A player on Mount Hua starts by obtaining the Prism color entry.

Watching her junior brother being rudely "invited" out, Yue Lingshan giggled, her majestic figure trembling, a dazzling array of flowers almost overwhelming her eyes.

"These little haters, all I did was sing 'You're So Beautiful, Chicken,' those two are just tone-deaf, they'll get their comeuppance sooner or later!"

Lu Ming looked indignant. After all, the music was taught in the study. Didn't you see that girl Qu Feiyan's eyes were shining?

Two pieces of rotten wood cannot be carved!

Just as they were about to enter the city, Lu Ming sensed something and asked Yue Lingshan to go to the Liu residence first.

Originally, Yue Lingshan was planning to stay at the Yuelai Inn, but she was thinking of bringing Liu Zhengfeng's daughter over to be her junior brother's girlfriend to help share the burden, so she changed her mind.

Yue Lingshan had no suspicions. She wouldn't doubt her junior brother because she was his wife: "Junior brother, you're not busy. I'll go talk to Sister Liu Jing for a bit. You'll definitely like it."

A moment later, Lu Ming walked to the depths of the bamboo forest and stood with his hands behind his back: "Come out."

Approaching thirty, she was at the prime of her life, full-figured and mature. Her figure was voluptuous and rounded, her posture full yet dignified. She wore a dark, patterned, cross-collar outfit, a silver belt cinched at the waist, the hem of her skirt slightly tucked in, accentuating her graceful curves. She stepped forward, kneeling on one knee, her arched eyebrows conveying a quiet authority, yet her expression was respectful, humble, and tinged with a hint of flattery: "Third Sister Sang greets her benefactor."

Sang San Niang, whom I released when I wiped out the demonic sect's branch in Hua'an Prefecture, not only cured her of the Three Corpse Brain God Pill, but also gave her a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill to enhance her cultivation. After giving me information about the remnants of the Sword Sect's evil deeds, she disappeared without a trace.

Lu Ming grabbed her chin and lifted her head, looking down at her face: "You've been gone for so long, why are you showing up again? I let you go last time, are you here to offer yourself up this time?"

Sang San Niang blushed slightly, but instead put on a flattering smile: "I went to take care of other matters. Thanks to my benefactor's elixir, I am no longer under the control of Dongfang Bubai and have even broken through my cultivation level. It is my honor that my benefactor has taken me."

"After leaving the pass, I learned that my benefactor has become famous throughout the martial arts world. I am eager to leave the Divine Cult and join my benefactor. I have come here to deliver a message to my benefactor. The Songshan Sect has sent people to target Liu Zhengfeng's Golden Basin Washing Up Ceremony, intending to use his collusion with Qu Yang to establish their authority. If that fails, they will kill his entire family."

"I have come here to find Qu Yang and bring him back to see Dongfang Bubai. I recently learned that Liu Zhengfeng has colluded with the Eastern Depot and bought a government position. It seems that the Eastern Depot and the Dragon Guard Manor are involved in this retirement ceremony. The court has also sent envoys to Blackwood Cliff to conspire with Dongfang Bubai. I am unable to find out any specific information."

"Now Dongfang Bubai has ordered a contraction, handing over his businesses to ordinary people to manage, and gathering all the disciples of the Divine Cult under his control. He has also begun his seclusion. He has entrusted matters to his confidant Yang Lianting, who is greedy, arrogant, and dotes on men, leaving Blackwood Cliff in a state of chaos."

Lu Ming gently stroked his delicate cheek. Martial artists do indeed maintain their appearance much better than ordinary people. Some techniques can preserve youth, making it impossible to tell their age from their appearance. If one's skill is profound, even after hundreds of years, they can still look like a woman in her twenties or thirties, and will still have children if they are meant to.

Without finding a way to achieve immortality, one will at most turn to dust within a hundred years. It is said that breaking through to the Grandmaster level can prolong life, making it possible to live to be two or three hundred years old. If you have the chance, you can ask Master Zhang at Wudang Mountain.

Why didn't Yang Lianting find a woman?

"It seems that Dongfang Bubai will not allow it."

Alright, case solved. Looks like Yang Lianting was enjoying himself.

Looking at Sang San Niang again, her loyalty level was as high as 90, which was somewhat unexpected.

As his hands became increasingly invasive, Lu Ming asked curiously, "Why did you choose to pledge allegiance to me?"

