The green stems swayed, creating fine ripples.

The pond was cool despite the morning heat, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom, their pink petals shimmering in the rippling water.

The Oolong stuck out its tongue and lay on the ground.

Liang Qu Fubo plunged into the pond, stretched out his legs, sat in the shade under the eaves, peeled Big Yellow in his hand, ate half of it in one bite, wiped the juice from his mouth, and opened the book in his hand.

I returned to Pingyang Prefecture yesterday, and received a lot of messages and events in the afternoon and this morning.

There were four important matters, all documented in paper form, neatly stacked beside Liang Qu.

One of them was a gold paper invitation for the Celestial Ship Merchant Guild.

June 18th, the same date as last year.

It is understood that the Celestial Ship Merchant Guild of Commerce's auction is held every year at this time, and it will not be easily changed unless there are special circumstances.

The Steward of delivering the invitations revealed that Ping Yang County has been upgraded to Pingyang Prefecture, Celestial Ship Merchant Guild's Southern Zhili headquarters has provided special local support, making this year's annual auction even more prosperous than last year's.

I need to go auction off my few Mermaid Tear.

You might just stumble upon something similar to Golden Eye.

The second document contains the prayers and a notice outlining the procedures for the River God Sacrifice.

The document Liang Qu was flipping through was this year's New Year's greetings.

When the Village Elder Chen Zhaoan heard that the troops from the River Conservancy Office had returned, he specially delivered the gifts this morning. The whole process was pretty much the same.

The difference is that this year's event is much more grand than in previous years.

The program notice included many new details, including but not limited to a larger altar, invited opera troupes, a more famous music and ritual ensemble, and professional costumes.

When granaries are full, people know etiquette.

Backed by Pingyang Prefecture, Yi Xing Town became increasingly wealthy, with so many people flocking in that the town continued to expand outwards.

Walking down the street, you can often see familiar faces in town holding babies in their arms.

With more money, sacrificial ceremonies inevitably become larger and larger, and if they are not handled well, they are likely to attract gossip from the villagers.

As per the procedure, Chen Zhaoan specially gathered some young and strong men to ram a Yellow Earth road from the north and south towns to the middle of Yi Xing Town. On June 6th, a large number of free handcarts will be arranged to facilitate other villagers to travel and participate in the ceremony!

Afterwards, they even organized a rally and market, basically doing everything to make it as lively as possible.

Regarding this matter, Liang Qu could only say, "Well done!" Now that he knew the Flood Dragon dared not approach the shore, and that he had the Da Shun Martial Saint "backing him up," his top priority was to accumulate as much Favorability as possible! The more people who offered sacrifices, the better.

The Fat Catfish Cannot Move. The Round Head creatures had returned from the depths of the Great Marsh and, without a moment's rest, had all been driven out to find suitable offerings.

This year, he's not just aiming for one early-stage Great Monster Spirit, he's going for three, and at least mid-stage! With multiple approaches, both scale and quality will improve, and a 1.5% Favorability is guaranteed! Auction, River God Sacrifice.

These are two important matters that need to be handled.

The third page no longer contained a to-do list, but rather a notification of the reward for slaying the giant snake in Fragrant Township County! The reward was to be distributed to River Conservancy Office by May 30th.

At that time, everyone was absorbing the strange energy in the Jiang Huai Great Marsh and did not receive the news. We only officially learned about it yesterday when we returned.

Simply put, one Gathering Vein Great Pill, plus three Great Merit!

Needless to say, the Gathering Vein Great Pill is as effective as its name suggests. Taking this pill for the first time can greatly shorten the time required to nurture a new meridian and help Wolf Smoke Martial Master condense their meridians!

The three Great Merit are invaluable strategic resources, and the items listed in the Imperial Great Merit Exchange Ledger have unparalleled and unique advantages.

Many items are unique to this brand.

Several tasks were completed one after another, and Liang Qu first received three Great Merit in one go.

The powerful advantages of resolving incidents across borders! Even if three Great Martial Master were sent, it's uncertain whether they would achieve Great Merit.

Thump.

Ta Ta Kai from the large Old Giant Clam shell into the pond, splashing out dense ripples.

Liang Qu put down the book in his hand and took out the last letter from the side of his right hand.

This is the least important of the four major events, yet it is quite unique.

A challenge letter.

A challenge letter from Demon Subduing Division Guan Congjian.

Liang Qu had some knowledge of this person.

It's because everyone here is Innate Martial Bone.

