Chapter 252: He is Teng Qingshan!
"Brother Qin Wei, Brother Ma, this inn is quite nice and it isn't pricy." Old Zhang led Teng Qingshan and the others toward a motel before calling into the inn, "Old Zhou!" An old man wearing a leather hat immediately came running out while saying with a smile on his face. "Oh my, Master Zhang has returned."
Old Zhang scolded jokingly, "I'm overwhelmed by you addressing me as master! These are my friends and since I brought business to you, I believe it wouldn't be a problem for you to earn less."
"Sure! They shall have a 30% discount for their food and accommodation here!" the old man, whose surname was Zhou, said with a smile.
…
In the expensive private room on the third floor of the restaurant located opposite the street at this moment…
A fair and slightly plump man in a black, expensive fur coat sat on the chair with his legs curled up while he leaned on the wall. Food and drinks were placed on the square table in front of him. He had a wine glass in one hand as he looked down through the window from time to time. He casually drank his wine and had food.
This person was Pei San, the one who bought the most popular courtesan years ago!
A dark, burly man who looked like an iron tower and a beautiful young girl wearing a white fox fur coat also sat on the other sides of the square table.
"Huh?" Pei San looked at the streets in surprise.
At this moment, Teng Qingshan ordered the server to untie the two boxes that contained tea bricks on the streets.
"I almost made a mistake." Pei Shan quickly waved his hand and said, "Dujuan, the two of you should come and look. Who's that down there!"
Meng Dujuan and the guard, Tie Ta, looked down through the window.
"Master, there isn't anybody we know down there," Tie Ta replied puzzlingly.
Du Menjuan also said while shaking her head after she looked closer. "Master, I didn't see anyone familiar."
"Focus on that man who has a big luggage in one of his hands. That one that has a sword on his waist and is dressed like people from Youyan. Do you guys see him?" Pei San said with a smile.
"Yes, but we've never seen this person," Tie Ta replied.
Meng Dujuan observed in detail for a long period of time and frowned as she spoke while shaking her head when Teng Qingshan entered the inn. "I don't know him."
"Haha… Teng Qingshan has such good disguise skills," Pei San said admiringly.
"Master, you mean…" Tie Ta widened his eyes.
Du Mengjuan was also in disbelief. "This is impossible, that person cannot be Teng Qingshan. They are completely different! They're different in heights, have different appearance and even different temperament! How can they be the same person?" In Du Mengjuan's opinion… It was difficult to change a person's temperament. She still did not believe it even after Pei San had pointed it out.
"He is Teng Qingshan!" Pei San was sure about it.
"Haha… The two of you can't be blamed for not recognizing him." Pei San drank a glass of wine with a soft smile on his face before saying. "I also did not recognize him at first glance. Throughout the years, I would remember anything that I've seen once. Even if the person had one a face skin mask, I would recognize them. However, Teng Qincshan… I only felt a hint of familiarity when I looked just now.

"After I looked closer, I discovered that one of the boxes containing goods contained clothes. The interior of the partition of this luggage box is empty. An axe and two spears are placed inside.
"I only came up with a verdict on his identity after I discovered these weapons!" Pei San exclaimed. "If it wasn't for those two weapons, I wouldn't have recognized him. His technique in disguise is really good."
Du Mengjuan and Tie Ta exchanged glances.
They clearly understood how good their master was. Even their master was unable to recognize him by one glance and had to confirm his identity by discovering his weapon. Such a technique in disguise…was really horrifying.
"Looking at the entire Jiu Continent, only a few people are able to recognize Teng Qingshan," Pei San said with a soft smile on his face. "On top of that, not many people have seen Teng Qingshan in the past. Even if they see the current Teng Qingshan… They would not expect this. Hence, they wouldn't purposely check Teng Qingshan's luggage box."
"Unless the weapons are identified, there's no possibility of Teng Qingshan being exposed," Pei San said.
Tie Ta and Du Mengjuan also nodded.
"According to our investigation, over ten thousand armies and twelve commissioned elders died in Qinghu Island. Many powerful cultivators from other sects had also died there," Du Mengjuan praised while smiling. "Teng Qingshan is really clever. He seems to be turning 18 after some time… He openly travels the world, but the Qinghu Island can't find him."
Pei San looked downward from the window. "Teng Qingshan…"
"He's only achieved the Innate Physical Elixir! The speed of his improvement has surpassed my expectations. I'm looking forward to his improvement," Pei San sighed. "Unfortunately, he was born too late…"
The sigh could be heard reverberating in the room.
Others could not help but feel sad after they heard this noise.
Tie Ta glanced at Pei San's facial expression and quickly said in a low voice. "Master, Uncle has attacked Xiaoyao Palace, and he must be waiting for you now. Let's go converge with Uncle."
"Alright!" Pei San nodded and got up.
Du Mengjuan and Tie Ta immediately followed Pei San in leaving the inn.
…
In the inn where Teng Qingshan stayed.
Bang! Bang!
After placing those two boxes on the floor, Teng Qingshan quickly closed the windows and door of the room. He then took the clothes box out from one of the boxes and placed it under his blanket.
'It would be troublesome if others discovered the Godly Axe and Karmic Spears.' Teng Qingshan was very careful.
To Teng Qingshan, the boxes containing the tea bricks were only used to disguise his identity.
