"Brother Qing Shan, are you back?" Zhuge Qing's heart couldn't help but feel a thrill of joy, and then she thought about her father, Zhuge Yuanhong, wanting to arrange a marriage for her, which made her feel somewhat apprehensive, yet also slightly expectant.

  "Hmm." Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "I also told your father to speak for him about a marriage proposal."

  Zhuge Qing bit her lip and stared at her father.

  Zhuge Yuanhong saw his daughter like this, couldn't help but sigh in distress. In fact, since the time when his daughter asked Teng Qingshan for the complete "Mangniu Dali Jue" (Wild Ox Great Strength Technique), he had realized that his precious daughter might have developed some feelings for Teng Qingshan.

  "I said to Qing Shan at the time, I returned to Yuan Zong's inner some elderly granddaughter and so on, for example your cousin, and also Liu Xiang sister and others, are all good girls..." Zhuge Yuanhong said this, Zhuge Qing's heart was anxious, how could her father help other girls? If Teng Qingshan marries someone else, what will happen to her?

  Seeing the anxious look in Qing's eyes, Zhuge Yuanhong smiled: "Alright, Qing! Let's just say it straight out. Your fellow disciple, Qing Shan, has devoted himself wholeheartedly to his cultivation and doesn't want to get married for now. So he rejected all those girls."

  Zhuge Qing looked at her father with anxiety and tension.

  "As for Qingqing...," Zhuge Yuanhong smiled and said, "He didn't explicitly refuse, he just said that he doesn't want to get married yet."

  Zhuge Qing was taken aback.

  "Your senior, Qing Shan, is a rare talent." Zhuge Yuanhong sighed, "I forgot to tell you that he has already reached the Pre-Heavenly stage! To reach the Pre-Heavenly strong at just 17 years old, even looking across the entire Nine States, within the past 500 years, he is the only one! Even with exceptional innate talent and opportunities, without dedication of body and mind, it would be difficult to achieve such accomplishments!"

  "Brother Qing Shan, have you reached Xiantian?" Zhuge Qing was also stunned by this news.

  "Alright. Qingqing. Father still has something to do. Going to Wugang for a trip." Zhuge Yuanhong immediately left, leaving only Zhuge Qing standing alone by the side of the road.

  Zhuge Qingmu watched as her father's figure disappeared into the distance. She said softly, "Dad, thank you." Zhuge Qing was very intelligent and could understand that what her father had just said was entirely for her own good.

  ……

  Afternoon sunshine is very bright, but Zhuge Qing's mood is very low.

  She turned around and stepped back into her boudoir.

  "I don't want to get married, isn't that a hint of refusal......" Zhuge Qing stood there, looking at the clothes on the table. "However, Teng big brother reached the first heaven at the age of 17. His mind is probably focused on cultivation, who would think of me? I'm always daydreaming. Hmm, I also can't hold him back... Sincerity moves heaven and earth, gold and stone will open!"

  Zhuge Qing took a deep breath and sat back down in his chair, continuing to sew his robes.

  Although she was encouraging herself, it was clear that her father's failed attempt to arrange a marriage for her had still affected her, and as she sewed the pouch, her mind wandered involuntarily.

  "Ah." Zhuge Qing's left hand immediately retracted.

  Only to see the left hand index finger pulp has a needle stab wound, bright red blood flowing out, this needle stab wound is not small, Zhuge Qing grabbed a piece of Xuan paper next to the table and immediately wrapped it around his index finger.

  "Oh no, what's going to happen now?" Zhuge Qing looked at her clothes.

  She had withdrawn her hand quickly, but still two drops of fresh blood dripped onto the edge of the sewn pocket. The two drops of blood seeped through the snow silk and penetrated that layer of fabric. Zhuge Qing immediately turned the clothes over to take a look, fortunately, it was only two drops of blood, which had seeped through the snow silk and fabric, and on the outside, there were only deep red stains the size of fingertips.

  The clothes are dark blue and completely unremarkable.

  "It's all dry and can't be seen." Zhuge Qing let out a sigh of relief.

  ……

  Guiyuan Temple, the residence of Teng Qing Shan.

