Chapter 256: Wang Shi

As Lu Zh and his woman walked along the passageway, he suddly looked a with his crimson gaze at his woman.

"You guys go to my room. I have something more important to do," Lu Zh said as he was about to leave.

"Something more important than us?" Jiang Xue tugged at Lu Zh with lustful eyes.

Lu Zh's eyes flashed with amusemt as he walked up to her in silce and touched her face, looking at her with his crimson eyes like a devil.

His crimson eyes looked like hellfire that could burn her in minutes.

Jiang Xue closed her eyes in anticipation; however, Lu Zh didn't do anything, much to her disappointmt. She frowned as she oped her eyes, seeing the crimson eyes of Lu Zh, who was deeply looking at her without a single word.

"Yes, something more important than you guys," Lu Zh spoke with an apathetic tone as he coldly turned a, leaving the place, while Jiang Xue fell to the g.

She broke out in a cold sweat that made her clothes stick to her, revealing her perfect physique; however, that wasn't her concern. Instead, Jiang Xue looked at the broad back of Lu Zh with a terrified expression.

At that momt, Jiang Xue felt like she was closer to death than ever, with her demise just a thin line away with just a movemt, as if she was hanging by a rope.

A small blush unconsciously formed on her face, ev with her terrified eyes, as her body told another tale.

Xia Mei shook her head with speechlessness.

"You know he would have really killed you," she spoke, causing everyone to be stunned.

The twelve wom beside them seemed to tremble as their eyes seemed to flash with regret.

Seeing this, Xia Mei smirked. "Now you guys can't back up."

"Mistress, we ar't backing up at all, especially after facing such hardship," one of the girls spoke.

Xia Mei's eyes glinted with amusemt as she looked at the girl who had spok.

"What's your name, girl?"

"My name is Wang Shi." Wang Shi spoke with narrowed eyes.

"Hehehe." Xia Mei laughed as she walked towards the room.

Lu Zh slowly headed down a differt passageway, a smirk playing on his face.

"I am finally going to complete my plan," he thought, his crimson eyes flickering with a strange light.

Finally, he reached a room locked with a metal door, guarded by two unmoving wood puppets. As Lu Zh approached, the puppets' heads moved mechanically, nodding in acknowledgmt.

"Did anything happ while I was gone?"

The puppets oped and closed their mouths as if they were speaking, but no sound came from them.

"There is no problem, young master."

Lu Zh mimicked their mouth movemts and nodded. "Very well th." He tapped them both on their heads.

Boom!

They turned back to their original form of two wood planks.

"These are quite useful," Lu Zh thought with satisfaction. After gaining plant Qi, just using the sheer Qi itself, Lu Zh had be able to accomplish numerous feats that couldn't ev be achieved with combat arts and a normal martial artist might never be able to accomplice.

It was similar to the powers of the mages.

"I guess I know why only first-stage martial artists can advance their Qi now," Lu Zh thought.

Almost all the cultivation techniques actually started with basic elemts like fire, wood, ice, earth, and many more—at least that Lu Zh knew of in the town.

However, once they are advanced to their unique versions, the advanced Qi will be things that a normal martial artist is never capable of doing and can't do, no matter how hard they try.

Lu Zh touched the two human-sized planks, and a blinding gre light flashed as he absorbed them.

His crimson eyes flashed with a gre light.

He oped the huge door, and immediately his vision was filled with a futuristic room that was filled with machinery.

There, some people were working with a serious expression on their faces.

As Lu Zh tered, everyone's gaze was drawn to him, which made their eyes wid as they hurriedly stopped what they were doing and bowed to him.
