Chapter 180: Chapter 1: The Eighth Grade Prominent Family (New Chapter on Monday Seeking Recommendations )_2

“Young man, if you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense.” Tenant farmer Old Liu scolded, “Pearl Orchid Mansion is a place worth its weight in gold, both land and property prices are rising every year, many wealthy people in Changning also come to Pearl Orchid Mansion to buy houses and land as second homes. Leaving aside other matters of fengshui, the presence of the Level Three Guardian Spirit Beast at Zhuwei Lake alone is enough to justify the high prices there.”

A Level Three Guardian Spirit Beast?

The young peddler was horrified, but couldn’t resist his curiosity and began chatting with Old Liu, the tenant farmer. The more they talked, the more shocking it was; Ping’an Town was much more powerful and wealthy than he had imagined.

“Do you see that young gentleman clad in brocade cloth?” Tenant farmer Old Liu pointed at a young man patrolling the docks. Wherever he went, soldiers would salute him.

“Is that… a direct descendant of the Wang family?”

“Indeed, he is a young master of the Wang family, from a branch lineage.”

“My goodness, even a branch lineage carries such power. This Ping’an Wang family is truly extraordinary.”

“Of course, our Ping’an Wang Family is an Eighth Grade Prominent Family, and the clan leader’s wife also comes from the Eighth Grade Prominent Family of Shanyin – The Yinyu Family. A strong union like this is not going to be simple.”

The young peddler was suddenly filled with reverence. An Eighth Grade Prominent Family should have at least three Spiritual Platforms, and the combined strength of these two families should include at least six Realm Cultivators. Truly powerful indeed.

The visitors on the ferry, independent cultivators, peddlers, etc. were orderly checking or preparing their paperwork while going through the gate.

Suddenly,

An unexpected event occurred amid the orderliness.

From a distance, a stout Profound Martial expert rushed towards a ferry about to leave the port. None of the soldiers who tried to stop him could match him; they were all punched and kicked away.

“My goodness, that’s an expert, probably on the Seventh Level of the Qi Refinement Realm.”

The crowd was astounded and discussing fervently. It was extremely rare for an Independent Cultivator to have reached such a stage, and it appeared that he had significant fighting ability.

Suddenly!

“You injured someone in my Ping’an Town, and you dare to run?”

A young man, chasing even faster, intercepted him. Not only was this young man extremely quick, but while flying over, he was like a willow catkin in the wind. He was very elegant and spirited.

While the soldiers were hindering.

In just a few breaths, the young man caught up with the middle-aged independent cultivator. The young man’s blade moves were like strong gusts of wind, opening with strong bright white light radiating.

This handsome young man’s movement technique and fighting technique, was the Wang family’s secret transmission, the middle-grade body method “Willow Catkin Body Method”, and the middle-grade sword technique “Wang Family’s Xuan Yuan Sword”.

His fluid performance, making it apparent that he was at a stage of minor accomplishment.

“Wang Shou Yong!”

The middle-aged independent cultivator shouted angrily, “So what if I injured someone while eating? You chased me for several ten miles, do you take me for a pushover?”

He drew a blade, his blade style was brutal and dominating, evidently not someone to be trifled with.

This person, among Independent Cultivators, was not weak in both Martial Techniques and cultivation levels.

The two were battling fiercely, seemingly evenly matched.

Some soldiers and guards of lower strength did not dare to interfere.

“That’s young master Wang Shou Yong from the Wang Family, the fifth son!” Many people recognized the young man’s identity and were cheering him on, “Go on, fifth young master, take down that independent cultivator!”

“My, my.” The young peddler was astounded, “This Fifth Young Master looks just about twenty years old, right? He is already at the Seventh Level of Qi Refinement Realm, and his cultivation technique is so solid. He could probably reach the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm by his forties. He may very well reach the Spiritual Platform in his lifetime.”

“Of course, the young masters and young ladies of our Wang Family are all top­notch.”

Encouraged by the crowd, Wang Shou Yong got braver and braver in the battle, slowly gaining the upper hand.

Wang Family’s Xuan Yuan Secret Technique was a middle-grade cultivation method. As it progressed, the mysterious energy became more profound and powerful, and he could continue to battle without fatigue, showing astonishing endurance.

The independent cultivator saw that he couldn’t hold on much longer,

Suddenly, he pulled out a handful of red sand from his pocket and flung it, shouting, “Take this, Poison Sand!”

