The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

True Qi Realm?!

Li Qingshan became interested upon hearing this. With a slight thought, he revealed his friend's cultivation level to himself.

Indeed, Liu Ziming has reached the True Qi Realm. Although he has just entered it and his True Qi is extremely thin, he has truly become a powerful figure.

"Holy crap?!"

Just as Liu Ziming was about to show off, he looked at his brother Li with a look of astonishment.

Just now, he felt a force and examined himself.

This power was extremely strong, and although it only lasted for a moment, it made him feel a chill run down his spine.

"Brother Li...you...tell me the truth, are you almost ready to become a Grandmaster?!"

Liu Ziming stared at Li Qingshan in disbelief, muttering to himself.

Li Qingshan waved his hand dismissively and said:

"Come on, you've only just broken through and haven't stabilized your realm yet, so you're just having a misconception."

Besides, if I were truly to reach that level, how could I possibly be chased all over the city by cult members and have to seek refuge at our academy?

Hearing this, Liu Ziming agreed and nodded, then stopped thinking about it, though he would occasionally glance at Li Qingshan with suspicion.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two agreed to have lunch at Xiangmanlou, a restaurant near the academy entrance.

After all, although this place is considered to be outside, it is very close to the academy.

Even if something goes wrong, a strong person will step in immediately.

"See you later!"

After bidding farewell to Liu Ziming, Li Qingshan slowly headed towards the Sutra Repository.

However, his expression had now returned to normal, having changed from his earlier joy.

"Are you still going to make me leave Tiantong Academy? It seems there are indeed extraordinary people in this academy. Even if you want to kill me, you have to take me out of the academy."

It was the right thing for me not to kill Guo Qingyuan yesterday.

Li Qingshan nodded in thought, then sent a servant to Guo Qingyuan's courtyard to give him a few instructions.

Afterwards, Li Qingshan began to look through the books he hadn't finished reading some time ago, continuing to fill in the gaps in his knowledge.

Perhaps the contents of these miscellaneous books are complicated and tedious, but many truths or hidden histories are hidden in every single word.

These are the things that Li Qingshan most needs to know.

At the same time, he was multitasking, flipping through the "White Lotus Secret Manual" in his mind, searching for cultivation techniques that he might need temporarily.

And... how to counter this so-called "White Lotus Secret Manual".

……

Fragrance fills the building.

The highest-class room.

Qiu Meier lay on her side on the bench, revealing her fair thighs and her alluring figure hidden under the light gauze.

She gently stroked her brow and said with a smile:

"Hehehe, Mr. Li, I've missed you so much since we last met."

"The last White Lotus Dipping Ceremony failed to completely convert you into a holy son of my sect. This time, I must complete this ritual properly!"

Although there was no one around, one could feel several gazes scrutinizing the area.

Furthermore, there was a locking force, as if someone would take action and take Li Qingshan away as soon as he arrived.

But only Qiu Meier was in the room. The saintess's voice drifted out softly, as if carrying endless sorrow:

"Li Qingshan, you heartless husband! I only wanted to be with you forever, why did you betray my good intentions?"

……

Guo Qingyuan's villa.

"What?! You're not lying to me, this really was what Master Guo told you to tell me?!"

"The person I've been longing for day and night is really hiding in the Water Cloud Pavilion?!"

Guo Qingyuan, who was lying on his side being fed grapes, kicked away the maid next to him and stared in astonishment at the servant kneeling in front of him.

His words were tinged with a kind of madness, like some kind of fanatic who had discovered the treasure he needed most.

"In reply to Master Guo, these are the very words that Master Guo instructed his servants to say in the Sutra Repository."

The servant lowered his head even further and quickly told everything he knew.

After standing up and pacing back and forth for a moment, Guo Qingyuan asked again:

"Who else knows about this besides me?"

After thinking for a moment, the servant said:

"When I was leaving the library, Master Liu Zimo stopped me, and I told him about this."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qingyuan flew into a rage, kicked the servant in the chest, and shouted:

"Damn idiot, it's all because of you! It's all because of all that nonsense you spouted!"

He then hurriedly summoned his guards, shouting and assigning tasks as he did so:

"Get this idiot under control, and contact my father immediately; I need his help!"

Even if he's doing something incredibly important right now, he has to come back as soon as possible...

……

noon.

The sun was shining brightly, illuminating the surroundings and making people feel lazy.

Li Qingshan stretched and put the copy of "Huang Zhang Ancient Prose" back where it was originally.

Liu Ziming walked over with a smile and joked:

"It seems Brother Li has had a very fruitful day. I wonder if you found anything you were looking for in the book."

Li Qingshan smiled without saying a word, pointed outside, and asked:

"It's already this late, the restaurant is probably full. Have you made a reservation yet?"

If I haven't booked a room yet, then I'll have to try the cafeteria.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ziming quickly waved his hand, fearing that Li Qingshan wouldn't go, and directly stated his purpose:

"That won't do! I booked the top-tier private room this time, just to have a proper celebration. We can come back after we've eaten and drunk our fill, but I can't waste my deposit!"

A subtle hint of contemplation appeared on Li Qingshan's face before he followed Liu Ziming out of Tiantong Academy.

However, a sense of curiosity arose in Li Qingshan's mind at this moment.

"Just who is this old monster living in Tiantong Academy that can instill such fear in these people, making them only dare to tell me to leave the academy and not dare to make a move inside?!"

Of course, Li Qingshan did not intend to seek out the secrets at this time. After all, he had not yet reached this level, and even if he did, it would be of no use and would only add to his troubles.

After leaving the house, the two greeted the teachers and headed straight for Xiangmanlou.

During the journey, Li Qingshan saw several familiar faces who were secretly observing him from among the crowd.

It seems he is either the son of some powerful person or a lackey of some powerful person.

None of that mattered to him; his main focus now was finding the aura of the Purification Cult.

But after going around in circles, the entire Tiantong Academy was completely clean. Not only was there no trace of the White Lotus Sect, but there wasn't even a single member of the heretics.
