Too many people are dying in this chaotic world? Then I'll activate the control panel!

"Open the panel!"

Wang Sheng had a thought.

Heaven rewards diligence: Learning will surely lead to success.

[Cultivation Level: Great Perfection of Ming Jin]

[Master of Smashing Monuments: Xiao Cheng (999/1000)]

[Alchemy: Minor Success (2/1000)]

[Blood Stacking Technique: Level 1]

[Sinking Stone Stance Exercise: Minor Success (998/1000)]

"I've just completed the minor stage of forging my golden body and refining my physical abilities. A new force has been generated within me."

Wang Sheng felt the immense power hidden beneath his taut body, which filled him with satisfaction and anticipation.

Once you reach the pinnacle of Ming Jin (manifest strength), you can no longer increase your strength. At this point, you either need to strive to become stronger through An Jin (hidden strength), or you need to cultivate a new method to accumulate strength.

Most people are still struggling to master one method, so how could they possibly be distracted by the need to cultivate a second method?

Only some old guys who have hit a bottleneck and dare not rush to advance, fearing serious injury from failure, will turn to cultivating more techniques to build up their strength and ensure that their power does not weaken.

"After achieving minor success in body refinement, my body can almost negate half the power of an ordinary Ming Jin martial artist. If I wear heavy armor, the attacks from Ming Jin martial artists will be like tickling me."

"There's a huge difference between having armor and not having armor. My strength isn't enough for me to stand firm in the chaos of the future, so I can't be arrogant."

"I can start cultivating the second level of the Blood Stacking Technique now. If I succeed in cultivating it and activate the second level, my strength will increase several times over, and my physical defense will also surge in a short period of time. At that time, it should be almost the same as wearing heavy armor."

Wang Sheng mentally assessed his own strength.

He needed to assess the gap between himself and the martial arts masters in the imperial army or the rebel armies, and be prepared at all times for the sudden arrival of chaos.

At this time,

Suddenly, shouts came from outside the door.

When Wang Sheng went outside, he saw that it was a maid from the Li family.

"The Fourth Madam wants you to come over. Come with me quickly."

The maid said rather anxiously.

Wang Sheng frowned slightly. That slut was either itchy or wanted to "breastfeed" again.

However, he is no longer the servant's son who could be manipulated at will.

Even if it's just manipulation, he should be in charge.

Instead of being treated like a plaything, summoned and dismissed at will.

"Tell Fourth Madam that I am busy right now. We'll talk again in a month."

Wang Sheng said calmly.

His priority now is revenge, a surge of hidden power.

Before that, he needs to maintain a high level of energy.

Moreover, Wang Sheng vaguely sensed that this fourth wife was indeed exceptionally talented. Even though he had become a Ming Jin martial artist, he still couldn't feed her enough.

This land is truly full of fertilizer!

Wang Sheng planned to wait until he had made some progress in forging his golden body and then mastered internal strength before giving that slut a good beating.

"You dare!"

"If your wife gets angry, you're in big trouble."

The maid, being the Fourth Madam's personal attendant, knew these secrets and angrily retorted.

"Tell the Fourth Madam. If she wants to win my heart, she should make her endure for a month. Otherwise, she should find someone else."

Wang Shengdao.

"You ungrateful wretch, Madam really misjudged you."

The maid glared angrily at Wang Sheng, uttered a harsh remark, and hurriedly left.

If Wang Sheng doesn't go, then the only one who can ease the burden on the Fourth Madam is her maid.

As for finding someone else, Fourth Madam isn't a real prostitute. Besides, this matter can't be brought into the open, so she can't just find anyone.

Wang Sheng shook his head.

The Fourth Madam did indeed help him, but her demands were incredibly ruthless. His predecessor even lost his life because of her.

If Wang Sheng hadn't practiced martial arts, he would have ended up in roughly the same situation, or even worse.

Wang Sheng walked out of the courtyard and strolled along Mudfish Street for a while before seeing members of the Golden Bull Gang patrolling.

Wang Sheng took out the Golden Bull Gang's guardian token from his pocket and hung it on his waist.

Upon seeing this, the two gang members immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Protector."

"Yes, kill someone for me, a steward of an ordinary wealthy family. All the proceeds from the murder are yours; I will handle the aftermath."

