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

Having killed two people on the spot, Xu Guang's death toll has reached six. Fortunately, he had previously saved a family of six, and together with Wu Yunmiao, he is currently still in the good order.

Xu Guang breathed a sigh of relief.

"You almost ruined my plans."

Fortunately, he realized his mistake in the end and held back a bit, otherwise he would be kneeling down and begging Bai Yue and the others not to die right now.

It was so difficult to save a family and turn them into lawful good; it would be such a loss if they turned into evil because of these few people.

Looking at the panel, Xu Guang couldn't help but sigh. How many people in this world were worthy of dying by his hand?

He found a rope and dragged the three men, who were barely alive, back to the military camp. Xu Guang was too lazy to go home.

He practiced his skills in front of the military tent for a while, then took out the items he had taken from Bai Yue and the others.

There were about thirteen taels of silver, two or three porcelain bottles, and a map.

The porcelain bottle contained a pill, which tasted exactly like the one I got from killing Niu San before. I just don't know if it's the same one.

Xu Guang dared not eat it indiscriminately and could only put it away.

Qing Shuo Sect…

I was careful enough, but I didn't expect the news to still leak out.

The Qing Shuo Sect is deeply rooted in Shuocheng and has great strength. Its sect leader, Nie Haichuan, is a Dan Jin (level 5) master and a guest of honor at the governor's mansion.

With Bai Yue gone missing, the Qing Shuo Sect will certainly not let this go easily.

And that so-called Lady Deer…

Dan Jin is equivalent to the fifth level of physical cultivation, the Marrow Realm, which is considered top-tier in the martial arts world of Shuofang Prefecture.

Furthermore, the higher the level of an internal energy master, the greater their advantage against external martial arts masters. Xu Guang suspected that even if he raised his Iron Body Skill to level 5, he would still need to activate the Dragon Transformation to kill Nie Haichuan.

Of course, Nie Haichuan probably wouldn't personally deal with him, but what if he did?

The Iron Body Technique needs to be improved as soon as possible, as for the Black Bone Vine…

The next day.

Xu Guang went to the pawnshop and asked if they had Black Bone Vine.

This pawnshop was opened by the Li family of Shuocheng. The Li family is one of the largest families in Shuocheng and has a lot of influence in the whole city. The governor of Shuocheng is a member of the Li family. This is just a branch, but it is still the largest pawnshop in the vicinity.

"Sir, are you here to pawn or store something?"

As Xu Guang stepped inside, a manager behind the counter stood up. His military uniform was too conspicuous. He spoke very politely, smiling and clasping his hands in a fist salute to Xu Guang.

"Pawning is also a form of storage."

The steward's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that this soldier had probably found a treasure at the home of some sucker.

Xu Guang took out the water lotus that he had previously nurtured with the Demon-Transforming Powder from his bosom.

The steward's eyes brightened even more. "Excellent quality! This water lily is at least ten years old, so well preserved, as if it were just picked. We can offer thirty taels of silver, what do you think..."

Xu Guang frowned. "It's a bit low."

"Sir, you misunderstand. The greatest benefit of water lilies is skin protection, but as you know, in today's world, appearances aren't that valuable. I won't lie to you, if you had brought them out twenty years earlier, when Emperor Chang was in power, the price would have been ten times higher!"

Xu Guang thought for a moment, then put the water lily away. Since it wouldn't fetch a good price, he might as well give it to You Niang later.

Then he took out the chicken blood flower that he had cultivated before, which was about ten years old. Since its main function is to replenish qi and blood, it was not difficult to sell it for a high price at present. The manager readily gave him seventy taels of silver.

"Do you have Black Bone Vine?"

"I do have one, but it's not old enough. I don't know if it will meet your standards."

The foreman told the workers to fetch a wooden box from the back. Inside, the black bone vines were only the length of a finger and looked more like they had been taken from an older black bone vine.

Xu Guang looked at the cross-section and thought that the fish could still survive, which pleased him.

"How much?"

The manager carefully observed Xu Guang's expression. Seeing that he was expressionless, he did not dare to ask for an exorbitant price. "Black bone vine is rare. Although this one is a bit young, it is of good quality. Please give me fifty taels of silver."

