In the world of martial arts, grind your skill level to become a saint.

"As expected of a martial arts prodigy, a once-in-a-century talent in Yanshan City, his aura is truly extraordinary!"

Su Hao's gaze fell on Zhang Xuantong, who was leading the team forward, and he nodded silently in his heart.

This kind of imposing presence is something even Master Liu cannot match.

Even from a distance, he could still feel the other party's powerful, fiery aura.

This is just how the other person is in their normal state.

One can imagine what level the opponent could reach if they unleashed their full power.

"I had heard of this person years ago, but he has always devoted himself to his cultivation and rarely appears in public."

Zhou Zhengtang, who was standing to the side, also looked amazed.

This was also the first time he had seen Zhang Xuantong in person.

As expected, a person with a great reputation is not without merit; such demeanor is truly extraordinary!

As the line below began to move further away, the surrounding crowd started discussing again, and the place became lively.

The topics of discussion were all related to Zhang Xuantong from before.

Su Hao and Zhou Zhengtang chatted for a few more minutes, and at that moment the waiter brought up a plate of meat.

Su Hao looked at the slightly reddish pieces of meat on the plate, feeling a bit curious.

This must be the meat of the strange beast called Red-Scaled Deer that Zhou Zhengtang mentioned before.

Red-scaled deer are rare, and since they only live deep in the mountains and forests, they are extremely difficult to encounter.

Although rare, its flesh is highly beneficial to those who cultivate.

Its main function is to enhance the qi and blood, muscles and bones of martial artists.

"The meat of the exotic beasts in this restaurant is quite good, and its effects are remarkable. It's a rare find in Yanshan City! It's just a pity that you need to make a reservation in advance to get it, otherwise it's very difficult to get a taste."

As Zhou Zhengtang spoke, he gestured for Su Hao to start eating.

Su Hao didn't stand on ceremony. After nodding slightly, he began to savor the red-scaled deer meat.

After taking just one bite, Su Hao felt a burning sensation in his stomach.

It felt as comfortable as if I were soaking in warm water.

He was slightly surprised as well.

This effect is even stronger than that of the blood-activating powder.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a mythical beast.

"How was it? Feeling pretty good, huh?"

Zhou Zhengtang put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile.

"Yes! It's really good!" Su Hao nodded.

"This kind of exotic beast meat is very hard to find in the entire Yanshan City. The reason why Jin Yu Ge sells it is because it is related to the Martial Master Alliance."

Zhou Zhengtang continued, "Throughout the Martial Arts Alliance, there are specialized teams that hunt and kill exotic beasts. These people are all carefully selected veteran hunters with rich hunting experience, which is why they can supply the demand for exotic beast meat for the entire inner city."

"I see…"

Su Hao also understood.

For a grand restaurant like Jin Yu Ge, the amount of exotic beast meat needed every day is unknown. The reason it can be supplied continuously is because it has the Martial Arts Alliance as its backer.

However, this is not something that just anyone can reserve and purchase. Even someone of Zhou Zhengtang's status can only reserve such a small amount of exotic beast meat.

The two talked and ate, and soon the whole plate of exotic beast meat was devoured by them.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Zhou Zhengtang took Su Hao away from the inner city and returned to Nanshan Town.

His main purpose tonight was to see Zhang Xuantong, the once-in-a-century genius of Yanshan City.

Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, there's no need to stay in the inner city any longer.

Seeing that he had no other plans, Su Hao bid farewell to Zhou Zhengtang and prepared to go to Nanshan Town to buy the things he needed for practicing the Crimson Blood Palm.

After spending more than ten taels of silver, Su Hao purchased the medicinal sand and accompanying medicines needed for cultivating the Crimson Blood Palm. He then left Nanshan Town and returned home to prepare to try cultivating the Crimson Blood Palm.

He had just returned to Hongqiao Town when he passed by Fuquan Restaurant.

Then they saw Liu Jun and a group of people.

However, Liu Jun's complexion was not as good as before. After exchanging a few words with the young men from the inner city, they got into their carriages and left.

Su Hao didn't want to pay attention to these things, but at this moment Liu Jun's eyes were looking in his direction.

"Junior Brother Su, why are you still out so late?"

Liu Jun was also somewhat surprised when she saw Su Hao.

Although she rarely went to the boys' academy, she was still recognized by all the disciples in the entire Yueshan Boxing Academy who had broken through to the Stone Skin stage.

"Yes! Senior Sister Liu, I just happened to be here to buy some items needed for cultivation."

Su Hao nodded, then picked up the cloth bag in his hand and said.

After he finished speaking, he bid farewell to Liu Jun and was about to leave when Liu Jun suddenly called out to him.

"Junior Brother Su, you didn't hear anything just now, did you?"

At this moment, Liu Jun stared intently at Su Hao, his eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny.

Perhaps it was because of what happened tonight, and the words her father had told her yesterday.

She also began to have some doubts.

A few days ago, her father had a dispute with her because she was getting too close to the disciples of the Inner City Martial Arts Alliance.

He had finally managed to persuade his father to try to get closer to the Inner City Martial Arts Alliance, but now his attitude had changed drastically, and he was determined not to allow her to associate with these people anymore.

This also made her feel a surge of anger.

As Liu Chongshan's daughter, she was naturally very clear about the changing situation in Yanshan City.

So when she saw that her father was reluctant to take sides, she became anxious and tried every means to befriend the disciples of the major forces in the Inner City Martial Arts Alliance.

Just when it seemed that this path was about to be completed, her father abruptly cut it off, his attitude resolute.

This made her wonder if someone was whispering in her father's ear, causing all her previous efforts to be in vain.

"Hmm? I wonder what Senior Sister Liu means by that?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hao's heart stirred, but he still asked calmly.

He immediately thought of the contents of the letter he had previously written to Teacher Liu.

The letter contained all the information the sender had heard that night.

I never expected to run into Senior Sister Liu in person today, and judging from her reaction, it seems that the letter I wrote earlier has had an effect.

"No..." Liu Jun shook her head, seeing that Su Hao seemed unaware of the situation.

It seems I was being too sensitive, and my father has always disapproved of me getting too close to the people of the Inner City Martial Arts Alliance.

It seems that my father must have received some news as well.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Seeing that the other party did not say anything more, Su Hao nodded and then turned and left Hongqiao Town.

Liu Jun watched Su Hao's departing figure, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowing. After pondering for a moment, she didn't linger any longer, boarded the carriage waiting at the door, and left the market.

The journey was uneventful, and Su Hao returned to his residence.

After glancing at the entrance and the walls, he found that the traps and mechanisms he had set up had not been triggered, and then he took out the key to unlock the gate.

Since the last incident, he has set up many hidden traps in his residence.

The purpose was to prevent anyone from sneaking in.
