Azure Sky Treasure Armor
Before long, numerous maids brought in a large amount of food, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, noodles, and pastries, which filled a long table in front of us.
Upon smelling the aroma, Lin Qing suddenly felt a surge of appetite and his appetite increased dramatically.
He tore off a roasted lamb leg, bit off a large piece of lamb, and began to chew it heartily.
Before long, all the roasted lamb legs were gone, but Lin Qing was still hungry and unsatisfied.
He understood that the transformation of his body had consumed too much of his vital energy, to the point that even pills couldn't replenish it, and he needed to replenish it with a large amount of nourishment.
While Lin Qing was indulging in a feast, the Soul-Calming Office had already issued a notice, rewarding the Constable who had rendered meritorious service in the recent Blood Calamity with varying degrees of rewards. Among them, Lin Qing received the most generous reward, especially after being appointed as a candidate for Office Chief, which caused a great uproar throughout the entire Soul-Calming Office.
"Chief Candidate? Constable Chief Lin's promotion speed is too fast."
"Indeed, if you're lucky, Lord Lin could potentially achieve a meteoric rise from Constable to Office Chief within a year."
"What exactly happened? How did Constable Chief Lin receive such a reward?"
"It is said that the source of the Blood Calamity was an Evil Spirits, and that Constable Chief Steward Wang together to kill this Evil Spirits. Otherwise, the Blood Calamity would not have ended by now, and countless people would have lost their lives."
"If that's the case, then Constable Chief Lin is indeed qualified to be Chief Candidate."
"Yes, but it's still extremely difficult to go from being a candidate to becoming the actual Office Chief."
In Yang Chenglu's courtyard.
Lin Qing placed a clean beef bone on another table next to him, where the remaining beef, lamb, and pork bones had already piled up into a Little Mountain.
The maids nearby were utterly shocked by what they saw.
Although Martial Artist's appetite increases significantly after their cultivation level rises, it is extremely rare to find someone like Lin Qing who can eat almost a whole cow in one meal.
"Sir, do you need more food?" she asked softly, suppressing her surprise.
"No need, I'm full!" Lin Qing waved his hand.
At this moment, the door creaked open, and Yang Chenglu walked in, carrying a blue-green Treasured Armor in his hands.
"Give it a try. This armor is called the Azure Sky Treasure Armor. It is an excellent life-saving item. It can reduce the attack of a True Gang Realm Martial Artist by 80%, the attack of Martial Artist True Essence Realm martial artist by up to 50%, and the attack of the Origin Astral Realm Martial Artist by up to 30%," Yang Chenglu said.
Lin Qing stood up and took the Treasured Armor. It felt unique to his touch, as light as if it were nothing.
He quickly put it on; it was half armor, not full armor, only protecting the vital parts of his upper body. Even so, it was an excellent life-saving Treasured Armor.
"Lin Qing, why did you eat so much at once?" Yang Chenglu also noticed the pile of beef and mutton bones on the table.
"My lord, I felt unbearably hungry after I woke up, and I don't know why," Lin Qing said.
"Perhaps you were affected by the Yin Qi, causing a deficiency of qi and blood. This is a minor matter. If you are hungry, just eat as much as you like. The Soul-Calming Office has more than enough to satisfy you," Yang Chenglu said.
"Yes, sir!" Lin Qing nodded.
Yang Chenglu spoke, he placed a small, dark green medicine bottle on the table.
"Here is the Soul-Nourishing Pill you requested. During this time, focus on recuperating here and try to avoid going out. The Prefectural City is not peaceful, and the Yinyuan Sect may be eyeing you. If you have to go out for important matters, I will send someone to protect you secretly," Yang Chenglu said.
"Thank you, sir." Lin Qing nodded slightly.
After Yang Chenglu finished speaking, he turned and left. A while later, someone else came to the door, and it turned out to be Li Ping and others.
