Li Qinglin smeared ointment on his hands, stimulated the blood and then ironed Li Xianshi's eyes. After relieving the eye disease, he went to the Taoist temple.

"Brother Li!"

"Brother Li!"

"Good afternoon, Senior Brother Li!"

As soon as he entered the martial arts hall, the martial arts masters, coaches, and even martial arts students he met on the way stopped, made way on both sides, and greeted Li Qinglin.

Not far away, the warriors who were training their Qi and blood and competing in the martial arts training ground also stopped their movements and looked at Li Qinglin with curiosity, longing, and jealousy...

Li Qinglin couldn't call out the names of these people, so he could only nod and chuckle.

By the time he crossed the hall, the smile on his face froze and he twisted his neck, making a crackling sound.

I’m so tired…

Li Qinglin let out a long sigh.

As I walked into the house, a wave of heat suddenly hit me.

Different from the hall outside which is open to the public, this room is an exclusive training room for the inner disciples of Wulao Qingxinzhai and above.

The quality of the martial arts training equipment and weapons there far exceeds that of the hall.

Ten-forged weapons were placed horizontally on the weapon rack, and a special doctor was waiting behind a curtain in the room, responsible for massage, acupuncture, medicinal baths, etc.

Among them, there are many martial artists who have reached the marrow refining realm.

"Junior brother, here I come."

Pei Zhang was holding a spear and was maintaining it. When he saw Li Qinglin, he smiled and walked over.

"The third brother Hua Mu just asked me to tell you that due to the recent shortage of various mineral materials in the city, your beheading knife will have to be recast a few days later.

But don't worry, your Third Senior Brother is very wealthy and has a lot of inventory, so he won't delay you."

Shortage of ore materials?

Li Qinglin's heart moved, and he said, "Well, I understand, Senior Brother."

“Right.”

Pei Zhang suddenly spoke up with a complicated expression, "Master said that if you come, you should go to his meditation room."

Li Qinglin nodded without thinking too much about it.

After all, it is normal for a master to meet his disciples, teach them martial arts, and give them guidance.

He followed the instructions, walked through the corridor, came to a quiet and quaint room, and pushed open the door.

Watching Li Qinglin gradually disappear behind the door of the quiet room, Pei Zhang opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

"Big Brother, how long do you think our little brother can hold on?"

A mountain of flesh rolled over, the ground shook slightly, and Xiao Changyi appeared beside Pei Zhang.

Pei Zhang shook his head and said:

"Junior brother was able to kill Wu Houjing, and Master seemed to be particularly concerned about him, so he should be able to... hold on for quite a while."

Xiao Changyi's face was full of wrinkles, and his expression could not be seen. He just spoke in a somewhat bleak tone,

"Our junior fellow apprentice was born in a humble family and was originally a tenant farmer. He has an old mother, brothers and sisters at home. If he had an accident..."

Pei Zhang retracted his gaze and said seriously, "Since he called me Senior Brother, his family is my family. If anything happens to him, I will definitely support his family!"

…

“You’re here.”

In the quaint quiet room, Wen Shoufei was dressed in white, sitting cross-legged on a cushion.

A banner with the word "Wu" written on it is hung on the wall.

Wen Shoufei lowered his head. From Li Qinglin's angle, he could just see the word "Wu" growing out from the top of Wen Shoufei's head like a dragon dancing in the wind.

"Hello, Master." Li Qinglin bowed.

"Hit me."

Sudden,

Wen Shoufei spoke.

"Hmm?" Li Qinglin looked up, somewhat puzzled.

"I said..."

Wen Shoufei slowly raised his head, his face expressionless, his eyes like a puppet, without any trace of spirit.

"Hit me!"

Boom!

The futon exploded and turned into grass debris all over the sky, and the wisps of incense seemed to be cut by a knife, suddenly breaking off in the air.

The leaping flame on the copper oil lamp holder was suddenly suppressed and finally went out with a puff.

Li Qinglin's vision suddenly dimmed, and he felt extremely alert.

Qi collides and strength flows.

Li Qinglin only felt that the Quchi point on his right hand had a burning sensation as if it was locked by an arrow.

In a hurry, Li Qinglin only had time to shake his wrist, and his fingers formed into a bird's beak, grabbing his arm in anticipation.

Click, click!

First there was a sharp sound of bones bending, and Li Qinglin was horrified to realize that from under his palm, from Wen Shoufei's fingers, came a powerful force that made him terrified!

For the first time in his life, his strength, which was as strong as a bull, was completely defeated in a head-on confrontation. Even Wen Shoufei couldn't match him with a finger! Bang! With a sharp pain in his arm, Li Qinglin took several steps back, leaving a series of clear footprints on the spot, almost retreating to the wall, and only then was he able to dissipate the momentum.

