Chapter 115: 91, 92. Peace in the north, fox spirits laugh at night (Big Chapter – Subscription Request)

Even though the An Residence was bustling with activity, the departure of Lady Zhushan and the series of consequences she brought inevitably left the An Residence feeling much emptier.

Nowadays, the An Residence was divided into three areas: the outer courtyard, the inner courtyard, and the Family Head’s residence.

The outer courtyard housed the protectors and stewards; the inner courtyard originally belonged to the An Family members, but now… as the An Family grew, many family members were assigned various duties.

These family members who received assignments moved out, settling near the An Residence, and then returned periodically to report to Miss An or cautiously expressed their “hope to take on more responsibilities.”

The Family Head’s residence was, of course, the forbidden area of the An Family, and also the most central area. The regular inhabitants here were Song Cheng, An Chenyu, Tong Jia, Ying, and Ling.

Lady Zhushan, due to partnering with Song Cheng and imparting knowledge to Madam Tong, also resided here, but now that she had left, the room was empty.

Furthermore, a chain reaction ensued with Madam Tong becoming as frantically busy as Miss An had been in the past.

Song Cheng had just managed to pull a “working overtime through the night” madam back to a normal routine, and now another one had appeared…

Did the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple have many matters to attend to?

Tong Jia hadn’t thought there were many before she became the acting Taoist Temple Master.

But after assuming the position, she finally understood why she had previously felt that way.

Because there were too many unresolved matters left by Lady Zhushan…

Lady Zhushan’s passion was in researching medicines and refining pills, so many of these matters had been neglected for a long time.

She typically applied an attitude of “do what I enjoy, leave what I don’t for later.”

However, these neglected matters weren’t really urgent.

But the timing of Lady Zhushan’s departure was perfect, leaving just after the war, when everything was calm.

So what happened?

Out of the four counties under the control of the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple, three counties were desperately seeking aid.

Why three counties?

Because… there was another one, Xiegu County, which had been massacred by the Barbarians.

Xiegu County was said to have been massacred, but there were still some who escaped the net, forming refugees, fleeing in all directions, now stumbling and wandering everywhere.

The cries of the hungry buried in the ground, people turning to cannibalism, these matters in the dust hardly caught anyone’s attention.

But Madam Tong, having walked out from the village quarters herself, couldn’t ignore it.

She handled various internal temple affairs, relieved disaster victims, refined pills, studied, practiced martial arts, treated difficult diseases, grabbed Lady Zhushan’s leftover books for careful study, plus considering the time on the road, the time eating…

Madam Tong often found that when she looked up, it was already daylight, and before she had time to react, night had fallen again. Seeing there were still many unresolved matters, she thought that if she could handle one more, perhaps a few more lives could be spared, so she buried her head and continued working. By the time she came to her senses, it was already past midnight, and returning to the An Residence would also take time, so she simply lay down and slept at the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple’s office point.

She also wished to completely delegate the tasks to the people below.

But no one agreed because it was stipulated in the temple that decisions must be made by the Taoist Temple Master.

…

Song Cheng remained leisurely.

He wandered around and whenever he had time, he would bring gifts to visit the White Camel Estate in Flower Sea Block.

The disciples of the White Camel Estate were familiar with Second Master Song, and whenever he visited, a slight notification would let him in.

The “Second” in “Second Master Song” corresponded to the “Great” in “Great Hall Master.”

Unconsciously, everyone had accepted Song Cheng’s status.

Because Song Cheng wasn’t suddenly parachuted in, his rise, although extremely rapid, was also very smooth. He had been seen by many during the Barbarian siege and Ghost Servants’ ambush. Plus, the An Family’s accumulation of acts like treating the Internal Affairs Envoy Shi’s son, setting up porridge stations, and so forth made the “Second Master Song” more naturally viewed as one of their own, without any jealousy.

And at the various entrances of the Prefectural City, they had already been equipped with the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple’s “Manifestation Water.”

It was harmless for ordinary people to drink.

But when a Ghost Servant drank it, their flesh would peel off, exposing their true evil spirit form.

Most of these Ghost Servants, once discovered, were slaughtered by the martial artists and the military stationed there.

However, a small portion that was not immediately killed had been tied up, shackled, and used for research.

This was Second Master Song’s instruction.

Naturally, the subordinates complied.

That day, the Martial Arts Hall reported having captured a few alive.

Song Cheng instructed them to keep watch, as he planned to take a look.

However, Song Cheng worried that he might not make any breakthroughs researching alone.

So he specifically enlisted Madam Tong.

Madam Tong hadn’t known much beforehand.

But now, having earnestly read through the Visualization Method left by Lady Zhushan, as well as books on ghosts and such, her knowledge had significantly increased.

Therefore, she agreed readily, and then took a trusted hall master from the Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple with her to meet Song Cheng.

…

The Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple, a Soul Trainer power, differed from the normal martial arts world’s internal and external affairs envoys, with its internal structure consisting of three divisions.

The first division, the Medicine Division.

It was responsible for cultivating, refining, and trading medicine.

The second division, the Harvest Hall.

It was responsible for gathering medicine, which included not only picking herbs from the mountains but also “harvesting medicine” from the Ghost Servants, “harvesting medicine” from demon beasts, and searching outside for suitable targets willing to become Medicinal Humans.

The third division, the Medicinal Human Hall.

It was in charge of cultivating Medicinal Humans, ensuring their stable breakthroughs, and maximally enhancing their strength. After all, a Medicinal Human surpassed their personal limits through drugs, and how far they could go depended on their performance at the time.

Among these three divisions, the most arduous, strongest, yet with the most potential, was naturally the “Harvest Hall,” as it required going out to handle matters. Cultivation resources were naturally needed to be thrown their way.
