"Is that you, Minister Xie?" The King of White Deer looked around when he heard the voice. "How did you fall from the sky and cause such a huge commotion?"
"Your Majesty, I've brought a senior with me to attend the banquet!"
Below the pavilion, Xie Maoshi's face was pale and his stomach churned. He finally understood why Zhu Yingcai was covering his mouth Just Now. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could already fly with the wind. However, he was only three to five feet tall and could only travel about seven to eight miles. He had never experienced such a feeling of flying.
Looking at Li Qingshan beside him, who was standing steadily on the surface of the water, the King of White Deer no longer had any doubts about his cultivation. If he was not a Nascent Soul cultivator, how could he be so powerful?
"Oh! Senior? Who is this senior? " The King of White Deer was extremely clear about Xie Maoshi's cultivation. When he heard the word 'senior', his interest was immediately piqued. He quickly tidied up his clothes and sat firmly on his throne, exuding the majesty of a king.
"He is a Nascent Soul cultivator!"
"Is that true?"
The king of White Deer's eyes lit up. Ignoring the mess in the banquet hall, he rushed over to the side of the pavilion in a hurry. Leaning against the railing, he looked down and happened to make eye contact with Li Qingshan's jade-green eyes. As if he had been stunned by an invisible force, he immediately became speechless.
Originally, Li Qingshan felt rather disdainful towards the muddle-headed and incompetent king of White Deer. He was the ruler of a country, yet he had managed the country to such a state, purposefully taking him down a notch. Right now, his gaze was filled with judgement, which obviously possessed the power to subdue him.
Unexpectedly, the king of White Deer Country did not look like the "incapable ruler" that they had imagined. Instead, he was tall and slender, his eyes were clear and bright, and he wore a crown on his head. His appearance was extraordinary, and he actually had the cultivation of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He did not look like an incapable ruler at all.
If he was really an idiot, how could he cultivate? Even a Qi Practitioner would need to put in a lot of effort and intelligence, let alone a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
"Welcome, Senior. I apologize for not going out to meet you. Please come up and have a chat!"
The ruler of White Deer Country had a fervent expression on his face, not the slightest bit angered by Li Qingshan's display of power. Instead, he became even more courteous. He didn't look like the ruler of a country at all. He looked more like a junior who had met a senior expert.
Li Qingshan had experienced many things in the world, so he could naturally see that his attitude was not fake. It was so sincere that he could not find any fault with it. Carrying Zhu Yingcai, Xie Maoshi and Zhu Yingcai leaped lightly onto the pavilion.
Looking around, the guests were indeed Qi Practitioners. It was a gathering of cultivators. It was just that it was a little too low-end.
The other guests also stood up. Most of them were soaked in water and looked quite wretched, but none of them dared to be disrespectful to Li Qingshan. In fact, some of them even had looks of anger on their faces as they bowed and greeted, "Senior!"
Li Qingshan nodded his head reservedly. The White Deer Country Lord then asked, "How did Minister Xie meet this senior?"
Xie Maoshi recounted everything that had happened in Flowery Fragrance House. From the beginning to the end, the White Deer Country Lord was even more shocked. "Seems like such a spell is just a small trick to the senior. This broadened the horizons of those mortals. It was truly a blessing that had been cultivated for three lifetimes! Men, remove the old banquet and replace it with a new one! Musicians, play some music to welcome the senior's arrival! "
He then invited Li Qingshan to a seat of honor while he sat beside him. The sound of bamboo instruments could be heard again.
Li Qingshan watched as the almost untouched dishes were swept into the wooden buckets by the palace maids. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What was the meaning of the saying, 'Wine and meat go to waste in a luxurious house, and bones freeze to death on the streets'. He couldn't help but mock, "Fellow Daoist, you are really broad-minded. Carefree and carefree! "
Hearing the word 'fellow Daoist', the White Deer Country Lord was even more delighted, "Why do you say so, senior? How can I be worthy of such a compliment? "
"The city is surrounded by soldiers, and you still have the mood to hold a banquet?"
The White Deer Country Lord waved his hand nonchalantly, "Senior, you don't have to worry about it. They are just a bunch of lowly commoners. They only dared to do this because they were instigated by bandits. Let's starve them for a few days, and the city will be defused!"
"Let's starve them to death. Dead people won't cause any more trouble, right?"
Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows. Just by looking at the lax guards on the city walls and the starving beggars in the city, he knew that the city would not be able to hold on for long.
