"In the gang, I'm in charge of purchasing medicinal ingredients. Sometimes I also have to help the deputy gang leader intercept a batch of ingredients for cultivation. At the same time, I'm also responsible for collecting any Mountain Treasures that occasionally appear in the markets outside. All the major pharmacies in the city recognize me."
"If I use my gang's token, I can get large quantities of medicinal ingredients from the major pharmacies in the city at cost price."
After begging for mercy and explaining his usefulness, Qingwen Long handed over a wooden token engraved with a black tiger.
Yang Qingyun took it, His brow furrowed, and his mind fell into deep thought.
Killing this person would certainly vent the anger in his chest.
But this token would be useless then.
And since all the major pharmacies in the city had been instructed by the Black Tiger Gang, it would be difficult for him to get his cultivation supplies in the future.
Although the Weilong Martial Arts School had sent a batch of medicinal ingredients, It was still because of the recent conflict that the Weilong Martial Arts School's consumption was clearly not small, and it was unlikely to fully support his needs.
Moreover, Zhou Xiong was no longer in charge of the Weilong Martial Arts School. If he could have an additional source of medicinal ingredients, that would be best.
Thinking about it now, It seemed that his conflict with this Qingwen Long hadn't reached the point of fighting to the death.
Yang Qingyun quickly found a reason to convince himself.
With a decision made, he secretly thought to himself:
"The consumption of the Longevity Technique is truly too great!"
"If it were the Spiritual Qi Resurgence era, it would be fine, as the Spiritual Qi in heaven and earth could support the consumption. But in this old era, one can only compensate for the loss of vital energy during cultivation through large quantities of various medicinal ingredients and tonics, otherwise, it's impossible to quickly increase strength without damaging the body's foundation."
"With the realm comprehension from my previous life, I actually don't lack martial path insights. What I truly lack are the vital energy from food and medicinal ingredients to support my realm, and more resources to help me advance further!"
"This is why I don't stay in the deep mountains and old forests to cultivate diligently. Without sufficient resources, how can I quickly improve my realm and strength?"
"Compared to the improvement of strength, a little conflict can be put aside."
Yang Qingyun thought to himself.
In the face of sufficient benefits, his magnanimity was still very broad.
Moreover, even if he let Qingwen Long go now, it might bring trouble in the future, but in his opinion, it was not worth mentioning compared to what he gained.
However, He couldn't let this person off so easily!
Yang Qingyun's gaze sharpened, He suddenly struck out with a palm. As the strong wind descended, Qingwen Long was instantly terrified, his heart plunging into a cold, endless abyss!
But that palm did not land on his head. Instead, it struck his shoulder!
With a dull thud and a crisp cracking sound, his left arm was dislocated and broken!
Qingwen Long let out a muffled groan, His face turned pale from the pain.
"You can escape the death penalty, but not the punishment for your crime. This is a penalty for your offense!"
"Also, you'd better hope this token really has the effect you claim it does. Otherwise, I don't mind making another trip, but at that time, things won't be so easily resolved!"
Yang Qingyun weighed the token in his hand, a cold smile on his face, and stared at the kneeling Qingwen Long:
"You can also try to escape, or seek your gang leader's protection, and see if I can kill you!"
Yang Qingyun was not bluffing with these words.
If Qingwen Long played him for a fool with his words, He truly wouldn't mind storming the Black Tiger Gang and crushing him to death!
No one could save him!
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! Young Master's strength is heaven-defying. This humble one was blind and didn't recognize a true dragon. How could I dare to deceive the Young Master now!"
Qingwen Long endured the pain of his broken arm, sweat pouring down his face, and said with his head bowed.
At this moment, He truly couldn't muster any thought of revenge.
The second elder, who was at the peak of the Entering Realm, was killed in three moves. In Huangshi Town, his strength could be considered unrestrained. If he really wanted to kill himself, even the gang leader might not be able to protect him!
"Take care of yourself!"
Yang Qingyun gave him a deep look, took the token, and turned to leave.
Until Yang Qingyun's figure completely disappeared outside the door, The disheveled Qingwen Long slumped to the ground, as if all his bones had been removed.
He gasped for air, His entire body was drenched in sweat, completely soaking his clothes.
Just managing to escape with his life, He endured the pain from his broken arm and turned his head to look at the rock garden behind him.
Watching the Second Elder, who had already lost all signs of life, now hidden within the rock garden, gave him another headache.
Although he had saved his life, The subsequent handling of the situation was also a huge hassle.
Yang Qingyun didn't know or care how Qingwen Long would deal with the aftermath.
One day later, Wang Xiaoshi returned to the courtyard with a token, having swept clean the high-end medicinal ingredients from the pharmacy in Huangshi Town.
With an extremely rich reserve of medicinal ingredients, Yang Qingyun began to refine pills and use medicinal baths concurrently to cultivate and improve his realm and Blood Essence.
At the same time, After each consumption of pills or medicinal bath, he never forgot to practice the Blood Melting Body Tempering Fist again and again.
Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, Until it reached the depths of his bones and muscles, accelerating the conversion of the medicinal essence into Blood Essence.
And by continuously tempering and sweating, he expelled the subtle medicinal toxins from the ingredients and pills, preventing them from accumulating in his body and affecting his health.
Refining pills, consuming them, practicing the fist technique...
The days passed in Yang Qingyun's regular cultivation.
With ample medicinal ingredients and Yang Qingyun's diligent cultivation, he could feel his cultivation realm steadily improving at a visible rate.
Although it was not easy for Yang Qingyun, exhaustion filled every muscle and nerve by the evening each day.
But the feeling of steady progress still brought joy to Yang Qingyun's heart.
The next day, he once again poured all his energy into cultivation.
During this period, The conflict between the Sifang Society and the Black Tiger Gang in the outside world became increasingly chaotic, with large-scale gang fights frequently occurring in the streets, causing the entire Huangshi Town to become quite desolate and rife with disorder.
However, none of this temporarily affected Yang Qingyun, who was diligently cultivating at home.
With Wang Xiaoshi, an entry-level martial artist, serving as a facade, it was enough to deter petty criminals. If that wasn't enough, Qingwen Long could always be called upon to resolve matters. Moreover, occasional visits from Zhou Weilong made it clear that the owner of the house was not to be trifled with, making this street relatively peaceful.
Time passed day by day, In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
After this period of effort, Yang Qingyun had finally raised his cultivation to the Peak of the Entering Realm.
He was now only one step away from the Viscera Refining Realm!
The second update will be a bit later.
I will try to adjust it later and return the updates to noon at 12 PM in a couple of days.
