"Martial artists with the Spirit Refinement cultivation are indeed not to be underestimated."
Despite his opponent's gruesome death on the spot, Lu Li gave him a very high evaluation.
Both of them underwent blood transfusions, but Xie Junbai's combat power is at least three times that of Counselor Wang!
He fought against himself while being pierced by two flying swords; his skill was considerable.
But even the most capable person who betrays their country and surrenders to the enemy is still a piece of harmful trash.
Lu Li never had any respect for people like that.
He manipulated the "Metal Giant Hand" to grab Xie Junbai's remains along with a lot of soil and rocks, sending a "Meteor Shower" soaring into the sky.
After the bones were crushed and the body scattered to destroy all evidence, the next step was to loot the remains.
The primary target, naturally, is the thing Xie Junbai cherishes most.
Lu Li directly extended his mind to sweep across the entire study, and in less than 5 seconds, he pulled out the jade box.
Upon opening it, there was indeed a tempting "red date" Spirit Fruit.
It was so beautiful, so translucent, that it seemed otherworldly. Lu Li's mouth watered uncontrollably; his body instinctively craved it!
"Nice one!"
Suppressing the urge to swallow it whole, Lu Li hugged the box to his chest.
But the rewards don't stop there!
Through his mind, Lu Li smelled a familiar tea aroma. He rolled it up and saw it was a tea canister containing two ounces of Spirit Tea!
"Guanyin, not bad, not bad!"
No one would complain about having too much Spirit Tea, especially since flying swords can also consume it, so Lu Li accepted it all with a smile.
At the same time, the Kunlun Mirror also extracted Xie Junbai's Divine Soul.
With a [Thoughtless Meditation] level Divine Soul, just by combining it with some mortal Divine Soul, you can have another Terminator available.
Coupled with the combat experience gained in actual combat, this trip was very fruitful.
We need to leave quickly. Although the high-ranking officials have all left the city, Jinmen is not without any defenses.
Taking out his snuff bottle and smelling the essential oil, Lu Li, aided by his Heavenly Eye, calmly walked out of the neighborhood, still having the leisure to indulge in idle thoughts:
"Xiao Cha won't be back until noon. Go home and eat some pomelos~"
~~~~~~~~~~~
The scene of the Azure Dragon Festival outside the city.
Chen Zhizhong worked his way up from a menial laborer to chief constable, and he was familiar with every position in the various police stations, from search and arrest to head constable and then chief constable.
Although he had been slapped in the face and lost all his prestige, the bond of friendship remained.
When he shows up, people give him face and aren't so resistant.
As a result, in just half an hour, all the police stations were fully mobilized and worked together to disperse the crowd.
The room became orderly, and the high-ranking officials, including the Provincial Administration Commissioner, on the platform smiled and nodded repeatedly.
Even the salt transport commissioner, who wasn't in the same system, praised the temporary replacement as a talented individual.
However, some people were puzzled; the auspicious hour was approaching, so why hadn't the Governor arrived yet?
It was clear that the Governor's faction was at ease, and no one said much, all waiting patiently.
At the same time, Xiao Cha was delighted that Uncle Chen had made a name for himself in front of the big boss and would definitely be given an important position.
Of course, I didn't dare to hope for a promotion to Tongpan (a high-ranking official), after all, my cultivation level was still lacking, and I was still a bit short of having achieved [Marrow Cleansing].
But some people didn't think that way; the face of that "Huang Dushi" had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Although it is true that one must undergo a "blood transfusion" to become a powerful official of the fourth rank, this level is not something that comes easily.
In particular, the imperial court wanted to divert resources to attack the Governor of the Two Rivers, which exacerbated the shortage of manpower.
I did have the opportunity for such a marrow cleansing, but I didn't seize it and someone else snatched it away!
Huang Dushi was seething with rage, his face turning icy cold.
Just then, he saw Xiao Cha's face beaming with joy.
"That little bitch seems to be one of Chen Zhizhong's people!"
