Chapter 500 Return Home
Innate superhuman strength and an iron-skinned body are two special physical qualities that martial arts practitioners dream of.

Possessing a certain skill allows one to overcome the strong with the weak.

If one can possess both, even if one cultivates ordinary martial arts techniques, one can still defeat powerful enemies of higher levels.

Zhu Ju cultivated the Myriad Spirits Body Forging Technique, devouring the essence and blood of demons to strengthen himself, making his physical foundation far surpass that of his peers. To those unaware of the inside story, it did indeed appear as if he possessed a special talent.

but……

His talent goes far beyond that.

His powerful regenerative abilities allow him to withstand physical injuries and sustain continuous bursts of energy.

Superhuman reaction speed and movement speed...

With various special abilities, Zhu Ju, who was only an eighth-rank martial artist, was able to directly confront a sixth-rank martial artist.

even,

With the support of fist intent and secret techniques, they can still gain a slight advantage.

"With such martial arts talent, you are actually a weapon refiner. You have been hiding your abilities very well."

Wu Tou's face was gloomy, his blood and qi surged, and the water vapor in the void quickly condensed into a form.

Threads of water swirled around his body, transforming into a dragon as he leaped into the air.

The raging waves are powerful!
The water flow may appear delicate and weak, but it is actually incredibly heavy; a gentle tap can shatter stone tablets.

The second brother, wielding a short spear, followed closely behind, a howling wind swirling around him, his wind blades capable of severing gold and jade arriving first despite being behind.

A sixth-rank martial artist's blood and qi can draw upon the power of heaven and earth, and they possess different characteristics depending on the martial arts technique they cultivate.

Wutou belongs to the water element, and therefore can condense heavy water.

The second brother rides the wind, his short spear sharp.

With two sixth-rank experts joining forces, especially one of them being a sixth-rank upper-level expert, Zhu Ju immediately felt the pressure.

"Om..."

His whole body trembled slightly.

A suit of armor appeared on his body, enveloping him.

Minghuang Armor!
Fifth-grade Qi and Blood Divine Weapon.

"when……"

The two attackers landed on the armor, creating visible ripples that forced Zhu Ju to retreat repeatedly.

His body became unsteady and unsteady.

opportunity!

The remaining two men's eyes lit up, and they silently darted out, one wielding a knife and the other a sword, slashing in a cross pattern.

The Mandarin Duck Severance!
The sharp energy condensed and did not dissipate, following the flaw exposed in the Minghuang armor and slashing into Zhu Ju's waist and ribs.

"die!"

The two gritted their teeth and exerted all their strength, only to find that their swords were stuck as if by some hard object.

Although it can exert force, it moves slowly.

Ok?
Suffer!
It's a trap!
The two were taken aback at first, then realized something was wrong and realized it was too late to let go and retreat.

"call……"

A pair of enormous hands descended from the sky, covering the entire sky, and landed on the two people's heads without any fancy moves.

"Peng!"

The energy is surging.

Both of them bled from all seven orifices and collapsed limply to the ground.

"The third one!"

"Lao Wu!"

Wu Tou roared, his eyes bloodshot, and his blood and qi surged out like a volcanic eruption.

"die!"

He swept across an area of ​​several feet in one swift motion.

His palms unleashed a torrent of power, colliding with Zhu Ju, whose body was still pierced by swords and knives.

"boom!"

"Rumble..."

Zhu Ju trembled and retreated repeatedly, his expression becoming solemn.

Qi and Blood Divine Weapon!

The opponent's palm strikes appeared to be frantic, but in reality, dozens of thin steel needles were embedded within the force of his palm strikes.

These steel needles, like magical artifacts wielded by cultivators, flowed into the blood and qi, and were fired wildly at the Minghuang Armor.

Each impact caused the Minghuang Armor to tremble violently.

the other side.

The second brother, wielding a short spear, also pounced forward, his two spears creating a whirlwind, and in an instant, the shadows of spears were numerous.

The whistling sound was like muffled thunder.

The two men launched a fierce attack, forcing Zhu Ju to retreat repeatedly, and he was momentarily overwhelmed.

'It seems my current strength is only enough to contend with a mid-level sixth-rank opponent, even after mastering the essence of fist techniques.'

'One force can overcome ten techniques...'

'The difference in cultivation level is too great; so-called techniques are unlikely to be effective anymore.'

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Ju's eyes narrowed, and a five-colored halo emerged from the palms of his hands.

