As for the "Water Arrow Spell" and "Water Prison Spell", they were not among Li Qingshan's choices. He did not lack offensive methods. (《》)
Finally, his gaze fell on the two paintings. Every spell had such a simple painting.
In one painting, a cultivator was stepping on a thin layer of white clouds. In the other painting, the cultivator was surrounded by rolling mist, seemingly moving forward at a fast speed.
What he wanted to learn now were the "Riding the Clouds Spell" and "Riding the Mist Spell".
These two spells were both connected and mutually exclusive.
The Riding the Clouds Spell focused on flying up and down, but the speed of advancing was not as fast as a good horse. The Riding the Mist Spell focused on moving, but it could only fly close to the ground. When the two were combined, it was riding the clouds and riding the mist, allowing the cultivator to soar freely between heaven and earth.
There was no special reason. Flying was everyone's dream, and Li Qingshan was no exception. The value of flying in the process of battle did not need to be said.
When the day came out, he directly rode the clouds and flew into the sky. At the same time, he used the Glaze Invisibility Mirror to hide his figure. Even if a foundation establishment cultivator wanted to find him in the vast sky, it would not be that easy.
Learning spells was also beneficial for deepening the control of Gui Water True Qi and stabilizing his cultivation.
If he wanted to do it, he would do it. He immediately began to study. In the secret room, Li Qingshan's hands formed a seal, and he calmed his mind. A trace of white mist began to gather in his hands.
…
In another place of seclusion, Qian Rongzhi also began her own training.
Diao Fei watched the stone door slowly close with a complicated expression. Qian Rongzhi smiled and waved at him. "I wish you a pleasant journey." In the deepest part of the stone cave, there were several black bags piled up. Inside were many round things that seemed to be trembling slightly. Bright red liquid slowly seeped out. They were supposed to be outside on a mission.
That could be said to be a gentle and amiable smile, but it made Diao Fei feel a chill in his heart. Qian Rongzhi did not ask him for a bribe. She only asked him for a "small favor". He had been outside for many years and had never been soft-hearted when it came to killing people. However, compared to this woman's method of killing, it was as simple and cute as a child. Tachydera
Those people would disappear from the world forever, and no one would even suspect her.
The stone door slammed shut, and Diao Fei turned around and left eagerly as if he was hiding from something extremely terrifying. With Qian Rongzhi's assistance, his position as a Black Wolf guard had been suspended. He could return to the Green Vine mountain to cultivate.
The verdant mountain that he had once resented suddenly seemed to haunt him. It was like a verdant pearl. At the very least, compared to the Hawkwolf mountain, compared to being with the two of them day in and day out, the Green Vine mountain was much safer.
Once he knew her secret, would she deal with him? He would have trouble eating and drinking. Fortunately, he could finally go back now.
After several days of non-stop travel, Diao Fei returned to the Green Vine mountain once again. Compared to the prosperity of the past, it seemed especially cold and lonely now.
Arriving in the main hall, the Green Vine Elder personally received him and gave him a few words of encouragement. He was amiable, but he had been through far too much already. His heart could not be roused up so easily with just a few words. All he did was pretend to be grateful.
Apart from him, there were a few men and women that he was not particularly familiar with. Some of them seemed familiar, while others he did not recognise at all. However, their cultivations were not particularly high. As a fourth layer Qi Practitioner, he actually ranked third among them.
They had all been promoted to inner sect disciples, and they were given their own duties. Every single one of them was a cushy job that they could not obtain no matter how hard they tried in the past, but now, they could only manage the sect with barely any effort. The resources and treatment they received were basically on par with the first senior brother's level in the past.
Diao Fei was assigned to be in charge of teaching the basic cultivation methods of the new disciples. This job did not stand out, but it was the most prestigious.
The Green Vine Elder gave him a few more words of advice before returning to the cultivation area. The few remaining disciples of the Green Vine mountain greeted one another.
One of them, a man with an unkempt beard, went up and said, "I'm Yu Shukuang. Greetings, senior brother Diao." Looking around to make sure no one was around, he suppressed his voice and said, "Senior brother Diao, I heard you've just returned from the Hawkwolf Guard of Jiaping?"
Diao Fei frowned slightly. The position of a hawk and a hound of the empire was not well received in the sect. That was basically touching on his sore spot, but he still answered with a "yep". "…"
Yu Shukuang said, "Then, are you familiar with Li Qingshan?"
Diao Fei immediately dared not tarry. "You know him?"
Yu Shukuang said, "Who doesn't know the great name of the Tiger Butcher?" Seeing how Diao Fei did not believe him, he said, "You can say we've met once."
There was nothing to hide about this, so Diao Fei told him about Li Qingshan's return.
Yu Shukuang seemed rough on the outside, but he was actually quite meticulous on the inside. His expression did not change, and he naturally changed the topic, talking about the daughter he took pride in.
However, he let out a sigh of relief inside. In the past, Liu Fengrui had brought the Proud Sword manor under the jurisdiction of the Green Vine mountain. As the lord of the manor, he could be regarded as half a member of the Green Vine mountain. However, he had only managed to come to the Green Vine mountain because of Yu Zijian.
The Green Vine Elder knew that Yu Zijian's future was bright, so he became interested in befriending her. As a result, Yu Shukuang had gone from half a member of the Green Vine mountain to a member of the entire Green Vine mountain, and an inner sect disciple at that.
