Looking at Shi’er, he gives some advice.

“Don’t worry, 1 will definitely practice hard and won’t let you down.”

Shi’er nods solemnly.

Lifting his hand, he passes a small package to Meng Chong.

“I’ll be back in half a year, or a year.”

Meng Chong tucks the package into his chest, rises into the sky, and vanishes over the horizon.

He doesn’t immediately head to the Inner Domain, instead he heads to the imperial city of Wu Country.

After the fight, he was nearly killed. He decides to confront the Emperor of Wu and figure out how Senior Wu appeared in the first place.

If the Emperor of Wu was behind it all, then Meng Chong would not hold back, even if it meant ignoring the favor of the Emperor of Wu avenging him.

After the incident with Senior Wu, the imperial city of Wu Country gradually returned to normal.

The courtiers did their duties, took care of state affairs, the younger generations carried on with their search for masters, or travelled to Qi Country for an exchange with liked-minded fellows.

To see if they could obtain a method of training in Martial Arts.

Only the Emperor of Wu, he always had a lingering worry.

Since the fight, Meng Chong had not come to settle the account and seemed to have disappeared.

This made him very uneasy, as it indicated that Meng Chong was severely injured and was recuperating from his injuries. Once he recovered, he was bound to clear things up.

What the Emperor of Wu feared the most was that Meng Chong would not let him explain, and would beat him up on the spot.

“Emperor of Wu!”

The Emperor of Wu, who was in his study reviewing papers, suddenly trembled with fear, dropping his pen.

Meng Chong was here!

After not seeing him for a while, the Emperor of Wu found Meng Chong seemed to have grown more robust, his shiny bald head seemed brighter and his overall demeanor more aggressive.

“Meng Chong, listen to my explanation, he was not sent by me!”

The Emperor of Wu hurriedly pleaded with a desperate look on his face.

“Tell me, what happened?”

Meng Chong didn’t show any courtesy and sat right on the Emperor of Wu’s chair.

But the Emperor of Wu stood terrified beside him.

“This is what happened…”

The Emperor of Wu didn’t dare hide anything and honestly told Meng Chong the complete story of how Senior Wu came into the scene.

“I had someone send you a message saying there was a Martial Arts expert, didn’t you receive it?”

The Emperor of Wu put on a wronged face.

“Alright, since this has nothing to do with you, I won’t hold you accountable!”

Meng Chong rises from his seat.

“Thank you, thank you!”

The Emperor of Wu lets out a sigh of relief.

As Meng Chong was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, “By the way, my master is about to spread his martial arts at the border lands. If you want the martial arts methods, you can send someone to visit the Xu Family in Donghe prefecture!”

Since it has been decided to spread martial arts in the borderlands, Wu Country would naturally not be excluded. Just that now, people like Emperor Qi are secretly cultivating to build up enough strength before slowly spreading it out.

Since this was the case, then Wu Country should also have martial arts techniques.

Emperor Wu was instantly delighted, “Thank you, thank you!”

Meng Chong turns and leaves.

Emperor Wu was extremely excited, and began to secretly plan a trip out of the palace to visit Donghe prefecture in Qi Country to personally seek the Martial Arts methods.

The mysterious voice in the stone house seemed to have lost its senses and was unable to acquire the methods.

Now that Emperor Wu has a new way to acquire the methods, he wouldn’t just wait around anymore.

After leaving the imperial city of Wu Country, Meng Chong headed straight into the endless mountains, tracing the places where Senior Wu had appeared, and exploring along the way.

But in the end, he found nothing.

Inside a small courtyard in Yunshan County.

Li Xuan sat in a chair, sighing with emotion. His second disciple had also set off on his journey, leaving only the third disciple by his side.

“Red Cat, have you memorized the acupoints?”

He used a bamboo cane to point at the acupoints on Red Cat’s body and asked with a grin.

Bored, he teased the big cat.

Roar!

Red Cat let out a deep cry, seemingly telling Li Xuan that it had memorized the acupoints.

“If you want to awaken your acupoints, I think, you should start with this one. If you awaken this acupoint, your intelligence might improve, and you might become smarter.”

Li Xuan laughed jovially and used the bamboo cane to gently prod at Red Cat’s head.

“Roar!”

Red Cat let out a cry, looking as if it was deep in thought.

“My Lord, it’s a beast. It surely can’t grasp the concepts, can it?”

Shi’er couldn’t resist speaking.

If the Red Cat managed to understand the beast magic, he would begin to doubt his existence. Was his talent inferior to a beast?

