"Granny" called out a few more times, and only then did the old nun return to her senses. She praised, "That's right! This child really does possess the qualities of a buddha. He possesses a great buddhist nature. He's perfect for becoming my disciple and inheriting my legacy. "
The old nun was the most mysterious great cultivator of the South sea. She neither founded a sect nor accepted disciples, nor did she have any contact with other cultivators. Instead, she travelled through the various parts of the South sea, spreading the buddhist dharma and doing good. Instead, she possessed an extremely resounding reputation among mortals. She was known as the Divine Nun of the South sea. Many places had shrines dedicated to her.
Now that the Crystal palace was about to wage war against Fire Melt mountain, "granny" had specially invited her over.
Originally, the Divine Nun of the South Sea was reluctant to become involved in the war between otherfolk, and she was not interested in the wondrous treasures of the Crystal palace either. However, "granny" said that the people who had come this time were two buddhist disciples from the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga. Both of them possessed extraordinary talent and extraordinary cultivations. The woman among them was even treated by the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga as a once-in-a-thousand-years buddhist prodigy. As a result, she was interested and only said she wanted to take a look.
When she saw Li Qingshan for the first time, the Divine Nun of the South Sea secretly frowned. He was clad in armor and wore a horned helmet, which made him seem more like a general than a monk. He did not possess the benevolence of buddhism at all. Instead, he possessed a lot of viciousness and malice. When she looked at Little Ann again, she was taken aback. What a well-endowed and intelligent girl, and it's even rarer for her to possess such a cultivation at such a young age. Not only will she definitely undergo the third heavenly tribulation, but she even has the chance of ascending!
"It's just a pity that she's a disciple of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga," Gongyuan said.
"The Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga is a temple for monks. I've never heard of any Monk King specially accepting her as a disciple. It's not necessarily impossible for her to join the abbess." "Granny" shot a glance at Gongyuan.
Gongyuan thought otherwise. After witnessing Little Ann's attack in the Feilian hall, she no longer dared to underestimate this expressionless girl. "Granny" wanted to use her to rope in the Divine Nun of the South Sea, but she only treated her as a regular cultivator. This scheme was not that easy to pull off, and Li Qingshan beside her was no pushover either.
As they spoke, Li Qingshan and the others had already passed through the crystal corridor and arrived outside the hall. Elder Blue reported and invited them in.
Li Qingshan smiled and cupped his hands. "I haven't seen you in a long time. You look much better, Your Majesty."
"The same goes for the Savage King!" Gongyuan nodded slightly, but she was wondering why Li Qingshan looked so sick. Could it be that he had suffered an internal injury in that battle? However, it wasn't appropriate for him to ask too much, so he introduced the other guests to Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan saw how Gongyuan did not have any intentions of holding a banquet to thank him for saving her life, so he cut to the chase. "Everyone's time is very precious, so I'll cut to the chase. I want Fire Melt mountain and the divine wutong tree. I can give up on everything else, but I definitely won't give up on either of these two. If that's possible, we can begin discussing our countermeasures and go all out against the fire devourers. "
Gongyuan's iciness melted away slightly. Li Qingshan did not make an exorbitant demand or make any overboard demands. Fire Melt mountain was a very rare blessed land, but it was useless to the Merfolk. As an ancient divine tree, the divine wutong tree was truly very precious, but it was rooted in Fire Melt mountain, so it could not be moved. Since he could even give him Fire Melt mountain, then it was just a bonus.
And, his two conditions were built on the premise that they could take down Fire Melt mountain and wipe out the fire devourers.
Ji Changfeng eased up inside. Li Qingshan's conditions did not conflict with his at all, nor would they be difficult for him to accept. The alliance this time could be said to be half done.
"Young man, aren't you afraid you'll bite your tongue if you speak too much? What kind of blessed land is Fire Melt mountain, and what kind of divine object is the divine wutong tree? Do you know? Just what virtue or ability do you have to demand these two conditions? "
"Granny" stared at Li Qingshan. What she wanted from Li Qingshan was far more than that.
"Old lady, I have no virtue or ability. It's up to you whether you agree to these two conditions or not." Li Qingshan did not become angry. If Ru Xin's "Stoneheart" could really achieve the desired effect, then the battle this time would be unprecedentedly brutal. He believed Gongyuan could see that too.
"If you want to agree to it, that's not impossible. I also have two conditions. Listen to them. First, hand over that wretched child of yours to us. Second, hand over the cultivation method you use to suppress your inner demons. "
Li Qingshan was taken aback before bursting into laughter. "Gongyuan, don't tell me your granny has gone senile. If it weren't for the fact that I've obtained a better blade recently and am in a great mood, I would have swung my blade at her as soon as I heard her first condition. As for the second condition, hehe, you sure have the nerve to ask for it! "
There was no need to elaborate on what Ru Xin meant to him. A powerful cultivation method was basically as important as their lives to cultivators. She was basically dreaming if she wanted it just by asking for it.
"How rude!" "Granny" bellowed. The dragon-headed cane in her hand slammed downwards, producing a thunderous rumble. "What do you take this place for? Come and try chopping it!"
