Chapter 90

"Master, Xu Shixiong Brothers, you must have a long-term vision! You think the resources in my hands are considerable, that's because your cultivation is still low now.

And sitting and eating the mountain empty, no matter how many resources there are, sooner or later they will be exhausted, so you must have a foothold and have a steady stream of income," Xia Daoming said earnestly.

As soon as Xia Daoming said this, Yuchi Xiao and Jiao Yongbao didn't come back to their senses for a while, but Zhuo Xingji and Liang Jingtang heard some overtones, and their hearts couldn't help but be greatly shaken.

"Daoming, you don't want to take advantage of both sides suffering and replace them, do you? This is too dangerous, Master disagrees!" Liang Jingtang said with an extremely grave expression.

"That's right, Daoming, the Three-Clan Alliance and the Xu Clan have deep foundations and many martial masters. Although your strength is very powerful and killing an Eighth-Rank Great Wu Shi is easy, you are ultimately alone and weak. Taking advantage of their mutual suffering to get some benefits is fine, but wanting to replace them is too dangerous.

And the vast Li Cheng cannot be suppressed by one person alone. The Xu Clan has dominated Li Cheng for over a hundred years, not only having a Grandmaster sitting in command but also having a powerful family and affiliated forces.

Even so, after so many years, the Xu Clan is still constrained by the Three-Clan Alliance everywhere, and even has to be vigilant against the Three-Clan Alliance joining forces to replace them. So even if the two families really suffer, you are alone and weak, and you cannot replace them," Zhuo Xingji said with a grave expression.

"I am not alone and weak, aren't there you and the Ji Clan?" Xia Daoming said.

"Let's forget about us. Master is the most powerful, but he is not enough for one punch from you! As for us, it goes without saying," Zhuo Xingji said.

"Cough, cough, Xu Shixiong, you can just use yourself as an example, leave some face for Master," Xia Daoming reminded.

"Alright, what face or not, these are not important. Your Xu Shixiong Zhuo is right. With just a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals from our Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall, wanting to help you replace the Xu Clan and the Three-Clan Alliance and rule Li Cheng is simply unrealistic.

As for the Ji Clan, they are definitely much stronger than our Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall. But the Ji Clan has suffered heavy losses this time, and besides Old Master Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen who can barely be pulled out to suppress the scene, others are not good," Liang Jingtang said.

"Hehe, what if I tell Master that now the Ji Clan's old master is already an Eighth-Rank Great Wu Shi, and there will be many Seventh-Rank and Sixth-Rank Great Martial Masters under him, and Master and Xu Shixiong Brothers' strength will also advance by leaps and bounds in the short term?" Xia Daoming asked.

"How is this possible?" Liang Jingtang blurted out.

However, although he said it was impossible, his heartbeat began to accelerate.

This disciple of his is a perverted guy!

Not only is his strength scary, but he can even get food like spirit rice that immortal cultivators eat.

Since he said so, maybe it's really possible.

"Junior Xu Shixiong, don't tease us, we can't stand such a big stimulation!" Zhuo Xingji's blood rushed to his head, and his mouth was dry.

"I already said, I am the most honest and upright, how could I talk nonsense to tease you!" Xia Daoming said with a straight face.

As he spoke, he took out a box.

The heartbeats of the four Liang Jingtang people suddenly accelerated, and their gazes subconsciously fell on the box.

"This is the Fengming Pill, refined with top-grade Fengyao Grass as the main medicine. Master and the three Senior Brothers have been drinking Yunsou Jade Liquid and eating spirit rice these days, and your vitality and meridians have been greatly nourished, and your internal energy has been condensed day by day.

With the solid foundation of Master and the three Xu Shixiong Brothers now, if you take another Fengming Pill, as long as your luck is not too bad, you should be able to break through a rank," Xia Daoming opened the box and smiled.

"The top-grade Fengyao Grass was given by you, right? Otherwise, with such powerful pills to help, even if the Ji Clan couldn't compare to the Xu Clan, they would have been able to keep pace with the three major forces like the Ding Clan, Lin Clan, and Eight-Blade Sect long ago," Liang Jingtang swallowed his saliva hard, trying his best to calm himself down.

