First of all, cultivation methods were not divided into detailed grades like spiritual artifacts or talismans. However, their grades were much clearer than spiritual artifacts or talismans. The level one could cultivate to would determine the level of the cultivation method. ("Vows")
For example, the Innate Method of Practising Qi that Li Qingshan was currently cultivating would only make him a third layer Qi Practitioner even at the ninth layer. This meant that this cultivation method was not very advanced. It was basically the weakest entry-level cultivation method in the world of cultivation. After that, he would have to find a new cultivation method to cultivate.
There were many more advanced cultivation methods that could help Qi Practitioners reach the ninth layer of Qi Practitioner, or even overcome the first heavenly tribulation and reach the legendary Foundation Establishment realm. As for whether there were more advanced cultivation methods, the book he read was very vague. It only said that there must be, but it could not explain why. Clearly, the author's knowledge was limited.
However, there was indeed such a cultivation method. The Path of White Bone and Great Beauty was such a cultivation method. Oxen had told Li Qingshan from the very beginning what it would be like when cultivated to the highest level. Bodhisattva.
The so-called Bodhisattva was to develop a bodhi heart and make four vows: the vow to release the boundless sentient beings; the vow to sever the boundless afflictions; the vow to learn from the boundless buddhists; the vow to become a Bodhisattva.
This was what the buddhist scriptures said. When Little Ann was on the ship, he had written it word by word on Li Qingshan's palm. The Path of White Bone and Great Beauty also had four vows:
The vow to kill the boundless sentient beings; the vow to sever the boundless buddhists; the vow to destroy the boundless buddhists; the vow to sever the boundless buddhists.
When Little Ann wrote these two diametrically opposed vows on Li Qingshan's palm, he was expressionless. Of course, this was just nonsense, but Li Qingshan could sense that he was particularly serious.
It had to be mentioned that Li Qingshan did not really understand these two great aspirations. Of course, he refused to admit that he was illiterate either. He just felt like the buddhist great figure must have suffered a very great shock, which was why he had undergone such a great change in his ideology.
After some thought, Li Qingshan came up with a more direct explanation, which was that it was very awesome. As for how awesome it was, he did not know! Perhaps no one in this world knew!
Even in this world where there were all kinds of great cultivators who could move mountains and fill seas, the Bodhisattva still sat quietly on the lotus throne, looking down at the common people with benevolent or indifferent eyes. Tachydera
Cultivators only dared to call themselves cultivators. They did not dare to call themselves immortals or buddhas. Those were things that did not exist in this world. Perhaps, they could only be seen in the Nine Heavens mentioned by Oxen. In Li Qingshan's mind, those were even more powerful cultivators, so powerful that he could not even look up to them.
The conclusion was very simple. It was self-evident what kind of divine ability it was that could allow one to cultivate to become a Bodhisattva. If this matter were to be leaked out, it would not be as simple as just slaying the demon and eliminating the devil. Instead, it would cause a raging wave in the Nine Prefectures.
Little Ann, who cultivated a high-level divine ability like the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, could be said to have an overwhelming advantage over cultivators of the same level who cultivated low-level cultivation methods. Meanwhile, Little Ann had only cultivated for a few months. He could be said to have just grasped the basics. He had not even mastered the first layer. As his cultivation deepened, this advantage would gradually expand until it was completely manifested.
These were all things that Li Qingshan was thinking about. Usually, at times like this, Little Ann would just silently look at the side of his face and feel satisfied. He did not think too much. He just wanted to stay by his side. He searched for flesh so that he could stay by his side more openly. He wanted to become stronger so that he could be of help to him and not be a burden to him.
With his extraordinary intelligence, he could understand the great terror contained within the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty even better than Li Qingshan. He could feel how great the despair the mighty figure of Buddhism had experienced to create such a magical power. He threw himself into the Avici Hell without hesitation, built a lotus throne with white bones, and used flesh and blood as food. He felt ecstasy from despair, and used his position to enter the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
However, for the sake of this goal, he would not hesitate even if he had to kill all living beings, sever all worries, destroy buddhism, and end buddhism.
Li Qingshan took out a brightly-colored hundred treasures pouch from his bosom and smiled. "Take a look at what this is."
If one were to ask where this hundred treasures pouch had come from, it would obviously be from the procuress. How could one forget to loot after killing someone? Being chivalrous and robbing the rich to help the poor were inextricably linked. He had robbed the procuress of her wealth and helped his own poverty. It was a pity that Furong had not brought a hundred treasures pouch, or else he would have had another hundred treasures pouch. However, one could not be too greedy.
"How about it? You kept your word!"
The blood flames in Little Ann's eyes flickered happily.
Li Qingshan said, "Let's see what we've gained this time." He channeled his spiritual qi into the hundred treasures pouch, and a new space opened before his "eyes". However, it was about the same size as the one he had on him.
However, there were quite a few items inside. Miscellaneous items like rouge, cosmetics, clothes, and handkerchiefs were all swept past by him. The only things that entered his eyes were pills, talismans, spiritual artifacts, cultivation methods, and other items that were directly related to cultivation.
