Chapter 66 Vajra Palm
"We have a little time left to use up the Dao Fruit."
Song Shen couldn't think of any reason why he would leave his essence and Dao fruit unused, so he continued to pour the last ten years of his life into the Hunyuan Gong.
Now even the gold in his blood became more intense, flowing with a sense of preciousness.
Could this be the new blood created by the transformed bones?
No wonder the Blood Cleansing level ranks after the Marrow Cleansing level. Every drop of bone marrow in Song Shen's body contains dozens of times more life essence than that of an ordinary person.
Song Shen stared in disbelief at the increasingly expensive blood he was selling. If things really came to the point where he couldn't make ends meet, he could earn a lot just by selling his blood.
[Hun Yuan Gong Level 7, 16%]
Having squandered the last bit of his Dao Fruit and lifespan, Song Shen found a palm technique and a fist technique the very next day.
Both martial arts techniques were extremely common and basic; Song Shen chose them based on the simplest considerations.
His stats are already top-tier, so he doesn't need overly complicated moves, after all, he's a swordsman.

……
Since Xiang Zaishan was executed, some of the servants who had fled the Cao family mansion have returned, and the family has gradually become more prosperous.
The Cao family did not hold these servants accountable for fleeing alone in the face of disaster. After all, the situation at the time was obvious to all, and these servants were only seeking a way to survive, so they had not done anything wrong.
Cao Yu's injuries are gradually healing.
Now, Cao Shenghai is extremely attentive to this illegitimate daughter, showering her with concern and care to an almost nauseating degree.
In times of crisis, a minister's integrity is revealed; in times of chaos, a loyal and virtuous person is recognized.
Now that Old Master Cao has passed away, the family's most capable members are all from the older generation, and none of them are particularly strong. Only this daughter has unlimited potential.
It can be said that the Cao family's future position depends on the second son's rank and salary in the city patrol, while whether the family can return to its peak depends on the third daughter's future cultivation.
Putting everything else aside, the Cao family's fish farms, medicinal herb fields, and mines have all been seized by others. Whether the family can reclaim them depends on these two children.
Cao Shenghai, who had always been a freeloader, is now completely focused on his two children, and no one knows what he's busy with all day.
"Father, I'm almost fully recovered. You don't need to come here every day. Don't you need to take care of family affairs?"
Cao Yu felt a surge of annoyance when he saw Cao Shenghai come to him again.
Cao Shenghai spread his hands and said, "Now the family's businesses are all occupied by the Sand Ship Gang and those scoundrels from the Huang family. Even if I wanted to manage family affairs, I couldn't. How are you, daughter? Are you feeling better?"
Cao Yu withdrew his gaze and said, "It's about time to make a move; it'll be over in the next few days."
Cao Shenghai chuckled, "That's good, that's good. If there's anything you want to eat, just tell me anytime, and I'll get whatever's in the treasury for you. Don't be shy."
Cao Yu sighed almost imperceptibly. Cao Shenghai's change in attitude perfectly illustrated what it meant to be obsequious at first and then obsequious later. In the past, when he wasn't so important, the two of them, father and daughter, were like superior and subordinate. Now, Cao Shenghai could only come here every day, shamelessly trying to make his presence known.
For some reason, I didn't feel satisfied.
Although she dreamed of soaring high in the future, she also understood that she could never completely sever her ties with her family.
"Is there anything else? I need to resume my cultivation."
Seeing his daughter's expression, Cao Shenghai wasn't embarrassed at all. "Yes, yes, it's just a small matter."
Cao Yu frowned and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Cao Shenghai said, "When your grandfather was alive, he instructed me to marry Zhi'er to Song Shen. At the time, I thought your grandfather valued him too much. Now it seems that the old man was indeed farsighted and far-sighted. I have been thinking about this matter recently. You are now the pillar of the family, so I was thinking of asking for your advice."
As he spoke, Cao Shenghai secretly glanced at his daughter's expression.
As a seasoned womanizer, he had been secretly pondering something: his genius daughter might spark a romance with his genius servant. If these two rare geniuses in the city could have a son, then he wouldn't have to keep an eye on his children anymore; he could just keep an eye on his grandson.
but,
Knowing his daughter's temperament well, Cao Shenghai only dared to probe indirectly, not daring to ask directly.
