From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

Fang Qing didn't hold back; he currently had 50 merit points, and he planned to keep 10 for emergencies.

He planned to use the remaining 30 or so merit points to buy a spear.

Listening to Fang Qing's words, Liu Ruyan swayed her hips and led them into a room full of weapon racks.

She first picked up a finely crafted long spear that was placed at the doorway:

"The meteorite iron spear has a certain amount of meteorite iron mixed into its shaft."

It is at least 30% more durable than most spears on the market.

"Price: 15 merit points."

Seeing Fang Qing shake his head, she then went to the back of the weapon rack.

"The spear, like wildfire spreading across the plains, swept by the wind, its offensive relentless."

The shaft is made of century-old waxwood, providing sustained explosive power.

Fang Qing took the Wildfire Spear and twirled it in his hand.

Fang Qing's Breaking Army Returning Dragon Thorn has now been 80% fused.

The soft, ash-wood-like shaft was still a bit too light for him.

Unable to unleash the full power of the Breaking Army Returning Dragon Piercing Rainbow Style and the Reverse Scale Counterattack.

Seeing Fang Qing's expression, Liu Ruyan went to the innermost part of the weapon rack again.

He then picked up another long spear with a tip as sharp as an eagle's beak:

"Cangzhun, the tip of the spear is like the beak of an eagle, precise and sharp, capable of defeating the enemy in one strike. Its speed and penetrating power are ranked first in our Wanbaoge."

Upon seeing Cang Zhun, Fang Qing's eyes lit up.

The spearhead of this spear is different from the diamond shape of ordinary long spears.

Its tip is extremely sharp, and the entire arc of the spearhead is like a wave, gradually widening backward.

This design is perfect for a counterattack, luring the enemy in before turning around and delivering a fatal shot before the enemy can even turn around.

An ordinary diamond-shaped spearhead would create too much wind when Fang Qing cultivated the Reverse Scale Reversal technique.

Both the speed of the gun and the fact that the enemy hears it make it easy for them to dodge.

"Cang Zhun, priced at 30 merit points, is considered a relatively cost-effective spear in our Wanbaoge."

"Don't worry, this price is already the lowest discount, out of respect for Gu Changyuan."

Fang Qing went directly to the open space and held Cang Zhun in his hand.

I wonder what material this gun handle is made of.

It combines the sturdiness of a steel gun barrel with the flexibility of a waxwood gun barrel.

Fang Qing stood still and poked the gun twice.

The spear shaft was like a serpent emerging from its hole; according to Fang Qing's will, the spear tip could be slightly turned.

Both the sharpness of the spearhead and the weight of the shaft were very suitable for Fang Qing.

"Okay, I'll buy it."

When Liu Ruyan saw that Fang Qing had chosen the spear so quickly, her face immediately showed approval:

"Gu Changyuan, your brother is quite a straightforward person. No wonder you care for him so much."

Fang Qing handed over the wooden plaque for the Salt Patrol Reserve Battalion directly.

Liu Ruyan immediately arranged for someone to first place the spearhead of the Cangzhun spear into a piece of soft clay to make a rubbing of its appearance.

Finally, they used a falcon to pierce the mud at different angles, leaving gun marks.

This clay will be sealed away by the Six Doors in the future.

If needed for a case, these traces will be used for comparison, which can quickly identify the weapon used by the perpetrator.

Only after these tasks were completed was Fang Qingli's merit points deducted.

"Steward Liu, the ordinary medicinal bath packs I'm currently using at the Mountain and River Martial Arts Academy are no longer significantly improving my physical condition. I wonder if your Wanbao Pavilion has any suitable body-tempering medicinal baths?"

Improving physical fitness can greatly reduce the amount of stamina required.

Fang Qing plans to buy more of these medicated bath packs if they become available.

Gu Changyuan hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Ruyan, why don't we grant him access to the medicinal bath that our Salt Patrol Guard uses exclusively?"

Upon hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Liu Ruyan was immediately taken aback.

His face was full of confusion.

"Hey, Gu, are you out of your mind?"

"The body-tempering medicinal baths used by the Salt Patrol Guards are all prepared for those at the sixth and seventh levels of body tempering."

