Chapter 27
Body Tempering Realm Level 4, Visualization Technique Completed!
Despite being falsely accused, Lu Ze remained calm, looked at Butcher Li, and asked, "Uncle Li, are you sure you want to sue me?"
Upon hearing this, Butcher Li hesitated for a moment, but after glancing at Xiang Chen, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Chen immediately laughed and said, "The evidence is conclusive, and you still want to deny it! Robbing the people's property, how can such a despicable person remain in the Demon Suppression Guard? Today, I will dismiss you from your post."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ze remained calm and said, "So, if that's the case, Xiang Xiaoqi stole 100,000 taels of silver from me last night, and Feng Yue and Hu Hai can testify to that!"
Feng Yue and Hu Hai hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, we can testify!"
"And me, Dong Yu!"
"I, Li Qinian, Zhao Bin, and Zhang Yong, can all testify!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Ze laughed and said, "Xiang Xiaoqi, stop resisting and come with us to see Commander Zhao!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Chen's face darkened. He knew, of course, that such a simple frame-up would be easily exposed, but as long as Lu Ze was caught, severely tortured, and his testimony obtained, his brother-in-law Yin Xun could turn it into an ironclad case.
After all, the person was already dead, so who would hold a grudge against his brother-in-law over a dead person?
However, Feng Yue, Hu Hai, and the others all sided with Lu Ze, so it would probably not be easy for them to take people away.
Just then, another group of Demon Suppression Guards came over, led by Zhao Beichen, the commander of the Demon Suppression Guards.
He glanced at Xiang Chen and said coldly, "Xiang Chen, this farce should end!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Chen's expression changed slightly.
Just then, another group of demon-suppressing guards came over, led by a middle-aged man dressed in a blue Pixiu robe.
The junior officer's robe is green, while the cyan robe is only worn by the senior officer. Clearly, this is Yin Xun, another senior officer of the centurion's garrison.
Lu Ze glanced at the man. His profound spiritual cultivation, which was at the minor stage of visualization, allowed him to vaguely sense an incomparably strong pure yang blood and qi, far exceeding that of a martial artist who had reached the major stage of refining filth. This was not the marrow refining realm, but a great martial artist at the blood exchange realm!
Yin Xun glanced at Lu Ze, then looked at Zhao Beichen and smiled, "Brother Zhao, I heard Lu Ze just performed a meritorious service yesterday! But no matter how meritorious he is, he can't oppress the common people. In my opinion, expelling him from the Demon Suppression Guard will put this matter behind us. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Beichen sneered, "Not so impressive! They had Li the Butcher's family arrested, then used threats and bribes to frame him! Yin Xun, you're cowardly and afraid to die when dealing with ghosts, but you're ruthless when it comes to your own people. You're really something!"
Yin Xun laughed and said, "Brother Zhao, if you have evidence, you can sue me!"
He always does things cleanly and efficiently, leaving no loose ends.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Beichen sneered, "If Commander Yin wants to arrest someone, then let him try!"
Just then, a deep voice came from afar: "Yin Xun, Zhao Beichen, the Demon Suppression Guard forbids infighting. If there is a next time, you two will have to take off these clothes yourselves."
Upon hearing this, Yin Xun glanced at Lu Ze, a slight smile playing on his lips, and left with his entourage.
Zhao Beichen also left with his men.
Lu Ze understood that the one who had just spoken must have been Han Xiaotian, the centurion of the centurion's office!
General Yin Xun is already a Blood Exchange Realm Grand Martial Master, and Zhao Beichen is not much weaker. This Han Xiaotian easily suppressed the two of them, so he is probably already a Minor Grandmaster of the Condensation Realm!
Although the Qi and Blood Martial Arts are physically strong and incredibly powerful, their defensive capabilities are not particularly strong. Faced with the powerful bows and crossbows made of fine steel in the army, they would still suffer defeat in the Northwest!
However, it's different for a junior grandmaster in the Condensation Realm. With protective qi, they are almost indestructible. Apart from the methods of immortal masters, most mortal methods cannot break through their defenses!
A mere Grandmaster at the Condensation Realm can wipe out thousands of armored soldiers; he is truly an army unto himself!
Then, Lu Ze glanced at Butcher Li, said nothing, and set off with Feng Yue, Hu Hai, Dong Yu and others to begin their night patrol.
He knew that Butcher Li was most likely forced into it, but that didn't mean he could forgive him. This incident severed any remaining ties between them, and his daily source of 1 Source Point was gone.
