546 - Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, Heavenly Talisman's Body Securing Talisman
This was his second time holding Yiye Jiange's hands. He did not know how to feel about it, but he did not brood on it too much.
Qing Shui would not allow himself to blaspheme the goddess in his heart…..
Although it was not late when they got back, Yiye Jiange and Luan Luan went back to their room to rest. When Qing Shui went past Mingyue Gelou's room, he remembered what had happened earlier in the day; he pushed the door and realized that it was not locked.
Qing Shui entered and heard some voices coming from the inner room. He knew that Mingyue Gelou and Yuchang had not slept yet, thus he slowly made his way in.
Qing Shui intentionally did not soften his footsteps!
"Yuchang, guess who is here." Mingyue Gelou's pleasing voice came from the room.
"Daddy's here!" Yuchang cried out happily, and then there was the sound of running. Yuchang ran out barefooted.
"Daddy!"
Qing Shui smiled as he replied. He picked up the young lass and headed towards the room. Tan Yang was dead, and everyone of the Tan Clan was dead as well. He was now their only pillar of support. Yuchang was his daughter, closer than even blood relatives. With regards to her and Luan Luan, Qing Shui wanted to love them even more……
Mingyue Gelou was sitting at the side of the bed, dressed in a nightgown. She looked at Qing Shui, smiled, and said: "Coming!"
Qing Shui found her statement quite bizarre, but he realized after careful thought that he hadn't stepped into a woman's room for quite a while now.
Qing Shui removed his shoes and carried Yuchang to bed. Little Yuchang was in the middle, while Qing Shui and Mingyue Gelou each took a side of the bed.
"Daddy, I want a bear like sister Luan Luan's, too." Little Yuchang was now about six or seven years old. Maybe she understood some things - a child had the most energy of all, after all
"Wait till you grow as big as sister Luan Luan. Daddy will catch one for you then, alright?" Qing Shui rubbed his nose, feeling guilty for lying to a child.
Following that, Qing Shui quickly took out some fun trinkets and tasty food before the young lass could get serious about it, lest he end up in an awkward position as a result.
There was no way to reason things with her!
"Has it been tough?" Qing Shui embraced Little Yuchang, who had fallen asleep, his other hand tightly holding Mingyue Gelou's soft and supple hands.
"It is not tough, not tough at all. I feel very fortunate!" Mingyue Gelou said seriously with a dignified expression; the fiery red cinnabar between her brows was very enchanting.
……
Within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal!
Qing Shui finished up circulating the Ancient Strengthening Technique, injuring his body following that to practice the Taichi Fist and Back Connecting Fist. In these three years, Qing Shui had injured his body to its utmost limits, which made for a training that yielded twice the results for half the effort.
Now Qing Shui could clearly feel the benefits of injuring his body, such as the Qi Force in his body feeling more solidified.
This way it would increase the lethality, destructiveness, and explosiveness of his attacks greatly.
The bottleneck of the Fifth Wave caused Qing Shui to not know what to do. Injuring his body and practising his past techniques was his way at grasping at straws.
Cloudmist Steps!
Having cleared the acupoints, Qing Shui's speed improved significantly, which was something eligible to be called a large breakthrough in speed.
When Qing Shui was in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he would typically brew a large amount of Plum Blossom Wine and Vermillion Fruit Wine. He also would use a period of time every day to meditate. This way, when his body was relaxed, he might have some unexpected gains.
Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint!
This was a technique that Qing Shui had been recently training. Qing Shui had a hunch that the Buddha image that appeared was not simple, but he did not know if it was a result of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint or the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm
After carefully thinking he understood it. The and were related. The training of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint was the crux of the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm.
Many complicated palm imprints struck out one after another. Their patterns looked messy and disorderly, but each had an indescribable harmony.
Qing Shui could now practice to the 399th palm in one breath. But in this period, regardless of what he tried, he could not breakthrough to the 400th palm.
Bottleneck!
Qing Shui knew that this was a bottleneck. Furthermore, his Fifth Wave had already reached the peak. In this period, even though he did not breakthrough to the 400th palm or the 6th Wave, Qing Shui was still very happy, because his skill and strength had risen by a significant amount.
As for the Blue Lotus Art, Qing Shui was still only proficient at controlling three Golden Lotus Flowers. The Basic Sword Techniques, Cloudmist Steps, and Thousand Hammer Technique had achieved an acceptable standard.
Only the Heavenly Thunder Slash was lingering at the Truth Realm, exhibiting virtually no progress. Qing Shui really wanted to breakthrough to the Obscure Realm, so that there would be a chance to paralyze the target for a split second.
After resting for a little, Qing Shui took out that thin Heavenly Talisman book, spurred on by an urgent need to learn the Body Securing Talisman.
The effects of the Body Securing Talisman could cause the target to be stuck at the original spot and not be able to move for 1 to 3 breaths of time; albeit the target would be able to move his hands to attack or defend.
If the talisman did not meet the requirements, then it would be ineffective!
Such as the Grade 1 Body Securing Talisman, Grade 2 Body Securing Talisman, Grade 3 Body Securing Talisman…… Within them exists a kind of talismanic power. This was the soul of the Heavenly Talisman and also the source by which to determine its success and might.
Aside from proficiency and talent, talisman drawing was related to personal strength. For example, even if a Xiantian cultivator was able to reach a legendary realm, he would not be able to make the talisman go beyond the 3rd grade. This was the limitation of personal strength, especially the control type of talisman.
Although the drawing of talismans was limited by his strength, there were some items that could assist, such as the Golden Calligraphy Brush and the Moonstone Ink Slab that Qing Shui used.
There were also some precious and valuable beast blood and beast skins that could raise the strength of the Heavenly Talisman's effects.
Qing Shui was already very familiar with the usage of the Body Securing Talisman; not only could it cause the target to be stuck for 1 to 3 breaths of time, it could lower the target's defense.
Qing Shui realized the perverse usefulness of the Body Securing Talisman after he saw the Diamond Gigantic Elephant exhibit the terrifying Mighty Elephant Stomp. He thought of that 30 meters long Diamond Gigantic Elephant in his sea of consciousness; one stomp from it would tear the heavens and earth apart, and many large legendary demonic beasts would be torn apart.
Qing Shui found it hard to imagine such a Mighty Elephant Stomp. If the Mighty Elephant Stomp of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant reached the Grand Perfection Stage, one stomp would be a frightening strength of 80 countries…...
