In the Changshan ancestral house, Sun Yuanshan touched his beard after listening to their reports. He asked, “Huai’er, do you have any opinions?”

Qin Huai was slightly taken aback. “Amassing troops to build armor, quaking the inside and pacifying the outside, winning over the hearts of the people… The city lord is indeed plotting something big.”

“Kid, your eyes don’t look like they’re from a small town. You’re quite far-sighted.” Sun Yuanshan smiled and suddenly became interested again. He wanted to test Qin Huai.

“Have you ever wondered why the eight major martial arts centers, no, the powerful martial arts centers in the city are not suppressing the bandits?”

“I think I know.” Qin Huai hesitated for a moment. “The majority of the dojos’ income is from mining, smelting, prostitution, and apothecaries… However, there is still a large portion that acts as escorts for the city’s big and small, protecting people out of the city, moving people, and so on. The reason why the latter is profitable is that there are bandits. The more rampant the bandits are, the more we earn.”

Qin Huai had already guessed this when Senior Brother Fang had first told him about the dojo’s profits.

Sun Yuanshan nodded. “Not entirely. For example, the Thunderbolt Dojo, Crane Dojo, Tyrant Fist Dojo, and Liuhe Dojo, which rely on apothecaries for business, are still okay. The mines and apothecaries are enough to sustain our expenses and even have a surplus.

“However, the remaining three families who are involved in the seduction of women are completely in cahoots with the mountain bandits. The survival of the small and medium-sized dojos in the city is also closely related to the bandits. There’s even someone who’s secretly helping the mountain bandits.”

Sun Yuanshan couldn’t help but sneer. “It’s ridiculous. Any of us could easily wipe out those mountain bandits, but they’ve been inactive until now.”

“There should be something more important.” Qin Huai was also a little enlightened.

“Oh?” Sun Yuanshan looked at Qin Huai.

“If the eight major martial arts centers annihilate the mountain bandits, wouldn’t they also win the hearts of the people? At that time, will Pingnan City be the Pingnan City of the eight major martial arts schools or the city lord’s Pingnan City?”

Sun Yuanshan sighed. “That’s right. It’s also the time for the city lord’s mansion to let go of the bandits and win over the people’s hearts. The more serious the bandits are, the deeper the resentment of the people will be. After the bandits are eliminated, the people’s hearts will be stronger…”

“The people suffer when they rise, and the people suffer when they fall.” Qin Huai also sighed.

With the thousands of years of history from his previous life, he could see things clearly.

“After hearing this, are you disappointed in your master?” Sun Yuanshan looked at Qin Huai.

“Not really. Master and disciple are not good people,” Qin Huai replied respectfully. “It’s already good enough that you can protect yourself and your family. You don’t take the initiative to harm the lives of innocent people.

“How can there be so many saints in the world who worry about the world? Oh, there were. Those who gave advice from far away were all saints. I can’t tolerate any sand in my eyes.”

Sun Yuanshan laughed. “Come with me. I’ve come up with a kind of poison to soak hidden weapons. You can give me some advice…”

The master and disciple had a serious conversation for a while, then they colluded with each other and went to the field and rat nest.

As for Qi Yangbing, he sighed and left. Qin Huai only returned to the courtyard late at night.

In the letter from the Luo manor today, it was stated that the Cui family wanted to buy thirty sets of armor, which would be available next month. Luo Huatian wanted to hire people from the Changshan Dojo to escort them, but he hoped that Qin Huai would personally lead the team.

Qin Huai didn’t have any objections and readily agreed. Next month, the bandits’ meeting in the city lord’s mansion would be almost over.

After replying to the letter, Qin Huai fell into a deep sleep.

The sun rose as usual the next day.

In the White Ore mine, the exchanges between the two dojos had not decreased, and the experience of Qin Huai’s thunder skill was still very stable.

However, since his rumbling thunder skill had reached level 20, his daily experience points had dropped from 1,000 to 500. It would take him two months to reach level 30.

On the fifth day after Qin Huai’s return, the city lord’s mansion made an announcement to the entire city. He wanted to get rid of evil for the people and sweep away bandits.

For a time, Pingnan City was surrounded by rivers of blood. And every time the army returned triumphantly with the bloody heads of the mountain bandits, the people in the city all lined the streets to welcome them, and the firecrackers went off.

