Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

"Open the door!!"

A furious roar came from outside the door.

It wasn't a water monkey; it was a human voice.

The group of martial artists immediately breathed a sigh of relief, their tense expressions easing somewhat.

But no one dared to move.

No one can be sure whether that thing can speak human language or is deliberately speaking human language to lure people out.

It wasn't until Chen Shisheng glanced at it that he turned and gestured for someone to go open the door.

The man gripped the knife hilt, swallowed hard, and mustered his courage to walk slowly to the door.

The noise at the gate had completely subsided, with only the sound of everyone breathing and their hearts pounding in their throats.

As soon as the man reached the door, he cautiously peeked through the crack, his expression immediately turned strange, and he turned around and shouted:

"Not a water monkey, but a person! A person!!"

As he spoke, he unlatched the door and quickly dodged to the side.

The figures of people standing outside were revealed.

A quick glance revealed that it was someone they knew – Zhu You!

The young man had a dark expression on his face, his gaze sweeping coldly over the people inside the door.

He was furious, mainly because he had been assigned to Pingyang Town, a place far from the inner city.

These people are still blocking the door and not letting him in, showing that they don't welcome him.

This made him, who already looked down on this place, feel an even stronger instinctive disgust for the people in front of him.

"Congratulations, Brother!"

Zhang Qing rushed over, somewhat surprised and delighted.

He truly never expected that a genius as gifted as Zhu You would come to Pingyang Town.

"Zhang Qing, what are you all doing? Blocking me?"

Zhu You's tone was very impolite, showing no mercy to Zhang Qing, even though Zhang Qing had been a member of his mutual aid group.

"No, no. Brother Zhu, you've misunderstood. It's a water monkey from the river..."

Zhang Qing hurriedly recounted what had happened.

Zhu You's complexion improved slightly, but his attitude remained cold.

His gaze swept down over the crowd.

"After that, I became the head of Pingyang Town."

Then, he glanced around and looked at the people beside him.

"Go and bring my luggage in."

The crowd looked at each other, at a loss, and turned their gazes to Chen Shisheng, who was standing to the side, with questioning eyes.

Clearly, they haven't gotten used to the change in their status yet.

They still regarded Chen Shisheng as the leader here, rather than Zhu You in front of them.

"What? Does my word not carry weight?"

Zhu You's eyes narrowed, his expression suddenly changed, and his blood and qi erupted violently.

The martial artists nearby immediately felt the pressure and hurriedly gritted their teeth and clasped their fists in greeting:

"No, no!"

"You unruly wretch! I am the head of the gang, you should all call yourselves subordinates."

Zhu You glanced at the two men and said coldly.

"Yes."

The two quickly nodded in agreement.

"Go and bring my things in, everyone else disperse."

Zhu You turned around and looked at Zhang Qing, who was already standing there in a daze.

"Aqing, come with me."

"well."

Zhang Qing quickly followed, and the two went up to the second floor together, to Zhang Kuang's previous room.

"How did this kid end up here?"

Watching Zhu You's figure disappear upstairs, Liu Feng came back to his senses and muttered to himself.

"It seems things aren't going to be easy from now on. My friend mentioned that Zhu You gained the favor of the Second Young Master Wen and received a large amount of exotic beast meat to nourish himself, so his strength has already reached the peak of the Blood Exchange. He can even hold his own against a Bone Forging expert."

Xu Song sighed, a hint of sorrow appearing on his fair face.

He had finally managed to climb up to Chen Shisheng, a powerful figure, and thought that he would have Chen Shisheng's protection in the future.

It might not be easy, but at least it'll make you a bit more familiar with the place.

Now look what's happened, Zhu You has been parachuted in as the team leader, and all the previous investments have been wasted.

Thinking it over, he glanced at the room on the second floor, pondering whether he should return to Zhu You's side.

After all, this guy will be their class leader in the future. If they can befriend him, he might have a bright future.

"Zhang Qing has managed to get on his good side; that kid has always been Zhu You's lackey."

Xu Song couldn't help but sigh.

Chen Shisheng took a deep look at the tightly closed door upstairs and escorted his sister-in-law home.

Now that the Wen family had sent people, he couldn't be bothered with these trivial matters anymore.

Previously, it was because the water monkeys caused trouble and the higher-ups were pressing for grain that time was wasted organizing manpower to collect and transport the grain.

After Zhu You took office, he was no longer involved in his affairs.

