With Little Ann's appearance, the balcony on the top floor immediately fell silent.
Hwa Seung-zan's eyes lit up. He was slightly stunned.
He was born with an impeccably handsome face. The Begonia and Hua Chenglu he came into contact with were all rare beauties in the world. His dream lover was a peerless beauty like Gu Yanying.
Originally, he thought he would no longer feel stunned, but in that moment, he could not help but feel stunned. What was even more unbelievable was that the person who had stunned him was a young girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.
Today, Little Ann's attire was nothing special. In fact, it was rather casual. She did not care about beauty or ugliness. Li Qingshan was a man, so he did not think about dressing her up carefully. However, it did not affect her appearance at all.
There was no soul-stirring smile on her face either. She only glanced past everyone calmly with her pitch-black eyes. They were like a deep, rippleless lake, unable to reflect anyone's figure. However, this empty expression gave her an indescribable, strange charm.
"Qiongzhi, oh Qiongzhi, you're really in trouble." Hwa Seung-zan could not help but worry for his good friend.
"Whether it's the distant Gu Yanying or the nearby Ru Xin, they're probably not as great of a threat as this child! When Qing Shan was still a Qi Practitioner, he went as far as to oppose the Foundation Establishment cultivator Begonia for her. He offended the school leaders without any hesitation. What about now? What about the future? "
Qiu Haitang stood right beside Hua Chengzan. Although she had already given up on the idea of love, they were still very good friends, so Hua Chengzan did not care about the commotion today. Of course, she would not miss it.
After so many years, when she saw Little Ann again, she could not help but feel a deep sense of regret and envy despite her amazement.
She's already so charming at such a young age. If she's willing to practice our techniques, can her acquaintances resist her when she's a little older? If I have such beauty … Even an infatuated man like Xiao Hua would fall in love with someone else!
Not only did she have the Aspect of Divine Fragrance and Beauty, she also had such an incredible talent for cultivation. This Li Qingshan's luck was simply too deep to be able to pick up such an incredible person.
Begonia's willowy eyebrows suddenly raised, "But, is this really a blessing? She was devastatingly beautiful. Femme fatale was not just a saying. As the old saying goes, 'A national beauty emerges.' At first, I had some doubts about it. But now, it seems like it's true. "
"Qingshan, this is Little Ann?"
Fu Qingjin sized up Little Ann meaningfully. A Foundation Establishment cultivator in his teens, and one who did not start cultivating at a young age. All in all, it had only been five or six years, and he hadn't received any real guidance. Almost all of them relied on their own comprehension. Even he had to admit that he was inferior to such a talent.
It was no wonder that the Annihilum Light Chan Master of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga was so proud and aloof. He had even gone as far as to travel thousands of kilometers just to accept her as his disciple. It seemed like he was lowering himself and making a mountain out of a molehill, but it was truly a brilliant move. Otherwise, even the Sword Collection palace and the Umbral Yin sect would fight over a disciple like that!
In the cultivation world, even ten thousand mediocre people could not compare to a single genius. This was extremely obvious in war. They were all at Foundation Establishment, but a single Fu Qingjin was worth more than ten regular Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Li Qingshan said, "Yep. She doesn't really like to talk. Everyone, let's begin! "
"The quiet room has been prepared. I also want to witness Little Ann's divination with seven lots." Ma Buyi stood out from the crowd and bowed towards Li Qingshan and Little Ann.
"You're too kind, senior." Li Qingshan lowered his head. "Little Ann, it's fine, right?"
Little Ann nodded and entered the quiet room with Ma Buyi. The others waited outside for the results.
"General, how's my Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility?"
Li Qingshan found Han Anjun. Although he did not care too much about the sword, it was still a supreme grade spiritual artifact after all, and it was the type that could be used openly.
"It can't be completely repaired."
"That can't be helped. Thank you for the trouble, general."
This outcome was within Li Qingshan's expectations. Anything that the Dragonsnail had spat out would definitely be no joke. If it were a regular spiritual artifact, even if it was slightly damaged, it would only be slightly weaker. However, the Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility's primary ability was to conceal itself. It would become useless if it revealed even the slightest opening.
Han Anjun took out another azure sword and only said three words. The sword's name was the Heavy Water sword.
Li Qingshan's eyes lit up. It was another water-element supreme grade spiritual artifact. Sure enough, clans really did have deep roots!
Although it was not an arcane artifact, not everyone in the circle of Foundation Establishment cultivators possessed arcane artifacts. Most people still used supreme grade spiritual artifacts. Arcane artifacts and spiritual artifacts only differed by a single word, but their effects, power, and even quantity were worlds apart. They definitely could not be obtained easily.
In the past, when Li Qingshan led the night roamers and annihilated several sects, only Bronze Cauldron mountain and the Vermillion Clothes sect possessed arcane artifacts. They were all sect treasures, items that represented the sect's legacy.
