The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 071

Chapter 071 Lord Of Yunzhou City
Li Qing also made the mistake of “black under the lamp”. He had been searching for the white chalcedony outside these days, but he had forgotten to ask if there was anything like this in the Liu Manor.

The possibility of such a large clan possessing white jade marrow was extremely high. Moreover, the Liu Clan definitely had a lot of connections in Yunzhou City. If they were to come out and search for the White Jade Marrow, it would be much easier. It was better than Li Qing trying his luck alone.

“White chalcedony?” Father Liu thought for a moment and said, “I think there is one. I don’t know if it’s still in the family treasury. I’ll have someone check it out.”

Thus, he had his servants go to the Liu Clan’s treasury to inspect it.

His attitude was rather positive. After all, Li Qing had just readily agreed to attend the birthday banquet, so he couldn’t let him down too much.

Very quickly, the servant returned with a small porcelain bottle in his hand and said, “Indeed, there is one. It is here.” As he spoke, he handed the item over.

Father Liu stretched out his hand and took the white jade essence. He looked at Li Qing and said awkwardly, “Nephew, although I am the patriarch of the Liu Clan, I cannot easily use the resources in the treasury. Only those who have contributed to the clan can use them. Therefore…”

Li Qing understood in his heart and hurriedly said, “I am willing to buy spirit stones. May I?”

“Purchase spirit stones?” Father Liu was stunned. Originally, he had planned to make some other requests, but he didn’t expect Li Qing to be more direct and purchase spirit stones.

Since that was the case, he didn’t find it difficult to help Li Qing, so he nodded in agreement and handed over the white jade essence.

Li Qing was overjoyed. He immediately took out a thousand spirit stones from his interspatial ring and handed them to Father Liu. Then, he took the white jade essence. He really had no place to find after stepping through the iron shoes, so it didn’t take much effort to get here.

“I need a lot of white chalcedony. Uncle, please help me keep an eye on it. If any family has this item, I am willing to buy it at a high price.” Li Qing said.

“Alright, no problem.” Father Liu casually agreed, but he didn’t take it to heart.

Liu Ke’er sat at the side and watched all of this quietly. A trace of dissatisfaction flashed across her face. Father Liu’s actions were clearly treating Li Qing as an outsider. A mere portion of the white jade essence actually had the nerve to collect spirit stones. He was so clear about it that he wasn’t afraid of being laughed at by others.

If the Liu Clan were to ask Li Qing for help in the future, would they also have to pay spirit stones to ask him for help? They were all one family, so it was too unusual to do so.

If things continued like this, what kind of feelings would there be between the two of them?

However, now that things had come to this point, it was impossible for her to say anything unpleasant to her face. Seeing that the matter had been discussed and the meal was almost over, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er did not stay any longer and left.

…

When they walked out, they were not in a hurry to return. Instead, they took a walk by the green willow lake.

The cool breeze blew on his face, making him feel very comfortable. As the two walked, they chatted. Liu Ke’er held Li Qing’s arm and strolled in the beautiful night. It was very romantic.

“I’ve been in the city these past few days. I’ve heard passers-by talking. They seem to admire the Yunzhou City Lord very much. Speaking of which, what kind of person is the Yunzhou City Lord? I’ve been here for so long, but I’ve never found out.” Li Qing asked.

“City Lord Yun Zhou is indeed an extraordinary figure. There are too many legends about him! Ten years ago, I heard that he has already reached the tenth level of the Xiantian realm, and is known as the number one person under the Void realm. His combat strength is terrifying, and he has never lost in his life.” Liu Ke’er slowly narrated his deeds.

“So powerful?”

“Of course! He is indeed the number one genius in the world. It is unknown how many years it takes for him to appear. Do you know how old he was when he became a Xiantian?” Liu Ke’er asked.

“I don’t know.” Li Qing shook his head.

“Twenty-two years old!” She said softly.

“It can’t be?” Li Qing cried out in shock. This was truly inconceivable! Twenty-two years old, being able to reach the tenth level of the Houtian realm was already extremely impressive. How could he reach the Xiantian realm?

“I don’t believe it either, but that’s the truth. Grandpa told me personally.” Liu Ke’er smiled. When she heard this, her reaction was the same.

“There are such great characters in this world! The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders.” Li Qing praised.

“Who says that’s not true? Furthermore, the Yunzhou City Lord is still very young, much younger than Grandpa. However, he has already cultivated to the tenth level of the Xiantian Realm, and Grandpa is only at the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm.”

“You are still very young, yet you can possess such terrifying strength!” Li Qing murmured, “A Xiantian expert can live up to two hundred years. Doesn’t that mean he has a high chance of reaching the Void Realm?”

It was said that Xiantian experts could live up to 200 years of age. Of course, under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t be able to live to this age. However, it was certain that, under no unexpected circumstances, there wouldn’t be any problem for Xiantian experts to live to 150 years of age.

In other words, there was still plenty of time left for City Lord Yun Zhou. Of course, to reach the Void Realm, one did not have to rely on time to break through. Rather, one needed to rely on fortune and luck. The difficulty was unimaginable. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so few Void Realms in this world.

