"But since there is no god in the world, what does Ru Xin mean by letting him read these things?"
Li Qingshan is not surprised that Ru Xin can guess his identity as the North Moon. He is not Superman. As long as he changes into a tight suit of S size and puts on a pair of black-rimmed glasses, he can keep the female reporter in the dark forever.
Either the female reporter is a moron, or she doesn't take him, a loser, in her eyes at all. The taste of Superman, who likes her, is really not good.
Li Qingshan personally believed his taste was much better. Ru Xin's intelligence and wisdom were rare in the world too. Surely she could not have specially drawn him here in such a serious manner and found such a great pile of books for him to read just to tell him that,
"Hey, I know who you are! It's great to become the Water God, but it's a pity that you were born too late. You can see it, but you can't eat it, hehehehe. "
Wait!
Li Qingshan's face suddenly becomes a little strange, because in his mind, he imagines that Ru Xin will say these words proudly, thinking that she can really do such a thing.
He coughs twice, dispels this kind of nonsense, calms down, and continues to read.
At dusk, the sun turns orange, casting his long shadow on the floor.
Li Qingshan finally sees the last book, and the desire in his heart becomes stronger. If he can refine a body of water and make it the underwater mansion. The speed of cultivation will be improved a lot. And with the geographical advantage, even if the Jindan Realm invades, he can deal with it calmly, turning passivity into initiative.
"Hey, this is?"
…
"Hey. Ru Xin, what do you mean? Are you kidding me? "
It is late. Li Qingshan comes to Benevolence Island and finds Ru Xin in the alchemy room to denounce her. His face is full of disappointment and anger.
"Ah, you finally find out. You are so smart!" Ru Xin says with a smile. She looks like her plot has succeeded, but she is a little disappointed in her heart.
"You already know!" Li Qingshan was enraged, but then he calmed down and smiled.
"Know what?" Ru Xin said in exasperation.
"I am …"
"Idiot," Ru Xin interrupted.
"I'm going to take Little Ann to the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga." Li Qingshan did not become angry. Instead, he sighed gently.
"Why?" Ru Xin looked at the pill furnace in front of her and asked casually. His heart trembled slightly.
"Actually, I wanted to tell you that this is the best choice for Little Ann. And I offended my boss. I can't really stay in the Clear River prefecture any longer. "
"You've finished reading all the books I gave you." Others might not understand which boss Li Qingshan had offended, but Ru Xin knew very well. She felt inexplicably anxious.
"I read a small part of it, but it didn't seem to be of any use. I guessed you were messing with me. Sigh, if only that was possible. It should be enough to fend off my boss. "
"Idiot!" He was clearly only one step away.
"Forget it. I won't get angry with you today. Actually. Before I leave, there are some things I want to tell you. "Li Qingshan's gaze suddenly became tender.
Ru Xin's gaze made contact with his. Then she looked away again. "Where are the books?"
She would not say anything to make him stay, but at the very least, she had to make him completely understand his current situation. This idiot!
"You're still hiding them!"
"That's good. Wait here for me. I'll be right back." Ru Xin specially told Sun Fubai that if Li Qingshan could not finish reading the books, he was to stow them away and not let anyone else touch them.
"Hahahaha, who's the one being fooled now?" Li Qingshan suddenly laughed aloud and raised his right hand.
…
An hour ago, when the last book was flipped to the first page, he saw a thin piece of something mixed in the title page. It was completely transparent, like ice or water. It twisted and turned like a dragon, forming a simple and magnificent rune.
At first glance, Li Qingshan knew it was not an ordinary item. However, it did not emit any spiritual energy and was extremely thin. If he had not flipped to this page, he would not have discovered its mystery.
"Could this be?"
Li Qingshan's eyes lit up. He looked around to make sure there was no one around and then injected a trace of spiritual energy into the ice rune.
The ice rune suddenly moved. It was like a surging river or a coiling dragon. Under the light of the setting sun, it looked like a living creature.
Indeed, it was not bad!
Li Qingshan picked up a book he had just read and turned to a page. There was a sentence on it.
"The Mountain God Seal is like gold and iron. The Water God Seal is like ice jade. They are both shaped like dragons."
Combining so many books, Li Qingshan gradually had a general blueprint in his mind.
With the establishment of the nine provinces, no one could condense a god seal from the mountains and rivers anymore. Afterwards, there would be no gods in the world.
However, this was not absolute. There were so many mountains and rivers in the world. There would always be remnant god seals left behind. Because they came from the same source as the cauldrons of the nine provinces, they could not be suppressed.
However, the nine cauldrons could not suppress them, but they could sense these actions of "stealing from the internet". If they were caught, they would definitely suffer the iron fist of the Great Xia empire's dictatorship.
However, another question arose. Was the god seal not necessarily condensed in the Clear River prefecture? Could it be used here?
This question could not be answered. He had read so many books, but he had only gained a general understanding of the history and rise and fall of gods. It was impossible for him to go into detail about the use of god seals.
And, using god seals in this day and age was clearly an act of rebellion. Even if a book like that existed, it would not be placed in the collection.
"Looks like the answer is here!"
