"Then, Elder Changqing, shall we set off now?" Xu Muhai said, "I have some guesses about the situation over there, but I'm not sure if they're correct. I'll have to rely on your guidance when the time comes."
"No time to waste, let's go then." Li Changqing said, though he felt a bit helpless inside.
Guide him?
I know jack squat.
If I guide you, you'll end up in a ditch.
By the way, how far exactly is the Nanshan Mine?
Why do we have to run there? Can't we just take a carriage? Looking at Xu Muhai's somewhat hefty frame, Li Changqing thought he should be able to keep up with his pace.
After all, ever since arriving in the Cangyuan Realm, this body is much younger than in his previous life and much stronger too.
With this body, Li Changqing felt he could run a hundred meters in under ten seconds.
Anyhow, better get to the Nanshan Mine first, or I'll delay making my milk money.
Besides, when I return, Li Changqing thought the Yan family should really tidy things up – why rely solely on the mine for income?
If other businesses could earn more, wouldn't his income increase too?
With money, his son could thoroughly cultivate, and becoming strong in the future would give him confidence in society.
Other sects would recruit him, offering high positions and salaries, or staying at Dao Mountain Ancient Land would be good too.
Staying as a Peak Master or something, he'd probably live a life without worries for food and drink, right?
But looking at Xu Muhai beside him, Li Changqing sighed. If possible, it's better to work at another sect.
"Elder Changqing, shall we go now?" Xu Muhai asked Li Changqing.
"Let's go." Li Changqing nodded.
"Both of you, be careful." Yan Botao promptly reminded, especially Li Changqing; he didn't want something to happen to him right after becoming an enshrinement of the Yan family.
"Don't worry." Xu Muhai reverted to his lazy manner and said, "With me and Elder Changqing here, what big thing can happen?"
Yan Botao nodded.
Xu Muhai's strength is among the top three of the Thirty-Six Peak Masters at Dao Mountain Ancient Land, renowned even among the Innate echelon.
Not to mention the enigmatic Li Changqing.
"Elder Changqing, let's move." Xu Muhai said, then stomped his foot on the ground, and his figure shot up like an arrow from a bow!
The slightly plump figure was tens of meters away in the blink of an eye!
Li Changqing was dumbfounded on the spot!
How is he so fast?
Even Bolt couldn't catch up with his shoe heels!
How am I supposed to run?
Within breaths, Xu Muhai had leaped hundreds of meters, moving faster than any movie or TV lightweight skill.
"Great Enshrinement, what's wrong?" Yan Botao found it strange that Xu Muhai had gone but Li Changqing hadn't moved an inch.
"It's nothing."
Li Changqing didn't even glance at Yan Botao, took a deep breath, and his figure shot forward, leaving behind a trail, and within moments he had caught up.
"Great Enshrinement's body technique is incredibly fast!" Sensing the gust-like speed, Yan Botao drew a sharp breath.
When Xu Muhai left, he already felt it was very fast, but Li Changqing's speed was even faster.
Truly a master.
Just as Xu Muhai left, Li Changqing used his powerful Divine Soul to observe Xu Muhai's body technique.
Because Li Changqing remembered, a painter's Divine Soul cultivation enables instant martial arts mastery.
As long as the opponent's martial arts depth is within your Divine Soul's range, you can instantly mimic it.
So Li Changqing tried using it, and to his surprise, it worked.
With a leap of dozens of meters, the miraculous steps made him move like a startled swan, incredibly fast.
"Really..." With just two steps, Li Changqing fully adapted to the technique.
Although there was initial fear, now there was only excitement in his eyes.
When had he ever experienced such a life?
Didn't every man have a martial arts dream?
The lightweight skill he had now was what he yearned for in childhood; he couldn't believe it finally materialized today.
Moreover, Li Changqing's speed was even faster than Xu Muhai's.
With a few strides, leaping over rooftops, Li Changqing overtook Xu Muhai in an instant.
Xu Muhai saw something whoosh past, and suddenly he was left behind.
"So fast!" Xu Muhai was shocked. He wasn't surprised Li Changqing was faster, but he was taken aback that following him, he saw Li Changqing using his body technique.
It was the Snow Feather Zen Wind Skill, one of the exquisite body techniques of Dao Mountain Ancient Land!
This was comprehended by Dao Mountain Ancient Land's predecessors from a snow scene painting.
"Elder Changqing, slow down, wait for me." Seeing the increasing gap, Xu Muhai hurriedly called from behind.
"Ah." Only then did Li Changqing realize he'd gotten carried away, leaving Xu Muhai behind.
"Is this what you call an expert?" Li Changqing said speechlessly.
I just learned and run faster than you.
Li Changqing grew more apprehensive about entrusting Li Hengsheng to Xu Muhai; could he handle it?
This person's cultivation isn't enough.
Not even as good as a novice like me.
Li Changqing now stood at the pinnacle of Yanfei Tower in Changting Town, tiptoeing lightly, his body as light as a feather, yet defeating the howling wind that only made his clothes flutter, his figure unmoved.
Li Changqing stood with hands behind his back, surveying the surroundings, and an overwhelming sense of grandeur swept over him.
Is this the view that masters see?
No wonder so many want to cultivate and become powerful, because the sceneries seen by strong people are truly different.
By now, Xu Muhai had caught up.
"Elder Changqing, slow down a bit, I can't keep up." Xu Muhai said with a wry smile.
Xu Muhai now recognized the gap between himself and Li Changqing; in his eyes, Li Changqing's speed could rank among the top in the entire Cang Yuan Realm.
"Alright, I'll slow down a bit. Let's keep moving." Li Changqing's mindset had changed by now.
From someone with no ambition who just wanted to earn money for his child, a desire to stand at the summit was budding in his heart.
Li Changqing already understood the law of the jungle; it's just that for the first time, he's seeing it from a strongman's position.
Even Xu Muhai sensed some change in Li Changqing's aura.
The change surprised Xu Muhai, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar.
Meanwhile, Xu Muhai was pondering, trying to investigate Li Changqing's background through his displayed body technique.
But unexpectedly, Li Changqing didn't use his familiar technique but imitated the Snow Feather Zen Wind Skill from Dao Mountain Ancient Land.
Indeed, Elder Changqing must have an unknown past, right?
