A Change of Tack
The thick, green vines glowed brightly, and the stone wall rippled with light.
Liang Qu sat cross-legged, his Five Hearts Facing Skyward.
The rich, viscous Blood Qi seeped into the bones, bringing a tingling, numbing pleasure.
After his Blood Qi were completely depleted, Liang Qu let out a Long Qi.
More than a month has passed since the Flesh Barrier barrier was broken.
In just over a month, he consumed four Treasure Fish and one Spirit Monster, along with daily Medicinal Bath and a supply of Qi Recovery Pill, Bone Barrier.
The presence of Dragon Tendons Tiger Bones will not help Bone Barrier Breakthrough.
Breaking through a barrier is equivalent to a special enhancement. For an ordinary person, Bone Barrier Breakthrough only increases their bone mass by 1, but for him, it increases his tiger bone mass by 1. They are not comparable.
This is why Innate Martial Bone is highly regarded; it not only provides an initial advantage but also has greater staying power, allowing it to snowball.
Water-Nurturing Vitality, has countless wonderful uses.
Liang Qu continued to dig and experiment, and discovered that in the water, he could not only absorb the Marsh Essence at a rate of a little bit every day, but also guide the flow of Blood Qi more smoothly.
The speed of circulating the "Circulating Qi Inscription" is one step faster than on land! Others need the help of Spirit Concentration Incense, but Liang Qu only needs to soak in the river, and the interior of the giant rock where Water Ganoderma grows is a natural Quiet Room.
Quiet, undisturbed, with plenty of moisture and light.
The recovery of Qi and Blood has also become faster. Originally, it could be restored three times a day, but now it can be restored three and a half times a day, which means that it can be restored one more time than the average person.
Over time, this means that you will be one-third ahead of others in terms of the time it takes to complete a level.
Liang Qu is still unclear whether this is due to the Water-Nurturing Vitality or the enhanced recovery power brought about by the Dragon Tendons Tiger Bones.
Or perhaps both? Judging from the current speed and situation, he will be able to break through the barrier and become Three Gates Martial Artist in less than ten days.
When Senior Brother Hu first started teaching apprentices at the Martial Arts School, he was only Three Gates Martial Artist. Later, he achieved the fourth level, registered as a true Martial Master, and started receiving Imperial Grain.
Three Gates Martial Artist has passed the highest level of martial arts is a worthy guest of honor in a small Lineage.
Not to mention, with the added strength of the Dragon Tendons Tiger Bones, Liang Qu felt that his strength was not much worse than that of Senior Brother Hu.
As for changes in Root Bone, Master Yang explained that many special constitutions are initially latent, especially in poor households.
Insufficient innate nourishment can cause some extraordinary Martial Bone to fall into dormancy and become introverted, which is a self-protective function.
Otherwise, excessive consumption, coupled with the lack of sufficient food for poor households, could lead to death.
It's somewhat like having insufficient Qi and Blood, and forcibly trying to break through the barriers.
Liang Qu broke through the Flesh Barrier, and the intense stimulation of Qi and Blood allowed his Martial Bone to reappear.
This is not made up; it is written in black and white in Yu Guan Xiu's Reflections on Life and Cultivation "! That is why Liang Qu dared to appear openly in the Martial Arts School; he knew he was not an exception.
Furthermore, the "Long Jiaos Crossing the River" was proof of his extraordinary Mortal Bone, so none of the senior brothers had any reason not to believe it, and they were convinced that their junior brother would be extraordinary in the future.
Having a Fate Standard is really great; it can explain everything.
Liang Qu swam out from the boulder, and Fat Catfish patrolling around the rock approached and pulled him to the surface.
Having broken through the Flesh Barrier, his spiritual power increased again, but since there was no need to control it yet, he would save it for now.
The edge of the Deep Water Area was not as dangerous as imagined; most of the Spirit Monster were of similar strength to the Armored Beast, so we could continue to go deeper.
You can also explore the small river in Ping Yang Town to see if it really is Flood Dragon swimming across it.
