Legend of the Great Saint Chapter 127

Chapter 127

February 19, 2018

As the Qi Condensation pill entered his body, half of its medicinal power was directly converted into Demonic Qi by his Demon Core. The remaining half of it was then processed by the Purification Ring. What was finally left behind for him was not even a tenth of its prowess. This was equivalent to him consuming 10 pills just to match others eating one pill and was why he could consume so many pills so rapidly.

If regular Qi Condensation Pract.i.tioners were willing to, they could also consume one pill every 3 days, even eating up to one a day. However, the medicinal powers inside would be greatly wasted and be unable to be converted to True Qi in the body, which would eventually harm the body if left within it for a long period of time.

Li Qing Shan was not being wasteful, and neither was he afraid of there being any harm. He suddenly thought to himself, was he being too selfish with his Demon Core?

In the beginning, Refining Qi was too difficult, thus he had to suppress his Demon Core to allow his Qi refinement to speed up. However, now that there were so many Qi Condensing Pills, he could consider changing his mindset on cultivation.

His foundation ultimately relied on his Demonic path, and were based heavily on the 3 types of abilities. After knowing that the “Nine Oxen and Two Tiger Strength” was not the real technique that the Green Bull was planning on teaching him, he automatically distinguished his prowess in the “Great Ox Demon Fist” and “Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist” for his cultivation.

This was the path that the Green Bull laid out for him, one that would lead beyond the Nine Heavens. If he fully focussed all his heart on Qi Refining matters, wouldn’t he be giving up on his long term goals for short term gains? His reason for returning to the civilisation was after all to acquire resources that could not be found in the wild.

Now, with the resource in his hands, which was the Condensing Qi Pills, it was time to return back to his original track of thought.

Once he clarified his thoughts on this matter, his heart trembled and he immediately grabbed Little An and left during the night. In the midst of the trees, he flew like the birds as he exited the radius of the Eagle Wolf Guard area. He came to the other side of the mountain peak, which was unseen by Jia Ping City and had cliffs a hundred Zhang in height. All that could be seen below was the rumbling churning clear river waters.

When he first came to Jia Ping City, he saw that this cliff blocked the river flow. The currents in here were turbulent and over the span of a long time, it dug out a deep cave underneath the cave which was suitable for training.

Li Qing Shan jumped off the cliff and entered the clear river water, causing splashes of several Zhang in height. The surrounding black water swallowed his body, while a small ripple appeared beside him as Little An jumped down beside him.

He swam in the water for a while before finally finding a water cave in extreme depths of the river. Pitch dark and akin to a large beast opening its mouth, the cave did not scare him, instead, it surprised him greatly, causing him to dive down deeper to the very depths of the cave.

He took a deep breath, released his Demonic energy and revealed his original appearance.

Crimson red eyes, skin as dark as steel, fangs as sharp as knives were all displaying their characteristics in the depths of the water.

In a sense, this was the real Li Qing Shan.

With his two Zhang(3.3 metres equivalent) and two feet tall body, the river water was forcibly split but yet did not stir any subcurrents. The water flowed around the sides of his body and had a sticky texture to it. The depths of the water made it great for hiding and concealing Demonic Qi. He was merely controlling the surrounding currents, working on enhancing this effect as much as he could.

Little An then took up a silent posture at a side, ensuring that Li Qing Shan would be able to cultivate in greater safety.

Although the Demonic Qi was overwhelmingly advantageous, but that strand of pure and extreme True Qi was akin to a stream in the midst of the surging Yellow River. Although weak and small, it would never cease, and neither would it be consumed and converted by the Demonic Qi.

Li Qing Shan waved his hand, causing the water to split to two sides. He then conjured up all the Qi Condensation Pills he had and after a thought, left behind 10 pills for his daily cultivation.

Then he grabbed the remaining 60 over pills and threw them all inside his big mouth which he swallowed.

Not cultivating the “Xian Tian Qi Refining Technique”, but the “Great Ox Demon Fist”.

Under the deep dark water, his crimson hair Coreced, stomping his hooves, rearing his horns, flexing his skin. Each and every one of his actions were clearly practises that he was familiar with. This was the Technique that started off his cultivation path, and everything was clearly extremely familiar to him.

As the Qi Condensation Pills entered his body, they were like tens of mines exploding in the water. The surging Demonic Qi that was akin to the Yellow River began to circulate at over ten times its original aped, screaming and shouting as if it were going to rip his body to shreds.

Although Qi Condensation Pills were the most peaceful and suitable pills for cultivation, consuming so many at once would be destructive for most ordinary Qi Refining Pract.i.tioners. However, at this moment, he was not a Qi Refining Pract.i.tioner, but a demon, a demon with a Demonic Core.

“SUPPRESS!” Li Qing Shan shouted in a low voice, akin to an explosion in the bottom of the water body.

With the Demonic Core’s suppression, there was a vague holographic image of a Spiritual Turtle that appeared around the Core. It raised its head and let out a noiseless roar as its 4 pillar-like limbs stepped on the rampaging Demonic Qi.

The Demonic Qi that almost lost control instantaneously calmed down and the demonic Qi became much easier to control. At Li Qing Shan’s guidance, the flow of Demonic Qi was integrated to every part of his body.

With the medicinal powers being converted by the “Spiritual Turtle Suppresses the Seas Scripture” into Demonic Qi, which was in turn being converted to much stronger power by the “Great Ox Demon Fist”. His heart was in a state of joy. Yes. This was where he foundations truly lay at.

He did not stop his movements as his body made noises akin to the sounds of steel bars being ripped apart. His steel like muscles were as if they were being blown up with air, expanding and intersecting while sounding off a series of “peng peng” noises.

