Qian Rongzhi was no longer the same Qian Rongzhi who was in a hurry to change her fate and hook up with a superior when she first came to Jiaping city. Now that she had the capital to wait for the right price, she understood extremely well that men were all despicable wretches. It would be easier for her to achieve her objective if she prevented them from obtaining her.
However, all of this was built on cultivation. Only with her cultivation at the sixth layer could Wu Gen regard her with importance, preventing him from using forceful methods.
Back in Jiaping city, even if she wanted to use this method to keep Zhuo Zhibo dangling, it would have been impossible. Only strength could win respect. This was one of the most fundamental laws of the cultivation community.
Li Qingshan saw all of this, but he did not expose it. Originally, he had some minor grievances with Wu Gen, so he instead pitied him a little now. He bowed. "Greetings, sir Wu."
Wu Gen saw how Li Qingshan was a sixth layer Qi Practitioner, so he did not become overly arrogant. He returned the bow casually. "Not bad. You have some talent. You can consider changing your clothes. When you enter the Hundred Schools of Thought in a few days, we'll all be family, so we should get closer. Let's go. I'll take you to see commander Hua."
"May I ask where commander Hua is?"
"Pavilion, obviously. Let's go together."
Li Qingshan was mildly surprised. Qian Rongzhi became troubled too. She had been expelled as soon as she joined the sect. She had personally slaughtered Wei Zhongyuan's son, and all of her cultivation came from the Secret Art.
"Rongzhi, I've told you before. That place isn't like what you imagine it to be. There are many interesting things there. Most of the best chefs in the entire Clear River prefecture are there. You definitely won't be disappointed." Wu Gen thought Qian Rongzhi was reluctant to go to a brothel, so he tried to persuade her gently.
Qian Rongzhi tactfully mentioned Li Qingshan's grievances with the sect.
Wu Gen studied Li Qingshan. "I couldn't tell, but you sure know how to make trouble."
Li Qingshan said, "The tree desires peace, but the wind will not cease. I'll stay here for the night and see Commander Hua tomorrow. "
"Wait!" Wu Gen took out the Crimson Wolf Tablet and flicked it. With a flash of light, he said, "Big Brother Hua, there's someone from Jiaping called Li Qingshan. He wants to see you, but he seems to have some conflict with Big Sister Qiu. Yes, okay!"
Then he looked up. "Wait a minute. He says he's coming." <
> Net. "
This made Li Qingshan feel as if he had transmigrated back in time. He was in a daze for a moment. He was puzzled. What kind of person was Big Sister Qiu?
Qian Rongzhi said in a low voice, "School Head, Begonia, Foundation Building cultivator."
Li Qingshan shuddered. The Hawkwolf Guard of the Clear River prefecture actually had such a deep connection with the sect.
Before his colleagues, Wu Gen was not as arrogant as he was in the Quiet Spring valley. However, he could not help but show off a little.
Li Qingshan and Qian Rongzhi shared the same thoughts, so they answered him reluctantly. They would look at each other from time to time, which made Wu Gen rather unhappy.
A while later, there was a long neigh outside. A fine horse with a silver mane stopped at the entrance. Its hooves actually did not touch the ground as it rode over on the wind.
The horse was a head taller than regular horses. It was covered in fine scales. It was extremely handsome. A nimble figure dismounted from the horse. It was Hwa Seung-zan.
Wu Gen smiled. "Brother Hua, why don't you sell this Silver Dragon horse to me for a thousand spiritual stones?"
Hwa Seung-zan glanced at Wu Gen. "Buying a horse's leg is more like it." His face was flushed red, as if he had applied a layer of rouge on it. However, his eyes were still clear, and when he saw Li Qingshan, his eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that the person she had mentioned would appear in front of him so quickly.
When he saw Li Qingshan's cultivation level, he was shocked again. He clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "Sixth layer of Aura Refining, impressive, impressive!"
Li Qingshan was neither servile nor overbearing as he said, "This subordinate greets Commander Hua."
Hwa Seung-zan waved his hand. "Now is not the time to work. Don't call me Commander."
Wu Gen said, "At my age, I should be in the sixth layer of the Aura Refining realm. What's so great about that?" <
> Net. "
Wu Gen had reached the eighth layer at such a young age. He could be regarded as a prodigy in the Clear River prefecture that was teeming with talented people. The only person who admired him was Hwa Seung-zan. He could not help but feel rather disgruntled when he heard him praise Li Qingshan's cultivation, and he did it in front of Qian Rongzhi.
Although Li Qingshan was only seventeen, his bearing was steady. No matter who saw him, they could not treat him as a regular teenager. Instead, he was a man who possessed his own charm.
Hwa Seung-zan said, "How many years did it take you to reach the sixth layer?"
"Around ten years. What's that got to do with this?" Wu Gen also came from an aristocratic clan. He had begun cultivating since he was young. After establishing a basic foundation, he was sent to the Hundred Schools of Thought.
Hwa Seung-zan raised a finger. "He only took a year."
"Brother Hua, you're not joking, right?" Wu Gen was immediately taken aback. He looked at Li Qingshan in surprise. He was unable to tell that this slightly rustic fellow possessed talent like that.
Hwa Seung-zan said to Li Qingshan, "Am I right?"
Li Qingshan said, "More or less."
Wu Gen's gaze towards Li Qingshan became much more cautious.
