A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 29 A Ruthless Kill! (Please add to your favorites and recommend!)
"In a northern village lived a girl from the south. She always liked to stand by the roadside wearing a floral dress..."

After a day of practicing stance training, Li Weizhou lay on a rattan chair in the courtyard, humming a tune and resting with his eyes closed.

But he was too excited to take a nap, and even with his eyes closed, he couldn't hide the secret joy in his eyes darting around.

That's a huge profit!
The stance training given by Fatty Qi from Yuanjian Mountain has two major drawbacks. One is that it hurts, but I won't go into details about that; you can get past it by exploiting a bug.

However, the consumption of resources is terrifying, and it is directly proportional to the length of time one can persist in standing meditation.

In other words, the longer you can maintain the standing meditation posture, the more precious medicine you will consume.

Of course, as Qi Zhenkun said, the longer you persist and the longer you maintain your peak condition, the greater the benefits.

But what ordinary martial artist has such a family fortune?
Even if a prestigious family could afford such a sum of money, it would be difficult for them to endure such intense pain.

Originally, Li Weizhou was also finding this kind of consumption increasingly unbearable, after all, it would take dozens of days to open just one acupoint with a daily consumption of 800,000...

It's not that he can't keep going, but if things continue like this, he'll spend most of his time running around making money, and he won't be able to have any leisure time at all.

Now it's all right. Although I can't perceive the bloodshot eye that flew into my mind, it must be the one that keeps sending down warm currents.

Those warm currents were like nectar, even more effective than a medicinal bath!

Moreover, it is fully capable of supporting long periods of standing meditation.

Li Weizhou no longer needs to go through the hassle of changing stances and medicinal baths every 15 minutes, half an hour, or an hour each day.

Now it's much better. You only need to practice one stance for one night, and practice the twenty-four stances for twenty-four nights. The effect is better and it's simpler.

Li Weizhou truly felt that this nameless stance training was as if it were tailor-made for him.

A perfect match!

This gave him the hope of rising to the top in one step and becoming an unparalleled master!
Practicing martial arts is tough, but one must always strive...

Well, what a hard job he's had. He can just strike a pose and go back to his villa to read novels and play games. He'll be living the high life!

While they're practicing their skills on the other side of Earth... well, they're doing just as well here.

If he hadn't unwittingly taken Qi Erniang as his older sister, he would definitely have been going to brothels to listen to music every day.

Li Weizhou absolutely loves this world! He learned martial arts while playing all day long!

Unfortunately, Qi Erniang believed that he had a bright future and wanted to marry a woman from a high-ranking family, so she couldn't leave too many traces of him in the brothel.

Whatever...

Everyone has to endure some hardship.

"elder brother!"

Xi Mei returned with a completely new outfit from head to toe. Her once thin face had recently gained weight and become fairer, and with her captivating eyes, she was already showing signs of becoming a beauty.

Sure enough, Li Weizhou seemed to have figured out what it meant to be an older brother, and asked with a smile, "The old family home finally decided to let you come back?"

Xi Mei said shyly, "We agreed on three days, but my aunt insisted on keeping me here, and my second sister-in-law also wanted me to make clothes for her. Later, my eldest sister-in-law probably got scolded by my eldest brother, so she also gave me some things. Li Huan and Li Rui are very naughty; they wouldn't let me leave until I finished all my milk candy. Their wet nurse also said that the two little ones would cry in their sleep at night, wanting to find their aunt..."

Li Weizhou smiled at Ximei, who kept explaining, and said, "It's alright, as long as you're happy. Your uncle and aunt have treated us quite well; after all, we're family. A few years ago, I was a bit out of my mind, and it even made things difficult for you, my sister."

Xi Mei shook her head repeatedly and said, "My brother is the closest person to me. Even in the most difficult times, he would save the best food for me."

Li Weizhou comforted her, "I'm the older brother. Besides, even if you like playing at your uncle's house, it won't change the fact that we are the closest siblings. Little sister, the hardest days are over, and from now on, you'll be happy."

Xi Mei was an optimist. After understanding her brother's meaning, she laughed and said, "I'm not unhappy. I'm happy playing with Xiao Dong, Xiao Xi, and Xiao Bei every day. Don't worry, brother, you've taken good care of me." She emphasized again, "You're the best brother in the world!"

Looking at his sensible younger sister, Li Weizhou felt a warmth in his heart.

In the beginning, he brought her back to treat her better in order to get rid of the shadow left by his predecessor.

Gradually, I came to like this sensible younger sister.

Li Weizhou smiled and pulled out a large handful of milk candies from his sleeve pocket. These candies were specially wrapped in oil paper.

Now, not only was Ximei overjoyed, but even Xiaodong, Xiaoxi, and Hu Nu Xiaobei, who had been quietly standing nearby, jumped up and down with excitement!

It's not that they don't know the rules, it's just that... the milk candy is just too delicious!
After the four girls, around ten years old, ran off as if it were New Year's Day, Li Weizhou felt even better.

Life now is much happier than life in the urban village.

I had planned to continue lying in the courtyard, basking in the sun and getting some rest.

However, since it was almost time for the appointment, he tidied himself up a bit and went out.

Carrying a box of soap, I boarded a carriage and headed to Zuixianglou.

……

Dongshi Street, Zuixianglou.

Ever since Li Weizhou used his father's poetry to help Qi Erniang win the Mid-Autumn Festival night's brothel competition, his status here has been elevated to another level.

I wonder if his father, Li Dewang, would be unhappy if he knew that his adopted son had earned him a bad reputation in brothels...

Strangely, something seemed off about Zuixianglou today.

