It's not uncommon for martial artists to suffer from tuberculosis.
The Fishing Toad Force can refine internal organs directly with Primordial Energy, removing internal impurities and hidden injuries, making it a rare Dharma Gate in the Otherworld.
Furthermore...
Even when Master Zhang was alive, he feared he couldn't squander like Fang Zheng, with a vast amount of Primordial Energy continuously pouring into the internal organs.
The Fishing Toad Force was operating at an astonishing speed.
Only with the Nourishing Essence Pill from this world could he support such actions.
After a long ti.
"Phew..."
Fang Zheng opened his eyes, his gaze sharp and spirited.
The liver enhances vision.
As the power of the Five Viscera strengthens, the external Essence Qi, Spirit, and Vitality will also appear different. Once Internal Organ Refining is successful, a vigorous vitality will erge.
This...
Refining the Skin and Bone Refining cannot compare.
Those who practice Internal Organ Refining can extend their lifespan, while those who focus on the skin and bones may not live long, as skin and flesh consu energy while the Five Viscera nurture Essence.
Like Fang Zheng.
Even though he has achieved the second stage of Martial Dao, Power into the Marrow, he doesn't dare use it often because it exhausts the body's origin.
If the Five Viscera reaches mastery, there will be no such concern.
"It's worth it!"
Putting away the cultivation technique, Fang Zheng's eyes flickered:
"If I could have a hundred or eighty Nourishing Essence Pills, I estimate I could directly beco a Three Blood Martial Artist. If I had known, I would've agreed to Zhang Mingrui."
Of course, these are just words. Even with two more Nourishing Essence Pills, he wouldn't leave, staying quietly in the town is the right way.
"Nourishing Essence Pill, Nourishing Essence Pill, just one increases my strength significantly. I wonder where I should start next?"
The conversation with Zhang Mingrui today wasn't pleasant. Although Zhang's personality likely wouldn't dwell on it, continuing to acquire Nourishing Essence Pills will certainly bring more trouble.
"Forget it!"
"Take it step by step. As long as I have money, why worry about not getting dicine?"
A few days later.
Zhang Mingrui, along with Qingfeng and the Ling Family, set out on a journey of several days, during which the Nourishing Essence Pill was out of reach.
And the second Nourishing Essence Pill was also consud by Fang Zheng.

In the evening.
"Soone wants to buy a house in Xielou Lane?"
Fang Zheng looked up at Wu Hai:
"Who is it?"
He currently resides at the forr Sun Family Mansion, now the Fang Mansion, with Wu Hai also moving in, leaving the property in Xielou Lane vacant.
"Two won." Wu Hai bowed:
"They're outside. Would the Master like to see them?"
"Hmm." Fang Zheng thought for a mont, then nodded:
"Very well!"
A vacant house is still vacant. Without soone living there, it might waste away. If the tenants can maintain it well, he wouldn't mind leasing it out.
Hmm...
Here, it's common to buy outright, not to lease.
After a short while.
"I am Jin Shu."
"I am Liu Qinghuan."
The two won bowed respectfully:
"Greetings, Young Master Fang."
Jin Shu was tall, dressed in a long gown and a thin veil over her face, though her features were obscured, her dignified and elegant deanor couldn't be concealed.
Liu Qinghuan had delicate features, with bright, expressive eyes and vibrant clothes, looking very lively.
These two should not be from ordinary families. Their elegant walk and graceful bows were pleasing to the eyes.
To be honest.
Fang Zheng had been in the Otherworld for quite so ti and had seen so so-called upper-crust individuals, but never t anyone as graceful as these two won.
Elegant, gentle, and ek, especially Jin Shu with her face covered by a thin veil, was like a lady from a novel.
One dignified, one adorable; such people should be cared for in prestigious mansions, living a life without worries, so why would they buy a house in Xielou Lane?
"Please, sit."
Fang Zheng gestured with his hand, a flicker of curiosity in his eyes, cordially saying:
"Jin Shu, Jin Shu, who in the clouds sends a brocade letter? When the geese return, the moon is full in the western building. You have chosen a fine na."
"These words..." The veil on Jin Shu's face swayed slightly, her voice carrying a hint of wonder:
"Young Master has a way with words!"