“Well, that’s not necessarily true. After all, it’s a fierce beast. Its intellect is far superior to that of ordinary livestock. Moreover, the fact that Red Cat was caught by me may be the result of chance.”

Li Xuan said with a chuckle.

Shi’er appeared to be in deep thought.

“Red Cat, could you really have understood the beast magic? If so, wouldn’t it become very powerful, and surpass me?”

When he thought this far, Shi’er began to panic.

When Red Cat was first brought back, he had whipped the beast in order to tame it. If Red Cat became powerful, would it retaliate?

“I have to teach Red Cat, while it’s still unaware, that when I whipped it earlier, it was for its own good. It is because of this that it was able to understand beast magic.”

“Red Cat has to understand gratitude. If it weren’t for my whip, this day of understanding beast magic wouldn’t have come.”

As Shi’er thought this through, he was determined.

From this day forward, Shi’er reminded Red Cat three times a day about the past, telling it that the whipping was for its own good, hoping it would feel grateful.

Seeing Shi’er’s actions, Li Xuan felt strange. This fellow’s mind has become quite clever.

To make Red Cat believe him, Shi’er even prepared a large gold chain to put around Red Cat’s neck, claiming that the chain cost a lot of money.

Red Cat seemed quite excited, appearing to like the gold chain.

Li Xuan looked towards the direction of the Inner Domain, Meng Chong must have entered by now.

“When Xu Yan entered the Inner Domain, he killed a grandmaster. It shouldn’t be the same with Meng Chong, would it? Given his hulking figure, regular martial artists wouldn’t provoke him.”

“Moreover, one doesn’t encounter a grandmaster martial artist just anytime.”

Li Xuan wished for a while, regretting that if Meng Chong could blow up a grandmaster martial artist with a single punch, killing several grandmasters, wouldn’t this feedback to his own martial arts technique?

“I shouldn’t be too greedy. Regardless of what I heard from both Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan, or Su Lingxiu, grandmasters in the Inner Domain are rare nobody can meet them just because they want to.”

Li Xuan was beset with doubts as he took out the ancient book and started studying its contents.

Meanwhile, he continued to ponder about the cultivation technique beyond “Tongxuan”.

Nothing had changed in Tieshan County.

The majority of the comings and goings at the Tianbao Pavilion were martial artists of Tieshan County. Most walked in reluctantly and came out wincing.

Apart from the martial artists, there were also some commoners who occasionally came in to buy cultivation techniques.

The hostess at the entrance of the Tianbao Pavilion noticed a robust and bald young man. He had a curious look on his face, glancing everywhere with visible excitement and curiosity.

The hostess instantly knew that this was a young man who had just started exploring the world. Not too far away from Tieshan County was the Tiandang Mountain, and perhaps he was a young man who had left his mountain village for the first time to see the city.

“Young master, please come inside!”

The hostess gestured him to enter with a smile.

“Alright, alright!”

Meng Chong was overjoyed. This was the Tianbao Pavilion!

There were many spiritual medicines inside, and they even sold treasures like storage pouches.

The first thing Meng Chong wanted to do after arriving in the Inner Domain was to visit the Tianbao Pavilion for the experience.

“Senior Brother should have already left Tieshan County, right? Has he gone to Lanping Prefecture City?”

Meng Chong thought to himself.

He had decided that his next destination would be Lanping Prefecture City.

The same girl who had received Xu Yan approached with a smile, “Young master, this way please.”

Although Meng Chong was tall and muscular with a shiny bald head, which attracted attention, he was not ugly, and looked like a young boy of 16 or 17 years old.

“Young master, please take a look. This is our first floor item catalogue of the Tianbao Pavilion.”

The girl skillfully handed the catalogue to Meng Chong.

“Thank you!”

Meng Chong eagerly flipped through it page by page, and felt awed in his heart. The Tianbao Pavilion did not disappoint, the first floor alone had so many spiritual medicines for sale.

There were also treasures, martial arts techniques, prepared potions, and pills, etc.

“Young master, is there anything that catches your eye?”

The girl asked with a smile.

Meng Chong smiled, touched his head, and asked, “Do you have storage pouches? 1 want to take a look!”

He held the same thoughts as Xu Yan. Even if he couldn’t buy, he could at least take a look, right?

The girl’s smile froze. For some reason, she thought back to the young man who had asked about storage pouches some time ago. She looked at Meng Chong with suspicion, wondering if these two boys came from the same village..