Of course, he had already overcome the most difficult early stages, so he didn't need these few source points!
As for Xiang Chen, he was taken away by two Demon-Suppressing Guards. With things escalating this much, someone has to take the blame.
Soon after, Lu Ze and the others received a notice that Xiang Chen had been transferred and that his position would be taken over by another officer, Jiang Chen.
The following days were relatively peaceful. Song Linfeng, Yin Xun, and Xiang Chen seemed to have temporarily gone into hiding, and Lu Ze was happy to focus on his cultivation.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Early morning, at the Lu family residence.
Lu Ze checked the attribute panel.
[Host]: Lu Ze
[Source Point]: 135
Lifespan: 16/71
[Talent]: Inferior Wood Spirit Root
[Realm]: Body Tempering Realm Level 4 (Flesh Refinement 22%, Initial Stage), (Acquired Realm Level 7)
[Techniques]: Black Tiger Body Forging Fist (Proficiency 23%), Nine Yang Golden Body Technique (Seventh Level 100%), Nine Yang Visualization Diagram (Minor Success 8%).
[Spell]: None
[Martial Arts]: Flying Knife Technique • Enhanced Version (Mastery 25%), Black Tiger Fierce Soul Blade (Mastery 6%), Thunderclap Nine Transformations (Mastery 4%), Qi Concealment Secret Technique (Mastery 5%).
In just three days, Lu Ze has broken through to the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm, the initial stage of Flesh Refinement, and his arm strength has reached more than 3,000 jin. This speed of cultivation improvement is indeed amazing!
Of course, this is also the effect of taking large amounts of Jingyuan Dan.
However, if an ordinary martial artist does this, not only will a large amount of erysipelas accumulate in their body, but the actual effect will also be greatly reduced due to drug resistance!
Lu Ze possesses an attribute panel, meaning he has no bottlenecks in cultivation. He can improve with effort and become stronger by taking drugs, making him a congenital drug-taking saintly body!
This is actually a pretty good cheat code!
Of course, it was also thanks to the automatic operation of the Nine Yang Internal Force that the body was tempered and the internal poison was cleared.
In addition, after three days of purifying and refining the internal energy, the spiritual power of the Nine Yang Internal Force and the Nine Yang Visualization Diagram has also become much purer.
Besides his cultivation, Lu Ze also made rapid progress in martial arts. He had mastered both the Nine Transformations of Thunder and the Black Tiger Soul Blade, and even grasped a trace of the rudimentary form of sword intent in the Black Tiger Soul Blade.
The mastery of these two martial arts techniques was largely thanks to the sparring and training with my second senior sister, Zhao Yueling.
In addition, his body was tempered by the Nine Yang Internal Force, which cleared away impurities and hidden dangers, thus extending his lifespan by one year.
At this moment, the spiritual power of the Nine Yang Visualization Diagram was purified, and Lu Ze decided to continue taking the medicine to improve.
He took out a Spirit Essence Pill, consumed 10 Source Points to enhance it into a low-grade Nourishing Spirit Pill, then swallowed it and began cultivating the Nine Yang Visualization Diagram, circulating his energy to refine the medicinal power.
In fact, Lu Ze had already used up his original Essence Pills, but he asked his senior brother Chen Xiong to help him buy 3 more bottles of Essence Pills, which was enough for the time being.
An hour later, Lu Ze refined the medicinal power of the Nourishing Spirit Pill, and his proficiency in the Nine Yang Visualization Diagram increased to 33% of the minor success level, an increase of 25%.
The results are really good!
Of course, the main reason is that he has high refining efficiency!
Lu Ze consumed another 30 Source Points to strengthen 3 Nourishing Spirit Pills. He stayed at home for three hours to completely refine their medicinal power, and the Nine Yang Visualization Diagram was finally upgraded to the Great Completion 3.
At this moment, there were already nine golden suns in his sea of consciousness, and their condensation level had also increased significantly.
Nine golden suns shone upon his sea of consciousness, expanding its space to a radius of a thousand meters, and his mental energy could extend outwards by several feet to probe his surroundings.
At this point, it's as if they've grown eyes in the back of their heads, making it very difficult for the enemy to launch a successful sneak attack!
Most importantly, with the visualization technique fully mastered, he can now condense the Nine Yang True Qi and break through to the eighth level of the Nine Yang Golden Body Technique!
