Chapter 133: Strictly prohibit internal friction, one move to meet

After taking a look at the silver boxes filled with silver bars in the yard, Geng Xuan followed the old rules and asked Luo Qing to arrange people to move them onto the ten carriages.

Each carriage was loaded with exactly one hundred thousand taels of silver.

There were only 972,500 taels in the market, and the remaining 27,500 taels were taken from the warehouse to make up the total of one million taels.

After everything was arranged, Geng Xuan drove the ten carriages connected end to end into the study alone and disappeared at the entrance of the underground tunnel.

More than two hours later, Geng Xuan returned with only ten Xuanyou horses.

Up to this point, Geng Xuan had transported a total of 4.7 million taels of silver in five batches.

If possible, Geng Xuan didn't want to go through so much trouble, but he was indeed worried about leaving such a large sum of cash in the Wei family.

In fact, before transporting the silver for the first time, Geng Xuan had thought about remelting these standard ten-liang silver bars into larger silver ingots.

That not only saves space but also increases safety.

One million taels of silver sounds like a lot, but the bars, each weighing ten taels, are stacked one by one in a standard-sized silver box. The boxes stacked together take up a large area and look spectacular.

But Geng Xuan once did a calculation out of boredom. If these one million taels of silver were melted into a cube, it would only be 168 centimeters long, wide and high.

If it is melted into a ball, its radius will be a little more than one meter and four centimeters.

It is said that many local rich people like to melt small silver bars into big balls and put them there so that people can see and touch them, but they cannot move them and can only sigh helplessly.

However, Geng Xuan only thought about this idea briefly and gave it up.

He had no intention of staying in Wanfufang forever, and now it was a pleasure to melt the silver into a large ingot.

But when he wants to move or spend the money, it becomes a problem for him.

Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Not long after returning, Luo Qing came to report.

Geng Xuan was very surprised when he took the first book handed to him by Luo Qing.

"Hey, I didn't spend any money this time, but I actually made a profit?"

Although the amount earned was not much and could not be compared with the pills and medicines refined by Geng Xuan, it still surprised Geng Xuan.

Luo Qing explained:
"Originally, based on the manpower, resources, and equipment that have been mobilized from various parties over the past two days, I estimate that we will have to spend nearly 1,500 taels.

However, since Master Wei and his men have promised that we are not responsible for these expenses, we can save some money.

Therefore, during this period, our only expenses are the daily purchase of food and the cost of using the house, which together cost about 40 taels per day.

In these ten days, the total amount was nearly four hundred taels.

However, in addition to the total of 41,590 kilograms of medicinal wine we distilled this time, we also had more than 116,400 kilograms of distiller's grains, which are all excellent feed.

Except for the Xuanyou horses which are a bit too picky about food, even the local horses can be fed by mixing distiller's grains into bean feed in a certain proportion.

After some negotiation, it was finally sold at the price of four cents per pound.

...This product is actually a bit too cheap. If it were sold at Kangleji, it could be sold at a better price.

However, they are the only buyer here, so we can only suffer a loss.

In the end, the lees were sold for a total of 465 taels, 808 wen.

Not only did it completely cover our expenses for the past few days, but we also had 66 taels, 570 wen left over.”

Geng Xuan smiled and nodded, "Not bad, not bad."

If Luo Qing hadn't mentioned it, he wouldn't have even remembered such a thing.

After reporting these scattered small accounts, Luo Qing took another book and sorted out the entire situation.

"We have traded with Wei Wanzong and others seven times. The first four times were on a smaller scale and the categories were very simple, all of which were blood-tonifying pills.

In the next three times, the transaction scale reached about one million taels each time, and the categories were also very diverse.

The total transaction amount is 4,720,000 taels and 7,500 taels."

While listening to Luo Qing's story, Geng Xuan was thinking in his mind.

According to the tacit understanding he finally reached with Wei Wanzong and others, the various pills and medicines Geng Xuan sold to them were priced at about 70% of the market price, and this 30% was their profit margin.