"Master is truly brilliant!" Xia Daoming casually flattered him.

Liang Jingtang was speechless!

What kind of brilliance is this!

The days that followed.

The situation in Li Cheng remained chaotic.

There were killings and deaths every day.

However, Liang Jingtang and his four disciples huddled in the old house in Wutong Lane, and their little lives were very comfortable.

With the help of the Fengming Pill and eating spirit rice every day, Liang Jingtang, Yuchi Xiao, Zhuo Xingji, and Jiao Yongbao broke through very smoothly.

Not only that, after breaking through, their blood and qi power were still constantly climbing and condensing.

Especially Jiao Yongbao, who was originally a martial arts genius delayed by the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall, now that he has taken off again, he is simply soaring into the sky.

From Fourth-Rank, he broke through to Fifth-Rank, and soon reached the peak of Fifth-Rank, with Sixth-Rank just around the corner.

Xia Daoming's meridian strengthening progress was also very fast.

But it was not because of eating spirit rice every day.

The role of spirit rice is mainly to nourish vitality and meridians, and condense qi power. He strengthened his meridians nine times in every realm, his vitality is vigorous, his meridians are powerful, and his qi power is also much more condensed than martial masters of the same level.

So the effect of eating spirit rice on improving his martial arts cultivation is very limited.

However, eating a little spirit rice every day, Xia Daoming could faintly feel some subtle changes in his body.

That kind of change is unclear and indescribable, it seems to be some kind of internal aura and temperament change, anyway, it is very subtle.

And the taste of spirit rice porridge is indeed good.

Since that's the case, Xia Daoming naturally couldn't treat himself badly.

He still had to eat some spirit rice porridge every day.

What greatly accelerated Xia Daoming's meridian strengthening progress was the Fengming Pill and the meat of the Golden-Scaled Blood-Eyed Snake.

The meat of most demonic beasts contains extremely violent energy.

For martial artists, it is not only not nourishing but is actually poison.

However, a very small number of demonic beasts are exceptions, and their meat has a great nourishing effect on martial artists.

The Golden-Scaled Blood-Eyed Snake that Xia Daoming killed in the valley of Gengyun Mountain was one of them.

Eating spirit rice porridge every day, brushing the meat of the Golden-Scaled Blood-Eyed Snake, and taking a Fengming Pill at night, Xia Daoming's meridian strengthening progress was gratifying.

This day, early morning.

Xia Daoming rode his horse alone, in a pleasant mood, and went out of the South City Gate.

Now, the Ding Clan trusts the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall very much.

Generally, when one or two people go out of the city, the Ding Clan disciples guarding the city gate let them pass.

After Xia Daoming "escaped back" to Li Cheng, he went out of the city two days later to take out the snake meat and some spirit rice hidden outside the city.

And this time, it was according to the plan discussed long ago, to meet up with the Ji Clan's people.

Xia Daoming rode his horse all the way to a mountain village fifty miles outside the city that had long been empty.

"I have seen Master Xia, the Old Master is waiting for you in the back village." A Ji Clan disciple flashed out of a dilapidated house at the entrance of the village, cupped his hands and saluted Xia Daoming, his eyes full of awe.

The Old Master actually came personally!

A look of surprise flashed in Xia Daoming's eyes, but on the surface, he just nodded calmly and said, "Good!"

After speaking, Xia Daoming drove his horse into the village.

Soon he arrived at a house in the back village that was still relatively well-preserved.

Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen had already received the message and was standing at the door of the house in high spirits waiting for him.

"Old Master, why did you come personally?" Xia Daoming dismounted and handed the reins to a Ji Clan servant.

"Let's talk inside." Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen smiled.

The two soon entered the house.

"This is the Fengming Pill recently refined by Wenyue. This box is five hundred years old, this box is four hundred years old, this box is three hundred years old, this box is two hundred years old, and there are some hundred-year-old ones, I didn't bring them." As soon as he sat down, Elder Ji Yuanzhen Yuanzhen handed over four boxes.

PS: There will be another update at noon today.
