What compensation can you offer?
"If you don't satisfy me, this matter won't end here."
Li Ming said with great interest.
When you feel sleepy, someone brings you a pillow.
The cost of practicing martial arts is much higher than that of ordinary people.
Wang Yuan first took his younger brother's money bag, and then took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket.
"This is a total of two hundred taels of silver, all my worldly possessions. I beg Lord Li to show mercy!"
Li Ming glanced at it and noticed the words "God of Wealth Pavilion" prominently displayed on the paper.
Li Ming accepted it with a smile and tucked it into his chest.
As a transcendent force, the God of Wealth Pavilion's silver notes are universally accepted in all the countries of the human realm, and no one dares to counterfeit them. They recognize the money, not the person, and there is nothing shameful about them.
"I...can...walk..."
"But... you think you can get away with this so easily?" Li Ming interrupted Wang Yuan, speaking coldly.
"Who are you trying to fool?"
“This…” Wang Yuan was a little troubled.
"I heard you suffered a setback in your body refinement? No wonder you didn't dare to fight desperately."
"I'm quite interested in your body-refining technique. Why don't you let me take a look?" Li Ming's voice was soft, but his tone was very firm.
Wang Yuan's eyes widened. He had failed in his body refinement and his qi and blood were out of balance. He hadn't even told his wife about this secret. How did Li Ming know?
He stole this body-refining technique from a down-on-his-luck man by chance. The man had fled from the Southern Cloud Kingdom and claimed it was a technique passed down from his ancestors. He eventually used it to pay off his gambling debts.
This document is quite comprehensive, and the annotations are also very detailed.
If it were outside, it would be hard to buy even for several thousand taels of silver.
He studied diligently, but his aptitude was insufficient, and he went mad at the last moment.
This... could it be that this was all for Li Ming's benefit?
"Hmm? You can't even bear to part with this?"
Seeing Wang Yuan cowering and seemingly lost in thought, Li Ming raised his eyebrows, slightly annoyed.
Wang Yuan shrank back, his initial resentment vanishing as if doused with a bucket of cold water.
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you!"
Wang Yuan felt as if his heart was bleeding, and he lowered his head as if he wanted to grind his teeth to dust.
He pulled a clean and neat parchment scroll from his pocket.
"You actually carry it on your person? Aren't you afraid of losing it someday?"
Li Ming didn't rush to take it, somewhat surprised that this guy actually carried such a precious item with him.
This surprised him somewhat.
Wang Yuan suppressed his hatred and carefully explained:
"This body-refining method came from the Kingdom of Nanyun. Buddhist temples are everywhere in the Kingdom of Nanyun. This body-refining method originated from the insights of a high monk. It is a Zen-inspired method that calms the mind. Every time one observes it, one can feel the profound meaning of Buddhism and all distracting thoughts will disappear."
"Furthermore, I have committed many bad deeds in my life. If I do not chant the Buddha's name every day, I am afraid I will not be able to be reborn as a human in my next life."
Do you really think that you can become a Buddha the moment you lay down your butcher's knife?
Li Ming shook his head helplessly, picked up the scabbard, and used it to pick up the parchment scroll.
Running my fingers over it, I could tell the material was unusual; it was no ordinary object.
It seems to be a good technique indeed.
Seeing such careful movements, Wang Yuan had no choice but to smile wryly:
"Lord Li is bold and meticulous, I admire you. I think the Zhao family will suffer because of you sooner or later."
"I've given you the things, can I go now?"
Li Ming, with a half-smile, gradually approached Wang Yuan.
"I'm a person who clearly distinguishes between right and wrong, so of course you've settled this score, but..."
Snap!
Li Ming's eyes were as cold as ice. He gripped Wang Yuan's right arm and suddenly exerted force, causing his robes to rattle.
A palm strike landed like an arrow released from a bow, striking Wang Yuan in the chest.
The powerful force was like a cannonball, sending the person flying through the air and smashing a row of tables and chairs.
puff!
Wang Yuan fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and roared:
"Li Ming, you are untrustworthy, despicable and shameless!"
Li Ming chuckled, looked down at Wang Yuan who was clutching his chest, and said:
"I am a man who seeks revenge for wrongs, but I take revenge one revenge at a time."
"That was only enough to avenge you for disturbing me."
"This kick is to avenge the humiliation you once inflicted on me."
He raised his blue boots and stomped down hard!
Click!
A clear sound of bones breaking.
"You... the Zhao family will not let you get away with this!"
Wang Yuan's face was contorted with rage, his features twisting in pain.
His right arm was bent straight down, the white bone piercing through the flesh, a truly horrifying sight.
"Don't worry, I don't know how the Zhao family will deal with me. At worst, I'll just hide in the Six Doors and not come out."
Li Ming spoke calmly, looking at the desolate Wang Yuan, the hall master, and said indifferently:
"I just wonder what your owner will do with you now that you're no longer a useful vicious dog?"
"Perhaps seeing how miserable you are, your owner will take pity on you."
Li Ming showed no mercy in dealing with these people. They may have been forced into their positions, but when they were forced into their positions, did they ever think about the people they had oppressed?
