Legend of the Great Sage

o the discussion this time.
However, a few extra days would always be best!”

“No problem, no problem!” Ge Xing agreed happily.

The atmosphere in the Direct Disciple hall immediately became strange.
The intense dispute had instead eased up with the arrival of the person involved.
The other direct disciples studied Li Qingshan and became a little more careful.
He had actually managed to tame a phoenix into becoming his mount.
The Myriad sect would probably gain another direct disciple very soon.

Li Qingshan met Ruan Yaozhu’s eyes.
Li Qingshan had an undefeated record when it came to stare outs, but who knew what Ruan Yaozhu was thinking.
She stubbornly refused to shift her gaze.

Dai Mengfan thought, Don’t tell me she has actually let her mortal emotions overcome her? Originally, she found that absolutely impossible, but after seeing Li Qingshan for herself, she suddenly found that to be nothing strange at all.

Pi Yangqiu and Le Tian made their way over and asked eagerly, “Did you succeed?”

Li Qingshan nodded with a smile.
“Of course.”

“Really?” Pi Yangqiu was still in some disbelief.
Just how much time had passed, and he had managed to take down the Xuanming dwelling?

Li Qingshan took out a jade box and grabbed a handful of Green Jade bookmarks.
“This is for the price of the Xuanming dwelling, as well as the bookmarks that I owe you.” Then he grabbed a handful for Le Tian.
“This is yours.”

Pi Yangqiu and Le Tian gazed at the bookmarks in their hands.
Their expressions changed, and they began laughing aloud.

The direct disciples were all stunned.
It was not that they were easily impressed, but several hundred Green Jade bookmarks was already a large sum.
An exchange of several thousand Green jade bookmarks was extremely rare even among the various departments of the Myriad sect.

And this was just private dealing.
Since when did an inner disciple become even more extravagant than them?

Lin Xuan had been stuck at the peak of Human Sovereign for many years and spent a long time as the first senior brother of the Myriad sect, so regular disciples obviously came nowhere close to his status.
His cultivation had halted as well, so he basically consumed and used up nothing.
Coupled with all those years of preparation for his reincarnation, that was the reason why he had accumulated over ten thousand Green Jade bookmarks.

Li Qingshan had only managed to obtain all this after great difficulty due to his helpful allies and everything he was capable of.
Otherwise, even if Li Liehuo and Chao Tianjiao worked together to take down the Xuanming dwelling, they could not stop Ao Xuan from fleeing with everything.
They probably would not be able to breach the place anyway.

Le Tian brought his arm around Li Qingshan’s shoulder.
“Junior brother, why don’t we just call off our gamble with this?”

On the podium, Dai Mengfan shook her head.
This was probably unprecedented, an inner disciple stunning a group of direct disciples in the Direct Disciple hall and direct disciples treating an inner disciple with such closeness.
Even if news of this made it outside, probably no one would believe it.

On top of that, Le Tian always had quite a high opinion of himself.
Even when it came to the other direct disciples, he did not necessarily respect them all, or why would he have fooled all the ones seated here like monkeys? He was basically treating Li Qingshan as an equal right now.

“Forget about it!” However, Li Qingshan declined bluntly.
“Once the thirty years are over, I’ll obviously be paying you a thousand Green Jade bookmarks if I lose!”

“Heh, you sure know how to make me look bad!”

Li Qingshan shut the jade box and looked towards Ruan Yaozhu, passing the entire box towards her.

Immediately, all of the direct disciples were drawn to the jade box.
There were at least two thousand Green Jade bookmarks in there.

“This… surely not! Are Green Jade bookmarks really worthless to this kid?”

For the sake of their wagers of a few hundred Green Jade bookmarks, they had spent so many days haggling here, yet they gained nothing at all.
Instead, their wagers were in even greater danger now.

However, under Ruan Yaozhu’s blank gaze, the jade box suddenly vanished, having been stowed away in a sumeru ring.
Li Qingshan gave a stretch and laughed.
“I better hang onto it actually!”

Ruan Yaozhu snorted gently and looked away.

“But to thank the two senior brothers’ support, please choose one each!”

Li Qingshan took out the arcane treasures that Lin Xuan had collected and displayed them mid-air.

Le Tian smiled.
“I wonder just how many people are longing for these few items.”

Pi Yangqiu was tempted, but he still ended up saying, “I’ve made no real contribution.
You’ve earned all of this yourself, so you don’t have to give us any.”

“There’s no need to be so polite, senior brothers.
I always repay my debts.
Since I’ve already offered it to you, how can I rescind it?”

This was not a matter of Li Qingshan’s generosity.
Arcane treasures had always been foreign objects.
While they were precious, could they increase his chances against Qiongqi at all? In the past, when he first began cultivating, even a few taels of silver had been very important, but looking at it now, it was nothing.
As long as he continued onwards, it would all turn out the same.
If he stopped where he was, then what was the point of keeping it anyway? So he could take them with him to the grave?

That was what gave him confidence.
There were great horrors in life and in death, but as long as he stood strong, there would be great courage as well.

Since these external objects were useless to him, why couldn’t he part with them?

“Then I won’t be holding back.”

“If you lose, you can just forget about the debt.”

Pi Yangqiu and Le Tian each chose an arcane treasure.

“A gamble is a gamble.
That will not be necessary.”

A direct disciple abruptly stood up and pointed at an arcane treasure.
“Junior brother Li, t- that Nine Dragons seal, I’ll buy it! Give me a price!”

Before Li Qingshan could answer him, Le Tian smiled and said, “Junior brother, if the remaining arcane treasures are useless to you, let me auction them off! After all, they are from first senior brother’s collection.
They’re quite the memento!”

Li Qingshan said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you with this, senior brother.”

The direct disciple sat back down helplessly.
Now that the Nine Dragons seal had ended up in Le Tian’s hands, its price would probably double or triple.
