Cheng Mansion

Cheng Feng is now dead set on developing the Spirit Prescription Alchemy, because he feels that compared to cultivating Immortals and alchemy, other Martial Dao techniques are simply child's play.

As the saying goes, with grain in hand, there is no panic in the heart.

Looking at the discordant Fishing Skill on the Panmian, Cheng Feng added ten points without hesitation, directly raising it to the Master level.

In addition, the rarely used Swift Wind Blade Technique only cost eighty points to max out to the Master level.

Once he possessed sufficient time, Cheng Feng's perfectionist mental illness finally erupted.

On Mu Qi'an's Panmian, apart from the two skills of Archery and Spirit Prescription Alchemy which were still at the introductory stage, all other skills had reached at least the Master level.

In particular, the two medical skills, Needle Yama Art and Ghost Doctor Book, had directly reached the Master level; it could be said that treating illnesses and saving people was effortless.

As for skills like Blade Technique, footwork, Fist Technique, and hard training, they had all reached the Master level, making them handy to use.

Cheng Feng hopes to build himself into an all-around warrior as much as possible, so that there will be no obvious shortcomings.

Ever since he obtained the Spirit Prescription Alchemy, Cheng Feng began a path of crazy cultivation. He shuttled between the women almost every day, constantly absorbing their power.

Even so, he still felt the progress was slow, far from satisfying his needs. Although the beauty of the women was all that Cheng Feng liked, their aptitude did not help much in improving the Panmian.

After all, these women were his people, and Cheng Feng was not in a position to complain too much.

However, the progress of the Panmian was directly related to the height Cheng Feng could reach in the future, so he was always worried.

Thus, Cheng Feng pinned his hopes on those Black Ear members who had been sent out.

"Master, Sect Master Wei requests an audience." A maid walked over gracefully and reported in a low voice.

Cheng Feng couldn't help but reach out and touch the maid's tender, pink cheek, saying with a grin: "Xiao Huan, you are really becoming more and more beautiful! Alright, I know, tell him to come to the study to find me."

Xiao Huan's face flushed slightly, but she did not resist, letting Cheng Feng take liberties. She was secretly happy in her heart, because being able to gain Cheng Feng's favor was also a stroke of luck for her.

Who doesn't know that becoming the Master's woman is like a pheasant flying onto a branch?

The many maids were naturally willing.

Inside the study, Cheng Feng sat at the desk, his eyes deep, as if he could see through people's hearts;

Wei Zhuang stood opposite Cheng Feng, his posture upright, exuding an undeniable majesty from his whole body; that was a temperament carved out by both strength and power.

"Wei Zhuang, what matter makes you in such a rush to see me?" Cheng Feng spoke first.

Back then, it was agreed with Wei Zhuang that the Hong Sect and the Cheng Mansion would be two unrelated forces in the future; as time passed, people would not know about the Cheng Mansion in their daily lives.

This could dilute the influence of the Cheng Mansion, keeping those in the know within the inner circle; the information gap created this way could confuse many people.

But for Wei Zhuang to come directly to the door, this was strange. Had something happened?

Looking at Wei Zhuang's increasingly profound majesty, Cheng Feng felt both admiration and a touch of emotion.

He knew that since Wei Zhuang took over the Hong Sect, he had not only stabilized the situation within the sect but also greatly solidified the Hong Sect's sphere of influence, and had strengthened the training methods for Hong Sect disciples in all aspects; the Sword Hall disciples he taught personally had the highest combat power.

His methods and wisdom were truly admirable. He was truly worthy of being a disciple of the Ghost Valley.

Wei Zhuang cupped his hands and said: "Master... Brother Cheng, a letter has come from Lianshan Prefecture City..."

A concise and clear account allowed Cheng Feng to quickly understand the current situation.

"So, the Su Family is now the opportunity for the Hong Sect to enter Lianshan Prefecture City. If the matter succeeds, we can also establish a connection with the government, is that what you mean?"

Wei Zhuang nodded: "Yes, and the matter of the Su Family is also linked to the Red Lotus Sect rebels. They must be in collusion with officials in the Prefecture City.

As long as we investigate, the other party's leverage will be in our hands. In this way, we won't just have a backer, but a pawn. A pawn on the government side, at that."

Hearing this, Cheng Feng's eyes flickered, and he admired Wei Zhuang's meticulous layout even more. He stood up, paced to the window, and looked at the scenery in the courtyard outside, his thoughts racing.

"Wei Zhuang, you are indeed far-sighted. The matter of the Su Family is not only the key for us to enter Lianshan Prefecture City, but also an excellent opportunity for us to establish contact with the government,

and even to place pawns between the Jianghu and the imperial court. The collusion between the Red Lotus Sect rebels and the government undoubtedly gives us a powerful bargaining chip, allowing us to take the initiative in the game."

He turned around, looking at Wei Zhuang with burning eyes, and continued: "However, this matter must be handled with caution. We must ensure it is foolproof while avoiding alerting the enemy. You should select reliable people to go to Lianshan Prefecture City, be sure to find out the truth, and at the same time, be prepared to deal with various emergencies."

Wei Zhuang cupped his hands and said: "Brother Cheng, rest assured, I have already made arrangements for this. I will personally lead the elite disciples of the Sword Hall to go. They are not only highly skilled in martial arts but also loyal to the Hong Sect, and they will certainly complete the mission."

"I came here to explain the situation to you. The Lin Family in the Prefecture City has Lianzhan Martial Artist; I am not at ease if anyone else goes."

"Also, it is just in case someone finds out and causes trouble for the Hong Sect; the sect also needs someone to look after it."

Cheng Feng nodded in agreement. He knew Wei Zhuang's ability and methods well and knew he would never act without a target, but facing a Lianzhan Martial Artist was no joke.

"How about this: you take a dozen people and leave first, and the remaining Sword Hall disciples will depart the day after tomorrow. Remember to take Cheng Yi with you; he has the last trump card I have here. I don't know if he can beat a Lianzhan Martial Artist, but being prepared is always good."

Wei Zhuang was thoughtful, nodded in agreement, flicked his cloak, and retreated directly.

Cheng Feng was still prepared to ask if Wei Zhuang was confident, but looking at Wei Zhuang's expression, he figured there should be no problem.

The Mechanical Dog and Cheng Feng are soul-bound and unique; Cheng Feng was a bit reluctant to part with it. Cheng Yi also has the same function; as long as he can contact the Mechanical Dog, it will suffice.

Organ Refining Realm.

Cheng Feng pondered. Having swallowed the Blood Bodhi, he is now at the Bone Refining Late Stage, and the nourishment of his bones is about to end. Cheng Feng can feel that he is also close to Bone Refining Perfection.

But with such strength to face a warrior of the Organ Refining Realm, he is afraid he might not be able to handle it!

Since his debut, Cheng Feng has always believed in using the high to suppress the low; this is safe, and the risk is pitifully small.

If Cheng Feng really met that kind of person who is about to explode with power and is gifted, Cheng Feng would accept it. Cheng Feng was originally an ordinary person, and his aptitude was average.

It was all through his own efforts that he achieved today's success; the Panmian only provided a little bit of help.

Now, who outside doesn't say that Cheng Feng is a young hero?

Master Wang Tieshan also said that Cheng Feng is the type of talent who suppresses first and then rises; now he has gained the recognition of everyone around him.

But Cheng Feng would never tell anyone about the Panmian, so he had to accept this talent by default.

And Cheng Feng's low profile made Wang Tieshan even more gratified: knowing how to hide one's light is the mark of a smart person.