If he used the Body Securing Talisman to bind the opponent first and then let the Diamond Gigantic Elephant rush up and use the Mighty Elephant Stomp, with the addition effect of ignoring defense, it would prove to be the most ideal situation possible.
The Body Securing Talisman's ignore armor effect applied to everything, not just equipment or the body but even the organs and bones.
A Grade 1 talisman would ignore 10 percent, and the duration was 1 to 3 breath of time! A Grade 2 talisman would ignore 20 percent, but there so no change in time, save for a higher probability of it lasting for 3 breaths of time. Meanwhile, the higher grade ones would pretty much be 3 breaths of time almost every time.
No wonder the Heavenly Talisman was an expensive trinket - a single breath's of time was a steep price to pay, easily becoming the death certificates of experts the higher up in grade the talismans are!
Practice!
Qing Shui only drew the first stroke because he realized that this Body Securing Talisman was different from the previous talismans. Just like the first time, it was difficult to draw.
He immersed himself in drawing till he had counted the hundred, only to continue arduously shortly after. The more he drew, the smoother it got. However, what caused Qing Shui to feel disheartened was that he could only draw a fifth of it.
If Lin Zhanhan knew that Qing Shui only took so long to draw the Body Securing Talisman to this extent, he would not know how to describe Qing Shui's abilities.
Among the Heavenly Talismans, the Godly Force Talisman, Divine Shield Talisman, Binding Talisman and Armor Break Talisman that Qing Shui drew previously were direct type talismans. They were the most basics of the entry-level talismans.They were easy to learn but had a steep learning curve, becoming unimaginably difficult towards the 3rd grade.
However, the Body Securing Talisman was the second type of talisman. Its biggest effect was in controlling the target, such as preventing him from moving for 1 to 3 breaths of time, in which they are rendered inert for the duration it lasts.
There was also the 3rd type, known as Five Elements Talismans, which used the energy from heaven and earth to make direct attacks. It was the talisman type with the most might as well as the hardest difficulty in drawing.
Descending Thunder Talisman was a Five Elements Talismans of the lightning and fire attribute!
Up until he exited the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Qing Shui realized that the Body Securing Talisman's progress was only 50%. Using this to calculate when he would complete the Body Securing Talisman, he deduced would be half a month later!
In the morning, he practised the Taichi Fist as usual and gave pointers to the three generations of the Qing Clan; he was overall satisfied with the progress of the three generations of the Qing Clan at this point.
The last time he left, he knew that Luan Luan and Qing Bei would break through to Xiantian, especially Luan Luan. Qing Shui knew she would break through to Xiantian before 10 years old.
After breakfast, Qing Shui would ride on the Fire Bird alone and go to the Qing Village. With the Fire Bird's quick flying speed, he would arrive in Qing Village within an hour.
He descended on a hill not far away from the Qing Clan doors!
Once he entered, Qing Shui saw two old men fishing by the Qing Clan pond. Maybe because they broke through to Xiantian, Qing Shui felt that grandpa Qing Luo's complexion looked better than before.
"Grandpa, grandpa Lin!"
When Qing Shui saw these two old men, he happily cried out!
"Qing Shui, when did you come back?" Qing Luo happily stood up.
Lin Zhanhan also stood up happily; he looked extremely happy to see Qing Shui.
"I arrived at the Hundred Miles City yesterday."
The three of them chatted as they walked into a room. Since their last encounter, Qing Shui had left in a hurry, being briefly gone for half a year as opposed to his previous track record of disappearing for years at a time.
Qing Shui took out the wine from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. This kind of pure fermented wine would not harm the body and was in fact good for it.
"Grandpa, grandpa Lin!"
"Qing Shui, is there any issue? Spit it out! Why are you still being so courteous to us." Lin Zhanhan smiled as he said.
AST 547 - Their son has grown up, Yu He, Shi Clan
"Grandpa Qing, Grandpa Lin, I want to bring you two over to Green Cloud Continent!" Qing Shui smiled as he told the two old men.
Both Qing Luo and Lin Zhanhan didn't reject him straight away. They also make any promises. Instead, they looked at Qing Shui with a serious expression as if they were thinking of a way to respond to him.
"Qing Shui, it might be okay if you were the only one outside. The Qing Clan may not be a big clan, but it is still a clan that has more than a hundred members. Furthermore, the outside world isn't as good compared to the Hundred Miles City. Other than Grandpa Lin and I, there really isn't anyone else in the Qing Clan who is capable of supporting the clan." Qing Luo said gently after hesitating for a while.
"Grandpa, you don't have to feel worried about this. Didn't you always want the new generation of Qing Clan to be successful? I can just let them all join Heavenly Palace." Qing Shui chuckled. At present, he was already the Patriarch of Heavenly Palace, it would only be natural for him to let his clan members join Heavenly Palace. In fact, it's something that the Qing Clan members would really look forward to. This way, it would make them feel more secure.
"Yes indeed, I really hoped that all of the members of Qing Clan will be successful. But the problem is, will you be able to manage all of this?" Qing Luo looked at Qing Shui in doubt. After all, it was the Continent's Capital he was talking about. Furthermore, Heavenly Palace was also the strongest sect in Green Cloud Continent.
In addition, Qing Luo had looked after Qing Shui since he was a young boy. Even though Qing Shui was already really powerful, Qing Luo was still unsure about his strength as a whole. Even if he was even more powerful, he would still be a child in Qing Luo's eyes.
"Grandpa, I am the person in charge of Heavenly Palace at the moment. For now, I have the final say in everything regarding the Heavenly Palace. Mother and uncle wanted you to make up your mind. Let's put it this way, if you can promise to do as I say, I can promise you I will definitely make the entire Qing Clan stronger……"
Qing Shui looked at Qing Luo's aged face which flashed between surprise and irresolution.
"You have the final say in Heavenly Palace? How old are you? I am aware that there are a lot of elderly men in Heavenly Palace, all of them answer to you?" Qing Luo asked doubtfully after a moment of silence.
"Grandpa, age is just a number. As long as I have sufficient strength, I'm sure that they will listen to me. If you don't believe me, ask Grandpa Lin." Qing Shui smiled and glanced towards Lin Zhanhan. Qing Shui was aware that the late Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace had looked for Lin Zhanhan before. He was convinced that Lin Zhanhan knew about a lot of things involving him and Heavenly Palace.
All along, Lin Zhanhan had remained silent. He only stood there with a smile on his face. This was a problem of the Qing Clan. Hence, he felt unnecessary to give any suggestions.
