The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

"Qianqian, tell me quickly, is there any way to solve my physical problem?!"

Li Qingshan sat down directly in the treasure vault and hurriedly asked.

Fortunately, no one usually comes to the treasure vault, so Li Qingshan doesn't need to worry about others seeing him talking to himself.

"Hehe, of course it's the Nine Revolutions Return to Origin Technique left by the previous master."

As she spoke, Qianqian waved her fair fingers, leaving a symbol in the air that resembled a yin-yang jade pendant.

Upon seeing this symbol, Li Qingshan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

How come this symbol is exactly the same as the yin-yang symbol from my past life?!

Qianqian did not notice anything unusual.

She circled around Li Qingshan with a smug look on her face, finally stopping at the shelf piled with fetal essence fruits, and said crisply.

"Master, although you possess a pure yang body, as you grow older and practice martial arts, the yang energy in your body will become stronger and stronger."

If left unchecked, it could very well turn into a human furnace, but the outcome would be rather tragic—it might even burn itself to death!

After a pause, Qianqian continued, raising her proud little face.

"The Nine Revolutions Return to Origin Technique can harmonize and enhance the Yin and Yang energies within your body!"

After Qianqian finished speaking, she didn't waste any time and immediately began to explain how to cultivate the "Nine Revolutions Return to Origin Technique".

Li Qingshan was initially somewhat skeptical, but upon hearing the steps of the cultivation, he was first startled, and then began to ponder them.

Finally, he listened with complete absorption.

The faint yang energy surrounding him began to circulate in a peculiar and mysterious manner.

……

The Changning Marquis's Residence.

The young lady's residence.

"waste!"

With a look of resentment and dissatisfaction on her face, Xiao Ruoxue stretched out her exquisite white foot and kicked the servant who was lying on the bed away.

The servant who was kicked to the ground was pale and had sunken cheeks.

If it weren't for the constant heaving of his chest, others might have really thought he had been sucked to death by Xiao Ruoxue.

"Men, throw this fellow into the servants' quarters."

Upon hearing the young lady's command, Xiao Tao and several guards, who had been waiting outside, hurriedly entered.

The atmosphere in the room improved slightly after the guards carried away the barely breathing servant.

"Miss, I have found several more servants for you."

However… they are probably no match for that scoundrel Li Qingshan.

Xiao Tao dared not offend the young lady, so she quickly lowered her head and said.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruoxue, who had initially maintained some semblance of rationality, turned even more pale.

"It's all that damned Xiao Ruoqing's fault!"

Li Qingshan is the furnace for my cultivation of the Yin-Yang Great Joy Technique. Without him, how could I have broken through to the fourth level of the Yin-Yang Great Joy Technique?!

"If it weren't for the support of Tiantong Academy behind this slut, I would have drowned her in a pig cage long ago."

Now that my father is dead, various forces are stirring. If I don't have enough strength to support the Marquis's mansion, I fear I could be attacked at any moment, or even assassinated!

Hearing the sharp voices and various secrets in her ears, Xiaotao lowered her head even further.

It was true that she was the young lady's personal maid, but Xiao Tao also understood that she was at best just a slightly better servant.

There are some things I can't reply to, and I dare not listen to.

After a long while, Xiao Ruoxue's voice came again from the somewhat oppressive room.

"Xiao Tao, I must see Li Qingshan become my furnace again, no matter what!"

"Yes, Miss, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."

Xiao Tao quickly lowered her head and left the room, taking small, quick steps towards the distance.

But as she walked, she kept sighing in her heart.

"The anniversary of the Marquis's death is drawing ever closer, and the young lady's temper is becoming increasingly volatile..."

But is the cultivation method taught by that Yin-Yang Taoist really good?

……

Shuiyun Pavilion.

"Shopkeeper, I have put all the account books away for you."

Upon seeing Li Qingshan emerge from the treasure vault, Wu Ziming immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Okay, go ahead and get busy!"

Li Qingshan waved his hand and prepared to look at the account book.

Wu Ziming was slightly taken aback, then quickly closed the door and left.

He muttered to himself as he walked.

"That's strange. Why do I feel like the shopkeeper's demeanor changed after he went in and out of the treasure vault?"

"It's like... it's like those storytellers described someone as unfathomable, even more powerful than some of the butlers I've met."

Shaking his head, Wu Ziming stopped thinking about these things and gradually walked away.

inside the room.

Li Qingshan guided the circulation of Yang energy within his body while looking at the account book in front of him.

for a long time.

Li Qingshan then stood up, rubbed his slightly swollen temples, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Phew, as expected of the Nine Revolutions Return to Origin Technique cultivated by the Empress of that extremely ancient era."

This cultivation method is truly profound. In just one hour, I have already reached the mid-stage of the Inner Qi Realm.

Moreover, for me, cultivating this "Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Technique" allows me to operate unconsciously, condensing the surrounding Yang energy.

Qianqian flew alongside.

"That's the Nine Revolutions Return to Origin Technique! Back then, there were very few people in the entire dynasty who could cultivate it."

Its grade has reached the legendary Xuan-grade, priceless, Master.

A profound-grade cultivation technique?!

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and ask.

"Qianqian, I've heard of cultivation techniques ranging from one to nine ranks, but where did this 'mysterious rank' come from?"

Qianqian then raised her proud chin and began to explain the science to Li Qingshan.

"Hehe, Master, the first to ninth ranks that you know about are only for ordinary people to cultivate."

True masters practice various techniques based on Yin-Yang and the Five Elements. The "Divine Dragon Fist Manual" you showed me before was merely a physical tempering technique from ancient times; it's nothing special.

Li Qingshan nodded thoughtfully, then asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

"If it's a cultivation technique that absorbs the yang energy of others, what grade do you think it would be?"

Upon hearing this, Qianqian, who was still flying, was momentarily lost in thought.

After she came to her senses, she quickly said.

"Master, are you perhaps referring to the Yin-Yang Great Joy Technique?"

"This cultivation method allows you to seize the yin and yang energy of others to increase your own cultivation level. You must never practice it, as it is the cultivation method of the heretical sect, the Purification Sect."

Once one cultivates this practice, one will inevitably be subject to the yin and yang energies of others, and will also be criticized and attacked by the world.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

What is that?

Purification Sect?!

Could it be that the young lady who keeps absorbing other people's yang energy is a member of a cult?

The entire Changning Marquis's residence is a cult stronghold?!

What would that make me? A furnace for a cult?!