With the mountain bandits appeased, the cost of transporting goods and materials to and fro had also been reduced. The prices of goods in the city had also dropped a little.

Although it was limited, this was the first time in more than a year that the city had reduced its price.

In the restaurants, bars, and stalls, everyone was talking about the good things that the city lord’s mansion had done and the mountains they had swept. It seemed to be a sign of prosperity.

At the end of August, Qin Huai entered the camp to deliver armor half a month later.

“Ding! You have collected a [Four-directional Tiger-wolf Technique Essence (White)], [Four-directional Tiger-Wolf Technique] Experience +6!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Four-directional Tiger-wolf Technique Essence (White)], [Four-directional Tiger-Wolf Technique] Experience +5!”

“Ding! You have collected a [Four-directional Tiger-wolf Technique Essence (White)], [Four-directional Tiger-Wolf Technique] Experience +7!”

One by one, the experience orbs merged into Qin Huai’s body.

In his huge cultivation ‘memory,’ the feeling of exhaustion from the last time he cultivated was delayed. He had also completed this abnormal cultivation with ease.

In the second half of the year, Qin Huai noticed something unusual while cultivating. When the white dragon in his body was exhausted, it would separate a part of its ‘qi’ and merge it with his flesh and blood to fill the gap in power.

As time passed, he discovered that he could actively control the white dragon to merge with his muscles to fill up the gaps. The exhaustion disappeared, and the extreme cultivation sensation that consumed his life and vitality no longer existed in his body.

In this long ‘one year’ of cultivation, about 5,000 points of experience had been integrated into Qin Huai’s mind as he paced around the camp’s drill ground.

“So that’s how it is. The reduction in lifespan from the four-directional tiger-wolf technique will decrease with the cultivation technique’s level.” Qin Huai’s mind was filled with thoughts.

“The creator of this cultivation technique must have wanted ordinary people to quickly possess the power to cause harm to martial artists, regardless of the life and death of cultivators. However, there are no such drawbacks in the later stages of cultivation.

“The creators only treat ordinary people as tools of war, and those who stand out naturally don’t have to worry about longevity when their realms are higher. Perhaps they might even have the effect of prolonging their lives.”

Qin Huai deduced the changes of the four-directional tiger-wolf technique based on his own memories.

And the mystery of General Ying, who was in the fifth refinement, was also solved. However, what surprised Qin Huai the most was…

As expected, the four-directional tiger-wolf technique reacted with the other cultivation techniques. It was just like the white lightning dragon that was born from the rumbling thunder skill and the long breath technique.

The key was, the mutual influence of these cultivation techniques was completed in the ‘memory.’ The white dragon can be fused into the muscles, and this change was really unexpected.

…

Back at the dojo, Qin Huai impatiently entered the deep mountains.

“It feels like my blood is boiling!”

His body suddenly felt hot, and his skin turned slightly red.

Like the armored soldiers, Qin Huai’s body was slightly larger. He took a deep breath and controlled the white dragon’s aura in his body to separate and enter his muscles.

...

Bang! Bang!

At this moment, Qin Huai’s body had expanded by a full size. There were even some faint white lines that appeared between the gaps of his muscles, and his strength had clearly increased.

His astonishing muscles were as sharp as knives and axes, with distinct lines. Blue veins stuck close to his skin, displaying his terrifying strength.

Qin Huai walked up to a tree that was more than ten meters tall, so tall that two people would have to wrap their arms around it.

His two hands turned into claws and directly embedded into the tree. His qi sank into his dantian, and his feet were like the roots of an old tree.

“Break!” Qin Huai growled and suddenly began to emerge. The sound of roots breaking came from under his feet.

With a red face, he slowly pulled out a tree that was more than ten meters tall.

BOOM!

The big tree was put down by Qin Huai.

“In this state, a fourth refinement martial artist would be crushed by me with just this physical body. If we’re at the same cultivation level, I might not even need to use a forbidden technique.”

Qin Huai looked at his battle results and panted heavily. Then, he removed this state.

...

He pondered for a while and thought of a name for this state. White Dragon and boiling blood… Let’s call it the Blood Dragon form.”

Later, Qin Huai returned to the courtyard and read the letter from the Luo manor.

The armor had been forged, and he was just waiting for himself…
