Da Chong glanced at Yumu's mother but ignored her, instead instructing his companions to start unloading the cargo.

"What's going on! What in the world is happening! Could it be that the Wang family is about to strike it rich? No, I need to find an opportunity to have my son investigate! How dare that Wang family, all servants, call themselves 'masters'!!!"

Yumu's mother's heart was filled with shock and doubt. She hurried back home, closed the door, and muttered to herself.

She had originally thought that with her son Yumu becoming a constable, he would be the most outstanding person on Loach Street.

But who knew a Wang family would emerge to steal her Yu family's thunder? How could that be allowed!

Night fell.

The Wang family's residence.

"This Bone Strengthening Pill is truly miraculous!"

Wang Sheng felt as if his entire body's muscles and bones were being hammered and reshaped by countless tiny hammers, a dense, comfortable sensation.

The circulation of blood throughout his body seemed to accelerate, becoming hot and boiling, the powerful medicinal effects catalyzing everything in a short period.

In less than two hours, Wang Sheng saw the progress of his Forging Gold Technique soar from Minor Accomplishment (43/1000) to Minor Accomplishment (316/1000).

Wang Sheng's cultivation in the Forging Gold Technique had risen from the early stage of Bright Energy to roughly the middle stage of Bright Energy.

With Great Tablet Shattering Hand at Grand Perfection in Bright Energy, stacked with Forging Gold Technique at the middle stage of Bright Energy, each strike unleashed double the Bright Energy force. Ordinary cultivators at the late stage of Bright Energy couldn't withstand ten moves from Wang Sheng.

If he were to activate the Blood Stacking Technique, it would be no problem to defeat a late-stage Bright Energy cultivator in a single move.

"Open panel!"

Wang Sheng willed.

[Heaven Rewards Diligence: Learning will yield results.]
[Cultivation: Bright Energy Grand Perfection]
[Great Tablet Shattering Hand: Minor Accomplishment (999/1000)]
[Forging Gold Technique: Minor Accomplishment (316/1000)]
[Blood Stacking Technique: First Layer]
[Stone Stance Technique: Minor Accomplishment (999/1000)]

"I hope I can buy a complete set of methods to directly reach Transforming Energy next. Otherwise, I'll have to promote to Dark Energy using the Forging Gold Technique first," Wang Sheng mused.

A moment later.

"You two stay home and guard the house. Don't wander around. Go to sleep when the time comes. I'm going to buy you some oranges."

Wang Sheng returned to the bedroom, left a message for the two women, and then left the Wang residence.

"Mother, what is Wang Sheng buying oranges for so late at night? He's clearly trying to fool us like children!" Li Xuan said indignantly.

"If Master has something to do and doesn't tell us, then we'll just pretend we don't know." Wang Qinshi felt her current life was very good. Her new husband was young, strong, and handsome. Although she was a bit older than Wang Sheng, she felt she could still have children.

Li Xuan looked at her mother, Wang Qinshi, with bright eyes. "Mother, Wang Sheng isn't here, and you're still calling him 'Master'."

"Xuan'er, I genuinely like Master. If you don't like it, then leave on your own. No one is forcing you." Wang Qinshi said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Li Xuan's heart skipped a beat. A strange thought suddenly crossed her mind.

Looking at her mother's demeanor, it seemed like she really wanted her to leave.

Could it be that she...

Really fell in love with Wang Sheng, And saw her own daughter as a threat!

She wants to compete with me for his affection!!!

Li Xuan fell into deep thought. Why should she leave? When it came to competing for affection, she was young, and could she really lose to her mother?

In the pitch-black night, a crescent moon hung high, with sparse starlight scattered like dots.

Gusts of cold wind blew, rustling through the quiet city.

Swish, swish, swish...

Dark figures rapidly converged towards a certain direction within the city.

Tonight, there were an unusual number of black-clad figures on the rooftops; one could see people darting about everywhere with a mere glance.

After about fifteen minutes, Wang Sheng, dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat, appeared at the entrance of the Black Market.

Behind the entrance lay an ordinary long street. During the day, due to its remote location, few people came here.

But once night fell, all sorts of people, from all walks of life, mixed and mingled, flocking to this long street.

Today, there were many people. Black-clothed figures walked along the long street, some moving with incredible speed, like ghosts, appearing and disappearing.

The sides of the road were lined with all sorts of strange and peculiar items. Black-clothed merchants, whether standing or lying down, sold their wares without a sound.

It seemed quiet, but it was as lively as a silent film.

"One tael of silver!"

The gatekeeper at the entrance was an old man with almost no teeth left. He sat openly at the entrance, collecting the toll.

