Li Qingshan leaned against the roof and took out a gourd of alcohol with a smile. He tilted his head back and took a sip, watching the moonlight flow like water as the blue bird flew off into the horizon.
… …
"Zijian, be careful!" Hua Chenglu cried out. All she saw was a wild boar daemon as tall as several people rushing towards Yu Zijian with two long, snow-white tusks protruding from its mouth. It was like a mad elephant.
They faced a true daemon during the mission this time. It was far more dangerous than the previous ones. Sun Yi and the others unleashed techniques that shone with light, but when they landed on the wild boar daemon, they only managed to leave behind some shallow marks.
Wherever the wild boar daemon passed by, the buildings collapsed loudly and collapsed, opening up a path. The aura made everyone's expressions change drastically. Yu Zijian, who bore the brunt of the attack, remained extremely composed. The Nine Yang sword in her hand turned into a streak of white light and flew towards the wild boar daemon.
The streak of light stabbed into the wild boar daemon's blood-red right eye. The wild boar daemon let out a wild howl and shook its huge head violently. Its tusks stabbed towards Yu Zijian's ribs. It was even willing to die with her.
Even at a time like this, Yu Zijian showed no fear at all. Instead, there was a sense of calmness and relief. She had already experienced something even more terrifying than this. This was her choice. No matter what the outcome of her choice was, all she could do was accept it.
The wild boar daemon's swinging tail suddenly straightened, but no one noticed this detail due to its colossal body. All they saw was the wild boar daemon suddenly come to a halt.
The Nine Yang sword pierced through its eye and head, reducing the wild boar daemon's head to mush. Yu Zijian used this opportunity to leap up and leap over the wild boar daemon. The colossal corpse fell to the ground loudly. Due to the great inertia, it flew another several dozen meters away, knocking down a small building before coming to a stop.
"Zijian, are you fine? That strike earlier was far too risky. "Hua Chenglu rushed over as soon as Yu Zijian landed on the ground. She was both concerned and grumbling.
"If we still don't subdue it, who knows how many buildings will be destroyed and how many people will die. It's worth taking a little risk," Yu Zijian said. She felt rather confused. Just Now was a moment of life and death. No one could sense the wild boar daemon's pause more clearly than her. That feeling. It didn't look like the wild boar spirit had lost its balance after being heavily injured. Instead, it looked like it was affected by an external force.
Li Qingshan crossed his arms and stood not far away with a smile. Just Now, he had only casually pulled the wild boar's tail.
"Zijian, well done!"
Sun Yi and the others gathered over as well. After working together for a few missions, their opinion of Yu Zijian had changed drastically. He felt that she was not as timid as the rumors made her out to be. Instead, she had a kind of extraordinary courage. In many cases. Even they had to admit their inferiority.
"But don't take this kind of risk again in the future. It's not something mortals can compare to. "Sun Yi frowned.
As usual, after killing the monsters, the people were like frightened mice and rabbits. They came out of their hiding places and looked at the scene from afar with timid expressions.
"I don't see any difference between them and us."
"It's not that I'm looking down on them. I was born a mortal too. It's just that only by staying alive can we kill even more daemons and save even more people," Sun Yi said righteously.
"Senior brother is right. Zijian understands." Yu Zijian lowered her head. She did not argue with him, but she did not show any signs of regret either.
It was just like saying, "It's not that I'm looking down on you." Oftentimes, she really was looking down on them. To cultivators, treating mortals like ants seemed to be a form of talent. Even the weakest Qi Practitioners could achieve that easily. However, she could not. This was far too difficult for her. She would feel sad when she saw others cry. This was her weakness, as well as her choice.
At this moment, a familiar cry rang out from the sky. A blue bird circled around as it descended, landing on the mountainous corpse of the wild boar daemon.
Yu Zijian smiled. "You've come again!" The blue bird seemed to be able to bring her luck. Looking at the sky, she felt like a guardian god was silently watching over her.
The people in the city calmed down from their fear and gathered over. Their gazes towards her seemed like that of a god.
The Hundred Schools of Thought sent a message for them to return and rest. They all eased up inside. After being out for so long, they could finally set off on their return journey.
Li Qingshan wondered, Has Fu Qingjin already responded? During this period of cultivation, he had pushed forward the Arts of the Boundless Ocean by quite a lot.
After reaching Foundation Establishment, the effects of the body gradually diminished. The effects of meridians and acupoints had become almost non-existent. What was even more important was the connection and comprehension of the spiritual qi of the world, as well as a person's temperament.
Yu Zijian waved her hand at the cheering people. She sat on the Nine Yang sword and sped off in the direction of the Hundred Schools of Thought. She said to the blue bird on her shoulder seriously, "Don't poop!" She recovered some of her radiance and cheerfulness.
Although a person's heart was weak, it would become stronger through constant tempering.
After returning to the Hundred Schools of Thought, they all returned to their own homes. Yu Zijian and Sun Yi returned to Wuwei island. Halfway along the mountain path, they saw the slovenly daoist priest standing in a pavilion on the mountainside. Yu Zijian said in surprise, "Master, why are you here?"
Sun Yi clasped his hands. "Greetings, master!"
