The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 697
Chapter 697 Li Qing Marriage (4)
After the formation of this escort, the Liu Clan’s defensive capabilities had greatly increased, and their strength could not be underestimated. Even if Li Qing did not stay in the Liu Clan in the future, he would still be able to protect himself.
However, if the Liu Clan truly wanted to be strong, it still needed the growth of their own disciples. Otherwise, they would also be strong from the outside and have no potential. They would soon decline.
Of course, it would take a long time for the Liu Clan disciples to grow up.
For this reason, Li Qing didn’t have much choice but to rely on them. All he could do now was to take out a portion of the high-grade martial arts to cultivate for the Liu Clan.
He thought that he had already helped enough, which could be considered benevolent and righteous. If he still didn’t succeed, then no one could be blamed.
Not long after, Father Liu suddenly found Li Qing with a worried expression and said, “Sigh, I’m in trouble again.”
“Oh? What happened?” Li Qing asked.
“One of our Liu Clan’s alchemists secretly escaped with money last night. It seems that he was dug into a corner by another force.” Father Liu’s expression was a little ugly.
“What kind of big deal is this? Just find another one.” Li Qing said casually.
“Where can I find an alchemist in such a hurry? Talents in this industry are very rare.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s like this. Anyway, this matter isn’t urgent. Just look for it slowly.”
“But the problem is that it’s very urgent. The time limit for a pill ordered by a customer is almost up. If we can’t find an alchemist in a short period of time, we won’t be able to deliver it.”
“Then why are you looking for me?” Li Qing looked at him with a faint smile.
“Hehe, didn’t I hear that you are also an alchemist? I just want to ask you for a favor.” Father Liu said awkwardly.
“Did Ke’er tell you this?”
“That’s right, it was my daughter who said it. Don’t blame Ke’er. There’s really nothing I can do about it. That’s why I asked you for help.”
“Alright then, no problem. I’ll help you refine this batch of pills.” Li Qing nodded and agreed.
“By the way, what grade of alchemist are you?” Father Liu asked.
“My grade?” Li Qing pondered for a moment. Originally, he wanted to hide his clumsiness, but suddenly, lightning flashed in his mind. Soon, he remembered something else and couldn’t help but be stunned on the spot.
“What’s the matter?” Father Liu asked.
“That’s right. Why didn’t I think that if I wanted to expand my influence, I wouldn’t have to use my strength. There are many other ways.” Li Qing’s eyes lit up.
“What influence? Why can’t I understand what you’re saying?” Father Liu asked doubtfully.
“Nothing. I just thought of something else.”
“Then what exactly is your alchemist grade?”
“You should be considered a master alchemist. I haven’t calculated the specifics.”
“What? Alchemist Master? Are you sure you’re not wrong?” Father Liu was immediately shocked.
“Why would I lie to you?” Li Qing smiled.
“Alright, it doesn’t matter if you are a pill refiner or not, as long as you can refine that batch of pills.” Father Liu didn’t believe it and felt that Li Qing was bragging.
If he really was an alchemist master, then he must be properly offered up and treated like an ancestor.
There weren’t many pill refining masters in Yunzhou, and they were all guests of the various major powers. If Li Qing really was a master, then he would definitely be an important person.
Of course, Father Liu did not believe this. He felt that it was not bad for Li Qing to have a high-grade alchemist.
Li Qing said, “In fact, not only have I reached the master level in pill refining, I have also made great achievements in artifact refining and talisman making.”
“Are you joking?” Father Liu’s expression became even more unconvinced.
“Why would I lie to you? You can’t fake all of this. It can be easily verified. By the way, I want to ask Lord Father-in-law for a favor.”
“What are you busy with?”
“Disseminate my achievements in artifact forging, pill refining, and talisman crafting. Let the world know that I have reached the level of a master in all three aspects.” Li Qing’s eyes lit up.
“This doesn’t seem to be appropriate, is it? I’m joking too much, don’t be unable to get off the stage at that time.” Father Liu hesitated. If Li Qing hadn’t reached the Master level by then, wouldn’t he be laughing out loud?
“I’m not joking. Do as I say. There’s no need to worry.” Li Qing said with a serious expression.
“Alright then, I’ll give it a try.” Father Liu left doubtfully.
“Looks like Father-in-law doesn’t believe what I said. He might slack off. Then I can only ask the people from the Myriad Devil Sect to spread the news.” Li Qing muttered to himself in a low voice.
The main reason for doing so was to expand their influence and prepare for the wedding in a month’s time.
If the various powers in Cloud Province knew that Li Qing was actually a triathlon master-level figure who gathered artifacts, refined pills, and refined talismans, then it would definitely cause a sensation. This was definitely the easiest way to expand his influence.
More importantly, doing so would not reveal his identity. It would simply kill two birds with one stone.
From now on, Li Qing will transform into a “Master Li Qing” and be respected and respected by the world.
When Grandmaster Li Qing’s identity entered the hearts of the people, even if someone identified him as someone from Diabolism, not many people would believe him, right?
A few days later, a piece of news gradually spread through the streets of Cloud Continent City.
“Have you heard? I finally know his name today, the son-in-law of the Liu Clan. His name is Li Qing!” Someone said mysteriously.
“What? Li Qing? Why does this name sound familiar?” Everyone was stunned.
“Isn’t Li Qing the name of the Demon Ancestor’s successor? Why is the son-in-law of the Liu Clan also called Li Qing? Is it just a coincidence?”
