"You're too kind, master!"
Li Qingshan laughed aloud. He did not take it to heart.
"I'm nowhere near as talented as junior Qingshan. I'm unable to repay you for saving my life, so please accept a bow from One Lamp!" The One Lamp monk bowed deeply towards Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan accepted it calmly and smiled. "As long as you don't blame me for almost pulling you apart."
"If I end up in the hands of daemons, I'll definitely be in utter misery. Even if I end up dying unfortunately, I still have to thank junior brother for helping me!"
The Dauntless monk felt pity again. According to the Unraging monk, Li Qingshan had undergone the second heavenly tribulation a few years ago. With his talent and willpower, he was a once-in-a-century genius, definitely not below One Will. If he could become a formal disciple of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, he would definitely become a pillar of support.
However, he was stubborn and could not be forced. Fortunately, the Unraging monk had accepted him as a disciple, sowing karma with the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. There was no need to worry about him not contributing in the future.
Returning outside the Demon Suppression hall, the setting sun illuminated the valley, dyeing it bright red.
The One Lamp monk sucked in a deep breath. He felt like he had returned to the world of mortals, so the Dauntless monk told him to go back and rest. The One Lamp monk thanked Li Qingshan again before turning around and making his way back to Great Buddha mountain. His footsteps became even more determined.
Right when he was about to step into the protective formation of the monastery, an insect egg as tiny as a mustard seed, almost invisible to the naked eye, crawled out of the pores on the back of his neck and landed in the bushes. The One Lamp monk was completely unaware of it.
The insect egg hatched very soon, turning into a locust the size of a pinky. It flew through the bushes and rapidly travelled away from Great Buddha mountain, flying over fifty kilometers away. Just Now, it stopped on a large tree and began to chew on the leaves furiously.
The locust rapidly grew in size, inhaling and exhaling the spiritual qi of the world strand by strand. Before long, it had become the size of a fist. It flapped its wings and flew off into the distance.
… …
The Dauntless monk said, "One Will, if you insist on leaving, I can't force you to stay either. The Mist province is different from the Green province. The South Sea commandery is extremely dangerous, and it's over a hundred thousand kilometers away. If there's any danger, even I won't be able to save you in time. You can only rely on yourself. "
"Disciple understands!" Little Ann said.
The Unraging monk replaced the prayer bead on Li Qingshan's head, but then he said, "Qingshan, just keep it as a souvenir! South Sea Commandery is too far away. I won't go there even if you crush your prayer beads! It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. Take care of yourself! "
"I understand." Li Qingshan curled his lips and cupped his hands, "Then we shall take our leave!"
Just as he was about to leave, a weak voice called out, "Senior Brother!"
"Duoge! Oh, I almost forgot. Here, this is for you. If you borrow one, return two. Don't say that I'm not loyal! "Li Qingshan took out two Demon Commander demon hearts and handed them to Duoge.
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!" Duoge stuffed a handful of demon hearts into Li Qingshan's hands.
"This is?" Li Qingshan was rather surprised. Only then did he discover that the prayer beads around Duoge's neck had become much shorter. The handful of demon hearts in his hands amounted to thirty or forty, shining resplendently and of extremely high quality.
"I heard the South sea is dangerous. These are for you. I don't have any use for them right now anyway!" Duoge said in embarrassment.
Li Qingshan was very touched. He gave him a bear hug. "Kid, I'll remember this favour of yours. I'll definitely return it twofold in the future!"
Afterwards, he glanced past the Dauntless monk and the Unraging monk in disdain. Eminent monks of buddhism? You're not even as enlightened as a measly demonfolk!
The two eminent monks were obviously unfazed. The Dauntless monk had indeed considered bestowing a buddhist treasure to Little Ann, but after some consideration, he gave up on the idea. Although he could pour resources onto outstanding disciples, he still had to maintain basic fairness as the abbot of the monastery.
Buddhist treasures were of great importance. One Will had only joined the monastery for far too short a time. She had already received far too much preferential treatment, and she had not contributed anything at all. She had left the monastery willfully this time, so if he bestowed another buddhist treasure, it would definitely displease the other disciples.
The Unraging monk chuckled as if he had been expecting Duoge to do something like that. He was extremely satisfied. He also held an arcane treasure in his hand, prepared to give it to Li Qingshan. It was not a buddhist treasure, but a demonic treasure. However, the time was not right yet.
It was possible to say that two arcane treasures were already waiting for them. With their talent and cultivation, they already possessed the right. All they lacked was experience.
This demonstrated the superiority of the Sword Collection palace. They had the opportunity to obtain a renowned sword on the level of an arcane treasure as soon as they became a formal disciple. As long as they received the sword's recognition, no one could complain. However, the downside was that even if the Sword Collection palace was about to be destroyed, the palace master could not bestow the sword to a disciple. He could only wait for the master of the sword to appear!
Li Qingshan and Little Ann took off on a cloud, vanishing into the horizon.
… …
"Woof! Woof! Woof! "
In a melon field, a yellow dog barked madly.
In a corner of the melon field, a naked man currently hugged a watermelon and gnawed away at it. He ate it without even spitting out the seeds! His body was sturdy, and his skin was withered and yellow. His dark brown eyes shone with a fervent light as he ate.
"His is far too delicious! He's finally out! His! His! The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, the Unraging monk, Golden Cicada, and Li Qingshan! You're all f * * king dead! "
The farmer in the straw hat heard the barking and emerged from the straw hut with his tools. "Son of a bitch, how dare you steal my watermelon! You don't want to live anymore!"
"Who are you?"
The man suddenly raised his head, and the farmer felt like he had fallen into a cavern of ice, completely immobilised. Countless copies of himself seemed to be reflected in the dark brown eyes.
The yellow dog whimpered and fled with its tail between its legs.
The man licked his lips. "It's been a very long time since I've eaten human flesh. The flesh of demonfolk is stinky and sour. It's fucking disgusting!"
A while later, the man stood up in the melon field and wiped away the blood from the corner of his lips. He gazed at the western sky, and the last ray of light dimmed. A Demon Suppression statue was tattooed on his back, and it was different from any of the statues Li Qingshan had seen in the past.
"That kid sure has given me some inspiration! Otherwise, I won't be able to fool those two monks. When the time comes, I'll just let him die a little more painlessly! "
… …
On the cloud, Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat as if he sensed something.
He sat down with his legs crossed and got the spirit turtle to divine again!
A while later, he opened his eyes and glanced back at Great Buddha mountain in some confusion. He had clearly already left the Demon Suppression hall, so why was the strange sense of danger still lingering? Instead, it seemed to be lurking, showing signs of constantly growing and strengthening?
"What's wrong?" Little Ann asked in concern.
Li Qingshan smiled. "Nothing. I just feel like the path ahead is a little dangerous. Though, there really haven't been a lot of times along the way that haven't been dangerous. As long as we're together, we'll definitely be able to overcome all difficulties and reach beyond the Nine Heavens!"
… …
Deep underground in the Clear River prefecture, magma surged and a lake of fire blazed.
"Fellow Golden Cicada, we've come to complete our agreement!"
Li Qingshan assumed the form of the North Moon and called out loudly. His voice reverberated through the surroundings.
A crystalline skeleton stood beside him. Milky-white, half-transparent flames burned in its eye sockets.
"You've finally returned!"
