Legend of the Great Saint

Chapter 135: A thousand Qi Condensation Pills!

- April 08, 2018

If Zhuo Zhi Bo had the intent to harm him and sent him to any dangerous lands, he would not be so shocked.

However, in the documents he gave out, it used a clear red ink to state “Ancient Wind City, Qian Family!”

Diao Fei and Li Qing Shan both looked at Qian Rong Zheng. Her face had not a single look of surprise and she remained smiling.

Zhuo Zhi Bo said: “You lot don’t need to look anymore. Rong Zheng has chosen to uphold justice and vanquish her relatives. Reporting the illegal acts of her Qian Family which are clear signs of treason against the Great Xia’s laws, it has already been stated in the above.”

Diao Fei also looked at his copy of the documents. On the above, it wrote the various crimes of the Qian family. There were even a few families who because of making a little fuss over the rent being too high and thus being erased within a night by the Qian family. There was also an instance when Qian Ting Nian took fancy to a lady he saw on the city streets and upon knowing that she was married, he insisted on taking her away from her family. He ordered his subordinates to kill her husband and kidnap the wife, forcibly making her one of his own concubines. There was even an official that was deployed there that because of his unwillingness to be a puppet of theirs that ended up being killed. There were tens of crimes all listed in detail and written down in black and white, all of which deserved the death sentence easily.

His upbringing was that from a sect, and there were few people there. Even though there were spots of darkness here and there, but it was not as filthy as this. He could not help but ask: “Is this real?”

Li Qing Shan did not suspect the authenticity of these crimes. The Qian family monopolised the Ancient Wind City. It was to the point where even the law enforcers had no power. Absolute power led to absolute corruption. It was not strange for them to act as they pleased. He was only curious as to why Qian Rong Zheng would do things as such.

Lightly muttering: “Uphold justice? Vanquish relatives?” Could it be that Qian Rong Zheng wanted to lead him back to her turf and then harm him there? This was the most logical explanation. But bringing a disaster back home just to harm him didn’t make sense. What was Qian Rong Zheng planning? For the Qian family to enter the list of names on the Eagle Wolf Guard’s list would surely not have any good results?”

Li Qing Shan decided to continue reading. Below were the cultivation levels of famous people in the Qian family. The first was the head of the Qian family, Qian Ting Nian, 5th Level of Qi Refining. There were none at the 4th level of Qi Refining, 2 at the 3rd Level, 5 at the 2nd level and 13 at the 1st level.

Li Qing Shan lifted his head: “Leader Zhuo, isn’t our first task a little too difficult?” At least on the surface, just the 3 of them were clearly unable to shake the very foundations of the Qian family.

“Is that so?” Zhuo Zhi Bo looked at Li Qing Shan, seemingly wanting to discover from his face any trace of evidence that he had anything to do with Zhao Liang Qing’s death. However, he was ultimately disappointed. “I also cannot just depend on rumours and news from a single source, so this mission is not for you lot to kill them, but to investigate. If Rong Zheng’s words are without error, then you lot will have to return to report. I will personally head on over to clean up. A few days later will be Qian Ting Nian’s longevity banquet(basically birthday celebration for really old people). You guys will head over in the name of wishing him greater longevity and with Rong Zheng as an inside agent, then it will be too simple.”

Li Qing Shan then replied: “I am just afraid that it won’t be that simple.”

Zhuo Zhi Bo remained smiling as he said: “All of the missions of the Eagle Wolf Guard carry risks. However, the greater the risks, the greater the rewards. Flip to the second page to see.”

Li Qing Shan flipped to the second page of the document. This was apparently a piece of “Asset analysis chart”, it was a prediction of the amount of medicinal pills, spiritual tools and other benefits. There were even comments that stated that after the longevity banquet, the rewards would be even greater. Unless it was a person from the Qian family, one would not know such details of their treasury to such an extent.

Zhuo Zhi Bo continued to tempt them as he said: “If the facts are discovered to be true after the investigation, I hope that you lot will directly “finish” this matter, reducing the amount of work on my part. Although Qian Ting Nian is of the 5th level of Qi Refining, he is already very old and is not as strong as his reputation calls of it. According to the rules, the rewards from your mission will all belong to you. Originally, the trial mission does not have Work Points, but if you lot manage to do it, then I will award each of you 500 Work Points.”

