Whether it's operating magical artifacts or casting spells, they are so adept and skillful.
In terms of talent and ability, he has already surpassed his senior brother Shi Jian, who was previously ranked first in his heart!
The reason he hadn't given Su Feng the Lightning Thunder Fist before was because he wasn't at ease with him. He worried that Su Feng, like his senior brother Shi Jian, would lose himself in the pursuit of power, thus going astray and falling into evil ways.
But now, Su Feng has satisfied him in terms of both mindset and other aspects, so he is naturally worthy of this manual!
"Since that's the case, then I'll accept it without hesitation." Su Feng held the Lightning Thunder Fist manual tightly in his palm as if it were a priceless treasure.
He felt the power contained within it, which made his palms burn.
He had heard of this technique and knew just how terrifying its power was!
Even before it was fully completed, it already possessed earth-shattering power!
If it were completed... he couldn't even imagine it!
Unexpectedly, this technique, which only Shi Jian possessed, could be used on him today.
Suppressing his joy, Su Feng put the manual into his Qiankun bag.
I'll go back and do a proper analysis and fill in the gaps later... I have more important things to discuss right now.
Once back at the table, Su Feng explained the purpose of his visit.
"Master Ren's second uncle?"
Uncle Nine, whose emotions had calmed down considerably, was still somewhat surprised after hearing what Su Feng told him.
Su Feng nodded slightly and continued, "I heard from Master Ren that the person in charge of transporting the body this time was Master Mama, Uncle Jiu's junior brother."
Upon hearing his mother's name, Uncle Nine involuntarily frowned and clicked his tongue, "They actually let my good-for-nothing junior brother handle this matter..."
Speaking of his mother, he was really disappointed in her!
They were both trained under the same master, and with their mediocre talent and profound understanding of magic, they should have achieved great things.
However, Ma Ma was lazy and fond of drinking and having fun. After going down the mountain, he became even more lax and forgot all the things his master had told him.
Over time, he has left them far behind.
It has been almost ten years since we last met, and hearing that name again now only makes Uncle Nine feel a bit grating.
"In any case, since Young Master Su needs my help now, I will do my best. Leave the matter of finding an auspicious burial site to me."
Uncle Nine spoke up, agreeing to the matter.
Su Feng was very satisfied. After discussing the details of what would happen next with Uncle Jiu, he prepared to leave.
But Uncle Jiu insisted that he stay for dinner, so he hurriedly asked Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to go to the street to buy some cooked food.
Unable to refuse Su Feng's hospitality, he could only agree to stay for a simple meal.
……
"Master is really strange. Just a few days ago he was frowning, but as soon as Young Master Su came, the sun came out and he was all smiles."
Qiu Shengwen walked down the street, puzzled by Uncle Jiu's actions earlier.
It was as if Su Feng was a miracle doctor, curing all sorts of difficult and complicated diseases as soon as he entered the room.
"Hehe, isn't this perfect? If Master and Young Master Su have a good relationship, it will be a great help to us in the future!"
Qiu Sheng laughed, already imagining how impressive it would be to learn magic from Su Feng in the future.
As they walked through the bustling street, their attention was suddenly drawn to a crowd gathered ahead.
Why is it so noisy over there?
Is there a program?
The two were drawn to the lively atmosphere and forgot what Uncle Nine had told them, rushing over to join in the fun.
I struggled to push through the crowd and found a spot with a better view.
In the center of the crowd stood a blond, blue-eyed Westerner, dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, speaking passionately.
"As you can see, these notices on the wall are all real!" the foreigner said fluently in broken Mandarin. "I am a researcher from overseas. I came here today because I heard that zombies, which don't exist in the West, exist in this Eastern land. I am very curious about this and have put a large reward on them..."
"If anyone can provide information about zombies, or any clues about zombies, I will personally give them a thousand silver dollars as a reward!"
Upon hearing the price of one thousand dollars, the crowd erupted in cheers!
Good and bad voices followed.
"A thousand silver dollars? Really? Can this foreign devil really afford that?"
"Could it be a scam?"
"Judging from his refined and polite appearance, he probably isn't just trying to fool me, is he?"
"But why would anyone want a zombie? That's so strange."
Even Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai joined the gossipy group of men, women, and children, discussing the matter animatedly.
