Luo Yang thought the one opening the door would be Suyun, so he greeted her as soon as the door cracked open, even before seeing the person behind it.
"Teacher Su..."
Hong Jiaxin, who was standing behind the door, laughed when Luo Yang called her Teacher Su.
When Luo Yang saw it was Hong Jiaxin, he smiled and said, "Class monitor, I want to talk to Teacher Su about something."
As he spoke, he glanced over Hong Jiaxin's figure.
Her back was to the light. Although he couldn't see her figure clearly, the blurred silhouette was even more intriguing to look at.
"What is it?" Hong Jiaxin asked.
"It's about the martial arts school opening tomorrow," Luo Yang replied.
"You can decide on that yourself, no need to ask us," she said.
As she spoke, she began to close the door.
Luo Yang reached out to push the door; with True Qi within him, even a casual push from him was stronger than that of an ordinary person.
Hong Jiaxin hadn't expected Luo Yang to push the door and had only lightly touched it to close it.
The door was pushed open, and Hong Jiaxin said with feigned anger, "I'm going to sleep. What are you trying to do? If you dare to take liberties, see how I'll beat you!"
Luo Yang looked innocent and replied with a wry smile, "Class monitor, I wasn't thinking about taking liberties."
When Hong Jiaxin tried to close the door again, Luo Yang had to block it with his hand.
"Class monitor, let me finish speaking, okay?" Luo Yang politely insisted.
Seeing that Hong Jiaxin stopped trying to close the door, Luo Yang succinctly explained the plan for the performance the next day.
Suyun, who was inside, understood and laughed, "Come inside to talk."
So Hong Jiaxin allowed Luo Yang to enter the room.
"Teacher Su, I'd like you to perform a dance tomorrow, if that's okay?" Luo Yang asked.
"Am I qualified?" Suyun said with a smile.
Learning that reporters would be coming to cover the event made Suyun a bit shy.
"Teacher Su, any dance will do," Luo Yang said.
They just needed a program to attract a crowd, which was essentially a form of advertising.
After pondering for a while, Suyun replied, "I don't know many dances."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Just dance what you're best at. Teacher Su, it's settled then."
After thinking it over once more, Suyun agreed.
Once everything was settled, Luo Yang left the room.
Back in his own room, he saw An Yuying and Tang Guihua quietly lying on the bed. Under the soft light, he glanced at their delicate bodies, and after just a few looks, Luo Yang's body temperature rose significantly.
As he quietly appreciated the beauty of their figures, his phone suddenly rang.
"Only you, can bring me the Journey to the West..."
The song carried far in the quiet of the night sky, sounding particularly loud.
An Yuying and Tang Guihua both opened their eyes.
The call was from Xu Huimin. Before he answered, Luo Yang wondered whether she had managed to find a singer to perform.
When he heard Xu Huimin say that she had found a singer, Luo Yang was delighted.
"Her name is Shi Nan, and she asks for a five thousand yuan appearance fee," Xu Huimin said.
"Alright, tell her to come over tomorrow morning and sing what she's best at," Luo Yang said.
A few thousand yuan was affordable for Luo Yang.
After concluding the call, Luo Yang climbed into bed.
Sleeping between two village beauties, he could smell the fragrance emanating from their bodies continuously, which was extremely delightful.
They both lay on their sides facing Luo Yang.
After a glance to the left and right and seeing their peaks proudly stand, Luo Yang's breathing became a bit rapid.
Although Tang Guihua and An Yuying saw the faint glow in Luo Yang's eyes and could roughly guess which part of them he was looking at, they had no idea he possessed an X-Ray Ability; otherwise, they would have covered his eyes long ago.
"Niu Zai, sleep early. We have to get up early tomorrow," An Yuying said softly.
"Let's sleep," Luo Yang said.
Turning to look at Tang Guihua, Luo Yang saw her gazing over ethereally and reached out to hold her hand, seeing her purse her lips and smile.
His left hand was holding Tang Guihua's hand, and his right, An Yuying's.
The three of them lay together, not speaking, listening to each other's even and gentle breathing, which was so warm and comforting.