Qing Luo only glanced towards Lin Zhanhan after hearing Qing Shui's words. As of now, it could be said that Qing Luo trusted Lin Zhanhan even more than he trusted Qing Shui. After all, Lin Zhanhan's age matched up quite well with the amount of experience which he had gained throughout his life.
Lin Zhanhan only smiled and nodded his head.
"This isn't the first time you talked about this. But, I think Grandpa Lin and I will just stay here. We are already so old, I think it's better for us to just stay here and enjoy a peaceful life." Qing Luo declined Qing Shui's request.
"You and Grandpa Lin have to come. Once you are there, if anyone were to start any business, they would still need you and Grandpa Lin to keep watch of them." Qing Shui wouldn't allow a warrior like Lin Zhanhan, who was at the pinnacle of Martial King Grade to remain in Hundred Miles City. It would be such a waste.
"Let's go to Hundred Miles City first, after arriving, we'll sit down and discuss this matter, how's that?" Qing Luo laughed embarrassingly.
"Even if grandpa doesn't believe me, at least believe in Grandpa Lin!" Qing Shui said bitterly.
"Hehe, your mother has already suffered a lot. Regarding this incident, I still hope that your mother will be the one to decide. I can help you convince her. This way, she will be able to expand her horizons towards the outside world. And also, that little Qing Bei brat." Qing Luo explained slowly as he looked at Qing Shui.
Qing Shui finally kept quiet.
Qing Shui accompanied Qing Luo and Lin Zhanhan in Qing Village for almost half a day. After that, the three of them rode the Fire Bird back to Hundred Miles City.
As of now, all the people from Qing Clan was considered to have reunited. Of course, if Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li were to be included, it would be a different story. All the original members of the clan were present.
"Today, since everyone has gathered here, let's all talk to each other about the future of the Qing Clan, I believe that everyone is already aware of what this meeting is about, I just want to go through it again." Qing Luo smiled and said.
"Where is Qing Shui? Everyone has seen it, he dedicated thousand of times more hard work than a normal person. It can almost be said that he has done something even billions of people can't accomplish. He wants to let everyone go to an even bigger and wider place to start anew.
When Qing Luo talked up to this point, he stopped. After that, he glanced towards Qing You. Everyone else remained silent and didn't say anything.
"Qing You, do you want to join Heavenly Palace? Do you want to go to Green Cloud Continent?" Qing Luo asked as he looked at Qing You with a smile.
"I don't want……" Qing You responded submissively.
"Damned brat, you with your usual tricks again, keep it to yourself. Be straightforward and answer me. Brother Qing Shui has the authority to let you into the sect. If you don't say anything, there is a high chance that he will leave you behind in Hundred Miles City." Qing Luo laughed and accused him.
"Yes, I… I am willing to……"
Qing Shui smiled as he approached him. He was holding Qing Yi's and Qing Qing's hands: "Mother, your son is all grown up, this time, he has really grown up."
It was such a simple sentence, yet it instantly left Qing Yi in tears, Qing Qing also couldn't help but tear up. The other members of Qing Clan also felt incomparably sad.
It has been so long, around ten years, ten years since the coming of age ceremony. Throughout these years, everyone in Qing Clan had known almost everything about Qing Shui's hardships through Huoyun Liu-Li and the girls. Especially the life which Qing Shui lived during the three years when he was crippled, it was something which all of them witnessed themselves.
……
Everyone from Qing Clan knew that Qing Shui would always say one phrase, "No pain, no gain".
"This time, you have really made up your mind!" Qing Yi shouted out loudly with tears of joy.
"Your son has really grown up!"
It's not the first time Qing Shui had said this, but this time, it truly made the people present feel incomparably sad. At present, Qing Shui was already twenty-seven years old.
The last time he had said this was when he just turned into an adult. After ten years, Qing Shui once again said the same thing. This time, he could finally say it proudly because he felt that he was finally qualified to say so.
"Qing Shui, when we're there, we can't just slack off like how we used to. Both your uncle and auntie, as well as myself, are no longer capable of improving our cultivation levels. However, we were already content with our achievements. Why don't we continue our medicinal business in the Green Cloud Continent?" Qing Yi smiled while looking at Qing Shui.
"Sure!" Qing Shui responded with a smile. It's not a bad idea to start a medicinal business. Not only did he have the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he had even snatched away a lot of treasures from Yan Clan Treasury, Crimson Gang, Sword Tower and Demon Beast Sect. He had collected quite a huge fortune, this way, he would be able to help expand the medicinal business of Qing Clan. After that, he could pair it up with his own Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal to get more precious and rare medicinal herbs.
Qing Shui's medicinal herbs in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal were superior in the sense that the thousand years medicinal herbs were divided into batches. Hence, Qing Shui could take out some from each and every batch. He didn't necessarily need to take out a lot of it. It was just to exchange for other precious medicines.
That was how things were decided. Qing Shui told them they would leave after three days to give them some time to pack up. On the other hand, Qing Shui was thinking of making an enormous carriage.
It's impossible for such a great quantity of people to all ride on the Fire Bird. Hence, Qing Shui set his sight on the enormous Diamond Gigantic Elephant. Since there were so many people and things, Qing Shui was thinking about how big the carriage needed to be.
As for the pulling force of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, it was not something to be worried about. As long as the carriage was tough enough, it wouldn't be a problem even if it was to pass over mountains ridges.
Qing Shui believed that he was capable of doing this.
After three days!
The people in Qing Clan couldn't believe their eyes when they saw a carriage in front of the Qing Clan's Medicinal Store.
It was more than thirty meters long, five meters wide and five meters tall. It had ten large wheels. There was barely any gap between the wheels.
The Diamond Gigantic Elephant was the most suitable one to pull this enormous carriage. The elephant itself was already ten meters long and four meters tall.
The process of making this carriage had also given Qing Shui a headache. This was because it not only had to be tough, it still needed to be able to resist shockwaves. Luckily, Qing Shui knew about springs. With Qing Shui's ability, the shock absorption function of the springs made by him would definitely be top quality.
The last thing which made Qing Shui anxious was the wheels. The axles for the wheels were already done. It's the outer rim which Qing Shui was concerned about. Qing Shui had to put the long journey into consideration. In any case, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant had insane strength, don't mention about pulling one, even pulling hundreds of these carriages wouldn't be a problem for the Diamond Gigantic Elephant.
Eventually, Qing Shui decided to use some three thousand year old Nanmu Trees to make the enormous wheels.
