Over The World, Beyond Heaven

After Hong-Hua-Zhen received wound-healing medicine from Zheng-Fu to treat his younger brother, the man's wound soon healed completely as if it had never been there before. If not for traces of blood stains, no one would have known that he had ever been wounded.

Amazing!

How wonderful!

Both Hong-Hua-Zhen and his younger brother were astonished upon seeing the medicine's effect. Although its properties were not the greatest, it was very helpful when the cultivator was injured.

"Young Master Zheng-Fu, this wound-healing medicine is really amazing. Precious medicine like this must be very expensive. So, I probably can't accept it for free. Please tell me, how much does this medicine cost?" Hong-Hua-Zhen knew that Zheng-Fu's medicine was very valuable. So, he did not want to take it for free and thought of paying Zheng-Fu back.

"I gave it to you because I was the one who injured your younger brother. I didn't give it because I wanted something in return. If you see my sincerity as just a matter of profit, then I don't think we'll be able to form a relationship and strengthen our friendship!" Zheng-Fu pretended to be dissatisfied and answered Hong-Hua-Zhen with a serious expression. He was trying to present a grand and impressive appearance to the other party. And using words was the most effective tool.

Oh!

"I must apologize to you! I had no intention of doing that. I just…"

"Never mind! Since it wasn't your intention, let's just let this matter pass." Zheng-Fu hurriedly raised his hand and interrupted Hong-Hua-Zhen. Before he said that, he did not think too much about it, and he let it go to make the two of them comfortable. But in reality, that was one of Zheng-Fu's verbal strategies to conquer his enemies.

Ah!!!

Both Hong-Hua-Zhen and his younger brother were amazed and admired Zheng-Fu greatly. Especially Hong-Hua-Zhen's younger brother, who was initially very dissatisfied with Zheng-Fu. Even when Zheng-Fu gave him the magical medicine, he thought that Zheng-Fu would definitely demand something in return. He did not expect that Zheng-Fu would not demand anything and was also dissatisfied that his elder brother would consider repaying him.

Flap!

"I, Hong-Hua-San-Tao, feel very guilty for being shameless in wanting to eavesdrop on you, Little Comrade, and Elder Brother Hua-Zhen. Even though I was injured, you treated me and didn't blame me. Therefore, I, Hong-Hua-San-Tao, feel great admiration and respect for you. And if possible, I'd also like to drink with you! Is that all right?"

Hong-Hua-San-Tao had the same personality as his elder brother. It was just that he liked having fun a little too much. But at the same time, he was no less enterprising than his elder brother.

"Sure! I prefer having comrades over enemies, so that wherever we go, we can drink together happily. Come on, Master Hong-Hua-San-Tao, let's have a drink!" Zheng-Fu smiled softly at Hong-Hua-San-Tao. But beneath that soft smile, he was laughing heartily with satisfaction.

Excellent!

That day, Zheng-Fu did not say much except to drink and eat. Because throughout the period he talked in Hong-Hua-Zhen's residence, he sensed that many people in the Hong Clan secretly stopped by to check on him. Therefore, he could not talk about important matters with Hong-Hua-Zhen. But that did not make Zheng-Fu unhappy at all. Since it made him get to know Hong-Hua-San-Tao even more and know that the man absolutely hated the Demon Race.

At Zheng-Fu's room within Lin Clan...

"Today I'm quite tired! But it's worth it. Sigh! When will I be able to advance to the next level?!"

After leaving the Hong Clan, Zheng-Fu did not go anywhere else. He went straight back to his room. At that time, he thought of his energy level. He had cultivated energy for several days but still could not advance to the next level. It was different from before that he could quickly increase his energy level.

"All of those previous advancements were probably due to luck, right? But never mind, time in the Eternal Dimension is faster than the outside world. At least it gives me more time to cultivate. However, don't be too long or else… No! I must do it!"

Zheng-Fu felt discouraged and complained. He knew well that in the past, he had been fortunate. If he had not had luck and encountered various precious items that improved his energy level, he would not have been able to reach this level even with the help of pills. He was grateful to heaven for the opportunities he had received. Thinking of that, Zheng-Fu felt courageous and did not give up on walking forward.

The next morning…

On that day, Zheng-Fu did not go out because he had an appointment to teach and advise the three young women of Lin Clan.

The three young women were very excited and happy and had been waiting for Zheng-Fu at the training courtyard in front of his house since morning. Normally, at that time, they would still be at home to have breakfast and go about their daily activities.

Creeeaaak!!!

"You all came early in the morning. At first, I thought I would sleep a little longer. But since you guys are here, I can't sleep anymore, right?!" Zheng-Fu opened the door and greeted the three young women with still-sleepy expressions. Because last night he sat and thought about his future plans, and when he realized it was almost morning, he went to bed. But after falling asleep for a short time, he felt the arrival of the three young women. And that made him remember the promise he had made to them.

