The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Boom!

An invisible wave of energy instantly swept over everything around, causing a faint ripple to permeate the air.

Li Qingshan, who was at the very center, felt that his five senses were being magnified to an extreme degree.

He absorbed everything, from the sounds of snakes and rats moving in the darkness to everything within three zhang in front of him.

At that moment, he inexplicably felt that the power within his body had been greatly enhanced, and he had a mysterious connection with the surrounding world, as if he had become something that resonated with something.

"Phew—it truly is a treasure. I received such help after consuming only a tiny bit."

But it's probably unrealistic for me to completely devour it in a short period of time.

Looking at the remaining Nine-Turn White Deer Ginseng in the jade box in his hand, Li Qingshan showed a solemn expression for the first time.

According to his original plan, he should have refined and digested it completely as soon as possible before returning to Tiantong Academy.

But things are not going according to his plan at all. Take the Nine-Turn White Deer Ginseng in front of him, for example. He has only refined a wisp of ginseng whiskers.

As a result, his cultivation level was greatly improved, and the power within his body was extremely abundant, which could not be fully digested in a short period of time.

If he were to actually swallow the entire Nine-Turn White Deer Ginseng now, he would probably explode and die the next moment.

"I'm a little reluctant to leave this here, but there's nowhere to hide it."

Thinking about this, Li Qingshan suddenly found himself in a dilemma.

"Wait, now that I'm already in the Marquis's residence, why not return this item to its rightful owner?"

Li Qingshan seemed to have thought of something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

Then, he exerted a slight force of his inner energy, and in an instant, he was sent flying several meters away.

Of course, this time Li Qingshan did not rush towards the exit, but instead used his true energy to move towards the entrance.

Before long, Li Qingshan, who had activated the mechanism, reappeared unnoticed in the side courtyard of the young lady's mansion.

In this side room.

The "young lady" was still unconscious, her breathing steady, and her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a light veil.

As for the surroundings, everything was the same as what Li Qingshan had done inside the secret room; there was nothing else to see.

With Qianqian's help, and after surveying the surrounding area, Li Qingshan was relieved to find that no one else knew he had entered the secret passage.

Then, as if a gentle breeze had swept by, Li Qingshan quickly headed to his left, where the Fourth Miss lived.

Along the way, many guards and maids passed by, but they did not notice the figures brushing past them in the treetops or corners above.

At this moment, Li Qingshan, whose cultivation level had surged, felt extremely happy. The Marquis's mansion, which he should have treated with great care, was like flat ground to him.

In no time, Li Qingshan arrived at the vicinity of the Fourth Miss's residence.

Upon arriving here, Li Qingshan stopped, stood under the eaves, frowned, and muttered to himself:

"Strange, why are there so many guards around the Fourth Miss in such a short time? Could these people be sent by the royal family to protect or monitor her? Or are they just members of the Purification Sect?"

Confused, Li Qingshan did not act rashly. He frowned slightly, his five senses were fully engaged.

Qianqian had already taken to the air and was observing her surroundings to prevent any hidden guards from lurking.

After a long time, Li Qingshan finally understood the identities of these people, the locations of the four hidden guards, and their blind spots.

"I see. I didn't expect the First Madam to value Ruohan so much, sending so many people to protect her."

However, I'll need to put in some effort to see Ruohan.

With a thought, Li Qingshan quickly moved to another location, leaving Qianqian behind.

The sword spirit flew through the air and arrived directly around a guard in the next moment.

The next moment, the chanting of the White Lotus Pure World Sect's scriptures resounded around the guard.

"To contemplate the Unborn Mother and see the Pure Land of Emptiness is the only true truth..."

In an instant.

Several gazes and attacks instantly swept around the guard.

Even the hidden guards turned their gazes to the bodyguard at this moment, their eyes filled with inquiry and suspicion.

"Liu Laosan, what the hell are you doing?"

"Hands up! Don't move! Don't come near us! You're not one of those cult members in disguise, are you?"

"Go and report to the First Madam. In any case, this matter must be handled with caution."

The guard, known as Liu Laosan, immediately looked down, and with a wry smile, he looked at his colleagues around him and tried to explain.

"Gentlemen, it really wasn't me who said that. I've even been looking for the person who said it, but I don't know anyone around me. Boss, you have to believe me."

……

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to him, Li Qingshan moved with remarkable agility, like a nimble cat.

He quickly searched through one blind spot after another and entered the Fourth Miss's residence.

Before he even got close, Li Qingshan heard a particularly irritating sound coming from inside the house.

"Oh dear, why hasn't Li Qingshan come to visit me yet? I haven't seen him in ages. I heard he's become a teacher at Tiantong Academy now. I wonder if he'll teach me anything after I join?"

"Forget it, this jerk only knows how to bully me every time we meet, and he never plays with me. Even if I go to Tiantong Academy, he'll probably still bully me the same way."

Xiao Ruohan, puffing out her cheeks, fiddled with the doll she had made. The doll was incredibly lifelike, and the figure on it was none other than Li Qingshan.

The next moment, a very familiar voice rang out behind Fourth Miss Xiao Ruohan.

"If I invited you here not only to give you a gift, but also to visit you specifically, wouldn't you be very happy, Miss Fourth?"

"Hey! Li Qingshan, is that you who came to visit me?!"

Xiao Ruohan was overjoyed and turned to look at Li Qingshan, her eyes lighting up with excitement.

Li Qingshan smiled and comforted the young girl a few more times.

He then sat down in a chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and began to hand the jade box in his arms to Xiao Ruohan.

That's right, Li Qingshan's plan was to hand over the Nine-Turn White Jade Ginseng to Xiao Ruohan for safekeeping.

It's much better than putting it on himself. Plus, Xiao Ruohan can also practice martial arts, so maybe this young girl can use this Nine-Turn White Jade Ginseng to further improve her cultivation.

"What is this? This jade box is quite beautiful."

Xiao Ruohan examined the jade box with some curiosity, then opened the lid. The next moment, she covered her mouth and stood there stunned, her eyes wide with astonishment.

Then, Xiao Ruohan hugged Li Qingshan tightly, her whole body trembling slightly.
