"Why, now, am I qualified to board your Qiu Shui?"
There was a hint of teasing in the girl's eyes as she spoke slowly.
Tang Jiusheng woke up from his shock.
He looked at the mountain guards standing on both sides of the Qiu Shui mountain trail and couldn't help getting angry, feeling very disappointed with them.
How can you stand so awkwardly? Is this how you welcome the distinguished guest Miss Li Lingshang from Qiushui? !
Tang Jiusheng gave a serious order to Qiu Shui's mountain guard.
"Stand at attention, stand straight, line up neatly, and salute!"
After saying that, he came to Li Lingshang, arched his back slightly, and said gently:
"Miss, is there anything I can tell you? These blind little bastards have disturbed your mood. It's all my fault for not disciplining them properly. Next time, you can come as you please. I promise no one will stop you!"
"Humph."
Li Lingshang snorted softly and slowly walked up the mountain.
4. My best master (k)
There are countless hilltops in Qiu Shui.
Among the mountains, each peak symbolizes a heritage.
In fact, Qiu Shui is not only famous for his sword. The three wonders of Qiu Shui, namely mountain wonder, sword wonder and music wonder, are not all of Qiu Shui, because the mountains in Qiu Shui are adjacent to each other, and the neighbors are like the wind. Qiu Shui's elixirs, talismans, Taoism and other weapons are also extraordinary.
Therefore, among Qiu Shui, there are several main peaks that are particularly important.
Mingjian Peak symbolizes the inheritance of swordsmanship, Biyun Pavilion represents the inheritance of alchemy, the Discipline Department supervises the sect's rules and regulations, and the Elders' Council where the elders discuss the sect's major affairs.
They are all located in the very center of Qiu Shui.
But in the central area of Qiu Shui, there is the most important main peak, which has no name or surname, or rather, the name of this main peak is called "Qiu Shui".
When Qiu Shui was founded, he made "Qiu Shui" the most core area. Over the long years, countless secrets were left in Qiu Shui Peak, which no one could discover.
Similarly, it is also the place where Qiu Shui entertains guests.
Pay attention, he is a distinguished guest. As for an old fellow like Ouyang Yun, Tang Jiusheng would have tricked him away to some unknown mountain valley long ago.
Li Lingshang was originally not qualified to be received into the main peak of Qiu Shui, but with Tang Jiusheng's repeated recommendations and joint discussions with the Elders' Council, this seemingly impossible regulation was passed with an overwhelming vote.
It’s nothing—she just gave too much.
Qiu Shui was originally a top-level sect with countless industries that needed to be supported. The annual consumption was an astronomical figure. But now, as soon as Li Lingshang appeared, he smeared the spirit stones on the faces of the elders of Qiu Shui. The overwhelming wealth made the entire Qiu Shui lose the motivation to continue making money. This was simply a humiliation!
So, between enduring humiliation and standing up in protest, they chose to be happy secretly.
In the main peak of Qiu Shui, Li Lingshang was arranged to sit in the VIP seat. After Tang Jiusheng slapped the elders in the face, he felt extremely happy.
He held a cup of tea dripping with spiritual energy and said:
"Miss Li Lingshang, this is Qiushui's specialty, Floating Cloud Spirit Tea. Only a dozen taels can be produced each year, and each cup is worth hundreds of spirit stones. Please try it."
Li Lingshang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and couldn't help frowning.
The girl waved her hand and called over the old man who had been her previous bodyguard.
"Do you still have the tea leaves that my father gave me? Give me some."
The old man was stunned and said, "Miss, which one do you want? It's a bit too much."
"It doesn't matter, the most expensive one will do." Li Lingshang raised his eyebrows and said lazily.
After saying that, she leaned back in her chair, her long hair hanging down, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she fell into thought.
She has a secret that no one else knows.
She kept this secret in her heart and never told anyone, not even her parents or family.
It was not that she wanted to hide it, but the secret was too absurd. Even Li Lingshang herself found it unbelievable. Even if she told it, it would only cause her parents and family to worry.
But in fact, the girl is very clear-headed and her understanding of herself has never been wrong.
That is - she was reborn.
This kind of thing is difficult to describe with common sense, and even she herself finds it absurd and ridiculous, but when scenes from her past life emerge in her mind, everything seems so real.
