Becoming a saint begins with the infinite accumulation of destiny.

"Play it externally?"

Chen Shisheng was puzzled, as he had not heard anyone mention this matter.

"How can you not even take this seriously? This is related to our future development."

Liu Feng was somewhat helpless; this guy didn't even know these things, so he immediately explained them to him.

"We are all retainers recruited by the second young master of the Wen family, so naturally we can't be supported unconditionally forever. We will all have to go out and do things later. Generally speaking, there are three main ways out."

He smiled, looked at Chen Shisheng, and then paused, deliberately remaining silent to keep the other person in suspense.

Chen Shisheng already knew his temperament, so he wasn't angry. He turned around and continued practicing his stance, seeing who could outlast whom.

Seeing that Chen Shisheng hadn't asked any questions after waiting for so long, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Liu Feng shrugged and said helplessly, "Fine, you win."

"Those three roads?"

Chen Shisheng also found it a bit funny and asked.

"The methods are all based on stance training. According to my sources, this time it might be more stringent."

Liu Feng's expression turned solemn, and he no longer joked as before, but took it seriously.

His family owned a blacksmith shop nearby, and there were always many customers coming and going, so the information they received was quite accurate.

"There are three main routes: the inner city guard, Pingyang Town, and the supervisory team."

Liu Feng wiped his sweat with a towel and said solemnly.

"What's the difference between these three destinations?"

Chen Shisheng didn't quite understand the intricacies of this matter. He usually trained quietly by himself and didn't have much contact with people, so he simply asked directly.

"The best place is the inner city, of course. It's not only safe there, but also free from all sorts of demons and monsters. Most importantly, as a guard, I can bring two family members in with me."

"Next is Pingyang Town, which is a major grain-producing town in Wuhe. There are large areas of farmland outside the town, and a lot of manpower is needed. It's hard work and there's not much money to be made, but it's stable."

"As for the supervisory team..."

Liu Feng hesitated, as if he were constipated, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"What's the situation with the supervisory team?"

Chen Shisheng asked curiously.

"Shisheng, do you know why Wuhe City recruits soldiers every year, yet can never fill its quota?"

Liu Feng asked again.

"war."

"That's right. The world originally belonged to the Great Abyss, but the Great Abyss royal family collapsed in one day, the world fell apart, and powerful families stood side by side, each ruling their own territory. Our Five Rivers City has chosen to side with Prince Fu and fight for him."

Liu Feng spoke slowly, his expression grave.

"But how can there be no war without deaths? When you get to the front lines, even if you are a well-trained soldier, it is easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark, and it is very easy for something to happen. Moreover, the supervisory team is easily resented, and it is common for soldiers to assassinate the supervisory team."

"More importantly, the supervisory team is not only a supervisory force, but also a reserve force, ready to go to the battlefield at any time."

"I see."

Chen Shisheng nodded, immediately understanding the current situation.

At the same time, he also thought of his older brother and father, whom he had not heard from for a long time.

The two went to the front lines several months ago and have been out of contact ever since. A while ago, news came back that a replacement soldier had been sent to fill the vacancy, which suggests that the situation is likely dire.

"I wonder whether my elder brother or my father survived?"

Chen Shisheng's heart sank; he didn't want to speculate.

His elder brother and sister-in-law treated him well, and his father favored him even more; otherwise, he wouldn't have let his newlywed brother go with him to the front lines.

After spending several months together, he had developed some affection for his family and now had someone to care about.

Thinking of this, Chen Shisheng couldn't help but ask:

"Senior brother, where is the front line?"

"You want to join the supervisory team?"

Liu Feng was surprised, his eyes wide open.

"No, it's at my house..."

Chen Shisheng gave a simple explanation.

"I see. But it's hard to say. Our Wuhe City is within the territory of Kangzhou, which is the fiefdom of the Prince of Fu. The army will most likely be stationed at the border with Bazhou. That area is under the control of the Prince of Zhou. But it's hard to say, after all, there are other princes in the surrounding area, so the situation is quite chaotic."