Wang Sheng led the two to a secluded corner and said...

The two gang members exchanged a glance and immediately agreed.

They weren't stupid; they knew this was an opportunity to curry favor with the protector.

Using others to do one's dirty work is nothing new to the Taurus Gang.

Sometimes, when the authorities deliberately mishandle the situation and investigate the Golden Bull Gang for murder, some gang members will voluntarily go to jail to take the blame for their leader. In return, the gang will compensate the members who take the blame.

Although Wang Sheng hasn't mentioned any reward for them, the fact that he's handling the aftermath means that if they kill the steward, Wang Sheng will take care of all the troubles that follow.

"Okay, do you know the Li family? They're the wealthy Li family, just a few streets away. They own a silk shop."

"I know, I know. It was their steward who offended the Protector. How dare he! Protector, rest assured, we will make him suffer a terrible death. He can die however you wish!"

The two henchmen patted their chests and guaranteed it.

If Wang Sheng ordered them to kill the head of the Li family, they certainly wouldn't dare, thinking it was an attempt to find a scapegoat. Because the Li family was a powerful clan, the government needed to catch the murderer to appease the other prominent families.

But if it's just a butler, then it's not too risky.

"Just stab him to death."

Wang Sheng nodded.

He didn't want to personally kill a steward who couldn't cultivate; sending two people would suffice. That way, if anything went wrong, he would have a chance to salvage the situation.

"That's Wang Sheng!"

"It really is Wang Sheng! The Golden Bull Gang is trying to curry favor with him!"

"What happened that day is true!"

Du Suo, carrying a load of pickled vegetable dumplings on his shoulder pole, was walking along Mudfish Street, looking around hoping someone would buy some of his dumplings when he saw Wang Sheng. His expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

After explaining the situation, Wang Sheng walked out of the corner and happened to meet Du Suo, who was staring blankly at him.

Wang Shengchao nodded to Du Suo, hesitated for a moment, and then wanted to go over and chat for a bit.

But Du Suo suddenly turned his head, lowered his head, picked up his load, and ran away quickly.

Wang Sheng was somewhat surprised, but he didn't take it to heart and walked towards the Zhao Family Martial Arts Academy.

As Wang Sheng walked along, he noticed that there were many more beggars on the roadside, and the passersby all looked worried. Every now and then, a few sighs could be heard from the crowds who stopped to chat.

Someone was vaguely saying something: the Great Jing Dynasty is doomed, the old emperor of the court is dying, and the rebel army of Nanling Prefecture has its eyes on our Jiangling Prefecture.

Some people also mentioned that the barbarian tribes of the Han Kingdom in the north had rested for several months and seemed to be preparing to move south to continue the war.

Splash...

Some withered leaves were blown away by the cold wind, making the beggar on the ground shiver and shrink his body.

Wang Sheng's body was like a furnace, and this bit of cold wind only made him feel cool.

But he knew that winter had come.

Whether or not this war is fought, it is fine. But once it starts, even more people will die from the cold and the war itself.

Zhao Family Martial Arts Academy.

Before Wang Sheng even stepped inside, he heard Wu An's laughter.

"It will be in the next few days. Once I develop internal strength and achieve Ming Jin, I will definitely go to Qianhelou and host a banquet to invite my master and fellow disciples."

Wu An said with a loud laugh.

"Senior brother, you're so generous!"

"With the help of the Shan family, Junior Brother Wu is truly destined for great things!"

"It seems that the Bone Strengthening Pill is definitely for Senior Brother."

"I've heard that although this kind of pill is worth fifty taels of silver each, very few people sell it. They all treasure it and keep it hidden away. Even if it is for sale, the price is outrageously high."

A group of people congratulated Wu An, and the atmosphere was lively and cheerful.

Wang Sheng stepped into the martial arts academy, glanced at Wu An, and said, "You're the only one fit for this role? You're getting ahead of yourself."

Wang Sheng only thought of this sentence to himself before continuing to warm up and practice martial arts.

He heard that his master was going to announce something important today, so he rushed over.

Otherwise, he originally planned to ask the gang leader today when to wipe out the White Tiger Gang.

After all, he had borrowed money from the White Tiger Gang at high interest rates in order to quickly advance to the Ming Jin level, and now the White Tiger Gang was getting impatient.
