It had only been a little over three months since the Vermilion Bird Envoy of the Demonic Sect died at the hands of Fang Yaoyang, the Supreme Elder of the Divine Fist Sect, when another Grandmaster of the Condensing Gang Realm fell in Ningyun City, and this news once again detonated the entire Great Gan.

This time, the incident of Ximen Xue of Ningyun City killing Yang Chaoxing, the Second Hall Master of Dan Cao Hall, was not as grand as the previous attack on Jin'an Prefecture by Fang Yaoyang, the Supreme Elder of the Divine Fist Sect, and Ying Tianqing, the leader of the Demon Extermination Society, which gathered a total of seven Grandmasters of the Condensing Gang Realm.

However, the event of Ximen Xue of Ningyun City killing Yang Chaoxing, the Second Hall Master of Dan Cao Hall, also had its legendary aspects, namely, defeating a stronger opponent.

This time, Ximen Xue actually used his True Qi Realm late-stage cultivation to defeat Yang Chaoxing, the Second Hall Master of Dan Cao Hall, who was at the early stage of the Condensing Gang Realm. One must know that there is a huge gap between the True Qi Realm and the Condensing Gang Realm.

Yet Ximen Xue was able to cross this huge gap and achieve victory against a stronger opponent. The shock this action caused in people's hearts can be imagined.

Many martial artists couldn't help but feel excited after hearing this news, exclaiming that martial artists should be like Great Hero Ximen.

Ximen Xue, who was previously only slightly famous in Ningyun Prefecture and a few nearby prefectures, completely became famous throughout Great Gan this time, stepping on the corpse of Yang Chaoxing, a Grandmaster of the Condensing Gang Realm.

At this time, it was the third day after killing Yang Chaoxing, and Bi Changsheng finally had some free time.

After completely destroying Dan Cao Hall, Bi Changsheng began to focus on the reconstruction of the Crimson Blood Pill Pavilion and compensating the shops on Sajin Street nearby.

At first, the owners of those shops quickly refused the compensation offered by Bi Changsheng, not daring to accept it. It was only under Bi Changsheng's insistence that they agreed to accept it. As for the money for compensation, it naturally came from the loot seized from Dan Cao Hall. It must be said that Dan Cao Hall was indeed wealthy. After the compensation, Bi Changsheng still had some left over.

Of course, this was also related to the fact that Bi Changsheng only compensated for the reconstruction costs of those shops. If he compensated according to the value of the shops, even ten Dan Cao Halls would not be enough.

Under the powerful reputation of Ximen Xue, Bi Changsheng summoned many people to repair and rebuild the Crimson Blood Pill Pavilion and this section of Sajin Street. In just two or three days, the second floor of the Crimson Blood Pill Pavilion had been repaired, and the reconstruction of this area of Sajin Street was also nearing completion.

During these days, many forces in Ningyun City wanted to visit and build relationships, but Bi Changsheng found it troublesome and refused them all.

At this time, Bi Changsheng was sitting in the courtyard, flipping through a book. The words "Creation Condensing Yuan Skill" were written on the cover of the book. This was the cultivation method that Bi Changsheng had obtained when he eliminated the Yellow Heaven Cult stronghold in Jin'an Prefecture.

On the way back to Ningyun City from Jin'an Prefecture, Bi Changsheng had studied this cultivation method. After comprehending the method and trying it out, Bi Changsheng discovered that this method, which was said to be very difficult by the group of people imprisoned in the underground palace, was like an instinct in his hands, learning it as soon as he saw it.

With a thought from Bi Changsheng, the Creation Condensing Yuan Skill automatically circulated in his body. One year of lifespan was immediately extracted and then transformed into a familiar energy that gathered in Bi Changsheng's right hand, finally changing from formless to tangible, condensing into a drop of emerald green liquid the size of a water droplet.

This was the Life True Water mentioned in the cultivation method.

The energy just now felt familiar to him because it was similar to the energy generated when Bi Changsheng cultivated by sacrificing his lifespan, but there were also some differences.

Moreover, although Bi Changsheng had already mastered how to condense Life True Water, Bi Changsheng felt that he had not fully understood the Creation Condensing Yuan Skill. It still contained deeper mysteries, so Bi Changsheng often took it out to study whenever he had time.

Bi Changsheng had also experimented with Life True Water, and he had discovered two uses so far.

