"No need for words of thanks, I'll drink this cup, brother!"
Qiu Tong excitedly raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. A martial artist... he had finally become a martial artist.
Given his status as a constable, he could only cultivate around the blood pool at most.
As for entering the Blood Pool... given his personality, he would never risk it to earn military merit, so he basically has no chance in this lifetime.
All that's left is to slowly grind it with potent medicine, but given his wealth, it's only worth about a hundred years at most, and he can't afford to use anything older.
Therefore, becoming a martial artist is still very difficult for Qiu Tong.
That's why he was so excited.
"Brother, we're all family, there's no need for this!"
Li Yuan quickly followed up with a drink, saying, "That's all we can do. What happens next is up to you, brother."
Martial arts training relies on money and talent... both are indispensable.
Even if helping Qiu Tong achieve the highest rank is not the limit, he has a clear conscience.
"I'm already very satisfied with being recognized, thank you!"
Qiu Tong said sincerely.
He didn't have such great ambitions; he was content with a life where he could live comfortably with enough to eat and wear and have a little money.
Qiu Yun quietly wiped away her tears. Over the years, it was her eldest brother who had taken care of her. Otherwise, how could she, a woman, have run a tofu shop in the outer city?
Today, Qiu Tong got completely drunk and ended up staying at Li Yuan's place.
As for Li Yuan, he was in the kitchen brewing another quarter of the millennium-old elixir, preparing to break through to the fourth rank today.
At that point... he would feel safe in Baoshan County, unless the county magistrate broke through to the third rank...
"A third-rank...it's not that easy."
Li Yuan stared at the flickering flames in the stove. Although he didn't know the specifics, there were some scattered records in the Southern Police Station.
This is closely related to the life chart.
Breaking through to the third rank and comprehending the Life Chart are prerequisites, and there's another point... that's also related to quality.
"Are you practicing martial arts again tonight?"
Two fair arms wrapped around Li Yuan's back, embracing him.
Qiu Yun asked softly, resting her chin on his shoulder.
Li Yuan tilted his head slightly, his fiery red lips striking his eyes. Qiu Yun had dressed up specially today, and her eyes were filled with tenderness.
I don't know if it's because he took some ancient medicine... or what, but Li Yuan got a bit hot-tempered.
Right there in the kitchen... he turned around and hugged Qiu Yun, his back to him...
The small flames in the stove cast golden hues over the kitchen.
With a tearing sound, Qiu Yun, completely unprepared, suddenly felt hot.
Ee-yah-yah...
"Nonsense..."
""
Qiu Yun blushed, never expecting to be here... this is the kitchen.
"Doesn't it feel good?"
Li Yuan asked with a mischievous grin, while casually fastening his belt.
"spit!"
"Shameless!"
Qiu Yun laughed and scolded, then jogged away from the kitchen.
"Okay, that's about right."
Li Yuan could roughly tell from the sounds coming from the porcelain jar that the medicine was about to be finished.
Practice room.
Li Yuan drank the medicine in one gulp.
The powerful effects of the drug suddenly appeared in my body.
"Fourth rank..."
'
Li Yuan was multitasking, keeping a close eye on the panel in his mind while cultivating.
With each leap in the progress of the health-preserving exercise, the excitement in my heart intensifies.
1500/1600!
1501
When they arrived in 1598, Li Yuan even stopped breathing.
1599!
Almost there!!!
Li Yuan roared inwardly. The fourth rank was right in front of him. Once he reached the fourth rank, he would stand at the pinnacle of Baoshan County.
From now on, there's no need to worry anymore; I can protect my family.
"boom!"
As a surge of warmth suddenly welled up in his chest, Li Yuan finally felt relieved, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He had reached the fourth rank.
Only about one-third of the potent medicinal effects of the ancient medicine were absorbed.
However, under this warm current, the medicine's effects suddenly became milder.
Skin, flesh, bones... were strengthened once again at this moment.
heart!
The dense, fine lines shimmered with a bright red luster.
dong dong dong....
With each heartbeat, a stream of blood different from one's own is produced, containing pure qi and blood.
At the same time, the Dao marrow also produces the same blood!
Fourth rank... Blood transfusion!
This is the final step in the middle stage of martial arts. After the complete blood transfusion, it means that he has officially shed his mortal body.
"Boom..."
'
At the last moment, the remaining warm current, carrying the medicinal effects of the great medicine, surged into the life record in the dantian.
At this moment, the tortoise shell pattern seemed to come alive.
The turtle's eyes stared intently.
At that moment, Li Yuan heard its roar.
Then the turtle's limbs slowly grew, eventually embedding themselves in its dantian like four pillars.
At that moment, Li Yuan felt a jolt throughout his body. He felt a subtle change in his body, but... suddenly, the tortoise shell diagram returned to normal.
This feeling then disappeared.
"What happened?"
He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion as he savored the feeling of that fleeting moment, but it was instantly suppressed. And just like that, the tortoise shell painting returned to calm.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yuan shook his head and let out a long sigh.
Then it sank into my mind.
[Realm: Fourth Grade (Blood Transformation)]
[Exercise Method: Health Preservation Exercise (209/3200)]
Fourth rank!
Li Yuan stared at the two words, unable to hide his excitement, but when his gaze shifted downwards and he saw that the progress of the health cultivation exercise was only 209, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Two-thirds of the medicine's effects, plus that warm current, only increased the progress by so little; one can imagine how slow the cultivation will be later on.
"It's estimated that medicines from five hundred years ago...won't be very effective anymore!"
Cultivation... cultivation... in the end, it all comes down to money!
He opened his eyes again and gently patted his palm.
Silently!
But with a loud crash, the table split in two.
Without using any of his qi and blood, he relied solely on his own control over his strength.
"It's not just that..."
That's all!
Li Yuan's entire body erupted in a frenzy, and the next moment his entire body was surrounded by qi and blood... a qi and blood protection unique to fourth-rank cultivators.
With my current strength... the aura surrounding me is the first line of defense!
The strongest thing is still the physical body!
Looking at the rounded muscles in his arms, brimming with explosive power, his physical body was strengthened with each breakthrough. After so many breakthroughs, he himself didn't even know how strong his physical body had become.
"call-
—
He slowly exhaled, his flesh and blood returned to normal, and Li Yuan returned to his normal state.
That works too!
Li Yuan nodded, which was equivalent to the "Big Muscle King" being a certain state.
Normally things are fine.
Do whatever you want!
"He's starting to look like a Super Saiyan."
He couldn't help but chuckle.
next day!
At the Southern Police Station, as soon as Li Yuan arrived, Liu He hurriedly sought him out.
But before he could speak, Li Yuan gave him a task.
"Pay special attention to these few places!"
He emphasized the word "pay attention" a little too much, and Liu He immediately understood.
"These places..."
"
He was somewhat surprised. These were all properties owned by the Yang family, so why were they specifically targeting these particular places?
"That's settled then, I'll take responsibility if anything happens."
"OK!"
Liu He nodded. Nothing serious would happen. With the government in charge, the Yang family was behaving very well.