His body grew bigger bit by bit!

Two Zhang three feet! Two Zhang four feet! Two Zhang five feet!

In a moment, his size expanded by three feet, a strong force grew in his body. As he swung his fist casually, the water was compressed and seemed like a cannonball as it blasted out a hole in the muddy flooring at the bottom of the water.

Although he was not able to cultivate to the second level of the “Great Ox Demon Fist”, but his strength had a visible increase. Obviously, the “Great Ox Demon Fist” lived up to its name, where the two Oxen worth of strength was not that of normal Oxen, but rather the strength of two Demon Oxen.

As his body changed, his heart slowly changed, losing some of the cautiousness of his humanity while gaining the rampaging confidence of a demon.

With such strength, who could kill him! Even if he met Zhuo Zhi Bo, he could win him in a match, let alone a Zhao Liang Qing. Why not take advantage of the night to return to the pavilion to kill him and grab more medicinal pills to cultivate with!

Li Qing Shan then circulated the “Spiritual Turtle Suppresses the Seas Scripture” before turning back to his human form, regaining composure after his rampage. However, the thought lingered on in his head as he seriously considered the pros and cons from his actions.

His greatest concern was being exposed for being a demon. However, he was also aware of the difference between the 6th Level of Qi Refining and the 5th Level of Qi Refining. As for his demonic form, it was at least equal to that of a 6th Level Qi Refiner or even 7th Level Qi Refiner in terms of strength. As long as he grasped the opportunity, he could even possibly kill him in a single blow without getting anyone’s attention.

AS long as he cleaned up well, it could even let others think that this person fled to escape. Although he might be suspected at the end of matters but his surface level strength was clearly that of a 1st Level Qi Refiner. Who could imagine him killing a 5th Level Qi Refiner?

The more he thought about it, the more he thought it was worth a bet. If he had such secret cards that he never used, it would be such a waste. Also, if those that saw his secrets died, then his secret cards would remain secret cards!

Li Qing Shan revealed to Little An of his plans, to which Little An would naturally not reject. Afterwards, the two of them began to discuss in the depths of the water how they would a.s.sa.s.sinate a 5th Level Qi Refining Pract.i.tioner, Zhao Liang Qing.

This was both to remove an enemy as well as to obtain more resources, such that Qing Shan could cultivate the “Great Demon Ox Fist” to the second level earlier.

Li Qing Shan swam out of the cave and followed the clear river water downwards to go to Jia Ping City. From an empty corner, he sneaked up ash.o.r.e, without a single drop of water on him as he sneaked into the dark alleys quickly.

Sneaking though the the maze-like alleys, the 7 floor tall building gave him the most obvious navigation reference point.

The moonlight that night was bright, and he walked amongst the shadows and darkness, concealing all of his presence, whether it was his Demonic Qi or his True Qi. He was like a tiger walking in the forest, letting out no sound under his feet.

When he walked pa.s.s a fellow pedestrian, that man did not even notice his existence. He only felt a gust of wind by his side and in this humid summer night, it brought a close s.h.i.+ver to his bones. The man sneezed, unable to distinguish that it was the smell of murderous intent.

Li Qing Shan stood at the alley behind the pavilion. Outside the two Zhang tall wall was the pavilions rear courtyard, where the guards were patrolling the vicinity. Unlike a brothel, the place seemed more like a castle.

This naturally did not stop Li Qing Shan. The so-called martial artists were no longer within his sights as he flipped over the high wall and hid in a dense garden within the courtyard. Raising his head slightly, his nose slowly sucked in a large volume of air, collecting various information from the smells in the air.

He did not have a clear memory of Zhao Liang Qing’s smell, but as for the scent of Fu Rong, he had a very clear impression. That was a special sort of seductive incense.

In order to strengthen his sense of smell, he released a strand of Demonic Qi. As the black colour covered his entire body, his hair grew crimson and his forehead grew two horns. His body increased in size and became a black iron tower like muscle man.

However, before waiting for even greater changes, he found who he wanted. Not eager to revert back to his human form, he headed to the pavilion. Tonight’s bad business in the pavilion brought him loads of benefits. (He chased them all away and now he’s going for the big boss. Talk about bad customers)

However, he quickly realised that the scent of Fu Rong did not come from above but rather below. He went down the bas.e.m.e.nt to discover hundreds of vats of wine, but no sight of Fu Rong. Her smell indicated she was even further below. The pavilion hid a deeper court underneath this bas.e.m.e.nt, which explained why the kidnapped girls were not found when the investigation took place earlier that day.

At last, it was under Little An’s keen inspection that they found a vat of wine stuck to the floor which was the mechanism to open the door. However, Qing Shan was aware that this was not a matter of being detailed and focussed but rather having a strong understanding of the infrastructure which allowed him to grasp the critical points in the building.

Turning the vats, the wall revealed a door to a pa.s.sage. As the two entered, the wall closed behind them. In front of them lied an eerie staircase that led downwards which Qing Shan walked down unhesitatingly.

Moaning noises overlapped as two bodies vigorously collided. Zhao Liang Qing angrily exclaimed : “I must kill him!” Fu Rong could only randomly and confusedly respond.

The two of them were not using the Heart Suppressing Pill to dual cultivate but rather were using this primitive method to vent the anger in their hearts.

Zhao Liang Qing released a large gush, before looking away from Fu Rong in disgust. If not for the need to cultivate daily, he would never be willing to engage in such “happy times” with this woman. He ordered: “Bring over those girls!”

T/n: Apologies for the late release! But there will be a fight scene coming up next chapter soon! Hope you all look forward to it! Happy dog year ahead everyone!
