From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

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

[After practicing the Breaking Dragon Thrust once, current fusion progress: 90%...]

……

[After practicing the Breaking Dragon Thrust once, current fusion progress: 100%...]

The pharmacy space, which was originally shrouded in mist, became more open as Fang Qing practiced the Breaking Army Returning Dragon Thrust technique to 100%.

Immediately, most of the weapons were absorbed by Fang Qing through his mouth and nose.

At the same time, the golden interface in front of me also shook slightly:

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

[Current Realm: Body Tempering Level 4...]

[Current Martial Art: Undying Golden Body Refinement Technique (40%)...]

[Current Combat Skill: Breaking Army Returning Dragon Thrust Three Forms Minor Completion: (0%)...]

Current stamina: 320 points...

Fang Qing let out a soft breath!

The fusion of the Broken Army Returning Dragon Thorn is finally complete!

……

Inside the small room next door used for processing medicinal herbs.

At this moment, Gu Changyuan and Liu Ruyan sat at a table, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.

"The special medicinal baths provided to you salt patrol guards aren't very pleasant..."

"How long did it take your little brother to rush out of the room?"

I'll bet half an hour.

Gu Changyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

He spat a few mouthfuls of tea leaves into the teacup.

Only then did he speak calmly:

"The Fang brothers are exceptionally gifted."

"A mere salt patrol garrison's specially supplied medicinal bath, and it's already out in half an hour?"

"You underestimate him too much."

"And by looking down on him, you're also looking down on me!"

Gu Changyuan tapped his eyes:

"I trust my judgment!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's face immediately turned fierce.

"Gu Changyuan, speak like a human being, are you in or not?"

Gu Changyuan deftly took out a five-tael silver ingot from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Then I'll bet half an hour and a quarter of an hour."

Liu Ruyan nearly strained her back and gave a disdainful sneer.

"He bragged loudly, but in the end he only gambled for a quarter of an hour longer than me."

A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes.

They saw the silver that Liu Ruyan and Gu Changyuan had placed on the table.

The next moment, seven or eight Wanbaoge workers, regardless of gender, who had been busy in the small room, appeared.

They all pulled out some loose silver coins from their pockets.

Some were worth dozens of coins, while others were worth only one or two taels of silver.

Most people were on Liu Ruyan's side, believing that Fang Qing wouldn't last more than half an hour before rushing out of the pharmacy.

The few who planned to gamble big with small bets went all in, betting their lives on Gu Changyuan.

They believed that Fang Qing would not escape from inside in a sorry state for at least half an hour and a quarter of an hour.

Half an hour later.

Liu Ruyan's face was ashen.

Watching Gu Changyuan smile like a treacherous minister, she gathered all the dozen or so taels of silver that she had bet with him and placed in front of her.

Losing money is a minor matter.

Seeing Gu Changyuan's smug look made Liu Ruyan so angry that her teeth itched.

However, after half an hour and a quarter of an hour...

Gu Changyuan's expression also changed.

He even opened the door specifically to peek into Fang Qing's tightly closed pharmacy.

Only after confirming that Fang Qing had not rushed out of the pharmacy did he scratch his head, completely baffled.

"Wait a minute, isn't this kid only at the fourth level of Body Tempering?"

"How could he withstand the special medicinal baths provided by the Salt Patrol Guard for so long?"

"That thing jumped out in less than half an hour."

After returning to the table, Gu Changyuan sighed helplessly and pushed the loose silver coins that had gathered in front of him to the side.

There's a default rule for every betting event like the special medicinal bath provided by Xunyanwei.

If both sides lose, then the silver placed on the table will belong to the person inside who is undergoing the special medicinal bath provided by the Salt Patrol Guard.

Clearly, the person today is Fang Qing.

Liu Ruyan was wrong when she saw Gu Changyuan, especially when she saw his embarrassed look. This immediately brought back the charming and sarcastic look on Liu Ruyan's face.

"I thought you were so capable, Lord Gu, but it turns out even you can't see through the boy you recruited."

"That's absolutely ridiculous."

Upon hearing this, Gu Changyuan's expression immediately turned cold.

He snorted coldly and downed the tea leaves in his hand in one gulp.

After an hour, even Liu Ruyan couldn't sit still any longer.

"I remember last time you assigned someone from the salt patrol reserve battalion. That guy was already at the fifth level of Body Tempering, but he couldn't stand it for more than half an hour and a half, and then he ran out, right?"

"Why is this little guy you brought around still inside after more than an hour?"

"Could it be that they were killed by the body-tempering medicinal bath inside?"

Gu Changyuan deliberately stood up and pressed his ear against the wall.

Hearing that there was still movement inside the pharmacy, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Probably not, I heard some noises coming from inside."

"Besides, I think Brother Fang is a man who knows his own limitations. If he really can't handle it, he should come out."

Even Liu Ruyan, the steward of Wanbaoge, was somewhat confused.

"If he doesn't come out soon, all the employees at Wanbaoge will get impatient."

Upon hearing what Liu Ruyan said, Gu Changyuan immediately frowned.

Turning my head, I looked towards the door of their small processing room.

At this time, most of the processing was done by female workers from Wanbaoge.

The employees stood in a line on the door frame, their heads pressed against it.

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Fang Qing's tightly closed door.

It was vaguely visible at the entrance of the stairs.

There were also two or three female workers from Wanbaoge who would occasionally peek over at Fang Qing.

Each time, the salt patrol team came to use the salt patrol team's specially supplied medicinal bath.

To achieve the best results, many salt patrol guards would temper their bodies naked.

Later, unable to bear it any longer, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes and ran straight out of the pharmacy.

Every time, the employees of Wanbaoge would peek through the crack in the door.

Gu Changyuan simply snorted coldly.

"Liu Ruyan, can't you control your subordinates?"

Liu Ruyan had somehow ended up perched on top of the row of heads on the door frame, forming the head.

At this moment, she stood on tiptoe and peeked out.

Without turning his head, he said:

Why impose restrictions?

This almost made Gu Changyuan, who was drinking tea, choke.

He forgot that it was Liu Ruyan who started the whole thing by secretly watching the salt patrol officers from Wanbaoge.

The first one to be looked at was Gu Changyuan.

Even every time the Salt Patrol Guards came out of the pharmacy, Liu Ruyan would ostensibly be checking the effects of the body tempering, but she would personally touch and pinch them here and there.

An hour and a half later, everyone had become somewhat numb.

Gu Changyuan pressed himself against the wall almost every few moments to listen to the sounds inside.

Only after confirming that there was still movement inside did I breathe a sigh of relief...

It wasn't until two hours later.

The pharmacy door finally opened...

Everyone instinctively looked towards the doorway...