Li Qingshan looked at the last book with the Water God Seal. At first glance, it did not seem any different, but it seemed like it had been soaked in water. The paper was slightly different too. From the patterns on the title page, he could tell that the book did not originate from this collection. Instead, it came from Ru Xin's own collection.
Li Qingshan calmed himself down and read through the pages one by one. He discovered that calling it a book was not particularly accurate. More accurately, it was a notebook. This was the notebook of a Hawkwolf guard who had carried out missions in the Mist province.
It recorded that a few daemons and monsters in the Mist province used the remnant god seals to refine barren lands and rivers everywhere, ruling themselves over. They were extremely difficult to eliminate.
Sure enough, according to the information recorded in the notebook, the god seals were only divided into mountains and rivers, but they were not limited to regions. As long as he dispersed the spiritual qi of mountains and rivers condensed within, he could still use it elsewhere.
The Hawkwolf guard had grumbled about this quite a lot.
Li Qingshan beamed inside.
The notebook should have been very old. By now, the Mist province had already fallen into chaos. The Hawkwolf Guard had withdrawn their forces to the level of a commandery, so it was no longer clear who was destroying who.
In other words, a Hawkwolf Guard on the level of the Clear River prefecture no longer existed in the Mist province.
This made sense. After several years of war. Now, the Clear River prefecture had already withdrawn the Hawkwolf Guard on the lowest level, withdrawing all of its forces. If the war escalated again, and Daemon Commanders like Helicoverpa Rosa ran amok, withdrawing the Hawkwolf Guard in the Clear River prefecture would only make sense.
After reading the last page of the notebook, Li Qingshan gained some guesses about the origins of the god seal.
There were many god seals in the Mist province, but not all of them had been left behind before the founding emperor established the nine provinces.
There were territories beyond the nine provinces. They could completely avoid the suppression of the cauldrons of the nine provinces and condense a god seal outside before bringing it back to the nine provinces.
However, this was extremely difficult to achieve. Condensing a god seal took up an extremely great amount of time and effort. It was recorded in the form of a few decades at a time. If it was just for sale, it would not be worth it.
The Hawkwolf guard suspected this to be related to the Merfolk of the South sea, as Merfolk were born with the ability to control water. Condensing a Water God Seal was relatively easy, and they had long lifespans too. As it seemed, the Hawkwolf guard's guess was probably correct.
Ru Xin happened to possess the bloodline of Merfolk.
Li Qingshan could be regarded as a member of the Hawkwolf guard, but he had never heard of something like this. It was probably because the Green province was right next to the Dragon province, so no daemons were bold enough to act recklessly. Probably even the Dragon King Of The Sea would not allow it. However, now that the Treaty of Kings was about to collapse, where blood flowed like rivers, something like this was nothing.
They had even committed murder and arson, so why would they be afraid of stealing some water and electricity?
"What a great gift!"
If it were not for the fact that he was in the treasury, Li Qingshan basically wanted to laugh aloud. If Ru Xin were standing before him, perhaps he would hug her and kiss her a few times.
Compared to the value of the Divine Seal, the ten thousand Spiritual Stones were not even worth mentioning. Even in the Mist province, a god seal like that would fetch an astronomical price. It would probably be even rarer in the Green province.
If it were up to Li Qingshan to buy it, he would even be willing to pay a hundred thousand or a million spiritual stones. After all, was there anything more important than speeding up his cultivation and ensuring his safety as a cultivator?
In retrospect, Li Qingshan realised that Ru Xin's teasing was actually more like a test.
If he did not have the patience to listen to her, or if he was stingy with the spiritual stones and refused to give it to her. If he could not even listen to the first story, there obviously would not be a second story. If he ignored her efforts and refused to read through all the books one by one, he would miss out on this priceless god seal.
It was right here. It just depended on whether he had the patience or not.
Would it be the same if he wanted to obtain her heart?
Li Qingshan stowed the books and god seal away. After informing Sun Fubai, he directly made his way to Benevolence island.
… …
Ru Xin stared at the god seal in Li Qingshan's hand. She had no idea whether she should be angry or happy.
If he had not read through all the books one by one, why would he only come now? Normally, she wouldn't have fallen for such a trick, but his words of farewell had disturbed her state of mind.
Looks like even if I don't pass the test, there's still a prize! Miss Ru Xin sure is softhearted! At this moment, Li Qingshan did not possess any of the aggressiveness or malice of a daemon at all. He was like a child who had stolen a candy, complacent.
"Since you've obtained it, then hurry up and piss off. Don't disturb me from refining pills."
Ru Xin waved her hand impatiently, like she was chasing away a fly. However, a smear of redness spread from her cheeks to her slender neck.
"Thank you!" Li Qingshan embraced her firmly from behind and said extremely seriously.
The fragrance of medicine lingered in his arms, and her body was soft.
"I won't leave the Clear River prefecture so easily. Even if I leave, I'll return sooner or later. There are far too many ties here. "
Before Ru Xin could respond, Li Qingshan had already let go of her and made his way out.
"What a shame." Ru Xin was taken aback for a while before saying in disdain.
At this time, on Benevolence Island, there was another person who received her prize after going through many trials.
