One Dao Fruit a day, starting with the Dragon Taming Technique.

In the ninth year of the Daqian Fulong era, in autumn.

Shuozhou, Shuocheng.

In the empty pharmacy, Xu Guang, dressed as a doctor, carefully took a handful of herbs from the box, crushed them, and placed them in front of the middle-aged patient.

"Doctor, has Dr. Xu not arrived yet today?"

Xu Guang paused slightly, but said without changing his expression, "He's gone on a long trip and won't be back for a while. Don't worry, as long as you don't want to die, I will definitely be able to save you."

"But after taking your medicine, my head hurts even more, like it's going to explode."

"Would you mind if I opened it and took a look?"

Xu Guang asked gently.

The patient's expression immediately changed drastically. "Do you even know how to treat illnesses? I already had leg pain, and now you've given me a headache! I'm going to the governor's mansion to report you!"

"Don't be angry, I was just joking."

"Who's joking with you!"

The patient became angry and started cursing.

Xu Guang sighed and took out a token from his pocket.

"You clearly have leg pain, but you say your head hurts. I suspect there's something sinister in your head. Please come with me to the military camp."

The patient was stunned when he saw the token in Xu Guang's hand.

It says this on it.

Xu Guang, the military officer in Qinghuai Town

Tooth Soldiers!?

The patient's headache immediately disappeared, and he turned and ran away with the burly man who was planning to extort money from him.

Since the Liang King of the Great Qian Dynasty changed the era name to Fulong, the military governors in various regions have been holding onto their troops and becoming powerful. Since the military governor of Hedong established his personal guard and swept across the three prefectures of the Central Plains, the military governors in various regions have followed suit and spent a lot of money to establish their own personal guards.

In order to win over the elite soldiers with their exceptional combat skills, all soldiers were chosen through a system of succession from father to son, and they were given the best treatment.

The military guards are also intermarried for generations, making their relationship complex. Today, the relationship between the military guards and the military governors is no longer a simple superior-subordinate one, but rather one of mutual dependence. In some places, the military guards even regard the military governors as nothing, and will simply replace them if they don't work out.

The guards were so arrogant and overbearing that no one dared to oppose them these days!

Xu Guang watched the patient's retreating figure, stroking his chin.

His head should be okay now, right?

It seems I truly have the talent to be a doctor; I, Xu Guang, possess the qualities of a divine physician.

After waiting for a while, Xu Guang sighed as no message of a successful rescue came to his mind.

A single thought can be good or evil; good results cultivate character, while evil results hone one's skills.

[3 lives lost, 0 life saved, current order: Evil (earn 1 evil fruit per day)]

[Bad consequences (188), good consequences (0)]

[Sex: Iron Body Skill (Level 2)]

[Technique: None]

To advance in Iron Body Kung Fu, one needs twenty acts of good karma and one major consultation over twenty years.

Xu Guang closed the panel expressionlessly.

This is his cheat code; the effect is simple: based on the current order, he receives a corresponding fruit each day, and the fruit can enhance his sexuality and skills.

But the key point is that he only has sex, he has absolutely no skills.

The cheat code is currently only visible but not usable.

Saving people is really difficult. What exactly constitutes saving someone's life?

He has already tried so hard.

From secretly releasing death row inmates to providing relief to disaster victims, and now even treating patients at his second uncle's pharmacy, the number of people he has saved so far is still 0.

It's a chaotic world, everyone's at war, all he wants is to be a good person and save a few people, is that so hard?

With a sigh, he walked towards the backyard.

"Xu Guang!! You beast!"

As soon as I entered the backyard, I heard someone cursing.

Xu Guang pushed open the door and entered without any expression.

The person inside glanced at Xu Guang, glaring angrily, "Xu Guang, you've really grown wings, daring to even kidnap me!"

Xu Guang remained expressionless. "How exactly did my father die? And why have all my family's shops become Zhang Hu's property?"

"I have no idea!"

"Second Uncle, you're my own second uncle!"

