From the Iron Shirt Technique to physical sanctification

Zhang Yu reached out and helped Li Feifei up: "From now on, you'll stay by my side."

"Thank you, senior!" Li Feifei's face lit up with a sweet smile.

The banquet was lavish, including a pot of level-four spirit fish soup. Zhang Yu took a sip; it was incredibly delicious, and a warm sensation flowed through his body, making him feel very comfortable. So he drank a few more sips.

Seeing that Zhang Yu loved drinking it, Li Feifei kept adding spirit fish meat and ladling soup to his plate. In the end, almost the entire plate of level-four spirit fish soup ended up in Zhang Yu's stomach.

Li Shouyuan glared at Li Feifei several times, but Li Feifei ignored him.

After dinner, Li Shouyuan invited Zhang Yu to his study. Li Feifei wanted to follow, but was stopped at the door.

She stood in the yard, pouting and sulking.

Without further ado, Li Shouyuan went to the study and took out a small box about two feet square.

The box has two layers. The top layer contains eight first-class martial arts manuals, including eight types of martial arts: fist, palm, finger, leg, knife, sword, staff, and spear.

There is a hidden compartment at the bottom of the box, which is the second layer, where the Yellow-grade martial art, Nine-Fold Ripple Palm, is kept.

"Young Master Zhang, Feifei has bet her life that you will become a great figure in the future. Our Li family cannot be stingy. This is a collection of first-class martial arts techniques gathered by our family over hundreds of years, as well as our Li family's unique Nine-Fold Ripple Palm." Li Shouyuan placed the box in front of Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu glanced at it and said, "Thank you, Patriarch Li. I will remember this favor."

"The Li family has been operating in Fengque City for hundreds of years. Young Master Zhang, please feel free to give any instructions." Li Shouyuan adopted a very humble attitude.

He is a martial artist in the late stage of the Transformation Realm.

Zhang Yu had already taken down the top-tier assassins of the Soul Reaper Palace, so he had no choice but to lower his stance.

Most importantly, Li Shouyuan's personality is very similar to Li Feifei's.

Since Li Shouyuan had already given Zhang Yu the most valuable thing in the Li family, it would be a thankless and foolish thing to continue to act like this. So Li Shouyuan became a replica of Li Feifei and tried his best to please Zhang Yu.

A moment later, Zhang Yu carried the box out of the study and headed towards Tingyu Xiaozhu.

"Senior brother, let me help you with that." Li Feifei stepped forward and took the box without a word. "Did you give me the Nine-Fold Ripple Palm?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yu nodded.

"My father is wise," Li Feifei said.

Zhang Yu smiled but didn't say anything.

Nothing more was said that night. The next morning, Zhang Yu slept until late morning. This prompted Li Shouyuan to ask his daughter several times, "Is Zhang Yu really a genius? Did he really kill a half-step True Qi Realm assassin in one move?"

"Of course, Father, would I lie to you?"

"Shouldn't geniuses get up and cultivate in the morning? The purple aura rises in the east; morning is the best time for cultivation." Li Shouyuan looked puzzled.

"Dad, you don't understand. Senior Brother Zhang's talent is beyond that of ordinary geniuses." Li Feifei's eyes showed admiration.

A moment later, Zhang Yu yawned and walked out of the bedroom. Li Feifei immediately went to greet him, ignoring her father.

"Senior brother..."

After washing up and having breakfast, Li Feifei accompanied Zhang Yu as they left the Li residence and strolled around Fengque City.

The Misty Rain Pavilion is the largest brothel in Phoenix City, and it is rumored that the person behind the Misty Rain Pavilion is the Third Prince of the current dynasty.

The building is closed during the day. As Zhang Yu passed by the entrance of Yanyu Pavilion, he glanced at it. The five-story wooden building was very grand and elegant, without a trace of vulgarity.

Wow, such an elegant brothel!

"Senior brother, Yanyu Pavilion is a den of iniquity. Every night, people spend a fortune there." Li Feifei said, "The eight courtesans each have their own unique characteristics. They sell their art but not their bodies, which makes the playboys of the capital infatuated with them. They wish they could send all the money in their families to Yanyu Pavilion."

