My Super Beautiful Lady Boss-Chapter 740 - 725 Qingcheng Sect Li Qingfeng

Old Master Li, now known as Taoist Qingfeng, is typically addressed as ’Master’ by the majority of the Qingcheng Sect, ranking among the top three within the sect in terms of cultivation power!

His disciples and students also constitute the backbone of strength within the Qingcheng Sect, and it is for no other reason than that from a young age, Li Qingfeng was a Martial Arts Fanatic, willing to go to any lengths for the sake of his cultivation.

Within a hundred miles around Qingcheng Mountain, the reputation of the Qingcheng Sect had never been good, as the sect was not unfamiliar with acts of bullying the weak, and the residents living nearby mostly just swallowed their grievances in silence.

Li Qingfeng, in his earlier years, had killed countless for the Qingcheng Sect, personally destroying many smaller sects and forcibly annexing them.

Naturally, Li Qingfeng was no good man. The Li Family had become a dominant clan in Qiuyuan City, which could not have been achieved without the oppression amongst the noble families. Li Qingfeng’s ruthless methods in Qiuyuan City made many families respect and fear him!

Now, the fact that someone had crippled the only two direct descendants of his family could only mean that Li Qingfeng’s rage was absolutely towering!

At this moment, Li Qingfeng’s eyes were slightly closed, but the air around him seemed as if it had solidified, filled with an uncountable cold killing intent!

Soon, a middle-aged man made his way up the mountain. The man appeared to be in his thirties, not very tall, but gave off a not-to-be-messed-with aura!

He was dressed in casual attire, which somewhat clashed with Li Qingfeng’s traditional garb! His face was ordinary, but his eyes exuded a fierce and ruthless light, making those who saw him involuntarily get goosebumps!

The man, upon entering, immediately bowed respectfully to Li Qingfeng, who was seated on a meditation cushion, and said reverently, "Master, did you summon me?"

Upon hearing Shangguan Zheng’s voice, Li Qingfeng only then languidly opened his eyes and, without a word, handed a piece of correspondence to Shangguan Zheng.

Shangguan Zheng was Li Qingfeng’s personal disciple, and although his cultivation was not the best among more than a dozen disciples, Shangguan Zheng was indeed the one who most suited Li Qingfeng’s taste, simply because he was ruthless and vicious enough!

The other disciples were either from poor families or truly peaceful and uninvolved Taoists, but Shangguan Zheng’s background was similar to Li Qingfeng’s, being a disciple from a powerful and affluent family. The Shangguan Family, eager to align with the Qingcheng Sect, had sent Shangguan Zheng to be apprenticed to them.

Over the years, Li Qingfeng had frequently asked Shangguan Zheng to address some thorny issues on his behalf and he was also quite familiar with his family’s affairs.

Shangguan Zheng took the letter with a puzzled look and upon realizing its contents, he couldn’t help but be greatly shocked, and then he explosively erupted, "This Su Xuan truly has the gall of both bear and panther, to actually have crippled the bloodline of you, Master!"

"He deserves to die!" Li Qingfeng had never been as angry as he was today, with bloodshot eyes and a face as venomous as a bloodthirsty demon.

"Zheng’er, how have I treated you all this time?" Li Qingfeng asked with a steady gaze.

Hearing Li Qingfeng’s question, Shangguan Zheng hurriedly expressed his stance, "Master, your kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. If it weren’t for your attentive guidance daily, I would not have the cultivation I possess today. Master, just give your orders. I, Shangguan Zheng, will go through fire and water without any hesitation!"

Pleased with Shangguan Zheng’s response, Li Qingfeng nodded in satisfaction, then continued with an icy tone, "Very well, this Su Xuan has dared to destroy my Li Family. I, Li Qingfeng, have always believed in repaying grudges and seeking revenge. If I do not tear this Su Xuan to thousands of pieces, it would be impossible to quench the hatred in my heart..."

Shangguan Zheng listened to Li Qingfeng’s words and then said, "Master, please give your orders. I will make sure that Su Xuan dies with nowhere to bury his corpse!"

Although Li Qingfeng was extremely furious at the moment, he also knew that if Su Xuan didn’t possess some real skills, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to annihilate the Li Family so effortlessly!

A person capable of such a deed must naturally have impressive cultivation. After pondering for a moment, Li Qingfeng then said, "This Su Xuan, since he killed my grandson so effortlessly, must have a cultivation at the very least of the Transformation Realm Peak!"

Cultivation is divided into five levels: Foundation Establishment, Transformation Realm, Dark Force, Divine Entry, and Ancestor Returning.

Foundation Establishment, as the name suggests, is about laying a solid foundation. Although it sounds very simple, there are likely less than one hundred thousand people who have reached this realm across Huaxia, a number that illustrates just how difficult cultivation is.

Those at Foundation Establishment must develop a faint qi force to smoothly flow through all one hundred and eight meridian channels in their body and then expand and reinforce their dantian’s foundation. Only at this stage does one truly enter the world of cultivation. Foundation Establishment serves as a kind of entry pass into the cultivation world.

Yet, for some people, this entry pass is out of reach even after a lifetime’s effort.

There are no distinct levels within Foundation Establishment, but once at the Transformation Realm, there are defined levels.

The Transformation Realm is divided into three levels, and the gap between each level is not quite as vast as heaven and earth, but it’s comparable to the difference between a sturdy ox and a lamb.

Foundation Establishment is just that, a foundation. At the Transformation Realm, you can gather the qi force accumulated during Foundation Establishment and quickly concentrate it at a single point, such as your fist or foot!

Then, in an instant, you unleash that force. That is the essence of the Transformation Realm!

In the whole of Huaxia, there are less than ten thousand people who have achieved this level of cultivation. If a cultivator reaches the power of the Transformation Realm, they are basically considered a grandmaster in the martial arts world. Just think, in Qiuyuan City, one of the few great families— the Li Family—barely has three experts at the Transformation Realm, which shows just how difficult it is to achieve this level.

Dark Force, at this level, one is competent enough to start a sect or school, becoming a once-in-a-generation Grandmaster. For a mid-level sect in Huaxia, to have a Dark Force expert is like their ancestors blessing them greatly.

Even for major sects like Qingcheng Sect, such experts are few and far between.

Dark Force means that there’s no need for physical contact with an opponent. All you need is to hold your breath, concentrate, and with a gentle palm strike in the air, your opponent can be injured invisibly from afar. To strike from a distance or retrieve objects through the air is naturally trivial.

At this point, the cultivator has become a hermit of the cultivation world, virtually unreachable by ordinary means. Even if one is extraordinarily talented, it’s very difficult to achieve this realm without reaching eighty or ninety years of age.

Therefore, Li Qingfeng estimated that Su Xuan’s power was at most at the peak of Transformation Realm. Even so, Su Xuan would be considered one in a million, an extraordinary cultivation genius.

The reason Li Qingfeng had Shangguan Zheng take action was that Shangguan Zheng was also a once-in-a-lifetime martial arts prodigy. Although he appeared to be under forty years old, Shangguan Zheng was actually sixty-three years old.