  "Whoa!" The courtyard door opened, and Qing Yu bounced in with a big smile on her face.

  "Qing Yu, your brother is back!" A bright and cheerful voice rang out.

  Qing Yu was greatly surprised, carefully looked at Zhong Yuan, and immediately excitedly rushed over: "Brother!" Like a happy little rabbit rushing to Zhong Yuan, directly hugging the seated Teng Qing Shan, "Brother, you're back just in time! I've been thinking about you these past few days. Every day waiting for brother to come back but couldn't wait any longer. My meals aren't delicious, my sleep isn't good."

  "Really?" Teng Qing Shan blinked and said, "But I found out that my sister doesn't even come back for lunch now." Teng Qing Shan came back in the morning and then had lunch with his cousin Teng Qing Hu. As for his sister 'Teng Qing Yu', she was nowhere to be seen.

  It wasn't until later when Qing Hu told him that Qing Yu and Zhuge Yunke were often together.

  Beside him, Qing Hu sneered and said: "Really? These days, I've been eating with my soldiers, rarely see Qing Yu."

  "Older brother!" Qing Yu glared at Teng Qinghu for a moment, then helplessly looked at Teng Qingshan, "Brother, I didn't know you were back, otherwise, even if I wasn't hungry, I would have waited for you."

  "Alright." Teng Qing Shan smiled and said, "Your matter with Xiao Yun, the Sect Master has already spoken to me about it... I've also agreed. At the year-end festival, we'll bring your parents over, and once they agree, your matter with Xiao Yun is settled."

  The green rain is very careless, and at this moment, I heard it, but my face didn't blush.

  "Brother, Xiaoyu! This is the treasure I brought back from the wilderness." Teng Qing Shan said, pointing to the wine gourd on the table. "Xiaoyu, just now your brother asked me what this was, but I didn't tell him." Teng Qing Hu heard and could only blink his eyes, then chuckled: "Qing Shan, tell us now, what is this thing?"

  "Don't ask for now," said Teng Qing Shan, handing over two small bowls to Qing Hu and Qing Yu.

  The stopper was pulled out and the red wine poured out of the wineskin.

  "Gurgling..." A pale red liquid poured out of the gourd's mouth, releasing a fragrance that wafted through the air. Qing Yu and Qing Yu couldn't help but sniff their noses, and soon two small bowls were filled to the brim.

  "Drink it." Teng Qing Shan said.

  "Hmm." Qing Hu and Qing Yu, upon smelling the aroma of the wine, felt their mouths watering and immediately stopped hesitating, picking up the cups to drink.

  Gurgling~~~~

  Drank it all in one breath, clean and dry.

  "Teng Qinghu exclaimed in surprise, "A whole body of hot sweat." Qīng Yǔ's face beside him was also flushed red.

  A moment.

  "How are you feeling?" Ting Qing Shan looked at Qing Hu and Qing Yu who were in a state of shock.

  "Our Dantian has increased a lot." Qing Hu said in surprise.

  Qing Yu was also shocked, "My entire body's muscles and bones have transformed, it seems like my whole body is full of strength." As she said that, Qing Yu ran to the side and grabbed a boulder weighing over 1,000 catties from beside the artificial hill near the pool. Her slender arms exerted force, and with a "huff", the massive boulder was lifted high up.

  "I, my power, when did it become so strong?" Qing Yu was shocked.

  Qing Yu hadn't practiced much since she was young, and only started cultivating her internal energy after entering the Yuan Zong. Although she had internal energy now, just a moment ago, Qing Yu relied on her physical strength. Her body shape hadn't changed, but unexpectedly, her physical strength had increased so much.

  "My power has also increased." Teng Qinghu struck a palm, and suddenly a wild wind blew.

  "Good, let's have another half bowl." Teng Qing Shan said, and then poured another half bowl of Zhu Guo wine for each of them.

  "Drink it down." Teng Qing Shan said.

  Qīng Hǔ and Qīng Yǔ were overjoyed, and immediately drank another half bowl.

  "How does it feel now?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  "There's no feeling." Qing Yu shook her head and said, "My whole body feels comfortably warm, but it seems like there's no change in my dantian or body."

