The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Li Qingshan ignored Wu Ziming and didn't waste any more words.

He told the other person to take good care of the shop, then put his hands behind his back and went back to his room.

Although there was a hint of disappointment on Wu Ziming's face, he still smiled more.

Learn it, learn it slowly on your own.

One day, I will be able to learn something about the shopkeeper.

By then, I will have benefited greatly, and perhaps I will even have the opportunity to become the new manager of Shuiyun Pavilion.

Inside the bright and airy room.

Li Qingshan was sitting cross-legged on the bed.

However, he did not cultivate; instead, he was carefully analyzing Tan Tongle and the others from today's events.

How could students of Tiantong Academy possibly need to learn poetry from outsiders?

The main purpose of these four people's appearance was to convey a message to him.

The message received by Tiantong Academy from the Jingshi Sect still showed them goodwill.

Li Qingshan's wise eyes were quietly looking at the jade pendant he had hung in the corner of the room.

"The Purification Sect... Can I really guarantee that I am of sound mind and that Qiu Meier did not use any psychological suggestion on me?"

Various things about Qiu Meier kept flashing before Li Qingshan's eyes.

Looking at the lifelike white lotus in his mind, and watching the true energy surging within his body.

Beyond the silent sky, various connections, like a giant net, tightly enveloped Li Qingshan.

The sounds of vendors hawking their wares continued outside the window, but a sense of contemplation lingered in Li Qingshan's mind.

"Perhaps. I can find some clues in books about Purification... Any form of religion that exists will leave behind their deeds and so-called miracles."

And all of this is their foundation, which made me realize the inherent characteristics of their cult nature, thus forming the necessary conditions for countermeasures.

A flicker of memory crossed Li Qingshan's eyes.

In his previous life, he was a top soldier, so he naturally knew a lot about cults.

That's why he immediately doubted himself and continued to be influenced by Qiu Meier's psychological suggestions.

Then.

Li Qingshan once again immersed himself in cultivation.

However, once you start cultivating, time flies by.

Li Qingshan's true energy became increasingly powerful and refined, and the white lotus in his mind became increasingly ethereal.

Meanwhile, the commotion outside the window grew louder and louder, attracting the attention of many passersby.

A little while later.

Wu Ziming's familiar footsteps then rang out outside Li Qingshan's window.

"Shopkeeper, those gentlemen have brought all the books you need."

Several carriages were loaded, and as you instructed, I have piled them all in the compartment outside your study.

Wu Ziming's excited voice, mixed with a hint of shock, rang out outside Li Qingshan's house.

In the past, they had to look up to those they could only admire, but now they even have to give gifts to their boss.

This alone made Wu Ziming extremely excited.

"good!"

Li Qingshan responded, and then an invisible stream of true energy surged around him, sweeping away his fatigue.

This was a little trick for using true qi that Li Qingshan had figured out when he first started cultivating.

This indicates that his control over his own internal energy is becoming increasingly subtle and significant.

The sounds from the surrounding streets gradually faded away.

Even the sky seemed to darken slightly at that moment.

Tan Tongle and the others, who had received guidance from Li Qingshan, were completely captivated and left Shuiyun Pavilion with great reluctance.

As they were leaving, the group was still discussing their day's gains.

"As expected of Manager Li, his knowledge of poetry is terrifying. I feel I have gained a lot from listening to him for just a short while."

"Why call me Manager Li? We should call me Master Li. Today's harvest is extraordinary; I need to go back and reflect on it carefully."

As the saying goes, "I examine myself three times a day," only in this way can I make further progress.

"Indeed, if this kind of knowledge were in an academy, it would cost countless contribution points to receive guidance from a renowned teacher. We've gained such valuable knowledge from just a few lousy books; we've really struck gold."

"To be honest, I have indeed made quite a harvest today, so once I get home, I will definitely devote myself even more to collecting books."

……

Li Qingshan ignored the group and paid no attention to their praise. He simply shared some insights from later generations regarding poetry.

How much they can grasp depends on how solid their foundation is.

Li Qingshan picked up a book titled "Chronicles of Past Cults" and sat down in the study to read it.

Half an hour later.

Li Qingshan casually tossed the book aside and continued reading the next one.

"The Records of Tianping County", "Miscellaneous Treatises on Typhoid Fever", "On the White Lotus Heretic Cult", "Miscellaneous Notes of the Carefree Hermit"...

These books all share a common thread: they document a vast cult that spanned several dynasties.

The White Lotus Pure World Teaching.

To be precise, the Pure Land School has not always been called by this name.

Its predecessor was the White Lotus Pure World Sect, a heretical sect that made its fortune through rebellions throughout history.

His presence was always seen at the end of each dynasty, but unfortunately, it was unclear whether it was due to poor food or other reasons.

This cult always fails to succeed in its rebellions, and even if it funds others to rebel, it will be purged afterward.

In a sense, this dynasty also relied on the power of the White Lotus Refining Sect.

Therefore, after the court returned to normal, it began a vigorous crackdown on the White Lotus Pure World Sect.

but.

Li Qingshan had read in more than one casual book that the White Lotus Pure World Sect's ability to rise from the ashes was terrifying.

One dynasty even carried out a horrific purge, erasing everything related to the White Lotus Pure Land sect.

However, decades later, the White Lotus Pure Land sect resurfaced and even put forward a further theory—that the world is corrupt and needs to be purified in order to reach the true home of emptiness.

After reading dozens of books and collecting a great deal of information about the Pure World Sect, Li Qingshan still frowned slightly.

"This cult has a kind of extremist characteristic, but they have not written down their mind control and martial arts realm inheritance."

It seems this cult…

Just as Li Qingshan was feeling sentimental, he picked up a book titled "Biography of the Wang Family".

This book is a privately compiled genealogy of a middle-class family in Lin'an City that has long since fallen into decline. It is poorly printed and the paper is yellowed.

It looks like a cheap, privately made item; I don't know why the Tan family acquired it.

Finally, it was sent to Li Qingshan.

However, before he had been looking for long, a look of shock flashed in Li Qingshan's eyes.

"It's this book—"

Li Qingshan became increasingly alarmed as he read on, until finally his heart pounded and his brows twitched slightly.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Qiu Meier said her breakthrough opportunity was in the Changning Marquis's residence..."

"No wonder the royal family planted their spies in the Marquis of Changning's residence..."

"It turns out that the mystery was all written in the riddle itself..."
