Legend of the Great Sage

Chapter 17: 17

Xiao An was both happy and confused .

Li Qingshan searched through the witchs house again . Xiao An stuck right behind him before suddenly extending his small hand and tugging at Li Qingshans trousers, pointing at a particular place .

Li Qingshan found a secret compartment in the wall . It contained a stack of paper, consisting completely of silver notes . He could vaguely recall that there were also private banks in this world, but this was the first time he had seen proper silver notes .

The witch must have buried the pieces of silver when she was still fit . Afterwards, as her strength declined with her age, it became impossible for her to continue digging . As a result, she had exchanged her earnings in the past few years for these convenient silvernotes . There were roughly several hundred taels in the secret compartments . She was so wealthy, yet she had actually fallen out with him over a single boars head, consequently dying in the end .

Li Qingshan finally found what he was looking for at the very bottom of the secret compartment . It was a single leaf out of a book, covered in tiny writing . He glanced through it roughly, and it was a technique to refine souls and control ghosts . The edge of the page was uneven like it had been ripped out of a book .

Li Qingshan practised the Ox Demons Fist of Great Strength and had barely managed to witness the path of cultivation, so he was curious about other techniques as well . He had never thought that the witchs strange techniques would actually come from a single page of a book . If she had possessed the entire book, he probably would have lost his life here today .
