In the days that followed, Xu Guang stayed at the Xiang Family. With the Spirit Crystals compensated by the Shen Family, he had no plans to go out in the short term.

He began to attempt the refining of the Golden Core and research on Feng Shui.

"Master! Someone asked me to give this to you."

Du Shizhen cheerfully approached Xu Guang and handed him something.

It was a bright, blood-red stone.

General Wei, who was nearby, lifted his head, able to sense that it was Dragon Blood.

"Who gave it to you?"

"Someone from the Li Family. Oh, they also said they wanted to meet you."

Xu Guang thought for a moment and accepted the Dragon Blood.

"You can stay here and study at the Xiang Family. I asked the Xiang Family Master to help set up a school here, and you'll set an example when the time comes."

Nowadays, gaining Experience Points while being outside is essential.

Xu Guang liked nurturing children because he could gain enough experience joyfully.

Most importantly, this method was the most effortless and worry-free.

Returning to the small courtyard prepared by the Xiang Family, Xu Guang guided Du Shizhen in his current cultivation, feeling full and satisfied.

Xu Guang took out the harvest from this trip, sitting in the courtyard, listening to the bird calls overhead and the various sounds from the ground.

He fell into silence.

The first thing he studied was the Feng Shui inheritance from the Shen Family, which involved stars.

There were over thirty books; more than ten covered theory, and the rest were about techniques and methods using stars.

Gradually, Xu Guang became absorbed in it.

Star Power is a force often overlooked by people.

The sun, moon, and stars — among them, the stars are the most distant, the most numerous.

"Marvelous."

Xu Guang read a general summary and found it marvelous.

For some aspects, even a Level 9 Feng Shui Master would find them challenging to understand.

'Then let's upgrade first.'

He cleared all the Experience Points he had left, raising his Feng Shui Master profession to Level 12.

The obscure problems in Star Feng Shui quickly became comprehensible to Xu Guang.

This Feng Shui differs from the Feng Shui inheritance he previously encountered. The Qiankun Small Array mainly creates wonders by altering Feng Shui.

While this one aligns more with the Daoist Feng Shui philosophy, adapting to the natural forces.

It makes sense, as this Feng Shui doesn't rely heavily on suppression objects; the key lies in stars, and surely stars can't be moved?

In the afternoon, Xu Guang put down the books and began practicing the Twenty-four Solar Terms Sword and Meridian Divine Fist.

Entering the Innate Techniques was simpler than he imagined. During the journey through Changsong Prefecture, he had already successfully entered, and even the Twenty-four Solar Terms Sword had been improved to Level 3.

This Sword Technique can be practiced by both Yin Yang Innates, but it demands very high criteria from the user.

For Yang Innates, it requires the martial artist to have control over Qi Force, physical robustness, flexibility, and strong Spiritual Power.

For Yin Innates, it demands swift manipulation of the Power of Heaven and Earth and also requires high Spiritual Power.

Once Yin Five Elements Innate is mastered, it can unfold an attack similar to the legendary Sword Control, using the coordination of Spiritual Power and Power of Heaven and Earth to drive the Twenty-four Swords.

And after mastering Yang Innate, although the scene is not as graceful and dashing as the Yin Five Elements Innate, it is more dangerously mysterious because opponents will never know what kind of sword you will draw to launch an attack.

'I wonder where my senior sister got this Sword Technique from; for ordinary people to succeed in cultivation, the difficulty is too great.'

Adding points to Martial Techniques may not demand resources like adding points to Fundamental Techniques, but adding too many points in a short time can cause strain on the body. Unless the situation is urgent, Xu Guang wouldn't push the limits like this.

Going with the flow, aligning one's understanding with the levels provided by the panel is the most essential.

The panel is, after all, just assistance.

...

In the morning, Xu Guang took out a stack of letters and handed them all to Xiang Chunxiang.

"Deliver these letters to the Li Family, Gongsun Family, and Han Family."

Xiang Chunxiang was stunned, not knowing the purpose of Xu Guang's actions.

Xu Guang didn't let him wonder for long and directly took out a draft letter.

It was written with vermillion, resembling fresh blood, with some flowing traces.

"I've heard that the Li Family has many experts, and Li Yun in the clan is reputed as the foremost prodigy in Zuo Chuan. There is dissatisfaction in my heart; my master's nephew Lin Zushan has a celestial demeanor, finds your presence displeasing, hopes you submit; if not, he will kill."

Below was the date and signature.

"December 15th, the night of the full moon."

The middle section was quite blunt, essentially saying that I've taken a liking to you and want to deal with you.

Xiang Chunxiang's mouth dropped open, his expression somewhat stunned.

"This…"

"Isn't it inappropriate?"

Xu Guang chuckled lightly, "Mr. Xiang, just deliver the letter."

Since these families had done things in the shadows, they must pay the price.

Before Xiang Chunxiang left, Xu Guang spoke again.

"Start the countdown after the letters are delivered; if the three families don't respond within a day, spread the letters throughout the city. I want by the end of the day for everyone in Chuannan Prefecture to know about this affair."

Xiang Chunxiang silently nodded, looking at Xu Guang with a hint of fear.

What a… ruthless person!

How you treat me, I will treat you back the same.

If you want to make me famous, I will make you famous too.

Once the letters are sent, these three families will surely stand at the forefront of the storm. Facing the challenge might lead to death, not facing it would make them the laughingstock of the entire city.

But why use Lin Zushan's name?

...

In Xie Xuan's small courtyard in Chuannan Prefecture.

Jiang Bai sat by the stove, warming himself while watching the fish roast over the fire.

Xie Xuan looked on helplessly.

The Shen Family had agreed to something with the Taiyi Alliance; the matter of the Shen Family was settled by the Taiyi Alliance, which also meant the Taiyi Alliance owed a favor to the Jiang Family and Jiufeng Mountain.
