Jinshan Temple.
The Gao Family has been destroyed!
When Liang Sheng heard this news, he couldn’t quite believe it – the Gao Family were a family with two nine-realm martial artists.
Previously, Master Hongzhi had left to become a monk because the alliance between the Liang and Wu families was barely enough to resist the Gao Family.
However, after listening to Ma San’s complete report, Liang Sheng only remained silent for a moment and then shook his head helplessly.
The Gao Family’s loss wasn’t unjustified.
After all, the Liang and Wu families had collaborated with the County Government Office, while the Gao family had been kept in the dark. How could they not lose?
But Zheng Wanchun is also a ruthless person. Fortunately, Liang Sheng had always been non-contentious towards others, treating them politely and deliberately making friends with them.
However, Liang Sheng never expected that Zheng Wanchun, who was rumored to be in the Postnatal Seventh Realm, was actually a big shot in the Postnatal Eighth Realm!
Moreover, looking at the cooperation between the Liang and Wu families and the County Government Office, Liang Sheng feared that there was an even greater trump card besides Zheng Wanchun.
At this moment, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but admire the subtleties of this three-way cooperation and became even more cautious, taking it as a warning.
Even if one’s strength is high, caution is needed unless one is invincible. One must not be overly conspicuous and be careful not to make oneself a target.
The Gao family was too ostentatious, which led to such an outcome.
Now, in Jinzhou City, the County Government Office and the Liang and Wu families are dividing up the property left by the Gao Family, so the city will be in chaos for a while.
Since that’s the case, Liang Sheng simply decided to stay at Jinshan Temple for a few more days until everything had completely settled down before considering going back.
In fact, no matter the outcome of the turmoil in Jinzhou City, Liang Sheng had long made plans and was fully prepared for anything.
If the Liang family were eventually defeated, Liang Sheng would leave without hesitation, since he already had enough silver notes on him to live a carefree life for several generations.
However, the current outcome was even better for Liang Sheng, since the stronger the Liang family became, the more comfortable his life would be.
Days went by, and Ma San brought good news: Jinzhou City was now completely calm, with the situation completely stabilized.
Even so, Liang Sheng forced himself to stay an extra day before bidding farewell and preparing to return to Jinzhou City.
Jinshan Temple didn’t try to stop him, Masters Hongzhi remained his old acquaintance and personally sent him off.
“Master Hongzhi, when you have time to visit the city, you must come to find me. Of course, if I am troubled in the future, I might have to disturb your temple again.”
Hongzhi clasped his hands together in response, laughing and saying, “Layman, feel free to come whenever you wish. The doors of Jinshan Temple will always be open for you.”
Then, Liang Sheng got into the horse carriage, while Ma San drove the horses away. Liang Sheng looked back at Jinshan Temple from inside the carriage.
In the future, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not come here again. After all, Jinshan Temple was not exactly a benevolent place, so it was best to be careful.
…
Jinzhou City.
In the past few days, Shengde Building’s business had been even better than before the chaos, and the owner, Old Duan, was all smiles.
This year’s dividends might be even more generous than in previous years.
With the Gao family’s destruction, the Liang and Wu families and the County Government Office became rich and prosperous. Consequently, business at Shengde Building faced less competition, and their turnover doubled from before.
This was the benefit of having powerful forces. As long as they did not cause trouble, they could make money just by lying down, without the need to struggle.
Today, Liang Sheng finally showed up at the tavern. He had headed straight to Yichun Building to enjoy music and entertainment at the brothel as soon as he entered the city that evening.
Madame Spring Lady’s smile never left her face these past days. Liang Sheng had been holding back for quite a while, even calling for two girls to relieve himself on the first night.
In the following days, Liang Sheng spent several nights at Yichun Building while ensuring that he completed his cultivation.
Finally, after a night of passion last night, Liang Sheng yawned and appeared in the tavern in the morning, taking a short rest at the counter.
At this moment, he heard the waiter’s voice, hurriedly opened his eyes and saw Zheng Wanchun entering the door.
“Sheriff Zheng, long time no see, how have you been recently?”
As Liang Sheng greeted him with a jug of good wine and some side dishes carried by another waiter, Zheng Wanchun sat down without any hypocrisy and patted Liang Sheng’s shoulder.
“You kid, why don’t you have any martial arts talent?”
Zheng no longer pretended, as a master in the Post-Natal “Eighth” Level, he was considered a local big shot in Jinzhou City.
The news of the battle that night had spread among the people, although there were some absurd details, it was mostly accurate.
But even so, Liang Sheng still treated himself as warmly as before, without any flattery.
Liang Sheng laughed casually at this moment: “You are my guest in the tavern, and naturally, I should treat you well. As for the path of martial arts, I have already let it go.”
“Since I have no desires, naturally I can see things more clearly and be less hypocritical.”
“Well said, no desires, no lies.”
At this moment, Liang Sheng had already poured wine for Zheng Wanchun, who was even more impressed with Liang Sheng and raised his glass.
Afterward, Zheng Wanchun and Liang Sheng became more and more engaged in conversation, and if it weren’t for a constable coming to report that the County Lord was looking for him, he would probably continue talking with Liang Sheng.
“Let’s call it a day, and next time we’ll go out drinking and not return until we’re drunk.”
After bidding farewell to Zheng Wanchun, Liang Sheng stayed in the tavern until evening, returned home, and did not plan to go to Yichun Building today.
After practicing all the techniques, he had a faint feeling that the other nine Health Cultivation Methods were on the verge of a breakthrough.
Naturally, he was somewhat looking forward to it. When these nine techniques break through the unprecedented 10th Layer, who knows how much lifespan will be added to him.
For this reason, Liang Sheng did not go out for the next few days. On this night, he took a bath and changed clothes, waiting for his mood to gradually calm down before starting his cultivation.
Today is the breakthrough day.Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)
When Liang Sheng opened his eyes, there was laughter in them, and he didn’t expect that the gain this time would be much greater than he had imagined.
Not only did he break through the remaining nine levels of the Health Cultivation Methods to the unprecedented tenth level, but the drastic increase in his lifespan directly added 180 years.
If Liang Sheng did nothing in the future, he alone could outlive nearly four Postnatal Nine-layered Martial Artists.
If he was willing to live, one person could establish a noble family!
However, Liang Sheng wouldn’t think about it too much. He was extremely excited, not only because of the skyrocketing lifespan but also because the qualitative change in his internal energy caused by these Health Cultivation Methods allowed him to successfully break through to the Postnatal Seventh Realm.
At this moment, Liang Sheng’s Attribute Panel had completely changed-
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 33
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top grade)
Techniques: Golden Dragon Technique (6th Layer), Longevity Skill (11th Layer), Other Health Cultivation Methods (10th Layer), Unmoving Ming King Seal (1st Layer)
Realm: Martial Artist Postnatal Seventh Layer (1%)
In other words, Liang Sheng, the so-called trash of the Liang family, had entered the high-level martial arts realm overnight!
