The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

The First Madam came quickly and left quickly.

When Miss Xiao Ruoxue's maids and guards arrived, only a pair of broken ruins remained.

Looking at the broken wall and courtyard, Xiao Ruoxue couldn't help but frown and give instructions.

"Tomorrow, we'll find a few quick-witted people to clean up that area."

How could the Marquis's residence be nothing but ruins? Also, investigate why this happened.

The maid beside him nodded quickly.

Xiao Ruoxue personally stepped forward and knocked on the door, her face showing joy as well as a hint of worry.

dong dong dong.

The knocking on the door in the night once again shattered the surrounding silence.

However, with Qianqian's return...

Li Qingshan understood that it was not the First Madam who had returned, but the Eldest Miss Xiao Ruoxue.

"Come in."

Before Xiao Ruoxue could knock on the door again, Li Qingshan opened it and smiled.

Ignoring everything else, Xiao Ruoxue waved her hand, signaling the servants to leave, before walking in and lying down on the side chair with a cheerful expression.

"Qingshan is so tired. The entire Marquis's mansion is now a mess, and the First Madam is coming back to fight me for control. It's quite difficult."

Xiao Ruoxue started complaining, somewhat speechless.

If there was anyone in the Marquis's mansion whom Xiao Ruoxue could trust, it was only Li Qingshan, whom she had shared life-and-death experiences with.

As for the remaining servants and slaves, no matter how gentle he appeared on the surface, he still harbored some resentment in his heart.

"Then let's focus all our energy on spiritual practice."

In this world, only individual strength is real; everything else is illusory. Don't let it completely distract you.

Li Qingshan poured himself a cup of tea, savoring its aroma as he spoke softly.

But when Xiao Ruoxue turned around, she couldn't help but roll her eyes on her stunningly beautiful face and said coquettishly.

"You make it sound nice, but not everyone in this world has such extraordinary talent as you, learning so quickly."

Even after I started practicing the Yin-Yang Great Joy Technique for the second time, I still faced significant obstacles and found it difficult to break through.

To put it bluntly, whether I have any hope of ever breaking through to the Grandmaster realm in my lifetime is still unknown.

The breakthrough to Grandmaster that the two of them kept mentioning was achieved according to the Third Method.

Therefore, this was a great torment for the world, and even for Xiao Ruoxue.

"Then why are you still vying for this marquisate? In my opinion, you have enough resources to simply go into seclusion, cultivate, and strive to become a Grandmaster. Wouldn't that be much better?"

Li Qingshan did not continue arguing about the breakthrough topic, but instead asked about other topics.

But Xiao Ruoxue sat up, a rare occurrence, stared straight at Li Qingshan, and after a long while, let out a long sigh and said.

"Qingshan, you don't understand! If I don't fight now, once the entire Marquis's mansion is completely quiet, apart from the First Madam and a few others, no one else in the entire mansion will be human anymore."

We will be used as a means of political marriage, sent out of the marquis's mansion, and married off to a distant land, where we will be at the mercy of others.

At this point, a cold glint appeared in Xiao Ruoxue's eyes, as if she absolutely could not allow herself to end up like that.

These matters really touched on Li Qingshan's blind spots.

After all, although there were many such topics in the past life, very few people were actually able to face such a situation.

But now that I've transmigrated here, in this cannibalistic world, this has become the norm.

"What are you going to do?"

Li Qingshan asked.

He could help Xiao Ruoxue to the best of his ability, but beyond that, she had to rely on herself.

But Xiao Ruoxue came closer at that moment, a sly glint in her bright eyes.

Her red lips parted slightly, and the light gauze began to slowly drape over her graceful figure, falling to the ground.

Xiao Ruoxue slowly said:

"Of course, the deeper the bond with you beforehand, the better, hehe!"

As she spoke, her fiery red lips pressed against his, instantly enveloping Li Qingshan like a trap.

Li Qingshan, on the other hand, was enjoying himself and did not resist. Instead, he gained the upper hand and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

In an instant, cries of agony rose and fell throughout the courtyard.

Li Qingshan fully utilized his strengths in cultivation and physical prowess, gaining the upper hand in this battle without gunpowder and frantically absorbing Yin energy.

Until dawn.

Li Qingshan then slowly stood up, feeling refreshed, and looked up at the sky.

There, a round sun slowly rose, illuminating the surroundings. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves of the trees.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the first time his yang energy was drained.

Back then, I had back pain, but now I feel refreshed and full of energy, and even my dantian has a lot more yin energy.

With this thought in mind, Li Qingshan focused his mind on his dantian, where the yin and yang energies were intertwined and constantly being transformed by the Nine Revolutions Returning to Origin Technique.

However, at this moment, Li Qingshan was slightly shocked, because deep within his dantian, there was a trace of liquefaction that had appeared at some point.

It is important to know that true qi is composed of gas. Although it is mysterious and profound, its gaseous nature can be felt in essence.

But at this moment, when Li Qingshan focused his thoughts into his dantian, he felt a vast sensation, like the surface of a liquid.

This is not due to compression after reaching the maximum quantity, but rather a qualitative change that occurs after reaching the maximum.

"I never expected that after one night of cultivation, I would reach the peak of true qi. I am truly blessed with good fortune."

At this moment, Li Qingshan couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Yes, the only characteristic of reaching the peak of true qi cultivation is that the true qi in the body transforms into liquid.

After becoming a Grandmaster, the true energy within one's body will be completely transformed into罡气 (罡气 is a type of internal energy that can be used to penetrate mountains and break rocks). Some powerful individuals can even condense it around their bodies to form something similar to armor.

Even more remarkably, one can combine the Qi of the Gang Qi with one's own understanding of the power to create various mysteries, similar to Master Zhou's Dharma form.

Of course, there are many types of Qi, but it would be too troublesome to go into detail about them all at this moment.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Ruoxue opened her eyes somewhat lazily, leaned against the bed, and let the blanket slip down, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.

Li Qingshan slowly opened his eyes and said joyfully.

"I've broken through! I've finally reached the peak of True Qi. Now I can start thinking about how to break through to the Grandmaster realm."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruoxue was first stunned, then looked at Li Qingshan with disbelief as if struck by lightning.

"How is this possible? Didn't you just break through to the late stage of True Qi not long ago?"

But Xiao Ruoxue was taken aback at this point, because she suddenly remembered that not long had passed since Li Qingshan began his cultivation.

It seems that this is how things should be?