  "Green Tiger, how about you?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  "The dan tian hasn't changed, but the physical strength has increased again." Qing Hu said in disbelief, he could clearly feel the changes in his tendons, bones and muscles. "But this time's increase is much smaller than last time."

  Teng Qing Shan nodded slightly after hearing this.

  "This Zhu Guo wine is useless to you now." Teng Qing Shan said. In Tie Bian Hou Mountain, those Tie Bian Hou and even the demonic beasts were scrambling to drink the Zhu Guo wine. This Zhu Guo wine was very effective for people or demonic beasts who drank it for the first time, but the more they drank, the less effective it became, until it had no effect at all.

  And another thing!

  The better your physical condition, the more mulberry wine you can absorb. The worse your physical condition, the less you can absorb.

  Like Qing Yu, a girl with average physical strength, even if she had the strongest wine in the world, at most it would only give her an additional two or three thousand jin of strength. Comparable to a second-rate martial artist.

  The green tiger, the first bowl obviously absorbed a lot, and the second half bowl also absorbed some. The increased strength is much higher than Qing Yu.

  ……

  Like the demon beast 'Iron Arm Ape', almost all arm apes have a strength of 100,000 catties. However, Iron Arm Apes are often able to split open the Zhu Guo wine... Apparently, the effect of Zhu Guo wine is limited. Nevertheless, before Teng Qing Shan drank Zhu Guo wine for the first time, his physical strength was already close to 220,000 catties!

  Such a strong body, even surpassing the great iron-armed ape by one move.

  He took a small sip for the first time, and his physical strength increased significantly. However, as he continued to drink like this, the effect became weaker and weaker until San Qing Shan had drunk one-third of the wine, after which it was no longer effective.

  Ke Na drank, and Qing Shan suddenly increased his strength by 20,000 jin.

  At present, his pure physical strength has reached 240,000 jin.

  Although it was just a 'Virtual Dan' level, the superimposition of physical strength allowed him to fight against Innate 'Real Dan' strongmen.

  "Green Mountain, my strength has increased by at least 8,000 catties!" Teng Qinghu exclaimed, "I feel that using pure physical strength is only slightly inferior to using internal energy."

  "Is there really that much?" Qing Yu frowned instead.

  Teng Qing Shan laughed and said, "Qing Yu, this body was originally stronger and more capable of absorbing the effects of the Zhu Guo wine. But you're a girl, no need to train your muscles, if you trained, you'd be even more robust than Xiao Yun, be careful, Xiao Yun wouldn't dare marry you."

  "He dares." Qing Yu glared at him and immediately blushed, "Brother, it's still early now."

  "Haha......" Teng Qing Shan laughed and immediately looked at his cousin, Teng Qing Hu, "Cousin, although you've increased your strength by 8,000 jin, this Zhu Jiu wine hasn't fully taken effect. You need to practice hard every day, and your physical strength will continue to improve."

  "Really?" Qing Hu was overjoyed.

  "Of course."

  Teng Qing Shan nodded, having eaten the Black Fire Spirit Root. Teng Qing Shan was very clear that this 'Zhu Guo Wine' and 'Black Fire Spirit Root', even if they temporarily allowed him to rise so much, would still gradually take effect as he cultivated. The Zhu Guo Wine had been drunk for a third of it, but truly taking effect was probably only an extremely small part.

  "But the 'Tiger Shape Divine Technique' has weakened its effect on my body." Teng Qing Shan also discovered.

  The farther back you go, the harder it gets.

  Teng Qing Shan estimated that even if the energy of Zhu Guo's wine was still dormant in his body, the Tiger Form Divine Movement might not be able to convert this potential into actual strength! This Tiger Form Divine Movement was just a supreme technique of the previous life's Xing Yi Quan, and its effect on Teng Qing Shan's body would become less and less.

  One day, "Tiger Shaped Divine Technique" will be completely useless!

  Teng Qing Shan, having cultivated internal martial arts to an unbelievable extent, needs to create a superior internal martial arts technique that surpasses the "Tiger Shaped Divine Movement"!
