Soon, Zhang Xuan disappeared into the sea of fire under everyone's gaze.

Everyone present stared intently at this scene, most with longing.

This was the method of a martial arts expert!

Chen Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes inadvertently sweeping over the crowd, his expression shifting, as if pondering something.

Before long, Zhang Xuan emerged from the sea of fire.

A faint stream of air surrounded him, like a barrier isolating everything, blocking all the flames.

This scene was deeply imprinted in Chen Yuan's mind.

Although he had seen plenty of five-cent special effects in his previous life, the real thing appearing before his eyes was still shocking.

The legendary martial arts experts who could stop a river with a sword and shatter a mountain with a finger, Chen Yuan was now absolutely convinced could do it.

"Lord Zhang, how was it?"

Seeing Zhang Xuan emerge unscathed, Wu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked.

"There are three charred corpses inside, and a long spear."

Zhang Xuan's words were concise, but the meaning was self-evident.

Tie Xuan was dead.

He died within the Huang family!

In a matter of hours, the county government had suffered heavy losses. Experts like Huang Xing and Tie Xuan at the Bone Refinement level were either dead or imprisoned in the county jail.

Chen Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. As long as nothing could be traced back to him, that was good.

Wu Qingfeng was silent for a moment before continuing to ask:

"I wonder if Lord Zhang caught those thieves from the Unborn Church?"

The dead cannot be brought back to life, and there was no point in dwelling on it now.

Moreover, Tie Xuan was not indispensable. There were still experts at the Bone Refinement level in the county government, enough to support the county government's responsibilities in the short term.

"The Unborn Church thieves in Ping'an County are not that simple. This envoy will return to the prefectural city first. If Magistrate Wu discovers anything amiss in the future, you can come find me."

Zhang Xuan said this, turned around, and left with a few subordinates.

Watching Zhang Xuan and others leave, Wu Qingfeng frowned slightly and turned his gaze to the constables:

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and put out the fire!"

......

......

By the time Chen Yuan returned home, it was already Hai hour [9-11 PM]. The night was extremely dark. The Huang family's fire had been completely extinguished, and County Constable Li Mingqi had let the constables go home.

Chen Yuan could tell that Li Mingqi and Wu Qingfeng did not seem very happy.

This time, Li Mingqi's confidant Huang Xing was arrested, the Huang family was destroyed, and their reputation plummeted. It could be said that they had suffered heavy losses. After all, the people of Ping'an County knew the relationship between the Huang family and Li Mingqi.

But when the Huang family was destroyed, Li Mingqi did not say a word.

They did not know about the Huang family's collusion with the Unborn Church, and even if they did, they would think it was just a crime randomly arranged by the government.

As for Wu Qingfeng's gains, they were not satisfactory. There was very little gold and silver, and all the martial arts books were burned to ashes in a fire. His confidant Tie Xuan had died.

No one knew that the greatest beneficiary of the Huang family's destruction was a small constable like him.

Lighting a candle, Chen Yuan took out a wooden box from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Crack..."

The box opened, revealing a black pearl the size of an infant's fist inside.

Chen Yuan took the pearl out with two fingers and held it in front of his eyes.

In the candlelight, the pearl became even brighter.

It was jet black and exuded an unusual beauty.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Chen Yuan decided to consume the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Pearl now.

He did not want to work for others like the Huang family did.

Of course, the two sides had different ideas.

Chen Yuan guessed that the Huang family elder who obtained this treasure must have known its purpose. They did not want to waste it on themselves and wanted to leave it to talented descendants.

Family inheritance!

However, they would never have imagined that it would eventually benefit him.

Chen Yuan took off his clothes, revealing a strong and well-built body, extremely aesthetically pleasing, especially the faint golden skin, which was even more amazing. His chest heaved, showing the amazing qi and blood within Chen Yuan's body.

Stripped to the waist, Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground and put the Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Pearl into his mouth.

Strangely, it felt as hard as a stone when he held it, but after putting it in his mouth, Chen Yuan felt that the spiritual pearl seemed softer. It had no taste, just a cool and refreshing feeling.

The spiritual pearl followed his throat into his stomach, and the coolness slowly spread towards his limbs.

Chen Yuan emptied his mind, closed his eyes, and breathed slowly, silently feeling the coolness.

Chen Yuan guessed that this... might be the marrow cleansing!

An hour passed, and Chen Yuan's pores opened, with black impurities being excreted from his body. He twitched his nose, smelling a foul odor.

Chen Yuan did not get up. The coolness on his body was still constantly cleansing his marrow.

Gradually, more and more impurities were excreted, and the stench became stronger and stronger. All over his body, a piercing pain began to erupt.

Chen Yuan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and let the pain spread throughout his body.

The martial path was like this, extremely difficult.

The night passed without a word.

The next day, at dawn, the first ray of sunlight shone down.

Chen Yuan in the room suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of light passing through them.

His body seemed to be covered in a layer of black mud. Chen Yuan held his breath, walked into the courtyard, picked up a basin of clear water, and poured it down from the top of his head. The black mud flowed down his body to the ground.

"Hoo..."

Chen Yuan let out a long breath. There seemed to be no change on the surface of his body, just a little whiter, but Chen Yuan could feel his transformation as if he had been reborn.

It seemed like his whole body was much lighter.

Clenching his fist, Chen Yuan stepped forward and punched out violently.

A faint sound came from the air.

His body stretched, and cracking sounds kept coming from his body.

During the marrow cleansing process, Chen Yuan unconsciously completed the second Blood Refinement, and his strength increased a lot again. The Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Pearl was still emitting a very subtle coolness.

Imperceptibly cleansing Chen Yuan's aptitude.

This kind of treasure was definitely not ordinary!

This time, he made a big profit!

The value of this Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Pearl was definitely not worse than the Vajra Glazed Body, a body refinement divine skill, and might even be stronger!

After washing his whole body, Chen Yuan faced the rising sun, bent his legs, placed one palm on his chest, and emotionlessly activated the Vajra Glazed Body.

Spots of golden light filled his body. From a distance, he looked like a golden man.

If ordinary people with no knowledge saw this, they would definitely mistake him for an enlightened monk, of course, provided they shaved his head and put on a few monastic scars.

At the beginning of the first Blood Refinement, Chen Yuan felt a great difference. There was no previous stagnation, and he quickly entered the state, and the speed of Blood Refinement was also increasing.

The Marrow Cleansing Spiritual Pearl did not make Chen Yuan's strength skyrocket, but it changed his aptitude and strengthened his foundation!

In the past, Chen Yuan's aptitude was no different from that of the constables, belonging to the extremely ordinary type.

But now...