Sure enough, Cao Shenghai caught Cao Yu's barely perceptible change in expression.
"Father, why do you need to ask me about this?" Cao Yu suppressed the fluctuations, and she didn't bother to find out where they came from.
Cao Shenghai said naturally, "Of course I have to ask you. Zhi'er is also your sister. I see that Song Shen is a genius at such a young age. Although he is of humble status, he is still from my family and has a clean background. He has never backed down in the face of this disaster. He is indeed very reliable and has unlimited potential. Moreover, this kid is so handsome, even more handsome than your old man was when he was young. I think he is indeed a trustworthy person."
"Then you can decide for yourself," Cao Yu said calmly.
Cao Shenghai chuckled and said, "He's someone you brought out, so if you have any objections, daughter, I will not make the decision on my own."
Cao Yu looked at Cao Shenghai with his clear, bright eyes: "Father, are you testing me?"
Cao Shenghai immediately retreated in a sorry state, "No, no... Father knows you aspire to martial arts."
"However," Cao Shenghai's tone shifted to an offensive one, "in my opinion, Song Shen is perhaps one of the few men in this world worthy of my daughter. Your grandfather valued him highly back then, even considering his abilities superior to yours!"
Cao Yu's eyes flashed with surprise. "Didn't Father always place great importance on family background?"
Cao Shenghai sighed softly, "What sect? Without strength, they're nothing but lambs to the slaughter! After all this, don't I see clearly? I only regret that I'm already this old, otherwise I would have sworn to devote myself entirely to cultivation!"
You're only finding out now? What were you doing?
Cao Yu inwardly scoffed, but unusually, he flicked his hair and said, "I don't know either, but if you ask me whether I agree to this marriage, I'll say..."
Cao Shenghai pressed further, "What will they say?"
"I disagree!" Cao Yu said firmly.
Cao Shenghai laughed and said, "Then let's not make any arrangements for now. I know you are all still young, so there's no need to rush."
Cao Yu's complexion remained normal, except that his earlobes had become noticeably redder.
Knowing his daughter's condition, Cao Shenghai stood up and said, "Then you should take good care of yourself. We will soon reclaim all the lost property!"
-----------------
Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.
Song Shen is still diligently practicing his spiritual cultivation.
This time, I'm truly practicing diligently.
Because he had used up all his Dao Fruits, the fist and palm techniques he managed to acquire were all very common and straightforward, with simple, effective, and crisp moves.
【Mighty Vajra Palm (72% Success Rate)】
【Military Way Killing Fist (Beginner Level 61%)】
……
These past few days, Song Shen has focused all his attention on the Mighty Vajra Palm technique, and hasn't paid much attention to his fist techniques.
The Vajra Palm, originating from Buddhist palm techniques, consists of only ten moves. It emphasizes using strength to counter strength and violence to counter violence, following a purely forceful approach, which greatly appealed to Song Shen.
On the morning of the eighth day, Song Shen heard a long-awaited knock on the door.
Song Shen opened the door himself, and a beautiful woman stood at the entrance.
"Third Miss, it's been a long time. Has your injury fully healed?"
Cao Yu gazed at Song Shen quietly for a long time, then chuckled softly, "I'm completely healed. Thank you for your concern."
Song Shen let out a silent "Huh?" Why did she say "thank you"?
"Now that the Third Miss has recovered from her injuries, isn't it time to reclaim the family's property?"
Cao Yu nodded and said, "Although I was injured these past few days, I gained a lot of insights from that fight with that demon. After my injuries healed, my progress has been even greater than before. How about we split up? You go to the herb field, and I'll go to the fishing grounds. What do you think? Can you do it?"
"Absolutely no problem," Song Shen said easily. "Third Miss, you can rest assured to leave the task to me."
Cao Yu looked deeply into Song Shen's eyes.
Song Shen asked curiously, "Is there something on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Cao Yu chuckled, then put on a serious face: "From now on, you can just call me Senior Sister."
"Can."
"Then, shall we split up at noon?"
"Absolutely no problem."
Cao Yu nodded crisply and said, "Then you get ready, I'm going back too."
After saying this, Cao Yu left Song Shen's residence with mixed feelings.
Song Shen —
Will you be the one in the Legend of the Eagle in Tianya Mingyue Dao?
