Wei Changfeng carefully examined the three property deeds, and finally selected a residence in Liuye Alley.
Liuye Alley is located in the north of Jingyun City, just two streets away from Jingyun Dan Academy. It is close to Qingmang Mountain, so the surrounding environment is very pleasant, and the location satisfied Wei Changfeng.
This residence is not very large, but it has two sections with a large courtyard and two semi-independent small courtyards. It has enough rooms to accommodate over twenty people, along with a woodshed, kitchen, toilet, and stable, all of which are complete.
In the front hall courtyard, there is even a well!
"I want this one!"
Wei Changfeng pulled out the selected deed and handed the other two back to Wan Haoming: "Name your price..."
Wan Haoming looked at the deed and gave Wei Changfeng a thumbs up: "Young Master Wei has good taste. This residence was rebuilt five years ago, and the owner spent a lot of silver. It's definitely worth the price!"
He paused for a moment and said, "Since Young Master Wei likes it, I'll give it to you for 3,900 taels!"
Wei Changfeng knew that the property deeds from the Four Seas Pavilion were obtained through pawn, and selling them to others would certainly involve a profit. However, this price was absolutely fair.
So he did not haggle and said decisively, "Deal!"
"Young Master Wei is very straightforward!"
Wan Haoming smiled and said, "Originally, the furniture and four servants in this residence were charged separately, but I'll include them as a bonus for you."
"Thank you, Manager Wan!" Wei Changfeng bowed in gratitude.
Although these items were not very valuable, buying them separately would be an additional expense, especially finding reliable servants, which would be even more troublesome. Keeping the old ones would save a lot of trouble.
Wan Haoming exchanged the remaining 3,550 taels in silver with a Four Seas Money House banknote for Wei Changfeng.
He said, "The other deeds are here. You can go to the government office tomorrow morning to complete the transfer. If Young Master Wei has something to attend to, you can send someone with this deed."
Wei Changfeng nodded and handed the deed to Tie Yi: "Old Tie, you go tomorrow morning."
Tie Yi took the deed and said, "Young Master, rest assured, I will handle it properly!"
Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "After the transfer, your family and my family can move in directly. I'll talk to my mother tonight. If we need anything, we'll buy it. Don't worry about the cost."
He then counted out another 2,000 taels in banknotes and handed them to Tie Yi: "Keep whatever is left. If it's not enough, let me know!"
Tie Yi was grateful, knowing that this was money Wei Changfeng was giving him.
Since there were others present, he did not say much, but carefully put away the banknotes and the deed.
"Young Master, I'll go back first!"
After Tie Yi left, Wei Changfeng took out the twelve pearl-like objects.
"Manager Wan, I have one more thing to ask of you..."
...
When Wei Changfeng returned home, it was already very late at night.
His two younger sisters were already asleep, but the small room where Murong Wan lived was still lit.
"Mother, you haven't gone to bed yet?"
Wei Changfeng gently knocked on the door and found her sewing a set of clothes for him. The wooden table was scattered with fabric and thread.
Murong Wan did not expect Wei Changfeng to come home at this time. She hurriedly put away the things and scolded, "You, coming back so late. Why don't you stay at the martial academy? I'll cook you some night snacks..."
Wei Changfeng felt warmth in his heart and stopped her, "Mother, don't trouble yourself. I have something to tell you."
He briefly told Murong Wan about his and Tie Yi's treasure hunt in Qingmang Mountain and their purchase of a residence from the Four Seas Pavilion.
Wei Changfeng spoke lightly, but Murong Wan was not an ignorant village woman. She knew how dangerous it was to enter the mountain, so she was not particularly happy but rather more worried.
"You, our life is fine now. Don't take risks. No matter how good the food or the house, nothing is better than a peaceful family life!"
Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "With this profit, I won't need to go again. I'll focus on practicing martial arts at the academy!"
Murong Wan felt relieved and said, "Since your Master Tie also contributed a lot, we can't treat him unfairly."
"Of course not!"
Wei Changfeng also mentioned that he had recruited Tie Yi as a family retainer: "After the transfer of the residence tomorrow, I'll have them move in."
Murong Wan smiled, "That's best. More people make it lively. Tie's wife is very nice, and I'll have someone to talk to!"
Seeing her happy and content smile, Wei Changfeng felt that all the dangers he had faced were completely worth it.
In the deepest part of his soul, an invisible crack quietly mended, leaving no trace!
The next morning, after eating breakfast, Wei Changfeng rushed to Jingyun Martial Academy.
Of course, he did not forget to bring the special leather bag filled with white jade centipedes.