Li Qing Shan said: “It seems tough to reject ah. Ok, I am taking it, when do we set off?” Rejecting this mission would be meaningless anyway. Since Zhuo Zhi Bo still seemed to maintain a peaceful appearance, then he would maintain it for now. No matter how many traps and conspiracies there were, he would break through them all with his strength righteously. He would like to see what traps there were that would trap this demonic being.

“Now!”

On the clear river waters, a 2 storey high boat floated along, with a bold eagle sewn onto its sails. This was the personal boat of the Eagle Wolf Guard, made with exquisite design and meticulous craftsmanship. The decorations on the inside of the boat were even more luxurious, and it had functions that were extraordinary, as it was able to sail upstream on its own on an even faster speed than that Great Dragon Boat that Li Qing Shan sat on when he sailed downstream. All boats that encountered theirs only avoided, even the Great Dragon Boat.

A youth was sitting on the boat, seemingly admiring the sights and sounds of the two cliffs he saw ahead. There would be the occasional wave that hit that drenched his shirt as he played with a couple of Spirit Stones in his hands, which he paid no heed to.

Qing Shan was thinking about the plans for this mission. However, he was clearly not a thinker and had no way to guess what would happen and could only adapt as he went along. There was only one point he could confirm, and that was it would not be appropriate to transform into his demon form to take action. Otherwise, he could only avoid the masses to take action, which would also cause him to become a point of suspicion, However, he believed in his own strength and that it was enough to handle a majority of situations.

“My lord, the other two lords are asking you to go inside the cabin!” A worker on the boat said respectfully.

Qing Shan went inside and Diao Fei courteously asked: “Qing Shan, let’s discuss our tactics for later on!”

Qing Shan answered: “How about we ask her instead! Qian Rong Zheng, what are you intending on doing? Trying to lure me to Ancient Wind City to kill me? Trying to avenge your unlucky older brother?”

Qian Rong Zheng seductively smiled: “Are you that easy to kill? You finally admitted to killing Qian Rong Ming! I was originally suspecting Diao Fei, but it was actually you! However, he is not my older brother!”

Qing Shan said: “So what if I admit to it. He isn’t your older brother? Then isn’t he just your younger brother?”

Qian Rong Zheng replied: “Neither. We don’t have a shred of blood relation. It was only because I had the talent for Qi Refining that I was adopted by Qian Ting Nian. We are barely considered siblings. If he died then so be it, I don’t have any intent on taking revenge for him. So, you don’t have to be so warry of me. The three of us took the same boat over and left on the same boat. We can be considered to have some affinity with each other and we should work together to overcome any obstacles.”

Qing Shan was shocked as he said: “So it turns out you weren’t biological siblings. Can this even be considered a family?” [Qing Shan is referring to how it seemed that people from their Qian family aren’t biologically related yet claim to be a family group]

Qian Rong Zheng coldly laughed: “What family! At most they can only bully ordinary people. I heard that true big families are able to refine medicine and allow children without talents to become Qi Refiners as well. Families like that of the Qian don’t even have people of their own bloodline protecting their own family and don’t deserve to be considered to be anything good!”

Qing Shan only then knew that there was such a thing. Listening to her tone, he strangely asked: “Are you really intent on making enemies with the Qian Family this time? Aren’t you indebted to the Qian family?” To allow a normal person to become a Qi Refiner could easily be considered an act of kindness, but Qian Rong Zheng’s attitude was too strange.

She touched her face as she laughed: “Yes, I owe them a lot, so isn’t my returning to pay back my gratitude?”

The coldness on her face let even Diao Fei and Qing Shan, who had witnessed many life and death affairs, feel a slight shiver.

Qian Rong Zheng replied: “Don’t look at me like that. I have acted for long enough, and endured for long enough. As long as you all help me out this one time, I am at your command.”

Towards such a suggestion, not only Qing Shan, even Diao Fei felt no tugs at his heartstrings. As long as one was matured enough, then one would not be tempted by merely the beauty of others, to the point where they could lose their lives. Unless, one had practised the art of seduction like Fu Rong did.