The fact that Li Qingshan possessed the Cursive Sword Calligraphy was already more powerful than most people. He was not greedy either. A water-element supreme grade spiritual artifact sword was already relatively rare. At the very least, it could unleash the power of the sword qi in his dantian.
"Since it's a gift from my father-in-law, then I'll accept it." Li Qingshan joked and accepted the Heavy Water sword without any hesitation. It sank slightly in his hand. The sword was quite heavy.
Li Qingshan beamed inside. The heavier the sword, the more he could unleash his advantage in strength and unleash greater destructive power. It also suited his personality better than the Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility. It could even be paired with the Arts of the Boundless Ocean. It suited him far better than the Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility.
Han Anjun did not comment on this form of address. He was no longer as resolutely opposed to this marriage as he was in the past. He had already achieved his objective of getting Han Qiongzhi to stand on her own two feet, and Li Qingshan had been performing very well recently too.
Of course, Li Qingshan did not do as Hwa Seung-zan had suggested and visit the Han Clan often. He was not good at currying favor with others, and he would only make things awkward if he did not do it well. He decided to walk his own path. He would do his best to complete Han Anjun's military orders.
Han Anjun was also very satisfied with this. The so-called human etiquette of the secular world did not apply to him. He looked down on men who played petty tricks and glib tongues. At the end of the day, he had admired Li Qingshan from the very beginning. It was just that he was not optimistic about this relationship. However, he chose to take responsibility for it himself.
As the head of the Han Clan, he only needed to fulfill his duty of "roping in". However, the way he roped in was a little too formal.
Li Qingshan walked to the side and immediately began to refine the Heavy Water sword.
At this moment, the door to the silent room opened again. Ma Buyi walked out.
"School leader Ma, how is it?" "Have you found anything?"
Ma Buyi waved his hand and said to Hwa Seung-zan, "Commander Hua, give me the information on the Blood Shadow." Then he added, "Little Ann needs it."
Since three years ago, the Hawkwolf Guard had begun collecting all of the information on the Blood Shadow and analysed it. Hwa Seung-zan had even attempted to simulate the Blood Shadow's way of thinking to deduce which city he would attack next, but it was not particularly successful.
"If you could analyse it, why would you still need divination?" Someone asked in doubt.
Ma Buyi did not explain either. Actually, even he did not quite understand.
In essence, divination was a way of obtaining information. It did not rely on reasoning or logic. Instead, it directly asked fate for an answer. Although some information was needed as a foundation to increase the accuracy of the divination, there was no need for overly detailed and complicated information.
In the silent room, Little Ann sat on the huge mental map of the Clear River prefecture. With a thump, he opened his eyes and saw Ma Buyi piling up information as tall as a person before him.
"It's all here."
Little Ann waved his hand, and the information flew into the air noisily. They arranged themselves in the air and stacked on top of each other, basically filling up the entire room. Afterwards, they began to revolve.
Without any order or pattern, they swept past her one by one. The various pieces of information were clearly reflected in her eyes, but she did not seem to look at them anymore. Towards the end, she just closed her eyes.
Ma Buyi could not help but shove the information into a corner. He was clearly the one who had taught Little Ann the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots, but he was rather unsure about what Little Ann was trying to do right now.
At this moment, Little Ann lit up with rainbow light, turning into seven lots.
"Divination with the seven lots!" Ma Buyi's face changed.
… …
Time passed by slowly. Everyone stopped talking and waited silently. The outcome of the divination had to do with everyone's lives, as well as the future of the Clear River prefecture.
"Alright!" A whisper surprised everyone slightly. They all turned around, only to see Li Qingshan speaking from a corner. He wielded the azure sword in his hand, complacent. Sunlight and spiritual light flowed through the sword together. It was beautiful.
Li Qingshan had already refined the Heavy Water sword. Because the Heavy Water sword had always been ownerless, refining it was relatively easy. All he needed to do was use the Arts of the Boundless Ocean and channel some spiritual qi into it before imprinting it with his soul sense.
During the refinement process, he completely understood the Heavy Water sword's functions. Actually, there was only a single move, and it was extremely simple and violent.
That was to expend a tremendous amount of spiritual qi in a single go, allowing the Heavy Water sword to expand by over ten times its original size and unleash a startling slash. Li Qingshan named it the City Breaker Sword.
If the Illusory Water Sword of Invisibility was a sword for assassins, then the Heavy Water sword was a true sword for warriors.
In fact, this sword was not even suitable for sword kinesis techniques. It was only suitable for melee combat, so most cultivators would not like it. Even water-attribute body cultivators would not use such a large sword. Their sword techniques were usually soft and gentle, so they would not use such a huge sword.
However, it was perfect for Li Qingshan. He could finally unleash the power of the Arts of the Boundless Ocean, which would multiply his battle prowess.
"Is it still not done?" Li Qingshan stood up and looked around. He was probably the most relaxed one out of all of them.
"Looks like you're very satisfied with this sword, fellow Qingshan. They'll probably still need to spend some more time on it, so why don't we spar and test out the sword?" Fu Qingjin's clothes ruffled as he drifted over.
