I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

After exchanging for the "Thousand Layer Wave Kick" technique, Li Qingshan had never seriously practiced it.

I've already thoroughly mastered the techniques.

After the Thousand-Layer Wave Kick condenses the Wave Martial Pattern, it can begin the second and third transformations, followed by the condensation of energy and the opening of the Qi Sea.

Li Qingshan has now essentially completed the martial arts tattoo step automatically.

It still exceeded the target.

He calmed his mind and tried to activate the Dao patterns within his body according to the instructions of the cultivation method.

Then, through the Dao patterns, the blood energy is condensed into a more powerful force, and then this transformed force is used to temper the body.

Everything went very smoothly.

Only when the Dao patterns on his body condensed their power did Li Qingshan realize with astonishment that the power condensed from those Dao patterns directly transformed into Qi.

He hadn't noticed this because he hadn't used his Dao patterns during his previous sparring with Xu Caiwei.

"Is this vast ocean really that powerful?"

After his initial surprise, Li Qingshan quickly calmed himself down and continued to use the newly condensed true energy to temper all parts of his body.

It's probably because there are too many Dao patterns in his body.

As soon as he transformed, the amount of true energy he condensed instantly covered his entire body.

One time.

Li Qingshan had completely exhausted the abundant blood energy he had accumulated, but his body's tempering progress had directly reached one-tenth of its original level.

Compared to strength.

The method of tempering the body with true qi is still too efficient.

It's just that it consumes a lot of energy.

Li Qingshan quickly took out several pills and put them in his mouth.

As he refined the essence, he glanced at Xu Caiwei out of the corner of his eye.

A close relationship is one thing, but a close relationship is another.

There are many things he doesn't want anyone other than himself to know.

Fortunately, Hsu Tsai-wei was completely dejected and paid no attention to his situation.

...

The consumption has been fully restored.

It was already close to evening.

Li Qingshan was in a good mood.

Based on the tempering speed he just experienced, as long as he has sufficient resources, he should be able to complete the next two transformations in about half a month, and then step into the Qi Sea Realm overnight.

Then, it will be a completely different scene.

Thinking about this...

Li Qingshan flashed to Xu Caiwei, who was still in a daze, and asked, "Senior Sister, didn't you say you had to rush to a mission?"

Hsu Tsai-wei looked up dejectedly, about to speak, but then noticed something was wrong.

She stood up, circled Li Qingshan, and frowned, saying, "Strange, I could sense the fluctuations of your blood energy before, but now you seem just like an ordinary person..."

Li Qingshan smiled without saying a word.

This is due to the inner world.

He was able to lock in all the blood and energy in his body before.

Now, with the addition of ocean-themed patterns all over his body, this ability has been upgraded again.

Before the abyss churns, no one knows how much power lies hidden beneath the calm surface, in that pitch-black darkness.

(Unfathomable, dark and bottomless, it can be called an abyss)

...

Looking at Li Qingshan's smiling face, Xu Caiwei really wanted to kick him.

This guy likes to keep everything to himself, yet he found out everything about her.

This sense of distance made Hsu Tsai-wei, who was somewhat immersed in the role, feel uncomfortable.

She regained consciousness.

The two are more like two forked lines that intersect by fate; they have common ground, but no future together.

The Qi Sea Realm is most likely her limit.

Li Qingshan's path of martial arts has just begun, yet it has already shown some extraordinary qualities, and he may even have already grasped a certain martial arts principle.

Talent is a chasm even more hopeless than being in a different place.

The distance between the two is destined to grow further and further apart.

Hsu Tsai-wei gave a self-deprecating laugh.

It was just a fleeting affair.

A mutually agreeable release of energy.

Later, they noticed something different about Li Qingshan and invested in him ahead of time.

The reason people get so into the role is simply because when Li Qingshan is busy, he is skilled in his craft, has a sweet tongue, and even looks at dogs with deep affection, making it easy for people to believe it's real.

Now I'm done with my work.

That bastard revealed his true nature.

Thinking about this...

Xu Caiwei spat at Li Qingshan: "You scumbag, talk if you want!"

Little did Li Qingshan know that while he was simply smiling and remaining silent, this woman had already imagined a whole tragic love story.

Seeing that the other party was acting like a little girl.

He rolled his eyes and followed, without any intention of coaxing anyone.

Why are warm-hearted men listed after dogs?

the reason is simple.

It is only when something is unattainable that it becomes unforgettable.

Once they get what they want, they'll become arrogant and overbearing.

Now that he's all dressed, he naturally won't be spoiled.

...

Li Qingshan needs to replenish his cultivation resources.

Instead of going to the closer royal capital mission point, the two chose to return to their base camp.

The port city of Cornish is more than a thousand miles away from the main camp.