It wasn't until the two village beauties had fallen deep asleep that Luo Yang entered the landscape of the Shennong Scripture.
Various strains and fatigue from the day disappeared after a while in the painting, completely revitalizing his spirits.
The sky inside was so blue, clouds drifting leisurely, a gentle breeze caressing him, offering a comfortable experience.
The only drawback was that occasionally, one could hear the low and mysterious roars from the dense forest, reminding one of the lurking dangers.
Each time Luo Yang saw the beauty stream, he would think of Wang Yunxiong.
Now, he had truly crossed paths with Wang Yunxiong.
The county city was Wang Yunxiong's territory, and he had started taking revenge on Chen Jie.
Luo Yang wanted to help, but found nowhere to apply his efforts.
Now was the time they were clashing with the Lin Family, and he could not focus entirely on dealing with Wang Yunxiong.
Moreover, the matter with Hong Jiaxin was enough to keep anyone fully occupied.
Although he had driven away those two strangers, Luo Yang knew that sooner or later, someone would come for Hong Jiaxin again.
And he feared that the next would be even more powerful.
Luo Yang's Shadow Fist had broken through to the second layer, but he was yet to break through to the third.
With the strength of the second layer of Shadow Fist, he had not yet met his match.
But in this vast world, talented individuals abound.
The more Luo Yang glimpsed the essence of high-level martial techniques, the more he realized that he was not strong enough.
Although the painting also contained methods of Flying Sword, he had no sword, nor did he know how to wield one, so he could only study the diagrams carefully.
He had indeed mastered the first layer of leg techniques but had never had the chance to use it.
Simply using Shadow Fist was enough to handle his foes, leaving no opportunity to employ the Shadowless Kick.
He had trained in the second layer of leg techniques but had yet to make a significant breakthrough.
The painting world was very quiet, and aside from practicing martial arts, Luo Yang also needed to study medicine and pharmaceutical methods in the Shennong Scripture.
Medical skills could save lives, and creating medicines could enhance those skills tremendously.
As the saying goes, one must not harbor ill will but must always be on guard against others.
Luo Yang had many enemies, and each one came with a significant backing.
Now, Luo Yang was facing enemies on all sides; the slightest misstep might leave him dead on the streets.
It wasn't that he wanted to make enemies with others; everything was beyond his control.
Caught in the Jianghu, many things are beyond one's control.
Relying solely on martial arts, Luo Yang already had a strong ability to protect himself. Adding knowledge of medicine only strengthened his ability to survive.
However, learning an additional skill also had its benefits.
When the Shennong Scripture discussed various Traditional Chinese Medicines, it mentioned which herbs were medicinal and went on to explain how to concoct poisons.
Luo Yang didn't like the idea of poison, but he knew that learning pharmaceutical skills would be useful in the future.
Seven Step Piercing Potion, Soul Devouring Powder, Bone Erosion Potion; the mere names of these concoctions were enough to send shivers down one's spine.
Until now, Luo Yang only knew that the slopes within the painting were covered in pretty wildflowers and grasses.
After seriously studying the Shennong Scripture's descriptions of herbs, he realized that those wild plants were extremely rare Traditional Chinese Medicines, such as the meat-red Ganoderma, the earth-colored ambergris, and the humanoid Chinese knotweed, all of which could be found on the slopes in the painting.
A more thorough search would reveal that all other herbs were available as well.
Good heavens! He had struck it rich!
Luo Yang danced with excitement.
Returning to the stone cave, he sat up straight and recalled the contents of the Shennong Scripture in his mind, discovering a medicine called Master Servant Pill, which according to the text, if ingested by someone after calling out the feeder's name, could enslave the consumer for one whole day.
Compared to the disconcerting poisons like Soul Devouring Powder and others, this Master Servant Pill seemed rather interesting.
Before dawn had broken, Luo Yang decided to concoct a Master Servant Pill.
He gathered the necessary herbs from the slope and returned to the stone cave, which was equipped with various tools for processing herbs, making the task very convenient.
