue, who had a good relationship with Lu Qiaoqiao on normal days. She had just seen Lu Qiaoqiao in a daze here and wanted to scare her a little.


    Seeing Lu Qiaoqiao''s finger bleeding, Xu Yueyue was also startled.


    "I''m sorry, I''m sorry, Qiaoqiao, I didn''t mean to, stop the bleeding quickly." Xu Yueyue hurriedly took out her handkerchief and wrapped it around Lu Qiaoqiao''s finger.


    But Lu Qiaoqiao didn''t care about these, she looked at the token, hoping it wouldn''t be stained with blood. But to Lu Qiaoqiao''s surprise, there was not a single trace of her blood on the token.


    What Lu Qiaoqiao didn''t know was that her blood had been completely absorbed by the token.


    Meanwhile, in Minghong Prefecture, several people in the dark suddenly changed their expressions.


    "The Qishan Order has been refined." In an abandoned ancient temple, a ragged man sat on a dirty stone platform. His hair was messy, and his eyes were covered with thick cloth, as if he couldn''t see the prosperity of the world.


    As soon as these words came out, the several figures standing in front of him also changed their expressions.


    The Qishan Order has been refined?


    Could it be that someone had made a move before them?


    "Who is it, could it be someone from the Yin Tenth Floor?" A Ghost Cultivation powerhouse said incredulously.

 Chapter 011 – Cong Yun Niang and the Blind Man

    "No way."


    This novel is available on "pawread dot com".


    The blind man said calmly, "The position of the Qishan Order is in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land. It is impossible for the Yin Ten Tower to enter the Dao Mountain Ancient Land and obtain the Qishan Order without anyone noticing."


    "Our people have been keeping an eye on the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, and there has been no movement."


    "How could it have been refined by someone?" Several people clearly found it hard to believe.


    "Perhaps it was refined by a human." The blind man said slowly, "This is also a possibility. The requirements for refining the Qishan Order are not high. It only needs to be integrated into the blood. It''s possible that it was coincidentally refined by a human."


    "This..." Everyone looked at each other. They had come all the way to Minghong Prefecture at great risk just for the Qishan Order, but now it had been refined by someone?


    Just as they were speaking, a little sparrow flew in flapping its wings. The blind man reached out his hand, and the sparrow obediently landed on his palm.


    The sparrow chirped a few times, and the blind man nodded. He raised his hand, and the sparrow flew away.


    "Elder, what''s the situation?" someone quickly asked.


    "Disciple of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Lu Qiaoqiao." The blind man stood up slowly at this moment. "The Qishan Order has already been refined by this person."


    "What should we do now?" The people below all showed a difficult expression.


    "Now that the Qishan Order has been refined by this person, we just need to bring Lu Qiaoqiao back to our Star of Destiny Hall." The blind man said to the crowd, "Although things have turned out differently from what we expected, they are not unsolvable. As long as the Qishan Order is in our hands, it''s fine."


    "Yes." The eyes of the crowd lit up. Since the Qishan Order had been refined by Lu Qiaoqiao, it would be the same to bring her back.


    "Besides us, the other ghost cultivators have probably already noticed that the Qishan Order has been refined. They might have the same idea as us." Another ghost cultivator who had been silent all along said, "If we want to take Lu Qiaoqiao away from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, it might be a bit difficult."


    "Especially the Yin Ten Tower." One of the ghost cultivators'' eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness. "They have always been despicable in their actions. They might take action soon. The scout reported that the person from the Yin Ten Tower is Cong Yunniang. She might already be preparing to snatch someone away."


    "Cong Yunniang is troublesome, but if she wants to snatch someone from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, she is overestimating herself." The blind man sneered, "Although Luo Xiaochuan is not in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Xue Qianbai is still there. If Cong Yunniang wants to snatch someone from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, she better be prepared to die."


    When they heard Xue Qianbai''s name, everyone present felt a heavy pressure.


    Qianxue Sword Sovereign.


    Once, the Qianxue Sword had penetrated deep into the Cloud Wilderness, killing the ghosts and gods, and no race dared to come out.


    So when this name was mentioned, everyone present felt a chill.


    They would never dare to enter the Dao Mountain Ancient Land to snatch someone.


    Not to mention Xue Qianbai, even if any of the thirty-six Peak Masters were taken out, they would all be top experts.


    "Let''s wait for an opportunity." The crowd could only give up. The blind man sat back down, and his whole person returned to calmness.


    Minghong Prefecture, the City of No Regrets.


    The largest restaurant in the city was the Immortal Pavilion, and the Peach Immortal Drunk in the Immortal Pavilion was the most famous wine.


    At this moment, in this restaurant, everyone looked at a woman sitting by the window with sighs. This woman looked to be in her thirties and was particularly charming.


    But this was not the reason why everyone was staring at her. It was because of the wine jars at her feet that truly shocked everyone.


    Since this woman entered the restaurant, she had already drunk sixty or seventy jars, but she was still drinking.


    How could such a drinking capacity not astonish people?


    "Good wine." The woman said as she drank, her eyes shining. Her watery eyes also showed a hint of drunkenness.


    "Why doesn''t the Cloud Wilderness have such good wine?" The woman murmured.


    Just at this moment, a figure appeared outside the window.


    "Cong Yunniang, this is the news that just came." The person respectfully handed a letter to the woman.


    Cong Yunniang casually reached out and took it, opened it and looked at it, then grinned. The qi in her palm instantly shattered the letter.


    "So, Jiang Hu also came." Cong Yunniang burped and said, "This Lu Qiaoqiao actually refined the Qishan Order. This is really interesting."


    "Cong Yunniang, do you want us to capture Lu Qiaoqiao?" the person asked in a low voice.


    "Burp." Cong Yunniang glanced at him, as if looking at a fool, and finally patted his shoulder and said, "Young man, your courage is commendable. I have high hopes for you. You go."


    The person was taken aback, surprised, "Should I go alone?"


    "Ah, you go ahead and take the lead. When the time comes, you will likely encounter a man dressed in white with a long sword in his hand. If you manage to kill that man, when you return to the Yin Ten Tower, I will tell my master to appoint you as the Ninth Hall Master of my Yin Ten Tower." Cong Yunniang smirked.


    "This..." The person was obviously tempted, but he wasn''t stupid. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Cong Yunniang, you''re joking. I won''t go." Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Although he didn''t know who the man in white with the long sword that Cong Yunniang mentioned was, it was obviously not someone he could provoke.


    "Then get lost, don''t delay me from drinking!" Cong Yunniang''s low voice said.


    "Okay, I''m leaving, I''m leaving." He quickly left. If he angered Cong Yunniang, the consequences would be troublesome.


    Although they knew that the Qishan Order was in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, the ghost cultivators did not make any moves.


    They could only wait for an opportunity.


    Like a patient hunter waiting for its prey to take the bait.They were not worried about Dao Mountain Ancient Land knowing anything, because only their Ghost Clan could sense the Qishan Order, the human race could not.


    In the blink of an eye, seven days passed in a flash.


    Everything was still calm.


    Even Xu Muhai, who first discovered the traces of the Ghost Clan, was somewhat surprised. The traces of Ghost Cultivation indeed appeared in Minghong Prefecture, but why was there still no movement after so many days?


    It didn''t make sense.


    Since Yan Dongchen appeared in Minghong Prefecture, Xu Muhai had guessed that the people from Yin Shilou must have arrived in Minghong Prefecture, and he had been waiting for them to reveal their flaws.


    But after so many days, the people from Yin Shilou hardly appeared.


    Did these Ghost Cultivators come to Minghong Prefecture to cause trouble?


    Or did they come to Minghong Prefecture for tourism?


    This matter really puzzled Xu Muhai.


    On this day, Li Hengsheng came out of seclusion.


    "My aptitude is really average." Li Hengsheng muttered to himself. He had used the money sent by Li Changqing to buy good cultivation resources, but after seven days of seclusion, he had only cultivated from the third level of the Transcendence Realm to the fourth level.


    Before the seclusion, he was already at the peak of the third level of the Transcendence Realm.


    He knew his aptitude was average, the same as his father''s, capable but lacking in potential.


    It was already good to be able to cultivate Dao and martial arts.


    As for achieving high accomplishments, Li Hengsheng didn''t even have any expectations.


    But now that he had money and cultivation resources, Li Hengsheng believed that his future would definitely be bright.


    If he always had such resources for cultivation, he might be able to reach the pinnacle of the acquired realm in the future.


    The reason why he came out of seclusion today and did not continue to cultivate was because today was the day when the miscellaneous disciples on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters needed to go down the mountain to purchase resources.


    This was something he couldn''t avoid.


    "Brother Li, you''re out of seclusion." At this moment, a familiar sweet voice came.

 Chapter 012 – Does senior brother want to elope with me?

    Upon hearing this voice, Li Hengsheng turned his head and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Junior Sister Lu."


    Is there anything more delightful than meeting your favorite girl after coming out of seclusion?


    Li Hengsheng looked at Lu Qiaoqiao''s face, which was slightly tired despite its delicate features.


    "Junior Sister, have you not been sleeping well these days? You look a bit tired," Li Hengsheng asked curiously.


    "It''s nothing, Senior Brother. You don''t have to worry. Maybe I''ve been busy these days. I just need a good sleep when I get back," Lu Qiaoqiao replied with a smile.


    Li Hengsheng didn''t doubt her words. He suddenly noticed that Lu Qiaoqiao was also carrying a basket on her back and asked curiously, "Junior Sister, are you going down the mountain with that basket? I remember that you weren''t among the disciples going out for purchases this time."


    "Yes, I''m going down the mountain this time. I exchanged with someone else," Lu Qiaoqiao smiled and said, "I''ve been feeling a bit bored on the mountain recently, so I want to go out and relax."


    "Well, it''s good to relax," Li Hengsheng nodded.


    "Then, Senior Brother, I''ll go to the mountain gate to gather first. You should come quickly after getting your things," Lu Qiaoqiao said and left with the basket on her back.


    Li Hengsheng felt that something was off about Lu Qiaoqiao, but he couldn''t put his finger on it. He turned and went to the warehouse to get his own basket.


    After receiving it, he went to the mountain gate to gather. They would be led by an elder from the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters to go down the mountain and purchase supplies.


    However, as soon as Li Hengsheng walked out with his things, he saw a figure standing there, looking at him.


    "Junior Sister Xu?" Li Hengsheng couldn''t help but ask, "Are you here to get a basket too? I remember that you didn''t need to go down the mountain today."


    "You really are clueless," Xu Yueyue said impatiently, "Can''t you see that Junior Sister Lu is not in a good mood?"


    "I can tell, but she didn''t want to talk about it, so I didn''t ask," Li Hengsheng shook his head.


    "That''s why I couldn''t stand it anymore," Xu Yueyue said with her hands on her hips, "Li Hengsheng, do you know that a few days ago, someone from Lu Junior Sister''s family came and they want her to leave Dao Mountain Ancient Land at the end of the month and marry the second young master of the Hai family in Yifeng City."


    Upon hearing this, Li Hengsheng''s eyes widened!


    Marriage?


    Li Hengsheng''s heart started pounding. Was Lu Qiaoqiao going back for a marriage alliance?


    "I can tell that Lu Junior Sister really likes you. She doesn''t want to go back, but she has to obey the family''s orders," Xu Yueyue said, biting her lip, "Li Hengsheng, if you''re a man, you should confess your feelings to Lu Junior Sister and take her away from Minghong Prefecture!"


    "If you speak up, Lu Junior Sister will definitely be willing to go with you," Xu Yueyue hurriedly added.


    "I..." Li Hengsheng''s words got stuck in his throat.


    Didn''t he also like Lu Qiaoqiao?


    But what qualifications did he have to like her?


    In terms of family background, he had nothing, only a mediocre painter as a father.


    In terms of cultivation talent, his talent was very average. It was likely that he would reach his limit in cultivation after reaching the peak of the acquired realm.


    The Prenatal Realm was just a luxury.


    If he really took Lu Qiaoqiao away, what could he give her?


    A life of hardship?


    "What are you thinking?" Xu Yueyue said impatiently.


    "How do you know that Lu Junior Sister won''t be happy marrying the second young master of the Hai family?" Li Hengsheng muttered, not daring to look at Xu Yueyue, "The alliance between the Lu and Hai families will only make them stronger. Lu Junior Sister will have better resources. What''s wrong with that?"


    "You... you blockhead!" Xu Yueyue scolded in frustration. S~ea??h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But Li Hengsheng lowered his head, carried his basket, and walked towards the mountain gate, ignoring Xu Yueyue''s continued scolding.


    When he arrived at the mountain gate, there were already more than twenty disciples waiting.

    The elder at the front glanced at Li Hengsheng, who came last, but didn''t say anything. He just turned around and said, "Alright, let''s go down the mountain!"


    The disciples followed the elder.


    Li Hengsheng walked beside Lu Qiaoqiao, but for a moment, he didn''t know what to say.


    Lu Qiaoqiao glanced at Li Hengsheng and seemed to understand something.


    "Did that little girl Xu Yueyue say something to you?" Lu Qiaoqiao calmly asked.


    Li Hengsheng just nodded.


    "That girl..." Lu Qiaoqiao smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.


    "Are you really going back for the marriage alliance?" Li Hengsheng pondered for a moment and asked with his head lowered.


    "Yes, if I don''t go back, what can I do?" Lu Qiaoqiao said calmly, "The family that raised and supported me is my only choice. I have to obey the family''s orders. This is the fate of aristocratic children. If I could enter the inner sect, maybe I could refuse this marriage, but it''s unlikely now."


    "Okay," Li Hengsheng didn''t know what else to say for a moment, so he just responded with a sound.


    He remembered what Xu Yueyue had said earlier. Should he elope with Lu Qiaoqiao?


    Run away?


    "How about Senior Brother eloping with me?" Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly whispered mischievously in Li Hengsheng''s ear.


    Li Hengsheng''s eyes widened as he looked at Lu Qiaoqiao''s smiling face so close to him. For a moment, he didn''t know how to respond.


    "Hehe, I''m just joking with you, seeing how scared you are," Lu Qiaoqiao giggled and said.


    Li Hengsheng lowered his head and forced a dry laugh to cover up his inner embarrassment.


    After leaving Dao Mountain Ancient Land, they would have to go to the nearest city, Bu Huo City, which would take about two hours.On their journey, both Li Hengsheng and Lu Qiaoqiao were deep in thought, with Li Hengsheng''s mind in particular turmoil, unsure of what he was contemplating.


    As the group was passing the earthen bridge, a sudden surge of murderous intent emerged!


    "Danger!" The leading elder, Lin Feng, suddenly changed his expression!


    However, the next moment, a shower of flowers flew from the front, densely packed with hidden weapons!


    Elder Lin Feng shook his robe on the spot, and his inner strength swept out, directly shaking down the large number of hidden weapons. However, two of the hidden weapons were still missed, and two disciples from the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters were pierced through their bodies by the hidden weapons on the spot!


    The two immediately fell down.


    Everyone was taken aback, wondering what had happened.


    Both Li Hengsheng and Lu Qiaoqiao''s faces changed drastically.


    Daring to ambush the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land in Minghong Prefecture, this was truly the first time they had seen such a thing.


    "Who''s there!"


    Elder Lin Feng shouted angrily, his voice resounding, and the anger contained within it spread out.


    As soon as his words fell, more than a dozen figures jumped out of the water under the earthen bridge. Their bodies were filled with a sinister aura, and each of them had entered the Postnatal Realm.


    "Ghost Cultivation!"


    Seeing the newcomers, Elder Lin Feng''s expression also changed. He didn''t expect to encounter so many Ghost Cultivators here.


    "Kill everyone except that girl," the leading Ghost Cultivator pointed at Lu Qiaoqiao in the crowd and said.


    Even Lu Qiaoqiao herself was stunned.


    Why her?


    More than a dozen Ghost Cultivators leaped up. With their Postnatal Realm, the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters were like lambs to be slaughtered in front of them, with no way to resist.


    "Run!" Seeing so many people coming up, Elder Lin Feng''s first reaction was to leave quickly. He was not afraid of these Ghost Cultivators, but he definitely couldn''t take care of these disciples while fighting so many people.


    Moreover, Elder Lin Feng always had a vague feeling that there was an even more terrifying figure hidden in the dark!


    There might be a master of the Innate Realm!


    "Divine Step!" With a light shout, Elder Lin Feng interlaced his hands to form a pattern, and a force enveloped him and the many disciples. The next moment, everyone felt as if their bodies were lighter.


    Their movements seemed to be a hundred times more agile!


    Without hesitation, everyone turned and ran.


    "The ''Five Absolute Seals'' of Dao Mountain Ancient Land? This is my first time seeing it." Seeing everyone trying to run, a calm voice came.


    The voice seemed to wander in all directions, making it impossible to detect its source.


    But before everyone could run a hundred meters, an object flew from the sky above. It was a scroll!

 Chapter 013 – The Long River Painting Treasure

    "Painting Treasure!"


    When Elder Linfeng saw the scroll flying towards him, his expression finally changed!


    Anyone who can use the Painting Treasure must have a cultivation level above the Prenatal Realm.


    With such a powerful person present, he couldn''t possibly protect the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters.


    Elder Linfeng couldn''t understand why these Ghost Cultivators took such a big risk to ambush them at the foot of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    If they were killing the direct disciples or inner disciples of other peaks, it would be understandable. But the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters were just some menial disciples, not even at the Postnatal Realm. Was it worth risking so much just to kill them?


    Before he could figure it out, the flying scroll slowly unfolded, and the sound of a roaring river echoed in everyone''s ears.


    The painting on the scroll turned out to be a surging river!


    The turbulent river water seemed to flow rapidly towards the end of the void.


    "What is that thing!" Many disciples were dumbfounded. They saw the river flying out of the scroll, and the turbulent water directly blocked their way, sealing off the surrounding kilometers!


    They were completely trapped.


    It was as if they were locked in a cage, with a river blocking their path. Every drop of water in the river contained a penetrating force. If anyone dared to step into it, their bones would be shattered in minutes!


    "It''s the Painting Treasure." Li Hengsheng was also panicked at this moment.


    This was the first time he had seen such a thing as the Painting Treasure.


    The other disciples had never seen or recognized it, but Li Hengsheng knew about it. After all, his father, Li Changqing, was a painter. Although he was only a half-hearted one, Li Hengsheng had some understanding of painters from a young age.


    When a painter becomes powerful, they can turn their paintings into treasures.


    They can incorporate mountains and rivers into their paintings, giving the artwork immense power.


    However, it was not something that could be achieved overnight to create a Painting Treasure. The requirements for the painter were extremely high, and the consumption for the painter was also enormous. Therefore, any Painting Treasure was a very rare treasure.


    Li Hengsheng never expected that he, a small waste at the Transcendence Realm, would one day be targeted with a Painting Treasure.


    His emotions at this moment were too complicated.


    The appearance of the Painting Treasure also indicated that there must be a cultivator at the Prenatal Realm among the people present!


    Only the true qi of a Prenatal Realm expert could control the Painting Treasure. Even Elder Linfeng, a peak expert at the Postnatal Realm, couldn''t activate the Painting Treasure.


    At this moment, Li Hengsheng felt despair.


    With a Prenatal Realm expert making a move, they couldn''t resist at all. Although there was only a thin line between the Prenatal and Postnatal Realms, the difference was huge!


    Before the powerful experts from Dao Mountain Ancient Land even arrived, they were already crushed.


    Seeing the Painting Treasure''s river blocking their path, Elder Linfeng''s gaze also became serious.


    It seemed that today''s situation couldn''t be resolved peacefully.


    "Kill!"


    The earth-shattering shout of killing filled the air as more than twenty Ghost Cultivation experts rushed forward.


    The eyes of each person were like hungry wolves, wanting to kill the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters. When had so many disciples ever experienced such terrifying killing intent?


    The killing intent pressed on their hearts like a tangible substance. Many disciples wet their pants on the spot, and some even fell to their knees, unable to get up again.


    The helplessness and fear in their eyes had reached their limit.


    "Stand behind me." Li Hengsheng gritted his teeth and forcefully pulled the stunned Lu Qiaoqiao behind him.


    "Senior Brother!" Lu Qiaoqiao exclaimed in surprise.


    "I''ll protect you." Although Li Hengsheng''s face was pale, his posture remained upright.


    His eyes stared at the front like a hungry wolf. It was a look of imminent desperation. No matter who came at him, Li Hengsheng would tear a piece of flesh from them.


    "With me here, I won''t let you die in front of me." Li Hengsheng said in a deep voice.


    Hearing these words, Lu Qiaoqiao trembled. She looked at the figure in front of her. He wasn''t tall, but at this moment, he made her feel so safe.


    "Hmph!" S~ea??h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just then, a muffled grunt suppressed the sound of the killing shout!


    Elder Linfeng''s internal energy surged, his long hair danced, and a comparable killing intent filled the surroundings. "You Ghost Clan trash, do you really think there''s no one in Dao Mountain Ancient Land? Those who dare to harm the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, I will send you to become real ghosts!"


    "Invincible!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of golden light erupted from Elder Linfeng''s body, enveloping him like a golden ancient bell.


    "Boom!"


    A Ghost Cultivation expert had already arrived in front of him, and the long staff in his hand descended, directly smashing onto Elder Linfeng''s shoulder!


    The heavy staff, combined with the strength of the Ghost Cultivation expert at the peak of the Postnatal Realm, was enough to crush everything.


    The dull sound made the Ghost Cultivation expert''s smile freeze. Did he think he could withstand his attack with just his physical body?


    But in the next moment, the smile on his face abruptly disappeared.Because when this staff struck down, it felt as if it had hit a piece of steel, completely unable to shake Elder Linfeng''s body.


    "Thousand Jun Force!"


    With another roar, Elder Linfeng''s eyes were like electricity, and he blasted out a palm!


    The vast and heavy palm force seemed to condense an invincible divine power. The Ghost Cultivator immediately felt a great danger, and the long staff in his hand directly blocked his chest!


    But what he didn''t expect was that Elder Linfeng''s palm directly blasted the long staff into two pieces, and at the same time, his palm pierced through his chest!


    Directly shattering his heart.


    "What a terrifying force!"


    As soon as Elder Linfeng made a move, everyone present was extremely shocked.


    The other Ghost Cultivators were even more sweating coldly, is this still a human?


    His sleeves had already been dyed with blood, and Elder Linfeng had just made a move to deter a group of Ghost Cultivators. At this moment, he glared around, the smell of blood drifted with the wind, and the fresh blood on his hand was still dripping.


    At this moment, he was like an insurmountable mountain, making the Ghost Cultivators who wanted to kill him just now dare not act rashly.


    A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.


    It was indeed that Elder Linfeng had just brutally killed a Ghost Cultivator in the postnatal perfection realm, and his methods were extremely cruel, making them fearful.


    Even the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters behind him were shocked by Elder Linfeng''s move.


    Elder Linfeng, who is usually so kind, is so fierce.


    "Who else wants to die, you can come up now, I will send you to be a real ghost." Elder Linfeng''s voice was calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.


    "Want to delay time?" At this moment, a cold voice came: "Quick battle, quick decision."


    As soon as the voice fell, everyone felt a figure appearing like a ghost!


    The figure was like the wind, moving like a ghost, a sword slashed out, heading straight for Elder Linfeng.


    That kind of oppressive feeling directly shocked Elder Linfeng''s heart.


    It was the innate who made the move!


    "Indestructible!"


    "Thousand Jun Force!"


    The golden light around him was flourishing, and at the same time, the power of the mountains and rivers burst out. Facing this sword, Elder Linfeng had no way to avoid it. If he dodged, the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters behind him were destined to die!

 Chapter 014 – The situation is chaotic

    The innate powerhouse strikes with a sword!


    Seemingly ordinary, this sword made Elder Linfeng feel extreme danger even when he used his immortality technique!


    He reached out his palm to intercept the sword, and at this moment, all the golden light on Elder Linfeng''s body gathered on his palm, attempting to withstand this terrifying sword.


    But the gap between the acquired and innate realms was truly too vast.


    Under the sword, the golden light was cut open like tofu. Elder Linfeng''s blood splattered, and his entire arm was directly sent flying by the sword.


    "Elder!"


    The disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters behind him exclaimed at the sight.


    Elder Linfeng''s face turned pale, and a painful groan escaped his mouth. He staggered back several steps, clutching the wound on his right arm with his left hand, blood continuously flowing.


    And the person standing in front of him at this moment had a blindfold over his eyes, clearly a blind man.


    "You are Jiang Hu!" Elder Linfeng gritted his teeth as he spoke, a hint of despair in his heart.


    Jiang Hu from the Star of Destiny Hall.


    A ruthless character.


    With his own strength, he couldn''t stop him at all.


    "It seems someone still remembers my name." Jiang Hu chuckled lightly. "Unfortunately, your Five Absolute Seals cultivation is not up to par. Otherwise, you could have exchanged a few moves with me."


    "What do you Ghost Clan want to do? Why did you take Lu Qiaoqiao away?" Elder Linfeng asked angrily.


    "That has nothing to do with you." Jiang Hu shook his head. "And as a dead man, you knowing so much is useless."


    "Take her away." After speaking, Jiang Hu said to the Ghost Cultivators behind him.


    Several Ghost Cultivators immediately rushed towards Lu Qiaoqiao.


    "Who dares!"


    At this moment, Li Hengsheng roared, his eyes turning bloodshot, veins popping in his eyes. Faced with the approaching Ghost Cultivators, he assumed a wolf-like posture.


    To read the uncut version, go to ].


    But the Ghost Cultivators paid no attention to Li Hengsheng''s actions at all.


    A mere Transcendence Realm Fourth Stage, they could easily kill him with a single slap.


    "Brother Li..." Lu Qiaoqiao was afraid at this moment, but she was more worried about Li Hengsheng.


    However, at this moment, a change occurred. Jiang Hu, who was standing there, tilted his head as if sensing something, and instantly drew his sword!


    His figure was as fast as lightning, leaping into the air and slashing towards the sky.


    This sword was as cunning as a venomous snake, directly repelling a golden whip that was flying towards Lu Qiaoqiao.


    The collision of the two forces in mid-air produced a sonic boom.


    The whip was clearly aimed at Lu Qiaoqiao, but it was blocked by Jiang Hu.


    Clang.


    The long sword returned to its sheath.


    Jiang Hu said slowly, "The Yin Ten Tower has always liked to do these cheap things. Cong Yunnian, as a woman, you are so shameless. Isn''t that right?"


    As soon as his words fell, a person walked out from the Painting Treasure floating in the river.


    This person stepped on a wine jar and held a pot of wine in his hands. His face was slightly intoxicated, and it was precisely Cong Yunnian.


    "You blind man is quite perceptive." Cong Yunnian didn''t care at all about Jiang Hu''s accusation of her shamelessness. She said, "If we can save some effort, of course we should save some effort. The Star of Destiny Hall takes action, and we, the Yin Ten Tower, take advantage. Is there anything wrong with that? What does shame have to do with it? The Star of Destiny Hall is bullying the Dao Mountain Ancient Land''s menial disciples here. Are they not ashamed?"

    "The Yin Ten Tower, Cong Yunnian?" Elder Linfeng''s heart turned cold at this moment. Another troublesome person had arrived.


    Although Cong Yunnian was just a woman, her methods were extremely cruel, no worse than Jiang Hu.


    Having one Jiang Hu was already troublesome enough, and now there was Cong Yunnian as well.


    Moreover, Cong Yunnian had also come for Lu Qiaoqiao. What secret did Lu Qiaoqiao have on her?


    He was well aware of all the disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters, whether it was their family background or anything else. The Dao Mountain Ancient Land had been thoroughly investigated, and there was nothing special about it.


    Even the Lu family behind Lu Qiaoqiao only had an ordinary Transcendence Realm Elder presiding over it, not worth the Yin Ten Tower and the Star of Destiny Hall making a move, right?


    "Cong Yunnian, the Star of Destiny Hall has taken Lu Qiaoqiao. The Yin Ten Tower should withdraw. I don''t want to take action against you." Jiang Hu''s momentum was not weak at all.


    "You say it''s yours, so it''s yours?" Cong Yunnian narrowed her eyes. "The Star of Destiny Hall is the thief, but that thing was obtained by our Yin Ten Tower."


    "Yan Dongchen is already dead, and the thing was lost from Yan Dongchen''s hands. That thing has nothing to do with your Yin Ten Tower anymore." Jiang Hu sneered. "If you insist on snatching it, then I don''t mind trying out your methods."


    "Tsk tsk, it seems there''s no room for negotiation today." Cong Yunnian picked up the wine jar, took a sip, and then casually threw it on the ground.


    The wine jar shattered.


    Cong Yunnian burped and smiled. "If you want to fight, let''s take Lu Qiaoqiao away first and find a quiet place to fight. The Dao Mountain Ancient Land has definitely sensed this place. If Xue Qianbai comes, none of us will be able to leave."


    Jiang Hu pondered for a moment, then looked at Lu Qiaoqiao.


    He nodded.


    The Dao Mountain Ancient Land had definitely sensed it. If Xue Qianbai came, all of them would be finished.


    There was no time to waste. They should take Lu Qiaoqiao away now.


    Lu Qiaoqiao looked at the two people in front of her, feeling extremely scared.


    She didn''t know why these two people insisted on taking her away, what was the reason.


    "Why do you want to take me away?" Lu Qiaoqiao couldn''t help but ask, opening her mouth to the two of them.


    "You''re quite clever, little girl." Cong Yunnian smiled and said, "You don''t need to know for now. Just obediently come with me."


    "I won''t go with you unless you explain it clearly." Lu Qiaoqiao shook her head.


    "That''s not up to you." Jiang Hu shook his head and said, "Take action, don''t wait for Xue Qianbai."


    "Xue Qianbai won''t come."


    At this moment, a strange voice sounded.This voice made both Jiang Hu and Cong Yunniang frown.


    At this moment, the Painting Treasure of the long river actually collapsed instantly, and the scroll flew up.


    Jiang Hu reached out and grabbed the scroll in his hand, and his heart became even more alert.


    His Painting Treasure was actually shaken back into its original form by someone, the strength of the newcomer was not to be underestimated!


    Everyone looked over and saw a tall figure slowly approaching. The newcomer was probably over three meters tall, and his huge body could be called a giant.


    He was shirtless, and his date-red muscles were actually wrapped with traces of blood vessels.


    His body seemed to contain an extremely strong explosive power.


    One punch could annihilate everything.


    "Giant race!" Cong Yunniang was a bit surprised, she didn''t expect to see a member of the Giant race here.


    But this was not what surprised them. What surprised them was that on the shoulder of the giant, there was a young man in a black robe sitting.


    The young man looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, leaning on the giant''s head, looking somewhat lazy. His black robe was inlaid with gold edges, and above his head, a golden crown was hanging!


    PS: If you like it, please add it to your collection.

 Chapter 015 – Long Night Ancient Nation

    The crown exuded a faint sense of oppression, as if it contained a mysterious power.


    The young man yawned, feeling a bit bored.


    As the giant approached, the ground trembled, and the terrifying aura emanating from the giant made everyone present dare not move.


    "Anu, let''s stop here," the young man said casually.


    The giant obediently stood still and did not continue walking.


    At that moment, the young man opened his eyes.


    Everyone was astonished when they saw his eyes, because they were not normal eyes.


    His eyes were divided into yin and yang, like a Tai Chi diagram.


    They looked extremely eerie.


    The young man''s gaze also fell on Lu Qiaoqiao, and he smiled and said, "You''re quite a lively girl."


    Being stared at by the young man like this, Lu Qiaoqiao felt an indescribable fear, especially his eyes, which made her feel uncomfortable.


    "Who are you?" Faced with the sudden appearance of the giant and the young man, Cong Yunniang and Jiang Hu were a bit at a loss. They could feel that this young man was also a practitioner of Ghost Cultivation, but they didn''t know which force he belonged to.


    But in the face of Jiang Hu and Cong Yunniang''s questions, the young man couldn''t be bothered to respond. He just continued to say to Lu Qiaoqiao, "You''re Lu Qiaoqiao, right? Come with me."


    "Why should I go with you?" Li Hengsheng stared fearlessly at the young man.


    His fists were clenched white, but his steps remained firm.


    The young man looked at Li Hengsheng and chuckled, "Do you want to protect your beloved woman? That''s commendable, but unfortunately, your strength is too weak. In my eyes, you''re weaker than a bug."


