The dense forest was in a mess. Tens of Red-scarf Burglars were killed, and none of them were caught. Guan Wei, the head of the Burglars, died miserably. He was broken into two by Cheng Ningsheng's waist, and he eventually died in excruciating pain.
Despite that, Cheng Ningsheng and the others did not rejoice after they got their revenge. Instead, they looked sorrowful.
The family was living in harmony, but who would have thought that the Red-scarf Burglars would not hesitate to kill innocent people for the thousand-year blood ginseng? More than a hundred people in the family were robbed overnight. Although they had gotten their revenge, they could not feel happy at all.
After a long time, Cheng Ningsheng sighed and said, "Misfortune is a blessing in disguise, and a blessing in disguise."
The other people from the He family exchanged glances and were in awe.
During Cheng Ningsheng's birthday, the Lin family from Glittering Jewel sent someone to congratulate him and presented a thousand-year blood ginseng as a gift. It was such a grand occasion that the Cheng family's prestige reached a peak.
However, the incident with the Red-scarf Burglars immediately caused the Cheng family to fall from the clouds to hell.
Nobody could have predicted the change of fortune and misfortune.
They thought about the spirit beasts in the family again. If this matter was accidentally spread, the Cheng family would be a lesson to them.
Cheng Ningsheng finally recovered after a brief moment, and he was immediately attracted to the long-handled saber in He Yiming's hand.
A complicated look surged in his eyes as he said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the glaive that Brother Wude used when he was young, right?"
He Yiming bowed slightly and said, "That's right. You're very accurate. This is grandfather's weapon, the glaive."
Cheng Ningsheng's eyes were filled with nostalgia. "Back then, your ancestor swept through the entire Taicang County with this saber. He was known as the number one saber in the county, and almost no one could contend against him. How awe-inspiring was that? Even when I think about it today, I'm still fascinated by it. "
He Yiming couldn't help but tighten his grip on the long-handled broadsword. Hearing the evaluation of this broadsword from an outsider's mouth was indeed much more fair than hearing it from a family member's mouth. It was also much more exciting.
Cheng Ningsheng's gaze finally turned to He Yiming and said: "Brother Wude has passed this saber to you, and you have not brought shame to its brilliance. Even Guan Wei couldn't block that saber strike just now. You're truly a young hero. "
He Yiming smiled awkwardly. He split the broadsword into three parts, sheathed it, and put it into his backpack. At the same time, he said, "Old Master, you flatter me. Just now, Guan Wei escaped from you and uncle's pincer attack. He was already an arrow at the end of its flight. That's why he was defeated by Yiming's sneak attack. If he was at his peak, then Yiming wouldn't be able to do anything to him."
Cheng Ningsheng looked at him meaningfully. He seemed to have accepted his explanation and didn't say anything else.
This time, the joint attack of the Cheng and He family achieved the desired result.
Under Cheng Ningsheng's instructions, everyone moved the corpses back. According to Cheng Ningsheng, these corpses were to be whipped and beheaded as a sacrifice to the dead Cheng family members.
He Yiming naturally wasn't interested in these things.
However, after this battle, the relationship between the Cheng and He families had obviously improved a lot. Moreover, He Quanxin had also agreed to Cheng Jiahui's request for a marriage alliance. Both sides agreed that after the New Year, it would be the big day.
In this regard, He Yitian's performance was neither servile nor overbearing, which deeply pleased the elders of both sides. However, He Yiming knew. For his elder brother, as long as it was beneficial to the family, it didn't matter whether he married a girl from the Cheng family or a girl from the Xu family.

After bidding farewell to the Cheng family, He Quanming naturally stayed in the city, while He Yiming followed his uncle back to the main family.
This birthday celebration for the Cheng family had led to so many unforeseen events. It was indeed far from what ordinary people had expected.
After returning home, the treatment He Yiming enjoyed was completely different. Whether it was the elders in the family, or He Yitian and his brothers, they all valued him very much. Even when he casually said something, he would seriously consider it.
This change was extremely obvious. Although Yi Tao, who was closest to He Yiming, did not understand why there was such a change, he was also keenly aware of it.
Among the three generations of the He family, He Yiming had become the most special existence.
After a few days, He Yiming, who was not quite used to it, still went through the days of secluded cultivation. After the day he announced his seclusion, no one dared to disturb him. Even He Yitao was pulled by the ear by He Quanyi several times.
He Yiming's cultivation had become a top priority in the family, and no one dared to lightly neglect it.
Day after day, when the hot summer slowly passed, the power of the autumn tiger gradually decreased, and when winter came, another half a year had passed.
