In my hand, there are still two drops, which, when added together, make six drops.

There’s only one drop left to refine the Seven Treasures Glaze Pill. Although there are other costly materials needed, when it comes to Dragon Blood Essence, other things are hardly an issue.

"Let’s go back."

Li Hengsheng, with Lu Shiran, rode the purple lightning back to Tushan City.

Li Changqing arrived in Celestial Cyan City of Beihan Country.

Just as he entered the city, he heard Guang Ancestor’s voice. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Li Changqing followed the voice and found Guang Ancestor in a small alley.

In the alley, there was a rundown shop, whose sign was barely legible.

He walked into the shop.

Guang Ancestor sat in a spot, eating a bowl of dumplings.

"Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable, come sit." Guang Ancestor waved.

Li Changqing walked over and sat down.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked out from the inner room, hobbling along, a cripple.

"Bring him a bowl too." Guang Ancestor said to the cripple.

Li Changqing looked at this cripple, felt something odd, but couldn’t pinpoint it.

"People from the Blood Shadow Sect." Li Changqing said lightly.

The cripple paused at the doorway but said nothing and continued inside.

Beside him was Zhang Fuguang. Li Changqing’s Divine Soul was strong, and his perception was keen. Though the cripple appeared like a regular person, Li Changqing could sense something different.

Guang Ancestor chuckled, "Brother Qinglian has good eyes."

"Looks like if I don’t act today, this old fellow will make a move to kill someone." Li Changqing glanced at Guang Ancestor.

He didn’t expect Guang Ancestor to have sent someone to kill someone from the Su family.

And it was Su Zheng from the Su family.

"That’s just a last resort." Guang Ancestor stirred the dumplings in his bowl with a spoon and said, "Shiran is the future of my Guanglan Palace. Su Zheng wants Shiran to carry on the Su family lineage, that’s just dreaming."

"I’m curious, what benefits did the Su family offer, to make you willing to do such a thing?"

Li Changqing was genuinely curious.

"Before you’re curious about that, I’m also curious about something." Guang Ancestor looked at Li Changqing’s mask and said, "You are the biological father of Li Hengsheng, yet you always appear before him in this guise, that’s quite interesting."

"Hmm?"

Li Changqing was surprised that Guang Ancestor recognized him.

"I’ve followed Shiran here, and I’ve come to know almost everything about Beihan Country, so when you disguised yourself as Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable to go to the National Guardian Mansion, I saw it." Guang Ancestor calmly said, "I didn’t expect that such a master was hidden in the Eastern Wilderness."

"Your sword and your Painting Treasure are both very powerful."

Guang Ancestor secretly witnessed Li Changqing’s battle with Su Zheng. Originally, relying on his own strength, Li Changqing could only match Su Zheng.

The Seven Slay Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable was not weak, but Su Zheng was also very strong, and once Su Zheng’s Evil Ghost Map came out, Li Changqing’s Sword Array was indeed at risk of failing.

The Evil Ghost Map is a famous treasure throughout the Cangyuan Realm.

Its power goes without saying.

Guang Ancestor originally thought Li Changqing was about to be defeated, but unexpectedly, when the Immortal Slaying Platform appeared, the Immortal Slaying Sword Array directly eradicated the Evil Ghost Map.

Li Changqing also trapped Su Zheng and Su Xianci in the Great Dream Soul Stone.

This was something Guang Ancestor had not anticipated.

Thus, he reassessed the Cyan Lotus Sword Venerable before him.

Since he was already seen through, Li Changqing stopped pretending and directly removed his mask.

"Since Guang Ancestor has long known my identity, I’m curious about what you want to discuss with me." Li Changqing asked calmly.

At this moment, the crippled man came out and served Li Changqing a bowl of dumplings.

Li Changqing also hadn’t eaten all morning.

He tasted a bite.

The flavor was quite good.

"Even if I hadn’t come early to Beihan Country, upon seeing you, I could have discerned your identity." Guang Ancestor said with a smile.

"Oh? Why is that?"

Li Changqing asked, intrigued.

Was it because he hadn’t hidden deeply enough?

Or was his disguise ineffective before an expert like a terrestrial immortal?

Just as he finished speaking, Li Changqing noticed Guang Ancestor’s eyes had changed.

His pupils turned golden.

"Pupil Technique."

Li Changqing was a bit surprised; Guang Ancestor actually had Pupil Technique.

"I can see through certain causes and effects." Guang Ancestor said, "There’s an entangled cause and effect between you and Li Hengsheng, so your relationship can be clearly seen. As for inviting you, it’s because I saw something interesting when observing your lines of causality."

"Something interesting?" Li Changqing frowned and asked, "What interesting thing."

"Do you know Monarch Yuehan?"

Guang Ancestor suddenly posed this question.

Li Changqing wasn’t hearing this name for the first time, nor was it his first time being asked about it.

Again with Monarch Yuehan.

"Do I look like him?" Li Changqing did not show any expression, just took another bite of dumplings.

"I’ve seen him once, indeed there are some similarities." Guang Ancestor calmly said, "The causal line between you and Monarch Yuehan is thicker than the one between you and Li Hengsheng, but as far as I know, Monarch Yuehan has already been suppressed by Jiang Tianyun."

The cause and effect between himself and Monarch Yuehan were that intense?

Could it be Monarch Yuehan is his illegitimate child?

No, that doesn’t make sense.

The age doesn’t match.

"I heard he was suppressed because he stole something?" Li Changqing suddenly became interested in the gossip.