There seemed to be nothing special about the luggage box from both outside or inside. However, once somebody knock the partition iron sheet away, they would discover that… The bottom layer contained two-sectioned spears and Godly Axe.
'Alright, tomorrow I shall find a trading company, mix into the caravans and head to Yuzhou City!' Teng Qingshan thought to himself.
The journey was to travel northwest from Yangzhou City, pass through Qingzhou City, Yuzhou City, before arriving at Yanzhou City. They would travel north after entering the prairie before finally arriving at the far north area. After drifting more than ten thousand miles in the North Sea, they would arrive at their destination — the North Sea Continent. Teng Qinshan had to go to the North Sea Continent!

First of all, he was strong, powerful and godly so he was capable of achieving Innate Golden Elixir. However, to maintain his spirit only was not sufficient to enter the Void Realm.
Achieving the Void Realm would give him the right to speak in the entire Jiu Continent!
Secondly, it was also to obey his promise to the Emperor Yu.
It had to be agreed that this move from the Emperor Yu was really good… Void Realm was sufficient to attract the martial artists in rushing over to the North Sea Continent.
…
In the evening, Teng Qinshan was prepared to go downstairs for his dinner.
"Creak!" Teng Qingshan opened his room door and walked onto the corridor.
"Little He," Teng Qingshan smiled and shouted. The door of the room next to Teng Qingshan's room was opened widely. Little He and his mother stayed in this room. At this moment, Little He was waving a wooden stick.
"Uncle Qin." Little He immediately shouted.
"Not only will you have to practice this slash every day, you must also use your brain when you slash. Do you understand?" Teng Qingshan smiled and said, "For instance, think about how you can slash the fastest. You must correct your posture little by little. For instance, the way you stand when you slash with both hands and the way you stand when you slash with one hand is different. You must ponder continually...until you find the posture that suits you the most. You can only slash with the greatest speed this way. Do you understand?"
"Oh."
Little He widened his big eyes as he pondered,
He was just a child and could only wave that wooden stick stiffly to complete the task his teacher had given him. However, the progress would then be too slow.
"Remember this. Learn to use your brain." Teng Qingshan smiled.
"It looks like Brother Qin Wei is also an expert." At this moment, Ma Jinxiao came out from another room.
Teng Qingshan smiled helplessly and said, "I am not some expert. Although I am good at playing petty tricks, but I am ordinary. Even after training for twenty to thirty years, this was the result! Once I sell my tea bricks and earn a great sum of money, me and my family will not worry about food anymore. I can also teach that boy of mine.....At least, he has to be stronger than me, his father."
"I envy you, Brother Qin Wei, for being able to have children that you can teach." Ma Jinxiao sighed emotionally.
"Brother Ma, let's go eat dinner together. Little He, you should rest for a while too." Teng Qingshan said.
"I just came back from outside and I have already eaten dinner." Ma Jinxiao laughed and said.
With this, Ma Jinxiao stepped into Little He's room and Teng Qingshan walked in with him.
"Creak!" Ma Jinxiao closed the door.
Teng Qingshan glanced at Ma Jinxiao in surprise as he thought, "Why did he close the door?"
"Little He." Ma Jinxiao casted a glance at the child.
"Teacher!" Little He immediately threw his chest out and stood straightly.
Ma Jinxiao laughed and caressed Little He's head, causing Little He to be overwhelmed by this unexpected love. His teacher was very strict. He might provide good food, but such gestures of love were rare.
"Little He, what your Uncle Qin said was very right. Whether it is the practice of saber or sword, you must learn to use your brain. Those that only copy the saber skills or sword art of the previous generation are mostly very ordinary. However, if you learn to think, you can avoid detours and mistakes during your cultivation!" Ma Jinxiao grinned, "Little He, you have great willpower and you are talented. If you learn to think, make changes, and practice assiduously, you will definitely succeed."
"However, there's something your teacher needs to do."
Ma Jinxiao took out a book of secret techniques and handed it to Little He's mother as he said, "Madam Tan, this book explains everything. If I can return after I finish what I need to do, I will teach Little He about this book myself.....However, if I do not make it back, have Little He learn how to read and write first, and let him read this book himself.
"Teacher, you..you are leaving me?" Tan He was so shocked that he quickly held onto his teacher's leg.
"Son." His mother hastily pulled Tan He.
"Little He, stop acting like sissy," Ma Jinxiao scolded, "I, your teacher, have my own things to do! I can't always follow you.... Madame Tan, there are silver notes in the book of secret technique. If you use it frugally, it would be enough for a dozen years."
The eyes of Madame Tan and the child reddened.
They all realized that....their benefactor, Ma Jinxiao, was going out to do something very dangerous.
"Teacher." The seven to eight years old Tan He knelt down, making a bang sound.
He then did three kowtows!
His forehead was red and swollen. Tan He looked up at his teacher with tears welling up in his eyes, "Teacher, all of my other relatives have died. I only have you, teacher, and mother. Teacher.....this martial art.. You must come back and teach me! I won't be able to learn well if you are not here!"
Ma Jinxiao's heart ached, but he still said, "Be strong. Don't cry." With this, Ma Jinxiao opened the door and left.
"Sniff....." Tan He burst into tears.
As Teng Qingshan saw this, he sighed secretly. He then caressed Tan He's head and said softly, "Little He, don't worry. Your teacher will definitely return to teach you."
"Yes, definitely." Xiao He hastily nodded.
