“Oh? The Qishan Order?” Li Changqing couldn’t help but be curious, “What does this have to do with the Qishan Order?” From Xu Muhai, Li Changqing had learned a bit about the Qishan Order.
There are three Qishan Orders in the world. They were issued by a powerful figure known as the Qishan Ghost Lord. These three orders were given to forces that had once shown kindness to the Ghost Lord, as a way for him to settle his own karma. Whoever possesses a Qishan Order can ask the Ghost Lord for a favor.
If you hold the Qishan Order, the Ghost Lord will help you. No matter what it is. Whether you want to kill someone, seek protection, or desire a certain treasure, the Ghost Lord can fulfill your wish.
It’s almost like the Dragon Balls of the Cangyuan Realm. However, the Qishan Order can be both a blessing and a curse, and it eventually ended up in the Cangyuan Realm.
Thinking of such a valuable item, Li Changqing felt some regret. He had given away such a treasure without realizing its worth.
Ignorance is truly terrifying. Even with a treasure mountain, one might not know how to use it.
“Two of the Qishan Orders have been used so far,” Xue Qianbai gazed into the distance and said, “It’s quite funny. The Qishan Order has passed through many hands, but few can protect it. In the end, the two orders were used by humans.”
“The Ghost Clan of Yunhuang has been fighting for many years, but no one has truly obtained the Qishan Order.”
“That is quite amusing.” Li Changqing also felt that it was somewhat tragic for the Ghost Clan.
“The first Qishan Order was used by the Medical King Valley, and the second was used by the current ruler of the North Cold Country, Yin Fengqi.”
“During the political upheaval in the North Cold Country, the sixth prince led an army into the royal city, plunging the entire North Cold City into war.”
“The sixth prince killed the crown prince first, then led his army into the royal court. The Qinglian Sword Sect, as the national protector, naturally took action. The disciples of the Qinglian Sword Sect fought with the army for a day and a night. Four of the Qinglian Seven Sons came, and together they killed all the experts in the sixth prince’s army.”
“Why did only four of the Qinglian Seven Sons come?” Li Changqing asked curiously.
“Four were enough,” Xue Qianbai glanced at Li Changqing, “Each of them is a grandmaster, and their strength is very strong, not weaker than Old Devil Xiang. So, four of them were enough to kill the experts in the city.”
“But that’s not right, the sixth prince isn’t a fool. Knowing he couldn’t defeat the Qinglian Seven Sons, why did he still take action?” Li Changqing felt something was off.
“The sixth prince had recruited several grandmaster-level experts, plus the experts in his army, totaling nine people. He thought he could take a gamble.”
“But at this time, no one expected that four grandmaster-level experts would defect to the fourth prince, Yin Fengqi. Yin Fengqi suddenly made his move, leading his men to kill the then emperor of the North Cold Country.” Li Changqing showed no emotion as he listened to this. Such events were all too common in history.
For the throne, fratricide and patricide were all too common. He just didn’t expect Yin Fengqi to be so calculating, with four grandmaster-level experts as his insiders.
“The experts of the Qinglian Sword Sect didn’t expect Yin Fengqi to reap the benefits of their fight. Now that the emperor was dead and the crown prince was gone, they couldn’t tolerate Yin Fengqi, who had killed the emperor, to inherit the throne, so they wanted to kill Yin Fengqi.”
“The four grandmaster-level experts tried to stop the four sons of Qinglian but failed. In the end, no one expected a terrifying figure to appear in the North Cold Country.”
“The Qishan Ghost Lord?” Li Changqing guessed that it must be the Qishan Ghost Lord who came at this time. There were only a few people who could be considered terrifying by Xue Qianbai.
“Yes, the Qishan Ghost Lord came because Yin Fengqi had obtained the Qishan Order. He had been plotting this day for a long time.”
“The four sons of Qinglian joined forces, but they were still no match and eventually died at the hands of the Qishan Ghost Lord.” Xue Qianbai said with some regret, “If all the Qinglian Seven Sons were there, they might have been able to fight the Qishan Ghost Lord. Although they had no chance of winning, there was a high probability that they could have survived.”
“The Qinglian Seven Sons, who could kill the Great Martial Sect, were actually no match for the Qishan Ghost Lord?” Li Changqing was somewhat surprised.
“It’s rumored that the Qishan Ghost Lord is also at the peak of the innate stage, the realm of the Great Martial Sect, and has not yet stepped into the realm of land immortals. But this is just a rumor, I’m not sure if it’s true or not. But there are differences between the Great Martial Sects.” Xue Qianbai explained to Li Changqing.
