Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 201-Chapter 300)

Hua Chengzan said, “Here, no matter what your identity is, no matter what your interests are, you can get whatever you want. There is boundless joy here.”


Li Qingshan suddenly sensed that something was amiss. He used the Spirit Turtle’s Method of Sea Suppression to stabilise his mind, and his smile immediately vanished. “Are there formations here that can influence the minds of people?” Afterwards, he saw how Xiao An was unaffected, just as expected, while Qian Rongzhi’s expression remained the same too, likely due to the Method of Clouds and Rain that she practised.

“That’s right!” Hua Chengzan nodded. He appreciated Li Qingshan’s sharp senses.

Li Qingshan said, “Don’t tell me it’s fine to delude people like this?”

Wu Gen said, “What delude people? You’d better stop exaggerating.”

Hua Chengzan said, “Just what part of wine, women, avarice, and pride isn’t deluding people? And, just who dislikes them? Compared to those, don’t you think that using some techniques to bring joy to people in a way that is neither harmful to the body or the mind is much better?”

Li Qingshan shook his head. “I’d rather go without joys like that.”

Hua Chengzan smiled. “Everyone is drunk, so why must you be the only one sober?”

Li Qingshan looked into Hua Chengzan’s clear pupils and asked, “Are you drunk?” He did not feel like Hua Chengzan was one to wallow in these kinds of things.

Hua Chengzan blinked his eyes. “Haven’t you ever heard of sobering up with alcohol?”

The two of them smiled at each other.

Wu Gen said impatiently, “Just what riddles are you throwing at each other?”

The surroundings suddenly quietened. They had already arrived at the very top of the Parlour of Clouds and Rain. The stars twinkled overhead, while the surroundings were now a garden. Tall bamboo grew in verdant clumps, with both fake mountains and ponds present in the surroundings. As a matter of fact, there was even a small, gurgling stream. It was impossible to imagine that this was on the top of a tall building. The sound of traditional instruments rang out from a few pavilions in the distance.

They walked along a small path and ran into a half-drunk, middle-aged man who was supported by a gorgeous woman. Both of them were Qi Practitioners, while the man was actually at the tenth layer. His green robes were wrinkled, and he had his hand on the woman’s perky bottom. Even his beard struggled to make him seem even the slightest bit more dignified.

The middle-aged man saw Hua Chengzan and moved away from the woman in a hurry. He tidied up his clothes and put on a gentleman’s act. “S- so it’s commander Hua.”

Hua Chengzan smiled. “What are you doing here, sir?”

The middle-aged man coughed gently. “Collecting material, collecting material.”

The woman rubbed his chest. “Didn’t you say you’d make me feel good once in bed?”

The middle-aged man refuted awkwardly, “Stop talking nonsense.” The woman only smiled, clearly completely unafraid of him. She even tossed a few flirtatious glances at Hua Chengzan.



Wu Gen sniggered, while Hua Chengzan stepped aside to give way. “You can go first, sir. Let’s not delay your proper business.”

Wu Gen said disdainfully, “Shameless degenerate.”

The middle-aged man left in a disheveled manner. Li Qingshan asked curiously, “Who is he?” He had seen quite a few powerful Qi Practitioners before. Whether they were enemies or friends, they all had quite the bearing about them, unlike how unsightly that man was.

Wu Gen said, “A shameless degenerate.”

Hua Chengzan said, “Shh, be quiet!”

“What’s so scary about him? Let’s head over!”

Between the bamboo was a bamboo building. Two strange, stone, humanoid statues held lanterns at the entrance, giving off the feeling of a foreign land. The stream flowed into a bamboo basket on the side.

Li Qingshan entered the building with Hua Chengzan. There were around a dozen young men and women currently drinking happily.

All of them were Qi Practitioners, and none of them were below the sixth layer.

Seeing Hua Chengzan walk in, a young man with some whiskers and fair skin grabbed Hua Chengzan by the sleeve. “Senior brother, you ran off before you were even done drinking. What’s that supposed to mean? You need to be punished with three additional cups.”

Everyone kicked up a fuss together. “Three additional cups!” There were also people who asked, “Who’re they?”

Hua Chengzan said, “Alright, alright, alright. Don’t fuss around. Let me introduce these two friends to you. This one is Li Qingshan and she’s Qian Rongzhi. They’re both joining our school of Legalism.”

“These people are all the talents of our school of Legalism in the Clear River prefecture. They might seem a little unbearable, as they are a bit unbearable. I’m not going to introduce them one by one, but let’s all get along in the future!”

Before he was done, everyone had already begun mocking him, “You’re unbearable.”

Before he had come here, Li Qingshan had already learnt a little about the school of Legalism from the Book of All. The current leader of the school of Legalism was the Scarlet Hawk commander, Wang Pushi.

The Academy of the Hundred Schools was not completely cut off from the outside world. Instead, it had an extremely close connection throughout the many levels of the Great Xia empire. The disciples there had great freedom. As long as they had paid their fees, they could do whatever they wanted. Of course, the fees were large amounts of spiritual stones.

This freedom was exactly what Li Qingshan wanted. The rules were not rigid and restrictive like sects. It was relatively more convenient if he wanted to head out to handle some matters.

Some disciples of legalism would study in the academy while doing their job as a Hawkwolf guard, which was possible as long as they killed a few figures on the blacklist every now and then.

The current primary disciple of legalism was Hua Chengzan, which made it even more difficult for Li Qingshan to decline. The people before him must have been the elites among the school of Legalism. They were unable to disguise their aggressive pride that came with their young age.

Li Qingshan clasped his hands at everyone, but most of them ignored him. However, when Qian Rongzhi emerged from behind and bowed gracefully, it made the eyes of a lot of the men present light up.

“Alright, Wu Gen. I was wondering why you didn’t come find us in the past few days. You said you had a friend coming into town, but turns out you’re just hiding a beauty to yourself.”

“Quit your bullshit.” Wu Gen refused to admit it, but his smile grew even wider.

Everyone saw Xiao An and praised her too. For a moment, the atmosphere was boisterous.

Hua Chengzan pulled Li Qingshan with him to sit down. He poured him some alcohol and smiled. “Just wait a moment. Your enemy will be arriving very soon.”

The others became rather surprised by the treatment that Li Qingshan received. Although Hu Chengzan treated everyone courteously, he was probably prouder than everyone else here. It was very rare for him to be so close with someone.

Li Qingshan said, “Let’s just hope we don’t blaze with hatred when we see our enemies.”

Hua Chengzan patted his shoulder. “Don’t worry.”



Li Qingshan smiled. Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind from behind and his body stiffened. Hua Chengzan patted his hand with a smile, as if he was telling him to relax.

A woman wrapped her arms around Hua Chengzan and Li Qingshan’s necks from behind. A pretty face appeared between them and smiled. “What enemy?”
