The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

In the formation arranged by more than a dozen top-grade spirit stones, Lan Shuang's small courtyard was like a paradise. If the spiritual energy in the small courtyard was not constantly circulating in the formation, it would even dissipate. Zeng Wenyu, who was resting in it, was lucky. Lan Shuang's body was constantly nourished by such pure spiritual energy, and her weakness caused by long-term sleep was recovering at a very fast speed.

When the two woke up the next day, Lan Shuang's body had fully recovered. Of course, such rich spiritual energy did not just help her body recover. After just one night's rest, Lan Shuang even felt that her cultivation had improved a lot. Although it could not allow her to directly break through a small realm, it was enough to be comparable to nearly half a month of practice.

After they had packed up and washed up, they pushed open the gate of the small courtyard and prepared to return to the City Lord's Mansion. As soon as they opened the door, they saw a lot of porcelain jars and herbs placed outside the gate. These porcelain jars were the ones lost in Lan Shuang's house, and those herbs were the medicines she had taken before.

Looking at the porcelain jars and herbs on the ground, Zeng Wenyu chuckled: "Oh? It seems that someone must have not slept well last night and returned the things stolen from the house overnight."

"They are just ordinary porcelain bottles and herbs. I won't retaliate if they take them away," Lan Shuang shook her head helplessly. "Even if they don't return them, I won't care about these ordinary porcelain bottles and herbs. After all, they didn't find the things that are really important to me."

"Hahaha, then they don't know either. I believe they all heard the loud noise when I rebuilt the wall of your small courtyard last night. Even if they know you very well and are not afraid that you will retaliate against them because of these things, they don't know me who rebuilt the small courtyard. What if I vent my anger on them because of the things they stole?"

"That's right, but the spiritual herbs and medicinal herbs you planted in the yard are worth many times more than these herbs. How could you possibly make things difficult for them just because of these herbs?"

Zeng Wenyu nodded. He had never thought of making things difficult for those who stole the Lan Shuang herbs and porcelain jars. Moreover, Lan Shuang was not actually injured. According to Mu Zhi, the reason why she felt uncomfortable before was only because of the restriction that Hu Gongsheng had placed in her sea of ​​consciousness. Now that the restriction had been removed by Mu Zhi, Lan Shuang no longer felt uncomfortable.

There was no rush to return to the City Lord's Mansion. Instead, the two of them strolled on the streets of the border city.

The street is still bustling with people coming and going. The previous imprisonment of the city lord Hoda has not affected the lives of ordinary people at all. In their eyes, being able to make money and survive is the most important thing. As for the affairs of the upper class, only the upper class can solve them. As long as it does not affect their lives, what difference does it make who is the city lord?

Those priests were naturally wise men, and they did not exploit the common people during the time they were domineering in the City Lord's Mansion. They basically squandered the tributes from the families guarding the border cities. Now that they are dead, the only ones who would feel heartbroken are probably the families that wanted to please and invest in those priests.

After Huoda regained power, he did not make things difficult for the families that tried to curry favor with the few worshippers. Even if they were not very successful in their own families, they were still people from the Central Imperial City. Which family would not want to curry favor with them? Who knows if they would say something nice when they go back, and their families would pay attention to these families? It is normal for people to want to climb up, and Huoda would not think there is anything wrong with that. However, Huoda would not be so easy to talk to those who took advantage of his misfortune during his imprisonment.

Such purges were controlled by Hoda within a very small scope. The families to be purged were dealt with secretly, and the industries of these families were distributed to those families who firmly supported Hoda even during his imprisonment.

The impact on ordinary people was minimal, and they still lived their own lives. Walking all the way towards the City Lord's Mansion, Zeng Wenyu saw many shops that he had visited before. He would buy some things from these shops and put them into his storage ring. Zeng Wenyu planned to cook dinner for everyone after he returned, and then he would go to Liang State.

Parting is for a better meeting. Knowing that Zeng Wenyu was leaving tomorrow, Hua Wu Yue stayed with Zeng Wenyu at night until early in the morning. She and Lan Shuang personally sent Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi out of the border city. Seeing Zeng Wenyu's figure disappear, the two reluctantly returned to the border city.

Zeng Wenyu had walked this road from Shubian City to Zhengxi City of Liang State twice. Once was when he went from Shubian City to Zhengxi City to cause damage, and once was when he returned from Zhengxi City to Shubian City after causing damage. Although it was only done twice, Zeng Wenyu was still familiar with this road.

After passing through the narrowest area of ​​the Monster Grassland, Zeng Wenyu and Mu Zhi truly set foot on the border of Liang State.

Although Liang State was now in a period of change, not many people fled to Kang State from this road. When they almost reached the city of Zhengxi, they only saw about ten families in total. Half of these ten families were nobles and businessmen dressed in luxurious clothes. They were afraid that the changes in Liang State would lead to the loss of their own wealth, so they fled to Kang State.

There hasn't been much change between Zhengxi City and the time Zeng Wenyu came last time. After all, Zeng Wenyu came at night last time and the people in the city had already rested.

Zhengxi City was very lively during the day, not much different from Shubian City, except that the people on the streets looked too thin, and many of them were skinny, but they all had smiles on their faces.

"Sir! Sir! Don't miss it if you pass by. The monster meat we raise is guaranteed to be fresh!"

"Look, sir? This is a handmade pendant I made myself. I guarantee it's pure handmade!"

This kind of shouting kept ringing in Zeng Wenyu's ears. Zeng Wenyu walked to a stall selling monster meat. The owner of this meat stall was a little stronger than the others.

"Sir, what would you like to order? Monster meat or monster steaks? I also sell organs," the butcher said with a smile on his face. "Don't worry, sir, the monsters are all slaughtered that day, and the meat is guaranteed to be fresh! If it's not fresh, bring it to me and I'll give you a refund without hesitation!"

Seeing the smile on the boss's face, Zeng Wenyu pointed to a piece of monster meat and said, "Pack this piece for me."

"okay!"

"By the way, Boss, how is life in Zhengxi City now?"

When the butcher heard Zeng Wenyu's question, he quickly wrapped the meat for Zeng Wenyu, and then answered: "Sir, you are not from Liang State, right? That's no wonder. Liang State is much better now than before, thanks to those revolutionary monks. They are our benefactors!"
