Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

"What?! To Pingyang Town!"

At the dinner table, Liu Yun, the sister-in-law, stared in disbelief, her mouth agape.

"But...we don't know anyone there, and we'd probably have to rent a place, which would be too expensive. Why don't you go to Pingyang Town, Shisheng, and I'll stay here..."

Liu Yun hesitated for a moment, rubbed the corner of her clothes, and said apologetically.

She felt she was a bit of a burden to her brother-in-law.

"It's okay, I have money now."

Chen Shisheng said in a deep voice.

"You can't spend money recklessly. You'll have to get married in the future, so you have to be careful with your spending."

Liu Yun looked up and said earnestly.

Chen Shisheng is the only son in the Chen family now, and as an elder, she has to care about this matter.

"Um... this isn't urgent... you can come with me, don't worry about the money."

Chen Shisheng was speechless, and his attitude hardened.

Gangs run rampant in Wuhe City. With him gone, his sister-in-law is left alone at home and is bound to be bullied.

It would be better to go with him to Pingyang Town. He just made a small fortune and doesn't need the money. It would also save him the trouble of running back and forth between the two places in the future.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Having said that, Liu Yun didn't argue anymore, nodded, and felt a little touched.

During the meal, she secretly glanced at Chen Shisheng, and a thought suddenly popped into her mind: It's so nice to have a man in the house.

That evening, the two packed their luggage quickly, putting away their usual clothes and the remaining food before finally going to sleep.

They didn't plan to sell the house. In this world, nine out of ten houses are empty. What price would the house fetch if they sold it?

Chen Shisheng planned to keep it, as he would inevitably come back again in the future. Anyway, the house was fully equipped, so it could serve as a temporary place to stay.

At night, taking advantage of the little time, Chen Shisheng took out the booklet that Zhang Kuang had given him during the day.

The booklet had the words "Bull Fighting" written on it in large characters.

The name is simple, and so is the cultivation.

The main idea is to hone one's qi and blood, and improve physical fitness.

Chen Shisheng glanced at it briefly. The first step was called "blood exchange," which mainly involved consuming large amounts of exotic beast meat to raise the concentration of blood qi to the extreme.

This process sheds old blood and gives birth to new blood. Then, the new blood and energy circulate throughout the body, allowing the body to exert its full potential.

The most crucial step is to stimulate the generation of Qi and blood.

The practice of the Bull Fist will generate a completely new type of Qi and blood in the body, different from that of ordinary people.

This kind of Qi and blood can comprehensively improve physical strength, reaction, and defense, which is what distinguishes them from ordinary people.

After learning a bit about the cultivation method, Chen Shisheng stopped reading and went to sleep.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Chen Shisheng went straight to the Wen family compound.

As soon as they entered the outer courtyard, they sensed the restless mood of the crowd, who were whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

Today is the day to decide where to be transferred.

"So? Should we pick up your sister-in-law?"

Liu Feng had already arrived, and upon seeing him enter, he approached him.

"Yes, we don't have much stuff, one carriage will suffice."

Chen Shisheng nodded.

Liu Feng's family happened to be going to Pingyang Town on business, and the two of them happened to hitch a ride with his family's carriage.

"Okay. I'll go home and let them know, and we'll leave together tomorrow morning."

Liu Feng agreed.

The two then discussed their experiences in internal training.

Not long after.

Zhang Kuang walked out of the inner courtyard and announced the destinations of everyone being sent out to other places.

"Chen Shisheng, Liu Feng... Zhang Qing... go to Pingyang Town..."

"...Wang Da, Liu Tong...Supervisory Team..."

When Liu Tong learned the news, his last glimmer of hope was shattered.

He seemed to have lost his mind, and collapsed to the ground with a thud, his face deathly pale.

The rest of those assigned to the supervisory teams were mostly in the same situation.

No one dared to run away, not even daring to entertain the thought of running away.

The Wen family kept a close eye on their whereabouts. If anyone escaped, all five of them would be punished, and the rest would also be punished.

"Let's go. Let's go back and pack our things first."

Liu Feng patted Chen Shisheng on the shoulder and said.

"Um."

Chen Shisheng nodded, ignored the people in the room, and turned to leave.

