Legend of the Great Sage

Standing under a tall tower, in a deep secret room.

Li Qingshan sat cross-legged, put the smallest demon pill into his mouth, and swallowed it.

This thing won't melt like elixirs and requires a lot of effort to refine, so he delayed it until now.

Now, Dayan Talisman has finally turned a profit, and he is not afraid of expending his willpower before he can give it a try.

He secretly activated the Dayan Talisman, wishing the power to evolve into spiritual power and wrap the golden elixir, forming a dense ball of light that swelled in his belly.

Although he couldn't see inside, Li Qingshan was already familiar with the refining process. He concentrated on it and used the power with precision. He stimulated the power in every trace. If the picture was magnified, thousands of silver threads could be seen rising from the demon pill. , each one is thinner than a hair.

This should have been easy to absorb and dissolve, but this world refused to let him get what he wanted. As soon as this trace of power escaped from the demon pill, it immediately escaped and merged into the aura of heaven and earth, forming a strong shackle.

It seemed to tell him that all attempts to regain strength were in vain.

Li Qingshan had already expected it, and was not surprised that he was still stimulating the power in the demon pills. His goal was not to restore his strength with these demon pills, but to create a new power that truly belonged to him, a kind of power that was difficult to cultivate in Kyushu. The power he exerted, an opportunity he ignored.

Gu Yanying climbed up to the platform of the high tower. The mountain wind was cold and biting. This was her favorite sound, but now she had to wrap her cloak tightly and hold Kunpeng's Feather in her hand. Her cheeks were red with cold. He smiled again, imagining that one day he would transform into a Kunpeng and reach the other side of the stars.

This is her practice. Follow Li Qingshan's advice, let your thoughts be recognized by Kunpeng's Feather, and finally reach an agreement, gain inheritance, turn the eagle into a peng, and reach the ninth level!

"Maybe one day I can fly higher than that guy in the cellar!"

After an unknown amount of time, Li Qingshan finally completely refined the first demon pill. Instead of gaining any power, Li Qingshan consumed a lot of will power.

He was not discouraged either. Picked up the second demon pill. Swallow it.

Time passed bit by bit, and Li Qingshan only had one demon pill left in his hand, which was the one belonging to the White Ape King. If he failed again, he would not succeed. But all the previous efforts were wasted. There was also a trace of solemnity on his face. But my heart was full of expectations, and I clearly felt that the goal was close at hand.

…

Swords gleamed in the courtyard.

With the sound of scolding, a group of beautiful women in costumes were dancing with swords. It was the woman in red who was given the Fiery Sword by Li Qingshan. She was dressed in fiery red and stood with the sword in hand to accept the instruction.

Her real name was Yuan Feihong. After the White Ape King died, she unceremoniously removed "Yuan", leaving only the word "Feihong".

Originally, she might want to change her name to Li Feihong or Gu Feihong. Although the two village owners were kind to her, she was not willing to do so. However, she heard that the old witch wanted to change her surname shyly, but the village owner rejected it. , it’s funny to imagine her face at that time.

"Sister Feihong, do you think I practiced this move right?"

"Idiot, you have copied that book several times, how come you still don't understand such a simple move!"

"I feel dizzy and nauseous when I copy the book. How can I care about what is written in it?"

"Okay, I'll practice it again for you, watch everything carefully."

Feihong couldn't help but recall that a few days ago, the owner of the village suddenly called everyone over. She thought they were going to talk, laugh, have a banquet, and have fun, but in the end, they were asked to copy a book. In order to repay her kindness, she copied it very seriously: The Glorious Deeds of the White Ape King Except for those who have penetrated the ten pages of sword manuals, others don't have this patience.

"Hey, I would rather serve the owner of the village than copy books anymore. I'm still a little sore now!"

"Hehe, what a little Langti, I think you are eager for it!"

"I really wish that the owner of the village is so powerful and so kind to others. He is much better than that old monkey covered in fur."

"The owner of the village has a deputy owner, so he doesn't care about us!"

"Yes, I can't even think of such a beauty. It really makes me unable to even be jealous."

"But I heard that the owner and the deputy owner sleep in separate beds. What kind of relationship do you think they have?"

"I guess..."

"Shut up!"

Feihong shouted angrily, brandished his flaming sword, and cut off a large bluestone in the courtyard, "You bunch of stupid bitches, do you still remember what Hou Hongtao said? Others don't treat you as human beings, and you don't treat yourselves as human beings either. Give it to me." Practice your sword well, and if you don’t practice well, I’ll kick them off the mountain!”

"Yuan Feihong, what's so great about you? You're not the manager, so why should you tell us what to do? Do you think the owner of the village gave you a sword and you can show off your power?"

"Yes, with our looks, we can't live comfortably wherever we go. Do we really want to fight and kill like those stinky men? The White Ape King and Hou Hongtao are so powerful, why don't they be killed by others? . Yes, the wind and sun can damage the skin. This is our blessing, but some people don’t know how to cherish it.”

"Let's go, we won't practice anymore!"

The long sword fell to the ground, sparks flying and making a clanging sound.

"You... fools!" Feihong Yinya gritted his teeth.

"Huh, who is a fool if you work hard to practice swordsmanship and then kill others?"

"Are you guys leaving too?!"

"Sister Feihong, don't push us, we really are not this material. I wish you will become a peerless master soon!"

In a blink of an eye, she was the only one left in the courtyard. She was shaking with anger. She looked at the tower again, and her mood gradually calmed down. What happened to the two village owners who were in seclusion?

She always remembered that roar: "She is not a human being, so who are you?" She also always longed for that graceful, independent figure.

But thinking about what those stupid girls said, it's not entirely unreasonable. No one likes killing or being killed, and she does the same. Touching my face, it seems to have become rougher. Am I really a fool?

…

In the deep secret room, with a long sigh, Li Qingshan stood up slowly, feeling a little heavy. At the last moment, the demon elixir was exhausted, and he failed in the end. He spent a lot of will power in vain, but in the end he got nothing.

The goal that originally felt close at hand suddenly seemed to be far away and unreachable.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear failure, but he couldn't help but feel a little heavy as he walked out of the tower alone.

The bright moon in the sky has made up for its shortcomings and turned into a full moon.

Gu Yanying stood on the top of the tower, hesitating to speak. What he needed at this moment was not comfort.

The feeling of working hard but getting nothing is really unbearable, but it is even more difficult to experience it alone, because they are taking such a path. In the end, they find that all efforts and sacrifices are useless and not impossible. At that time, even a mediocre person Everyone can claim that their mediocre life is better, so what?