Liu Ke’er nodded her head and said, “Many people think so as well. They feel that this matter is certain. Especially the City Lord of Cloud Continent, who is so astonished and talented. It is not surprising that he really wants to break through to the Void Realm.”

Li Qing asked, “It is impossible for an ordinary person to become a Xiantian at the age of twenty-two. He should be from some big family, right?”

If his luck and fortune were extremely good, coupled with the help of countless resources, it would be acceptable for him to break through to the Xiantian realm quickly. For example, Li Qing and Liu Ke’er were like this. They had obtained heavenly materials and earth treasures, and their strength had greatly increased, saving them years of effort.

Liu Ke’er smiled and said, “Are you stupid? Of course, Yunzhou City Lord comes from the City Lord’s Mansion-the Zhou Clan! Otherwise, how can you be the City Lord?”

“That’s right!” Li Qing came to his senses. Cloud Continent City was ruled by the Zhou Clan, so the City Lord naturally came from this clan.

“But there is one thing, you are wrong. Although he came from the Zhou Clan, when he was young, not only did he not receive the attention of the Zhou Clan, he was also repeatedly made difficult by others. He had experienced more tribulations and dangers than ordinary people, and even his life was in danger. It can be said that the Cloud Continent City Lord was able to reach such strength solely because of his own efforts, not because of the help of his clan. ”

“Since he comes from the Zhou Clan and has a noble status, why would he suffer so much?” Li Qing asked.

Liu Ke’er said, “The reason why he was treated so unfairly is because he is a concubine. His mother is just a commoner and does not have any influence in the family. But he is also very talented. He has shown astonishing talent since he was young. It is said that Mu Xiu is in the forest and the wind will destroy him. How can an outstanding person like him not be jealous?”

“That’s why!” Li Qing nodded. “Not only did the Zhou Clan not help him, they even gave him many tribulations. What an irony. Perhaps these tribulations helped him mature quickly and turn his potential into reality.”

“Speaking of which, Grandpa has a relationship with the City Lord of Cloud Province.” Liu Ke’er said.

“Oh? What origin?” Li Qing asked curiously.

“Grandfather once saved the life of Yunzhou City Lord. At that time, the Yunzhou City Lord was still young and weak. He was framed by someone and his life was in danger. Coincidentally, he was saved by his grandfather. Later on, the relationship between the two of them could be considered as one of master and friend. His grandfather had given him a lot of guidance and help to prevent him from taking detours. It can be said that his current achievements are inseparable from his grandfather’s help back then. ”

“So there is such a relationship.” Li Qing nodded. No matter how talented a person was, they couldn’t do without the help of others.

“It’s because of this that the relationship between the Yunzhou City Lord and the Liu Clan has always been good. That’s why the Liu Clan has developed so quickly. Otherwise, if Grandfather doesn’t stay in Yunzhou City all year round, there will inevitably be desperate people from the younger generation. In fact, the protection of the City Lord’s Manor is the only reason why he is safe and sound.” Liu Ke’er said.

Li Qing praised, “What a person who knows how to repay kindness. Not only is his talent and perseverance far superior to ordinary people, but his conduct is also so good. There is actually such a perfect person in this world!”

Liu Ke’er smiled and said, “I heard that City Lord Yun Zhou has always treated Grandfather with great respect. He often treats him with respect and calls him Liu shi. In that case, aren’t you his junior brother?”

Li Qing was stunned. He shook his head and said, “These people are separated by a few generations. Furthermore, they do not have the status of master and disciple. They are just being courteous, but they do not count.”

The two of them walked along the lake for a long time and chatted about many things. In the end, it was already late, so they reluctantly bid farewell.

…

Li Qing returned to the Green Bamboo Garden. Naturally, the greatest harvest of his trip was the bottle of white jade essence. With it, Li Qing could cultivate the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant again, greatly increasing his strength.

The birthday of the daughter of the City Lord would not begin until next month, so there was plenty of time. Li Qing began to prepare the Body Casting Spiritual Liquid again.

With his previous experience, he was much more proficient in the preparation this time. There weren’t many mistakes, and he successfully refined the spirit liquid.

He divided the spiritual liquid into five portions and began to cultivate.

In the following period of time, he stayed in the Green Bamboo Garden to cultivate the Nine Revolutions of the Divine Elephant. Just like before, the gate was closed and the two doors were closed.

When the Liu family saw this, they were already accustomed to it. They secretly called Li Qing a Martial Idiot and even looked down on him. They felt that he was a country bumpkin and didn’t understand the world at all.

Apart from Liu Ke’er who would occasionally visit him, no one else would disturb him.

More than ten days passed quickly. Li Qing finally used up the Body Forging Spiritual Liquid and his strength increased by 1,500 jin.

His combined strength was already close to 14,000 jin!

Such strength was enough to fight against ordinary Xiantian experts from the outside world. Of course, if it was an elite figure from a large sect, then it would not be enough.

Time passed unknowingly. Soon, the birthday of the little daughter of the City Lord arrived!
