My cells devour all worlds.

No.

According to the booklet given by Fairy Lan Yue, this was merely her clumsy imitation of the Qi of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

She guessed that it had only about one-tenth the power of real internal energy.

Moreover, it consumes a great deal of internal energy and can only be used a few times.

But this is not a problem for Lu Sheng.

His adaptable body has become increasingly suited to martial arts over the past few months.

Moreover, he already had several times more meridians open than ordinary people, so his stored internal energy was naturally the same.

If it weren't for his expansion in this direction, he would have already mastered the twelve meridians and reached the pinnacle of first-class achievement.

But that's about right.

During the time since leaving Linjiang Prefecture, Lu Sheng has opened up two more meridians, and he estimates that he will be able to open up the last meridian in the next few days after returning to Qingzhou.

To become a top-tier martial artist with all twelve meridians open.

With the sponsorship of Lanyue Tower, his Iron Wall Kung Fu successfully entered the dirty training stage.

During this period, Lu Sheng mainly focused on studying the Chen Family's Zhenyue Skill, which he had unexpectedly acquired, in addition to familiarizing himself with the martial arts he had recently mastered.

The method of focusing the mind, especially described in the last few pages of the book, captivated him.

In Lu Sheng's understanding, it didn't seem like something that should exist in the martial arts world; rather, it resembled a visualization technique from a fantasy world.

If one can truly master it, according to the description above, one will be no less skilled than a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.

However, it is also very difficult.

Apart from that ancestor of the Chen family, no one else has been able to master it since, which speaks volumes.

Most people can't even do the first few steps, let alone the final method of focusing their mind.

Fortunately, Lu Sheng had the foundation of Iron Wall Skill, so he was able to get through the first few steps quickly, and then he went to explore the so-called method of guarding the mind.

Just like now, Lu Sheng has already entered the Zhenyue Gong and is now practicing the internal strengthening breathing method of Zhenyue Gong.

He had already incorporated the breathing techniques of Iron Wall Kung Fu into his natural breathing instincts, so now he only needs to make slight adjustments to adapt.

In fact, Lu Sheng felt that Iron Wall Skill was not that simple. Now that he started practicing Dirty Skill, he clearly felt that his progress had slowed down.

After all, internal organs are different from the skin, flesh, and bones before them; if something is wrong, it can affect the whole body.

Once injured, it's no small matter.

We need to be extremely cautious and cannot act as recklessly as before.

Fortunately, he was born with exceptional physical talent, so even if he was a little slower, he was still several times faster than the average person.

Moreover, Lan Yue Lou generously sponsored everything, from the Zhen Yue Gong and Tie Bi Gong to the medicinal herbs needed for daily cultivation.

Given enough time, Lu Sheng believed that none of this would be a problem.

After resting for a while, the team set off again.

Five days later, the group finally returned to Qingzhou.

They changed horses and traveled for several more days before arriving at a county town.

At this point, it was only two or three days' journey to Linjiang Prefecture.

That day, as evening approached, Shen Qingshu and his men, exhausted, found an inn and were about to get some rest.

As soon as Shen Qingshu entered the inn's lobby, he heard a group of people talking animatedly.

"Have you heard? Just the day before yesterday, the Canglang Gang was surrounded by imperial troops because they had secretly set up an armory and were manufacturing swords and armor."

"Wow, really?"

"How could it be fake? My grandparents' brother-in-law's sister-in-law's mother, my brother's wife's neighbor... I saw it with my own eyes."

"Tsk tsk tsk, you have no idea, out of the hundreds of members in the Canglang Gang, not a single one managed to escape."

"Even Li, the leader of the Canglang Gang, was held back by Yue, the garrison commander of the Jing'an Division, and was eventually riddled with crossbow bolts by the city guards."

"Hey, why do you think they'd keep these things for themselves?"

"Perhaps it's in preparation for..."

Shen Qingshu frowned as he listened, his mind becoming increasingly confused.

I was thinking of hurrying back to tell my father what had happened in Qingyun Prefecture, so that he would be careful of the Canglang Gang's conspiracy.

But now the Canglang Gang has been wiped out.

Does that mean the matter is now hopeless?

Shen Qingshu glanced at Chief镖头 Dong and noticed that the other man also seemed somewhat bewildered.

Shen Qingshu rubbed his temples. Since he couldn't figure it out, he decided to stop thinking about it.

Let Father worry about it; it's only a two-day journey anyway.

rest first.

As he pondered this, Shen Qingshu walked upstairs to the guest room.

Lu Sheng followed behind Shen Qingshu.

Before going upstairs, Lu Sheng's gaze involuntarily fell on two people in the corner of the hall.

A man and a woman; the man was handsome, and the woman was petite.

The woman was serving tea and wine to the man and attending to his meals; it appeared to be a master-servant relationship.

It looked like a young master taking his maid out for a stroll.

Strangely, Lu Sheng felt that the two looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.

I thought about it, but couldn't remember for a moment.

I guess I've seen it somewhere before.

Lu Sheng shook his head, not taking it seriously.

After all, he had been to many places under the identity of Wanfa Shura, so it was not surprising that he had seen the two of them.

Once all the people from the escort agency had gone upstairs, the handsome young man in the corner finally spoke up: "Alright, Xiaoqing, you can sit down too."

"Yes, young master."

Qingli, who almost misspoke, pursed her lips and quickly glanced around.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, he patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

She lowered her voice, "You scared me just now. I thought that guy named Lu Sheng had found us!"

Disguised as a handsome young man, Ye Xinglan couldn't help but smile. "Xiao Qing, you're overthinking it. He's just a good-for-nothing who only knows how to eat and sleep."

"Alright, stop being so suspicious. Let's eat something first; we still have a long journey ahead of us tomorrow."

Their disguises were so convincing that even the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) couldn't see anything amiss, let alone an ordinary person who knew no martial arts and only ate and slept the whole way.

"it is good."

Qingli agreed, and after picking up her chopsticks and taking two bites, she couldn't help but look towards the stairwell again.

"...Young master, are we really not going to remind that young hero Shen?"

Perhaps there is a little bit of guilt.

Perhaps it was because of Shen Qingshu's righteous act of killing the lecherous thief Liu Wuzong.

Perhaps it's a bit of a pity that we haven't seen Shen Qingshu and Su Wanqing get together yet.

Qingli couldn't bear to see Shen Qingshu die in vain.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xinglan glared at her, "How many heads do you have to lose?"

Qingli stuck out her tongue, her voice softening, "You still asked me to deliver a pot of wine to him..."

Ye Xinglan picked up her chopsticks expressionlessly and tapped them on Qing Li's head.

Qingli covered her head and let out a soft gasp, obediently shutting her mouth.

Ye Xinglan gave Qingli a disapproving look. "Don't even think about it. My brother has already made up his mind. As the young head of the Changfeng Escort Agency, there's no way he can escape."

"Xiaoqing understands."

Qingli pursed her lips, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Over the years she followed the princess out, she did countless dirty and tiring jobs for the imperial court.

His hands were also stained with blood, but most of those people deserved to die.

People like Shen Qingshu are rare.

After investigation, Qingli learned that Shen Qingshu had always been dissatisfied with himself because of his father's prestige and often locked himself up.

Now that I've finally mustered the courage to face life again, and I even have a girl I like, but then...

Life is truly full of disappointments.

For some reason, Qingli didn't want to see Shen Qingshu die like that.

Unfortunately, it's impossible, it's impossible.

Even the princess couldn't do anything, so what could she do?
