Chapter 37 Gathering Information

"Let's do it!"

The leader of the Sea Sand Gang gave a cold shout.

"Old Hai, you..."

The Lion King's leader was surprised that the usually composed man made a decision so quickly; it was completely unlike him.

"Lion, haven't you noticed after all these years?"

"What?"

The leader of the Lion's Might gang frowned, not understanding what he meant.

"Old Hai means that our strength has been stuck at the eighth rank, which is actually intentional on the part of the inner city, just to make it easier for them to control us!"

"Therefore, resources related to cultivation are provided... but very little!"

"Of course, if you unexpectedly break through to the seventh rank, you will also die without anyone noticing after a period of time."

"That was the case with Tiger's father, it's just that it was so long ago that you don't know about it."

The leader of the Big Wind Gang began to explain.

Immediately, the leader of the Lion Might Gang burst into curses, "Damn it, isn't this outer city just a pig farm? Those people are the pigs, we are the pig farmers, and that guy from Xiaolingfang is... the gatekeeper monitoring us."

He had only been in charge of the Lion's Might gang for a few years, so he had no idea about all these twists and turns.

"Your explanation is also correct."

"Let's do it! I'm almost done with my skin refining. As long as I have enough qi and blood, I'm sure I can break through to the seventh rank."

The hot-tempered man made a decision immediately.

"That's settled then. We've taken over the Tiger Head Gang and the Wild Wolf Gang. Old Feng, let the rebels come and talk to us."

The leader of the Hai Sha gang said.

This matter cannot be decided by him alone; they also need to meet with the rebels.

"no problem!"

.....

"Brother, are you taking medicine again?"

Li Yuan had just finished brewing the medicine and was about to drink it when Li Jun ran over.

"What's wrong?"

"Can you tell me a story? I'm so bored, none of them come out to play." Li Jun pouted, looking at him hopefully.

That's true. There are only a few kids his age in Liushufang, and they're not even getting enough to eat, so how can they have the energy to go out and play?

"I'm busy these few days, but once I'm done, I'll not only tell you stories, but I'll also make you a wooden sword, okay?"

"A sword?"

"Really?"

Li Jun's eyes lit up. He had heard many stories about chivalrous heroes and had long wanted a sword so that he could be a little swordsman himself.

"Of course, when has your brother ever lied to you?"

Li Yuan pinched his little nose and laughed.

"Pinky promise!"

Still clearly a little skeptical, Li Yuan smiled and tucked his two little fingers together.

"Oh, I'm going to have a sword soon, brother. I'm going to play with pebbles in the yard."

Seeing the little guy's excited expression, Li Yuan smiled knowingly.

The pebbles were also given to Li Jun by him.

"Gurgle..."

He drank the medicine in one gulp, then immediately went inside to begin his cultivation.

The bone-strengthening process must be completed as soon as possible!

...

When Li Yuan consumed the fifth of the six great medicines, his mortal bones completely transformed into Dao bones.

It has reached the limit of the seventh rank.

Feeling the vital energy contained within the Daoist bones, Li Yuan's expression showed little joy; instead, his brows furrowed.

"It seems like this is the limit!"

He looked at the four words "Heaven rewards diligence" in his mind, which still shone brightly. However, even though he had been cultivating the health preservation technique for so long, he still had not made any breakthrough. Was it really that difficult to break through to the next realm by relying on his own comprehension?

"It seems we need to find a more advanced cultivation technique as soon as possible!"

Be prepared for both possibilities!

...

in the courtyard.

Li Jun wielded the wooden sword in his hand with impressive skill.

Li Yuan, meanwhile, was practicing the Heavenly Gang Blade technique while holding a tree branch.

"Brother, take this!"

Suddenly, the little guy grabbed a small sword, kicked his little legs, and ran towards Li Yuan.

"Then you'd better be careful."

Bored with cultivation, Li Yuan's playful nature took hold. He wrapped the tree branch in his hand around his small sword like a dragon, then flicked it slightly, sending the sword soaring into the air before landing in his hand.

"You swordsman...you won't do."

Li Yuan joked.

"My precious sword!"

Li Jun ran over, snatched the child from his arms, and hugged it tightly. "Brother, you're so amazing! Can you teach me? I want to be as amazing as you to protect Mommy!"

"Well... let's give it a try."

Li Yuan patted his little head; whether it would work or not was up to him.

However, deciding which exercise to teach him proved difficult for Li Yuan. He had several books on hand, but in the end, he chose the family's traditional health-preserving exercise, which he was most familiar with and comfortable using.

"Yes, that's it... Got it... Then practice hard."

After giving him some pointers, Li Yuan had him sit on his small wooden board.

The little guy wasn't just talking; he listened very attentively from beginning to end.

"That's all I can do to help you, brother."

.....

Time flies.

As expected, Li Jun had absolutely no talent for cultivation, but he didn't give up. He cultivated for several hours every day to pass the time.

kitchen.

The family of three is eating breakfast.

"Ah Yuan, this war has been going on for over half a year, why isn't it over yet?"

Wang Xiulan put down the bowl in her hand and sighed.

"Did you dream about my dad again?"

Ever since Li Shouyi was conscripted into the army, she has dreamed of him in this way every time.

"Um!"

"I'm worried. Even though your father went to work as a military doctor in the rear, I'm still not at ease."

"Will everything be alright?"

"No way!"

Li Yuan could only offer words of comfort, but the truth... he had no idea. "By the way, Mother, I'll go to Xiao Mo Fang to ask Brother Qiu for some information."

"Alright, he works for the government, so he's much better informed than we are."

Wang Xiulan quickly nodded, "Then I'll make you some food to take with you."

.....

Xiao Mo Fang (Little Ink Workshop)

Li Yuan carried two jars of wine and some food to He Qiu's tofu shop.

"The door is open!"

He walked straight in, calling out, "Brother Qiu!"

Who is it?

A sleepy voice came from inside, and after a moment, Qiu Tong, dressed in official robes, came out. "It's Brother Li Yuan! What brings you here today? Please sit down!"

He was quite polite to Li Yuan.

He is the only one who hasn't looked down on his sister all these years, and he is very grateful to her.

"I brought some wine and food to visit you, brother, and I also have a favor to ask you."

The two sat down, and Li Yuan arranged the dishes.

A plate of braised pork, a large bowl of meat soup, ten pancakes, and rice.

"These were all made by my mother, Brother Qiu, please don't find them offensive."

"How could I complain! You don't know, I can only eat some steamed buns and drink some cold water during the day, and I can only eat something hot when I go back to the inner city at night."

Seeing the tempting braised pork, Qiu Tong picked up his chopsticks and said, "Then I won't be polite, brother."

"Don't mention it!"

"Let me pour you some wine."

Qiu took a big gulp of wine and a bite of meat, his mouth greasy from eating. "Auntie's cooking is really good!"

"How is Sister Qiu doing lately?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

"It's alright. I have some connections in the inner city, so I got her a shop to continue selling tofu, and she's doing pretty well."

Qiu Tong still loves his younger sister very much.

"That's good!"

Li Yuan nodded, "Sister Qiu has finally escaped her suffering."
