Turbid World: Martial Arts Master of the Republic of China Era, I Cultivate Immortality!

On the way home, when I'm going to get scolded or beaten,

Inside the carriage, on the road.

"If a supernatural power that is nearly three hundred years old can be so powerful, could there be other supernatural powers left behind in the fragments of Luo Siyao's diary...?"

Sitting in the carriage, Zhao Zheng fell into thought, feeling that the possibility was quite high, and was about to take out a silver dollar to have his fortune told.

Suddenly, he looked out the car window at the sparsely populated street and saw a man pull out a gun and pull the trigger.

bang——

A gunshot rang out!

The bullet pierced precisely through the open window of the Western-style carriage. Just as the man was secretly delighted, thinking he had the kill in the bag...

He then saw the monk Zhao, who was supposed to be shot, slowly turn his head in the carriage, a hint of doubt in his eyes, with a shiny bullet tip between his teeth.

The man's pupils constricted in shock. Just as he looked terrified and instinctively tried to retreat, the crowd suddenly jostled.

Then, they suddenly dispersed, and in the blink of an eye, the already sparsely populated alley became completely quiet.

Just like Abbot Li yesterday, the man knelt on the ground with a knife in his abdomen, staring blankly at the knife for several seconds.

He looked up and saw Abbot Zhao, who had somehow appeared before him and was looking down at him. He sneered, "Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you!"

Zhao Zheng didn't speak immediately, but looked at the unfamiliar man in front of him with suspicion and asked, "Do we have a grudge against each other?"

"No...we have no enmity between us at all; quite the opposite, you've done us a great favor, a favor greater than the heavens!"

The man, pale-faced, uttered a seemingly contradictory statement, prompting Zhao Zheng to ask with a bewildered look in his eyes.

"You did me such a great favor, yet you still tried to assassinate me?"

Zhao Zheng was puzzled. There was no enmity, no grudge, and even a favor owed to him. He couldn't understand why the other party would try to assassinate him. Surely the other party couldn't be a lunatic!

"Because of you...you killed the remnants of the Great Chen dynasty. Now, all the remnants of the Great Chen dynasty see you as a thorn in their side, but...they dare not lay a hand on you. If something happens to you, we will have a reason to take action against the remnants of the Great Chen dynasty..."

"???"

Is this your reason for repaying kindness with enmity?

Zhao Zheng laughed. He suddenly realized that it was true that people laugh when they are extremely speechless, because he, Zhao Zheng, was so speechless that he laughed.

"Master Zhao is a man of great principle. We urge you to bravely face death, for your sacrifice could save millions..."

"..."

Shouldn't you think carefully about what you said?

Zhao Zheng remained silent for a few seconds. He frowned as he looked at the man in front of him who didn't seem to realize there was anything wrong with what he was saying. He didn't ask the man's name, but simply said, "I suddenly thought of a sentence."

"What did you say?"

"Do good people deserve to have guns pointed at them?"

"Shouldn't be..."

bang——

A gunshot rang out, and the man fell to the ground with a thud before he could finish speaking. Zhao Zheng put away his pistol, turned around without looking at the man who had sworn brotherhood with Kennedy, and walked into the carriageway.

"Come out and clean the floor!"

After Zhao Zheng's carriage left, a group of well-trained men began to drag away the man's body and wash the ground.

Zhao Zheng had no interest in knowing who was behind the man; he only knew one thing: whoever wanted to kill him, he would kill.

He never considered himself a good person; his kindness was merely based on making himself happy within his means.

Just like when he opened a free soup kitchen to help refugees, it wasn't out of simple kindness; he just wanted the world he saw to be the way he wanted it to be.

Ultimately, he's just a selfish person!

A person who tries to change the people around them and themselves because of their own preferences; a somewhat contradictory person.

"You really think I, Abbot Zhao, am easy to bully just because I'm kind-hearted? You come one by one, I'll kill you; you come in pairs, I'll kill you one by one..."

Zhao Zheng didn't continue speaking; he simply frowned slightly as he looked at his own somewhat unkind thoughts.

"It's all the world's fault. How could someone as good as me be assimilated like this, how could I be forced into this state..."

Zhao Zheng sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "Why force me like this?" With that, he cut off his distracting thoughts and began to continue to experience the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light that was being nurtured in his five internal organs.

Through his in-depth research, he discovered that his Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light was not actually brought about by Luo Siyao's Transformation Divine Power; the other party had merely accelerated his growth rate.