Anyway, he believed that with his achievements in eliminating Hongying and exposing Liu Shouyuan's betrayal, he would be able to achieve great things.

The Wen family must reward him. Even if he isn't transferred to the inner city, returning to Wuhe City shouldn't be a problem.

As for the destiny of the water monkey, he can only wait until he is strong enough before trying to obtain it.

His current focus is on accumulating qi and blood, completing the final steps of the blood exchange, and completely achieving a state where his entire body is filled with the qi and blood of the Bull Fist.

Soon, Chen Shisheng returned to the house and took out several pieces of exotic beast meat he had obtained from under the bed.

He also had someone replace all the gold and silver jewelry that Liu Shouyuan had previously acquired with the meat of exotic beasts.

"I wonder how effective this dried meat is?"

Chen Shisheng forcefully tore off a small piece and fed it into his mouth.

He had already finished the dried meat he got from Liu Shouyuan.

The dish he ate this time was specially bought from Wuhe City and was called Black Horn Chicken.

Meat costs fifty taels of silver per tael, and he only has enough money to buy five taels.

Moreover, this meat tastes a bit gamey, and I don't know what kind of chicken it is.

However, Chen Shisheng didn't care. As long as it could improve his strength, he didn't mind if it tasted bad.

Soon, after eating all the chicken, Chen Shisheng felt an extremely strong feeling of bloating.

"No wonder it's expensive meat!"

He felt the changes in his body, his blood and qi were full, as if he had been injected with some kind of energy.

The body quickly becomes active, the flow of qi and blood accelerates, and more qi and blood from the Bull Fist begin to appear.

Chen Shisheng immediately assumed a fighting stance, clenching his fists tightly and striking the air in front of him from both sides, producing a series of muffled thuds.

This is a basic move in the Bull Fist style, which emphasizes the unity of waist and hips, power originating from the ground, and the body moving with the fist. The person arrives before the fist.

Chen Shisheng had already mastered the entire process, and when he fought, he was powerful and imposing.

As he moved, the flesh of the strange beast within his body was continuously consumed.

Then a large amount of blood and qi began to emerge from the body, filling all parts of the body.

This is called blood transfusion, replacing the body's blood with martial arts qi and blood.

Soon, Chen Shisheng practiced the basic moves several times in a row, his whole body was drenched in sweat, his skin was red, and he was emitting a lot of heat.

But his eyes were very bright as he stared at the panel in front of him, talking to himself.

"It seems this destiny has brought me some other effects as well!"

Chen Shisheng closed his eyes and carefully sensed the Qilin destiny.

Soon, he discovered something unusual inside his body that he had never noticed before.

His vital energy was tinged with a golden hue, a detail he had never noticed before.

One reason is that his previous blood transfusion technique was not advanced enough, making it difficult to observe his qi and blood.

But now, his blood transfusion is almost in its final stages.

"Could it be...?!"

Chen Shisheng suddenly thought of a possibility.

He had previously suspected that the difference between destiny and fate was not only in their effects.

It's more about changes on a deeper level of life.

He had a vague expectation in his heart about what effect this change would have on his blood and qi.

"Therefore, my Qi and blood are not only the Qi and blood of the Bull Fist, but also contain a trace of special Qi and blood attached to my destiny."

Chen Shisheng had a guess in his mind.

Is this the difference between destiny chart and destiny image? What is the special function of destiny chart?

However, he has no way to conduct experiments now, so it's difficult for him to say what the difference is between the two.

But all in all, it's a good thing.

Since that's the case, Chen Shisheng stopped worrying about it and decided to wait until his strength improved before carefully studying it.

His focus now should be on breaking through the bone forging barrier.

The accumulation of Qi and blood is almost complete; all that remains is a little bit of painstaking work.

The body's most minute parts need to be filled with the Qi and blood of the Wild Bull Fist, and the entire blood exchange will be completed.

Second floor, inside the room.

"Brother Zhu, it's so great that you could come!"

Zhang Qing seemed very excited. She busied herself pouring water for Zhu You and helping him settle his luggage.

"Aqing, tell me about the situation here."

Seeing that Zhang Qing was so sensible, Zhu You's expression softened, and he asked.

He felt a lump in his throat from what he had just witnessed. How could his subordinates have to be so careful about what others thought when he, the new foreman, was saying?

This feeling of being sidelined made him inexplicably unhappy.