“I understand.”
“It’s like how Old Devil Xiang, who is also at the grandmaster level of the innate stage, couldn’t withstand your two swords. It’s the same principle.” Li Changqing said with a smile.
“After the four sons of Qinglian died, the Qishan Ghost Lord went directly to the Qinglian Sword Sect and killed the other three sons of Qinglian. Because when Yin Fengqi obtained the Qishan Order, his request to the Qishan Ghost Lord was to kill the Qinglian Seven Sons of the Qinglian Sword Sect.”
“Yin Fengqi knew very well that the Qinglian Sword Sect was loyal to the royal family of the North Cold Country. If the Qinglian Seven Sons didn’t die, he would never have a chance.”
“So, the destruction of the Qinglian Sword Sect can also be said to be because of this Qishan Order.” Xue Qianbai said, “The Qinglian Seven Sons have become a thing of the past. Although the current North Cold Country no longer has the Qinglian Sword Sect, it is still very powerful.”
“There are two grandmasters in the royal family, each of them is very remarkable.”
“Does that include Zhao Beiming?” Li Changqing asked.
“Yes, he’s one of them, but he doesn’t like to be in the royal court. He prefers to be a leisurely general outside the court.” At this point, the small boat had traveled quite a distance and they could already see the lights on the opposite shore.
After leaving Hongliu Alley with Xue Qianbai, Li Changqing found a luxurious inn in the inner city. Since he hadn’t spent any money on shopping before, Li Changqing still had eight million taels of silver on him.
So, he directly booked a quiet courtyard in the inn. It had everything, even maid service.
But he sent them all away. After all, he had secrets on him that he couldn’t let others know.”Clang.” He took out a strange box from the Acceptance of Rings, throwing it onto the ground. The box made a dull sound, as if it contained something extremely heavy.
“Can you really open this box?” Xue Qianbai looked at Li Changqing with doubt. This was something that even the Mingxing Palace and the Sima family couldn’t open.
“If I’m not mistaken, I should be able to,” Li Changqing said, starting to fiddle with the large box.
Li Changqing kept twisting the squares on the box, and the symbols on each square were constantly changing.
“The Sima family once tried to make all the symbols on each side the same, but they failed,” Xue Qianbai understood Li Changqing’s intention.
“They’re just stupid,” Li Changqing laughed. At first glance, the box was clearly a Rubik’s cube.
In his previous life, Li Changqing had played with Rubik’s cubes. He might not be able to solve a four-layer cube, but he could handle a regular three-layer one.
People in this world had never played with Rubik’s cubes and didn’t know that there was a specific algorithm to solve them. How could they possibly succeed?
At the same time, Li Changqing admired the person who made this box. They were able to create a Rubik’s cube, which was quite impressive.
However, this was the first time Li Changqing had played with such a large Rubik’s cube. He kept twisting it, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Xue Qianbai lost interest after a while and sat down at the stone table in the courtyard. He took out a pot of wine from the cellar and slowly drank it.
Looking at the bright moon in the sky, he seemed to be inviting the moon to join him for a drink. After about half an hour, Li Changqing finally turned the last side!
“Click.” A crisp sound, and Li Changqing knew he had succeeded.
“Did it really open?” Xue Qianbai, who had been drinking wine, turned his head, his eyes clearly filled with surprise.
The treasure box that had troubled the Sima family and the Mingxing Palace was actually opened by Li Changqing. Xue Qianbai had to admit that Li Changqing was indeed a remarkable person.
After the box made a clicking sound, the wooden pieces slowly spread out. The mechanism inside looked very intricate, and the box slowly unfolded.
Xue Qianbai walked over with his wine, curiously looking at it. Li Changqing was also quite excited. Slowly, when all the pieces of the box had spread out, what appeared in front of Li Changqing was another wooden box!
“Is this… a nesting doll?” Li Changqing took out the wooden box hidden inside. The wood of this box surprised Li Changqing as soon as he touched it.
The wood of this box was astonishing. It seemed to have a suppressing effect, as if it was suppressing something inside the box.
Moreover, Li Changqing suddenly felt that this wooden box was not a pure wooden box, it was more like… a case.
Looking closely, there were tiny patterns on it, as if there were also mechanisms. On the top of the case, there was a round button. Li Changqing reached out and pressed it directly.
Another click, and the case automatically unfolded! In an instant, an astonishing sword intent burst out from the wooden case. Seven different sword intents intertwined, creating a storm-like effect, causing the wooden case to tremble violently!
