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

Xu Guang had been paying close attention to Zhang Hu's death.

However, neither the government nor Xu Sheng's army said a word about the demons entering the city, as if the demons had never entered the city at all.

Du Changwei has already arranged for that family to be sent out of the city, and the bull demon's corpse has also been disposed of. It shouldn't be possible to trace it back to Xu Guang in the short term.

Finally, three days after Zhang Hu's death, the governor's office, together with the imperial guards, imprisoned Huang Zhang.

Huang Zhang had been running brothels for several years and amassed a fortune. However, with Huang Zhang's imprisonment, his property was also confiscated.

This matter seems to have come to a close.

Upon learning of Huang Zhang's imprisonment, Xu Guang was speechless. He had originally planned to get Huang Zhang to talk, but now it seemed...

We can only hope that the people in the governor's mansion won't kill Huang Zhang.

When Xu Guang was on an inspection tour, he encountered Xu Sheng once. At that time, Xu Sheng had a smile on his face, as if the death of his brother-in-law had no effect on him at all.

Xu Sheng even invited Xu Guang to drink and promised to give Xu Guang's father's shop back to him within three days, asking for only a symbolic hundred strings of cash, which Xu Guang could repay within two years.

Xu Guang understood immediately; it seemed that confiscating Huang Zhang's property had brought Xu Sheng considerable benefits.

But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. Zhang Hu didn't go that day, but Xu Guang went to Zhang Hu's house. However, Xu Sheng didn't send anyone. Obviously, in the other party's mind, this so-called brother-in-law was dispensable.

With Zhang Hu's death, the story came to an end, leaving only the mournful cries of Zhang Hu's sister.

When those above are greedy and those below are corrupt, this is the chaos of a chaotic world.

Of course, Xu Guang also needed money. Practicing martial arts is an extremely expensive thing. After he practiced the Dragon Taming Technique, he became a glutton and was even more short of money.

Life is tough.

At noon, Xu Guang casually found a place on the street to sit down and eat.

There was also a group of soldiers nearby, but they weren't a single one. They didn't know each other, but their faces looked familiar, so they nodded to each other.

A moment later, the sound of several soldiers chatting and laughing came from the shop.

The shopkeeper smiled obsequiously and not only refused to accept money, but also slipped some silver to the soldiers before they left.

Those who could become soldiers were mostly from wealthy families, and many of them were educated, but very few were willing to use their brains.

The way everyone chooses to make money is simple and crude: if you give me money, we'll live in peace; if you don't give me money, then I'll cause you trouble.

In reality, most of the soldiers were locals, and they had already toned it down somewhat.

Xu Guang silently shook his head. He also planned to make money, but he wouldn't use such a simple and crude method that would offend people.

Back at the military camp, Du Changwei walked towards Xu Guang with a happy expression.

"Xiao Guang, we've found evidence against that butcher Sun you asked me to keep an eye on."

"Then let him go to jail."

Xu Guang said softly.

Sun the butcher, a native of Shuocheng, was always seen as honest by outsiders.

The day before yesterday, Xu Guang's old neighbor Niu Dachuan saw him and went to Xu Guang to report the case. He had personally seen Sun the butcher working as a bandit in his younger days.

Xu Guang had observed that Butcher Sun was very wealthy.

He feels no guilt whatsoever about getting money from this kind of person.

Although it's a bit of a hassle.

There have to be some bottom lines when it comes to making money.

Sun the butcher was really rich. After he was imprisoned, Du Changwei and his men intimidated him. The next day, his wife came with 130 strings of cash and begged for his release.

Xu Guang didn't make things difficult for him; he released the man after paying the money, which was quite normal.

Of the 130 strings of cash, 70 strings were distributed to his subordinates, and the remaining 50 strings belonged to Xu Guang.

Days passed by like this, with daily patrols to find those who had committed crimes in the past, those who were wealthy, and those who were now engaged in shady businesses.

Unexpectedly, this method of making money was much faster than other teams.

It usually takes three to five days to catch one, but these people are all rich, with some getting ten or more strings of cash and others getting dozens.

Money may seem plentiful, but it can't be spent all at once.

Xu Guang spent hundreds of coins every day on food and martial arts practice, so he couldn't save any money at all.

Three days later.

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

[4 lives lost, 7 lives saved; current order: Good (receive one good deed reward daily)]

[Bad consequences (241), good consequences (6)]

[Sex: Iron Body Skill (Level 2+)]

[Skill: Dragon Taming (Level 2+)]

The good deeds have finally been accumulated enough, and it's time to improve.

The cellar in the house.

Xu Guang slowly calmed his breathing, his chest and abdomen rising and falling, his muscles moving like flowing water, and sweat slowly rolling down his face.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes.

upgrade.

