Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 201-Chapter 300)

“What’re you being all emotional for? I’m doing it all for myself. Haven’t you heard them? I’m using you, you idiot!” Li Qingshan rubbed Xiao An’s little head.

Xiao An wiped away her tears and took out a pill glistening with golden light from her hundred treasures pouch, passing it to Li Qingshan. This was a buddhist spiritual medicine that the One Thought master had given to Xiao An. It might not have been on par with the Virtue Accumulation pill, but it was not far from it.

Li Qingshan smiled bitterly. “I’m just saying. You’d better keep it for yourself!”

Xiao An insisted, as if she would cry if he turned her down.

Li Qingshan rubbed his nose, with no other choice but to accept it. He felt strange inside. He tossed these thoughts aside. “Come, I’ll show you a nice place.”

In the depths of the courtyard, in the corridor on the lake.

The rocking chair swayed gently as Li Qingshan held her in his arms. He sniffed her faint fragrance of sandalwood, gently caressed her silk-like hair, and looked at the lake.

She had her eyes closed, like she was asleep.

“I’m doing it all for myself.” He was not lying when he said that. What existed in his mind were not just noble thoughts of taking care of her and protecting her. With her by his side, he finally would not have to be lonely anymore.

PS: Writing in peace, asking for monthly tickets in peace.





Chapter 295: Seeing Hao Pingyang Again | Legend of the Great Sage




A flying shuttle shot across the surface of the Lake of Dragons and Snakes, arriving on Cloudwisp island.

Out of the three people who disembarked, the leader was a burly man with a full beard, and there was a young man with darker skin to his left, and a young man with a long face and slightly swollen eyelids to his right.

They wore deep, blue robes, and their waist tablets were all inscribed with a single word, “Mohism.” They were the trio who had entered the Zombie cave with Li Qingshan in the past to kill the Zombie Daoist, Hao Qingyang, Zhang Lanqing, and He Yishi.

Hao Pingyang stowed the flying shuttle away and studied the island that was so quiet that it seemed deserted. He asked with furrowed brows, “Are you sure he joined the school of Novels?”

Zhang Lanqing said, “It can’t be wrong. It’s here. He has already made a name for himself in the academy.”

He Yishi said, “He has made a name for himself for being an idiot. He’s actually bold enough to insult the leader of the school of Daoism. He must be tired of living.”

Hao Pingyang shot a glare at him, while Zhang Lanqing said in a hurry, “Yishi, how can you say that? Qingshan saved us in the past after all!”

He Yishi said with his swollen eyelids, “He was just using us to complete his mission. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have ventured underground, and Jin Yuan and Jin Bao would not have died either.”

“Then why are you here? Why don’t you piss off instead?” Hao Pingyang growled. Ever since he had returned from the Zombie cave, he found He Yishi to be quite a despicable person, so he began to alienate him. This time, it was all because of Zhang Lanqing’s persuasions, reminiscing the fact that the three of them had once risked their lives together. As such, they had called him to come with them.

He Yishi turned his head away and no longer said anything, but he stuck to what he said.

Hao Pingyang snorted coldly and strode away. Zhang Lanqing sighed and followed behind him.

He Yishi moved his feet too. He did not come here to thank Li Qingshan for saving his life. Instead, he had come to see Li Qingshan’s miserable condition. The school of Novels? What a joke.

“Qingshan! Qingshan!”

The familiar roars penetrated the bamboo forest with true qi, reaching Li Qingshan’s ears.

Li Qingshan emerged from the courtyard. Hao Pingyang happened to be walking through the bamboo, so when he saw Li Qingshan, his face lit up with joy. He rushed over and patted Li Qingshan’s shoulder heavily and said happily, “You really are here.”

Li Qingshan said, “Brother Hao, long time no see! There’s brother Zhang and brother Yi too.”

“Hmm? The sixth layer? Just how did you cultivate? It hasn’t even been a year!” Hao Pingyang’s current cultivation was the same as the past, still at the sixth layer. The later four meridians of the eight extraordinary meridians were extremely difficult and slow to open. When he heard Li Qingshan had joined the school of Novels on Cloudwisp island, he had rushed over to find him, but he did not know he had already reached the sixth layer.

Zhang Lanqing was surprised too. He was also the same as before, still at the fifth layer. He was currently preparing to condense his sea of qi and break through to the sixth layer. Li Qingshan’s cultivation speed was just far too startling.

However, the most surprised was He Yishi. After returning from the Zombie cave, he made a breakthrough with his cultivation and reached the fifth layer. When he came to see Li Qingshan, he was filled with confidence too, ready to savour his dejected look from above and find some peace inside. However, he never thought that the weak second layer Qi Practitioner of the past would break through four times and reach the sixth layer in under a year. He felt more and more uneasy instead.

Hao Pingyang shifted his gaze and saw Xiao An standing quietly under the eases of the building. He had quite a deep impression of this beautiful child. “Isn’t that… Xiao An?” His eyes were not lying to him, right? How had Xiao An reached the sixth layer too?

Zhang Lanqing said, “Senior brother, were you really that busy building cannons in the workshop that you haven’t even heard of this? Xiao An is a Heavenly Meridians prodigy. She cultivated to the third layer in four hours, and when her elemental affinity was being tested, the school leaders even showed up to contend for her… Though, she’s at the sixth layer now. Is the rumor wrong?”

Li Qingshan gave a short explanation of what had happened. Hao Pingyang and Zhang Lanqing had no idea on what to say. She had completed the first layer of the Guardian King’s Scripture of Demon Subdual in a single night, defeating the primary disciple of the school of Buddhism, Mind Enlightenment. If it were not for the fact that Li Qingshan was personally telling them this, they never would have believed it. They studied Xiao An in surprise and doubt, and sure enough, they saw the tablet of the school of Buddhism’s primary disciple on her waist.

Hao Pingyang grinned. “I feel like I’ve gotten to know someone extraordinary. Are we supposed to bow?” When regular disciples saw primary disciples, they all had to bow out of respect and call them senior brother or sister, not to mention the fact that she came from a major school, the school of Buddhism.

In Zhang Lanqing’s memory, the primary disciple of the school of Buddhism, the Mind Enlightenment monk, was an extremely haughty figure. He was unable to connect the primary disciple of the school of Buddhism to Xiao An right in front of him.



Li Qingshan said, “That’s a funny joke, brother Hao. Don’t just stand here. Come on in!”

Arriving in the guest room, the three of them sat down, and Xiao An went off automatically to find a tea set, bringing tea over. The three of them stood up in a hurry again and accepted it. This was tea from the primary disciple of the school of Buddhism. Hao Pingyang was not too perturbed with how he never focused on the minor details of courtesy, but Zhang Lanqing and He Yishi basically felt flattered. They looked at Li Qingshan again, but they saw how he was at ease. After serving the tea, Xiao An sat down beside him obediently, just like in the past.
