The figure was somewhat thin, dressed in patched clothes, yet he exuded an air of pride and dignity.

Even from a distance, Li Hengsheng couldn’t see the man’s face, but he could sense a certain tenacity and determination emanating from him.

Even a kind of courage that was ready to stake everything!

Li Hengsheng knew that this man was the author of the painting.

Judging from his Divine Soul aura, this man was indeed a high-level Painter.

Boom!

The ground seemed to be falling, each thunderclap causing the stones on the ground to tremble violently, as if shaking the heavens and the earth.

Li Hengsheng watched this scene in shock, the myriad of thunder snakes ready to devour everything, some even striking near the figure.

The ground instantly shattered into a deep pit.

The power was evident.

Li Hengsheng was greatly shocked. This Painter was actually painting in such an environment, with countless thunderbolts hanging above his head like numerous suspended blades. Wasn’t that seeking death?

Even a high-level Painter, if struck by heavenly thunder, would have little chance of survival, right? It was entirely possible to be reduced to ashes.

However, despite the extreme danger, the figure remained upright, his brush constantly sketching on the paper, directly capturing the chaotic dance of the thunder in the sky.

Each stroke was like the descent of a god.

This scene left Li Hengsheng stunned for a long time.

With each stroke, Li Hengsheng’s heart beat in sync, as if the rhythm of the brush and his heartbeat had become one.

He didn’t know how long he had been watching, time flew by. Li Hengsheng only knew that the countless thunderbolts seemed to be slowly getting angry, angry at the mortal below who dared to challenge them, who still didn’t retreat despite numerous warnings, and continued to paint!

The thunder eventually gathered in the sky, transforming into a sea of thunder that tilted down in an instant.

It seemed to want to devour the entire world.

At this moment, the Painter finally completed his painting. The entire painting was instantly filled with golden light, exuding a vast aura of heaven and earth.

He let out a long howl, a shout filled with indescribable excitement!

The next moment, his Divine Soul broke through the sky, instantly breaking free from its shackles, reaching a higher level. This time, his soul seemed to be purified, and he became ethereal, as if he had entered into the heavens and the earth.

“He has broken through to become a Painting Sage!”

Li Hengsheng was greatly shocked at this scene.

This painting directly allowed this high-level Painter to break through to become a Painting Sage?

But just as he became a Painting Sage, the endless thunder swallowed him completely. The whole world was plunged into daylight, and Li Hengsheng was blinded by the lightning.

At the same time, the aura of the Painting Sage also dissipated in the heavens and the earth, leaving no trace.

Li Hengsheng widened his eyes. He didn’t expect a newly promoted Painting Sage, before his name could be known to the world, before his fame could shake the world, to die in this sea of thunder.

What was left was only that painting!

At this moment, Li Hengsheng finally understood why he felt that this painting was not painted by a high-level Painter. Because this painting was between a high-level Painter and a Painting Sage, this painting witnessed the birth of a Painting Sage.

Unfortunately, this painting was the last work of this Painting Sage in his life.

No one knew that he had broken through to become a Painting Sage, his name was only known as a high-level Painter. For a moment, Li Hengsheng felt a sense of sadness in his heart. This feeling of sadness lingered for a long time. Li Hengsheng didn’t know whether it was because of the fall of the Painting Sage or because he was reminded of his own father at this moment.

At the same time, Li Hengsheng also understood that if this painting was painted by a Painting Sage, it would not be possible to buy it for a million taels of silver. The price of this painting would definitely be a priceless treasure.

Li Hengsheng couldn’t help but sigh. A generation of Painting Sage had fallen just like that. Even if they were as strong as the land immortals, they could still be killed. What was at the end of cultivation?

But looking at the endless sea of thunder, Li Hengsheng also had a feeling. The sound of thunder exploding in his ears, each roar of the silver snake deeply imprinted in Li Hengsheng’s mind. Li Hengsheng was completely immersed in this painting.

Thousand Feet Thunderbolt.

If Yang Tiantian and Xu Kui knew that the painting they bought yesterday, Li Hengsheng just looked at it for a while and was able to comprehend something from it, they would be dumbfounded. They had never seen such a high level of comprehension for a painting.

It wasn’t until the evening that Li Hengsheng finally opened his eyes in the room. He had been contemplating this painting for so long!

However, as Li Hengsheng opened his eyes, a flash of lightning arc flashed in his eyes, as if the Thousand Feet Thunderbolt was contained in his pupils!