This is the plan for the next few days.
Back on the ship, the sky was overcast and the air was heavy and stuffy.
Lightning ripped through the gray sky, and thunder roared like it was striking a gigantic iron pot, which was placed upside down above the world.
A light rain began to fall.
The Awakening of Insects.
Spring has arrived.
Liang Qu returned to the dock in the rain.
Despite not being attacked, the entire Yi Xing City seemed to be in ruins, with wooden houses under construction everywhere outside the original countryside, increasing in size several times over.
Some wealthy and powerful people who had fled here bought several large houses with their belongings and hired people to repair them.
But no one was smiling.
I thought the disaster victims would only stay for a while and then leave, but a few days ago I heard that the disaster victims are not leaving and will settle here in the future.
It caused widespread panic.
This was because during this period, the disaster victims had to bear the cost of the food provided by the government each day, except for the relief grain.
I heard that other prefectures are procuring and transporting grain, but it will take some time. I wonder when the grain will arrive.
"Master Liang!"
"Hello, Master Liang."
"Water Bro".
"Master Liang is setting sail again."
Pedestrians, shielding themselves from the light drizzle, still managed to wave hello.
Liang Qu nodded.
There were people he didn't know, and people he did know.
Many disaster victims from other places were learning for the first time that in the small Yi Xing City, the most capable and influential people were not the local Village Elder.
It was Liang Qu, this young man.
When I first heard about it, I was incredibly surprised. There was no such thing anywhere else. But after getting used to it, I started calling him Master Liang or Water Bro along with the other villagers.
The main house and two side rooms next to it in the two-courtyard compound have been completely built, with only the side rooms and the main house in the backyard yet to be bricked.
However, the main framework has already been built, so it won't get wet in the rain.
With sufficient manpower, the speed will naturally be faster.
Since the disaster victims arrived, a large number of them have come asking for work, asking for nothing but food, which has made the original villagers very nervous.
Liang Qu was not stingy and gave them a meal, but the treatment was different from that of the locals. The ten copper coins were gone, and they only had the meal.
Even so, the disaster victims were moved to tears.
We'll be able to move in in another month.
Liang Qu briefly reviewed the progress and rushed back to Ping Yang Town.
According to inside information from Master Yang, an envoy would arrive this afternoon to distribute rewards.
At noon, Liang Qu changed into his most presentable clothes and waited quietly with his fellow disciples at the Yang Residence.
In the hall, Yang Dongxiong's ears twitched.
"They're here!"
The crowd filed out.
The sound of galloping Galloping Horse grew louder as a procession marched down the long street, causing the crowd to scatter.
When they were 200 meters away from the Yang Residence, they reined in their horses and slowed down.
Upon reaching the front of the mansion, the head eunuch and his entourage dismounted, their overcoats fluttering, and pulled out a yellow scroll from their robes, loudly announcing the summons.
"Yang Dongxiong of Ping Yang Town, receive the imperial decree!"
"Yang Dongxiong from Ping Yang Town is here."
Yang Dongxiong stepped forward and knelt on one knee.
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Chao River County be abolished and renamed Chao River Town, Ping Yang Town be established as Ping Yang County, Yi Xing City be established as Yi Xing Town! In addition, a River Conservancy Office and a Demon Subduing Division shall be established in Ping Yang County."
Because Yang Dongxiong and his disciples had rendered meritorious service in obstructing the Ghost Mother Sect, they were appointed as the River Conservancy Office Demon Subduing Division, and were awarded one hundred taels of gold and three Dragon Blood Warhorse!
Yu Dun is appointed as the County Commandant of Pingyang County. Lu Gangliangqu, who presented the Pinyin method and successfully stopped the sorcerers of the Ghost Mother Sect, is appointed as the River God of the River and Lake Administration, an eighth-rank official, and is awarded one hundred taels of silver and a dragon-blood horse! You shall all obey my decree, maintain the peace of the court, be responsible for guarding the territory, appease the people, and be diligent in your duties and love the people.
"By imperial decree!"
