Chapter 10: Great River Sword Qi
[You observed the stele carefully and activated your maxed-level comprehension skill. You have now comprehended Body Repairing Technique!]
Li Qingshan closed his eyes and cultivated slowly. He realized that the Body Repairing Technique was different from other techniques.
It was a technique that could repair injuries. When cultivated to the peak, the injured person could be treated in the span of a breath. It could also supply endless combat strength.
Comprehending this in the morning really satisfied Li Qingshan.
Looking all over the Stele Forest, Li Qingshan did not continue wiping and comprehending.
Nowadays, he was content with comprehending one technique per day. He spent the rest of the time studying and cultivating.
Receiving too much was not beneficial because he had no time to cultivate it.
For example, he returned to the bamboo hut after he comprehended the Body Repairing Technique today. Then he brewed a kettle of tea amidst the flowers. Looking at the steam scatter with the clouds, he felt at ease.
"After cultivating the Trikaya Buddhist Scriptures, my abilities have reached the peak of the Grandmaster Plane. I am one step away from entering the Ascension Plane.
"But this step requires an epiphany, like the sudden warmth after a rainstorm that breaks through the coldness of winter to welcome the breath of spring.
"This can't be accomplished just by cultivating hard. I must advance slowly."
Li Qingshan pondered while drinking tea.
It was about accumulation. He was adding more every minute and second. The forest-like root bones were growing every second of the day, so Li Qingshan did not lack in this aspect.
What he lacked was an opportunity to break into the Ascension Plane.
While Li Qingshan was pondering, his mind suddenly twitched. His Grandmaster Domain sensed that someone had come to Repentance Cliff.
He looked closely. It was Little Nine whom Li Qingshan cared for.
"Brother, Brother..." Little Nine ran over happily.
"How come you're here?" Li Qingshan asked curiously. It had only been a month.
"Brother, I have already entered the Grandmaster Plane, so I can come to visit you every month now," Little Nine said happily. Joy was written all over her beautiful face.
"You entered the Grandmaster Plane that quickly?" Li Qingshan immediately checked Little Nine's cultivation. She had really entered the Grandmaster Plane and had her own Grandmaster Domain, though it was a bit small.
"It's all thanks to your technique," Little Nine whispered, leaning into Li Qingshan's ear.
It dawned on Li Qingshan. The effect of the Immortality Method had improved Little Nine's root bone, increasing her cultivation speed exponentially.
"Sit down. Drink some tea," Li Qingshan said with a smile. He made tea with the boiled water and handed a cup to Little Nine.
Little Nine looked around, taking in the beautiful scenery with singing birds, fragrant flowers, and a bubbling creek. "This is my first time noticing your living environment," she said with surprise. "It is like a hidden paradise."
Li Qingshan lifted his teacup and took a sip, saying, "You must be calm and composed no matter where you are. Anyway, it can't get worse."
"But this place is so clean. It must be difficult to keep clean, right?" Little Nine asked.
"It's not difficult. It is quite easy," Li Qingshan said earnestly.
The five ghosts would get busy with the housework with one order from him, so it was not difficult for him at all.
"Brother, you won't be lonely anymore. Master already agreed to let me visit you once a month. I brought you clothes to change into this time. I also brought many books to help relieve your boredom." Little Nine pulled many books out of a storage bag.
There were all sorts of books.
"I got these from the Library. They're all copies, so you can keep them," Little Nine said while taking the books out. "You can read some books while you are bored."
Li Qingshan helped her. Little Nine had brought hundreds of books this time. She put a lot of thought into helping Li Qingshan with his boredom.
After putting down the books, Little Nine lifted her teacup and drank it in one swift gulp. Then she sat in the chair and looked calmly at Li Qingshan. "Brother, no one would guess that you're imprisoned here after committing an offense just by looking at you."
Li Qingshan arched an eyebrow. Even though he was imprisoned on Repentance Cliff, his days were quite fulfilling.
"Brother, go change into the clothes I brought. Your clothes are all faded from washing and don't match your temperament." Little Nine picked up some clothes and stuffed them into Li Qingshan's arms.
Li Qingshan chuckled wryly and shook his head. Unable to resist her, he went into the bamboo hut to change.
Meanwhile, Little Nine sat in her chair and stretched. The soft breeze blew past her. Little Nine supported her head comfortably with her hand and mused, "This place is great indeed."
She continued dreamily, "Everything would be perfect if Brother could cultivate again."
Her brother was the top genius in her eyes. If he did not cultivate, it would be a waste of his talent.
"But even though he can't cultivate, no one will dare mistreat him if I keep improving and become someone important in the Yuhua Sect." Little Nine cheered herself up. She had to work hard in cultivation for her brother.
At that moment, Li Qingshan walked out after changing into a white robe. His long, black hair was tied behind his back. His skin was creamy, and his eyes were spirited and bright. He was indeed a jade-like gentleman.
"Brother, you are still like a spiritual figure," Little Nine praised him in pleasant surprise.
"All right, stop flattering me. Drink your tea." Li Qingshan waved his hand.
"I am not flattering you. As expected, I can't let you wear those faded clothes. From now on, I will bring new clothes whenever I visit. Please believe in my taste. You will definitely look good in them," Little Nine promised, patting her chest.
Li Qingshan looked at Little Nine affectionately. This was the type of conversation they had. It was not very important, but it was the most comforting type.
Li Qingshan was thrilled whenever Little Nine visited. After playing with her on Repentance Cliff for a long time, he finally saw her off.
After Little Nine left, Li Qingshan returned to his solitary state.
He flipped through the books that Little Nine had brought.
Li Qingshan saw a cultivator's biography. It was written by an elder of the Yuhua Sect, and the records were detailed.
Li Qingshan read it carefully. He was an expert swordsman.
He had only lived for a few short decades, but he had fought all over the world and had been extremely spectacular.
He had fought with the demonic sects, monster clans, and the people of the Saibei Wilderness. He had truly upended the world.
He was a disciple of the Yuhua Sect.
He had been from the generation before Li Qingshan and was also known as a genius who could break through the shackles of the world.
However, in the end, he "voluntarily" became imprisoned on Repentance Cliff and ended his life.
Li Qingshan read in the book's records that this genius of the Yuhua Sect had fallen in love and married a woman from the monster clan. He had enraged the top righteous sect, the Heavenly Path Sect.
The Heavenly Path Sect had pursued him for three years, but he had defeated them all and ruined their reputation. If the Heavenly Path Sect had not applied pressure to the Yuhua Sect, that swordsman would probably still be alive.
The person who wrote the book showed pity between the lines.
In the end, this person killed a dozen Elders of the Heavenly Path Sect and chose to seal himself in a stele and enter Repentance Cliff.
"What a pity. He was also forced to seal himself by the Heavenly Path Sect and be tormented inside the stele until death." Li Qingshan sighed.
He flipped to the end to see who this person was.
Li Qingshan finally saw the man's name on the last page of the book.
He was stunned.
Two lines were written on the last page.
"Wu Shaobai!"
"Great River Sword Qi!"
Li Qingshan turned slowly and looked at the stele closest to the bamboo hut.
The first technique that he had comprehended had also been the Great River Sword Qi.
Fate was a strange thing.
