A beam of red light soared into the sky, tearing through the night sky. Killing intent swept through like a gale.
Zhang Yuntian's expression changed. That was from the direction of Myriad Flower Tower. Did he attack? But Just Now, two top experts had entered and fought with him, but there was no such change. What did Xuanfeng do to anger him?
Li Qingshan was not angered. The one who was angered was the Wild Flower Saber Soul. The killing intent that erupted instantly turned Myriad Flower Tower into a Shura killing field.
Everyone's expression changed. Some even wailed in fear.
Yang Miaozhen could no longer remain calm. There seemed to be thousands of soldiers roaring in her mind. Her body trembled like a leaf in the wind.
Many of the young masters in the tower crawled under the table. They could not resist the terrifying killing intent.
Zhang Xuanfeng's face turned pale. He involuntarily retreated and fell on his butt.
Li Qingshan grabbed the saber hilt. "Don't be so agitated!" Just Now, the violent killing intent was slightly restrained. He said to Zhang Xuanfeng, "Little girl, you are not worthy to bet with my saber!"
"Yes, I am not worthy. Goodbye, Sister Yang. Take care." Zhang Xuanfeng jumped up and turned to escape.
"Stop right there. Do you still want to leave after saying such arrogant words?" Li Qingshan's lips curled up. "You are not worthy to bet with my saber. But look, there is a monk here. He is Abbot Fu Ku of Pudu Temple. If you can win him back, he will definitely thank you. Come, come. If you place your bet, leave your hand!"
"Yes." Zhang Xuanfeng turned around with a sad face and slowly walked to Yang Miaozhen's side.
Abbot Fu Ku put his palms together. "Amitabha. Thank you, Almsgiver Zhang, for saving this poor monk. "
"No need to be so polite, Abbot. This is what I should do." Who would want to save an old monk. Zhang Xuanfeng said again, "Your Highness, why don't we make the chessboard public and let the people in the city see Your Highness's superb chess skills?"
"Are you afraid that I am cheating? Fine, up to you! "
A moment later, a large chessboard made of cloth hung outside the tower.
With a clang, a black piece fell on the board. Yang Miaozhen made the first move, "Your Highness, please! What is the name of the saber behind Your Highness? "
"End of the Road Wild Flower." Li Qingshan casually put down a piece.
"The End of the Hero, this name is a little inauspicious."
Yang Miaozhen glanced at him. This step was completely out of order. Could it be that he really doesn't know how to play chess? After pondering for a moment, he decided to go his own way.
"A saber is a weapon of murder, how can it be auspicious? He was a hero. What's there to be afraid of? "
Li Qingshan placed his chess piece again. He didn't even think about it.
"Well said! I wonder who His Highness is. What kind of martial arts do you practice? "
"I'm not practicing martial arts. Aren't you the same?"
"Your Highness can tell that I don't like to fight with others. That's why I don't like martial arts. Instead, I cultivate the Supreme Mystery Scripture of Daoism. "
Yang Miaozhen's hand that was holding the chess piece paused slightly. She revealed a surprised expression. The other person walked the same path as her.
She paid a great price for her cultivation. She didn't take a step out of the Xuanxu Temple for twenty years because she didn't have the ability to protect herself. When she went to Jianghu, it was very likely that she wouldn't be a match for a postnatal expert.
She also never participated in the sect's martial arts competitions. She didn't even want to fight with others, even if she was mocked behind her back for having a body full of True Qi but not knowing how to use it. She believed that she walked a brilliant path and looked down on those competitive martial artists. She thought that they were just a bunch of wild dogs fighting for food.
That was why she was probably the person who cared the least about Li Qingshan's reputation. At most, she thought that he was just a vicious wolf. Until this moment …
"You have a good temperament and are suitable for cultivation."
Li Qingshan glanced at her. Under the deterrence of the Wild Flower Saber's murderous aura, she was the fastest to recover. Her temperament was very good. Actually, from the moment she stepped into the building, he could feel that her temperament was different from ordinary people. She was closer to a cultivator than a martial artist.
Although there was no clear boundary between practicing martial arts and cultivation, their fundamental goals were completely different. Practicing martial arts was to defeat the enemy, while cultivating Qi was to live a long life. One was brave and ruthless, while the other was to cultivate one's character.
The latter's path was naturally longer, but in this small world, it was clearly not as practical as the former. If one couldn't survive one battle after another, how could one talk about living a long life? If Yang Miaozhen didn't come from a large sect like the Xuanxu Temple, she wouldn't have the qualifications to make such a choice. She wouldn't even have seen a decent Qi Refinement method.
He taught the Gui Water Condensation Method to Xue Bing because her identity allowed her to not pursue her current strength. Instead, she would be able to pursue a longer term development and have a greater chance of transcending tribulation and ascending.
"She's just naturally cold," Yang Miaozhen said. This was the evaluation that many people gave her.
"A warm-hearted person is not suitable for cultivation. The path of a martial artist is very exciting, but the path of cultivation is destined to be lonely. "
It was rare to meet a cultivator in this small world. Li Qingshan couldn't help but look at her in a different light. With her talent and temperament, if she had been born in the Nine Prefectures, she would definitely have greater development.
"I originally didn't believe that Your Highness would walk the same path as me, but now I have no choice but to believe … But, Your Highness, are you lonely?"
"If I'm not lonely, why would I stir up trouble and make the world restless?"
Li Qingshan said frankly. Trapped in this small world, even if he could do whatever he wanted, he was still a prisoner. Separated from Little Ann, even if there were millions of people cheering and worshipping him, he was still lonely.
Yang Miaozhen revealed a surprised smile. "If I had the ability, I might be like Your Highness."
"You will have the ability, or at least be stronger than everyone here. This old man's life isn't worth risking yourself. Coincidentally, last night, I also said similar words to someone else. "
"Was it Miss Xue Bing?"
"That's right."
"Then, Your Highness, what did you use in exchange?"
"Qi Training Technique."
"Qi Training Technique … Is it similar to the Taixuan Scripture?"
"Recite the Taixuan Scripture for me."
Yang Miaozhen hesitated for a moment before reciting it. In the Xuanxu Temple, the Taixuan Scripture wasn't really a secret. Outer disciples could comprehend it as they pleased, but no one was willing to practice it.
Li Qingshan listened quietly. He found that it was similar to the Innate Qi Condensation Technique that he had practiced in the beginning. At least, the Innate Qi Condensation Technique was simple and straightforward. It could only be regarded as an introductory course for cultivators. It wasn't like the Taixuan Scripture, which was extremely mysterious and didn't even know how high the sky was or how deep the earth was.
"It's hard to understand, full of nonsense, making something that was originally simple complicated. Perhaps the author didn't understand it!"
After casually pointing out a few mistakes, Yang Miaozhen suddenly felt enlightened. Her eyes shone with naivety. So it was this technique that had a problem! If the head of the Xuanxu Temple wasn't lying on the side, perhaps he would have changed the bet to a Qi Training Technique.
"If you win, I'll give you a technique, but unfortunately, you've already lost."
