Jie teaches the Immortal Sweeping Heaven’s Cultivation of All Heavens

Nothing unpleasant happened at the banquet, and it ended uneventfully.

Because the owner of the manor was present, none of the men who coveted Shen Bijun and Feng Siniang's beauty took any action.

After all, the maids in the manor were all beautiful, and they served them very comfortably at the banquet.

After the banquet ended, each of them took a maid and went back to their room.

The manor owner smiled and asked Lian Chengbi and Xiao Shiyilang, who had not allowed any maids to approach them, "Don't you two like these women? Would you like to have a different batch?"

Lian Chengbi said calmly, "No need, I am not interested in women."

Xiao Shiyilang also said, "Compared to beautiful women, I prefer fine wine."

Young Master Tian: "Doll Manor may not have much else, but it has plenty of fine wine. Young Master Xiao can drink as much as he wants."

Lian Chengbi: "It seems there is a dedicated wine cellar in the manor?"

Young Master Tian smiled and said, "Yes, indeed. Would you two like to go and take a look?"

Lian Chengbi: "If it's not too much trouble."

Young Master Tian: "No trouble at all."

He summoned a maid to lead the way for Lian Chengbi and Xiao Shiyilang.

The two arrived at the wine cellar, which was dug three feet underground. It was quite spacious and had no other mechanisms.

Xiao Shiyilang looked at Lian Chengbi.

Lian Chengbi shook his head.

The two returned to Lian Chengbi's room and continued studying the 3D map he had drawn.

Unbeknownst to them, Liu Dong is also currently at the Puppet Manor.

He came in on his own to play around, mingling with a group of "guests".

Even the Heavenly Prince was unaware that there was such a person.

With Lian Chengbi and Xiao Shiyilang working together, the secret of the manor was quickly uncovered.

The two found a way out of the Doll Manor and first sent Feng Si Niang and Shen Bi Jun and the other three out.

Upon seeing the passageway, everyone else in the villa rushed out.

Only Xiao Shiyilang, Lian Chengbi, and the owner of the manor remained in the manor.

"I truly underestimated you."

Xiao Shiyilang scoffed: "No longer pretending?"

The Heavenly Prince, also known as the Carefree Marquis, sneered: "You two already knew my identity, didn't you?"

Xiao Shiyilang: "You didn't try to hide anything that was so easy to spot."

The carefree Marquis scoffed, "But none of the others noticed."

Lian Chengbi: "That's because they're stupid."

Xiaoyao Hou: "Indeed. There are so many fools in this martial world."

He looked at the two of them: "You're both stupid too."

Xiao Shiyilang raised an eyebrow: "How are we stupid?"

The Carefree Marquis: "You shouldn't have exposed my identity. If you hadn't, I might have let you go and leave alive. But now, you can only stay in Puppet Manor forever."

Xiao Shiyilang and Lian Chengbi both laughed when they heard this.

Lian Chengbi: "How arrogant!"

Xiao Shiyilang: "Haha, this is the biggest joke I've heard all year."

Marquis Xiaoyao: "You don't believe in my strength? My martial arts have reached the pinnacle; killing you would be a piece of cake."

Xiao Shiyilang: "Transcendent Realm? Have you reached the Innate Realm?"

Xiaoyao Hou: "Innate?"

Xiao Shiyilang: "You don't even understand the levels of martial arts, so how can you think you've reached the peak?"

Lian Chengbi commented indifferently, "He's nothing but a frog in a well."

The carefree Marquis roared in fury: "You are the ones who are frogs in a well!"

Xiao Shiyilang: "You're not a frog in a well, so tell me what 'innate' means?"

Xiaoyao Hou: "..."

Xiaoyao Hou: "You know?"

Xiao Shiyilang: "Martial arts are divided into acquired and innate. Everyone in the martial arts world is acquired. At the peak of acquired martial arts, you will encounter a barrier. Breaking through that barrier will lead you to a new realm, the innate realm..." Xiao Shiyilang explained the martial arts realms that Liu Dong had told them.

The more Xiaoyao Hou listened, the brighter his eyes became.

After he mastered martial arts to its peak, he lost all motivation.

He founded the Heavenly Sect and built the Doll Manor simply because he was bored.

Now that someone has shown him the way, he no longer cares about the Heavenly Sect or the Puppet Manor.

The Carefree Marquis left, and Xiao Shiyilang and Lian Chengbi did not stop him.

Both of them wanted to see if Xiaoyao Hou could take that step and enter the Innate Realm.

Xiao Shiyilang stretched and said, "I thought there was going to be a big battle."

He hadn't had a satisfying match in a long time.

There's no way around it; his martial arts skills are too high, and he has no equal in the martial arts world.

Although Xiaoyao Hou had not reached the Innate Realm, he was indeed very skilled and could exchange over a hundred blows with Xiao Shiyi Lang.

Unfortunately, his barrage of words extinguished the fighting spirit of the Carefree Marquis.

Lian Chengbi chuckled lightly: "If you want a big battle, you can have one."

Xiao Shiyilang looked at Lian Chengbi with shining eyes.

Lian Chengbi drew the soft sword from his waist.

Xiao Shiyilang was overjoyed and drew his deer-slaying knife.

Liu Dong sat on a big tree, holding a plate in her hand, which contained several roasted pork hocks.

He ate his pork hock while watching the battle below.

Yes, both of them have improved their strength, and both can advance to the level of Grandmaster before the age of forty.

As for whether the two of them can ultimately shatter the void with their martial arts, Liu Tong cannot say for sure.

The two below have already finished their fight.

Evenly matched.

The two people lay resting in the ruins, their faces full of satisfied smiles.

Once they had regained their strength, the two got up and left the Doll Manor together.

Liu jumped down from the tree and wandered around in the ruins.

There are quite a few valuable items in the Doll Manor, although most of them are damaged, some are still intact.

Picking them up and selling them could bring in a lot of money.

Even without the vast estate of Wugou Mountain Villa, Liu Dong would find a way to make money.

The Doll Manor contains many antiques, but most of the vases, porcelain, and paintings are damaged, while some bronze items and jewelry are still intact.

Liu packed all these things up and carried two packages, each as tall as a person, into the pawnshop in the city.

Fortunately, the pawnshop had powerful backers and money, enabling them to absorb so many treasures.

Liu Tong exchanged these items for 100,000 taels of silver.

He used half of it to buy the lowest grade of grain and hired a security escort agency to deliver it to Shanxi.

A drought struck the area, and although the imperial court provided relief, many people still went hungry.

Although the amount of grain that Liu Tong bought was not much, it could alleviate the disaster to some extent.

Wugou Manor had already transported grain there.

When Lian Chengbi returned to the manor, he looked through the account books and found that after donating grain, the manor didn't have much money left.

It seems I need to find another way to make money.

Lian Chengbi opened a hidden compartment in the study and took out a box.

Inside the box were things that Lian Chengbi considered extremely valuable.

He took a piece of paper out of it.

The paper was covered with writing, the largest words being: glass manufacturing process.

Lian Chengbi had his men find some skilled ceramic workers and led them to begin experimenting with glassmaking.

Xiao Shiyilang came to find Lian Chengbi and found him "playing in the mud".

Xiao Shiyi Lang: ? ? (End of Chapter)