Until the fifth transaction, in order to get the money back as soon as possible, they did not take all of the 30% profit, but gave some of it away.

What they actually eat should be about 27%.

However, due to the changes in Santongji and Qingyuanji last time, the 850,000 taels of medicine in hand were not only sold quickly, but also at a higher price.

In addition to this wave of medicinal liquor worth nearly one million taels, affected by the overall environment, the profit will be more than expected.

The profits given up in the first five times for quick repayment will most likely be fully compensated by the last two favorable factors, and perhaps even more.

By this calculation, starting from the middle of last month, the nearly one month of hard work has allowed Bajiafang to earn a huge profit of more than two million taels.

"Sigh~~"

I don't know, I was taken aback.

After having a rough idea of how much Bajiafang had eaten, Geng Xuan couldn't help but suck his teeth.

Geng Xuan was thinking in his mind while Luo Qing continued his report.

“…Of the 4,727,500 taels, you transferred 4,700,000 taels and deposited 27,500 taels.

Add to that the cash seized from Baiyuanji and his entourage, the cash confiscated from Zhong Yuanba's mansion, and the 4,593 taels and 640 coins that you deposited into the treasury after your last return, minus all the expenses incurred in these days.

There are currently 961,310,490 coins in the treasury."

"In addition, there are 292 kilograms of high-quality medicinal wine that you put into the warehouse after your last return. Adding the 420 kilograms left over from this time, the total is 712 kilograms.

The remaining amount of ordinary medicinal liquor from this transaction is a total of 1,170 kilograms."

"Fifty-eight new weapons, nineteen new skills, and more than ten more have been further improved. These are all changes after you put the weapons and skills into the warehouse after your last return."

"The number of blood-replenishing pills is now 5,355."

"The rest of the reserves, including Essence Pills, Anshen Pills, Xuanyou Pills, as well as Hemostatic Powder, Detoxification Pills, and Insect Repellent Powder, are all consistent with the statistics at the end of last month."

Geng Xuan nodded slightly.

The last time he returned from Changpingfang, he not only put all his weapons, most of his skills, and cash into the warehouse.

The next day, Geng Xuan put all the high-quality medicinal liquors into the warehouse.

Originally, he wanted to continue drinking the medicinal wine to ensure his daily practice needs.

But Geng Xuan soon realized that in order to ensure that his daily body tempering achievements grew at the highest efficiency, the amount of energy he consumed was actually a bit scary.

No matter how high the quality of the medicinal wine is, it is nothing but a drop in the bucket in the face of his needs.

It is more reasonable to use blood-replenishing pills.

Now, just to meet his daily training needs, he consumes as many as fifteen or sixteen blood-replenishing pills.

If there is a body-tempering technique, or other techniques that put a burden on the body and consume its energy, and the level of the technique is improved, additional blood-replenishing pills will be consumed.

Each time, he withdrew dozens or even hundreds of them.

This is also the reason why the blood-replenishing pills in stock are much less than the last time the statistics were counted.

Although the stock of more than 5,000 pills is a lot, if he uses them as freely as he does, they will not last too long.

Geng Xuan still has the forty pills he withdrew last time. He has decided to replace them all with Essence Pills once this batch of blood-replenishing pills is used up.

After reporting the current inventory statistics, Luo Qing talked about another thing.

"Boss, some of the gang members had some cash on them before they went underground. Add to that the monthly allowance for two consecutive months, and they all have some cash in their hands now.

In this situation, they have nowhere to spend money, so they want to directly buy some inventory resources for cultivation. What do you think?" Luo Qing asked.

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "That's great."

If they spend their own money to buy resources for cultivation, not only will they benefit personally, but the Giant Bear Gang will also benefit from it. There is no reason not to support it.

“But how should the price be determined?
For example, for these blood-replenishing pills, is it based on the current market price, or the price we negotiated with Wei Wanzong and the others?" Luo Qing asked.