Xu Guang's lips twitched.

"Are there any martial arts techniques such as light-footedness, fist techniques, or sword techniques?"

Xu Guang thought of something and asked.

With the threats from the Qing Shuo Sect, Lady Lu, and the group of bull demons looming overhead, Xu Guang planned to increase his combat strength as much as possible.

He has the idea of ​​cultivating both internal and external skills, but his current spiritual progress is insufficient. For the time being, he can only focus on Iron Body Technique. However, he can learn more techniques.

"You know what, you've come at the right time. A few days ago, someone from a fallen family pawned several decent martial arts manuals. I've brought them over for you to take a look."

He brought three martial arts manuals: the Gale Blade Technique, the Unique Divine Fist, and the Ghost Step.

Xu Guang frowned after just flipping through the pages. The first two books required the use of internal energy, but the third book, Ghost Step, was not a light-footed skill in the ordinary sense. Instead, it relied on adjusting the muscles and bones in the body to constantly change speed and turn.

Just like its name suggests, the Ghostly Steps.

……

After leaving the Li family pawnshop, Xu Guang touched the wooden box on his person.

Now that we have the Black Bone Vine, we just need to lie low for a while and accumulate enough good karma to upgrade the Iron Body Technique to level 4, which is the Bone Realm level.

What he didn't expect was that martial arts techniques would be so expensive. He finally managed to buy the Ghost Step manual for eighty taels of silver. Luckily, he had cultivated two Chicken Blood Flowers when he used the Demon Transformation Powder last time, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to afford it.

Once I learn the Ghost Step and raise it to level 3 or 4, achieving the Bone Realm Body, and then combine it with the Dragon Taming Divine Power, I wonder if that will be enough to storm Lady Deer's manor.

He absolutely had to meet that Madam Lu.

After all, Bai Yue had said that Madam Lu had set up a manor outside the city to take in orphans, which could be considered as opening a charity, although the purpose was not to save people, but only to do business with the man-eating demons in the mountains.

But in the end, it can be considered that he did a good deed, and in the karma of this demon, he will probably receive a lot of good results.

……

The entire military corps went into a frenzy because of the clues about Lord Fushan; everyone wanted to find this notorious thief who had stolen from the treasury of the newly appointed military governor of Youzhou.

The officers, somehow getting wind of it, also got involved.

The two factions clashed several times over clues from each other.

The guards, relying on their superior strength, armor, and equipment, were generally able to subdue the officers.

However, it was visibly that the atmosphere between the two sides became serious.

When Xu Guang returned to the military camp, he encountered a group of messengers who were returning from visiting a household. Upon seeing Xu Guang's armor, the men couldn't help but snort and turn away.

Back at the military camp, they found a large crowd gathered on the drill ground, watching the spectacle.

I went inside and took a look. It was someone being punished, being reprimanded by Wang Gan, the head of the four capitals.

Yang Zhen, who was watching the commotion, saw Xu Guang, approached him, and whispered something.

"Sir, you're back. Today, the men from Zuo Liang in Sidu had a fight with the men from the Chunli Fang police station."

Xu Guang suddenly realized, "No wonder I said that on the way back, the officers were all rude to me."

"Then you've suffered an undeserved misfortune."

As they were talking, Du Changwei approached Xu Guang with a dark expression.

"How long has it been since you last saw Youniang?"

Did he suffer mistreatment at Du Youniang's place?

Xu Guang remained calm. "I made a water lily dish today, and I'll send it to You Niang tomorrow."

Du Changwei, who had been so aggressive, paused, unsure of what to say next.

She nodded sullenly. "Then go early tomorrow. She made a lot of shoes for you."

Xu Guang was speechless.

The Ghost Step martial art isn't particularly difficult to master; the key lies in the subtle control over muscles and bones, similar to micro-management in online games.

A good play is amazing, a bad play is just feeding kills.

Xu Guang practiced for more than an hour, and his calves felt like they were filled with lead, his muscles taut.

There aren't any special techniques; after practicing for a few days, it should appear on the panel.

Xu Guang wasn't in a hurry. He found some medicine to relieve his muscle soreness and went to sleep!
