Li Qingshan took out another scroll of the Cursive Sword Calligraphy. With this low-grade Cursive Sword Calligraphy as a foundation, he was confident that he had the ability to refine it.
However, after hesitating for a long time, he finally put it away.
The counterattack of sword Qi was fine. But the sword intent entering his brain was far too dangerous.
The brain was known as the Spirit Platform in the cultivation world, and it was even more important than the dantian's sea of qi.
Furthermore, it was extremely fragile. If his meridians were torn and his dantian was destroyed, there was still hope for him to recover. However, if his brain was damaged, it would be best if he went crazy.
He wasn't in any life-threatening danger right now, so there was no need for him to take this risk.
At this moment, the bug pouch at his waist trembled. Li Qingshan opened it and let Milliped out.
Milliped's body seemed to have grown a bit longer. As soon as he came out, he twisted his body and crawled around the bamboo forest like a gust of wind. "I'm suffocating."
Spring and summer were when insects were the most active. Being trapped in the bug pouch, he naturally felt very uncomfortable.
Li Qingshan felt a bit ashamed. Ever since he entered the Hundred Schools of Thought, he hadn't had a single day of leisure. During this time, he had been completely focused on the path of the sword and hadn't had time to care about his friend, Milliped.
After letting Milliped move around for a while, he opened the bug pouch. "Bear with it for now. I'll take you to eat some good food later."
When they returned to the bamboo courtyard, Liu Chuanfeng said, "You're finally out. Give me two thousand spirit stones."
Li Qingshan said, "What two thousand spirit stones?"
Liu Chuanfeng laughed. "Of course it's the duel with Chu Tian. Liu Changqing has already agreed. You have to thank me this time."
Li Qingshan counted out two thousand spirit stones and gave them to him. He asked curiously, "Why should I thank you?"
It turned out that when word of Chu Tian's duel with Li Qingshan had reached the Confucian school, Liu Changqing had originally disagreed. As the prefect of a prefecture, he could be considered a gentleman, and this matter concerned Chu Tian's safety. The two geniuses of the Hundred Schools of Thought didn't want to have an internal dispute.
Then, Liu Chuanfeng gave full play to his talent for ridicule, proclaiming everywhere that Li Qingshan would win and Chu Tian would lose. How could Liu Changqing bear to see him succeed? In a fit of anger, he agreed and set a date. Naturally, the bet had to be submitted to the Hundred Schools of Thought in advance.
Moreover. This matter also involved another clan within the Hundred Clans.
When Li Qingshan heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If the duel didn't work out, then it would be fine if they didn't fight. He didn't have any deep hatred with Chu Tian. In this aspect, Liu Chuanfeng was really powerful.
During this time, Hao Pingyang and Zhang Lanqing also came to visit. Twice, she asked him why he didn't attend the lecture. However, seeing that Zhang Xuan was cultivating his swordsmanship, Zhang Xuan didn't disturb him and left.
They also knew about the bet between Li Qingshan and Chu Tian. Right now, increasing their own strength was the most important thing, so they could only temporarily put Artifact Forging aside.
Li Qingshan said, "Uncle Fu hasn't returned yet?"
Liu Chuanfeng said, "Senior Brother sent a message back. The framework has basically been set up. The Cloudwisp Society is about to open for business. When the time comes, we'll be invited to participate!"
Li Qingshan admired Sun Fubai's ability. In such a large area, and with so many resources, to be able to reach this step in twenty days was truly not simple.
If he were to do this, he probably wouldn't be able to do it even in half a year. This wasn't a lack of intelligence, but a gap in experience and connections. It really was like having an old man at home was like having a treasure.
"Very good, but at the opening ceremony. I'm afraid I don't have time to attend it. I'm preparing to go into seclusion for a period of time. "
"Seclusion!" Liu Chuanfeng immediately understood that this was for the battle with Chu Tian.
Li Qingshan had more to consider. Milliped was his friend, not a mount. He couldn't let his friend stay in the bug sack all day.
However, Chu Tian's wager was also one of the reasons. His original plan was to slowly take medicinal pills while learning alchemy, accumulating more knowledge and resources to ensure that he could continuously refine medicinal pills. Now, however, he changed his mind. A lion should use its full strength when hunting a rabbit.
Li Qingshan asked, "I heard you say that there's a cave abode for seclusion on the island, right?" There were many facilities on the island that chief disciples could use for free, and the cave abode for seclusion was one of them.
Liu Chuanfeng said, "Can't you just go into seclusion here? The spiritual Qi there isn't even as good as here. "
"I have my own plans."
Li Qingshan brought An to Contention Island and found the instructor in charge of managing the cave abode.
Seeing that it was two chief disciples who wanted to choose a place for seclusion, Li Qingshan was one thing, but An's name shook the hundred clans. How could the instructor dare to slight her?
"Fellow Daoists, are you going into seclusion separately, or together?"
"Together."
"Both of you, please follow me." The instructor didn't waste time and brought the two to a large hall. The floor shook and quickly sank.
A huge hollow had been dug under Contention Island, separated into more than ten levels. Each level had many cave abodes for seclusion for the disciples of various clans to cultivate. Each cave abode was tightly shut and separated by layers of formations. No aura could be sensed from inside.
Li Qingshan sensed that the closer they got to the bottom, the denser the spiritual Qi became. The surging spiritual Qi blew upwards like the wind.
It directly descended to the lowest level of the hollow, and Just Now, it stopped steadily.
The instructor handed a disc-shaped object to Li Qingshan. "This is the key. This is the lowest level, and there's only one cave abode for seclusion. The spiritual Qi formations are the best, and it's very spacious. Two people can cultivate inside without disturbing each other. If an ordinary disciple wanted to use it, it would cost a dozen or so spiritual stones every day."
Li Qingshan said, "I wonder if we can peek inside from the outside?"
The instructor said, "That's impossible. Not only are there layers of formations here, there's also spiritual interference. Even Family Leader Liu's Watermirror Disc can't penetrate it. Not only can't we see through it, but people from the outside can't even enter. Once the cave abode is closed, it can only be opened from the inside."
"It can't be opened from the outside?"
"That's not entirely true. There are ways to open it, but it's under very special circumstances. For example, the Hundred Schools of Thought were attacked by external enemies, or you didn't pay the school fees you should have paid."
Li Qingshan smiled and clasped his hands. "Thank you for your guidance, instructor."
"Both of you are people with great futures. It's my honor to be able to help you. Please prepare your own food and water. If there's nothing else, I won't hold you up. "
Li Qingshan and An entered the cave abode and activated the key again. The stone door closed with a bang, and several formations began to operate.
Although the spiritual Qi here couldn't compare to the formation on Cloudwisp Island, it wasn't much worse. Moreover, it was safer and more secretive.
Li Qingshan released Milliped and took out all kinds of food he bought from the Hundred Flavors Building as compensation. Tong An looked at each other and pinched the tip of her nose. "Watch me defeat you with my sword Qi after I come out of seclusion."
