Chapter 18 Breakthrough Shortcut
"This time, solving the case and arresting the murderer is considered a ninth-level merit. In addition, I am also rewarded with two low-grade Yuan stones, three packs of blood energy powder, and ten taels of silver. Take it."

Old Zhan didn't take a penny.

All the rewards were given to Fu Shaoping.

For each task completed by the Zhenwu Guards under his command, he would receive a commission of one-tenth as a captain. Of course, this was given by the Zhenwu Division system, and not deducted from the income of the Zhenwu Guards under his command.

So in the beginning.

Old Zhan made it clear.

If he did not contribute in the mission, he would only receive the commission given by his superiors. No matter what reward Fu Shaoping received, he would not take a penny.

Fu Shaoping didn't expect the reward from the Hundred Households Office to be so generous. He thought it was worth at most half a ninth-level merit.

According to this calculation, he only needs to complete ninety-two more similar tasks to accumulate one hundred ninth-level merits, and then break through to the sixth level of the Body Tempering Realm and be promoted to captain!

After collecting the reward.

Fu Shaoping mentioned the issue that he was most concerned about:
"Sir, when will Yang Shan from Huangxi Village be executed?"

"You will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate in ten days. Why, do you want to do it yourself?"

"Sir, my sword has never seen blood, so I thought I'd use it on Yang Shan. Sir, can you make some arrangements?"

"Okay, this isn't that difficult."

Due to his disability in legs and feet, the superiors of the Hundred Households Unit did not force him to carry out level eight tasks every month, but just let him continue to be in charge of the prison.

After expressing his gratitude, Fu Shaoping left the Hundred Households Office and went home.

This month's guaranteed mission has been completed.

He discussed it with Zhou Paner and planned to go to Qili Mountain again to cut down a batch of cleared wood to refine the Seventeen Furnaces Blood Qi Powder in his hand.

If there are no general criminal cases in the future, he will still have to fight with warriors.

Before that, he had to prepare for a rainy day and improve his own strength first.

The rented carriage was parked at the foot of Qili Mountain.

Fu Shaoping took out a piece of rice paper from his arms, and the topographic map drawn on it was exactly Qili Mountain.

He pointed to a steep right-angle slope:

"Sister Pan'er, after we came out of the Qingcang Wood Forest, we headed straight for Feiyun Slope. Feiyun Slope is steep, so we can just throw the Qingcang Wood down the slope, which saves us a lot of energy."

Feiyunpo was the last time I went down the mountain.

Fu Shaoping saw it with a quick glance.

Zhou Pan'er naturally had no objection.

The two of them still followed their previous strategy.

Half an hour later.

"Ho ho ho!!"

There were roars of clearance bears coming from the mountains.

The last time Fu Shaoping and his companions came to cut down the Qingcang wood, they angered the Qingcang bear in the forest. Unexpectedly, less than a month later, the other party used the same trick again.

The clearance bears who originally lived separately.

This time, as their common interests were damaged, they were united as never before.

The group rose up and attacked.

This was something Fu Shaoping never expected.

Otherwise.

The warehouse clearing bears were bulky and their speed was no match for Fu Shaoping and his companions who performed the "Piao Miao Footwork". Moreover, as they used Feiyun Slope to transport the wood this time, they were as light as a swallow and in a blink of an eye they left behind the group of warehouse clearing bears that were chasing them aggressively.

At the beginning.

The running speed of Fu Shaoping and Zhou Paner is not much different.

but.

Zhou Paner soon realized that something was wrong.

Fu Shaoping's speed was obviously much faster than when he had used all his strength before.

At the foot of the mountain.

The two of them were sweating profusely.

Fu Shaoping smiled with satisfaction when he saw the Qingcang wood falling down the slope. He had just been chased by the Qingcang bear all the way. Although he knew that he could not catch up with the opponent's speed, the fatal sense of urgency behind him made him use all his strength to perform the "Piaomiao Footwork".

After stopping now.

He also vaguely sensed something:
"Could it be."

Fu Shaoping's mental power immediately fell into the treasure mirror in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The treasure mirror flashed.

But then a line of text flashed:
"Piaomiao Footwork: Getting Started (10/100)"
Fu Shaoping looked at it a few more times in disbelief, and after confirming that the value above had indeed increased by 8 points, he was surprised and delighted:

"This is really no coincidence!"

He was also worried that his progress in this second-grade martial arts was too slow.

But I accidentally discovered a way to improve quickly.

Fu Shaoping and Zhou Pan'er glanced at each other, and the two seemed to be in sync, saying almost in unison:

"Rest for a while and then we'll go up again!"

Obviously.

Both of them discovered the trick to increase the speed of practicing "Piao Miao Footwork".

For a while.

Qilishan from morning to night.

The roar of the clearance bear continued.

Each time it paused for less than an incense stick's time, it started again.

For several days.

Until deep in the mountains.

A powerful roar was heard.

It was the same as the clearance bear, but when the sound came out, all the clearance bears in the forest trembled.

"withdraw!"

Fu Shaoping decided to quit while he was ahead.

The two of them ran down the mountain as fast as they could without any hesitation.

But see.

In the woods.

They only felt gusts of breeze blowing past, and even their figures had left the original place for a long time before their afterimages were blown away by the wind.

After getting far enough away from Qili Mountain.

Only then did Fu Shaoping stop.

But the words in the Sea of ​​Knowledge Treasure Mirror flashed:
"Piaomiao Footwork: Minor Success (5/100)"

Five days.

Every time at the critical moment of life and death, I push myself to the limit of my potential.

This goes on day and night.

The Piaomiao Footwork has finally progressed from entry level to minor success. Now, even if he faces a strong man at the fourth level of the Body Tempering Realm, he has enough confidence to escape. This is a life-saving measure.

But what surprised him was.

Zhou Paner, who was originally behind him, has now managed to break through to the minor success stage.

He couldn't help but sigh.

In the absence of the mysterious treasure mirror.

Zhou Paner's martial arts attainments are obviously higher than his.

A few days.

Not only did the two of them make great progress in martial arts, they also cut down several carts full of clearing wood, enough for him to refine for several months. Before that, Fu Shaoping decided not to come to Qili Mountain to provoke the behemoth in the deep mountains.

After returning from Qili Mountain.

Fu Shaoping rested at home for half a day, then took a cart full of clearance wood to the Dihuo Temple.

Liu Xiaoqi, who was guarding the Earth Fire Palace, was deeply impressed by Fu Shaoping.

Seeing that although Fu Shaoping did not enter the alchemy hall, he did not give up the alchemy path, he felt a little relieved. He pushed back the Yuanbei that Fu Shaoping handed over and said:

"There aren't many warriors with alchemy talent in the Hundred Households. I've reported your situation to the higher-ups, and they said that you can use this Earth Fire House as you like from now on, with no restrictions, and they won't charge you any mission fees."

Fu Shaoping was stunned for a moment.

Thank you quickly.

He really didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

but.

For the behemoth Zhenwu Division, a few low-grade Yuanshi are simply not worth mentioning, but they can at least increase the sense of belonging of one or two employees to the Zhenwu Division.

At least there are no such good organizations and good benefits in the outside world.
