Li Qingshan’s primordial spirit intelligence was extremely profound. After looking around, he didn’t find the slightest trace.
Therefore, this could only be regarded as a strange story.
“Perhaps someone in this world has been wronged.” Li Qingshan suddenly thought of an ancient proverb.
However, this had nothing to do with him. Looking at the heavy snow falling between heaven and earth, looking at the vast expanse of whiteness in the distant mountains, looking at the rolling white clouds in the sea of clouds, revealing a cold aura, Li Qingshan suddenly felt interested.
After spending a long time in seclusion, Li Qingshan hadn’t seen natural snowfall in a long time.
This time, he had coincidentally encountered it, so he wasn’t in a hurry to comprehend the Great Paths.
He chose a calm life.
On this day, he woke up early to wait for the flowers and planted a few wildflowers beside the small courtyard.
Since he had nothing to do, he brewed a pot of tea, and the fire crackled in the stove.
Looking at the fire, Li Qingshan thought that it had been a long time since he had been so calm.
“Always busy with cultivation, exhausted from striving. On the path of life, there’s no need to be in such a hurry.”
“It’s time to relax when appropriate, to let oneself unwind.”
Li Qingshan decided to give himself a few days off.
Upon careful recollection, since entering the Immortal Plane, he had been tirelessly cultivating, without taking the time to leisurely appreciate life.
Taking advantage of this long-awaited snowfall, Li Qingshan slowed down his pace.
On this mountaintop, he read books every day, drank tea, napped in the sunlight, strolled in the drizzle, and read under the lamplight. In this tranquil time, with a hand of smoke and fire, a hand of poetry, he watched the clouds outside the window roll and the flowers bloom and wither in front of the door, savoring the lingering taste of life.
These few days of peaceful life had cleansed Li Qingshan’s heart.
He, who wasn’t in a rush to cultivate, felt that his heart was more rounded. It was like a stone with four sharp corners being washed under a waterfall.
Over time.
The stone would become smooth, its edges worn down.
Li Qingshan used his peaceful days to smooth out his impatience due to his rapid cultivation.
However, the snow didn’t stop for the past few days.
Sometimes, the sun would shine in the morning, but once noon passed, it would immediately snow heavily again.
Sometimes, it would be overcast and rainy in the afternoon, and by evening, the snowflakes would blanket everything.
Li Qingshan couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
This was too unusual. The rain hadn’t stopped for a few days.
On this day, Taoist Dragon came over.
“You’ve been living very comfortably these few days. Sometimes, I would peek at your mountain peak and see that you’re either drinking tea or basking in the warm sun. I’m so envious.” Taoist Dragon walked to Li Qingshan’s tea table, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it in one gulp.
“If you want to rest, you can too.” Li Qingshan said to Taoist Dragon. Taoist Dragon shook his head. “I used to be able to take a break, but as you became famous, it has become an extravagant hope for me.”
“What’s wrong? Have you been very busy recently because of me?” Li Qingshan asked curiously.
“Of course, I’m very busy. You can leisurely drink tea and bask in the sun here because I’ve blocked all the trouble for you. Otherwise, I reckon that the people who came to look for you now would have flattened this courtyard,” Taoist Dragon complained.
“How so? Haven’t they given up yet?” Li Qingshan frowned and asked.
“They won’t give up. This bunch of useless fools who overestimate themselves. They actually tried to subdue you through coercion and bribery. They’re so arrogant and even said that I hid you to monopolize you and prevent you from interacting with people from other forces. If you take them seriously, you might just anger yourself to death, ” Taoist Dragon shook his head and said wearily.
He wasn’t angry, he was just mentally tired.
This was because this group of Emperor Clan descendants had once again challenged his worldview. It was really unheard of for them to be ignorant and arrogant to this extent.
“Don’t just laugh, kid. This time, I’ve offended these Emperor Clan descendants for you. They’re all threatening me to make things difficult for me,” Taoist Dragon said helplessly.
“Does it affect you?” Li Qingshan asked with concern.
“No.” Taoist Dragon brushed off his frustration and helplessness, and he chuckled.
“I’m already an old man. I have no desires and I’m self-sufficient in the Celestial Court Academy. Even if they threaten me, they can’t interfere here,” said Taoist Dragon.
“Since that’s the case, then don’t bother about them. As the descendants of the Emperor Clan, they have long held power and been surrounded by crowds. They think that the world should be like that and don’t need much contact with them.” Li Qingshan shook his head.
“I think so too. I can’t be bothered to mention these bunch of insects.” Taoist Dragon sat down in Li Qingshan’s courtyard and leisurely picked up the tea he had brewed.
“Does the Celestial Court Academy usually experience snowfall in June?” Li Qingshan stood with his hands behind his back and asked as he looked at the falling snowflakes.
Taoist Dragon shook his head and said, “Although the Immortal Court
Academy is only a medium chiliocosm, all its laws are the same as those of the
Immortal Plane. Why would it snow in June?”
“Then can you explain the current phenomenon?” Li Qingshan asked as he pointed at the vast expanse of white mountains and valleys in the distance.
Taoist Dragon frowned and said seriously, “The heavy snow these days is abnormal. I’ve checked it carefully. It doesn’t seem like it was man-made. It should be the heaven’s will.”
“Have you read the ancient books and checked what it means to snow in June?” Li Qingshan asked.
“I have. The sages of the past interpreted snowfall in June as a sign of great calamity,” Taoist Dragon said with a solemn expression..
