Ch 112: Everything Will Pass
“Yun Po became Emperor?”
Hearing this news, Li Hanzhou was quite surprised.
Li Hanzhou thought that Yun Qing would definitely become Emperor in the end, but this kid didn’t make it either. In the end, Second Brother ascended to the throne.
Since Second Brother ascended, Yun Qing’s outcome is predictable; he’s likely in grave danger.
“The Divine Palace and Great Zhou have always been at odds. The Divine Palace would never agree to Great Zhou’s demands, so three months ago, the Divine Palace and Great Zhou went to war again.” Li Changshou explained to Li Hanzhou.
“They’re fighting again.”
Thinking back to the scenes he witnessed in Lingyan City, Li Hanzhou sighed softly.
It is always the commoners who suffer.
This is not something Li Hanzhou wants to see, but there is nothing he can do; it’s not something he alone can solve.
Yun Qianzhu stayed to take care of Li Hanzhou and continued to tell him about the events that had taken place in Jianghu over the past three years.
“Qianzhu, in three years, you’ve actually entered the Transcendent Realm.”
Seeing Yun Qianzhu’s cultivation level, Li Hanzhou was very pleased. Yun Qianzhu’s aptitude is excellent; reaching the Transcendent Realm in three years is indeed considered genius.
Li Hanzhou had also taken a brief look before.
Shi Ming, with his Innate Stone Vein, cultivates extremely slowly. Three years have passed, and his cultivation level is still only at the Fourth Rank Realm.
Liu Dongyue is slightly better, but he has only barely reached the Seventh Rank Realm.
Zhou Qianlin’s cultivation level has reached Ninth Rank, and he is only one step away from Transcendence.
Yun Qianzhu, who was originally the weakest in cultivation, has surpassed everyone else, becoming the first disciple to reach the Transcendent Realm.
“Many outstanding disciples from various sects have already reached the Transcendent Realm,” Yun Qianzhu said with a smile. “Most of those disciples who came to the sect to challenge Second Senior Brother have already entered the Transcendent Realm, such as Lu Tianxing from the Grand Profound Sacred Land, and the Immortal of Unfeeling from the Valley of Unfeeling, Shen Zong’ao and others. They are all now in the Transcendent Realm and have embarked on Jianghu training. They have already established their own names in Jianghu and are very powerful.”
“That’s indeed impressive.”
Li Hanzhou nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, “Qianzhu, haven’t you gone out for Jianghu training? I remember that every sect’s disciples must undergo Jianghu training after reaching the Transcendent Realm in cultivation. Your cultivation level also meets the qualifications.”
“Your Senior Brother went down the mountain to exorcise demons when he was only at the Sixth Rank cultivation level.”
Hearing Li Hanzhou’s words, Yun Qianzhu pursed her lips and then shook her head.
Seeing that Yun Qianzhu didn’t speak, Li Hanzhou didn’t ask further.
After nightfall,
Yun Qianzhu went back to cultivate, while Shi Ming came over with a basin of water to wash Li Hanzhou’s feet.
Seeing Shi Ming’s seemingly unchanged appearance, Li Hanzhou knew that Shi Ming was still the same Shi Ming, the somewhat simple-minded but innocent child.
“Shi Ming, I brought the Spring of Immortality out from the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone. After my body recovers in a couple of days, I will personally go to Medicine King Valley to find Sun Yaoxian to refine the Meridian Expansion Pill for you,” Li Hanzhou said, feeling Shi Ming diligently washing his feet.
“Thank you, Martial Uncle,” Shi Ming said earnestly. “Martial Uncle, I don’t care whether I’m strong or weak, whether I can cultivate or not. I just hope that Martial Uncle won’t go to such dangerous places next time.”
“Good.”
Li Hanzhou could see that Shi Ming felt a little guilty because Shi Ming always thought that Li Hanzhou’s three-year coma was due to his trip to the Tianxuan Forbidden Zone to find the Spring of Immortality for him.
Therefore, Shi Ming had been very self-reproachful for the past three years.
Facing the unconscious Li Hanzhou, he could do nothing, only chopping wood desperately every day and diligently practicing the Tai Chi Fist that Li Hanzhou had taught him.
“Where’s your Master?”
Li Hanzhou used his Divine Soul to sense and found that Li Changshou was not in the Longevity Temple.
“Went to work.”
Shi Ming replied.
“Huh?”
Li Hanzhou was stunned.
Work?
“Um,” Shi Ming nodded, saying, “The money Master left behind ran out a year ago. The Longevity Temple ran out of money, and because of the recent war between the two countries, prices have soared, and even exorcism jobs are hard to find. We couldn’t earn money, so Master had to go out to work.”
“Where does your Master… work?”
Li Hanzhou’s eyes widened.
“Hundred Flowers Residence.”
Shi Ming said naturally, “Master is now the top courtesan of the Hundred Flowers Residence.”
“Pfft!”
Li Hanzhou almost choked on his own saliva.
Li Changshou, the dignified Sect Master of the Longevity Temple, went to the Hundred Flowers Residence to work as a courtesan?
But after calming down, Li Hanzhou couldn’t blame Li Changshou.
Before, with Li Changshou, a powerful expert, in the Longevity Temple, they could still earn some money to live on, but now that Li Changshou has been reborn and lost his cultivation, it’s difficult to maintain it.
“Qianzhu didn’t go out for training because of this as well, right?” Li Hanzhou asked slowly.
“Yes, Junior Sister said that Martial Uncle hadn’t woken up, and Master had lost his cultivation. Only she is in the Transcendent Realm in the entire Longevity Temple. If there’s any danger, the sect can’t be left unguarded.”
“Martial Uncle offended many people before, and even killed people from the Blood Sacrifice Pavilion. Junior Sister was worried that they would come to seek revenge at this time, so she didn’t go anywhere.”
As Shi Ming spoke, he clenched his fists with some dissatisfaction.
“Ultimately, it’s because I, as the senior brother, am too useless.”
“I can’t help at all.”
Seeing Shi Ming’s self-blame, Li Hanzhou’s gaze softened. He gently placed his hand on Shi Ming’s head, stroked his hair, and smiled, “Don’t be so self-blaming. Who says you can’t help? You chopped all the firewood in the Longevity Temple, and you carried all the water. You are diligent and hardworking. With you here, we don’t have to worry about many things, don’t we?”
“It’s also because of you that Little Qianzhu could cultivate peacefully and achieved his current realm. So, Little Qianzhu’s progress also includes your efforts.”
Hearing Li Hanzhou’s words, Shi Ming felt a little better, but his eyes were still red.
He could actually see that Yun Qianzhu was very happy the day she broke through to the Transcendent Realm. She also longed for Jianghu and wanted to go out and explore.
The Immortal of Unfeeling, Lu Tianxing, Fang Beixian—these young strong people in Jianghu have all made names for themselves, and she naturally envied them.
However, due to the situation at home—those who are disabled, those who are injured—Yun Qianzhu could only stay at home to protect them.
“Martial Uncle, you rest first,” Shi Ming wiped Li Hanzhou’s feet dry and was about to take the water out.
“Shi Ming.”
Li Hanzhou suddenly called Shi Ming.
“Martial Uncle, what is it?” Shi Ming turned around and asked curiously.
“Don’t worry.”
Li Hanzhou smiled, “Now that I’m awake, everything is over.”
