In the sixteenth year of Emperor Wu’s reign.

Emperor Wu, known for his bold strategies and wise appointment of officers, handled state affairs meticulously. As time passed, the Great Zhou Empire grew increasingly prosperous.

The monarch of the fallen Western Spring Country watched as the Great Zhou flourished, becoming increasingly disheartened. Eventually, he fell seriously ill, and despite the efforts of imperial doctors, his illness was beyond cure. He passed away.

However, the people of the Western Spring Country had long forgotten the grudges and hatred of the past, as they had been living peacefully and happily. Many even began to take pride in their identity as citizens of the Great Zhou Empire.

Emperor Wu of Zhou was talented and broad-minded, and the development of the Great Zhou was extremely smooth. Meanwhile, General Zhou Biliang, who had put down the Western Spring Country, had been idle in the Capital for four years.

Yet, Emperor Wu continued to bestow favor upon him, never caring about accusations of being overshadowed by his achievements. Emperor Wu even publicly declared, “The territory of the Great Zhou is not limited to this. With my right-hand man here, what great matter cannot be accomplished?”

Those with ulterior motives attacked Zhou Biliang with sarcasm, while Emperor Wu openly praised and teased Zhou Biliang in court.

“You martial man, you stay in the capital, don’t even think about concealing your clumsiness. I am no incompetent ruler. Remember to keep your sword polished. 1 am waiting for the time to draw it once again.”

Upon hearing these words, the military noblemen were even more excited. It was clear that Emperor Wu was not satisfied with the current territory and his grand gesture was truly fitting of a wise ruler.

While the people of the Great Zhou Empire were united in their ambition and the country was thriving, Liang Sheng was still struggling to create Qi refining pills.

On the outskirts of the capital, twenty miles away from Zhou Village, in the heart of the forest.

At this moment, Liang Sheng carefully performed the last hand gesture, then closely watched the pill furnace in front of him, a hint of excitement in his heart.

The next moment, the furnace lid opened, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.

The Qi refining pills were finally ready!

After five years, Liang Sheng finally crafted the first batch of Qi refining pills in his life. Although the current success rate for crafting Qi refining pills was still less than one in ten, where one could only be successful once in every ten attempts, once there’s a first, there would be a second. Would the next successful pill still be far off?

However, upon seeing the Qi refining pills that he had crafted, Liang Sheng didn’t choose to take them directly. Instead, he stuck to his old habits and found a prisoner sentenced to death.

At this moment, Liang Sheng watched the prisoner closely. Previously, he had forced the prisoner to take a Qi refining pill. The next moment, the prisoner’s eyes bulged, and he began to circulate his energy.

The prisoner’s cultivation was only at the Postnatal Sixth Realm. However, this time, the energy within his body circulated faster and faster. The next moment, his energy surged!

The barrier that prevented one from advancing from the Sixth Realm to the High-level Martial Arts Realm was instantly broken under the impact of the power of the Qi refining pill. It was clear that the power of the Qi refining pill was on a different level.

The energy within the prisoner’s body wasn’t exhausted yet. He continued to cultivate until his cultivation level stabilized at the Post-Natal “Eighth” Level.

By the time he opened his eyes, his gaze full of disbelief, he had already broken through to the Post-Natal “Eighth” Level, all thanks to a single pill.

If he knew Liang Sheng’s view, he would be even more shocked. In fact, only 40% of the power of the Qi refining pill had been absorbed by the prisoner, with the remaining wasted.

Nevertheless, the Qi refining pills that Liang Sheng crafted helped the prisoner break through from the Postnatal Sixth Realm to the Post-Natal “Eighth” Level. The prisoner, who had been excited, looked at Liang Sheng with increasing fear. What kind of person was this mysterious old man before him?

Three days later, as Liang Sheng saw the prisoner hopping around with no adverse reactions, he relaxed. Under the incredulous gaze of the prisoner, he sent him to beyond.

This time, without hesitating, Liang Sheng consumed the Qi refining pills that he had crafted in his quiet room. Half an hour later, he opened his eyes, his expression part joy and part helplessness.

He was happy because the Qi refining pills he crafted did have effects, but what made him helpless was that the power of these pills was less than 70% of the Qi refining pills brought by Zhou Yun in the past.

Whether this was due to the quality of the materials or a problem with his crafting technique was unknown, but it was good news nonetheless.

Following that, Liang Sheng’s life became even more routine. He alternated between cultivation, talisman drawing, pill refining, training in curse imprinting techniques, and occasionally, when he felt restless, he would listen to music at brothels to cultivate his mind and spirit.

The seventeenth year of Emperor Wu’s reign.

Zhou Hua passed away peacefully at home. Liang Sheng arranged a grand funeral for him, as he deserved such treatment.

After this, Liang Sheng gradually reduced his number of outings. The mansion of Zhou Village’s Ancestor was still the most venerated place for the descendants of the Zhou Family. However, no one knew that due to Zhou Hua’s death, Liang Sheng had personally stationed himself at Xigu Pass.

The power of the Great Zhou Empire continued to rise steadily, but Emperor Wu did not issue any orders to conquer other countries, as he had not yet received a signal from Liang Sheng.

Liang Sheng had visited the Imperial Palace a few times, but Emperor Wu hadn’t made any rash moves, because he hadn’t received clear instructions from Liang Sheng.

The stronger he grew, the more Emperor Wu realized how terrifying his family’s ancestor was. He even vaguely felt that the ancestor could be a godlike entity, otherwise, why would his lifespan be so long?

The Great Zhou Imperial Family, unaware of the existence of the Hua Tian Sect, could only guess about the identity of their ancestor. When the Zhou family ascended the throne, Liang Sheng had separated the Zhou family into two factions, effectively separating the imperial power from the sect.

However, Liang Sheng had considered that once he was capable, he would compensate the Zhou family. Although the Zhou family had already reached the peak of the secular world, Liang Sheng had his own way of handling things, as long as it satisfied his conscience..