However, there were no talismans or spiritual artifacts in the hundred treasures pouch. Clearly, after being the procuress for so many years, she had long since stopped participating in battles, which was why she had not prepared anything.
There were a few bottles of pills, but two of them were aphrodisiacs called "Pills of Passion". Li Qingshan only needed to take a whiff to feel a ball of fire rise up in his abdomen. He had no idea what kind of medicine was used to refine it, but it actually had such a powerful effect on Qi Practitioners.
The other two bottles were the exact opposite. They were called "Pills of Calming". He sniffed them gently, and his mind cleared up, but the fire in his abdomen refused to subside. His lust really was like fire, but his mind was as still as water.
There was a cultivation method called the Minor Formula. Li Qingshan browsed through it. Upon mastering it, he could reach the sixth layer of Qi Practitioner and split open his sea of qi. It was much more powerful than the Innate Method of Practising Qi, but unfortunately, it was a dual cultivation method. It required a man and a woman to cultivate together, using the other person as a cauldron. This was where the Pills of Passion and Pills of Calming were used. Once the cauldron ingested the Pills of Passion, they would be able to absorb yin and yang qi without restraint, while the person ingested the Pills of Calming would balance their yin and yang, allowing them to practise the Minor Formula.
It was no wonder that the sect opened brothels on a large scale. That way, they could find cauldrons legitimately. Earning money was secondary, while practising qi was primary. Otherwise, they would have been destroyed by the Hawkwolf Guard a long time ago for engaging in such a troublesome cultivation method.
It was obviously impossible for Li Qingshan to practise such a troublesome cultivation method. Although the Innate Method of Practising Qi was of a low level, it was easy to practise. It was a wondrous method for establishing a foundation. Unless they were truly talented prodigies, basically all cultivators would start with this cultivation method.
Casting all of these aside, he finally found two bottles of Qi Gathering pills. As it seemed, Qi Practitioners of all sects and clans would not lack basic pills like this. Although there were at least a dozen or so, it was enough to console himself. As a result, the number of Qi Gathering pills on him reached over seventy. He could be regarded as a small wealthy man.
The other items that caught Li Qingshan's attention slightly were a pile of inconspicuous accounts. He was utterly confused by them, so he decided to pass them to Zhou Wenbin tomorrow.
Next was money. A lot of money. Li Qingshan had never seen so much money in his life. There were several hundred thousand taels of silver in total. Although they were all worth a thousand taels of silver notes, they still formed a thick stack. Although Lou Cheng prioritised earning money, when he did earn money, it was like robbing money. There was no place safer than his own hundred treasures pouch, so it ended up benefiting Li Qingshan in the end.
If it were the past Li Qingshan, he would definitely go mad with joy when he received so much silver. How much meat and ginseng could he buy with that? Now, he lived a luxurious life, and his pills completely surpassed the ginseng, so he instead had nothing to spend money on.
However, if he really wanted to practise the Minor Cultivation Method, several hundred thousand taels of silver should be enough to buy quite a few girls. He fantasised about it for a while before stowing the silver and Qi Gathering pills into his hundred treasures pouch.
He passed the brightly-coloured hundred treasures pouch to Little Ann. "You've got your word. This is yours."
Little Ann placed the wooden tablet into the new hundred treasures pouch and returned the old one to Li Qingshan. He played with the items inside one by one, overjoyed. Only now did he seem like a child.
Li Qingshan looked at him and smiled slightly. He felt his taut nerves gradually relax, and he felt a trace of peace at home. No matter what, he was not alone.
A Qi Gathering pill was tossed up high and landed in Li Qingshan's mouth. Li Qingshan began to meditate and cultivate again.
At this moment, Zhuo Zhibo was in a rage. "F * ck Li Qingshan! How dare you play me like this … "Ge Jian and Qian Rongzhi were as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to reply.
"Commander, why don't we go all the way?" A Black Wolf guard made a gesture of killing, and the Black Wolf guards beside him all revealed vicious expressions. They were Zhuo Zhibo's trusted subordinates, so they obviously had to share their master's burden right now. In their eyes, no matter how powerful Li Qingshan was as a Body Practitioner, only death awaited him if he was encircled by five third or fourth layer Qi Practitioners.
"If I could kill him, I would've killed him myself a long time ago!" Zhuo Zhibo suppressed his anger. "I've already sent people to investigate him in the Clear River prefecture. There'll be results before long. We'll talk about it then. For now, none of you should come into contact with him. Ge Jian, don't go see him again either. I'll send someone else. Rongzhi, you're all new. You'll spend a lot of time together, so you need to investigate him more. "
Ge Jian let out a sigh of relief, while Qian Rongzhi's expression changed slightly. She was a vicious person, but she had been frightened by Li Qingshan's viciousness tonight.
Ge Jian then said in worry, "If they really do fight, Zhou Wenbin seems to value this kid very much, and the vice commander …"
Zhuo Zhibo said, "If they really do fight, no one in Jiaping city will be able to protect him."
Li Qingshan had no idea about these schemes in the shadows. Even if he knew, he would not have cared. He currently ate Qi Gathering pills like candy, strengthening himself. As long as his fist was tough enough, he could f * ck Zhao Liangqing first, and then f * ck Zhuo Zhibo.