The slovenly daoist priest waved his hand and dismissed Sun Yi. He chuckled at Yu Zijian. "I'm obviously waiting for you. How's it going? Are you in a good mood? You don't look too bad. "He studied Yu Zijian and smiled in satisfaction.
Sun Yi felt indescribable admiration or even jealousy. As the person most likely to break through to Golden Core, the slovenly daoist priest, Zhou Tong, was one of the most powerful figures in the entire Clear River prefecture right now. Normally, he only cultivated in seclusion for the sake of breaking through. Even the leaders of the various schools could not see him whenever they wanted. Now, he had specially waited for her on the mountainside. What an honour!
"It's just a Pure Yang constitution. This world sure is unfair." Sun Yi's heart ached. If he knew that a Foundation Establishment cultivator had been protecting her the entire time, and it had nothing to do with her talent or cultivation, his feelings would probably become even more mixed.
"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint master this time!" Yu Zijian pursed her lips.
"You've never disappointed me, even during that mission. Others think you're weak, but that's exactly where you're strong. You don't hold on to anything, and you're like a fly for personal gain, so you obviously won't understand. What I'm afraid of the most is that the matter will ruin your temperament. The slovenly daoist priest shook his head gently as he looked at the Lake of Dragons and Snakes.
"Divine swords can only be forged after repeated tempering. Something like fate isn't a good blacksmith. Sometimes, a single strike from the hammer can turn a treasured sword into a piece of scrap metal. I don't have to worry now that I've seen you like this."
"Girl, work hard. You're not an ordinary piece of metal. Once I undergo another heavenly tribulation, I'll formally accept you as my disciple!"
There were countless disciples in the school of Daoism, but aside from Juechenzi, only she had received such a promise from him.
… …
Li Qingshan returned to the Chain mountains. The Skeleton Demons were like monkeys, running around and playing around in the large cavern. These Skeleton Demons were extremely interesting. They were like clones of Little Ann that he could control at any time, but they also possessed their own intelligence and even intelligence.
After being taught a few lessons by Little Ann, they no longer dared to provoke Li Qingshan when they saw him again. They moved to one side obediently.
Little Ann waved her hand, and the Skeleton Demons all turned into prayer beads, returning to her slender, white wrist. There were exactly seventeen of them. She only needed one more, and she would be able to assemble the eighteen Skull Prayer Beads into a formation.
Meanwhile, the bones beneath her flesh and blood became even more translucent. They shone with a hidden buddhist nature. She had also reached the juncture of the first layer of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty.
Li Qingshan smiled. "Looks like this game of chess is about to come to an end."
Even though no one had realized this.
Once the time was right, the two of them would work together to defeat Strong Stone, kill Blood Shadow, destroy the Demon Slayer, and kill Fu Qingjin, putting an end to this war. Afterwards, he could reunite with Han Qiongzhi and spend more time with Little Ann. He could write some novels and accumulate some power of will. Right, he had to learn how to forge artifacts as well. It was rare for him to obtain such an arcane artifact, the copper cauldron. There was no need for him to be so busy.
Just as he was picturing the beautiful future, Little Ann interrupted his beautiful dream. "Yesterday afternoon, Chu Danqing came to find you. He said that what you wanted was done."
Li Qingshan was overjoyed. He picked up Little Ann and kissed her. He smiled. "My good stuff is here."
In the Hundred Schools of Thought, in the School of Painting, Chu Shidao could no longer get off his bed. Not only was his face haggard, but even his eyes were starting to turn turbid. He stared at the liquid in the small bottle. As his arms were trembling, the golden liquid was also trembling.
Feeling a little excited, he asked Ru Xin, "This … is …"
Ru Xin said, "That's right. It's the Water of Oblivion that you wanted, Senior. I've tried it, and it's quite effective."
"That's great. Miss Ru Xin, you're indeed a master of medicine refinement. No wonder that old man Hua Ci is full of praises for you … Cough, cough, cough." Before Chu Shidao could finish, he started coughing, his chest rising and falling rapidly.
"Master!" Chu Danqing looked worried. He sat by the bed and caressed Chu Shidao's back. He injected spiritual qi into Chu Shidao to calm his breathing.
"Foolish child, don't waste your cultivation needlessly!" Chu Shidao's withered hand grabbed Chu Danqing's arm. At this moment, he became very determined. Right now, he was like a bottomless bucket. No matter how much water was poured into it, it would be futile.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Junior Li Qingshan is here to pay his respects."
"Just nice, he's here too." Chu Shidao grinned. One could vaguely see that almost all of his teeth had fallen out.
When Li Qingshan entered the abode and saw Chu Shidao's appearance, he was shocked. His joy dissipated quite a bit. With a serious expression, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the trouble, Master."
Chu Shidao did not take out his hundred treasures pouch, but from under his pillow. He took out a scroll painting and handed it to Li Qingshan. "What do you think?"
Just like the Cursive Sword Calligraphy that Li Qingshan had obtained in the Black Wind Mountain Stronghold, this scroll painting looked ordinary and did not have any spiritual qi or spirit light. However, when he slowly unfolded the scroll painting, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and his hair stood on end. It was a situation that would only happen when he encountered danger.
When the scroll painting was completely unfolded, he did not have time to look at it in detail. A sharp sword intent attacked the center of his brows.
