Chapter 84 Qiao Feng entry, Homestead Upgrade

The capital city, the Dragon Guard Villa.

The man, with a square face and wearing a five-clawed python robe, had a gloomy expression and an imposing aura that sent chills down people's spines.

After reading the letter in his hand, Iron-Blooded Marquis did not immediately shred it; his eyes were deep. He had already investigated the background of Monk Wuhua, and with the news brought by his adopted daughter Flying Eagle, he already understood about 70-80% of the situation.

A mixed-race individual of Japanese descent has seized the leadership of the Beggars' Sect?

He didn't care, and he didn't take it seriously.

But whether the other person's medical skills could save his beloved woman was what he was concerned about.

He glanced at the letter again, his hand trembled, and the white paper turned to dust and vanished.

"Send a letter to Haitang, instructing her to inquire with Lu Ming whether there is a way to cure those who have taken Tianxiang Doukou. The Huashan Sect shall pay 10% of all tax revenue within a radius of 300 li to them."

In the empty hall, a shadowy man clasped his hands and said, "Your subordinate obeys."

Iron-Blooded Marquis's gaze drifted to the distant border battlefield—this was his chance. If rebellion failed, he would destroy a nation, seize its throne, and become emperor!

Who will dare to stop him from marrying Su Xin then?

Who dares!

Hengyang, Liu Mansion.

Lu Ming's needles moved with lightning speed, so fast that onlookers couldn't even see his technique. In a short while, the bald old monk in front of them was covered with silver needles, and the gold needles had sunk into his skull. A slight mistake would mean certain death.

He sat cross-legged, circulated the Purple Cloud Divine Skill, channeled his inner energy to protect his heart meridian, and continuously coagulated the stagnant blood.

Wow!

After spitting out several mouthfuls of black blood, Lu Ming patted the head again, and the prepared medicine was drawn in by his internal force and poured into the golden needles on his head.

Such incredible skill drew admiration from Lin Xian'er, whose beautiful eyes sparkled repeatedly. Ever since her master spoke up, her interest in Lu Ming had reached its peak. To be able to fight to a draw with a renowned hero like Qiao Feng at such a young age was beyond description; "excellent" was simply an understatement.

If she could make him fall at her feet, what wouldn't she have to worry about?

A base woman uses her beauty to please men; anyone can sleep with her. A clever woman maintains a distance, saving her virginity until the very end.

This was the wise saying of her master, Fairy Yunmeng. If it weren't for the old Taoist priest of Wudang Mountain who subdued the demons over the years, Fairy Yunmeng would not have retired from the martial world and disappeared without a trace.

Slowly withdrawing his hand, Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother, I have fulfilled my mission and finally managed to save the master."

Qiao Feng was overjoyed and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "There's no need for thanks between brothers. In the future, if anything happens, I'll go through fire and water for you!"

Lu Ming's expression was strange: "Don't speak so confidently. If I ask you to kidnap a woman in the future, will you still do it?"

"Haha, I know a thing or two about my second brother's character. You have never killed an innocent person, and all your actions are just. If it is truly necessary, and there is a reason for it, I will certainly comply."

That's Qiao Feng for you. When he trusts you, even bad things can be seen as good. Nothing is greater than brotherhood.

Lin Xian'er inwardly scorned her. What an idiot, she didn't even realize she'd been sold out. If Lu Mingruo were truly upright, he shouldn't have married Lin Shiyin; wasn't he just after the Li family's wealth?

A man who's a little bad is good; she likes him even more when he's a little bad!

An upright man is good, but unfortunately he's a blockhead, utterly boring and uninteresting!

"Alright, take a few days off and make yourself at home. I also need to go to Hengshan Sect to take care of some business, and then go to Wudang. Life is so busy, there's not even time to spend with my confidante."

When Lu Ming said this, he truly didn't blush or skip a beat.

Lin Xian'er cursed inwardly. If she hadn't seen the pretty nun from Hengshan Sect enter the room with Yue Lingshan last night, she might have actually believed it.

Speaking of the Wudang Sect, when Liu Fu retired from martial arts, he remained a mere spectator, offering no comment whatsoever. The southern border of Sichuan was a separate sect, and it was inappropriate for them to interfere.

Afterwards, they rested at the inn, waiting for him to return to Wudang together.

They were definitely anxious, but Yu Erxia had been paralyzed for so long, and Zhang Sanfeng had said that he must be treated with the utmost courtesy, so they waited.