Although there was no distinction between day and night in the secret room, the change in temperature allowed He Yiming to know the passage of time in the outside world.
In the past six months, He Yiming did not relax on himself for a single day. He devoted all his attention to cultivation.
For a full half a year, his main internal strength cultivation method had changed from the metal attribute Mixed Yuan Force to the fire attribute Raging Inferno Technique.
The higher the level of internal strength, the more difficult it was to improve.
Before He Yiming's internal strength was promoted to the ninth level, he did not have a very deep understanding of it. But when his internal strength was promoted to the ninth level, he had a clear understanding of it.
The ninth level of internal strength was only one step away from the tenth level.
It was indeed very difficult to improve one's Internal Strength at this stage. Although He Yiming's physique was special, as long as he was willing to work hard, he would gain more if he practiced a little more. However, if he wanted to go further, it would not be as easy as before.
The metal attribute Mixed Yuan Force and the water attribute Ripple Technique were not as effective as the Raging Inferno Technique.
But after a month of crazy cultivation, He Yiming unexpectedly discovered that if he was too diligent in cultivating the Raging Inferno Technique, it would cause a certain degree of burn damage to his meridians.
He immediately understood that in the Xu family, there must be some kind of strange cultivation method that could eliminate this hidden danger. Otherwise, Xu Xiangqian would not be able to cultivate this internal strength cultivation method to the ninth level.
It was just that the cultivation method that was compatible with the Raging Inferno Technique was not recorded in the copied book.
If other people injured their meridians while cultivating the Raging Inferno Technique, they would have to go through a lot of trouble to make up for it. But He Yiming's physique was indeed different from others. He could even use three different attribute cultivation methods at the same time in a critical moment, and within a day after using them, he was able to recover to the point where he was more or less alive.
Such a small injury to his meridians was nothing to him. After using the water attribute cultivation method Ripple Technique to nourish them for half a day, he had completely recovered.
But after this lesson, He Yiming would switch to Ripple Technique for a day after cultivating the Raging Inferno Technique for three days. After combining fire and water, the meridians in his body did not show any signs of being injured again.
What he did not know was that if the Xu family were to find out about this, they would definitely be tongue-tied and would not dare to believe it.
For a tyrannical internal strength cultivation method like the Raging Inferno Technique to be cultivated at the same time as a normal water attribute cultivation method like Ripple Technique, and to even have a strange effect of supplementing and helping each other. To them, this was definitely something that was incomprehensible.
However, since He Yiming's body had such an obvious effect, he naturally would not care so much.
It was precisely because of the rapid cultivation speed of the Raging Inferno Technique that He Yiming was able to raise the ninth level of his internal strength to the pinnacle in half a year. Moreover, he had already touched the barrier of this level.
When he had truly reached this step, he secretly snuck out of the manor and came to the depths of the dense forest behind the mountain.
Finding a secluded place, he used his internal strength at the pinnacle of the ninth level to practice all the cultivation methods he had learned.
It was not that he hated the secret underground room, but that the environment did not allow him to let loose.
He Yiming was extremely satisfied with the practice this time. Whether it was the metal attribute's Rolling Stone Fist, the water attribute's Soft Palm, or his signature skill, the Thirty-six Splitting Mountain Forms, they had all reached a level that far surpassed what he had ever achieved before.
Compared to when he had just advanced to the ninth level of his internal strength, the power that he could now display had greatly improved.
The gap between the pinnacle of the ninth level of his internal strength and the one that had just advanced to the ninth level of his internal strength was even greater than the gap between the eighth level of his internal strength and the ninth level of his internal strength.
These were all things that he had personally experienced. It also made him sigh endlessly in his heart.
It was no wonder that there were still a few experts who had entered the ninth level, but those who had truly reached the pinnacle of the ninth level were very rare. As for those who could break through the limit of the ninth level, they were even rarer.
After staying in the mountain for half a day, the only thing that made him feel regretful was that no matter how he tried, he could not reproduce the shocking blade that he had displayed when the three different types of internal strength exploded.
Even when his internal strength had reached the pinnacle of the ninth level, it was still not possible.
Although the power of the pinnacle of the ninth level was strong, it was nothing compared to that blade.
Helpless, He Yiming could only return home. He went to the family's library and began to close his eyes to choose books.
This time, he deliberately went to the cabinet with the wood attribute cultivation methods and casually picked one out.
Once again, a trace of not knowing whether to laugh or cry appeared on his face. This time, he had actually drawn another internal strength auxiliary cultivation method.
