Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 301-Chapter 400)

Li Qingshan reconsidered and pulled his hand back. If he really did grab her, this woman probably possessed the nerve to rat him out to Han Qiongzhi. She was a fantastic girlfriend, but once she became caught up in jealousy, she would be beyond reason.

A while back, they had visited the school of Miscellany, and there were female cultivators who received them warmly. He joked with them a little—okay fine, perhaps he had gone a little too far—and she almost blew it in the end. When they went back, it took him quite the effort to calm her down. If Ru Xin ratted him out now, the volcano would actually end up erupting.

“Actually, even if you do grab me, I won’t tell her anything. I’m not that evil. Come, you want to give it a try?” Ru Xin purposefully lifted her dress and exposed her slender ankle, taking a step towards Li Qingshan.

“I don’t want to.” Li Qingshan glanced at it, completely unfazed.

Ru Xin patted Li Qingshan’s head gently. “What a good boy!”

Li Qingshan curled his lip and just let the matter slide. They had already become very good friends, or why else would she watch him refine pills for three whole days?

Although she had struck him with an exorbitant price, demanding a thousand spiritual stones right off the bat, it ended up being a free service after joking around a little. If it were not for her timely warnings, he would have almost destroyed the batch many times.

They waited for another fifteen minutes. The pill cauldron flashed, and the lid slowly opened. White steam hissed out, enveloping the two of them and filling the entire room. It was filled with an intoxicating herbal fragrance.

Before the steam had even dispersed, Li Qingshan made his way over to the pill cauldron eagerly. He saw that all the herbs had merged to form a white paste, laying at the bottom of the cauldron. There was not the slightest impurity at all; it was as pure as the thick steam.

Success!





Chapter 344: Deep Feelings | Legend of the Great Sage




Li Qingshan brought his hand over the mixture. It shone with blue light, and the white paste began to twist and surge. In the end, they became round pills that followed the standard.

He did not know how to forge artifacts, but moulding the shape of objects was nothing difficult.

Ru Xin personally split the newly-refined pills into two portions, amounting to sixty in total. She smiled. “This is for the mission. Extend your hand.” Afterwards, she picked up a single Qi Condensing pill and placed it into Li Qingshan’s hand. “This is yours!”

Li Qingshan stared at the fruits of his labour from going three days and nights without a wink of sleep before raising his head and looking at the smiling Ru Xin. He felt deep spite. She just loved to see him in a bad mood.

There were no additional rewards to the alchemy mission. It purely depended on the person’s mastery over alchemy. As a new alchemist, the only reason he had managed to finish this without costing himself was all thanks to the mid grade spiritual artifact cauldron and Ru Xin.

Ru Xin appreciated Li Qingshan’s expression in satisfaction. She felt like her three days of labour had finally bore fruit.

Only afterwards did she say, “Your ability for splitting pills is absolutely horrid.” She brought her hand over the sixty Qi Condensing pills. White light surged out, and some of the white paste was pulled away, forming another three Qi Condensing pills, while the remaining pills were completely the same size, reaching the standard of the mission perfectly, no more, no less.

Li Qingshan casually thanked her before lowering his head and stowing the sixty Qi Condensing pills into an embroidered box. As for the four remaining Qi Condensing pills, he directly tossed them into his mouth.

Ru Xin had already grown accustomed to this. “Your battle with the school of Painting is coming up in a few days. The school of Miscellany has already begun taking bets. Tell me some of that insider information. Do you think I should bet on your defeat or your victory?”

Li Qingshan rolled his eyes at her. “Whatever you want.”

“Alright then. I’ll bet on your victory. Though, if I end up losing, you’ll have to compensate me for my losses!”

“Keep dreaming.” Li Qingshan left through the door. He saw the blazing clouds in the west that had been dyed red by the setting sun reflected in the lake. It was absolutely beautiful. Sure enough, Han Qiongzhi was standing right in front of the background of the setting sun. Looking over, she seemed like a beautiful silhouette. Seeing Li Qingshan, she smiled resplendently and rushed over.

Before Li Qingshan could even speak, Ru Xin smiled. “Junior sister Han, your man tried to touch my foot earlier. You’d better keep an eye on him.”

Han Qiongzhi stopped and glared at Li Qingshan. She said in exasperation, “Understood!”

Li Qingshan’s gaze landed on Ru Xin’s white, slender neck. He became very serious.

Ru Xin raised her hand to shield her neck, as if she was afraid, but she continued to smile.

……

A small boat floated across the lake freely. The water and sky merged as one as both waterfowl and the glow of the setting sun filled the air.

Han Qiongzhi sat diagonally to the nose of the boat, looking over quietly. The breeze of a midsummer’s night ruffled her clothes.

Li Qingshan broke the silence. “Don’t listen to her. You know that she loves spinning lies the most.”

Han Qiongzhi looked over. “How dare you say you haven’t?”

“I absolutely haven’t!” Li Qingshan said seriously.

Han Qiongzhi smiled. “It’s not like I’m angry. What’re you so nervous for?”

Li Qingshan frowned. “Who are you? What did you do to Qiongzhi?”



Han Qiongzhi was taken aback. She grabbed him by the ear and said in irritation, “Am I really that mean?”

Li Qingshan smiled. He conveniently pulled her into his arms. “Yep, our Qiongzhi is very forgiving.” His other hand had already landed on her proud chest. Through the thin summer dress, it seemed to tremble in his hand.

“Don’t move about!” Han Qiongzhi grabbed his hand, but she allowed it to remain there.

After a few months together, this level of closeness had already become normalised. As she would describe it, I’ll let you take some advantage of me seeing how pitiful you are.

“I’m just curious.” Li Qingshan was bewildered. Ru Xin was definitely much more charming than that female cultivator of the school of Miscellany from the other day!

Han Qiongzhi said, “Senior sister Ru Xin is a very proud person.” The female disciples of the school of Miscellany all possessed mediocre talent. Their heads were filled with material gain. All they wanted to find was a strong male to depend on. They were not worthy of being called cultivators. Ru Xin, however, was different. She was a true cultivator.

Li Qingshan said, “Proud? How come that’s not what I feel?”

“Because you’re even prouder!” Han Qiongzhi propped herself up. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gazed deeply at this man she loved. The closer she was to him, the more she was drawn to him by his charm, and she began to wonder why she had actually failed to notice this the first time she had seen him. And, the aspect of him that enchanted her the most was the deep sense of pride hidden within his heart.

It was as if he possessed the determination to climb and traverse mountains no matter how precipitous they were, the courage to challenge enemies no matter how strong they were.

“I have even less of an impression of that!” Li Qingshan placed his hands on her waist. The curve of her body would suddenly pull in there, forming a thin, straight waist. He could not help but become glued to her plump, red lips. Even the pale gully that sometimes peeked out from her clothes were unable to make him shift his attention. He could not help but move his head towards them.
