Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 52 Monitoring Kyoto
Fan Xian said goodbye to Lin Wan'er and prepared to return home to prepare medicine.

But on the way back, Fan Xian still met with Li Chengze. After a verbal exchange, he took Teng Zijing and Fan Ruoruo to the market to purchase the medicinal materials he needed, and then hurried back home.

"If I had known Wan'er's tuberculosis was so serious, I should have spent more time with Brother Feibai so I could learn his acupuncture techniques that can save lives and kill people at the same time!"

Fan Xian was muttering to himself and was about to study how to prepare the medicine when a strange noise came from the roof.

Fan Xian immediately became alert, thinking to himself, "Here comes a thief! Haha, he's in my hands!"

After saying that, Fan Xian hid in the dark, ready to take down the thief.

"oops!"

Wang Qinian's voice reached Fan Xian's ears, and the next moment, a dark figure fell into the yard.

The figure's owner was none other than Wang Qinian. As soon as he landed, he headed straight for the house. Hidden in the shadows, Fan Xian and Teng Zijing exchanged a speechless glance, then gestured, preparing to restrain Wang Qinian so they could learn the whereabouts of Teng Zijing's wife and children.

Wang Qinian entered the house and looked around with a shifty look in his eyes.

He soon set his eyes on the snacks on Fan Xian's table, grabbed a few pieces and put them into his mouth without any hesitation.

"Um"

Wang Qinian showed an expression of enjoyment, and quickly took out two pieces of brown paper from his arms and wrapped the remaining snacks.

"This guy is really rude!"

Fan Xian was a little speechless, feeling that Wang Qinian was a little too familiar.

"on!"

The two rushed out together and soon rushed to Wang Qinian's side. They grabbed his shoulders and pressed him directly on the table.

"Hey hey!"

Wang Qinian screamed, "Sir, it's me, Wang Qinian!"

Fan Xian glanced at Teng Zijing, and they both nodded and let him go. Wang Qinian struggled to his feet, saying hastily, "Master Commissioner, I have been ordered to take Teng Zijing... Ah!"

As soon as Wang Qinian turned around, he saw Teng Zijing looking at him with a cold face behind him.

"Teng Zijing, weren't you killed by Lord Tisi?"

Wang Qinian deliberately pretended to be panic-stricken. After all, Chen Pingping had already told him that Teng Zijing was not dead.

It was Chen Pingping who specifically told him to protect his wife and children.

Teng Zijing gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Qinian, someone told me that you protected my wife and children. Where are they now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Qinian couldn't help but become curious. "It's true that I took your wife and children away for protection, but who told you that?"

Hearing Wang Qinian's words, Teng Zijing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly grabbed Wang Qinian and asked, "Where are they, mother and daughter? Tell me quickly!"

"Wait first!"

Upon seeing this, Fan Xian quickly tried to smooth things over and told the story, but he kept silent about Leng Feibai.

If he really spread the news about Leng Feibai, he would definitely be beaten to a pulp by Leng Feibai.

After hearing what happened, Wang Qinian immediately pretended to be relieved and said quickly, "Brother Teng, don't worry. I have indeed hidden your wife and children. They are safe now..."

When Fan Xian saw that the misunderstanding was resolved, he breathed a sigh of relief and went to get Lin Wan'er's medicine.

On the other hand, Wang Qinian also promised to take Teng Zijing to find his wife and children tonight so that the family could be reunited.

As they were talking, a servant walked in and said, "Master Fan Xian, Prince Jing has sent a visiting card, inviting you to visit Zuixian Tower tonight!"

"Zui Xian Tower!"

Fan Xian was stunned. He turned to look at Wang Qinian and Teng Zijing and asked, "What place is that?"

"You don't know?" Teng Zijing was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's one of the most famous brothels on the Liujing River in Kyoto. The head prostitute, Si Lili, is said to have royal blood."

"I go"

Fan Xian's expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Is Old Li trying to trick me? I just met Wan'er today, and he took me to a brothel. If Wan'er finds out, how will I explain it?"

"What are you afraid of?"

Teng Zijing looked at Fan Xian and said with a smile, "There are many talented people on Liujing River who go there to recite poems and compose essays, creating many romantic stories. At most, after you go there, you can have a few drinks with Li Hongcheng. Just don't have any contact with the courtesan!"

Fan Xian was very upset, but he also planned to do it. After all, he had a good time with Li Hongcheng today, and it would not be a good thing to refuse too strongly, so he nodded and agreed.

"This bastard!"

Leng Feibai, who was inside the courtyard, quickly sensed Fan Xian's plans for the night through the talisman clone he had left in Fan Xian's courtyard. He couldn't help but rub his head, "I hope it won't cause any more trouble. But right now, Emperor Qing is still a human being. Apart from the Niulan Street assassination attempt, no one else can threaten Fan Xian's safety."

After saying that, Leng Feibai ordered all the talisman clones to continue tracking and monitoring, then he took out a deep blue jade bottle from his arms and poured the pills in the bottle into his mouth.

"Um"

After taking the pill, Leng Feibai groaned and a stream of black blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Ever since Leng Feibai practiced the Shennong Liuli Gong, in order to speed up his cultivation, he would take a few bottles of poison from Fan Xian every once in a while, and then use the Shennong Liuli Gong to devour and disintegrate the poison to improve his skills.

"The poison Fan Xian prepared this time is quite potent, but it's not enough to stump me!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he closed his eyes and concentrated, mobilizing the true energy in his body to refine the poison in his body.

The emerald green true Qi slowly rose around Leng Feibai, instantly transforming all the toxins in his body and dispersing them around him.

Some of the plants in the yard also began to grow faster under the nourishment of Shennong Liuli Gong.

"Um"

Leng Feibai groaned, suddenly opened his eyes, and the green plants in the yard immediately came into his sight.

Ivy, morning glory vines, weeds...

Various green plants densely cover the entire yard.

Even the peach trees, which had lost most of their leaves and branches in late autumn, had grown new leaves and buds, and in some places there were two or three green peaches hanging.

Seeing this, Leng Feibai's hands changed continuously, and a large number of emerald green light spots were released from the green plants in the yard, and flew into his body under Leng Feibai's guidance.

Most of the green plants died after a few breaths, and when the wind blew, they turned into powder and scattered everywhere.

"boom"

A green energy burst out, and Leng Feibai exhaled a green breath from his mouth, his eyes full of excitement.

"Done! The tenth level of Shennong Liuli Gong!"

Leng Feibai felt the changes in the true energy in his body and was very happy.

"The injury has mostly recovered, but it will take about a month to fully recover."

Leng Feibai thought to himself, "As long as I can master the last three levels, I can begin to comprehend the highest level of Shennong Liuli Gong, the three major techniques attached to Shennong smelting."

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, he raised his hand and a box containing the inner elixir of the golden-scaled python appeared in his hand.

"To reach the Grandmaster level, it's impossible without external help."

Leng Feibai looked at the inner elixir in the box, his eyes full of determination.

"Now is not the time yet. Even if we really want to refine this thing, we have to wait until Niulan Street is over!"
