The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

In fact, Lin'an City was now on the prelude to an impending storm.

Even pedestrians on the road were in a bit more hurry at this moment, afraid that they might accidentally encounter some problems or difficulties that they could not accept.

Even the shops and vendors on the street closed early.

After all, they knew clearly what had happened around Shuiyun Pavilion before, and they were afraid that they would suffer the same disaster.

Among these pedestrians, a pale-faced person in a hurry was also quickly leaving the area.

He was not tall, and had an ordinary appearance; he was the kind of person who would blend into a crowd and be easily missed if you didn't look closely.

"Let's leave as soon as possible. It's better to go back home sooner than to lose our lives here."

"Sigh, I heard the Sirius aliens have attacked again. I never thought things would turn out like this."

"Alright, stop thinking about it so much. These are things that ordinary people like us shouldn't be involved in."

"What do you think happened at Shuiyun Pavilion yesterday? Some say it was a meteorite falling from the sky, while others say it was a powerful figure making a move."

……

The surroundings were quite noisy, and many people were even talking about it with great interest, but unfortunately, everyone was in a hurry and hardly anyone was listening.

Li Qingshan listened to the rumors briefly and learned what they were about.

Unfortunately, most of these are just guesses and fabrications. After all, how could someone who truly knew the truth of that day possibly be out on the street talking to others?

Li Qingshan tightened his clothes, carrying the miscellaneous items in his arms, and moved towards the Changning Marquis's residence.

During his journey, he also saw the ruins of Shuiyun Pavilion.

This shop held so much of his time; he never imagined it would become a ruin.

"It seems the battle that day was exceptionally arduous, and some may have even lost their lives, which is why such a terrifying scene was created. If I were in charge, it would be difficult to completely destroy this place in a short time."

Li Qingshan glanced at the ruins out of the corner of his eye, then quickly left, a slight sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret or nostalgia) lingering in his heart.

Many of the hidden guards also glanced at Li Qingshan, but Li Qingshan had already disguised himself.

It was naturally impossible for these secret guards to discover it.

soon.

Li Qingshan then left and, following Qianqian's directions, quickly headed towards the Marquis's treasury.

On his journey, he moved as if he were in an empty field, making the most of everything from the handover of personnel to the dozing off of the hidden guards.

Soon, he began to approach the Marquis's treasury, but the closer he got, the more questions filled Li Qingshan's mind.

"Strange, where are the people here? Lord Zhang, shouldn't that old eunuch be hiding around protecting the treasure vault? Why have so many of the other guards disappeared besides you? Could it be that they've turned this place into a trap?"

If Qianqian hadn't been scouting the surroundings and searching for spies, Li Qingshan would probably have thought that he had entered someone else's encirclement the moment he stepped into the Changning Marquis's residence.

After Qianqian returned once more, having once again glided around to explore the surroundings, she said with a look of delight:

"Master, I've seen clearly. There's no one around, and no powerful figures are hiding. It's very likely they've already left."

Li Qingshan nodded, and after a moment's thought, he dashed out like a cheetah, heading quickly toward the treasure vault of the Marquis of Changning's mansion.

"Let's do it! Whether it's a trap or not, let's get the broken blade first! Only then will I have a chance to fight back!"

Ultimately, for Li Qingshan to break this deadlock, he needs formidable martial prowess. However, the medicinal power of the Nine-Turn White Deer Ginseng is too strong, and he cannot digest it in a short time. Therefore, his only option now is to increase his combat strength.

Click click click!

After casually dealing with a few unavoidable sentries, Li Qingshan quickly arrived at the treasure vault's gate. The cast-iron gate now appeared even more sturdy, and the copper locks hanging on it were exceptionally conspicuous.

"Break it!"

Li Qingshan suddenly pulled out the Nine Yang Broken Sword from his arms, unleashing his physical strength and true energy to the extreme, and slashed directly at the bronze lock at the door.

Click!

A violent collision suddenly rang out on the surrounding open space, and the bronze lock, which was reinforced with special materials, was actually cut in half by a single sword strike.

Moreover, taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Qingshan directly stabbed his sword into the latch. After stirring it several times, the lock, which should have been able to withstand a peak True Qi level expert, was reduced to ruins.

The iron vault doors opened instantly.

Having been here once before and having a fairly clear understanding of its structure, Li Qingshan naturally knew where and when he was.

He leaped into the treasure vault.

"Master, it's on the left. That's my broken sword. When I get it, I'll not only be able to unleash even greater power, but I'll also be able to awaken more memories."

Qianqian fluttered around in delight, pointing to her broken sword.

At this moment, the fragments of the Nine Yang Sword were enshrined on the altar as if they were sacred.

The surrounding area is filled with top-quality treasures, some of which are lamp beads that have remained intact for thousands of years.

There were also various types of armor, spears, and swords, as well as some cultivation techniques that had been copied down.

Li Qingshan glanced around and saw several ninth-grade cultivation techniques.

"Nine Revolutions Fist Refining Technique", "Seven Star Sword Scripture", "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Technique", "Thousand-Hand Guanyin Palm Technique"...

As for the remaining cultivation techniques, there are countless of them, which have been the foundation of the Marquis's mansion for so many years.

As for the other miscellaneous things, there's no need to elaborate; the contents are as vast as the sun and moon.

Li Qingshan was deeply shocked by just one glance, and even gained a lot of knowledge.

There is one thing that is surprising, yet also makes perfect sense.

Medicinal herbs are extremely scarce, let alone any precious medicines that can increase cultivation.

Even some of the more common herbal pills in the treasure pavilion are extremely rare.

"Is this the blade? It is indeed extraordinary."

Li Qingshan stroked the fragments of the sword blade, which had been cleaned and cleaned of impurities, and couldn't help but sigh.

Then, following Qianqian's instructions, he infused the Nine Yang Sword in his arms with a large amount of true energy, allowing it to adhere to the fragment.

clack clack...

The moment the two came together, a strange tremor suddenly resounded throughout the vast treasure trove, causing the surroundings to shift.

"Master, what follows is the process of the Nine Yang Sword absorbing the essence of its surroundings and reshaping itself."

Qianqian excitedly fluttered around, quickly explaining the next steps.
