Jinzhou City.
It has been three years since the fall of the Gao family, and the lives of the people in Jinzhou City haven’t changed much.
Occasionally, some elderly people would recall the once high and mighty Gao family in Jinzhou City when they felt nostalgic.
Liang Sheng walked out of the courtyard and saw the peach talismans hung on both sides of the street, the sounds of firecrackers being set off by children from time to time, and their laughter. Liang Sheng couldn’t help feeling a little dazed, realizing that it was time for another Spring Festival family gathering.
“Master.”
At this moment, Ma San had prepared the horse carriage and stood respectfully, helping Liang Sheng to board. Unconsciously, Ma San’s back had hunched quite a bit more.
In just three short years, Ma San had changed so much that it seemed as if old age had come to him in just an instant.
Meanwhile, Liang Sheng had unknowingly reached the age of 36 and had gone from being a young master to the “master” referred to by Ma San.
In these three years, Jinzhou City had been extremely peaceful. The county government and the two families of Liang and Wu coexisted harmoniously, even more so than during the time of the Gao family.
Three years ago, Liang Sheng reached the high-level martial arts realm in one night, and in the past three years, he had still been working hard on his cultivation. Although his realm had not improved, his techniques had progressed.
Name: Liang Sheng
Age: 36
Talent: Innocent Foolishness (Top grade)
Techniques: Golden Dragon Technique (Seventh Layer), Longevity Skill (Eleventh Layer), other Health Cultivation Methods (Eleventh Layer), Unmoving Ming King Seal (Second Layer) [PS: Later, the health cultivation methods will be merged into one and saved from repeating words]
Realm: Martial Artist Postnatal Seventh Layer (25%)
Three years later, the Unmoving Ming King Seal finally broke through to the second layer, even slower than the cultivation speed of the Golden Dragon Technique by several times. As expected, it was the Dharma Sect’s mastery back in the day, requiring greater difficulty in cultivation.
However, the benefits were also obvious. The Golden Dragon Technique was able to break through to the seventh layer within three years, completely exceeding Liang Sheng’s expectations.
Although the Longevity Skill has not yet broken through to the eleventh layer, under the guidance of other high-level health cultivation methods, the newcomers have surpassed it and all have broken through to the eleventh layer together, progressing at the same pace as the Longevity Skill, greatly increasing Liang Sheng’s lifespan.
Now, with his current lifespan reaching 800 years, it seemed that his next breakthrough would probably surpass that of the proverbial turtle.
Moreover, according to his current cultivation progress, it was likely that he would break through the Post-Natal “Eighth” Level within ten years and become a top figure in Jinzhou City.
Of course, Liang Sheng would never reveal his true strength. Only a fool would give up living such a rich and carefree life unnoticed.
“Let’s go.”
Liang Sheng calmed his thoughts, sat in the carriage and pulled down the curtain. Ma San immediately called out, driving the carriage toward the Liang family’s main mansion.
Today was the Liang family’s grand ancestral worship ceremony. Whether it was the Liang family members working in other places or the managerial clan elders busy with their responsibilities, everyone had arrived on time.
However, this year’s person in charge of the Liang family’s ancestor worship ceremony was not Liang Sheng’s Second Uncle Liang Qiang, but Fourth Uncle Liang Chuan.
At this time, Liang Qiang was already 61 years old, his martial arts realm was only at the postnatal fifth level, and his body had suddenly collapsed last year due to indulgence in wine, women, and gambling all these years.
Since Liang Qiang had never married and lived alone, he had handed over the responsibilities of managing the outer branch to Liang Chuan, and the transition had been very smooth, with no opposition.
Upon arriving at the ancestral hall, Liang Sheng unconsciously walked toward the corner, but then suddenly turned and went behind Liang Qiang.
At this moment, Liang Qiang had lost his once-strong physique, his face was pale, wrinkles covered his forehead, and his body was extremely weak.
Now, he was huddled in his chair, looking as if he was about to die, while the younger generation around him unconsciously kept their distance.
“Second Uncle.”