Liu Zhengfeng left, but he left behind his mansion and family property. Lu Ming couldn't possibly stay here either, and the Huashan Sect had no one to help guard it. Now he could truly understand the predicament of having no manpower available.

Yue Buqun probably encountered this situation more than once back then. If it weren't for the fact that Lao Denuo was still somewhat capable, he would have had no choice but to accept him even though he knew he was an inside man.

Lu Minghao was different; he sent a message to Sang Sanniang, asking her to send someone with a clean background to negotiate. With her there, there was no need to worry about these consistently profitable shops and estates being stolen.

Daring to rob the Sun Moon Cult? That's suicidal!

After finishing his medical practice, he went to the backyard to meditate and check the gains he had made from sparring with Qiao Feng the day before.

[The more you fight, the stronger you become (Gold): As the duration of combat increases, the power and speed of your moves, as well as your health and internal energy, recover (Note: This also applies to sexual activity).]

"Could this be Qiao Feng's unique talent? Considering the bloody battle at Juxian Manor, it's understandable, but I wonder how effective it will be? Maybe we should try it with Ouyang Feng next time?"

The last note is rather intriguing; it seems we won't need to soak goji berries in boiling water anymore?

[Achievement Completed: Witness Madam Liu's retirement from public life, with both Madam Liu and Liu Jing surviving and taking over the Liu family business. Reward: Homestead upgrade, crops mature faster, resource point respawn rate slightly increased.]

This reward is pretty good; at least we won't lack food and drink.

With a light step, I arrived at a shop.

Sang San Niang was surprised by the other party's sudden appearance, but still knelt down and bowed respectfully: "This concubine greets Your Majesty."

[To fulfill Sang San Niang's wish, a jade pendant symbolizing mutual affection will be distributed. (Note: Please distribute these pendants respectfully and not indiscriminately.)]

"This is my family heirloom, and I'm giving it to you. Now I'll teach you how to use the jade pendant. If you need anything in the future, you can find me in the homestead."

home?

The next second, the world spun around, and Sang San Niang found herself in a secluded, idyllic manor. This was beyond her comprehension, leaving her speechless with astonishment. Her gaze towards Lu Ming became even more fervent; her master must be a deity!

If one is not a deity, how could they possibly possess such skills?

immortal?

No, he's not really. At most, he's just a martial arts master.

An hour later, Sang Sanniang, carrying gifts worth hundreds of millions, now revered Lu Ming as a god, and wouldn't hesitate to commit suicide without hesitation: "My lord, rest assured, I will take good care of the valuables. News has just come that Dongfang Bubai has defected to the Eastern Depot and is gathering his followers to go to the border to deal with the Qing army's invasion."

Lu Ming seemed thoughtful, sensing something big was about to happen. Considering Liu Zhengfeng's recruitment, it was likely that the Dragon Guard Manor wasn't just after him. One Liu Zhengfeng wasn't enough to warrant Shangguan Haitang's personal visit; there must be something else going on.

Thinking that Yue Buqun suddenly chased after them and missed the chance to retire from the martial arts world, it seems that someone is setting up a conspiracy against the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Sect.

"Where is Qu Yang?"

"Qu Yang was rescued by the people of the Dragon Guard Manor, and it seems he has also been recruited. My lord, I believe this is a plan to use the martial arts world of southern Sichuan as cannon fodder against the army."

Sang San Niang raised her head, her eyes filled with admiration and fascination, and began to analyze carefully. She possessed intelligence about the Sun Moon Cult, and with her exceptional abilities, she obtained the answer almost immediately.

"Find a way to stay and oversee affairs. If Dongfang Bubai refuses, go back to the manor and hide. Your survival is more important to me!"

"By the way, keep an eye on Ren Yingying and Lan Fenghuang of the Five Poisons Sect. Don't make enemies with them, and befriend them when the time is right. They can still be useful to me if they're alive."

Lu Ming didn't dwell on these thoughts. He still had many things to do, and he hadn't even fully mastered the Nine Yang Divine Skill yet. Getting involved in the mess in the capital would only bring harm, not benefit.

Sang San Niang nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I have a request."

"explain."

"I do not wish to drink this contraceptive soup!"

Now it was Lu Ming's turn to have a strange expression. As if he had thought of something, he said with a wicked smile, "Okay, but even if you're absent, the work still needs to be done. You can do it yourself or find someone reliable to do it; it's up to you."

Sang San Niang was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed and knelt down: "Thank you, Master. I will make the arrangements."
