These items, he purchased from the black market, spending over a thousand silver taels.

The research, study, and preparation of poisons not only take time but are also extremely costly.

Poisons that can affect the Marrow Refining Realm are terrifyingly expensive, and the necessary herbs for their preparation start at nearly a hundred silver taels.

Dong dong.

Dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door from outside.

“Wait a moment, I’ll be right there.”

Lin Zheyu called out loudly, carefully tidying up the poisons on the stone table.

These poisons are very potent, even he must be extremely cautious. Otherwise, a small mistake could lead to poisoning.

A few minutes later, after putting away all the poisons, Lin Zheyu finally went to open the door.

“Master!”

Seeing the familiar face, Lin Zheyu exclaimed in surprise.

“Not bad, you look a lot sturdier.”

Liang Song patted Lin Zheyu’s chest and said with a smile.

The time he spent teaching Lin Zheyu was actually not much, less than half a year.

Liang Song often felt that he was not a very competent mentor.

“Master, come in and have a seat.”

Lin Zheyu welcomed Liang Song into the courtyard, took out some tea leaves from the house, and began brewing tea.

Time flew by, and it had been almost a year since his master left.

Upon reuniting as master and disciple, Lin Zheyu felt no sense of estrangement.

“Master, have you finished dealing with your matters?” Lin Zheyu asked with a smile.

“Yes, and I have to thank you for your help this time.”

“I didn’t expect that the disciple I took on out of boredom would not only be a martial arts genius but also provide me with such assistance.”

“The workings of the world are truly marvelous.”

Liang Song couldn’t help but express his emotions.

Initially, he took Lin Zheyu as a disciple because he liked his disposition and was fond of the stories Lin Zheyu wrote.

Unexpectedly, the carefully planned revenge was almost thwarted by his own impulsiveness.

Yet, the unintended disciple helped him achieve his revenge.

“Master, you’re too kind.”

“If it weren’t for you back then, I might still be struggling to survive in Songyi City, and wouldn’t have today’s opportunities.”

Lin Zheyu said earnestly.

These words were sincere.

Only through truly engaging with martial arts can one understand how challenging it is for an outsider to get started.

Even if one can buy third-rate martial arts manuals, reaching the Peak of Refining Internal Organs is the limit, with the Qi Blood Realm being the utmost goal.

The subsequent Qi Blood Realm skills are even more troublesome.

The black market does not allow the public sale of Qi Blood Realm skills.

To buy Qi Blood Realm skills, one not only needs a lot of money but also some luck to find them.

Without Liang Song, Lin Zheyu might not have accumulated enough silver taels to purchase Qi Blood Realm skills.

“Hehe…”

Liang Song smiled with relief.

The tea was ready, and Lin Zheyu poured a cup for his master.

“Master, did you avenge your grievances? If not, I can ask that elder to help you resolve it.” Lin Zheyu asked.

“No need, I’ve dealt with my past enemies.”

“Being recognized by that elder is your good fortune.”

“The Central Plains Region is not like here; the competition is extremely fierce. When you get there, you must keep a low profile, not show off, and not be too outstanding.

If necessary, you must hide your skills. The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be blown down by the wind, understand?”

Liang Song said earnestly.

This world is extremely dangerous. Outstanding talent is both a blessing and a curse.

Being too remarkable without sufficient strength and background can easily invite jealousy and covetousness from others.

“Hmm, thank you for your guidance, Master.” Lin Zheyu said.

“The Central Plains is a grand stage. With your talent, you’ll eventually become a significant figure.”

“By the way, how did you know I was here?”

Liang Song asked curiously, taking a sip of tea.

In Songyi City, not many people were aware of his matters, only one or two friends knew.

And those few friends hadn’t been introduced to Lin Zheyu, and Lin Zheyu was unlikely to have interacted with them.

“I heard about it from Mr. Chen Peijun.”

“By chance, I found Mr. Chen Peijun through a friend to learn about Poison Tao.”

“From the old man, I discovered he knew you, and after many inquiries, he told me about you.”

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

“I see.”

“I knew that old rogue was unreliable; I specifically told him not to tell you back then.” Liang Song said, shaking his head.

Lin Zheyu smiled but didn’t reply.

It seemed that Liang Song and Mr. Chen Peijun had a good relationship.

“I haven’t seen you in so long; what is your current strength?”

Liang Song looked at Lin Zheyu and couldn’t help asking.

Not having seen him for so long, he was particularly curious about what level this extraordinarily talented disciple had reached.

“I managed to break through to the Refining Internal Organ Realm.” Lin Zheyu said.

“In one year, from never having practiced martial arts to reaching the Refining Internal Organ Realm, it’s truly an extraordinary talent. No wonder you’ve caught the attention of powerful figures from the Central Plains.”

Liang Song couldn’t help but marvel.

One year indeed, it was truly incredible.

If this lad had started practicing martial arts from a young age and received focused training from a renowned teacher, his achievements would be astonishing.

If he continues to maintain this momentum, he might have the chance to cultivate to Qi Blood Six Transformations or even Seven Transformations, and then break through to the Marrow Refining Realm.

“Your talent is impressive. If possible, try to cultivate to Qi Blood Six Transformations, or even Seven Transformations, and then break through to the Marrow Refining Realm.”
