From the fusion of Tongbei Quan to the Longevity Martial Saint

The golden interface trembled continuously in front of Fang Qing.

Fang Qing was completely immersed in a state of selfless cultivation.

He stood there, holding the Falcon Spear in his hand.

He kept poking at each rope with the streamlined tip of the hawk-shaped spear.

At first, Fang Qing practiced using the rope with the largest circle.

Once you can keep the spearhead firmly planted in the center of the rope,

He then switched to a smaller circular rope.

For almost the entire day, Fang Qing was frantically practicing the Breaking Army Returning Dragon Piercing Rainbow Style.

[Practice the Breaking Dragon Thrust once... Piercing Rainbow Style, combat power +1...]

【Breaking Army Returning Dragon Thrust...Piercing Rainbow Style (25%)...】

Even after Fang Qing achieved mastery of the Undying Golden Body Refining Technique, he still felt eye strain and neck pain.

He looked at his hands and saw that although there were no large blisters, they were clearly red.

He has now reached a state of near-immortality, but even the intense training with the Breaking Army Returning Dragon Thorn has worn away a layer of his skin, which shows how hard he is cultivating now.

However, Fang Qing's rigorous training, almost mechanically practicing the Breaking Army Returning Dragon Piercing Rainbow Style, was remarkable.

However, other people see it differently.

They saw Fang Qing repeatedly stabbing the wooden dummy with the tip of his spear, as if Fang Qing had been beaten to a pulp and was about to collapse.

He pinned his hopes on using the long spear to numb himself.

Fang Wansan stood at a distance and sighed helplessly.

Xie Yunzhou, who was standing next to Fang Qing, tried several times to go up and say a few words of advice.

However, seeing Fang Qing remain silent all day and then practice shooting like crazy, he felt quite uneasy.

Currently, his cultivation level is almost at the bottom of the entire Shanhe Boxing Academy.

Despite Xie Yunzhou's relentless cultivation, the third level of Body Tempering remained an insurmountable barrier for him.

At this moment, seeing Fang Qing, who was usually very kind to him, fall into this state of madness, Xie Yunzhou realized that he didn't even have the right to repay Fang Qing, not even by doing the smallest thing.

This made Xie Yunzhou feel frustrated.

Zheng Yanqing bit her lower lip, then, as if remembering something, turned and walked out of the Shanhe Boxing Academy.

She felt it was necessary to talk to Fang Lingsu about Fang Qing's current condition.

……

[Practice the Breaking Dragon Thrust once... Piercing Rainbow Style, combat power +1...]

【Breaking Army Returning Dragon Thrust...Piercing Rainbow Style (30%)...】

……

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

[Current Realm: Body Tempering Level 4 (40%)...]

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

[Current Combat Skill: Breaking Dragon Thrust...Piercing Rainbow Style (30%)...]

Current stamina: 100 points...

Fang Qing had been stabbed countless times.

At this point, his physical strength had reached its limit.

Fang Qing took out two Body Tempering Pills and chewed them.

[Mid-grade Body Tempering Pill, increases stamina by +100, absorption complete...]

[Mid-grade Body Tempering Pill, increases stamina by +100, absorption complete...]

Current stamina: 300 points...

……

Seeing that his stamina had recovered somewhat, Fang Qing frowned and looked at his remaining Body Tempering Pills.

Although I obtained nearly 50 Body Tempering Pills from Dai Yu and his group at Shizhenlou a few days ago.

However, I've been practicing shooting like crazy lately.

In particular, the "Breaking Army Returning Dragon Thrust Piercing Rainbow" technique must be performed without touching the rope to be considered a complete rehearsal.

This resulted in only two to three shots being needed to successfully improve the cultivation level of the Piercing Rainbow Thrust.

A lot of Body Tempering Pills were still wasted.

Fang Qing roughly counted his remaining Body Tempering Pills; he still had about twenty left.

"There are only about twenty left, which is still not enough."

For Fang Qing, who traveled from Earth, he still suffers from a fear of insufficient firepower.

Whether it's Body Tempering Pills or Qi Gathering Pills, Fang Qing always hopes to stock up on as many as possible as they can improve physical strength, just in case.

Therefore, whenever Fang Qing had the chance, he hoped to earn more rare and precious materials to replenish his physical strength.

"Brother Gu said that the Salt Patrol Guard Reserve Battalion will have some missions in the next few days, and there might be some rewards."

"I just don't know when this task will be issued."

By this time, Fang Qing noticed that it was already late, and the other fellow disciples of the Shanhe Boxing Academy had long since left.

Fang Qing tidied up and headed straight back to the Jinsha Saltworks.

As soon as Fang Qing returned to Jinsha Saltworks, Yang Zhi's family had already prepared a delicious meal and were waiting for him to come back.

I had a delicious home-cooked meal.

A short while later, Hu Zi, the salt worker whose injuries had healed, ran in, panting heavily.

"Brother Qing, there's a salt patrol officer outside who says his name is Ding Mingcheng. He wants to see you."

Upon hearing Ding Mingcheng's name, Fang Qing knew that Gu Changyuan must have a mission.

He immediately stood up to greet them.

After welcoming Ding Mingcheng to his private courtyard in the backyard.

Ding Mingcheng simply handed him a bundle.

"This is the uniform of the Salt Patrol Reserve Battalion."

"Try it on and see if it fits. If it doesn't, I'll have someone alter it right away."

Fang Qing opened the clothes and shook them.

A set of clothes identical in style to the flying fish robe worn by Ding Mingcheng appeared before him.