"Uh..." Fang Zheng's expression stiffened slightly:
"That wasn't composed by , just sothing I happened to hear."
"I see." Jin Shu nodded:
"May I inquire who the esteed author is? Could I perhaps et them?"
"I'm afraid it's not convenient." Fang Zheng shook his head.
"Truly a pity."
Jin Shu sighed softly.
"Young Master Fang, my sister's na is well-chosen, but isn't mine as good?" Liu Qinghuan's lively eyes turned, her voice ringing like a lodious oriole:
"Ever since I was young, everyone I've known has said my na sounded beautiful."
"Of course." Fang Zheng smiled:
"Snow froth in the dayti bowl, green reeds and wormwood sprouts try the spring platter. The real flavor of the world is Qinghuan. The 'Qinghuan' in your na is elegant and transcendent, truly extraordinary."
The real flavor of the world is Qinghuan?
These words...
The two won were stunned, even the lively and outgoing Liu Qinghuan froze in place, an unexpected lancholy quietly rising in their hearts.
"Great words!"
"Great words!"
Jin Shu praised twice, her voice filled with solitude:
"Young Master is most talented!"
"These weren't composed by either."
"Whether they were or weren't, does it really matter?" Liu Qinghuan laughed:
"Anyway, my sister and I hadn't heard them before."
"Young Master." Jin Shu gently patted Liu Qinghuan's hand, speaking slowly:
"I won't hide it from you, both Qinghuan and I are daughters of disgraced officials, originally from the Imperial Music Bureau, and we regained our freedom only thanks to last year's amnesty from His Majesty."
"Over the years, we have saved so money, but we're not planning to continue in that line of work, so we ca here far from our holand."
"We only wish..."
"To live quietly and peacefully."
"After entering the city, we heard that there was a vacant property in Xielou Lane, so we ca uninvited, hoping Young Master Fang wouldn't mind."
She explained everything in detail, including their identities, with complete honesty.
"I see." Fang Zheng realized:
"I understand your thoughts. It's nice to change places and ways of living. I have no problem with selling that house."
Coming from the Imperial Music Bureau, no wonder they carried themselves so elegantly, yet they had little money.
"Oh?" Liu Qinghuan looked surprised:
"Young Master Fang, you... don't think our status is disgraceful?"
She had encountered many who were polite at first, but once they knew their identities, their attitudes would change imdiately.
Their eyes filled with undisguised greed.
The Imperial Music Bureau,
was essentially a more refined brothel!
But this young master's gaze remained clear and untainted throughout, unchanged by their past.
"The wrongs of the predecessors, the descendants bear the consequences, it can't be blad on themselves." Fang Zheng spoke:
"You needn't mind it."
"We've long co to terms with it, but the people we et differ." Jin Shu gently shook her head, her voice tinged with emotion:
"Young Master Fang..."
"Is different from the others."
"Haha..." Fang Zheng chuckled awkwardly:
"The day is drawing to an end, shall we discuss the sale of the house?"
"Yes." Jin Shu nodded:
"Forgive for being sentintal. How much does Young Master plan to sell it for?"
"How about twenty taels?" Fang Zheng said:
"That's the market price."
The two won exchanged a glance. Liu Qinghuan pursed her lips, lightly pinching the hem of her dress, and said:
"Could it be a bit cheaper?"
"Cheaper?" Fang Zheng frowned:
"Why don't you offer a price?"
"Then..." Liu Qinghuan cautiously held up a finger:
"Ten taels of silver?"
"Impossible!" Fang Zheng shook his head:
"That's not the price."
"Young Master." Jin Shu suddenly spoke:
"Twenty taels are indeed a bit steep for us. Could you consider fifteen taels, and we will perform a piece as a token of gratitude?"
"Right." Liu Qinghuan's eyes lit up, nodding enthusiastically:
"Young Master Fang, where we played before... a single song earned far more than twenty taels of silver."
"Really?" Fang Zheng raised his brows, intrigued:
"I'm interested to hear."
...
anwhile...
Several figures silently appeared near the Ling Family Mansion.
At this ti, the Ling Family's experts had all left, leaving no defenses.
