Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 401-Chapter 500)

“Qingshan.” Xiao An threw herself into Li Qingshan’s arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

A strange fragrance like sandalwood filled his arms. As he touched the jade-like skin, it felt indescribably fine and soft, such that even precious jade completely paled in comparison. He truly understood what “as fine as jade” meant now.

Li Qingshan rubbed his nose. He suddenly felt rather embarrassed, finally remembering the fact that they were of different genders. He took out a dress and lectured her as he dressed her, “Look, Xiao An, you’re not a child anymore. As a girl, you can’t just let other people see your body. Raise your hand!”

“It’s not like you’re other people,” Xiao An raised her hand and slipped it into the sleeves as she said in confusion.

“I’m no different.” Li Qingshan said sternly.



Xiao An raised her head and looked at Li Qingshan. Her brilliant pupils suddenly flashed, and she smiled, which seemed like flowers blooming. Even Li Qingshan was taken slightly aback.

“What are you smiling for?”

Xiao An smiled gently. She shook her head and said nothing.

“Turn around.” Li Qingshan shook his head helplessly. He had no idea whether it was because most of her immaturity had vanished as her body grew that she seemed to mature overnight, now possessing certain thoughts that even he was unable to guess.

Xiao An turned around obediently and allowed Li Qingshan to tie up her waistband.

“Alright, you’re like a princess now.” Li Qingshan studied in satisfaction.

Princess!

Xiao An’s heart skipped a beat. She found that form of reference to be rather familiar. Some of her lost memories rose up, but she immediately dismissed them to one side.

It had already been several years since Li Qingshan last mentioned he would take her home. She seemed to have forgotten about it completely too.

The matters of yesterday were not worth mentioning. Only tomorrow was worth looking forward to. Only today was worth treasuring.

Li Qingshan took out the True Spirit pills he had obtained from the Parlour and Clouds and Rain and mentioned Ma Buyi’s plan.

Hearing that, Xiao An began cultivating in Li Qingshan’s arms.

Before long, all of the true qi in her body had been converted into spiritual qi. She continued to meditate for a little longer until the seven types of spiritual qi filled her dantian. Only then did she stop and say, “I’m done.”

She had even managed to succeed with the Path of White Bone and Great Beauty, so practising the Cloud Bookcase of the Seven Lots now obviously took no extra effort. It did not pose any difficulty at all.

“Don’t let other Qi Practitioners see you, or you’ll drive them crazy.” Li Qingshan sighed with a smile.

……

Several days later, in the Parlour of Clouds and Rain.

The upper echelon of the Daemon Suppression alliance and the Academy of the Hundred Schools gathered together once more.

Li Qingshan’s news from the Chain mountains made everyone eager and excited. They discussed among themselves.

“Has she really established a foundation? She’s not even twenty this year!”

“That’s not it. A few years ago, she was still a regular person. Compared to her, we’re all mediocre.”

“Once they’re here, we’ll obviously find out. I’d like to see just how impressive she’s supposed to be!”

A cloud descended from the sky. Li Qingshan and Xiao An arrived together.





Chapter 469: Divining with All Seven Lots, Great Sword of Heavy Water | Legend of the Great Sage




With Xiao An’s appearance, the platform on the very top of the parlour immediately fell quiet.

Hua Chengzan’s eyes lit up, slightly amazed.

He had been born with a handsome, flawless face and both Qiu Haitang and Hua Chenglu who he had regular contact with were rare beauties. Even his dream lover was a supreme beauty like Gu Yanying.

Originally, he thought he would never be amazed by beauty again, but now, that was exactly what he felt. Even more to his disbelief, the person that amazed him was a budding young girl around thirteen or fourteen years of age.

Today, Xiao An was not dressed in any special manner, or even rather casual. She had no concept of beauty and ugliness, and a grown man like Li Qingshan would never spend time to dress her. However, none of it impeded her beauty.

She did not have an enchanting smile, only glancing past everyone calmly with her pitch-black eyes. They were like calm, deep pools, unable to reflect anyone. However, that empty expression of hers possessed indescribable, bizarre charm on her face.

Qiongzhi, oh Qiongzhi. You really are in trouble. Hua Chengzan could not help but worry for his good friend.

Whether it’s Gu Yanying beyond reach or Ru Xin within arm’s reach, probably neither of them pose a threat as great as this kid! When Qingshan was still a Qi Practitioner, he went as far as standing up against Qiu Haitang, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, for her sake, willingly offending an entire group of school leaders for her. What about now? What about the future?

Qiu Haitang was standing right behind Hua Chengzan. Although she had already given up on him, they remained as very good friends. She obviously would not miss out on the excitement with everything that was happening today.

After all these years, she saw Xiao An again. Aside from her amazement, she could not help but experience deep pity and envy.

She’s already so charming despite being so young. If she practised the cultivation methods of my Sect of Clouds and Rain instead, just who would still be able to withstand her once she grew a little older? If I had her beauty, even little Hua that infatuated, blind lover would probably change his mind!

If it’s just the Aspect of Heavenly Fragrance and Beauty, then so be it. What’s even more terrifying is her unbelievable cultivation talent. This Li Qingshan’s good fortune is basically out of control. That’s the only reason why he’s managed to find an unbelievable wonder like her.

Qiu Haitang suddenly frowned. Though, is it really good fortune? The disaster of beauty, being able to overthrow kingdoms, isn’t all just for say. As the ancient saying goes, ‘With the Heavenly Aspect, the world is thrown into chaos’ I doubted it a little, but looks like it’s actually true now.

“Qingshan, is this Xiao An?”

Fu Qingjin studied Xiao An deeply. She was a teenage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and she had not even begun cultivating from a young age. Only five or six years had passed at most, and she had never received any true, close guidance. She had basically relied on her own comprehension and understanding. Even Fu Qingjin could not help but admit he paled in comparison to this talent.

It was no wonder that the Annihilum Light Chan Master of the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga would travel thousands of kilometers to accept her as a disciple despite how aloof and outstanding he was. He seemed like he was lowering himself and making a fuss out of something, but this was actually a clever move to take. Otherwise, even the Sword Collection palace and Umbral Yin sect would fight over a disciple like her!

In the cultivation world, even ten thousand mediocre people could not rival a single genius. This point was made extremely obvious through this war. They were at Foundation Establishment, yet a single Fu Qingjin was worth more than ten regular Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Li Qingshan said, “Yes. She doesn’t really like to talk. Everyone, let’s begin!”

“The quiet room has already been prepared. I also want to witness Xiao An’s divination with the seven lots.” Ma Buyi stepped forward and bowed towards Li Qingshan and Xiao An individually.

“You’re far too polite, senior.” Li Qingshan lowered his head. “Xiao An, it’s fine, right?”

Xiao An nodded and entered the room with Ma Buyi. Everyone else waited outside for the results.