After thinking for a while, Liu Feng gave a somewhat uncertain answer.

"All right."

Chen Shisheng was somewhat disappointed and had to put the idea aside for the time being.

Liu Feng's family was just a blacksmith shop, and most of the people who knew about it were merchants passing through. Naturally, they couldn't possibly know about such secret matters as troop movements.

"Therefore, we still need to rely on the Wen family to find a good way out."

Liu Feng steered the conversation back to reality.

The two chatted for a while longer before going their separate ways to practice standing meditation on their own.

While practicing standing meditation to cultivate his qi and blood and strengthen his body, Chen Shisheng also pondered his future path.

As one of the three powerful families in the inner city, the Wen family had long controlled both inside and outside Wuhe City, and had become veritable local tyrants.

More importantly, the three families in the inner city control various rare resources, fertile fields, medicinal gardens, and most importantly, martial arts techniques.

It can be said that if one wants to make a name for oneself in Five Rivers City and settle down at home, one cannot avoid the three imperial families.

"First, learn the martial arts. If things go wrong, then take your sister-in-law away. If you have the chance later, find your elder brother and father."

Chen Shisheng has always been a decisive person, and at this moment he quickly set a goal in his mind.

After practicing for about half an afternoon, Chen Shisheng's stomach was already empty. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he turned around and went to the hut.

Inside the small room, Master Bao was leisurely smoking a pipe, his eyes fixed on the female disciple on the field, his gaze constantly sweeping over her sensitive areas.

"You little brat... coming here to freeload again!"

Master Bao tapped his cigarette ash on the windowsill, caught sight of Chen Shisheng, and feigned anger.

Chen Shisheng walked into the small house and immediately saw a bowl of meat prepared on the stove. It was made of large bones with some rotten meat on them, and it was still steaming.

Clearly, this was something Master Bao had prepared in advance.

"By the way, you haven't shown me your recent accounts yet?"

Master Bao shifted his gaze from his female disciple to Chen Shisheng's face.

"These are from the last few days; the previous ones haven't been modified yet. Please take note."

Chen Shisheng took out a blue-covered booklet from the inner room and placed it on the table.

It's impossible that Master Bao gave him extra food out of kindness.

As the saying goes, a cook who doesn't steal won't be a good grain seller. This guy looks honest, but he often buys overpriced goods, and only he knows how much profit he makes.

The reason the Wen family initially hired an accountant was because they had some concerns, but it was clearly an overreaction.

Chen Shisheng and Master Bao hit it off immediately and started making false accounts.

Master Bao prepared extra meat dishes every day, and Chen Shisheng cooperated with him to revise the accounts. The two worked together very happily.

Especially since there are no invoices in this world, Chen Shisheng alone has the final say on all the accounts.

"I'm leaving now. Remember to put the ledgers back in their original place. Manager Liu may be checking the accounts soon."

Chen Shisheng gave a word of advice.

He then put away the large bowl of bones, left the house, and hurried home.

This also serves as a source of meat for him; otherwise, his body would not be able to keep up with his daily diet, and his progress in the Hunyuan Stance would only be slower.

Chen Shisheng has become much stronger recently. When he walks on the street, some pedestrians lower their heads and keep their distance.

This was somewhat of a pity for him, as he was observing the signs of fate.

In recent days, he has been going back and forth between various funeral activities, but has not found any astrological signs that he can absorb.

Chen Shisheng probably had a guess about this situation.

"A person's destiny should be a symbol of their skills or talents."

This is also the conclusion Chen Shisheng reached based on his own deductions from various aspects.

After all, he had absorbed the qualities of "skillful hands" and witnessed the qualities of "vigorous spirit" and "diligence," making it easy for him to deduce commonalities.

While it may be known, the rarity of such a destiny is truly astounding.

Having been here for so long, Chen Shisheng has only met a handful of people.