    "I''m talking to Lu Qiaoqiao, not you. To be precise, a bug like you doesn''t even have the qualifications to talk to me. But since I''m in a good mood today, I''ll give you a few more words. You''re welcome," the young man said with a smile.


    Being humiliated like this, Li Hengsheng wished he could tear the young man''s mouth apart, but he knew very well that if he went up, he would only end up dead.


    "Prince?"


    Hearing this title, Cong Yunniang''s pupils contracted, and her breathing became rapid. "Are you from the Long Night Ancient Nation? Could it be that you''re Chu Changkong?"


    "Chu Changkong?" Even Jiang Hu was greatly surprised to hear this name.


    The Long Night Ancient Nation was once famous, but for some reason, it disappeared overnight and didn''t reappear for fifty years.


    Fifty years later, a powerful figure from the Long Night Ancient Nation emerged, and Chu Bumi became the new lord of the Long Night Ancient Nation.


    He challenged the strong from various races and even went to Tianhai City to challenge the lord of the Cangyuan Realm, Jiang Tianyun. No one knew the outcome of that battle.


    The Long Night Ancient Nation appeared in the eyes of the world again, but people from the Long Night Ancient Nation rarely walked in the Cangyuan Realm, and no one knew where the Long Night Ancient Nation was located.


    Fifteen years ago, a peerless genius was born in the Long Night Ancient Nation. He had naturally born Yin-Yang Eyes and was named Chu Changkong.


    He reached the Postnatal Realm at the age of six.


    He entered the Precelestial Realm at the age of eleven.


    It was rumored that this person had the potential to step into the legendary realm of Land Immortals and become the second Land Immortal after Chu Bumi.


    No one expected to see Chu Changkong here today.


    Jiang Hu and Cong Yunniang never expected that even the mysterious and unpredictable Long Night Ancient Nation would get involved.


    If Chu Changkong insisted on taking Lu Qiaoqiao away, could the Star of Destiny Hall and the Yin Ten Tower stop him?


    "Lu Qiaoqiao, how about going back to the Long Night Ancient Nation with this prince?" Chu Changkong said with a smile. "As long as you come, I will have the lord of the nation appoint you as the Saintess of the Long Night Ancient Nation and enjoy the best resources."


    "Hmph, we in the Star of Destiny Hall can do the same." Jiang Hu stepped forward and said, "As long as you come to our Star of Destiny Hall, I can guarantee that you will comprehend the Great Starry Sky Scroll in our Star River Painting Realm."


    Seeing the inexplicable change in the situation, Cong Yunniang also panicked and quickly said, "We in the Yin Ten Tower have countless Painting Treasures, and there are countless top-notch paintings. As long as you come, we will fulfill all your requests."


    Everyone was confused by the sudden change in the situation.


    What made Lu Qiaoqiao so worthy of their competition?


    "Unfortunately, Lu Qiaoqiao is a disciple of our Dao Mountain Ancient Land. None of you can take her away," several figures rushed over from a distance.


    Explore the extended edition on pawread dot com.


    They were all wearing the clothes of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    When they saw the people from the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Elder Linfeng finally felt relieved.


    Cong Yunniang was also surprised, but when she saw that Xue Qianbai was not among the crowd, she felt relieved.


    "Troublesome. I didn''t expect someone to come so soon," Chu Changkong said with a tilted head, feeling helpless. But he had no worries at all.


    "They are the strong ones from our Dao Mountain Ancient Land."


    "We''re saved!"


    The disciples of the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters burst into tears of joy, and Li Hengsheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He excitedly held Lu Qiaoqiao''s hand and couldn''t help but say, "Senior Sister Lu, we''re safe now."Lu Qiaoqiao quietly watched the arrivals from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, her expression surprisingly indifferent.


    "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"


    Several figures surrounded the group, numbering in the hundreds. They were all inner disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land!


    Each of them had impressive cultivation levels.


    And the six leading figures were even exuding an innate aura.


    "Dao Mountain Ancient Land is really cautious. We are just a small group, yet we have alarmed six Peak Masters of Dao Mountain Ancient Land. Tsk tsk." Chu Changkong said with a laugh.


    Jiang Hu and Cong Yunniang also placed their hands on their weapons.


    "You Ghost Clan really have a lot of nerve, causing trouble on my Dao Mountain Ancient Land''s territory." One of the red-robed Peak Masters stepped forward and said. Sear?h the N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Lin Feng, are you okay?" At this moment, Xu Muhai stepped forward. Seeing that Elder Lin Feng''s arm was still bleeding, he quickly took out a healing medicine to stop the bleeding.


    "Causing trouble? So what? Want to fight?" Chu Changkong was not afraid at all, still smiling and saying, "I won''t be polite. If Xue Qianbai himself came, maybe I would be a little wary. But just the six of you? My servant alone could kill three of you, and I could easily take down two... "


    "The two wastes from Mingxing Palace and Yinshi Tower, teaming up to deal with one should be no problem. How big do you think your chances of winning are, Dao Mountain Ancient Land?" Chu Changkong shrugged.


    "We''ll have to try and see." Xu Muhai still looked sloppy, but unlike usual, his expression was extremely serious at this moment.


    The atmosphere on the scene became subtle.


    Just as everyone was on edge and ready to fight, Lu Qiaoqiao suddenly let go of Li Hengsheng''s hand, stepped forward and said to Chu Changkong, "Don''t fight, I''ll go with you."

 Chapter 016 – People need to take control of their own destiny

    "Junior Sister Lu!"


    Li Hengsheng could hardly believe his ears.


    "Lu Qiaoqiao?"


    The six Peak Masters also turned their attention to Lu Qiaoqiao. They never expected that she would choose to leave with the people from the Long Night Ancient Nation at this time.


    "A wise choice," Chu Changkong said with a smile. "In the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, you are just a lowly disciple. The Dao Mountain Ancient Land cannot afford to cultivate you. But in our Long Night Ancient Nation, it''s different."


    "You will become the Saintess of our Long Night Ancient Nation and have plenty of resources to cultivate yourself."


    Jiang Hu and Cong Yunniang''s expressions turned ugly.


    Lu Qiaoqiao actually wanted to go to the Long Night Ancient Nation.


    Neither side managed to win over Lu Qiaoqiao.


    "Junior Sister Lu, you can''t go with them. You can''t trust the people of the Ghost Clan. They are cunning and despicable. Who knows what they will do to you if you go!" Li Hengsheng reached out and grabbed Lu Qiaoqiao''s hand, his voice trembling. "Come back with Brother Li. There are six Peak Masters here today, and no one can take you away."


    "Today, Brother Li is willing to risk his life to protect you!"


    But after saying these words, a determined look flashed in Lu Qiaoqiao''s eyes. She forcefully pulled her hand out of Li Hengsheng''s grasp.


    "Brother Li," Lu Qiaoqiao turned around and looked at Li Hengsheng. "Don''t be foolish."


    "I..." Li Hengsheng couldn''t believe what he was seeing. It was as if Lu Qiaoqiao had become a different person.


    "Go back?"


    "What''s the point of going back?"


    "Go back to the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters to continue being a lowly disciple, to be a crawling insect that can never finish its tasks, to struggle and climb with just a meager amount of cultivation resources every month?"


    "Or do you want me to go back at the end of the month and marry that infamous Second Young Master of the Hai Family?"


    Li Hengsheng wanted to say something, but when the words reached his lips, he suddenly noticed the coldness in Lu Qiaoqiao''s eyes, and tears were streaming down her face.


    That single tear choked Li Hengsheng''s words.


    "Brother Li, I''ve come to understand something recently."


    "That is, without strength, one will be bullied. This unchanging rule applies to any time. If I had strength, I wouldn''t have to marry the Second Young Master of the Hai Family..."

    "If I had strength, I wouldn''t have to hide behind you trembling when facing the two factions of the Ghost Clan today."


    "Only by becoming strong can I do what I want, right?" Lu Qiaoqiao forced a smile. "Just like you, Brother Li. If you were strong enough, you wouldn''t avoid answering the question I asked you, right?" sea??h th§× ¦ÇovelFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    These words shook Li Hengsheng''s heart.


    Yes, if he had strength, how could he not dare to say "I like you" when facing Lu Qiaoqiao?


    How could he feel unworthy of her?


    "I hope the Peak Masters will understand." Lu Qiaoqiao also looked at the six Peak Masters and respectfully bowed to them.


    The six of them looked at each other, at a loss for words.


    "Since you have made up your mind to leave, we won''t stop you. But take care of yourself," Xu Muhai''s robe fluttered. "If you do anything harmful to the human race in the future, I won''t spare you."


    "Alright, Saintess, we can go now," Chu Changkong said with a smile.


    Lu Qiaoqiao looked at Chu Changkong. "Although I don''t know why you insist on taking me back, I want you to promise me one thing."


    "Saintess, no one has ever dared to ask me to do something. But go ahead, tell me," Chu Changkong''s smile disappeared, and his impatience could be seen in his eyes.


    "After we leave, you are not allowed to harm Brother Li in the Long Night Ancient Nation."


    Previously, Lu Qiaoqiao saw a killing intent towards Li Hengsheng in Chu Changkong''s eyes, as if he wanted to crush him like an ant.


    Li Hengsheng''s throat tightened, and his emotions became extremely complicated.


    He had promised to protect Lu Qiaoqiao, but now she had to protect him.


    "If I find out that you have harmed Brother Li, I will die in front of you, and you won''t get anything," Lu Qiaoqiao''s voice was cold and resolute, leaving no doubt about the sincerity of her words.


    "Fine, I promise you," Chu Changkong reluctantly raised his hands. "Such a lowly ant, I really can''t be bothered to kill him."


    "Then let''s go," Lu Qiaoqiao took a deep breath.


    Anu reached out her hand and placed it on the ground. Lu Qiaoqiao took a step forward and stood on Anu''s palm.


    "Qiaoqiao..." Li Hengsheng couldn''t hold back anymore and called out Lu Qiaoqiao''s nickname.


    How long would it be until they could see each other again after this separation?


    Would this girl who had lived in his heart for so long really be leaving like this today?


    "Brother," Lu Qiaoqiao looked back at Li Hengsheng. "Our destinies are in our own hands. We will meet again one day. I hope when we meet again, you can give me a firm answer."


    "Anu, let''s go," Chu Changkong glanced at the six Peak Masters and then turned to leave with Anu.


    Watching Lu Qiaoqiao''s slowly disappearing figure, Li Hengsheng felt as if his heart was breaking.


    Bleeding.


    But Lu Qiaoqiao''s words echoed in Li Hengsheng''s heart for a long time.Li Hengsheng had come to understand this world.


    If one does not control their own destiny, they will be toyed with by fate.


    Regarding the departure of the people from the Long Night Ancient Nation, the six Peak Masters did not act rashly.


    One reason was that the Long Night Ancient Nation had not harmed their disciples, and the second was that the giant Anu was not easy to provoke. Even if they took action, they might not gain the upper hand, and there was a chance that they would be seized by the people from the Star Palace and the Yin Tenth Tower.


    Moreover, the six Peak Masters were all worried about the same thing.


    Why hadn''t Xue Qianbai shown up when such a big event had occurred here?


    Xue Qianbai should have noticed it long ago.


    However, although the people from the Long Night Ancient Nation could be let go, it would not be so easy for Jiang Hu and Cong Yunniang from the Star Palace and the Yin Tenth Tower to leave.


    "It seems that the people of Dao Mountain Ancient Land are ready to pick on the weak." Jiang Hu sensed the subtle atmosphere and laughed, "I didn''t expect the people of Dao Mountain Ancient Land to be bullies."


    "How we, Dao Mountain Ancient Land, act is none of your business." Xu Muhai sneered. Then, two Peak Masters guarded these disciples, while the other four slowly stepped forward.


    Hundreds of disciples from Dao Mountain Ancient Land also slowly surrounded them.


    A battle was on the verge of breaking out.


    Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    On Thousand Snow Peak.


    This was one of the few snow peaks in Dao Mountain Ancient Land, with an extremely cold climate that scared people away.


    At a snow pavilion on the top of the mountain.


    Xue Qianbai was sitting here, with a chessboard on the stone table. Across from him sat a big man with a red beard, who was anxiously looking at the chessboard.


    Scratching his ears and cheeks.


    "You lost again." Xue Qianbai said calmly, "Chu Ba, you''ve lost five games of chess. It''s time to give me what I want."

 Chapter 017 – Li Hengsheng

    "Wait, wait, let me take another look." The red-bearded man scratched his head and looked at the chessboard, pondering how to turn the game around.


    "No need to think." Xue Qianbai calmly picked up the teacup, the steam rising from it particularly noticeable in this icy and snowy environment.


    "You have already achieved your goal of delaying time, and the person has already left."


    Xue Qianbai took a sip and said, "If you don''t give it to me, I will really draw my sword."


    "Hehe, it seems that I have really lost." Chu Ba grinned and stood up, taking out a letter. "Here, this is the secret news of the Qin Yang Dynasty for the past half year. There is a part about the Princess Consort."


    After Chu Ba finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Then I''ll leave first."


    Xue Qianbai remained silent, ignoring Chu Ba''s words.


    Only then did Chu Ba turn around and leave.


    Chu Ba''s arrival had tied Xue Qianbai down with the information from the Qin Yang Dynasty.


    If it were someone else, Xue Qianbai would have drawn his sword and killed them directly. But Chu Ba was incredibly powerful, and even though he wasn''t Xue Qianbai''s match, he could easily harm innocent people in this Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Xue Qianbai naturally knew what was happening outside the mountain gate, and with Xu Muhai and the others there, Xue Qianbai wasn''t too worried.


    If he really couldn''t control the situation, Xue Qianbai would naturally take action.


    But at this moment, Xue Qianbai was more concerned about the information from the Qin Yang Dynasty.


    Support us at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.


    Or rather, Xue Qianbai was more concerned about the Princess Consort of the Qin Yang Dynasty.


    After reading the information in his hand, Xue Qianbai carefully read the part about the Princess Consort again.


    Then, Xue Qianbai took out a piece of paper and wrote four big characters on it.


    The monarch comes to offer a dance.


    After writing these four characters, Xue Qianbai looked up, his eyes seeming to penetrate the sky. Suddenly, a white eagle flew from the depths of the ice and snow and landed directly in front of Xue Qianbai.


    "White Spirit, I''m counting on you." Xue Qianbai put the letter into a bamboo tube and tied it to the white eagle''s foot. The white eagle looked at Xue Qianbai, flapped its huge wings, and flew into the distance.


    As the sun set in the west, the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land finally returned.


    In the previous fierce battle, the four Peak Masters of Dao Mountain Ancient Land joined forces, along with hundreds of disciples in the Postnatal Realm. The Star of Destiny Hall and the Yin Ten Tower didn''t gain any advantage at all.


    Yin Ten Tower was fortunate to have only Yun Niang herself, but the Star of Destiny Hall had brought many people.


    Almost all of them perished here.


    Jiang Huo managed to escape using the Painting Treasure.


    And Yun Niang also left with serious injuries.


    Following the principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy, the four Peak Masters did not continue to chase.


    At dusk, the crowd finally returned to Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    On the way, Li Hengsheng didn''t say anything, becoming particularly silent.


    The disciples who usually had a good relationship with Li Hengsheng tried to talk to him, but Li Hengsheng ignored them. They could only comfort him, saying that there would be a day when he would see Lu Qiaoqiao again.


    But as they said this, they knew that their hopes were slim.


    Where did Lu Qiaoqiao go?


    It was the Yun Huang.


    It was the Long Night Ancient Nation, the land of the Ghost Clan.


    The hope of seeing her again in this lifetime was truly approaching zero.


    Although they didn''t know why Lu Qiaoqiao was chosen, she had become the Saintess of the Long Night Ancient Nation.


    And Li Hengsheng was just a miscellaneous disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land. The gap between them would only grow larger in the future, destined to be people from two different worlds.


    Returning to Dao Mountain Ancient Land, all the disciples breathed a sigh of relief.


    Some greedily sucked in the air, savoring the taste of peace.


    In the distance, many disciples from the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters came out to greet them, as if they already knew what had happened to them outside.


    Li Hengsheng saw Xu Yueyue among the crowd, and Xu Yueyue''s gaze also fell on Li Hengsheng. However, Xu Yueyue''s eyes were red, as if she had just cried.


    "I want to control my own destiny. I don''t want to be manipulated by anyone anymore." Li Hengsheng muttered to himself, "Junior Sister Lu, we will meet again. When that day comes, I will make the entire Cangyuan Realm hear the answer you want."


    "Everyone, go back and rest." At this time, a Peak Master walked out and his gaze finally fell on Li Hengsheng. "You, come with me."


    "Yes." Li Hengsheng knew that this person was the Peak Master of the Prison Peak, named Li Zhi, in charge of the disciplinary punishment of the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    The people around whispered, not knowing what the Peak Master of the Prison Peak wanted with Li Hengsheng.


    "Come with me to the Prison Peak. I have something to ask you." Li Zhi said calmly.


    Lu Qiaoqiao was taken away, and not only did the Star of Destiny Hall and the Yin Ten Tower fight desperately for her, even the rarely seen Long Night Ancient Nation took action. This made them eager to know what was special about Lu Qiaoqiao.


    And it was obvious that Lu Qiaoqiao had a good relationship with Li Hengsheng. Perhaps they could find clues from Li Hengsheng.


    Crossing the Bridge of Transmigration, not only Li Hengsheng and Li Zhi, but also the other five Peak Masters who had taken action today followed.


    They were also eager to know the truth of the matter.


    Li Zhi directly brought Li Hengsheng to his own cave.


    Li Hengsheng looked around curiously. The environment here was beautiful, and even the True Essence of heaven and earth felt particularly abundant. If he cultivated in such a place, his speed would definitely be faster.


    This also strengthened Li Hengsheng''s belief that it was impossible to become strong by staying in the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters alone.He must get out of there.


    All six Peak Masters took their seats.


    Without wasting any time, Li Zhi directly asked Li Hengsheng about Lu Qiaoqiao''s identity.


    Li Hengsheng didn''t hide anything and told them all about Lu Qiaoqiao''s background.


    However, after hearing this, all six of them wore strange expressions.


    What Li Hengsheng said wasn''t anything special, it was all information that could be found in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    "These Ghost Clan members only appeared in Minghong Prefecture recently. Tell us what has happened to Lu Qiaoqiao recently." Xu Muhai planned to find some clues from this.


    "Not only that, but also who Lu Qiaoqiao has been in contact with recently. Tell us everything you know. That..." A slightly overweight Peak Master pointed at Li Hengsheng and then frowned, "I still don''t know your name."


    "My name is Li Hengsheng," Li Hengsheng replied with a fist salute.


    "Li Hengsheng?" Upon hearing this name, Xu Muhai''s pupils contracted.


    So he was Li Hengsheng?


    No wonder they couldn''t find him, he was working as a menial worker on the Peak of Ten Thousand Slaughters.


    He was the son of that mysterious Li Changqing?


    But why was he so ordinary?


    He had thought he would be a prodigy, but he turned out to be such an ordinary person.


    However, Xu Muhai remained silent and didn''t say anything.


    The others didn''t notice anything wrong with Xu Muhai either, and all turned their attention to Li Hengsheng.


    Li Hengsheng had no choice but to recount everything that had happened recently in great detail, all the way up to receiving the package his father had sent him, and how Lu Qiaoqiao had taken the iron plaque to make a token.

    "Hold on."


    Li Zhi wore a strange expression and asked, "That iron plaque, you said there were words on it. What did it say?"


    "Qi," Li Hengsheng answered truthfully.

 Chapter 018 – Xu Muhai is here

    As soon as this word came out, all six people present were interested.


    The six people looked at each other and understood from each other''s eyes why the three factions of the Ghost Clan were fighting for Lu Qiaoqiao.


    It was because of that token.


    Then Li Hengsheng talked about what happened afterwards.


    "Alright, you go rest." Li Zhi stood up and beckoned a disciple, saying, "Escort this junior brother."


    "Junior brother, please come this way." The disciple said politely.


    "Thank you, senior brother." Li Hengsheng turned around and left with the disciple.


    After Li Hengsheng left, Li Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Qishan Order, I didn''t expect the third Qishan Order to appear. No wonder they are all fighting desperately for Lu Qiaoqiao. Everything makes sense now."


    "It doesn''t make sense." The chubby Peak Master frowned and said, "It''s not hard to understand that the Qishan Order would appear. What I don''t understand is why Li Hengsheng said the package was sent by his father, and why the Qishan Order would be with his father."


    The others also felt strange.


    "What''s so strange about that?" Xu Muhai smiled and said, "The Qishan Order was definitely in Yan Dongchen''s hands before. Later, Yan Dongchen was chased by me and afraid that I would find the Qishan Order, so he hid it in the package from the Cangyuan Escort Bureau."


    "As a result, this package happened to be sent to the disciples of our Dao Mountain Ancient Land, so the Qishan Order ended up in Li Hengsheng''s hands, and later it coincidentally ended up with Lu Qiaoqiao."


    "I think Lu Qiaoqiao must have accidentally refined the Qishan Order. The nearby Ghost Clan must have sensed it, which is why we have the scene today." Xu Muhai explained confidently to everyone.


    Listening to Xu Muhai''s explanation, it seemed to make sense, and no matter how they thought about it, this was the only explanation that made sense.


    For a while, everyone had to accept this explanation.


    Before coming here, they had already investigated Li Hengsheng''s background.


    Li Changqing, although a painter, was extremely destitute and had no talent, so there was nothing to pay attention to.


    Apart from Xu Muhai''s explanation, they really couldn''t think of any other explanation.


    "Their original intention was to fight for the Qishan Order, but since the Qishan Order was refined by Lu Qiaoqiao, they could only take her away."


    "The Qishan Order is owned by the Qishan Ghost Lord. He has sent out three Qishan Orders in his lifetime to sever cause and effect. The one who refines the Qishan Order can find the Qishan Ghost Lord and request his help."


    "The first two Qishan Orders have long been used up, by Yin Fengqi of the Medical King Valley and by Yin Fengqi of the North Cold Country. The two Qishan Orders directly changed their lives."


    "And this third one has been sealed for a long time, but it was found by the Yin Ten Tower. It''s just a rumor that the Qishan Ghost Lord is currently in seclusion, and it will take at least a year to find him."


    The chubby Peak Master smiled bitterly, "If the other forces in Yunhuang find out that the Long Night Ancient Nation has obtained the Qishan Order, Lu Qiaoqiao will probably face countless assassinations in this year."


    "The Qishan Ghost Lord is rumored to have already cultivated to the realm of a land immortal. If he takes action, there are very few people in the world who can stop him. The old enemies of the Long Night Ancient Nation will definitely try their best to retrieve the Qishan Order."


    Seeing everyone discussing animatedly, Xu Muhai yawned and stood up with a smile, saying, "You guys continue chatting, I''m going back to my Muhaifeng to sleep. I''m really tired today."


    After saying that, he ignored the others and left directly.


    Everyone had already witnessed Xu Muhai''s eccentric behavior, so they didn''t pay much attention to it. What they were more concerned about now was the matter of the Qishan Order.


    Since the Qishan Order had appeared, they would definitely report this matter.


    Unfortunately, the Sect Master was not here.


    And they were not in a hurry either. If the Long Night Ancient Nation were to take action, it wouldn''t be now. The Qishan Ghost Lord was in seclusion, and it would take at least a year for him to come out.


    In other words, within this year, the Long Night Ancient Nation could not ask the Qishan Ghost Lord for anything.


    Li Hengsheng returned to his room, and the events of today made his mood restless.


    He wanted to become stronger.


    He wanted to become a strong person and meet Lu Qiaoqiao again one day.


    This was also what he promised Lu Qiaoqiao.


    But how could he become stronger? Li Hengsheng knew his own aptitude, which could only be considered mediocre.


    To strive desperately and reach the peak of acquired realm in the future would already be a stroke of great luck.


    Reaching the peak of the acquired realm was already considered a master.


    But this was still not enough to reach the level of Lu Qiaoqiao. Li Hengsheng didn''t know what the Long Night Ancient Nation was, but he knew about Chu Changkong.


    He was innate at the age of eleven.


    That look in his eyes, treating himself as a bug that could be crushed at any time, was still unforgettable to Li Hengsheng.


    "Knock, knock, knock."


    Just as Li Hengsheng was thinking about what to do, there was a knocking sound from outside the door.


    "Who is it?"


    Li Hengsheng walked over and opened the door.


    He thought it was a senior brother who knew about today''s events and came to comfort him, but when he opened the door, Li Hengsheng was stunned.


    The person at the door was actually Xu Muhai!


    The Peak Master of Muhaifeng!


    And Li Hengsheng knew very well that among the thirty-six Peak Masters of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Xu Muhai''s cultivation level could rank in the top three.


    Don''t be fooled by Xu Muhai''s carefree and sloppy appearance, and his clothes were tattered. There were even few people on Muhaifeng. But Xu Muhai was one of the few people in the entire Dao Mountain Ancient Land who could comprehend the "Five Absolute Seals" to the fourth realm.


    With just this, Xu Muhai was enough to stand among the heroes.


    Li Hengsheng never expected that Xu Muhai would come to find him.


    "Peak Master Xu Muhai." Li Hengsheng quickly said respectfully.


    "You''re called Li Hengsheng?" Xu Muhai smiled and looked at Li Hengsheng.


    "Yes, this disciple is called Li Hengsheng." Li Hengsheng said.


    "I''m here to discuss something with you." Xu Muhai walked into the room and closed the door."Peak Master, please speak." Li Hengsheng was somewhat surprised. What could Xu Muhai possibly want to discuss with him?


    He was just a lowly servant disciple.


    "Come to my Mu Haifeng, become my personal disciple, Xu Muhai. Are you willing?" Xu Muhai asked seriously, looking at Li Hengsheng.


    "Huh?"


    Li Hengsheng was stunned on the spot.


    To become... Xu Muhai''s personal disciple?


    What was going on?


    Had Xu Muhai been drinking fake wine? S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Or had he hit his head while fighting with the Ghost Clan during the day?


    "Peak Master Mu Haifeng, are you joking?" Li Hengsheng still couldn''t believe it, this was too damn fantastical.


    Who knew Xu Muhai would just shake his head: "I''m not joking with you, I''m just asking if you''re willing or not."


    "I am willing!"


    Who wouldn''t want such an opportunity? Anyone who didn''t would be a damn fool.


    Li Hengsheng had been worrying about how to improve himself, and then Xu Muhai came to take him as a disciple.


    Would it still be difficult to improve himself under Xu Muhai''s guidance?


    As for why it was him, Li Hengsheng no longer cared.


    "Good, wait for me a few days. Besides asking you, I also need to ask another person. If he agrees, then I can take you in." Xu Muhai said seriously, looking at Li Hengsheng.

 Chapter 019 – Pleasant morning

    "Another person?"


    Li Hengsheng was somewhat surprised. Xu Muhai wanted to take in disciples and still needed to ask another person?


    Who are they asking?


    Could it be the sect master?


    But as the peak master of Mu Haifeng, he should have this authority, right?


    Although he had doubts in his heart, Li Hengsheng did not ask further. In any case, he had already seen the light.


    Being able to become a disciple of Mu Haifeng, he might really have a chance to reach the innate realm.


    Once he reached the innate realm, he would become a top-notch expert.


    In the future, when facing Lu Qiaoqiao again, he would have the ability to protect her.


    In the early morning, the sun slowly rose.


    The gentle and not dazzling light spread over the entire Changting Town, and the town gradually became lively.


    People doing business also started to come out, and it was bustling. The shouts of the vendors made people feel the atmosphere of the market, making them comfortable.


    "Boss, a bowl of clear porridge and an oil cake."


    A man in a green robe sat down and said to the busy stall owner.


    "Master Li, you''re here." The boss quickly smiled and said, "Please wait, I''ll serve you right away."


    Saying that, the stall owner quickly put down what he was doing, wiped his hands on his clothes, and quickly picked up a pair of tongs to pick the largest oil cake and put it on a plate.


    Then, he used a spoon to scoop up the thickest rice porridge from the bottom of the pot and carefully put it into a bowl. He sprinkled a small pinch of salt and chopped green onions on top, then walked over with a smile and placed the food on the table.


    After doing all this, he turned around and brought a small plate with some pickled vegetables.


    "Master Li, these are the pickles my wife made yesterday. Please try them."


    "Okay, thank you." Li Changqing nodded.


    He had already gotten used to the life here and felt that the pressure of life here was not great. Compared to his previous life, it was much better.


    Although most of the silver had been sent to Li Hengsheng, the remaining amount was enough for Li Changqing to live a very comfortable life.


    After all, Li Changqing didn''t need to buy expensive painting paper and brushes now.


    He could wander around, eat some food, take care of flowers, occasionally do some carving. His life could be said to be very comfortable.


    Recently, Li Changqing had also read a lot of books from the stall. Although these books were all strange novels, he still learned some information about warriors and painters in this world.


    Especially about painters, Li Changqing was very curious.


    The description of painters in the books was simply incredible. With the power of their vast divine souls, they seemed to be able to do anything. This made Li Changqing curious. He was not a painter, only a woodcarver. Did he possess such a powerful divine soul?


    If he did, how should he use it?


    If it really existed, what level was his divine soul?


    Li Changqing was very curious about these things.


    However, he didn''t know any painters, so there was no one to ask.


    With only these strange novels, there was no reference at all.


    It seemed that Changting Town was still too small. He should go out and see more of this world.


    Generally speaking, painters in the Cangyuan Realm would go on long journeys.


    They would see the scenery of the Cangyuan Realm, experience all kinds of magical landscapes, and encounter various strange creatures. The more they saw, the more they could paint.


    If they saw less, painters would not be able to paint anything.


    Because he didn''t need money recently, Li Changqing had only been doing some small carvings these days and nothing else.


    The truth was that his carvings seemed to have a magical ability, not inferior to paintings. Li Changqing was worried that if he made something and attracted unnecessary trouble to himself.


    As an ordinary person, if he didn''t have the ability to protect himself, it would be equivalent to seeking death.


    "It''s really delicious. Boss, your cooking skills are really good." Li Changqing finished the oil cake and porridge cleanly. "These pickles are also good."


    A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.


    "Thank you for your praise, Master Li. I''m glad you like them." The boss smiled.


    Since Li Changqing started coming to eat here, he indirectly attracted many customers.


    Even painters thought that the food here was delicious, so others also wanted to try it.


    At this moment, the sound of carriages and horses came from a distance. Several carriages carrying goods slowly approached, their cargoes covered with burlap and piled up.


    "So many goods." Li Changqing couldn''t help but sigh.


    "These are goods from the Yan Family Merchant Association. They go out to purchase goods every month during these days. They just came back." The stall owner explained to Li Changqing.


    "The Yan Family?" Li Changqing raised his eyebrows. Yes, if he wanted to find information in this area, the Yan Family should have it, right?


    The Yan Family was, after all, a big family.


    They should have many books.


    Maybe they really had what he wanted.


    As for how to go to the Yan Family to read, Li Changqing was not worried because Yan Botao had left him a token before leaving.


    With the token given by the Yan Family Patriarch, it would be easy to enter the Yan Family.


    Thinking of this, Li Changqing left the money and headed towards the Yan Family.


    In Changting Town, the Yan Family was one of the top families, and Yan Botao had extraordinary cultivation.


    So there were many guests who visited the Yan Family every day.


    The Yan Family had many industries in Changting Town. Some came to the Yan Family to seek employment, while others wanted to become guards based on their own abilities.


    It could be said that all kinds of people were there.


    When Li Changqing arrived at the gate of the Yan Family, he found that there were already more than a dozen people waiting outside.


    However, they couldn''t enter at all.


    "The Yan Family is really popular." Li Changqing muttered to himself.He then straightened his clothes and casually headed towards the Yan family''s main gate.


    The people waiting outside saw Li Changqing intending to walk straight in, their eyes revealing expressions of amusement.


    They were waiting here for the Yan family''s steward to select them, but this man was different. He didn''t seem to bring any gifts, yet he wanted to enter the Yan family''s residence?


    Could he be a fool?


    "Halt, wait outside." The two Yan family guards at the gate saw Li Changqing trying to enter and immediately stepped forward to stop him.


    However, Li Changqing was not in the mood to play any games of pretending to be weak. He directly took out a token and placed it in front of the two men. S§×arch* The nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The two guards were taken aback when they saw the token in Li Changqing''s hand.


    This was not a simple token.


    This was a top-level offering token!


