A leisurely life in the world of cultivation

Chapter 28 The Iron-Wielding Commander! (Please add to your favorites and recommend!)

Li Weizhou didn't know exactly what kind of creature a Breakthrough Warrior was, but one thing was certain: their life recovery ability was far stronger than that of ordinary people.

The two people who were on the verge of death are now able to stand up and walk.

Li Weizhou firmly refused Li Changning's offer to send him back to Qingzhou Prefecture. Seeing the stalemate, Zhao Yuanzhi took out an iron token and handed it to Li Weizhou, saying, "Third Brother, this is the waist token of the Iron-Handed Servant of the Imperial Punishment Bureau. The Imperial Punishment Bureau doesn't actually have an Iron-Handed Servant, but those in the martial world who have made significant contributions to the Imperial Punishment Bureau can carry a black iron waist token. Except for not being able to enter the Imperial Punishment Bureau in the capital and not being able to directly execute officials, everything else is similar. With this, the government officials can't easily make things difficult for you; otherwise, they'll be punished for treason."

Li Changning remained stubborn: "That won't do either." He still resolutely refused to let Li Weizhou set off on his own.

However, he was quite moved by the iron plaque that Zhao Yuanzhi had taken out. He looked at it several times, and his expression was somewhat troubled, as if he did not want Li Weizhou to take it.

Seeing through Li Changning's affectation, Li Weizhou scolded, "You're such a busybody! It's almost dawn, what could possibly be wrong? So many of your comrades have died in battle, and Yuan Zhi is still seriously injured, yet you still keep nagging. If I could beat you, I would definitely teach you a lesson."

Zhao Yuanzhi had probably never seen anyone so powerful, someone who could treat a top-ten genius in the Imperial Execution Division like a child. After staring at him for a while with wide eyes, she advised Li Changning, "With the elders of Shangqing Palace taking action, Ye Yun is doomed. Because of the Blood Demon, the Imperial Execution Division and the local mountain forest envoys have intensified their pursuit, and the various gangs in the area are behaving themselves. We need to report this news quickly, and also... we need to bring Senior Brother Wang and the others back..."

Li Weizhou lectured again: "Look, even Yuan Zhi is more sensible than you!"

Li Changning felt a chill run down his spine and said helplessly, "She is Princess Yi'an, you're calling her that..."

The princess of the Qi Prince's Mansion is no ordinary princess. Her grandfather was the Prince of Qi, who served as the head of the eight princes and helped establish three emperors and assist two others during the Great Qian Dynasty.

Although he withdrew from politics for many years citing old age and poor health, and truly never inquired about politics again, who would dare to underestimate this first wise and virtuous king of the royal family?
Princess Yi'an was unimpressed and even a little angry: "Zhang Wanyi is the daughter of a great general, why don't you say that you keep calling her Miss Wanyi? What's wrong with Third Brother calling me by my name? Humph!"

Li Weizhou knew nothing about it, but he enjoyed watching the spectacle and chimed in, "Exactly!" Then he became suspicious: "You wouldn't happen to be a snob, would you? The daughter of a great general... you're trying to curry favor with the powerful?"

Li Changning, usually a cool and aloof guy, was now so angry his mouth was almost crooked. He twisted his neck and roared, "Can't you tell whether the Prince of Qi is greater or the General is greater?"

Zhao Yuanzhi may have really gotten into character, because she suddenly felt inferior: "My grandfather hasn't been involved in anything for many years, he can't compare to the Grand General of the Army..."

"..."

Li Changning wasn't stupid after all. After a moment of anger, he calmed down and said to Li Weizhou, "You should go now. Take care of yourself."

This third brother definitely did it on purpose!

Li Weizhou ignored him, took two steps toward the fire, groped around under the roadside stones for a while, and actually pulled out two swords.

Zhao Yuanzhi forgot about her sadness and looked on in astonishment as Li Weizhou walked over with his sword.

Li Weizhou said, "It's our first meeting, so I'm giving you a gift. These are two precious swords that I acquired by chance. I got them after meeting Qi Zhenkun from Yuanjian Mountain last time, but I don't know if he lost them. I had no use for them and was thinking of selling them this time, but I felt a little reluctant to part with them, so I'm giving them to you two instead."

Zhao Yuanzhi took it subconsciously and saw that the words "Lady's Sword" were clearly written on the scabbard.

On the other side, Li Weizhou forcibly shoved the sword into the dumbfounded hand of Li Changning. The scabbard was inscribed with three seal characters: Gentleman's Sword.

A gentleman and a lady, aren't they a match made in heaven?

Zhao Yuanzhi was overjoyed!
Then Li Weizhou clapped his hands and walked away.

Li Changning's expression was complicated; he wanted to say something, but he didn't open his mouth.

Only after Li Weizhou's figure disappeared into the night did Zhao Yuanzhi comfort him, "A-Ning, can't you see? Your brother is no ordinary person, he's an extraordinary one. Don't worry."

At this point, Li Changning naturally understood that Li Weizhou was definitely not just an ordinary person with no martial arts foundation as he appeared.

but……

how could be……

He slowly drew his gentleman's sword. The moment the sword was drawn, it would be an exaggeration to say that it was chillingly cold, but the long, straight blade, under the bright moonlight, truly resembled a pool of autumn water rippling on the water, and the sharpness of the blade was enough to make one tremble with fear.