“Of course it’s a coincidence. This Li Qing is definitely not the same person as the Demon Ancestor’s inheritor. Otherwise, wouldn’t that be a big deal?”
“I also heard that Li Qing used to be a disciple of the Flaming Sun Peak of the Eight Desolate Sect several decades ago. Later, he somehow traveled to the Eastern Region, but he hasn’t returned until now.”
“Eastern Region! We’ve run this far!” Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
‘”Eh? I seem to have a bit of an impression of what you said. Back then, Li Qing had been to Yunzhou City. He was astonishing and shining with brilliance. Then, he disappeared for some reason. So he went to the Eastern Region to travel.”
“So it’s him. It’s been too long. I almost forgot if you don’t tell me. This person has really been to Yunzhou City before.”
“According to reliable information, Li Qing went to the Eastern Region to travel and join a strange man. He is now an alchemist master!”
“What, alchemist! Really? There aren’t many alchemist masters in the entire Cloud Continent, right?” Everyone was shocked.
‘”Strange, why did I hear different versions? I heard that Li Qing once received the inheritance of a certain person and became a master artificer!”
“But I heard that Li Qing is a Talisman Master!”
Everyone was discussing, and all kinds of news flew everywhere, not knowing whether it was true or false. There were even rumors that Li Qing was an all-round master in pill refining, artifact refining, and talisman making!
Just as everyone was discussing, another shocking thing happened!
The Liu Clan’s most prosperous street in Yunzhou City, a newly opened treasure pavilion, was about to open in three days.
The opening of the new store wasn’t a big deal, and it wasn’t worth attracting everyone’s attention. However, the problem was that the Liu Clan’s Treasure Pavilion would auction off three extremely precious treasures on the opening day!
They were a spirit artifact, a bottle of spirit pills, and a stack of spirit talismans!
The moment this news came out, it instantly caused a huge uproar. Each of these three treasures possessed immeasurable value in Yunzhou, especially the spirit artifact that was enough to be bought back as a sect treasure for a power.
What shocked the world even more was that it was rumored that all three items were personally refined by Master Li Qing!
Fresh out!
Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but realize that the rumors that had spread out seemed to be true!
Although some people didn’t believe that Li Qing could refine such a high-grade item, the Liu Clan’s ability to sell these three items was one of the best evidence.
No one would pay such a high price just to make up a lie.
After all, such lies could be easily exposed.
In order to dispel the doubts of the world, I heard that Master Li Qing will display his skills at the opening ceremony of the Liu Clan’s Treasure Pavilion to let everyone see his level!
Whether Li Qing had personally refined it or not would be obvious at that time.
As soon as this news came out, it instantly spread throughout the entire territory of Cloud Continent. Countless figures from various powers rushed towards Cloud Continent City, all of them wanting to see if this was true or false.
Regardless of whether Li Qing was a true master or not, these three rare treasures would be put up for auction.
Spirit Artifacts, Spirit Pills, and Spirit Talismans were all priceless items within the borders of Cloud Continent. Once it appeared, it would cause people to fight for it.
However, the accident happened very quickly. A few Xiantian experts were interested in sneaking into the Liu Clan at night to steal spirit artifacts, spirit pills, and spirit talismans.
As a result, their fate was very miserable. Soon, they were suppressed by Wen Xiao. At this time, the strength he displayed was actually at the ninth level of the Xiantian realm!
This news immediately caused a sensation. It turned out that there was actually such an expert guarding the Liu Clan!
He had hidden it too deeply, and it was only now that it was revealed.
In the entire Cloud Continent City, there weren’t many that could reach the seventh level of the Xiantian realm. Every single one of them was an elder-level figure from each sect!
The strength of the ninth level of the Xiantian Realm was enough to move horizontally within the borders of the Cloud Province.
Very quickly, Wen Xiaoxian’s true identity spread out. It turned out to be Elder Liu’s direct disciple back then, and they were fellow disciples of the same sect as Li Qing.
Speaking of this Wen Xiaoxian, everyone recalled it in their minds. Back then, this person had also made a splendid name in Cloud Continent.
Afterwards, I heard that he had gone on a trip to another place, and I don’t know when he returned to the territory of Cloud Continent.
Thinking of Wen Xiaoxian’s identity, everyone was relieved. It was normal for him to have such a cultivation.
Rumor has it that when Wen Xiao first left Cloud Continent, he had a Xiantian eighth layer cultivation. Now that several decades had passed, it could be said that it was very slow to improve by such a small amount.
“The tragedy of the Zhu Clan in the south of the city could really have been done by the Liu Clan. The Xiantian ninth layer Wen Xiaoxian, coupled with the unfathomable Li Qing, Liu Ke’er, and a mysterious woman, their combined strength is enough to completely annihilate the Zhu Clan.” Someone muttered in their hearts.
“If there is no evidence, don’t make wild guesses. The Liu Clan is now completely salted fish and has faintly become the second largest force in Yunzhou City. No one dares to provoke them anymore.”
“Ai, I regret not extending a helping hand to them when the Liu Clan was in decline. Otherwise, I would have received some rewards from it today.”
“Fortunately, I didn’t bully the Liu Clan back then. They shouldn’t have come to settle the score with us, right? However, the people from the other clans are miserable. They will definitely suffer the Liu Clan’s revenge in the future.” Someone gloated.