When he arrived at the library and saw Ouyang Feng again, the elder of the martial academy had a wild look on his face and immediately started cursing Wei Changfeng: "You little brat..."
Wei Changfeng quickly lifted the leather bag and said, "Senior, I have found something to completely cure you!"
"What?"
Despite the intense internal fire and unbearable pain, Ouyang Feng was in a terrible mood. However, hearing this good news from Wei Changfeng, he was overjoyed: "Really?"
The last three words were spoken with a trembling voice, as if he could hardly believe it.
His internal injuries had plagued him for decades, and each time they flared up, he suffered so much that he wished to smash his head and end it all. The pain was indescribable.
Wei Changfeng's appearance was like a lifeline to him. Although he still had doubts deep down, he had no other choice.
Now, Wei Changfeng claimed to have found a way to completely cure him, and Ouyang Feng's heart was a mix of excitement, joy, doubt, and unease, almost ignoring his physical pain.
Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I would never deceive a senior!"
"Great, great..."
Ouyang Feng was so excited that he could hardly speak coherently. He fell to the ground and spread his arms wide, shouting, "Quick... quick, cure... cure me!"
Swoosh!
The elder's clothes were torn into countless pieces by the powerful aura, exposing his upper body.
His appearance was terrifying. His skin had turned dark red, and blood veins protruded from under the surface, like twisted snakes. His acupoints bulged and sank repeatedly, as if something was forcefully pushing and pulling inside!
Wei Changfeng knew that Ouyang Feng's internal fire had reached a point where it could no longer be contained, and the situation was very dire.
He did not hesitate and immediately sat down opposite Ouyang Feng, reaching for the cloth belt around his waist.
On this four-finger-wide hemp belt, over a hundred fine gold needles were neatly arranged.
These gold needles were purchased by Wei Changfeng at the Four Seas Pavilion last night. To completely cure Ouyang Feng, relying solely on the white jade centipedes would not be enough; medicinal pills and acupuncture were also necessary!
"Senior, take this first!"
He flipped his wrist, and a crystal-clear pill appeared in his palm.
Ouyang Feng did not blink, grabbed the pill, and swallowed it.
Before the medicine took effect, Wei Changfeng opened the leather bag and secretly infused it with Dry Yang True Qi.
Inside the bag were nine white jade centipedes, which had fallen into a deep sleep after drinking chicken blood. However, they were instantly awakened by Wei Changfeng's True Qi.
One white jade centipede hurriedly crawled out of the bag. Wei Changfeng quickly grabbed it and placed it on Ouyang Feng's body.
Strangely, the white jade centipede became very docile. It crawled on Ouyang Feng's chest for a moment and then suddenly opened its pincers and bit into a protruding blood vein!
Ouyang Feng could not help but groan, and his eyes turned fierce as he looked at Wei Changfeng.
Wei Changfeng remained calm and said, "Senior, the white jade centipede can absorb the poison. Its cold poison can neutralize the fire, but the bite is very painful. You must endure it!"
The white jade centipede is highly toxic and cannot be used as medicine, but it is very effective in treating fire poison. Wei Changfeng's two trips to Qingmang Mountain were mainly to find this rare insect.
Ouyang Feng's facial muscles twitched, and he said in a low voice, "I can handle it!"
Although he said so, the sweat on his forehead and his tightly clenched fists revealed the intense pain he was enduring.
Wei Changfeng moved swiftly, placing one white jade centipede after another on Ouyang Feng's body.
These centipedes, which had already eaten their fill, seemed to be possessed by a glutton, crawling around excitedly and biting into the blood veins to feed.
The nine white jade centipedes quickly swelled, their originally white bodies turning dark red and emitting a faint blood glow, making one's scalp tingle.
Wei Changfeng did not idle either. He pulled out the gold needles from the belt, infused them with Dan Qi, and inserted them into Ouyang Feng's acupoints. In a short time, he was drenched in sweat!
The Nine Needles for Disaster Relief technique requires a high level of skill from the practitioner. Although Wei Changfeng had unparalleled experience, his Tai Xu Heart Sutra had only recovered to the first level, and each needle was a delicate operation.
If not for the use of the mind-splitting technique, his Dan Qi would have only lasted for three to five needles.
Time passed, and the nine white jade centipedes continued to feed on the blood. The acupoints pierced by the gold needles no longer showed any signs of movement, and Ouyang Feng's complexion gradually returned to normal.
Pop!
Suddenly, one white jade centipede exploded, its broken flesh and shell flying in all directions, splattering onto Wei Changfeng's body.
Pop! Pop! Pop!
One after another, the second, third, fourth... until the last white jade centipede exploded!
