Zhang Wei paused in his steps and stared at Zhang Ming, who was looking at him with derision. He didn't say a word, and instead, his gaze flickered to the fatty behind him, Zhang Nie, who was peeking at him. "What are you looking at?" Zhang Ming snickered as he stepped forward when he saw that he wasn't looking at him. Zhang Wei looked back at him quietly. His calm stare made Zhang Ming feel like he could see through his thoughts, which made him feel uneasy, especially since Zhang Wei had died and they had even hidden his head body. He stepped forward and pressed his finger to Zhang Wei's chest, pushing him. "What are you doing here? To snitch on Zhang Nie and I about what happened the other day?" Zhang Wei gave a small chuckle at this, "And if I am?" Zhang Ming paused at his attitude. He had expected him to apologize and promise that he wouldn't say anything. But he didn't think much of the change in his attitude and threatened, "If you dare to tell father anything about it,

"Where did you say we were going again?" Liang Feixing drawled sleepily with a loud yawn as they winded into the main markets. He still looked disheveled and kept pulling his robe together after being dragged out of bed by Zhang Wei. "To buy ingredients for pills," Zhang Wei responded, giving him a side glance as Liang Feixing yawned again, and he looked at him with amusement. "It's already past noon. Why are you still so sleepy?" "What do you know?" Liang Feixing clicked his tongue. "I don't have to go anywhere today, so what best time to catch up on good sleep than now?" When he heard that, Zhang Wei was silent, but he soon muttered, "I can't sleep past dawn." It must be a side effect from his past life. Back then too, he never slept past dawn because in the first Arc of his life, he had to struggle to survive, and in the second Arc, he was too busy causing trouble to enjoy sleep. Zhang Wei's tone was mild, but Liang Feixing could detect a hint of emotion in it. But he could not

"Stop!"A voice rang out from upstairs.All of them immediately looked up at the speaker. It was a youth dressed in petal green robes, and he was standing there with a fancy fan in hand.Zhang Wei and Liang Feixing didn't recognize him, but the moment Young Master Liang and the attendant saw him, the look on their faces changed."What do you want, Huang Zhen? This doesn't concern you," Young Master Liang muttered rudely, and it was evident that they weren't best of friends.Huang Zhen slowly walked down to them, waving his fan dramatically, and laughed, "Don't be so anxious, Liang Jun. It is my business, of course. This is my Huang family's business, and I won't let you fight and bully others just because you have guards with you."He approached Zhang Wei and Liang Feixing as he spoke and glared at Liang Jun's guards. "What are you doing? Step back!"The guards turned to look at Liang Jun unsure what to do, but they could tell that Huang Zhen couldn't be messed with and sensibly stepp

Huang Zhen instantly froze.He turned to Zhang Wei and wanted to speak. But Manager Ju laughed out loud and snorted contemptously, "What a friend you have, Young Master Zhen. He even knows how to dig graves for you to jump into. Doesn't he know how bad you are at refining pills?"Huang Zhen didn't speak, and he looked troubled. He badly wanted to grab Zhang Wei and ask him if he had offended him before to dig such a hole for him to jump into. But, he could not lash out at Zhang Wei because he knew he was just trying to help out.But Zhang Wei, who didn't know what was good for him, remarked in response to Manager Ju's words, "Do you dare to compete? Or, are you scared?""Ha...!" Manager Ju guffawed. "You're so arrogant. Fine, I accept the challenge. I hope you're ready to accept what comes out of this."Huang Zhen’s face was pale. Even Liang Feixing looked worried and pulled at Zhang Wei's sleeve, signaling him to see that Huang Zhen clearly couldn't do it.Zhang Wei looked at him for

Manager Ju instantly frowned. "How is that possible?"Huang Zhen looked at the crystal glowing with white light in the distance and muttered in disbelief, "How is that possible?"He instinctively rushed forward but hesitated to collect it, fearing he was hearing things and would break the illusion if he did. At this point, Manager Ju was the least of his concerns.His pill glowed with a white light, indicating a higher second grade. He could hardly believe it.Behind him, Liang Feixing nearly jumped up and grabbed Zhang Wei's shoulder. "He did it," he exclaimed. "He really did it."Even Zhang Wei smiled in a rare show of emotion. He wasn't truly surprised but still caught off guard. He expected the pill to be lower or equal in grade compared to Manager Ju's, but it turned out to be higher. He was rather satisfied.Meanwhile, Manager Ju stood by, shaking his head from time to time. He looked at Huang Zhen suspiciously and suddenly exclaimed, "You must have cheated!"Everyone's attenti

