Chapter 143: Rising Fame, Visiting Card from Taiping Escort Agency
After coming out of the study, Shen Qing's eyes passed through the familiar corridor and finally stopped on the half-open wooden door. He walked up slowly, pushed it open and walked in.

This is the small courtyard where Ouyang Tiezhu and other senior brothers practice and exchange ideas with him.

At this time in the past, several brothers would have already gathered and started practicing boxing and martial arts in the house, but today the courtyard was unusually deserted.

After the Mi Gang incident, the second senior brother Niu Daping, the third senior brother Dong Zizhuang, and the fourth senior brother Wu Shili all suffered misfortunes, some died and some were disabled.

In the past, the shouts of boxing practitioners, the crisp sounds of weapons colliding, and the lively scenes of laughter and scolding each other in the yard can no longer be reproduced.

Shen Qing walked to the center of the yard, took a deep breath, slowly got into a stance, and closed his eyes.

Thanks to his photographic memory, the moves and key points that Li Linfeng had just taught him kept emerging in his mind.

puff...

Shen Qing's energy circulated throughout his body, and his energy turned into flesh from his bones, bursting out through his skin along his fingers.

Accompanied by a whistling sound, the force broke out of the body and hit the floor tiles, causing them to crack with a sound and many tiny cracks to appear on them.

"In the past, when my energy burst out of my body, it would disintegrate upon hitting the wall. Now, it can even crack floor tiles. This is a big improvement, and it is stronger than before. But this is still far from enough."

Shen Qing remembered clearly that Li Linfeng's Lingfeng Finger was now able to use its strength to create a hole in the floor tiles.

He simply can't do that now.

Not to mention, it is impossible to hurt those warriors whose bodies are as strong as iron walls with just a little power.

To a certain extent, the Lingfeng force condensed in the body can hurt some masters, while the Lingfeng force that breaks out of the body can only hurt ordinary people.

“That’s still not enough.”

Shen Qing lowered his head and pondered, and subconsciously brought out the ink panel, and the relevant progress information about Lingfeng Finger appeared in front of him.

[Skill: Lingfeng Finger (Perfect)]

[Progress: 16/500 points]

[Status: cannot be upgraded]

[Note: The disciple surpasses the master. After continuous practice, you have already practiced this martial art to perfection. If you continue to practice and master Lingfeng Jin, you can break the limit of this martial art.]

"According to the notes on the ink panel, Ling Fengzhi's martial arts still have room for improvement and can break through the limit. Since it is unlikely to open up the Qi Sea realm at the moment, it is better to focus all your energy on martial arts training, and cultivate various martial arts to perfection while nourishing your Qi."

Shen Qing looked around at the empty courtyard and said, "In this chaotic world where human lives are worthless, it is better to have more strength and peace of mind."

After he made up his mind, he immediately started practicing again, first practicing thoroughly on some of the strength-using techniques that Li Linfeng had taught him.

Shen Qing was concentrating on his cultivation and realized that it was already afternoon in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that it was almost time, he went to Linfengtang's pharmacy to get some medicine to take back.

Ah Fu was busy in a servant's room in the outer courtyard. When he saw Shen Qing coming in, he hurriedly said politely, "Master Shen, you're here. Do you want to get some medicine?"

As the manager of Linfeng Hall, after Shen Qing obtained the military status, Ah Fu had already calmly lowered himself and no longer dared to address Shen Qing as a fellow disciple.

Shen Qing did not deliberately ask for anything else, and nodded: "Just grab some."

Ah Fu said respectfully, "The master has sent a message that you can take any medicine in this room, Master Shen, without paying any money."

In Shen Qing's eyes, Li Linfeng is a very capable person, and he expected to make such an arrangement.

He smiled and said, "Then I won't hesitate and will do it myself."

"Master Shen, take your time with it. I'll go take care of other things first." Ah Fu knew very well that some prescriptions were top secret and could not be known to others.

He tactfully left the servants' room, leaving Shen Qing alone.

After he left, Shen Qing took out the fundamental prescription that Li Linfeng had given him, picked up a few prescriptions according to the comparison above, and then picked up some of the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Prescription to take back, intending to give them to Shanwa, Xiaohu and others to strengthen their bodies.

After dealing with these chores, Shen Qing took the scratching Shen Xiaohu back to the courtyard.

Shen Xiaohu realized that everyone in his family had moved to the big house, leaving him alone, and suddenly he became unhappy.

Shen Qing walked behind Shen Xiaohu and patted the back of his head: "What's wrong? Are you not happy to have your own room? Stop wasting time and act like a woman. Come in." With that, Shen Qing pushed open the door and walked in.

Shen Xiaohu followed in a daze.

"Qingzi, you're finally back." As soon as he entered the door, Uncle Shen Er came forward and said impatiently.

"Uncle, what's going on?"

Uncle Shen Er pulled Shen Qing to the stone table, pointed at a stack of invitations and a wooden box on it and said, "After you left this morning, many people came to see you and wanted to give you this... this... yes, yes, yes, a visiting card. They had to put it here. Every family that came handed over some gifts, saying they congratulated you on your move to the inner city. I don't understand, they are all put here, take a look."

"A greeting card?"

Shen Qing probably came to visit because all the people in the city knew about his deeds of slaying demons and killing the Mi Gang.

Shen Qing put the medicine in his hand on the table, opened one of the visiting cards and read it carefully.

"The Divine Hand Sect..."

He glanced through it roughly, and the general meaning was that the Shenshou Sect was going to host a banquet for him at Wanfeng Tower, and promised to give him huge profits as long as he joined the Shenshou Sect.

Shen Qing put down the visiting card and picked up another one.

"Flying Eagle Hall."

"The Quick Knife Gang."

"Red door."

"..."

Shen Qing quickly browsed through the visiting cards one by one. The contents of them were all similar, and basically they were all attempts to win him over.

"Hmm? Taiping Escort Agency."

Shen Qing found a familiar name among the many visiting cards.

Shen Qing still had some impression of the Taiping Escort Agency.

Before the incident at Linfeng Hall, his senior brother Ouyang Tiezhu had looked for a blind date for him. In order to cope with the situation, he chose a lady from the Taiping Escort Agency.

If he remembered correctly, the lady's name should be Tang Wanrou.

Shen Qing lowered his head and glanced at the signature - Tang You.

The chief escort of Taiping Escort Agency.

It’s definitely their home.

Shen Qing opened the visiting card and took a look. The content was similar to that of other sects. They invited him to be an escort and promised him ten gold coins per trip.

This little money can't attract him at the moment.

Shen Qing shook his head, put the visiting card aside, and opened the wooden box.

There were fifty or sixty silver ingots neatly lying inside.

Shen Qing pushed the silver to his uncle Shen Er and said, "Uncle, Shanwa said that the horse feed at home is not good. Take him to the market to buy some."

When Uncle Shen Er saw the box being pushed over, his expression was stunned and his breathing gradually became rapid.

This is dozens of taels of silver.

If he were in the village, he would have to work hard for three to five years to get it, but he didn't expect Shen Qing to give it to him without even blinking an eye.

"Qingzi, this is too precious. I...I..."

Shen Qing smiled and said, "Uncle, you have helped me a lot when we were in trouble. It's time for me to repay you. You can take the money. If it's not enough, tell me. If you feel bad, you can go and call Zhang Shuchi later and ask him to settle the bill for me. How do you do that?"

After a while, Uncle Shen Er's old eyes narrowed into two slits, and he smiled, as if he was somewhat relieved, and nodded heavily: "Okay!"