The foreigner listened calmly and responded, "Gentlemen, I am not a fraudster. If you can provide clues to help us find the zombie, I will give you a thousand dollars immediately! I guarantee it with my integrity, Johnson! Furthermore, my purpose in searching for the zombie is simply for academic research, for a noble purpose, to pursue a better future for humanity!"
Johnson's words ignited the crowd's enthusiasm, and the doubts began to diminish, replaced by an increasing amount of "true and false" intelligence.
"I know, I know! I heard there are zombies appearing at the entrance of the village to the south!"
"Your message is fake! I saw a zombie on Ox Horn Mountain when I went up the mountain to chop wood before, so where can I collect the money?"
Qiu Shengwencai originally wanted to use Uncle Jiu's name to claim the money, but before he could even open his mouth, he was drowned out by the surging voices of the others.
Upon hearing this, Johnson, who was standing in the center of the crowd, simply raised his hand to quiet everyone down. "What I need is real information, not rumors, so I hope you can provide accurate information. Otherwise, I will pursue legal action."
"law?"
"What's the matter?"
Clearly, Johnson's words left many people puzzled.
Just then, a familiar figure stepped out – it was Awei, who was protecting the security of Renjia Town!
"Ahem! Everyone, I believe you've all heard what Mr. Johnson said. If you have any leads, please feel free to come to the police station and provide them to me. After verifying their authenticity, I will report to Mr. Johnson. However, if I catch someone lying and trying to cover it up..."
With a police baton tucked under his arm, Awei grinned maliciously. "I'll make sure he regrets it!"
In just a moment, the crowd fell silent.
Anyone living in Renjia Town knows the security team's methods and understands what kind of person Awei is.
His collaboration with the Westerners this time was clearly for the lucrative profits. As for the thousand silver dollars... it would probably end up in the pockets of the security team under various pretexts in the end.
Upon realizing this, everyone lost interest and enthusiasm, and scattered in all directions.
Only Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai remained where they were, seemingly confused.

Chapter 127 Maoshan's Ultimate Technique! Lightning Thunder Fist!
"Then this matter is entrusted to you, Captain Wei."
Johnson put on his hat, said something to Avery one last time, and then left with his men.
Awei maintained a solemn expression as he watched the group walk away.
"Captain Awei, where did you get this connection from?"
Qiu Shengwen folded his arms and approached with ill intent.
Awei rolled his eyes at the two of them, "What do you know? This foreigner is incredibly rich!"
He had witnessed it firsthand: the other party pulled out a box full of banknotes! Of course, these were all currencies from Western countries.
But if you convert it into silver dollars, it would be worth several thousand!
"Tch, boring." Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai exchanged a glance, shrugged, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Ah Wei quickly stepped forward and put his arm around the two men's shoulders, saying with a fawning smile, "Don't be in such a hurry, let's talk this out. You two can be my informants. Go back and ask Uncle Jiu where there are any news about zombies, and come back and tell me. I'll reward you handsomely."
Qiu Shengwen didn't buy it and shook off the hand on his shoulder, "Come on, why don't you go ask him yourself?"
Awei gave an awkward, embarrassed smile.
He wanted to too! But his relationship with Uncle Nine wasn't good, and if he were to ask to find zombies, he'd probably be kicked out on the spot.
That's why I thought of having Qiu Shengwen to cooperate.
"Here's what we'll do: you provide the information, and I'll give you a hundred silver dollars!"
Awei made a solemn promise.
But it didn't arouse Qiu Shengwencai's interest at all, and instead drew ridicule.
"You're really good at math..."
Qiu Shengwen sneered.
The reward offered was one thousand silver dollars, but when it reached Awei, he got only a fraction of that!
Even unscrupulous merchants probably wouldn't go to this extent.
However, given Awei's status, they dared not say these words to his face.
"Sorry, we have something to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."
They certainly love money, but it's not worth risking it for such a small amount.
Besides, the gold nuggets Su Feng gave them last time are still not all spent!
We'd better hurry up and buy some cooked food to take home, otherwise Uncle Jiu will definitely complain.
Seeing Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai walk away without looking back, Awei was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only stomp his feet in frustration.
"Damn it... alright, in that case, I'll keep the thousand yuan myself!"
It's just finding zombies, he doesn't believe he can't find them with his own abilities!
"This time, we have to make up for what we lost last time," Awei murmured, turning and walking towards the security station.