On his way back, as he passed a clothing store, he discovered that the store had been surrounded by newly arrived members of the Tian Sha Gang.

It seems they are demanding protection money under various pretexts, forcing the clothing store owner to pay up to avoid trouble.

"This new Heavenly Fiend Gang is even more ruthless than the Blackwater Gang! My house was also blocked this morning, and I had to pay a sum of money to settle things."

Beside him, Liu Feng spoke of this with great indignation, his words revealing his deep fear of the Tian Sha Gang.

"Who are they? Does Brother Feng know?"

Chen Shisheng frowned and asked.

"They seem to be from the Liu family. The Blackwater Gang still gives the Wen family some face. But these guys completely ignore them. If I hadn't mentioned Zhang Kuang's name, who knows how many more would have come up with this."

Liu Feng was furious.

Chen Shisheng knew that the Liu family was also one of the top three families.

It seems that although the three major families are in the inner city, they all have influence in the outer city and are vying for territory.

He secretly considered this possibility.

"The Blackwater Gang is finished now. You know Bald Zhang, the one who used to collect taxes? He was found dead in an alley near the city gate, his skull shattered by a single punch."

Liu Feng thought to himself.

"Who did this?"

Chen Shisheng pretended to be unaware and casually asked a question.

"I don't know. I didn't care about this guy at all. The Wen family is no longer involved, and the Blackwater Gang has been completely wiped out. Who knows who it was?"

Liu Feng shook his head, indicating that he was unaware of the matter.

"Is that so?"

Chen Shisheng nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

He had previously worried that the Blackwater Gang members might not all be dead, or that the Wen family would thoroughly investigate the matter.

But now it seems he was worrying unnecessarily.

"Of course. Although the outer city is large, there are countless gangs. Many towns outside are managed by gangs, which collect taxes for the three major families. The Blackwater Gang only governs this area, which is not very big, so the Wen family can't be bothered with it."

Liu Feng explained.

Chen Shisheng understood. With the collapse of the Great Yuan Dynasty, Wuhe City had become the territory of the three imperial families.

Although they are called gangs, they are actually subordinate forces of the three major families.

It was mostly filled with thugs and ruffians, with very few martial arts practitioners.

Gangs are like weeds, they die and spring back to life, and the three major gangs don't worry about these issues at all.

At worst, when a new gang comes out, they can just send someone up to tell them to collect taxes.

The two walked and talked for a while, and then they passed an arched stone bridge.

Chen Shisheng glanced down and saw many floating corpses in the river, some of which had turned white from being submerged and resembled giants, but no one paid any attention.

Chen Shisheng even saw women washing clothes and drawing water on the riverbank, completely ignoring the corpses in the river.

"Is the water in this river still drinkable?"

He couldn't help but think that some large-scale plagues in his previous life were caused by drinking water.

However, he then thought that since the three main families didn't care, he cared even less.

Anyway, at worst, I can just run away with my sister-in-law.

There is always a place for two people to stay in this world.

At the fork in the road, Chen Shisheng bid farewell to Liu Feng and returned home.

Upon entering the house, Chen Shisheng's sister-in-law, Liu Yun, was folding clothes. Seeing him come in, she quickly put her undergarments underneath, covered them with her outer garment, smoothed her hair, and tucked it behind her ears. Her face was slightly flushed.

"You're back? Have you eaten?"

"Hmm. Not yet, sister-in-law. We'll set off for Pingyang Town tomorrow morning."

Chen Shisheng looked at Liu Yun and said something.

"it is good."

"By the way, has the Heavenly Fiend Gang been here?"

Just as he was about to return to his room, Chen Shisheng suddenly stopped and asked.

"They came. I...I didn't say anything, and they thought no one was there, so they left."

Liu Yun hesitated.

In fact, the Tian Sha Gang had already come, but she saw that Chen Shisheng seemed to be very busy recently and was afraid of delaying her brother-in-law's affairs.

Since they were almost at Pingyang Town anyway, she didn't mention these things.

"Is that so? Sister-in-law, if anything happens in the future, please tell me immediately. Okay?"

Chen Shisheng said solemnly.

"Um."

Liu Yun sensed the worry in Chen Shisheng's words and nodded emphatically.

Then, the two cooked a meal, tidied up the house, and prepared to set off for Pingyang Town the next morning.