Geng Xuan was stunned, but he remembered the experience of following Chen Rongshan to the warehouse of the recreation center as a blue-robed guard.

Thinking of this, Geng Xuan came up with an idea.

"Let's set it according to the price before the price increase, ten taels per piece.

However, you must make it clear to them that the cultivation resources purchased from the warehouse in such a cheap way can only be used for their own cultivation, and it is strictly forbidden to resell them to others to make a profit.

As for how to supervise and implement it, you can discuss it with Wang Yu, Ding Yong and others in detail."

"Yes."

Luo Qing nodded, thought for a moment, and suggested, "I think we should limit the quantity of purchases. We can't just let him buy as much as he wants with the money he pays. There has to be a limit."

Geng Xuan nodded and said, "That makes sense. As for how to restrict it specifically, you can discuss it with Wang Xuan and the others.

My suggestion is to make a comprehensive assessment based on factors such as his cultivation strength, number of contribution chapters, and his mid-level rank."

Luo Qing nodded and said:
"Yes... I still have a question. You said it can only be used by myself, so can it be used by my wife, children, parents, and brothers?

Not to mention the distant future, if Hong Quan, Cheng Hui and the others can buy more blood-enriching pills, they will definitely share them with their families."

"Hmm...I guess it's OK."

Geng Xuan replied, thinking that if even this was banned, it would be a bit too unreasonable.

"What about other close relationships, such as close friends?"

"Uh……"

“You said that reselling to make a profit is strictly prohibited, so what about giving it to others as a gift?

...To be honest, the benefits that can be gained through this method are greater and more covert, and there is no way to monitor them at all."

"..."

Geng Xuan was completely speechless. Finally, he could only say:
"So, we need to tighten the restrictions on purchase quantities.

As for the rest, you guys can handle it yourself."

"Yes."

Luo Qing responded and made another suggestion.

“In terms of the medicinal power contained in it, one pound of ordinary medicinal wine can be equivalent to about two blood-replenishing pills, but generally the price of one blood-replenishing pill is equivalent to one pound of ordinary medicinal wine.

Compared with medicinal liquor, the biggest advantage of blood-replenishing pills is that they are lightweight and easy to carry. If you take action, the logistical pressure will be much smaller.

Medicinal wine is only suitable for practicing at home or when staying in a certain place for a long time.

In our case, it is very inconvenient to keep too much medicinal wine.

I think we can let our gang members exchange the blood-replenishing pills in their hands for medicinal wine of equivalent value for cultivation.

They must be willing.

Encourage them to use silver to buy medicinal wine instead of blood-replenishing pills and essence pills.

We can also reduce a lot of logistical pressure... If we continue to stay in Wanfufang, we can directly use medicinal wine as the monthly allowance."

After hearing this, Geng Xuan immediately clapped his hands and said, "Great, this is a good suggestion. We can implement this method until all the medicinal wine in stock is used up."

……

After Luo Qing said goodbye and left, Geng Xuan no longer thought about the Giant Bear Gang's affairs.

He remembered what Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others had told him about what happened in Santongji and Qingyuanji.

This incident was a follow-up reaction to Anleji's acquisition of Baiyuanji.

As you can imagine, the changes will not stop there.

He had long learned from Wei Wanzong and others that as soon as the news of Anleji's annexation of Baiyuanji was learned, Master Fan informed the other masters of Kangleji.

While speeding up the increase in the number of gyms in the Kang Le Refining Marrow Realm, we should also be prepared for the upcoming major changes.

Now, a month has passed, and everything is happening rapidly.

If the situation continues to change like this, how will it develop in the next month?

Logically speaking, Geng Xuan now has sufficient resources and more than 1,500 points of luck. He can continue to stay in Wanfufang regardless of any wind and rain outside.

After all, his strength grows with every passing day.

Time is completely on his side.

