The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

A brilliant escape technique?!

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately became interested, scrutinizing Li Qingshan with keen eyes before shaking his head.

"You little rascal, you're quite the trickster. When others see me, they're either extremely respectful or ready to run away at any moment. But you're the one who comes up here and tries to fool this old man."

This young man really lacks martial ethics.

Li Qingshan also understood the other message revealed in the old man's eyes, and immediately gave a bitter smile.

He finally understood that his proud ability to deceive people was completely ineffective with this old man.

The other person was very old, so old that even seventy or eighty years old would be considered young.

It is very likely that the other party is a grandmaster, or even a higher level, who came here to retire, or to serve as a kind of guardian spirit.

"I never expected that you would see through me, senior. I didn't cultivate any secret techniques, but I am good at paying attention to others. I once obtained a secret technique called the 'Purifying White Lotus Mantra'."

As Li Qingshan spoke, he began to pay attention to the complexion of the old man in front of him.

Unfortunately, the other person's old, wrinkled face remained expressionless. Only after regaining his senses did he show a hint of understanding.

"The Pure White Lotus Mantra, ah, I remember now, it seems to be something that the holy sons and daughters of the White Lotus Pure World Sect practice. I never thought that someone like you would sneak into my Tiantong Academy."

Li Qingshan quickly explained.

"Senior, please don't misunderstand. I am not a member of the White Lotus Pure World Sect at all. I was just once subjected to the White Lotus Indoctrination. By chance, a mask grew in my head and kept reciting scriptures to me before teaching me this."

Boom!

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan felt as if the air in front of him was exploding. The next moment, an old face was less than three centimeters from his eyes.

It felt as if if I got any closer, that old face would blend into my body.

Those murky eyes were scrutinizing every inch of Li Qingshan's body.

for a long time.

The slightly foul-smelling sound reached Li Qingshan's ears, making him feel a sense of oppression and pressure at that moment.

"Kid, do you know what that phantom figure in your head is?"

Li Qingshan dared not hide anything and quickly told what he knew.

"That person claimed to be the Eternal Mother and made me the so-called Holy Son."

He also said that a great calamity would soon befall the world, and he hoped that I could enter his homeland, the Vacuum City, to help him.

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly moved several feet away from Li Qingshan, clutched his stomach, and began to laugh heartily, as if he didn't care about his image at all.

After a while, perhaps he had laughed enough, or perhaps he didn't want to laugh anymore, the old man wiped away non-existent tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes.

"This cult is as good at deceiving as ever. The Vacuum Homeland is actually a place where the Eternal Mother used to recuperate. She was killed, leaving only a remnant soul, which hides in that godforsaken place to cultivate."

And you so-called holy sons and daughters are his nourishment, and the human face in your minds is actually just his handiwork.

At this point, the old man picked up his broom again and slowly walked away into the distance.

It was as if everything that had just happened was merely a small interlude in his long life, and there was no need to take it to heart at all.

"senior?!"

Li Qingshan quickly called out to this senior.

He could sense that the senior had no ill intentions at all; everything that had just happened was merely the other party's quirky sense of humor, which he could accept.

Moreover, he wanted to know about the Eternal Mother. Since she was so disdainful, perhaps she could find a way to completely remove that illusory figure from his mind.

Perhaps I can gain more benefits in the process, and even improve my cultivation to the point of reaching the so-called Grandmaster realm.

"What's wrong? You little brat, have you changed your mind and are no longer going to teach at my Tiantong Academy?"

Are you preparing to join that cult and become their so-called holy son or daughter?

The old man turned around and glanced at Li Qingshan, saying with considerable disdain.

Li Qingshan quickly changed the subject, afraid that the other party would feel displeased and be unwilling to help him.

"No, no, how could I possibly come up with such an idea?"

Besides, I'm a man, how could I possibly become a saint?

Upon hearing this, the old man seemed to become interested, sat down on the stone lion again, and began to preach.

"Who says a man can't be a saint? You should know that the White Lotus Pure World Sect has a secret method that can generate and harmonize yin and yang."

This secret technique comes from the Eternal Mother. Do you know why she's called "Mother" even though she's a man?

The Eternal Mother is actually a man?!

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan felt his head spinning.

He had learned about these things in his previous life, but he never expected to encounter them again in this other world, and so closely at that.

This is simply incredible.

"Hehe, it seems you haven't thought about these things at all."

Let me tell you, the Eternal Mother herself follows the path of yin and yang combining and returning to oneness.

To truly break through to the realm of martial arts mastery, he needed to achieve the unity of Yin and Yang, becoming a hermaphrodite, a strange creature that was neither male nor female.

Unfortunately, he failed and was even slashed, but his path was preserved. So, do you think a man could be a saintess?

Li Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, as he had never thought about it before.

And isn't the idea of ​​a man turning into a woman a bit too bizarre and abstract?

"Alright, I have to go now. I'll chat with you some more when I have time. You're quite interesting."

An ordinary person would have collapsed upon hearing this, but I didn't expect you to delve so deeply. It seems you have a good mind; perhaps you really do have the potential to break through and reach the Celestial Realm in the future.

With that, the old man waved his hand, picked up his broom, and walked straight into the distance.

Li Qingshan, who wanted to say something more, only felt that the other party's speed was ridiculously fast. With one step, he had already covered several feet, and with another step, he had already disappeared into the distant jungle.

"Could this person be a master-level being or a legendary celestial being?"

"Forget it, I'd better hurry back to my residence. I can't get involved in this, and the other side is far too powerful. If I go in, I'll likely just become cannon fodder."

A series of thoughts raced through his mind, and with that thought, Li Qingshan strode toward his residence.

He hadn't walked far when he was stopped by two servants carrying lanterns that glowed with a slightly white light, who looked rather arrogant.

"Master Li, Miss Song requests your presence. We would be grateful if you could come with us."