One was that when Bi Changsheng deliberately cut his hand and took Life True Water, he found that Life True Water had the effect of quickly healing wounds. The other was when Bi Changsheng poured Life True Water on a weed by the roadside, the weed grew wildly in a short period of time, and Bi Changsheng discovered its plant-promoting effect.

Both of these effects were very useful to Bi Changsheng. Rapid healing could enhance Bi Changsheng's ability to survive, and plant promotion was even more remarkable. It could allow Bi Changsheng to further get rid of his dependence on external objects and take a step further on the path of lifespan-sacrificing cultivation.

At this time, the wasteland in the courtyard that Uncle Fu used to grow vegetables had been requisitioned by Bi Changsheng, and all of it had been planted with medicinal herbs that were useful for his cultivation. Under the promotion of Life True Water by Bi Changsheng, they were growing very well, and he believed that they could be harvested soon.

With a thought, Bi Changsheng put the Creation Condensing Yuan Skill and that drop of Life True Water into the Storage Ring, and then took out another book. The words "Yi Calculation Scripture" were written on the cover of this book.

This book was one of the two the boss gave him when he bought Spirit Crystal and Spirit Grass at the Immortal Cultivation Ghost Market. Bi Changsheng had also been studying the "Yi Calculation Scripture" these days. This "Yi Calculation Scripture" is divided into four volumes, each of which covers complex content in various aspects such as arithmetic, space, and the five elements. Because the content inside is interlinked, it is necessary to start learning from the first volume.

This Art of Calculation seems like a cultivation method, but not quite. Bi Changsheng doesn't even know the specific effect because he hasn't even entered the first volume of the Art of Calculation.

With Bi Changsheng's comprehension, it was the first time he had encountered this situation, so Bi Changsheng was quite interested in this 弈算经. Fortunately, he had already found some clues, and he believed that it would not take long before he could enter the first volume.

Woof! Woof!

A dog's bark awakened Bi Changsheng, who was concentrating on reading. He moved his gaze from the book and saw Little Black looking at him ingratiatingly. Seeing Little Black's appearance, Bi Changsheng already knew what Little Black was thinking.

"I won't forget you, don't worry."

Saying a sentence to Little Black with a smile, Bi Changsheng took out a drop of Life True Water from the Storage Ring and dripped it into Little Black's mouth.

After drinking the Life True Water that it had been thinking about, Little Black barked a few times happily, and then ran to the side, lay down, and began to meditate and cultivate.

It turned out that Liu Zhengqing and Little Black were both seriously injured after Bi Changsheng rushed back that day, so Bi Changsheng gave them both a drop of Life True Water, allowing their injuries to recover quickly.

Moreover, it seemed that Life True Water had other benefits for Little Black, so Little Black came to Bi Changsheng to discuss wanting Bi Changsheng to give it a drop of Life True Water every day.

Bi Changsheng saw Little Black's performance that day, and the consumption of condensing Life True Water was not very large for him, at most it took some time, so Bi Changsheng naturally agreed to it.

"Young Master."

Bi Changsheng had just started reading again when he heard Liu Zhengqing calling him again. Looking up, Bi Changsheng saw Liu Zhengqing standing in front of him, twisting and turning.

"Young Master, I..."

Seeing Bi Changsheng looking at him, Liu Zhengqing looked hesitant.

"Sit down and talk."

First smiling gently at Liu Zhengqing, Bi Changsheng asked him to sit down first.

"Young Master, I want to take Old Man Fang as my teacher."

After sitting down, Liu Zhengqing finally mustered up the courage to say what he wanted to say under the comfort of Bi Changsheng's smile.

"Is it because of that day's events?"

After being surprised for a moment, Bi Changsheng almost guessed the reason after thinking about it.

"Yes, I want to help Young Master."

Liu Zhengqing replied firmly.

"You don't have to force yourself, you still have me."

Hearing Liu Zhengqing's reason, Bi Changsheng felt a warmth in his heart and spoke softly to persuade him.

"Although everything is good under Young Master's protection, I still want to help Young Master."

Thinking that everything he had now was given by Bi Changsheng, but he couldn't help Bi Changsheng with anything. Liu Zhengqing looked at Bi Changsheng with firm eyes, and he reaffirmed.

"Okay, then I'll respect your decision, but don't forget that I'm always behind you."

Feeling Liu Zhengqing's determination, Bi Changsheng stopped persuading him and chose to respect his decision as always.
