I ascended to godhood through the 100-ton King Martial Arts.

Li family.

People of different ethnicities gathered together.

The cheerful old man Li, sitting in the center, raised his wine bowl and said, "Qingshan will be returning to the sect tomorrow. Everyone, I wish him all the best for the future."

One by one, the people, whether happy or grateful, picked up their bowls and drank the wine in one go.

Li Qingshan joined in the drinking.

He kept the dangers of this military service a secret from his clansmen, as well as from Li Tie, who knew the situation, and Li Tie's father-in-law.

Even if the clansmen know about my military service, they can't help and it only adds to my troubles.

The alcohol went down my throat.

Li Qingshan glanced at his family members, a smile on his face.

His parents were also all smiles, and they looked much younger than they had six months ago.

Money can sustain a person.

Nowadays, they have servants to help with their small businesses, their children are educated or taking care of their health, and even if they don't excel in martial arts in the future, they don't have to worry about marriage.

Everything goes smoothly for him, and he can even help other members of his tribe.

These days are so pleasant and carefree.

All of this was brought about by the eldest son, Li Qingshan.

My son is going to serve in the sect now, and I heard it's very far away, so he'll be able to come back even less often in the future.

Although the two were reluctant to part, they had gotten used to it.

My younger brother and sister's side.

The three younger brothers all look much stronger, fairer, and their faces are fuller.

The two younger sisters are about the same size, and they are dressed even more beautifully.

Especially the third sister.

The third sister and the second brother are twins, but they look very different.

The second brother was of average appearance, but the third sister was the most beautiful in the family. She would be fifteen in a few months, the age when she could put her hair up and wear hairpins.

In the few months since I arrived in the county town, my clothes and appearance have improved, and I've learned needlework and other skills. I've also done less work, and my skin has become fair and tender, and my face has gained weight, making me even more attractive.

My parents told me that other wealthy families on the street want to become in-laws with them.

Li Qingshan did not intend to interfere, but simply allowed the selection of martial arts families.

His third sister is indeed quite good-looking.

If I can live on, then all will be well. But if something happens in the future and my husband’s family doesn’t have the power to protect me, then my third sister’s appearance will be a problem.

Perhaps it's because of the alcohol.

Or perhaps it's a sense of uncertainty about the future.

Li Qingshan's thoughts were racing.

...

After the farewell banquet.

It was unusual for Old Man Li to have Li Tie call out to Li Qingshan.

The three arrived at a secluded cabin.

Old Li's face was still flushed with drunkenness, but the smile he had shown at the banquet was gone.

He sighed. "Qingshan, you're going to serve in the Bitter Realm, aren't you?"

Li Qingshan was taken aback.

He looked at Li Tie, only to find that the other man was also stunned.

Old Li waved his hand, his eyes filled with reminiscence:

"It wasn't Xiao Tie who said it; the old man knows these things himself."

Actually, our Li family was a military family back then.

He was born in the prefectural city.

Then something terrible happened.

Overnight, white fog blanketed the city.

There is something in that white mist.

Whether they were martial artists or ordinary people, many people died suddenly and mysteriously in their sleep.

Our Li family was also destroyed and everyone died.

Only my older sister and I are left alive.

I was quite young at the time, having just started learning to read and write, and had been taking medicinal baths to recuperate for a while, but had not yet had the chance to receive any instruction in martial arts.

So many years have passed.

Many memories I can no longer recall.

All I remember is that after the fog cleared, my older sister and I were separated by the crowd while fleeing.

I was swept up in the crowd, confused and disoriented, and followed one of the groups on their escape for months, experiencing many things before finally settling down in Stone Village.

At this point, Old Man Li sighed again:

"We didn't say these things before because it would have been pointless to say them."

Now, it's all thanks to the blessings of our ancestors that a martial artist like you, Qingshan, was born.

"Qingshan, this old man only hopes you remember one thing."

Li Qingshan bowed: "Grandpa, please speak."