Qing Shui made the Diamond Gigantic Elephant pull it. After trying it a few times, he felt unusually good. It might be because he had used a lot of springs in the creation of the carriage, which in turn gave it a huge advantage. After all, Qing Shui's skills in his Ancient Art of Forging was close to perfection.
The carriage itself was made from the Quad-colour Rainbow Art of Forging and was already able to resist shockwaves to a certain extent. It also had the function of providing a speed boost. This was the bizarre part about the Ancient Art of Forging.
The carriage at the back was really large. They brought along some essential items and precious medicines from the Qing Clan's Medicinal Store. After all, it's not that there weren't any poor people in Green Cloud Continent, but there also wouldn't be any peak Martial King warriors running back and forth along the streets. Across the World of the Nine Continents, no matter where it was, all places were still mostly populated with commoners. After that would be warriors of Houtian Grade. There were only very few people who were able to achieve Xiantian Grade.
Luckily, the carriage was huge enough. Basically, they had already brought along everything that they could bring with them.
This carriage may be huge in the Hundred Miles City, but when compared to carriages in the Green Cloud Continent, it would only be considered average.
"Mother, I will be heading to the Shi Clan for a while!"
Qing Shui informed Qing Yi before leaving.
"Go, it would be best if you could bring Qingzhuang along! Don't feel hurried, if we can't make it today, there is still tomorrow. One or two days don't really matter, finish all your things first." Qing Yi answered after thinking for awhile.
"Right!"
Qing Shui took a peek at Wenren Wushuang. After such a long time, she was already like a blood-related sister to Qing Qing. It's just that she was becoming more and more distant from him. This made Qing Shui feel sad and happy at the same time.
While he was happy that she could get along well with his mother and sister, he was sad because he missed the old Wushuang.
Qing Shui greeted them. After that, he proceeded towards Shi Clan, the clan that was nominally ruling the Hundred Miles City.
Not long after he went out, Qing Shui ran into a person. For a moment, Qing Shui froze in shock. So did the person.
Yu He!
She was wearing a white and plain garment. Besides the bulging part which was supposed to bulge, she had gotten thinner, causing her to look a bit more beautiful. Her clear and attractive pupils contained a kind of unsolvable complexity.
When Qing Shui saw her, he felt a bit guilty, to the point that he even felt a bit diffident. During the two times he came back, he hadn't looked for her even once. Qing Shui didn't know if she was aware that he had come back since he hadn't visited her.
"Sister Yu! How have you been?" When Qing Shui said this, he sounded a bit unnatural.
"You are leaving again!" Yu He responded with a humble smile.
Even though she was smiling, it still made Qing Shui feel a bit uneasy and cold. For a moment, he felt as if something went missing in his heart.
"Sister Yu! Why don't you leave with me!" When Qing Shui said this, he felt really fraudulent, he even felt that he sounded really powerless when he was saying this.
Yu He's body trembled: "Qing Shui, I like you, I love you. But I dislike your indecisiveness, do you understand? I would rather live widowed like this forever. When I heard what you said just now, do you know how hurt I felt?"
"Sister Yu……."
"Qing Shui, if you still have respect for me, then stop talking. I know that you more or less will no longer return to this place anymore after leaving this time. I wish you good luck and a safe journey!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Drops of translucent tears began falling down from her face.
Qing Shui stood there and blanked out for a long time. Qing Shui felt that the thing that he was worst with were things which involved feelings. The thing that he didn't understand the most was woman's hearts. For a moment, he felt really tired.
Qing Shui looked into the direction where Yu He disappeared. He didn't know what to do.
Shi Clan!
Qing Shui walked into the Shi Clan Household and immediately approached the Shi Clan Old Master.
After seeing Qing Shui, Shi Clan's Old Master was really happy. After that, he got a few people to inform Qingzhuang about Qing Shui's visit.
"What's the matter? I can tell that you are a bit unhappy." Shi Clan's Old Master chuckled and asked Qing Shui casually.
Qing Shui shook his head and smiled. He didn't want to bother Shi Clan's Old Master with the emotions he felt from Yu He.
Very quickly, Shi Qingzhuang came in. She still wore a scarlet red cloth. When she saw Qing Shui, a trace of joy flashed across her tranquil and beautiful pupils: "Qing Shui!"
Her faint smile lessened a bit of the sadness in Qing Shui's heart.
"Today, I am here to inform Old Master that I am going to move out for a period of time." Qing Shui smiled humbly.
"Move out?"
"Yeah, to Green Cloud Continent City. Today, I am here to bring Qingzhuang along." Qing Shui pulled Shi Qingzhuang who was at his side and looked at Shi Clan's Old Master.
"Hehe, going to the Green Cloud Continent? That's great. Qingzhuang, do you want to go with Qing Shui?" Shi Clan's Old Master chuckled and asked Shi Qingzhuang who was already blushing.
"Grandpa……"
"Alright, Qing Shui is a good kid. Go, Qing Shui, treat Qingzhuang nicely. This child has always been antisocial since she was young. Her attitude now is a result of her parents neglecting her. After all these years, this is the first time I have seen her treating a man like this." Shi Clan's Old Master looked at Shi Qingzhuang with a pampering gaze.
"I know, don't worry!"
"Grandpa……"
"Alright, little brat, it's not like we're not letting you come back. You can come back whenever you want, if you have time, come visit us along with Qing Shui."
"Old Master, this is for you. See it as Qingzhuang and I showing respect to you." Qing Shui took out two Xiantian Golden Pellet and passed it to Shi Clan's Old Master. Of course, it was stored in a porcelain bottle.
After leaving Shi Clan, Qing Shui and Shi Qingzhuang rushed towards Qing Clan. As for other people in Shi Clan, they didn't really meet them. Shi Qingzhuang told him that she didn't want to see the rest of them.
"Qing Shui, what was the medicine that you gave grandpa? I am really curious." Shi Qingzhuang continued to allow Qing Shui to hold her hand as she asked casually.
"Xiantian Golden Pellet!"
"Oh, it's the Xiantian Golden Pellet……" Shi Qingzhuang acted innocent as she looked at Qing Shui.
"Qing Shui, wait for me here for a while!" Shi Qingzhuang quickly rushed back to Shi Clan.
After the time taken for an incense stick to burn passed, Shi Qingzhuang came back. She looked at Qing Shui with a faint smile. There was an indescribable appeal to her smile.
"Thank you!" Shi Qingzhuang smiled sincerely.
"Do we still need to be so formal with each other?"
"Oh! Then I will thank you on my grandpa's behalf instead!"

