Rebirth starts with many children and good fortune

The miraculous effects of the exotic beast rabbit meat caused quite a stir within the Cheng household.

In just two days, the concubines who were originally at the initial stage of Muscle Training all felt a surge of blood and energy within their bodies, as if an invisible force was propelling them forward.

With unremitting effort and the aid of the exotic beast meat, they actually all successfully broke through to the middle stage of Muscle Training. This surprise and sense of accomplishment invigorated everyone.

Amidst this wave of breakthroughs, two women appeared particularly calm. They were Cai'er and Yu Niang.

Cai'er was at the middle stage of Skin Tempering, and Yu Niang was at the initial stage of Skin Tempering. Although they had also tasted the exotic beast rabbit meat, they did not seem to experience the obvious signs of breakthrough like the others.

"Cai'er, Yu Niang, have you felt anything unusual in your bodies?" Cheng Feng asked with concern.

Cai'er shook her head slightly, her expression peaceful: "Reporting to my husband, I have not felt any obvious signs of breakthrough, but the blood and energy in my body are indeed more vigorous than before, and cultivation is also smoother."

Yu Niang also echoed softly: "Yes, husband, although I have not yet broken through, I feel that my cultivation speed seems to have improved. Perhaps the time has not yet come."

Cheng Feng nodded upon hearing this, pondering to himself. He encouraged them: "You don't need to rush. It's probably because you are already in the Skin Tempering realm, and the exotic beast meat you ate wasn't enough. Don't worry, we still have three exotic beasts, which should be enough.

Cultivation requires gradual progress. Exotic beast meat is good, but it is ultimately an external force. You only need to maintain a normal state of mind and continue to cultivate diligently, and I believe the day of breakthrough will surely come."

Cai'er and Yu Niang glanced at Cheng Feng gratefully, their hearts filled with warmth. No matter how bumpy the road ahead, as long as Cheng Feng was by their side, they would have nothing to fear.

Thus, the two once again devoted themselves to cultivation, advancing towards a higher realm with even more steadfast steps.

After waiting for three days, the Cheng household finally welcomed a long-awaited figure—Wei Zhuang. He was travel-worn, but his eyes sparkled with the joy and determination of a successful breakthrough.

Looking at the familiar plaque of the Cheng residence, he thought to himself: "I've finally reached Organ Refining. Then the previous plan can also begin."

Upon hearing the news, Cheng Feng immediately put down his affairs and personally went to welcome him outside the mansion gate. When the two met, no words were needed. An embrace was worth more than a thousand words. Cheng Feng patted Wei Zhuang's back and smiled: "Well done, you're finally back! How was the trip?"

Wei Zhuang smiled slightly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes: "Everything went smoothly. Not only did I break through, but I also unexpectedly obtained some treasures that are very beneficial to cultivation. I'll sort them out later, and then we'll talk in detail."

Cheng Feng nodded in agreement, secretly delighted in his heart. Wei Zhuang's return not only meant that the Hongmen's strength would be enhanced, but more importantly, the Hongmen could finally officially step out of Qingxi County.

At dinner time, Cheng Feng specially hosted a banquet to welcome Wei Zhuang back and wash away the dust of his journey. In addition to Cheng Feng and Wei Zhuang, Cheng Feng's three Bone Forging concubines were also present. Everyone raised their glasses and drank together, with laughter and joy constantly filling the air, creating an exceptionally warm atmosphere.

Wei Zhuang sat at the banquet, looking around, his heart filled with emotion. He saw the harmony and happiness between Cheng Feng and his concubines, and he also felt the enthusiasm and respect that the Cheng household had for him.

During the banquet, Wei Zhuang also recounted his experiences and gains in detail, captivating everyone's attention. Especially when he mentioned those treasures that were beneficial to cultivation, it aroused everyone's great interest.

Cheng Feng was even more curious and asked: "Your standards are so high, what kind of treasure could catch your eye?"

Wei Zhuang was naturally prepared: "I had people move the things in already, bring them in."

Immediately, Wei Zhuang asked people to carry two boxes up.

When the boxes were opened, one of them was full of blood-red fruits, about the size of an infant's fist.

Wei Zhuang pointed to these fruits and said calmly: "This is our unexpected harvest. We encountered a band of bandits who attempted to rob us, and it happened that I had just completed my breakthrough and wanted to practice my skills.

So I easily dealt with the bandits. Two of the bandit leaders, seeing that the situation was not good, immediately surrendered and offered treasures, saying that there was a group of monkeys guarding a strange tree in the back mountain, and the fruits on the tree could help people quickly enter the Blood Refining realm. They had gained their current strength by secretly eating these fruits.

Hearing this, I certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity, so I immediately followed them to check it out. Unexpectedly, we really encountered two monkeys in the late stage of Bone Forging.

However, I didn't kill them, but successfully obtained those fruits. I have already arranged for my subordinates to try them, and the results show that these fruits are indeed very effective for martial artists in the middle to complete stage of Skin Tempering.

Even martial artists in the initial stage of Skin Tempering can increase their potential foundation after eating them."

After listening to Wei Zhuang's words, Cheng Feng's eyes flashed with excitement. He realized that this world was indeed far from as simple as it seemed.

The concubines beside Cheng Feng were also listening with great interest. This was an adventure!

They really regretted not encountering it!!!!!

The items in the other box were martial arts resources from Blackwood Prefecture that Wei Zhuang had purchased. These resources included materials needed for Skin Tempering and Blood Refining, enough for twenty people to use.

Moreover, the silver that Cheng Feng had allocated to Wei Zhuang earlier was also used to purchase these resources.

Wei Zhuang also said to Cheng Feng: "The level of martial artists in Blackwood Prefecture is much higher than that of Lianyun Prefecture. There, Organ Refining martial artists are also in the second tier.

It is said that the first tier is martial artists in the True Qi realm, but True Qi martial artists are rarely seen.

It's rare to see them!"

A slight regretful sigh aroused Cheng Feng's interest.

"Is Blackwood Prefecture really that powerful??"

Wei Zhuang said: "That's natural, but the official power there is the strongest. There are also prefectural troops stationed outside the city, which makes the martial artists in the city afraid to act rashly, and the order is also stable.

Moreover, I also heard some bad news. The Great Zhou army's encirclement and suppression of the Red Lotus Cult rebels was in vain, and the Red Lotus Cult's target is directly south."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng felt that something was not right. He had encountered many disaster victims and refugees in the past two years. If the Red Lotus Cult really attacked, I'm afraid that a small county town like Qingxi County would be in trouble! "

Wei Zhuang also saw Cheng Feng's worries and added: "According to the imperial court, the Great Zhou army has already deployed along the Wolong Prefecture line in Huangyun Road. Lianyun Prefecture is located in the eastern part of Wolong Prefecture. If there is a battle, I'm afraid it will also suffer."

This also served as a reminder to Cheng Feng that while he now had money, food, and people, it was time to leave Qingxi County and see the outside world!
