The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 177 - Golden Palace
One month later...
The cultivation room in the Yin Yang Palace had previously been destroyed by Qing Shan during his seclusion last time. So this time, he chose a cultivation room that was in the Pill Palace..
The elder Xue who had now become his disciple, was, it was guarding outside the room and this shocked many experts within the sect because this Elder Xue looked to have great respect for Qing Shan's presence in the room and guarded the door.
Elder Xue would never give them any explanation because this was an order from Qing Shan. He was not allowed to reveal Qing Shan's identity as a four-star Alchemist Master.
Right now, Elder Xue's eyes were staring at the room where Qing Shan was cultivating. He had chosen to become Qing Shan's disciple because he valued Qing Shan's refining technique. But after watching Qing Shan's battle with Elder Bai, he was completely shocked by Qing Shan's combat strength.
Although the Elder was not considered an ancestor-level expert and was included in the strongest expert who entered the top ten of Xin Country, Elder Bai was at least ranked in the top twenty experts in Xin Country.
However, Elder Bai had been defeated by a young man. Before the battle, no one had ever expected Qing Shan to win against Elder Bai, now everyone was sorry for betting on the wrong person.. The only thing that made Elder Xue a little worried was that this Teacher Qing Shan had too many women.
He forced a smile as he looked at every anxious-looking girl who came to him..
She watched every single one of the girls, first she looked at Ling Yun who naturally looked very beautiful and very young as well as had an elegant face.
Then looked at Bai Yui, a female disciple of the number one Demon Ghost Sect who was extremely terrifying because of her cruelty.
Then looked at Xiao Mei, the young miss belonging to the Demon Ghost Sect, the daughter of the sect master.
Then shift his vision to see Lili. He felt this girl gave him goosebumps, seeming to face this woman more dangerous than facing San Zi who was known by the crowd was the Demon Ghost Sect Master and had the title Demon Ghost, Xiao Mei's father.
'These are all female teachers. I can't ignore them.' Elder Xue said as he forced a smile on his face and greeted the girls.
The simple-minded Ling Yun instantly got a good impression from this respectful old man. As for Lili, she only nodded slightly as Elder Xue smiled and greeted them.
While Xiao Mei and Bai Yu found it hard to accept the smile on Elder Xue's face.
All this time, Xiao Mei felt that although Elder Xue used to smile at her every time they met, this old man had never been so respectful like this. Elder Xue was famous for having great pride as an alchemist master.
He would not humble himself even if he were to face an expert on par with his father. But today, Elder Xue was acting very respectful towards him, he could already imagine that this was all related to Qing Shan.
The one who felt the most uneasy was Bai Yu. Being the leader of the Yin Yang Palace disciples, he often came to the Pill Palace to collect the pills needed in the cultivation of the loyal female disciples of Yin Yang Palace. All along, Elder Xue had never glanced at him once and underestimated him every time they met..
Now, Elder Xue Qing had great respect for Bai Yu, he had heard that this girl had also been subdued by Qing Shan.
Elder Xue's face was filled with smiles, but his heart was filled with bitterness. The expression he made like this was too awkward and difficult for him. But, he discovered that when he replaced his pride with the mental state of a junior, his cultivation that had all along encountered a barrier began to slacken slightly.
During this month, Qing Shan had known nothing about the situation outside. He had not come out until now even after his chaotic thoughts had calmed down. He had now gained enlightenment and comprehended the insights he had gained from fighting himself and Elder Bai.
By the time he entered seclusion, the mysterious woman spoke to Qing Shan to form his golden core before breaking through, he had to leave the Golden Palace. Qing Shan needed to borrow the power of the Golden world to shorten the time it took to form his realm core. The mysterious woman had yet to tell him her location and was fast asleep.
The closest place he could think of required him to travel across dozens, or hundreds of countries in this Tropical World. After arriving at a country that had vast oceans, he had to take a boat to venture into the region of the Endless Sea.
The Endless Sea was located at the southern end of the Tropical World. His journey would be far away if he went there. Other than there being cultivators living there, there were also many other existences, such as the Monster Race, Ghost Clan, and Giant Demon Clan…
Given Qing Shan's current speed of travel, searching for the Golden Palace through the Endless Sea would take several years. So he was still thinking about whether to go there or not.
An hour later, Qing Shan walked out of the Pill Palace's cultivation room. He gently pushed the door and saw the four girls he knew and Elder Xue were waiting for him.
When Bai Yu looked at Qing Shan, her brows furrowed, and she turned around and left with an annoyed face without saying a word, but when viewed from behind her back, she turned around, his shoulders trembled and did not look as calm as he showed in his way
While Xiao Mei put on a face that looked happy, Lili put on a face full of excitement and Ling Yun threw himself into Qing Shan's embrace.
“Sister Qing! We are rich now!”
His first words were not about how much he missed Qing Shan. This made Qing Shan smile to himself looking at the innocence of this girl.
Qing Shan then released his embrace and stroked Ling Yun's hair as his eyes stared from afar.
"Sorry for making both seniors wait too long."
The two seniors Qing Shan meant were Hua Lin and the beggar, Bu Hui.
Not long after Qing Shan spoke, two figures appeared. One walked with graceful steps while the other put on a sullen and angry face..
"Sickhead motherfucker! If you still don't get out of that room, I'll destroy it. This is the money you've won. ” The beggar's words sounded impatient.
He then threw a small space bag containing 100,000 gold coins at Qing Shan.
“I will always support you if you let me know if anyone places a bet somewhere.” Qing Shan cupped his fist at the beggar.
"Huh... Better not. I don't want to see you again.. Mmmm, I want to ask you something, have you ever seen a gold-colored jade.?” the beggar asked mysteriously. Perhaps, this was his initial intention to wait for Qing Shan.
"Golden jade stone?" Qing Shan deserwab was confused.
"alright.. Think of it as if I never asked you.” The beggar stopped asking further after seeing Qing Shan's confused gaze.
What the beggar said was inexplicable, but Qing Shan somehow noticed something. Qing Shan's eyes twitched. This beggar seemed to not only be looking for a piece of gold jade, but to look for someone.
This beggar was a Heavenly Core expert from this Tropical World God Palace. Eight hundred countries throughout the Tropical World must have known about the quest conducted by the God Palace. However, it is still unknown who they are looking for.
