Putting Master Through Some Hardship

Thud! Thud thud!

In the snow-covered courtyard, Qin Yan stood shirtless, revealing muscles as tough as armor!

Zong Xiaoshan and Qin Xiaoyi continued their attacks with iron rods.

Look at the bent iron rod!

Zong Xiaoshan stopped, panting heavily. "Boss, this iron rod isn't strong enough."

It's only been one morning and it's already like this!

Qin Xiaoyi's face was pale, and his hand holding the iron rod was trembling incessantly.

"Boss, with your body now as solid as iron, I can't even scratch you."

My hands are numb from shaking.

[Conducting impact resistance training increases maximum strength by 0.5]

[Muscle control training proficiency increased by 3%]

That's all for today.

Qin Yan stretched his body; now, only Zong Xiaoshan's attacks were effective against him.

One breath in, one breath out.

Qin Yan was constantly cultivating the breathing technique of the Great Five-Viscera Immortal Abode.

[The Great Five-Viscera Immortal Abode - Part 1 (Entry Level): Proficiency 91%]

Effects: Increases base physical growth rate by 150%, recovery speed by 200%, and automatically increases three-dimensional stats by 0.2 per day.

This cultivation technique is a perfect match for Qin Yan. Now he hardly feels tired, and his recovery ability is incredibly fast.

Some minor bruises can heal perfectly in just a few breaths.

Moreover, the passive increase in three-dimensional stats can reach 6 points every month!

Even if he stops constantly pushing his limits, his growth will not stop.

Fortunately, we can now absorb the scarce Heaven and Earth Origin Qi of heaven and earth; otherwise, food alone would not be enough to sustain our bodies' energy expenditure.

"Fortunately, I've mastered the Panxin Realm, which allows me to minimize the consumption of my bodily functions; otherwise, eating would take up most of my time every day."

Qin Yan thought to himself, with his current strength of 42.2, he could easily smash someone to pieces without even realizing it.

I sorted out my thoughts.

There's still a lot to do lately: establishing the Cremation Site and finding someone to guard it!

The search for funerary objects and mass graves!

We also need to deal with the Azure Blade Gang!

Thinking about all this, Qin Yan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on!

"Boss!"

Song Bao arrived in the courtyard at that moment, bringing him good news.

Just today, Lu Chi had Lu, the Captain Lü of the county, arrest Li An and throw him in jail.

Li Wenqing is now desperately trying to find connections everywhere.

Sure enough, they sent someone to look for him!

Qin Yan looked at the Azure Blade Gang disciple before him. "Tell the gang leader I'll look into this matter!"

"Master Qin, then I'll take my leave."

The Azure Blade Gang disciple spoke very respectfully, and then went back to report.

"Hahaha, these idiots actually think they can get the boss to plead for them!"

Zong Xiaoshan sneered.

"Keep a low profile!"

Qin Yan remained calm, thinking that becoming an official was indeed the right path.

Lu Chi's single sentence could make Li Wenqing as anxious as a grasshopper on a hot pan.

That's power. Even if you're a powerful underworld figure, stepping on you is no different than crushing an ant.

Unless you are a top-tier Martial Dao expert, your family and friends are your Achilles' heel, easily manipulated.

What do we do next?

"What should we do? Of course, we should go get something to eat first. I'm getting quite hungry."

Qin Yan said casually.

Fuqing Gambling House!

Li Wenqing's face was extremely grim; his son had been arrested and imprisoned by name by the county magistrate.

When you try to ask through connections, the answers are always vague and ambiguous.

"Master, don't worry. Junior Brother has a close relationship with Lord Jiang, doesn't he?"

Let him plead for them then!

Tie Peng said reassuringly, feeling genuinely refreshed; he had long disliked Li An.

He bossed them around just because he was the gang leader's son.

They completely disregarded him, their senior brother.

The entire leadership of the Azure Blade Gang stood there like ornaments, heads bowed and silent.

I also don't understand why the county captain would target the playboy Li An like this.

"Boss, Qin Yan is here!"

A notification!

Everyone present perked up and soon spotted Qin Yan's tall figure.

Everyone present smiled kindly and treated Qin Yan with great courtesy.

"Qin Yan, what did the county magistrate say?"

Li Ping'er immediately asked, and Li Wenqing looked at her anxiously, his eyes filled with expectation.

Seeing this, Qin Yan's expression turned serious, and he sighed softly, "This time, Senior Brother Li An has really offended someone."

"What on earth happened?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wenqing's face grew even more anxious, and he hurriedly asked.

"This is also Li An's fault for acting too recklessly. Didn't Li An injure a shop assistant in my store a while ago?"

Actually, losing a little money is something that will pass.

But who would have thought that the person was related to the County Magistrate Lu's family, and the matter ended up with him.

They said they wanted to make an example of someone.

Qin Yan said with a helpless expression.

"What...!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wenqing felt his head spin, and his face turned ashen.

That bastard is always getting into trouble.

At this moment, Li Wenqing looked at Qin Yan with hopeful eyes. "A-Yan, you can speak to the magistrate and the county lieutenant, is there any way to salvage this?"

"Have!"

Qin Yan said, his face showing some difficulty. "It's just that this time it's probably going to be a huge financial drain!"

Li Wenqing took a deep breath and asked, "Sir, what would it take to satisfy you?"

"Ten thousand taels in compensation! And he'll have to spend a few days in jail."

Hiss!

For a moment, the entire lobby was filled with gasps of shock.

"What?! Ten thousand taels! Why don't they just rob us?!"

Li Ping'er's eyes turned red with anger; they were going to raid their house!

Li Wenqing staggered a few steps; he hadn't expected his opponent to be so ruthless!

It's utterly ruthless!

"Father, what should we do?"

Li Ping'er looked at her father with some panic and helplessness.

Li Wenqing took a deep breath at that moment.

That's my own son!

That's my own son!

That's my own son!

Tell County Magistrate Lu that I will gather the ten thousand taels as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Master. I'll arrange for someone to take good care of my senior brother in prison!"

Qin Yan spoke with a serious expression.

"Thank you for your trouble!" Li Wenqing managed a weak smile.

He waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave.

That evening, Qin Yan received news that Li Wenqing had begun selling off his assets and was actively raising funds for compensation.

Prison!

"Brother, you're ruthless."

He's still your senior brother, after all!

Lu Chi chuckled softly, picked up a piece of tripe with his chopsticks, placed it in the hot pot, and gently swished it a few times.

"I must say, the hot pot you invented is really good; I'm sweating even in the dead of winter."

"Li Wenqing wants me to be this kid's subordinate. If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll get out of control."

Qin Yan smiled and poured Lu Chi a full glass of wine.

From the nearby prison cell, Li An's screams echoed incessantly.

"Old Zhang, your men haven't eaten, their voices aren't loud enough."

Hit him hard! Give my brother Qin some revenge!

What kind of person am I, Brother Qin?

Lu Chi drank the wine in his glass and gave an order to the jailer next to him.

"Don't worry, Lord Lu, I'll have those bastards give me a good beating right away!"

When Old Zhang's name was called, his expression immediately turned serious, and he hurriedly walked towards the nearby cell.

A moment later, Li An's piercing screams grew even louder.
