Starting with fishing, I've traversed a chaotic world of demons and martial arts.

Li Tianxing composed himself and went from Qinghe Wharf to the fish market.

I happened to run into Zhang Wei, whom I hadn't seen in a long time.

Zhang Wei looked somewhat dejected, and his condition was not as good as before.

Zhang Wei handed the fish in his hand to the fishmonger's worker.

He turned to look at Li Tianxing, a hint of envy in his voice:

"Tianxing, I heard you... have learned martial arts?"

Zhang Wei often went fishing, so he had naturally heard about Li Tianxing's achievements.

Upon seeing Li Tianxing arrive, several workers at the fish market greeted him.

"Brother Xing, please have a seat!"

"Hey Xing, let me know if you need anything."

"Have some tea, have some tea. Brother Xing!"

Li Tianxing nodded to these people.

He came over to Zhang Wei and patted him on the shoulder:

"Hmm, a bit of luck."

You look a bit unwell.

If there's anything you can't resolve, you can talk to me about it.

Seeing how much respect these people showed to Li Tianxing, Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile wryly.

"That's great! I wish I could learn martial arts too."

"The Wind Eagle Martial Arts School is gone, can't we just find another martial arts school?"

Zhang Wei seemed to have something he couldn't say:

"Oh no, I can't continue my studies, we're out of money."

Li Tianxing saw the other person's expression.

It seemed like something had happened at Zhang Wei's house:

"Come on, let's go to my house for a meal, and we can have a good talk then."

Li Tianxing bought a fish and a roast chicken from the street.

I also bought Xiaoyuan her favorite candied hawthorn.

Then he headed home...

……

When Li Tianxing returned home, he handed the vegetables and candied hawthorns he was carrying to Xiao Yuan.

She happily ate her candied hawthorns while cooking.

Li Tianxing sat down, poured the other person a glass of water, and asked:

"Sit down, Zhang Wei. Didn't your family save twenty silver dollars for you to learn martial arts?"

Did your family spend this money? Or has something happened at home?

Seeing how much his friend cared about him, Zhang Wei opened up and said:

"Tianxing... is my father. He joined the Pudu Church."

Not only that, he also converted my mother and my sister to the religion.

It is said that after joining the Pudu sect and receiving the baptism of talisman water, one can overcome disasters!

They now live in a Purdue stronghold.

They rarely even come back anymore!

Li Tianxing then recalled what Xiao Yuan had told him about the Pudu Church's procession.

"Could it be... that all the silver dollars in your house were taken by the Pursuit Church?"

Zhang Wei wiped his nose helplessly:

"Yeah, my dad seems to have gone mad. No matter how I try to persuade him, it won't work!"

He said if he gave the money to the Purdue Church, the leader would give him an elder position.

Then he will lead our family through the calamities of this chaotic world!

Tell me... isn't this ridiculous!

If I gave the Purdue Church twenty dollars, they could keep my family safe.

Then the leader of the Pudu Sect must be a deity manifesting himself!

If he were truly a deity, would he care about twenty silver dollars?

Sigh... Tell me, how are we going to get through this?

Li Tianxing comforted him, "Don't think about it too much, let's eat first!"

I'll have the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Liu, investigate.

Let's see if we can bring this cult leader to justice.

However, now that you've taken those twenty silver dollars, it'll be very difficult to find them again...

Zhang Wei excitedly grasped Li Tianxing's hand:

"Tianxing, thank you so much!"

"It doesn't matter if the money is gone, as long as my family comes back safe and sound!"

……

After finishing his meal, Zhang Wei went home.

Xiao Yuan massaged Li Tianxing's shoulders:

"Young Master, Zhang Wei is quite pitiful too. I remember his sister is only thirteen years old."

"I'll go ask Liu Hui this afternoon."

The last time the Purdue Church held such a large-scale march, it angered Commissioner of Police Fung Lam so much.

Then this matter certainly won't end so simply!

After Li Tianxing finished speaking, he patted Xiao Yuan's hand:

"Alright, it's getting late, you should go and get some rest."

Xiao Yuan felt the warmth from her hand, and a slight blush appeared on her face.

My young master seems to be becoming more and more confident and composed...

……

Li Tianxing lay on the bed, staring at the dilapidated ceiling.

"I've saved up nearly thirty silver dollars, which has solved my most basic needs for food and clothing."

The next step is to leave this rolling dragon.

We moved to the East Market and got a bigger house.

Li Tianxing rolled over:

"However, the money comes in rather slowly..."

That damn Wu Xu, when he came to cause me trouble, he didn't even have his money bag on him.

This caused me to lose money!

However, after my battle with him, my proficiency in all my techniques has improved considerably!

With a thought, Li Tianxing brought up his various control panels...

[Technique: Fishing (Beginner)]

Progress: (216/300)

[Technique: Wave Chasing Skill (Beginner)]

Progress: (205/300)

[Technique: Reading (Beginner)]

Progress: (197/300)

【Technique: Chopping Palm (Beginner)】

Progress: (182/300)

[Technique: Zhenyue Nourishing Blood Exercise (Beginner)]

Progress: (136/300)

"Right now, my most proficient skill is fishing, followed by the skill of riding the waves!"

If I grind hard for a few more days and catch a few more treasure fish, I should be able to improve.

I'm really looking forward to the next level after getting to the beginner level...

I haven't had time to read lately, so I need to make time to read more.

However, thinking of the terrifying being within the Qinghe River, Li Tianxing still felt a chill of fear...

"Forget it, just to be on the safe side, let's wait a few days before going into the river."

[Demon Soul: Flowing Light.]

"There's no progress being displayed for this demon soul..."

I wonder if the Demon Soul will be able to upgrade in the future?

With my current strength, as long as I activate my demon soul...

He could easily defeat a martial artist like Wu Xu who was at the tendon-refining level.

I wonder what kind of power the "combined force" at the end of the first realm will be...

Li Tianxing pondered for a while in bed, then felt a bit tired.

And so he fell into a deep sleep...

……

Black Dragon Gang.

Gang leader Zhang Xiaohao was sitting on a high chair, drinking tea.

Standing beside him was his son.

He is also the young leader of the Black Dragon Gang, Zhang Zhengqi.

"Zhengqi, have you found Wu Xu yet?"

Zhang Zhengqi's face resembled his father's by about 70-80%, both having rather thin cheeks.

He gives off an impression of being both capable and efficient.

Zhang Zhengqi shook his head:

"Father, no one has seen him since he went out this morning."

The gang only knew that he went to Qinghe Wharf.

Zhang Xiaohao coughed twice; he had been injured by the cat demon, and his injuries had not yet healed.

What was he doing at Qinghe Wharf?

Wu Xu was extremely loyal to the gang.

It's just that he's too domineering and arrogant...

It's so frustrating to constantly have your big head controlled by your small head!

Zhang Zhengqi answered honestly:

"My father may be related to a fisherman named Li Tianxing."

Wu Xu's younger brother was harmed by the cat demon a few days ago, wasn't he?

But he firmly believes that Li Tianxing is also involved in this matter.

So...so I went to Qinghe Wharf.

"Li Tianxing..."

Zhang Xiaohao recalled the name.

He had some impression of this young man named Li Tianxing when he was capturing the cat demon.

In particular, everyone was terrified by the cat demon's last bit of power.

But Li Tianxing didn't seem flustered; instead, he calmed people down.

Moreover, Liu Hui seems to value him highly!

"Father, should we send someone to bring Li Tianxing over?"

Should we question them thoroughly?

Zhang Zhengqi asked tentatively.