546 - Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, Heavenly Talisman's Body Securing Talisman
This was his second time holding Yiye Jiange's hands. He did not know how to feel about it, but he did not brood on it too much.
Qing Shui would not allow himself to blaspheme the goddess in his heart…..
Although it was not late when they got back, Yiye Jiange and Luan Luan went back to their room to rest. When Qing Shui went past Mingyue Gelou's room, he remembered what had happened earlier in the day; he pushed the door and realized that it was not locked.
Qing Shui entered and heard some voices coming from the inner room. He knew that Mingyue Gelou and Yuchang had not slept yet, thus he slowly made his way in.
Qing Shui intentionally did not soften his footsteps!
"Yuchang, guess who is here." Mingyue Gelou's pleasing voice came from the room.
"Daddy's here!" Yuchang cried out happily, and then there was the sound of running. Yuchang ran out barefooted.
"Daddy!"
Qing Shui smiled as he replied. He picked up the young lass and headed towards the room. Tan Yang was dead, and everyone of the Tan Clan was dead as well. He was now their only pillar of support. Yuchang was his daughter, closer than even blood relatives. With regards to her and Luan Luan, Qing Shui wanted to love them even more……
Mingyue Gelou was sitting at the side of the bed, dressed in a nightgown. She looked at Qing Shui, smiled, and said: "Coming!"
Qing Shui found her statement quite bizarre, but he realized after careful thought that he hadn't stepped into a woman's room for quite a while now.
Qing Shui removed his shoes and carried Yuchang to bed. Little Yuchang was in the middle, while Qing Shui and Mingyue Gelou each took a side of the bed.
"Daddy, I want a bear like sister Luan Luan's, too." Little Yuchang was now about six or seven years old. Maybe she understood some things - a child had the most energy of all, after all
"Wait till you grow as big as sister Luan Luan. Daddy will catch one for you then, alright?" Qing Shui rubbed his nose, feeling guilty for lying to a child.
Following that, Qing Shui quickly took out some fun trinkets and tasty food before the young lass could get serious about it, lest he end up in an awkward position as a result.
There was no way to reason things with her!
"Has it been tough?" Qing Shui embraced Little Yuchang, who had fallen asleep, his other hand tightly holding Mingyue Gelou's soft and supple hands.
"It is not tough, not tough at all. I feel very fortunate!" Mingyue Gelou said seriously with a dignified expression; the fiery red cinnabar between her brows was very enchanting.
……
Within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal!
Qing Shui finished up circulating the Ancient Strengthening Technique, injuring his body following that to practice the Taichi Fist and Back Connecting Fist. In these three years, Qing Shui had injured his body to its utmost limits, which made for a training that yielded twice the results for half the effort.
Now Qing Shui could clearly feel the benefits of injuring his body, such as the Qi Force in his body feeling more solidified.
This way it would increase the lethality, destructiveness, and explosiveness of his attacks greatly.
The bottleneck of the Fifth Wave caused Qing Shui to not know what to do. Injuring his body and practising his past techniques was his way at grasping at straws.
Cloudmist Steps!
Having cleared the acupoints, Qing Shui's speed improved significantly, which was something eligible to be called a large breakthrough in speed.
When Qing Shui was in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he would typically brew a large amount of Plum Blossom Wine and Vermillion Fruit Wine. He also would use a period of time every day to meditate. This way, when his body was relaxed, he might have some unexpected gains.
Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint!
This was a technique that Qing Shui had been recently training. Qing Shui had a hunch that the Buddha image that appeared was not simple, but he did not know if it was a result of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint or the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm
After carefully thinking he understood it. The and were related. The training of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint was the crux of the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm.
Many complicated palm imprints struck out one after another. Their patterns looked messy and disorderly, but each had an indescribable harmony.
Qing Shui could now practice to the 399th palm in one breath. But in this period, regardless of what he tried, he could not breakthrough to the 400th palm.
Bottleneck!
Qing Shui knew that this was a bottleneck. Furthermore, his Fifth Wave had already reached the peak. In this period, even though he did not breakthrough to the 400th palm or the 6th Wave, Qing Shui was still very happy, because his skill and strength had risen by a significant amount.
As for the Blue Lotus Art, Qing Shui was still only proficient at controlling three Golden Lotus Flowers. The Basic Sword Techniques, Cloudmist Steps, and Thousand Hammer Technique had achieved an acceptable standard.
Only the Heavenly Thunder Slash was lingering at the Truth Realm, exhibiting virtually no progress. Qing Shui really wanted to breakthrough to the Obscure Realm, so that there would be a chance to paralyze the target for a split second.
After resting for a little, Qing Shui took out that thin Heavenly Talisman book, spurred on by an urgent need to learn the Body Securing Talisman.
The effects of the Body Securing Talisman could cause the target to be stuck at the original spot and not be able to move for 1 to 3 breaths of time; albeit the target would be able to move his hands to attack or defend.
If the talisman did not meet the requirements, then it would be ineffective!
Such as the Grade 1 Body Securing Talisman, Grade 2 Body Securing Talisman, Grade 3 Body Securing Talisman…… Within them exists a kind of talismanic power. This was the soul of the Heavenly Talisman and also the source by which to determine its success and might.
Aside from proficiency and talent, talisman drawing was related to personal strength. For example, even if a Xiantian cultivator was able to reach a legendary realm, he would not be able to make the talisman go beyond the 3rd grade. This was the limitation of personal strength, especially the control type of talisman.
Although the drawing of talismans was limited by his strength, there were some items that could assist, such as the Golden Calligraphy Brush and the Moonstone Ink Slab that Qing Shui used.
There were also some precious and valuable beast blood and beast skins that could raise the strength of the Heavenly Talisman's effects.
Qing Shui was already very familiar with the usage of the Body Securing Talisman; not only could it cause the target to be stuck for 1 to 3 breaths of time, it could lower the target's defense.
Qing Shui realized the perverse usefulness of the Body Securing Talisman after he saw the Diamond Gigantic Elephant exhibit the terrifying Mighty Elephant Stomp. He thought of that 30 meters long Diamond Gigantic Elephant in his sea of consciousness; one stomp from it would tear the heavens and earth apart, and many large legendary demonic beasts would be torn apart.
Qing Shui found it hard to imagine such a Mighty Elephant Stomp. If the Mighty Elephant Stomp of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant reached the Grand Perfection Stage, one stomp would be a frightening strength of 80 countries…...