    "Please, please." The two guards hurriedly said to Li Changqing.


    "Thank you." Li Changqing said a word of thanks and then entered the Yan family''s residence.


    This left the crowd outside dumbfounded.


    What was going on?


    "Why can he go in, but we can''t?" A burly man roared at the two guards.


    They only knew that Li Changqing seemed to have shown some sort of card to the two guards, but they didn''t see what it was.


    The Yan family guards simply ignored them.


    At this moment, a man dressed in plain clothes stepped forward from the crowd, a sly smile on his face. "I also have a card, brothers, please make an exception."


    As he spoke, he took out a card and showed it to the two men.


    The two guards looked at it, and there was a word written on the card.


    Phoenix.


    The man grinned and said, "It''s a discount card from the Green Phoenix Pavilion. Brothers, with this card, you can get a 30% discount. I can take you there."


    "Scram."

 Chapter 020 – Wan Shu Tower

    After entering the Yan Residence, Li Changqing finally understood what it meant to be from a wealthy family.


    The size of this place was almost comparable to the Forbidden City.


    Although he had seen the courtyards of wealthy families on TV in his previous life, seeing them in person was a completely different experience.


    There were busy servants everywhere, various pavilions and towers, exquisite carvings, and golden brilliance, all exuding luxury.


    Li Changqing walked for a while, crossing bridges and passing through courtyards and gardens.


    He was completely lost.


    Many servants noticed Li Changqing, showing curious expressions, but no one came up to ask.


    Because they were used to such things.


    Perhaps another clueless person who wanted to enter the Yan Residence to seek opportunities.


    If he wandered around, he would easily encounter the Yan Residence''s patrol team and be thrown out.


    "Excuse me..." Li Changqing saw a servant passing by and wanted to ask, but the servant didn''t even turn his head and hurried away.


    "Why are they in such a hurry? Is the pace of life in the Yan Residence this fast?" Li Changqing was speechless.


    Just then, a burst of laughter came.


    A group of young men dressed in yellow robes walked over from not far away. They were all energetic and had smiles on their faces.


    Judging from their clothes, Li Changqing guessed that they were the young masters of the Yan Residence.


    The leading young man was arrogant, surrounded by three people, and had a flattering expression on his face.


    The others also showed some awe towards this young man.


    "Excuse me." Li Changqing thought it would be fine to ask them. They were familiar with the Yan Residence and must know where the books were kept.


    But as soon as Li Changqing spoke, the leading young man frowned and glanced at him with disdain.


    "Get out of the way, don''t block the road. Where did this guy come from? So clueless, hurry up and get lost." The leading young man impatiently waved his hand.


    "What are you standing there for? Can''t you hear Brother Sheng asking you to move? If you delay Brother Sheng''s cultivation, can you afford the consequences?" The people around the young man criticized Li Changqing one after another.


    They were all eager to please this Brother Sheng, afraid of not catching his attention. sea??h th§× NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Damn, are all the brats in the Yan Residence this arrogant?


    This reminded Li Changqing of his unfilial son in his previous life. They were simply the same.


    So disrespectful!


    Li Changqing rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach this arrogant young man a lesson.


    But just as he was about to make a move, Li Changqing suddenly remembered.


    Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the ]"


    Damn, this kid is a martial artist.


    Although his cultivation seemed average, he still had some level of strength. If he, an ordinary person, made a move, he would only get beaten up, right?


    "What? You still want to fight?" Seeing Li Changqing rolling up his sleeves, the leading young man''s eyes flashed with a cold light.


    "Huh?" Li Changqing could only pretend to be surprised and said, "What fight? I... It''s just hot weather, so I rolled up my sleeves."


    "Hahaha." This sentence caused the young men to burst into laughter.


    Li Changqing felt a bit frustrated.


    As an adult who had lived two lives, he was actually laughed at by a few kids!


    "Let''s go, let''s not bother with him." The group of young men laughed and walked away.


    Li Changqing could only sigh and tell himself not to get angry.


    "Do you have any business in the Yan Residence? Are you lost? If you want to find someone, I happen to have nothing to do and can take you there."


    While Li Changqing was resting his eyes, a clear voice sounded beside him.


    Li Changqing opened his eyes and saw a somewhat delicate young man standing in front of him.


    Li Changqing remembered that this delicate young man had been in the group just now, but he had always walked at the back, seeming a bit isolated and not getting along well with the others.


    "Yan Hanzhou, you really like to meddle in other people''s affairs. You can''t even handle your own matters, yet you still have the mood to interfere with others. It serves you right to be exiled from the Yan Residence."


    The leading young man turned his head and sneered.


    "Brother Sheng, ignore him. I guess he knows that he has no hope of staying here, so he has willingly degraded himself."


    "Once a genius! Haha, now he can''t even stay in the Yan Residence." Someone even whistled at the young man named Yan Hanzhou.


    Hearing their mockery, Yan Hanzhou frowned, but he didn''t say a word.


    Li Changqing was somewhat surprised by Yan Hanzhou''s temperament. This young man, who seemed to be around twelve or thirteen years old, could actually endure so much.


    "Uncle, who are you looking for?" Yan Hanzhou asked with a smile. "Maybe I can help you."


    "I want to find a place to read books." Li Changqing stated his purpose.


    "A place to read books?" Yan Hanzhou was taken aback.


    "Where in the Yan Residence has the most books?" Li Changqing rephrased his question.


    "Naturally, that would be the Wan Shu Tower." Yan Hanzhou answered instinctively.


    "Can you please take me to the Wan Shu Tower?"


    Knowing that there was indeed a place with many books, Li Changqing became hopeful."I can take Uncle there," Yan Hanzhou said with a bitter smile, "But the Wan Shu Tower is a crucial place in Yan Residence. It not only houses a vast collection of books but also many precious paintings. Even the children of our residence are not qualified to enter."


    "Uncle, if you want to go in, I''m afraid it might not be possible," Yan Hanzhou honestly told Li Changqing.


    "I wonder if this token can get me in?" Li Changqing took out the token that Yan Botao had given him.


    Upon seeing the token, Yan Hanzhou''s face changed instantly.


    "Greetings, Great Steward!" Yan Hanzhou took a step back and bowed respectfully.


    "Great Steward?" Li Changqing looked at the token in his hand in surprise, not expecting it to be the steward''s token.


    However, what it was didn''t matter. What Li Changqing cared about was whether this token could get him into the Wan Shu Tower.


    "So, can I enter the Wan Shu Tower?" Li Changqing extended his hand to help Yan Hanzhou up.


    "Yes, of course, you can!" Yan Hanzhou quickly replied, "The Great Steward''s status in our Yan family is second only to the clan leader. Naturally, you are qualified to enter the Wan Shu Tower. Let me show you the way."


    With that, Yan Hanzhou made a gesture of invitation.


    "Thank you," Li Changqing said with a smile.


    Meanwhile, Yan Botao was in his study, reading a letter.


    The content of the letter made Yan Botao frown, as if something significant had happened.


    "What on earth is it?" Yan Botao slowly put down his heart and murmured to himself.


    Just then, there was a hurried knock on the door.


    "Clan leader," a man''s voice came.


    "Is it the Third Elder? Come in if you have something to say," Yan Botao said calmly.


    The door opened, and the Third Elder of Yan Residence walked in, exclaiming excitedly, "Someone just reported that the Great Steward''s token has appeared. It must be Elder Li Changqing visiting our Yan Residence."

 Chapter 021 – Give you a little gadget

    "Senior Li Changqing has arrived?" Yan Botao''s eyes lit up. He had been eagerly anticipating Li Changqing''s arrival these past few days.


    He had given the token of the Grand Offering before, but Li Changqing had never come. He had lost hope.


    He had planned to wait for some time and find an excuse with Yan Yushi before going to find Li Changqing and get closer to him.


    Who knew that he would finally come today.


    He had been worried that Li Changqing would look down on the Yan family, a small and insignificant clan.


    But now it seemed there was hope.


    If the Yan family could gain Li Changqing''s support, Yan Botao was confident that the Yan family would become the number one clan in Changting Town.


    Perhaps they could even establish a foothold in Minghong Prefecture.


    This was the Yan family''s opportunity!


    "Where is Senior Li Changqing?" Yan Botao quickly tidied himself up and prepared to go meet Li Changqing.


    "I heard he went to Wanshulou." The third elder said strangely, "I wonder what Senior Li Changqing wants to do at Wanshulou?"


    "Wanshulou?" Yan Botao''s hand stopped, and he pondered for a long time before saying, "Keep an eye on the situation at Wanshulou and inform me of any developments. If Senior Li Changqing needs anything, let me know as well."


    "Shouldn''t we go there?" The third elder couldn''t help but ask.


    "Senior Li Changqing might want to read books at Wanshulou. We shouldn''t disturb him, but we must ensure that he is comfortable. This is the Yan family''s opportunity." Yan Botao said seriously.


    "Also, order the blockade of Wanshulou. No one from the clan is allowed to enter until Senior Li Changqing comes out." Yan Botao thought for a moment. S~ea??h the Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The third elder nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then hesitated for a moment and said, "There is one more thing."


    "What is it?" Seeing the expression on the third elder''s face, Yan Botao sat down and said, "Just tell me."


    "It''s like this..." The third elder whispered a few words.


    "Absolutely ridiculous!"


    "Truly lawless!" Yan Botao slapped the table in front of him, leaving a handprint, almost shattering it.


    We are ", find us on google.


    "Yan Dongsheng didn''t mean it. He is just a young man..." The third elder said awkwardly. If he had to be serious, Yan Dongsheng could be considered a member of his lineage.


    But the matter of Yan Dongsheng offending Li Changqing was something the third elder couldn''t hide.


    After all, it concerned the future of the Yan family.


    "A young man?" Yan Botao sneered, "If he wasn''t a young man, Senior Li Changqing would have killed him long ago. Who gave him the courage!"


    "In that case, Clan Leader, what should we do about this matter..." The third elder couldn''t help but ask.


    "Send him to Peizhou. We have a farm there. Let him work as a laborer." Yan Botao said indifferently, "Third elder, this is because of your face. Otherwise, how should we deal with a clan member who endangers the family? You should be well aware."


    "Thank you, Clan Leader, for sparing his life." The third elder respectfully bowed.


    Meanwhile, Yan Hanzhou finally arrived at the entrance of Wanshulou with Li Changqing.


    "It''s not small." Looking at the seven-story tower in front of him, Li Changqing couldn''t help but marvel at the grandeur of Wanshulou.


    "As long as you use your token, you can enter and find the books you want." Yan Hanzhou said respectfully.


    Looking at this polite young man in front of him, Li Changqing couldn''t help but like him more and more.


    "I heard them teasing you just now, saying that you will be going somewhere else soon?" Li Changqing asked at this moment, "I know your Clan Leader. Should I talk to him if I meet him?"


    Upon hearing this, a hint of eagerness flashed in Yan Hanzhou''s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.


    "Thank you, Grand Offering, but there''s no need." Yan Hanzhou shook his head and said, "In the eyes of the clan, I am a hopeless person. Staying here will only bring trouble to others. It''s better to start anew somewhere else."


    "What is a useless person?" Li Changqing frowned and said, "I have heard someone say such a sentence before."


    "Even a pair of underwear and a roll of toilet paper have their uses, let alone you?" Li Changqing looked at Yan Hanzhou seriously and said.


    Yan Hanzhou: "???"


    "Cough, I misspoke." Li Changqing felt that something was off about that sentence after saying it. Although the meaning was correct, it sounded somewhat derogatory.


    "What I mean is, everyone has their own talents and will be useful in their own way. Don''t give up, young man." Li Changqing laughed heartily.


    "Everyone has their own talents?" Yan Hanzhou couldn''t help but ponder over these words...


    "Senior, I am not really the useless person they say I am."


    Encountering someone who appreciated him so much, Yan Hanzhou couldn''t help but feel moved. So he said, "In my Yan family, after reaching the fifth level of the Transcendence Realm, one must comprehend a set of techniques within three years.""If I can''t comprehend it, I''ll have to leave the Yan family." Yan Hanzhou said with his head lowered, "I''ve comprehended the cultivation method twice before, but it wasn''t what I wanted, so I chose to give up both times and didn''t accept the inheritance."


    "Perhaps because I rejected it twice, I haven''t been able to comprehend any cultivation methods for the third time. The three-year deadline is approaching, and I can only accept my fate."


    "You can practice cultivation methods after reaching the fifth level of the Transcendence Realm?" Li Changqing blinked, finding Yan Hanzhou rather picky.


    A Virgo, perhaps?


    "I''m sorry for wasting your time, senior. You should go read your books. I''ll take my leave first." After saying this, Yan Hanzhou bowed respectfully to Li Changqing and prepared to turn around and leave.


    "Wait." Li Changqing stopped Yan Hanzhou at this moment.


    "Does senior have any instructions?" Yan Hanzhou asked curiously.


    "You''ve helped me, and I don''t have anything to repay you with. This is a little trinket I made in my spare time. I''ll give it to you." As he spoke, Li Changqing took out a miniature wooden carving from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Hanzhou.


    Recently, Li Changqing hadn''t been making any serious carvings. Since he had money and didn''t worry about food and clothing, he didn''t bother to do it. If his son needed money next month, he would figure out a way.


    However, when people have free time, they tend to get bored. So, Li Changqing simply carved some small trinkets that he had never carved before.


    They were rather odd and cute things.


    "This is..." Seeing the wooden carving that Li Changqing handed to him, Yan Hanzhou was stunned.


    Li Changqing then turned around and entered the library.


    Leaving Yan Hanzhou staring in shock at the wooden carving in his hand.


    What was this?


    It looked like an animal.


    But Yan Hanzhou had never seen this kind of animal before.


    Was it a mouse?


    But it didn''t look like one. It had a chubby body, a tail that looked like lightning, and two rosy cheeks.


    What was this?


    He naturally couldn''t recognize it.


    Probably no one in the entire Cangyuan Realm could recognize what it was.


    Because it was a Pikachu that Li Changqing had carved in his spare time.

 Chapter 022 – Enter the realm of the day after tomorrow

    When you''re just trying to make great content at .


    In this world, no one recognizes this thing.


    But holding this Pikachu in his hand, Yan Hanzhou has a different feeling at this moment.


    He feels that the unknown creature in front of him seems to have come alive.


    The world in front of him has gradually dimmed.


    The whole world seems to be shrouded in darkness, only this Pikachu is vividly active in front of him.


    In an instant, an astonishing thunderous power bursts out from this Pikachu!


    The power of thunder seems to be able to annihilate everything.


    Wherever the thunder passes, nothing grows!


    Several thunderbolts fly past Yan Hanzhou''s ears. At this moment, Yan Hanzhou is stunned. He has never seen such a terrifying creature before.


    What exactly is this thing?


    Why does it have such power?


    Why has no one ever recorded such a powerful thing in the books?


    Li Changqing has no idea that Yan Hanzhou has so many thoughts, nor does he know that the Pikachu he casually carved has given Yan Hanzhou such a great opportunity.


    Li Changqing originally thought that there would be no effect after carving something that doesn''t exist in this world.


    But Li Changqing was completely wrong.


    In the book, there is an elder of the Yan family who, after checking Li Changqing''s token when he entered, respectfully let Li Changqing in.


    "There are really a lot of books here." Li Changqing looked at the countless books on the bookshelves here and couldn''t help but doubt if this place is bigger than the capital library.


    He casually picked up a book from the nearby bookshelf.


    "Records of the States."


    Seeing the name on it, he flipped through it casually. It mainly talked about the customs and practices encountered by a person after traveling through various countries.


    He found several other books, most of which were about martial artists.


    There were also some martial arts techniques.


    These martial arts techniques are only suitable for ordinary people to exercise their bodies. For true martial artists, it''s like playing around.


    In the Cangyuan Realm, there are very few true martial arts inheritances.


    It is not like the world Li Changqing knows, where a strong person tells their disciples the martial arts secret manual, and the disciple can cultivate it.


    The martial arts of the strong are also realized from paintings.


    If they really want to teach their disciples, there is only one way, which is to demonstrate their martial arts in front of the disciples and tell them the insights of the martial arts.


    Then let the disciples comprehend it with the same painting.


    Whether they can comprehend it or not depends on luck.


    Moreover, the same painting, after one person comprehends the martial arts, the artistic conception of the painting will also decrease until it becomes an ordinary painting.


    At that time, if you want to continue preserving the inheritance, you can only find a powerful painter to copy it. Although the effect will be slightly worse, the inheritance can still be preserved.


    Outside the Wan Shu Lou.


    Yan Hanzhou has been here for half an hour. He is sitting cross-legged there, and there are faint electric lights flickering around him.


    And in front of him, there is a small wooden carving floating, and Yan Hanzhou''s consciousness has completely sunk into this wooden carving.


    It''s as if nothing in the outside world has anything to do with him.


    At this moment, several figures hurriedly walked over from a distance.


    The leader is Yan Botao.


    Yan Botao originally didn''t want to disturb Li Changqing here in the Wan Shu Lou, but when he heard about Yan Hanzhou''s situation, he quickly brought people over.


    Several elders of the Yan family also hurriedly followed.


    "Clan Chief, what is that..."


    Several elders saw the wooden carving floating in front of Yan Hanzhou, and their faces changed in shock.


    They naturally know this treasure. Sear?h the n??el Fire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Yan Botao''s son, Yan Yushi, entered the state of enlightenment with this wooden carving and officially stepped into the Transcendence Realm.


    There is even hope to enter the Innate Realm.


    This small wooden carving contains unpredictable power, even more powerful than paintings.


    These elders are also very envious of Yan Yushi''s tiger wooden carving. Today, they actually saw another wooden carving in the hands of a disciple of the Yan family.


    What kind of luck has Yan Hanzhou encountered?


    "Is he Yan Hanzhou?"


    Yan Botao had heard about Yan Hanzhou''s situation before coming. He is also a genius of the Yan family, but he refused to inherit twice when he reached the state of enlightenment. Now, the three-year period is already over, and he is about to leave the Yan family.


    Just as the elders beside him were about to speak, they suddenly saw Yan Hanzhou standing up.


    Then, Yan Hanzhou actually closed his eyes and started practicing boxing.


    This surprised everyone, and they all watched.


    At first, Yan Hanzhou''s boxing technique was awkward and his movements were slow.


    But as he threw punch after punch, his movements became faster and faster, and in the end, afterimages appeared on his fists.


    And at the end of the punches, Yan Hanzhou''s aura surged, and a kind of qi was born from his body.


    Once this qi emerged, his boxing technique instantly sublimated, and the sound of thunder filled the air.


    The meaning of the punches was mixed with the momentum of thunder!


    This directly stunned Yan Botao and the others.


    The boxing technique is ever-changing, as fast as thunder, and the intertwining of speed and strength makes each punch condensed with power.


    What''s more, in just a moment, Yan Hanzhou actually generated internal energy!He directly stepped from the ninth level of the Transcendence Realm into the Postnatal Realm!


    Becoming a true Postnatal martial artist!


    "My goodness, what can I say about this." An elder simply couldn''t believe what he was seeing.


    He knew that Li Changqing''s wood carving was very powerful, but this was too incredible, wasn''t it?


    "What kind of boxing technique is this?" Several people began to guess.


    In their Yan family, there were also people who had comprehended boxing or sword techniques related to thunder, but compared with the boxing technique that Yan Hanzhou was displaying now, they were not worth mentioning.


    Yan Hanzhou''s set of boxing techniques embodied an unpredictable artistic conception.


    It seemed to have many variations.


    Even these old fellows had never seen it before.


    "Huh?"


    After finishing the boxing technique, Yan Hanzhou finally opened his eyes. He was first surprised because he hadn''t noticed the changes in himself. He thought he was just practicing boxing in his consciousness.


    But it seemed that he had actually performed this set of boxing techniques.


    "Patriarch, elders!" Seeing Yan Botao and others nearby, Yan Hanzhou quickly paid his respects.


    "Congratulations, you''ve entered the Postnatal Realm." An elder said with a smile.


    "Me?" Yan Hanzhou was stunned when he heard this, and then he felt a surge of internal energy in his body.


    "I''ve entered the Postnatal Realm!" Yan Hanzhou exclaimed.


    He simply couldn''t believe it.


    Was all this because of that little wood carving?


    What kind of treasure was that?


    "Yan Hanzhou, from today on, you are a core disciple of our Yan family. From today on, the cultivation resources you can receive every month will be ten times more than before. I hope you can practice well and bring glory to our Yan family in the future."


    Yan Botao looked at Yan Hanzhou with a satisfied expression.


    "Thank you, Patriarch!" Yan Hanzhou was so excited that he didn''t know what to say.


    Ten times more than before.


    This was a treatment that other Postnatal disciples of the Yan family didn''t have!


    At the same time, he felt immense gratitude towards Li Changqing!


    However, Li Changqing knew nothing about all this, he was still wandering in the sea of books.

 Chapter 023 – One thought, heaven and earth; one thought, eternity

    Although the Yan family was just a small clan in Changting Town compared to the entire Cangyuan Realm, their collection of books was quite rich for a novice like Li Changqing.


    Li Changqing had never seen such a fascinating world before.


    He immersed himself in the world of books, witnessing all sorts of bizarre events, and learning about many famous powerhouses in the Cangyuan Realm.


    Li Changqing also learned that there was a person standing at the pinnacle of the Cangyuan Realm.


    He was the Lord of the Cangyuan Realm.


    The first person in the Cangyuan Realm.


    An invincible existence.


    Legend has it that the Lord of the Cangyuan Realm lived in the City of the Heavenly Sea, and was the target that countless powerhouses wanted to challenge. Every fifty years, there would be a chance to challenge the Lord of the Cangyuan Realm.


    Whoever could defeat the current Lord of the Cangyuan Realm would become the new Lord.


    And it was said that becoming the Lord of the Cangyuan Realm would grant one an audience with the ''Immortal''.


    However, this was just a rumor. Whether there really were immortals in the world, even those peerless powerhouses standing in the clouds had never seen one.


    The book didn''t write much more than that.


    At the same time, Li Changqing found a book about painters, which was exactly what he wanted to read.


    Martial artists cultivate their bodies, painters refine their souls.


    The stronger a painter''s Divine Soul, the broader the world they can depict.


    The cultivation of the Divine Soul comes from the comprehension of the universe during the process of painting. If one can paint a spiritually infused work, it can enhance the Divine Soul.


    This can be used to strengthen oneself.


    "Could it be that those things I carved also have this effect?" Li Changqing thought of the times when he was carving, and it seemed as if a mysterious power had entered his sea of consciousness.


    Could that be the power of the Divine Soul?


    Li Changqing continued to read.


    The power of the Divine Soul was divided into several realms.


    Entering the Divine, Transforming the Spirit, Divine Power, Throne, Immortal, and Great Freedom.


    There were six realms in total.


    Whether there were higher realms, no one knew.


    A painter with a powerful Divine Soul could change the sky and the earth with a single thought.


    One thought could make one a Buddha, and another thought could turn one into a demon.


    Everything in the world ultimately lies in a single thought.


    One thought to live, one thought to die.


    One could even see through others'' Martial Arts and pick them up casually.


    One could change fate and reverse time. S~ea??h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    As long as your Divine Soul is strong enough, you can do this.


    It was rumored that those who cultivated to the realm of Great Freedom could travel thousands of miles with a single thought, roam the world freely, and be eternally free.


    Reading what was written in the book, Li Changqing was simply shocked.


    People with powerful Divine Souls are so powerful?


    What level is his Divine Soul at?


    Could he be that powerful?


    Wouldn''t painters be invincible then?


    If you can learn others'' Martial Arts just by looking at them, what''s the point of being a martial artist?


    But Li Changqing was clearly thinking too much. While painters could indeed do this, to observe others'' profound Martial Arts and make them their own, one would at least have to reach the level of the Painting Sage.


    So before reaching the so-called realm of the Painting Sage, painters can at most be said to have some magical abilities or self-protection power.


    However, even so, painters were never short of masters around them.


    Befriending a painter had great benefits for them.


    Not to mention being painted, being able to obtain a powerful Painting Treasure was the best enhancement for a martial artist.


    "But why doesn''t it say how to judge the Divine Soul?" Li Changqing flipped through the book but didn''t see how to judge the Divine Soul.


    What level is his Divine Soul at?


    Entering the Divine?


    Or Transforming the Spirit?


    It''s hard to figure out.


    This made Li Changqing a bit anxious.


    If he didn''t know what level he was at and rashly used the power of the Divine Soul to learn others'' Martial Arts, he could easily suffer a backlash.


    Not only would he not learn Martial Arts, but he could also seriously injure himself.


    If he didn''t know what level he was at, how could he learn?


    However, Li Changqing still wanted to try and see what level he had reached. Since it was said that painters could do anything with the power of the Divine Soul.


    He would start with something simple.


    Li Changqing saw a small incense burner not far away, and the incense burner was emitting a fragrance.


    Staring at the incense burner, Li Changqing stretched out his finger, hooked at the incense burner, and said, "Come here."


    With a single command, the incense burner actually...


    Didn''t move at all!!


    "Uh..." Li Changqing was a bit embarrassed, fortunately, no one saw it.


    Otherwise, wouldn''t they think he was crazy?


    "Right, one thought can change the world, but it''s not as simple as saying it. I need to mobilize the power of the Divine Soul." Li Changqing frowned, then tried to feel the power of the Divine Soul in his sea of consciousness.


    It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".


    As he calmed his mind, the whole world seemed to fall silent.


    At this moment, Li Changqing felt as if he couldn''t hear any sound, and his consciousness was in darkness.


    He felt as if this place was a paradise detached from the Cangyuan Realm.


    And after Li Changqing took a few steps, he found a lake in front of him.


    The lake was quiet, and every drop of water was so pure.


    When he saw this lake, he immediately understood that this lake was his Divine Soul power.


    But even after seeing this lake, Li Changqing still didn''t know what level this lake was at.


    Standing in front of the lake, a sense of intimacy naturally arose.


    Li Changqing suddenly felt that every drop of lake water was like his child, they were cheering and jumping for joy.


    It was a joy from the heart.


    And Li Changqing was also moved.


    Each drop of lake water was more like his soldier, waiting for his dispatch.


    At this moment, Li Changqing opened his eyes, looked at the incense burner again, and slowly said, "Come here."


    The incense burner trembled slightly, and the next moment it actually rose into the air and flew towards Li Changqing.


    It was directly caught by Li Changqing.


    "How magical." Li Changqing''s eyes lit up.


    Although he was not a painter, he was a woodcarver, and his Divine Soul was also capable of doing such things.


    If he could retrieve objects from a distance, what else could he do?


    At this moment, Li Changqing was like a child who had discovered a new toy, full of curiosity about everything.


    "If I could reach the realm of Great Freedom, that would be truly wonderful!" Li Changqing couldn''t help but think of what was written in the book.


    To travel thousands of miles in an instant.


    Such a divine ability, not to mention anything else, would allow him to outperform all other delivery guys.


    All the takeout in this city will be mine in the future!


    Unfortunately, it was just a thought. Li Changqing found that he seemed unable to reach such a realm at the moment.


    Even if he reached such a realm, Li Changqing didn''t know how to use it.


    He was like a peerless powerhouse with abundant internal strength, but without knowing any moves.


    He could only explore on his own.


    Just as Li Changqing wanted to continue reading other books, footsteps came from not far away.


    Li Changqing turned his head and saw the elder from the Ten Thousand Books Tower.


    The elder was holding a tray in his hand, with various dishes on it, and said with a smile, "Senior, it''s mealtime. The clan leader instructed me to bring your meal."

 Chapter 024 – Why are there no other paintings?

    "Thank you, I happen to be a little hungry." Li Changqing didn''t even notice that he was hungry.


    Seeing these dishes, he realized that he had forgotten about hunger while immersed in the world of books.


    "The patriarch knows that you like the food from Jinhong Tower, so he specially had someone buy it for you. Take your time to eat, and after you finish, just leave it aside. I will come to collect it later." The elder said politely.


    "Thank you for your trouble." Li Changqing replied without hesitation.


    He found a place to sit and started eating.


    The elder''s expression was somewhat helpless. The Wanshu Tower was an important place in the Yan Residence. Even the young masters and disciples were not allowed to eat here, let alone anyone who would be severely punished for even sneezing.


    Because besides books, there were many precious paintings here that needed to be well protected.


    Someone like Li Changqing, who ate in the Wanshu Tower, was truly the first person in the history of the Yan Residence.


    "So this is the food from Jinhong Tower?" Li Changqing looked at the dishes, and they seemed quite exquisite.


    He remembered that when he first came here and ate at a small stall, the stall owner told him that he used to eat at Jinhong Tower. It seemed that Jinhong Tower was the best restaurant in Changting Town.


    But he hadn''t been there since he arrived in this world, so he wanted to try it today.


    Li Changqing tasted every dish, but he found that this so-called Jinhong Tower was nothing special.


    The name sounded impressive, but the food they served was not better than the roadside stalls in his previous life.


    How did it become so famous?


    But when it came to food, Li Changqing wasn''t that picky. As long as it was edible, it was fine.


    After finishing the meal, Li Changqing asked the elder to take the dishes away and continued to look for books to read.


    At the same time, he felt that there was nothing interesting on the first floor, so he went upstairs.


    On the second floor, there were some paintings hanging.


    Li Changqing saw this kind of painting with a spiritual charm for the first time.


    "It seems that these were painted by the painters of this world." Li Changqing looked around and saw dozens of paintings.


    There were weapons and animals.


    "The paintings are indeed better than those painted by the previous Li Changqing." Li Changqing murmured as he looked at the works.


    "Hmm?" Suddenly, Li Changqing felt something was wrong.


    Except for weapons and animals, there were no other types of paintings here. Why?


    "Hey, you!" Li Changqing shouted downstairs.


    "Elder, please tell me if you need anything." The elder hurriedly walked over. Yan Botao had repeatedly instructed that all of Li Changqing''s requests must be fulfilled!


    So he naturally didn''t dare to neglect.


    "It''s nothing, I''m just asking why all the paintings here are only weapons and animals, and there are no others?" Li Changqing asked curiously.


    "Ah?" The elder was clearly stunned by this question. His mind seemed to be unable to process it, and he couldn''t help but ask, "What others?"


    "Other things, like landscape paintings, paintings of spiritual beings, or even portraits." Li Changqing said puzzledly.


    "Elder... Elder, please don''t joke. Painting spiritual beings and the heavens and earth are things that only extremely powerful painters can do! How could our small Yan family possess such treasures?"


    "As for portraits... humans are the masters of all things. Even the Painting Sage wouldn''t dare to easily depict people. How could our Yan family have that?" The elder couldn''t help but smile bitterly.


    He even felt that Li Changqing was making fun of him.


    "Is that so?" Li Changqing was also shocked to hear this.


    Only powerful painters could create such paintings?


    Even the Painting Sage would hesitate to paint people?


    Wait... something''s not right. Didn''t I easily carve a Fahai in the past? How come it''s not possible now?


    "Could it be that the Fahai I carved back then was actually useless, just an ordinary wooden carving? Or is it that wood carvings and paintings are completely different things? They may seem similar, but they are actually not the same. Maybe my wood carvings don''t have these restrictions?" Li Changqing fell into contemplation.


    His path was indeed difficult.


    In this world, there was no such thing as wood carvings. The ones he made were truly unique and had no reference.


    He could only explore on his own.


    Li Changqing continued reading.


    And he read for three whole days.


    During these three days, Li Changqing gained some understanding of the Cangyuan Realm.


    During these three days, the meals were also delivered to the Wanshu Tower.


    The entire Yan Residence was extremely cautious.


    They refused to receive any visitors to avoid disturbing Li Changqing''s reading.


    Yan Hanzhou entered the Postnatal Realm and became a genius of the Yan family, enjoying the best resources. He was even adopted as a son by Yan Botao.


    As for Yan Dongsheng, when he heard that he was being sent to Peizhou, he couldn''t believe his ears.


    But the order had been given, and the next day, Yan Dongsheng was expelled from the Yan family.


    Soon after, an unexpected guest arrived at the Yan Residence.


    Xu Muhai had come.


    Naturally, the Yan family couldn''t afford to neglect Xu Muhai. Others could refuse him at the door, but not Xu Muhai.One of the thirty-six Peak Masters of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, and a powerful figure in the Prenatal Realm, such a status was not something their small Yan family could afford to offend.


    But why had Xu Muhai come again so soon after his last visit?


    "Greetings, Peak Master Mu Haifeng." Yan Botao respectfully addressed Xu Muhai.