But that’s all.

Li Qinglin's skin, flesh and blood had almost no injuries, only his bones seemed to be cracked. However, with the nourishment of qi and blood, the pain was quickly dissipating.

Realizing this, Wen Shoufei's eyes suddenly lit up, somewhat dazzling and scary.

"Keep going, keep going!"

Li Qinglin cursed inwardly and stood up.

The energy and blood in his body circulated rapidly along the trajectory of the Xuanyu Qinlong Sutra. Li Qinglin's whole body became bigger, and his muscles stretched like bowstrings, and the air on his body surface became a little hotter.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The floor of the quiet room was instantly hit as if by a cannonball, and gravel flew everywhere with a whistling sound.

The wooden frame and copper incense burner were smashed, but the remaining debris was still embedded deeply in the wall.

The hurricane and smoke dissipated, and Li Qinglin half-knelt on the ground, his breathing as rapid as pulling a bellows, his face flushed, and the blood in his throat churning. Finally, he couldn't help it and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

The heart toad was beating wildly, and the blood and energy without any sign of decadence flowed through Li Qinglin's limbs and bones.

After a few breaths, Li Qinglin's disordered breathing calmed down, and even the tingling sensation from the joints and acupoints on his body gradually disappeared.

Seeing this, Wen Shoufei was very satisfied and laughed wildly, "Great, great! As expected of the Heart Palace, the head of the five internal organs, it is simply a human-shaped Heart Yuandan, which can quickly recover from any serious injury!"

"Hurry up and practice to become stronger. You are too weak now. Once your five internal organs are fully rounded, you will be able to perfectly practice my Five Elders Pure Heart Inscription! I can't wait..."

The laughter with a hint of madness gradually faded away.

Wen Shoufei disappeared silently in the quiet room.

Outside the door, the eldest senior brother Pei Zhang and the second senior brother Xiao Changyi walked in quickly.

Xiao Changyi took out the healing pill and asked Li Qinglin to take it.

He looked at the quiet room that was almost flattened and in a mess, raised his eyebrows, and was a little surprised.

It seems that his junior brother can persist longer than he thought.

But, it also brings us closer to the abyss.

Pei Zhang helped Li Qinglin up and said softly,

"Don't worry too much. Apart from this incident, Master is quite normal at other times."

Li Qinglin almost vomited a mouthful of blood when he heard this.

You call this normal?

He became obsessed with martial arts. In order to make up for the flaws of the Five Elders' Qingxin Ming of the Middle-level Martial Arts and improve the outline, he regarded his disciples as experimental subjects? The direct disciples are the best and most preferred experimental subjects?! No wonder no one offended or provoked him after he became a direct disciple. He must have known the inside story and knew that while direct teaching brings huge benefits, it also comes with the risk of a short life.

"Do you think I'm black?"

Pei Zhang suddenly pointed at himself and said.

Li Qinglin looked at Pei Zhang's skin, which was as dark as charcoal and slightly abnormal, and vaguely understood something.

"I have a special body. I was born with a pair of iron kidneys, strong energy, and strong tendons. Ordinary poisons have no effect on me.

So, in order to confirm the stimulating and strengthening effect of the Five Elders' Pure Heart Inscription on the kidneys, Master used me as a poison furnace and injected and refined various highly toxic substances."

Pei Zhang pointed at Xiao Changyi again, "His digestive power is very strong, he can even melt sand, stone and metal. So, Master put a Gu worm in him, so he has to eat a lot of nutrients all the time. If he stops, the Gu worm will eat him."

"Your third senior brother Hua Mu was born with a sword bone and was strong enough to throw an elephant. Our master took out his bones and marrow. Hua Mu is already over 30 years old, but he still looks like a child. If you lift up his clothes, you will find that his ribs are growing out of control and there is even cartilage in his stomach!"

Li Qinglin was silent for a long time, then asked, "Is it worth it?"

Pei Zhang was quite open-minded. He patted Li Qinglin on the shoulder and said,

"This is the price of pursuing martial arts without a master. Isn't my Wulao Qingxinzhai powerful? We control a large number of shops, house deeds, and various livelihoods in the outer city. Tens of thousands of people rely on us, but all of this depends on our master.

He couldn't stop, nor did he dare to stop. As his disciples, we can only be his... sacrifices."

Pei Zhang and the other man left one after another.

Not far away, the sounds of fists and kicks could be heard from the martial arts hall.

Li Qinglin walked out of the quiet room step by step, turned around, and saw the "Wu" banner fallen on the ground.