At first she thought it was all her imagination.
Gradually, she found that everything around her was proceeding according to the established script, exactly the same as the memories that emerged in her mind.
Li Lingshang consulted a large number of ancient books of knowledge and even used the channels of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce to search for information for himself, wanting to verify whether what was in his mind was true.
The results were all as expected without exception.
From that time on, Li Lingshang believed that she was the protagonist in the story. As the only person to be reborn, she suddenly felt that her mission was very important.
Although I am not sure what my mission is, I should just be prepared.
So, according to the memories of his previous life, Li Lingshang began to practice madly to improve his cultivation. Thanks to the channels of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce across the continent, Li Lingshang's cultivation path has been smooth sailing, especially in the way of swordsmanship.
Li Lingshang's sword intent was very peculiar. It was not like the aloofness and coldness of a traditional swordsman. Instead, it was more like the scheming and scheming of an emperor. It was a kind of sword intent that one could feel was unmatched just by looking at it from afar.
It was an imperial sword that made all the princes submit to him.
But soon, her talent for cultivation began to be noticed by her father Li Changgeng. After discovering that his daughter had such an unrivaled swordsmanship, Li Changgeng was ecstatic.
It’s not that there is a shortage of sword masters in the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce, but that a successor with sword talent has finally appeared in their Li family!
Speaking of this, we have to talk about the history of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce.
A long time ago, the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce was not even a chamber of commerce. It was founded by an ordinary cultivator named Li. It was an unremarkable and unknown small sect called the Shanhai Sword Sect.
But this monk named Li had a unique mind and was wealthy. After founding the Shanhai Sword Sect, he began his own journey of enlightenment.
How to carry forward the Sword Sect.
Sword Sect, Sword Sect, the first word must be “sword”!
This sword does not necessarily refer to the invincible great swordsman. Sometimes, a unique divine sword in the world can better highlight the sword character of the sword sect.
Therefore, this monk named Li spent all his family wealth and purchased a mine of meteorite iron, hoping to dig out the strongest material and forge the sharpest sword.
However, things went against his wishes. After half a year of hard mining, Monk Li received bad news and good news.
The bad news is that they were deceived. Not a single piece of meteorite iron was found in this meteorite mine. The dream of sword-making can be said to have failed.
But the good news is that they have dug up a vein of spiritual stones in the mine, and the spiritual stones they collected can even buy a thousand mines like this one.
This old man Li is also a strange man. After becoming rich overnight, he was not thinking about how to spend his old age in peace, but was still thinking about his magic sword.
His life goal is to carry forward his Shanhai Sword School.
So, he started buying up mines again, and all of them were abandoned mines that insiders thought were completely unprofitable and that the investment would be a waste of money.
There is no other reason, just think of it as recharging love.
Then, all kinds of gem veins, ancient caves, and blessed places for cultivation were continuously dug out from the mines in his hands, and he made a lot of money from spiritual stones.
Mr. Li was so exhausted.
He dug in hundreds of mines and his net worth increased countless times, but in the end he didn't find a single meteorite iron mine suitable for sword-making.
Bah, these profiteers selling fake mineral veins!
So, at the last moment of his life, he left his lifelong wish to his son, shouted "Forge sword, forge sword, forge sword" three times, and then passed away sadly.
And his son, Mr. Xiao Li, never let his father down, and spent his entire life trying to live up to his father's words, "sword forging."
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned again. Mr. Li developed the Qiu Shui Sword School founded by his father into the largest weapons supplier in the world at that time, but he was unable to forge a magic sword throughout his life.
So, at the last moment of his life, he left his lifelong wish to his son, shouted "Excalibur, Excalibur, Excalibur" three times, and passed away.
This time, little Li, who inherited his ancestral business, was not stubborn anymore. It seemed that their Li family was destined to have no chance of forging the magic sword. So little Li created a new track, changed the old way of playing, and realized one thing.
I can't forge a magic sword, but I can always buy one, right?
After all, at that time, the Shanhai Sword Sect was already considered a dominant business organization. Apart from having nothing to do with the word "sword sect", they had some contact with everything else.
So, relying on his strong financial resources and connections, Xiao Xiao Li spent billions of spirit stones and finally purchased the world-famous sword named Chi Xiao.