"Lin Qing, how are you? I heard you were unconscious for three or four days." Li Ping asked with concern as soon as he entered the room.
"It's nothing serious, my injury will heal in a few days," Lin Qing said, first instructing the maid to clear away the beef and mutton bones on the table, and then pouring a cup of hot tea for each of the four of them.
"Brother Lin, you're amazing! The Soul-Calming Office just announced that you're one of the Chief Candidate." Wei Dong took a big gulp of hot tea, then spat it out as if he'd burned himself, grimacing as he spoke.
"Yes, Lin Qing, you're quite the celebrity in our Soul-Calming Office now. You might even become the Office Chief this year. I never dared to dream of it. You're amazing!" Ma Ziye exclaimed.
"It would be very difficult to become the Office Chief within a year. There are only three Office Chief positions, and the martial arts realm must be above the True Gang Realm. However, I don't care. Strength is the most important thing." Lin Qing rubbed his teacup with his hand and said softly.
"Lin Qing is right. We should have this mindset. Don't be trapped by fame and fortune. Our own strength is the foundation." Li Ping nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, Lin Qing, once you're healed, I want to ask you for martial arts lessons," Ma Ziye exclaimed.
"As long as you're willing to learn, I'll definitely teach you diligently," Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Brother Lin, me too, me too! I want to learn too!" Lin Shurou said with a smile.
So, for the next period of time, Lin Qing stayed at the Soul-Calming Office's headquarters to recuperate his soul.
The news that Lin Qing had been appointed as a candidate for the Office Chief spread like wildfire throughout the entire Prefectural City.
The Luo Family Mansion.
"Master, this is terrible! That little bastard Lin Qing has stolen the show during the Blood Calamity and has already been appointed as Chief Candidate. At this rate, he'll be Office Chief in less than three years! I regret it now. Tai'er has offended a powerful figure!" For the first time, Madam Luo was afraid. In her eyes before, no matter how Talent Lin Qing was, even if he became Constable Chief, he was just a poor boy from a small county town who couldn't cause any trouble. But now, she suddenly felt that Lin Qing might very well soar to great heights and become a prominent figure in the Prefectural City. At that time, even the Luo Family would have to look up to him.
Luo Wandeng was leisurely peeling an apple when he heard this and glanced at her.
"I told you long ago, Tai'er's personality has been spoiled by you. He doesn't respect anyone. However, this little beast doesn't know how to hide his strength. Luo Wandeng sneered.
"Master, do you mean the Yinyuan Sect is going to make a move?" Madam Luo asked.
"Indeed, Lin Qing resolved the Blood Calamity. The Yinyuan Sect originally intended to take advantage of the chaos, hoping to use the Blood Calamity to distract the Soul-Calming Office Constable make a fortune in the city. However, they ended up with nothing because of this kid Lin Qing. Moreover, the Talent this kid has displayed is truly astonishing. Among the Eight Gold Tokens, his bounty has been raised to the highest level. That woman Deng Qianyu just sent someone to deliver a message to me, asking me to cooperate with a certain important figure from the Yinyuan Sect Soul-Calming Office, and strive to kill Lin Qing within a month. This time, the Yinyuan Sect is serious." Luo Wandeng said, gently placing the apple in his hand into the fruit plate beside him.
"The Yinxuan Sect always says they're going to take action; I hope they won't make a fuss this time," Madam Luo said in a low voice.
"This time it won't be like that. I heard that the big shot is True Essence Realm Martial Artist, while Lin Qing barely has the combat strength of the True Gang Realm. As long as we can catch him alone, killing him will be a piece of cake," Luo Wandeng said calmly.
"Father, the latest batch of children has arrived. This group comes from the refugee camp in Greenwater County. Some of the disobedient ones had their legs crippled by me, and now they're all behaving themselves." At this moment, Luo Tai's shouts came from outside.
"I'll go take a look," Luo Wandeng replied, getting up and leaving.
