My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

Name: Lu Zheng

Age: 16

[Cultivation Level: Tendon Refining]

[Technique: Third-grade intermediate martial art "Dragon Elephant Body Forging Technique" (24028/30000 Great Mastery)]

[Medical Skills: Mu's Medical Classic (7083/10000 Minor Completion)]

[Achievement Points: 2702]

Looking at the data above, Lu Zheng was very satisfied.

My strength is about to break through, and I've accumulated most of my achievement points.

If my cultivation could break through to the Refining Realm, I would have some means to protect myself.

Then, he walked out of the dungeon and said to the guard's flag, "Keep a good watch and don't let anyone inside die. We'll make a decision after the centurion returns."

"Yes, sir," the junior officer replied hastily.

When they looked at Lu Zheng, a burning desire appeared in their eyes. When he first arrived, they all thought that Lu Zheng was able to enter the Hundred Cavalry Division because of his connections. Although they were polite, they didn't feel much.

At most, I just want to avoid provoking the other party.

However, as things unfolded one by one...

They discovered that this person was indeed capable.

Now, even sect masters at the Innate Realm have been captured by him.

  

Everyone in the Hundred Riders Division knew that experts at this level were extremely difficult to capture.

Even on the battlefield, he can take on a thousand enemies single-handedly.

Most importantly, these two people came for Lu Zheng.

Two masters of innate talent attempted to assassinate a captain of the Hundred Cavalry Division, but were captured by the latter.

When this news got out, who wouldn't be shocked?

At this moment, Lu Zheng ignored his subordinates' thoughts.

He walked straight to the military merit building next door, intending to buy some pills and other cultivation supplies.

As soon as I entered the Military Merit Building, I saw a lot of people gathered there.

Most of them were general flags and small flags.

Some people greeted him politely, while others stepped forward to bow.

After all, everyone has heard about today's battle, and they have great admiration for the newly appointed commander.

The capture of two innate individuals is a tremendous achievement.

A squad leader standing nearby looked at Lu Zheng with undisguised envy in his eyes.

It seems like the Northern Garrison Command hasn't captured such a formidable expert in several years.

This is another big splash!

We don't know how the centurion will be rewarded when he returns.

Just as they were thinking this in their hearts.

Lu Zheng greeted everyone, then his gaze fell on a wooden box placed on the table.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted from inside, and many people glanced at the box intentionally or unintentionally, but their eyes still held hesitation.

"What is this?" Lu Zheng asked.

The official in charge of the military merit building immediately smiled and said, "Lord Lu, this is a good thing, the Dragon Tendon Strengthening Pill. It is said to be made by mixing the tendons and bones of the North Sea dragon."

Our Northern Garrison Command didn't get many; it was only because the centurion had some influence that he managed to apply for this one.

For those in the Tendon Refining Realm, this is definitely extremely beneficial.

"How much silver?"

"Eleven thousand taels is a bit expensive, but it's definitely worth it. If someone is in the late stage of the Tendon Refining realm, this one pill could probably allow them to break through directly."

"I'll buy it. Here's ten thousand taels of silver. You'll deduct one thousand military merits from my pay," Lu Zheng said without hesitation.

His proficiency has greatly increased, and if he has this pill, even if he can't break through immediately, he should be able to significantly increase his strength.

Seeing this, the envy on the faces of the surrounding officers and sergeants deepened.

They came here specifically to see this elixir.

Some people are hesitating about whether to pool their money to buy it.

Although these people didn't receive much pay, they could still make money outside.

Even the lowest-ranking officials in the Hundred Cavalry Division could, over the years, scrape together several thousand taels of silver by selling everything they owned. Combined with their accumulated military merits, they could barely afford to buy elixirs to make ends meet.

So, while everyone hesitated over the pills, Lu Zheng beat them to it.

After the elixir fell into his hands.

While others were envious, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

The main problem is that it's too difficult to choose.

Now that Lu Zheng has made the choice for them, they no longer need to struggle with it.

"Farewell, everyone." Lu Zheng took the pills, said goodbye to everyone, and left.

After it got completely dark, Lu Zheng returned home, where the house next door had already been cleaned up.

However, border troops were still guarding the entrance.

A faint smell of blood filled his nostrils.

Although I'm used to it, it still feels a little uncomfortable.

After Lu Zheng closed the door and went inside, he took out the pill and swallowed it.

The next moment, the powerful medicinal effects began to circulate throughout the body.

A surge of heat coursed through his veins, making Lu Zheng feel more comfortable than ever before.

Meanwhile, the system voice also sounded simultaneously.

[Host's proficiency in the "Dragon Elephant Body Forging Technique" has increased by 100.]

[Host's proficiency in the "Dragon Elephant Body Forging Technique" has increased by 100.]

......

This cultivation speed is actually comparable to Lu Zheng's battles with innate masters.

Excitement appeared on his face.

However, he dared not stop circulating his cultivation technique in the slightest.

One night passed.

When he opened his eyes again, joy flashed in them.

Although there was no breakthrough, there was significant progress.

It was somewhat beyond his expectations.

If nothing goes wrong, it won't be long before my cultivation level breaks through to the Refining Realm.

At that very moment, on the streets of Fufeng County, Xiao Ling, accompanied by more than a dozen elite cavalrymen, charged wildly and crashed straight into the garrison.

I just jumped off the horse.

He threw the riding whip to one of his men.

A figure hurried over; it was a junior officer in charge of guarding the dungeon. Upon seeing Xiao Ling, he clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying, "Centurion, yesterday, Commander Lu apprehended two assassins from sects at the Innate Realm in the city, and they are now imprisoned in the dungeon."

Upon hearing this news, Xiao Ling raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised as well. She never expected that Lu Zheng would achieve another merit after only a few days of her absence.

He immediately headed towards the dungeon.

A moment later, after confirming that the two men were indeed their identities, he smiled and went into the backyard.

At this moment, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, thinking that Lu Zheng was truly my lucky charm.

It's a bit of a shame, though, that the other person has now caught the attention of higher-ups, and may not be able to stay by their side forever.

As she stepped into the backyard, she saw Jiangzhu approaching: "Miss is back."

The latter had a smile on his face.

Xiao Ling nodded and walked toward the living room, with Jiang Zhu following closely behind.

As soon as she entered, the latter said, "Miss, I heard that Lu Zheng captured two more people from sects yesterday, and they are currently imprisoned in the dungeon."

"Yes, I know, I already saw it." Xiao Ling nodded.

However, she then seemed to remember something and continued, "From now on, you can't call Lu Zheng by his name directly. When you see him, you must call him Lord Lu, understand?"

After Xiao Ling finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Zhu with a hint of regret in her eyes.

This girl is still happy; I wonder what her expression will be when she finds out Lu Zheng has been promoted.

"Yes, Miss." Jiangzhu said somewhat aggrievedly. She was just a captain, why did she have to call him "sir"?

Xiao Ling didn't care what she was thinking and continued, "Have someone go to Lu Zheng's house and tell him I need to see him."

This guy became a deputy commander in a short period of time.

Even Xiao Ling was somewhat envious of Lu Zheng's rapid advancement.

I don't know if he'll be excited after I give him the appointment letter today.

"I'll go right away," Jiangzhu replied and walked out of the living room.
