I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Qiu Hongyun could only struggle to cope.

We lost the initiative.

In addition to losing an arm in a sneak attack, every strike from Xu Hao caused his blood and qi to surge.

Qiu Hongyun is now like a candle flickering in the wind.

boom.

With a single punch, Qiu Hongyun was sent flying backward, crashing heavily from the roof to the ground, creating a huge crater.

Even so, Qiu Hongyun was not completely dead.

But the tremors here have already brought light to the surrounding houses.

"It's time to end this!" Xu Hao leaped into the air, already gripping his long sword tightly once more.

puff.

Xu Hao used his sword-drawing technique.

Cut in two with one stroke.

You gain 5,000 experience points for killing a valuable creature.

Your level has increased, and you have gained free attribute points.

Xu Hao grinned.

Even if a fourth-level warrior has a fake mark, the experience points given are still extremely high.

Five thousand!

It instantly raised him six levels.

These are the six attribute points.

"So killing a master can yield such great rewards!" Xu Hao exclaimed in ecstasy.

Xu Hao took a deep breath, suppressing the agitation in his heart, and went directly to Qiu Hongyun's corpse from the Changsheng Sect, beginning to search it.

He didn't gain much from killing the Changsheng Sect members earlier because there were constables from the government office ahead of him.

But Qiu Hongyun was killed by him alone, so the spoils of war naturally belong to him alone.

Xu Hao took out a pair of gloves from his game backpack, put them on, and began to explore.

The reason for this is that the Longevity Cult is an evil sect, and its members may contain toxins or the like.

just in case.

"Huh?" The next second as Xu Hao was groping around, he was stunned when he felt the paper of the banknote.

He was immediately overjoyed.

Xu Hao quickly opened his robe and immediately saw a stack of silver notes.

"So many!"

Xu Hao picked it up and put it into his game backpack without thinking.

With just this one step, Xu Hao felt that the quantity might be in the hundreds, or even in the thousands.

It's out!

Xu Hao continued to explore.

There's nothing particularly special about it.

It seems that the Changsheng Sect, being newcomers and scouts, did not possess any other items.

Xu Hao glanced at Qiu Hongyun's corpse, pondered for a moment, then used his hand to brace it, and then a thought struck him.

The next instant, Qiu Hongyun's corpse appeared in his game inventory.

Xu Hao did this because he didn't want to reveal his ability to kill a fourth-level martial artist.

He will surely be rewarded if he delivers Qiu Hongyun's body to the authorities now.

However, this would put them in the spotlight and confront the Changsheng Cult head-on.

The Longevity Cult is a group of extremely narrow-minded and evil people who have done countless bad things.

He could ignore everything on his own, but he still had his mother, Xu Liushi.

Now, by hiding in the shadows, we can maximize our gains by killing them.

"With so much money to be made, the reward from the government is negligible!" Xu Hao glanced around, cleaned up the battlefield, and then quietly left, returning to his house in the eastern suburbs.

After a long while, a light began to flicker, and people slowly approached.

"Is this a battle between martial artists?" someone exclaimed in surprise.

There was a large crater at the scene, and some signs of a battle.

However, since there were only some bloodstains and no body, no one thought much of it.

They assumed that a powerful figure had passed by, fought, and then went their separate ways.

Xu Hao quietly returned to his room and then took out a stack of silver notes that he had just obtained.

"Fifty taels a sheet, and judging by its thickness, it must be worth two or three thousand taels!"

Xu Hao was overjoyed.

Then he carefully calculated it.

Just as he had guessed, three thousand taels!

Get rich!

Xu Hao couldn't stop smiling.

Now that he has broken through to the second level of cultivation, he consumes nearly ten taels of cultivation resources every day.

If one were to engage in cultivation without restraint, the energy expenditure would increase to an even higher level.

A significant portion of the previously acquired sum of a thousand taels has already been spent.

Xu Hao was worried about not having enough funds to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but unexpectedly, killing a fourth-level martial artist from the Longevity Sect directly maxed out his credit limit.

Next, just focus on cultivation.

He had never fought such a battle for wealth in his entire life!

Xu Hao put the silver notes away, then washed up again to get rid of the trace of blood on his body before slowly opening the attribute point panel.

Now I have gained six more attribute points.

After considering it for a moment, Xu Hao proceeded to enhance the blessing.

Strength +2, Stamina +2, Agility +2

boom.

As the points were added, streams of pure energy spread throughout the body.

The blessing lasted for a long time before it stopped.

Xu Hao immediately opened his personal attribute panel.

Strengthen in all aspects.

"With these attributes, I'm practically invincible in Qinghe County!" Xu Hao exclaimed.

A few months ago, he was nobody.

Now, he has risen to the top ranks in Qinghe County.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

After calming his inner turmoil, Xu Hao adjusted himself for a moment and then fell asleep.

The next day it was bright.

Xu Hao got up.

As he expected, everything proceeded as usual.

Although the battle last night was very loud, it did not cause much of a stir.

It didn't even attract the attention of the authorities.

After having breakfast and bidding farewell to his mother, Xu Liushi, Xu Hao went to the yamen to report for duty.

After confirming that there would be no major moves and that he only needed to keep an eye on the Changsheng Sect's activities, Xu Hao went straight to the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

"Senior Brother Tang, I would like to purchase some Three-Break Medicine Powder!" Xu Hao arrived at the Central Courtyard, found Tang Dengshan, and got straight to the point.

With money, one can naturally cultivate oneself to the fullest extent.

Now that the Eternal Life Sect is eyeing Qinghe County, he cannot slow down.

Only by reaching the fourth level of breakthrough as soon as possible, and with his upgrade attribute points, can he gain the greatest benefit when the Longevity Cult attacks.

"Hmm, how much do you want?" Tang Dengshan asked with a smile.

"Give me two hundred taels!" Xu Hao took out two hundred taels of silver notes and placed them in front of Tang Dengshan's desk.

"You've struck it rich?" Tang Dengshan looked surprised.

Two hundred taels is no small sum.

Moreover, he knew that Xu Hao did not come from a wealthy background, so it was definitely extraordinary that he could take out two hundred taels at once.

"I made a little money!" Xu Hao chuckled.

He knew that Tang Deng had a very good sense of boundaries and wouldn't pursue him too deeply.

"Wait a moment!" Just as Xu Hao had guessed, Tang Dengshan didn't press the matter further. Instead, he got up and walked to the counter behind him, taking out packets of medicinal powder. "I'm sorry, we're short on supplies right now; we only have thirty packets of powder left!"

"Then give me thirty packs!" Xu Hao said directly.