His eyes were slightly cold.

That old fellow doesn't have the ability to perfect his skills on his own, so he should just take a good rest!

Dragging a broken body and carrying the great cause, where can he go in the end? ! The courtyard was deserted, and Li Qinglin's footsteps could be clearly heard along the corridor.

When the curtain was opened, the noisy sounds in the hall burst into Li Qinglin's ears.

There are things that you cannot accomplish, and you will have to pay a huge price...

But for me, it just takes time.

…

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

A few days later, Li Qinglin secretly warned the peddlers and merchants surrounding Li Qingqing, and then found a new academy and sealed Li Qingqing in it.

Instead, Deng Dong approached Li Qinglin and invited him to go out of the city again to explore the water willows.

However, there have been rumors in the city recently that someone really found the chance to become an immortal, caught a fairy's treasure by catching a knife in the fire.

Storage bags, elixirs, broken magic tools...

Suddenly, Deng Dong could no longer sit still, but the wilderness was dangerous, so he took a fancy to Li Qinglin's strength and hoped that he would go with him to seek immortality.

Li Qinglin naturally refused decisively. Out of consideration, he also advised Deng Dong to be cautious, wait and see, and not be blinded by greed.

Deng Dong sighed and said only one sentence, "I'm almost forty years old. If I don't refine my marrow, my hope will be slim." Then he left with a sword in his hand.

Li Qinglin felt deeply moved and chose to respect the fate of others, but he silently became more determined to stay in the city and not leave.

This day.

Li Qinglin went to the Ministry of Justice to report for duty.

This was the first time for him, the flag-bearing judge, to come to the Judicial Department in earnest since he took office for many days.

The main thing is that the position of Chief Justice is one that is guaranteed to bring in a stable income. If there is work, you do it. If there is no work, you just have to live on your own.

Li Qinglin was recommended by Hou Huanhua, so naturally no one would make things difficult for him.

After crossing the gate, Li Qinglin saw a lot of people gathered outside the barracks where new criminals were selected.

Li Qinglin heard from passers-by that the training ground behind the barracks had been destroyed and plowed flat for some unknown reason, and the military officer who was being assessed was also ill and was recuperating at home.

Until yesterday, the martial arts arena was just renovated, and the military officer's illness happened to be cured, so the assessment was restarted.

When Li Qinglin walked into the criminal court, he saw many judges gathered together discussing the case at hand.

"Brother Bai, thank you for what you did last time."

Li Qinglin walked up to someone and knocked on the table.

This judge named Bai was one of the judges who went to the restaurant to capture the old captain that day.

He was fair and handsome. If he hadn't been wearing a round-necked robe and carrying a sword, one would have thought he was a young man from a wealthy family.

"Lord Li, you are too polite. Li Zhongran was never investigated and is a piece of shit. I have to thank Lord Li for giving me a good job. I can fool around for a few more months! Don't call me Brother Bai. Just call me Old Bai and give me face!"

Lao Bai stood up, smiled and moved a seat with Li Qinglin, and said,

"When a magpie called at my door early this morning, I knew something happy was going to happen. Sure enough, Lord Li is here!"

Li Qinglin laughed and shook his head. This Old Bai was really a smooth talker. But that was okay. It was easier to talk to him.

The two chatted for a while and discussed the case that the Ministry of Justice was currently following.

Of course, most of the time it was Li Qinglin who listened.

There is also some important information among them.

For example, the number and difficulty of cases to be completed each year vary depending on the position, such as small flag, flag bearer, general flag, etc.

The flag bearer needs to complete two cases of bronze level or above every year, otherwise he is in danger of being impeached.

After all, the imperial grain is not that delicious. If you enjoy the people's hard-earned money, you naturally have to pay something for it.

Cases in the Ministry of Justice are generally divided into four levels according to gold, silver, copper and iron. Copper-level cases usually involve warriors at the Bone-penetrating Realm.

Most of the silver level warriors have refined their marrow to the point where their five internal organs are in perfect harmony.

Gold level. The Ministry of Justice has not seen cases of this level in many years, because they all involve masters of spiritual cultivation.

“It’s still early in the day when I have to complete the case, so there’s no rush. It’s okay to wait until the last few days to finish it.

Hou Huanhua hasn't shown up for such a long time, and she said she was taking me to kill someone... I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Li Qinglin thought silently, and then told the original intention of his visit to the Ministry of Justice.

"Oh? A quiet room for practicing martial arts? Of course there is one. Just go to the corridor in front of the prison and inform the old guard at the gate.