Huang Dushi was filled with resentment and was about to lash out on Xiao Cha.
Before he could react, a whooshing sound of clothes rustling through the air suddenly came from the arena, and a graceful figure dressed in a plain monk's robe leaped over.
With her fair skin, bald head, almond-shaped eyes, and rosy cheeks, it was Xia Weiyin.
"A member of the [Killing for Benevolence Society]!"
Huang Dushi's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously took a few steps back.
He didn't dare provoke the madman Izumo Concession.
At this moment, Xia Weijun walked towards Xiao Cha and said with a smile:
"Little sister, you're Spirit Concentration? Congratulations!"
Xiao Cha replied modestly, beaming with delight, "It was just luck."
She thought she would be a "Strongman" for the rest of her life, but her husband was capable and helped her sense her Sea of Consciousness.
Only those who have reached the Spirit Refinement Realm are true martial artists, Xia Wei Weiyun praised:
"You're very talented. If you ever have any questions, come to the National Martial Arts Association and find me... Wait a minute, your body..."
Xia Weijun noticed something, and her expression suddenly changed!
She took Xiao Cha's hand and probed her Internal Breath...
"Little sister, why didn't you listen to me? Didn't I tell you that your Internal Breath is precious and shouldn't be used lightly? Not only did you use it, you also wasted your [Heart Blood]!"
Xia Weijun pulled Xiao Cha aside and said with great distress:
"At this stage, the key is to 'nourish' yourself; you can't afford to waste your Heart Blood on that! It's something you can't make up for later!"
Xiao Cha, who had previously helped Lu Li Organ Refining, asked timidly, "What consequences will there be?"
Xia Weijun shook her head, her face full of regret, and said:
"Your lifespan is directly related to your Heart Blood and energy reserves. You've used them more than once, haven't you? You probably won't live past 60."
Xiao Cha paused for a moment, then smiled and said:
"Sixty years old is enough. I can be with him for decades!"
"You gave yourself to a man?" Xia Weijun asked urgently, "Who was it! Were you deceived?!"
Xiao Cha quickly shook her head and waved her hands. "No, I forced him to drink it... I don't regret it at all."
"You... sigh..."
Hearing this, Xia Weijun could only sigh and say softly:
"Men are all heartless bastards, they can't be trusted."
Xiao Cha suddenly remembered Lu Li's famous saying about "sleeping together under the same quilt" and nodded in deep agreement.
After a few seconds of silence, Xia Weijun spoke again:
"A deficiency of Heart Blood has another harmful effect, which is a deficiency of both qi and blood, which you should be able to feel yourself."
Xiao Cha immediately replied, "It seems my Internal Breath is short by about 10%..."
"That's right," Xia Weijun sighed.
"Don't underestimate this one tenth! Refining the spine requires a single, decisive effort; missing this one tenth can mean the difference between life and death. You originally had innate talent, but now even a blood transfusion is barely enough."
This was truly bad news, but Xiao Cha didn't seem bothered at all.
Just then, accompanied by the sound of a car engine, a magnificent Mercedes-Benz 770K armored vehicle drove up.
"The Governor's official car!"
Xia Weijun quickly returned to her seat, and before leaving, she instructed Xiao Cha:
"Take good care of yourself, try not to fight with anyone, and if you need anything, go to the National Martial Arts Association to find me. Hmm... if possible, eat some spiritual food."
She sounded somewhat unsure about her last sentence.
Leaving aside how rare these spiritual creatures are, and whether ordinary people can even afford to eat them.
[Heart Blood] is a core function of the human body. This little girl has used it up twice, and ordinary spiritual objects can probably only treat the symptoms.
At that moment, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the luxury car drove up to the front of the stage.
The room fell silent as everyone waited for Jinmen's "pillar of stability" to disembark.
But the next second, a clamor arose!
The driver opened the back door, and Jiang Haiyan stepped out.
Then the car drove away...
The Governor didn't come!?
