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

However, Xiao An continued smelting the white bones.

The Blood Flames of Corpse Incineration and the Pale Flames of Bone Smelting were only the most basic techniques from the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty. Their greatest use was not to harm people, but for cultivation. The Blood Flames of Corpse Incineration were for completely absorbing the essence in flesh and blood such that not a single shred of it went to waste. On the other hand, the Pale Flames of Bone Smelting could melt the bones into fluid, which could be used to strengthen himself.

Besides that, it had one more use, which was for forging artifacts.

Practitioners of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty were different from other cultivators. The weapons they used were extremely special. There was a special part of the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty devoted to forging weapons, which recorded several dozen special artifacts.

The Blood Sea Banner, the Trisepultural Robes, the Skull Prayer Beads…

Xiao An decided to use these several hundred skeletons to forge his first white bone spiritual artifact, the Skull Prayer Beads.





Chapter 149: The Flesh and Blood of a Thousand People | Legend of the Great Sage




Xiao An parted his hands and several hundred skeletons flew before him with a series of rattles, forming a tight sphere.

The Pale Flames of Bone Smelting surged up and swallowed the sphere of bones. Its surface gradually melted.

Xiao An brought his hands together and sat in a meditative pose; his eyes were directed to his nose, and his nose was directed to his heart. However, there was nothing. He had no eyes, no nose, and no heart. He chanted the buddhist scriptures, but he made no sound.

This was an extremely strange and terrifying sight, yet he happened to give off an aura of solemnity and righteousness. There was nothing related to evil or the undead.

The process of melting the bone sphere was extremely slow, but under Xiao An’s control, the Pale Flames of Bone Smelting burned more and more vigorously.

Unknowingly, another half a month had passed. Ever since that night when he learned alchemy, Qian Rongzhi had visited him several times, but she failed to get any benefit out of him, so she hurried back to Jiaping city. The only message she left behind was that she would await his return to Jiaping city.

As for Li Qingshan’s peaceful lifestyle, it finally began to fall apart.

Although the Qian family’s reign over the Ancient Wind city had collapsed, it would not turn the city into a happy paradise where people could live in peace. This world was not a fairytale world where people could live happily.

In the valley of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. The people of the martial arts society that Qi Practitioners had originally suppressed began to show up. They formed gangs and fought for territory. Every single day, they would have several battles on the street over the possession of each brothel in the city, with even more battles and assassinations that happened in the dark.

On this day, Li Qingshan went to a restaurant he frequented and ordered a table of delicious dishes. As soon as he began to eat, a large number of people flooded the place and ordered all the customers to leave. It seemed like the leaders of the two largest gangs in the western part of the city wanted to negotiate something.

A burly man arrived before Li Qingshan’s table and said impatiently, “Are you done eating? If you’re done, then get out of here!”

Li Qingshan looked at the burly man before looking at his table of food and drinks. He shook his head firmly. “I’m not done.”

The burly man said, “Kid, have some sense. Don’t act like you have a tough backbone. I’ve crushed many bones in the past few days.”

Against a threat that had no substance and had no deterrent influence at all, Li Qingshan could not even rouse his anger. He just sighed over how he really had been a little too laid-back recently.

The burly man lost his temper. He launched an attack without any hesitation at all. He was just as he seemed on the surface, all brawn and no brain, no, he did not even have brawn actually.

The burly man flew out of the restaurant and knocked down a wall. However, with one man down, several dozen stood up. They all leered at him. They yelled out a few threats that had just about the same substance as the previous one before charging over together. Afterwards, they all flew out of the restaurant.

Only then did the remaining people suddenly seem to come to a realisation. They stood there trembling and watched Li Qingshan finish his meal, place the money on the table, and make his way out of the door. He muttered to himself, “What peaceful life? If I didn’t have the strength, I wouldn’t even be able to have a proper meal.”

The two gang leaders walked over from the two ends of the street as their own people surrounded them. In order to show their contempt for each other, they had both chosen to come late out of pure coincidence. However, they just happened to catch Li Qingshan at the entrance, or should one say, Li Qingshan just happened to catch them at the entrance.

As soon as Li Qingshan made his way down the steps of the restaurant, he raised his head and looked at the hazy sky. Summer was almost over.

“Who are you?”

Li Qingshan thought about how they truly were the bosses after all. At the very least, they would ask about their opponent’s origins and name. Of course, this was very likely due to overestimating him. The several dozen men groaning on the ground played quite an effect.

“I am Li Qingshan of the Hawkwolf Guard. You are their bosses. Your crime of attacking a Hawkwolf Guard on the street cannot be forgiven. Today, I will be executing you on the spot… forget it, I don’t have much interest in killing lately, so let’s just say it’s your lucky day.”

As Li Qingshan spoke and his aura rose, the two bosses turned sheet-white. Even in ten year’s time, the people of Ancient Wind city would not forget about his name. Of all the people they could run into, why him?

When Li Qingshan said ‘executing you on the spot’, their knees had already given way. They could not even plead for their lives. They just closed their eyes, waiting for their deaths. However, Li Qingshan’s tone and aura suddenly declined like a singer unable to hit a high note; it was as if he had just chosen to give up on it.



Only when Li Qingshan’s figure vanished did their subordinates help up the two bosses. They looked at each other with the joy of surviving a disaster. In the end, the two of them put aside their differences because of this encounter and celebrated together, forming a new gang. The rest was self-explanatory.

Li Qingshan returned to his courtyard and smacked his face in the mirror. “Get yourself together, Li Qingshan!”

Suddenly, he felt like he understood the mindset of those so-called masters, like ‘someone like you is unworthy of me killing you’. However, he immediately made up his mind to abandon this mindset. You’re still just a low level Qi Practitioner. You’re nowhere close to the point where you can be pretentious. Yep, no matter who provokes me in the future, I’ll step over them, even if it’s just a piece of shit on the ground.

Then, Li Qingshan looked towards the pit. Xiao An, are you well?

He had already begun to miss Jiaping city and Zhuo Zhibo.
