The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

The letter was very long, but contained very little substantive information.

Besides Liu Ruyan's lengthy greetings and inquiries about the agreement with Elder Zhou, there was also the matter of the young master.

The one Liu Ruyan first mentioned, Li Qingshan, is the Prince of Zhenbei, who looks remarkably similar to him.

Some time ago, the other party disappeared without explanation, as if they had never existed.

Even the Prince of Zhenbei was baffled and sent a large number of border troops to search for his prized son.

Unfortunately, after spending half a month, they not only failed to find any clues, but also eliminated several spies in the surrounding area.

This is why the border was shaken, and even in the imperial court, many people speculated about it.

If the ruler of the Great Qian Dynasty hadn't been indifferent, some might have genuinely believed that the Prince of Zhenbei was using this as an excuse to prepare for a return to the capital and the transfer of power to another.

"So, they think the crown prince is likely here to see you?"

After listening to Li Qingshan's explanation, a look of panic flashed in Li Hao's eyes, and he quickly said...

Li Hao's current position is not due to his own hard work, but rather to Li Qingshan's support.

If Li Qingshan falls, then Li will be the first to suffer.

Therefore, among all the members of the Marquis's mansion, Li Hao was the one who least wanted Li Qingshan to fall.

"Qingshan, why don't you write a reply? Anyway, nothing major has happened in our Marquis's mansion, so those people shouldn't make things difficult for you."

Li Hao advised, his tone tinged with caution.

Li Qingshan waved his hand dismissively, casually unleashing a burst of true energy that pulverized the envelope and letter together.

"It's alright, let them be."

"During this time, you should focus on your cultivation, go and ask the young lady for some resources, and concentrate on your training to break through to the True Qi Realm as quickly as possible. I also need you to do one thing for me."

Upon hearing Li Qingshan's arrangement, Li Hao finally showed a slight smile.

After responding, he hurriedly left and began to cultivate according to Li Qingshan's requirements.

of course.

What Li Qingshan said just now was merely to comfort Li Hao.

He was also somewhat puzzled, unable to understand why the prince had disappeared, nor where the prince would appear.

"Could it be that the death of the barbarian king Anjunshan made this prince feel something was wrong, so he prepared to come to Lin'an City to see me?"

Or is this all just a scheme by the Prince of Zhenbei, using me to divert attention from the court? But how many people would be so foolish?

Li Qingshan was somewhat puzzled, after all, there was very little information, and he only knew one conclusion.

He then stopped thinking about these things. When he broke through to the Grandmaster level, many of the problems would likely be resolved, and at worst, he could still run away.

However, before Li Qingshan could even visit Madam Qi to catch up, another familiar face appeared in the courtyard.

"Old Zhou!"

Li Qingshan bowed respectfully and said.

"Li Qingshan, you've been living quite the carefree life lately."

Looking at the tea and snacks laid out beside him, Old Zhou couldn't help but smile and comment.

Of course, he wasn't angry at all.

On the contrary, he felt that Li Qingshan should be like this. If he didn't know how to enjoy himself after his cultivation improved and only cared about being a martial arts fanatic, then he would naturally not let Li Qingshan marry Liu Ruyan.

"Just a minor detail."

Li Qingshan smiled and then poured Old Zhou a cup of tea.

Old Zhou picked up his fragrant tea, took a sip, and then spoke.

"As you probably already know, the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei has disappeared. It's very likely he's come looking for you, or it could be for other reasons."

So what are your plans?

After hearing this, Li Qingshan's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he revealed his numerous plans one by one.

"First, I need to take control of the entire Changning Marquis's mansion to prepare for my breakthrough to the Grandmaster realm."

As for the rest, we can only remain unchanged and deal with whatever comes our way. Besides, I don't think that prince will come to Lin'an City to find me."

Seeing that Li Qingshan hadn't hidden anything from him, Old Zhou's expression softened a bit, and he then spoke.

"That's right, the prince didn't come to see you. As far as I know, the prince seems to have reached some kind of agreement with the Sirius clan."

There are also rumors that the prince and the holy maiden of the Sirius clan have fallen for each other. Anyway, all sorts of rumors are unreliable, except for yours.

At this point, Old Zhou let out a long sigh.

"You're in a bit of a rush. For an ordinary person, it would be considered fast to break through from the peak of True Qi to the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm by wasting twenty or thirty years."

Your most important task now is to cultivate your inner strength and strive to break through to the Grandmaster level within five years.

Then, Old Zhou recounted many of the methods he had just collected regarding breaking through to the Grandmaster level.

This benefited Li Qingshan greatly in a short time.

Li Qingshan then explained his desire to emulate the art of alchemy, to condense the energy of the cauldron, and to establish his own power.

Old Zhou did not deny this, nor did he think there was anything wrong with Li Qingshan's actions. Instead, he pondered for a moment and said...

"I can't say whether this method is good or bad, after all, everyone has their own destiny."

However, Qingshan, you must remember that power cannot be forced; you must let things take their natural course and not harm your own essence.

Li Qingshan nodded and bowed respectfully again.

Old Zhou did not stay long. After giving Li Qingshan his instructions, he left as if he had never been there.

Qianqian then walked around from the side, smiling and saying:

"Master, the First Madam has also received the message."

However, the First Madam planned to use the eldest daughter's marriage as a bargaining chip to exchange for thirty estates and some cultivation resources.

A young lady getting married?!

Li Qingshan originally planned to deal with this first wife after some time had passed.

Unexpectedly, the other party has already made the first move against the young lady. It seems I must act quickly.

"Alright, then let's get to know this Madam properly."

But what Qianqian said next made Li Qingshan's eyes light up.

"The backlash from the incomplete cultivation technique practiced by the First Madam, the 'Four Seasons Revolving Heavenly Magic,' is about to strike."

As expected, at midnight tomorrow, when yin energy increases and yang energy is not prominent, the First Madam will inevitably twist her body and shrink in size.

As arranged by the First Madam, she will be the only person in the entire mansion at that time. Everyone must go outside to keep watch and prevent outsiders from breaking in and disrupting her cultivation techniques.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan's eyes lit up.

In fact, the "Four Seasons Cycle Heavenly Magic" practiced by the First Madam was a fragment branched off from the "Royal Fundamental Law".

The advantage is that cultivation progresses very quickly, but the disadvantage is that a reversal similar to that of the Marquis can occur.

However, the Marquis can recover to normal by consuming large amounts of elixirs and taking nutritional supplements.

However, in addition to consuming a large amount of pills, the First Madam also had to endure numerous torments in order to recover from a near-death experience.
