Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Breakthrough in Viscera Refinement, Prolonging Life by Twenty Years!_1
The incident with Liu Qingqing was nothing more than a minor interlude.
After leaving the mother and daughter to the care of the old steward Luo Dong, Luo Chuan did not inquire much further.
The vast Qingshi Town continued to operate as it had in the past few days.
The majority of smaller families had already begun to give up.
Mid-sized families waved their gold and silver, continuously exploring new industries.
The larger families were consolidating their positions within Qingshi Town.
As for Qingshi Town’s four major families.
Apart from the Jing Family, which held a very prosperous business controlling all the gambling houses in Qingshi Town.
The Luo Family, the Zhao Family, and the Hu Family.
These three major families were each silently engulfing the leaderless industries within Qingshi Town.
In the blink of an eye, another full three days had passed.
In a somewhat dimly lit room within the Zhao Family Clan land in Qingshi Town.
Zhao Wu, who was the current Family Head of the Zhao Family, was sitting in the main seat, his face obscured in shadow, making it difficult to discern his expression.
However, from the somewhat tense and oppressive atmosphere in the room.
One could easily infer that Zhao Wu’s mood was not very pleasant.
“How is the development of Black Tiger Fortress going?”
After a long silence, Zhao Wu, sitting in the main seat, broke the quiet and asked the man in black in front of him in a low voice.
“Family Head, following several days of external expansion, the total number of people in Black Tiger Fortress has already exceeded the five thousand mark.”
“Young and strong men have also surpassed the number of two thousand.”
“The development situation is excellent, but…”
“But what?” Zhao Wu frowned slightly.
Black Tiger Fortress, controlled by his second brother Zhao Hong, played a very important part in his future plans.
The development of Black Tiger Fortress must not be hindered.
“According to the plan, Black Tiger Fortress will soon complete the unification of all the stockades near Qingshi Town.”
“However, suddenly, a stockade called Blackwind Stockade appeared near Qingshi Town.”
“This stockade’s growth is incredibly rapid, even faster than the development of Black Tiger Fortress.”
“Family Head, I suspect… there might be someone silently supporting Blackwind Stockade.”
With such speculation emerging,
the atmosphere in the room abruptly became even tenser.
Things were getting messier and messier.
Whether it was the situation within Qingshi Town or the situation among the stockades outside of town.
All of this had exceeded Zhao Wu’s expectations.
“That old man in the Luo Family Ancestral Land, still not dead…”
“Outside Qingshi Town, there is now a Blackwind Stockade that may have someone’s support…”
“The world is getting more and more chaotic…”
Zhao Wu murmured softly.
Then, he sighed lightly.
A look of determination appeared on his calm face that remained veiled in shadow.
He could no longer drag out the matter concerning the Luo Family.
Initially, the Zhao Family gave up a premium vein of Qing Shi that stretched over three hundred meters long to the Luo Family because there were rumors in Qingshi Town that the old ancestor of the Luo Family Ancestral Land was nearing his end, with not much life left.
That was why the Luo Family could easily secure that precious Qing Shi vein.
Recently, although the Zhao and Luo families were still responsible for the mining and sales of the Qing Shi veins near Qingshi Town,
it was clear to feel that, with the advantage of that premium vein, the Luo Family had begun to put pressure on and even occupy some of the markets that originally belonged to the Zhao Family.
If it were for a short period, such a situation might not affect the Zhao Family too much.
But if it persisted over a long duration, this situation, for the Zhao Family…
Would undoubtedly be something that could weaken the Zhao Family gradually.
“The development of the stockade can be put on hold for the time being.”
“But the matter concerning the Luo Family… absolutely cannot be delayed any longer.”
Zhao Wu whispered to himself and silently observed the man in black before him, “You, go to Blackwind Stockade at once.”
“Summon my second brother and Gao Qi to return.”
“I need to discuss with them how to resolve the matter with the Luo Family from Qingshi Town.”
“Yes, Family Head,” the man in black nodded slightly.
Afterward, the mysterious man in black swiftly disappeared from the room.
While Zhao Wu, the head of the Zhao Family, plotted how to deal with the Luo Family,
Qingshi Town, Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Within a courtyard exuding an ancient atmosphere,
the silver-haired elder who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eyes tightly closed, emitting waves of intense heat from his body,
suddenly exhaled a long breath of turbid air.
And he slowly opened his eyes.
“Following Bone Refinement Perfection comes Viscera Refinement.”
“Viscera Refinement concerns the five organs and six viscera.”
“Although I had imagined the power of Organ Refinement Realm when I attained Bone Refinement Perfection, now that I’ve truly reached the Organ Refinement Realm…”
“It seems that my previous imaginations were somewhat conservative.”
Luo Changfeng was thinking to himself while he stood up.
He felt within himself a power that was three times stronger than that of Bone Refinement Perfection.
Reveling in the surging vitality within him, he couldn’t help but squint his eyes with pleasure and stretch languidly.
From this moment, having broken through to the Viscera Refinement Initial Stage, his lifespan extended by twenty years.
Not only did he solve the problem of insufficient lifespan, but he also resolved all crises facing the Luo Family in Qingshi Town.
In the Da Feng Dynasty, being in the Organ Refinement Realm,
although not considered the epitome of strength,
merely within Qingshi Town, he was now almost an invincible force.
Even within the whole Huai Shui County, he counted among the top tier of cultivators.
Of course, above the county level was the prefecture.
The size of a prefecture could vary; a large one may comprise more than ten counties, while a small one might have only three to five.
For example, Huai Shui County was part of Luo Mountain Prefecture.
Luo Mountain Prefecture wasn’t very large, governing eight counties.
However, these places were still somewhat distant from the Luo Family in Qingshi Town and from him, Luo Changfeng.
Such matters could be set aside for now.
After the breakthrough in his cultivation, Luo Changfeng then opened his personal golden finger panel.
[Name: Luo Changfeng!]
[Lifespan: 20 years+]
[Cultivation: Viscera Refinement Initial Stage+ (0/1000)]
[Qi-Blood: 1550 (-0) (ps: Safe usable Qi-Blood is 155!)]
[Cultivation Technique: Mortal Extreme Grade – Fierce Tiger Power (Comprehension: 30%+), Mortal Extreme Grade – Feng Ying Steps (Comprehension: 5%+) (Incomplete)]
Looking at the golden finger panel before him,
and seeing the total Qi-Blood Value abruptly become 1500,
Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but be slightly startled.
“Could it be that this thing increases as I break through my cultivation level and extend my life by twenty years, restoring my Qi-Blood in the process?”
After considering, he couldn’t help but affirm this conjecture in his heart.
After all, there seemed to be no other explanation for the sudden increase of 220 points in his total Qi-Blood Value.
“Let’s add these 155 points of Qi-Blood to the Mortal Extreme Grade Cultivation Technique, Fierce Tiger Power!” Luo Changfeng thought silently to himself.
Cultivation level is important,
but improving the comprehension of cultivation techniques is equally crucial,
and sometimes, the boost in combat prowess it brings
can far exceed that of pure cultivation level advancement.
