Chapter 58: Opening in Succession, Yue Wu Acts

Qin Residence.

After bathing, Qin Feng went to the dining hall, where the food had already been prepared.

He sat down and ate slowly, while sorting through the events of the night.

As for Yan Hongye? He had already left, taking the Great Roc King's feathers with him. That was a treasure, after all, the great demon had refined those feathers for years, making them extraordinarily divine and priceless.

That could be exchanged for many pills.

"Sun Qian was replaced, most likely by a soul taking residence and then merging. The foreign evil spirit descended—was it to wreak havoc on the world? Perhaps it was to elevate through blood feasting, yet after all these years no major incident has arisen. Therefore, the likelihood of it being for the Nine Yang Cauldron is even greater."

"Nine Yang Cauldron…"

He lifted his head, glanced around, and continued eating.

Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong attended on either side.

Qin Bo and others waited outside.

Yue Wu sat in the front courtyard.

At this moment, Zhang Fu entered, stepped close and whispered, "Patriarch, the guard post has been surrounded."

"No need to pay attention; it has nothing to do with us!" Qin Feng said.

Since Sun Qian, the Iron Master, is an evil spirit, the Black Dragon Guard in the post cannot escape; even the innocent must be cleared out.

The Sun family cannot escape either.

This is Yan Hongye's handiwork.

Before leaving, he also said that a large contingent of Black Dragon Guard had been dispatched to garrison Wan'an City.

The next day.

In the courtyard.

"Patriarch." Zhang Fu said respectfully, "All members of the Sun family have also been captured."

He paused, then added, "We have already taken over all of the Xiang family's assets and are still sorting them; there are some setbacks, but the problem is not serious, and those few families have not caused trouble. Now within the city, apart from the City Lord's mansion, the Qin family stands alone as the dominant power. Since the Sun family has collapsed, should we also take over their business?"

"Taking it over will cause no trouble at all!" Qin Feng considered, "I need a large sum of silver lately; once we get it, we can sell any shady business that can be sold."

"Good! As for the Bai family of Baiyun City, shall I send men to eliminate them?" Zhang Fu asked, "In Baiyun City, the Bai family dominates and holds enormous wealth."

"The Bai family must indeed be eliminated!" Qin Feng looked at Yue Wu, "You go together with Fu Ye Ye and wipe out the Bai family."

"Fine!" Yue Wu rejoiced, "Master, since you need a large fortune, shall we strip the entire Baiyun City?"

"Follow Fu Ye Ye's orders; if you dare to act recklessly, I'll stew you." Qin Feng gave her a warning glance.

Yue Wu pursed her lips.

"Patriarch, we have another enemy," Zhang Fu hesitated, "The Fan family of the prefectural city should, in principle, be eliminated now to prevent future trouble. But that place is a prefectural city; if it escalates, it may cause other problems."

"Leave the Fan family for later!"

Qin Feng thought briefly and shook his head.

To deal with the Fan family, he must go personally, but a round trip would take several days; that time would be better spent cultivating to strengthen his power.

As for the Fan family's retaliation? He truly didn't care.

As time passed, only he had the right to take revenge on others.

Zhang Fu left, and Yue Wu excitedly followed.

Qin Feng sat cross‑legged and began cultivating the Carefree Heart Method.

"According to Yan Hongye, opening each acupoint must be done with utmost caution; after measuring the acupoint, plan the path for true qi to flow, and the most important is absolute control of true qi to avoid mistakes!"

"But I don't need it!"

"Then try opening all remaining acupoints, and then plan to use pills to increase the amount of true qi!"

He acted on the thought.

Qin Feng used the power of his mental realm to measure the second acupoint, then mobilized true qi to begin cultivation.

The second acupoint was successfully opened.

The feedback of self‑creation power was noticeably reduced, yet it still delivered a thorough cleansing of sinews and marrow, permeating inside and out.

The third.

The fourth.

Qin Feng was excited and made no mistakes.

The ninth. Bang…

When the true qi fluctuated slightly, the acupoint was destroyed; Qin Feng vaguely felt many internal nodes change, as if some things had closed.

"When one acupoint is destroyed, the rest will close and can never be opened again!"

Qin Feng suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

He began measuring the tenth acupoint, found it, but it had already solidified, like a stubborn stone that could not be broken no matter the impact.

But at that moment, the previously destroyed acupoint restored to its original state.

An extremely subtle fluctuation resonated within his body again; without his supernal perception, it would be hard to detect.

Upon rechecking the tenth acupoint, it could now be opened.

"The human body possesses great creation and endless marvels!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim.

He also paused; continuously opening acupoints and advancing his cultivation made his control over power much weaker.

Nevertheless, he kept circulating the method, absorbing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth, refining it into true qi to fill the gaps while adapting to the newly opened acupoints.

By afternoon, Qin Feng continued opening acupoints.

As more acupoints were opened, his interior grew increasingly empty.

His dantian was too large.

The apertures are also quite large.

In comparison, the true qi is too little.

After a day, the sky cleared.

It became much colder.

As noon approached, Yue Wu returned.

"Master, did you miss me?" She lunged straight over, but Qin Feng grabbed her head and pushed her aside.

Xiao Qing and Xiao Hong glared angrily.

"How did the handling go?"

"Kill but don't bury—I brought back all the good stuff. Hmph, several gangs in Baiyun City had their eyes blinded by greed and actually dared to attack us, so I killed them all."

"Just bringing back the good stuff is enough!" Qin Feng looked up into the distance and said, "Our side has too few top experts—do you have a way?"

"Yes!" Yue Wu's eyes lit up, then she narrowed them, speaking coquettishly, "Master, can it be like yours?"

"Same treatment as yours—are you willing?" Qin Feng said with a hint of a smile.

"Whether I'm willing or not is up to you to decide!"

"I just love your obedient nature! How many days until you're back?"

"At most four or five days!"

"Alright, then go handle it! Remember, don't be too wicked!"

"Master, I understand! But, but, I've just come back, my legs are exhausted—look, I can't even walk." Yue Wu said, then sat onto Qin Feng's thigh.

She then wrapped her arms around his neck.

Qin Feng burst forth with true qi, pushing her aside.

"Master, we've already shared a blanket, you've hugged and touched me—I'm about to leave on a journey; can't you give me a loving hug?"

Yue Wu showed a look of grievance.

Qin Feng looked at the other party, his gaze growing increasingly hostile.

"Yay yay, Master, I'm not tired—I'll go, I'll go; in just a few days I'll bring back some warm blankets for you, guaranteeing you'll like them!" Yue Wu said, then sped away.

She saw Yan Hongye, looked her up and down, flashed a strange smile, and slipped away.

"She is..."

Yan Hongye frowned.

She sensed a threat, but after carefully examining herself and finding nothing amiss, she walked toward Qin Feng.