Then, Xiao Xiao Li made a sad discovery.
I have no talent for using swords.
For some unknown reason, Xiao Xiao Li, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, began to tremble all over, foam at the mouth, and lost consciousness as soon as he picked up the magic sword.
After consulting numerous famous doctors, the most famous doctor in mainland China at that time gave the answer.
It turns out that Xiao Xiao Li is allergic to the Excalibur.
At that time, Xiao Xiao Li was confused. What the hell is this disease? Are you kidding me?
But no matter what, this disease cannot be cured by medicine, so time passes slowly and little Li's life is about to come to an end.
Before he died, he called his son to his side and explained to him the goal that his ancestors had been pursuing endlessly, which was to establish a sect named after the sword and carry forward the sword school.
At the last moment of his life, Xiao Xiao Li shouted "Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal, Sword Immortal" three times, and then closed his eyes forever.
Then, the entire Li family seemed to be cursed. They were very successful in business, but once they came into contact with anything related to swords, they became extremely unlucky.
The Shanhai Sword School has been passed down from generation to generation and has a history of ten thousand years.
But when it was passed to Li Changgeng, Li Changgeng could no longer hold it.
You've been so stubborn for a thousand years. What's the point of practicing sword skills? Can't you just focus on business?
So, he changed the name of Shanhai Sword Sect to Shanhai Chamber of Commerce, and based on his ancestors' foundation, he continued to encroach on other chambers of commerce on the continent and became the overlord of the area today.
If Li Changgeng had any regrets, it was that his ancestor's last wish had not been fulfilled. Even though he had cultivated to the Mahayana realm, as soon as he picked up the sword, his mind was blank and he didn't know how to attack.
However, his beloved daughter, Li Lingshang, actually had such a talent for swordsmanship.
What do you call this? This is called the blessing of the ancestors, this is called smoke coming out of the ancestral graves!
As a result, Li Changgeng doted on his precious daughter even more. He arranged everything for her, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and cultivation. He even tailored a special name for her:
Sword Master.
Li Lingshang was also confused. Who came up with such a childish and shameful name? She wanted to kill the other person with a knife.
Unfortunately, she had no way to refuse, because her father had already built up momentum for his daughter, bragging about his daughter's talent in front of the bigwigs in the immortal cultivation world, making Li Lingshang feel very uneasy.
To sum it up generally, it means "My daughter Ling Shang has the potential to be a sword immortal!".
In order to protect his daughter's safety, Li Changgeng even dispatched dozens of elders from the Chamber of Commerce to secretly protect her, which left Li Lingshang speechless.
Even the reason she was able to come to Qiu Shui on a long journey this time was because she said that she wanted to familiarize herself with the family business and expand the external market so that she could take over the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce in the future.
Only then did Li Changgeng allow her to go out for training, but before she left, he still prepared countless life-saving treasures for her.
The value of each of those treasures is inestimable, worth tens of millions of spirit stones, so the treasures she just distributed to the Qiu Shui sect members are totally worthless to her.
Even the financial support for Qiu Shui given to Tang Jiusheng was not Li Changgeng's original intention, but the pocket money she had saved over the years.
After all, no one would provide so much funding to a strange sect for no reason.
After all, Li Lingshang is the daughter of Li Changgeng, the president of the Shanhai Chamber of Commerce. Having inherited her father's business talent, it is impossible for her to spend money for no reason.
Her purpose is simple.
That's building momentum.
In other words, it is to win people's hearts.
After all, her master in her previous life was the definite successor to the Qiu Shui sect. Investing her own pocket money in the Qiu Shui sect is like giving back to the left hand while doing so. There is no loss at all, and she can also gain a lot of praise and popularity. Why not do it?
Consider that money as a gift to Master!
When thinking of his master, a faint smile appeared on Li Lingshang's arrogant face. Although those things were only in his memory, every time he recalled them...
However, at this moment, the old man interrupted Li Lingshang's memories.
"Miss, how about this black bitter bamboo tea? This thing is the leaf of the most precious bitter bamboo. It is worth a fortune to buy one leaf."
The old man reported to her.
"It will be all right."
Li Lingshang waved her hands. It was not that she was using money to insult others, but for her, why bother spending extra time on things that could be settled with money?
