Martial Saint: Starting with Accumulating Experience

Chapter 142 Preparation

"The gang leader said that the Jishi Society is involved in too many things and has connections with a certain emerging force. The government has already started to take action."

"Wen Nian said."

Chen Feng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

After finishing his important business, Wen Nian resumed his normal speaking volume and continued, "By the way, boss, can I work with you this year?"

"Follow me?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

Wen Nian scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "I'm from Pingcheng. The gang leader told me that you're also from Pingcheng. He said if I want to go home this year, I should ask you for help."

Chen Feng immediately understood.

Pingcheng is the territory of the Canglang Gang. Given the conflicts between the two gangs, if Canglang Gang disciples went there, they would inevitably be targeted and captured.

At best, they will be driven away; at worst, they will be surrounded and killed, and their family and friends may even be implicated.

Of course, Chen Feng wouldn't have this concern. In a small place like Pingcheng, only someone who's willing to risk their life would try to ambush and kill a Grand Martial Master at the Enlightenment Realm.

Wen Nian smiled wryly and said, "I haven't been back for several years. Every year I can only go to my brothers' houses for a free meal or stay at the gang's headquarters to eat by myself."

A pang of pity rose in Chen Feng's heart.

This guy is so pitiful. Not only can he not go back home, but he also has to be responsible for distributing everyone's monthly salary, while watching others happily take their money home for the New Year.

After finishing his arduous work, he could only associate with the local gang members of Feiyu Ferry, and the other gang members couldn't stay with Wen Nian at the main hall all the time.

"Okay, then you'll come with me this year. I'll be going back to Pingcheng too." Chen Feng nodded.

I've been away for several months now and haven't written a letter to my master yet. I'm so engrossed in cultivation that I keep forgetting about it.

I'll take this opportunity to go back and visit my master.

"That's great! Thank you, boss! You're brilliant!" Wen Nian exclaimed in delight.

A member of the gang walked in through the door, bowed to Chen Feng, and then warmly greeted Wen Nian, saying, "Come to my house this year! What would you like to eat? I'll have your sister-in-law cook it for you."

Wen Nian's smile was like a new bud breaking through the soil, impossible to suppress. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang, but I'll pass this year. I'm planning to go back and try my mother's cooking."

"Isn't your home in Pingcheng? Are you planning to sneak back? We just wiped out the Cao Gang's stronghold in Feiyu Ferry, so we should be careful during this time."

The gang member surnamed Wang kindly reminded him.

"I'll go back with the boss, everything will be fine," Wen Nian chuckled.

"So the boss is also from Pingcheng. Congratulations! I can finally go back."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Wen Nian turned back and unloaded the supplies from the carriage, distributing them to everyone.

Chen Feng obtained several Qi-opening pills.

The total value of the pills he received this time was much higher than the ones he received last month, so it seems the guild has increased his benefits.

However, these pills are not enough for him to unlock another level of enlightenment. If he were to use them all for cultivation at once, they might be used up in one night.

After distributing the goods, Wen Nian had to rush to other branches, as he was responsible for more than just the main branch.

I had to make a trip to the area around Feiyu Ferry, and finally return to Yongning Bay to complete the task.

However, after receiving Chen Feng's promise, Wen Nian was clearly full of energy. He excitedly climbed onto the carriage and headed to the next location.

Finish your work early so you can go home and see your parents.

"Wait a minute." Chen Feng called out to Wen Nian, who was about to leave, and handed him a piece of paper, a letter, and several large silver notes worth hundreds of taels.

"Boss, what's this...?" Wen Nian's gaze swept over the thing Chen Feng handed over.

"Could you please buy me some items on your way back, and then exchange them for some things with your contribution points when you return to the main hall?" Chen Feng said.

Now that he was preparing to go back, Chen Feng naturally couldn't go back empty-handed; he had to bring back some good things for his master and senior brothers.

What he has in abundance right now is money.

After receiving my monthly salary, I've also made some contributions. Now that my Iron Armor skill is complete, I don't have anything I want to exchange, so I might as well spend it all on gifts.

Wen Nian quickly glanced at the items listed on the note and immediately understood Chen Feng's intentions.

"Yes, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Wen Nian patted his chest and readily agreed.

Then he shouted "Giddy up!"

Snapped!

The whip cracked on the horse's back, and Wen Nian drove the carriage briskly away from the main hall.

In the following days.

Every morning before dawn, Chen Feng would get up early and practice his boxing skills in the courtyard.

After finishing the practice, go to the riverbank and gradually improve your proficiency with the Canglang Technique.

At noon, he would be in the study of the main hall, handling gang affairs. At the end of the year, the gang members' stationing and leave arrangements all needed to be reviewed by him.

In the evenings, I meditate and practice in a quiet room.

Days passed by one after another.

The streets and alleys of Feiyudu are gradually filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year. Vendors hang up red lanterns and red paper, and every household prepares New Year's goods, waiting for the end of the year.

The wind was strong in the twelfth lunar month.

But it cannot dispel people's hopes for the coming year.

Flying Fish Crossing Main Hall.

Chen Feng brought up the panel, and the number after [Canglang Jue] had already exceeded three hundred.

"Still no movement." Chen Feng sighed softly, then shut down the system and turned his gaze to the desk in the study.

By this time, he had finished processing all the documents that had been piled up on his desk.

What's on the table now are all the items that Chen Feng asked Wen Nian to buy.

On one side of the table were thick, durable iron gauntlets, and next to them lay a long sword with a bright and sharp blade. At the very edge stood a black iron rod, heavy in texture.

The boxing gloves are for Senior Brother Zhao, the sword is for Senior Brother Lu, and the iron rod is for Senior Brother Yao.

These weapons all come from the Weapon Hall of the Canglang Gang, and are all fine treasures forged by Xu Hu, the hall master.

All of them are top-quality products.

His contributions were originally insufficient to cover the debt, but Xu Hu made an exception for him, allowing him to pay on credit.

Chen Feng's contribution is now negative.

As for the gifts for Senior Sister Su, Chen Feng chose pearls and hawksbill turtle shells, specialties of Yongning Bay.

This was Chen Feng's first time experiencing luxury goods in this world, and all he could say was that they were incredibly extravagant.

These few ounces of items can fetch astronomical prices.

As for the gift for the master—

Chen Feng still remembers that his master had a particular fondness for food and drink, and had even hired a chef for his residence.

He then asked someone to scoop up several flying silver fish from the river, specifically choosing the rarest kind.

The treasure fish is rare and extremely expensive because, strictly speaking, it has transcended the category of fish and can be considered aquatic spirits.

Some of the more ferocious wrasses can prey on birds, and some can even endanger fishermen catching fish in the river.

Behind the high price lies the amazing nutritional value of the treasure fish.

It can help martial artists increase their qi and blood and strengthen their bodies, directly saving them from many days of arduous training.

Of course, it probably won't have much effect on those in the Enlightenment Realm; the main thing is that it tastes delicious and is exceptionally fresh.

Chen Feng naturally trained his master in the most powerful class.

Not only are they fierce, but they're also hard to kill.

If you fill an ordinary wooden bucket with water, it will be lively and energetic for more than half a month. It has a strong vitality and can be easily transported back to Pingcheng.

"Boss, everything is ready, we can leave anytime." Wen Nian's slightly excited voice came from outside the door, sounding like he couldn't wait.

Chen Feng waved his hand.

His inner energy surged forth, sweeping up all the weapons on the table and placing them one by one into their corresponding wooden boxes.
