A partnership of great wealth?
Li Che raised an eyebrow and glanced at Li Qingshan.
He smelled an unusual significance to this. A partnership of great wealth would likely be to his taste, for the title had changed, from “Li Che, the kid” to “Bull Demon,” indicating that the partnership of great wealth Li Qingshan spoke of was meant for the identity of the Bull Demon, not Li Che himself.
Li Che could roughly guess which aspect Li Qingshan wanted to cooperate with the Bull Demon on.
He took a sip of hot tea, chewing on the emerald green tea leaves that entered his mouth, the bitter taste spreading and overflowing on the tip of his tongue.
Li Che smiled and said, “Elder, speak straightforwardly, what great wealth are we talking about? I’m very interested.”
Wealth, who wouldn’t be interested?
The current Li Che was in desperate need of resources. If he could get a few more Eight Extremes Divine Crystals and Nine Luminaries Martial Pills, not to mention the wealth of martial arts secrets, it would be more than wonderful.
Li Qingshan also squinted at Li Che.
Honestly, the shock Li Che brought him was no less than that of Xi Xi’s Bone Tempering at the age of three.
After all, Li Che had only been cultivating for three years so far, and the time he spent truly stepping onto the martial path and beginning Essence Cultivation was almost identical to the time it took for Xi Xi to achieve Bone Tempering Great Achievement.
A twenty-two-year-old Spirit Child who went from a novice in the martial path, through Skin Refinement, to being capable of killing a Grandmaster within three years.
How terrifying was that?!
This talent, translated into the real value of a Spirit Child, meant that a Spirit Child could kill a Grandmaster at the age of three!
Compared with that, Li Che’s daughter Xi Xi didn’t seem so monstrous after all.
Of course, Li Qingshan knew this wasn’t a fair comparison.
But what was undeniable was the terrifying talent of father and daughter, Li Che and Li Nuanxi!
Li Qingshan pondered deeply but couldn’t fathom the reason, as it seemed illogical…
It made sense for Xi Xi, as a monstrous father’s daughter could be monstrous too.
But why was Li Che himself so monstrously talented?
Was it a bloodline inheritance? A late bloomer?
Before, Li Che was nothing but a country boy!
He worked as a laborer in a wood carving shop, earning a hard-knock life with a daily wage of dozens of Da Jing Tong Cast Copper Coins.
How could he achieve a reversal of fortune overnight?
Could it be… that there truly is an epiphany in this world that enables one to soar to the heavens like a Kunpeng spreading its wings?
It could only be said that perhaps Li Che had received the inheritance of a great master.
Li Qingshan was not interested in these matters. Each person had their fortune, and he would not covet what was others’. Li Qingshan had his own opportunities as well.
Li Qingshan retracted his strange gaze and took a deep breath: “Bull Demon…”
“I am aware of your actions since you arrived in the Mansion City, and I can only say… well killed!”
“The forces in Mansion City are a mixed bag, each with its own agenda. They needed a good killing, it terrifies them and prevents them from always getting cocky and causing trouble.”
Li Qingshan sipped his tea and sneered.
“Your killing of the Sha Yu Gang and its affiliate forces, they are all connected to the Corpse God Cult… No need to discuss what the Sha Yu Gang is composed of.”
“Jing Wudao has placed his treasures on the Corpse God Cult, planning to be the pioneer for the Corpse God Cult to enter Golden Light Prefecture, hoping to gain great benefits in the future, and even obtain the method to refine oneself into a ‘Cursed Copper Corpse,’ to elevate his body to the level of ‘Cursed Copper Corpse.’
Li Che’s heart trembled slightly: “Cursed Copper Corpse?”
He had activated Ascending Stance, relying on Temple God Chess Pieces to erupt with the power to kill a Cursed Iron Corpse, but the enemy’s toughness was already beyond his imagination.
How terrifying would a Cursed Copper Corpse be?
Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes: “Cursed Copper Corpse is not ordinary. Even a Low Grade Cursed Iron Corpse possesses the strength of a Grandmaster, and if it’s of the highest quality, it can even rival a Grandmaster at Perfection, and be even more difficult to deal with because they have unparalleled bodies, neither dying nor feeling pain, like the most perfect warriors.
And once a Cursed Copper Corpse is achieved, it can be comparable to a Great Grandmaster!”
“Great Grandmaster?!”
Li Che took a deep breath.
In the Qi and Blood Martial Path, after Channel Opening comes True Qi Grandmaster, and by Condensing the Martial Arts True Intent and blending it into oneself, the perfect fusion of True Intent and qi and blood forms an even more powerful True Qi for killing.
And a Great Grandmaster, in turn, condenses Divine Gang, which is even more frightening, possessing the power to move mountains and split rivers with every action!
“Right, Master of Divine Gang… These are the martial arts experts who have enlightened their own Martial Path and pondered the true intent of heaven and earth. Each Great Martial Arts Master, even without the aid of Divinity, can easily withstand the Divine Majesty from a Great Cultivator of Divine Element and escape with their lives effortlessly.”
“Any Great Grandmaster, even without cultivating Divinity, can dominate a region, become a magnate, have no fear of a Divine Minister, and even easily defeat the other party.”
“Ordinarily, equating martial arts to Divine Cultivation, a pure Master of Divine Gang is roughly equivalent to a top-level Divine Symbol Cultivator. As for comparing with a Divine Element True Person, it would be significantly weaker.”
“After all, to become a Divine Element True Person… the body must also Condense Divine Gang, reaching the Great Master Realm.”
“Without becoming a Great Grandmaster, one cannot become a true person.”
Li Qingshan said softly, his eyes flickering with both yearning and pursuit.
“Unless one attains the Unity of Heaven and Man among the Great Grandmasters, only then can one rely purely on martial arts to battle with a Divine Element True Person.”
Pure Qi and Blood Martial Path, clashing with a Divine Element True Person!
Such a realm, how sweeping and inspiring, inevitably making one’s heart race with excitement.
“Of course, in today’s age, pure Great Martial Arts Masters are extremely rare, and most will cultivate some form of Divinity, after all, using Divinity to comprehend the heavens makes it much easier.”
Li Qingshan started to laugh, his eyes carrying a hint of melancholy.
“Purely reaching the realm of a Great Grandmaster through one’s own enlightenment is few and far between.”
He snapped back to the present, looked at Li Che, and returned to the main topic.