After listening to Li Feifei's story, Zhang Yu felt a little envious. He thought that working hard to collect medicinal herbs in Cangmang City might not earn him as much as he could in one night at Yanyu Pavilion.

Yunting Teahouse was the meeting place they had arranged with Sima Rui. Zhang Yu led Li Feifei to the second floor and found that besides Sima Rui, there was also a man and a woman.

The man looked indifferent, while the girl glared at Zhang Yu with hatred.

"Senior Brother Zhang, this is Sima Zheng, the young master of our Sima family." As for the woman, Sima Rui did not introduce her.

Zhang Yu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Sima Zheng.

The other party returned the greeting without saying much. However, the woman sitting next to him had an arrogant demeanor and a fierce look in her eyes, which made Zhang Yu very uncomfortable.

"Senior Brother Zhang, I may have misspoke. The young master has asked me to assist him these past few days..." Sima Rui said apologetically, cupping his fists to Zhang Yu.

He had personally witnessed Zhang Yu's instant kill of a half-step True Qi Realm assassin, so he held Zhang Yu in high regard.

"It's alright," Zhang Yu said, turning around and leaving with Li Feifei.

"Stop! Did I say you could leave?" The woman's sharp voice rang out from behind.

"A refugee from Cangmang City got lucky and became a disciple of Lingyin Academy. Does he really think he's someone important? You're just a dog of our Sima family." The woman stood up and stared at Zhang Yu with a ferocious expression.

"Sister Shu, be careful what you say," Sima Zheng said.

Sima Rui wanted to speak, but he seemed hesitant to open his mouth. He was a member of a collateral branch of the family and not particularly talented. He had no standing whatsoever in front of Sima Zheng and Sima Shu.

He even harbored a slight expectation that Zhang Yu would teach Sima Shu, this unruly and mean woman, a lesson.

He was insulted and bullied by the other party since he was a child, which became a psychological trauma.

"Which bitch is barking?" Li Feifei turned around and sized up Sima Shu: "Oh, it's you, you bitch. Did you eat shit this early in the morning? Your mouth smells so foul."

"You dare insult me? Do you know who I am?" Sima Shu roared in fury, "I'll skin you alive, you slut!"

Sima Shu stood up and threw a punch at Li Feifei.

She is 15 years old this year, with average talent. She doesn't practice diligently and her internal strength cultivation is entirely due to the pills she takes.

boom!

Fists and palms collided.

Sima Shu's punch was immediately shattered by Li Feifei's ripple palm strike, leaving her wide open. Then, Li Feifei took a step closer and, with both hands, delivered two slaps to her face.

The blow made Sima Shu see stars.

"You're asking for it! How dare you hit my sister!" Sima Zheng was furious and stood up, kicking Li Feifei in the stomach.

Uh...

A whooshing sound rang out.

Sima Zheng, a martial artist at the True Qi Realm, is a genius of the Sima family.

Before her feet even reached him, Li Feifei sensed a powerful surge of energy. The next second, a figure blocked her way.

At this moment, Zhang Yu's expression was grave, and he unleashed a powerful avalanche attack to meet Sima Zheng's foot.

boom!

A tremendous force came from the fist, and Zhang Yu's body involuntarily took two steps back before he was able to dissipate the force.

This was the first time he had used his ultimate move, the Great Avalanche, but he was forced back by his opponent.

"The True Qi Realm is indeed not simple; a simple kick can break my killing move, Great Avalanche."

"What if we use the true meaning of shattering?"

Zhang Yu quickly considered countermeasures in his mind, assessing the difference in strength between himself and Sima Zheng.

Sima Zheng withdrew his foot and looked coldly at Zhang Yu: "The first place winner of the Green Eagle Competition is indeed not simple, but in front of me, he is still just a chicken and a dog."

"Young Master, Zhang Yu is Elder Shi Cangyue's personal disciple, and Elder Shi Cangyue is very protective of his own." Seeing that things were about to get out of control, Sima Rui immediately stepped forward and said to Sima Zheng.

"Brother, he's the one who killed Brother Ye. He just had people beat me up again. Waaah, brother, please kill him for me," Sima Shu cried to Sima Zheng.

The Ye family and the Sima family have a marriage agreement; Ye Ditian is Sima Shu's fiancé.