However, seeing that the surrounding situation was rapidly evolving towards the worst direction, Geng Xuan felt that he was really uneasy.

Take a very simple example.

At this time, if there was news that Anleji and Baiyuanji, centered on the Wu family, were to start a bloody battle against Santongji and Qingyuanji, who had formed a formal marriage alliance.

The most elite forces of both sides fought in the wilderness between Baiyuanji and Qingyuanji, leaving a river of blood and both sides suffered heavy losses.

How would Geng Xuan feel after hearing this news?
Gloating?
Do not!
He will be very sad!
It turned out that when his cultivation and strength were insufficient, Geng Xuan didn't think too much.

What he saw and thought was limited to what was in front of him.

However, as his cultivation level broke through to the Marrow Refining Realm, especially recently he had risen to another level and reached the middle stage of the Marrow Refining Realm.

Relying on his advantages in other aspects, he was confident that he could deal with the situation in the late stage of the Marrow Refining Realm.

Geng Xuan's mentality gradually changed.

His vision naturally spread to all the surrounding markets.

Is the market strong?

Of course it is very strong.

For most practitioners, this is something they can only look up to.

But if Geng Xuan looks at it from today's perspective, he can confidently say "that's just how it is."

In the early stage of Marrow Refining Realm, one can be the chief hall master, and in the middle stage of Marrow Refining Realm, one can become the chief hall master. This is almost the standard configuration of all markets.

No one forced this rule, it is just a simple truth: "Dragons cannot be raised in shallow waters."

One mountain cannot support more tigers.

If the tiger grows to the point where all the prey on this mountain can no longer satisfy its appetite, it will have no choice but to move to larger forests and compete with more powerful predators.

Can I continue to stay on the original hill?
Of course you can, as long as you can resist the temptation to become stronger, as long as you have a big appetite but can be satisfied with eating only 60% full at every meal, then you can stay.

But it is obvious that the birth of each of these "anti-life instinct" wonders is a miracle of life and is not so easy to encounter.

The strength of different markets depends more on the differences in their geographical location and the abilities of their operators.

And the differences in their actual combat abilities when they are both in the early or middle stage of marrow refining, etc.

When Geng Xuan suddenly realized that his strength had unknowingly reached the top of the seventeen markets around Chiwu Mountain.

His mentality changed unconsciously.

These seventeen markets seemed to have become his private land, his own hunting ground.

Those people with red names on their heads are all his leeks.

It's the normal law of the jungle. Every day, there are red-named people killing people and there are also red-named people being killed. He can accept it.

Just think of it as a kind of "metabolism" necessary for the unique ecological operation of this hunting ground to maintain its vitality.

But if two groups of red names fight on a large scale, they will annihilate and consume each other.

Then he felt a little uncomfortable.

It's like watching the deposit in your account decrease inexplicably.

"How could you die in such large numbers without my help?!"

When Geng Xuan thought of this possibility, he could no longer sit still.

After listening to Wei Wanzong, Fan Hongsheng and others talk about the changes outside, Geng Xuan had this thought in his mind.

Now, when he was in a quiet environment and carefully felt his heart, he became more and more certain of this!
"I can't just sit here in Wanfufang like an idiot any longer."

“You have to go out and take a look.”

But how to get out?

Geng Xuan was troubled by a new problem again.

You can't just rush out alone with a sword and start killing, right?
He is not yet so bloodthirsty.

What's more, doing so is indeed too inefficient.

If this caused panic in the surrounding markets, and then invited experts from outside to fight against him, wouldn't that be completely contrary to his purpose?

He is not afraid of masters. If he can win, he will fight. If he can't win, he will run away.

But his original intention was to harvest as many "red-name leeks" as possible, which should belong to him and only to him!

After thinking about it, Geng Xuan gradually came up with an idea.

"I'll go find them, which is of course troublesome."

"You can turn it around and let them come to me!"

Gradually, Geng Xuan had a vague outline in his mind.

