Chapter 200 – Yu Zijian (1/2)

The voice that was like an oriole’s cry left Qian Rongzhi stunned for quite a while. She replied with a smile, “Hello!” However, she only looked at her from afar. She did not come any closer.

According to their agreement, Li Qingshan gave the pills and cultivation methods that were relevant to the Sect of Clouds and Rain to Qian Rongzhi. However, even with Qian Rongzhi’s mental fortitude, she struggled to maintain her composure.

There were nine bottles of first-rate Pills of Spring Breeze and Rain, as well as three bottles of Profound Yin pills that were specially prepared for those who practised Profound Yin true qi. The other pills, such as Pills of Passion and Pills of Calming, were not worth mentioning.

However, what attracted her attention were not those, but a book called the Method of Bewitchment. It was a technique that specialised in bewitching people, with the Method of Clouds and Rain serving as a foundation. Only people who had some status in the sect had the opportunity to practise it. Regular disciples could only learn regular charming techniques.

It was basically overkill if she obtained a method for bewitching people, with how skilled she was at controlling people already.

Li Qingshan suddenly said, “Give me two bottles of Pills of Spring Breeze and Rain.”

Qian Rongzhi gave them to him without any second thought. When Li Qingshan wanted to give her two bottles of Qi Amassing pills in exchange, she declined instead. She said enthusiastically, “I can lure other people over too…”

Li Qingshan interrupted her, “You better think of a way to distance yourself from this matter first!” The status of the two grannies in the Sect of Clouds and Rain was far greater than the likes of Zhao Liangqing. Their disappearance would lead to major movements from the sect.

And, he had to be extremely careful. When he faced two ninth layer Qi Practitioners, he only had a fifty percent chance at emerging victorious. If the tenth layer vice sect master, or the unfathomable sect master, were added into the equation, he would basically be doomed.”

Qian Rongzhi’s smile stiffened. She had thought of the same thing too. Once the Sect of Clouds and Rain looked into the tracks of the two grannies, it would be rather simple for them to find out that they had been in contact with her. She needed to handle this extremely carefully, so how could she afford to take on any further risks? Her plan seemed elaborate, but she was actually dancing on the edge.

“Thank you for your reminder. I’m still a woman at the end. When I see these petty profits, I become blinded by them and become short-sighted as a result.”

“Don’t thank me. I’ve only said that for my own sake.” Li Qingshan casually tossed the two bottles of Qi Amassing pills into her hand, before vanishing into the woods with Xiao An.

The distant mountains were layered in white snow, while the crystalline snowflakes fell into the bows of alcohol, causing it to spill.

A large hand picked up the bowl and drank all of it.

Li Qingshan smacked his lips. The flavour of alcohol had already faded, replaced by coldness. It was quite the taste.

He could not see Milliped. He must have run out of patience and returned underground.

He remembered Milliped’s invitation and shook his head and sighed, What’s so great about underground?

From all the drinks he shared with Milliped over the past few days, he already knew this was all due to the Daemon Commander’s order, and further up, the decree of the greatest Daemon King of the Green province, the Dragon King of Ink Sea.

If Milliped returned to his original form and arrived in a human city, he was basically a devastating monster. This arrangement was probably to maintain peace between humans and daemons.

Suddenly, there was a gust of wind from behind him. Li Qingshan turned his head slightly and a snowball brushed past his cheek. Turning around, all he saw was Xiao An covering her mouth, snickering.

Li Qingshan said, “Alright, alright. Don’t you regret this!” Before he had even finished talking, another snowball flew over. When he tilted his head to dodge, the snowball even changed directions, slamming against his face viciously, causing snow to splatter everywhere.

A shiny, white prayer bead inside flew back to Xiao An’s hand.

Li Qingshan wiped away the snow from his face and shot a glance at her, “I’m going to get angry!”

Xiao An stuck out her tongue and fled from the hole. She looked back and just as expected, Li Qingshan tailed behind her closely. He yelled out, “Great Snowball technique!”

The floating snowflakes all gathered in Li Qingshan’s large hand, forming an ultimate snowball that spanned several feet across. He pushed it towards Xiao An.

“Giddy up! Giddy up!” A carriage driver yelled and swung the reins, urging on the horses as they pulled the carriage through the accumulated snow. He wore the uniform for the Proud Sword manor. He was a trusted disciple of Yu Shukuang, the mellow young man who was often sent to deliver items over. His name was Yu Lian.

The carriage crossed through a forested region and arrived before a manor surrounded by snow mountains.

The carriage came to a steady stop at the entrance and Yu Lian said, “Master, we’re here.”

A bearded swordsman climbed down from the carriage. He stood with his head and chest held high with a great bearing. He was Yu Shukuang. His face was filled with joy as he wore a set of red silk robes. He arrived before the entrance, before bowing slightly and knocking on the door gently in a somewhat nervous manner, “Is great hero Niu present?”

He suddenly heard a strange sound. He pressed his head against the door and listened closely. The strange sound drew closer and closer.

Rumble.

“Oh no!” Yu Shukuang used his movement technique and rose up. A huge, white ball smashed through the vermillion entrance, brushed past the bottom of his feet and rolled down the mountain.

Yu Shukuang was shaken. If he had been hit by that, he would lose half his life. Though, that seemed like a snowball? However, he had never seen such a large, such a hard snowball before.

Li Qingshan stood in the courtyard and looked at Yu Shukuang from afar. He asked loudly, “Great hero Yu, what brings you here?”

Yu Shukuang hurried forward to bow. He looked around and was stunned. There were signs left behind by the giant snowball everywhere. A corridor had been smashed through, while quite a few firewood sheds to the east had collapsed.