Liang Qiang initially had his eyes closed, but upon hearing the voice, he opened his eyes and saw Liang Sheng leaning over. A flash of surprise and joy crossed his eyes.
With some effort, he raised his hand, trying to pat Liang Sheng’s shoulder. Liang Sheng quickly lowered his body, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to reach it.
“It’s you, young man, who is smart, knowing to practice the Health Cultivation Method, appearing so young, unlike an old man like me, regretting it too late.”
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was moved. At this moment, Liang Sheng was suddenly shocked. He glanced at his peers with the corner of his eyes, and even though they had surpassed the “Martial Arts level two,” they seemed older than him.
Because of his long lifespan, he hadn’t paid attention to his appearance for a while. Under Liang Qiang’s teasing, he suddenly realized it.
Fortunately, he had been living a low-key life for so many years, being kind-hearted, so not many people noticed him.
As a result, nobody paid attention to his appearance. However, this time he had to make himself look older when he went back.
It was nothing more than controlling the flesh. Anyone who practices the Health Cultivation Method to the top level can do it.
After all, the Health Cultivation Method is to adjust the body and increase the lifespan. With his mastery of the method, controlling the flesh is effortless.
Previously, Liang Sheng had ignored this point because it was just in a blind spot. Fortunately, it wasn’t too late to notice this issue now.
Even if someone thought he was “too young,” he had an excuse to push it away. He hadn’t expected that collecting Health Cultivation Methods in the past would come in handy, which was a pleasant surprise.
“Second Uncle, what are you talking about? Back then, you spent the night with seven women, and it is still a good story at Yichun Building. Your vitality has always been strong; I’m sure that with proper care for a while, you’ll be vigorous again.”
“You have a sweet mouth, young man, but there’s no need to flatter a useless old man like me. I’m content with my life, living safely into my sixties, what more can I ask for? Look at Fifth Brother. He perished in the war three years ago. He was in the Postnatal Sixth Realm, but still, he left before me.”
At this moment, Liang Qiang was surprisingly open-minded. Just as he was about to make fun of Liang Qiang a few more times, he saw the situation and shut his mouth.
Of course, Liang Qiang wouldn’t mess around either. He whispered a command and stopped talking, “Wait until the grand ceremony is over, then send me home.”
Liang Sheng nodded his head but didn’t answer; then he looked towards the gate of the Ancestral Hall. There stood the Liang Family Elders’ manager. The head of the grand family ceremony was naturally Patriarch Liang Ying.
As for the Liang Family Ancestor and Liang Ping, they hadn’t appeared yet. Liang Ying was standing on the high platform, looking quite imposing.
These years, the Liang Family has prospered even more, and the “young” Patriarch’s prestige is rising!
After presenting sacrifices and offerings to the ancestors, it was time for the grand family banquet. It was Liang Chuan’s first time in charge of the event, and the new Outer Disciple managerial official made his official debut.
At this time, Liang Qiang glanced at Liang Sheng and found he was extremely calm, as if there were no ripples. He couldn’t help but nod his head slightly.
This young man has a clear understanding and lives his life openly.
Amid the clinking of glasses, suddenly everyone’s eyes turned towards Liang Sheng’s table. Liang Ying walked straight over with a glass of wine in his hand.
“Second Uncle, you’ve gone through so much over the years!”
At this moment, Liang Ying lowered his posture greatly. Liang Qiang’s eyes became red instantly, and his face was filled with excitement. He repeatedly said he didn’t dare and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.
In an instant, the call for the Patriarch’s benevolence echoed through the whole banquet, and the atmosphere became even more intense.
As for Liang Sheng, Liang Ying wouldn’t notice him at all. He was just a waste, and what qualification did he have to attract his attention?
After the banquet was over, Liang Sheng helped Liang Qiang into the horse carriage and headed to Liang Qiang’s mansion. Inside the carriage, Liang Qiang’s face was extremely calm, with no trace of excitement.
Liang Sheng couldn’t help but secretly grumble in his heart: They’re truly great actors!
