Evil of all ages

Chapter 232 Everything is being controlled by an invisible hand

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Cheng Zichen waiting for him at the door, holding a box.

"How about it?"

When Cheng Zichen saw Huang Yunyou come out, he asked him if he had gained anything.

"Yes, my cultivation has improved a lot. In a few days, I should be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm."

Huang Yunyou trusted Cheng Zichen and had no need to hide anything from him.

Cheng Zichen's lips twitched involuntarily when he heard Huang Yunyou speak so casually.

Look, is this even human language?

It should be noted that among the younger generation in the martial arts world today, anyone under the age of 25 who breaks through to the Innate Realm is considered a prodigy.

Those who break through to the Innate Realm between the ages of 25 and 28 are all martial arts prodigies.

Those who break through to the innate level between the ages of 28 and 30 are all geniuses.

If he remembers correctly, Huang Yunyou and his sister are the same age, only twenty years old this year.

A twenty-year-old with innate talent could definitely be ranked on the list of prodigies.

Huang Yunyou's reputation had not yet spread, which is why his name was not on the list of geniuses.

If Huang Yunyou breaks through.

At the mid-stage of the Innate Realm at the age of twenty, he could definitely rank among the top three on the list of prodigies.

What he didn't know was that Huang Yunyou was a weak and powerless scholar when he was 17 years old.

If he had known that Huang Yunyou had reached his current level in just three years, he probably would never have wanted to speak to that freak Huang Yunyou again.

"I have already sent the commoners to report to the authorities, and I believe the officials will arrive soon."

"Thanks to you for letting me check out the Wolf Gang's treasure vault, otherwise we would have missed out on a lot of good stuff."

As Cheng Zichen spoke, he opened the box he had brought to show Huang Yunyou.

Huang Yunyou didn't think a gang that didn't even have a Xiantian expert could have anything good.

But seeing the slightly surprised smile on Cheng Zichen's face, she still became curious and looked into the box.

Then he was a little surprised to find that in addition to banknotes, gold, and silver, there were also two century-old medicines in the box.

"This ginseng is at least 150 years old, and this Ganoderma lucidum is the oldest, probably 300 years old."

Upon hearing Cheng Zichen's introduction, Huang Yunyou nodded. These two century-old medicinal herbs were highly beneficial to martial artists.

If used properly, it can help you break through one or two minor levels.

Of course, this only works for martial artists below the Innate level.

It's not that it's ineffective against those with innate strength; it does have some effect.

It doesn't offer much help to those with innate strength; at most, it can increase their power a little.

Seeing that Huang Yunyou wasn't very interested in the two century-old medicines, Cheng Zichen put them down and took out the pill bottle hidden in the box.

"Do you know what this is?"

"Qi-Boosting Pill"

"It can increase a martial artist's skill!"

"This must have been bought back from the ghost market in Beijing by Tan Sanhua at a great cost."

“Pills like the Qi-Boosting Pill are usually packaged in bottles of five.”

"I opened it and checked; there are three Qi-boosting pills left inside."

“I’ve inquired about Tan San. Half a month ago, Tan San was only at the mid-stage of the Acquired Realm.”

"He must have taken two Qi-boosting pills to break through to the late stage of the Acquired Realm."

Cheng Zichen guessed.

"Does the ghost market in the capital still sell elixirs?"

Before Huang Yunyou left the capital, he knew that there was a ghost market in the capital, but he did not know that the ghost market even sold elixirs.

"Yes, we have all kinds of elixirs, even the Great Rejuvenation Elixir from Shaolin Temple."

"Not just pills, but also rare and precious herbs, divine weapons, and so on. As long as you want it and can afford the price, the Ghost Market can get it for you."

Cheng Zichen put the pills back and handed the whole box to Huang Yunyou.

It wasn't that he didn't want it; it was that he knew that if Huang Yunyou didn't intervene, he alone wouldn't be able to take down the Wolf Gang.

These spoils naturally all belonged to Huang Yunyou.

"Can this Qi-boosting pill increase the power of a Xiantian expert?"

Huang Yunyou did not take the box, but looked at the pill bottle inside and asked Cheng Zichen.

