Ningxiang closed the window: "The poisonous beasts in the mountains affected by the evil energy are very powerful. My little bit of magic power can't withstand such consumption. A martial artist with a high level of cultivation might be able to."

High-level martial artist?

Chen Sanshi listened and thought, "How come cultivating immortality is not as good as practicing martial arts?"

"I have embarked on the path of immortality, but I have not yet attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. I am still a long way from becoming a true immortal."

Ningxiang seemed to see through his thoughts and explained, "Not to mention that the spiritual energy here is scarce, making it difficult to improve one's cultivation. So, General, you must understand the value of spiritual sand and not forget me in the future."

Chen Sanshi nodded.

It seems that the venomous beast was born under the influence of malevolent energy.

However, to date, no one knows exactly what happened that caused the malevolent energy in the Luotian Mountains to increase year by year.

A miracle...

But that's a very distant prospect, probably requiring a Xuanxiang level or even a Martial Saint level before one can explore it.

The immediate priority is to first neutralize the internal energy and then cultivate sword qi techniques to deal with the troublesome Yin Hanwen.

"Thank you, young lady. Farewell!"

Chen Sanshi said he was about to leave.

"Hey, General, you can't leave."

Ningxiang hurriedly stopped her: "You spent a lot of money, five thousand taels. If you leave now, what if outsiders notice something and expose your identity? Rest for one night and leave tomorrow. If you want to do something, that's not impossible."

"..."

Chen Sanshi should at least show some respect when he receives something from someone else.

He didn't refuse: "Does your Seeking Immortals Pavilion have to be in a place like this?"

"Even a woman like me needs to make a living."

Ningxiang explained, "Do you think seeking immortality doesn't require spending money?"

Chen Sanshi didn't say anything more. He asked her to find him a flower spear used in operas, and then he began practicing in the room.

He dared not get involved with women of unknown origin, let alone associate with immortal magic. Even if his life was not in danger, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be other traps.

The effects of the Linghe ointment are still present in the body.

His progress has not fallen behind recently.

[Technique: National Guardian Dragon Spear - Transformation of Internal Energy (Beginner)]

【Progress: 71/100】

Before they knew it, they had been practicing until dawn. When Chen Sanshi looked at Ningxiang and Zhaozhao, one was asleep on the bed that was only half full, and the other was unconscious on the table.

Before he left, he woke Ningxiang up and said, "Hey, give me back my money."

That's five thousand taels!

Having risked their lives to kill Huang Tianrong and only received such a small reward, how could they possibly stay here for nothing?

The matter of spirit sand is a separate transaction and has nothing to do with silver.

"General, you want to get something for free?"

Ningxiang said angrily, "The general has ruined the bed, yet he won't even pay a single copper coin!"

"You woman, where did I touch you!"

Chen Sanshi urged, "I'm not in the mood to waste words with you, I need to go back to camp to check in!"

"Why are you being so fierce?"

Ningxiang seemed genuinely frightened and frantically searched for several silver notes.

Chen Sanshi stuffed the silver notes into his pocket and strode away.

After he left, I could faintly hear crying behind me.

"Sigh, what a drama queen."

Chen Sanshi was speechless. After summoning Qianxun, he headed straight for the military city.

After roll call, he received a message.

Sha Wenlong was transferred to the Tianlang Camp, and the deputy general of the reserve camp was replaced by a deputy general from the Yunzhong Camp, which was obviously done deliberately.

That's a good thing.

It is absolutely terrifying to have your superior harbor malicious intentions and want to kill you, especially in the military where many orders must be obeyed, even if it means sending someone to their death.

I just don't know who did it.

The most likely candidate is Ninth Senior Sister.

Just as Senior Brother Fang said, Senior Sister Rong Yanqiu is reliable, and I really need to thank her properly later.

……

"You did it?"

On the martial arts field.

Cao Fan questioned, "Don't play dumb. I'm referring to the matter of the Yuyang Sect. Did you have Sha Wenlong arrange for him to encounter a martial arts master, hoping to use this opportunity to kill someone?"

"Your Highness, it's me..."

Yin Hanwen explained, “I wanted to help His Highness share the burden! Your lifespan is responsible for the capital and thirty-six prefectures of the Great Sheng Dynasty. How can you waste it to compete with such a person for a temporary victory?”

"Don't worry, Your Highness. He has no evidence. Sha Wenlong is our loyal follower and he would never let anything slip. We can always find another opportunity later."

"You go."

Cao Fan did not blame him, but said calmly, "Anyway, you did not participate in the selection of the vanguard and currently do not hold a position in Liangzhou. I am worried that if the commander-in-chief comes back and investigates this matter, it will be difficult to explain."

"Commander Sun may not be able to return for a certain period of time, and Your Highness, don't you trust me?"

Yin Hanwen hurriedly said, "Even if they find out about me, I'll take full responsibility for my actions!"

"Do you think I can escape responsibility once the investigation reaches you?"

Cao Fan frowned: "Even if I defeat Chen Sanshi in the future, I still need to make a good impression on the Grand Tutor, otherwise I still won't get the real teachings."

"Your Highness, this matter is my fault!"

Yin Hanwen finally came to his senses: "I will leave, and not stay to implicate the Crown Prince."

"Ah."

Cao Fan patted him on the shoulder: "Help your father with his affairs more, so that he can lend me a hand in the future. Once I have prestige in the Liangzhou army, I will invite you back."

Yin Hanwen agreed, "I'll leave at the end of this month once my arrow wound has healed."

Cao Fan didn't say anything more, but picked up the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and continued practicing martial arts.

Recently, he has been so engrossed in his work that he has almost forgotten to eat and sleep.

"Damn it!"

After stepping back, Yin Hanwen slammed his fist into the training post: "How can that Chen fellow be able to refine internal organs and kill those who have reached the Transformation Realm! How dare he! If this continues, he will really cause the Crown Prince a lot of trouble in the future. No, we absolutely cannot let him live!"

"Old Wei, you have to help me!"

He turned his gaze to the martial artist he worshipped: "Help me kill him!"

"Young master, you mustn't do that."

Old Master Wei advised, "Killing someone in Liangzhou City will definitely be thoroughly investigated."

"Then let's wait until we leave Liangzhou, and when we leave, we must announce it to the world so that everyone knows we're gone and clear our names!"

"Then, Elder Wei, you turned back to kill people and frame the Witch God Cult!"

"Old Wei, we're counting on you!"

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen!"

After Chen Sanshi finished his training and put down his spear to rest, he saw Yan Changqing running over excitedly, followed by many soldiers with the same expression.

"Incredible, absolutely incredible!"

Yan Changqing clapped his hands and exclaimed in admiration: "Brother Chen is truly a role model for us all!"

"What role model?"

Chen Sanshi was taken aback.

"Look at you, it's pointless to keep pretending."

Yan Changqing said with a wicked smile, "It's all over now. The whole of Liangzhou City knows about your romantic affair with Miss Ningxiang!"

"Isn't it?"
