"Ah~ Yes~"

"Seek the Dharma~"

Come on~ let's play a game~

"Don't eat the Peerless Pickled Radish!"

"German chicken burger~"

In a dimly lit room at a fight club, a man wearing only underwear is being tortured with his limbs strapped to an "X"-shaped frame.

Two muscular, hooded men dressed in a philosophical style were whipping the man's body.

The man closed his eyes, revealing a pained (or pleasurable) expression, and kept making strange noises like "Ah~ Fah-ball".

Sitting opposite the man was a wealthy woman in her forties, dressed in luxurious clothes.

He was peeling melon seeds, enjoying the view in front of him.

After a while, the woman saw that the man had been whipped enough, so she said, "That's enough, stop hitting him."

Then the two men in hoods stopped decisively.

The noblewoman glanced at her sideways and asked, "What? Still want to seduce that vixen?"

The man hurriedly begged for mercy: "Madam, I will never dare to do it again. Please forgive me this time, for the sake of our son."

"How dare you mention your son?!" Upon hearing this, the woman flew into a rage and threw the sunflower seeds at him.

"Let me tell you, our son finally managed to enter the immortal sect. Don't let a lecherous father like you ruin his future. From now on, you're not allowed to say you're our precious son's father when you go out, understand?"

"Everything is as you wish, Madam."

The man kept begging for mercy, complaining that he had been caught in bed with another woman, and had been chased naked from West Street to South Street, utterly humiliated...

At this moment, Shen Zhao walked in and came to the noble lady's side, asking, "Madam, are you satisfied with this scene?"

The noblewoman glanced at the handsome and masculine Shen Zhao, and her eyes immediately softened: "Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."

As he spoke, he let out bursts of lewd laughter, which sent a chill down the spines of the two hooded men.

Shen Zhao ignored the noble lady's expression and said expressionlessly, "Since you are satisfied, then settle the bill. One low-grade spirit stone or one thousand gold coins."

The noblewoman smiled and took out a low-grade spirit stone from her purse, placing it on the table. She then said to Shen Zhao, "I'll come to you again if I need any similar work in the future, okay?"

After saying that, her expression changed, and she glared at her husband and yelled, "You shameful piece of trash, come back with me right now!"

After seeing off this eccentric family, Shen Zhao tossed and played with the low-grade spirit stone and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

In his previous lives, he never worried about these spirit stones. Because of the system, he not only possessed a vast amount of rare and precious materials, but also single-handedly transformed the Yintian Dynasty, which was once a near-first-class empire, into a prosperous and powerful nation, becoming a super empire in the Immortal Martial Continent.

According to the original plan, Shen Zhao would lead the Yintian Dynasty to unify the Immortal Martial Continent within the next thirty to fifty years, becoming the first unified empire on the continent.

Unfortunately, this dream was only half-fulfilled before it was cut short by his death.

As for what became of the Yintian Dynasty after his death, and whether Yu Xiyan unified the continent according to his strategic plan, he had no idea.

Now, all of this has nothing to do with him anymore, and he feels more relaxed than ever before.

Just then, a servant came to report: "Leader, Boss He and Boss Feng are waiting outside the door with a delicate-looking young girl. They say they have some business to do."

Shen Zhao immediately tossed the low-grade spirit stone he was playing with to the servant, stood up and said, "Put it in the treasury and record it!"

He then stretched and stepped out of the room.

Inside the hall, He Yishou and Feng Xiunian sat on the side drinking tea, while Su Yunying curiously examined the strange iron cage.

After a long while, Shen Zhao came to the hall, glanced around, and then sat down in the main seat and asked, "Why are you back so soon?"

He Yishou said, "Young brother, this Miss Su wants you to repair her weapon. Do you think you can help her?"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction where Su Yunying was.

Shen Zhao didn't even glance at it, and asked, "Is this such a trivial matter that you had to make a trip all by yourself? Do you think you have too much free time?"

Feng Xiunian hurriedly said, "Of course, there's something else I need to ask you about, but we'll discuss it in detail later. You should talk to this girl about business first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yunying turned around and looked at Shen Zhao. She examined him carefully for a while and then smiled and said, "I suppose you are the boss that the two uncles were talking about. I didn't expect you to be so young and quite handsome, hehe."

"Spit it out! I'm busy making several small profits every minute, I don't have time to joke around with you!"

Shen Zhao glanced at Su Yunying but did not show the slightest sign of lust for her appearance.

Having spent nine lifetimes groveling before, he had seen countless beauties from the immortal and martial arts world, and had long since mastered the art of controlling this emotion to the point of numbness.

Even after nine lifetimes of rebirth, he had to admit that the girl's beauty was absolutely unparalleled. Compared to Yu Xiyan, she lacked some of the aloofness and elegance, but possessed more of the pure and unrestrained charm, making them two completely different styles.

Su Yunying snorted lightly, then conjured a spear from her storage bag and said, "Can you repair this Lone Goose?"

After saying that, without giving Shen Zhao a chance to react, he threw it directly at him.

Shen Zhao didn't even look up, and caught it steadily with one hand.

This scene caused Su Yunying's clear pupils to shrink slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed by in an instant.

"This Boss Shen seems to be quite skilled; he was able to easily catch the shot I threw."

While Su Yunying was feeling surprised, Shen Zhao had already begun to examine the lone goose.

"The shaft is made of thousand-year-old Xuan Yin wood, and the spearhead is forged and fused with cold iron from the North Sea and glass crystal ore from the Northern Region. The entire spear weighs thirteen catties and six taels, and is surrounded by a sharp and brilliant light. It is a rare Yellow-rank spiritual weapon."
