Chapter 49 Mid-grade cultivation technique, Blood Pool

suddenly!

A series of urgent knocks broke the silence.

"Sister, open the door!"

It's Qiu Tong!

"Wow!"

Li Yuan immediately put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and went to open the door.

...

"Brother, why are you so late? Did something happen?"

As soon as the two entered the main room, He Qiushi came out.

"Get me something to eat... First, brew a pot of tea with the tea leaves I brought last time!"

"Okay, I'll go right away."

He Qiu immediately went to the kitchen.

Qiu Tong plopped down on the seat. "Brother Yuan, this tea is quite good, you should try some!"

"Then I'll benefit from it."

Li Yuan smiled.

"Ugh, I've been at the yamen since yesterday, and I'm starving and thirsty!"

"My head is feeling a little dizzy."

Qiu Tong poured out his grievances, "I still miss the old days."

"What's the situation in the outer city now?"

Li Yuan asked.

"Completely in the dark!"

Qiu Tong shrugged. "I was originally thinking of helping you find out about your father, but that's not an option for now."

"And Huang Si's prediction really came true."

Li Yuan thought to himself, while at the same time becoming increasingly interested in the forces behind Huang Si.

"I'm sorry!"

"Not at all, I'm only troubling Brother Qiu."

Li Yuan said.

"Here, have some tea first. We also have some pastries at home, brother, have a bite to tide you over!"

At this moment, Madam He Qiu came over carrying a pot of tea and a plate of pastries.

After putting it down, she hurriedly returned to the kitchen.

"Come here, Brother Qiu."

Li Yuan placed the tea he had poured in front of him.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, I'm really hungry."

After saying that, Qiu Tong ate the pastries one after another while drinking the scalding hot tea. In the blink of an eye, the whole plate of pastries was gone.

"call--"

"I feel better now."

The teacup was empty, so Li Yuan refilled it.

Thank you!

Qiu Tong tapped the table, then continued, "Brother Yuan, do you remember when I told you about becoming a constable?"

"I remember!" Li Yuan nodded.

"Many constables died in this battle, so the yamen is preparing to recruit a new batch. However, you don't need to go to the battlefield this time, so you can rest assured about that."

"My job is to patrol the Baoshan River every day."

"It's much safer than before."

Li Yuan saved him twice, so naturally he wouldn't betray him. "Besides, being a constable is very beneficial to martial arts."

Are there any benefits to martial arts?

Li Yuan, who had initially intended to refuse, suddenly became interested and immediately asked, "Brother Qiu, please explain in detail."

"hey-hey...."

Qiu Tong grinned. "I knew you'd be interested."

He joked, but instead of saying it directly, he asked, "Are you a ninth-rank or an eighth-rank official?"

As for the higher seventh rank?

He didn't ask, because in his heart it was simply impossible.

"An eighth-rank official? That's more like a pipe dream."

"Martial arts training is too difficult."

Li Yuan shook his head and sighed.

In these chaotic times, it's best to keep a low profile.

"Then you can stop dreaming," Qiu said meaningfully.

Li Yuan also feigned confusion.

He wants to keep people in suspense, so he naturally needs to provide plenty of emotional value.

Have you ever heard of a blood pool?

Blood Pool!

Upon hearing these two words, Li Yuan suddenly remembered that Hai Fu had once said that the reason why the county magistrate was so powerful was because of this blood pool.

"I don't know!" He shook his head.

"I don't know exactly what the Blood Pool is, but it is extremely beneficial to martial arts cultivation."

He understands this deeply.

"Brother, although I'm not a martial artist, I've already completed half of my flesh refining, all because I've been cultivating next to the blood pool."

The head constable has one opportunity each year to cultivate by the blood pool for half an hour each time.

This is also the biggest perk of being a constable.

"This time, the county magistrate has spoken, and we can enter the blood pool to cultivate. The effect will be even better than before."

At this point, Qiu Tong became excited. A martial artist... it was something he had dreamed of for a long time. If it weren't for the Blood Pool, he would never have had any hope in his life.

"That's...that's one issue!"

Having calmed down a bit, Qiu Tong continued, "I presume Brother Yuan's cultivation technique is of low grade?"

"right!"

Li Yuan nodded and replied, "It's a very ordinary technique, passed down in my family."

Qiu Tong was, after all, a constable, so it's not surprising that he knew these things.

"Low-grade cultivation techniques can only be cultivated to the seventh grade at most. Although the seventh grade is an unattainable realm for you and me, what if?"

"And this time, the county magistrate has brought out a mid-grade cultivation technique!"

Mid-grade cultivation technique!

Li Yuan's expression changed immediately when he heard those four words.

This time it's for real, not pretending!

Seeing his reaction, Qiu Tong nodded in agreement. That's more like it!

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, brother, I suggest you don't hesitate."

Li Yuan was tempted.

It's very difficult to comprehend the art of health cultivation. He wanted to see if it would be helpful if he could understand a mid-level cultivation technique.

Furthermore, if one truly cannot comprehend it, practicing it first is also an option.

It can be considered as preparing for both possibilities.

So today, he subtly inquired with Huang Si about whether he could get his hands on it.

But the answer was no.

Low-grade cultivation techniques exist, but mid-grade ones are controlled by the three major families and the county magistrate, and cannot be leaked out.

"I never expected the county magistrate to actually bring out a mid-grade cultivation technique this time!"

"But it's definitely not that easy to get."

"We still don't know if it's just empty promises!"

So Li Yuan asked, "What are the conditions for obtaining a mid-grade cultivation technique?"

"They haven't said anything specific yet!"

"It's estimated that the announcement will be made after this batch of constables has been recruited."

"You don't know, even the disgruntled collateral disciples of the three major families are tempted this time."

"So you must seize the opportunity."

This is why he came here immediately after leaving the government office; it's also a way of thanking him for saving his life.

"You can rest assured that the magistrate always keeps his word."

Qiu Tong seemed to sense his worry and added another sentence.

"Becoming a constable must be quite difficult, right?"

Li Yuan asked.

Even the disciples of the three major families participated, so it must have been quite an achievement.

"rest assured!"

Qiu Tong patted his chest, "With your brother Qiu here, it's not a problem."

He was able to become a constable because of this connection.

Li Yuan is a ninth-rank martial artist, and he's definitely not weak. You can tell just by looking at that strike that day. With a little more effort, it'll be a sure thing.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Qiu."

Li Yuan stood up and thanked him.

Qiu Tong immediately stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "We're brothers, no need for this, sit down and talk!"

"What are you doing?"

At this moment, He Qiushi came out carrying dishes and noodles.

"It's alright. Let's discuss having Brother Yuan become a constable in the yamen, so he can eat the government's food in the future."

"Okay then."

He Qiu immediately said excitedly, "A Yuan, you must seize this opportunity. Look at my brother, he spent all the family's money just to become a constable."

"Isn't it great now!"

"Especially during this period, I've made a lot of money."

"Cough cough..."

Qiu Tong blushed. How could he say such a thing to someone's face?