Five-colored divine light!

"Shh!"

The figure suddenly froze.

"Peng!"

"puff!"

Figures crisscrossed the arena, energy surged, and killing intent collided with the void, only to dissipate completely after a moment.

"Hoo..." Zhu Ju exhaled and turned around.

He had a penetrating wound on his neck, and several needle marks on his waist where his armor was not covering it.

Moreover, he was carrying swords and knives.

This kind of injury.

Not to mention humans, even monsters couldn't survive, yet he seemed perfectly normal.

"impossible."

Wu Tou coughed up blood, his throat moving:
"you……"

"What on earth is it?"

"I am human." Zhu Ju shrugged, and with one hand on his waist, he sucked out the steel needles that had been inserted into his body, tossing them back and forth in his hand.

"You're just a little different from ordinary people. Who are you? And why are you attacking me?"

"Drink..." Wu Tou collapsed to the ground, his face contorted with sarcasm.

"You thought I was going to tell you?"

"You will." Zhu Ju pinched a steel needle, tossed it lightly, and suddenly pierced Wu Tou's forehead.

Spirituality!
"explain?"

"Who are you, and why are you attacking me?"

soon.

"The Qi family?"

Zhu Ju rested his chin on his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
"It turns out that the mine belongs to the Qi family. However, given the Qi family's assets, they wouldn't care about such a small mine. This action was probably taken by them in private, so there's no need to worry about retaliation from the Qi family."

"People in the arena involuntarily."

"I've only been on Lianshan Island for a year, and I've already gotten myself into this mess. I'd better go back to the prefectural city and live a quiet life for a few more years before making any decisions."

Although he won today's battle, it was also somewhat dangerous. With his current cultivation level, dealing with a sixth-rank cultivator is his limit.

If there were a fifth-rank expert...

Certain death!

On Lianshan Island, fifth-rank experts are not uncommon, but in Taiyuan Prefecture, they are almost nonexistent.

It's obvious where it's safer.

After packing his things and looting all the valuables, spiritual weapons, and magical artifacts from the group, Zhu Ju quickly left.

Taiyuan Prefecture.

Zhu Mansion.

Currently, two maids are in charge of the money in the mansion.

Qian Shiyao, Yuanyang.

The former was a man from Zhuju who had been handling the cloth shop business for many years and had the account books and financial records memorized.

Yuanyang was Zhou Ruxuan's personal maid.

Although she wasn't as talented in business as Qian Shiyao, she was quite astute with accounts, scrutinizing every penny, whether it was more or less.

The two worked together in the mansion, initially clashing with each other, but their relationship gradually eased over a year.

"Master."

Qian Shiyao presented the account book:
"These are the accounts from nearly a year after you left. Including the mines outside the city, the manor has earned nearly 100,000 taels in total."

"Net income!"

"Oh!" Zhu Ju looked up:
"Has business been unaffected this year?"

That year, he went into seclusion on Lianshan Island to cultivate, and Zhou Ruxuan also went into seclusion in the Zhou family's Xuanbing Cave.

The business at home was handed over to the two girls, and not only was it not affected, but the profits also increased significantly.

This was indeed beyond his expectations.

As for the 100,000 taels of silver...

This is quite a lot for ordinary people, but he, who has been to Lianshan Island, wouldn't take it seriously.

Gold and silver

It's just a mundane thing.

It has almost no effect on the procurement of materials for officials of the sixth rank and above.

He hadn't expected the two women to earn much money; he just wanted them to keep the Zhu family in its current state.

In no mood.

There was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

"Thanks to Elder Tong."

Mandarin Duck Interface:

"Master Tong is a seventh-rank high-level monk. He helped us withstand pressure from all sides."

"Without him, business would definitely be very difficult."

"Mmm." Qian Shiyao nodded emphatically.

"Old Master Tong?" Zhu Ju frowned.

"That's the mage you rescued from the Eagle Bandits, young master," Yuanyang reminded him.

"Old Master Tong is getting old and doesn't have much time left. In order to repay your life-saving grace, young master, he plans to live out his days in your mansion."

"and……"

"No monthly fee required."

"It's him." Zhu Ju realized.

He remembered this person, but at the time, the other person was seriously injured and unconscious, and he had already gone to Lianshan Island.

A seventh-rank Dharma Master is indeed rare.

In a small place like Taiyuan Prefecture, most problems could be solved.
