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

Mudfish Street, Wang Family.

Inside the secluded room.

"No wonder the ancient body-refining methods haven't been continued in modern times; it turns out they have the drawback of shortening lifespan!"

Wang Sheng spent half a day learning the basics of the ancient body-refining method, and the panel successfully displayed the entry level.

After discovering that it differed greatly from contemporary methods, he spent several days deciphering the Eight-Line Horizontal Breathing Technique and some ancient books.

Through the original meaning of its methods and the annotations of several generations of the He family, Wang Sheng roughly understood the specific cultivation methods of the ancient body-refining method.

"The eight elements refer to skin, flesh, tendons, bones, blood, internal organs, head, and finally, the ethereal soul."

"From initially forging the skin and flesh, to eventually refining the five internal organs, the head, and even tempering the soul, the goal is to gradually obtain pure physical strength."

"However, this method places too much emphasis on cultivation resources. Stimulating the body's potential with drugs is fine if a breakthrough occurs; each advancement is equivalent to a complete transformation, and lifespan will not be reduced. But if the breakthrough fails, the potential is completely depleted, the body deteriorates, lifespan is severely shortened, and the path of martial arts is almost directly severed. The margin for error is too low."

Wang Sheng, seeing the whole picture through a small part, realized that this body-refining method had many advantages over the ancient one.

Modern body-refining methods have a high margin of error; failure to break through will not significantly shorten one's lifespan.

Moreover, in modern times, the strength of internal energy may not be as powerful as that of the ancients in the early stages, but when it reaches the stage of transforming internal energy, the strength can be extended and unpredictable, and the methods are much stronger than those of the ancients who purely cultivated strength.

"However, wouldn't this ancient cultivation method be perfect for me!"

"I have my own talent and hard work, I won't fail to break through, and there's no risk of shortening my lifespan."

"Although ancient body-refining methods cultivate pure strength and have fewer variations than internal force, I currently lack methods for transforming internal force. Moreover, the strength cultivated through ancient body-refining methods is generally significantly stronger than internal force at the same level!"

"Ancient body-refining methods cultivate pure flesh. Modern internal energy defense is more like a protective shield. But what if you encounter someone who inflicts real damage!"

As Wang Sheng pondered, he recalled a game from his past life where true damage completely ignored protective shields. Even pure tanks were afraid, but they could withstand attacks for a little longer.

"Master, Master. It's time to rest!"

At this time,

Outside the closed-door retreat,

Li Meng wore a hazy, thin gauze dress and glamorous makeup. Her beautiful figure was partially revealed, and her delicate skin shivered from the cold as she softly called out to Wang Sheng.

Wang Sheng and his daughter Li Meng lived in a house next to the old Wang family residence. After buying the house, although they opened up the space, Wang's parents wouldn't come here at night. So Li Meng dressed rather provocatively.

Hearing the call, Wang Sheng snapped out of his reverie.

This was his request; he asked Li Meng to remind him of the time and that he needed to rest these past two days.

The day after the banquet at the Zizai City Governor's Mansion, Wang Sheng realized that Yu Cheng was secretly monitoring him, so he decided to play along and deliberately gave Yu Cheng the opportunity to make love with two beauties every night for the next two nights.

Since the problem can be solved on one's own turf, and the enemy is simply delivering himself to his death, why should Wang Sheng waste time searching for Yu Cheng and specifically looking for an empty place to kill him?

but,

Wang Sheng has now changed his mind.

He didn't want to waste any more time on women's bellies; deliberately revealing a flaw would be tantamount to sending himself to his death.

This ancient body-refining method has truly attracted Wang Sheng, as it can provide him with tremendous assistance and is very likely the key to his breakthrough to the Transformation Realm.

Therefore, Wang Sheng decided to formally enter seclusion in the meditation room and not see anyone.

If Yu Cheng really wants to kill him, then let's meet in the secluded room.

"Master, my chest hurts a little, it feels so heavy! Could you please rub it for me?"

At this moment, Wang Qinshi walked over naked and said in a coquettish tone.