If he used the Body Securing Talisman to bind the opponent first and then let the Diamond Gigantic Elephant rush up and use the Mighty Elephant Stomp, with the addition effect of ignoring defense, it would prove to be the most ideal situation possible.
The Body Securing Talisman's ignore armor effect applied to everything, not just equipment or the body but even the organs and bones.
A Grade 1 talisman would ignore 10 percent, and the duration was 1 to 3 breath of time! A Grade 2 talisman would ignore 20 percent, but there so no change in time, save for a higher probability of it lasting for 3 breaths of time. Meanwhile, the higher grade ones would pretty much be 3 breaths of time almost every time.
No wonder the Heavenly Talisman was an expensive trinket - a single breath's of time was a steep price to pay, easily becoming the death certificates of experts the higher up in grade the talismans are!
Practice!
Qing Shui only drew the first stroke because he realized that this Body Securing Talisman was different from the previous talismans. Just like the first time, it was difficult to draw.
He immersed himself in drawing till he had counted the hundred, only to continue arduously shortly after. The more he drew, the smoother it got. However, what caused Qing Shui to feel disheartened was that he could only draw a fifth of it.
If Lin Zhanhan knew that Qing Shui only took so long to draw the Body Securing Talisman to this extent, he would not know how to describe Qing Shui's abilities.
Among the Heavenly Talismans, the Godly Force Talisman, Divine Shield Talisman, Binding Talisman and Armor Break Talisman that Qing Shui drew previously were direct type talismans. They were the most basics of the entry-level talismans.They were easy to learn but had a steep learning curve, becoming unimaginably difficult towards the 3rd grade.
However, the Body Securing Talisman was the second type of talisman. Its biggest effect was in controlling the target, such as preventing him from moving for 1 to 3 breaths of time, in which they are rendered inert for the duration it lasts.
There was also the 3rd type, known as Five Elements Talismans, which used the energy from heaven and earth to make direct attacks. It was the talisman type with the most might as well as the hardest difficulty in drawing.
Descending Thunder Talisman was a Five Elements Talismans of the lightning and fire attribute!
Up until he exited the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, Qing Shui realized that the Body Securing Talisman's progress was only 50%. Using this to calculate when he would complete the Body Securing Talisman, he deduced would be half a month later!
In the morning, he practised the Taichi Fist as usual and gave pointers to the three generations of the Qing Clan; he was overall satisfied with the progress of the three generations of the Qing Clan at this point.
The last time he left, he knew that Luan Luan and Qing Bei would break through to Xiantian, especially Luan Luan. Qing Shui knew she would break through to Xiantian before 10 years old.
After breakfast, Qing Shui would ride on the Fire Bird alone and go to the Qing Village. With the Fire Bird's quick flying speed, he would arrive in Qing Village within an hour.
He descended on a hill not far away from the Qing Clan doors!
Once he entered, Qing Shui saw two old men fishing by the Qing Clan pond. Maybe because they broke through to Xiantian, Qing Shui felt that grandpa Qing Luo's complexion looked better than before.
"Grandpa, grandpa Lin!"
When Qing Shui saw these two old men, he happily cried out!
"Qing Shui, when did you come back?" Qing Luo happily stood up.
Lin Zhanhan also stood up happily; he looked extremely happy to see Qing Shui.
"I arrived at the Hundred Miles City yesterday."
The three of them chatted as they walked into a room. Since their last encounter, Qing Shui had left in a hurry, being briefly gone for half a year as opposed to his previous track record of disappearing for years at a time.
Qing Shui took out the wine from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. This kind of pure fermented wine would not harm the body and was in fact good for it.
"Grandpa, grandpa Lin!"
"Qing Shui, is there any issue? Spit it out! Why are you still being so courteous to us." Lin Zhanhan smiled as he said.
AST 547 - Their son has grown up, Yu He, Shi Clan
"Grandpa Qing, Grandpa Lin, I want to bring you two over to Green Cloud Continent!" Qing Shui smiled as he told the two old men.
Both Qing Luo and Lin Zhanhan didn't reject him straight away. They also make any promises. Instead, they looked at Qing Shui with a serious expression as if they were thinking of a way to respond to him.
"Qing Shui, it might be okay if you were the only one outside. The Qing Clan may not be a big clan, but it is still a clan that has more than a hundred members. Furthermore, the outside world isn't as good compared to the Hundred Miles City. Other than Grandpa Lin and I, there really isn't anyone else in the Qing Clan who is capable of supporting the clan." Qing Luo said gently after hesitating for a while.
"Grandpa, you don't have to feel worried about this. Didn't you always want the new generation of Qing Clan to be successful? I can just let them all join Heavenly Palace." Qing Shui chuckled. At present, he was already the Patriarch of Heavenly Palace, it would only be natural for him to let his clan members join Heavenly Palace. In fact, it's something that the Qing Clan members would really look forward to. This way, it would make them feel more secure.
"Yes indeed, I really hoped that all of the members of Qing Clan will be successful. But the problem is, will you be able to manage all of this?" Qing Luo looked at Qing Shui in doubt. After all, it was the Continent's Capital he was talking about. Furthermore, Heavenly Palace was also the strongest sect in Green Cloud Continent.
In addition, Qing Luo had looked after Qing Shui since he was a young boy. Even though Qing Shui was already really powerful, Qing Luo was still unsure about his strength as a whole. Even if he was even more powerful, he would still be a child in Qing Luo's eyes.
"Grandpa, I am the person in charge of Heavenly Palace at the moment. For now, I have the final say in everything regarding the Heavenly Palace. Mother and uncle wanted you to make up your mind. Let's put it this way, if you can promise to do as I say, I can promise you I will definitely make the entire Qing Clan stronger……"
Qing Shui looked at Qing Luo's aged face which flashed between surprise and irresolution.
"You have the final say in Heavenly Palace? How old are you? I am aware that there are a lot of elderly men in Heavenly Palace, all of them answer to you?" Qing Luo asked doubtfully after a moment of silence.
"Grandpa, age is just a number. As long as I have sufficient strength, I'm sure that they will listen to me. If you don't believe me, ask Grandpa Lin." Qing Shui smiled and glanced towards Lin Zhanhan. Qing Shui was aware that the late Old Ancestor of the Heavenly Palace had looked for Lin Zhanhan before. He was convinced that Lin Zhanhan knew about a lot of things involving him and Heavenly Palace.
All along, Lin Zhanhan had remained silent. He only stood there with a smile on his face. This was a problem of the Qing Clan. Hence, he felt unnecessary to give any suggestions.
