From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

Fang Qing and Li Laolai exchanged a fierce punch!

Fang Qing took five or six steps back.

Yang Zhi quickly stepped through the soft mud and sand, wading through the mud, to help Fang Qing up so that she wouldn't fall!

Although Li Laolai only took two steps back,

His face looked quite unpleasant at that moment.

"How come this kid's arms are so hard? Like they're cast in bronze or iron!!"

"I reckon the bones in my hands and arms are definitely fractured."

Li Laolai deliberately put his hands behind his back and kept rubbing his arms and palms.

Tongbei Quan is a combat-oriented martial art.

After being fused with the Martial Arts Furnace and Body Tempering Technique, Fang Qing's entire body, especially his hands and the bones in his arms, had hardness far exceeding that of ordinary people.

This beating made Li Laolai feel extremely uncomfortable.

Turning his head again, he saw that the dozen or so people who had rushed out with him were all lying on the ground.

Whether they were sincere or not, these people clearly lacked fighting ability.

My eldest son is still lying at the bottom of the reservoir.

If we delay any longer, when the floodgates are opened to let in the tide,

Li Laolai's son didn't even have the strength to swim out of the water.

Unlike Fang Qing.

Fang Qing is currently at the bottom of the saltworks. This time, his tough move is aimed at acquiring nourishing seafood that can improve his physical strength and change his fate.

This time he has to make a strong move!

Although Li Laolai is usually arrogant and domineering at the salt field, he is fundamentally a cunning and deceitful person.

Such people are the ones who cherish their lives the most!

He would rather lose face than fight Fang Qing to the death here.

"I risked my life, and the woman and the family assets all belong to someone else."

"Why risk your life!"

Li Laolai proactively offered himself a way out.

"Think about it carefully, your parents did indeed contribute to our salt fields, which is why they were killed by salt bandits."

"For the sake of your parents, I'm magnanimous and will let you off the hook today."

"Kid, you'd better watch yourself."

Without waiting for Fang Qing's reply, Li Laolai turned and left.

"What the hell are you standing there for? Get Mengzi up here and let's go home."

"The event is over; prepare to draw in the tide."

"If you don't do your job well today, Li the Kitchen Head will chop you all up alive when he gets back."

Li Laolai muttered a few curses to defend himself, then turned and left with the rest of his men.

Seeing Li Laolai leave, Fang Qing finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Li Laolai truly lived up to his reputation as a master of the first level of Body Tempering. If it came down to a direct confrontation, Fang Qing knew he might not fare well.

At this point, his strength was about to be exhausted.

After all, it was one against many.

Furthermore, since he had only recently integrated the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Technique, there were many aspects he was unfamiliar with.

They were completely unable to exert their fighting power.

If this drags on for too long, it will inevitably damage the very foundation.

As long as we can preserve the seafood in the mud and sand,

Fang Qing is satisfied today.

"Uncle Yang, get your tools ready, let's go into the mud and sand to clean the seafood."

Fang Qing naturally wouldn't tolerate the neighbors who had just been watching the commotion without offering any help.

As all members of the same league, we should, in principle, share both glory and loss.

There were several of those people just now, and they were all making sarcastic and cynical remarks.

They keep saying they want to stand by and do nothing as long as it doesn't take up their resources.

Now, Fang Qing has secured exclusive rights to the seafood found in this muddy sand all by his own efforts.

Naturally, these people weren't included either.

Fang Qing was even considering that he wouldn't need to provide seafood to these households anymore.

He intends to swallow it all!

Without a word, Yang Zhi picked up a wooden stick and several bamboo baskets and jumped down.

Yang Jiumei had already taken out a faded red handkerchief and personally cleaned Fang Qing's wounds.

Especially the wound on Fang Qing's mouth.

Ninth Sister looked distressed.

……

Yang hesitated for a moment.

Thinking of how her own daughter had jumped down, and how she was now cleaning Fang Qing's wounds,

He then proceeded to pat the dirt off Fang Qing's body without any hesitation.

Her husband was already diligently digging out all sorts of incredibly delicious conches and shells from the mud and sand.