"I told you I didn't know. Back when I sent you to be a soldier, your father asked for your services, and I immediately gave you twenty taels of silver to bribe him. Now that you're back, you come looking for me. What does that mean?"

"So this is your reason for selling our shop to Zhang Hu after my father died? Second Uncle, you don't actually think I died out there, do you?"

Xu Guang stared expressionlessly at his second uncle, who was bound hand and foot.

"You! How could you think of me like that?"

Uncle Xu looked sad.

"Fine, since you don't believe me, then kill me!"

kill?

Xu Guang now hates killing more than anything; he just wants to be a good person.

Moreover, this is his own second uncle. What would people say if he were killed?

"I won't kill you. I'll take care of you. When my cousin comes back, I'll talk to him about it in detail."

Uncle Xu's expression changed slightly. "How dare you! Your cousin is a scholar, an official in the Central Plains. You've already harmed me enough, now you want to harm your cousin too? He's always treated you like an older brother!"

Xu Guang remained expressionless. "Then please tell me the truth, Second Uncle. How exactly did my father die, and how did the shop end up in Zhang Hu's hands?"

Uncle Xu coughed twice, then a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face. "You don't want to kill me, but I will die because of you. Get out of here!"

Just as Xu Guang was about to speak, he saw blood trickling from the corner of his second uncle's mouth; the blood was black.

He took poison.

[Forcing someone to commit suicide by poisoning is a crime, currently classified as Lawful: Evil]

Xu Guang: ...

Impressed!

Xu Guang stood there in silence for a long time, his mood becoming increasingly agitated.

My second uncle has never been very close to me since I was a child, but when my father paid for me to become a slave, my second uncle also paid for it. I thought he was on my side. But I didn't expect to receive news recently that my father had died and that my second uncle had sold my shop to Zhang Hu.

Now, my second uncle would rather die than reveal the reason.

In his agitated state, Xu Guang loosened the ropes binding his second uncle, took one last look at him, and then found a straw mat outside to wrap his body.

Currently, the secret to saving lives cannot be found. If one wants to cultivate and strengthen their own martial arts, they can only rely on their own efforts, which requires money.

But now that his father is dead, his family shop is gone too.

My second uncle's pharmacy was dirt poor; all that was left were some cheap medicines, as if it had been completely looted by someone.

and……

Xu Guang thought about how his second uncle looked before he died; his condition was very strange, completely unlike how he had been before.

It seems I have to go find Zhang Hu. Thinking about Zhang Hu's identity, Xu Guang felt a headache coming on. He was involved in organized crime and had connections to the government.

It's not that I'm afraid, but dealing with people like that inevitably involves killing.

He genuinely didn't want to kill people indiscriminately.

Fine, if I can't be a good person, then I'll just kill until rivers of blood flow.

Thinking about his experiences after transmigrating.

Half a year ago, he transmigrated from the modern world and was sent to the military camp by his father, who begged and pleaded with everyone and spent a lot of money.

In chaotic times, becoming a soldier is never a good way out. Who knows when you might die on the battlefield, especially since Shuocheng is located on the border.

However, Xu Guang soon discovered that the wars of the entire Daqian Dynasty seemed to have stopped two years ago.

But this is not a good thing. The reason for the cessation of the war is simple: not only are there demons and monsters in the mountains with extraordinary abilities, but some demons have also formed various tribes and have been in long-term confrontation with humans. Some places have even been conquered by demons and become semi-colonies.

The monsters are ferocious, and the most terrifying of all are some demons who possess unimaginable extraordinary abilities. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even soldiers who have practiced external martial arts, or even those martial arts masters who have been famous in the martial arts world for a long time, are unable to cope with the endless tricks of the demons.

Xu Guang had witnessed demons eating people with his own eyes. As a soldier, the most elite army under the Shuofang Jiedushi, he would have to face demons sooner or later, and he did not want to become demon food one day.

I glanced at the mysterious panel in my mind one last time.

"The most urgent tasks are to first clarify the requirements and rules for saving lives, and what exactly constitutes saving lives; secondly, to find a way to match the 'techniques' on the panel."
