The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

The capital city?!

Li Qingshan was taken aback when he heard this.

Although he had considered going to the capital, it was definitely not now.

After all, there are many powerful people in that place, and I don't yet have the ability to protect myself.

Li Qingshan would never risk going inside.

But now, the fragments of the Nine Yang Sword are actually in the capital, which is something he should think about.

"How can you be sure that the fragment is in the capital?"

Li Qingshan asked.

Li Hao didn't hide anything and told everyone he knew.

"Because, Aoyama, the fragment you obtained actually came from the capital."

Legend has it that this was unearthed from an ancient battlefield, but no one has been able to activate its mysteries.

The sword is extremely tough, can cut through iron like mud, and is exceptionally sharp, which is why some people collect it in the hopes of finding its secrets.

Later, the Marquis also collected this item, which is why the fragments are in the treasure vault.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan was slightly taken aback.

He really hadn't expected that to be the reason.

However, upon closer examination, it's not impossible.

"Ancient battlefield?"

Li Qingshan frowned and asked in confusion:

"What kind of battlefield could produce something like this?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Hao looked at an old woman next to him and gestured for her to explain.

The old woman cupped her hands in greeting, her wrinkled face trembled slightly, and she slowly began to speak:

"In reply to Lord Li, the story of this ancient battlefield is a long one."

Legend has it that it was the place where gods fought, the mountain peaks were carved into a platform as smooth as a mirror, and the earth was cleaved into a ravine thousands of feet deep by a single sword strike.

Even the river dried up and changed course, forming a huge lake.

This place is located three thousand li northeast of the capital, sparsely populated, with a harsh environment and extremely dangerous conditions.

With the old woman's explanation, Li Qingshan more or less understood what this ancient battlefield was.

However, he did not believe that this was a scene of gods fighting, but rather that it was very likely a scene of several powerful beings at the Celestial Realm or even stronger taking action.

It's highly likely that they got really angry and wanted to kill each other, which is why such a terrifying scene occurred.

"I see. It seems I need to find an opportunity to go to that ancient battlefield. Maybe I can obtain some kind of inheritance."

Even if things don't go well, I can still sense the aura left behind by those powerful individuals and broaden my horizons.

Li Qingshan's heart stirred, and he thought to himself.

He then chatted with Li Hao for a few more minutes before waving his hand to dismiss everyone.

Now that he knew where the fragment was, he was no longer in a hurry.

Apart from him, no one else could activate the fragments of the Nine Yang Sword.

It doesn't matter if it stays in the capital; as long as I make a move, it will still end up in my hands.

However, Li Qingshan was not idle either. He ordered people to start gathering information about the capital and the ancient battlefield.

Night fell rather quickly.

It's unclear when, but the stain has permeated the entire courtyard, making the surrounding scenery appear as if covered by a black veil, obscuring everything.

Only then did Li Qingshan finish his cultivation.

He sat in the quiet room, suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, golden light flashed.

He exhaled a strong breath of stale air, which churned and lingered for a long time, as if forming a vortex in the quiet room.

Then, Li Qingshan waved his sleeve and completely annihilated the vortex.

It was as if a strong wind had swept through, blowing everything out of the quiet room.

"I've finally refined the medicinal power within my body. Now I can continue taking the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng."

With this precious herb, I can break through to the late Grandmaster stage, or even the higher Celestial Realm.

Li Qingshan couldn't help but sigh to himself.

Of course, if others found out about this, they would probably be so angry they would bleed from all seven orifices, especially Marquis Changning and Qiu Meier.

After all, the best outcome for such a precious medicine is for the strong to take it.

For someone at the True Qi Realm to consume a single ginseng root is an utter waste of precious resources, a destruction of a valuable medicine, and a sin of unimaginable proportions.

However, Li Qingshan didn't care about any of this.

"Only resources that can be transformed into one's own strength are real."

Everything else is like an illusion, completely unreal.

Upon realizing this, Li Qingshan felt a slight tremor in his mind. He then silently recited the Yellow Court Classic in his mind again, dispersing his mind to the surroundings and sensing the external scenery.

just.

What Li Qingshan didn't know was that the arrival of night didn't bring much peace, but instead brought an unexpected person.

First Madam!

Originally fleeing to avoid disaster, the First Madam, carrying large and small bags along with dozens of carriages, is now slowly heading towards the Marquis of Changning's residence.

The luxurious carriage at the very center is not only carved with numerous auspicious symbols, but also adorned with palace lanterns hanging from the eaves of the carriage.

It illuminated the surroundings brightly and emitted a faint fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

This further alerted the guards and maids around them, who began to keenly observe their surroundings.

Just then, an old woman dressed in silk hurried over to the carriage, bowed, and said...

"Madam, the Marquis's mansion is now completely under the control of the eldest young lady and Li Qingshan."

Furthermore, Li Qingshan has indeed cultivated a good relationship with Elder Zhou, and has been favored by the two seniors, Heavenly Spear and Earthly Blade, which is quite impressive.

Upon hearing this, the First Madam, who was cultivating in the carriage, suddenly opened her eyes, a hint of anger flashing within them.

Li Qingshan?!

This utterly lowly servant has actually taken control of the Marquis's mansion!

Who gave him the audacity to do something so outrageous?

Aren't you afraid that when you get back, you'll dismember it into eight pieces and chop it into minced meat to feed the dog?

But upon hearing the names of Grandmaster Zhou and the two masters, Heavenly Spear and Earthly Blade, the First Madam suppressed her anger.

There's no other reason than this!

Old Master Zhou is someone who can keep the entire city of Lin'an in check.

Without a doubt, if the other party were willing to speak up, his marquisate, which was only kept afloat by the royal princess, would be torn to shreds by the royal family in no time.

The Heavenly Spear and Earthly Blade also wielded considerable influence in the imperial court.

This made the First Madam wary.

After a long while, a sigh came from the carriage covered in gold leaf.

"Prepare gifts. After returning home, I will pay a visit to this Li Qingshan."

Upon hearing this, everyone around the carriage trembled, but lowered their heads, not daring to say anything more.

But a thought kept rising and growing in their minds.

"Li Qingshan, this servant has truly turned his life around."

Even the First Madam had to curry favor with her.

Inside the carriage adorned with fox fur and bear skin, the First Madam closed her eyes and lowered her head, a wisp of sandalwood incense burning. At that moment, a smile slowly appeared on her lips, a smile that was both ferocious and eerie.

The incense thread in front of her began to slowly swirl around her, following her breath, as if drawing a circle or enveloping her.