If Li Ming hadn't been strong enough today, he might have been the one crippled and wailing in pain, and perhaps no one would have stood up for him, leaving him to eke out a living alone in a corner.
That's just how the world is. In this extraordinary world, Li Ming originally thought that the people here were physically strong and that longevity was the norm.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that many illnesses had accumulated over time, leading to broken families and even death...
Wang Yuan stared intently at the smiling Li Ming, and said resentfully:
"You've cut off my path in martial arts; what a cruel heart you have."
"Fine, I'd like to see just how you plan to fight the Zhao family!"
"As long as you remain in Qing Shi City, the Zhao family will always come after you!"
Li Ming tilted his head, ignoring everything, and as he walked down the second floor, he seemed to remember something.
"Oh, by the way, keep an eye on the compensation at the restaurant."
Having said that, he ignored the group of trembling waiters hiding in the corner and walked straight out of the restaurant.
[Wang Yuan, the deposed king, has gained 300 Life Energy.]
The reason for not killing Wang Yuan to seize the entry was twofold: firstly, killing him in public would inevitably give the Zhao family an excuse to do so.
Secondly, there were no useful entries on Wang Yuan's person, which were of little help to him.
Thirdly, he would repay them in kind. Wang Yuan brought people to cripple him, so he would let them taste what it was like to be crippled.
As for retaliation?
He then said... If one keeps tolerating and compromising, it will only bring more humiliation.
If it were the original owner of this body, he might have tolerated it. After all, he was just an ordinary constable, and no one would pay attention to him or care about him. How could he expect the experts of the Six Doors to stand up for him?
It's impossible, after all, a large part of the people in the Six Doors are local family members, and they are naturally aligned with the Zhao family. Li Ming is an outsider, so he will naturally be ostracized.
However... now that he has begun to show his talent and is valued by Lin Qiancheng, even the Zhao family cannot openly deal with him.
Back inside.
Li Ming thought it over and over.
Is this the power of the "Encountering Misfortune" stat?
He inexplicably offended Zhao Youwei, and the Zhao family immediately began to arrange for people to deal with him.
He didn't even go looking for trouble, but trouble came to him on its own.
"Fortunately, we also gained a lot, so the fight wasn't in vain."
Li Ming made a rough count.
Two hundred taels of silver, a body-refining technique, and... 400 life energy.
As his strength increased, he gained almost nothing from dealing with these small fry; the real gains came from crippling Wang Yuan.
well.
If only there were more troubles like Master Wang's.
I sat on the bed and unfolded the parchment scroll.
The front is covered with dense text, while the back features a picture of fortune.
Li Ming first glanced at the text on the front, then closed his eyes and silently recited it, trying to memorize it quickly.
Fortunately, his "intelligent" attribute was well-deserved, and he quickly memorized it.
The picture on the back is easy to remember after just a few glances.
Then, looking at the parchment in his hand, he gained a lot of insight.
This technique is called "Diamond Body". This body-refining method requires at least a Qi Refining Realm martial artist to practice, and can be cultivated to the Condensation Realm.
Combining inner and outer qualities, one remains as one.
If one can cultivate to perfection in the Condensation Realm, one can unleash the physical power of a Grandmaster.
It is indeed a decent low-grade body-refining martial art. Body-refining methods are generally quite rare, and Buddhist body-refining techniques are among the most powerful. No wonder Wang Yuan was so distressed, as if he had cut off a piece of his own flesh.
But this just happened to benefit him.
With his Silver Bones, cultivating this body-refining method was like adding wings to a tiger.
However, we'll put "The Vajra Body" aside for now.
Cultivation is fundamental. He has now reached the perfection of body tempering, and the key is to step into the Qi Refining Realm as soon as possible.
Looking at the Qi cultivation chapter of Yi Mu Zhen Gong, which is less than a thousand words long, every word is precious and profound.
Fortunately, the booklet contained a lot of annotations, explaining many professional terms and offering many suggestions. Without these annotations, an ordinary person would probably suffer a qi deviation on the spot during cultivation.
Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Ming only snapped out of his reverie when a wave of hunger washed over him.
"I have a general understanding of it, and I feel that entering the Qi Refining stage is not difficult."
Li Ming held the seed of Yi Wood in his hand, muttering to himself.
The "True Skill of Wood" seems to be a perfect match for my Green Wood Body.
When you cultivate yourself, it will be more suitable and you will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
I don't know if my master saw through my special constitution or if it was just fate.
However, Li Ming was too lazy to think about it too much, but was concerned about whether the Zhao family would send someone else.
After all, he has caused quite a stir this time. Everyone in Qing Shi City knows that the Snow Tiger Gang is a dog raised by the Zhao family, and their gang leader is a master of the Condensing Qi Realm.
With Li Ming's limited skills, he probably wouldn't last more than a few moves.
It's no wonder Li Ming is overthinking things. The world is a dangerous place, and his identity as a member of the Six Doors can only help him temporarily, not forever.
"But I have to find a way to get rid of this resentment in my heart."
Li Ming muttered to himself.
