Wang Ran didn't hear Chen Mo's words because he was already driven mad by hunger.

For a martial artist, eating only one meal a day is like an ordinary person eating just a few wild vegetables a day. Grabbing the steamed bun with difficulty, he devoured it ravenously.

After finishing, Wang Ran even licked his fingers, thinking in his mind that there was such delicious food in the world.

After simply filling his stomach, Wang Ran noticed the mocking look in Chen Mo's eyes. As he came to his senses, he wanted to put on the air of Second Young Master Wang, but glancing at his current appearance, his face drooped again, and he said, "What exactly do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo showed a confused expression: "Weren't you the one who said you wanted to see me?"

"Is this funny to you?" Seeing Chen Mo's demeanor, Wang Ran was a bit angry, but he had to suppress this anger and said, "I'll tell you everything you want to know, and I'll give you my two concubines, just let me and my child go."

In Wang Ran's view, his two concubines were already ruined by Chen Mo, so it was better to simply give them to him. But the child needed to be returned.

"If you had been this sensible earlier, you wouldn't have had to suffer like this."

Saying this, Chen Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed Wang Ran.

"What... what are you doing?" Wang Ran's face changed.

With two "crack" sounds, Wang Ran's two dislocated arms were set back in place by Chen Mo.

Chen Mo brought pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, making Wang Ran write down all the cultivation techniques and martial arts he had learned.

Wang Ran was truly scared. After rubbing his neck, he started writing.

To be fair, as expected of a noble young master, Wang Ran's handwriting was quite beautiful.

Fifteen minutes later, Chen Mo picked up Wang Ran's written cultivation techniques and martial arts and began to read them.

[Detected Nourishing Body Skill cultivation technique, record it?]

[Detected Wind-Chasing Arrow martial arts, record it?]

Chen Mo silently agreed to all.

[Cultivation technique overlap, override Purple Sun Cloud Transformation Skill? Once overwritten, Cyan Wood Skill will become the default cultivation.]

[Wind-Chasing Arrow recorded.]

Two powerful memories flooded into Chen Mo's mind.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow, noticing the [Wind-Chasing Arrow recorded] rather than showing [Martial Arts Overlap] like last time.

Could it be that it requires another category to enhance?

Chen Mo opened the system interface.

[Name: Chen Mo.]

[Age: 17.]

[Cultivation Technique: Purple Sun Transformation Skill (Small Success 663.5/5000).]

[Realm: Qi Refining (Sixth Grade).]

[Power: 273.]

[Skills: Great Sun Qi Slash (Basic 230002/5000000), Wind-Chasing Arrow (Basic 0/100).]

Chen Mo blinked, sure enough.

"So, can you release him now?" Wang Ran asked.

But Chen Mo said, "As the second young master of the Wang Family, you only know this one martial arts?"

"Biting off more than you can chew, besides, I have to study too, where would I find so much time to cultivate martial arts? Moreover, archery martial arts are far more difficult than other martial arts. This Wind-Chasing Arrow took me a whole year just to reach entry level," Wang Ran said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo did not refute. Cultivating martial arts indeed takes a lot of time. Even with the system, looking at the basic proficiency of the Great Sun Qi Slash, he felt a bit of a headache.

Subsequently, Chen Mo took out that piece of "Blood Ginseng" and asked Wang Ran what it was.

Clearly, regarding Lu Yuan's words, Chen Mo didn't fully believe them. He needed confirmation from multiple sources.

"Ten-year Blood Ginseng, worth a thousand pieces of gold, used by martial artists for cultivation and breaking through bottlenecks." Saying this, Wang Ran stared rather painfully at the Blood Ginseng.

"Since it can be used for cultivation, why don't you use it?"

Wang Ran hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm taking this as a gift."

It turned out that Wang Ran was going to the Jiangnan to rely on a large family called the Luo Family. That Luo Family had some connections with the Wang Family's ancestors, and the Blood Ginseng was intended as a gift for that Luo Family.

There was also something that Wang Ran didn't say.

It was also the idea of his father, Wang Cultivator, hoping that after the Luo Family accepted the gift, remembering the ancestors' connection between the two families, they would arrange a marriage with Wang Ran.

"Noble clans sure are generous with their gifts."

Chen Mo smacked his lips. As for how the other party obtained it, he didn't ask. The Wang Family, being a local noble clan, certainly had its own channels.

Then, Chen Mo asked Wang Ran a few other questions.

Wang Ran answered them all one by one.

Seeing Chen Mo nodding with a satisfied look, Wang Ran said, "I've told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?"

"When did I agree to let you go?" Chen Mo said.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ran was stunned. Thinking carefully, Chen Mo indeed never said anything specific.

Wang Ran's eyes were filled with rage: "You... what else do you want?"

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Just stay in the village for a while; you won't need to do anything. I will take good care of you." As he said this, Chen Mo set Wang Ran's legs back into place and said, "Your two concubines and child are fine; no one has touched them.

Of course, don't try any tricks, or else... you know what will happen."

Wang Ran went down with resentment.

Chen Mo then called in Su Wen, Su Wu, and Su Qi, instructing them to keep an eye on Wang Ran.

At the same time, this was also a test for them by Chen Mo.

The convoy that escorted Wang Ran out of the city was left in the village by Chen Mo, and not a single person was allowed to leave.

Therefore, for the people in Pingting County, they still didn't know what had happened outside the city.

...

Five days later.

Xia Lin, a major city in Qingzhou.

The Celestial Master Army was not a complete army but was composed of thirty-six peasant armies from the north, all respecting the leader Luo Guang as their master.

After Luo Guang's uprising, rumors spread that Luo Guang was sent by the Celestial Master to save the human world. Luo Guang could use Talismanic Water to save people and summon thunderbolts, so he was also respectfully called the Celestial Master, and all peasant armies that followed him were collectively known as the Celestial Master Army.

The leaders of these thirty-six peasant armies were called commanders.

In this attack on Qingzhou, five commanders perished, and for the fallen commanders, Luo Guang would send someone specifically to replace them.

After capturing Fengxian and Nanyang, they did not immediately head south because the thirty-six commanders were all dividing the interests of Qingzhou.

Qingzhou had six counties, each divided among six commanders, and then each county was further divided, determining who would plunder which area.

Today, the division was finally complete.

Yang Minggui, one of the thirty-six commanders, gained five counties this time.

Qingtian County and Ping Court County were both allocated to him.

The peasant army he led could seize the population, wealth, and land of these five counties as their own.

And Xia Lin was the county town he had just captured.

At the moment, he was in the government office, distributing rewards based on merit.

The Xia Lin County Magistrate's beautiful wife and concubines were all bestowed upon his subordinate generals.

Even the maids who did laundry and fetched water were given to his personal soldiers.

While he was continuing his awards, one of his personal soldiers ran into the government office, holding a name card, knelt on one knee, and said, "Commander, someone outside the city wishes to see you, claiming that his leader wants to join you with his army."
