Who gave you permission to refine demons like this?

Lin Sheng shared some of the golden fruit honey with He Qianqian as a way of thanking her for giving him dinner and applying medicine.

After all, I have a whole tank of my own, so dividing it up won't make it seem like I'm missing anything.

He Qianqian quickly refused, feeling that it was already bad enough that Lin Sheng had troubled her to fetch the honey, and now she was getting Golden Fruit Honey for free.

"Consider this my deposit for dinner at your place tomorrow. I'll be going up the mountain again tomorrow, so I'll have to trouble you with the food then."

Hearing that Lin Sheng was coming again, He Qianqian perked up and asked him for confirmation, "Really, young master!"

"Are you really coming tomorrow?!"

"Of course, but I'll need to focus on making breakthroughs afterward, so I might not be able to come here as often."

Lin Sheng had a good impression of He Qianqian after spending time with her today.

Aside from not knowing why the other person had such a high level of affection for him, he really couldn't find any problems, so he lowered his guard a bit.

Moreover, who wouldn't like to return home exhausted to find a beautiful woman keeping the lights on and serving hot food for them?

At worst, I'll just pretend I'm handsome!

He Qianqian held Lin Sheng's hand to show her understanding and said, "It's alright. I know that you have exceptional talent, and you should naturally value cultivation."

"As long as you have Qianqian in your heart, I'll be happy."

Hearing He Qianqian's words, Lin Sheng couldn't help but pat her head.

The other person trembled, blushed, and then gently leaned against him.

Having experienced what had just happened, He Qianqian knew her limits and didn't make any further moves.

So Lin Sheng didn't say anything and let her lean on him.

As it grew later, Lin Sheng got up to leave. After repeatedly declining the other party's invitation to share a bed, he said goodbye to He Qianqian and left in the carriage arranged by Cao Xingyi.

He Qianqian waved until the carriage disappeared around the corner before stopping.

She bit her lip lightly and pressed one hand gently against her chest.

"I really hate to part with it..."

"This is how each generation of famous figures from Weixinfang feels when facing their own destiny."

Thinking about her time with Lin Sheng today and the feelings she had, He Qianqian was filled with a myriad of emotions.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Nan, I really can't do it."

"I want to try another possibility..."

.......

The next day, Lin Sheng went up the mountain as usual and ate soup noodles at the soup noodle shop at the entrance of Wuzhi Mountain.

The man wanted to return the money to him, but he refused firmly and went back up the mountain.

Looking at the three remaining locations on the map, Lin Sheng visited them one by one.

One of the places was also a lake, but when we arrived it was already a mess, covered with traces of battle.

After examining the surroundings, Lin Sheng roughly determined that the incident occurred yesterday. Based on the marks left by weapons, he deduced that it was caused by Bai Ming and his group.

This made him even more puzzled about what Bai Ming and the others were up to, as it seemed like they were trying to wipe out Wuzhi Mountain completely.

He cursed the other party's actions, saying that such destruction on Wuzhi Mountain would attract bigger targets sooner or later, and then it wouldn't just implicate Bai Ming alone.

Seeing that he could no longer cultivate here, he went to two other locations, which fortunately remained undamaged.

So Lin Sheng began his cultivation.

They fought against the Thorn Wolf and the Blue-striped Tiger in succession.

Especially during the battle with the Blue-striped Tiger, Lin Sheng carefully observed the opponent's movements and imitated its posture to adjust his own tiger-like steps.

When the battle ended, his Tiger Step was complete.

Lin Sheng wiped his sword and sheathed it, saying, "It's a pity there are no dragons on Misty Branch Mountain, otherwise I guess I could have cultivated Dragon Walk as well."

"But even if I did, I'd probably just be asking for a beating."

He shook his head, thinking he might as well try finding a snake.

In the remaining time, he absorbed the precious essence refined from the eagle demon, the thorn wolf, and the blue-striped tiger, further strengthening his body.

Lin Sheng clenched his right fist, feeling the explosive power in his body. He felt that once he started practicing the Dragon Tiger Inner Breath Technique, he could try pretending to be a body cultivator as his second identity.

After all, who would have guessed that a cultivator who uses swords and magic could also have such good physical abilities?

After cleaning up the body, Lin Sheng didn't delay and went down the mountain to Baozheng Hall.

