Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 601-Chapter 700)

After hearing Sun Fubai’s explanation, Liu Chuanfeng said, “Since we don’t have money, then we can just develop slowly. Why do we have to be in such a rush?”


Sun Fubai shook his head. “But that’s far too wasteful. It’s just like if we have an empty plot of land. The more seeds we plant now, the more we can harvest in the future. Each year we miss is a year of harvest lost, so the more we invest right now, the better it will be.”

Li Qingshan rummaged through his hundred treasures pouch and found a lot of silver notes and gold sycees. They were worth tens of thousand taels of silver.



“Then I’m not going to hold back. If only we had more.”

Li Qingshan contemplated and said, “Regular sects won’t save up too much gold and silver, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions. The Parlours of Clouds and Rain accept customers from far and wide, and most of them are just regular people who use gold and silver. The Sect of Clouds and Rain should be quite wealthy!”

Li Qingshan told them about Liu Zhangqing’s suggestion, and Sun Fubai said immediately, “That’s a good idea. A single Parlour of Clouds and Rain is worth even more than ten money houses!”

“Alright then. I’ll go put in a word with prefect Liu,” Li Qingshan said. It had been quite some time since he last saw Qiu Haitang. He wondered how she was doing right now.





Chapter 679: Love, Lies, and Change | Legend of the Great Sage




In the depths of the serene lake, water rippled over Qiu Haitang’s head. She sat up without moving. She had long eyelashes, a delicate, slightly-perky nose, rosy lips, and a head full of dark hair that flowed down like a waterfall, reaching down to her waist. She was charming and pretty.

A while later, she opened her eyes and let out a gloomy sigh. Before she knew it, she had already remained beneath the lake for a lengthy period. She had never remained in secluded cultivation for so long; it was as if the world had forgotten her.

Of course, only a single person knew she was here, but that person had clearly already thrown her to the back of his mind. These damned, heartless men!

She had established a foundation many years ago, so she was well-grounded. After switching to the Heart Dyeing Art of Rouge, she had already broken through to late Foundation Establishment with granny You’s Rouge Heart. However, she had not refined it completely, so she was still a fair bit off from peak Foundation Establishment.

Taking that step and condensing her own Rouge Heart was anything but easy. She did not have an Origin Spirit pill. Breaking through with her strength alone was far too difficult. She stood up and paced around the dwelling.

If her cultivation had not progressed rapidly, she virtually would have doubted whether she could actually stay here for so long. Although she had grown tired of the noise and business, she only discovered after so much solitude that living alone was not easy either.

She swept her dark hair behind her ears. Although she was a cultivator, her meaning of life, her reason of persistence, was definitely not just cultivation. She could not allow her beauty to silently wither away in the long river of time. All of her cultivation was for the sake of finding a man she loved before using the Lovesickness Dyes the Thread Red secret technique on him.

Since human nature was fickle, then she would use a red thread to restrain it, to bind them together. Who would that be?

At first, she thought of Hua Chengzan, but she immediately dismissed him with a smile. Although she had once loved him to the point where she had even cast aside her dignity, she had yet to become so insistent. If they had no interest, then what was the point of love that was purely maintained through a technique!

Afterwards, the face with a devilish smile and scarlet hair like fire appeared before her eyes. She murmured, “Northmoon… you bastard!”

Thump! Thump! Thump!

At this moment, a series of knocking sounds rang out overhead. Qiu Haitang raised her head and saw a familiar, smiling face above the crystal ceiling.

“Northmoon!”

Li Qingshan entered the dwelling at the bottom of the lake. It had not changed much compared to when he left. Although a few pieces of basic furniture had been laid out, it was still as spacious and bland as a prison. It was worlds apart from her extravagant, magnificent dwelling of the past.

It probably hasn’t been easy for her to stay here for so long!

Seeing Qiu Haitang again, Li Qingshan could not help himself as his heart skipped a beat. Right now, she wore a set of plain and neat clothes, which gave her a sense of unadorned beauty. Already with a snow-white complexion, her skin now seemed glowing, perhaps due to staying in the gloomy depths of the lake for too long. She sat there naturally and gracefully as she gazed over with a pair of lovely and elegant eyes. At the same time, she gave off an indescribable sense of wondrous charm.

To Qiu Haitang, he had changed quite a bit too. He had lost some of his flagrance, becoming much calmer and quieter. The way he looked at her brought her great satisfaction. However, when she recalled their intimacy in the past, it was as vivid as yesterday. Her mind began to ripple as she struggled to compose herself.

She remained unfazed on the surface, serving up some tea; she acted polite, courteous but distant. She was blaming him for cold-shouldering her for all this time.

Li Qingshan asked, “You’re close to facing the second heavenly tribulation, right?”

“Yes.” Qiu Haitang kept her talking at a bare minimum.

“Here.” Li Qingshan tossed a brocade box to her.

Qiu Haitang accepted the brocade box, opened it, and took a look. She exclaimed softly, “An Origin Spirit pill.”

Li Qingshan placed his hands into his sleeves and left as soon as he turned around, leaving behind the cup of tea, completely untouched and curling with steam.

“Wait! Are you just leaving like this?” Qiu Haitang never thought he would leave without even batting an eye, without even the slightest hesitance, which left her slightly frantic.



“What else am I supposed to do? You don’t seem like you want to talk to me.”

Li Qingshan turned around and said. If other people treated him negatively, he would not go out of his way to put up with them. Of course, if he used force, Qiu Haitang obviously would not stand a chance again him, but it was not like he was some sex fiend. There was no need for him to come here specially for something like that.

“You really are cold and heartless!” Qiu Haitang said furiously.

His disrespectful and indifferent attitude immediately infuriated her.

Li Qingshan smiled. “If the heavens had a heart, if the heavens had emotions, they too would grow old. You’re a cultivator after all. Looking at your talent, you better spend a little less time thinking about those matters of love and undergo the second heavenly tribulation sooner.”

“Go! Don’t come back!” Qiu Haitang threw the Origin Spirit pill back forcefully.

“Don’t tell me you’re blaming me for never visiting you?” Li Qingshan caught the Origin Spirit pill. With a flash, he arrived behind her and brought his arm around her waist, speaking into her ears.

“I don’t even care about that. Let me go!” Qiu Haitang snorted coldly and put up a forceful struggle.

Li Qingshan could feel her voluptuous bottom rubbing around, but when he lowered his head, all that met him was a jiggling, snow-white gully.

“Then I’ll give a simple explanation for myself. I cultivated for a while, fought against Si Qing and his cronies twice, and killed E Dan. Recently, his master has been trying to hunt me down. Have you heard of his master before? He’s some Beast King from the Mountain Manor of Myriad Beasts in the Dragon province. He’s really strong.”
