Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 101-Chapter 200)

Wagering his life on the mood of an idiot was not a clever choice. Before he had obtained the power to protect himself, he had decided to maintain his distance. I can’t afford to provoke him, but that doesn’t mean I can’t avoid him.

Yu Shukuang jerked awake from his dream. “Great hero Li- Niu, where will you be going?”

“That’s not for you to worry about.” Li Qingshan pondered that question slightly. He was obviously going to go provoke the people he could afford to provoke.

Yu Shukuang said, “Then, please go, please go!” Before he had even finished talking, Li Qingshan had vanished already, kicking up a violent gust of wind and causing the door to swing wildly.

Yu Shukuang was rather reluctant to see him go. The ‘Tiger Butcher’ was terrifying, but he stuck to his word, and he was very generous. All he made him do was buy an estate and deliver a few days worth of food, and in return, he received a million taels of silver and a Hundred Grasses pill. He was an ideal backer that he could rely on. If he could help him out with a few things in return for some more pills, there was a lot of hope for him to reach the innate realm.

He climbed out of bed and took out an envelope from his drawer. He carefully took out the letter and read it under the lantern light.

His daughter’s letter told him that she had already ingested a legendary Innate pill and had already begun cultivating.

The edges had even become roughed up. Clearly, he had read it countless times already, but whenever he saw it, he would smile happily. That little girl who leaned on her arms as she listened to his stories of maintaining justice and helping the weak had finally grown up! She had surpassed her father!

However, what followed his joy was despondence and unease.

The world of Qi Practitioners was completely different from the world of the jianghu. In the jianghu, he was the great hero Yu who maintained justice and was revered by countless. However, before even the weakest Qi Practitioner, he had to bow and scrape to them, careful with every single move.

Only the ignorant common people would treat Qi Practitioners like gods. He understood this very well. No matter where, human nature was just as vile. He could only blame himself for enjoying her gazes of admiration too much, making the stories he told her too perfect. In the end, the stubborn girl really ended up believing in some ‘path of justice’. She might end up suffering as a result.

Recalling that, he could no longer fall asleep anymore. Sigh, he really was unable to help her at all now!

He was clearly still in his late thirties, yet he suddenly felt like he had aged. He stowed the letter away carefully and returned it to the drawer. He wanted to break through to the innate realm more than ever right now.

The starlight pierced through the trees and fell into the hole, landing onto Milliped’s dazed face. His eyes were wide and his mouth was wide open as he stared at this sight that he rarely ever saw. Saliva flowed out of his mouth. “Looks like sesame!”

“How slow!”

Li Qingshan left Salt Mountain city. He travelled a few dozen kilometers, found a cave, and dove in. He travelled underground and arrived before the Zombie Daoist’s dwelling before suddenly stopping. His nose pricked up, and he sniffed the air gently. His expression immediately changed.

It was extremely faint, but the familiar smell of rouge was something he could never forget. It came from that deviant, the West Gate Granny!

Aside from that, there were three other different scents of rouge. At least four people of the Sect of Clouds and Rain were here, and it was very likely that they were the four grannies of the Sect of Clouds and Rain, or four ninth layer Qi Practitioners in other words.

He had never thought they would actually come here in search of him. He felt like he had still been too careless. If he were caught in the dwelling by these people, the consequences would be unthinkable.

PS: Xiao An’s first words, which probably aren’t what everyone was expecting! As one of the main characters in this book, she will gradually display her own flair. She obviously won’t be surpassed by some deviant of a woman. To be honest, they do bear different things on their shoulders in this book, but they definitely don’t exist just to become the main character’s women. I like this feeling very much. If you like it too, then give me some monthly tickets in support!





Chapter 194: The Tiger and the Snake's Trap | Legend of the Great Sage




Smell would always be the aspect that human cultivators missed the most. Li Qingshan possessed a sense of smell that was a hundred times stronger than regular beasts. Combined with his instincts for danger and killing intent, it was impossible for him to be ambushed so easily.

He concealed all of his aura and gripped his Wind-entwining blade firmly. He prepared all of his talismans and approached the Zombie Daoist’s dwelling slowly. He constantly sniffed for the lingering scent in the air and did his best to discern where they were hiding right now.

He had set out for the Sect of Clouds and Rain, so how could he flee right after seeing them? Of course, his battle tactic would be to retreat if there were many people, but if there were only a few, he would kill them. If he worked with Xiao An, he had some confidence in being able to triumph over a ninth layer Qi Practitioner.

When he finally set foot in the dwelling, it was empty inside. All that was left was a lingering scent that slowly dispersed.

Why would these great Qi Practitioners remain in the pitch-black underground, waiting for the arrival of a junior? They only waited for a few days before leaving this place to search for Wei Yingjie’s whereabouts.

Li Qingshan was slightly disappointed. It seemed like it would take him some effort.

……

In the middle of the night, Li Qingshan climbed up the mountain where the Hawkwolf Guard resided on and arrived before his original residence. As expected, there was an aura inside, but it was much stronger than he had expected, but the smell was right. Qian Rongzhi had actually broken through to the fifth layer. She was even faster than him.

With Xiao An outside keeping an eye out, Li Qingshan climbed up the residence alone and opened the window. He saw Qian Rongzhi meditating in the room and practising qi. She did not seem to be lascivious at all. Instead, she seemed rather solemn.

Qian Rongzhi heard the window open, so she immediately stood up and grabbed her weapon and talismans, assuming a defensive posture. Afterwards, she was surprised. “It’s you?”

Li Qingshan said, “It’s me.”

Qian Rongzhi eased up. She did not even ask why Li Qingshan had become so big. Her eyes lit up as she said, “You’ve reached the third layer. You really are a genius!” The first time she had seen Li Qingshan was only a few months ago. Back then, he was still a first layer Qi Practitioner.

Li Qingshan said, “Your cultivation surprises me more.”

Qian Rongzhi said, “The worthless have their own worthless ways. Unfortunately, it’s still not enough to defeat you.”

Li Qingshan squinted his eyes. “What will you do if you could defeat me?”

Qian Rongzhi smiled thinly. “You’ll know when it happens!”

Li Qingshan refused to dwell on this matter. He cut to the chase. “What’s going on with the Sect of Clouds and Rain? Who’s in charge of the Parlour of Clouds and Rain now?”

“Don’t ask me. I was dragged into the matter due to Wei Yingjie’s disappearance. I’ve already been expelled from the Sect of Clouds and Rain. I knelt on the ground and begged the granny for a very long time, but it was all useless. I’ve been tested for all this time, all for nothing. I didn’t even get a single cultivation method. Aren’t I pitiful?” Qian Rongzhi said bitterly and pitifully, as if she had not personally abused Wei Yingjie to death.