She even happened to see those valuable demon turtle eggs.

With a determined look, Yang grabbed a wooden paddle and jumped down after her husband.

Anyway, now that the mud has gotten into their pants, the Yang family is branded with Fang Qing's name, and there's no way to clear their name now.

Why don't we go with this young man and haul up the seafood first, eat and drink our fill, and then talk about it?

Immediately, a large crowd gathered along the entire reservoir embankment, watching helplessly as Fang Qing led the Yang family of three below, filling several baskets to the brim with seafood in no time.

In particular, Fang Qing once dug out a turtle demon egg from the mud and sand.

In no time, five or six were found.

A single turtle demon egg can sell for ten taels of silver!

The salt workers from the same household as Fang Qing all had extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

But seeing Fang Qing's Tongbei Fist moves so powerfully, no one dared to utter a single word of dissent.

[Premium sea cucumber meat, increases stamina by +1.5, absorption complete...]

……

[Premium clam meat, increases stamina by +0.5, absorption complete...]

……

[Premium sea snail meat, increases stamina by +0.7, absorption complete...]

Current stamina: 180...

Fang Qing held her stomach, feeling that she had eaten too much seafood this time.

Today, we dug out seven baskets of various seafood from the bottom of the reservoir.

One of the baskets of fresh green vegetables was given directly to Uncle Yang's family.

Uncle Yang originally refused to accept it no matter what.

In Uncle Yang's words, Fang Qing risked his life to obtain these seafood goods.

He had no desire to eat seafood stained with Fang Qing's blood.

Finally, Fang Qing insisted on giving it to Uncle Yang, and Aunt Yang reluctantly accepted it.

Fang Qing then took out a small portion of the remainder and distributed it to the other two orphan and widow families in this area.

They already had their share of the seafood, and Fang Qing wouldn't give them more than what they were entitled to; he would only give them the portion they were supposed to take.

At this moment, Fang Qing still had six baskets of seafood in his hands, and he ate a little more than one and a half baskets in one go.

Fang Qing knew that he was likely to face Li Laolai's furious retaliation next.

It might even implicate Li Zaotou.

Li Zaotou is a martial artist at the second level of Body Tempering, and it is said that he has already reached the Great Perfection realm.

He desperately needs to improve his physical strength.

"The closer we get to Li Zaotou's second level of Body Tempering cultivation, the greater our chances of winning!!!"

Fang Qing made up his mind and put in all his effort!

……

After consuming 190 stamina.

Fang Qing really couldn't eat anymore.

Although in theory, his stamina can be continuously increased.

Unfortunately, his capacity to eat is limited.

It was already night.

The entire salt field became eerily quiet.

The next moment, Fang Qing pushed open the door and walked out into an open area in the salt field.

"Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Technique, Starting Stance: Divine Ape Leaning Against the Mountain!"

Fang Qing began to practice the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Method continuously.

……

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

[Performed a complete demonstration of the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Technique, cultivation level +1...]

[Current Realm: Body Tempering First Stage, Minor Success (1%)]

Fang Qing did not continue practicing.

He looked at the stamina section on the golden interface with some confusion.

"I remember that at the beginning I ate a lot of seafood and my stamina level had increased to 190."

How come my stamina has already reached 188 after only practicing the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Technique once?

To verify his idea, Fang Qing practiced the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Method again.

Sure enough, this time his stamina dropped to 186.

"Just as I guessed, after my cultivation reached the first level of Body Tempering..."

The stamina consumed with each training session seems to be increasing.

Thinking about it, Fang Qing also felt that this was only natural.

Each stamina point can be considered an energy block.

These energy blocks are of a fixed size.

Before reaching the Body Tempering Realm, the cultivation methods were relatively simple, and naturally, only a little energy was needed to improve.

Now that you've officially entered the Body Tempering Realm, things are different.

The energy consumed will definitely be more.

Fang Qing didn't think much of it and continued practicing the Tongbei Divine Fist Body Tempering Method over and over again...

His current goal is to reach the Great Perfection of Body Tempering as soon as possible...
