141: Chapter 141 This man will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future.

For Zhao Fangcai, this evidence itself wasn't particularly useful, but for the government officials and military commanders, it was the key evidence needed to convict the Murong Family.

Furthermore, Zhao Fangcai had long since spent a fortune greasing the palms of officials high and low. The prefect understood the situation perfectly well and only reported the parts beneficial to the Jing State Dukes Residence to his superiors.

As for the Murong Family's lands and assets, the handling was even more cleverly concealed.

The prefect only reported thirty percent of the Murong Family's assets, which were then confiscated by the state according to the law.

The remaining seventy percent of the assets were secretly concealed and quietly transferred under Li Qingluo's name.

Later, when Wang Yuyan married into the Jing State Dukes Residence, these assets would become her dowry.

Thus, seventy percent of the Murong Family's estate became the private property of the Jing State Dukes Residence without anyone noticing.

Even more cleverly, the thirty percent reported and confiscated would, in all likelihood, eventually end up back in the hands of the Jing State Dukes Residence through government auctions, rewards, and other means.

This process, while seemingly complex, avoided many potential troubles.

After all, the Jing State Dukes Residence wasn't some street gang; they couldn't act too directly or recklessly.

Moreover, such tactics had long been commonly used by prestigious families and wealthy clans across the land when annexing commoners' property; it wasn't a particularly sophisticated method.

"The Murong Family's downfall at your hands is truly not the least bit unjust!"

Madam Wang (that is, Li Qingluo) leaned back on the soft couch, her tone carrying a hint of pride, her breath as fresh and elegant as an orchid as she spoke.

Then, she abruptly changed the subject, inquiring about the previous murder cases.

"What are your thoughts?"

Zhao Fangcai gently massaged Madam Wang's Danzhong acupoint as he asked in return.

On the surface, his action appeared very intimate, but in reality, he was helping Madam Wang unblock her Ren and Du Meridians. This was also a form of compensation for her earlier cooperation in feigning death and assisting the operation.

Threads and wisps of Pure Yang True Qi slowly seeped from his fingertips into Madam Wang's body. She couldn't help but frown, her face showing a pained expression, yet mixed with an indescribable tingling numbness.

The True Qi flowed between her Acupoints, then slowly spread along her Meridians, making her feel as if she were soaking in a scalding hot spring. Her skin gradually became burning hot and flushed red.

"Those men, already having wives, still go and entangle with other women, and after entangling them, they refuse to take responsibility. They are truly despicable!"

Madam Wang bit her lip, letting out a soft hum, her voice full of discontent.

"But that still doesn't justify you having them kill."

Zhao Fangcai shook his head lightly and said, "There are thousands upon thousands of characters in the world, but only the character for 'love' is the most elusive. Madam Wang, aren't you also trapped by this character for 'love', unable to free yourself?"

Hearing this, Madam Wang was stunned for a moment, then anxiously pressed, "What do you know?"

"I once went to Nanyang."

Zhao Fangcai replied calmly.

Only then did Madam Wang understand. Her beautiful face instantly turned icy, her eyes flickering uncertainly, as if calculating something.

Zhao Fangcai continued moving along Madam Wang's Ren and Du Meridians, leaving traces of his True Qi at various Acupoints, finally stopping at the position of the Huiyin acupoint.

Madam Wang blinked her beautiful eyes forcefully, with a somewhat incredulous look, and asked, "You... how can you..."

Zhao Fangcai said with a calm expression, "I have already smoothed out all the Meridians in your body. Next, I will impart to you ten years of cultivation power, enough for you to unblock your Ren and Du Meridians."

Impart cultivation power? Madam Wang's heart was filled with shock.

In the Jianghu, people always valued their own cultivation power greatly; after all, every bit was gained through years of arduous cultivation.

Even figures at the Grandmaster level would never lightly impart their cultivation power to others, nor would they willingly let their own power diminish, unless they were at death's door, their lamp of life about to go out.

"Why are you still dazed? Hurry up and Cultivate!"

Zhao Fangcai reminded her.

As soon as his words fell, Madam Wang felt streams of True Qi suddenly surge within her body,

simultaneously erupting in every acupoint—the sensation was like beams of sunlight piercing through her Meridians, yet also like a volcanic eruption, turbulent and surging, the scorching heat as if about to melt and burn her flesh and blood.

