"Of course, these are just my opinions. As for what to do, it's up to you, "Zhuge Yuanhong said with a smile.
Teng Qingshan nodded with a smile and said, "Teacher, you are much more comprehensive than I am. By the way, Teacher, can I take some of the Elixir of the North Sea with me?"
"You risked your life to get the Elixir of the North Sea. Tell me, how many drops do you need?" Zhuge Yuan-hong asked. Teng Qingshan pondered and said, "There are only about three thousand sets of Fiery Gilt Steel Battle Armor. I can get a troop of 1,500 soldiers from the Tai Ah Mountain Range. Teacher, you can give me 1,500 drops of the Elixir of the North Sea. "
Zhuge Yuan-hong looked at Elder Wu and said respectfully, "Martial Ancestor, the Elixir of the North Sea is with you. Please give me two bottles."
"Okay."
Elder Wu smiled as he turned into a blur and disappeared from the room.
After a short while, Elder Wu returned.
"Qingshan." Elder Wu handed over two black jade bottles with wooden stoppers and said, "This bottle contains about one thousand drops of the Elixir of the North Sea. Two bottles contain two thousand drops."
At the side, Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled and said, "If it's not enough, we can talk about it later."
"I only have a few subordinates. It's enough." Teng Qingshan smiled as he took the two jade bottles and put them in the bag behind him. "Teacher, how many Blazing Flame Red Lotus Seeds do you want? These lotus seeds can help an expert at the peak of the Postliminary Realm break through to the Emptiness Dan Innate Realm. It can also help a True Dan Innate Realm cultivator reach the Golden Dan Innate Realm! "
"It is indeed a magical treasure." Elder Wu couldn't help but praise.
"Three is enough." Zhuge Yuan-hong nodded.
Teng Qingshan opened the jade box in the bag. There were eight lotus seeds left. He took out three and gave them to Zhuge Yuan-hong. Who wouldn't want a treasure? Actually, Zhuge Yuan-hong also wanted a lot. However … Zhuge Yuan-hong knew that a 21-year-old Emptiness Realm Expert was unprecedented, and it was possible that no one would be able to do it in the future!
In the future, Teng Qingshan would definitely reach the culmination of the Emptiness Realm.
Reaching the Insightful Emptiness Realm was also in the bag.
It wasn't impossible for him to become a legendary Omnipotent Expert on par with Emperor Yu and the Heavenly Emperor of Qin Mountains! If the Gui Yuan Sect wanted to survive for thousands of years, they would have to rely on Teng Qingshan. Naturally, for many things, Zhuge Yuan-hong was only giving suggestions. Even if there were treasures … he would not be greedy.
"Master." Teng Qingshan's voice suddenly turned low.
"Hmm? What is it? "Zhuge Yuan-hong asked.
"Where are Qing Qing's ashes?" When Teng Qingshan said this, his heart ached.
Zhuge Yuan-hong's expression changed. He sighed and said, "Follow me."
*****
Because of the constant killing in the Nine Prefectures, few people built cemeteries. For example, if some large sects built their tombs outside the city, they were worried that it would be dug up. But in the city, how many tombs would a large sect need for a thousand years? There wouldn't be enough space to build a tomb. Therefore, cremation of the corpses and protection of the urns were done in almost every place in the world.
"Eleven!"
Teng Qingshan's gaze fell on a tower in front of him. There were many urns of cremated members of the Gui Yuan Sect.
"Qingshan, Qing Qing's urn is on the third floor of the eleventh tower. It is made of icicle jades. You will see it when you go up." Zhuge Yuan-hong's eyes were filled with sorrow. The most painful thing in the world was to see a child die before his own eyes.
Zhuge Qing's death was a great blow to Zhuge Yuan-hong.
"Yes, Master."
Teng Qingshan carried a basket. In the basket, there were incense, candles, wine pots, wine cups, and many other sacrificial items. He immediately stepped into the pagoda. Although there were windows in the pagoda and sunlight shone in, the entire pagoda inexplicably felt very gloomy and cold. On every floor, there were stone tablets that were nearly three Zhang tall. Many names were densely carved on each stone tablet.