Respect, Master!

Respect, Senior Master!!!

The three young women immediately greeted Zheng-Fu. Although the titles they called him were different, their expressions were almost the same. That was the feeling of respect and admiration. However, Lin-Nie and Lin-Ying had more feelings than Lin-Xi had. Both of them had special feelings towards Zheng-Fu. They felt good when they looked at his face and wanted to be close to him. Therefore, meeting him made the two young women seem more lively than usual.

"You don't have to be so polite to me. Our ages are not much different. It's enough for you to just call me Zheng-Fu, do you understand?" Zheng-Fu felt strange being called that. Because he was about the same age as the young women, he preferred that they just call him by his name.

Yes, sir, Master!

Yes, sir, Senior Master!!!

But the three young women still called Zheng-Fu the same even after accepting Zheng-Fu's words.

Hah!

"Then call me whatever you feel comfortable with!" Zheng-Fu could only helplessly hold his temples. However, he did not want to think too much about such things, so he let the three young women do as they wanted.

Zheng-Fu did not give Lin-Ying and Lin-Xi any specific instructions. Because he still did not know what their basic abilities were. But as for Lin-Nie, he had already examined her, so he could give her more advice. However, the two young women were not disappointed. They received better advice than expected, especially Lin-Ying.

Lin-Ying was a quick-witted person, and her martial cultivation talent was only slightly inferior to Lin-Nie's. But even so, she did so well. Zheng-Fu simply instructed her on the basics of using the saber and correcting her mistakes and shortcomings, and she was able to memorize and fix things well. And that made her energy level increase to another level that day.

As for Lin-Xi, she was not inferior to her two elder sisters. Even though she could not increase her energy level right away, her skill usage and basic strength were greatly improved. If she continued cultivating according to Zheng-Fu's instructions for just another day or two, she would be able to increase her energy level and break through to the next level easily.

Aside from the three young women, many other Lin Clan's young generations came to Zheng-Fu for advice. Because they also wanted to become stronger. And Zheng-Fu did not reject anyone. He advised everyone equally. Therefore, that whole day Zheng-Fu was busy teaching those youths.

Finally, the evening had arrived when the sun had disappeared…

Phew!

"How long have I not taught people?!"

After everyone had gone, Zheng-Fu went back to his room to rest. He let out a long breath. It was not because he was tired. But he was thinking of the past when he taught his first group of people and the others in the gravel world.

He had been through many kinds of times and hardships. Even though things were not bad, he had to use his wits and everything to face the situation quite a bit. Up until now, he had achieved great success that he never expected. And if the incident had not happened to Fu-Er in the gravel world, he would not have known how vast the outside world was.

But in reality, he was not the person of that world. Although his body was born there, his spirit and memories came from another world. A world without fantasy. A world of bricks, iron, and smoke pollution. A world where people kept their heads down, minded their own business, and put on masks when talking to others. A dull and cruel world for the poor. A world where people could not avenge sins they did not commit. And a world where people thought only of their happiness, more than the suffering of others.

Zheng-Fu thought that his life at this moment was already very good. Even though it was cruel, he had always been able to change or amend his fate. He was living in a world where he could be free if he were strong. It was a world where promises and oaths were the number one priority. And because of this, he liked it here more than his old world.

"Whenever I become the Lord above all things, I'll bring all my people together in the peaceful world that I have created. Father, Mother, Fu-Er, and everyone, please wait for me!"

Zheng-Fu resolutely determined with a fervent desire that he would bring everyone he loved and his family together in the world and place he had created. And that world had to be peaceful and safe.

Thinking of that, Zheng-Fu began to ferociously cultivate and increase his energy again. He immediately began to use the high-level medicine his mother-in-law had given him.

Many days passed...

Black Rock City's Annual Weapons Forging Contest had finally arrived. Many important people continued to join the event. All the clans, both big and small, living in the surrounding area, came to watch with enthusiasm. Additionally, high-quality weapons and armor were also on sale at the event. Therefore, some of the people who came there intended to buy weapons and armor to strengthen themselves.

Aside from the annual event starting, Zheng-Fu's plans had also begun. All the tributes that the Lin Clan had promised had already been sent to the Black Rock City's army. And with better quality than they had, the City Governor ordered his soldiers to change into the new armor they received from the Lin Clan.

Therefore, more than five thousand soldiers were wearing Lin Clan's tribute armor, all of which had powerful explosion spells engraved on them. In addition to plans for dealing with military forces, the plan to send people to infiltrate the army also succeeded.

"Everyone, get ready! Our plans cannot fail!"

Umm...
