After listening to Li Mingqi's account, Chen Yuan finally truly understood the situation in Ping'an County. It turned out that there were so many Ninggang experts who did not reveal themselves.

Cien Temple, Lin Family Village, Sanhe Boxing Gym...

Especially Cien Temple and Lin Family Village, their strength should not be underestimated!

He had previously wondered why the Huang family, the leading family in Ping'an County, was so easily destroyed. How could they be called the leading family?

Now he finally understood.

It was just blind praise from people who didn't know the truth.

Admittedly, the Huang family, with two Bone Refinement experts, was very strong, but without a Ninggang expert to protect them, they could still be destroyed. Only with a Ninggang expert could they truly compete within Ping'an County.

Of course, if the Huang family had not been destroyed, with the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl, they would have had a chance to produce a Ninggang expert, but there were no ifs...

"Telling you this is to make you understand that the strength of the county government is not as strong as you think, and... the Wusheng Cult bandits have been restless recently. The most important thing for you as a constable is to find the traces of those bandits."

Li Mingqi stared at Chen Yuan with a frown.

"This subordinate will do my best."

"In addition to these, the Beihai Gang in the north of the city will be handed over to you to deal with. Whether you destroy them or subdue them, this official wants two hundred taels of silver per month." Li Mingqi rotated the ring on his right hand.

Chen Yuan was a little shocked. Li Mingqi was blatantly soliciting bribes, not hiding it at all. He suddenly felt that perhaps this was the reason why Li Mingqi had asked to see him tonight.

Two hundred taels of silver!

This was not a small amount. It was his salary for more than ten years as a yamen runner, and this was just for one month.

A year would be two thousand four hundred taels.

You know, even the Huang family was said to have only found more than a thousand taels of cash.

Although Chen Yuan extorted twenty Tiger Bone Pills from Tie Qinghua, worth more than two hundred taels of silver, it was a one-time deal. Even if it was only one hundred taels, Tie Qinghua would not be able to give it to him every month.

Money was not so easy to earn, but since Li Mingqi had opened his mouth, Chen Yuan could not refuse, nor could he refuse!

He guessed that perhaps the officialdom was like this, with layers of exploitation. Most of the two hundred taels of silver a month probably had to be paid to the prefectural city. In fact, Chen Yuan was right, and the reality was so cruel.

Seeing that Chen Yuan seemed a little hesitant, Li Mingqi's face turned slightly cold, and he said:

"What's wrong? Is it difficult?"

Chen Yuan took a deep breath and quickly said:

"No, this subordinate will definitely do it."

Li Mingqi then showed a smile, stood up, patted Chen Yuan's shoulder, and said:

"That's right... Haha, go back first. From tomorrow, you will be the new constable of Ping'an County!"

"Yes, this subordinate takes his leave."

Chen Yuan nodded and turned to leave.

Looking at Chen Yuan's back, Li Mingqi's hand suddenly touched the teacup beside him.

"Bang!"

The cup shattered, and tea soaked the ground.

Chen Yuan suddenly turned his head, startled. Could there be swordsmen lying in ambush here, waiting for Li Mingqi to smash the cup as a signal? That shouldn't be...

Li Mingqi stared at Chen Yuan, then suddenly smiled:

"You haven't taken the Blood Nourishing Pill yet."

Chen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief:

"Thank you, sir."

Then, Chen Yuan stepped forward, put the porcelain bottle in his arms, turned around, pushed open the door, and left the room.

After Chen Yuan walked away, Li Mingqi withdrew his gaze and tapped the table with his fingers.

North of the city.

Chen Family Courtyard.

Chen Yuan placed the porcelain bottle containing the Blood Nourishing Pill on the table, squinted his eyes, and recalled what had happened before, speechless for a long time.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yuan stopped thinking about those trivial matters and turned his attention to the Blood Nourishing Pill on the table, a look of eagerness flashing in his eyes.

......

The next day.

In the early morning, a ray of sunlight shone through the window. Chen Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of light flashing through them. The golden paint on his body slowly faded into his flesh, and his originally fair skin began to turn bronze.

After cultivating for a night, Chen Yuan not only did not feel any fatigue, but was full of energy.

During the night, Chen Yuan swallowed and refined a total of four Blood Nourishing Pills. With the help of this medicinal power, he successfully completed the third Blood Refinement and could already begin the fourth Blood Refinement.

The strength of his body increased a lot again.

Originally, this kind of cultivation speed would not have been possible, because the human body has its limits and cannot keep cultivating. He had encountered this problem before when refining Tiger Bone Pills.

He could only refine one Tiger Bone Pill a day before feeling bloated.

But perhaps because of the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl, Chen Yuan could continuously refine for a night, and the quality of his cultivation was greatly enhanced. Previously, he could only absorb up to 70% of the medicinal power of a Tiger Bone Pill.

But now, he could feel that all 100% of the medicinal power of the Blood Nourishing Pill was working on his body. Only in this way could he complete a Blood Refinement with just four Blood Nourishing Pills.

If he had not undergone Marrow Cleansing, Chen Yuan would have needed at least six pills for this Blood Refinement.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan was even more eager to plunder luck again and obtain opportunities.

The first opportunity guide was the Vajra Glazed Body of Cien Temple, which allowed him to cultivate one of the top body refining techniques in the Jianghu. The second was the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Pearl of the Huang family, which greatly enhanced Chen Yuan's cultivation talent.

So what will the next opportunity be?

Chen Yuan was looking forward to it!

Unfortunately, he had traveled most of Ping'an County and had not found anyone else with luck.

Chen Yuan had once guessed that every living person should have more or less luck, but the Heavenly Eye Divine Ability completely ignored it.

Even killing more people did not make any difference.

Later, he realized that perhaps this 'luck' had other secrets that he did not know about.

Getting up from the bed, Chen Yuan fastened his yamen runner's clothes. He did not wear his long saber on his waist. His long saber had been destroyed in Wu Yushan's hands, and he originally needed to apply for a new one.

But now he didn't need to, because he had become a constable and would have new official robes and a saber.

Walking out of the small courtyard, Chen Yuan ate some breakfast at Zhou's Steamed Bun Shop as usual, and then hurried to the county government.

Although Wang Ping's residence was also in the north of the city, it was basically not on the way. Except for occasionally accompanying each other, most of the time Chen Yuan went alone.

Constable's Office.

As Chen Yuan walked in, a young yamen runner greeted him and cupped his fists:

"Constable Chen, your official robes and saber have been delivered to your room."

"Thank you for your trouble..."

Chen Yuan nodded slightly, his pace did not stop. All the yamen runners along the way greeted him one by one, afraid of being half a step slower than others.

The achievements of a book need to be measured by follow-up reading, monthly tickets, rewards, and chapter reviews.

It cannot be separated from the support of all the bosses.

I hope everyone can click on the latest chapters from time to time and comment. If there is nothing to say, you can also complain about the author's persistence...

In addition, please ask for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, rewards, etc.
