Chapter 100 – Striking the mountains to shake the tigers
At this moment, Marquis of Shuofang called out, "Left Supervisor, don\'t speak ill of others behind their backs. Come over here. Supervisor Tong has something to say."
Zuo Songyan walked over and smiled, "Lord Marquis, I was just asking the head of my Wen Chang Academy. I learned that he made great contributions in this turmoil, and I was praising him."
The Marquis of Shuofang glanced at him and remembered that his two children were like they had been cursed to have to take the entrance exam for the Wen Chang Academy. The more he looked at this old man, the more he disliked him. He said, "Left Supervisor, Master Tu Ming of your academy made great contributions. If it weren\'t for him, the escape of the Grey Dust Monster would have caused a great disaster."
Zuo Songyan agreed and said, "Master Tu Ming has a compassionate heart. In the last turmoil caused by the Grey Dust Monster, many people died. It was also Master Tu Ming who came over to help suppress it."
"Whenever there is trouble at the Grey Dust Factory, Master Tu Ming and the teachers of the Wen Chang Academy happen to be nearby. It\'s puzzling," said Wen Lifang, Supervisor of the Jiuyuan Academy, with a smile.
Zuo Songyan turned and waved to Tu Ming, "Tu Ming, come here. Why do you always happen to be nearby whenever there is trouble?"
Tu Ming walked over, clasped his hands together, and said calmly, "I have investigated the Grey Dust Monster. In the last month, the Grey Dust Monster has caused seventeen consecutive disturbances, each of which resulted in heavy casualties. There had never been such disturbances before. Therefore, I suspect that there may be a problem underground in Shuofang City. I am worried about the safety of the people around here, so I stay here every day."
Tong Qingyun was moved and said admiringly, "Master Tu Ming is compassionate and admirable."
.
He turned to the Marquis of Shuofang and bowed, "The Grey Dust Factory has caused multiple disturbances, and it is because my family has failed to manage it properly. This time, in order to protect the mine, many spirit masters died, including nearly twenty teachers from the academies. Even the painting master from the Tai Academy in the west was buried here! My family dare not guard the underground anymore. I beg the Marquis and the major families and academies to send elite spirit masters to guard this place. My family is willing to share the profits of the Grey Dust Factory."
The Marquis of Shuofang was deeply moved and held up his elbows, saying, "Supervisor Tong, please get up quickly. The Grey Dust Monster has caused so much trouble, and your family has sacrificed so much. Many spirit masters have died, including Tong Qingluo, my younger brother\'s teacher..."
His eyes turned red, and he sighed before continuing, "The teachers of the Shuofang Academy were generous and heroic! The Tong family and the Shuofang Academy have borne too much for Shuofang City!"
Tong Qingyun stood up and turned his face to the side, tears streaming down his face.
The Marquis of Shuofang was even more moved and said, "This heavy burden of the Grey Dust City cannot be borne by the Tong family alone! All the major families, officials, and academies in Shuofang must share it and help the Tong family. We cannot let the spirit masters of the Tong family sacrifice in vain!"
He passionately spoke, "All the major families and academies must send more than ten spirit masters to guard the Grey Dust City. We cannot let the Tong family continue to sacrifice like this."
The heads of the major families in Shuofang nodded in agreement and said, "We didn\'t know that the Tong family had contributed so much before. Now that we know, we cannot let the Tong family continue to bear this burden alone."
The Marquis of Shuofang sighed, "It\'s because of families like the Tong family that Yuan Shuo can become so strong, and the country can be safe and prosperous. Supervisor Tong, don\'t worry. The profits of the Grey Dust Factory still belong to your family, and we won\'t take them."
Tong Qingyun\'s expression did not change, and he bowed his head, saying, "I dare not. Marquis, the Grey Dust City belongs to Yuan Shuo and Shuofang. My family has occupied it for decades. How can we continue to occupy it? My family is willing to share thirty percent of the profits of the Grey Dust Factory..."
The Marquis of Shuofang said sternly, "Supervisor Tong, please don\'t do this. We cannot accept it!"Tong Qingyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Jie Hui City is a precious treasure of heaven and earth. Only those who possess virtue can live there. Our Tong family\'s virtue is no longer sufficient to suppress Jie Hui City. Tong family is willing to contribute fifty percent of the benefits to be distributed among the major families, major academies, and education programs to boost people\'s livelihoods!"
The Shuofang Marquis sighed, "Tong Shao is too kind. Since Shao has good intentions for education and people\'s livelihood, we have no choice but to reluctantly accept it. What do you all think, lords and Shao?"