For ordinary people, it is a very long journey.

For these two non-human beings, it was just a few hours' walk.

Late at night, the two returned to a campsite located at the foot of the snow-capped mountain.

It doesn't matter how much time it takes.

Under Xu Caiwei's guidance, Li Qingshan went to a nearby black market and sold off the two extra low-level spatial rings and a bunch of unwanted loot.

After clearing out all this mess,

He possessed over three thousand magic stones, making him incredibly wealthy.

Next comes the procurement.

Two gluttonous pigs, over twenty bottles of various pills, a marksmanship technique, some relatively simple fist and foot techniques, a dozen or so high-quality javelins, and an alchemical mask that can resist mental energy scanning...

Some shopping.

The total cost was less than 500 magic stones.

It barely covered the bottom of Li Qingshan's spatial ring, which had a volume of 108 cubic meters.

"The purchasing power of these magic stones is really impressive..."

Looking at the mountain of gold and magic stones in the space, Li Qingshan finally had a sense of his own wealth.

I'm afraid most people at the Qi Sea Realm can't compare to him after years of accumulation.

...

the other side.

Through her network of contacts, Hsu Tsai-wei also found a very cost-effective task.

Temporary accommodation.

After reviewing the mission, Li Qingshan frowned slightly: "This escort mission, can it directly make up for the three months' worth of guaranteed pay we're missing?"

The task looks pretty simple.

It involves taking an airship to the front lines, receiving several Qi Sea Realm disciples and bringing them back to the main camp, and then personally watching them return to Guixu.

That completes the task.

too easy.

Even though he spent magic stones and used his connections to snag the mission, Li Qingshan still felt there was a trap involved.

Hsu Tsai-wei didn't take it seriously:

"Relax."

Although such escort missions are rare, they have become quite common in recent years.

The targets they were escorting were all unlucky souls who had just emerged from the secret realm.

The secret realm we're currently exploring is riddled with curses.

For safety reasons.

Only after leaving the secret realm will those inside the gate allow them to return to the Void, utilizing the boundary between the two realms to prevent any potential curses from escaping.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan nodded.

The curse is contagious.

That makes sense.

But what is a realm?

...

Li Qingshan asked questions when he didn't understand.

As it turned out, even Hsu Tsai-wei herself didn't know.

She only remembered it because an elder mentioned it casually.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan didn't ask any more questions.

Everything needed for the mission has been arranged at the front lines.

They can just take the airship there.

The airship is 100 meters long.

More than two hundred alchemical figures accompanied them on the mission.

Looking down at the busy little figures.

Xu Caiwei chuckled:

"These kinds of tasks are in high demand."

Once the person being escorted out of the secret realm, they will lie in a specially made coffin.

Once we arrive, all we need to do is connect the coffin to the airship and then transport it to the Mirror Flower Water Moon Passage, which is guarded by elders.

Even if they're unlucky and something goes wrong along the way, these alchemical little men will be the first to die...

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan asked curiously, "What exactly is this curse? Even the sect leader and the others can't break it?"

His angel investor, Wang Xiao, died from a curse.

Calculated by time.

The other party must have entered the secret realm that Xu Caiwei mentioned, and that's when they got the curse.

Li Qingshan knew nothing about the curse.

The only thing he remembered was the indescribable stench of decay he smelled the last time he saw Wang Xiao...

Upon hearing this, Xu Caiwei's mood somber:

"It may or may not."

The sect leader only deals with things that interest him; we rarely see him otherwise.

As for those elders at the Meridian Opening Realm..."

She gave a cold laugh, picked up her drink, and lost all interest in talking.

Li Qingshan then remembered that Senior Sister Xu's parents had died while exploring the secret realm...

...

The next few days.

Xu Caiwei's mood was not very high. She often stared blankly at the scenery below and completely relaxed her cultivation.

Li Qingshan successfully completed his second transformation, and incidentally mastered the martial arts and spear techniques he had purchased.

Day .

The airship left the area of ​​influence of the Iron Legs Sect.

We still have one day to reach the receiving point.

After Senior Sister Xu reached the Qi Sea Realm, she became less ambitious.

For safety reasons.

Li Qingshan had no choice but to stop his cultivation to prevent any accidents from happening.

They only managed to walk half a day's journey.

The airship's alarm went off.

Li Qingshan leaped several times and arrived at the observation platform, which was dozens of meters high. He squinted at the clouds in front of him.

Ahead, in the clouds, a dozen or so dilapidated small airships loomed, blocking out most of the sky and forcing the larger airship they were on to stop.

A small figure stepped forward: "Sir, it seems to be an air pirate."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan became interested.

I've heard of bandits and pirates, but I never imagined there were air pirates.

interesting.
