"You'll regret it," Li Qingshan said seriously.
Hwa Seung-zan stared at Li Qingshan. Gradually, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Li Qingshan raised his eyebrows. "Are you done laughing?"
Hwa Seung-zan held Li Qingshan's shoulder. "Sorry, sorry. I really couldn't hold it in." After laughing for a while, he said, "I'm willing to take care of you not only because of her instructions. You're really too interesting. If you were a little more handsome, it wouldn't be impossible. "
Li Qingshan felt a chill run down his spine when he returned the words.
Hwa Seung-zan laughed as he rode the wind and flew into the sky. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he muttered to himself, "Do you regret it?"
Li Qingshan turned around and returned to the courtyard. He saw Liu Chuanfeng holding the wine jar and pouring it into his mouth. Sun Fubai seemed to be trying to persuade him.
Liu Chuanfeng didn't listen to him. He put down the wine jar and said, "I paid for this table of food and wine out of my own pocket. When other masters come to Hundred Flavors Tower to eat, the shopkeeper will welcome them with open arms. No matter what they eat, he won't charge a single spirit stone, but I have to pay the bill honestly. If I want to bargain, I have to be looked down upon. What's all this for? It's all to get you to acknowledge the school of Novels and learn their methods!"
Sun Fubai said, "Junior Brother, just say a few words less!"
"Little Ann, let's go." As Li Qingshan spoke, he brushed past Liu Chuanfeng as if he didn't see him.
Little Ann jumped up and followed him into the depths of the bamboo basket.
Liu Chuanfeng was stunned, and he suddenly threw the wine jar on the ground. "Go, all of you go. You're all the same anyway. You all look down on me."
Li Qingshan suddenly stopped and said without turning his head, "Liu Chuanfeng, please behave yourself. Perhaps you can still get some respect from me, but if you only know how to drink and throw a fit … That was indeed not worthy of respect. The school of Novels had fallen to such a state. You'd better think about the source of all this! "
Liu Chuanfeng was speechless.
"Well said!" A man with a tall crown on his head slowly walked over. He was thin and unsophisticated, and was none other than the Head of the Yin-yang School, Ma Buyi.
Sun Fubai thought to himself, Cloudwisp Island today. It was really bustling like never before. It was him. He had brought this vitality, but how long could he maintain it?
Li Qingshan said, "Li Qingshan greets Master, I didn't know you were coming. What's the matter? "
As expected. Ma Buyi's gaze fell on Little Ann, his eyes filled with amazement and expectation. "I'm here for Little Ann. Have you heard of the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots?"
Li Qingshan shook his head, but Sun Fubai said in surprise, "Could it be the supreme secret technique of the Yin-yang School, the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots?"
After Sun Fubai's explanation, Li Qingshan learned that the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots was an ancient cultivation technique passed down from ancient times. Its value was even higher than the Buddhist Vajra Demon Subduing Technique, and it was extremely difficult to cultivate. Not only did one have to be extremely sensitive to the five elements, but they also had to be able to use them freely. Even in ancient times, there were very few people who could cultivate it.
However, once it was cultivated, it would be incredibly powerful. As long as one was willing to learn it, they could use almost all of the five elements and yin and yang techniques. The most powerful aspect of the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots was not combat, but divination. It could predict the past and future, and predict the changes of fortune.
"Little Ann happens to be the perfect successor for this secret technique." Ma Buyi's eyes lit up. He was eager to see the effects of Little Ann practising this secret technique of the school of Yin-yang.
Li Qingshan said, "Little Ann is a disciple of buddhism after all. This probably isn't something we can decide."
Ma Buyi said, "I've already discussed it with the One Thought master. He's agreed."
"Don't the two clash?" Li Qingshan was rather surprised. He never thought the One Thought master would be so generous, willing to let his primary disciple spend time and effort on another cultivation technique.
"You have no idea. There are many differences between ancient cultivation techniques and modern cultivation techniques. In particular, they are completely different from buddhist cultivation methods, so they don't clash with the Guardian King's Demon Subduing Technique."
"But his cultivation speed will definitely slow down." Li Qingshan immediately saw the crux of the issue.
This was also the reason why the One Thought master agreed to Ma Buyi's request. Little Ann's cultivation speed was just far too fast, which made him rather fearful for some reason. He obviously did not understand the great wishes made in the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty. This was just the instinct of a monk.