Qing Luo only glanced towards Lin Zhanhan after hearing Qing Shui's words. As of now, it could be said that Qing Luo trusted Lin Zhanhan even more than he trusted Qing Shui. After all, Lin Zhanhan's age matched up quite well with the amount of experience which he had gained throughout his life.
Lin Zhanhan only smiled and nodded his head.
"This isn't the first time you talked about this. But, I think Grandpa Lin and I will just stay here. We are already so old, I think it's better for us to just stay here and enjoy a peaceful life." Qing Luo declined Qing Shui's request.
"You and Grandpa Lin have to come. Once you are there, if anyone were to start any business, they would still need you and Grandpa Lin to keep watch of them." Qing Shui wouldn't allow a warrior like Lin Zhanhan, who was at the pinnacle of Martial King Grade to remain in Hundred Miles City. It would be such a waste.
"Let's go to Hundred Miles City first, after arriving, we'll sit down and discuss this matter, how's that?" Qing Luo laughed embarrassingly.
"Even if grandpa doesn't believe me, at least believe in Grandpa Lin!" Qing Shui said bitterly.
"Hehe, your mother has already suffered a lot. Regarding this incident, I still hope that your mother will be the one to decide. I can help you convince her. This way, she will be able to expand her horizons towards the outside world. And also, that little Qing Bei brat." Qing Luo explained slowly as he looked at Qing Shui.
Qing Shui finally kept quiet.
Qing Shui accompanied Qing Luo and Lin Zhanhan in Qing Village for almost half a day. After that, the three of them rode the Fire Bird back to Hundred Miles City.
As of now, all the people from Qing Clan was considered to have reunited. Of course, if Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li were to be included, it would be a different story. All the original members of the clan were present.
"Today, since everyone has gathered here, let's all talk to each other about the future of the Qing Clan, I believe that everyone is already aware of what this meeting is about, I just want to go through it again." Qing Luo smiled and said.
"Where is Qing Shui? Everyone has seen it, he dedicated thousand of times more hard work than a normal person. It can almost be said that he has done something even billions of people can't accomplish. He wants to let everyone go to an even bigger and wider place to start anew.
When Qing Luo talked up to this point, he stopped. After that, he glanced towards Qing You. Everyone else remained silent and didn't say anything.
"Qing You, do you want to join Heavenly Palace? Do you want to go to Green Cloud Continent?" Qing Luo asked as he looked at Qing You with a smile.
"I don't want……" Qing You responded submissively.
"Damned brat, you with your usual tricks again, keep it to yourself. Be straightforward and answer me. Brother Qing Shui has the authority to let you into the sect. If you don't say anything, there is a high chance that he will leave you behind in Hundred Miles City." Qing Luo laughed and accused him.
"Yes, I… I am willing to……"
Qing Shui smiled as he approached him. He was holding Qing Yi's and Qing Qing's hands: "Mother, your son is all grown up, this time, he has really grown up."
It was such a simple sentence, yet it instantly left Qing Yi in tears, Qing Qing also couldn't help but tear up. The other members of Qing Clan also felt incomparably sad.
It has been so long, around ten years, ten years since the coming of age ceremony. Throughout these years, everyone in Qing Clan had known almost everything about Qing Shui's hardships through Huoyun Liu-Li and the girls. Especially the life which Qing Shui lived during the three years when he was crippled, it was something which all of them witnessed themselves.
……
Everyone from Qing Clan knew that Qing Shui would always say one phrase, "No pain, no gain".
"This time, you have really made up your mind!" Qing Yi shouted out loudly with tears of joy.
"Your son has really grown up!"
It's not the first time Qing Shui had said this, but this time, it truly made the people present feel incomparably sad. At present, Qing Shui was already twenty-seven years old.
The last time he had said this was when he just turned into an adult. After ten years, Qing Shui once again said the same thing. This time, he could finally say it proudly because he felt that he was finally qualified to say so.
"Qing Shui, when we're there, we can't just slack off like how we used to. Both your uncle and auntie, as well as myself, are no longer capable of improving our cultivation levels. However, we were already content with our achievements. Why don't we continue our medicinal business in the Green Cloud Continent?" Qing Yi smiled while looking at Qing Shui.
"Sure!" Qing Shui responded with a smile. It's not a bad idea to start a medicinal business. Not only did he have the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he had even snatched away a lot of treasures from Yan Clan Treasury, Crimson Gang, Sword Tower and Demon Beast Sect. He had collected quite a huge fortune, this way, he would be able to help expand the medicinal business of Qing Clan. After that, he could pair it up with his own Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal to get more precious and rare medicinal herbs.
Qing Shui's medicinal herbs in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal were superior in the sense that the thousand years medicinal herbs were divided into batches. Hence, Qing Shui could take out some from each and every batch. He didn't necessarily need to take out a lot of it. It was just to exchange for other precious medicines.
That was how things were decided. Qing Shui told them they would leave after three days to give them some time to pack up. On the other hand, Qing Shui was thinking of making an enormous carriage.
It's impossible for such a great quantity of people to all ride on the Fire Bird. Hence, Qing Shui set his sight on the enormous Diamond Gigantic Elephant. Since there were so many people and things, Qing Shui was thinking about how big the carriage needed to be.
As for the pulling force of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, it was not something to be worried about. As long as the carriage was tough enough, it wouldn't be a problem even if it was to pass over mountains ridges.
Qing Shui believed that he was capable of doing this.
After three days!
The people in Qing Clan couldn't believe their eyes when they saw a carriage in front of the Qing Clan's Medicinal Store.
It was more than thirty meters long, five meters wide and five meters tall. It had ten large wheels. There was barely any gap between the wheels.
The Diamond Gigantic Elephant was the most suitable one to pull this enormous carriage. The elephant itself was already ten meters long and four meters tall.
The process of making this carriage had also given Qing Shui a headache. This was because it not only had to be tough, it still needed to be able to resist shockwaves. Luckily, Qing Shui knew about springs. With Qing Shui's ability, the shock absorption function of the springs made by him would definitely be top quality.
The last thing which made Qing Shui anxious was the wheels. The axles for the wheels were already done. It's the outer rim which Qing Shui was concerned about. Qing Shui had to put the long journey into consideration. In any case, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant had insane strength, don't mention about pulling one, even pulling hundreds of these carriages wouldn't be a problem for the Diamond Gigantic Elephant.
Eventually, Qing Shui decided to use some three thousand year old Nanmu Trees to make the enormous wheels.