He felt as if he had turned into a cluster of flames, attracting moths from all directions to fly towards him continuously.

The constant stream of moths grew in number and size.

At this moment, a giant bird with its wings spread out, casting a shadow covering the sky, suddenly descended from the sky and swooped down towards the small flame.

In such a fantasy, Geng Xuan shuddered and regained consciousness.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room for a few times. Finally, as if he remembered something, he took out a copy of "The Earthly Chapter" from under his pillow and flipped through the pages quickly.

Soon, a piece of medium-sized origami appeared in Geng Xuan's eyes.

Geng Xuan reached out and took it out, unfolding the origami.

This is a deposit receipt.

Proof that there are three thousand taels of cash in the Kangleji Pawnshop, which can be withdrawn with the receipt.

Geng Xuan looked at the paper deposit slip, flicked it lightly with his hand, folded it again, and put it in his arms.

He took a long sword and put it on his waist, then walked towards the study room next door.

Just as he was about to go out, Geng Xuan suddenly stopped, turned around and put the three books of Nine Ranks Secret Art, "Earth Walking Chapter", "Running Dog Chapter" and "Medicine Stone Chapter" into his arms, then entered the study room next door and entered the underground tunnel through the entrance.

Soon, Geng Xuan came out of the underground tunnel of Wanfufang and entered the more complex underground network under Kangleji.

After entering the underground network, Geng Xuan first searched for three places and buried the three books of Nine Streams Secret Techniques.

For Geng Xuan, this huge underground network is a natural, huge safe.

It has become his habit to keep valuables in a safe.

After doing all this, Geng Xuan began to move quickly underground.

His goal was very clear. If his movement trajectory could be shown on the ground, it would be clear that he was approaching the recreation center quickly. His purpose for this trip was also very simple.

Just to verify your own abilities.

After all, his current level is all based on his own judgment, not practice.

This is likely to deviate from the actual situation.

In such a situation, it would be too arrogant and reckless to act according to one's ideas without verifying one's own abilities.

Geng Xuan was rushing through the tunnel towards the recreation center. He stopped some distance away from the underground black market and turned into another nearby tunnel.

Soon, he saw a staircase at the end of the tunnel.

Walking up the steps, Geng Xuan stretched out his hand to open the stone door in front of him, but suddenly he was stunned.

It was because the stone door in front of him was completely stuck on both sides and could not be opened at all.

"Has the entrance to this passage been blocked?"

Thinking this in his mind, Geng Xuan stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the stone door.

The force of "Wanjun Jin" was transformed by the Yinfeng Huagu Palm and quickly turned into a sinister force that spread throughout the entire door panel.

The next moment, the huge stone door in front of him silently turned into stone powder and fell to the ground.

The stone gate shattered, and the things in front came into Geng Xuan's sight, which made him stunned again.

Ahead is an obstacle made of rocks and soil.

But the person who did this seemed to have cut corners and was careless, and many gaps, large and small, let in light from outside.

The large gaps are as thick as fingers, and the small gaps are large enough to insert a long sword.

Geng Xuan blinked and reached out to remove the blockage that had no effect on him at all.

Soon, Geng Xuan knew where he was.

It was actually in the center of a courtyard, inside a huge rockery.

Geng Xuan also discovered that the traces of the sealing opening were still very fresh, and it looked like it had been sealed only in the last few months.

"...Does this mean there's a direct passage into the mansion, which could pose other hidden dangers?"

Geng Xuan thought so in his heart, but he never considered that it was actually his many actions that completely exposed this hidden danger.

Families who have access to underground passages no longer dare to use them as a means of escape, as they can also be a dangerous guide.

Coming out of the rockery, I found that this courtyard was unusually quiet, but there was a lively noise coming from another courtyard separated by a wall.

The warm yellow light spread from the courtyard, making people feel cozy.

Geng Xuan took a quick glance and identified the direction of the recreation center. His figure suddenly turned into a shadow and slowly disappeared.