"That's right, but I think it's worth it. As a Heavenly Meridians prodigy, Little Ann might be able to progress smoothly as a Qi Practitioner without any obstructions, but once he reaches Foundation Establishment, this advantage will no longer exist. Every single step further up becomes even more difficult, so his foundation will become especially important. Why don't he use this period of advantage to make his foundation even more stable?"
Li Qingshan found it reasonable. He asked Little Ann, "What do you think?"
Little Ann lowered her head in thought for a while like an adult. She glanced at Li Qingshan and nodded in agreement.
Seeing how Little Ann had agreed, Ma Buyi smiled. He was a clever person. Looking at the situation, he thought, This Li Qingshan really is extremely important to her. Does she want to slow down her cultivation speed and wait for him?
However, Little Ann's intentions were not what Ma Buyi thought. It was different from what the One Thought master and the other school leaders had predicted. As a matter of fact, it was the complete opposite. She was worried about being separated from him, but she was also afraid that she would be the one to fall behind.
In the past, Oxen had once told her that his path would be extremely treacherous. She would have to do everything she could to keep up with his footsteps. If she felt like she couldn't persevere, then she should give up on the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty!
How could she give up on it? Whether it was the Guardian King's Scripture of Demon Subdual or the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots, they were like rocks to mountains compared to the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.
Her cultivation speed was actually not particularly fast. Compared to Li Qingshan who had transformed into a daemon, her cultivation still paled slightly in comparison. This was because the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty was just far too profound. Even with her talent for comprehension, every single step forward was extremely difficult for her. However, she used the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty as a foundation and assumed the appearance of a mortal, which was why she was able to achieve the miracle of reaching the sixth layer in a single day and night.
This body condensed from the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty might be an astonishing Heavenly Meridians prodigy in other people's mouths, but to her, it was just an illusion, a reflection of the moon in the water.
Compared to Li Qingshan, who practised both the human and daemon paths, she seemed like she had two faces, but she actually only had a single path, which was the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty. Obviously, she could cast aside this path. She only practised the Guardian King's Scripture of Demon Subdual. With the budding effects of this ability, she could cultivate it to Foundation Establishment. It wouldn't be difficult for him to go even higher.
However, the requirements of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty did not just lie in talent and comprehension, but also in willpower and mental fortitude. Once the pursuit of the appearance of vermilion. It would surpass the importance of the nature of white bone and the buddhist dharma. It would surpass the cultivation method itself. By then, if she wanted to turn back and practise this technique, the difficulty of her cultivation would increase greatly.
At the very least, in this world, no one could overcome this obstacle. Even with Little Ann's talent for comprehension. She would not be able to reopen this closed door. She still had to accompany Li Qingshan to go beyond the Nine Heavens. How could she give up on a great mountain for a pebble?
On the Ice Sword Cliff, she had personally witnessed the instant Oxen struck. The shock she felt was no less than Li Qingshan's. If Oxen wished for the day when Li Qingshan could stand shoulder to shoulder with him … Then what right did she have to follow by his side? The Guardian King's Scripture of Demon Subdual or the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots? What a joke.
The Path of White Bone and Great Beauty was her only choice.
As a result, even without Ma Buyi, she would still slow down her cultivation speed. This just happened to provide her with a decent excuse. Moreover, observing the pebble could aid her in comprehending the great mountain.
She was rather interested in the divination techniques of ancient cultivators, because such a technique existed in the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty. However, her current cultivation was too low, so she could not come into contact with it. Right now, she could only start with the basics and understand it in advance so that she could make some preparations for the future.
Ma Buyi said, "This is not the place to pass on techniques. Come with me to Bogu Island!"
Little Ann glanced at Li Qingshan. Li Qingshan smiled and said, "Go. Cultivate well with patriarch Ma. I happen to be meditating in the afternoon."
After sending off Little Ann, Li Qingshan was just about to return to his room to take medicine and cultivate.
However, Liu Chuanfeng suddenly stood up, "I-I have a good place for cultivation here."
"Oh?"
Liu Chuanfeng took Li Qingshan into the depths of the courtyard. There was an empty space basically in the centre of the huge courtyard. The surroundings were originally sealed off, so Li Qingshan had not discovered it in the morning.
The formation engraved on the empty space was very similar to the Spirit Gathering formation Li Qingshan had seen in the secluded cultivation room in the Hawkwolf Guard in the past, but it was much larger and more complicated. Moreover, the grooves on it had all been filled with spiritual stones, and they did not seem like regular inferior spiritual stones.
As soon as Li Qingshan extended his hand, he was blocked by a great force. He was unable to take a single step closer to the formation. He could sense that even if he daemonified, he would not be able to break through this force.