    "I have a matter to discuss with you." Xu Muhai, holding a banana in his hand, sprawled out on a chair, eating and speaking, "I came here this time to meet Senior Li Changqing. I don''t know him, but you have met him before. I hope you can introduce me."


    "To avoid any misunderstandings if I were to approach him rashly."


    Saying this, he casually tossed the banana peel aside.


    "Peak Master, you wish to meet Senior Changqing?" Yan Botao raised an eyebrow.


    "Mm, is there a problem?" Xu Muhai casually picked up an apple and started eating.


    "No problem, but we need Senior Changqing''s consent." Yan Botao said with a smile, "I won''t hide it from you, Peak Master, Senior Changqing is currently a guest at the Yan Residence."


    "Oh?" Xu Muhai''s eyes widened at this news. Li Changqing was at the Yan Residence?


    "A few days ago, Senior Changqing came to the Yan family and went straight to the Wan Shu Tower to read. It''s been three days since then." Yan Botao reported truthfully. S§×ar?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Xu Muhai couldn''t help but give Yan Botao a second look. How could he not see that Yan Botao was trying to take advantage of Li Changqing?


    However, Xu Muhai didn''t say anything.


    "When will he come out?" Xu Muhai asked thoughtfully.


    "I''m not sure." Yan Botao shook his head.


    "If Peak Master Mu is in a hurry, why don''t I have someone ask the senior?" Yan Botao asked tentatively.


    "Then have someone inform him." Xu Muhai didn''t dare to wait any longer. Such a powerful figure could possibly spend several years in seclusion, and he couldn''t afford to wait.


    "Alright, I''ll have someone notify him." Yan Botao nodded.


    But just as Yan Botao turned to leave, he stopped and said, "By the way, Peak Master Mu, there have been some strange occurrences at my family''s mine recently. I''m unsure of what to do. I wonder if you could take a look and help us out."

 Chapter 025 – First meeting

    This novel is available on ".


    "What''s the matter?"


    Xu Muhai couldn''t refuse outright at this moment. Originally, he didn''t care about the affairs of such small clans, but since Li Changqing was in the Yan family, he had given the Yan family some face. S§×ar?h the N??eFire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Upon hearing Xu Muhai''s inquiry, Yan Botao quickly handed a letter to Xu Muhai and said hurriedly, "There''s an incident at the southern mountain mine of my Yan family, as written in the letter."


    Xu Muhai casually shook the letter and sat down with a serious expression, wanting to see what was written in it.


    At this time, Yan Botao also quickly arranged for the elders to go to the Wan Shu Lou and ask for Li Changqing''s opinion on whether to meet Xu Muhai.


    Xu Muhai looked at the contents of the letter.


    However, as the contents of the letter gradually deepened, a solemn expression appeared on Xu Muhai''s face.


    In the southern mountain mine, many miners from the Yan family had seen a falling star, and then they fell unconscious.


    However, when they woke up, they found that they had aged by more than ten years.


    Some young people had directly become middle-aged.


    And the middle-aged had become old with white hair.


    Even the elders who resided there had encountered such a situation.


    Not only did they lose their lifespan, but their cultivation also decreased by half.


    Their originally perfected acquired realm had now only reached the seventh level of the Transcendence Realm.


    In addition, several villages near the southern mountain mine also experienced strange incidents like this.


    For a while, people were in panic, and even the miners scattered. The entire southern mountain mine had come to a halt.


    This made the people of the Yan family anxious.


    Although they were anxious, they couldn''t find the reason. Even Yan Botao and the others had never seen such a bizarre incident.


    After Xu Muhai finished reading the letter, he casually put it aside, closed his eyes slowly, and murmured, "Could it be..."


    Wan Shu Lou.


    "Great Worshipper." The elder of the Yan family came to Wan Shu Lou and saw Li Changqing reading a book. After hesitating for a while, he could only go forward and greet him.


    "Did you call me?" Li Changqing came back to his senses at this moment and saw that it was someone from the Yan family, so he politely asked, "Is there something you need?"


    "It''s like this." The elder quickly approached and respectfully said, "Someone wants to see you, Great Worshipper. May I know if you are available?"


    "See me?" Li Changqing was taken aback. Who wanted to see him?


    "Do I know them?" Li Changqing asked in surprise.


    "I think... we haven''t met before, right?" The elder guessed. After all, if they had met before, there would be no need for the Yan family to introduce Xu Muhai to Li Changqing. Xu Muhai would have gone to find Li Changqing himself.


    Li Changqing shook his head. "Then I won''t see them."


    If he didn''t know them, why should he meet them? He hated socializing the most.


    "Ah..." The elder didn''t expect Li Changqing to refuse so decisively. He was the Peak Master of Dao Mountain Ancient Land!


    Countless forces couldn''t even meet him if they wanted to.


    So the Yan family elder couldn''t help but say, "Great Worshipper, the person who wants to see you is Mu Haifeng, the Peak Master of the thirty-six peaks of Dao Mountain Ancient Land. Are you really not going to see him?"


    "Wait a moment." Li Changqing raised his eyebrows.


    Dao Mountain Ancient Land?


    Wasn''t that the sect where his obedient son was cultivating?


    How could he not see him?


    His son was studying there, and if someone came to visit, wouldn''t he be ostracized at school?


    "Let''s go, take me to see him quickly." Li Changqing quickly put the book back on the shelf and said anxiously.


    The teacher had come, and he had to make arrangements properly. Otherwise, what would be his son''s future?


    "I''ll lead the way." The elder quickly said.


    Xu Muhai, who was waiting in the Yan family hall, was also a little anxious.


    Would such a powerful person be willing to see him?


    "Ah." Xu Muhai suddenly slapped his forehead as if he had done something stupid.


    "Mu Haifeng, what are you doing?" Yan Botao looked at Xu Muhai in surprise and asked.


    "I should have taken the initiative to wait at the entrance of Wan Shu Lou for the senior to come out. How could I let him come to see me? I really made a mistake." Xu Muhai regretfully said.


    "Take me to Wan Shu Lou." Xu Muhai quickly said.


    But as soon as Xu Muhai finished speaking, a loud voice came from outside, "The Great Worshipper has arrived."


    "He''s here!" Yan Botao smiled and said, "It seems that the Peak Master doesn''t need to go anymore. Senior Changqing has already arrived."


    "Great Worshipper?" Xu Muhai looked at Yan Botao strangely. How could the small Yan family deceive such a powerful person into becoming their worshipper?


    If that was really the case, wouldn''t the Yan family soar to the sky?


    But now was not the time to ask this question. Xu Muhai stood up and patted his already not-so-clean clothes.


    At this moment, Li Changqing walked in.


    This was the first time Xu Muhai had seen Li Changqing, and how should he describe his impression?


    A very ordinary person.


    He seemed like an unsuccessful scholar, giving Xu Muhai a plain feeling. He didn''t seem like an extraordinary expert at all, and Xu Muhai couldn''t sense any fluctuations of divine soul from Li Changqing''s body.


    Dao Mountain Ancient Land also had powerful painters, and Xu Muhai could feel a kind of oppressive divine soul from them, a feeling of integrating heaven and earth, where heaven and earth belonged only to them.


    But Li Changqing didn''t have any of that. He was just an ordinary person.


    And Li Changqing''s first impression of Xu Muhai was that Dao Mountain Ancient Land was really poor.


    How could the Peak Master dress like a beggar? It seemed like his clothes hadn''t been washed for a long time.


    If even the Peak Master lived such a difficult life, could his eldest son even have enough to eat in Dao Mountain Ancient Land?


    Has he become malnourished and emaciated?


    Xu Muhai didn''t look like a Peak Master at all. Li Changqing found it more convincing to call him a beggar elder.


    "Li Changqing." Li Changqing stepped forward and greeted with a fist.


    "Xu Muhai." Seeing Li Changqing greet him first, Xu Muhai also hurriedly responded politely.


    Although Li Changqing didn''t give him the impression of being a superior person, Xu Muhai was still very respectful.


    Not to mention the wooden carving that Li Changqing gave to the Yan family before, which shocked him greatly, it was a treasure beyond his knowledge.


    Take Yan Dongchen''s Prenatal Realm, for example, he was instantly killed when he entered the Changqing painting boat, which was not something ordinary people could do.


    "I''ve heard a lot about you." Li Changqing quickly said, "I heard that you are the Peak Master of Dao Mountain Ancient Land. My son is also a disciple of Dao Mountain Ancient Land. So, you should be his school leader. My son is naughty, and I''m sorry for the trouble he has caused you."


    "Huh?" Xu Muhai was stunned.


    What is a school leader?


    But Xu Muhai could also get a general idea, and quickly responded politely, "Li Hengsheng is a very good disciple in my Dao Mountain Ancient Land. I didn''t expect him to be the son of Elder Changqing. I just found out recently, so I came to visit."


    "Sure, sure, please sit down." Li Changqing quickly invited Xu Muhai to sit down.


    Yan Botao, who was standing by, saw that the two were about to talk, and very tactfully walked to the door.

 Chapter 026 – No, my child cannot become bad anymore!

    "This time, besides visiting Senior Li Changqing, I also have something to consult with Senior Li Changqing." Xu Muhai said seriously.


    "Go ahead." Li Changqing listened attentively.


    Regardless of how Xu Muhai dressed, at least the attitude of this school leader made Li Changqing feel good.


    He was polite and well-spoken, so Li Changqing didn''t have to worry about his child being influenced negatively in such a place.


    Thinking back to his past life, he had gone to great lengths, even selling his own blood, just to send his son to a good school.


    After arriving at the school, he faced the principals who looked down on him because he was just a carpenter.


    There was no basic respect.


    During festivals, the class teacher even required offerings, otherwise, they would easily be moved to another seat.


    Just for the sake of his child''s education, Li Changqing had sold his most precious piece of wood.


    Even so, his son still turned out to be a disappointment.


    Just thinking about it gave him a headache.


    Now that he had a new life and a filial son, Li Changqing didn''t want to repeat the same mistakes.


    He must provide his child with a good learning environment.


    And a bright future.


    "Senior should know about the recent arrival of the Ghost Cultivation in our Minghong Prefecture, right?" Xu Muhai''s voice became low.


    After all, Li Changqing had killed Yan Dongchen, so Xu Muhai guessed that Li Changqing must know.


    "I know." Li Changqing nodded.


    Li Hengsheng had specifically written a letter to remind him about this matter.


    As expected.


    Xu Muhai nodded inwardly. It was indeed Li Changqing who killed Yan Dongchen.


    "This matter is somewhat related to my son, but don''t worry, it''s not a big deal." Xu Muhai quickly reassured.


    "Hmm?" Li Changqing was taken aback. It had something to do with his son?


    Discover the complete story on pawread dot com. S~ea??h the N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Li Changqing wasn''t very clear about what the Ghost Clan was, but in his understanding, the name Ghost Clan didn''t sound like something good.


    It had something to do with his son?


    Could it be that his son was going astray?


    In Li Changqing''s understanding, weren''t these just delinquents from outside school coming to meet his son?


    They wouldn''t lead him astray, would they?


    "The people who came this time include the Star Palace, Yin Ten Floor, and even the Long Night Ancient Nation." Xu Muhai explained to Li Changqing.


    And there were three groups of delinquents coming to corrupt his son?


    How could this be allowed?


    "Has my son gone with them?" Li Changqing asked anxiously.


    If he went out and got corrupted, it would be unacceptable!


    "No, because their target is not Li Hengsheng, but Li Hengsheng''s junior sister, Lu Qiaoqiao." Xu Muhai briefly explained what happened that day to Li Changqing.


    However, he didn''t go into detail about the Qishan Order.


    "What!" A cold light flashed in Li Changqing''s eyes.


    Not only did those delinquents want to corrupt his son, but they also took away his son''s girlfriend?


    Damn it, this kid was only a few years old, and he was already in a relationship?


    Moreover, in the future, he would have to go find that corrupted girlfriend?


    A scene appeared in Li Changqing''s mind.


    His son diligently studying and practicing in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, about to graduate and reach the peak of his life. But at this time, those delinquents brought Lu Qiaoqiao, the little girl, with them.


    Lu Qiaoqiao had a cigarette in her mouth, tattoos on her arms and neck, and she was holding two children. She beckoned to his son and smiled, saying, "Little brother, sister is back from having fun. I''m tired of it and ready to marry an honest person. I choose you. Let your father prepare a dowry of five million silver."


    Thinking of this, Li Changqing couldn''t help but shudder.


    It was too terrifying!


    "Absolutely not." Li Changqing looked at Xu Muhai with a serious expression and said, "Peak Master Mu Haifeng, this matter cannot continue."


    When Xu Muhai heard Li Changqing say this, he blinked and pondered the meaning of Li Changqing''s words.


    But then Xu Muhai understood. The meaning of not allowing the matter to continue was that it was unacceptable for Li Hengsheng to be bullied by a few members of the Ghost Clan!


    "I understand Senior Li Changqing''s meaning." Xu Muhai nodded and tentatively said, "Actually, the reason I came this time was to seek Senior Li Changqing''s opinion. I want to accept Li Hengsheng as my direct disciple and have him join my Mu Haifeng. I wonder if Senior Li Changqing agrees?"


    "Become your direct disciple?" Li Changqing''s eyes lit up. Although Xu Muhai seemed poor, his character seemed good.


    With such a teacher, what else could he worry about?


    This Xu Muhai would be his son''s class teacher!


    "I agree, I naturally agree. With you as his class teacher, what else do I have to worry about?" Li Changqing quickly smiled and agreed.Class teacher?


    Although Xu Muhai didn''t understand what this meant, at least he knew that Li Changqing had agreed.


    "Alright, Senior Changqing, rest assured that I will take good care of Li Hengsheng in the future. I promise to treat him with sincerity in Dao Mountain Ancient Land and provide him with the best treatment from Mu Haifeng." Xu Muhai quickly tried to curry favor with Li Changqing.


    "The best treatment from Mu Haifeng?" Li Changqing frowned and glanced at Xu Muhai again, sighing lightly.


    In Li Changqing''s view, Xu Muhai was as poor as a dog.


    What kind of best treatment could he offer?


    Could they afford meat once every three days?


    No matter how poor, one should not skimp on education, no matter how hard, one should not let the children suffer.


    Li Changqing decided to earn more money in the future and cultivate his son into a talent.


    Having read many books recently, Li Changqing understood that resources were extremely important for a martial artist who wanted to cultivate strength.


    And the stronger the cultivation, the more expensive the resources required for cultivation.


    "Then I''ll have to trouble the Peak Master." Although Li Changqing somewhat despised Xu Muhai''s poverty, he couldn''t show it.


    Then he said generously, "If my son encounters any problems in his cultivation in the future, I hope you can guide him. If he becomes stubborn, disobedient, or does something wrong, you should scold or hit him as necessary!"


    Upon hearing this, Xu Muhai forced a smile.


    He thought to himself, I have to dare to hit him first.


    If I hit your son, wouldn''t you tear me apart?


    You can defeat Yan Dongchen in one move, do I even count as a dish in your eyes?


    "I didn''t bring anything to give you when we first met, and considering the conditions at home... hehe, this is a little trinket I made myself. If you don''t mind, keep it as a memento. It might be useful sometimes."


    As he spoke, Li Changqing fumbled in his sleeve for a moment and handed a wooden carving to Xu Muhai.


    "Here it is!"


    Xu Muhai had been looking forward to this magical wooden carving for a long time.


    If he said that he had no ulterior motives in accepting Li Hengsheng, it would be impossible.


    Li Hengsheng''s aptitude was so poor that it was hard for him to even enter the outer gate, let alone meet the standards of a direct disciple. But Li Hengsheng had a good father!


    And this magical wooden carving!


    Xu Muhai had been stuck at his current level for a long time and naturally wanted to find an opportunity to break through. Li Changqing''s wooden carving was his hope.

 Chapter 027 – Wooden tripod

    "Is this for me?" Xu Muhai''s heart was filled with excitement.


    Although he asked with his mouth, Xu Muhai''s hand couldn''t help but reach out for the wooden carving.


    "This is..." Xu Muhai''s heart shook when he saw the wooden carving in his hand. It turned out to be a tripod!


    "Tripod!"


    Seeing this thing, a hint of shock appeared in Xu Muhai''s eyes, and his gaze towards Li Changqing became somewhat intriguing.


    "Don''t you like it?" Li Changqing looked at Xu Muhai''s expression and thought that he didn''t like it. He immediately wanted to touch something else in his sleeve.


    "No, no, it''s not that I don''t like it. I''m just surprised. Senior Changqing, you have actually seen a real tripod!" Xu Muhai took a deep breath.


    Holding the small wooden tripod in his hand, it felt like he was holding a priceless treasure.


    "Have you never seen one before?" Li Changqing frowned. Wasn''t a tripod a very rare thing?


    "I have naturally seen a tripod before," Xu Muhai said with a bitter smile. "But the tripods I have seen are completely different from this wooden carving made by Senior Changqing."


    "In the Cangyuan Realm, the tripod is a very ancient vessel that inherits the power of incense."


    "But later on, the tripods inexplicably disappeared from the river of history, and the tripods made by people now are only similar in appearance, but completely unable to withstand the power of incense. Even the painters cannot truly depict the tripods."


    "So when I saw a tripod that was so naturally formed, I was so surprised."


    Xu Muhai carefully looked at the wooden tripod in his hand, holding it with both hands as if afraid of dropping it.


    There were small characters on the tripod, carved by Li Changqing using a kind of pictographic script that had been used in the previous life.


    As he stared at the characters for a moment, Xu Muhai''s mind shook, and he heard a whispering sound in his ears.


    It was as if a god was speaking in his ear.


    The trembling whispers made Xu Muhai feel as if he was listening to heavenly music! Sear?h the ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Peak Master Xu."


    At this moment, Li Changqing''s voice came, pulling Xu Muhai out of the heavenly music. In the next moment, Xu Muhai was drenched in cold sweat.


    He had unknowingly been attracted by the ancient characters.


    If it were in another place, he would be in great danger, wouldn''t he?


    "What''s wrong with Peak Master Xu?" Li Changqing saw Xu Muhai staring blankly at the wooden tripod he had given him, so he couldn''t help but call out to him.


    "I will always remember your kindness in giving me this treasure!" Xu Muhai took a step back and then bowed to Li Changqing.


    Li Changqing actually gave him such a precious item.


    This made Xu Muhai feel extremely honored!


    In his heart, he also secretly vowed that Li Hengsheng would be treated like his own son from now on.


    The value of this wooden tripod given by Li Changqing was immeasurable!


    "Peak Master Xu, you''re too polite. You are Hengsheng''s homeroom teacher, so this small gift is nothing." Li Changqing quickly said.


    "By the way, there is one more thing." Xu Muhai suddenly frowned and said, "Senior Changqing, why did you inexplicably become the grand worshipper of the Yan family?"


    "Well..." Li Changqing explained the matter of the token to Xu Muhai.


    "The Yan family is quite calculating," Xu Muhai sneered. "Senior Changqing, you don''t need to pay attention to this small Yan family. They are just a small family in Changting Town. With Senior Changqing''s strength, you are like a star among the crowd wherever you go."


    "If Senior Changqing is willing, why not come to the Dao Mountain Ancient Land with me? I can give you an elder position more than enough, and you can see Li Hengsheng anytime you want. Isn''t that great?"


    "Go to the Dao Mountain Ancient Land?" Li Changqing trembled all over and quickly shook his head.


    No way.


    He didn''t bring his memories with him. It was fortunate that he could write a letter out of the blue. If he really had contact with Li Hengsheng, it was very likely that his identity would be exposed in minutes.


    After being reborn and finally experiencing what it felt like to have a filial son, he didn''t want to lose it so soon.


    So Li Hengsheng must not be seen for the time being.


    Otherwise, it would definitely be exposed.


    "I won''t go to the Dao Mountain Ancient Land." Li Changqing pondered and said, "Also, I hope you don''t mention anything about me to Hengsheng."


    "Huh?" Xu Muhai seemed a little confused. "Are you saying..."


    "Yes, he doesn''t know that his father is an extraordinary expert, nor does he know that I have the skill of wood carving. I''m doing this just to let him rely on his own efforts and not depend on me to become a playboy. I have put so much effort into this, do you understand?"


    Find the original at " ".


    After listening, Xu Muhai nodded in agreement.


    But Xu Muhai was also a little puzzled. He was clearly an extraordinary expert, yet he was so low-key, so low-key that even his own son didn''t know how powerful he was and was sent to the Dao Mountain Ancient Land to suffer.


    It was a bit strange, wasn''t it?


    Looking at Xu Muhai''s expression, Li Changqing looked him up and down and smiled, "You haven''t married yet, so perhaps you don''t quite understand."


    "Senior is amazing. You know that I haven''t married yet!" Xu Muhai said admiringly.


    "I not only know that you haven''t married yet, but I also know that you are still a virgin," Li Changqing smiled.


    "Senior is amazing!" Xu Muhai became more and more admiring of Li Changqing.


    "I didn''t expect Senior Changqing''s divine soul to be so powerful that you can feel the stability of my essence and blood and see through me from a distance. You are truly an extraordinary expert," Xu Muhai thought to himself.


    On the other hand, Li Changqing shrugged. What was so amazing about that?


    Just look at how you dress.


    Looking so poor, which woman would be blind enough to sleep with you?


    "Senior, rest assured, I will definitely not mention this matter to Li Hengsheng," Xu Muhai promised.


    Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, but he also felt that what Xu Muhai said made sense. He should have a high value. The Yan family wanted to bind him to their family with a broken token.


    It was a bit delusional.


    In his previous life, Li Changqing was obsessed with wood carving. He seemed to be honest and straightforward in his daily life, but in reality, Li Changqing was not stupid.


    He could understand many problems with just a little thought.


    And he had the capital to fight for his interests.


    "Chief Yan." Li Changqing called out to Yan Botao outside.


    "Senior Li Changqing." Upon hearing Li Changqing call him, Yan Botao hurriedly walked in. Had these two big shots finally finished their conversation?


    "I have been under your care these past few days at the Yan family, thank you." Li Changqing said in a calm and indifferent tone.


    "Senior Li Changqing, you are too polite." Yan Botao quickly replied, "Your great kindness to my Yan family, and your favor to my son Yan Yushi, are much more valuable than this. Your visit to my Yan family to read books is nothing."


    "In that case, my favor to the Yan family has been repaid. Please take back this token." After saying that, Li Changqing placed the token of the great offering on the table.

 Chapter 028 – Dont you fly there?

    "This..."


    Yan Botao''s face changed dramatically when he saw Li Changqing returning the token.


    Yan Botao had originally planned to use this token to bind Li Changqing to the Yan family''s carriage. With such a powerful deity sitting in the Yan family, the future was immeasurable.


    But he didn''t expect Li Changqing to return the token.


    "Elder Yan, your plan was good, but can your small Yan family afford a powerhouse like Li Changqing?" Xu Muhai shook his head.


    "Master Mu Haifeng is right." Yan Botao was truly desperate at this point.


    Indeed, he had been daydreaming from the beginning.


    Li Changqing, a master of wood carving, was even stronger than his paintings. Such a person could go anywhere, so why would he stay in his small Yan family?


    "You can stay in the Yan family as the Grand Offering." At this moment, Li Changqing tilted his head and looked at Yan Botao.


    Yan Botao and Xu Muhai looked at Li Changqing in surprise.


    Was there a turning point in the situation?


    "But I won''t work for free. Since I am the Grand Offering of the Yan family, I should be compensated, right?" Li Changqing stared at Yan Botao.


    His son, Li Hengsheng, needed money now.


    Xu Muhai, this poor guy, was definitely not to be relied upon. The Yan family seemed to be wealthy, so he should first get a large sum of money for his son.


    "Of course!" Yan Botao agreed without hesitation.


    What was money?


    With money, could they hire such a powerful expert?


    "Elder Changqing, please wait a moment." Yan Botao immediately left the Yan family hall.


    "Elder Changqing, are you really going to stay?" Xu Muhai also felt incredulous and said, "Isn''t it a bit... to stay in this small Yan family?"


    "Hengsheng needs to cultivate, so I naturally have to earn money for his cultivation." Li Changqing sighed lightly.


    They were both doing it for their children.


    "Elder Changqing, you don''t have to worry about that anymore. I''m here!" Xu Muhai patted his chest confidently. "With my support, Li Hengsheng won''t lack cultivation resources, right?"


    Seeing Xu Muhai''s confident expression, Li Changqing pondered for a long time and felt that while he was earning money for Li Hengsheng, he should also donate some money to Mu Haifeng from time to time.


    He was afraid that one day Xu Muhai would starve to death on the mountain.


    "Thank you, Master Xu. It''s enough to have this intention. What you give is what you give, and what I give is my heartfelt gift to my son." Li Changqing didn''t directly say it.


    "Alright." Xu Muhai nodded.


    Not long after, Yan Botao returned. His eyes were filled with a solemn expression. "Elder Changqing, as long as you are willing to be the Grand Offering of the Yan family, you will receive fifty percent of the profits from all of the Yan family''s businesses."


    "Fifty percent?" Li Changqing''s eyes lit up.


    Sharing fifty percent of the Yan family''s earnings?


    Wouldn''t that make him rich?


    The Yan family was one of the top families in Changting Town, and their financial resources were definitely abundant.


    It seemed like his son would have enough money for cultivation.


    "Alright, I agree." Li Changqing didn''t refuse and agreed directly.


    Saying that, Li Changqing took back the token from the table.


    Seeing this scene, Yan Botao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then he became even more excited. The Yan family had truly attached themselves to a powerful figure.


    Although Yan Botao didn''t know how strong Li Changqing really was, he was at least at the Innate level, right?


    Then, Yan Botao explained the entire Yan family''s industries to Li Changqing.


    After Li Changqing finished listening, he was somewhat surprised. "The only profitable business for the Yan family is the few mines?"


    "I''ve seen that the Yan family has many industries in Changting Town. Don''t they make any money?" Li Changqing asked in surprise.


    "Grand Offering, among the families in Changting Town, the Bai family''s restaurants are the most profitable. Seventy percent of the restaurants in Changting Town belong to the Bai family, including the Jin Honglou that you like to eat at, which is also owned by the Bai family."


    "The cloth and silk businesses belong to the Zhao family. Although our Yan family also has industries, they are clearly not as good as theirs."


    "The other industries have been divided up, and our Yan family''s industries can only maintain a small profit."


    Saying that, Yan Botao brought the account books and directly showed them to Li Changqing. S§×arch* The Nov§×l?ire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Curiously, Li Changqing opened them and took a look. Indeed, the monthly profits were not much, except for the income from the mines, which was quite good.


    The Yan family earned four to five hundred thousand taels of silver every month from the mines.


    "This month, there''s something wrong with the income from the mines..." Li Changqing suddenly noticed that something was off with the income from the mines this month.


    "I was just discussing this with Master Mu Haifeng. Something strange has happened in the mines, so it has been affected." Yan Botao glanced at Xu Muhai discreetly.


    "Yes, something strange seems to have happened there. Since it''s within my jurisdiction in Minghong Prefecture, I plan to go and take a look later." Xu Muhai nodded.


    "I''ll go too." Li Changqing closed the account books and said seriously.


    "Elder, you''re going too?" Xu Muhai''s eyes lit up. If Li Changqing was with them, then this matter was almost certain to succeed, right?


    "It''s delaying me from making money, so of course I have to go and take a look." Li Changqing squinted his eyes.


    What exactly was it that caused him to earn so much less money this month!"Uh." Xu Muhai left Li Changqing speechless, he didn''t expect Li Changqing to be such a money-grubber.


    It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".


    With such a father, Li Hengsheng must be truly blessed, right?


    "So, we set off tomorrow morning?" Xu Muhai couldn''t help but ask.


    "Why not go now?" Li Changqing, fearing that delay may bring trouble, thought it would be better to resolve it sooner.


    "Alright, with our speed, we should be able to reach Nanshan Mine by evening." Xu Muhai nodded.


    "Run there?" Li Changqing''s eyes widened.


    "How else would we go?" Xu Muhai looked at Li Changqing curiously.


    "Uh." Li Changqing felt a bit awkward. He didn''t know how to do anything, yet Xu Muhai and Yan Botao kept addressing him as a senior.


    If he admitted his incompetence, wouldn''t his image as a master collapse?


    Without the image of a master, would Yan Botao fire him?


    Xu Muhai might also stop respecting him, and might even start ignoring his son.


    So, he couldn''t show weakness.


    "Cough, it''s nothing. I just remembered, your cultivation level is low and you can''t fly. In that case, let''s run." Li Changqing said with a poker face.


    "Senior, can you fly?" Xu Muhai was shocked.


    "It''s rumored that some can fly by controlling a powerful force, but is it true?" Yan Botao also looked at Li Changqing with admiration. "I wonder how far senior can fly?"


    "How far one can fly depends more on external factors. You haven''t reached that level yet, knowing too much won''t do you any good." Li Changqing bluffed, he didn''t want to dwell on this topic any longer.


    "External factors?" Xu Muhai and Yan Botao looked at each other, suddenly enlightened. Could it depend on the strength of the force?


    However, in Li Changqing''s heart, he muttered: "How far I can fly depends on how fast the car that hits me is going¡­"

 Chapter 029 – Snow Feather Zen Wind Mantra

    "Senior Li Changqing, let''s set off now," Xu Muhai said. "I have some guesses about the situation over there, but I''m not sure if they''re correct. I''ll need Senior Li Changqing''s guidance when the time comes."


    "We shouldn''t delay any longer, let''s go," Li Changqing said, though he felt helpless in his heart.


    Guidance? What do I know?


    I don''t know anything.


    You can go seek guidance in the ditch.


    By the way, how far is it to the Nanshan Mine?


    Why run there? Wouldn''t it be better to take a carriage? Li Changqing looked at Xu Muhai''s figure, which was not particularly slim, and guessed that he should be able to keep up with his running speed.


    After all, since coming to the Cangyuan Realm, this body was much younger than in his previous life, and his physical fitness had also improved significantly.


    With this body, Li Changqing felt that he could run 100 meters in less than ten seconds.


    Anyway, let''s first go to the Nanshan Mine, or else it will delay my earnings for milk powder.


    Furthermore, after returning, Li Changqing thought that the Yan family should reorganize properly. How can they rely solely on the mine to make money?


    If other businesses can earn more, then his income will also increase.


    With money, his son can cultivate well, become a strong cultivator, and have confidence in facing society in the future.


    Other sects will also recruit and offer high positions and salaries, or it would be good to stay in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Staying behind and becoming a Peak Master, he shouldn''t have to worry about food and drink for the rest of his life, right?


    But when Li Changqing looked at Xu Muhai beside him, he sighed lightly. If possible, it would be better to work in another sect.


    "Senior Li Changqing, shall we go now?" Xu Muhai said to Li Changqing.


    "Let''s go," Li Changqing nodded.


    "Be careful, both of you," Yan Botao quickly reminded, especially Li Changqing. He didn''t want anything to happen to Li Changqing right after he became the Yan family''s offering.


    "Don''t worry," Xu Muhai regained his lazy demeanor and said, "With me and Senior Li Changqing here, what could go wrong?"


    Yan Botao nodded.


    Among the thirty-six Peak Masters in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Xu Muhai''s strength could rank in the top three, and he was also well-known among the innate cultivators.


    Not to mention the mysterious and unpredictable Li Changqing.


    "Senior Li Changqing, shall we go?" Xu Muhai said, then he stomped on the ground with his foot, and his figure instantly soared into the air like an arrow leaving the bow!


    That slightly chubby figure had already moved dozens of meters away in the blink of an eye!


    Li Changqing was dumbfounded on the spot!


    This speed is too fast, right?


    Even Usain Bolt couldn''t catch up with him!


    How am I supposed to run?


    In the span of a few breaths, Xu Muhai had already soared hundreds of meters into the air. His speed was even faster than the lightness skills in movies and TV dramas.


    "Senior Offering, what''s wrong with you?" Yan Botao saw that Xu Muhai had already left, but Li Changqing hadn''t moved at all, which made Yan Botao feel a little strange.


    "Nothing."


    Li Changqing didn''t even look at Yan Botao, then took a deep breath. S§×arch* The N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    His figure instantly leaped forward, leaving behind an afterimage in the original spot. In the blink of an eye, Li Changqing caught up.


    "Senior Offering, your footwork is really fast!" Feeling the speed like a gust of wind, Yan Botao took a cold breath.