The only difference is that the patterns embroidered on Ding Mingcheng's flying fish robe are made of a metal thread made of copper wire, which shimmers in the light.

Fang Qing was only a reserve member of the Salt Patrol Guard, so his robe didn't have much decoration; it was just identical in style to the Flying Fish Robe.

Seeing Fang Qing put on this flying fish outfit, her entire demeanor instantly improved.

Yang Jiumei, who was passing by serving tea, was immediately captivated.

It wasn't until Yang Zhi reminded her several times that Yang Jiu Mei, blushing, quickly placed the tea in front of Fang Qing and Ding Ming Cheng, and then ran out of Fang Qing's courtyard as if fleeing.

Seeing that Fang Qing's flying fish uniform fit perfectly and needed no alterations, Ding Mingcheng continued:

"The Salt Patrol Guard Reserve Battalion originally had its own standard-issue swords, but Lord Gu said that your Falcon Spear is a top-quality weapon, so I did not issue you a standard-issue sword."

As he spoke, he looked at the Falcon Spear that Fang Qing had placed beside him.

Even Ding Mingcheng, a bronze guard of the Salt Patrol, was envious of a Falcon Spear with 30 merit points.

The longsword in his hand only had 50 merit points, which was something he had saved up for more than two years.

Fang Qing, a reserve member of the Salt Patrol Guard, started with a Falcon Spear, which is indeed a bit too extravagant.

Fang Qing nodded, but didn't say anything.

Fang Qing now treats the swords from the Shanhe Boxing Academy as mere decorations, simply carrying them on his waist.

With the hawk-shaped spear, the sword became a burden.

Immediately afterward, Ding Mingcheng lowered his voice and said:

"The salt patrol will conduct a raid on homes early tomorrow morning."

"We have obtained evidence that the Liu family, salt merchants, colluded with salt bandits to sell smuggled salt. This time, our salt patrol must forcefully suppress and kill the Liu family as a warning to others."

"You don't need to get up too early tomorrow morning. Just go to the Liu family, the salt merchant's residence, at the designated time to meet us."

Upon hearing the name of the Liu family, salt merchants, Fang Qing's eyes narrowed immediately.

Li Zaotou's niece was a cook in the Liu family, a salt merchant family.

Sure enough, Gu Changyuan had told him that day at Shizhenlou that they were going to take action against the Liu family, the salt merchants.

I didn't expect the results to come out so quickly.

Moreover, they were involved with salt bandits, so the Liu family, the salt merchants, is probably finished this time.

Although the Liu family, a salt merchant family, was not as large as the Fang family, it was still quite a large family.

As far as Fang Qing knew, the Liu family controlled four salt fields.

Logically speaking, these salt merchants should have made a fortune every year, but the Liu family was clearly insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

They actually colluded directly with salt bandits.

At the same time, Fang Qing also knew that, given his status as a reserve member of the Salt Patrol Guard, he should not have been qualified to know this news in advance. Clearly, Ding Mingcheng was trying to curry favor by revealing this news to him ahead of time.

"Tomorrow I will take you through the entire process of raiding the Liu family's property."

Fang Qing gratefully cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Ding Mingcheng.

Clearly, this was at Gu Changyuan's behest, who instructed Ding Mingcheng to mentor him, a newcomer in the Salt Patrol Guard reserve.

"But don't worry, this kind of work is generally not very dangerous."

"For the tougher nails, Lord Gu will take the lead, and we can cheer them on from behind."

Fearing that Fang Qing might be nervous, Ding Mingcheng jokingly said something.

After chatting with Ding Mingcheng for a few more minutes, Fang Qing finally saw Ding Mingcheng off.

Fang Qing did not cultivate that day, but went to bed early to conserve his energy and prepare for the raid on the Liu family, the salt merchants, the next day.

……

Early in the morning, at the hour of Yin (3-5 AM).

That is, around three o'clock.

It was pitch black outside.

Fang Wansan's door was then pounded on loudly.

Fang Wansan opened the door sleepily and immediately saw Fang Chulan standing at his door with several disciples of the Mountain and River Fist Academy.

Fang Chulan's hair was still damp with dew, and he was wearing short-sleeved clothes.

He also had a long sword at his waist, and, slightly out of breath from running, he spoke to Fang Wansan:

"Senior Brother, the Six Doors have urgently notified us that we have a mission to carry out today."

"Get dressed immediately, and we'll all assemble at the Five Cities Military Command."

Fang Wansan rushed back to his room in a hurry, put on some short clothes, and then followed Fang Chulan out.

Half an hour later, the courtyard of the Wucheng Military Command in Yancheng was filled with a group of people.

Most of these people are skilled fighters recruited from various martial arts schools and boxing academies.

While maintaining order on the periphery of the upcoming arrest operation, the Six Doors and the local Five Cities Garrison will also be secretly observing for any promising candidates.

Therefore, every martial arts school attaches great importance to such tasks.

Those who are interested should participate more, paving the way for the future outstanding disciples of the martial arts school!

Wei Wu, dressed in the uniform of the Six Doors, looked at the young faces recruited by the martial arts schools and boxing academies under the torchlight in the courtyard.

He nodded in satisfaction.

"Target: the Liu family, salt merchants. Set off immediately."

"No one is allowed to make any noise or contact anyone. Anyone found doing so will be immediately expelled from the force and permanently banned from employment by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of War!"

Fang Chulan and Fang Wansan were both taken aback upon hearing this.

They looked at each other in surprise.

Only then did they realize that today's target was actually the Liu family, who were also salt merchants...
