In the end, Wang Hao didn't turn Wangcai into a dog meat hot pot, but he did punish him by hitting several large bumps on the dog's head.
After all, that's the Nine Yin True Scripture!
Wang Hao carefully packed the bamboo slips containing the secret manuals into the box that had previously contained the wedding clothes. He then carried the box out of the tomb and, once on the surface, sealed off the tomb passage. He even destroyed the mechanism under the tombstone to prevent anyone from going down and disturbing the deceased's slumber.
" Mengmeng, do you think I can really defeat Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, and then live happily ever after with my wife?"
Looking at the overgrown graves, Wang Hao couldn't help but sigh, feeling somewhat lost about the future.
Xiao Mengmeng had already told him before that it was best not to have any marital relations with Dongfang Bai during the time she was in this body, mainly because this body wasn't his own. If he got Dongfang Bai pregnant, whose child would it be?
However, his strategy was not in vain. After returning to the Primordial Main World, as long as he killed Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao and became the ruler of everything, he could live a happy life with his wife.
Therefore, the current struggle is for future happiness and sexual well-being.
But seeing that his Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, died far from home and could not be buried with his beloved wife as he wished, made him feel somewhat insecure.
After all, his ultimate opponents are Dao Ancestor Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao!
The Xiao Mengmeng in the System Space didn't speak because there were some things Wang Hao needed to figure out for himself. Others' advice might temporarily suppress his confusion, but that was only a temporary solution. The best way was for him to break through his confusion on his own.
Moreover, she believed that Wang Hao would eventually break free from his confusion.
Sure enough, after a while, Wang Hao seemed to have figured things out, and the confusion in his eyes gradually disappeared, turning into an indescribable determination.
"Senior Eastern Heretic, I will not die far from home with regrets like you. Victory will surely be mine!"
With his fists clenched tightly, Wang Hao was resolute and even more determined to fight.
If before, the effort to become stronger was to avoid being castrated in the Primordial World, then now it's about striving for the ultimate goal.
He will definitely succeed!
"I wonder how my parents on Earth are doing now? But with my older brother taking care of them, they should be alright. I hope they won't be too heartbroken to hear about my death."
Having made up his mind, Wang Hao looked up at the bright moon rising in the night sky and felt a pang of longing for his parents and family on Earth.
"Uncle, don't worry. Before they transmigrated, to avoid being detected by that woman from the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun, they erased all Cause and Effect related to you. They will forget your existence. They also gave your brother a lottery ticket worth ten million, enough for them to live a wealthy life."
If you miss your parents and family, uncle, once you defeat Hongjun and that stupid woman from the Heavenly Dao, you can reverse time and restore their memories so the family can be reunited. So, uncle, keep striving!
Xiao Mengmeng then spoke up to comfort Wang Hao, relieving him of his worries.
"That's a good idea, thank you, Xiao Mengmeng!"
Hearing this, Wang Hao breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to forget about it for now, so as not to make his parents and relatives sad. At worst, as Xiao Mengmeng said, he could reverse time and go back to reunite with his family once he truly achieved final victory.
"Then it's time to get to work and strive for it!"
With no worries left, Wang Hao felt a great sense of relief. He picked up the box full of secret manuals and strode away, with Wangcai quickly following behind.
Before long, Wang Hao arrived at the core area of Peach Blossom Island, which was the former residence of Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi.
Although most of the former residence has become ruins, the Japanese pirates had previously repaired it and built many shacks that were barely habitable.
While Wang Hao was searching for treasure in the tomb all day, the women had already diligently cleaned and tidied the place inside and out, throwing away all the things that belonged to the Japanese pirates and replacing them with items that were in line with the living habits of the Huaxia.
Of course, Wang Hao's residence was not a shack built by these Japanese pirates, but a former residence of the Eastern Heretic, which was the place where the previous leader of the Japanese pirates lived.
Although it looks old-fashioned, it's still much better than those shantytowns.
Wang Hao, without hesitation, moved in under the guidance of a woman; he would be staying there for some time.
" Yushu, once this place is mostly tidied up, gather everyone together and see what their special skills are. Make a record of them; this will be very useful for future development."
After looking around the residence, Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction and then gave instructions to the woman who had led him there.
The woman did not say what her original name was, but instead gave herself a new name, Yushu, which meant forgetting the past and starting a new life.
However, judging from her behavior, Wang Hao could roughly tell that she was a lady from a prominent family, likely from a merchant family, and possessed some management and business acumen.
Even those women were gathered and managed by Yushu before, and last night's fire was also caused by her organizing the other women to spread it quickly. Those women also implicitly regarded her as their representative, so Wang Hao appointed her as the leader of these women.
" Yushu Shu has already completed the registration process. This is the completed list; please take a look, benefactor."
Yushu took out a book from her sleeve. It was a record she had made of everyone during the day, which she originally intended to give to Wang Hao to review. However, Wang Hao also realized this.
"It's so much easier to have smart people do the work!"
Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction as he took the record book, then opened it and began to read it carefully.
"Not a single one of them has ever practiced martial arts!"
After flipping through the book of records, Wang Hao's expression turned grim. This sight, however, terrified Yushu, who quickly knelt down and said, "Benefactor, please don't blame us. Although my sister and I have never been exposed to martial arts before, we have enough determination and confidence to quickly learn..."
"Uh... you misunderstood. I just have some dissatisfaction with the patriarchal tradition of our Da Ming, not with you. I firmly believe that women can hold up half the sky!"
Wang Hao was taken aback and quickly helped Yushu, who was quite frightened, to her feet. He didn't mean to blame these women; he just felt they were being treated unfairly.
This is also a strange phenomenon in Huaxia civilization: severe patriarchal bias. Although this kind of thing happens in countries all over the world, it is undoubtedly more serious in ancient Huaxia.