"Living is more important than anything else!"

Li Qingshan bowed again: "I remember, Grandpa."

...

Leave the cabin.

Li Qingshan and Li Tie had a brief chat about the future development and plans of the clan, and then Li Qingshan went to talk to his parents for a few minutes.

There wasn't much to talk about.

His parents didn't understand martial arts; all they kept telling him was to take care of his health and not forget to eat...

Li Qingshan showed no impatience.

My younger brother and sister's side.

He also went to say goodbye alone.

Li Qingshan was reincarnated, not possessed by another person.

Having lived together for so many years, I have genuine feelings for my family.

As we parted, I felt a pang of reluctance.

...

After saying goodbye to everyone.

It was evening.

At this time, a curfew had been imposed in all areas except for the designated flower streets.

Li Qingshan is a martial artist and a member of the Iron Leg Sect, so he doesn't need to concern himself with these matters.

Along the way, there was a night patrol team from the Foreign Affairs Office.

Seeing the nameplate hanging from his waist and his attire, the spirit possessing him glanced at him from afar and then silently stepped aside.

Li Qingshan walked slowly.

While using his mind to search through the contents of the white-robed man's ring, he pondered the information his grandfather had revealed.

Even in Qingyuan County, there are experts at the Spirit Suppression and Spirit Transformation realms stationed there.

It's impossible for a prefectural city not to have even more powerful spirit guardians and more powerful martial artists.

Overnight, most of the people died.

It's horrifying to even hear about.

Over the past six months, he has read through all the books on the third floor of the library, but has not encountered any similar records.

Li Qingshan planned to go to the consultation room and ask the elders when he had more money in his pocket.

As for the matter of serving in the harsh conditions, he had already found out.

...

"I've inquired about it. After entering the Bitter Realm, disciples will be assigned various positions and receive minimum wages. Half of those wages will be automatically deducted to repay loans..."

Unfortunately, my senior sister Xu from the same department returned to her service in the harsh environment three months ago after her leave ended, and didn't give me any more information..."

Thinking of his senior sister Xu Caiwei, Li Qingshan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

Senior Sister Xu's legs are in excellent shape.

He has already tested it himself.

The goods are genuine and of good quality.

Getting information for free is still too difficult.

The mentality of being determined to contribute points has been ingrained in the very bones of every disciple.

Li Qingshan went to great lengths to obtain some information for free.

There was no other way; Senior Sister Xu had been a disciple for quite some time and had already undergone three transformations, possessing the strength of ten thousand jin and a physique comparable to a savage beast.

Li Qingshan talked himself hoarse, and with the help of his powerful comprehension, he quickly figured out his opponent's weaknesses. He then used the momentum of a thousand layers of waves to continuously attack his opponent's weaknesses.

With such a combination of methods and relentless attacks, even an iron tree would bloom.

Senior Sister Xu was no match for her.

She was beaten so badly that she was nearly knocked unconscious.

In a daze, he begged for mercy.

This revealed some core information about the Bitter Realm, giving Li Qingshan a better understanding.

After browsing through the white-robed man's spatial ring...

Li Qingshan remained even more composed about serving in harsh conditions.

Let's leave aside other miscellaneous things for now.

Inside the white-robed man's spatial ring, there were actually more than a thousand magic stones.

In addition, there are more than seventy magic stones in the bone space ring of the Blood Fiend Sect.

Li Qingshan now possesses nearly 1,100 magic stones.

This thing is the common currency in the cultivation world of the Guixu Continent.

Inside the Iron Leg Gate is the recycling price for three contribution points and two magic stones.

But no one would be willing to exchange it.

In the sect's black market, the true price of a magic stone is roughly equivalent to exchanging one for two contribution points.

He held such a huge sum of money in his hands.

Li Qingshan entered the Bitter Realm, which gave him the means to offer bribes.

Yes, it was bribery.

According to Senior Sister Xu.