This “Thousand Feet Thunderbolt” really benefited Li Hengsheng a lot.

Just by contemplating it once, Li Hengsheng had comprehended the Martial Arts he needed.

Thunderbolt Dash!

For Li Hengsheng, this was more suitable for him compared to the famous Snow Feather Zen Wind Mantra or the Long Xuan Eight Directions Step in the Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

Even this method might not be suitable for others.

Because the explosiveness of the Thunderbolt Dash was very strong.The method he was practicing and the Overlord Immortal Spear technique shared a similar ingeniousness. Firstly, they both required a strong physical body, and secondly, they tested the body’s recovery ability. It could be said that it perfectly matched Li Hengsheng’s Sun-Moon Immortal-Demon Divine Body.

The explosive power could make Li Hengsheng’s movements faster.

In Li Hengsheng’s view, if he could combine this with the Overlord Immortal Spear, it would take his Overlord Immortal Spear technique to a higher level.

Standing up, Li Hengsheng took a deep breath, circulated the internal energy in his body, and prepared to give it a try. Due to the small size of the room, he headed towards the door for a short-distance experiment.

“Whoosh!”

With a movement, the sound of thunder exploded.

Li Hengsheng’s figure appeared at the door, a dozen meters away from his original position, as if he had teleported.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed as Li Hengsheng’s head directly hit the door.

The entire door was almost knocked open by Li Hengsheng.

“Ouch, that hurts.”

Li Hengsheng rubbed his head in confusion.

Although the technique had strong explosive power and speed, the inertia also became particularly large. If he didn’t adapt well, it wouldn’t be very useful.

“What was that noise just now?” At this moment, Yang Tiantian and Xu Kui both ran over, thinking that Li Hengsheng had been attacked.

“It’s nothing, sister. I accidentally bumped into the door,” Li Hengsheng quickly explained.

“Bumped into the door?” Yang Tiantian was stunned. How could such a big man bump into a door?

Li Hengsheng didn’t mention that he was experimenting with his footwork, otherwise, wouldn’t he be a laughingstock?

“Sister, don’t worry, I’m fine,” Li Hengsheng quickly said. “Uncle Xu, don’t look at me like that. It was really an accident.”

“Oh.” With a doubtful look on her face, Yang Tiantian finally walked away.

Xu Kui didn’t say anything either.

Li Hengsheng thought it would be better to wait until he returned to Dao Mountain Ancient Land to practice properly.

Otherwise, if he practiced here, it would cause too much commotion.

If he bumped into the door again, it would be a bit difficult to explain. He couldn’t possibly say that he was practicing some kind of iron head skill.

Moreover, for this technique, he also needed to practice controlling his internal energy. Li Hengsheng glanced at the place where he had just performed the technique. The green bricks under his feet had already shattered. The force was too great when he performed it, and the ground could hardly bear it.

Consuming too much internal energy was not beneficial. Precision was what he needed to pursue.

Otherwise, when you fight with the enemy, before you can react, the enemy hears the sound first, turns around and hits you in the face, wouldn’t that be awkward?

Learning is one thing, mastering is another.

His Overlord Immortal Spear and Nine True Spear techniques were now quite proficient.

If he could master this technique, his strength could reach a higher level. Previously, Pavilion Master Li Jinsong of the Floating Image Pavilion wanted Li Hengsheng to comprehend the unique skill of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, “Five Absolute Seals”, but Li Hengsheng refused.

The “Five Absolute Seals” was indeed powerful, but at that time, Li Hengsheng was more engrossed in spear techniques, so he couldn’t spare the time.

Li Hengsheng also thought that he would consider practicing the “Five Absolute Seals” after reaching the Prenatal Realm. After all, if he didn’t reach the Prenatal Realm, he couldn’t perform the second level of the “Five Absolute Seals”.

He could only perform the first level of the Divine Step, Immortal, and Thousand-Weight Force.

These three states were very useful for other disciples, but not so much for Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng’s body was strong, and his power was even stronger. The addition of Immortal and Thousand-Weight Force wouldn’t increase much. Now that he had this technique, he didn’t need the help of the Divine Step.

So Li Hengsheng would rather focus his energy elsewhere.

The next morning.

Just as dawn was breaking, someone from the Changqing Trading Company arrived.

They informed Li Hengsheng that all the goods had been prepared and loaded onto the carts, and they wanted Li Hengsheng to come and inspect them.