Everyone bowed and said, "Lord Marquis is wise!"
...
"A group of bandits, like sharks smelling blood, bite as soon as they come up!"
Zuo Songyan was still dissatisfied after leaving Jie Hui Factory, "It was clearly our Wen Chang Academy that contributed the most, but those big families and academies didn\'t do anything and just came to divide our share!"
Master Tu Ming followed him and laughed, "Shao, the academy has earned so much, which is beyond our expectations. If it weren\'t for the Marquis and many big families and academies to press down, would Tong Shao be willing to contribute so much?"
"That\'s true."
Zuo Songyan laughed and praised, "You have made great contributions this time, Master!"
Master Tu Ming smiled, "I only ran errands this time."
Zuo Songyan thought of Su Yun, as well as the high-level experts who died in Tong family and Shuofang Academy, the terrifying Jie Hui monster riot, and the deceased painting teacher from the West, and couldn\'t help but feel pressure.
Who knows how many people will die the next time Su Yun goes out to investigate the case?
Can Wen Chang Academy really cover for him?
Zuo Songyan couldn\'t help but shudder. What if they couldn\'t cover for him one day?
"No, I must go and talk to him!"
Tong Mansion, Immortal Residence.
The Tong family of Shuofang can be said to be an extremely large family. Tong Mansion refers to the group of high-rise buildings formed by more than ten buildings, all of which belong to the Tong family. Immortal Residence is built on these hundred-foot-high buildings.
Tong Qingyun\'s face was gloomy as he looked at Shuofang in the night, whispering, "Who did it? How dare they do it at this critical moment for my Tong family?"
He turned around, "Wu County Wei, Tong family\'s vitality is greatly damaged, and we can only mobilize your strength to investigate the lower world."
"Teacher, please rest assured. I am in charge of all the patrols in Shuofang. No matter what the person who destroyed Jie Hui Factory does, they will leave clues." Wu Shentong took two steps back and disappeared into the darkness.
Tong Qingyun looked towards the distance, where the holy people lived.
His eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.
In the secret room of the Apricot Forest Medicinal Shop, Su Yun sat in the cauldron, resting while activating the Xuanwu Sensing Scripture. Gradually, he sensed the Xuanwu\'s vitality, and the imprint of the Xuanwu\'s form was also added to the furnace of heaven and earth in his body.
Su Yun squinted his eyes and quietly practiced. Visualization was also a deep sleep for him, allowing his body and mind to rest.
After an unknown amount of time had passed, he switched to the Qilin Sensing Scripture.
After a long night, when Chi Xiaoyao woke him up, Su Yun had practiced all the other Sensing Scriptures once.
"Junior Brother, it\'s time for breakfast!"Su Yun hurriedly put on his clothes. Chi Xiaoyao waited until he was dressed before coming in to handle the herbs and medicine in the big cauldron. She said, "You stayed up all night doing homework and resting, so the teacher bought more breakfast this time. You go ahead and eat, I\'ll be there soon."
Su Yun smiled and said, "I\'ll wait for my senior sister."
Chi Xiaoyao leaned over the big cauldron and called for water to clean it. Su Yun looked at her from behind and felt that she was very beautiful, with a graceful figure and beautiful curves.
Chi Xiaoyao turned her head and saw him looking at her. Her face turned slightly red and she thought to herself, "Junior brother is good in every way, but unfortunately he is from Tianmen Town and has a poor background..."
She put on her shoes and the two of them went out together. They saw that Doctor Dong had bought breakfast for twenty people. He said, "Su Shizi, you eat more. I\'m full, you guys go ahead. Oh, Su Shizi, this meal is on you. I\'ll pay you back later."
Su Yun was shocked and thought, "So much food, who can eat it all? Does my senior sister have such a big appetite?"
His stomach growled and he quickly sat down to eat.
Doctor Dong rubbed his beardless chin, squinted his small eyes into two slits, and thought, "Last night, there were many anomalies behind him, obviously he was practicing some strange technique. From how much he eats, I can tell how much he has improved his cultivation level last night..."
Chi Xiaoyao sat down and saw that Su Yun had already wolfed down his food. The young girl was very gentle and ate her own breakfast in small bites.
Soon, Su Yun finished the breakfast for twenty people and still felt a little hungry.
Chi Xiaoyao had already been staring at him, thinking to herself, "Is my junior brother a dragon? He eats so much? If he is a dragon, then we are a perfect match..."
Doctor Dong\'s small eyes flickered with light, and he whispered to her, "He did homework for too long last night and his body was weak. Go buy him another breakfast for ten people and more meat."