Wang Shou Yong was taken aback and quickly retreated. His swordplay didn’t allow even a drop of water to pass through and he precisely blocked the Poison Sand. Unfortunately, he was tricked. The so-called Poison Sand were nothing more than ordinary red sand particles.

The Independent Cultivator had already taken the opportunity to flee, charging towards a ferry which had already left the port.

“Damn it!” Wang Shou Yong realised the trick too late, it was too late to chase him. If he rushed onto the ferry to fight with him, he was afraid he would hurt the innocent.

“Hahaha!” The Independent Cultivator laughed maniacally, “Let’s see if you dare chase me onto the boat. Once I’m out of here, I’ll never set foot in Ping’an Town again…”

But his words were abruptly cut off, and his mad dash came to a sudden halt.

His face was filled with shock and fear, and cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

A young girl, about eighteen or nineteen, dressed in a yellow martial arts robe, stood in between him and the ferry.

She stood with her hands behind her back, her casual presence alone put a stop to all the Independent Cultivator’s movements.

Her expression was calm and indifferent, not even giving the Independent Cultivator a second glance. The invisible pressure made him feel weak at the knees.

“Wang… Wang… Wang Luoqiu!” The Independent Cultivator’s eyes were filled with terror and despair.

“The sixth Miss has come!”

Someone in the crowd immediately cried out excitedly, “That Independent Cultivator is really unlucky to have bumped into the sixth Miss. I heard the sixth Miss has already reached the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Realm!”

“That’s old news, the Sixth Miss had already reached the eighth level of Qi Refinement Realm before the new year.”

“My goodness, Sixth Miss was only eighteen last year. Her Cultivation speed is terrifying!”

“Not only is the Sixth Miss cultivation quick, her Profound Martial Fighting Technique is even more dangerous. She’s said to possess the terrifying strength to fight beyond her level.”

The murmurs did nothing but sink the Independent Cultivator’s heart even lower.

Having hung around Ping’an Town for over a year, he was no stranger to the name of Wang Luoqiu, the sixth child of the Wang family’s Luo Generation.

However, he had no intention of surrendering. With a wave of his steel knife, he lashed out at Wang Luoqiu: “Wang Luoqiu, if you want to live, step aside!” He didn’t believe that this young girl possessed outstanding combat abilities.

No matter what, he had killed Fierce Beasts in the outer regions before. His Profound Martial Fighting Techniques were naturally ferocious!

“Sigh, idiot.”

Wang Luoqiu sighed, shaking her head as she leisurely stepped forward.

With each step, Wang Luoqiu seemed to close the distance instantaneously. She was already in front of him and effortlessly landed a punch on his chest.

“Boom!”

The Independent Cultivator was knocked back up in the air as if he had been hit by a heavy blow from a Fierce Beast. He flew back several meters before crashing into the ground. His chest was sunken in, and he was unable to get up, twitching on the ground and continuously coughing up blood.

The spectators gasped in surprise, going silent. They all knew that Sixth Miss Wang Luoqiu was formidable, but no one had imagined just how formidable she was.

With a single punch…

Just one single punch, and she completely defeated the formidable Independent Cultivator.

At that moment, the young hero Wang Shou Yong rushed over and said awkwardly, “Thank you for your help, Miss Luoqiu. It would’ve been troublesome if that thief had managed to get on the boat.”

“Wang Shou Yong, you were fooled by such a simple thing?” Wang Luoqiu was disappointed, her eyebrows knitted together. “You have disappointed our fourth brother’s expectation, go and apologize to him.”

“Yes, I’ll lock this man up in the prison first, and then immediately go and apologize to my fourth brother.” Wang Shou Yong nodded solemnly, his face bitter.

“Hmph.” Wang Luoqiu snorted, turned her back on him, and walked away.

Wang Shou Yong knew his sister’s temper and didn’t dare to delay. He quickly captured the man and threw him into the town guardhouse prison.

Then, without stopping, he returned to the Wang family’s main residence and rushed to his fourth brother’s courtyard.

As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he was filled with fear and humiliation, and his pace faltered.

But even before he could decide what to do, a gentle but authoritative voice resounded from within the courtyard, “Fifth child, how long do you intend to stand outside my courtyard pondering. Come in.”

Wang Shou Yong trembled, hastily straightened his posture and responded with respect, “Yes, fourth brother.”

As he walked into the courtyard with mixed feelings, he couldn’t help but think how his brother, more than ever, was becoming more powerful and inscrutable.

It felt like the more he chased, the more unfathomable his fourth brother became.

He was standing outside the courtyard, and was easily noticed by his brother.