Liu Chuanfeng took out his waist tablet as the leader of the school of Novels. The design of the waist tablet was different from that of regular disciples. It was extremely intricate. Half of it was a rising and falling cloud, while the cloud transformed into various figures, plants, birds, and beasts. Every single one of them was as thin as a mustard seed, yet they were also extremely detailed.
Liu Chuanfeng raised the tablet, and the formation flashed slightly. With a hum, it seemed like some mechanism had been activated. Liu Chuanfeng indicated to Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan walked towards the formation. This time, there were no more obstructions.
As soon as he entered the formation, Li Qingshan sensed an extremely pure and tremendous power. It was much more powerful than what he felt in the secluded cultivation room in the Hawkwolf Guard.
And, he could sense that the formation was not just for gathering the spiritual qi of the world. Instead, it was connected to an even larger and more complicated system.
Li Qingshan had a good feeling about it. That was the massive formation that enveloped the entire Hundred Schools of Thought. The formation on Cloudwisp island was one of the crucial points of the formation.
The Lake of Dragons and Snakes had always been a rare blessed land for it to be chosen as the base of the Hundred Schools of Thought, and the paths chosen by the ten schools of thought were blessed lands among blessed lands. The various islands were connected by underground spiritual veins, and the places they had chosen to construct formations were the crucial points of the spiritual veins.
Through the gathering of the formations, the spiritual qi had reached an unbelievable density. It was a rare holy land for cultivation, but only the leaders of the schools had the right to cultivate here. Even primary disciples did not have that right.
However, the school of Novels had already declined to such a state, so the various rules were basically useless. Liu Chuanfeng had also witnessed Li Qingshan's wealth, so he was unable to think of anything else that could interest him.
Being in the formation, Li Qingshan increasingly felt the importance of the word "earth" in "wealth, companionship, method, and location". Cultivating here, even if Qi Practitioners could not absorb the spiritual qi of the world, the effects would still be ten times stronger than cultivating outside.
Moreover, he could absorb the spiritual qi of the world, and his Qi Refinement would experience a qualitative improvement.
Although he could not completely understand the value of the formation, he knew that according to the rules of the Hundred Schools of Thought, using any facilities would require a fee of spirit stones.
Just as he was about to ask, Liu Chuanfeng said, "Cultivate well!" He turned around and left. He had wanted to use the drunkenness to reveal the truth and move Li Qingshan, but he did not expect it to have the opposite effect. Li Qingshan was disheartened and no longer had any hope. It was indeed a waste for such a person to cultivate the techniques of the school of Novels!
Looking at Liu Chuanfeng's somewhat lonely back, Li Qingshan said, "Wait."
Liu Chuanfeng turned around, and Li Qingshan said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Liu Chuanfeng forced a smile and said, "You're welcome. You're the only disciple of the school of Novels."
"But I'm sorry." Li Qingshan was clear about gratitude and grudges. He would definitely think of ways to repay them, but he could not waste his precious time to cultivate a technique with no future to repay them.
Liu Chuanfeng said, "You don't need to say anything. I understand, and I won't force you anymore."
Li Qingshan said, "Why do you have to write that kind of book?"
Liu Chuanfeng lowered his head and clenched his fists. "I don't want to write that kind of thing. I know that the novels I write are trash, but no one is willing to read them. But no one is willing to read the things that I write seriously. A novel that no one wants to read won't gather any power of faith. "
"Then why don't you just give up on the techniques of the school of Novels? With your cultivation of the tenth layer of Qi Refinement, if you work hard, you have a high chance of reaching Foundation Establishment."
"If that's the case, I'll become an ordinary cultivator, and the path of the school of Novels will really be severed. The previous head of the school of Novels, who was also my master, held my hand before he died and asked me to pass down the path of the school of Novels. Although you look down on me, regardless of whether you look up to me or not, I'm still a school of Novels! "
After saying that, Liu Chuanfeng seemed to be relieved. He raised his head and muttered, "Master, I've tried my best."
At that moment, Li Qingshan suddenly said, "It's not impossible to revitalize the school of Novels."
Liu Chuanfeng suddenly turned around. "You're willing to cultivate the techniques of my school of Novels?"
Li Qingshan said, "I didn't say that."
"Then you?"
"But I might be able to help you, but I have a condition. Take back and destroy those novels of yours."
Liu Chuanfeng instinctively wanted to refuse. Those pieces of trash were the only treasures he had left.