Li Changqing was startled. When the wooden case opened, there were seven long swords inside, spread out like a folding fan.
The seven swords crisscrossed, and the sound of the swords was like a hundred birds chirping!
“The swords of the Seven Sons of the Green Lotus!” At this moment, Xue Qianbai couldn’t believe it. After the Seven Sons of the Green Lotus died, their swords all disappeared. Everyone thought that the swords of the Seven Sons of the Green Lotus must have been collected by Yin Fengqi and stored in the royal treasury. They didn’t expect that these seven swords were all in this sword case.
“Suppress.” With a single word, Xue Qianbai stepped forward and gently pressed his palm against the seven swords. The seven swords, which had been extremely restless, suddenly calmed down at the touch of Xue Qianbai’s aura.
Xue Qianbai’s own sword intent made the seven swords submit instantly.
“These are the seven swords of the Seven Sons of the Green Lotus?” Li Changqing’s eyes lit up at this moment. The blind box he opened was really worth it!
“Yes.” Xue Qianbai also took a deep breath. These seven swords were all good things on the Divine Weapon List!
“The Seven Sons of the Green Lotus, the seven swords were made from seven different rare elemental ores. Each sword is on the Divine Weapon List. Although they are not ranked very high, when the seven swords are together, they are invincible,” Xue Qianbai waved his hand, and in an instant, a golden sword flew out of the sword case and plunged directly into the ground.
This sword was golden and gave people a sense of endless sharpness.
“This sword, Jing Lan, is ranked 82nd on the Divine Weapon List.” He waved his hand again, and a dark green long sword flew out. This sword gave Li Changqing a sense of tranquility.
“This sword, Qing Liu, is ranked 84th on the Divine Weapon List.” Buzz! A deep blue long sword flew out.
“This sword, Shi Yu, is ranked 77th on the Divine Weapon List.” A fiery red long sword, its sword intent seemed to be burning with raging flames.
“This sword, Yan Que, is ranked 74th on the Divine Weapon List.” Another black sword flew out. This sword gave Li Changqing a sense of heavy stability.
“This sword, Ruo Chen, is ranked 85th on the Divine Weapon List.” The last two swords flew out together. One was like it could tear through the void, with a green hilt that seemed to carry a breeze, and the other was a purple sword body that seemed to traverse the dark night, with a dull thunderous sound in its sword cry.
“These two swords, Zhou Shan and Shun Kong, are ranked 91st and 94th on the Divine Weapon List respectively.” Looking at the seven swords standing in front of him, even Xue Qianbai couldn’t help but sigh.
The seven divine swords are still here today, but the swordsmen of the past are gone.
“What powerful swords.” Li Changqing’s feelings were quite complicated at this moment. The swords of the once world-dominating Seven Sons of the Green Lotus were all in this sword case. How did they end up in the sword case?At this moment, Li Changqing noticed a deep hole above the sword box. Out of curiosity, he reached out and pulled something from the hole.
“A scroll…” He pulled out a painting from inside. Upon opening it, Li Changqing found that it was a painting of a green lotus.
The green lotus had seven petals. The entire painting carried an aura of solemn killing intent, its presence overwhelming.
It was as if the green lotus itself could kill.
“So this is the ‘Seven Killings Green Lotus Painting’ that everyone wants. I didn’t expect it to be hidden in this sword box. It seems that this item is indeed a treasure of the Qinglian Sword Sect.” Xue Qianbai, upon seeing the ‘Seven Killings Green Lotus Painting’, could also feel the rolling killing intent emanating from the green lotus painting.
“The ‘Seven Killings Green Lotus Painting’ plus the seven swords of the Seven Sons of Qinglian, they should fetch a good price, right?” Li Changqing pondered aloud.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qianbai, who was drinking, almost choked. If anyone else got these seven swords and the ‘Seven Killings Green Lotus Painting’, the first thing they would think about would probably be becoming invincible.
However, what Li Changqing was thinking about was whether he could make a fortune? With this coveted treasure right in front of him, all Li Changqing could think about was exchanging it for money?
“Have you gone mad from poverty?” Xue Qianbai couldn’t help but ask.
“This thing is of no use to me, I don’t know how to use it, and I can’t find seven people to use these seven swords, so why keep it?” Li Changqing looked at the seven swords, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he murmured, “But now that you mention it…” Li Changqing lifted his fingers, and the seven swords trembled instantly, then all flew up, circling around Li Changqing.