It really is a top-quality sword!
Zhao Yuanzhi also drew her Lady's Sword and was equally surprised.

She looked blankly in the direction Li Weizhou had gone, then glanced around at her surroundings...

Is this really just a harsh, desolate border region?
……

"Thumbs up!"

When the motorcycle was about three miles from Qingzhou City, Li Weizhou turned it off, put it away, changed his clothes, and drove back into the city without any incidents or dangers.

Didn't alarm anyone.

The first thing to do is to get the body over there.

It was still creepy. I reluctantly searched and actually found a booklet of some unknown material, which was the Blood Transformation Demon Art that Li Changning had mentioned.

He opened it and saw that it was indeed evil, requiring the consumption of fresh human blood to fuel its power... Li Weizhou didn't want to look any further and burned it directly.

Even on the other side of the world, this kind of behavior would get you arrested and shot!

Pig's blood is more like it... Let's leave it for now. I took a piece of paper, wrote "Under siege, do not disturb" and hung it on the door.

After securing the doors and windows and assuming the correct stance, a thought traveled to the other side.

This is the first time I've ever practiced standing meditation outside a medicinal bath tub...

……

It was almost night.

A corpse lay scattered on the floor, along with chunks of flesh and dirt, making the place look filthy.

Li Weizhou didn't care about these things; he would take care of it himself once it got completely dark.

At that moment, he held his phone, turned the camera around, and looked at his own eyes on the screen.

I still feel that there is a faint red glow flickering.

After a moment of silence, he went out again to the slaughterhouse.

Fortunately, due to the nature of the work, most people work night shifts at slaughterhouses, so there is still fresh blood available at night...

A pig weighs between 100 and 150 kilograms. The blood volume of an adult pig is about 7% to 8% of its body weight. Based on this calculation, the blood volume of a pig is approximately 7 to 12 kilograms.

In this vast mountain town, there are over a hundred slaughterhouses with an annual combined production capacity of over 40 million pigs, supplying fresh meat to the more than 30 million residents of the town.

Approximately 800 tons of pig blood are produced daily...

Except for a few large slaughterhouses, most slaughterhouses struggle with the disposal of this blood because environmental and hygiene requirements are extremely high. In many cases, disposing of pig blood according to regulations results in losses.

This is good news for Li Weizhou. He plans to buy as much as he can "drink". With today's large-scale industrial farming, he doesn't believe there won't be enough for him to drink.

Ye Yun slaughtered so many villages, yet the number of people killed was less than ten thousand.

Here's a little-known fact: the amount of blood in a normal adult is less than that in a pig, averaging only about five kilograms.

A pig can produce about seven kilograms of blood.

Ten thousand people would only need fifty thousand kilograms of blood, which is just two hundred and fifty barrels of pig blood.

They got right to work, starting from the nearest and moving further afield. They filled four large blue barrels with pig's blood, cow's blood, sheep's blood, and chicken blood as well. They would walk a short distance, stop, and drink the blood before moving on to the next slaughterhouse.

A large blue barrel holds 200 liters; to put it simply, Li Weizhou could squeeze into the large blue barrel if he curled up.

Four buckets would be 800 liters, roughly 800 kilograms.

For the next ten hours, Li Weizhou frantically wandered between various slaughterhouses, and except for one time when he tied a corpse to a stone and sank it into the Yangtze River to feed the fish in a deserted section of the road, he did not stop for a moment...

As long as you pay, the slaughterhouses don't care what they do with the pig's blood; they'll enthusiastically help load it onto the truck.

Overnight, they "drank" two hundred buckets, or forty thousand kilograms, of pig's blood.

This is a data that even Li Weizhou himself never expected... It's terrifying!
But Li Weizhou didn't continue, not because he was full, but because he remembered something else important.

……

In the blink of an eye, he was back in Daqian. The moment he opened his eyes, Li Weizhou's eyes suddenly became frighteningly bright!

He slowly moved his hands and feet, and did not feel any depletion of his essence and blood. On the contrary, he felt better than ever before!

Even without the medicinal bath, I still felt surprisingly good, even better than when I had the medicinal bath!
The second rhythm appeared in the left atrium of the heart!

He opened the second acupoint!
did not expect!
Unexpectedly!

He had tried this before, without standing in the medicinal bath, but after only three minutes, he almost collapsed when he passed through the body...

My whole body ached, and my muscles and bones were stiff. My heart almost burst. It was terrifying.

But at this moment, it's better than ever before!
Even now, a trickle of silk continues to flow down from the "void," constantly nourishing the body and acupoints.

A spur-of-the-moment attempt brought such a wonderful surprise!!
It's actually true! It really can replace the nourishing properties of precious medicine!
The effect seems even better!

Li Weizhou clenched his fist forcefully: That means God will not let down anyone who works hard!
Although pig's blood at two yuan a kilogram is not cheap, it is still cheaper than ginseng at two hundred thousand yuan a kilogram, right?

Forty thousand kilograms a day, even at a high price, would only cost a few hundred thousand yuan, which he could afford!

Li Weizhou had a vague feeling that the throne of the world's number one was beckoning to him from afar!