Especially under the guidance of some so-called Confucian scholars in the Song Dynasty, this trend was pushed to an extreme, severely reducing the status of women. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this trend was even more extreme, further suppressing the status of women and even leading to many bad habits targeting women.
If we say that the things created by those great Confucian scholars in the Song Dynasty ultimately turned into malignant tumors, their starting point was good.
It's hard to say what the mentality of the so-called great Confucian scholars of the Ming and Qing dynasties was.
In short, the status of women in the Ming and Qing dynasties was the lowest in the history of Huaxia dynasties. Martial arts were something that even men had difficulty accessing, let alone women.
Some family martial arts even have a rule that they are passed down to men but not women. While there is some truth to this, it also proves the low status of women.
"Women can hold up half the sky too?"
Upon hearing this, Yushu's eyes lit up. These words were so creative and impactful that they even gave her more confidence in the future.
"You don't need to worry about learning martial arts for now. In a few days, I will deduce a martial arts lineage suitable for you women to practice and teach you how to get started quickly."
Wang Hao helped Yushu up and made a promise to comfort her.
If he lacked confidence before, he was now brimming with confidence after obtaining almost the complete legacy of the Eastern Heretic. Most importantly...
Host: Wang Hao
Cultivation level: Mortal Realm First Layer
Spirit: True Spirit Sword Intent (92/100)
Soul: Awakening
Soul: Awakening
God: Awakening
Qi: Awakening
Essence: Bloodline Power (7/100)
Fortune Points: 2010
Bloodline Divine Ability: Object Storage
Kung Fu Technique: Golden Bell Shield ( Peak Perfection / Transcendent Mastery )
Martial Arts: Ten Stances of Bloody Battle (10/100)
Lightning Straight-Line Step ( Complete Integration / Transcendent Mastery )
The Thousand Faces Divine Technique ( Complete Integration )
Looking at the two thousand Fortune Points on his attribute panel, Wang Hao was full of confidence.
These two thousand Fortune Points were suddenly extra when he was breaking through the tomb passage trap. The notification from Xiao Mengmeng indicated that Dongfang Bai Awakening her Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability.
Each of these two gave him 1,000 Fortune Points, totaling 2,000 Fortune Points, instantly making Wang Hao a tycoon.
With two thousand Fortune Points, what kind of martial art couldn't he deduce?
In addition to the increase in Fortune Points, the True Spirit Sword Intent also improved slightly, which was achieved during last night's great battle along with the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle.
After the Ten Stances of Bloody Battle were completely imprinted with his mark and became his exclusive martial art, the Transcendent Mastery level indicator disappeared and was replaced by a progress bar.
Xiao Mengmeng explained this by saying that Wang Hao's Ten Stances of Bloody Battle had transcended the constraints of the past, and he had achieved 100% control over the sword technique. From now on, the focus would be on improving the level of this sword technique.
The Ten Stances of Bloody Battle is Peak First-Rate martial art. Once fully comprehended, it reaches the standard of ten points. Originally, this was already the pinnacle of First-Rate -tier martial art, but with the blessing of the Nine Revolutions of Samsara Technique, its potential increases tenfold.
This means you'll need ten times the progress points to upgrade. Although the difficulty of advancing increases, the power will also increase, so it's a great deal.
At the same time, after that bloody battle, the Golden Bell Shield also reached its Peak Perfection, and the Bloodline Power increased slightly, with the strength reaching more than 6,000 jin.
After rereading the record book, Wang Hao suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Huh! There are three more who know medicine! We should focus on training these three. They will inevitably get injured in their future cultivation and even when fighting against the Japanese pirates, so we will need to train our own physicians."
"Yes, in a few days I will teach you a set of medical techniques. You should arrange for these three to learn them, and don't neglect them."
After thinking it over, Wang Hao had an idea.
It's worth noting that many of the secret manuals brought out of the tomb contained medical techniques, which isn't surprising, since Eastern Heretic Huang Yaoshi, was skilled in medicine, and even the Five Greats praised the pills he made.
Wang Hao even saw the formulas for the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill and the Impermanence Pill in those medical texts. This requires someone to study them, and perhaps these two divine medicines of the martial arts world can be reproduced.
The three women in the book who possess certain medical skills are promising talents and should be nurtured with greater effort.
"Yes, Yushu will make arrangements for the three of them."
Yushu nodded obediently, indicating that she would immediately carry out Wang Hao's orders.
"That's enough for now, you may leave."
After returning the book of records to Yushu, Wang Hao dismissed her, while he picked up the box full of secret manuals and eagerly headed into the inner room.
Although he had browsed through these manuals in the tomb, it was only a rough overview. He knew roughly what they contained, but he still needed time to carefully study and comprehend them.
Standing there, Yushu watched Wang Hao's retreating figure, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing, instead giving a self-deprecating smile.
" Yushu, Yushu, how can you now be worthy of a true Hero like your benefactor?"
She originally intended to repay Wang Hao's life-saving grace and seek revenge by using her own body, but...
Yushu took one last deep look at Wang Hao as he entered the inner room, sighed, turned around, and left the room to arrange the matters Wang Hao had instructed her to attend to.
Wang Hao, who had entered the inner room, was unaware of the thoughts of the beautiful woman behind him; at this moment, all his attention was focused on these secret manuals.
With the help of his powerful memory enhanced by the True Spirit Sword Intent, Wang Hao finally memorized all the secret manuals after two days, not even letting go of the bamboo slips.
After all, the most precious thing in the world is the transmission of knowledge, and learning more can never hurt.
For example, if he had known some divination techniques or knowledge of traps and mechanisms when he went to the Eastern Heretic's tomb this time, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state, or even faced life-threatening situations several times.
But to memorize so much at once...