Chi Xiaoyao hurriedly left.
Su Yun was a little uneasy and asked, "Doctor Dong, did I eat too much?"
"If you don\'t eat, you will starve to death."
Doctor Dong moved a stool and sat next to him, opened a wooden box and took out a silver needle, and said slowly, "Wealthy children doing homework must have the best food, the higher the quality, the better, because the faster their blood and energy improve, the faster their physical energy will be consumed. If they don\'t eat, they may even starve to death."
Su Yun was shocked.
Doctor Dong used the silver needle to poke Su Yun\'s skin, and the silver needle gradually bent. He said, "There are two ways to improve cultivation level. One is to borrow energy from the heavens and the earth, and the other is to absorb energy from oneself. Last night, when you were doing homework, I saw strange shadows appearing behind you. The energy between heaven and earth was almost formed, which means that you absorbed the energy from the heavens and the earth. Your technique is very powerful. The technique that can make the energy between heaven and earth take shape is not a technique for the foundation building or the spiritual realm!"
Su Yun\'s heart moved, thinking of the Great Unity Technique that Emperor Ping had mentioned.
"But strange thing is, your technique is a bit wrong. The energy between heaven and earth that you attracted did not meet the requirements for improving your cultivation level, which led to the rapid consumption of your physical energy. So you need to replenish it."
Doctor Dong increased his strength, and with the help of blood and energy, the silver needle finally pierced Su Yun\'s skin.
He couldn\'t help but be moved. The amount of energy he used this time was twice as much as last night!
In other words, Su Yun\'s cultivation level had improved by nearly twice overnight!
"Your problem lies in your technique."Doctor Dong suppressed his palpitations and took a small bottle to collect Su Yun\'s blood. He said in a deep voice, "Your cultivation method is fierce and domineering, but not perfect. It causes the spiritual energy of heaven and earth during cultivation to be insufficient to meet your needs. If this continues, it will harm your foundation and make your body sick. The longer you practice, the deeper the sickness!"
Su Yun thought of Di Ping\'s appearance and thought to himself, "Di Ping is always sickly and constantly coughing. Could it be that he also practiced the Great Unity Technique and made himself sick?"
"Doctor Dong, can I supplement my diet?" he asked.
Doctor Dong stopped after taking a little blood and shook his head, saying, "Dietary supplements cannot completely make up for it. Some of the things consumed in your body are not found in food. Some are brought from the mother\'s womb, and the Taoists call it essence and life. Therefore, it is best to practice this technique less, as it will damage your life. Be careful of your life."
Su Yun was frightened and suddenly realized, "Doctor Dong, I am still modifying this technique. When I finish, can you check if there are any flaws?"
Doctor Dong put the small bottle of blood away, "You can come to me anytime."
Chi Xiaoyao bought breakfast, and Su Yun finished the breakfast for ten people. He was a little scared in his heart, "I practiced all night, and my body was depleted to this extent. Fortunately, Doctor Dong found it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable! I must go to the world behind the Tianmen Gate, I must..."
Although he was afraid of the world behind the Tianmen Gate, he had to take the risk this time and enter that world to check the immortal map and perfect the Great Unity Technique!
Before it was perfected, he absolutely could not practice this technique again, nor could he teach it to Hua Hu, Qing Qiuyue, and others!
"Di Ping was also injured because of the Great Unity Technique. I must not follow in his footsteps!"
After breakfast, Su Yun and Chi Xiaoyao walked on the street. The girl excitedly took him to shop for clothes in the lower world. Although she was buying clothes for Su Yun, her enthusiasm was higher than his, and she dragged him around.
In the end, Su Yun held a pile of clothes and stumbled behind her.
At this moment, a carriage stopped on the side of the road, and Zuo Songyan pushed open the car window, saying, "Are you two scholars going back to the academy? Get on, I\'ll give you a ride."
"Thank you, sir!"
Chi Xiaoyao was overjoyed and climbed into the carriage. Su Yun struggled to hold the clothes and got on the carriage.
Zuo Songyan\'s eyes flickered, thinking to himself, "This envoy looks like an ordinary and honest young man, but he is extremely difficult to deal with. I must show my strength this time..."
Su Yun put down the clothes and greeted Zuo Songyan, "Scholar Su Yun greets the old piaozi."
Zuo Songyan\'s heart beat violently twice, and he groaned as if his head was heavily hit.
"I have been knocked down by him!" he thought.
The old man was frightened in his heart, "He gave me a warning as soon as he came up. What a powerful mind!"