    When Xu Muhai left just now, Yan Botao already felt that it was very fast, but Li Changqing''s speed was even faster than Xu Muhai''s.


    Truly a master.


    When Xu Muhai left just now, Li Changqing used his powerful Divine Soul to observe Xu Muhai''s footwork.


    Because Li Changqing remembered that the Painter''s cultivated Divine Soul could comprehend martial arts with a single thought.


    As long as the opponent''s martial arts proficiency was completely within the range of your Divine Soul, you could comprehend it with a single thought.


    So Li Changqing just tried it out and unexpectedly succeeded.


    With a leap of his body, Li Changqing''s miraculous footwork was displayed, and he moved as fast as a startled swan, astonishingly fast.


    "It''s really..." Li Changqing had only taken two steps and already completely adapted to this footwork.


    It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.


    Although he was a little scared at first, at this moment, there was only excitement in Li Changqing''s eyes.


    When has he ever experienced such a life?


    Which man hasn''t had a martial arts dream?


    At this moment, his lightness skill was exactly what he had dreamed of when he was young. He just didn''t expect to be able to achieve it today.


    Moreover, Li Changqing''s speed was even faster than Xu Muhai''s.


    With just a few steps, stepping on the roofs of some buildings along the way, Li Changqing''s figure instantly surpassed Xu Muhai.


    Xu Muhai saw something zoom past him and in an instant, it had created a distance between them.


    "So fast!" Xu Muhai was greatly surprised. He wasn''t surprised that Li Changqing''s footwork was faster than his, but he was surprised that Li Changqing was using his footwork.


    It was the Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique, one of the several profound footwork techniques in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land!


    It was comprehended by the ancestors of the Dao Mountain Ancient Land from a snow scene painting.


    "Senior Li Changqing, slow down, wait for me," Xu Muhai shouted from behind when he saw Li Changqing getting farther and farther away.


    "Ah." Li Changqing only noticed that he was having too much fun and had left Xu Muhai behind.


    "And you call yourself a master?" Li Changqing said speechlessly.


    I just learned it and I''m already faster than you.


    Li Changqing became even more worried about whether Xu Muhai could handle taking care of Li Hengsheng.


    This person''s cultivation level is not good either.


    He''s not even as good as a beginner like me.At this moment, Li Changqing''s figure stood still at the top of the Yanfei Tower in Changting Town. With a light tap of his toes, his body was as light as a feather. However, no matter how fierce the wind blew, it could only make his clothes flutter, while his body remained immovable.


    Li Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping around, and immediately a sense of boundless heroism swept over him.


    Is this the view that those masters see?


    No wonder so many people want to cultivate, want to become strong, because the scenery seen after becoming strong is really different.


    At this time, Xu Muhai also caught up.


    "Senior Changqing, please slow down a bit, I can''t keep up." Xu Muhai said with a wry smile.


    At this moment, Xu Muhai recognized the gap between himself and Li Changqing. In his view, Li Changqing''s speed could rank among the top in the entire Cangyuan Realm.


    "Alright, I''ll slow down a bit, let''s continue on our way." Li Changqing''s mentality had changed at this time.


    From a mediocre person who had no ambition and only wanted to make money to support his family, a seed of desire to stand at the peak sprouted in his heart.


    Li Changqing had long understood the principle of survival of the fittest, but this was the first time Li Changqing looked at this sentence from the perspective of the strong.


    Even Xu Muhai seemed to sense some changes in Li Changqing''s aura at this moment.


    That kind of change made Xu Muhai a little surprised, a little familiar, but also very strange.


    Meanwhile, Xu Muhai was pondering in his heart. He originally wanted to investigate some of Li Changqing''s background by relying on the body technique Li Changqing used.


    But he didn''t expect that Li Changqing did not use his own proficient body technique, but instead imitated the Snow Feather Zen Wind Mantra from Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Indeed, Senior Changqing must have a past that is unknown to others, right?

 Chapter 030 – Nanshan Mountains

    Being able to easily see through Xueyu Chanfeng Jue and directly use it for himself, in Xu Muhai''s view, Li Changqing''s Divine Soul must have reached the level of the Painting Sage.


    Painting Sage!


    But they are the top group in the Cangyuan Realm. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It can be said that any Painting Sage in the Cangyuan Realm is a well-known existence, even a sneeze can shake the entire region.


    Their cultivation is unfathomable, combining the strengths of various schools and displaying ever-changing techniques.


    Such people are like gods in the eyes of ordinary people.


    The paintings of the Painting Sages are extremely rare and valuable treasures.


    So in Xu Muhai''s view, Li Changqing must have an indescribable past. Otherwise, how could a master at the level of a Painting Sage lower himself to join a small family like the Yan family?


    Moreover, he completely hides his techniques, fearing that others will see through his origins.


    Xu Muhai sighed lightly.


    Even if his cultivation reached the level of a Painting Sage, he still had to submit to fate?


    Li Changqing had no idea that Xu Muhai was watching his back and had already imagined a hundred and twenty episodes of a melodramatic TV series in his mind.


    If he knew, Li Changqing would definitely be speechless.


    The reason he didn''t use any body techniques was simply because he didn''t know any.


    If he hadn''t learned Xu Muhai''s Xueyu Chanfeng Jue, he wouldn''t even have been able to escape from the Yan family''s gate.


    As evening approached, the two finally arrived in the Nanshan region.


    "Senior Changqing, we''re here." Xu Muhai and Li Changqing stood on an ancient tree, looking ahead.


    The continuous mountains were majestic and tall. Although the sun was setting, the scenery had a unique charm.


    Clouds still lingered on the mountaintops, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of the dense forest.


    "The Yan family''s two mines are here." Xu Muhai introduced, "In these mountains, there are nine valleys and eighteen villages, hundreds of small and large villages."


    On the way here, Li Changqing also heard from Xu Muhai about the strange incidents that occurred here.


    It was said that many people saw meteors falling from the sky and fainted. When they woke up, they found that their lifespan had decreased.


    The miners ran away, and even if they were given more money, no one would come.


    The matter was too sinister.


    Even one of the elders of the Yan family had his cultivation sucked away and was now only at the Transcendence Realm.


    What kind of sinister thing was this?


    After listening, Li Changqing regretted coming.


    If this terrible thing happened, he might become an old man when he returned.


    "Do you have an answer in your heart?" Li Changqing asked Xu Muhai.


    "Probably." Xu Muhai nodded. He did have a guess, but he didn''t dare to be certain.


    "Senior should already have a plan, right?" Xu Muhai looked at Li Changqing seriously. In his opinion, Li Changqing should have already known such a trivial matter.


    "Yes." Li Changqing, with his big radish face, nodded without blushing or turning pale.


    "Please enlighten me, Senior." Xu Muhai''s eyes lit up and he quickly said.


    "It''s similar to what you''re thinking." Li Changqing said seriously.


    "And also, don''t call me ''Senior'' all the time, just call me by my name."


    "This..." Xu Muhai was stunned. How could he directly call Li Changqing by his name when he was such a great expert?


    "If you''re not used to it, you can call me Brother Changqing." Li Changqing nodded and said.


    Before Xu Muhai could say anything, Li Changqing pretended to be profound and said, "I don''t know if you''ve noticed, but this thing is hidden in the Nanshan Mountains and is still here."


    We are "pawread dot com", find us on google.


    Xu Muhai looked towards the forest, "Bro... Brother Changqing, have you figured out something?"


    "The wind blows in the mountains, but there are no sounds of animals."


    "That''s enough to explain everything." Li Changqing said slowly.


    "It''s true." Xu Muhai didn''t notice it just now. Normally, he should have heard a few bird calls, but there was nothing.


    "Let''s go in and take a look."


    Since they had come, Li Changqing could only brace himself and go in.


    He could only hope that Xu Muhai would be able to solve the problem at a critical moment. If Xu Muhai couldn''t solve it, Li Changqing wasn''t afraid, he would just run away.


    After all, Xu Muhai couldn''t run faster than him.


    If there really was some monster, Xu Muhai''s size would at least allow him to distract the monster for a while, enough for Li Changqing to escape.


    Although he felt sorry for Xu Muhai, Li Changqing had already planned what words to carve on his tombstone.


    Xu Muhai had no idea at all. Even before they entered the Nanshan Mountains, Li Changqing had already figured out what words to carve on his tombstone.


    After entering the mountain, the two also found that there were no traces of birds or animals in the entire forest.


    It was as if they were all hiding.


    Before long, the sky darkened, and the two saw a fire in the distance and headed towards it.


    They discovered that it was a village.


    The village was not small, probably consisting of two to three hundred households.


    As the two entered the mountain village, the villagers didn''t show much hostility towards Li Changqing and Xu Muhai, but many children curiously looked at them.


    "The atmosphere here is quite good. Isn''t it said that some evil spirit is causing trouble here, making everyone afraid to come out?" Li Changqing said somewhat puzzled.


    "Brother Changqing, let''s find someone to ask." After saying that, Xu Muhai was ready to find someone to ask casually.


    "Who are you?" At this moment, a sharp voice sounded.


    Xu Muhai and Li Changqing followed the voice and saw a young man standing on a roof, holding a sword and looking at them solemnly.


    The young man exuded a heroic aura, dressed in white, and his precious sword hung at his waist.


    "We''ve never seen you before. You''re not from the village. What are you doing here?" After the young man finished speaking, he leaped down from the roof.


    He looked at Xu Muhai and Li Changqing warily.Xu Muhai looked at the young man in front of him, sizing him up and down, and said with a faint smile, "Judging from your attire and the scent of medicinal herbs on you, if I''m not mistaken, you must be a disciple of the Medical King Valley, right?"


    Upon hearing this, the young man did not let his guard down. His long sword was already unsheathed, "Who exactly are you?"


    Such is the way of the world.


    Drawing swords at the slightest disagreement, ready to kill at a moment''s notice.


    Li Changqing looked at the young man, but said nothing. He was already prepared, planning to keep his distance when the fight broke out.


    To avoid getting splattered with blood.


    "Mind your manners." Just as the tension was about to erupt, a voice as clear as a silver bell rang out.


    This was the most pleasant voice Li Changqing had heard since he arrived in the Cangyuan Realm.


    The voice seemed to cleanse the soul, penetrating deep into one''s heart.


    A figure floated in the air, it was a woman.


    She was also dressed in white, her eyes twinkling like stars, as if a fairy had descended to the mortal world.


    "Master." The young man quickly sheathed his sword and spoke respectfully.


    "If I''m not mistaken, you must be Xu Muhai, the Peak Master of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, right?" The woman walked slowly, each step filled with mystery, as if she was treading on a green lotus.

 Chapter 031 – Song Fairy

    The person was like a warm spring breeze, making people temporarily forget the tension in this dangerous Nan Mountain range.


    Li Changqing couldn''t help but sigh as he watched. He used to say that there were many beautiful women in novels, beautiful like celestial beings. He didn''t expect it to be true when he saw one. It wasn''t an exaggeration at all.


    Her figure was graceful, every part of her body was just right, like a work of art.


    But Li Changqing just admired her briefly and had no thoughts about such a woman.


    First, Li Changqing habitually felt that he was not worthy of such a beauty.


    Second, Li Changqing didn''t have the intention. The feeling of powerlessness when his wife passed away in his previous life was still deeply ingrained in his memory.


    Now he just wanted to raise his son well, cultivate him into a talented person, and didn''t think about anything else. Even in the ordinary world, there were too many helpless things. In this world of immortals, how well could he do?


    Li Changqing didn''t want to experience that pain again.


    "Qinglian Shadow?" Xu Muhai looked at the woman''s body technique and then clasped his fists, saying, "To be able to cultivate Qinglian Shadow to such a level at such a young age in the Medical King Valley, you must be Mu Qingge, who is known as the Song Fairy in the Medical King Valley."


    "Xu Daoist friend actually knows me, it is truly my honor," Mu Qingge said with a light smile.


    "This is my disciple. He just offended you earlier. I hope Xu Daoist friend can forgive him," Mu Qingge looked at the young man beside her and helplessly said, "He is clearly a disciple of my Medical King Valley, but he insists on practicing swordsmanship and always carries a sword with him, which is really troublesome."


    "Younger generation Yin Changli, I have seen the senior," the young man quickly greeted.


    After Yin Changli and Xu Muhai finished speaking, they glanced at Li Changqing beside Xu Muhai. Although they didn''t know Li Changqing, since he could come here with Xu Muhai, he might also be a strong person from Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Seeing Yin Changli bowing, Li Changqing also nodded.


    "It seems that Xu Daoist friend also feels the extraordinaryness of this Nan Mountain, so you came here," Mu Qingge asked Xu Muhai, although Mu Qingge also saw Li Changqing beside Xu Muhai, she didn''t sense any true element fluctuations from Li Changqing.


    He was just an ordinary person, probably a follower of Xu Muhai, so there was no need to greet him.


    "Yes," Xu Muhai nodded, and he was a bit curious, "It is normal for people from Dao Mountain Ancient Land to appear in this Nan Mountain, but why did your Medical King Valley appear here?"


    "My master came to find medicine." Before Mu Qingge could speak, Yin Changli spoke first.


    "Talkative," Mu Qingge shook her head helplessly.


    "Your Medical King Valley is the authentic medical sect in the Cangyuan Realm. It is rumored that there is a divine medicine in the sect that can revive the dead. Does the Medical King Valley lack any medicinal materials?" Xu Muhai was a bit surprised.


    "Since Xu Daoist friend asked, I won''t hide it," Mu Qingge asked, "Have you heard of the Three Lives Flower?"


    "Three Lives Flower?" Xu Muhai''s heart moved, "Isn''t that just a legend?"


    "It''s not just a legend, there are people who have truly seen it. It is said that someone in this world has truly seen the Three Lives Flower, and that person is the Painting Sage, Gu Hanxi." Mu Qingge said seriously.


    "Painting Sage?" Li Changqing, who was eating melon seeds on the side, became interested when he heard this title.


    Most of the top-notch painters in the world were called Painting Saints.


    The title of Painting Sage was mentioned in the book. Only the strongest painter in the world had the qualification to be called Painting Sage.


    It seemed that this Gu Hanxi was once the number one painter.


    "Our Medical King Valley recently obtained a painting from the Painting Sage, which is precisely the Three Lives Flower. Unfortunately, the painting has lost its spirituality, but it also proves that the Painting Sage has seen the Three Lives Flower."


    "It is rumored that the last time the whereabouts of the Painting Sage was known to the world was in this Nan Mountain range, so I brought my disciple here to try our luck."


    Mu Qingge remained calm, as if she had no expectations of finding the Three Lives Flower.


    "After coming here, we happened to encounter some strange things happening in this Nan Mountain, so we stayed here for a few days to see what was going on. In addition, we helped the villagers who had their lifespan taken away to treat their injuries."

    "The Three Lives Flower is only a legendary item, and the Painting Sage Gu Hanxi is a figure from a hundred years ago. It is not easy to find the Three Lives Flower," Xu Muhai said, "As for the strange things this time, does the Song Fairy have any clues?"


    "It is rare for lifespan to be taken away," Mu Qingge pondered and said, "In the records of our Medical King Valley, there have been similar cases before, most of which were related to the Ghost Clan."


    "For example, there was once a powerful member of the Ghost Clan who used a method to absorb life essence, but the situation of these villagers is not like that. They seem to have their true element taken away, but they are just ordinary people without true element, so their lifespan was taken away."


    Listening to Mu Qingge''s description, Li Changqing listened with great interest.


    Absorbing true element?


    That means absorbing internal energy.


    Isn''t that the same as the martial arts in martial arts novels, such as the Absorbing Star Technique or the North Sea Divine Art?


    If he recalled those scenes from TV dramas, could he cultivate those martial arts?


    Li Changqing''s eyes lit up. He could give it a try.If I could truly learn it, then I would have some self-protection power in this Cangyuan Realm.


    Thus, Li Changqing began to recall scenes from TV dramas he had watched in his previous life, such as Duan Yu performing Beiming Divine Skill in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils.


    From the Chen Haomin version to the Lin Zhiying version, he even recalled a few bad films that followed.


    However, his Divine Soul had no reaction at all.


    It seems it''s still not working.


    Li Changqing felt that he was still daydreaming.


    After all, TV dramas are all special effects, they are all for visual effects, how could they be performed in reality?


    Li Changqing then recalled the content of the novel.


    He could only recall some scattered fragments, because he really couldn''t remember clearly, and the novel was written in a style similar to classical Chinese, it was already very good that he could recall some.


    After a while, there was still no reaction.


    Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge had been chatting for a while, but Yin Changli on the side was eager to speak.


    "Peak Master Xu." Yin Changli finally found an opportunity to speak, and quickly said excitedly, "Can... can I visit the Dao Mountain Ancient Land?"


    Xu Muhai looked at Yin Changli in surprise, the young man''s eyes were shining.


    "Of course, we naturally welcome disciples from the Medical King Valley." Xu Muhai nodded and said.


    This novel is available on ".


    "You." Mu Qingge''s eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness, and said, "Have you gone stupid from practicing the sword?"


    "Master, I heard that the Qianxue Sword Sovereign''s swordsmanship in Dao Mountain Ancient Land is unparalleled in the world, I really want to see it."


    "I... I want to challenge him!" Yin Changli said excitedly.


    "Pfft!" Xu Muhai almost spat out a mouthful of blood.


    Challenge Xue Qianbai?

 Chapter 032 – The book is not as good as it seems when you need it

    Just with your little Transcendence Realm?


    "Peak Master Xu, don''t underestimate me, my goal is to become the number one Sword Immortal in the world! I believe I can do it." Yin Changli said with a determined face.


    "Become a Sword Immortal, my foot!" As soon as the bold words came out, Mu Qingge next to him reached out and hit him on the head.


    "Ouch, Master, you hit my head again, it will make me stupid." Yin Changli looked at Mu Qingge with a grievance.


    "If you become stupid, I''ll cure you!" Mu Qingge said irritably: "You are my disciple from the prestigious Medical King Valley, with the Xuanmu body, instead of studying medicine seriously, you want to practice sword all day, what''s wrong with you?"


    Being scolded so fiercely by Mu Qingge, Yin Changli was also aggrieved.


    Xu Muhai also smiled. A young man like Yin Changli naturally has some youthful spirit and bold aspirations.


    Who wasn''t like this when they were young?


    "Brother Changqing, let''s find a place to rest first." Xu Muhai called to Li Changqing, who was sitting cross-legged on a bluestone in the distance.


    But Li Changqing didn''t move, as if he hadn''t heard Xu Muhai speaking.


    Xu Muhai was also surprised. Could it be that Li Changqing was practicing?


    "Who is this..." Hearing Xu Muhai call Li Changqing as Brother Changqing, Mu Qingge knew that Li Changqing should be more than just Xu Muhai''s follower.


    So Mu Qingge asked curiously: "Is he also from Dao Mountain Ancient Land?"


    "Brother Changqing is not from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, he is just my friend." Xu Muhai smiled.


    He didn''t say much, because since Li Changqing didn''t speak, Xu Muhai didn''t say much either.


    Mu Qingge took a deep look at Li Changqing. He seemed to be just an ordinary man, nothing special. She felt it again, but she still didn''t feel any fluctuations of true essence on him.


    It seems that a martial artist''s friend could also be an ordinary person.


    "Daoist Xu, since you are here, my disciple and I will leave tomorrow." Mu Qingge smiled: "After all, with you here, the villagers can be safely protected. As for their lost lifespan, I am really powerless."


    "Master, are we leaving? Since we are here, shouldn''t we visit Dao Mountain Ancient Land?" Yin Changli said anxiously.


    "What Dao Mountain Ancient Land." Mu Qingge raised her hand to hit again, and Yin Changli quickly covered his head to dodge.


    But Mu Qingge''s punch didn''t fall.


    Xu Muhai also smiled and said: "Little guy, if you want to challenge Qianxue Sword Sovereign, your current strength is not enough. Wait until you become stronger in the future, then come to challenge."


    "My name is Yin Changli, not little guy." Yin Changli said with a puffed up face: "I know I am not a match for Qianxue Sword Sovereign now, but I really want to see Qianxue Sword Sovereign''s Thunder Ling Thirteen Swords!"


    "I heard that although Qianxue Sword Sovereign is from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, he has not comprehended your Dao Mountain Ancient Land''s Five Absolute Seals, and specializes in swordsmanship, which has led to his current realm, so I don''t want to waste time on medicine..."


    As he was speaking, Yin Changli shivered all over. He seemed to feel the uncontrollable anger from Mu Qingge beside him.


    So he quickly shut up.


    "Hahaha." Xu Muhai laughed: "Your master said, you have the Xuanmu body, it would be a pity if you don''t study medicine with such a physique, and it''s not necessary to specialize in swordsmanship to become a powerful sword cultivator."


    Hearing Xu Muhai say this, Yin Changli was still muttering something in a low voice. Obviously, neither of them could dissuade Yin Changli from practicing the sword.


    At this moment, Li Changqing, who was sitting cross-legged on the bluestone, suddenly opened his eyes.


    There was light in his eyes. He never thought that although he couldn''t extract martial arts from TV dramas, he actually extracted a martial art from the description in the original novel he remembered!


    At this moment, Li Changqing really regretted, understanding what it meant to hate less when the book is used.


    If he had read books seriously and studied hard in the past, wouldn''t he have become a martial arts master now?


    Unfortunately, he couldn''t remember the descriptions of martial arts in the original novels he had read before.


    But it''s better than nothing, don''t be greedy, having one kind of self-defense is better than none.


    "Huh?" At this moment, Li Changqing suddenly looked up at the night sky.


    "Brother Changqing, are you awake?" Xu Muhai came over, and Mu Qingge brought Yin Changli towards this side. Mu Qingge was a little curious about who this ordinary man was, who could be called a brother by Xu Muhai.


    Li Changqing didn''t speak, just staring straight at the dark night sky.


    "Brother Changqing, what''s wrong with you?" Xu Muhai looked up curiously, but there was nothing in the sky.


    Li Changqing frowned and said, "I feel something is coming."


    "Something?"


    Hearing this, Mu Qingge also looked up, but like Xu Muhai, she saw nothing.


    "Could it be that thing is coming?" Xu Muhai''s expression became serious.


    Li Changqing''s Divine Soul is powerful, completely incomparable to their martial artists, so it''s normal for Li Changqing to feel something coming that they can''t feel.


    "There''s nothing, uncle, are you still sleepy?" Yin Changli also said curiously.


    "It''s getting closer." Li Changqing stood up, his eyes fixed in that direction.


    "Be on guard."


    Xu Muhai also said seriously.


    ```Seeing Xu Muhai also saying so, Mu Qingge became serious as well.


    After about ten breaths of time, a tiny golden light point unexpectedly appeared in the sky, rushing towards the village like a falling star.


    "The disaster star is here!"


    At this moment, the villagers also saw the golden falling star. Everyone''s faces were filled with fear, because they knew that every time this golden star appeared, they might lose their lifespan, aging by decades.


    The villagers were in chaos, rushing home.


    "It really is here." Mu Qingge was shocked.


    What shocked her was how Li Changqing knew this thing was coming from so far away.


    From the time Li Changqing said this thing was coming, to its appearance, it took more than a dozen breaths of time.


    Both she and Xu Muhai, who were experts in the Prenatal Realm, were completely unaware.


    Who exactly is this person?


    The speed of the golden light became faster and faster. When it reached above the village, it was heading straight for Mu Qingge.


    Like a meteor strike.


    Mu Qingge displayed the Lotus Shadow Trace, lotus blossoms appearing under her feet as she quickly retreated. At the same time, she waved her palm, and several silver needles flew out, like a pear blossom in a storm, directly bombarding the golden light.


    But the golden light was incredibly swift, dodging in the blink of an eye.


    "Divine Step!"


    Xu Muhai''s figure also rushed towards the golden light like a ray of light, his speed even faster than before.


    At the same time, Xu Muhai suppressed it with a handprint. S§×arch* The N?vel(F)ire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Lock Yuan!"


    The palm filled with true essence blasted out, seemingly wanting to seal everything.


    But the speed of the golden light was too fast. Even with Xu Muhai''s speed, he was still a bit slower.


    With one palm strike, even the ground was blasted into a deep pit.


    But the golden light had dodged to a distance.


    And as the golden light stopped, everyone could clearly see what was inside the golden light.

 Chapter 033 – Golden Silk Linlang Beast

    That was a Spirit Beast, its body shrouded in golden light, half-crouching on the ground, baring its teeth and snarling at Xu Muhai and his companions.


    It probably hadn''t expected to encounter such troublesome opponents while hunting today.


    The moment Xu Muhai made his move, it sensed danger.


    If it weren''t for its speed, it would have been in a bad state after taking Xu Muhai''s palm strike. After that strike, it knew better than to mess with the chubby man.


    "This is..." Mu Qingge stepped forward, frowning, "A Golden Silk Linlang Beast!"


    "Although it''s a Golden Silk Linlang Beast, it''s not a real Spirit Beast, but a Painted Soul." Xu Muhai stared at the Spirit Beast as he spoke.


    "Painted Soul?"


    Mu Qingge took a closer look and couldn''t help but exclaim, "Indeed!"


    Only Li Changqing was somewhat confused on the side. Sear?h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    What Golden Silk Linlang Beast?


    It sounded so grand.


    Wasn''t this just a dog?


    A golden retriever, to be exact.


    They were everywhere in his previous life, so why did it suddenly have such a grand name in the Cangyuan Realm?


    "What is a Painted Soul?" Li Changqing hadn''t read about it in books, but he was curious and wanted to ask.


    But if he asked, Xu Muhai would definitely suspect, how could a master like me not know what a Painted Soul is?


    "Master, what is a Painted Soul?" At this moment, Yin Changli, who was following behind Mu Qingge, couldn''t help but ask out of curiosity.


    "Good lad, you have potential." Li Changqing couldn''t help but send an appreciative glance at Yin Changli.


    "This Golden Silk Linlang Beast is not a real Spirit Beast, but a painting. As for the Painted Soul, it''s the Golden Silk Linlang Beast that was born from the painting and gained spirituality, hence its current form."


    Mu Qingge chuckled, "Now I understand why the villagers were losing their lifespan."


    Xu Muhai nodded, "This Golden Silk Linlang Beast is probably the masterpiece of some powerful being. After gaining spirituality and going through who knows how many years, its spirituality began to wane, and so the Painted Soul ran out of the painting."


    "It replenishes its spirituality by hunting others'' cultivation and lifespan."


    Xu Muhai was still somewhat surprised, "The Painted Soul that was born actually has the cultivation of the Innate level. It might be the work of a painting immortal from a previous generation, or even possibly Gu Hanxi''s."


    "Gu Hanxi!" Mu Qingge''s eyes lit up at these words, "This means that Gu Hanxi might have really appeared here."


    "Maybe, we might even find clues to the Three Lives Flower." Xu Muhai laughed, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "But first, we need to capture this Painted Soul."


    "If we can capture this Golden Silk Linlang Beast and have the master of the Floating Image Building in my Dao Mountain Ancient Land find a way to seal its dissipating Spiritual Power, wouldn''t that add a great force to my Dao Mountain Ancient Land?"


    "But Xu, we in the Medical King Valley also want this Painted Soul." Mu Qingge also said with a smile.


    "Peak Master Xu, is this thing valuable?" At this time, Li Changqing, who had been examining the golden retriever, couldn''t help but speak.


    "Valuable?" Xu Muhai was taken aback when he heard this description. It was the first time he had heard someone describe a Painted Soul as valuable.


    Didn''t Li Changqing know the value of a Painted Soul?


    But then Xu Muhai understood. Li Changqing didn''t follow the path of painting, but had carved out his own path called wood carving. It was understandable if he didn''t know about Painted Souls.


    "Brother Changqing, this Painted Soul can''t be bought with money, especially this Golden Silk Linlang Beast. It''s a rare Spirit Beast to begin with, let alone possibly being the work of a painting immortal. So, it''s an absolute treasure."


    "Having an Innate-level Spirit Beast by your side makes many things convenient. Even when fighting others, it can greatly enhance your strength, right?" Xu Muhai''s eyes were shining, as if the Golden Silk Linlang Beast was already in his bag.


    "The disciples of my Medical King Valley are not as strong as those of your Dao Mountain Ancient Land. It would be best if this thing followed me." Mu Qingge clearly wasn''t willing to give in, she also wanted it.


    "Innate-level combat power..." Li Changqing stroked his chin, staring at the golden retriever, and muttered to himself, "If this thing follows my son, wouldn''t he not even be afraid of Innate martial artists?"


    "He would be safe!" Li Changqing looked at the golden retriever, no, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast, and also began to look forward to it.


    "Song Fairy, let''s capture this thing first, and then discuss other matters. This thing is too fast. If we want to catch it, we''ll have to put in some effort." Xu Muhai stretched his neck.


    "Alright." Mu Qingge waved her hand, and in an instant, dozens of silver needles floated in front of her.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast also sensed the dangerous aura and watched the two warily.In the next moment, both of them made their move.


    With the divine step technique, Xu Muhai''s speed was astonishingly fast. His figure dragged out several afterimages, and at the same time, his body was filled with surging true essence. On his palm print, a series of runes emerged.


    "Freeze!"


    Accompanied by a soft shout, the runes on Xu Muhai''s palm print instantly transformed into a gigantic palm print, even larger than the one he had previously cast, descending like a sky-covering eclipse.


    The crushing pressure of the four-layered light pattern gave off a sense of despair.


    Xu Muhai''s strength was evident.


    "Xu Daoist friend''s Five Absolute Seals are so powerful, you''ve actually cultivated to the fourth realm of immobilization." Mu Qingge exclaimed in surprise.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast let out a low growl, its figure once again transformed into golden light, miraculously escaping from Xu Muhai''s attack. Its speed was even faster than before.


    At the same time, its sharp claws tore through the air, with a momentum akin to splitting a mountain.


    "Indestructible!"


    Xu Muhai roared, his body enveloped in golden light. At the same time, he threw a punch, directly colliding with the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    With the Indestructible Body Protection, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast didn''t harm Xu Muhai at all. At the same time, it was also repelled by Xu Muhai in an instant.


    "Good opportunity." Seeing the Golden Silk Linlang Beast being repelled, Mu Qingge, who had been waiting for the right moment, finally made her move.


    Dozens of silver needles in her hand swiftly flew out. Surprisingly, these needles were entwined with threads, and in the blink of an eye, they interwove into a net behind the Golden Silk Linlang Beast. At the same time, Mu Qingge pointed her finger, and the numerous silver needles aimed for the major acupoints on the body of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    "Good fellow, Invincible East?" Li Changqing was taken aback.


    Whether it was Xu Muhai''s Five Absolute Seals or the Medical King Valley''s Taiyi Mysterious Needles, Li Changqing found them all very powerful.


    "Whoosh!"


    At this moment, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast actually raised its head and flew towards the sky. What shocked everyone even more was that the Golden Silk Linlang Beast had actually grown a pair of wings!


    A golden-furred beast growing wings, such a bizarre event was truly the first time Li Changqing had seen it.


    It was absolutely outrageous.

 Chapter 034 – Little guy, borrow my sword for a moment!

    "Escape!" Xu Muhai was anxious, stomping his foot on the ground, his body soaring into the air.


    He leaped up, trying to catch the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    However, the speed of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast was too fast. Even with his divine steps, Xu Muhai found it difficult to capture.


    "Hmph!"


    Her silver needles couldn''t keep up with the speed of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast, which obviously made Mu Qingge somewhat dissatisfied.


    A quick look at /2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.


    With a light hum, Mu Qingge flicked her sleeve, and a scroll of painting flew out.


    The painting scroll opened in the wind, and on it was a cliff covered with dense vines. At this moment, the vines turned into thousands of tentacles extending from the painting, transforming into several ropes to catch the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    "Painting Treasure!"


    Li Changqing''s eyes lit up. He had only read about Painting Treasures in books, and this was his first time seeing one in person.


    "Court Cliff Thousand Vines Picture?" Xu Muhai raised his eyebrows, seemingly recognizing this Painting Treasure.


    The numerous vines flew out at an astonishing speed, directly catching up with the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    They directly blocked the path of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    Seeing its path blocked, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast calmly opened its mouth, spewing out green flames!


    The flames turned into a sea of fire, and the several vines were burned by the green flames, instantly retracting.


    "Soul Fire!"


    Seeing this flame, both Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge couldn''t help but exclaim.


    "This Painting Soul is desperate to escape, using Soul Fire, which is fatal to it, which already has little spiritual energy." Xu Muhai frowned.