Once you enter a difficult situation, you will be assigned a job.

A good job and a bad job are not just a difference in income, but also a difference between life and death.

Now that Li Qingshan had gained confidence, he prepared to bribe the elder in charge of allocation to choose an empty logistics position.

His comprehension became increasingly abnormal.

He had long ago been able to condense martial runes and complete his second and third transformations.

The reason I'm still stuck is simply because I've realized that "Thousand Layer Wave Force" is the core of the true skill "Thousand Layer Wave Leg".

Li Qingshan had a strong premonition that he would practice the "Thousand Layer Wave Force" to its extreme, bring it to life, and then condense the martial runes.

There will be a surprise waiting for you then.

...

While pondering.

Unbeknownst to Li Qingshan, he had arrived outside the courtyard.

He stopped, looked into the darkness not far away, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said, "Senior, have you come to suppress the spirit?"

"No wonder I noticed your residence wasn't protected by any spirits; it seems you had a premonition."

A handsome middle-aged man slowly emerged from the darkness.

The other party took out a money bag and threw it at Li Qingshan's feet:

"The spirit-suppressing technique left behind by Wang Xiao is something you, who relies on powerful medicine to break through, can't handle, as even martial arts patterns require half a year of transformation."

You are about to enter a state of suffering and be assigned a position.

Here are fifty magic stones, equivalent to one hundred contribution points, enough for you to get a relatively safe job after entering the Bitter Realm.

If you feel that's not enough, then add a favor from me, someone at the Qi Sea Realm.

how?"

Li Qingshan glanced at the money pouch at his feet, took out a compass from his pocket, and tossed it over: "The binding has already been broken ahead of time, but I don't understand why you waited half a year, senior."

He had already placed the order for the Zhenling transaction at the Foreign Affairs Hall.

The market price for a small-town spirit like Xiaohu, whose coverage area is not large, is around two thousand, but Li Qingshan listed it at a respectable price of one thousand contribution points.

It's like he's proactively revealing his intention to throw this thing away.

But nobody paid any attention to them.

At that time, Li Qingshan knew that he was being watched, and the person watching him didn't want to spend any more money.

Those who have their eyes on you are unwilling to spend even this small amount of money.

Li Qingshan understood that if he sold Zhenling cheaply or gave it away, the people who were eyeing it would definitely hold a grudge against him.

That's human nature.

He just got too lazy to bother with it anymore.

He'll give it to anyone who asks.

I just hope that the first lucky person to come here won't regret it later.

The middle-aged man in front of us is that lucky one.

He didn't expect Li Qingshan to be so cooperative.

The handsome middle-aged man took the compass, a smile spreading across his face, and said frankly:

"The county town is an orderly place."

You need to willingly offer up your spirit-suppressing power so that the array master can help you recognize it as your master and reduce potential risks.

Threatening words.

If you don't know what's good for you and are provoked into selling it cheaply or giving it away, you'll only make things worse and end up losing everything.

So no one has bothered you before.

Now that you're going to serve in the harsh conditions, people have a lot more options.

I am a kind-hearted person and don't want to push things to the extreme.

I came early today because I was afraid someone else would snatch it from you.

"Now it's much better. I don't have to keep an eye on this anymore, you don't have to worry anymore, and it wasn't in vain that I went to all that trouble to come back early for vacation."

As they were talking.

Another figure broke through the air.

I saw the two of them.

The visitor realized he was too late, and left again with a dark expression.

Upon seeing this, the handsome middle-aged man laughed heartily: "See, I wasn't wrong, was I?"

Li Qingshan nodded: "Senior is indeed incredibly insightful."

When dealing with this senior in the future, he should learn from him, think more and do more, not be afraid of trouble, and make sure to eliminate them completely and leave no future troubles.

...

the next day.

Li Qingshan put the pork he hadn't finished eating into his spatial ring.

He arrived at the storeroom inside the gate early, registered, and then waited to be led to the realm of suffering.
