Life in ZIyu City

With the resources he had accumulated especially the gold coins, he could manage to survive in the city for some time without worrying much about some things.

He received a change of clothes the same was for Ago, and this was so as not to make 'her', not lose face, referring to Ruruo.

In his inquiries, he discovered unlike in other cities this one had some more advanced medical formulas and even pills. But that was not something he could afford to use at the moment, as it involved grandmasters that can use internal energy. 

He moved around and after finding the best at the most acceptable price range, collected some medical herbs for cultivation and improving blood Qi.

He saw some pills but the price was not worth it at the moment as they require one to be capable of using internal energy to be capable of using them. Those in the blood-forging realm begin to use the pills too since at this point in time one gets in contact with Qi.

In order to avoid running into some grandmasters and getting into a conflict he thought it best to stay at home and cultivate honesty.

What he wanted most was just time, and three days later, Ruruo left the residence without Luoli and seemed to have something to do.

Seeing this Wang just focused on his practice and his improvement seemed to have also started to become visible, he knew it was the resources he had just purchased.

He was certain that perhaps in no time he could be able to step into the blood forging level and thus he just had to stay low-key. As for the matter of the grandmaster, he did not think about it yet.

In this period both Wang and Ruruo seemed to have disappeared from the mansion and this was indeed the case as Wang seemed to have focused on his practice while  Ruruo really left.

Time passed like that and in three months Wang managed to break through the White tiger fist to the fifth level and the Biyun Fist to the third stage.

He then started to give the rest of his attention and time to the Sea Calming Manual and the Biyun fist. He wanted them to also enter a higher state but he knew the sea calming manual had its own requirements with epiphanies being the key issue.

After his White Tiger Fist martial arts entered a new level he could feel his body transforming daily and he was sure that stepping into the next level was just a matter of time unless he was willing to spend money on more expensive medical herbs.

 But at the moment, he seemed to have some important issues to deal with and thus stopped the practice for the day."I'm so hungry...If this continues the food intake will keep doubling with the passage of time and without an income source it might become a problem!"

It is said that the practice of martial arts requires money and this is not purely for the purchase of medical herbs, techniques, and even treasures to improve oneself but rather even the cost of food necessary.

Fortunately, the food in the mansion was enough for the time being and after having a meal in which large volumes of meat were included, he went back to his practice but he kept feeling that something was not right with his way of life.

He wanted to think about an income-making way, but in the end, he put the idea aside until Ruruo came back. He wanted to discuss this with her even though he did not feel like it was a good idea in the end he had no choice about it. She knew more about the city than him, and after that, he went back to his tedious routine.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Somewhere in Zuyi city, there was a sound of sword collisions from time to time, and when the two figures separated one could see that they were both females. 

Both were very beautiful but one had some cloth covering her face, and the other was Ruruo. At this time she was dressed differently but behaved more reserved and the other one hidden under the cloth put her sword back in the scabbard. 

"Junior sister, since you broke through to grandmaster you left the city and master seems to have already known you came back he asked you to go and see him. But your strength seems to have improved greatly. We should probably fight again in the future." After she finished speaking in a crisp voice she floated away using some movement techniques.

Ruruo looked thoughtful as she looked at the back of the woman disappearing. But her face seemed expressionless, and secretly thought, "Had I wanted to avoid the events from the past happening to me, I would prefer to not get involved with other factions, thankfully master is strong. Even in that past life when that witch deceived me and coveted my physique, she seemed to be very wary of him. Even though I never saw him again until that moment, I can be sure to gain security under him until my strength is considered something in  this world." 

In a way, she was referring to having the same realm as her master, and at the same time, some killing intent seemed to exist deep within her eyes as she looked in another direction.

"Besides, that stupid lad I married seems to be more interesting, In the period just being in the same residence made me improve compared to the hard work of several years. Well, let's finish with this old master and then go and see how to exploit him." 

As her thoughts drifted her killing intent had already disappeared and she climbed all the way to the peak of a mountain. At the same time, she arrived here, huge clouds could be seen everywhere covering the mountain yet a certain region was very clear.

The blue sky could be seen from there, and some pavilion-like structure stood there.

At some distance, a man with hair that had some grey but most black sat on top of the pavilion drinking from some wine jar.

He looked at Ruruo and said meaningfully, "You actually kidnapped a husband for yourself! Not bad, that kid has potential. If he manages to climb up to the third floor of the tower, then I can perhaps make an exception and add another disciple." 

But Ruruo asked, "Master! Don't you practice swords? Why do you want to take someone that might not have an interest in swords as a disciple?"

Listening to these words there was laughter resounding from the distance and then some of the clouds seemed to have been pushed aside revealing a slightly younger man compared to the one on the pavilion roof.

"Hahaha!!... Senior brother does not believe at all in the idea that one skill is enough to master. He probably laughs at a junior sister for being solely dedicated to studying spears...'

When the voice just ended at some point a huge shadow of a spear could be seen descending towards the pavilion and the man on it drinking wine bolted off into the clouds as though escaping.

"Senior brother Luo! Where are you going? I thought you were privately talking about me behind my back. Let's discuss this!" As the sound came the spear shadow seemed to shrink and turn in the direction the man with a bottle of liquor went.

"Junior sister! You should start to act like a lady or just kidnap a husband for yourself like that disciple of mine, or maybe discuss this with her she might help you out." As the voice resounded he had already escaped.

  This only left Ruruo alone and the others hiding in the clouds seemed to have also realized some gaze landing on him after laughing slightly.

"Junior sister calm down let's discuss things..." But this time he was not as lucky as Ruruo's master Luo Feng.

Seeing the master flee just like that without even saying anything she was helpless but the woman in the sky seemed to impress her.

"Si Wanrou! The strongest woman in her master's generation and is said to rank only three levels below master. Who would have thought I can see her? Beauty is indeed worth admiration."

She seemed to be observing everything that had just happened blankly while all the other people had escaped leaving her alone. In the end, only the woman in the sky landed and cast her eyes on Ruruo before saying, "Little martial niece, how about we talk about it? Does senior brother say you kidnapped your husband is that true?" 

When Ruruo saw the enthusiasm from the woman she thought something good was going to happen such as getting some meeting gift, but it turns out she was asking her this.

At this time Ruruo was: "?.."

She suddenly started to see that her master was throwing all the trouble at him. This woman was crazy.