Hwa Seung-zan placed his arm around Li Qingshan's shoulder naturally. "Let's go. Come upstairs with me!" She immediately felt Li Qingshan's body tense up. He smiled, revealing his pure-white teeth. Although he was slightly drunk, it only made him seem even more charming.
Qian Rongzhi thought, Even so-called peerlessly handsome men are only like this! She was afraid of casually attacking this man's principles, even though he was much more useful to her, as she had personally seen the sect master, Begonia.
Li Qingshan had never thought he would immediately enter the nest of his greatest enemy as soon as he arrived in the Clear River prefecture. There was a Foundation Establishment cultivator there. Wasn't that basically walking right into a trap? He could tell that this Hwa Seung-zan had a close relationship with the sect. Was he planning on working with the sect to screw him over?
Hwa Seung-zan said, "There's no need to be so nervous. Relax. Women might be fierce like tigers, but they don't eat people at the end of the day. Right, Rongzhi?"
Qian Rongzhi smiled faintly. "Yes."
Wu Gen liked her even more. She really is a woman I admire. When regular women saw Hwa Seung-zan, their eyes would widen. None of them could deal with him as easily as he did.
Li Qingshan sank into his thoughts slightly. Hwa Seung-zan patted Li Qingshan's back. "Don't worry. This is my territory. I can guarantee your safety. If there's anything you want to say, just say it. I'm a mighty Hawkwolf guard. Hiding around isn't a solution."
Qian Rongzhi said, "Yeah, Qingshan. Let's go take a look!"
"As you wish, commander." Li Qingshan knew he could not turn her down. Dragging things out would only make her more suspicious, so he said firmly.
Qian Rongzhi was vicious, but her insight was very sharp too. Since she was bold enough to go, it meant she had already made up her mind. He trusted her. They were in the same boat over this matter. In reality, she was a traitor, and her crimes were much greater than his.
Even she was bold enough to go, so why would he be afraid? If he could resolve his worries, it would be a good thing.
"I said you're not allowed to call me commander, but that's more like it."
Hwa Seung-zan crouched down again and said to Little Ann beside Li Qingshan, "You must be the Little Ann that the gate wants!"
Little Ann ignored him. She only held onto Li Qingshan's hand.
Wu Gen laughed aloud. "So even you have times when you can't handle it."
Hwa Seung-zan rubbed his nose. "Looks like my charm still hasn't reached a woman your age. You better grow up soon. By then, you'll know just who's better between me and this Li guy."
Wu Gen laughed aloud, while Li Qingshan grinned. It was difficult for him to develop any ill will towards him.
They walked out of the gate. Li Qingshan looked at the silver dragon horse that was moving its hooves and head. From a close distance, the horse was even more beautiful. Every muscle on its body was rhythmically beautiful. The spiritual aura floating around it was also extremely pure.
Li Qingshan knew that this was a spiritual beast tamed by humans. If he went by the standards of daemons, it would be a relatively powerful daemonic beast. The saddle and the hooves on its hooves all flickered with light. They were worth a high grade spiritual artifact at the very least. Coupled with the daily cost of raising it, it was not something that regular Qi Practitioners could afford. Even if they could afford it, there was no need for it at all.
However, the Hua Clan's strength was precisely displayed in such unnecessary places.
"Do you want to ride it? Come, I'll carry you up. " Seeing that Little Ann was also staring at the silver dragon horse, Hwa Seung-zan seemed to be unwilling to let his charm fail. He smiled and said.
Little Ann still shook her head. Li Qingshan carried her and placed her on the horse. He patted the horse's body lightly. "Sit, there's still a long way to go!"
"Be careful!" Hua Chengzan reminded him in a hurry, but all he saw was the Silver Dragon horse standing there without moving as if it was stunned. "That's strange. This bastard is normally very fiery. If I don't discuss it with him, he'll never let anyone ride him."
Although horses were not as smart as humans, they still had a sense of danger that humans did not have.
Wu Gen also took out an item that looked like a tablet and summoned a fine horse. Although it was not as good as the white dragon horse, it was still an extraordinary spirit beast. He then invited Qian Rongzhi to get on the horse.
Qian Rongzhi nodded to express her gratitude and sat on the horse gracefully.
Hwa Seung-zan and Wu Gen led the horse, and the group walked along the street towards the building. Along the way, Hwa Seung-zan and Wu Gen discussed the pros and cons of all kinds of riding beasts. Horses were not the only ones among them. The price was extremely high, and the whole set of equipment would cost at least a few thousand spirit stones.
Li Qingshan also did not have a word to say. He felt like a kid from the countryside listening to a young master in the city talking about what kind of car to buy.
Although it was not that he could not afford it, he would definitely not spend spirit stones on this kind of thing. He wanted to convert every spirit stone into his own strength so that he could fly higher into the sky.
Of course, if he really wanted a mount, there were a few good looking demonic beasts in the underground. These wild demonic beasts, even if they were captured alive by humans, could not be tamed. However, it was natural for the leader of the demonic soldiers to bully his subordinates.
However, if he wanted to return there, just his identity as the leader of the daemon soldiers was nowhere near enough. He needed to undergo the heavenly tribulation and become a Daemon General. Only then could he reclaim that region.
Hwa Seung-zan would even introduce the local customs and culture of the prefectural city from time to time. He was full of witty remarks, so no one would feel like they had been left out.