Sang San Niang moved slightly, not to resist, but to flatter her even more: "Before you even reached adulthood, you were able to fight to a draw with Ouyang Feng, one of the Five Greats. Your medical skills are so amazing that you can cure decades-old eye diseases and restore the sight of the seven children of the Hua family. You can also refine pills without side effects."

"Most Shaolin masters rely on the Great Rejuvenating Pill to achieve their current level, making it impossible for them to break through to the legendary Grandmaster level. It may seem possible, but in reality, it is an insurmountable chasm."

"My benefactor is the most handsome man in the world. To be able to serve and follow him is a blessing I have accumulated over three lifetimes. With such a noble person before me, if I do not seize the opportunity, I will have served as an elder of the Sun Moon Divine Sect in vain."

Praise strengths, highlight advantages and future potential, subtly reveal Shaolin secrets to showcase one's abilities, and finally state directly why one is loyal.

"Very well, it seems you're a smart woman. I'll give you a chance. If you can satisfy me, I won't be stingy with elixirs and martial arts techniques. You'll find that this is the best thing you've ever done!"

"Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, unless the male lead is a eunuch!"

A confidante is indispensable, and a capable female subordinate is equally essential. Sang San Niang was once an elder of the Sun Moon Sect, and she possessed outstanding abilities; otherwise, she would not have been able to maintain her position as an elder under the leadership of both Ren Woxing and Dongfang Bubai.

After the lovemaking, he gave her two Lesser Rejuvenation Pills, a list of medicinal herbs that were not currently available, and told her to find a way to get enough silver, in cash only.

Sang San Niang's loyalty has also reached 100, and since there is no room for it to drop, we can use her with peace of mind.

"Now close your eyes. I will teach you the 'Purple Clouds Pitying Flowers Technique'. Once you have all the necessary medicinal herbs, I will bestow upon you the True Great Rejuvenation Pill, which has no side effects."

Lu Ming treats his subordinates so well that even cattle and horses would be moved to tears. They have all the cultivation techniques and elixirs they need, and he can also relieve their emptiness and loneliness. Where can you find such a master?

Sang San Niang's talent wasn't particularly high, only above average. She relied mainly on her solid foundation in fist, footwork, and acupoint striking techniques. She only remembered the first three levels of the mantra. It wasn't that I was reluctant to teach her the third level, but rather that she couldn't remember it.

Looking at Sang San Niang, who was limping and constantly looking back, her eyes filled with fanatical worship, Lu Ming suddenly found it much more interesting. Attacking the Demonic Sect? No, quietly emptying their coffers was the right choice.

He had already passed the stage of eradicating the demonic cult and enhancing his reputation. He left the tasks of earning money and sourcing resources to his subordinates, allowing him to focus on his cultivation. If there was anything he wanted to do, it was to get his senior sister pregnant as soon as possible, something Yue Lingshan was much more eager to do.

a few days later.

At the Enlightenment Forest Stele, as the morning light scattered, Lu Ming sat cross-legged, his breathing long and deep. A strong wind blew, rippling the bamboo forest, but his clothes remained unmoved. An invisible protective aura stood before him, flowing with profound patterns, faintly revealing the shadow of advanced martial arts.

Whew! He slowly exhaled, finally stepping into the second level of the Nine Yang Divine Skill. Not yet at the pinnacle, he couldn't achieve the state of perpetual life force; at most, he could accelerate the recovery of internal energy. And his internal energy couldn't be exhausted, otherwise he risked dying from exhaustion.

Back then, the monk Jueyuan passed away in the same way, and the overpowered Zhang Wuji, who was not yet fully accomplished, also died after trying to withstand three palm strikes from Abbess Miejue.

The best cultivation techniques are slow to progress but powerful, and much harder to master than top-tier techniques.

Yue Lingshan approached carrying a food box, her fair cheeks flushed, clearly the radiant beauty of a flower that is always well-nourished and cared for. "Husband, time to eat! Parents are here today. They have something to tell you, and Father doesn't look too good. It seems Eldest Brother has gotten into trouble again, hehe, he's such a worry. Husband is so much better! Let's go see Sister Liu Jing later, she really admires you!"

Liu Zhengfeng's daughter?

It seems Yue Lingshan is truly panicked. Without Lin Shiyin's help to share the burden, she's almost in tears. She's in such a rush, and before she even got pregnant, she's already gone awry—that's when she'll truly be devastated.