Originally, no sect would be willing to accept an adult like him. No matter how poor the Green Vine mountain was, the Green Vine Elder would rather start from a child. How could an experienced person of the jianghu like Yu Shukuang have any loyalty to a sect?
Apart from his own gratitude, the reason why he asked about Li Qingshan was mostly because of Yu Zijian. Yu Zijian returned from the Green Vine mountain safe and sound. She told her father everything that had happened.
Although Yu Shukuang found it a pity that Yu Zijian did not accept the Sword Collection palace's invitation, he still felt like he had been quite lucky this year. He held a great celebration in the manor, but Yu Zijian always seemed to be in thought. She became much quieter, no longer as lively as before. He could not help but sigh over how his daughter had grown up.
Before he came to the Green Vine mountain, Yu Zijian had asked him to keep an eye out for someone extremely seriously. That person was obviously "Niu Juxia" who had vanished after the Herb Gathering ceremony of the three mountains.
Yu Shukuang obviously knew what kind of person Niu Juxia was. His heart skipped a beat. Did his daughter already have someone in her heart? However, she did not seem like a young girl who had fallen in love, so he asked a few more questions.
"Under those circumstances, he's probably already … What are you going to do?" He was afraid that she would say something about being a widow and dying for love.
Yu Zijian lowered her head and remained silent for quite a while. Only then did she say, "I will definitely avenge him!"
Her determination basically made him doubt whether the person before him was still his daughter. He could not help but sigh inside, Zi 'er, oh Zi' er, our daughter is not as weak as you after all.
Now that he learnt that Li Qingshan had returned safely, he became troubled over how he should contact her.
Diao Fei suddenly said, "Li Qingshan will be going to the Hundred Schools of Thought soon. Perhaps he might become your daughter's classmate."
Yu Shukuang was surprised. He smiled bitterly inside. As it seemed, there was no need for him to worry about this anymore. However, was there really some sort of fate between them? Hopefully, it wasn't an ill-fated fate.
… …
"Li Qingshan has returned." Hwa Seung-zan tossed a document before Wang Pushi.
It was Fang Enshang's report. Not only did it state Li Qingshan's explanation for Zhuo Zhibo's case, but it also contained Fang Enshang's praise for him, strongly recommending Li Qingshan to join the school of Legalism.
This was not all thanks to Qian Rongzhi. As soon as Li Qingshan joined the Hawkwolf Guard, he had cleared up several dozen old cases. He had even borrowed the power of the disciples of mohism to bring back the corpse of the Zombie Daoist, who ranked first on the blacklist. He could be described as smart and capable. Although his bearing was slightly cruel, it matched the spirit of the school of Legalism's strict laws.
Wang Pushi saw this, but he became slightly angered. "He's actually bold enough to return. Does he really think we're idiots who can't see through his tricks? Little Fang is still too inexperienced. He doesn't know how treacherous people can be. "
Hwa Seung-zan said, "Old Wang, don't be too prejudiced by first impressions. Enshang saw through him too. Li Qingshan can be regarded as a capable person when it comes to handling matters. He cultivates extremely quickly too. He can be regarded as a rare talent. He can strengthen the might of our school of Legalism."
Wang Pushi glanced at Hwa Seung-zan in surprise. "Why do you suddenly think so highly of him? Forget it, let's do this then. I can't be bothered to worry about this kid. Purging the remnants of the White Lotus Sect is the main priority." With that, he left in a hurry.
Hwa Seung-zan gazed out the window. The winter snow had begun to melt. The Awakening of Insects was brewing. He did not tell Wang Pushi the true reason. Back then on the Green Vine mountain,
Before Gu Yanying left, she had said casually, "If you see him again in the future, you might as well take care of him a little. You can say that I've given him some guidance after all."
How could he not pay attention to what she had said? It was inconvenient for him to tell Wang Pushi about this, or he would have to teach him a lesson again.
He was rather interested in this young man who was bold enough to stare at her unblinkingly, but it was impossible for him to feel jealousy. Who knew how many people had received guidance from her over all these years.
On the way back to the Clear River prefecture from the Green Vine mountain, Hua Chenglu said something he believed to be the most mature thing he had said in all these years. "Brother, you better give up. I can't imagine how she'll fall in love with a man."
All Hwa Seung-zan could do was smile bitterly and bitterly. How could he imagine it either? He had known her for all these years, and she was as graceful as the wind. Her emotions were not pretentious at all. Even now, he still could not figure out what she was thinking. When she was gentle, it was like a spring breeze, but when she was cold, it was like a blade. She was as unpredictable as the wind. Since it was the wind, why would it remain in a person's arms?
Little Ann opened her eyes. A third Skull Prayer Bead condensed in her hand.
Afterwards, she heard Li Qingshan's eager voice. "Look, Little Ann, I can fly now."
Little Ann looked back and burst out laughing. All she saw was Li Qingshan sitting with his legs crossed. He formed a seal with his hands, and layers of white clouds appeared below him, lifting him up. However, he was only a foot above the ground, and he even tottered about. Who knew how far away he was from the realm of "flying".
Li Qingshan was not embarrassed at all. He sniggered. "This is the first step of a long journey. Just watch as I fly into the sky one day!"
Little Ann's gaze was gentle. "Let's do it together."
"Of course."