"cannot"

"The Qi-Boosting Pill can only increase the power of a martial artist who has acquired martial skills."

Cheng Zichen replied.

"I don't need it, why would you give it to me? You can keep it for yourself."

Huang Yunyou said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zichen didn't stand on ceremony with Huang Yunyou and took the Qi-boosting pill. He knew he was weak and couldn't help Huang Yunyou at all, so he longed to become stronger.

After receiving the elixir, he gave two century-old medicinal pills to Huang Yunyou.

These two century-old medicines will be helpful to Huang Yunyou, and can help him break through to the mid-stage of the Innate Realm as soon as possible.

"No need. These two century-old medicines have negligible effect on me and will not increase my power much at all."

"Keep it for yourself."

"I need you to get stronger quickly, because we're facing Tiejiabao next."

"There is more than one Xiantian in Tiejiabao. If you can't help, I'm afraid I can't rescue Linlin by myself."

Huang Yunyou had been eating the precious fish and snake at the bottom of the cliff for three years, and now with the help of the system, he no longer cared about the two century-old medicines.

"But……"

Cheng Zichen felt that he had already accepted the Qi-boosting pill, and if he accepted two more century-old medicines, he would feel a little guilty.

"What kind of relationship do we have? Why are you being so polite with me?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zichen thought it made sense. If Huang Yunyou married his sister in the future, he would be Huang Yunyou's brother-in-law, so he stopped hesitating.

Pack everything up.

Once the officials arrived, the two revealed their identities as the executioners, and the magistrate assured them that the captured girls would be properly settled.

The two then rode away from Qishan County and headed towards Tiejiabao.

On the road
“There is more than one innate expert in Tiejiabao, and there are many of them. It would be too difficult for just the two of us to rescue my sister.”

"Why don't you go to your master and ask him for help?"

Cheng Zichen suggested this to Huang Yunyou.

"My master has passed away."

Huang Yunyou rode ahead on his horse, speaking without turning his head.

"What did you say?"

Your master is dead?

The strongest man in the world is dead?

Cheng Zichen was stunned when he heard the news.

How could the strongest person in the world die?

Hearing Cheng Zichen's startled voice, Huang Yunyou stopped his horse and turned it around to look at Cheng Zichen, who had stopped there.

"The strongest person in the world?"

"you misunderstood."

"My master is not Brother Li."

Huang Yunyou realized that Cheng Zichen had mistaken Brother Li for his master.

"Not Brother Li?"

Cheng Zichen was even more confused. Back then, it was Brother Li who took Huang Yunyou away, so how come his master wasn't Brother Li anymore?

"Talking on the Road"

Cheng Zichen nodded, rode his horse to catch up with Huang Yunyou, and gave Huang Yunyou directions while listening to Huang Yunyou recount his experiences.

After hearing Huang Yunyou's story, Cheng Zichen secretly regretted that if Brother Li were really Huang Yunyou's master, that would be wonderful.

Suddenly, the sounds of fighting came from ahead.

Huang Yunyou and Cheng Zichen exchanged a glance.

As I was about to go forward to take a look, I realized they weren't trying to meddle.

They didn't want to waste time taking a detour.

When they went up to check, they found that they had run into someone they knew.

It's Yuan Xiangsheng!

Yuan Xiangsheng is much more promising than Cheng Zichen.

Three years have passed, and he has broken through from the early stage of the Acquired Realm to the late stage, surpassing Cheng Zichen by one small realm.

And coincidentally, the people chasing Yuan Xiangsheng were from Tiejiabao.

Although encountering Yuan Xiangsheng here was somewhat unexpected, Huang Yunyou and Cheng Zichen did not hesitate at all and immediately stepped in to help Yuan Xiangsheng.

Since the strongest of these enemies was at the peak of the Acquired Realm, they were quickly wiped out by Huang Yunyou and his two companions.

Yuan Xiang Sheng was stunned for a long time when he saw that Huang Yun You was already a Xiantian expert.

Huang Yunyou looked at Yuan Xiangsheng, then at Cheng Zichen, and felt that something was wrong.

Three years ago, they went through thick and thin together.

Now they've reunited.

What a coincidence!

It feels like there's an invisible hand controlling all of this.