Seeing that everyone else had paid, Wang Sheng followed suit and paid his silver to enter.

Although Wang Sheng had come to buy a method that could directly lead to Transforming Energy, he still walked the entire length of the street first to get a feel for things.

The Black Market was indeed a black market, selling only illicit goods.

Many people were selling information, from trivial gossip to the preferences and cultivation methods of powerful figures in various factions. There was even information about rebel armies and the barbarians of Han Country.

Some experts were selling beautiful martial artist slaves, including members of prominent factions and their disciples.

The rest consisted of precious pills, cultivation manuals, fragments of divine weapons, property deeds, and so on.

"A method to directly reach Transforming Energy? Friend, are you joking with me!"

"No, no, don't cause trouble here."

"Which ignorant brat has come out? Get lost quickly!"

Wang Sheng asked several vendors selling cultivation methods, but none had a complete set of methods that directly led to Transforming Energy.

Hearing the curses from the last vendor, Wang Sheng's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly struck out with a punch.

The early-stage Bright Energy martial artist who had just insulted him heard his bones crack and shatter, and he immediately lost his life.

The black-clothed figures who had been standing around Wang Sheng changed their expressions and quickly moved away.

Wang Sheng surveyed the surroundings and snorted coldly.

Because he had been constantly searching for a method to directly reach Transforming Energy, he had exposed himself as a newcomer, which attracted some ill-intentioned individuals.

Too many ants can kill an elephant.

Wang Sheng didn't want to encounter countless ambushes after leaving this street. So, he decisively killed one person first.

Strike one to prevent a hundred from coming!

This punch was enough to intimidate some people.

"Bright Energy Grand Perfection, and it doesn't seem like ordinary Bright Energy. Quite a few bones were shattered!"

"He's got some strength, tricky!"

"Don't know which expert this is, but he's not to be trifled with! Not to be trifled with at all!"

"That was close, this kind of expert is probably already touching the edge of Dark Energy!"

Many people made assessments in their hearts, each becoming cautious, their brows furrowed.

An expert's move reveals their skill.

Wang Sheng's move was enough to make him gain some notoriety throughout the Black Market street.

Some people had unconsciously categorized Wang Sheng as an old veteran who had cultivated multiple martial paths.

Such old veterans were not even willing to provoke Dark Energy martial masters.

"Hmph, you killed my man and you still want to leave!"

A figure quickly rushed over.

The person who had been killed at his stall earlier was too weak. It was obvious he wasn't the main boss, likely just one of the boss's subordinates.

Now, the boss had arrived.

Bright Energy Grand Perfection!

"Die!"

The boss surged with his full strength, forming his fingers into a claw. The powerful claw technique tore through the air, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

"You're seeking death, then I'll grant it to you!"

Wang Sheng circulated his Forging Gold Technique. His physical muscles suddenly bulged, his body became imposing, and he strode forward with a majestic aura, like a golden mountain toppling or a jade pillar collapsing. He charged forward recklessly, causing many people's eyelids to twitch!

A Body Refiner!

He's actually a Body Refiner with a tough physique!

"Poor scholars, rich warriors." Martial arts were already expensive, but Body Refining was one of the most costly and difficult cultivation methods within the martial path to achieve success!

The approaching boss was even more startled and stopped in his tracks. His unique claw technique was perfectly countered by the thick physique of a Body Refiner.

An ordinary Bright Energy martial artist would be crippled or killed by one hit from his claw.

But if he grabbed a Body Refiner, it would be his own death.

Once a Body Refiner got close and controlled you for even a breath, the consequences would be dire.

"Hmph, I'll spare you for today!"

The real culprit, who had used claw techniques, turned around, uttered a harsh threat, and immediately charged into the crowd without hesitation, fleeing frantically and quickly disappearing.

"Hahaha..."

"This guy looks good but is useless!"

"I thought I'd see a good show, but he's a coward, he actually ran!"

The surrounding people were all dissatisfied, cursing repeatedly.

"Heh!"

Wang Sheng chuckled, turned, and went straight to the man's stall. Not only did he take everything on the stall, but he also started selling things himself.

"Friend, are you selling these things cheap?"

Seeing Wang Sheng start to sell, someone wasn't afraid that Wang Sheng had just killed someone and immediately stepped forward, wanting to take advantage. After all, these were all obtained by Wang Sheng for free.

This is the Black Market; no one manages it; everything depends on yourself.

Of course, if you accidentally provoke the wrath of the crowd, you're dead.

So, there are unwritten rules: fights and brawls won't last long or get out of hand!
