Advising Brother to Be Gentle...

Translator: CinderTL

Deputy Leader Sun's face turned cold, no longer wearing the amiable smile he had during business dealings. "Xu Sanyan, you're courting death!"

With that, a faint blue light emanated from his palms as he struck directly toward Xu Sanyan's chest.

The other three also unleashed their techniques, charging into the crowd. From behind the mourning hall, people wielding swords and knives rushed out one after another, joining the battle.

Xu Sanyan narrowed his eyes, slightly curious as he observed Deputy Leader Sun's bare hands. He had never seen such a peculiar martial art before.

"Xu Sanyan, does the leader's death have anything to do with you?" Deputy Leader Sun questioned.

"If you can withstand three moves from me, I'll tell you."

Xu Sanyan smirked, his long knife still sheathed. He simply stood in place, gathering strength. Suddenly, he threw a fierce punch directly at the palm coming toward him.

"Boom!"

A dull thud echoed as Deputy Leader Sun was sent flying, his right arm twisted at an unnatural angle, his hand shattered, revealing jagged bone fragments.

"Ah!"

Deputy Leader Sun cried out in pain, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead as he clutched his broken arm, his eyes filled with fear as he stared at Xu Sanyan. What kind of monstrous strength was this?

He hadn't expected to be defeated in a single move!

Xu Sanyan felt the sensation of his punch, as if he had struck steel. Deputy Leader Sun's martial art was truly bizarre, capable of hardening his palm to such an extent.

"Old Sun!"

The old man swung his long knife, quickly arriving at Deputy Leader Sun's side to help him up. "Are you alright?"

"Be careful, his strength is unnatural."

Deputy Leader Sun staggered to his feet, his entire right arm crippled, along with the hand he had trained for years.

"Hmph, so what if he's strong? I don't believe he's immune to blades!" The old man snorted, charging forward with his knife, delivering a fierce slash aimed at splitting Xu Sanyan in two.

Xu Sanyan calmly watched him, his cool eyes reflecting the old man's movements.

Slow.

Too slow.

The old man's knife technique seemed like slow motion to him, easily dodged with ease.

Xu Sanyan's body shifted slightly, the long knife grazing past his forehead without even touching a single thread of his clothing.

The old man's eyes narrowed. Such speed!

He hadn't even seen Xu Sanyan's movement, yet the knife had been dodged, proving that their strength was not on the same level.

Xu Sanyan clenched his fists, delivering a swift strike to the old man's throat.

"Pfft!"

Blood gushed from the old man's mouth as he stared at Xu Sanyan in disbelief, unable to comprehend how he had been defeated in a single move.

Deputy Leader Sun's face paled at the sight. This man's strength was not only astonishing, but his speed far surpassed that of an ordinary person. Even if the four of them combined their strength, they might not be a match for Xu Sanyan.

Even if the leader were alive, he might not be a match either!

Run!

In a panic, Deputy Leader Sun turned to flee, but as soon as he did, a long knife pierced through his body. Xu Sanyan's voice echoed in his ears, "You didn't withstand three moves, so I can't tell you."

Deputy Leader Sun's face twisted in hatred, blood mixing with his words as he mumbled incoherently, "Hmph... you won't die a good..."

Xu Sanyan's eyes narrowed, his wrist twisting as the long knife flashed, and a large head fell to the ground.

"How rude."

...

Half an hour later, most of the Ginseng Gang disciples were dead, the rest either fleeing or surrendering. The battle was completely over.

Xu Sanyan pointed his knife at one of the minor leaders. "Take me to where the precious medicine is stored."

"Leader Xu, this way, please." The man trembled as he led the way.

Opening the Ginseng Gang's herb storage, shelves filled with neatly arranged herbs of various names greeted them.

Xu Sanyan followed him to the very back, where a small room stood. The minor leader pointed to the room and said, "Leader, this is where the precious medicine is stored."

"Go in and bring it out."

"Yes."

Soon, Xu Sanyan looked at the twelve boxes placed before him, his heart filled with excitement. With these precious medicines, he was not far from the Celestial Being Realm!

Xu Sanyan arranged for some people to clean up the battlefield and had the bodies of the four deputy leaders, along with the leader's body in the coffin, brought back home.

He didn't concern himself with what came next.

Returning home, Xu Sanyan eagerly consumed the twelve precious medicines. The "Vitality" on his panel reached eighteen points as he had hoped, but the plus sign behind his realm did not appear. It seemed it wasn't enough yet.

Bringing the five bodies into the secret chamber, as the bodies withered, drops of blood appeared on the knife handle.

Xu Sanyan swallowed them without hesitation, his body radiating waves of heat as his physical condition was enhanced once more.

"Precious medicine!"

Xu Sanyan muttered to himself. With three or four more precious medicines, it should be enough for a breakthrough. But where to find them?

Bai Wuxia and Zhu Yong probably still had some. He would try to buy a few tomorrow.

After wrapping the bones, Xu Sanyan sank them into the cesspit, clapped his hands, and returned to his room. Opening the door, he found Madam Wu sitting on a chair, having waited for some time.

Today, she was dressed simply, a grayish-white outer coat draped over her shoulders, paired with a light red short-sleeved shirt, revealing a section of her forearm.

Her hair was tied up at the back, secured tightly with a wooden hairpin, her face lightly powdered with rouge, her arms crossed over her abdomen as she sat upright on the chair.

Her fair, voluptuous thighs were covered with a thin blanket, her feet clad only in silk socks, her toes fidgeting restlessly.

She looked virtuous yet with a hint of sensuality.

Xu Sanyan smiled. "What should I call you today...?"

"Brother, don't you recognize your sister?" Madam Wu lifted her sleeve, pretending to wipe her eyes, putting on a heartbroken expression.

Xu Sanyan found it amusing and picked her up, heading toward the bed, saying, "It's my fault. Let your brother make amends for you."

Madam Wu, like a young girl, actually blushed, whispering softly, "Then you must advise your brother to be gentle..."

Moments later, the room was filled with high-pitched cries, a mix of pleasure and trembling, lasting until late at night.

Xu Sanyan sometimes couldn't figure out her true intentions.

Was it to offer herself in exchange for his protection for her and her child?

Or was it simply because she wanted to come?

...

The next morning, a ray of golden light pierced through the darkness.

Xu Sanyan was already practicing martial arts in the courtyard. As his realm grew higher, his need for rest decreased accordingly. He no longer needed to sleep as much, just two or three hours a day to replenish his energy.

After stretching his muscles, Xu Sanyan headed to the Bai residence, assuming Bai Wuxia would be up by this time.

In the Bai family's hall, the two leisurely sipped tea, neither mentioning the events at the Ginseng Gang.

Bai Wuxia put down his teacup, curiosity on his face. "There's something I don't understand. May I ask for your guidance, Brother Xu?"

Xu Sanyan picked up his teacup, smiling lightly. "Brother Bai, are you asking about the deaths of the four deputy leaders of the Ginseng Gang?"

"Exactly. Dare I ask if Brother Xu has broken through to the Inner Qi Peak Stage?" Bai Wuxia tilted his head, inquiring.

He had already heard about the events at the Ginseng Gang last night. Xu Sanyan had single-handedly defeated and killed all four deputy leaders.

It was worth noting that all four were at the Middle Stage of Internal Energy, which suggested that Xu Sanyan had likely made a breakthrough.

Reaching the Inner Qi Peak Stage wasn't particularly rare, but considering Xu Sanyan's youthful appearance, barely twenty years old, achieving such a breakthrough at this age was somewhat astonishing to the world.