Qing Shui made the Diamond Gigantic Elephant pull it. After trying it a few times, he felt unusually good. It might be because he had used a lot of springs in the creation of the carriage, which in turn gave it a huge advantage. After all, Qing Shui's skills in his Ancient Art of Forging was close to perfection.
The carriage itself was made from the Quad-colour Rainbow Art of Forging and was already able to resist shockwaves to a certain extent. It also had the function of providing a speed boost. This was the bizarre part about the Ancient Art of Forging.
The carriage at the back was really large. They brought along some essential items and precious medicines from the Qing Clan's Medicinal Store. After all, it's not that there weren't any poor people in Green Cloud Continent, but there also wouldn't be any peak Martial King warriors running back and forth along the streets. Across the World of the Nine Continents, no matter where it was, all places were still mostly populated with commoners. After that would be warriors of Houtian Grade. There were only very few people who were able to achieve Xiantian Grade.
Luckily, the carriage was huge enough. Basically, they had already brought along everything that they could bring with them.
This carriage may be huge in the Hundred Miles City, but when compared to carriages in the Green Cloud Continent, it would only be considered average.
"Mother, I will be heading to the Shi Clan for a while!"
Qing Shui informed Qing Yi before leaving.
"Go, it would be best if you could bring Qingzhuang along! Don't feel hurried, if we can't make it today, there is still tomorrow. One or two days don't really matter, finish all your things first." Qing Yi answered after thinking for awhile.
"Right!"
Qing Shui took a peek at Wenren Wushuang. After such a long time, she was already like a blood-related sister to Qing Qing. It's just that she was becoming more and more distant from him. This made Qing Shui feel sad and happy at the same time.
While he was happy that she could get along well with his mother and sister, he was sad because he missed the old Wushuang.
Qing Shui greeted them. After that, he proceeded towards Shi Clan, the clan that was nominally ruling the Hundred Miles City.
Not long after he went out, Qing Shui ran into a person. For a moment, Qing Shui froze in shock. So did the person.
Yu He!
She was wearing a white and plain garment. Besides the bulging part which was supposed to bulge, she had gotten thinner, causing her to look a bit more beautiful. Her clear and attractive pupils contained a kind of unsolvable complexity.
When Qing Shui saw her, he felt a bit guilty, to the point that he even felt a bit diffident. During the two times he came back, he hadn't looked for her even once. Qing Shui didn't know if she was aware that he had come back since he hadn't visited her.
"Sister Yu! How have you been?" When Qing Shui said this, he sounded a bit unnatural.
"You are leaving again!" Yu He responded with a humble smile.
Even though she was smiling, it still made Qing Shui feel a bit uneasy and cold. For a moment, he felt as if something went missing in his heart.
"Sister Yu! Why don't you leave with me!" When Qing Shui said this, he felt really fraudulent, he even felt that he sounded really powerless when he was saying this.
Yu He's body trembled: "Qing Shui, I like you, I love you. But I dislike your indecisiveness, do you understand? I would rather live widowed like this forever. When I heard what you said just now, do you know how hurt I felt?"
"Sister Yu……."
"Qing Shui, if you still have respect for me, then stop talking. I know that you more or less will no longer return to this place anymore after leaving this time. I wish you good luck and a safe journey!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. Drops of translucent tears began falling down from her face.
Qing Shui stood there and blanked out for a long time. Qing Shui felt that the thing that he was worst with were things which involved feelings. The thing that he didn't understand the most was woman's hearts. For a moment, he felt really tired.
Qing Shui looked into the direction where Yu He disappeared. He didn't know what to do.
Shi Clan!
Qing Shui walked into the Shi Clan Household and immediately approached the Shi Clan Old Master.
After seeing Qing Shui, Shi Clan's Old Master was really happy. After that, he got a few people to inform Qingzhuang about Qing Shui's visit.
"What's the matter? I can tell that you are a bit unhappy." Shi Clan's Old Master chuckled and asked Qing Shui casually.
Qing Shui shook his head and smiled. He didn't want to bother Shi Clan's Old Master with the emotions he felt from Yu He.
Very quickly, Shi Qingzhuang came in. She still wore a scarlet red cloth. When she saw Qing Shui, a trace of joy flashed across her tranquil and beautiful pupils: "Qing Shui!"
Her faint smile lessened a bit of the sadness in Qing Shui's heart.
"Today, I am here to inform Old Master that I am going to move out for a period of time." Qing Shui smiled humbly.
"Move out?"
"Yeah, to Green Cloud Continent City. Today, I am here to bring Qingzhuang along." Qing Shui pulled Shi Qingzhuang who was at his side and looked at Shi Clan's Old Master.
"Hehe, going to the Green Cloud Continent? That's great. Qingzhuang, do you want to go with Qing Shui?" Shi Clan's Old Master chuckled and asked Shi Qingzhuang who was already blushing.
"Grandpa……"
"Alright, Qing Shui is a good kid. Go, Qing Shui, treat Qingzhuang nicely. This child has always been antisocial since she was young. Her attitude now is a result of her parents neglecting her. After all these years, this is the first time I have seen her treating a man like this." Shi Clan's Old Master looked at Shi Qingzhuang with a pampering gaze.
"I know, don't worry!"
"Grandpa……"
"Alright, little brat, it's not like we're not letting you come back. You can come back whenever you want, if you have time, come visit us along with Qing Shui."
"Old Master, this is for you. See it as Qingzhuang and I showing respect to you." Qing Shui took out two Xiantian Golden Pellet and passed it to Shi Clan's Old Master. Of course, it was stored in a porcelain bottle.
After leaving Shi Clan, Qing Shui and Shi Qingzhuang rushed towards Qing Clan. As for other people in Shi Clan, they didn't really meet them. Shi Qingzhuang told him that she didn't want to see the rest of them.
"Qing Shui, what was the medicine that you gave grandpa? I am really curious." Shi Qingzhuang continued to allow Qing Shui to hold her hand as she asked casually.
"Xiantian Golden Pellet!"
"Oh, it's the Xiantian Golden Pellet……" Shi Qingzhuang acted innocent as she looked at Qing Shui.
"Qing Shui, wait for me here for a while!" Shi Qingzhuang quickly rushed back to Shi Clan.
After the time taken for an incense stick to burn passed, Shi Qingzhuang came back. She looked at Qing Shui with a faint smile. There was an indescribable appeal to her smile.
"Thank you!" Shi Qingzhuang smiled sincerely.
"Do we still need to be so formal with each other?"
"Oh! Then I will thank you on my grandpa's behalf instead!"