“That was quick.”

Li Hengsheng originally thought it would be ready by noon or evening, but the earlier it was ready, the sooner he could return.

“What’s the rush? Master Li hasn’t had breakfast yet.” Min Min saw the visitor and said, “Wait outside.”

“Yes.” The visitor obviously knew that the person inside was not to be trifled with, so he obediently waited outside.

But Li Hengsheng didn’t feel right about it. Moreover, the visitor said that Yan Leisheng was already waiting in the trading company. If the president of the trading company had already arrived and he was still at home eating, wouldn’t that be too presumptuous?

So Li Hengsheng, along with Yang Tiantian and Xu Kui, headed straight for the Changqing Trading Company.

At the entrance of the Changqing Trading Company, ten large carts were already prepared.

All ten carts had the flag of the Cangyuan Escort Agency.

“Tie them up tightly!” Yan Leisheng personally supervised as his men carefully tied the goods to the carts.

At this time, Li Hengsheng and the others also arrived.

“Master Li!”

Yan Leisheng ran over to greet them, then personally lifted the curtain of the cart for Li Hengsheng.

This surprised many merchants who came to the Changqing Trading Company to buy goods.

Wasn’t that Yan Leisheng, the president of the Changqing Trading Company?”That’s a big shot, who wouldn’t be polite to him in Path Mark City these days? Moreover, the Changqing Trading Company is backed by the Qinglian Sword Sovereign. Even if people from some major sects come, Yan Leisheng would not be so obsequious.

“He actually pulled a cart for that young man, what is his identity?”

“A disciple from Dao Mountain Ancient Land.”

“Really? But the Changqing Trading Company doesn’t need to be so polite to Dao Mountain Ancient Land, right?” The crowd was somewhat puzzled.

“Chairman Yan, thank you.” Li Hengsheng got off the carriage and saw that all the goods had been loaded. He was also somewhat surprised at Yan Leisheng’s speed.

“What’s there to thank? It’s my duty, Mr. Li.” Yan Leisheng said with a smile.

“Chairman, Mr. Li came before having his meal, you really arranged this a bit early.” Min Min frowned and said from the side.

“Huh?”

Yan Leisheng was startled and quickly said, “My fault, my fault. I shouldn’t have called Mr. Li so early. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t had breakfast, we have breakfast here. Min Min, please arrange it quickly.”

“No need, it’s okay if I don’t eat.” Li Hengsheng quickly refused. Since the goods were already loaded, it was best to return to Dao Mountain Ancient Land as soon as possible.

Yan Leisheng was too polite, so polite that he could hardly bear it.

“Mr. Li, it’s not about being polite.” Yan Leisheng quickly said, “You don’t know, our Changqing Trading Company is launching a new product today, called Orleans Roasted Chicken. We are still trying it out, so we also wanted to invite Mr. Li to taste it and give some advice.”

“Orleans what roasted chicken?” Li Hengsheng had never heard such a strange name.

“Orleans Roasted Chicken.”

“Mr. Li, please come in.” Yan Leisheng made a gesture of invitation.

Li Hengsheng looked at Yang Tiantian, and Yang Tiantian also smiled and said, “Don’t refuse their kindness, Mr. Li.”

Seeing Yang Tiantian also teasing him, Li Hengsheng smiled and then walked in.

It was still the most luxurious VIP room, where Min Min had already prepared a variety of breakfasts, filling a whole table.

At this time, Yan Leisheng also brought up the Orleans Roasted Chicken.

Looking at this roasted chicken, Li Hengsheng felt it was no different from other roasted chickens, but when he leaned in to smell it, he could detect a special fragrance that he had never smelled before.

“Mr. Li, please taste it.” Yan Leisheng personally tore off a chicken leg for Li Hengsheng.

Li Hengsheng took it and took a bite.

The next moment, Li Hengsheng’s eyes lit up.

This was the first time he had tasted such a flavor!

A very special fragrance was marinated into the chicken meat, which was particularly stimulating to the taste buds, making people want to take a second bite after the first. In addition to the special fragrance, there was also a sweetness.

Although each flavor was not pure, they were perfectly matched when combined.

“This thing is really delicious.”

Li Hengsheng didn’t expect it.

“Let me try.” Yang Tiantian also broke off a chicken wing.

