The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Seeing Li Qingshan leave, the middle-aged man quickly grabbed the silver ingot on the ground, bit it hard, and was overjoyed when he saw the teeth marks.

"There's hope! There's hope! This year's tax money is secured!"

……

As Li Qingshan walked, the acupoints on his face kept throbbing.

The acupoints stimulated and filled by the Qi (vital energy) exhibit a unique state, pulsating.

In no time, Li Qingshan had completely changed his face.

Early disguise techniques could only go so far. If one wanted to further change their appearance, they would have to change their bones and skin.

But for Li Qingshan, there was no need for such trouble; he only needed to enter the capital.

After crossing a mountain pass, Li Qingshan felt a sudden opening up before him.

The original narrow path has now converged into a wide, open road. The pedestrians have clearly changed their appearance, now dressed smartly and looking radiant, which sets the tone for the entire road.

After all, this is the main road of the Great Qian Dynasty, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles who do business or come and go here.

Li Qingshan, dressed in coarse cloth, did not seem out of place, but he was not particularly outstanding.

In addition, he had changed his appearance and now looked more like an ordinary laborer who had come to the city to work.

However, Li Qingshan was currently surveying the capital city before him, which resembled a crouching behemoth.

The capital city, worthy of being called the head of the Great Qian Dynasty, has its black iron-like city walls lying prostrate on the ground like a colossal beast reaching to the sky, blotting out the sun and exuding unparalleled majesty.

With his now terrifying eyesight, Li Qingshan could see the mottled marks on the city wall, the erosion of time clearly visible.

Upon entering the capital, one is greeted by neat, crisscrossing streets lined with various shops, bustling with activity and lively atmosphere.

At a street-side tea stall, several people dressed like江湖人士 (jianghu figures, people from the martial arts world) were sitting together, drinking tea and discussing something.

Li Qingshan sat not far away, ordered a cup of tea, and listened quietly.

"Have you heard? Li Qingshan actually plunged headlong into the ancient battlefield, which is a very dangerous place."

At that moment, the other person spoke mysteriously.

"What's so special about that? Let me tell you, I also heard that Li Qingshan not only went through the ancient battlefield, but also came out and killed a grandmaster disciple."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock.

"How is this possible? That battlefield is filled with invisible Yin energy. Even a grandmaster would be bewitched if he entered it. How come Li Qingshan wasn't harmed?"

One of them asked in a low voice.

The other person glanced around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, whispered something.

"I heard it's related to the Supreme Treasure Medicine that Li Qingshan took away. Legend has it that the Supreme Treasure Medicine was left behind by the God of War. It is incredibly powerful, and whoever obtains it can even become a God of War."

Hearing this, Li Qingshan smiled helplessly.

Is it possible to become a God of War?

If that's the case, there's absolutely no way I would leave the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng in Dongxuan's hands.

Indeed, before leaving, Li Qingshan pondered for a long time before finally placing the Nine-Bend White Deer Ginseng in Dongxuan's hands.

After all, although the Great Qian imperial family was gradually declining and the entire empire was beginning to suffer from widespread poverty, it did not prevent the existence of many talented individuals within it.

If he were to encounter another Grandmaster who could track him, attracting the attention of a Celestial Realm expert, he might very well perish here.

Whoosh!

A five-tael silver ingot slowly landed on the table of the martial arts practitioners, leaving a dent.

"Who?"

The martial arts practitioners instantly became alert, their inner strength surging as they warily surveyed their surroundings.

Li Qingshan slowly sat down in the empty space between them, and an invisible pressure instantly rendered them unable to move.

The burly man leading the group had a flushed face and his throat moved slightly.

"Grandmaster!"

In just a moment, he realized that the seemingly unremarkable middle-aged man in front of him was definitely a grandmaster, and a senior grandmaster at that.

"Greetings, senior!"

The bearded man quickly pulled his brothers aside and said in a low, respectful voice.

"I want to know about Li Qingshan. Tell me."

Li Qingshan said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the burly, bearded man in the lead breathed a sigh of relief and immediately told Li Qingshan everything he knew, fearing that he might inadvertently displease him.

After a long while, Li Qingshan left after tossing down the money for the tea, leaving behind only a few burly men, drenched in sweat and looking terrified.

"So that's how it is. I never expected that the Great Qian Dynasty would make such a choice in order to force martial artists into the ancient battlefield to search for my whereabouts."

Li Qingshan said thoughtfully.

Now the entire Great Qian Dynasty knows that they have obtained a precious herb with heaven-reaching power. If they can obtain it, they can break through to the Celestial Realm and even go further to become a Martial God.

Although such rumors are laughable, there are always some fools in the martial arts world.

Did they think that after obtaining this precious medicine, they would be invincible?

Without even considering that if that were the case, how could Li Qingshan possibly keep this precious medicine in his hands without digesting it?

With a light laugh and a shake of his head, Li Qingshan slowly disappeared into the crowd, leaving behind several burly men filled with worry.

"Big...Big brother, has that person left?"

A younger brother asked cautiously.

The burly man glanced around to make sure Li Qingshan wasn't there, then breathed a sigh of relief and whispered.

"They're gone, they must be gone, but when did this powerful dragon from across the river arrive in our area?"

After swallowing hard, the burly man cautiously continued speaking.

"If only I had that man's strength, I would definitely go to that battlefield and search thoroughly. Maybe after finding Li Qingshan, I could seize that precious herb."

At this point, the group instantly revealed a mad smile, as if they could already see themselves obtaining the precious medicine, refining it, and dominating the world.

……

"How's it going? Did you find the sword tip?"

Li Qingshan had no idea what those people were thinking. At that moment, he was strolling through a sparsely populated alleyway, looking at Qianqian fluttering beside him.

"We've found the master. He's in that house not far away, but there are quite a few powerful people in the house, including four Grandmasters."

There was also an old man with a very strange aura. I couldn't quite figure him out. He seemed to be dying, yet he had a lot of energy and spirit.

Qianqian said.

After a moment's hesitation, Li Qingshan asked directly.

"If we compare him to Senior Dongxuan, how does that old guy's strength rank?"

"Then he is no match for Senior Dongxuan, far inferior. Senior Dongxuan... In front of her, I feel completely exposed."

But that old guy didn't even notice my presence.
