Long spears, bows and arrows, and the Zhenyue sword—all were present.

It's not that I'm not worried about being discovered at all.

only……

The Liang family had better pray that no one would discover him.

Otherwise, Poyang County would have suffered another massacre of an entire family.

Not what it used to be.

When he first started learning martial arts, he had to swallow his pride and keep quiet when he saw people from the martial arts school.

Nowadays, martial arts practitioners don't even need to lift a finger; they can simply hook their fingers and pull the bowstring to solve the problem.

I just need to borrow some medicinal herbs.

Hopefully they won't be ungrateful.

Chen Sanshi quickly found a warehouse specifically for storing medicinal herbs.

The guard was dozing off at the table, which saved the lives of dozens of members of the Liang family.

He climbed through the window into the medicine storehouse, grabbed a sack, and started stuffing it.

In no time, it was packed full.

"There really are black ginseng, and quite a lot of it. Enough for me to use for a while."

In a corner, Chen Sanshi found some exquisitely stored boxes. When he opened them, he found ginseng, precious herbs, and many rare and precious medicines that could be used to neutralize various poisons.

Whether he needed it or not, he packed it all up and took it with him.

Inside the quiet Liang family mansion.

Only one study was lit by candlelight.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Sanshi stepped onto the eaves and peered through a crack inside.

Inside the room, at the desk.

A middle-aged man with gray hair sat there, books scattered haphazardly in front of him, a folding fan in his hand, which he rubbed back and forth blankly.

'Is this Liang Zhan's fan?'

'Ha, you old fool, missing your son?!'

Chen Sanshi hesitated whether or not to send them to reunite as a family.

"waste!"

Sharp, scathing insults followed.

A similarly haggard woman rushed out of the bedroom and headed straight for the study, rudely kicking open the door: "Old man, what's the use of you putting on an act here every day? If you really care about Zhan'er, why don't you go and take revenge!"

"I'd like to apply!"

Liang Shengzhi gritted his teeth and said, "But Xiang Tingchun has only achieved minor mastery of internal organ cultivation. How could I be his match? Besides, we have no evidence, so he will definitely not admit it!"

Xiang Tingchun?

Chen Sanshi was surprised.

So it turns out that Lord Qianhu has been taking the blame for him all along.

"So what!"

The woman shouted at the top of her lungs, "You can ask someone else for help! Does Xiang Tingchun think he's invincible? Don't the county magistrate and the prefect have their own 'internal organs' around him? Go and beg them for help!"

"No one can help me."

Liang Shengzhi's voice trembled with tears: "Ji Guangxian and Xiang Tingchun are birds of a feather, how could they possibly help me kill Xiang Tingchun? Even if I were to go bankrupt, I couldn't afford that price!"

"What about the county magistrate?!"

The woman lowered her voice: "Hasn't the magistrate been calling you over repeatedly lately? Can't you ask him for help?"

"Even more impossible!"

Liang Shengzhi said, "The newly arrived Magistrate Xue is said to have been sent by the Grand Secretary. He rarely accepts our gifts and is arrogant. How could he possibly be our assassin?"

"Moreover, he has been calling us over repeatedly lately to question us about the Immortal Treasure!"

"If you want his help, unless..."

He suddenly understood what the woman meant: "You've gone mad! Hiding a magical treasure is a crime punishable by the extermination of your entire family, no, by the execution of nine generations of your clan... Doing this might avenge Zhan'er... but it would also destroy the Liang family's century-old foundation!"

"Foundation?"

The woman burst into maniacal laughter: "Liang Shengzhi, your son is dead, who are you going to leave your legacy to? Besides, the barbarians are about to attack the city, do you think you can hide at home? The Xiang family won't conscript you into their ranks?"

Liang Shengzhi hurriedly stood up: "What are you doing?!"

The woman pressed a hairpin against her throat and said, "If you're really such a coward, I'll go find Zhan'er myself!"

"what--"

Liang Shengzhi roared and overturned the table: "You've all forced me into this, so let's all die together! Xiang Tingchun, I'll take you down with me!"

What a touching scene of father and son showing their deep affection, with the elderly burying their children!

Is it touching?

Chen Sanshi sneered.

When these beasts were capturing villagers for drug testing, did they never think that these people also had families?

Even if we kill their entire family, sparing neither men nor women, young nor old, it wouldn't deserve any sympathy; on the contrary, it would be doing the people a favor.

However, since they have pinned the blame on Xiang Tingchun and are involved with Xianbao, they cannot kill him indiscriminately, otherwise it may cause further complications.

"The magistrate really is here to find the immortal treasure, and he even has a cultivator with him!"

"Judging from the Liang family's intentions, they are going to report this to the county magistrate."

"May you have good fortune, sir."

Chen Sanshi did not stay any longer. He leaped away and disappeared into the night after leaving the Liang family mansion, vanishing without a trace.

……

"You want to practice swordsmanship?"

Wang Zhi, who was sitting on the stone stool drinking, looked up, somewhat puzzled by the boy's sudden request: "Are you sure?"

"determine."

Chen Sanshi nodded emphatically.

He had asked Sun Li and her brother, but neither of them knew how, so he had no choice but to come to Tang Ruoshan.

Wang Zhi thought carefully: "I do have one, come with me."

The first time I entered Fatty Wang's house, I was surprised by how simple it was.

The yard was unattended, and the rooms were unfurnished, except for a bed and a locked chest in the bedroom.

Wang Zhi opened the box, took out a bunch of martial arts manuals, and picked out a few sword manuals, tossing them over as if they were worthless: "See which one you want to practice. I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of martial arts manuals."

"When they packed their bags and left, they only took away the cultivation techniques above the Refinement of the Viscera level; I kept all the ones below that level."

"Of these books, the best one should be 'The Sword of Diancang,' the same one my master owns."

"Commander Sun?"

Chen Sanshi asked, "Isn't he a marksman?"

"He also practiced swordsmanship. As far as I remember, before breaking through to the Martial Saint realm, he practiced all sorts of random martial arts techniques."

Wang Zhi stroked his chin: "This 'Diancang Sword' is the ultimate technique of the Cangshan Sect, one of the eight major sects in the world more than a hundred years ago. Later, the Cangshan Sect was destroyed for treason, and the technique fell into the hands of the imperial court. Even Master practices it, so it must be very good, but it must also be difficult to learn. Aren't you worried that it will affect your spear practice?"

"Compared to this..."

Chen Sanshi voiced his confusion: "I'm more curious about what benefits one can gain from mastering multiple weapons?"

One of the major functions of this technique is to enable the physical body to break through its limits.

But what benefits can a new weapon bring as one's physical body improves with the advancement of one's cultivation level?

The physical body will definitely not see any significant improvement.

Otherwise, it would have been common knowledge long ago.

"Before reaching the Transformation Realm, practicing one more weapon technique will make your Qi and blood more robust. After reaching the Transformation Realm, it will deepen your foundation of strength. There are no other benefits besides that."

While changing the dressing on his wound, Wang Zhi patiently explained, "Therefore, it is usually those who have no hope of breaking through to a higher realm who collect all kinds of cultivation techniques to practice in order to improve their combat power. After all, in the end, people of the same realm often compete on who has the better true qi and blood."