“Uncle Xu, you try.” Li Hengsheng broke off another chicken wing and handed it to Xu Kui. Xu Kui took it and took a bite, also showing an appreciative expression.

This taste was really different from the roasted chicken they usually ate.

“Chairman Yan, do you have any more of this chicken for sale? Pack a few for me to take away.” Li Hengsheng wanted to take this chicken back for Zhou Jun to taste, and Xu Muhai also loved chicken. They were truly master and disciple.

Zhou Jun was really obsessed with chicken.

Just for his willingness to risk being beaten to death by Yang Tiantian to steal chickens from Bai Ling Peak, one could tell how much Zhou Jun loved chicken.

So Zhou Jun would definitely love this Orleans Roasted Chicken.

“Ah.” Yan Leisheng quickly said, “This was only made for Mr. Li to taste today, so we didn’t make too many. How about Mr. Li waits a bit, and I’ll have the kitchen roast some now.”

“How long will it take?” Li Hengsheng couldn’t help asking.

“Well…” Yan Leisheng hesitated and said, “Because this Orleans Roasted Chicken needs to be marinated in advance and then roasted, it probably won’t be ready until the afternoon.”

“Then forget it.” Li Hengsheng said with a smile, “My third senior brother is out of luck.”

“There’s one chicken leg left, let’s take it back for the third senior brother.” Li Hengsheng saw that there was still a chicken leg on the roasted chicken, so he broke it off and wrapped it in oil paper.

“Mr. Li, I’m really sorry.” Yan Leisheng felt embarrassed.

“Chairman Yan, it’s okay. I’ll come and buy it next time when I have the chance.” After Li Hengsheng and the others finished their meal, they prepared to set off.

Li Hengsheng checked the goods roughly and found no problems. After paying for the goods, they left Path Mark City in a grand manner.

The people from the Cangyuan Escort Bureau quickly followed.

Seeing Li Hengsheng leave Path Mark City, Li Changqing quietly followed.

The journey from Path Mark City back to Dao Mountain Ancient Land was the most dangerous.Before, Xue Qianbai had mentioned in his letter that the assassinations by the Longevity Sect usually occurred during this time period. Therefore, Li Changqing was prepared to wait and see. Once the assassin from the Longevity Sect appeared, he would capture him directly and make him reveal who the undercover Xue Ye in Dao Mountain Ancient Land really was.

If this person was not eliminated, everyone in Dao Mountain Ancient Land would not be at ease.

Li Hengsheng was in danger at any moment.

Because he had to take care of the people from the Cangyuan Escort Agency on the way back, he didn’t walk very fast. It took him almost two days to reach the foot of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

All the way, Li Hengsheng was worried that the chicken leg in his arms would go bad.

Fortunately, when he arrived at the foot of Dao Mountain Ancient Land, Li Hengsheng found that the chicken leg was still good and had not spoiled.

It was just a bit cold.

However, Li Changqing, who followed him, found that the journey was very peaceful, and there were no assassins at all.

He didn’t even detect any unfamiliar aura.

Not to mention assassination.

Could it be that the Longevity Sect had no intention of making a move this time?

The grand caravan entered the sect of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

This immediately attracted the attention of the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land.

Dao Mountain Ancient Land had been very lively recently. After sending out the invitations, all the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land were busy with preparations.

“Fourth Brother, you’re back!”

At this moment, Zhou Jun’s voice came. Li Hengsheng had just gotten off the carriage when he saw Zhou Jun rushing over.

This made Li Hengsheng surprised.

Did he come so quickly?

Did he come smelling the chicken leg?

Seeing Zhou Jun coming over, Li Hengsheng thought Zhou Jun was going to give him a hug, but Zhou Jun bypassed him and ran towards the goods behind him.

“Did you bring me any special products?”

“Did you bring me something to eat?”

“Is this pre-made food? Is this tea?” Zhou Jun rummaged for a long time but didn’t find anything he could eat directly.

“Put it down!” Yang Tiantian came up and punched Zhou Jun out without good temper.

Zhou Jun screamed, covering his face and said aggrievedly, “Second Senior Sister, why did you hit me?”

“You’ve messed up everything.” Yang Tiantian glared at Zhou Jun.

“Third Senior Brother, here’s something for you to eat.”

At this moment, before Zhou Jun could react, he saw something flying over and reached out to catch it.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a chicken leg in his hand.

At this moment, Zhou Jun’s face changed.

Just a small chicken leg?

Some people are dead, but not completely dead…