Upon arriving at Baozheng Hall, one finds a fairly large wine shop, but there are no customers buying wine inside.

Inside, a middle-aged man with a small mustache was lying on a recliner, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan despite the cold weather.

He carried a wine jug in his hand, taking a sip every now and then.

As soon as Lin Sheng entered the store, he heard the other party say, "Pick one yourself. If you find one that suits you, just tell me how much you want."

"I'm not here to buy alcohol."

Before he could finish speaking, the man laughed: "What would you buy at a liquor store if not liquor, like urine?"

"If there's nothing you like, just go out. It's getting cold, and I haven't brewed much wine yet."

"I've come to ask you to help me brew some wine."

The man stopped fanning himself, slowly sat up, and looked at Lin Sheng: "Brewing wine? Looking for me?"

"Yes, my senior brother sent me."

"Who is your senior brother? Don't trust strangers so easily." The man glanced at him and was about to lie down again.

"My senior brother's name is Cao Xingyi. He asked me to come yesterday."

The man, who was halfway down, suddenly stiffened, then straightened up again and said, "This person can be trusted."

He got up and walked over hunched over, and Lin Sheng immediately understood why the other person was fanning himself.

Because of the freezing weather, the other party was radiating high temperature, so high that Lin Sheng felt it was almost burning his hand.

But on the surface, there was nothing unusual, just like a normal person.

"You're his junior brother, so you're also from Liuyun Pavilion now."

"Yes, senior." Lin Sheng bowed.

"Alright, alright, alright." The man waved his fan, interrupting Lin Sheng's actions.

"Why should I, someone on the edge of the Pure Blood Realm, be called a senior? My surname is Wang, and my given name is Chun. You can just call me Elder Wang or Old Wang."

"Okay, Mr. Wang."

"Tell me, what kind of wine did he ask you to brew? That kid always comes to me whenever he wants a drink."

"Old Wang, it's not my senior brother who's brewing wine, it's me who wants to brew wine. I happened to acquire some ingredients and I'd like you to help me make it into wine."

"What is it?"

After saying that, Wang Chun patted his head and said, "Come in, come in. Really, as people get older, they forget that this matter should be kept secret."

Wang Chun led Lin Sheng to the backyard of the shop and asked Lin Sheng to retrieve the items.

Lin Sheng then took the Golden Fruit Honey out of his storage bag and showed it to Old Wang.

"Oh my, so much golden fruit honey! No wonder it's made into wine."

It would be such a waste to use this to make food or pills; either it would be ruined if not done well, or you'd have to add extra ingredients.

Hearing that Wang Chun's assessment was consistent with Cao Xingyi's, Lin Sheng felt somewhat relieved.

Then he asked, "Old Wang, can this be made into wine?"

"Sure, no problem, but with so many, it'll probably take a while."

"How long will it take approximately?"

Wang Chun fanned himself, thought for a moment, and said, "It'll take at least two weeks, won't it? Aren't you in a hurry?"

"No rush, no rush."

"Okay, I'll let Cao Xingyi know when I'm done. You can come and pick it up then."

"Mr. Wang, how much does it cost to brew the wine?"

Wang Chun waved his hand: "What money do you need? No money, no money."

Lin Sheng retorted, "No money required?"

Is there really such a thing as a free lunch?

"You've already mentioned that kid's name, and he's even his junior brother, why would I take money from you? Fine, leave it here, come and collect it later."

"Yes."

Looking at Wang Chun's attitude, Lin Sheng pondered that his senior brother really had a wide network of connections.

He then asked, "Elder Wang, I heard from my senior brother that you practice the Food Dao technique, is that right?"

Wang Chun stared at Lin Sheng: "What do you want to do?"

"I have some demon corpses that I'd like you to help me dispose of. Otherwise, they're just taking up space. Don't worry, the payment will be separate."

"Demon corpses... I used to be able to make them into precious meat, but not so much anymore."

Hearing this, Lin Sheng's hopes also sank a little.

"But I can help you contact someone who collects demon corpses and can turn them into precious meat for you."

"Who is it?"

A glimmer of hope rekindled in Lin Sheng's heart.

"I don't know his specific name, I only know that he belongs to an organization and has bought alcohol from me. His name is..."

"This country will."
