Within Chongzhen Hall, they used an entire 2 hours to discuss the specifics of these few government decrees. After many random matters, everyone left in a satisfied manner.

However, when they left, Zong Shou signaled to Qiu Wei. He pointed towards Hu Zhongyuan and then blinked. Then he used his hand as a knife and sliced at his neck.

Qiu Wei thought about it and roughly understood, bowing, “I understand. I will put Hu Zhongyuan in charge of checking and investigating Shili Lingn Xiangding. If he dares to be unfair about it, I’ll take his head!”

His voice was extremely loud, like a giant bell heard by everyone within the hall.

Hu Qianqiu’s expression was weird, not knowing was he happy or worried. Hu Zhongyuan was pouting, not knowing how he made Zong Shou angry?

If today’s matter was spread out, the circle of friends that he hung out with would probably treat him as an enemy. H reputation in Shili Ling Xiangding was broken, and everyone would want to beat him up.

Zong Shou smiled. This was just the beginning. The true way of dealing with this fellow was yet to come.

Walking out of the back door of the Chongzhen Hall, Zong Shou’s body gave off a cold aura, really dark and sinister, and occasionally he would laugh coldly. It caused Chuxue to feel a chill down her spine, thinking that her young master was such a narrow-minded person and it was best not to make him angry.

Within that warm reading room, there were still mountain amounts of documents and work to be done.

However, today, Zong Shou was lazy to bother about it. He saw that everything, be it big or small, was handled by Ren Bo. Even if he didn’t bother about it, Gantian Mountain City wouldn’t collapse and it wasn’t a huge issue.

He walked into the cultivation room. Because of those complicated and busy matters, he had wasted 2 days. Today, he could finally see how his progress was.

This cultivation room used personally by Zong Weiran was majestic. Just the size was a thousand feet around. With sandbags, wooden puppets, 18 types of weapons, etc, nothing was lacking.

Zong Shou walked in front of a wooden puppet, seeing that not only was it made of grade 7 and above spiritual wood. The outside layer was wrapped in many layers of grade 7 beast leather which could lower the damage to the puppet to the lowest. Apart from that, there were spiritual formations that could calculate strength such that one could estimate how much strength they had.

Exclaiming to himself about how generous Zong Weiran was, Zong Shou directly pinched out. Only to hear a thud as he hit the puppet.

The wooden puppet didn’t even shake, just the outside layer shone a yellow spiritual glow.

This spiritual formation that calculated strength was a total of 9 colors. It used color to differentiate the level, the difference in the deepness of the color judged the strength or weakness of the person.

“Deep yellow with a few bits of red light. My current strength should be around 50 thousand kilograms, just nicely crossing xiantian peak by a distance! And also the true qi in the body, I have gathered a lot!”

A happy glow burst out in Zong Shou’s eyes. He didn’t expect that after solving Zong Shou’s last wishes that he would get such great benefits!

He had merged with close to 30 of the lightning Phoenix essence at once. If this continued, in just less than a year, he would absorb it all.

Just nice that world shocking spiritual art he had deduced near completion the 2nd meridian cultivation method. Although it wasn’t completed, it could already be used.

Without hesitation, Zong Shou took out a spirit absorbing pagoda. However, this time it wasn’t that cheap item that came from the Demon Flag Sect disciple.

It was one of the spiritual artifacts left for him by Zong Weiran. It was 6 layers high and the color was purplish gold. Others only need one look to know that this was a high-grade item.

Not only could it absorb one more spiritual vein as compared to normal grade 6 spirit absorbing pagoda, but it could also help the spirit master search for those spiritual veins, the absorbing ability was the same as grade 7 ones.

Within the pagoda, Zong Shou was raising a few 5 elements mixed spiritual veins within which were all strengthened before.

Now, he didn’t need to do other preparations, just sitting cross-legged before he absorbed 2 into his body, keeping in his minor organ chakra meridian.

At the start, it was a little unstable, clashing with the 2 earth veins in the external meridian. The skin on his body started to tear up, and his meridians started to swell up like it was about to burst up. Then Zong Shou used true qi to suppress it whilst also adjusting it to slowly calm it down.

He felt the 6 minor organs in his body-gallbladder, liver, small intestine, large intestine, bladder, and the three truncal cavities. He could also clearly feel that they were all swiftly strengthening.

The spiritual energy in the body that was gathered surged. It was like it was endless, even if it was consumed it could continue to be produced.

Zong Shou adjusted his breath a moment, until all 4 earth meridians stabilized in his body, not conflicting anymore. After the two were distinct from one another did he stand up and punched out on the wooden puppet beside him. All of a sudden, the 4 spiritual veins meshed up into a force as all of his strength was used in that fist.