The White Deer Country Lord clapped his hands and laughed, "Senior, you are right."
Li Qingshan was so angry that he laughed. "What an incapable ruler!"
The White Deer Country Lord was not angry at all. "An incapable ruler is just a pile of dirt in a hundred years. Only by cultivating can one live a long life and live a carefree life. Otherwise, one is just an ant. I no longer care about the matters of the mortal world. Even the position of ruler has become a burden to me. Fortunately, I will be able to take it off my shoulders soon and continue my cultivation in the Myriad Elephant Sect! "
"The Myriad Elephant Sect again!"
Li Qingshan raised his guard and asked, "You must have obtained the Writ of Immortal Ascension?"
"What Writ of Immortal Ascension? That's just a rumor spread by ignorant people. It's actually just a bookmark. The Myriad Elephant Sect has carved many of them. If one could ascend to immortality just by obtaining one, then the world would be filled with immortals long ago."
The White Deer Country Lord laughed as he took out a brass bookmark from his sleeves. It was exactly the same as the bookmark Li Qingshan had obtained from the Hui Long's cave. Its number was second only to that of the Mystic Wood Bookmark.
"But don't underestimate this bookmark. When I reach the Myriad Elephant Sect, I will have many uses for it! To put it bluntly, this bookmark is like a mortal's gold and silver. If you want anything, you have to use this bookmark to exchange for it! "
Li Qingshan immediately understood the use of the box of bookmarks. In the Myriad Elephant Sect, bookmarks were used as currency. In other words, the money that Hui Long had saved up was divided according to the amount of Spiritual Qi and the number of bookmarks. Green jade was the most valuable, followed by silver, brass, and Mystic Wood.
Zhu Yingcai's bookmark was made of Mystic Wood, while the White Deer Country Lord's bookmark was made of brass. It seemed that this had something to do with their cultivation levels.
"It sounds like you understand the Myriad Elephant Sect very well."
The White Deer Country Lord said proudly. "Of course! Our Great Princess is cultivating in the Myriad Elephant Sect!"
"Great Princess?"
Li Qingshan was surprised. He had only heard of the Great Emperor. What the hell was a Great Princess? It was no wonder that although the White Deer Country Lord was respectful to him, he was not as fearful as Xie Maoshi. He had thought that it was because he had the temperament of a king, but now it seemed that there was someone above him.
"Ordinary mortal kingdoms only last for one or two hundred years. If it weren't for the Great Princess, how could the White Deer Country have survived for thousands of years? "
Li Qingshan thought to himself. He really was at odds with the Myriad Elephant Sect. However, this was the Myriad Elephant Sect's territory, and all cultivators were related to the Myriad Elephant Sect. He had to be careful when dealing with them, so he asked.
"What is the Great Princess's cultivation level?"
The White Deer Country Lord cupped his hands towards the sky. "The Great Princess is a direct disciple of the Myriad Elephant Sect. She has undergone five Heavenly Tribulations and is a Human Sovereign!"
Li Qingshan was shocked. It was not only because of the Great Princess's cultivation level, but also because she was a disciple of the Myriad Elephant Sect. That meant that the Sect Leader and the Elders above her were Human Immortals who had undergone at least six Heavenly Tribulations.
According to Luo Hou Xiaoming's conjecture, the Myriad Elephant Sect was likely to have a Perfected Immortal.
The Myriad Elephant Sect was definitely a colossus that he could not afford to offend. Even if he were to face the Great Princess alone, he would still be far from being her match. He had personally experienced the power of the Hui Dragon. Furthermore, it was restricted by the Laws of the Nine Provinces. In addition, he did not bring the real True Dragon Emperor Sword with him. If they were to fight again in the Mortal Realm, he would have no chance of winning.
However, he would not be intimidated by a mere title. He shouted, "So you are fearless and not afraid that your kingdom will be destroyed!?"
In an instant, his aura was released. The lights on the pavilion flickered, and the palace lanterns were extinguished one after another.
"What … what do you want to do?"
The White Deer Country Lord trembled. As a cultivator, he knew how terrifying a powerful cultivator could be. A realm higher meant a world of difference. The White Deer Country Lord's cultivation level was two realms higher than his. If the White Deer Country Lord wanted to kill him, it would be as easy as killing a bug.
"Senior, senior, please calm down!" Xie Maoshi hurriedly tried to calm him down.
All the guests trembled and wanted to leave first.
On the other hand, the surrounding guards pulled out their swords and shouted, "How dare you! Release His Majesty!"