Li Qingshan immediately felt a tremendous pressure, as if the entire ocean was surging towards him. The seawater in the surroundings surged, filled with killing intent. He sneered, and his eyes became tranquil and distant, shining with a faint, clear light. The surging seawater immediately calmed down, without a single ripple.
"Granny" was alarmed. What was this cultivation method? It actually possessed a hint of a divine nature, capable of greatly suppressing the water element.
Li Qingshan held back the eager "Tiger's Fang" and said to Little Ann, "It's like we've come to beg someone else. Whatever, let's go. We'll talk about it after the fire devourers and merpeople have a battle!"
"Hold on!" A few voices spoke up at the same time. "Granny" was furious, Gongyuan was calm, Ji Changfeng was frantic, and the one who was the most direct was the Divine Nun of the South Sea. She arrived before Li Qingshan and Little Ann in a flash.
Li Qingshan studied the Divine Nun of the South Sea and thought, What's going on here? "He brought his palms together and asked," What does the nun want, nun? "
The Divine Nun of the South Sea ignored him. Instead, she said to Little Ann, "Child, you're quite the fated one with this poor nun. Are you willing to accept me as your master?"
Li Qingshan had already known that buddhist monks and nuns liked Little Ann very much, but he never expected his charm to be so great, making a great cultivator run over and talk about "fate" without any restraint, directly wanting to accept him as a disciple. We're in the middle of a negotiation, so do you have to ruin the atmosphere like this?
Little Ann returned the gesture politely. "I also found the master familiar the moment I saw him, but it's a pity that I've already joined the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, so I can't cultivate with the master."
Afterwards, Li Qingshan failed to understand what the Divine Nun of the South Sea said. She seemed to be quoting from buddhist scriptures, expressing how vast buddhism was and that there should not be so many sectarian biases. Little Ann also immediately replied in zen. The adult and the child chatted back and forth like no one else was around, leaving Li Qingshan and the others completely confused.
Ji Changfeng felt indignant for Li Qingshan. "Fellow Gong, aren't your conditions a little too harsh? We've specially invited the King of Savages to avenge us, yet you've ended up like this. What kind of hospitality is that, let alone hand over our cultivation method? Do you want me to hand over the Method of Wind God too?"
Gongyuan said, "Please calm down, fellow Ji. Why don't you sit down and talk, King of Savages? An alliance is an important matter. If you leave in a huff over a disagreement, that's not what a hero should do."
Li Qingshan glanced at Little Ann who had been "entangled" by the Divine Nun of the South Sea and arrived before Gongyuan. He did not take a seat, sitting down casually on the jade table and crossing his arms. "Then I'd like to hear what your majesty has to say. Since you know an alliance is an important matter, you shouldn't let an ignorant person spout nonsense here. You'll lose the respect we've built up after so much difficulty."
Before Gongyuan could say anything, "granny" flew into a rage. "You're just a mere human, yet you still dare to spout nonsense in my Crystal palace. I'd like to see what you're capable of."
Gongyuan frowned. Now that "granny" had lost her temper, she struggled to deal with it. Most importantly, the two other Merfolk Kings were reluctant. They could mediate between Gongyuan and "granny", but they could not stand an outsider acting so arrogantly.
Most importantly, this outsider's cultivation was much lower than theirs. He even seemed sickly. He did not seem like someone worthy of their respect.
"What do you want to see?" Li Qingshan answered with a question.
"You said you obtained a good blade, so it must be the one on your waist, right? I'd like to see just how 'good' this blade is."
"Granny" arrived before Li Qingshan with her dragon-headed cane. Her old face was filled with anger.
"You really want to see? This blade will definitely see blood! "Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow.
"See whose blood?"
"Obviously the blood of whoever wants to see it."
"Alright, alright, alright. I'd like to see just how you're going to make me see blood."
"Granny" laughed from extreme anger, staring at Li Qingshan intently. It had to be mentioned that even if the Fire Devouring King Zhu Yan were present, he probably would not be her opponent. Although water paled in comparison to fire in battle, there was still a difference in cultivation after all. When she heard Li Qingshan's words, it was like an ant telling a human, "I want to bite you to death in a single bite." It was hilarious and detestable.
Li Qingshan stood up and placed his hand on the hilt of his blade. His eyebrows were lowered, but he said nothing.
The atmosphere in the hall immediately froze. Even the Divine Nun of the South Sea and Little Ann stopped their conversation and cast their gazes over.
The Divine Nun of the South Sea asked secretly, "Who is he to you? He's probably going to suffer a great loss. He already possesses such cultivation at such a young age. He might be a genius, but isn't he a little too arrogant? Even if the blade really is strange, how can it be her opponent? "
Little Ann shook her head gently. "He's asking for trouble."
A while later, Li Qingshan put down the hilt of the blade and sighed. "Looking at how old you are, I really can't bring myself to do it. Whatever, whatever. I'm old, so I take advantage of my seniority. It's normal for me to spout some nonsense. Gongyuan, aren't you going to do something about it?"
Gongyuan was speechless.
"What, are you afraid?" "Granny" said in disdain. It was laughable that she had actually taken it a little seriously Just Now. She raised her dragon-headed cane high into the air. "Then I'd like to see your blood!"