The head guard, Song Shi, who used to wipe the horses' manes in front of the hitching post every day, was nowhere to be seen at the gate, and the small teapot that should have been there to welcome guests at the stone steps and threshold was also gone.

An old woman who had spoken to him a few times clearly saw him, but acted as if she hadn't seen him at all, and hurriedly left with her head down.

Li Weizhou hesitated, wanting to turn around and leave, but what if nothing happened? It would be awkward to go back and say something. Moreover, according to Li Delong and Li Chang'an, Qi Erniang's background was far from simple…

While pondering, though his steps were slow, he still managed to bypass the large screen at the entrance and go inside.

As soon as he turned around, he heard a scream, and what came into view were two figures that were almost invisible, they must have been fighting...

This is the first time that a truly masterful opponent has fought in front of him.

In an instant, Li Weizhou tensed up, just like when he used to see two burly men fighting in front of him, worried that the battle would engulf him and he would be in trouble.

"Ye Wangchen, your Shangqing Palace is going too far!"

Qi Erniang's angry shout came, and the first thing Li Weizhou saw was the figure that had just screamed and fallen to the ground. It was actually Yuanyuan, half of her body was exposed, and there was a dark purple palm print on her fair chest...

In the blink of an eye, Qi Erniang and her opponent were on opposite sides, but the situation seemed to be not good. Qi Erniang seemed to be at a disadvantage, and her expression was off.

It's truly pathetic that a weakling can't even see the moves of a master sparring.

In an instant, all his previous smugness and self-satisfaction vanished.

While stance training can indeed open the mind and cultivate fundamental skills, without strong martial arts skills, one is merely an empty shell at the mercy of others.

However, there are no shortcuts to mastering martial arts; it requires a mentor, talent, and hard work...

The target of the attack was a young man, who was clearly presentable and good-looking, but for some reason he was so violent. His once handsome face was now filled with a sinister smile.

With that kind of expression, you don't even need makeup to play a villain; you can tell at a glance that he's a bad guy.

Ye Wangchen? What a ridiculous name...

Oh, I just discovered that Song Shi had already fainted behind the door...

Li Weizhou stepped back, taking the opportunity of visiting Song Shi...

He first bent down to check on Song Shi, and finding that he was still breathing, he left him alone for the time being.

At this moment, Li Weizhou was getting too close to the large screen. If he retreated a little further, he might be able to escape, as long as no one caught up with him...

It's not that he's cowardly or afraid of trouble; at this time, it's wise of him not to be a bad teammate and drag others down.

Ye Wangchen stood there, coldly watching this uninvited ant.

His eyes held only indifference and condescending mockery.

It seemed to be marveling at the wonder of fate and destiny, how it had changed the life of an ant so completely...

Before he could even speak, the other disciples of Shangqing Palace who had come with him shouted sternly, "Where did these treacherous members of the demonic sect come from? Kneel down and beg for forgiveness at once!"

Li Weizhou: "..."

This hat is...

Qi Erniang also shouted sternly, "Who let you in? You, a mere teapot, dare to enter the main hall? Get out of here!"

Li Weizhou immediately accepted the order: "I admit my guilt."

After saying that, he turned and left.

However, others are not fools. Ye Wangchen glanced at Qi Erniang with amusement before suddenly lunging at Li Weizhou.

"stop!"

Qi Erniang cried out in shock and anger, and followed closely behind. However, Ye Wangchen seemed to feel even more pleased, and accelerated out of thin air, as if he was determined to kill Li Weizhou!

Li Weizhou shouted, "Leave me alone!!" He pulled his hand back into his sleeve, and a large revolver suddenly appeared.

When life and death are at stake, who the hell cares about leaks!

Qi Erniang ignored him and gritted her teeth to speed up again. But to her horror, Ye Wangchen suddenly turned around and struck out with a palm like a counterattack. Qi Erniang couldn't dodge in time and could only scramble to avoid his vitals, but she was still hit in the shoulder. With a crack, Qi Erniang groaned in pain and flew backward to the ground.

"Hahahaha!"

Ye Wangchen laughed wildly, his face full of mockery, "How could the Eastern Palace not fail with a piece of trash like you? The ruthless and vicious Zhu Yeqing, with her heart of a woman, actually turned out to be such an idiot. Fine, I'll send you on your way today. Anyway, it's all the fault of my good-for-nothing brother..."

Judging from his words, he intended to kill him.

As for Li Weizhou behind him, he had long regarded him as a dead man.

Yet this very dead man suddenly raised his right hand, which, concealed by the slightly wide sleeves of his robe, slowly lifted it, aimed at the arrogant disciple of the Eight Sects less than ten meters in front of him, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation:
BANG!

Ye Wangchen's body trembled, somewhat confused and puzzled as to what had happened...

BANG!

BANG! BANG! BANG! !
Li Weizhou stood there expressionless, repeatedly pulling the trigger, emptying all five bullets of his large revolver.

He then shook his hand to extinguish the fire on his sleeve.

Although he was selfish, he couldn't bear to watch a woman who risked her own safety to save him face a life-or-death situation.

Just moments ago, Ye Wangchen was all arrogant and domineering, but now he couldn't even turn around to take one last look at who had killed him. He could only look down at the several large holes in his body with a face full of horror and despair, and finally, he collapsed to the ground with a thud...

P.S.: If you're looking for something to read, you can check out my previous book, *The Fiery Era*. I was feeling a bit down while writing tonight, suffering from new book anxiety, so I just randomly flipped through some old books and ended up reading for over two hours. Those who haven't read it can take a look, and even those who have can. What I wrote actually cracked me up. It's really well-written! (winking)