He saw the wooden puppet give out a spiritual light, yellow light had disappeared and turned red.

“Pale red…However, it’s color was shallow. Its power should be around 100 kilograms. With my experience, it is around 95 thousand kilograms. I only just merged with 2 spiritual veins…”

A normal xiantian peak had roughly 45 thousand kilograms of power. If one broke through that realm and then merged a spiritual vein, his strength would increase by 3 times until 150 thousand kilograms!

Now with just a two meridian body, he could go up against martial ancestors. This was also before using sword intent and using true qi.

However, this progress was just that. Thinking about how he still had a body of lightning Phoenix essence, his martial path from his last life but he couldn’t use it. Zong Shou couldn’t help but sigh at his destiny.

Luckily, his spiritual cultivation wasn’t restricted thus he could slightly console himself with it.

Just as he thought about that, he kept his thoughts. He first started to practice the 4th energy leading technique in this cultivation hall with all his focus. Then, he did all the fist techniques-foundation breathing fist, blazing sun fist, Five Round Enlightened King Fist, and rhinoceros spiritual armor fist all 10 times.

Lastly was the basic sword technique which he used a full 20 times. The entire process was not rushed nor slow, covering every single detail.

4 hours had passed until he completed all this homework. Zong Shou’s entire body was covered in sweat.

In the past, when they were traveling, cultivation was inconvenient on the carriage and he didn’t have enough space.

This was why he spent most of his time on spiritual cultivation. Now that he returned to Gantian Mountain and finally settled down, he had to make up for all this missed work.

Even if his spiritual cultivation was far above his martial path, but in his heart, he still placed the sword path he had chased in the last life as number 1.

After training all these martial path basics one by one, Zong Shou spent some time on spiritual techniques as well as some techniques in regards to his inability to speak. Then, he heard loud cheers within the Hanyan Palace.

Zong Shou was startled and walked out of the drill field, only to see the guards here, their faces red with excitement. Their looks were all filled with utmost gratitude. Listening in, it was all discussions regarding the book hiding pavilion and the pill purchase decrees.

Zong Shou was instantly delighted, thinking that he could start to invest in a weapon and pill shop.

Loaning money from him, they had to purchase from shops he designated. Not only could he earn interest, but he could also rely on the 2 shops to earn business and money. He could also develop a bunch of spirit masters and weapon refiners before the spiritual wave, killing 2 birds with 1 stone. He was truly a genius.

What should he do? Even he was in awe with his own ability. If this went on, would he become too vain?

Turning around and looking, only to see Chuxue stare downwards at the cliff on the side. Zong Shou walked over and looked down too, only to see the city had hung up banners and lights. Tens of thousands of feet out Zong Shou could hear the sound of fireworks like they were having a huge celebration.

Looking closely, he saw girls on the streets all smiling wide in happiness.

Seeing him walk over, Chuxue instantly giggled, “Young master that Quiet Cloud Pavilion is in such bad shape. Your plan is still the best. Openly taking revenge for your vendetta.”

Zong Shou’s brows furrowed as he glances towards the direction of Shili Ling Xiangding. Only to see that that place was mainly surrounded by ten thousand troops. He could see Hu Zhongyuan dressed in iron armor, leading a group of soldiers and cleaning out this reason.

That Quiet Cloud Pavilion was surrounded by a thousand women. They seemed to be in an intense quarrel, who knows what they were talking about.

Zong Shou’s lips instantly curved before he stopped himself, knocking Chuxue’s head. Following which a few words formed up in the air using spiritual energy.

“Bullshit! I’m a city lord, why would I quarrel with some small woman?”

Chuxue rolled her eyes, thinking to herself for the young master to continue acting. Then her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes showing some sympathy, “Young master, those girls are so pitiful.”

Zong Shou agreed when he heard that, then he turned around whilst laughing coldly, a few words forming in mid-air.

“A family crying is like a city crying. Let’s wait for 2 days.”

He directly turned around and walked back into the cultivation hall in exhaustion. Those words formed with spiritual energy was a method he thought about just now. Although he could act cool because he wasn’t well trained at it. The soul power consumption was more than spells. Along with the practicing from before, he nearly used up all his soul power.

Chuxue’s heart relaxed. She knew Zong Shou’s personality. Since he said that, he wouldn’t be so merciless.

In the vast hall, Zong Shou ignited a few purple sandalwood incenses and entered meditation.

After the luck talisman, he formed 2 talismans at the same time, one was the swallow and the other was purified.

With the heaven swallowing energy conversion technique in his hand, in the last life, Zong Shou spent a lot of time and effort on it. With some rough focus, he had mostly grasped it.

As for that purify word, Zong Shou also had some idea. The one which gave him the most inspiration was Little Gold on his arm.