Clatter! Thud! Thud!
Stepping on the stone stairs, a gust of cold wind blew through the tower.
He arrived at the third floor!
There weren't many cinerary urns on the third floor. It was obvious that it wasn't full yet. Although there were ten tall stone tablets, only one of them was densely packed with names. The other stone tablets were empty.
"Qing Qing." Teng Qingshan stood in front of the first stone tablet and glanced at it.
On the fifth row, there was the seventeenth name – Zhuge Qing.
The fairy-like girl in the past was now just one of the many names on the tombstones.
"It's been almost four years, Qing Qing … …" Teng Qingshan walked to the many cinerary caskets behind the tombstone. Among them, the cinerary casket that seemed to be made of transparent ice was very eye-catching. Three words were carved on the side of the cinerary casket — Zhuge Qing. On the right side of these three words, there were a few smaller words — Written by Father Zhuge Yuanhong!
"Qing Qing, it's been four years, but I feel like it happened just yesterday." Teng Qingshan squatted down and put down all kinds of worshiping items. He then lit the incense and candles and poured a cup of sake.
… …
"Big Brother Teng."
"Can, can you, kiss me? Kiss me. Just like, husband kissing wife! "
… …
The sad scene was still fresh in his mind. As Teng Qingshan looked at the urn before him, he couldn't help but feel heartache.
Teng Qingshan held the wine jug in his hand. There was still more than half of the wine left in the jug. He raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth. "Gurgle ~ ~ ~" Teng Qingshan drank continuously. He almost finished the wine in one breath. Some of the wine spilled on his clothes. It was as if a ball of fire was burning in his chest.
"Qing Qing, Big Brother Teng hasn't come to see you for a long time. He finally came today."
"He finally came back!"
Teng Qingshan gently stroked the urn. The urn was made of icicle jade and emitted a bone-piercing coldness. Teng Qingshan lowered his head and kissed the urn. He kissed the urn of the pitiful girl who only begged for a kiss from Teng Qingshan before she died. It was like a husband kissing his wife.
"Qing Qing, Big Brother Teng can't do anything for you."
"I can only promise that your brother, your parents, and the others will live a good life … and that the Gui Yuan Sect will be passed down forever. I will make Qing Hu Island, which caused your death, disappear like smoke! "
Teng Qingshan swore softly in front of Lady Qing's urn.
*****
In the evening of the same day, Teng Qingshan returned to the Li Residence of Nanxing County with two bottles of the Elixir of the North Sea.
The next morning:
Whew ~ ~ The cold wind blew in the morning. On the training field, the enormous Six Legged Bladelike Chi was lying in a pit. It stared at Teng Qingshan with its huge, protruding golden eyes. When Teng Qingshan finished, the enormous creature began to think hard.
"Whew ~ ~ Whew ~ ~"
The Six Legged Bladelike Chi's breath carried a fishy smell.
"Ah Shou, Ah Dong." Teng Qingshan shouted.
"Teacher!" Teng Shou and Yang Dong answered hastily.
Teng Qingshan couldn't help but glance at Teng Shou. "Ah Shou."
"Senior Martial Brother forgot to call me 'Teacher' again." Yang Dong giggled. After coming to the Land of the Nine Prefectures, Teng Qingshan had forced the two to change their habits. They no longer called Teng Qingshan 'Teacher' but 'Teacher'. Teng Shou scratched his head awkwardly and said in a deep voice, "Yes, Teacher. Disciple will remember."
Teng Qingshan nodded and looked at Yang Dong. "Ah Dong, how is your cultivation of fist art?"
"It's just like this." Yang Dong shook his head helplessly and said, "I still don't feel anything."
Teng Shou, who was at the side, said, "Teacher, Ah Dong is not suitable to cultivate the Internal Martial Art."
It had been half a year since Teng Qingshan had accepted Yang Dong as his disciple. However, Yang Dong had not made any progress in cultivating the Internal Martial Art. Compared to Teng Shou, who had an extremely high comprehension ability, Yang Dong was too far behind.
