The County Magistrate Three Feet High

Although the Dragon Elephant Longevity Art is more difficult, its brilliance lies in cultivating while sleeping.

At this rate, I'll break through to Proficient in five or six days.

He glanced at his lifespan, still 61 years, and couldn't help but sigh, "I wonder at what stage of cultivation the Dragon Elephant Longevity Art starts to extend lifespan."

"Second Young Master, it's time for breakfast."

A servant called from outside.

Lu Yuan replied, "Got it."

After washing up, he went immediately, only to find Lu Cheng's expression somewhat grim and his mood very bad. He couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, what's wrong? Is there a problem with the family business?"

Lu Cheng said hatefully:

"Yesterday, the pharmacy was poisoned. Although it was discovered in time and the poisoner was caught, the medicinal ingredients had already been sold. I sent people to retrieve the poisoned ingredients, but it was still a step too late. Someone was poisoned. People don't know the reason, they only know that someone was poisoned after buying medicine from our Lu Family pharmacy, which will have some impact on our reputation."

Lu Yuan frowned:

"Who did it? Li Yong?"

Lu Cheng snorted coldly, "That person is tight-lipped and won't reveal anything, but besides Li Yong, who else would do this?"

"Is the poisoned person serious?"

"He was treated in time, so it's not serious. It's just that the poisoned person's identity is not simple; he is the county magistrate's nephew. I have to bring gifts to apologize after breakfast."

Lu Yuan looked at Lu Longjing, "Father, given Li Yong's nature, I'm afraid such insidious methods will only increase. We can't just sit and wait."

Lu Longjing said solemnly:

"Don't worry, Li Yong won't dare to make any rash moves for at least a year."

"Why?" Lu Yuan was a little confused.

Lu Longjing retorted, "You know our county magistrate, right?"

Lu Yuan nodded, "I know. He's three feet high, Third Foot Zhou, a great corrupt official."

The county magistrate of Lingbao County was the notorious corrupt official.

In the entire Lingbao County, if not everyone, then 99% of people knew that Third Foot Zhou was a great corrupt official.

The saying "three years as an honest prefect, ten thousand taels of silver" was not just a saying; it was surpassed by Third Foot Zhou.

In the entire Lingbao County, there were four largest powerful families and landlords, but the richest was not them, but Third Foot Zhou.

For ten years as county magistrate, he had a hand in every profitable business in Lingbao County.

This guy plundered the people's wealth and exploited the common people to the point of scraping the land so hard that the sky rose three feet higher, hence the 'reputation' of Third Foot Zhou.

Lu Longjing continued, "Although Third Foot Zhou is a great corrupt official and extremely greedy, he is not a fool. On the contrary, he is very smart and ruthless. It's not easy to deceive him, otherwise, how could he hold the position of county magistrate for ten years?"

Lu Yuan suddenly realized, "Father, you mean that Third Foot Zhou must know that Li Yong is the mastermind behind this poisoning. This means Li Yong will have to pay a heavy price."

"More than just a heavy price? With this handle, Third Foot Zhou will at least cripple Li Yong. Just dealing with Third Foot Zhou will be enough to exhaust him. How could he dare to make a move against us, unless he wants to be completely devoured by Third Foot Zhou."

Lu Longjing smiled confidently:

"For this poisoning incident, our Lu Family will indeed have to bleed a little, but Li Yong will be crippled. And during the time he dares not act rashly, we can pursue him relentlessly!"

"Father's fame!"

Lu Yuan gave him a thumbs up.

Compared to his father, an old fox who had been through the ups and downs of the business world for decades, he was still too young. He had already thought of a countermeasure and turned a crisis into an opportunity.

Lu Cheng also understood his father's plan at this moment, and the gloom on his face vanished, "Father, why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me worry for so long for nothing."

"I originally wanted you to figure it out yourself, but I didn't expect your stubborn mind to take a whole day and still not figure it out," Lu Longjing shook his head.

"This son is ashamed."

Lu Cheng lowered his head in shame.

After breakfast, Lu Yuan went with his father to tour the family's shops to see if there was anything within his capabilities to help with the family business. To his surprise, there was nothing for him to interfere with; everything was meticulously arranged by his father. He could only sheepishly return to practice martial arts.

Another five days passed in the blink of an eye.

He woke up feeling refreshed.

In the past few days, Lu Yuan had also discovered another great benefit of the Dragon Elephant Longevity Art: it could subtly regulate bodily functions.

Upon waking, his body was nourished, his blood and qi were harmonious, and his spirit was refreshed, the wonder of which was indescribable.

Simply put, it could subtly enhance Lu Yuan's cultivation efficiency.

[Name: Lu Yuan]
[Age: 16]
[Talent: High-grade Talent]
[Lifespan: 71 years (24 years remaining)]
[Cultivation Techniques: Ox Demon Fist (Peak Mastery 100%), Great Gale Saber Technique (Peak Mastery 28%), Dragon Elephant Longevity Art (Proficient 1%)]

It took Lu Yuan six days to finally cultivate the Dragon Elephant Longevity Art to the Proficient stage.

If he were to rely on his own senses, apart from feeling refreshed every morning upon waking, there were no other changes. He couldn't feel his lifespan extending.

It was only because he had the status panel that he could visually see his lifespan increasing.

In fact, the status panel alone was a pretty good cheat, as it allowed one to clearly see their own progress.

Why did so many people give up halfway? It was because they couldn't see their own changes and didn't know when they would see results.

If there was a status panel that simply displayed one's own changes, it was believed that more than half of those who gave up would persist.

The Dragon Elephant Longevity Art only took Lu Yuan six days to reach the Proficient stage.

For an ordinary person, it would take half a year to a year to practice. Even if they reached the Proficient stage, they wouldn't feel significant changes in themselves or know that their lifespan was increasing, making it inevitable to doubt if they were wasting their efforts.

"Talent costs lifespan?"

Lu Yuan asked silently.

[Eighty years]

"Holy crap, it takes twenty-five years to go from Medium-grade Talent to High-grade Talent, and eighty years to go from High-grade Talent to Genius?? Then the lifespan cost for Peerless Prodigy and Innate Sage must be an astronomical figure."

Lu Yuan was shocked.

Just imagining it, he knew those must be unattainable numbers.

"Dragon Elephant Longevity Art! Proficient, Mastery, here I come!!"

Knowing that his chosen path was correct, Lu Yuan was filled with motivation, wishing he could immediately cultivate the Dragon Elephant Longevity Art to the Peak stage and gain several hundred years of lifespan.

Time flew by like a white steed glimpsed through a crack. Over these eight months, Lu Yuan's days were simple yet fulfilling.

Apart from occasionally helping out at his family's shop, all his time was dedicated to martial arts.

And he was finally facing his Second Blood Change.

It had been a year since he awakened his past life memories and activated his cheat, yet he had only just managed to undergo his Second Blood Change. He wouldn't even be considered a master in a single county.

As a transmigator, his life was too much of a failure.

Didn't you see some transmigrators dominating the world within a year?
