My Father Is Definitely Possessed-Chapter 177 - 133: Li Changqing Also Wants to Join the Ghostly Realm Trial (2)

Chapter 177: Chapter 133: Li Changqing Also Wants to Join the Ghostly Realm Trial (2)

Let’s talk about Li Changqing, an artist who doesn’t understand swordsmanship at all. This Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable actually has seven Divine Weapons. How could these two possibly be related?

Slowly, snowflakes began to drift from the sky.

Li Changqing felt a cold breeze slowly blowing from ahead.

Before his eyes, a snow-capped mountain emerged.

The Snow Sculpture brought the two of them to the Thousand Snow Peak.

"It’s so cold here. You live in such a place every day; no wonder people feel icy." Li Changqing rubbed his hands and looked around at the snowy mountains, puzzled about why Xue Qianbai didn’t live somewhere warmer.

"When the weather gets cold, it’s better suited for comprehending Sword Intent." Xue Qianbai said as he walked into the small pavilion in the snow and poured Li Changqing a cup of tea.

"What important matter had to be discussed face-to-face?" Xue Qianbai looked at Li Changqing.

Li Changqing sat down and took a sip of the warm tea, feeling odd about how it was so warm in this icy pavilion.

Probably because Xue Qianbai had just brewed it outside when he heard the shout?

"I’m here to ask about the Ghostly Realm trial." Li Changqing said, "You didn’t clarify much in the letter, so I came to ask more about it and to discuss some matters with you."

"What do you want to ask?" Xue Qianbai asked.

"Is the Ghostly Realm trial dangerous?"

"It carries some danger." Xue Qianbai nodded. "During the last Ghostly Realm trial, our Mountain Ancient Land sent fifty disciples, but only thirty-four returned."

"The death rate is so high!"

Li Changqing was somewhat shocked.

"The Ghostly Realm trial is targeting the Ghost Race, who are mysterious and have many branches; danger is inevitable. Besides, if there’s no danger, what kind of trial would it be?" Xue Qianbai replied irritably, "You can only grow flowers in a greenhouse, not wolves."

"By the way, I gave the pill to your son. Xu Muhai wasn’t there, so I made up an excuse to give it to him." Xue Qianbai remembered to tell Li Hengsheng about this.

"Xu Muhai wasn’t there? How did you give it to him? You didn’t expose me, did you?" Li Changqing’s hand froze in mid-air with the teacup.

"No." Xue Qianbai said calmly, "I found an impeccable excuse to give it to him."

"That’s good." Li Changqing relaxed.

He didn’t ask Xue Qianbai what excuse was used, thankfully. Otherwise, if Xue Qianbai explained, Li Changqing would indeed have flipped the table.

"You mentioned something urgent, let’s hear it; I’m quite busy." Xue Qianbai looked at Li Changqing, "Isn’t it my spatial ring is completed already?"

"Wishful thinking!" Li Changqing glared at Xue Qianbai, then took out a blueprint from his spatial ring and handed it to him: "This is the blueprint for the tool I need. My previous set is broken; please craft my tool first, then I can create your spatial ring, or am I supposed to use my fingers?"

Xue Qianbai looked at the blueprint and quietly slipped it into his robe.

"I’ve come to tell you that, does your Mountain Ancient Land need sponsorship?" Li Changqing asked with a smile.

"Sponsorship?" Xue Qianbai was stunned: "What sponsorship?"

"I’m saying your Mountain Ancient Land’s travel expenses, such as meals, rest, sleeping, medicine for injuries during the Ghostly Realm trial — all these costs require money, right? Is your Mountain Ancient Land covering them?"

Li Changqing counted on his fingers for Xue Qianbai.

"Of course, we are." Xue Qianbai nodded; who else would pay besides Mountain Ancient Land?

After all, obtaining sixty spots was already quite impressive for Mountain Ancient Land.

Other sects don’t even have a chance for more spots.

Could Celestial Sea City pay?

Celestial Sea City would say, if you can’t afford it, don’t come; we’ll give the spots to other sects.

Such spots indeed draw many aspirants.

Because participating in the Ghostly Realm trial earns merit points from Celestial Sea City.