    Obviously, after spewing out this flame, the speed of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast slowed down a lot, but the vines also retracted, not daring to approach again. Even Mu Qingge quickly put away the Painting Treasure. Encountering this restraining flame, her "Court Cliff Thousand Vines Picture" could be damaged.


    "Roar." The Golden Silk Linlang Beast roared and turned to flee into the distance.


    "It got away." Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge were somewhat helpless.


    But they could only watch it run, after all, that thing could fly.


    "Master, are we just letting it go?" Yin Changli was also a bit regretful, then seriously said, "Master, if you let me go to Dao Mountain Ancient Land and learn swordsmanship from Qianxue Sword Sovereign, my swordsmanship will be stronger. If I could have helped you just now, the three of us would definitely not let the Golden Silk Linlang Beast escape."


    "Shut up." Mu Qingge said coldly.


    "Uh." Seeing that Mu Qingge was angry, Yin Changli had to obediently walk to the side.


    At this moment, Li Changqing suddenly stepped forward, looking at the increasingly distant golden light in the sky, Li Changqing felt regretful.


    If he could catch this creature as a pet for his son, his son''s safety would be guaranteed.


    Even if he left Dao Mountain Ancient Land in the future and sought a job in another sect, having this Golden Silk Linlang Beast by his side would definitely be a plus during the interview.


    So thinking of this, Li Changqing decided to give it a try.


    "Brother Changqing, you..." Xu Muhai was about to ask Li Changqing what he planned to do.


    After all, Li Changqing came to the southern mountain to help the Yan family solve this problem. Now that the Golden Silk Linlang Beast had run away, the matter of the southern mountain mine could not be ended.


    "Little guy, lend me your sword." Li Changqing looked at Yin Changli.


    "I''m not a little guy, my name is Yin Changli, and I won''t lend my sword." Yin Changli seemed to dislike being called a little guy.


    So he expressed his dissatisfaction and refused to lend his sword to Li Changqing.


    "Thank you."


    Ignoring Yin Changli''s refusal, Li Changqing pointed his finger, and the long sword at Yin Changli''s waist trembled slightly, then flew out with a whoosh!


    The long sword hung in the air, and Li Changqing stepped out, stepping directly on the long sword!


    The next moment, Li Changqing rose into the air on his sword!


    The long sword cut through the night sky, and Li Changqing stood with his hands behind his back, like a supreme Sword Immortal, chasing after the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    Everyone present was stunned by this scene.


    Li Changqing''s smooth movements and heroic posture were completely unlike that of a silent ordinary person.


    At this moment, he was soaring in the sky, with thousands of mountains and rivers flying past under his feet, a sword breaking through the night, standing above the sky.


    His figure was simply unbelievable.


    "Brother Changqing can really fly..." Xu Muhai stared at this scene like a wooden chicken.


    Mu Qingge was also greatly shocked!


    This man can fly?


    Isn''t he an ordinary person?


    He must be an unparalleled master, but the gap between her and him was too big, so she had no qualifications to perceive his realm!


    "Holy shit!"


    Yin Changli''s eyes widened, and he almost bit his tongue.


    Sword Immortal!


    This is definitely a Sword Immortal.


    Otherwise, how could he achieve sword flight?Li Changqing didn''t care about the shock he had brought to them. All he wanted now was to catch this golden beast and make it a bodyguard for his son.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast felt something chasing it from behind. When it turned its head, it was startled. It didn''t expect that this human could actually control a sword.


    The two of them, one in front and one behind, were like a meteor chasing. Sear?h the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Stop struggling, stay with me. Be a pet for my son. I won''t treat you badly. How about three meals of meat and bones every day?" Li Changqing said with a smile.


    However, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast was not willing to listen. It flapped its huge wings and flew even faster.


    At this moment, Li Changqing reached out his hand and grabbed at the void!


    A claw mark blasted out, accompanied by a dragon roar that echoed through the heavens and the earth.


    "Dragon Seizing Hand."


    With a light shout from Li Changqing, a huge dragon claw descended from the void above. Its speed was extremely fast, and the pressure it brought was overwhelming!


    The body of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast trembled. It didn''t have much spiritual power to begin with. Facing this Dragon Seizing Hand, it had no ability to resist and was directly caught in the dragon claw by Li Changqing.


    However, this scene shocked Xu Muhai and the others greatly.


    "Dragon claw..."


    "What kind of martial arts is this?"


    Mu Qingge and Xu Muhai were completely dumbfounded. They had never seen this kind of martial arts. To comprehend this kind of martial arts, one would have to study from a painting of a dragon.


    But the dragon is a divine beast.


    Throughout the thousands of years, no one has ever heard of anyone who could paint a dragon on Dragon Island. So where did this Dragon Seizing Hand come from?


    "I caught it."


    Under Li Changqing''s palm, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast was trembling.


    It was completely intimidated by the dragon aura brought by Li Changqing''s Dragon Seizing Hand.


    Seeing such an obedient golden beast, Li Changqing also showed excitement. He didn''t expect that among the countless martial arts he had recalled, none of them were successful.


    Only this Dragon Seizing Hand was successful.


    What made Li Changqing feel a bit regretful was that if he could learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, wouldn''t it be better?


    "Brother Xu, who exactly is this senior?" Mu Qingge swallowed and asked incredulously.


    "I don''t know how to explain." Xu Muhai found that he really didn''t understand Li Changqing at all.


    It was too mysterious.


    Even if Li Changqing had displayed martial arts, he still didn''t know where this mysterious and powerful Li Changqing came from.

 Chapter 035 – Nanshan Secret Realm

    Li Changqing held the Golden Silk Linlang Beast by the neck, as if he was holding a dog, and returned on his long sword.


    He lightly jumped down from the sword, casually threw the Golden Silk Linlang Beast aside, and said, "Behave yourself, don''t run around."


    It was strange that the Golden Silk Linlang Beast, at this moment, showed a timid look in its eyes when facing Li Changqing. It lay on the ground, completely like an obedient dog.


    Li Changqing shook his sleeve, and the long sword flew out directly. With a clang, it returned to Yin Changli''s scabbard.


    A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.


    "Little guy, thank you." Li Changqing said satisfactorily, "It''s really a good sword."


    "Eh." Yin Changli hadn''t recovered from his stupor. Li Changqing''s smooth and flowing movements had really impressed him.


    This was the sword immortal in his heart.


    Walking on the sword, controlling the sword with a wave of his hand, killing enemies thousands of miles away.


    If this wasn''t a sword immortal, what was?


    "Brother Changqing, you really opened my eyes." Xu Muhai looked at the Golden Silk Linlang Beast on the ground, which was as obedient as a dog, and didn''t know what to say.


    "Senior, Mu Qingge didn''t know your identity just now and was negligent. Please forgive me." Mu Qingge also stepped forward and spoke generously.


    Being called a senior by such a beauty, Li Changqing felt awkward, as if he had become an uncle to Mu Qingge.


    "Don''t call me senior, you can call me Daoist friend like you call Peak Master Xu." Li Changqing said.


    "Daoist friend Changqing." Mu Qingge nodded seriously, her gaze at Li Changqing completely different now.


    Just based on Li Changqing''s flying sword technique just now, Mu Qingge had some guesses.


    Li Changqing was probably not a martial artist.


    He was likely a painter.


    And his realm was not low, he was likely a powerful existence at the level of the Painting Sage.


    But there were not many Painting Sages in the Cangyuan Realm, so why didn''t this person have any fame?


    Could he be a hidden powerhouse?


    "Peak Master Xu, could you take this golden-haired, oh no, Golden Silk Linlang Beast to Hengsheng when you return to Dao Mountain Ancient Land? With it protecting Hengsheng, at least his safety would be guaranteed." Li Changqing pointed to the Golden Silk Linlang Beast beside him.


    "Eh?" Xu Muhai shook his head when he heard this, "I don''t recommend doing that."


    "One reason is that Li Hengsheng''s cultivation is still very weak, he has just started his cultivation journey, and this Painting Soul is already at the Prenatal Realm. Although it is obedient in your hands, Brother Changqing, it may not be so easy to control in Li Hengsheng''s hands."


    "It might even hurt Li Hengsheng."


    "Furthermore, the path of a martial artist is inherently dangerous. If he relies on such a thing, he might find it hard to achieve anything."


    "If one day Li Hengsheng steps into the Prenatal Realm, it might be okay to have this Golden Silk Linlang Beast by his side." Xu Muhai analyzed for Li Changqing.


    Li Changqing frowned and pondered upon hearing Xu Muhai''s words, "That''s true, with this thing, that kid won''t study hard." sea??h th§× N?vel(F)ire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Then I''ll keep this thing for now." Li Changqing reached out and touched the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast didn''t dare to move, it looked at Li Changqing with wide eyes, as if it was afraid that Li Changqing would erase it.


    "Daoist Xu, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast that we couldn''t catch together is as obedient as a dog in Daoist Changqing''s hands, it''s really a bit demoralizing." Mu Qingge gave a bitter smile, "I rarely leave Medical King Valley, I didn''t expect that there are always people better than oneself, and there are always higher skies beyond the sky."


    "Song Fairy, but thanks to Brother Changqing catching this Golden Silk Linlang Beast, there might be news of the Three Life Flower." Xu Muhai stared at the Golden Silk Linlang Beast and said.


    "That''s right." Mu Qingge suddenly realized.


    Li Changqing squatted on the ground, stroking the Golden Silk Linlang Beast, and said with a smile, "You little thing, I didn''t expect you could fly. How about I give you a name, Fei?"


    "Ow." The Golden Silk Linlang Beast let out a soft howl, as if it didn''t object.


    "Then Fei, lead us to your lair." Li Changqing looked up at Xu Muhai and said, "Since this Painting Soul appeared here, there should be a place with this Golden Silk Linlang Beast''s painting, right? Maybe there are other things."


    "That''s what I mean." Xu Muhai nodded, "It''s possible that there is a secret realm in this southern mountain."


    "A secret realm?" Mu Qingge couldn''t help but say, "If there really is a secret realm, it might have been left by a Painting Immortal."


    "A secret realm?" Li Changqing wasn''t confused when he heard this word, because such things were common in novels, so he could understand.


    Li Changqing''s heart was also excited.


    He didn''t expect to encounter such exciting things not long after coming to this world, and he had become a master.


    There might be many treasures in the secret realm waiting for him to find. With the treasures, he could sell them directly for his son to cultivate.


    "Fei, lead the way." Li Changqing ordered.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast didn''t dare to delay and quickly got up and ran towards the distance.


    "We follow it."


    Several people followed behind the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    "Elder Li, Elder Li, aren''t you flying anymore? You can borrow my sword!" Yin Changli followed behind, his excited little face flushed as he shouted at Li Changqing.


    "You little rascal." Mu Qingge said speechlessly, "On normal days, you can''t wait to snatch your precious sword back even if I touch it. Now, why are you offering it to others?"


    "And if Elder Li flies, what about us? Can we keep up?"


    Mu Qingge gave Yin Changli a hard stare, feeling that she might not be able to keep this disciple.


    He insisted on going to Dao Mountain Ancient Land to see Xue Qianbai.


    Now, his idol has directly become Li Changqing.


    What a fickle man.


    Li Changqing was performing the Snow Feather Zen Wind Technique, light as a feather at the front. Hearing these words, he just turned back and smiled, "Little guy, your sword is a good one. Keep it well. I think you have the potential to become a sword immortal in the future."


    "Really?" Yin Changli was extremely excited.


    "Can''t you tell it''s just a polite remark?" Mu Qingge was speechless.


    Everyone followed the Golden Silk Linlang Beast and ran south for the time of two incense sticks. Only then could they vaguely see a canyon ahead.


    "Splash."


    At the same time, the sound of a river flowing came from the hollow canyon. What they saw was a long river flowing through the canyon.


    The river was turbulent and fast. If an ordinary person fell in, they would be swept away in minutes.


    Who would have thought that at this moment, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast would dive headfirst into the river.


    "Could the entrance be in the river?" Xu Muhai looked at the turbulent river and said.


    "Let''s go in and find out." Mu Qingge said.


    Li Changqing was in a dilemma. He couldn''t swim!

 Chapter 036 – He has been here

    The river is so turbulent, if I jump in, I won''t drown, but I''ll be swept away by the current, won''t I?


    What should I do?


    It would be too embarrassing to admit that I can''t swim at this moment. Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Just as Li Changqing was pondering what to do, Yin Changli suddenly blurted out anxiously, "Master, I can''t swim!"


    "Good lad!" Li Changqing couldn''t help but glance at Yin Changli, suspecting that Yin Changli might be his real son.


    "No worries." Xu Muhai waved his hand, and a palm print instantly suppressed down.


    "Freeze!"


    With a single word, the raging river beneath the palm print froze instantly. At the same time, the palm print created a huge pit in the river, reaching the riverbed.


    The surrounding water stopped flowing.


    Such a miraculous technique greatly shocked Yin Changli.


    "The Five Absolute Seals of Dao Mountain Ancient Land truly live up to their reputation." Mu Qingge also sighed.


    "We should hurry in, I''m afraid it won''t hold for long." Xu Muhai urged.


    "Let''s go!"


    Without hesitation, they stepped into the deep pit.


    Li Changqing took a deep breath and jumped in.


    Li Changqing hadn''t expected the riverbed to be so deep, probably sixty meters. If an ordinary person jumped in, they would either drown or die from the fall.


    Looking up at the frozen river above his head, Li Changqing''s heart pounded. If Xu Muhai''s Five Absolute Seals couldn''t hold, and the river collapsed, he would be swept away and die here.


    But the moment they all landed on the riverbed, in the pitch-black bottom, they could see a rockery with a dark cave entrance. The Golden Silk Linlang Beast was waiting for them there.


    Seeing them arrive, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast was the first to crawl into the cave.


    "Be careful." Mu Qingge reminded, her silver needle ready in her hand, prepared to act if anything went wrong.


    Xu Muhai also nodded solemnly.


    They entered the dark cave, which was winding and narrow.


    Li Changqing, Mu Qingge, and Yin Changli were fine, but Xu Muhai, who was slightly overweight, had a hard time moving.


    After a long and winding journey that lasted half an incense stick''s time, Li Changqing finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.


    "We''re out." Li Changqing stepped out of the narrow cave entrance.


    The scene that greeted him was astonishing.


    There was indeed a huge cave here, so deep that the bottom was not visible.


    Just the part of the cave in front of them was about the size of two football fields.


    Various glowing stones were embedded in the top of the cave, illuminating the entire cave so it wasn''t dark at all.


    What surprised Li Changqing even more was that this place was clearly under the river, but there was not a drop of water.


    All over the ground were various kinds of broken weapons and armor.


    Swords, spears, halberds, everything was there.


    They were scattered all over the ground, surrounded by piles of rotten wooden racks, as if these things had been placed here before and had been rummaged through.


    "It seems someone has been living here in seclusion." Xu Muhai and the others also came out and couldn''t help but comment on the situation.


    "Master, this place looks like a treasure vault. There are many divine weapons and armors, but it''s a pity that they''re all decayed." Yin Changli picked up a sword.


    The sword should have been a good one, but it was broken.


    Even the tassel was rotten.


    "Because it''s been too long, very few divine weapons can remain intact for so many years." Mu Qingge explained.


    "It seems someone came here before us and rummaged around." Xu Muhai walked over and saw several torn scrolls lying on the ground not far away.


    The scrolls had lost their spiritual energy, and one could vaguely see that they depicted several spirit beasts.


    "The spirit beasts in these paintings should have been guarding this place. Someone came and disturbed this place, then fought a great battle with the spirit beasts in the paintings, and finally left." Xu Muhai speculated.


    "It seems that the Golden Silk Linlang Beast is the only surviving spirit beast from the paintings." Mu Qingge also wanted to go over and take a look, but after only two steps, she stepped on something.


    Looking down, it was a red bead.


    "This is..."


    She picked up the red bead and found it to be very new, not like something from this cave.


    "Red Water Stone?" Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow, "Red Water Stones are only found in the Cloud Wasteland, how could it appear here?"


    Hearing this, Xu Muhai also came over and looked at the red bead. He seemed to think of something and quickly looked around on the ground.


    "What are you looking for?" Seeing Xu Muhai''s reaction, Mu Qingge asked curiously.


    "This." Xu Muhai walked a few steps forward and picked up a rusty iron box. Inside the box, there was a square-shaped hole where something was missing.


    "What is this?" Mu Qingge asked in surprise.


    We are "pawread dot com", find us on google.


    "Something here was taken away." Xu Muhai took a deep breath, "The person who came here was Yan Dongchen from Yin Shilou. He took the Qishan Order from here, killed several spirit beasts from the paintings, and was probably injured by the Golden Silk Linlang Beast, which forced him to leave."


    "The Qishan Order has appeared?" Mu Qingge said in surprise."Hmm." Xu Muhai nodded, then sneakily glanced at Li Changqing not far away.


    Li Changqing was still looking at the things in the hall with interest, completely ignoring what they were saying.


    This left Xu Muhai quite puzzled.


    In Xu Muhai''s view, it was somewhat unreasonable for Li Changqing to give the Qishan Order to his son, Li Hengsheng.


    Entrusting the Qishan Order to a small warrior in the Transcendence Realm, wasn''t that asking for trouble?


    How could the Ghost Clan possibly let it go?


    What exactly was Li Changqing planning?


    "I''ll explain the matter of the Qishan Order to you in detail later. I''m now interested in the identity of the owner of this cave." Xu Muhai looked towards the depths of the cave.


    At this time, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast also called out to the few people, seemingly wanting them to go inside.


    "Let''s go, let''s go in and take a look." Li Changqing said to the others.


    Seeing that Li Changqing had said so, the others also agreed.


    There was really nothing valuable here, all were junk, which made Li Changqing feel a bit frustrated. He came in to make a fortune, not to collect waste.


    As they went deeper and deeper, Yin Changli, who was following behind, suddenly exclaimed, "There''s a scent of plants and trees!"


    "Plants and trees scent?" Xu Muhai sniffed, but asked when he didn''t smell anything.


    "It seems there should be herbs or something inside." Mu Qingge laughed and said, "My disciple has a Xuanmu body, which is naturally sensitive and affinity to herbs. He can smell it, but I''m afraid you, Daoist Xu, can''t."


    "Xuanmu body, a natural-born Grandmaster of pill refining." Xu Muhai also said with envy, "Your Medical King Valley is about to produce another remarkable junior."

 Chapter 037 – Longevity Wood

    "Hopefully."


    Mu Qingge looked at Yin Changli, her face filled with worry.


    He had great potential, but he was not focused on the right path.


    All day long, he was obsessed with sword training, dreaming of becoming a sword immortal, wasting his excellent talent.


    As everyone ventured deeper, even Xu Muhai and the others began to smell the rich aroma of herbs.


    "The scent of Sky Blue Grass."


    "And this is Soul Fragrance."


    "Such a strong smell of vitality, could it be Blood Jade Lotus?"


    Smelling all kinds of scents, Mu Qingge also became excited, because these were all valuable treasures. Even in Medical King Valley, there weren''t so many, and the treasures here must have been aged for a long time.


    What came into view was a large pond, the water in the pond was faintly milky white.


    In the pond, many blood lotuses were blooming.


    They looked very enchanting.


    At the same time, not far away was a medicinal field, filled with green light. But in such a large medicinal field, there were only a few medicinal plants standing tall.


    The rest of the field was filled with withered herbs, probably dead for a long time.


    "What a pity." Mu Qingge walked up, squatted down, picked up a handful of soil from the ground, and sniffed, "This is all top-quality spirit soil."


    "It''s very suitable for the growth of treasures, but because it''s been too long, the surviving treasures have absorbed all the nutrients of the other herbs in order not to wither and die."


    "Now only these are left." Mu Qingge sighed softly.


    "It''s good that there are some left." Xu Muhai said with a smile, "There are so many Blood Jade Lotuses still alive here, these are also good things."


    Mu Qingge wanted to reach out and pick some of these herbs, but her hand that had just stretched out stopped in mid-air, as if she remembered something, and withdrew it.


    "Friend Li Changqing, we are here all because of you, so the treasures here should also belong to you. I was presumptuous." Mu Qingge quickly said to Li Changqing.


    "No harm done." Li Changqing looked at these treasures, knowing that they must be very valuable.


    But he definitely couldn''t monopolize these things.


    "Song Fairy, if you want to pick anything here, feel free to do so. What''s wrong with giving it to you?" Li Changqing said, "But my son is about to start his cultivation, and he lacks spiritual medicine. I hope Medical King Valley can provide some pills for his cultivation, how about it?"


    "Of course!" Mu Qingge quickly said, "That''s for sure."


    Mu Qingge was very happy in her heart.


    Because not only did she get many treasures, but more importantly, after doing this, Medical King Valley made a friend who is a high-level expert.


    For Medical King Valley or for her personally, it was a good deal.


    Seeing Mu Qingge so happy, Li Changqing was stunned for a moment. Mu Qingge''s smile could really be said to be captivating.


    As a normal man, Li Changqing couldn''t resist.


    "Cough cough." Li Changqing wasn''t interested in the spiritual medicine here, mainly because he didn''t understand it, but when he glanced at the distance, something caught his attention.


    It was a piece of round wood.


    Half of the round wood was buried in the ground.


    It wasn''t thick, about the size of a bowl, but the grain of the wood was very beautiful.


    It was also shimmering with green light. In Li Changqing''s eyes, the round wood was filled with the breath of life. Sear?h the nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "What is that?" Li Changqing took a step forward.


    But at this moment, Li Changqing felt that the scenery around him had changed.


    The world dimmed.


    Xu Muhai, Yin Changli, Mu Qingge, and even Fei disappeared.


    Everything in the cave disappeared, as if he had entered his own Divine Soul.


    This made Li Changqing a little nervous.


    What happened?


    "Boom!"


    A loud noise startled Li Changqing. He looked up and saw a huge river appearing in the sky above his head!


    The river was so vast, spanning across the heavens!


    Above the long river, figures emerged.


    Some of these figures he had seen before, some he hadn''t. Each drop of river water was filled with countless fragments.


    It was like watching a movie.


    Li Changqing was shocked.


    "Is this... the River of Time?" Li Changqing didn''t know if this world had such a thing, but judging from the novels he had read before, this was very similar to the River of Time described in the novels.


    When you''re just trying to make great content at .


    Each of them seemed like the flow of time.


    But why did he see the River of Time here?


    Li Changqing didn''t understand.


    Just then, Li Changqing suddenly noticed something.


    He saw a figure standing in the River of Time.


    The figure was short, his face shrouded by time, completely obscuring his features.


    He was looking down at Li Changqing, only his pair of blood-red eyes, like a hungry wolf.Feeling the man''s gaze on him, Li Changqing''s heart skipped a beat, an uncomfortable sensation washing over him.


    Just as Li Changqing thought the man was about to descend from the river of time to kill him, the man surprisingly turned and left.


    Vanishing without a trace.


    At this moment, the river of time slowly disintegrated into fragments that fell down.


    The fragments solidified in mid-air, turning into snowflakes.


    As if a cold wind was blowing, the snowflakes danced in the air.


    Li Changqing stood amidst the snow, unable to snap out of his daze for a long time.


    "Brother Changqing." At this moment, Xu Muhai''s voice came from beside Li Changqing. Only then did Li Changqing come back to his senses, the scene of snow before his eyes had already disappeared.


    Li Changqing was still standing there, unchanged.


    "Brother Changqing, what are you looking at?" Xu Muhai curiously looked at Li Changqing, who had just been standing there in a daze.


    "Looking at that piece of wood," Li Changqing muttered.


    "Wood?" Xu Muhai also followed his gaze to the piece of wood buried in the ground.


    But what was so interesting about that piece of wood?


    Li Changqing walked over to the log, carefully examining its grain. Although he didn''t recognize it, he knew it was a very good piece of wood.


    "Come out."


    Li Changqing softly commanded, and the Dragon Seizing Hand was once again displayed.


    Like a dragon soul crossing the sky, the dragon''s aura swept across all directions, even Xu Muhai was startled and quickly retreated.


    Li Changqing, like a humanoid dragon, reached out with a dragon claw and forcefully pulled the log from the mud.


    As the log was pulled out, a life force began to permeate the air.


    That kind of aura made everyone feel incredibly comfortable, as if the cells in their bodies were awakening.


    "Longevity Wood!" Mu Qingge exclaimed upon seeing the log.


    Clearly, she didn''t expect to see such a treasure here.


    "This is Longevity Wood?" Xu Muhai was also taken aback, then said, "Legend has it that Longevity Wood is a part of the ancient Longevity Tree, which only exists in legends. I didn''t expect to see it here."


    Li Changqing felt the Longevity Wood, thinking that it must be excellent timber.


    "Strange, where''s the Golden Silk Linlang Beast?" At this moment, Yin Changli curiously looked around.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast was nowhere to be found.


    "Let''s not worry about it for now." Mu Qingge walked up at this moment, staring at the Longevity Wood, a look of regret in her eyes: "What a pity, if only there was a Longevity Leaf on it."

 Chapter 039，Part 1 – This sword Xuanyuan

    If there were leaves of the Tree of Immortality, Mu Qingge would really like to study this legendary object.


    Because it is said that the leaves of the Tree of Immortality have the power to bring the dead back to life.


    Unfortunately, this thing is really rare, and no one in the history of Medical King Valley has ever obtained anything related to the Tree of Immortality.


    As for this Immortal Wood, although it is a treasure, it is of no use.


    This piece of the Tree of Immortality will never grow leaves again.


    However, this thing is useless to others, but it is a good treasure for Li Changqing.


    In the eyes of a woodcarver, such good wood would be a waste if it is not used to carve something.


    "Kid, I have a good thing for you." Li Changqing looked at Yin Changli.


    "Ah, senior wants to give me something?" Yin Changli''s eyes lit up.


    "Friend Changqing, you don''t have to be so polite." Mu Qingge quickly said, knowing that whatever Li Changqing gives must be extraordinary, how could she accept such a huge favor?


    "Kid, you''re going to be rich!" Xu Muhai''s eyes lit up, he naturally knew that the things Li Changqing gave were all extraordinary.


    Any wood carving could lead one to the pinnacle of life.


    "Don''t call me kid, my name is Yin Changli." Yin Changli protested to Xu Muhai.


    Xu Muhai was taken aback, and couldn''t help but laugh bitterly: "You''re really double standard, you didn''t say anything when Brother Changqing called you that, but I can''t."


    "Hmph, Senior Changqing can." Yin Changli said with a bit of a proud tone.


    "Then wait a moment." Li Changqing said, and sat down next to the Immortal Wood, then took out various tools from his arms.


    Various knives were taken out by Li Changqing, which surprised both Mu Qingge and Yin Changli.


    What kind of knife is that?


    Why do they all look so strange, they are all shapes they have never seen before.


    Even Xu Muhai showed a curious expression, because Xu Muhai was also seeing this kind of knife for the first time, and he didn''t expect to see Li Changqing making wood carvings on the spot.


    Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Li Changqing thought they were wondering why he carried so many knives with him, so he coughed and said: "As a woodcarver, it''s quite reasonable for me to carry six or seven knives with me, right?"


    "Woodcarver?" Mu Qingge and Yin Changli showed puzzled expressions: "Isn''t Friend Changqing a painter?"


    "Brother Changqing is not a painter, he is a woodcarver." Xu Muhai explained: "This is a path Brother Changqing has carved out for himself. Although it is similar to a painter, the wood carvings Brother Changqing creates have a much stronger impact!"


    After all, Xu Muhai had really seen it, the wooden cauldron that Li Changqing gave him was still on him.


    Just one glance at it would make him fall into it.


    If it weren''t for the fact that he was dealing with the matter of the Southern Mountain now, he would be eager to return to Mount Muhai and carefully comprehend this wooden cauldron.


    Mu Qingge and the others were just unaware of the history.


    At this time, Li Changqing started to work.


    Various tools were used on the Immortal Wood, and Li Changqing took out a relatively long piece.


    Each knife has its own use, Li Changqing''s movements were fast, he had reached a master level of proficiency, which dazzled the others.


    They found that the wood in Li Changqing''s hand in the previous second and the wood in the next second were completely different.


    It was as if they were watching the process of a creator creating an object, which caused a huge shock to their souls, and even they all felt that the true essence in their bodies couldn''t help but automatically operate.


    Their Divine Souls trembled, and they were completely fascinated by the movements in Li Changqing''s hands, forgetting time and everything else.


    At the same time, many insights were added to their minds.


    It seemed that the process of creation brought them many insights into the Dao of Heaven and Earth.


    Even the bottlenecks in their martial arts seemed to loosen at this time.


    Gradually, as time passed, everyone didn''t know how long it had been, and an object was formed in Li Changqing''s hands. sea??h th§× N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It was a sword.


    A wooden sword.


    The blade was wide, and the overall feel was different from the thin swords they usually saw.


    On the wooden sword, one side was carved with the sun, moon, and stars, and the other side was carved with mountains, rivers, and vegetation.


    Even though they hadn''t touched the sword yet, for some reason, they all felt a kind of pressure from this wooden sword!


    It was as if they had seen some superior being that they could not reach.


    Li Changqing carefully inspected the sword in his hand, to be precise, this sword was only a semi-finished product, because Li Changqing did not intend to finish carving this sword.


    He didn''t need such a strong aura of the emperor.


    He just needed the power of mountains, rivers, vegetation, sun, moon, and stars, which would be the best for Yin Changli.


    "Go." Li Changqing''s palm opened, and the sword actually stood in the air.


    But the wooden sword was trembling slightly, as if it was reluctant to leave.


    "Go." Li Changqing smiled: "Your master is that kid, I don''t know swordsmanship, I''m not suitable for you."


    With that, Li Changqing flicked his finger, and the wooden sword flew out directly, coming to Yin Changli''s face.


    Feeling the wooden sword flying towards him, Yin Changli was pushed back two steps, his eyes showed awe, but behind that awe was a glimmer of desire.


    "This is... wood carving?" Mu Qingge was also so shocked that she couldn''t speak.


    She is the daughter of the Valley Master of Medical King Valley, a genius of the younger generation of Medical King Valley. She thought she had seen a lot, but after meeting Li Changqing, she found that the world she had seen was so small.


    This wooden sword, although it hasn''t reached her hand, but she can still feel the spiritual power coming from this wooden sword, vast and endless, as if it is infinite.


    Looking at the patterns on the sword, vast stars, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, it seems to contain a small world!


    Such a treasure!


    It''s simply amazing!


    "Kid, take the sword." Li Changqing said seriously: "This sword is called Xuanyuan, you are a Xuanmu body, this sword suits you."


    "What I want to tell you is, there is a Dao of Medicine, there is a Dao of Sword, but all the three thousand Daos lead to the same goal.""Some people can tread the path to becoming unparalleled powerhouses through reading, some can rival immortals by perfecting the art of wine tasting. Swordsmanship is not just about killing, your understanding of plants and trees can also lead you to your own path of the sword."


    "So, in the future, you can not only become a medical immortal, but also a sword immortal. The world of nature, within the plants and trees, hides your path of the sword. I give you this sword, go and comprehend your own path."


    Li Changqing racked his brains, recalling phrases from the web novels he had read before, and spoke in a jumbled manner.


    However, his words struck the people present like a thunderbolt, and to Yin Changli, it was like a sudden enlightenment!


    Is this the difference in realms?


    "Thank you, Elder Li Changqing." Yin Changli knelt down solemnly and kowtowed three times to Li Changqing.


    "I, Yin Changli, will remember this kindness for three lifetimes!"


    Yin Changli was truly moved.


    He was given such a treasure, and even guided to find his own path of the sword.


    Such a great kindness, it was comparable to having a second set of parents!


    "The future belongs to you youngsters." Li Changqing looked at Yin Changli seriously, "Perhaps in the future, amidst the competition of your generation, my son will also participate. I only hope that we have a good karma. If my son encounters any difficulties, I hope you, the future sword immortal, can lend him a hand."

 Chapter 039，Part 2 – The Remains of a Painting Immortal

    "Huh?"


    Yin Changli didn''t expect Li Changqing to say such a thing.


    Xu Muhai was also somewhat surprised. Li Changqing was simply a fanatic for spoiling his child.


    Investing a treasure in a young man, just to help his own son in the future?


    But Xu Muhai also understood that Li Changqing was not only investing in Yin Changli.


    He was investing in Yin Changli''s background.


    Medical King Valley.


