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

Li Qingshan turned around and caught up with Ru Xin, but unbeknownst to him, the voice expanded through the depths of Chu Tian’s sea of consciousness, kicking up a ripple in a pool of stagnant water.

Hua Ci and Ru Xin had also tried this method numerous times in the past to awaken Chu Tian, but it had never achieved anything. Li Qingshan’s soul sense was so powerful that even Golden Core cultivators paled in comparison. Ru Xin and Hua Ci’s soul senses were far inferior.

Hua Ci gazed at Chu Tian for a while longer before shaking his head. He had basically done everything he was capable of already. Although the school of Medicine had even more methods, this was all he could do with his current cultivation. He was not a stubborn old man who had to save Chu Tian no matter what. Just like how doctors could not cure death, he could only do his best.

The room dimmed down, and Hua Ci made his way to the entrance too. The milky-white lights on the two sides of the passageway gradually dimmed with his footsteps.

In the end, only the glass container of Water of Recollection remained behind, shining with a dim, blue light. Chu Tian was submerged there, without moving at all, just like before.

Of course, Hua Ci still did not know that the treatment they had persisted with for all this time was not all useless.

……

Li Qingshan arrived in Ru Xin’s alchemy room with her and took out the Jade Melting cauldron, tossing it at her. “Here!”

Ru Xin’s eyes lit up immediately. As someone skilled in alchemy, a cauldron like that was basically something she could only dream of.

“This is the Jade Melting cauldron!”

“How did you know? Oh, you must have visited the Arsenal of Arms in the commandery city too!”

Li Qingshan remembered that the Arsenal of Arms was only a store, and the Jade Melting cauldron had originally been one of their products for sale.

Ru Xin was extremely skilled in alchemy. In order to increase her efficiency, she had obviously spent plenty of time examining the various alchemy cauldrons available on the market. The Jade Melting cauldron was the best cauldron she could find, but it was far too expensive.

Although she had helped Li Qingshan refine pills and accumulated a sum of resources over the years, these renowned and precious pills could not be sold off so easily either. In particular, most of their original materials were spiritual herbs from underground, which made her even more afraid to sell them en-masse.

She fiddled around with the Jade Melting cauldron in surprise and joy. “You’re giving this to me!”

Li Qingshan said, “Of course not. I’m only taking it out to show you. I’ll be taking it back afterwards.”

“That’s fantastic!” Ru Xin ignored what he said and revealed a happy smile like a child. Just like that, Li Qingshan felt it had all been worth it. He smiled. “As long as you like it!”

Ru Xin stared at Li Qingshan. She controlled her turbulent emotions and seriously contemplated her next words.

“Filial piety… can truly even touch the heavens!”





Chapter 606: Planning and Preparing | Legend of the Great Sage




“Filial piety your mum’s head! Give it back!”

Li Qingshan cursed aloud, extending his hand to take back the Jade Melting cauldron. How dare you take advantage of me even at a time like this.

Ru Xin turned around and coughed twice, speaking with an old, hoarse voice, “My dear son, your mum’s headache feels much better with the bit of filial concern you’ve shown.”

Li Qingshan grabbed her shoulder. There was a flash of light near her shoulder, and it gave off a pliable, soft blue glow. He was unable to grab her firmly, his hand sliding off.

Ru Xin’s feet slid away, moving seven or eight steps away from him. She rebuked loudly, “You’ve given it away already, and you’re still trying to take it back! Is this what a proper man would do?”

“Whether I’m a proper man or not is not for you to decide.” Li Qingshan extended his hand. The centre of his palm glowed with light, expanding like a vortex and producing a great suction force.

Ru Xin swayed towards him. She grabbed the Jade Melting cauldron in one hand and casually swung the other backwards. A band of blue light also flew towards the centre of the swirl, and it collapsed immediately.

Li Qingshan called out, “Alright! Then watch this!”

Within the narrow space, the two of them moved about, unleashing various techniques.

Li Qingshan completely unleashed everything he had comprehended about water during the past few days. He used the water spiritual energy to conjure a myriad of things. Whether it was entanglement or powerful attacks, Ru Xin ingeniously nullified them all one by one. The bottles and jars in the room remained untouched.

Of course, this was also because Li Qingshan had not used his full strength. This was not a spar. He only wanted to see Ru Xin’s comprehension of and capabilities with water. Sure enough, Li Qingshan was not disappointed. If she assumed her Merfolk form, she would probably be even more skilled.

The two of them scrambled around the alchemy room for a while, but in the end, Li Qingshan’s reactions were still a little faster. He managed to trap her. In order to prevent her from escaping, an arm wrapped around in front of her, while the other reached towards the Jade Melting cauldron. He laughed. “I’d like to see where else you can escape to!”

Suddenly, Ru Xin called out for him to stop, which stunned Li Qingshan. He discovered that they were currently a little too intimate. With his hand around her, it was as if she was leaning against him in his embrace. Her black hair drifted about like clouds as her slender, beautiful nape seemed like it was made out of jade. All of it was inches away.

Li Qingshan wrinkled his nose and caught the heavy fragrance of medicine, together with an indescribable, faint scent.

Ru Xin asked with a smile, “Does it smell good?”

Li Qingshan released her in a hurry. She turned around with a face of mischief. At a time like this, shouldn’t it be the woman who was embarrassed? Why did he feel a little embarrassed instead?

Ru Xin used her slender fingers to tidy her black hair. “Don’t tell me you've become carried away by lust, making you second-doubt yourself now that you’ve seen someone else, wanting the new after having grown tired of the old, wanting to be faithless? You want to let down the first young miss of the Han family!”

Li Qingshan said, “Definitely not. I never second-doubt myself when I see someone else, nor do I grow tired of the old when I want the new. Although I do get a little carried away by lust, I’m not exactly faithless. In around another three years is the day of our marriage. I’ll definitely send you an invitation when that time comes around.”

The smile on Ru Xin’s face faded slightly as she gazed at Li Qingshan with her eyes that were as gentle as water. Li Qingshan felt like something had changed in there, but he was unable to grasp it.

Ru Xin asked, “Will that be fine?”

“What fine?” Li Qingshan was confused.

“Nothing. Well, you’ve given away your alchemy cauldron, you’ve taken advantage of me, so it’s also about time you left.” Ru Xin waved her hand like she was driving away sheep.

“You want to chase me away right after benefiting? And who’s taken advantage of who! I still have something else I need your assistance with.”

“What?”



“I want to deepen my comprehension of water.”

“Isn’t your comprehension much greater than mine?”

“That’s merely using brute force through my talent. In terms of actual comprehension, I’m nowhere close to you.”

After several days of consideration, Li Qingshan understood why he still lacked a comprehension of water despite reaching the fourth layer of the spirit turtle. That was because the talent that the spirit turtle had brought was far too powerful. He could control water as easily as controlling his own limbs and fingers.
