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

“Regret it?” Li Qingshan stopped and suddenly looked back. He actually detected a hint of a threat, which was rather unbelievable to him. A mere Qi Practitioner was threatening him?

The cultivator in grey trembled and stumbled back a few steps. “What are you thinking? Deals may fall through, but that shouldn’t affect our relationship!”

“We won’t regret it. If you want calligraphy, you better look elsewhere. Stop following us.” Han Qiongzhi pulled Li Qingshan along and returned to the main street.

“You’ve changed quite a bit. They all say a leopard can’t change its spots, but it looks like it’s not accurate!” Li Qingshan smiled. In his memory, Han Qiongzhi was a young lady with a fiery temper.

Han Qiongzhi rolled her eyes. “We’re in the marquis’ estate right now, so we can’t fight here. I’m a White Wolf guard after all. I’m responsible for maintaining order.”

“I’m not that petty, where I’ll resort to violent means if someone has offended me by a tiny bit.”

Li Qingshan smiled before glancing back at the alleyway. He held Han Qiongzhi’s hand and merged into the flow of people.



On the Soaring Clouds terrace, Li Qingshan teased Si Qing a few more times as Northmoon. He could feel Si Qing’s killing intent grow heavier and heavier. He no longer dared to continue, just in case they actually ended up falling out, which would be the last thing he wanted. As a result, he casually said, “I’m tired!”

Si Qing’s face lit up as if he had just received a signal. “Caretaker Zheng, please take A’yue to his residence to rest!”

Northmoon grabbed Si Qing by the sleeve. “C’mon, we’ll keep drinking in the residence, A’qing!”

“I still have to receive the fellow cultivators, so maybe some other day!” Si Qing’s face stiffened and waved his hands in a hurry to decline.

“Fine then. I’ll be going first!” Northmoon waved his hand. He arrived in a magnificent palace under caretaker Zheng’s lead, with fancy eaves and corners as well as carved beams and painted rafters. It was like the palace of an immortal.

“Welcome, sir Northmoon!”

A group of women knelt down gracefully at the entrance to the palace. They were all dressed in the same style of dress that dragged along the ground. All of them were beautiful, varying in appearance and figures. They were all rare beauties, and their bearings were exceptional. They definitely were not some common women.

“Who’re they?”

Northmoon could see that every single one of them practised qi. Their cultivation was nothing special, roughly around the second or third layer of Qi Practitioner, but they could still be regarded as cultivators after all. The woman in the lead had even opened her sea of qi and reached the sixth layer.

“There’ll all palace attendents for serving you. This good fortune in love is truly envious.” caretaker Zheng smiled in a way that all men understood.

“They’re also cultivators, so of all the things they could do, why did they choose to do this?” Northmoon was rather confused. A cultivation at the first or second layer of Qi Practitioner could run around freely in the world of mortals, so why did they become attendants?

“None of them originally possessed the talent to cultivate. They had been chosen when they were young and were bestowed pills, which is why they’re barely able to practise qi now. Actually, they’re all just slaves. They were sold to the marquis’ estate. They’re not actual cultivators.”

“I see!”

Northmoon nodded. Jiang Fu sure knew how to burn money for him to do something as tasteless as that. Nobles truly lived off the fat of the land!

He took this as a lesson. If Jiang Fu spent a little less attention on sensual pleasures, perhaps he would not have been squatted to death by a single smack from the Dark Queen. Now, it all fell into that grandsonny Si Qing’s lap before being offered to his grandfather Northmoon as gifts.





Chapter 629: Assassination | Legend of the Great Sage




Even if mortal women were born beautiful, they would possess many flaws if they could not cultivate, and their beauty would rapidly fade away with age. The cultivation methods that these women practised had been specially prepared by the marquis’ estate. It only focused on retaining their beauty, elevating their beauty and charm, as well as some techniques for serving men.

However, this was not like what Li Qingshan thought, just for fulfilling momentary lust. Instead, it was also for creating descendants. The children between cultivators would basically all possess the talent to cultivate. As such, larger aristocratic clans would all make these preparations to preserve the bloodline of their clan. The concubines that the Han family had arranged Han Tieyi to take on were mostly women like this.

And, for the women, this was an opportunity to change their fate and become cultivators. Even if they would be cultivators of the lowest level, they would still possess healthier bodies, longer life spans, and more beautiful appearances than mortals. They would be able to enjoy a lavish lifestyle that mortals could not imagine, and once they produced a talented child, the rest of their life would basically be guaranteed.

Caretaker Zheng took Northmoon on a tour through the palace first. The decorations in the palace were extremely beautiful. It had all the facilities a person could ever need. It even had a special cellar that stored several hundred jars of fine alcohol.

Then they arrived behind the palace, only to see white steam permeating the air. It was an open-air hot spring. The sides of the pool were made from softer, white jade, while the surrounding walls depicted images of enchanting women. These women were all scantily dressed, graceful and casting out gentle glances. Within the steam, they seemed like a dream, like they were alive. This was obviously the handiwork of the school of Painting. The female attendants all arrived by the pool, making the dream into a reality.

Caretaker Zheng smiled. “Fellow Northmoon, these are all his highness’ kind intentions, so please enjoy yourself. I’ll be taking my leave first.”

Northmoon smiled, taking off all of his clothes and leaping into the pool, immediately crossing his legs and entering a meditative state. He made the women look at one another, at a loss as for what to do.

Si Qing heard caretaker Zheng’s report and slammed his table heavily before letting out a long sigh. “Sure enough, this wretched daemon can’t be swayed by fine alcohol and fine women considering how quickly he’s risen up.”

“Little strokes fell great oaks. Constant effort brings success. There’s no rush.” Jia Zhen swung his feather fan.

“There’s no rush? I think he was clearly using his clone today to mess with me. Am I supposed to continue putting up with him?”

“But this doesn’t mean he’s not showing goodwill and probing us. As time goes on, he’ll end up lowering his guard sooner or later. Our priority right now is still to refine the Asura Field.”

“Yes. As long as we refine the Asura Field and find the location of his original body, I’d like to see if he can still escape from the palm of our hands!” Si Qing opened his fingers before clenching his hand violently.

Actually, Si Qing had overestimated what Northmoon, or in other words, what Li Qingshan was thinking. He was not the kind of hopeless romantic who would only cling to one good thing in life. Most of the time, he would just eat if there was to eat and drink if there was to drink. He would not hold back. Normally, he would kindly accept all of these “gifts”, but Han Qiongzhi was beside him right now. If he were to use his clone to fool around even now, even he would not be able to forgive himself.
