Chapter 32: Moving In and Paying Respects to the Luo Family

  But Wang Guang sat cross-legged on the stone bench, silently waiting for the arrival of the contact person. The few women cleaned up the broken silk on the ground and hastily covered their bodies before going down.

  These women had just gone down when the contact person appeared in front of Wang Guang.

  "Dao Chang, if you're willing, I can take you to the Imperial Ancestral Temple today."

  "That's it, just send me in today and that's all. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?" Wang Guang waved his hand with a smile on his face as he spoke to the contact person. He was very satisfied with the arrangement made by this contact person, so he didn't have a tense expression like yesterday.

  The matchmaker was delighted to see Wang Guang so easy-going and quickly led him out of the mansion, getting into a horse-drawn carriage. After turning several streets, they stopped in front of a magnificent building over a hundred feet high.

  Jumping down from the carriage, I saw that the building in front of me was extremely luxurious and exquisite, all made of unknown wood inlays. The doors, windows, pillars, and steps were all exquisitely carved with patterns of people or fierce beasts. There were practitioners standing on the clouds, and there were also demonic beasts rolling up in the whirlwind. Various lights were moving around this building, colliding from time to time, emitting a faint explosive sound.

  "Dao Chang, the imperial ancestral temple is not located within the imperial city, but rather has eighteen locations scattered around the outskirts of the imperial city to guard it. If there's any danger, it'll be easier to provide support from all directions." The person who received him saw that Wang Guang looked somewhat perplexed, so he hastily explained, "There aren't many powerful ancestral temples in this location, and if you go in, you won't be crowded out by others."

  "It's not bad either." Wang Guang nodded and jumped off the carriage. The contact person somehow managed to get a gold card from the guards who were guarding the building and handed it over to Wang Guang, explaining his residence in the building from now on, and after making everything clear, he ordered his servants to drive the carriage away.

  As soon as the person in charge left, his mind wandered and he didn't go to observe the building, but instead attached his attention to the guards guarding the building.

  Over a hundred guards, wearing heavy helmets and armor, holding four-foot-long knives, with a bloody aura rising to the sky. Ordinary people passing by here would make a big detour and not dare to get close to them.

  "He must be a seasoned veteran of the battlefield, this bloody aura is vastly different from the ones I've encountered in the Jianghu, and upon closer inspection, it's at least three to five times more ruthless than mine."

  As he pondered, Wang Guang entered the building. With a token in hand, no one blocked him, and the more than 100 guards stood still like puppets, not moving at all.

  "Boundless Heaven Venerable!" After entering the building, Wang Guang quickly found his own residence. The room was very spacious, not only with a quiet room for him to meditate and practice his breath, but also with simple equipment for refining instruments and alchemy. There were more than ten beautiful girls in elegant dress, tired of small hands giving you a massage, hungry cherry lips feeding you food, sleepy full breasts as pillows. It was truly comfortable and enjoyable.

  After driving the girls away, Wang Guang entered the quiet room alone. He didn't set up any profound seals either, but simply set up a few ordinary seals before starting to condense another wave of dark energy.

  Each time a dark cloud condensed, he would spit out a stream of green air that wrapped around the cloud. The green air wrapped around the cloud, constantly twisting and shrinking, and in no time at all, it had sealed away the cloud and stored it in his waist gourd.

  These dark thunders he personally refined were about the same as the third-grade dark thunders he had bought from the inner sect. They even consumed less spiritual energy.

  In this shrine, he stayed for over ten days, during which he didn't go out to wander around, but instead focused on meditation and practicing his internal energy, transporting the power of the law, and swallowing the essence of the sun and moon. When he was tired, he would find a woman to release his pent-up energy, and if it weren't for the task at hand, he would have thought that he had returned to his former days as the leader of a gang.

  It was on this day that Wang Guang had just polished his magical powers and was thinking about some methods for refining magic treasures when the door of his quiet room was suddenly knocked on.

  His train of thought was interrupted, and he immediately felt displeased. "Who is it that dares to disturb the Infinite Heaven Lord?"

  "Master! Someone outside wants to see you. He says he wants to make a deal with you." A woman, who usually suffered the most abuse from Wang Guang, trembled as she spoke at the door.

  "You damned thing, have you forgotten what I told you? Go back to your room and stand for a day and night, without eating or drinking anything. If you disobey my orders again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless." Wang Guang growled in a low voice with a ferocious expression.

  The woman outside the door kept responding, but still didn't dare leave.

  Wang Guang had also mixed with the rivers and lakes in his early years. With a turn of his mind, he knew what this woman's purpose was for coming here. It was either that she had received benefits from others or was threatened by someone else's life to be a messenger. Moreover, he was thinking of taking advantage of this opportunity to start doing the things that the Lidi Dao people had entrusted him with back then.

  "You made that person wait outside."

  After instructing these things, Wang Guang let out a low, cold laugh and continued to sit cross-legged in meditation. This time he stayed in the quiet room for three to five hours before finally lifting the seal and coming out.