"Being suitable is the best. You shouldn't force it." Teng Qingshan shook his head secretly. It would be great if all the disciples that he, Teng Qingshan, had started cultivating the Internal Martial Art and carried it forward in the future. Unfortunately, the requirements for cultivating the Internal Martial Art were slightly higher.
"Ah Dong, open your mouth," Teng Qingshan instructed.
"Eh?" Yang Dong was startled.
Teng Qingshan walked to the side and picked up the bundle. He took out a jade bottle from the bundle and gently pulled out the cork.
"Open your mouth." Teng Qingshan frowned.
"Yes, Teacher." Yang Dong nervously called Teng Qingshan 'Teacher' again.
Teng Qingshan extended a water-blue Supreme Force from his hand and dipped a drop of the Elixir of the North Sea into the jade bottle. He then wrapped it with the Supreme Force and delivered it to Yang Dong's mouth, releasing the Supreme Force.
Drip!
A drop of the Elixir of the North Sea fell into Yang Dong's body. Yang Dong's face suddenly turned red and then green. His entire body trembled.
"Eh?" Teng Qingshan extended his hand and placed it on Yang Dong's shoulder. A strand of the water-blue Supreme Force immediately seeped into Yang Dong's body. Teng Qingshan immediately felt some of the meridians in Yang Dong's body. Teng Qingshan revealed a smile and said, "As expected of the Elixir of the North Sea. Its effect is even better than the Scarlet Fruit."
After the time it took to drink a cup of tea.
Yang Dong's expression returned to normal and he opened his eyes.
"Eh, Teacher." Yang Dong looked at Teng Qingshan in surprise and said, "I, I feel that the inner strength in my body is very strong."
"You have already reached the pinnacle of the Postliminary Realm. Even your meridians have been modified." Teng Qingshan took out a secret manual from his bosom. The words on the manual were written in Duanmu Continent's characters. "This is the Tianfeng Clan's superior secret manual — Ardent Wind Secret Manual. It is enough for you to cultivate to the Golden Dan Innate Realm. From now on, you will practice this secret manual."
Teng Qingshan tossed the manual to Yang Dong, who caught it in surprise.
The Mu Clan didn't care about the many secret manuals among the Tianfeng Clan's treasures. After all, the Mu Clan had the inheritance of Duanmu Deity. However, Teng Qingshan still cared about them and brought them to the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
The Tianfeng Clan itself had many secret manuals. In addition, they had plundered the secret manuals of other clans. The number of secret manuals in the Tianfeng Clan's treasures was several times more than that of the Gui Yuan Sect.
"From today onwards, I will teach you the sword art 《Forty-nine Azure Lotus Swords》. In terms of power, the 《Forty-nine Azure Lotus Swords》 is almost the same as the 《Seventy-two Earth Splitting Forms》. You must not be careless. If you can't even practice the sword art, I will not teach you any more martial arts, "Teng Qingshan said seriously.
"Yes, Teacher." Feeling the pressure, Yang Dong didn't dare to be careless anymore. He hastily responded respectfully.
*****
On the morning of the second day after teaching Yang Dong, Teng Qingshan hired some men and the guards of the Li Residence to escort the three big boxes of Fiery Gilt Steel to Jiangning County City. After all, he couldn't let the Six Legged Bladelike Chi descend upon the Gui Yuan Sect arrogantly. The Six Legged Bladelike Chi was too big.
"Little Jun, I am going out for a while. I will be back in a few days," Teng Qingshan said.
"Be careful on the road."
At the entrance of the Li Residence, Li Jun watched as Teng Qingshan and the group of guards left with the wooden boxes of Fiery Gilt Steel.
… …
"Eh? Second Brother, look at that woman. "
Not far from the street, two ordinary-looking young men were staring at Li Jun.
"Eh? Isn't she the person the higher-ups are looking for? It seems like they started looking for this woman three years ago?"
"Yes, that's her. She looks exactly the same as in the portrait. I didn't expect that we would find her after three years. "
The two young men looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with joy. They had struck gold this time!