    The first orthodox medical sect in the Cangyuan Realm.


    The power behind Medical King Valley was immense.


    Yin Changli was a Xuanmu body, and also the personal disciple of Mu Qingge. His future position in the Medical King Valley would definitely be high. Moreover, Mu Qingge was the daughter of the head of the Medical King Valley. The implications of this relationship were self-evident.


    However... Xu Muhai still felt that Li Changqing, with his strength and miraculous abilities, was extraordinary.


    If he were to make his move, with a wave of his hand, there would be countless strong people who would want to follow him.


    By that time, his son would be the favored child of heaven. What couldn''t he have?


    Why did Li Changqing have to be so low-key?


    Xu Muhai could only guess that there were other reasons that he didn''t know about.


    "Senior Changqing, rest assured. If there is any trouble for your son in the future, I, Yin Changli, will go through fire and water!" Yin Changli said solemnly.


    "Good." Li Changqing nodded.


    At this moment, the Xuanyuan Sword was still floating in mid-air. Yin Changli stared at the floating wooden sword and slowly reached out his hand.


    He gently grasped the hilt of the sword.


    The moment he held the sword, Yin Changli felt a surge of electricity throughout his body. He felt the vast expanse of the universe!


    He seemed to see the Tree of Eternity in front of him.


    Even his Xuanmu body''s bloodline began to tremble.


    Yin Changli saw the world of stars and the land of grass and trees on the sword, as if brewing some kind of rule.


    This rule was too mysterious for Yin Changli, but it made him feel so familiar.


    This sword was not a weapon, it couldn''t really be used as a weapon, but by comprehending this sword, Yin Changli knew he would definitely achieve something.


    "Thank you, Daoist Changqing." Mu Qingge also bowed with a fist.


    At the same time, Mu Qingge''s mood was not calm. This Xuanyuan Sword was such a treasure, she could feel the power coming from the Xuanyuan Sword, how strong it was.


    She also knew what a treasure it was.


    She wanted it too.


    But where would Mu Qingge dare to ask for it?


    She could only watch her disciple receive a treasure that she couldn''t get.


    Xu Muhai was fine, although he also envied the sword, but Xu Muhai had received a cauldron before, which had already made him very happy.


    However, Xu Muhai also smiled bitterly in his heart.


    Li Changqing really spoiled his son, Li Hengsheng, too much.


    His son was still a warrior in the Transcendence Realm, and he had already started paving the way for his son here.


    Such a child-spoiling fanatic.


    His son was his disciple, and Xu Muhai suddenly felt overwhelmed. S§×arch* The N?velFire.n§×t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    What''s the difference between this and teaching the crown prince?


    If his son got hurt under his watch, wouldn''t Li Changqing''s anger tear him apart?


    Thinking of this, Xu Muhai couldn''t help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, breaking out in a cold sweat.


    "Roar."


    At this moment, the sound of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast came from not far away.


    Everyone turned their heads and saw that the Golden Silk Linlang Beast had actually walked out from the deepest part of the cave.


    Similarly, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast was holding a scroll in its mouth.


    "A painting?"


    Xu Muhai was somewhat excited.


    There were indeed treasures here.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast ran to Li Changqing''s side, then put the painting on the ground, looking at Li Changqing eagerly.


    Li Changqing curiously reached out his hand, and the scroll was warm to the touch.


    The feel of the paper was not like the paper he had touched at home, indicating that this paper must be very expensive.


    Opening the scroll, what came into view was a jungle, and in the jungle, a Golden Silk Linlang Beast was sleeping.


    The moment he saw this painting, Li Changqing almost subconsciously thought that this painting contained a world!


    Because the painting was too realistic.


    Whether it was the mountains and forests or the clouds in the sky, they all gave people a sense of immersion.


    Not only visually, but even the air was filled with the scent of wild fruits in the forest.


    The breeze seemed to blow on his cheeks.


    As for the sleeping Golden Silk Linlang Beast in the painting, it had even breathing, as if it could wake up at any time.


    Such a painting, Li Changqing found it very astonishing.


    Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge felt that this painting was several times stronger than any painting they had ever seen.


    "Such a masterpiece, I''m afraid it was painted by a painting immortal." Mu Qingge nodded.


    Only Yin Changli on the side didn''t care at all, playing with the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand with great interest. Because in his view, no painting could compare to the sword in his hand.


    "This painting is of you, isn''t it?" Li Changqing looked at the Golden Silk Linlang Beast and said, "I can feel that the spiritual energy contained in this painting has almost been exhausted. If this painting loses its spiritual energy, your spirit as the painting will cease to exist."


    "Ow..." The Golden Silk Linlang Beast whimpered pitifully, then rubbed its head against Li Changqing''s leg, as if it was acting coquettishly.


    "No worries." Li Changqing casually stroked the head of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast and said, "When we return to Changting Town, I will recreate a body for you."


    Upon hearing this, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast turned its head and called out a few times towards the end of the cave.


    "Is there something good inside?" Xu Muhai looked deep into the cave and asked.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast seemed hesitant, as if it wanted to say something, but then it closed its mouth.


    "Since we''re here, let''s go in and take a look. Wouldn''t it be a waste if we missed any treasures?" Xu Muhai said with a smile.


    Everyone else thought it made sense.


    A quick look at " will leave you more fulfilled.


    Mu Qingge packed up all the heavenly treasures, and Li Changqing casually waved his hand, the remaining longevity wood also floated behind him.


    Such good wood, if it were just discarded, wouldn''t it be a pity?


    However, as they continued to move forward, Li Changqing had a faint sense of oppression.


    It was as if there was something unknown deep in the cave that made Li Changqing feel uncomfortable.


    But what could it be that made him feel uncomfortable?


    After crossing several streams, they finally arrived at the end of the cave.


    When they entered, their eyes were deeply attracted by something.


    In the center of the cave, on a stone platform, there was a person sitting in meditation.


    However, this person had already turned into a pile of white bones.


    "Could this be the predecessor, the painting immortal?" Mu Qingge looked from a distance, then scanned the last part of the cave, only to find that there was almost nothing here.


    She had originally thought there would be some treasures here.


    "Master, in his hand..." At this moment, Yin Changli pointed at the skeleton in surprise.

 Chapter 040 – Mysterious Scroll

    Everyone''s gaze fell on the skeletal palm of the corpse.


    "It''s a scroll!"


    In the palm of the skeleton, there was a tightly held scroll.


    The scroll was permeated with an extremely ancient aura, and even from a distance, one could feel the traces of time flowing on it.


    "An ancient painting left by the Painting Immortal?" Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge found their breaths heavy at this moment.


    This was a real treasure.


    If word got out, it could potentially incite a bloodbath among the many sects of the Cangyuan Realm.


    Who knew how much blood would be shed, and how many lives would be lost.


    Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge glanced at each other, their eyes revealing a hint of caution.


    They seemed to be worried that the other would suddenly strike at this moment.


    Although one was from Medical King Valley and the other from Dao Mountain Ancient Land, both were reputable sects.


    Their relationship was not bad.


    But in front of the ancient painting left by the Painting Immortal, who could say they had no selfish intentions?


    It was common to stab one''s own brother in the back for the sake of a treasure, let alone two people meeting for the first time.


    "Brother Changqing, I''ll repeat what I said before, since you brought us here, you should have more authority to handle this." Mu Qingge took a deep breath and passed the ball to Li Changqing.


    "Brother Changqing, you decide." Xu Muhai also sobered up at this moment.


    There was still Li Changqing beside them.


    This was a treasure left by the Painting Immortal.


    If they really had selfish intentions, it was hard to guarantee that Li Changqing wouldn''t kill them both here.


    In front of such a treasure, even one''s own father couldn''t be trusted!


    So both of them quickly clarified their positions and left it to Li Changqing to handle.


    The two of them were hoping that Li Changqing might not be interested in the painting.


    In that case, the painting could fall into their hands.


    Although the hope was slim, they didn''t want to lose their lives over a treasure.


    Upon hearing their words, Li Changqing didn''t say anything.


    He just looked at the corpse and the ancient painting in its hand from a distance.


    For some reason, Li Changqing thought of the river of time that had suddenly appeared in his consciousness when he entered the cave.


    He thought of the mysterious figure on the river of time.


    Even now, as he looked at the ancient painting from a distance, he felt a bit uncomfortable.


    As if something was wrong with the painting.


    But Li Changqing didn''t know whether it was his own feeling that was wrong, or if there was really something wrong with the painting, because he didn''t know much about paintings.


    "I''m not interested in this thing. You two can take the painting, open it and see. Whoever needs it can take it." Li Changqing said indifferently.


    He really didn''t need this thing.


    Li Changqing was very clear about one thing, that his wood carving was more effective than painting.


    So he didn''t need to use the painting to help Li Hengsheng, and naturally he didn''t need to take this thing.


    As for selling the painting for money, Li Changqing felt that he should not act rashly before he truly mastered his own power and understood this world.


    It was easy to bring about his own demise.


    Although Dao Mountain Ancient Land and Medical King Valley both thought of him as some peerless expert, there were always those stubborn people. If they came to cause trouble, with his mediocre power, it would be hard to protect himself.


    It might even bring trouble to his son.


    As for the wood carving he gave away, whether it was Xu Muhai or Mu Qingge, they were both smart people and it was unlikely to be leaked out.


    The Yan family was also under his control for now, so there was no need to worry.


    Li Changqing was also a bit curious about what was in the painting, but he was somewhat resistant to it, so he didn''t want to go up and take it.


    He always felt that something was strange.


    Hearing Li Changqing''s words, Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge could hardly believe their luck.


    Such a thing had actually happened.

    The two looked at each other, then rushed towards the corpse.


    But even though they really wanted the painting, they were very cautious, worried that there might be some traps here.


    It took them a while to safely reach the corpse, even though it was only a few dozen meters away.


    The corpse was unrecognizable, but Mu Qingge could tell that it had been there for at least a hundred years.


    "Perhaps it really is Senior Gu Hanxi." Mu Qingge said with a complex expression.


    "If it really is him, then this painting is indeed left by the Painting Immortal." Xu Muhai reached out and carefully pulled out the painting: "Maybe this painting is a Painting Treasure."


    "Anything that the Painting Immortal held in his hand even at the moment of death must be a peerless treasure!" Mu Qingge agreed.


    "I can''t wait to open it and see." Xu Muhai couldn''t even wait to get back to Li Changqing before opening it.


    Xu Muhai knew that Li Changqing wouldn''t blame him for this. Although they hadn''t known each other for long, he had figured out some of Li Changqing''s character.


    He was a reasonable person, not one to fuss over small matters.


    Thinking this, Xu Muhai quickly unrolled the scroll, eager to see this masterpiece!


    But the moment Xu Muhai opened the scroll.


    Li Changqing''s face changed!


    A sense of crisis arose!


    This was the first time Li Changqing had felt such a great crisis since he came to the Cangyuan Realm.


    "Danger." Li Changqing exclaimed.But at this moment, Xu Muhai had already unrolled the scroll!


    Inside the scroll, there was almost nothing, except for a pair of eyes!


    A pair of blood-red eyes!


    The eyes seemed to be completely formed by coagulated blood, covering the heavens and the earth, as if they wanted to dye everything blood-red.


    At this moment, the wind and clouds changed color, and the entire cave dimmed.


    An endless momentum rose to the sky, and an extremely strong ghostly aura seeped out from the scroll!


    Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge were immediately engulfed by this ghostly aura!


    The two seemed to have fallen into an ocean of ghostly aura. They had been cultivating for so many years, but they had never felt such a terrifying ghostly aura!


    It was so powerful that they almost lost the will to resist.


    What level of Ghost Clan was this?


    Innate pinnacle?


    Could it be the legendary land immortal?


    Or perhaps¡­¡­


    Something they couldn''t touch? Sear?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    It had already exceeded their understanding.


    And this ghostly aura filled the entire cave, swallowing everything. Yin Changli and Li Changqing, who were far apart, were also engulfed by this ghostly aura.


    "This is the aura of the Ghost Clan." Li Changqing was in this boundless ghostly aura, and the space around him seemed to be distorting.


    Li Changqing was a little scared, but at this moment, a red light descended from the sky.


    Li Changqing couldn''t help but look up, only to find that in the pitch-black night sky, there were two blood moons hanging!


    No, that''s not right.


    Rather than calling them blood moons.


    It''s better to say they were those two blood-red eyes.


    There seemed to be some astonishing power in those eyes, and at this moment, Li Changqing''s Divine Soul Lake was trembling wildly!


    As if something had invaded his Divine Soul.


    So strong!


    Even though he didn''t fully understand the Divine Soul, Li Changqing could still feel the terrifying strength of the power that had invaded his Divine Soul Lake.


    What exactly was sealed in this scroll?

 Chapter 041 – Cold Chisel Ancient Temple

    At this moment, Li Changqing saw the ghostly aura in front of him being torn apart as if by some force.


    A massive rift appeared within the ghostly aura, hovering above Li Changqing''s Divine Soul lake, creating an eerie sight.


    Simultaneously, an astonishing suction force was released from the rift.


    Li Changqing''s clothes rustled in the wind, and it seemed as if he was about to be sucked into the rift by this force.


    "Hmph!"


    Li Changqing snorted in anger, his voice resonating like a bell. Although he was not very proficient in controlling his Divine Soul, at this critical moment of life and death, he resisted the suction force with his powerful Divine Soul.


    Despite the strong suction, it could not affect Li Changqing.


    Li Changqing stood firm as a rock, unmoved.


    Even in the face of a raging storm, he stood tall and unyielding.


    The power released from this strange painting was strong, but not strong enough to overpower him.


    "What is that..."


    Li Changqing peered through the rift and discovered a small world hidden within.


    He vaguely saw a massive temple beneath the ghostly aura.


    "Peak Master Xu?"


    "And Song Fairy and that little guy are all inside." Li Changqing saw the three of them in front of the temple, moving towards it like zombies.


    "What exactly is this place, and why is it sealed in this ancient painting?" Li Changqing felt that there was a huge secret hidden within.


    He watched as the group slowly approached the dilapidated temple.


    The sky was moonless.


    Only a pair of blood-red eyes hung in the air, as if observing everything in the world.


    Amidst the pervasive ghostly aura, Xu Muhai and the others were unconscious, their bodies stiffly moving towards the ancient temple.


    Two stone lions crouched in front of the temple.


    The stone lions were covered in moss, and weeds grew all around, indicating that it had been a long time since anyone had cleaned the area.


    A cold wind blew, stirring up the dead leaves on the steps in front of the temple.


    Not only were the leaves dead, but the old tree next to the wall had also been dead for many years.


    A sense of desolation permeated the area.


    The three of them slowly ascended the steps, their eyes empty as they stared ahead.


    At this moment, the ancient temple''s doors slowly opened, the wooden doors creaking loudly in the silent night.


    The three of them stepped into the ancient temple.


    Li Changqing watched them enter the temple with wide eyes.

    "What exactly is this place?" Li Changqing took a step forward, approaching the rift and peering down carefully. S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The moment the three of them entered the temple, their eyes gradually cleared.


    They heard the sound of ghostly wails and howls in their ears.


    It was as if they had fallen into hell.


    "What''s happening to us?" Yin Changli was startled, looking around in confusion. The place was filled with ruins and was incredibly gloomy.


    The vast courtyard was devoid of any signs of life.


    And it seemed to have been abandoned for many years.


    "Where is this..." Mu Qingge and Xu Muhai also woke up from their daze.


    When they realized they had entered this courtyard, they became extremely vigilant.


    "Bang!"


    With a dull thud, the ancient door behind them slammed shut!


    The heavy sound seemed to seal their vitality.


    "Not good!" Xu Muhai''s face suddenly changed.


    Mu Qingge was about to ask Xu Muhai what was wrong, but before she could ask, her face also changed drastically.


    Because both Mu Qingge and Xu Muhai felt that their cultivation was being suppressed.


    The cultivation within their bodies was like a wheel stuck in the mud, struggling to move.


    In other words, they were unable to use any of their cultivation in this terrifying place. If they encountered danger, wouldn''t they just be waiting to die?


    "Our cultivation is being suppressed." Xu Muhai turned around and tried to push the heavy door, but it wouldn''t budge.


    "What kind of place is this, that it can suppress our cultivation?" Mu Qingge suddenly looked around: "Right, where did Daoist Li Changqing go?"


    "Right." Xu Muhai suddenly remembered.


    Where was Li Changqing?


    Just now, although Li Changqing and Yin Changli were standing a bit far away, they were close to each other. Yin Changli had come in, so Li Changqing should have come in too.


    But there was no sign of Li Changqing.


    "Did Senior Li Changqing not come in?" Yin Changli cautiously suggested.


    "If Brother Li Changqing didn''t come in, that''s even better. He will find a way to save us." Xu Muhai nodded: "Let''s go inside and take a look first. Standing here gives me a bad feeling."


    "I feel the same, as if someone is watching us." Mu Qingge took a few steps forward, subconsciously looking back.


    "Hmm?" Mu Qingge saw a huge plaque hanging under the eaves.


    The plaque was hanging crookedly, and the words on it were decayed.


    But she could still clearly see the four big characters written on it.


    Cold Chisel Ancient Temple.


    "Cold Chisel Ancient Temple..." Seeing these four words, a trace of fear appeared in Mu Qingge''s eyes, and she subconsciously took a step back.


    "It really is the Cold Chisel Ancient Temple." Xu Muhai also looked up at the plaque, equally incredulous.


    "Master, what is the Cold Chisel Ancient Temple?" Yin Changli saw their expressions and knew that this place was definitely not simple.


    Mu Qingge took a deep breath to calm her emotions.


    "The Cold Chisel Ancient Temple was once the most powerful Buddhist sect in the Cangyuan Realm." Mu Qingge said.


    "Buddhist sect?" Yin Changli was surprised: "What is that?""They worship Buddha, gaining enlightenment from the scriptures in the scrolls. Their cultivation methods are quite miraculous, especially effective against the Ghost Clan."


    "Many years ago, led by the Hansha Ancient Temple, dozens of Buddhist temples in the Cangyuan Realm waged a world-shaking war against the Ghost Clan." Xu Muhai continued, "The Ghost Clan won that war, but it was a pyrrhic victory. The other sects of the human race joined forces to drive the Ghost Clan into the Yunhuang Wilderness."


    "However, almost all the Buddhists were wiped out. After that war, the Hansha Ancient Temple disappeared from the Cangyuan Realm. It''s been nearly a thousand years now."


    "I never thought that the Hansha Ancient Temple would be sealed in a scroll. It''s truly beyond comprehension." Xu Muhai felt that this matter was truly baffling.


    "We''ve been set up." Mu Qingge''s eyes narrowed slightly, "That painting was used to trap us. We were transported here as soon as we opened the scroll. Although I don''t know what their purpose is, I know that if we don''t find a way out quickly, we will have no way to retreat."

 Chapter 042 – Corpse suddenly rises

    Xu Muhai also agreed with Mu Qingge''s words.


    "Disciple, stay close to me," Mu Qingge said to Yin Changli beside her.


    "Okay." Yin Changli nervously moved a step closer to Mu Qingge.


    "Since we can''t get out from here, we have to find another way."


    The three of them cautiously moved forward.


    The entire Cold Chisel Ancient Temple was eerily silent.


    So silent that only the wind could be heard.


    Despite the ghostly aura outside the temple, it merely lingered outside and did not penetrate into the temple.


    It seemed that there was something in the temple that these ghosts feared.


    "Master, this place is really scary," Yin Changli said, following closely behind Mu Qingge, his voice filled with fear.


    "What''s there to be afraid of? There''s nothing here," Mu Qingge laughed, "With your courage, you still want to become a sword immortal?"


    "I... who said I was scared?" Hearing this, Yin Changli puffed out his chest, indicating that he was not afraid at all.


    "Dragon Buddha Hall."


    The three of them arrived in front of a large hall. The plaque of the hall had fallen to the ground, but the three characters on it were still clearly visible.


    Stepping into the hall, it was clear that it had been abandoned for a long time. The altar in the distance had been knocked over, and even one of the pillars of the hall was broken.


    It was evident that a fierce battle had taken place here.


    "Is that the Buddha?"


    At this moment, Yin Changli saw a huge statue sitting in front of him.


    The statue was enormous, resembling a Buddha, but the Buddha was headless, as if it had been chopped off by something.


    The headless Buddha looked somewhat eerie and terrifying.


    "Master, is this the Painting Treasure?" Yin Changli stepped forward, looking at the several scrolls scattered on the ground. However, the scrolls were tattered and the content was no longer clear.


    The scrolls had lost their spirituality and had become waste paper.


    It was hard for them to imagine what kind of fierce battle had taken place in this Cold Chisel Ancient Temple.


    "There are words here." Xu Muhai walked to the front of the Buddha statue and found black characters on the statue. If one didn''t look carefully, they would easily miss it.


    The black characters were written in blood.


    However, as time passed, the color of the blood had turned black.


    But the writing was still clearly visible.


    ''Do not enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas!''


    Seeing these six characters, the three of them felt a chill in their hearts.


    The Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas should also be a large hall in the Cold Chisel Ancient Temple. They originally planned to find an exit, and nothing strange had happened along the way, which had somewhat reassured them.


    But this line of text gave them a creepy feeling.


    What was in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas?


    Why were they being warned not to enter?


    "Brother Changqing is not here now, and we don''t know how he is. We should find a way to leave the Cold Chisel Ancient Temple as soon as possible," Xu Muhai took a deep breath, "This place... gives me a really bad feeling."


    "Let''s go!" Mu Qingge turned around and left with Yin Changli.


    Xu Muhai also followed.


    The Cold Chisel Ancient Temple was vast. The three of them bypassed the Dragon Buddha Hall and headed deeper into the temple.


    The further they went, the more terrifying it felt.


    After they climbed a flight of stairs, the scene that appeared before them was shocking.


    It was even more brutal here.


    Bones were scattered all over the ground.


    All were skeletal remains, and it was unknown how many years they had been dead.


    Looking around, there were at least a hundred.


    "Hee hee."


    Just as they were shocked by the scene, a voice echoed in their minds.


    "Who''s there!"


    Xu Muhai shouted angrily.


    They looked around, but there was no one.


    The voice was clear, like the laughter of a little girl.


    "Master, who was laughing just now?" At this point, Yin Changli was almost scared out of his wits.


    Mu Qingge''s face was also pale. She had heard the voice too.


    But she couldn''t determine where it was coming from.


    "We must be very careful," Xu Muhai quickly said.


    They hurriedly tried to cross the area full of bones.


    But just as they had taken a dozen steps, Yin Changli screamed like a frightened cat, "Ah!"


    "What''s wrong?" Mu Qingge was also startled by Yin Changli''s scream, "What are you screaming for?"


    "Mas... Master." Yin Changli''s face was as white as a sheet, his legs trembling, his eyes drifting downwards.


    This novel is available on ".


    Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge looked down and were also taken aback!


    There was a hand on Yin Changli''s ankle!


    A skeletal hand was grabbing Yin Changli''s foot. It was one of the corpses on the ground.


    "Get off!" Xu Muhai shouted, stepping forward and kicking the skeleton away.


    But before they could wonder why the skeleton could grab Yin Changli''s foot, they heard a rustling sound around them.


    Then, the skeletons on the ground, which had been decaying for who knows how many years, slowly got up.


    Some of the skeletons even held broken swords in their hands. Hundreds of skeletons stood up, surrounding the three of them.


    "Hiss!"


    The three of them took a sharp breath.


    They had lost all their cultivation now. If they were surrounded, they would have no power to resist.


    "Run!"


    The three of them ran towards a place with fewer skeletons.


    But the skeletons also picked up their swords and chased after them.


    Although they were skeletons, they were not slow at all when they ran.


    "There are ghosts!" Yin Changli shouted.


    "These skeletons are influenced by the ghostly aura outside," Mu Qingge said anxiously, "If they catch up with us, we will be chopped into mincemeat." S§×ar?h the n?vel_Fire.¦Çet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But just as the three of them had bypassed the courtyard, they found that there were still many skeletons crawling up in front of them. They were stared at by numerous skeletons, their hollow eyes seemed to want to swallow them alive.


    They could only change direction and run to the other side.


    After several twists and turns, they passed through a corridor, climbed several flights of stairs, and the number of skeletons behind them increased, reaching more than five hundred."Master, I can''t run anymore." Yin Changli gasped for breath as he spoke.


    "If you want to live, keep running."


    Unable to mobilize their true essence, they were merely relying on their physical bodies to escape, which was indeed difficult.


    At this moment, it seemed as if the surrounding wind had come to a standstill.


    They even felt as if the world had become silent.


    The atmosphere was eerily strange.


    The numerous corpses chasing them from behind, crowding and swarming like a tide of corpses, sent chills down their spines.


    "Master, they''re almost catching up!" Yin Changli said in terror, "There''s a large hall ahead, the doors and windows are intact, let''s hide in there for now!"


    "There really is..." Xu Muhai looked up and indeed, in front of them, there was a large hall that was relatively intact, unlike the dilapidated ones they had encountered before.


    The doors of the hall were tightly closed, and there were even some unreadable characters written on them.


    However, the words on the plaque above the hall plunged them from hope back into despair.


    Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas!


    They clearly remembered the words written in fresh blood when they first entered the Cold Chisel Ancient Temple.


    Do not enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas!

 Chapter 043 – Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas

    This sentence seemed to be written by someone with their last breath before death.


    It indicated that there was a terrifying existence in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.


    The sight of this hall was enough to make their hearts explode with fear.


    When you''re just trying to make great content at bit.ly/3iBfjkV.


    If they didn''t enter now, the corpses behind them would tear them apart.


    But if they did enter, there might be something even more terrifying inside the hall, enough to plunge them into an irretrievable abyss.


    The sound of countless footsteps was gradually closing in from behind.


    "Master, should we go in?" Yin Changli asked anxiously. If they didn''t go in, the corpses would catch up with them.


    He could already imagine himself being torn apart by those corpses.


    "Disciple, let me go in and check first. If there''s nothing wrong, I''ll call you in." Mu Qingge gritted her teeth.


    "Huh?" Yin Changli quickly said, "But if there''s danger inside, won''t you..."


    "Friend Xu." Mu Qingge turned to Xu Muhai, "If something happens to me, could you please take my disciple and find a chance to escape, and send him back to the Medical King Valley?"


    "Although I, Xu Muhai, am no hero, how can I let a woman take such a risk? Wouldn''t it be a great disgrace if this got out?" Xu Muhai laughed, "You two stay here, I''ll go in and check."


    "If I''m unfortunate, please inform the Dao Mountain Ancient Land." Xu Muhai said, turning to leave.


    But as soon as he turned around, Mu Qingge grabbed his sleeve.


    "Friend Xu, although our cultivation is suppressed, my Medical King Valley is after all a medical sect. When we reach the Transcendence Realm, our physical cultivation is not as good as your orthodox Dao sect. I have no chance to escape with Changli, but you might."


    Mu Qingge looked at Xu Muhai seriously.


    "This..."


    Xu Muhai hesitated.


    What Mu Qingge said made sense.


    Like normal warriors, when they reach the Transcendence Realm, they focus more on physical cultivation, stepping into the postnatal stage with a strong body.


    But the Medical King Valley is different, they purely use pills or medicinal baths to enhance their bodies. Although the effects are the same, and even the disciples of the Medical King Valley cultivate faster.


    But in terms of physical strength and close combat abilities, the disciples of the Medical King Valley are far inferior to those of other sects.


    If Xu Muhai really fought to the death to escape, he might have a chance. But if it were Mu Qingge, the hope would be slim.


    Taking advantage of Xu Muhai''s hesitation, Mu Qingge stepped out and headed for the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.


    "Master!" Yin Changli''s eyes filled with tears, and he was about to follow Mu Qingge, "I''ll go with you!"


    But before he could step out, Xu Muhai grabbed his arm.


    "Don''t pull me." Yin Changli said with a sob.


    "Understand your master''s good intentions." Xu Muhai sighed lightly, then looked at the army of corpses a few hundred meters away, "If something really happens to Song Fairy later, I will risk my life to get you out."


    "Master!" Yin Changli shouted desperately.


    But Mu Qingge didn''t look back. She had already reached the entrance of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. There was no sound inside, and she couldn''t sense anything.


    Mu Qingge took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the door of the hall.


    Still, there was no movement.


    The inscriptions on the door that they couldn''t understand turned into fine sand at this moment, and were blown away by the wind, disappearing from the door frame.


    Mu Qingge stepped in.


    And then there was silence.


    The gloomy and dark Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, from a distance, they couldn''t see anything clearly. It was like a giant beast''s mouth, swallowing Mu Qingge.


    The waiting at this moment was as unbearable as waiting for death.


    The corpses were getting closer.


    Xu Muhai was ready to fight to the death.


    However, at this moment, Mu Qingge''s voice came from the hall, "Come in, there''s nothing wrong inside."


    "Great, it''s safe." Xu Muhai breathed a sigh of relief and was about to pull Yin Changli to hide inside.


    But as soon as Xu Muhai took a step forward, he was abruptly pulled back by Yin Changli.


    "What''s wrong?" Xu Muhai turned to look at Yin Changli, "If we don''t hurry in, those corpses will catch up. Let''s hide inside first, then figure out a way to leave."


    But Yin Changli''s expression was a bit strange at this moment, and his eyes were even more fearful.


    "That... that''s not my master''s voice." Yin Changli''s throat bobbed, his face full of extreme fear as he looked towards the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.


    "Huh?" Xu Muhai''s heart skipped a beat when he heard this.


    To him, that was indeed Mu Qingge''s voice.


    But he had only met Mu Qingge for the first time, how could he compare to the familiarity between Yin Changli and Mu Qingge, who had been together day and night?


    "Are you sure?" Xu Muhai couldn''t help but ask.


    "It''s not my master''s voice!" Yin Changli said with absolute certainty.


    He was too familiar with his master''s voice.Although the voice emanating from the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas sounded similar, the subtle difference allowed Yin Changli to discern that it was a fake.


    "Master..." Yin Changli choked up, believing that Mu Qingge had been killed.


    "Let''s go!" Xu Muhai grabbed Yin Changli''s arm, shattered a nearby stone pillar with a palm strike, and prepared to use it as a weapon to fight their way out through the corpses.


    However, at that moment, Mu Qingge''s voice echoed again from the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas: "Where are you going? It''s dangerous outside, come in quickly."


    "Shut up, don''t you dare speak with my master''s voice!" Yin Changli''s face turned red, veins bulging on his neck as he roared towards the unknown entity in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.


    "Hehe."


    A giggling sound made Xu Muhai and Yin Changli shudder. Wasn''t it the same voice they had heard before?


    Was the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas actually a place to suppress that thing?


    No wonder they were warned not to enter the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas!


    "Hold on to me, we''re getting out of here," Xu Muhai said loudly.


    As he was about to lead Yin Changli away, the childlike voice from the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas spoke again: "Hehe, want to leave? Can you still escape?"


    "I''ve gone through a lot of trouble to get you in here, I won''t let you escape."


    With that, two blood-red ghost claws flew out from the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, reaching for Xu Muhai and Yin Changli! S§×arch* The NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "Get lost!"


    Xu Muhai roared, swinging the stone pillar directly at the ghost claw.


    The stone pillar shattered with a loud bang, but the ghost claw continued its relentless advance, grabbing Xu Muhai by the neck and lifting him off the ground.


    The other ghost claw flew towards Yin Changli, who stepped back in fear.


    As the ghost claw closed in, he was powerless to resist.


    However, at that moment, the Xuanyuan wooden sword on Yin Changli''s back suddenly trembled.


    Accompanied by a fierce sword cry, it flew out, slashing towards the ghost claw.

 Chapter 044 – Ghosts

    An unparalleled aura of dominance emanated from the Xuanyuan wooden sword!


    The ghostly claw reached out and grabbed the blade of the Xuanyuan sword. The next moment, thick white smoke began to rise from the claw, and the Xuanyuan sword started to tremble violently.


    It seemed to be resisting the erosion of the ghostly claw with its own Spiritual Power.


    "What is this thing?!"


    The voice sounded somewhat frantic. The ghostly claw retracted as soon as it touched the Xuanyuan sword, and blood started to flow from it.


    The mangled flesh made it look even more terrifying.


    "The Xuanyuan sword!" Yin Changli exclaimed excitedly.


    He hadn''t expected the Xuanyuan sword given by Li Changqing to possess such power.


    However, at this moment, the Xuanyuan sword clattered to the ground, a mark from the ghostly claw left on it.


