At the highest level of the Treasury Department, there were pavilions, small bridges, and flowing water. It was like a huge garden.
Pi Yangqiu sat alone among the flowers and trees, looking down at Wanxiang City leisurely.
Li Qingshan went forward to greet him. Pi Yangqiu smiled and said, "Junior brother Li, long time no see."
Li Qingshan was slightly surprised and cupped his hands. "I was angry and went a little overboard. Please forgive me, senior brother."
Pi Yangqiu waved his hand. "How can a man be humiliated by a villain? It's one thing for these fellows to take advantage of others, but now they've learned to betray others. They really don't deserve to be human. "
Li Qingshan had only met Pi Yangqiu once and did not expect him to be so reasonable. He thought to himself, 'As expected, it's easy to meet the King of Hell but difficult to hide from the little ghosts.'
"How was it? Did you enjoy your stay in Hundred Herb Garden?"
"Senior sister Ruan is very good to me."
"Of course, if not, you wouldn't have encountered such trouble."
Li Qingshan frowned. "It was indeed that Shen Yushu!"
"He's just a villain, not worth mentioning. I think your troubles are not over yet. Do you need my help? "
Li Qingshan asked curiously, "Why are you so concerned about me, senior brother?"
"Do you know how many ascended disciples there are in Myriad Phenomenon Sect?"
"Many, a few thousand!"
"Among them, you have the highest chance of becoming a successor disciple. Besides … "Pi Yangqiu smiled." I don't want these small matters to affect you and make Le Tian too proud! "
Li Qingshan said seriously, "That's true."
Pi Yangqiu was stunned. "Ha, you're not humble at all!"
Li Qingshan smiled. "Since that's the case, why bother? I believe in senior brother's judgment. However, that Shen Yushu is from Hundred Herb Garden after all, so you don't have to do anything for now. "
"Mm, that's good too." Pi Yangqiu said with a smile, "My judgment is not bad. Le Tian would not give a thousand jade lots to just anyone. You've already met Spirit Venerable Gui Hai and chosen your heavenly book, right? "
"Mm, I've already started cultivating it. It's called the Heavenly Book of Freedom."
"Sigh. It was indeed the Heavenly Book. Pi Yangqiu clapped his hands and sighed, "The Path of the Great Free Sky Devil?" His gaze turned serious, "Actually, I'm very curious. Why did the Spirit Supremacy summon you?"
"This … Can I not answer?"
Pi Yangqiu smiled and said, "Hmm, that's fine too. I'll pick a good cave residence for you. Or … a very bad cave abode. "
"This …"
"Ha, I'm just kidding, but I'm really too curious. I simply can't figure it out. The Spirit Sovereign has always been engrossed in reading books, and doesn't like worldly affairs. Even I, the Successor Disciple, am rarely summoned. He had never even been summoned before. You've just entered the sect, and your cultivation isn't that high. What's so special about you? "
Pi Yangqiu circled around Li Qingshan as if trying to see into his heart. The Successor Disciples valued Li Qingshan because of Li Qingshan's performance at the Essence Magnet Mountain, as well as his chance of becoming a Successor Disciple. However, this reason alone wasn't enough for the Spirit Sovereign to summon him. Even if he really became a Successor Disciple, the Spirit Sovereign might not like him.
Li Qingshan thought, 'Senior Brother Pi's interest in me probably has something to do with this!'
He thought for a moment, "I can tell you, but the cave abode …"
Pi Yangqiu patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me!"
The black rabbit and the Eldest Senior Sister in his sleeve also pricked up their ears. With the Spirit Sovereign's status in the Myriad Phenomenon Sect. Even if he was a shut-in, his every move was enough to attract the attention of the Successor Disciples.
Li Qingshan said, "The Spirit Sovereign wants me to leave the Myriad Phenomenon Sect."
Pi Yangqiu was stunned. The black rabbit blinked. The Eldest Senior Sister slowly swallowed her wine, extremely curious.
"Why?"
"I'm not sure. I think he thinks I'm a threat to the Myriad Phenomenon Sect!"
Pi Yangqiu swallowed. "A threat?"
He even suspected that Li Qingshan was lying. However, even a lie wasn't that ridiculous. It was because it was so ridiculous that it was inexplicably believable. However, the Myriad Phenomenon Sect was a colossus. How could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator threaten it? However, he didn't dare to question the Spirit Sovereign's judgment.