  As he came out of the house, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on a chair beside him. The man was weak and pale, wearing a long green robe that made him look frail. His eyes were bright, and his face had a healthy glow. When he saw Wang Guang come out, he quickly stood up and bowed with his fists, opening his mouth to speak in a loud and clear voice, showing great spirit.

  "Master! Junior Luo..."

  "Shut up! What kind of deal do you want to make with me? My time is precious, and you can't afford to waste it. As for your name, I don't care to know and I'm too lazy to ask." Wang Guang flicked his sleeve, revealing a menacing glint in his eyes as he stared fiercely at the middle-aged man.

  "Daozhang! I was thinking of using a incomplete cultivation method to exchange for your assistance to our family." The middle-aged man didn't get angry, after all he also knew that these cultivators were all eccentric. So with a smiling face, he began to speak about his purpose in coming here. "As for how long we will assist our family, it's up to you Daozhang to decide."

  "You want me to risk my life for an incomplete technique? Is this technique a remnant of the ancient era? Bring it out and let me take a look, I'll help you with it later." Wang Guang sat down in the middle, looking very pleased with himself.

  "I'm sure Daozhang will be satisfied with the reward our family offers." The middle-aged man slowly took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket and placed it on the table, while the woman beside him handed the paper to Wang Guang for him to take a look.

  New paper, new ink, it seems like it was written not long ago.

  Wang Guang also ignored them and directly lowered his head to look at the paper in his hand.

  As he looked closely, there were hundreds of tiny characters written densely on it. Reading them in one breath made Wang Guang's heart gradually fill with doubt.

  "If I'm not mistaken, this is actually a cultivation method for divine powers. According to the records above, the power of this divine ability should be quite impressive. However, I am puzzled - you are just an ordinary family, how can you possess the divine abilities of Qi cultivators? This shouldn't belong to you." Wang Guang suddenly stood up, his hands clasped together, and two golden hand shadows appeared in mid-air, grabbing the paper. A fierce flame incinerated the paper, turning it into ashes that scattered all over the ground.

  "Golden Claw!" A middle-aged man beside him saw the slow disappearance of the golden hand shadow in front of Wang Guang, and suddenly shouted out: "I didn't expect that Daoist Master had cultivated a divine ability, I am truly admiring."

  "Stop bothering me with these things, whether I cultivate divine abilities or not, what's the use of you admiring? You come back and answer me, how did you people obtain the divine abilities recorded above? I remember that the divine abilities recorded above are placed in my sect, it is a secret transmission of my sect, ordinary Qi practitioners do not have the qualifications to cultivate, could it be that you harmed my fellow disciples and obtained these divine abilities from him?" Wang Guang shouted loudly.

  The middle-aged man and the women next to him saw Wang Guang shouting loudly, and their hearts suddenly became uneasy. Several women even sat on the ground with a thud, unable to get up again. This was because they were shocked by Wang Guang's ferocious face and the bloody aura emanating from his body.

  "Don't say any more, Master. This divine ability was passed down from our ancestors, but unfortunately, I lost part of the cultivation method. Today, I've written it down and want to show it to you, hoping to make a deal with you using this technique. If I really wanted to harm your fellow disciples' divine abilities, would I dare to bring it out for you to see?" The middle-aged man said in a low voice after calming himself.

  "Ah! You little scoundrel, you're wrong again. You don't even know which sect I belong to, and now that I've discovered this, how do you plan on compensating me? If not, I'll have no choice but to report this to my sect and let them handle your evil family's cruel treatment of Qi Refiners. That way, the world of Qi Refining can be a better place." Wang Guang shook his head, waving his duster and shouting with wide eyes.

  "The way is long, don't be impatient. I don't know what kind of compensation is needed, but my family, although not powerful, is willing to exhaust all our resources to compensate for the loss and pain caused to your sect." The middle-aged man spoke with a flattering tone while secretly cursing Wang Guang in his heart.

  He had seen many practitioners before, and his family also worshipped some. A practitioner as shameless as Wang Guang, this was still the first time he had seen one.

  However, he also knew that Wang Guang's words were actually agreeing to the transaction between the two parties.

  "I recently killed an evil cultivator who was about to condense his golden elixir, but due to his despicable methods, I let my guard down and he tainted my treasure. So, you can send some copper ingots over to help me repair it. This way, it's also a small compensation for your family killing one of my fellow disciples." Wang Guang opened his mouth and spouted nonsense.

  Although the middle-aged man with the surname Nuo knew that Wang Guang was talking nonsense, he saw the other party's eyes revealing a sinister glow and his face full of evil, so he didn't dare say anything, only continuously nodding in agreement.

  "First, bring me 100,000 catties of copper ingots! Meanwhile, send someone back to retrieve that incomplete Taoist scripture and return it to me. If you're sincere later on, I'll reluctantly lend you a hand. What do you think?"