At the appropriate time.

Suddenly, invisible currents of energy surged through the muscles inside the body. Countless currents of energy flowed along the muscles and slowly seeped into the interior, and the meridians eagerly absorbed the warm currents.

Xu Guang had never felt this way before; a feeling of tension ran through his entire body.

Previously complex movements that resembled acrobatics can now be performed with ease.

Xu Guang looked down at his hands, which were still somewhat white and tender. He clenched his fists slightly, and the veins bulged out very clearly.

The force travels along the meridians and can easily reach all parts of the body.

Meridians are like… highways of power.

Xu Guang thought to himself.

He did not get up, but swept the ashes of the ginseng aside and took out a hundred catties of beef from the side.

This just arrived today. The Li family in the city lost a draft ox yesterday. The third master of the Li family has some connections with Du Zhong, and Xu Guang took a hundred catties of it through Du Zhong's influence.

Beef was expensive, but luckily Sun the butcher had his earnings, otherwise Xu Guang would have spent all his savings.

He originally planned to use the bull demon's corpse, but the demon's corpse was strange. In just a few days, the flesh and blood on the bull demon's corpse became somewhat dry, as if some of the substances inside had been lost. The bones, although also somewhat dry, did not lose as much flesh and blood as the flesh and blood.

It's estimated that some special methods would be needed to preserve the demon's corpse.

In addition to beef, you also need a cow testicle.

Cow gallstones are much more expensive than beef, but Xu Guang had previously found a small piece in his second uncle's pharmacy.

"A single drop of the Demon-Transforming Powder—I wonder if that will be enough."

Xu Guang thought it should be possible.

With this in mind, I no longer hesitated.

I wonder what abilities one can obtain at the third level of the Dragon Taming Technique.

Having already been promoted once, Xu Guang seemed quite adept at promoting again.

As Xu Guang raised his hand to touch the beef and testicles, a dragon's roar resounded from within his body.

An invisible warm current circulated continuously throughout Xu Guang's body, causing the true dragon within him to emit clear dragon roars.

As the Dragon Taming Technique is cultivated to level 3, the dragon's roar is no longer chaotic, as if a disassembled true dragon is gradually gaining a soul.

Xu Guang felt that this skill would be very difficult to master on one's own.

The ability gained from level 3 Dragon Taming is... a deer!

Similar to the ox, but the deer excels in speed, capable of doubling its speed in an instant, and also possesses dynamic vision.

Xu Guang opened his eyes and activated the Dragon-Deer Transformation.

He didn't display extreme speed; he simply opened his eyes and looked around. Everything around him seemed to slow down in his eyes.

In the corner of the cellar, there was a spider. He could clearly see the spider spinning its web, as if... in slow motion.

Very good ability.

It has speed, strength, and defense.

Although I have just entered the Tendon Realm, I believe that among those in the same realm, there is no one who can rival me.

However... using the Dragon Taming Technique puts a lot of strain on the body. If the three supernatural powers of snake, ox, and deer are activated at the same time, it can only be maintained for a maximum of two minutes.

Xu Guang frowned, but that was enough.

I checked the requirements for upgrading Iron Body Skill and Dragon Taming Technique to level 4.

[Iron Body Skill (Level 3), requires 50 Good Fruits, 3 Demon Bones with over 10 years of cultivation, and 1 Black Bone Vine with 20 years of cultivation to upgrade]

【Dragon Taming Technique (Level 3): Upgrade requires 50 Evil Fruits, two pairs of true antlers from a deer demon with over ten years of cultivation, and one demon core from a deer demon with over twenty years of cultivation】

Xu Guang frowned. Besides the good and evil destiny fruits, the materials needed were becoming increasingly rare.

The demon bones needed for the Iron Body Technique are relatively easy to find; the bull demon killed at Zhang Hu's house met the requirements. But the Black Bone Vine…

This is a precious medicine that is extremely effective for bone tempering and is very expensive. After all, those who use Black Bone Vine to temper their bones are usually experts in bone tempering, so the threshold for using it is extremely high. As such, the high price of Black Bone Vine is evident.

They are usually sold by weight, starting at ten strings of cash per tael, and the panels are required to be over twenty years old.

Fortunately, Xu Guang has the small blue bottle. As long as he can find the Black Bone Vine and consume more Demon Transformation Powder, he should be able to manage.

But the dragon-taming technique…

All of these are related to deer demons, and Xu Guang really didn't know if there were any deer demons near Shuocheng.

However, since Du Zhong was able to obtain deer antlers when he first started learning the art of dragon taming, there must be deer demons in the vicinity of Shuocheng.