It’s very beneficial for the growth of Martial Artists.

At Celestial Sea City’s Merit Hall, merit points are hard currency and can buy almost anything you want.

Something everyone desires.

For Postnatal Realm Martial Artists, the best way to earn merit points is through the Ghostly Realm trial.

Unlike those at the Innate Realm who can venture into the Cloud Wasteland, slay Ghost Race members, or hunt down targets on the blacklist to earn points.

"I’ll cover your expenses." Li Changqing said to Xue Qianbai.

"You’re covering it?"

Xue Qianbai asked in surprise: "Why?"

"To be accurate, it’s not me but the Evergreen Commerce Association covering it." Li Changqing replied: "Do you know the Evergreen Commerce Association?"

"I know." Xue Qianbai replied, "It’s actually yours; I heard when I was outside that Hai Songtao was killed by you and the Hai family was wiped out. Eventually, your Evergreen Commerce Association replaced the Hai family."

"Don’t falsely accuse; Hai Songtao wasn’t killed by me." Li Changqing quickly clarified, "I don’t know who did it either."

"I know it wasn’t you, but it must have been someone from your Evergreen Commerce Association. Otherwise, why act at that critical moment?" Xue Qianbai knew Hai Songtao’s cause of death and was sure it wasn’t done by Li Changqing.

Someone had severed his head in one slash.

This obviously wasn’t how Li Changqing operated.

Seeing the misunderstanding wouldn’t clear up, Li Changqing lazily addressed, "So, how about it? We’ll cover all costs for your Mountain Ancient Land’s disciples."

"What’s the catch?" Xue Qianbai asked, knowing Li Changqing wasn’t coming for charity.

"There’s not much condition; we’ll provide good lodging and food, but one thing — they must wear clothes we, the Evergreen Commerce Association, have designated. How about it?" Li Changqing asked with a smile.

"That’s it?" Xue Qianbai was startled, thinking the condition was too simple.

What difference does wearing those clothes make? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Our Mountain Ancient Land has tough warriors who can fight even without clothes.

Changing clothes is no big deal.

Most importantly, it saves Mountain Ancient Land a good chunk of expenses.

"I agree." Xue Qianbai nodded.

"Good, let’s settle this. Tell me how many sets of clothes you need, for both men and women, so I can rush back and customize them." Li Changqing’s eyes brightened.

"By the way, are you going to the Ghostly Realm trial?" Li Changqing asked.

"With the headmaster not here, I naturally must go; I need to be stationed there." Xue Qianbai nodded.

"Can you take me?" Li Changqing asked eagerly, "I’ve never been, so I’d like to go see and learn."

"You?" Xue Qianbai frowned, "You’re not from Mountain Ancient Land, how could I take you? Besides, every sect can only have one Grandmaster stationed, and can choose three Peak Masters, but those spots are already filled with no place for you. I think you just want to watch over your son."

"Nonsense." Li Changqing adamantly denied.

"Can’t you take me?" Li Changqing looked at Xue Qianbai eagerly.

"Don’t be naive, no." Xue Qianbai shook his head, "Don’t worry; Li Hengsheng is a genius of our Mountain Ancient Land, with an impressive performance in the Ten Thousand Beasts Collection. With me around, he will not encounter danger."

"Alright then." Li Changqing reluctantly agreed.

In reality, going there was one of his primary goals; sponsorship was secondary.

"When Xu Muhai returns, remind him to give the things I have for my son as soon as possible." Li Changqing asked.

"I’m not your son’s babysitter." Xue Qianbai snorted lightly.

"By the way, did you know spatial rings can be made in different sizes?" Li Changqing suddenly mentioned.

Upon hearing this, Xue Qianbai remained seated, silent, writing the list of disciples until he finished, handing it to Li Changqing.

"I’ve got to go."

Li Changqing turned to leave.

"Once the tools are ready, I’ll send them to you, and make the spatial ring larger. When Xu Muhai returns, I’ll have him deliver the items to your son immediately."

"What a hassle." Xue Qianbai shook his head.

"I’m leaving."

With a swift release of the Sword Box, Li Changqing soared up the mountain, stepping on his sword to depart!
