From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

Fang Qing was completely immersed in his cultivation at this moment.

[A crucible of martial arts, fusing all the laws of the world...]

[Performed a complete rehearsal of the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique; current fusion progress 1%...]

……

[Performed a complete rehearsal of the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique; current fusion progress 2%...]

……

After Fang Qing took a Qi-boosting pill.

Then he began to practice the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique over and over again.

After he had practiced the Indestructible Golden Body Refining Technique ten times,

When the fusion progress of the Martial Arts Furnace is increased to 10%,

Fang Qing was not in a hurry to achieve results.

He simply pulled a large wooden barrel out of the room.

I put the medicine packet for the body-tempering bath that I had received from the accounting office that morning into it.

After filling a large tub with bathwater, Fang Qing jumped directly into the tub for a medicinal bath.

At first, Fang Qing didn't notice anything special about the medicated bath packs.

After soaking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Fang Qing suddenly looked down and saw some black impurities slowly rising to the surface from underwater.

Fang Qing's eyes lit up immediately.

He raised his arm and, sure enough, saw a lot of impurities emerging from his pores.

This phenomenon also occurs on other parts of the body.

"As expected, the Mountain and River Internal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique is different from the Five Internal Organs and Seven Injuries Body Tempering Technique that I used to practice."

Previously, when I practiced the Five Internal Organs and Seven Injuries Body Tempering Technique, my skin would never expel any impurities.

And the Mountain and River Internal Cultivation Body Tempering Technique actually can strengthen my internal organs.

Fang Qing squatted directly in the wooden tub to absorb all the medicinal effects, and then filled it with fresh water to wash his body clean.

He felt refreshed all over.

He arrived at the training ground area again.

He began to refine the Golden Body Indestructible Tempering Method again and again.

[Performed a complete rehearsal of the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique; current fusion progress 11%...]

……

[Performed a complete rehearsal of the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique; current fusion progress 15%...]

[Performed a complete rehearsal of the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique; current fusion progress 20%...]

[Current remaining stamina: 310...]

……

When the integration progress is increased to 20%

There were hardly any people left in the entire training ground.

Fang Qing wanted to press on and push the integration progress to 30% in one go.

At this moment, a figure appeared on the training ground.

Seeing Fang Qing still practicing martial arts so late, Zheng Yanqing sighed helplessly and walked over to say:

"Junior Brother Fang Qing, you must practice martial arts with a balance of relaxation and rest, and never overdo it."

That concludes today's martial arts practice. Go back and rest now.

Fang Qing couldn't show it too obviously, so he cupped his hands in greeting to Zheng Yanqing, wiped his sweat with a towel, and then could only pack his things.

Now, he's the only one still practicing martial arts in the entire training ground, which is quite conspicuous.

If he makes any noise, it will also affect Zheng Shanhe's rest.

In addition, Fang Qing also held the position of saltworks cook at the time.

After all, he received offerings from Fang Lingsu every month, so it wasn't appropriate for him to go home too late every day.

After packing his things, Fang Qing raised his hand and said "Farewell, Senior Sister" to Zheng Yanqing before heading back towards the salt field.

Not long after Fang Qing left, a woman dressed in a light green dress and carrying a sword appeared leisurely beside Zheng Yanqing.

It was Fang Lingsu.

Watching Fang Qing's departing figure, Fang Lingsu hesitated for a moment, then took out a green bottle from her bosom and handed it to her friend:

"Find an opportunity to give him this Body Tempering Pill."

Zheng Yanqing sighed helplessly, but still accepted the green porcelain bottle.

I just said it casually:

"He might not be able to successfully switch cultivation methods, so why are you wasting so many precious pills on him?"

Fang Lingsu still held the sword, her face expressionless.

"For no other reason than that I saw hope in his eyes. Hope for the future of martial arts!"

Zheng Yanqing frowned slightly and turned to look at Fang Lingsu, whose path in martial arts had been completely cut off.

A moment of contemplation flashed through my mind:

"I just hope Fang Qing's hope isn't just a rootless dream."

……

Before the city gates closed, Fang Qing rented a horse and headed back to the Jinsha Saltworks.

Half an hour later, he returned to the Jinsha Saltworks.

The residence near Li Zaotou has now been unsealed.

Fang Qing had it tidied up, and it became his current residence.

To Fang Qing's dismay, after searching Li Zaotou's mansion thoroughly, he found nothing of particular value except for some loose silver coins.

It's unclear whether Li Zaotou hid it elsewhere or if someone from the Six Doors simply took it by chance.

The backyard has now become Fang Qing's private domain.

As for the front yard, Fang Qing simply had Uncle Yang's family move over.

Yang Jiumei and her mother are currently visiting relatives in the countryside, and for the time being, only Fang Qing and Yang Zhi will be living in the entire mansion.

Under Fang Qing's guidance, Yang Zhi has recently mastered the entire process of refining salt.

However, the production of refined salt is still in the planning stage.

The Daqian Dynasty implemented the salt certificate system.

Every year, the government allocates a certain number of salt permits to salt merchants in various salt-producing regions.

The amount of salt that a single salt certificate can produce is also limited.

For example, the Fang family's Jinsha Saltworks produces 50,000 jin of green salt annually this year.

Therefore, the Jinsha Saltworks can only meet this number.

Neither too much nor too little.

As for refined salt, Fang Lingsu's family currently has no salt quota for refined salt.

Even if Fang Qing were to extract refined salt, he wouldn't be able to sell it on a large scale.

On the contrary, they will be questioned by the Salt Commissioner, and in serious cases, they may even be accused of smuggling salt.

They could only proceed with the next step when the Fang family received the salt permit for refined salt next spring.

Therefore, the Jinsha Saltworks is still mainly producing green salt.

Just then, Fang Qing saw a commotion coming from the five seafood cooking rooms in the distance.

During this time, some people said things like "the sea god appeared" and "punishment".

Fang Qing frowned, immediately put on a coat, and hurried over to the seafood cooking room.

At this moment, the closest seafood cooking room to Fang Qing...

A large group of salt farmers had already knelt down around the salt-boiling room.

Yang Zhi stood out from the crowd.

However, at this moment, looking at the scene inside the seafood cooking room, Yang Zhi couldn't help but bend his knees.

He really wanted to kneel down like everyone else and pray that the sea god would spare him.

Unfortunately, he knew that he was now essentially Fang Qing's right-hand man.

This kneeling gesture signifies that Fang Qing's authority will completely crumble.

All I could do was grit my teeth and stand there, enduring the pain.

Only when he heard footsteps behind him did Yang Zhi's face turn ashen. Seeing Fang Qing approaching, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Aoko, come here and see what's going on?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing frowned and peered inside the open-doored cooking room.

The interior of the cooking room is actually very simple, mainly consisting of a cast iron plate and a large stove.

The other places contain wood that is needed to boil seawater.

But when Fang Qing saw the scene inside the cooking room, his eyebrows immediately furrowed.

His expression changed as well.

Now it became clear why so many salt farmers were kneeling around, chanting "The sea god has appeared!"

The huge iron plate that used to sit on the stove.

It was growing hair at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Most importantly, this hair also has a silvery sheen.

It evokes the image of an old sea monster, seemingly about to slowly emerge from the cooking room.

The visual impact was extremely strong, especially considering it was the middle of the night.

Illuminated by the surrounding torches, it truly seemed as if an ancient monster was about to leap out of the cooking room...