In other words, even without the transformative power of the Rosicine, his Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light would automatically be generated when the progress bar of his Innate Yin-Yang Dao Body Holy Embryo reaches 10%.

However, I still have to thank Luo Siyao, after all, he accelerated his growth and turned him from a genius into a super genius.

And she even contributed a martial arts technique to him!

The only slight regret is that this technique is incomplete, which makes Zhao Zheng, who has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, feel very awkward.

"Perhaps I can try to complete it..."

Zhao Zheng activated the Five Qi Supreme Scripture within his body and looked at Er Gou, who was driving the carriage ahead. With the combined blessing of this technique and his innate insight, he was able to see the two dogs ahead.

He saw that Er Gou's torso, which corresponded to the five internal organs, began to show five colors: green, yellow, red, black, and white.

These are the five energies within Er Gou's body, representing the five internal organs. However, the five energies within Er Gou's body are different from the five energies within him that circulate through the five elements, almost achieving a state of completeness and perfection.

The five elements within Er Gou's body showed an imbalance, especially the white element representing the lungs, which was noticeably weaker than the other four colors.

Hearing Er Gou's occasional coughs, Zhao Zheng understood and looked through the car window at the pedestrians on the street.

Looking at the five elements within the bodies of pedestrians on the street, Zhao Zheng pondered for a while, trying to figure out what ailments these people had. He stroked his chin.

"Perhaps I, the abbot of Zhao's Temple, could open a clinic, and then stroll along the lake whenever I have free time, the kind of stroll without an umbrella..."

After thinking for a few seconds about the story of Master Zhao's chance encounter with the White Snake and the Green Snake, Zhao Zheng put aside his distracting thoughts and began to try to complete the Five Qi Supreme Scripture.

Soon, he stopped trying because he found that completing a technique was more difficult than he had imagined, at least more difficult than modifying one.

"That's strange. It was so easy for me to cultivate the incomplete Five Qi Supreme Scripture, so why is it so troublesome to complete it... Hmm? Speaking of which, why did I cultivate it so easily?..."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Zheng quickly found the reason why he was able to cultivate the incomplete version of the Five Qi Supreme Classic so easily.

Firstly, it was due to the transformative power left behind by Luo Siyao, and secondly, it was because the Yuan Emperor spoke of the True Text of the Primordial Chaos Qi.

Yes, because the Yuan Emperor said that the True Text of the Primordial Chaos Qi brought about various temporary perfections, although his subjective consciousness could not remember them, his subconscious mind remembered them.

Or rather, his body instinctively remembered it, thus creating a special state in him where the more techniques he practiced, the easier it was to practice other techniques.

"Perhaps we could study this in more depth..."

Zhao Zheng pondered silently. After a while, with Er Gou's announcement that they had arrived, he got off the carriage and entered the Zhao family home, greeted by the maids.

There's not much else to say. After a scene of family affection, where Zhao Zheng was scolded by his mother because of the Ren family's matter, the mother and son started having lunch together.

After lunch, Zhao Zheng was scolded by his mother again. Seeing that he was about to be beaten, he took his leave and left his mother's courtyard without looking back.

"If you're so capable, then don't ever come back to this house again..."

Zhao's mother's angry voice came from the backyard, but Zhao Zheng, whose hearing had been poor since childhood, didn't hear anything and hurried away.

When women say hurtful things, it's best to just pretend you didn't hear them. This applies to women of any age.

Remember this, it will be on the test!

Zhao Zheng did not leave the Zhao family immediately. Instead, he went back to his own courtyard, retrieved some items, and then left.

On his way out of the Zhao family, he saw his good-for-nothing younger brother, Zhao Cheng. Zhao Zheng didn't care that the other brother hadn't greeted him, his older brother, at 12:45 noon. He just smiled and said...

"Come here, little brother, let me teach you a couple of tricks!"

Thud! Thud! Thud—

After a few punches, Zhao Zheng left the Zhao family with a smile, leaving Zhao Cheng, who was being helped up by his henchmen, clenching his fists in a fit of rage and shouting.

"You just wait..."

Thud! Thud! Thud—

After delivering a few more punches, Zhao Zheng watched as Zhao Cheng burst into tears, then turned and left, satisfied.

Just as he reached the gate and was about to step onto the carriage, he paused, looked up at the sky that had been sparsely clouded a moment ago, but was now covered by dark clouds in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Zheng frowned as the sky darkened and large raindrops began to fall: "This rain seems a bit off..."
