Chapter 540 - 251: The Yue Family Makes a Move
"Is the old man not going to make it?" Monarch Yuehan didn’t turn his head, his tone remained as calm as ever, as if he had expected this situation all along.
"Yes."
Yue Qingwu responded.
"Jiang Tianyun, that old bastard, really is lucky as hell. Even Li Xuanxi couldn’t kill him and instead lost to Jiang Tianyun. Have we found the whereabouts of the thing?" Monarch Yuehan asked.
"Not yet, brother. I think we should ask Li Changqing about this; perhaps Li Changqing knows something." Yue Qingwu couldn’t help but say.
"What could he possibly know?"
Monarch Yuehan shook his head, "No rush, we have all the time in the world. Since that old bastard Jiang Tianyun is about to kick the bucket, you should also notify them to get ready."
"Alright."
"It’s about time for those old immortals of the Yue family to come out and stretch their legs." Monarch Yuehan said with a smile, "After so long nurturing the fruits, it’s time to harvest. No rush to find the thing; after all, sooner or later it will be mine."
"Brother, how should we handle that child Heng?" Yue Qingwu asked cautiously at this point.
"We’ll see when the time comes." Monarch Yuehan brushed off the question about Li Hengsheng, showing he didn’t really care.
Since Monarch Yuehan said so, Yue Qingwu didn’t say anything further.
When Yue Qingwu left the Eternal Prison, her figure disappeared into the night.
Cangyuan Realm has been chaotic lately. Since Yin Fengqi introduced some clients to Li Changqing, more and more people have been coming to the Evergreen Commerce Association to purchase intelligence. With the Bai Map and Zhen Wanshou at Cangyuan Pavilion, a lot of intelligence could be easily obtained.
During this time, Li Changqing also went out once and brought back a rare piece of wood based on intelligence.
To his surprise, the piece of wood turned out to be another Longevity Wood. However, this piece was smaller compared to the previous one, which was merely a section of the trunk, whereas this piece was the core of the Longevity Wood.
Li Changqing could feel that the vitality contained within it was stronger than that of the previous Longevity Wood.
With the experience from the first time, Li Changqing understood the rarity of this item, so he dared not use it recklessly.
However, Li Changqing did have an idea for this piece of Longevity Wood, so he went into seclusion for over half a month and carved a Painting Treasure from it.
When Li Changqing emerged, he showed signs of fatigue.
The complexity of this Painting Treasure carved by Li Changqing was on par with the phoenix he previously carved for Li Hengsheng.
However, Li Changqing still didn’t feel any sign of his Divine Soul stepping into the Great Freedom realm.
This left Li Changqing puzzled; his Divine Soul was already full, yet each time he absorbed the soul power through carving, it leaked out of his body afterward.
His body seemed like a sieve, always leaking the accumulated soul power, leaving him feeling as if the Great Freedom realm was within reach, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t enter it.
Li Changqing couldn’t figure it out on his own and wanted to find someone to ask, but he didn’t know any High-Level Painting Saints. Even High-Level Painting Saints might not know, as they themselves hadn’t reached the Great Freedom realm.
If anyone might know the reason, it would probably be Painting Immortal.
Gu Hanxi?
He couldn’t possibly go looking for him, right?
If they met, enemies were likely to meet with especially intense hostility, and a fight to the death would be inevitable.
Regarding the Longevity Sect, Li Changqing felt nothing but hatred.
"Mr. Changqing."
At this moment, Zhang Fuguang walked in and said to Li Changqing, "The Patriarch of the Bai family is here."
"Bai Jingfei?"
Li Changqing asked curiously, "What’s he here for? Let him in."
Not long after, Bai Jingfei walked in from outside, respectfully bowed in front of Li Changqing, and then said, "Mr. Changqing, I came once before, but upon hearing you were in seclusion, I waited for a few days."
"Is something the matter?"
Li Changqing asked, "Has something happened with the intelligence department?"
"Mr. Changqing, business with the intelligence department has been going very well lately. We’ve also received many valuable treasures at the Evergreen Commerce Association. Just half a month ago, we acquired a fine sword, which I came specifically to present to you." Having said that, Bai Jingfei took out a Sword Box from his storage ring.
Seeing Bai Jingfei with a storage ring, Li Changqing knew he must be quite wealthy now.
But when Li Changqing saw the cyan Sword Box, he showed a look of surprise. If it was truly a Divine Weapon, it would be even better. His Immortal Slaying Sword Array required four swords, but relying on swords at the Seven Cyan Lotus Swords’ level caused too much wear and tear in the array.
There was no other way.
He needed better swords to form the Immortal Slaying Sword Array.
Currently, he had a Red Phosphorus Sword, an Ultimate Sword, a Celestial Maiden Sword, and if he could obtain another fine sword, it would be perfect.
Little did anyone know, Li Changqing had been eyeing Xue Qianbai’s sword with envy during this time.
The Thousand Snow Sword, how wonderful it would be if it were his.
Xue Qianbai stayed with Li Changqing for a few days and, upon seeing Li Changqing’s unhidden greedy look, was so frightened that he ran back to Mountain Ancient Land, worried that Li Changqing would drug his wine and then claim his Thousand Snow Sword for himself.
