Hua Xiaomei

After the food was in the pot, he went to Liu San's corpse and began to search it.

To his surprise, this Liu San was quite wealthy, and he actually found a few taels of broken silver.

In this world, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand copper coins, and one thousand copper coins is seven or eight hundred wen. For the current Shi Feizhe, this was a huge fortune.

But soon, he found a square tattoo with internal patterns on Liu San's arm.

Shi Feizhe recognized this pattern. It belonged to the local gang in Yi Yang City, the Four Directions Gang.

Yi Yang City had three major local gangs: the Four Directions Gang, the Live Slaughter Gang, and the Blood Wolf Gang.

Since Yellow Sky took control of Yi Yang City, the three gangs had been fighting fiercely recently, and the area where Shi Feizhe was located belonged to the Four Directions Gang.

He had killed a member of the Four Directions Gang, so he couldn't go to the medical hall. Although the gang members were very respectful to the owner of the medical hall, they were bossy and arrogant towards everyone else in the medical hall, acting as if they owned the place!

So, where else in Yi Yang City could he go?

Yi Yang City was square-shaped, fifteen kilometers long from east to west and ten kilometers long from north to south. It was a large city in Yi Province connecting the north and south!

As long as he hid in other parts of the city, the Four Directions Gang naturally wouldn't be able to find him.

No, living in constant fear like that, how could he practice martial arts well!

He had to escape Yi Yang City, then practice the True Origin Sword Finger Technique to minor completion. Then he would kill his way back, point a finger at each one, and slaughter the entire Four Directions Gang. Only then would his hatred be appeased!

Thinking of this, he rolled up his only two sets of clothes into a bundle, ate his meal, and headed towards the south gate.

His home was actually closest to the north gate, but going to the north gate meant passing by the medical hall. He was afraid of being seen by the people in the medical hall and causing trouble, so he went to the south gate.

It was already past the Chen hour in the morning, the sun had fully risen, the Yellow Sky above the City Lord's mansion had disappeared, and the sky had turned back into a light blue.

The shops around the south gate also opened one after another. The sounds of hawking and shouting began to rise everywhere. The entire Yi Yang City seemed to come alive at once, becoming bustling.

Seeing these scenes of everyday life, and then thinking of the life-and-death struggle of the previous night, Shi Feizhe felt as if he had passed through another world.

After thinking for a moment, since he was going on a long journey, he still needed to make more preparations.

So he went to a pawn shop and bought an old umbrella. He also went to a dry food store and bought some dry food to carry with him. By the way, he bought a crooked-mouthed gourd to hold water.

After packing these things, he followed the flow of people, exited the main gate of Yi Yang City, and set off towards Qiu Yang City in the south.

He walked during the day and stayed overnight at inns. By the third day, Shi Feizhe felt his body had recovered a lot. He hurried on his way but missed an inn, so he had to camp in the wilderness.

This was also because Shi Feizhe had too little experience. He didn't know that people in this era could only travel so far each day. Especially since many were traveling merchants, pulling goods with oxen and horses, they couldn't travel fast at all.

Therefore, along the main official road, there would be inns or similar lodgings every few dozen li, specifically for passing travelers to stay temporarily.

If you missed one, the next one would be dozens of li away.

Qiu Yang City was four hundred kilometers south of Yi Yang City. Walking forty li a day would take nearly twenty days.

Even a fast horse could cover four hundred kilometers in a day and a night, but that would require constantly changing horses at relay stations, regardless of the horse's stamina, to achieve such speed.

Unless there was a martial arts expert who could travel a thousand li a day, they could reach Qiu Yang City from Yi Yang City in a single day.

"Ah, transportation is really inconvenient! If only there were high-speed rail..." Shi Feizhe gathered a pile of firewood, found a sheltered spot in the woods near the official road, built a fire, and sighed.

High-speed rail would get you there in just an hour or two!

At night in the wilderness, the temperature dropped significantly. During the day, he felt covered in sweat, but at night it was so cold he needed to build a fire.

Sleeping alone in the wilderness was very dangerous. Not to mention passing villains, even if the bonfire went out, the temperature dropped sharply, and poisonous insects and snakes were very troublesome.

If there were two people, they could take turns keeping watch, but one person couldn't sleep well. Shi Feizhe could only practice martial arts by standing in a stance.

After a few days of rest, although his superficial injuries had not fully healed, the meridians in his body were no longer painful, and he could try standing in a stance and circulating his energy to practice.

Like the sword stance he had stood in last time, with his feet firmly planted, his hands against his legs, his body standing straight, with each breath, true energy was generated in his dantian.

"A strong physique is needed to cultivate true energy." "No one has ever cultivated the True Origin Sword Finger Technique to completion in decades!"

Shi Feizhe no longer thought about what Liu San had said.

Just one inexplicable incident could have gotten him killed. This world was too dangerous for someone like him, who had no one to rely on and no power or influence.

He had lived another life, and he didn't want to die confusedly like a blade of grass!

He could only grasp the only power that could allow him to survive.

When the moon was high in the sky, after Shi Feizhe had completed several Ren Meridian Small Cycles within his body and a trace of true energy was slowly growing stronger, he suddenly heard someone speaking.

"I didn't expect there to be someone here!"

Shi Feizhe looked up and saw a man, a strange man, slowly walking out of the darkness.

He was wearing a white brocade robe with a large cloak over it. The cloak had auspicious cloud patterns. On his head, he wore a black swastika-patterned scarf. Around his waist was a white jade inlaid gold belt, and in his hand, he held a folding fan.

He was even more handsome, with a face like polished jade and eyes like bright stars, closely resembling Zun Long.

He didn't look like he was in the wilderness at all, but rather like he was attending some kind of banquet!

"You are?" Shi Feizhe became more vigilant. A handsome man suddenly appearing late at night was truly bizarre.

"I am Hua Xiaomei. Greetings, young brother!" The man cupped his hands and said politely.

Strange, a man named Hua Xiaomei.

"I am Shi Feizhe!" Shi Feizhe replied politely.

"I was returning from a banquet and passed by here. Seeing the firelight, I came to take a look," Hua Xiaomei said.

A banquet? What kind of banquet in the middle of nowhere?

"And then?"

"And then what?"

"After taking a look, what then?" Shi Feizhe asked cautiously.

"Haha~" Hua Xiaomei laughed and said, "Little brother, don't be nervous! I have no ill intentions. I just found your stance practice earlier quite interesting, so I showed myself to chat."

"Oh? What was interesting about it?"

"I also practiced that stance when I was young," Hua Xiaomei was about to say, but suddenly closed his mouth and looked in another direction.

Shi Feizhe followed his gaze and saw a woman in white suddenly appear not far from the bonfire.

"The weather is cold. This humble one invites the two young masters to my humble abode to shelter from the wind!" The woman's voice was clear and cold, very pleasant to listen to. She wore a flowing white dress, with silver hairpins in her hair, and a thin veil covering her face, making her appearance unclear.

But her eyes were very bright, even excessively bright when looking at the two of them!

Hua Xiaomei's expression changed, and he said, "No!"

I only uploaded two chapters, and someone is already helping me correct errors. This is too difficult for me.