He himself had silently jumped onto the high wall, and his figure was floating on the roof and the wall.

Soon, Geng Xuan's figure was like an arrow, shooting across a long street and slanting into a mansion next to the recreation center, which was blocked by high walls in the distance.

His body leaped as lightly as a civet cat, landing silently and leaving no trace in the air.

After a while, Geng Xuan stopped outside a door with warm yellow light coming out.

Geng Xuan came to the door and touched his cheek. After confirming that everything was correct, he adjusted his clothes a little, then raised his hand and knocked on the door rhythmically.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

There was a rhythmic, polite, and neither light nor heavy knock on the door, but all that was received was silence.

After a while, a voice came from inside the house: "Who is it again?!"

"..."

Geng Xuan had already recognized that this was the voice of Master Fan.

From the voice, he clearly heard a kind of suppressed anger and irritability.

But what confused Geng Xuan the most was why he had to say the word "again"?

Does Master Fan often receive guests like me?

"I have long heard of Master Fan's great reputation, and I have come to visit him tonight."

Geng Xuan said this casually while staring at the door in front of him, ready to have it smashed to pieces by the angry Master Fan at the next moment.

However, he was not afraid.

Seeking a fight was the original purpose of his trip.

He seemed to be standing there casually, but immense strength was already flowing slowly through his body, like a longbow that had been accumulated to its maximum potential.

The accumulated momentum may be transformed into an explosion at any time.

But at this moment——

"crunch-"

The door in front of me opened.

Master Fan opened the door with one hand and stood at the door.

With his eyes glaring, his face showed no sign of concealing his anger and irritability. He opened the door while spewing out trash talk:
"If you want to come, just come. The door of the recreation center is always open. Why bother playing tricks like this... Is it fun if everyone does this?!"

He kept talking, and his eyes finally focused completely on Geng Xuan's dazed face.

Then, Master Fan was also stunned.

The speaking mouth suddenly paused for a few seconds.

When he spoke again, his voice became a little sharper: "Are you Su Ruiliang?!"

He had seen "Su Ruiliang".

Just at the battle in the martial arts gym, when Geng Xuan had just killed Duan Tianpeng and rushed out of the gate with Peng Shun's broken body, Master Fan and Peng Shun's senior sister Xu Jiao were entangled with each other and approaching quickly.

Then, Geng Xuan successfully entered the underground tunnel before the two of them arrived.

Although the time was short and the distance was far, it was enough for Master Fan to remember the appearance and figure of "Su Ruiliang".

When he recognized the person outside, he subconsciously shouted.

He reached out and grabbed Geng Xuan's shoulder.

Seeing this, Geng Xuan did not dodge or evade, but was overjoyed.

"Well done!"

He thrust out a palm that had been gathering strength for a long time, colliding with the palm of Master Fan that was grabbing his shoulder.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

The next moment, Geng Xuan stood there in a daze.

He stretched out his hand and collided with Master Fan's, not knowing whether he should retract it.

Because very suddenly, the master Fan in front of him disappeared.

Geng Xuan stood there in a daze.

Although everything happened too quickly, Geng Xuan's keen eyesight allowed him to fully capture all the details of the palm strike between the two sides.

In a very short period of time, Master Fan's expression changed from confusion to shock, and then from shock to distortion.

The next moment, his feet were off the ground.

His figure shot out as fast as a cannonball.

At the moment when his body was passively projected, Geng Xuan discovered that Master Fan, whose face was originally distorted, had voluntarily curled up his body into a ball.

It instantly flew across the empty study and slammed heavily into the stone wall opposite.

"boom!!!"

The stone wall made an unusually loud noise.

Originally, with such a fast and powerful "human bomb", it would immediately smash a hole in the stone wall the moment it touched it, and then the remaining momentum would continue to shoot out of the wall.

But at the moment when his "meat bomb" came into contact with the stone wall, the "meat ball" seemed to turn into a "meat patty" all of a sudden.

