Legend of the Great Sage (Chapter 701-Chapter 833)

Goldie A’bao was taken aback before returning to his senses. He was no longer the Goldie A’bao of the past.

The path through the forest was not straight. Instead, it twisted and turned due to the terrain. If the Bone Eating tribe really came after him, they would definitely send people straight for the Fragrant Flower market and intercept them mid-way. Traveling in a straight line would be much faster than following the path.

As a merchant who had lived in the Mist province his entire life, he actually needed the reminder of someone else, so he could not help but become rather ashamed. Actually, he had yet to completely adjust to this new power and forgot that many of the dangers and obstructions in the jungle were no longer a big deal to him.

“Yes, sir!”

When he arrived at a bend, he travelled straight, leaping off the cliff. He constantly bounded off the rocks and slowed down his fall before landing gently on a tree within the forest. The branch bent, and he used the force to leap to another large tree, continuing on the way.

“You won’t get lost, right?”

“Don’t worry, sir. I definitely won’t!”

“Be careful of the snake!” Li Qingshan said casually.

Goldie A’bao was taken aback, confused by what was going on. He leapt over a few more trees, and a thick vine suddenly sprang alive. It was actually a python with a pattern extremely similar to tree vines, lunging towards him with its big, gaping mouth!

The lunge was as fast as a fired crossbow bolt. In the past, he would have lost his life then and there, but it was different now. He extended his left hand and grabbed the snake right below its head.

“Leave it to me! Don’t stop!” Li Qingshan added. He extended his tiny hand to the snake, and the python immediately began to writhe.

Goldie A’bao obliged, rousing up with even more force and spirit. As he carried the snake, he leapt between the trees.

A while later, a withered, dead snake was tossed down from a tree. Another ball of blood-red flames appeared in Li Qingshan’s hand.

“Sir A’yue, do snakes work too? The Bone Eating tribe only eats people!” Goldie A’bao was rather worried.

“How can I be compared to those barbarians?”

With his experience of undergoing nirvā?a rebirth, he possessed the comprehension from truly visiting the boundary between life and death. The life force he harvested was extremely pure. The divine powers of the phoenix could not be compared with a shaman tribe that had primitive shaman arts passed down generation to generation. He casually sent the life force into Goldie A’bao’s back.

“Thank you, sir!”

Goldie A’bao stopped worrying. He felt like he had truly struck it lucky this time. Even the complete annihilation of the merchant group was worth it, but it was not because he was heartless and cruel. It was all too common for people to die in this remote rainforest. After spending several decades as a merchant, this was not the first time he had encountered something like this. He had grown accustomed to it a long time ago. Only his personal strength was the most important.

“But that doesn’t mean there aren’t side effects!” Li Qingshan changed the topic, which made Goldie A’bao’s heart lurch. “What side effects?”

“If your life force is overly impure, it’s actually not good at all. I think you can undergo the first heavenly tribulation at most for the rest of your life. You can forget about going any higher!”

“Heavenly tribulation!”

Goldie A’bao was only fixated on the two words he had only heard about in legends. The existence of the heavenly tribulation was already an existence akin to gods. He could even look down on the Bone Eating tribe by then.



This was just like telling a penniless beggar, “Sigh, you can only be a millionaire in your life. You can forget about some billionaire tycoon.” They would only be too happy to agree to something like that!

“Please, sir, you have to let me take on these side effects. I’m willing to toil away for you as a beast of burden!” Goldie A’bao said from the bottom of his heart. He had already understood how great of a person he was latching onto. Toiling away as a beast of burden for an existence like that was definitely not a disgrace, but glory.

“Then that’ll be up to your performance. You still don’t have the right to toil away as a beast of burden for me. If you were a beauty, I’d consider riding you, but you better save it with how you’re like right now!”

“Sir, if you like beauties, there’s as many as you’d like in the Fragrant Flower market. I can guarantee your satisfaction, sir!” Goldie A’bao chuckled.

Li Qingshan glanced at his crotch and said in exasperation, “Shut up! Get going!”

The sky began to light up, and the red sun began to rise in the east. A figure leapt through the sea of trees, climbing to the top of an extremely tall tree with just a few bounds.

Goldie A’bao gazed into the distance. He discovered that a night of travelling was already equivalent to two or three normal days. He did not have to rest. He did not have to take detours. This was the benefit of strength. Actually, he still ended up taking some detours. As he travelled through the forest, Li Qingshan specially told him to detour around certain places.

Goldie A’bao had no idea what he was avoiding, but he knew that if he ran into it, death would be guaranteed. Fragrant Flower market was already in the distant view. He pointed at a rising and falling outline at the end of the sea of trees. “Look, sir! Fragrant Flower market is right beneath that hill!”

“You better take a look backwards instead!” Li Qingshan leaned on his arms and said lazily.

After a night, Li Qingshan’s scarlet hair had become much thicker, and it was no longer as soft as when he was first born. He closed his eyes gently. Nothing was more delightful than breathing the fresh morning air and sensing his strength grow.

“What’s that!?”

Goldie A’bao looked back and squinted his eyes. He finally saw it. The sea of trees in the distance moved unnaturally, heading right in his direction!

A sneer formed on Li Qingshan’s perfect baby face. “Guess!”

“The Bone Eating tribe!” Goldie A’bao leapt down from the tree and rushed towards the Fragrant Flower market desperately, running even faster than a mouse after seeing a cat. Even right now, he had yet to recover from the soul-stirring incident last night. The terrors of the Bone Eating shaman had already become firmly embedded in his heart. “Sir, please unleash my potential!”

“You’re not afraid of reducing your lifespan?”

“I’m not!” Goldie A’bao said resolutely. He could make up for lost lifespan, but if the Bone Eating tribe caught him, his entire life would be lost.

Li Qingshan smiled gently and pressed his hand against Goldie A’bao’s back. “Once you flee to the Fragrant Flower market, they’ll stop coming after you?”

“The Fragrant Flower clan has their own shamans. Although the Fragrant Flower shamans are not as ferocious as the Bone Eating shamans, the first daughter of the matriarch is a disciple of the White Lotus cult. Even the Bone Eating tribe won’t offend them!”

Goldie A’bao felt his blood boil, suddenly accelerating and fleeing even faster.

“The White Lotus cult?” Li Qingshan was taken aback. It sounded similar for some reason. Surely it was not the White Lotus cult Gu Yanying had chased out of the Green province? “What’s the name of their cult leader?”