Oh, the incense and candles for calming the mind, the chimes for enlightenment, the rejuvenation pills for preventing blood disorders, don’t forget to apply for these things, they are public property anyway, it would be a waste if you don’t take them…”

Li Qinglin stood up, bowed, and left the criminal hall.

"Hey, Old White, that's the new flag bearer who came a few days ago? So young?"

"I heard that he was recommended by Hou Baihu and became the flag bearer once he passed the assessment. Is he really that amazing?"

"It's strange. As soon as he became a judge, the barracks stopped the assessment and began renovations. I asked those military officers, but they kept silent. They looked like they would beat me up if I asked more questions."

Seeing that Li Qinglin's figure had completely disappeared in the department, many people from the Criminal Department gathered around Lao Bai.

Lao Bai said indifferently, "If you want to get information or test others, go by yourself and don't bother me!"

"I still have 30 years before I retire, so don't let anything go wrong!"

When some of them heard this, their expressions changed and their eyes shifted. It was unknown what they were thinking of.

…

The sound of the chime is light, clear and melodious, like the sound of mountain spring hitting rocks, or the first rays of the morning sun.

Li Qinglin sat cross-legged in the quiet room and swallowed the Huangya Pill in his hand.

【Name: Li Qinglin】

【Lifespan: 16/66】

[Realm: Locking Essence Level 2, Strengthening Flesh (Extreme, Flesh and Blood Grinding Like Ground)]

He made rapid progress in the Zhuangrou Realm, and had reached his limit a few days ago, on the verge of a breakthrough.

In his heart, he had some degree of distrust towards Wen Shoufei, so he naturally chose to come to the Ministry of Justice to break through.

The incense and candles burned slowly, and as soon as the Huangya Pill entered the stomach, the medicinal effect turned into a light veil like smoke and merged into Li Qinglin's body along with the qi and blood.

The heart toad was beating, and the surging mercury blood was surging in the blood vessels, but according to the method recorded in the Xuanyu Qinlong Sutra, it was gradually gathered by Li Qinglin and absorbed into the depths of his flesh and blood...

Touching bones.

In a blink of an eye, the rich blood began to boil, and Li Qinglin's body was covered with a thin mist, faintly reflecting a crimson light.

Li Qinglin, who had lost a lot of water, had his skin and flesh suddenly shrunken.

He sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed, and even used his supernatural power to see without seeing, and began to observe the direction of his energy and blood.

Immediately, the human body turned into a ball of fire, flickering according to the body structure, with countless fire snakes wandering around in it.

At this time, under Li Qinglin's control, these fire snakes squeezed inwards crazily! Boom! With a silent loud noise, the ground collapsed, and Li Qinglin became much heavier.

He only felt a tingling pain in his bones, followed by a sour feeling, as if someone was holding a thin needle and inserting it back and forth between his bones.

It was like pins and needles piercing through the bones! Li Qinglin stood up with a bang, and in one step he was several feet away. There was a visible aura of blood and qi wrapped around his body. He pushed with both palms, and the chest of the iron puppet in the quiet room collapsed.

Bang! Bang! Bang! There was a series of rapid fist whistling sounds. Li Qinglin's eyes became brighter and brighter. His fists, elbows, shoulders and back turned into sharp blades at this moment, and with great strength, he vented his energy on the iron puppet.

Huh! After a moment, Li Qinglin slowly withdrew his hand. The iron puppet was already in tatters, with countless holes and holes piercing through it. It seemed that if the wind blew, it would completely collapse.

On the other hand, Li Qinglin's hands were as white as usual, without any injuries at all.

Only when a warrior reaches this level, can he put all his strength into punching and kicking without worrying about the recoil.

For Li Qinglin, who has honed his skin-tightening and muscle-strengthening abilities to the limit, the increase in strength brought about by a breakthrough to the bone-penetrating realm is even more unimaginable!

As long as the Jade Yuan Toad continues to feed back mercury blood, he can even polish and refine the bones in his body to be comparable to weapons forged a hundred times or even a thousand times!

"only……"

Li Qinglin was thinking about his next practice.

Bone penetration is the process of transforming qi and blood into dense and fine needles, which are inserted into bone joints and spaces, greatly enhancing the texture and density of bones.

This process is extremely time-consuming and exhausting.

Not only does it consume energy and blood, but it also requires full concentration and not to be distracted for even a moment during the practice.

Therefore, to reach this level, even the direct descendants of the big families in the inner city would need to spend several years to polish all the bones in their body.

Only Li Qinglin can use the magical power - blindness and heart toad mercury blood, to work together to quickly reach the limit of this state.

Thinking of this, Li Qinglin felt a little confused.

That……

How did Wang Changsheng embark on the path of cultivating immortals?