"What's your little brother's cultivation level right now? At most, he's at the fourth level of Body Tempering. Are you sure he can withstand the strong medicinal effects of those baths?"

Liu Ruyan looked Fang Qing up and down.

She didn't know what had gotten into Gu Changyuan, that he would let a mere fourth-level Body Tempering cultivator use the medicinal baths that were only available to sixth and seventh-level Body Tempering cultivators.

"That's because you didn't see it just now. My little brother single-handedly killed two experts at the fifth level of Body Tempering in an instant."

"At the same time, he injured three experts at the fourth level of Body Tempering and one expert at the fifth level of Body Tempering."

"With this ability, I believe he can withstand the body-tempering medicinal bath of the Salt Patrol Guard."

Upon hearing Gu Changyuan's words, Liu Ruyan's beautiful eyes immediately turned to Fang Qing.

She looked him up and down as if she were seeing him for the first time.

With his cultivation at the fourth level of Body Tempering, he instantly killed two people at the fifth level of Body Tempering.

Based on this record, he can be considered a top fighter in the Salt Patrol Reserve Battalion.

The key point is that Fang Qing actually took on six opponents single-handedly, and no one else could suppress him.

Whether it's courage or ability, they are truly one in a hundred.

"If it's really as you say, then we can open the medicinal bath at the Salt Patrol Guard to you, little brother."

As she said this, a rare look of seriousness flashed across Liu Ruyan's face.

"The medicinal baths of Xunyanwei are known for their strong and potent effects, and of course, they are also very effective in improving overall physical fitness."

"Fang Qing, after all, your cultivation level is relatively low, and Gu Changyuan is taking a great risk by doing this."

"If you can't handle the medicinal bath the salt patrol guards will give you later, be sure to tell us immediately."

As she spoke, Liu Ruyan took Fang Qing's exclusive identity badge from the Salt Patrol Reserve Battalion and handed it to the person next to her.

"The Salt Patrol Guard Reserve Battalion's exclusive medicinal bath deducts 1 merit point each time, and can be used for two hours."

Although Fang Qing didn't know what the Salt Patrol Guard's medicinal bath was like, seeing the solemn expressions on Gu Changyuan and Liu Ruyan's faces, he knew that this body-tempering medicinal bath must be extraordinary.

After helping Fang Qing register, Liu Ruyan led Fang Qing and Gu Changyuan up to the third floor.

Fang Qing still had some questions in his mind, so he spoke up:

"So this kind of medicinal bath isn't like the kind at the Mountain and River Boxing Academy where you just boil water and soak in it yourself?"

Liu Ruyan scoffed upon hearing this.

"The body-tempering medicinal bath packs from the Mountain and River Fist Academy are all pre-made medicines, which can be bought on the market if you have silver. They are completely ordinary goods."

"How can it compare to the special body-tempering medicinal bath that our Wanbaoge provides exclusively for the Salt Patrol Guards?"

"The medicinal baths at the Salt Patrol Guard require the on-site preparation of various medicinal herbs, so you can only have your body-tempering medicinal baths at our Wanbaolou and cannot leave."

"You'll understand the difference once you've used our Wanbaolou body-tempering medicinal bath."

Upon hearing what Liu Ruyan said, Fang Qing's eyes lit up immediately.

It turns out he used to use pre-made body-tempering drugs.

Following Liu Ruyan and Gu Changyuan upstairs, their footsteps became increasingly hurried.

Liu Ruyan went all the way up to the top floor of the five-story Wanbaolou building.

Fang Qing saw that there were small rooms on the top floor, each room being about thirty or forty square meters in size.

Liu Ruyan took a sign from the side that read "Do Not Disturb".

He hung it directly on one of the room doors, then pushed the door open and led Fang Qing and Gu Changyuan in.

Fang Qing looked around the house; the entire room was practically empty.

On one side of the wall, there were rows of thick pipes, the purpose of which was unknown.

There is also a pool of water at your feet.

Water was constantly bubbling up from the bottom of the pool.

Beside the pool, there was also a small wooden ladle...
