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

After Jin Fugui took his leave, Si Qing immediately took off, rushing to the Dragon province to explain himself. He did not throw down any threats at Li Qingshan either, just glancing past him indifferently and saying, “Li Qingshan, I admit I’ve underestimated you, but this won’t happen again. One day in the future, I will make you understand just how fortunate it would have been for you to die here today.”


It was filled with absolutely irreconcilable hatred, which even made Han Qiongzhi shiver on the side.

Li Qingshan laughed. “Cut the bullshit. Hurry up and pay me back!” Si Qing left furiously.

Afterwards, Gu Yanying told Li Qingshan in private that Jin Fugui would be reporting this matter to the imperial court. With how prideful the imperial clan was, they would definitely settle Si Qing’s debt for him even if they dismissed him as a prince. The punishment that Si Qing would receive would be slightly heavier too.

Li Qingshan smiled. “With the size and prosperity of the Si clan, they’re obviously not lacking the small bit of change they owe me!” It led to quite a few eye-rolls from Si Bao.

However, Gu Yanying shook her head. “But this might not necessarily be good. The imperial clan is already in enough pain from losing the Asura Field. Now that you’re adding insult to injury, they just need to say something, and you’ll be in great trouble. Bottom lines are not to be crossed!”

Li Qingshan vaguely understood what Jin Fugui was trying to say, but he was not worried. There were two sides to everything, just like how good fortune followed disaster and disaster lurked within good fortune. Surely he could not be interested in receiving benefits while still being afraid of offending anyone.

He would handle the problems as they came. The only thing he was worried about was the imperial clan directly sending a third heavenly tribulation cultivator to wipe him off the face of the world. If that happened, then there truly was nothing else he could do. He could only take off and get out of here.

He also understood what Gu Yanying was trying to say. She was warning him against becoming complacent, just in case he dug a hole for himself.

As a result, Li Qingshan said, “After eating the Fruit of Wisdom. I think I’ve comprehended quite a few more things. I plan on going back and entering secluded cultivation so that I can make a push for Golden Core.”

“If you need anything, you’re most welcome to let me know.”

Gu Yanying nodded. She also had an outstanding debt to Li Qingshan. However, now that Li Qingshan had the identity of the first disciple of the Unraging monk, there was no need for her to hide it so much. She could easily write it off as a form of investment.

Li Qingshan said, “I want to buy a few Virtue Accumulation pills, the more years the better.”





Chapter 664: Recognising Me As Me, Kicking Up a Stir Once More | Legend of the Great Sage




Virtue Accumulation pills were one of the few pills that could be mass-produced. There were a lot of pills with similar or greater efficacy than it, but many of the materials and spiritual herbs could not be planted en-masse, so either there was an extremely low yield from farming, or people were forced to collect them from lands of wilderness.

Virtue Accumulation pills were different. Every single herb that went into its production could be planted in gardens. Of course, it would take a long period of time. The older the herbs were, the greater efficacy they possessed and the better the Virtue Accumulations pills refined from them would be.

The most ordinary Virtue Accumulation pill was equivalent to a year of cultivation. Beyond that, there were three-year Virtue Accumulation pills, five-year Virtue Accumulation pills, and so on. Although absorbing the effects and removing the residue from the body would take some time, it could still drastically decrease the amount of time spent on cultivation. Although the spiritual herbs that went into its production could be farmed, they were still extremely expensive.

However, if ingesting pills led to an unstable foundation, then the time saved would be spent on the bottleneck. No matter how great the medicine was, it could only serve as a powerful supplement, unable to completely replace the cultivator’s process of cultivation. The cultivator still had to consider and bear the trade-offs themselves.

“I don’t have a lot of Virtue Accumulation pills on me. The best one I have is a five-year Virtue Accumulation pill, but it’s worth a hundred times more than regular pills.”

“I’ll take it.” Li Qingshan did not hesitate at all, buying five Virtue Accumulation pills. Three of them were regular Virtue Accumulation pills, one was a three-year pill, and one was a five-year pill.

Afterwards, he lingered around for a few more days in the commandery city. Before he left, he gave the five-year Virtue Accumulation pill to Han Qiongzhi. They spent more time apart than together, so he could only make it up to her slightly in other ways.

He could still remember how Han Qiongzhi’s expression was rather strange as she held the Virtue Accumulation pill. Her joy from obtaining a precious pill had been completely drowned out by some other emotions. It was as if she wanted to turn him down, but she still accepted it in the end.

Li Qingshan understood that perhaps he should stay here for some time, but he also knew it was time for him to set off again. He could not remain anywhere for anyone for lengthy amounts of time. All he could do was constantly advance, striving towards beyond the Nine Heavens. He did not even have the time to acknowledge his own feelings.

As a result, after a parting kiss, he left.

Li Qingshan dismissed his thoughts and made his way into the Qing Xiao dwelling. He took out the Asura Field. Ever since he stole it, he never had the opportunity to examine it closely. It basically seemed no different on the outside, just now dyed with a colour of blood-red with some additional, eye-catching and bright-red inscriptions.

He tossed it up gently, and the Asura Field expanded, reaching the size of a yurt. Li Qingshan walked in, and his surroundings changed. An expansive land unfurled before him. At the same time, he assumed his form with the scarlet hair and pupils, spreading his wings and flapping them gently. The scenery around him immediately stretched into thousands of streaks of light, receding behind him rapidly.

He stopped in front of the towering tree. The sun vines flowers were still blooming. The blooming period was not over, decorating the great banyan tree with resplendence.

Li Qingshan declared loudly to the great tree, “From today onwards, I am the owner of this place. I am Northmoon. Sir, you must be the Great Banyan Tree King of the Ten Daemon Kings!”

Right now, the most important resource in the Asura Field was the Great Banyan Tree King. Not only could he provide him with tree sap that could quickly recover spiritual qi, but he could also bequeath him with wisdom and inspiration. He could ask him about many problems he encountered with cultivation. As a result, the first thing he did when he entered the Asura Field was visit him.

“It’s you?” The Great Banyan Tree King said in surprise.

“It’s me what? You’ve seen me before?” Li Qingshan was taken aback, but he showed none of it.

“You’re Li Qingshan!”

“What are you blabbering on about? How can I be a lowly human?” Li Qingshan raised the pitch of his voice unhappily.

The Great Banyan Tree King suddenly began to chuckle aloud. His colossal body shook gently. His laughter was filled with understanding.

“It’s no wonder that I sensed the Asura Field had been refined by someone inside. So it was all you. That kid Si Qing is probably about to cough up blood from anger.”

Li Qingshan’s body slackened. “Fine then. How did you manage to tell?”

“I might have lived for over ten millennia, but I haven’t grown that senile just yet. How could I not recognise you after seeing you a mere few days ago? Compared to your appearance and aura, your microexpressions, the way you talk, and your body language stands out just as much in my eyes.”

Li Qingshan was forced to admit that sometimes, he could not fool everyone just by changing his face and surrounding himself in daemon qi. At the very least, he could not fool the Great Banyan Tree King who only grew more insightful with age.