“Crack, crack, crack—”

In an instant, with his "meat pie" as the center, dense cracks spread on the stone wall like a spider web, quickly spreading to all corners of the stone wall.

"Clang--boom--pop--"

The entire stone wall collapsed into broken pieces. Suddenly losing the support of one wall, the roof quickly tilted and collapsed.

Soon, the study was in a mess, with smoke and dust everywhere.

By "diverting the trouble eastwards", the harm was transferred, and the uncontrollable Master Fan finally stopped his decline and turned from a "cake" into a human being again.

However, when he stopped, the brutal and wave-high strength in his body could not be completely transferred out after all, and turned into a long arrow of blood that spurted out of his mouth.

Master Fan, who was horrified, wanted to flee immediately.

Su Ruiliang's voice came from across the collapsed study: "Don't go, don't go."

There seemed to be some urgency in that voice.

don't go?

Are you waiting to be beaten to death by you?
Before today, he had never seen such a fierce and domineering boxing style.

He nimbly broke through the closed window of the opposite room and reached the window on the other side in two steps.

Just jump out of this window and then jump out of the high wall outside and you will be able to get out.

He was thinking this in his mind, but the next moment.

He stopped his forward momentum.

Just because right in front of the window, like a ghost, the figure of "Su Ruiliang" appeared out of thin air.

Master Fan's eyes widened and his heart beat wildly.

"This...how is this possible..."

He felt like he had really encountered a ghost, and his thoughts were a tangled mess.

However, his body immediately made what he thought was the most correct choice. He stopped and turned back, passing through the broken window and returning to the scene of the collapsed study.

Here, there is still smoke and dust.

He didn't care and rushed forward at full speed.

Just as he came to the still half-open study door again and was about to rush out.

His pounding heart suddenly became stiff and cold, and then fell to the ground with a clang.

Just outside the door, at the place where "Su Ruiliang" first stood, another "Su Ruiliang" stood there.

give up.

Destroy it.

Master Fan didn't even try to control his rapidly rushing forward body, and he slammed right into the "Su Ruiliang" in front of him.

Before making the final all-out collision, Master Fan saw the "Su Ruiliang" in front of him stretch out his hands.

Thinking of the immense power that had just poured into his body, one wave after another, Master Fan closed his eyes.

But in the next moment, Master Fan did not wait for the violent collision to break out.

Instead, it felt like I had bumped into a ball of cotton. I barely felt the impact before my body came to a stop.

"Master, can we try another method?"

A helpless voice came from nearby ears.

Master Fan's eyes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was still in the posture of side-shoulder collision, and was only a palm away from the chest of "Su Ruiliang" in front of him.

In other words, if "Su Ruiliang" had not blocked his shoulders with both hands, he would have been completely leaning in "Su Ruiliang's" arms.

Master Fan stood up calmly.

Just then, a series of footsteps were heard in the distance.

Soon after, several square-faced men in grey robes and three black-robed guards quickly came to the area.

"Grand Master... Ugh!"

"Grand Master...hmm."

"……Um."

The voice arrived before the person did.

When they arrived, they were all speechless.

All eyes were fixed on the two men and the ruins of a study behind them.

Master Fan glanced at the unresponsive "Su Ruiliang" beside him, coughed lightly, and said, "You have nothing to do here, please leave."

A few people bowed slightly and then retreated into the distance.

"You saw nothing and heard nothing tonight."

Just as they were about to leave, Master Fan gave another instruction.

In the open space next to the ruins of the study, only Master Fan and "Su Ruiliang" were left again.

Master Fan looked at the man in front of him and whispered, "You can't be Su Ruiliang. Who are you?"

Geng Xuan was too lazy to answer this question.

He looked down at his palm, then looked at Master Fan in front of him, and asked doubtfully:

"Isn't your performance a bit too exaggerated? You didn't let me win just now, did you?"

