Chapter 263: Chapter 181: You Might Even Know Each Other

"Oh, is that so? Don’t worry, Luo, I’ll definitely help you with this. Leave it to me. Tomorrow, I’ll have my Scholar’s Attendant find you. Just give him the person’s information then."

Wu Wende raised his wine cup and drained it in one go.

"Excellent, excellent! After this is done, I’ll host another banquet for you, Wu." Luo Wei laughed heartily and also drained his cup.

At the same time, a look of delight appeared on his face.

The story of how he and Wu Wende met was quite interesting. Three years ago, at the city’s Spring Breeze Pavilion, Wu Wende got into a fight with someone out of jealousy.

Wu Wende’s cultivation was inferior to his opponent’s, and he was slapped several times on the spot, his face swelling up. Furthermore, the fight between the two had left the main hall of the brothel in complete disarray.

The city patrol guard received a report and rushed to the scene to handle the dispute.

That was when Luo Wei met Wu Wende.

Upon learning of Wu Wende’s family background, Luo Wei naturally took his side. He didn’t say Luo Wei started the trouble; instead, he only said the other party was wrong to resort to violence and immediately had the man beaten with a few dozen planks on the spot.

After that, the relationship between Luo Wei and Wu Wende began to grow closer.

Later, Luo Wei heard that the man who had beaten Wu Wende, along with his entire family of several dozen members, had been wiped out overnight.

After some inquiries, Luo Wei learned that the one who had acted was actually Wu Wende’s personal Scholar’s Attendant.

This incident deepened Luo Wei’s impression of Wu Wende.

He also came to understand that Wu Wende’s Scholar’s Attendant was an expert, a Martial Arts Innate Grandmaster.

A Martial Arts Innate could be called a Grandmaster.

A Grandmaster’s body is incomparably tough, having reached the peak of human potential. Their flesh is as hard as Hundred-refined Steel, not the slightest bit inferior.

And that’s without even cultivating Body-Protecting Techniques like the Golden Bell Shield. If they specialized in such techniques, their physical defense would be even more absurd.

As for the strength of an Innate Martial Arts Grandmaster, it is even more tyrannical, described as having the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers’ Strength.

Of course, the oxen are not ordinary farm cattle, but the Wild Bulls of the Northern Wilderness, a single adult of which possesses five thousand jin of strength. The tigers are not common tigers either, but the Cyan Luo Tigers from the Southern Ten Thousand Mountains, each adult possessing over ten thousand jin of strength.

The Nine Oxen and Two Tigers’ Strength amounts to a force of over seventy thousand jin.

And this is only the base strength of an Innate Grandmaster. With the amplification from Primordial Qi, this force would become even more terrifying.

This force would become even more terrifying.

After learning this, Luo Wei became even more enthusiastic toward Wu Wende and put considerable effort into befriending him.

Now, they presented the very picture of old friends, acting like sworn brothers and appearing incredibly close.

"Heh heh, you’re too kind. But actually, I also have a small matter I’d like to ask for your help with, Luo," Wu Wende said.

"Oh? Whatever you need, just say the word. As long as it’s within my power, I’ll do everything I can to get it done."

Luo Wei pounded his chest boldly and was about to speak again.

"Good! You really are my brother, Luo! As you know, with the Wen Family seeking a marriage alliance, I’ve taken a liking to one of the young women.

But there are a few rivals now, and their chances of being chosen aren’t low. So, to be safe, could you do me a favor, Luo, and make sure these few people quiet down for a while?"

Hearing this, Luo Wei immediately nodded, indicating it wasn’t a problem.

As long as they weren’t from one of those major noble clans that couldn’t be offended, Luo Wei truly didn’t give a damn about the Noble Family Descendants of minor families.

In his eyes, this sort of thing was a trivial effort.

However, at this moment, neither of them told the other the name of the person they wanted dealt with. This was, of course, to prevent any information from leaking and giving their targets a heads-up, which might affect their plans.

...

「The next day.」

Only three days remained before Fang Yue was to leave Earth City for Guangfeng Prefecture.

On this day, Fang Yue consumed the last stalk of blood ginseng, and a surging tide of blood and qi immediately filled his body.

Instantly, a vast amount of Primordial Qi gradually emerged from his limbs and bones, gathering in his Dantian with every breath Fang Yue took.

Fang Yue felt his whole body become light, as if instantly filled with power. His bones all emitted a series of CRACKLING sounds, as though they were about to burst from his body at any moment.

At this very moment,

"Hm?"

just as Fang Yue was preparing to circulate his Cultivation Technique and adjust his Qi, his mind stirred, and a strange sensation spread throughout his entire body.

A moment later, Fang Yue opened his eyes.

His eyes were clear and bright, like a pool of tranquil water.

"My Cultivation Technique broke through!"

’Leveling up with pills is so fast! No wonder so many protagonists in the novels I read in my past life did it!’ Fang Yue sighed internally, but a smile touched the corners of his mouth.

Immediately, Fang Yue’s gaze focused.

A few lines of text appeared before him.

[Cultivation Technique: White Tiger Fist (Great Success); Earth Element True Skill (Qi Sensing) (Proficient); Qi Nourishing and Health Cultivation Skill: (Proficient)]

[Talent: 5000 (One in a Thousand)]

[Talent: Advanced Boxing Mastery, Basic Qi Blood Derivation, Advanced Copper Skin and Iron Bones, Beginner’s Qi Sensitivity, Junior Earth True Body]

Consuming the blood ginseng these past few days had massively boosted his Talent Points, which had dropped to just over two thousand after he formed the Junior Earth True Body Talent. Now, they had been upgraded all the way to five thousand.

Moreover, his cultivation over the past few days had also allowed his Qi Nourishing and Health Cultivation Skill and Earth Element True Skill to both reach the Proficient level.

And following the upgrade of these two Cultivation Techniques, the Qi Sensing Talent and Earth True Body that had been formed could now also be upgraded.