For an ordinary woman, the most attractive thing is when she is partially concealed.

But for women with excellent figures, curvaceous and voluptuous like watermelons, walking completely naked is a breathtaking experience, with every step creating a surging, white wave-like effect.

Wang Sheng didn't see it, but Li Meng was really gritting her teeth, cursing the slut and shameless woman in her heart, but in reality, she was extremely envious of that nearly one or two pounds of meat.

Ever since Li Meng decided to compete with her mother, Wang Qinshi, for the emperor's favor and prevent Wang Qinshi's petty schemes from succeeding, the two have been vying for Wang Sheng's affections.

unfortunately,

Wang Qinshi had too many tricks up her sleeve and was too good at seducing people, which caused Li Meng to fall into a disadvantageous position time and time again, and to compete with her again and again.

Just as Li Meng was glaring angrily at Wang Qinshi, Wang Sheng's voice came from the seclusion room, "From today onwards, I will officially go into seclusion. From now on, send me food every day. Each meal must contain at least ten catties of meat."

Ancient body-refining methods required consuming meat excessively.

Li Meng looked disappointed, but also relieved that Wang Sheng hadn't come out today, otherwise she would definitely have lost again.

"Yes, Master. Master, I would like to buy another maid."

Wang Qinshi said respectfully.

"Can!"

"We can add more maids and cooks. You can decide what to do."

Wang Sheng responded.

"Master, I don't want anything, I want to save you money!"

Li Meng suddenly spoke softly.

"roll!"

Wang Sheng uttered a single, indifferent word.

Now is not the time to watch this little bitch show off her skills.

"Women only affect how hard I try."

"Let me see just how powerful this ancient body-refining method really is!"

Wang Sheng looked at the animal skin book in his hand and began to practice the Eight Gates Horizontal Breathing Technique.

While Wang Sheng was in seclusion

Meanwhile, Yu Cheng also began his seclusion.

After gathering information about Wang Sheng's daily routine, Yu Cheng planned to use a potent aphrodisiac on Wang Sheng while he was indulging in pleasure, causing him to die on a woman's belly.

This way, Wang Sheng could be eliminated without anyone noticing, a murder that leaves no trace. Even if someone discovered the problem, they wouldn't know where to begin their investigation.

However, Yu Cheng did not expect that after a desperate battle with the disciples of Cangshan Martial Academy, his bottleneck at the peak of the mid-stage of Dark Force loosened, which was a clear sign that he was about to step into the late stage of Dark Force.

Yu Cheng was overjoyed and immediately put aside the matter of killing Wang Sheng, and hurriedly went into seclusion.

then,

Time passed by gradually.

Half a month has passed, and the weather is getting colder and colder, with winter, which will last for eighteen months, fast approaching.

But the war did not stop; instead, more and more people who could not survive joined the rebel army in Nanling Prefecture.

The imperial army near Ershui City was growing stronger and stronger, and successively captured two towns, which angered He Cheng Shou. He sent men to quell the rebels, but they suffered a great defeat and heavy casualties.

Suddenly, the situation in Ershui City became unclear.

Seeing that the government was weak and powerless, some demons and monsters emerged, the blood-sucking sorcerers reappeared, and the flower thieves succeeded in their crimes several times.

Even more shockingly, a few days later, another small faction that had been severely damaged in the previous pursuit of the Demonic Sect was wiped out.

The Divine Incense Cult began to disobey the orders of the city magistrate, and began to recruit people and collect protection fees.

The interests of martial arts schools and academies were encroached upon by the Divine Incense Sect, which provoked many people to fight each other, causing a great deal of trouble.

The rebel army of the Emperor sometimes dared to appear under the walls of Ershui City, forcing Ershui City to close its gates in fear.

Many problems that had been accumulating in Ershui City suddenly erupted at this moment. The chaos this time was even more severe than the last time the Demonic Sect had wreaked havoc.

The Divine Incense Sect, martial arts schools and academies, sorcerers, the Emperor's Army, and other major forces are all vying for power.