The number of semi- Martial Bone in the River Conservancy Office is countless, and almost all of them are second-generation elites from the Imperial Capital.

During the years when it was not suitable to practice martial arts, in the spare time when learning various kinds of knowledge, one would take various kinds of elixirs, supplemented with Medicinal Bath, to transform one's physique.

However, true Innate Martial Bone cannot be modified and are extremely rare. There are often only a few in a prefecture. But due to the concentration effect, it is highly likely that Martial Bone geniuses will gather in one place.

Not all places develop as rapidly as Pingyang Prefecture. Talented young people often leave their hometowns to develop in the larger prefecture.

A person with Martial Bone would obviously not be confined to a small town.

Pingyang Prefecture thus became a small peak point of the concentration effect.

The River Conservancy Office, the Demon Subduing Division, Three Laws Department Bureaus are all filled with Martial Bone geniuses, Liang Qu often hears news about the others.

There are two in the Demon Subduing Division: Qi Hongyuan and Guan Congjian.

Qi Hongyuan was born with Glass Bone. He studied under Fei Baosu, Hunting Tiger Great Martial Master. Previously, he served as a sixth-rank Demon Subduing Division Subordinate Sixth Rank the Demon Suppression Division. It is said that he was promoted this year to Principal Sixth Rank senior criminal investigator.

Guan Congjian was born with the Four Symbols Sinew Bone. He studied under the Great Martial Master He Liannianci and served as a sixth-rank Demon Subduing Division envoy in the Demon-Suppressing Division.

On the side of the Three Laws Department, there is a Zong Lichan.

Female Martial Master.

Liang Qu had little knowledge of this person and kept a low profile, but he was quite close to Guan Congjian, suggesting a possible ambiguous relationship.

The challenge letter was from Guan Congjian of the Demon Subduing Division, who intended to set a date for a fight.

Choose any day and place you like, it doesn't matter if anyone is watching, and bring up whatever bargaining chips you want.

"A martial arts fanatic?"

Liang Qu rubbed the challenge letter; the handwriting on it was messy and rather arrogant, revealing the writer's personality.

There are many martial arts fanatics in this world, Wei Lin, the commander of the River Conservancy Office, is one of them.

He enjoys sparring with people everywhere, regardless of winning or losing; he simply loves fighting, just like River Otter.

Liang Qu is probably not afraid, but he's not interested.

He was not a fighter in his life.

You have to see if someone is available before you can invite them to dinner.

Let's fight, or forget it.

"I'm not going."

The challenge letter was folded and placed at the bottom of all the documents. Liang Qu then read the blessing aloud to ensure that he wouldn't stumble or misspell words due to unfamiliarity with the subject of the letter.

The sunlight gradually shifted.

The water temperature is gradually increasing.

After lying there for a while, the Oolong twitched its ears, and in a flash, it ran off to play with the silly bird.

Whoosh!

Water splashed down.

Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe parted the Lotus Leaf and emerged from the water.

Liang Qu put down his blessing.

"All done? What positions do you two hold?"

Long Pingjiang clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Lord Ran said that the official appointment process is already underway. The Waist Token and official robes are waiting to be prepared. I will be appointed as Principal Seventh Rank Water Monitoring Official. Ping He is one rank lower than me. From now on, I will be under your command!"

Liang Qu nodded. He was currently a seventh-rank official, but he was about to be promoted.

"Where are the others?"

Everything is arranged.

Long Pingjiang explained earnestly.

The Dragonfolk Clan dispatched a total of four Wolf Smoke Dragonfolk and eighteen Galloping Horse Dragonfolk.

Among them, Long Pingjiang held the highest rank, Principal Seventh Rank official, serving Water Monitoring Official responsible for commanding a portion of the soldiers, followed by Long Pinghe.

The two men had mostly soldiers from the second, third, or fourth passes under their command, and they were officials with real power.

The River Conservancy Office did not treat the matter carelessly, giving him a nominal position.

There are actually a lot of Martial Artist in the entire River Conservancy Office, most of whom are soldiers with low strength but a large number of them, mainly responsible for logistics and routine defense.

After finishing speaking about the Dragonfolk's appointment, Long Pingjiang said, "There is one more thing..."

"What is it?"

"The Elder not only sent the two of us to lead the way for the master, but also two Dragon Girl who wanted to serve the master at his residence. They are currently waiting in the Great Marsh and dare not visit him rashly."

Liang Qu was slightly surprised.

Did Long Zongyin have this plan? He pondered for a moment.

"Bring them over here."