    "Ah!"


    Yin Changli quickly picked it up, looking at the mark left on the wooden sword. He understood that although the Xuanyuan sword had blocked the ghostly claw, it had also been eroded.


    "Hmm?" Yin Changli noticed that the mark of the ghostly claw was slowly fading away.


    This gave Yin Changli some relief, but he also knew that even though the Xuanyuan sword was recovering, it probably wouldn''t be able to withstand another attack.


    "Senior Xu." Seeing Xu Muhai being grabbed by the ghostly claw, Yin Changli was at a loss for what to do.


    "Little guy, your treasure is quite impressive, but I wonder how many attacks it can withstand." The voice echoed.


    The next moment, a small figure floated out from the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.


    It was a boy who looked to be only six or seven years old.


    The boy was dressed in blood-stained clothes, his eyes were blood-red, just like the twin moons in the sky. Strangely, although he was clearly a boy, his voice sounded like a little girl''s.


    Just one glance at him made Yin Changli''s hair stand on end.


    Being stared at by those eyes, Yin Changli felt his legs go weak.


    "I... My name is Yin Changli, not ''little guy''." Yin Changli gritted his teeth and said.


    "Whoosh!"


    At this moment, another figure flew out, extending from the boy''s body. The figure was holding Mu Qingge in its ghostly claw.


    Mu Qingge was struggling desperately, but how could she break free from the ghostly claw?


    "Master, you''re still alive!" Seeing that Mu Qingge was still alive, Yin Changli was overjoyed.


    "Changli, Brother Xu!" Seeing the two of them, Mu Qingge also called out anxiously. She had never expected such a terrifying existence to be suppressed in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.


    These corpses were all controlled by the boy, forcing them to the entrance of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas and breaking the seal on the door.


    This had allowed him to be released.


    From the painting, or even from the Qishan Order, it was all a conspiracy!


    At this moment, Xu Muhai was also in danger.


    The boy''s strength was too strong. Even if Xu Muhai recovered his cultivation, he would not be his opponent.


    "I thought suppressing your cultivation would make things easy, but I didn''t expect it to still take some effort." The boy''s feminine voice said, his blood-red eyes staring at Yin Changli as the ghostly claw flew towards him again.


    Yin Changli didn''t have time to escape and was grabbed by the neck.


    The three of them were held by the hands extending from the boy''s body.


    The scene was extremely eerie.


    "There were supposed to be four of you, but why are there only three?" The boy frowned.


    His gaze swept over the entire Cold Sand Ancient Temple, but he couldn''t find the fourth person.


    "Forget it."


    "Just the three of you will do. You seem to be people of status, which fits my selection criteria." The boy sneered.


    As he spoke, the boy''s expression began to twist!


    His facial features also became distorted.


    His face seemed to twist to the sky, an expression of extreme pain.


    At this moment, a sound came from his throat.


    The sight shocked the three of them. What was this boy''s purpose?


    The next moment, a shocking scene unfolded.


    A chubby little hand stretched out from the boy''s mouth.


    The little hand was green, like a baby''s hand. The next moment, a small head squeezed out from his mouth.


    It was a green baby, with white eyes and no pupils, a complete ghost child!


    "It''s the Ghost Spirit Clan!"


    Xu Muhai''s pupils dilated.


    There were many branches within the Ghost Clan. In history, the Ghost Spirit Clan was a peculiar race. They could seize people''s souls and survive by parasitizing hosts!


    Because they were against the natural order, they were exterminated by the human race and other races many years ago.


    This ghost child was a Ghost Spirit.


    The small ghost child crawled out, and as soon as one came out, another followed.


    The third... S~ea??h the N??elFir§×.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    The appearance of the three ghost children left the boy panting heavily, his face even becoming aged.


    He looked like an old man with a child''s body, a terrifying sight.


    "Go, my darlings."


    The boy''s voice also became aged.


    The three ghost children let out a couple of eerie cries, then began to crawl towards the trio along their long, ghostly arms.


    "Not good!"


    Mu Qingge''s face changed, "They want to parasitize us!"


    If they were parasitized, their souls would die, and the ones occupying their bodies would be these three ghost children.


    No one could predict what terrifying things would happen then.


    They watched as the three ghost children crawled closer, but they were utterly helpless.


    All they could do was wait quietly for death.


    "Excellent." The male ghost child licked his lips and sneered, "Feast well, children, then leave this place and go where you should."


    "My followers of the Longevity Sect should already be waiting for you."


    Just as the three were preparing to meet their end, the ghost child suddenly looked up, his expression changing instantly.


    "Evil creature."


    A voice echoed through the air.


    Li Changqing was seen flying in mid-air, stepping on a piece of Longevity Wood.


    "Senior Changqing..." Yin Changli saw Li Changqing flying on the Longevity Wood, he was both excited and surprised. How could Li Changqing fly without a flying sword, but by stepping on a piece of wood?


    Li Changqing couldn''t fly originally. His ability to fly was entirely due to his powerful Divine Soul controlling objects, making the controlled objects fly, and then stepping on them.


    So, he might even be able to fly by stepping on a pile of dog poop.


    "The fourth person." The ghost child saw Li Changqing coming and his eyes lit up.


    "Brother Changqing, save us!" Seeing that Li Changqing could still fly and his cultivation was not suppressed, Mu Qingge and Xu Muhai saw hope.


    "Whoosh!"


    Another huge arm flew out from behind the ghost child, reaching straight for Li Changqing.


    But Li Changqing casually waved his hand, and a wooden carving flew out.


    The moment the wooden carving flew out, it suddenly burst into golden light, and at the same time, a Buddhist chant was heard!


    Om Mani Padme Hum!


    The Buddhist mantra emanated from the wooden Buddha statue, and the Buddha light on the statue instantly expanded like a giant, suppressing everything with its sound!


    The ghostly claw that flew over was instantly turned to ashes!


    "Buddha!"


    The male ghost child''s expression changed dramatically in an instant!


    PS: For those who like historical novels, I recommend a new book by a friend, "Tang: How to Survive as a Beggar at the Start".

 Chapter 045 – Buddhas light is boundless

    He seemed to have a particular dread of Buddha.


    So when he saw the Buddha suppressing him, accompanied by the sound of true words, it made him particularly uncomfortable. S~ea??h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Under the Buddha''s light, the ghost claw seemed to have encountered a great restraint. Despite the ghostly energy soaring into the sky, it couldn''t withstand the arrival of the Buddha''s light and was directly destroyed.


    Xu Muhai and Mu Qingge also fell from the ghost claw.


    The ghost children climbing on the ghost claw''s arm felt the Buddha''s light and let out a wail.


    The sound of a baby''s cry mixed with a fierce roar was so chilling that it penetrated into the bone, making people uncomfortable.


    It was hair-raising.


    A black smoke was emanating from their bodies, seeping out from their skin.


    Their skin also began to rot.


    At this moment, Li Changqing''s wooden Buddha carving shone like the sun, and the boy was in great pain. In his eyes, besides the dread of the Buddha''s light, there was more resentment!


    "Impossible!"


    "Buddha has long disappeared, who are you!"


    The boy roared, and the three ghost children were purified into dust by the Buddha''s light.


    "It doesn''t matter who I am, what matters is, you won''t harm people." Li Changqing stepped on the longevity wood, slowly descended, and the Buddha above his head slowly descended.


    The boy was almost forced to kneel down, but his strength was undoubtedly strong. Although he was suppressed by the Buddha''s light, he was not directly eliminated by the Buddha''s light like the other ghost children.


    "Brother Changqing, thank you for saving our lives." Mu Qingge felt like she had survived a catastrophe, and thought of Li Changqing''s miraculous appearance, like a god descending from the sky.


    Although Li Changqing was an ordinary-looking man, the scene just now stirred a ripple in Mu Qingge''s heart.


    Since ancient times, which beauty doesn''t love a hero?


    "Brother Changqing, you saved me again." Xu Muhai was also extremely grateful.


    "Woo, Senior Changqing, I thought I was going to die." Yin Changli rushed up and clung to Li Changqing''s thigh.


    "Remember this." The boy suddenly grinned: "Although I couldn''t parasitize them, this matter is not over, we will have dealings in the future."


    With that, the boy glared at the wooden Buddha with the Buddha''s light above his head, gritted his teeth, and flew into the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.


    With a bang, the door of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas also closed tightly.


    Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, and with a wave of his hand, the wooden Buddha in the sky fell into his hand, turning into an ordinary wooden carving.


    This was just carved by Li Changqing. He had heard the conversation of several people. Since the Ghost Clan was so afraid of Buddhism, he carved a Buddha statue to see if it could suppress these ghosts.


    Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good.


    But the mysterious boy in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas failed to kill him.


    But Li Changqing had no intention of entering the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.


    Who knows what''s inside, what if he walks into a trap?


    Who will take care of his son if something happens to him?


    "Are you all right?" Li Changqing quickly helped everyone up.


    "Kid, don''t hold my thigh, my leg is numb." Li Changqing quickly tried to push Yin Changli away: "Hey, don''t wipe your snot on my pants!"


    "Senior Changqing, over there..."


    Suddenly Yin Changli yelled, pointing behind Li Changqing.


    At this moment, the ground began to vibrate. They looked over and saw numerous corpses rushing up again, each corpse filled with a terrifying killing intent.


    It seemed they wanted to tear Li Changqing and the others to pieces.


    "Hmph."


    Li Changqing''s robe shook, and with a wave of his big hand, a mysterious power spread out, like a breeze blowing, accompanied by a word: "Stop."


    As soon as the word fell, all the corpses were frozen in place.


    Maintaining their rushing posture, they couldn''t move at all.


    It was as if countless invisible threads had tied them up.


    Such a move made everyone present gasp.


    Xu Muhai couldn''t believe it!


    He was speechless.


    Because this was not just any move, this was the Five Absolute Seals of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Li Changqing had actually learned it.


    Although Li Changqing cultivated the Divine Soul and followed a similar path to the Painter, the Five Absolute Seals of Dao Mountain Ancient Land were not ordinary moves.


    The Five Absolute Seals were the first very profound martial arts comprehended by the founder of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.


    Even if the Painting Sage came, it would be unlikely to replicate it.


    If only the first level of the Divine Step, the Indestructible, or the Thousand Catty Force were replicated, Xu Muhai might not be so surprised.


    But that was the third level of the Five Absolute Seals, the Body Freezing, and with a wave of his hand, he froze hundreds of corpses. This ability was beyond his reach.


    How strong was Li Changqing''s Divine Soul?


    In addition, he was not suppressed by the ghost energy here and could still use his cultivation. There were too many secrets about this man.


    "Suppress!"


    The wooden Buddha flew out of his hand, a Buddha''s sound killed out, and where the Buddha''s sound passed, all ghosts were silenced!


    Those corpses were instantly blasted into powder.


    But that wasn''t the end, Li Changqing raised his hand, and the wooden Buddha soared into the sky, flying into the ghostly sky, heading for the pair of blood-red eyes in the sky.


    Li Changqing knew that if he wanted to leave here, those blood pupils were the real key.


    The blood pupils encountered the wooden Buddha, bursting out with an extreme red color. The blood light seemed to suppress the Buddha, but the Buddha''s light from the wooden Buddha was equally dazzling.


    They were on par with the blood pupils.


    Large patches of blood color appeared on the wooden Buddha, as if it was being dyed.


    But at the same time, the blood pupils were collapsing.


    Huge cracks appeared in the whole world.


    A strong wind blew from the cracks, and they could feel that the outside world was beyond the cracks.


    "Let''s go!"


    Li Changqing grabbed Yin Changli and spoke to Mu Qingge and Xu Muhai.


    The group nodded, disappearing directly into the crevice. At the same time, the Buddha in the sky also fell from the heavens, but with a loud bang, it suppressed the entrance of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall.


    The world once again returned to a deathly silence.


    "Hehe."


    "Have you really run away?"


    "My Longevity Sect, is about to rise."


    The voice returned to that of a young girl''s, but it sounded even more chilling.


    "Hu!"


    Inside the cave, an ancient painting fell to the ground, surprisingly igniting itself.


    Xu Muhai and the others collapsed on the ground, experiencing the feeling of surviving a catastrophe.


    Xu Muhai couldn''t remember the last time he felt this sense of life and death beyond his control.


    "Are you okay?" Li Changqing asked with a smile.


    "Once again, thank you for your life-saving grace, Daoist Changqing." Mu Qingge pursed her lips, stood up, and bowed to Li Changqing, "I hope Daoist Changqing will visit Medical King Valley as a guest. I would like to extend my hospitality as a hostess."

 Chapter 046 – Ghost Resentment Curse

    "Sure." Li Changqing took Mu Qingge''s words as a mere courtesy and nodded.


    "When will Daoist Changqing come?" Mu Qingge asked subconsciously.


    This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.


    However, after asking this question, Mu Qingge herself was taken aback.


    Li Changqing was also a bit confused. Was this a way to ask questions?


    Xu Muhai and Yin Changli were even more stunned as they looked at Mu Qingge.


    The Song Fairy of Medical King Valley, countless young talents pursued her daily, and they could line up from the entrance of Dao Mountain Ancient Land to the Cloud Wilderness!


    Countless people had been rejected by Mu Qingge when they came to propose, let alone Mu Qingge actually inviting others to visit and asking when they would come.


    Something was wrong.


    Li Changqing was also a bit embarrassed, and for a moment, he didn''t know what to say.


    Mu Qingge also felt that she had been abrupt. Just as she was about to say something to ease the awkward situation, Li Changqing''s pupils suddenly contracted, and his gaze fell on Mu Qingge''s neck.


    "What is that? Has the Song Fairy always had it?" Li Changqing asked in surprise.


    "What?" Mu Qingge subconsciously reached out and touched her neck, but she didn''t feel anything. So, she took out a bronze mirror from her bosom and looked at herself in the mirror.


    Upon seeing her reflection, Mu Qingge''s face changed drastically.


    Because Mu Qingge found a strange mark on her jade neck, the mark looked like a baby''s small paw.


    Or rather, it was exactly the same as the paw prints of the ghost children they had encountered before.


    Mu Qingge rubbed it with her hand, but found that it couldn''t be rubbed off at all. It seemed to be branded on her body.


    "Daoist Xu, you have one on your neck too." Li Changqing looked at Xu Muhai, and sure enough, Xu Muhai also had one on his neck.


    "I have one too?" Xu Muhai frowned deeply.


    "Really? Do I have one?" Yin Changli was a bit anxious.


    He quickly tilted his neck for Li Changqing to see.


    Sure enough, there was a small ghost claw mark on Yin Changli''s neck.


    Seeing Li Changqing nod, Yin Changli''s face also changed.


    "Do I have one?" Li Changqing also quickly tilted his neck for the others to see, but they all saw nothing on Li Changqing''s neck and shook their heads.


    "What on earth is this?"


    Knowing that he didn''t have one, Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief, but he was also curious about what it was.


    "What do you think, Song Fairy?" Xu Muhai didn''t understand this, so he looked at Mu Qingge. As the successor of Medical King Valley, she should know something.


    Li Changqing also looked at Mu Qingge.


    Mu Qingge''s face was still somewhat pale at this time.


    "This is... the Ghost Resentment Curse." Mu Qingge''s eyes were somewhat dull.


    "Ghost Resentment Curse?" Xu Muhai''s eyes also paused, apparently he had heard of the Ghost Resentment Curse.


    Only Li Changqing was waiting calmly for the two to explain.


    But the two didn''t speak for a long time.


    "Master, what is the Ghost Resentment Curse?" Yin Changli asked anxiously, "Will it kill people?"


    Li Changqing was very satisfied with Yin Changli''s question.


    "The Ghost Resentment Curse originates from the Ghost Clan and is a secret technique of the ghost spirits." Mu Qingge said, "The Ghost Resentment Curse is a curse released at the cost of one''s own life force. Those who are cursed with the Ghost Resentment Curse will harbor a special kind of ghost energy in their bodies."


    "If this ghost energy erupts, it will torment people to the point of wishing for death."


    "In the past, the ghost spirits used the Ghost Resentment Curse to control people. Now that we are cursed with the Ghost Resentment Curse, it means that someone can definitely control the ghost energy in our bodies to torment us."


    Mu Qingge looked at Xu Muhai solemnly.


    "Did they use the Ghost Resentment Curse instead of letting the ghost children replace us?" Xu Muhai took a deep breath, "It seems that these people have a big conspiracy."


    Mu Qingge nodded, "Do you remember the words of the boy in the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas? He mentioned a name, which is the Longevity Sect."


    "I''ve never heard of it." Xu Muhai shook his head.


    "Master, how can this Ghost Resentment Curse be cured?" Yin Changli asked anxiously. He didn''t want to experience the feeling of being worse than death that Mu Qingge had described.


    "I don''t know, I have to ask my father after I return to the sect." Although Mu Qingge knew this was the Ghost Resentment Curse, this thing had been lost for many years, and there was no record of it in Medical King Valley, so she didn''t know how to remove it.


    Seeing that even his master didn''t know, Yin Changli was almost in tears.


    His path to becoming a sword immortal might end before it even began.


    Just as they were talking, something seemed wrong with Xu Muhai. He frowned, and the small hand on his neck began to spread, emitting a black ghost energy.


    "Peak Master Xu." Li Changqing was also startled when he saw this.


    Xu Muhai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes were bloodshot, and his entire body was trembling. He even let out a low growl of pain from his throat.


    Even a strong person like Xu Muhai, whose willpower was far beyond ordinary people, was collapsing at this moment!


    "Daoist Xu!" Mu Qingge waved her hand, and many silver needles flew out, directly piercing into various acupoints on Xu Muhai''s body.


    This was a technique to help Xu Muhai alleviate the pain.


    But after the silver needles pierced into Xu Muhai''s acupoints, Xu Muhai''s symptoms did not alleviate at all.


    "Ah!!"


    Xu Muhai let out a painful roar, then suddenly got up like a madman and ran towards the stone wall in the distance.


    Bang!With a muffled thud, Xu Muhai rammed himself into a wall, his head bleeding profusely. The ghostly aura wrapped around him was clearly causing him extreme pain.


    "My goodness!" Yin Changli exclaimed in shock. Could it be that painful?


    What would he do if he ended up in the same state?


    Seeing Xu Muhai about to ram into the wall again, Li Changqing, fearing that Xu Muhai would kill himself in this manner, used a immobilizing technique and froze Xu Muhai in place.


    "You all keep an eye on him." Li Changqing dropped this sentence and then the longevity wood flew over from behind him.


    Li Changqing took out his tools and began to carve.


    At this moment, Xu Muhai''s entire body was tense, and he was in unbearable pain.


    It seemed like his spirit was about to collapse.


    Mu Qingge also tried various methods to help Xu Muhai alleviate his pain.


    However, she found that her medical skills were completely useless against the Ghost Resentment curse. Even she, the pride of the Medical King Valley, was helpless.


    It wasn''t until a quarter of an hour later that a small wooden Buddha appeared in Li Changqing''s hand.


    The wooden Buddha held a Zen staff in his hand, and beneath him was a Spirit Beast that none of them had ever seen before.


    Li Changqing and Mu Qingge took a piece of silk thread, strung the Buddha onto it, and hung it directly around Xu Muhai''s neck.


    In an instant, the ghostly aura on Xu Muhai''s body receded like a tide.


    Xu Muhai collapsed to the ground, his entire body soaked in sweat.


    The pain he had just experienced had drained his will. Although he was no longer in pain, he was unable to speak for a long time, completely exhausted. S§×ar?h the N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    "It seems to work."


    The carving Li Changqing made was a small wooden statue of the Earth Store Bodhisattva.


    Only by hanging it around Xu Muhai''s neck was the ghostly aura suppressed.

 Chapter 047 – There will be a parting

    "Senior Li Changqing, I want one too." Yin Changli was looking at Li Changqing with eager eyes.


    This time, not only Yin Changli, but also Mu Qingge was looking at Li Changqing with full of expectation.


    They had all seen the painful expression on Xu Muhai''s face just now.


    If it happened to them, they wouldn''t be able to withstand it. Even a strong person like Xu Muhai wanted to crash into a wall and die, let alone a child and a woman.


    "Hmm." Li Changqing was also shocked by Xu Muhai''s behavior just now.


    So before Yin Changli and Mu Qingge experienced this feeling, he planned to carve one for them quickly.


    The two were anxiously waiting for Li Changqing to finish carving.


    They were all worried. What if the Ghost Resentment curse on their bodies broke out during Li Changqing''s carving?


    At least suppress it first, and then find a way to solve this Ghost Resentment curse after returning to the Medical King Valley.


    Otherwise, relying solely on this wooden carving to suppress it is not a long-term solution.


    Li Changqing was carving very seriously. Fortunately, until Li Changqing finished carving two Earth Zang Bodhisattvas, neither of them had a Ghost Resentment curse outbreak.


    After threading the string and hanging this thing around their necks, the two finally felt relieved.


    "Senior Li Changqing, I really don''t know how to thank you. You have saved us many times, and this time you gave us such a precious protective item." Mu Qingge''s eyes were soft and tender at this moment, as if she wanted to say something like offering herself in gratitude.


    But in the end, Mu Qingge still said, "If there is anything that needs the help of the Medical King Valley in the future, just send a message to Senior Li Changqing, and the Medical King Valley will definitely help."


    "It''s nothing." Li Changqing patted the wood chips on his body, then stood up and said, "If my son Li Hengsheng encounters any trouble in the future, I hope the Medical King Valley can help him. If he encounters a strong enemy and is seriously injured, I also hope the Medical King Valley can do its best to save him and keep him alive."


    In this mysterious world, how could anyone have a smooth journey?


    Li Changqing understood this truth. Who hasn''t been injured? It''s natural to build a good relationship with the Medical King Valley, a legitimate medical sect.


    When reading novels in the past, the protagonist had a protagonist''s halo, and someone would come to rescue him when he was in danger.


    But reality and novels are definitely different. Where does his son get the protagonist''s halo? He might die if he encounters danger.


    He finally experienced the feeling of having a normal son, and he didn''t want to lose it.


    So since there is no halo, then dad will create a halo for you.


    Hearing Li Changqing talk about his son, Mu Qingge remembered that Li Changqing had a son, but she didn''t know if he had a wife.


    If he has a wife, wouldn''t she only be a concubine in the future?


    Wait, where am I thinking?


    "Of course." Mu Qingge smiled and said, "With such a father, your son is really lucky. It seems that your wife must be very relieved."


    "I don''t have a wife." Li Changqing shook his head.


    "You don''t?" Mu Qingge''s eyes lit up.


    "May I ask your wife...?" At this moment, Mu Qingge wanted to know whether Li Changqing had divorced his wife or his wife had passed away.


    These two results naturally represent different meanings.


    But this question stunned Li Changqing.


    Yeah, where is his wife?


    He hadn''t seen her since he came to this world, and there was no mention of her in any information. Li Changqing subconsciously thought he didn''t have a wife and was a single dog.


    But if he doesn''t have a wife, where did Li Hengsheng come from? S§×arch* The ¦Çov§×lFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    But if he has a wife, where is she?


    Did they separate, or did she pass away?


    If she passed away, it would be fine. But if they just separated and met again in the future, and he didn''t recognize her, wouldn''t it be very awkward?


    It''s easy to be exposed?


    Seeing Li Changqing in deep thought, Mu Qingge quickly said, "Senior Li Changqing, I''m sorry, I asked something I shouldn''t have."


    "It''s okay." Li Changqing shook his head, the key is that I don''t know where his mother went.


    It seems that when he has a chance, he needs to get some information from Li Hengsheng.


    Li Changqing, who had been reborn, really wanted to protect his current life.


    Calm with excitement, and a hard-working child in the distance.


    This was something he could only dream of in his previous life.

    "Let''s leave here first." Li Changqing looked around and suddenly said curiously, "Strange, where is Fei?"


    He hadn''t seen Fei since they came out.


    Before, Li Changqing and the others were only paying attention to the Ghost Resentment curse, and they didn''t notice.


    "Roar."


    With a roar, the Golden Silk Linlang Beast actually ran out from the scroll on the ground. The glow on its body had dimmed. It seemed that if no one helped it, it would lose all its spiritual energy and disappear in a few months.


    "Fei, you carry Xu Muhai, we are ready to go. When I get back, I will help you rebuild your body." Li Changqing ordered.


    Fei stepped forward, placing the unconscious Xu Muhai on his back, then led a few people out of the cave in a different direction.


    Surprisingly, this path was dry, without any water.


    However, once they emerged, they had no idea where they were in the Nan Mountain Range.


    But this was not a problem for them.


    "Song Fairy." Li Changqing turned to Mu Qingge and said, "I will take Peak Master Xu back first."


    "Alright." Although Mu Qingge was somewhat reluctant to part with Li Changqing so soon, she knew she had no reason to stay.


    "When I find a way to break the Ghost Resentment curse, I will come to Dao Mountain Ancient Land to find Peak Master Xu." She said this, but what Mu Qingge really wanted was to visit Li Changqing.


    "Okay." Li Changqing seemed to remember something and said to Mu Qingge, "About the wooden carving, if possible, please don''t spread it around, Song Fairy."


    "Don''t worry, Brother Changqing." Mu Qingge knew that if this thing was spread around, it might cause trouble.


    She would naturally not say it.


    Especially the Xuanyuan Sword in Yin Changli''s hand, if it was exposed, it might attract many people''s covetousness and bring trouble to Medical King Valley.


    "Let''s go, Song Fairy, we will meet again." After Li Changqing finished speaking, he directly mounted Fei and soared into the sky. Once he reached a high altitude, he naturally knew the general direction of Changting Town.


    Mu Qingge watched Li Changqing''s departing figure from a distance, remaining silent for a long time.


    "Master, stop looking, he''s already far away." Yin Changli said with a grin.


    "Stop it." Mu Qingge frowned and scolded.


    In an underground cave.


    There was a huge altar here, with blood flowing across it, not yet dry.


    In front of the altar stood a figure in a black robe. The figure was somewhat short, and although his face was not visible, he exuded a chilling aura.


    In front of him, several figures were kneeling on one knee.


    As if waiting for orders.


    "Although the master''s plan failed, the Ghost Resentment curse has been planted. It''s time for our Longevity Sect to take action." The man in the black robe said indifferently, "You go find the person who has been cursed with Ghost Resentment, and make clear our Longevity Sect''s stance."


    "If they resist, let them experience a fate worse than death." The man in the black robe sneered.

    "Yes!"


    The figures responded with a resounding and powerful voice.


    "The master''s plan is about to be implemented, and the entire Cangyuan Realm is about to undergo earth-shattering changes." The voice of the man in the black robe was filled with excitement. "The day the master returns, everything will be rewritten!"


    "The master is invincible!"


    The people below also began to cheer.


    ...


    Returning from the Nanshan Mountain Range, because they rode back on Fei, it only took an hour to reach the outskirts of Changting Town.


    "Brother Changqing, I''m much better now. Let''s go in to avoid unnecessary trouble," Xu Muhai said to Li Changqing in a somewhat weak voice.


    "Alright." Li Changqing also felt that flying into Changting Town on the Golden Silk Linlang Beast would attract too much attention.


    So they found a secluded place outside the town for Fei to land.


    "Return."


    Li Changqing flicked the scroll, and the Golden Silk Linlang Beast flew directly into it and disappeared.


    It turned into a painting.


    Although it wasn''t the first time he had seen this, Li Changqing still found it somewhat magical and unbelievable.


    "I''ll support you."


    Li Changqing wanted to help Xu Muhai, but Xu Muhai waved his hand, indicating that he could walk now, there was no problem, he was just a bit weak.


    The torment from the Ghost Resentment curse had not only affected his spirit but also his body.


    Fortunately, after more than an hour of rest, Xu Muhai was now able to walk normally and wouldn''t be noticed by others.

    They followed Li Changqing back to the Yan family in Changting Town.


    "Peak Master Mu Haifeng, Great Venerable, you''re back."


    Hearing that the two had returned, Yan Botao hurried out to greet them with a few people.


    "The matter in Nanshan has been resolved," Li Changqing said to Yan Botao. "Peak Master Xu has had a hard journey. Please arrange a place for us to rest."


    "Yes!" Yan Botao quickly agreed.


    The house had already been arranged.


    In the vast Yan family, a very quiet courtyard was arranged for Li Changqing.


    In the courtyard, there was a small pond with golden carps swimming in it.


    Behind the house, a dense bamboo forest swayed in the wind. The rustling sound of the bamboo leaves was very calming.


    Yan Botao arranged many servants for Li Changqing.


    These servants and maids were carefully selected by the Yan family. They were smart and knew their boundaries. The servants were only responsible for cleaning the courtyard every day.


    Without Li Changqing''s permission, they would not enter his courtyard.


    The maids were young and beautiful, all between sixteen and eighteen years old. They were beautiful and had sweet voices, very pleasing to the eye.


    If it had been before, Li Changqing might have thought these young girls were very pretty, all of them were very charming.


    But after seeing Mu Qingge, these people could no longer make Li Changqing feel any different from ordinary people.


    Moving from Changqing Art Workshop to such a luxurious place, Li Changqing didn''t feel uncomfortable, but rather enjoyed it.


    He had carved wood for a lifetime in his previous life, couldn''t he enjoy himself in this life?


    However, without a computer, a mobile phone, and modern things, Li Changqing was somewhat bored.


    "Great Venerable."


    At this time, a young man''s voice came from outside.


    Li Changqing came out and saw.


    Standing at the gate of the courtyard was Yan Hanzhou.


    Yan Hanzhou was now dressed in golden clothes, full of vigor and vitality, completely different from his previous state. When he saw Li Changqing, Yan Hanzhou bowed respectfully from the bottom of his heart.


    It was this man in front of him who had changed his fate.


    He had comprehended a set of "Furious Thunder Nine True Fist" from the small wooden carving that Li Changqing had given him. Although he had just stepped into the Postnatal Realm, with this set of fist techniques, he was already unmatched among the disciples who had just entered the Postnatal Realm. sea??h th§× nov§×lF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    Following Yan Hanzhou were the servants of the Yan family, carrying some wood.


    This was what Li Changqing had ordered, asking the Yan family to find suitable wood for him.


    Yan Botao had found the most suitable wood for Li Changqing and had it delivered here.


    "Thank you, just put it in the courtyard," Li Changqing ordered.


    "Yes."


    The people put the wood in the small courtyard and then left respectfully.


    Yan Hanzhou also left after paying his respects.


    Li Changqing then took out the scroll and released the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    As soon as the Golden Silk Linlang Beast came out, it looked at Li Changqing eagerly. It felt that its spiritual energy was getting lower and lower.


    "Don''t worry."


    Li Changqing reached out and patted the Golden Silk Linlang Beast''s head, then told it to lie down obediently on one side.


    Then Li Changqing carefully observed for a while before choosing a large piece of wood and began to carve.Carving the Golden Silk Linlang Beast was not as casual or quick as other carvings, mainly due to its large size, which required a considerable amount of effort from Li Changqing.


    Nevertheless, after two days of hard work, on the third day, a lifelike wooden carving of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast appeared in the courtyard.


    "Roar!"


    Fei let out a loud cry. He carefully examined the wooden carving in front of him, his eyes revealing an incredulous expression, as if he had discovered an astonishing treasure.


    He had been watching all along, witnessing how Li Changqing transformed an ordinary piece of wood into a carving that resembled him using a special knife.


    And it was an exact replica.


    He even had a vague feeling that the wooden carving looked a bit more handsome than him?


    Such a miraculous craftsmanship made Fei once again realize the extraordinary nature of his master.


    "Give it a try," Li Changqing said to the Golden Silk Linlang Beast.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast stood up and circled the wooden carving several times. It could sense the extraordinary nature of the carving, and an immense Spiritual Power, like a vast river, was emanating from it!


    An inexplicable attraction drew it in, much like a dog''s irresistible temptation for a bone.


    The Golden Silk Linlang Beast leaped up and jumped towards the wooden carving.


    In an instant, the physical body of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast shattered and turned into tiny balls of light, all of which poured into the wooden carving.


    The entire carving was enveloped in golden light, and at the same time, it began to emit a breath of life.


    A genuine breath of life.


    Completely different from when it emerged from the painting before.


    The sense of oppression was also different, as if the Golden Silk Linlang Beast had been endowed with more things. However, what exactly these things were, even Li Changqing himself did not know.


    Yet, the aura of the Golden Silk Linlang Beast harmonized with heaven and earth, blending with all things, giving a sense of unity with the universe.