The moment he opened the door and entered, a teacup flew toward his head. Zhang Wei instinctively ducked, and the cup crashed into the wall behind him. A slight frown appeared on his lips, and he eyed the shards of the porcelain cup on the floor before straightening up and looking at Zhang Lei.Since he arrived in this present life, he hadn't encountered anyone with proper cultivation, and he forgot how terrifying internal energy was for a split moment. He could still feel the sheer force with which the teacup was thrown at him, and if it weren't for his instincts, it would have injured him severely.If it was in his past life, it wouldn't even make a scratch on him. But now, he was in the host's body and could definitely not withstand any attack. Especially not from a cultivator of the seventh grade.It was fine if Zhang Lei knew it was him, but how could he attack his own son, knowing he couldn't fight back? He directed his cold glare at Zhang Lei, who was sitting across, and the l

"This is the list for the hunt," Zhong Hua handed the scroll to Liang Feixing, who opened it up to check. When he saw the long list of ingredients, his eyes widened. "So many?"Zhong Hua looked delightful and shook his head with a smile. "You seem to have made a good impression on those seniors, so they recommended you to their classmates." He also added with a tone of disbelief, "I even heard that most of Quan Che's clients have quit working with him, and they are on this list."Liang Feixing immediately looked at Zhang Wei, who smiled leisurely and collected the scroll. He clicked his tongue once he opened it and muttered, "This is a lot. But they are simple herbs. We should be able to get them.""Yes." Zhong Hua nodded.Zhang Wei looked up at him. "How much is the pay?"Zhong Hua smiled and lifted a palm."Fifty taels?" Zhang Wei frowned. That was no different from what he earned from each person last time."Yes." Zhong Hua drawled knowingly, but before both of them could speak, h

They all thought he was going to attack them immediately, and even Huang Zhen frowned, turning to ask them, "Do you know him?"Liang Feixing nodded and whispered, "We ripped him off before and took away his clients. He must be here for revenge.""..." Huang Zhen was speechless.Zhang Wei stepped forward and stared at Quan Che's neck. "How is your neck now?" But he recalled something and chuckled, "Why am I even asking? You wouldn't be standing here like this if you weren't fine."His words only seemed to fuel Quan Che's anger, and he gritted his teeth angrily. "Shut up! If it weren't for you...""But I gave you the antidote," Zhang Wei retorted. Quan Che was furious. Was that an antidote or a neck massage that left his neck sore for three days? Zhang Wei laughed, seeing the look on his face, and snorted, "So what are you here for? To get back at us? Can you handle the three of us alone?"Quan Che's gaze flickered as he stared at the three of them. He was to meet up with his group th

The rope lifted them, trapping them to the branch of a very tall tree. Several loud noises also accompanied their movement, and it came from a couple of iron bells that were tied together at the bottom of the snare trap.Zhang Wei looked down dumbfounded. "Well, what a new perspective this is.""What... what's going on?" Huang Zhen cried out in alarm and grabbed Zhang Wei's arm."We are trapped," Zhang Wei muttered calmly once he was over his initial speechlessness. "Your leg caught a snare trap, and we were pulled upside down by it.""Oh. How do we get down from here?" Huang Zhen asked offhandedly, trying to calm down. But when he tried to look down, he realized how tall they were hung and screamed. Zhang Wei chuckled at his reaction but tried to dig his hand into his sleeve. "I think I still have my knife here. I'll cut the rope off and jump down."But due to their posture, he was unable to reach in and could only turn to Huang Zhen, who was scared out of his wits beside him. "Hel

Once he barged in, the two people inside looked alarmed to see him. Zhang Lei coughed, seeing that he had been caught while his mother looked restless and worried."Wei'er," she called out. "Come, your father wants to talk to you."Zhang Wei eyed the man seated on the high chair while his mother sat on the floor. "We have nothing to talk about."She looked restless and tried to persuade, "Your father said it will be dangerous for you to go to that place. You don't have any cultivation. What if...""That was what he told you?" Zhang Wei scoffed, glancing at Zhang Lei. "You sure are rather leisurely spinning fear into the heart of a weak woman, 'Father.'"This time, the word 'father' was rather fluid to say albeit it was full of sarcasm."What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Lei was about to yell at him.But Zhang Wei paid him no heed and reached out to help his mother from the futon before turning to Zhang Lei. "Tomorrow is the trial day, and you can't sit still anymore, can yo