Such intense pain made her unable to hold back a groan. She quickly sat cross-legged, tearing off her outer robe in the heat, circulating the 'Minor Formless Skill', and exerting all her effort to refine this Innate True Qi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

When practicing Internal Skill before, Madam Wang's Meridians were always blocked and obstructed, making the circulation of True Qi very difficult.

But now, those blockages, faced with the surging Innate Pure Yang True Qi, were as fragile as tofu, completely shattered in an instant.

Only, the excruciating pain of her Meridians being forcibly expanded gave her the illusion that her body was about to swell and explode.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The True Qi she couldn't fully refine seeped out through her pores, rising in wisps of white steam, even causing all the clothes on her body to burst apart, scraps of cloth flying everywhere in the air.

Madam Wang gritted her teeth, ignoring all this, focusing solely on absorbing and transforming the Innate Pure Yang True Qi transmitted by Zhao Fangcai.

"How can his True Qi be so powerful?"

"I actually can barely withstand it!"

"Is just ten years of cultivation power already terrifying to this degree?"

Madam Wang's heart was full of shock—this man would certainly not be ordinary in the future.

However, it truly felt incredibly exhilarating!

She clearly felt her cultivation power rapidly increasing. In just a short while, her progress was equivalent to half a year of her own arduous cultivation.

And this was under the condition that she couldn't fully refine this cultivation power. If she could refine all the True Qi, wouldn't her strength skyrocket?

For a moment, Madam Wang found a balance between pain and pleasure.

"Getting older, the Meridians become stiff after all, not comparable to the young."

Watching the copious amounts of True Qi emanating from Madam Wang's glistening, flushed skin, continuously tempering her bones and sinews, Zhao Fangcai shook his head lightly.

He coughed lightly and quickly averted his gaze—he knew better than to look at things he shouldn't; he still had that sense of propriety.

[Ding! You have gifted Li Qingluo ten strands of Innate Pure Yang True Qi!]

[You have triggered a hundredfold critical hit return!]

[You have obtained one thousand strands of Innate Pure Yang True Qi!]

[Note: After each instance of power impartation, a cooldown period for power impartation will begin. During the cooldown period, power impartation will not trigger the return mechanism. Current cooldown time: One month!]

Hmm? Power impartation actually has such an unexpected gain? A hundredfold return? That's a rather good result.

But there's a cooldown period for power impartation? Zhao Fangcai felt a slight regret in his heart—if he had known earlier, perhaps he should have found a more suitable person to impart power to.

But looking at Madam Wang's current state, almost unable to withstand it, he also understood that even if he imparted more cultivation power, Madam Wang would likely truly die from her Meridians being unable to bear it and exploding.

Buzz!

Suddenly, Madam Wang's delicate body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. An invisible gate within her seemed to be completely thrown open, and a unique aura slowly emanated—her Ren and Du Meridians had actually been unblocked!

Threads and wisps of Heaven and Earth Origin Qi began to surge into her body in reverse. The extreme pain vanished instantly, replaced by an unprecedented comfort and ease.

Madam Wang felt as if she had shed a burden weighing a thousand pounds. Her entire body felt light and airy, as if about to ride the wind and fly, akin to Immortal Ascension.

She was extremely excited inside—unblocking her Ren and Du Meridians at her age meant that within her lifetime, she finally had the chance to step into the Innate Realm!

Seeing Madam Wang successfully achieve a Breakthrough and begin to concentrate on comprehending and consolidating her current Realm, Zhao Fangcai nodded subtly to himself, acknowledging Madam Wang's perseverance with a bit more respect.

He turned and walked to a chair in the room to sit down. The System's notification sounded in his mind once again:

[You have obtained one thousand strands of Innate Pure Yang True Qi. Use immediately?]

Zhao Fangcai was in no hurry to use them. Instead, he first took out a 'Great Prajna Fruit'.

"Strength at the Peak of the Fourth Realm of Xiantian, while combat power is decent, I always feel there's still room for improvement, potential to be tapped."

Holding the 'Great Prajna Fruit', a delightful fragrance wafted over, instantly clearing his mind and eliminating all distracting thoughts.

This 'Great Prajna Fruit' resembled both a longan and a Buddhist relic in shape. Its surface emitted a faint golden light, with a flowing radiance inside.

It was said to be a sacred fruit from India, bearing fruit only once every thousand years or even longer.