In the entire Myriad Phenomenon Sect. Apart from the mysterious Tianshu Elder, no one would dare to claim to be first in terms of divination if he claimed to be second.
"Then how did you stay?"
"Since it's a threat, it's more reassuring to stay under one's nose!"
Li Qingshan gave a vague answer. After all, the real content of the conversation was too shocking. If not for an absolutely rational existence like the Spirit Sovereign, it would have sounded like a threat to an outsider. 'If you don't let me stay, I'll definitely come back for revenge in the future!'
Pi Yangqiu heard the insincerity in his words and looked at Li Qingshan meaningfully. Whether he was seen as a threat by the Spirit Sovereign or persuaded to change the Spirit Sovereign's mind. Both were inconceivable.
What kind of background and future did he have?
"I understand. I know what to choose."
"Choose what?"
Pi Yangqiu smiled. "Which side to bet on, of course! Your bet with Le Tian has already spread among the core disciples. Le Tian set up a new bet and dragged many people into it. I'm one of them, "he patted Li Qingshan's shoulder with a serious expression." That's a huge bet. Don't disappoint me! "
Li Qingshan was speechless. He cursed Le Tian in his heart. 'So I'm still that dark horse!'
Pi Yangqiu said, "Since he bet on you to win, it means he believes you can become a core disciple on par with us. How can he just treat you as a dark horse? Even a dark horse is better than an inferior horse that no one cares about, or even a stray dog by the side of the road. And don't worry, I'll help you. "
"How?"
"For example, a very good cave abode within the Myriad Phenomenon Sect's laws. For example, the risks and opportunities in the Heavenly Book of Freedom that you're cultivating now …"
Li Qingshan asked, "What risks and opportunities?"
"You're the first to cultivate the Heavenly Book of Freedom, so there's no need to mention the risks. However, if you open up a dangerous path and record your cultivation experience and lessons to the heavens, you'll be able to obtain many contribution points and bookmarks. That's where the opportunities lie. "
"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother."
Li Qingshan came to a realisation. To the Myriad Phenomena sect and Spirit Venerable Sea Return, he was basically the "first test subject" of this heavenly writing. He possessed very high research value. Perhaps they would even organize the Heavenly Writing of Freedom according to the results of their experiments, and future cultivators could learn from him. Perhaps they would even specially spend a bookmark to purchase the learning materials!
It seemed like being a dark horse was not without its benefits, but the problem was …
"Senior Brother, are there many who bet on me losing?"
"What do you think?"
Pi Yangqiu smiled. Only a lunatic would bet on him winning if they did not obtain first-hand materials. Even if they had seen Li Qingshan's performance in the Essence Magnet Mountain with their own eyes, they would only dare to place a bet after confirming it repeatedly.
Li Qingshan asked again, "Then … will they deal with me like Shen Yushu?"
Pi Yangqiu said seriously, "Junior Brother Li, what kind of people do you think we true disciples are!?"
Just when Li Qingshan stopped worrying, he heard him continue. "Even a hundred Shen Yushu wouldn't be a match for you if any of the direct disciples wanted to deal with you, let alone a group of direct disciples."
Li Qingshan felt a toothache.
Pi Yangqiu smiled. "But don't be afraid. I'll protect you."
Li Qingshan said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to fight against so many."
Pi Yangqiu hugged Li Qingshan's shoulder affectionately. "Don't worry. They think you'll definitely lose and won't be in a hurry to make a move. We'll win by surprise!"
Li Qingshan was even more speechless. It was unreliable to expect the enemy to be careless.
"Senior Brother, something happened!"
At that moment, an inner disciple rushed over. He looked at Li Qingshan in surprise before bowing to Pi Yangqiu.
"What happened?"
"Senior Ao Xuan broke into the Dragon Pool Cavern!"
Li Qingshan's expression changed and his pupils shrank. Could it be that what he feared was coming true?
Pi Yangqiu glanced at Li Qingshan, but he did not seem surprised at all. "Sure enough, that wretched dragon can't wait any longer. Hehe, if our first senior brother Lin still doesn't return, his Xuanming dwelling will belong to the Myriad Phenomena sect!"
"Senior Brother Lin failed?"
"If reincarnation was so easy, the world would be full of immortals. The Heavenly Dao has its own tribulations to break this wishful thinking. "Pi Yangqiu seemed to be disdainful, but also seemed to be sighing.
Li Qingshan had already regained his composure, and was even calmer than usual. He asked, "Senior Brother Pi, if the Xuanming Cavern is taken back, can I buy it?"
