Chen Shi also relaxed and suggested, "Since you’re not seriously hurt, why don’t we just move this God of Wealth Temple?"
Li Tianqing was stunned, "Move it?"
Chen Shi smiled and said, "You now need the Three Lights’ Righteous Qi for your cultivation. Without this temple, where would you practice? Next year, when you go to the Western Capital to take the imperial examination, how will you cultivate without the God of Wealth Temple? Naturally, we should bring the temple with us, just like the small temple behind my head, carried with me so I can practice at any time."
Li Tianqing asked for guidance, "How can we do this?"
"I once crafted a set for a courtyard using the Taotie Swallowing Sky Talisman, which on the outside is only about a foot square, but inside is as big as a normal courtyard."
Chen Shi looked around and said, "With this method, we can move the entire God of Wealth Temple into a foot-square courtyard!"
Knowing his proficiency with talismans, Li Tianqing bowed deeply and said, "I’ll have to trouble Little Ten!"
Chen Shi summoned his Nascent Soul, floating above the God of Wealth Temple, carefully observing the layout of the temple. Then he felled a large tree, cut off a section of the stump, and manipulated Sword Qi to carve a temple into the wood.
After Chen Shi finished carving, he still needed to repeatedly imprint talismans to ensure that the interior space of the temple was as large as the God of Wealth Temple. Only then could the God of Wealth Temple be moved into the small temple.
This was a delicate and intricate task; it couldn’t be finished in a day or two.
Chen Shi patiently continued carving, taking breaks when he was tired.
He and Li Tianqing hadn’t seen each other for a long time and naturally had much to talk about, from their recent experiences to their cultivation gains, and then to matters of Spiritual Medicine and extending life.
When they touched on some sensitive topics, they would write on paper to avoid being overheard by Heaven Listeners outside the temple.
After dinner, Chen Shi lit a lamp and continued his work on the small temple while Li Tianqing gradually drifted into sleep.
Unnoticed, it became midnight, and Chen Shi, beginning to feel tired, yawned and was about to put down his work when a sudden intense feeling of oppression struck him, and he saw mountains of blades and seas of flames rushing towards him!
Chen Shi’s heart thumped wildly, he mobilized his Nascent Soul, stirring his Qi-Blood, and gradually he was able to see the things around him, but his vision was still somewhat blurry.
He could only see outlines, not details.
At that moment, Li Tianqing, who had been sleeping, abruptly stood up straight!
Chen Shi was about to wake him when he saw Li Tianqing fly out of the hall. Chen Shi hurriedly rushed out only to see Li Tianqing landing on a Red Flame Horse, with Azure Dragon Energy swirling and dancing around him.
The temple doors opened, and Li Tianqing charged out on his horse.
Chen Shi felt the pressure lift and immediately rushed out of the God of Wealth Temple, shouting, "Black Pot, watch the house!"
He moved swiftly, dashing out of the temple, only to see Li Tianqing already miles away. With a swift motion, Li Tianqing struck down with his blade, and a hazy Sword Qi flew out. An Evil Spirit that had been devouring corpses of prisoners on the side of the road froze momentarily before its head slid off its neck.
The cut was incredibly smooth, making Chen Shi’s eyes twitch in astonishment!
This strike was nearly to the level of the Dao!
Li Tianqing rode furiously, with hooves lighting up with fire, cutting down Evil Spirits all the way to Qingzhou City!
Chen Shi, sensing trouble, charged forward with all his might, but the distance between him and Li Tianqing grew wider.
Li Tianqing was still a distance from Qingzhou City when a blue blade light flew out, and with a booming sound, the city gates were lifted by the blade light and split in half!
From a distance, Chen Shi watched as Li Tianqing struck again, and the Ten Thousand Soul Banner hanging on the city wall was suddenly split down the middle.
The Town City Treasure was cleaved in two!
Chen Shi was shocked to the core, following Li Tianqing into Qingzhou City.
The city was abuzz with noise.
On the notice board at the city gates, where wanted criminals were listed, Chen Shi glanced in haste and saw the leader of the bandits, riding on a horse shrouded in Red Flames, with a towering blaze and a menacing Azure Dragon sabre in hand.
And the bandit leader’s face was Li Tianqing’s!
Chen Shi was stunned.
"So the Evil Spirit that’s been causing trouble in the temple every night... isn’t an Evil Spirit, it’s Tianqing! Wait a second, then who’s been going out to kill Tianqing every night?"
—This Chapter’s cliffhanger is even more perplexing than I imagined!
