The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

rub!

The sword light was sharp and contained terrifying killing intent. Li Qingshan's sword seemed capable of completely cutting through the air.

However, the enchantress in front of him did not avoid him at all; instead, she greeted him with a smile, and a strange, seductive look flowed between her brows and eyes.

next moment.

The sound of metal clashing instantly echoed through the alley.

Ding!

This enigmatic and alluring demoness blocked the sword blade that Li Qingshan had conjured with just two fingers.

"My dear husband, I only wish to ascend to paradise with you, so why do you resort to deadly attacks the moment we meet? This has broken my heart~"

As she spoke, the enchantress shifted her light veil a few more times, revealing her alluring, seductive, and eerie side.

For a moment, the air was filled with a faint, sweet, fishy smell, like the stench of blood or the fragrance of flowers.

However, Li Qingshan was not swayed again.

If Qianqian hadn't whispered in his ear just now, Li Qingshan might have actually fallen for this vixen's tricks and been bewitched.

He was now full of energy, his body brimming with true qi, and there was no sign of him being disturbed at all.

"Hehehe, what an interesting young man! I didn't expect your mental resistance to be so strong. Perhaps you have the potential to become a grandmaster in the future."

As she spoke, the enchantress gave Li Qingshan another flirtatious wink and released her right hand from the sword blade.

Grandmaster?!

Li Qingshan was taken aback, and then an extremely bold idea came to his mind.

That means the demoness in front of me has likely reached the legendary Grandmaster level, or even higher...

Based on what he had seen and heard that day, Li Qingshan instantly guessed that the other party must have come for the treasures in the Marquis's mansion.

"Senior, you flatter me. I am but a servant of the Marquis of Changning's household. How could I possibly hope to reach such a high realm?"

Li Qingshan sheathed his broken sword and said with a hint of humility.

When facing someone far stronger than yourself, admitting defeat is undoubtedly a very useful tactic.

"Hehehe, my little husband, you are so funny. Our cult is missing someone as funny as you."

As she spoke, the enchantress tossed a jade pendant to Li Qingshan.

Feeling the weight on his palm, before Li Qingshan could even refuse, he saw the person in front of him turn into a blur and disappear into the distance, leaving only a faint, sweet, and fishy smell.

Then, that alluring and enchanting woman, a veritable enchantress, faded into the distance under the moonlight.

"Great, Master. I really thought that vixen was going to do something bad to you."

Qianqian patted her chest and said with a worried look on her face.

As a spirit, Qianqian was more able to sense the threat emanating from that demoness.

That's why she was able to wake Li Qingshan up immediately after noticing his abnormality.

"This is no ordinary object, but what exactly is inside, and why did that demoness entrust it to me?"

Li Qingshan was completely confused, but he didn't stop moving. With a few leaps, he left the alley and headed towards Shuiyun Pavilion.

Occasionally, a few barks could be heard, and then the alley would fall silent again.

just.

Half an incense stick later.

A burly man in blood-red armor, with a tender expression, slowly descended from the top of the wall to the ground, his face full of sorrow.

Barbarian King Anjunshan, feeling the aura around him gradually dissipate, frowned and said coldly.

"Damn it, that witch escaped again. I thought this trap would at least keep the Holy Maiden of the Purification Cult here, but I didn't expect that witch to be this cautious."

Beside him, the figures of the Ninth Prince and the Marquis of Changning gradually appeared.

"She can't go too far. We've already planted spies in this huge city of Lin'an."

The Ninth Prince fanned himself with a paper fan and spoke with an air of confidence.

As for the Marquis of Changning?

The marquis's face was extremely grim; he was absolutely unwilling to get involved in such matters.

"Alright, then I'll wait for your good news so I can go back and report it to the Prince."

……

"call!"

Back in his room, Li Qingshan took a sip of tea and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

That demoness was indeed powerful; he even thought he was going to die there.

"Is this the power of a grandmaster? I feel like he could kill me with a mere gesture, without lifting a finger."

With a sigh, Li Qingshan took out the jade pendant and carefully polished it in his hand.

The surface of the jade plaque appears smooth, but it has countless protrusions that vaguely form a huge character for "clean," yet it also resembles some kind of peculiar symbol that is difficult to decipher.

"This jade tablet should contain something, Master. I suggest you find a piece of paper and make a rubbing of it. Perhaps it contains some cultivation techniques or secrets?"

Qianqian said as she flew.

Li Qingshan did not reply, but instead turned around and took two crystal beads from the storeroom.

Crystal beads, as the name suggests, are beads made of polished crystal. They are crystal clear and unobstructed.

Many elderly dignitaries enjoy playing with it and are willing to use it to read books.

The reason is simple: this crystal bead can magnify tiny print on paper to the size of a human finger.

Therefore, Shuiyun Pavilion always keeps these little trinkets in its storeroom. Although they are not considered precious, they are still worth keeping.

By the light of the lamp, Li Qingshan began to examine the words on the jade pendant.

Half an hour later.

Li Qingshan then slowly stood up, exhaled a breath of stale air, and suppressed the shock in his heart a little.

"That senior was quite generous, actually passing on to me the cultivation method that the Pure World Sect uses to ensure its survival and well-being?!"

The "White Lotus Purification Mantra," or "Purification White Lotus Mantra," is a closely guarded secret of the Purification Sect. Even Qianqian, a sword spirit, had only heard of it and had never actually possessed it.

As Li Qingshan spoke, he copied the "Purifying the World White Lotus Mantra" that he had just memorized into the small booklet next to him.

These words are precious, covering not only the two realms of internal strength and true qi, but also the secrets of how to break through to the level of a grandmaster.

These texts are simply priceless treasures; they would be worth a fortune in any pawnshop.

Even the Marquis of Changning's mansion might not possess such profound literary skills.

Because the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra" does not cultivate internal energy or temper the body.

This method cultivates the spirit within essence, energy, and spirit, making one as pure and flawless as a white lotus, and as ethereal as a celestial maiden scattering flowers, remaining pure even amidst the turbid world.

After a long while, Li Qingshan finally stopped writing, letting the ink on the book evaporate and dry.

Qianqian, meanwhile, was flying around while simultaneously making calculations.

It seemed her little mind wanted to know whether the "Purifying White Lotus Mantra" was real or fake.
