The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

A wisp of black energy slowly appeared on Qiu Meier's finger.

Faintly, Li Qingshan could see a faint white light wrapped inside the seven black orbs.

"The interaction of Yin and Yang creates balance, but why is there so little Yang energy?"

Li Qingshan said subconsciously.

A glint of light flashed in Qiu Meier's eyes, and she sat up instantly, leaving a large expanse of her snow-white skin exposed under the covers.

The black mass of energy in her hand grew larger and larger, and the yang energy within it became increasingly active, though it was at risk of being devoured by the black mass at any moment.

Li Qingshan, on the other hand, focused half of his attention on his dantian.

His own yin and yang energy clusters showed no inclination to merge into one.

Even though he was born with an extremely yang body, with an endless and nearly inexhaustible yang energy, he was still able to retain the presence of yin energy.

Just as Li Qingshan was puzzled, Qiu Meier flicked her finger slightly, and that wisp of true energy was once again drawn back into her body.

Qiu Meier said smugly:

"Do you see that, young husband? This is the Great Dao of Yin and Yang Union. Only by reaching the peak of True Qi and mastering the 'Purifying White Lotus Mantra' can one have an extremely small chance of reaching a state like mine."

After a slight hesitation, Li Qingshan gave up and told Qiu Meier about his current situation.

He was still unsure about this vixen's temperament. What if she got angry and cut him to pieces?

Seeing Li Qingshan still deep in thought, Qiu Meier smiled, a hint of disdain flashing in her captivating eyes.

"My little husband, take your time thinking about it. In a few days, I'll cherish you even more."

After saying that, Qiu Meier turned around slightly and draped the light veil over her body, reverting to her so-called "maid" appearance.

Then, Qiu Meier pushed open the door and left the room.

Only Li Qingshan stood there, feeling helpless.

"What kind of people are these? They always turn on you and deny everything. Shouldn't that be my specialty?"

Despite his helplessness, Li Qingshan quickly adjusted his thinking.

He wanted to obtain the fragments of the Nine Yang Sword as quickly as possible!

Even if it means losing some cultivation level, that's fine.

"If Qiu Meier hadn't suddenly appeared this time, I would have really lost the chance to break through to the Grandmaster level due to insufficient mental strength."

"Perhaps even without Qiu Meier, I could still acquire mental cultivation techniques, but the risks are too great!"

Li Qingshan had previously asked Qianqian about the methods for cultivating in the later stages.

However, the other party had been incomplete for too long, and their main body had been shattered into several large pieces, so she had forgotten far too much about their cultivation level.

As for finding information inside the Marquis of Changning's residence?

That was absolutely impossible. Li Qingshan clearly understood that he was just a servant, and even with the favor of these young ladies and wives, it was impossible to change that fundamental nature.

It's even less likely that he could see the real top secrets with this identity.

Even if you "accidentally" see it, it's very likely a smokescreen full of misinformation.

After a quick wash, Li Qingshan left the main room and headed towards the side room where the servants of the Marquis of Changning's residence lived.

The sky nearby was somewhat dim, but one could vaguely see the setting sun hanging in the sky, turning a small area a deep red.

As evening fell, darkness descended rapidly. By the time Li Qingshan reached the frightening side room where he lived, it was already pitch black.

It's important to understand that in this era, most ordinary people have no entertainment activities at night.

Because they have no light source, they cannot provide illumination.

Only a wealthy and powerful place like the Marquis of Changning's mansion would provide its servants with candles and lamps to handle miscellaneous tasks.

Inside the seventh room of Unit A.

As Li Hao washed the sweat off his body with cold water, he chatted and joked with the others in his room:

"The weather's been getting hotter and hotter these past few days, so I can't afford to have even the slightest bit of body odor. If the young lady's maids smell it, I'll probably get a beating..."

"Well, you can see that. Before the young lady even said anything, those maids came running over like little lambs."

"We're just lowly servants, if only we could be promoted, we'd be living the high life."

"By the way, do you guys remember Li Qingshan? He's the kid who entered the manor with Li Hao. He's now the manager and he's living happily outside the manor every day."

"Sigh, when will I be able to be like Li Qingshan, a shopkeeper who not only lives outdoors but also has his own single room!?"

"Alright, stop thinking about it. You don't even have your own place to live anyway. You might as well just squeeze into a dormitory with us guys!"

As they spoke, everyone burst into laughter, creating a unique atmosphere in the room.

Perhaps, within the Changning Marquis's residence, this was the only happiness they could find.

But the next moment, Li Hao's voice instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Li Qingshan?!"

Li Hao casually tossed the cloth aside and looked at his friend in front of him with curiosity.

The two men were originally from the same village and both had the surname Li, so they could be considered relatives.

Unfortunately, a natural disaster swept through the entire village, so he had no choice but to sell himself into servitude to the Marquis of Changning's household along with Li Qingshan, becoming their servants.

Feeling the mottled emotions before him, Li Qingshan smiled and nodded, as if to greet everyone.

Then, he led Li Hao away from the side room and walked towards a corner.

"Tch, what's with the attitude? I can be a manager someday!"

"Did you see that? The fabric of the clothes Li Qingshan is wearing isn't cheap; I heard it costs several tens of coins per foot!"

"Sigh, when will my friend become a shopkeeper and give me a hand? Then I can live a life of luxury..."

……

in the corner.

Li Hao asked with some concern:

"Qingshan, did you do something wrong and get demoted back to be a servant with us?"

"You must have made quite a bit of money as the manager. Let me tell you, this Marquis's mansion is full of intrigue and personal connections. You could spend some money to find a few stewards to put in a good word for you, or even find someone powerful to curry favor with."

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan couldn't help but smile slightly.

Manager?

I just killed one recently.

"No need. I want to ask you, is there any way for our servants to also see some of the cultivation secrets within the Marquis's mansion?"

Upon hearing this, Li Hao was struck dumb, taking several steps back in shock. He then cautiously looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention, breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly lowered his voice, leaned close to Li Qingshan's ear, and said earnestly:

"Qingshan, you absolutely mustn't do such a thing! Servants aren't qualified to learn martial arts. If you're discovered, you could be executed on the spot!"