Diao Fei carefully answered: “I do not wish to be enemies with a 5th Level Qi Refiner. Our job is merely to investigate. You are part of the Qian family so you must know where the Pill Refinery is at. We don’t have to completely antagonise Qian Ting Nian on the surface.”

Rong Zheng lashed out at him: “Coward, once the pills are refined, they would be immediately sent to the hands of Qian Ting Nian and stored in his Hundred Treasure Pouch. Can you not be so scared by his reputation when you have not even seen his face?”

“You…” Diao Fei angrily stood up. Qing Shan raised him arm and blocked him before telling Rong Zheng: “I have no interest in fighting someone who has a cultivation base 3 levels higher than me. If this is your plan then I suggest you quit it. After our investigations, we will leave immediately. It can’t be that that Qian Ting Nian dares to offend the Eagle Wolf Guard?”

Rong Zheng finally settled down: “Do you know why there aren’t any 4th Level Qi Refiners in the Qian Family? It’s because that old fart is already weak beyond belief and does not even have to confidence to suppress anyone at the level of the 4th level. From his fear of losing his power as the head of the family, he would cut off their supply of medicinal pills for anyone that is about to breakthrough to the 4th level of Qi Refining.”

Both Qing Shan and Diao Fei were shocked. Sacrificing the development of the family so as to protect one’s rotting power and control. This type of family head was simply too scary.

Rong Zheng said: “At that time, I will first attack him secretly, then we will kill him together in one hit. The rest, I believe will not fall into the eyes of you two!”

Qing Shan and Diao Fei both looked at each other. Not only Qing Shan did not even consider 3rd level Qi Refiners as a threat, even Diao Fei had confidence in his own battle experience and believed that a trash that was raised by a family that did not even fight to the death before would not be a match for him.

Lastly, Rong Zheng dealt the heaviest blow: “Qian Ting Nian’s Hundred Treasure Pouch contains at least over 300 Qi Condensation Pills as well as many other valuable spiritual medicines which will not be worse than that Dewdrop Pill. Although the spiritual tools cannot be compared with those from the Eagle Wolf Guard, but there will at least be quite a few, which are worth at least a few hundred Qi Condensation Pills. Along with the items in the hands of other Qi Refiners, the total value will most likely hit at least a thousand Qi Condensation Pills.”

Qing Shan and Diao Fei were both shocked by this number. The Qian Family was clearly like its name(Qian in Chinese stands for money). It was clearly a living treasury. Although it was a family that did not deserve to be in the ranks of top families, it was at least a family that existed for up to a hundred years and had reserves that were beyond small. There was a saying that “Taels of gold could move even a human heart”. The greed that Qi Refiners had for Spiritual Medicine and Tools were clearly not below that of normal people’s greed for Pure Gold and Silver, and even surpassed it to some extent.

Rong Zheng stretched out her hand and Diao Fei hesitated before putting his hand on top. Then, Qing Shan stretched out his hand as well to stack the three of them together.

And this, to achieve a common goal, the three of them decided to ally together as they headed towards the Ancient Wind City despite their suspicions towards one another as well as their antagonistic relations with one another.

First, they took a boat, then they switched to horses and after rushing down the road, they reached their destination after 5 days.

Immediately, a person from the city saw Rong Zheng and shouted: “The lady has returned, quickly report to the Family Head!”

Qing Shan then noticed Qian Rong Zheng’s expression change without any prior notice, returning to the same as it was when he had first met her. Prideful with a few traces of reservations, as if she was proud to return to her family with her status. However, no one could imagine how terrifying was the hatred she had harboured in her heart as she stepped forth into Ancient Wind City.

Done Done Note:

Recently it’s 清明节，Clear Ming Festival, where one goes to their relatives tombs and cleans them up! Hence my late post! What one does during this period of time is that one will go back and clean the tomb and burn paper offerings to their relatives for them to have wealth in the underworld. Generally, it is commemorated within ten days before and after the festival so it takes place over 20 days! Don’t be surprised to note the Chinese families burning stuff more than usual during this period of time because it is meant for their ancestors! People generally burn paper money, paper cars, and even paper airplanes and such to offer their relatives! Even if you don’t commemorate this festival, maybe it’s good to take this time to think about and pray for the happiness of your deceased relatives so as to have a peaceful and happy afterlife/reincarnation/whatever belief you have! Thank you for the support!