In his opinion, he just used the might of the sixteen waves of the Grandmaster Realm's "Wanjun Jin" with his current body without reservation, but without using any tricks or gimmicks.

There is no cleverer, more tactical use.

He didn't even use the sinister palm technique "Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm" to follow up and add to the attack.

In his mind, the most ideal and brutal palm attack should be sixteen waves of force, with "bright waves" and "dark waves" interspersed with each other.

"Minglang" is the upright palm technique combined with the characteristics of Wanjun force.

"Dark Waves" is to completely inject the sinister characteristics of "Yin Feng Hua Gu Palm" into it. Before it damages the skin, bones and blood and causes real harm, you can't feel its existence.

The "bright waves" and "dark waves" are arranged randomly.

People don’t know what kind of damage the next wave of force will cause until they are actually hit.

One wave and one pit.

Moreover, there is no escape, you can only wade through it.

Out of basic courtesy, the main course he had carefully prepared had not yet been served.

Master Fan was so scared by this "greeting gift" that he became a coward.

This is really inconsistent with the Master Fan who has always been so powerful and "unattainable" in Geng Xuan's mind!

Master Fan was also too lazy to answer Geng Xuan's doubts.

He took it as a mockery of himself.

Now, he was sure that the purpose of this "Su Ruiliang" who suddenly appeared here was not to kill him.

This gave him more energy to think.

He stared at "Su Ruiliang" and asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is your purpose in visiting me tonight?"

Geng Xuan was a little dazed after hearing this, and then he remembered that Wei Wanzong seemed to have asked him a similar question a few days ago.

Geng Xuan then decided to continue his frank style.

"I want to see how strong the Grand Master is."

Master Fan's face immediately fell. If faces could change color, his face would probably be as black as the bottom of a pot by now.

He didn't answer, but Geng Xuan didn't mean to skip the topic.

"Master, how does your strength compare to other Masters?"

Master Fan did not answer this question immediately.

Geng Xuan stared at him without urging him, but his eyes gradually became dangerous.

Master Fan had a premonition that if he didn't know what was happening, an iron fist would probably fall on him the next moment.

He finally snorted and said:
“My ability is limited, so I cannot compete with you, but if I compare myself with other great museum owners.

Unless there is someone like you among them... Otherwise, even if they cannot win, they will never lose!"

"Wu Yi is also the grand master of Santongji. How strong is he?" Geng Xuan asked more clearly.

After hearing this, Master Fan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then he chuckled:

“The strength of Anleji has never been due to Wu Yi’s personal strength being able to crush other great masters.

And because they have a lot of money and a lot of people.

Using numbers to defeat the few, using the big to bully the small, and using money to bully people, this is their style."

“Fang Jintang of Santongji has good talent, but his mind is too complicated.

Always want to take shortcuts, win by cleverness or surprise.

Although this brought him a lot, it also made him lack some upright foundation.

When competing against opponents of the same level, he might be able to bluff them with some tricks, but if he were even slightly stronger, they would be able to see through his flaws of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside, with a shallow foundation!"

"On the contrary, Qi Mingcheng of Qingyuan Collection has a solid foundation and is also a bit cunning.

It’s a pity that I’m old now and my prime is over. I can’t fight for a long time.”

Having said this, Master Fan put his hands behind his back and said:
“If I had the chance to fight them alone, I could kill Wu Yi head-on;

Fang Jintang will suffer the consequences of his own actions, bewitched by his own tricks, and eventually become his own noose;
If it was Qi Mingcheng, I could exhaust him to death!"

Geng Xuan looked at Master Fan with surprise as he spoke so arrogantly, not knowing how objective his comments were.

However, it also gave him a better understanding of the group of grand museum owners.

Then, he suddenly realized that in such an environment, he inevitably had over-imagined and expected the strength of the "grand master".

Even if Master Fan belittled his opponent, even if other masters were stronger than him.

It seems, as if, that's the case.
