Chapter 39: Beggar and Micro-Circulation
Jiang Ding closed his eyes to nourish and temper the twelfth regular meridian, the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian, occasionally mixing in the cultivation of the Small Concealment Technique, his aura like stone and wood.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed.
Thinking for a while, his footsteps tapped lightly, and he came to the courtyard wall, followed by a few steps, walking through the eaves like a silent bird.
"Woo woo..."
In a certain corner, the scarred, burly man Liu Qi used a handkerchief to cover a thin, dirty beggar covered in filth, and after a while, his body went limp like mud and was thrown to the ground.
"Alright, move him to the carriage." Liu Qi snorted coldly at the two people behind him: "It's not that you made a mistake here or a leak there!"
"Yes, Brother Seven!"
The two sturdy men nodded and bowed, moving their hands and feet lightly to lift the beggar onto the carriage.
"I can't control other places."
【This novel is first published, please go to read!】
"Speak."
Clang! A bright sword light flashed and returned to the sheath.
"Also... stop other beggars from entering the vicinity of Rotten Board Street. Let Long Shi handle it."
!.
Jiang Ding said in a low voice: "Rotten Board Street and the nearby streets, such things are not allowed to happen again. Otherwise, Long Shi, you, and anyone involved will pay with your lives."
"Proprietor is righteous!" 【39
Forget it, forget it.
The door curtain was lifted, and inside were children and beggars in their teens, laid out helter-skelter in the carriage.
Huang De bowed deeply, saying nothing more about any difficulties.
Inside the small courtyard, Jiang Ding felt somewhat sullen and summoned Huang De.
Thump! "Young Master, spare my life!"
"This..."
Jiang Ding made a slight calculation.
"Proprietor, what are you doing..."
"Fifty-four days; it will probably take two months to reach the 'Small Heavenly Circuit' realm."
"The next stage of cultivation is to continue tempering the twelve main meridians' tiny branches, accommodating more internal power, and step by step returning from the acquired to the innate. The next realm is the 'Small Heavenly Circuit,' where each of the twelve main meridians must be tempered to reach one hundred tiny branches, totaling one thousand two hundred."
Liu Qi's face turned bitter: "The order from the Zheng family is for our Wild Wolf Gang to offer up fifty boys and girls under the age of twenty, otherwise... my Wild Wolf Gang cannot withstand the consequences."
A cold voice came, and Liu Qi looked around, but the figure was already gone...
This was, of course, a lie; in the eyes of these gang members, kidnapping children and collecting protection fees were about the same, with no real difference.
Jiang Ding took a light breath, calming his slightly icy killing intent.
Liu Qi nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice, not caring whether he could actually do it or not.
"The difficulty of performing the Small Breath-Concealing Technique has decreased; I should be able to enter the proficient level within a week."
Killing intent brewed in Jiang Ding's heart, yet he had no choice but to suppress it.
The Zheng family.
Huang De was startled, considering Jiang Ding's recent conduct; aside from those who actively provoked him, he was almost harmless to everyone and would even proactively think for others.
"Every beggar in the city might come to us."
This is the 'Micro Heavenly Circuit' realm of the Immortal Sect's fledgling eagle internal qi! The twelve main meridians are initially tempered, circulating into a whole, and all aspects undergo a minor qualitative change.
"Young Master, this lowly one does not want to do such unconscionable things either; it is an order from above."
"Perhaps to train dead soldiers? Cultivate eunuchs? Or perhaps kidnapping and maiming to practice evil arts?" Liu Qi's face turned bitter: "How could we small fry know the thoughts of big figures like the Zheng family?"
The dantian qi sea is formed! Jiang Ding felt the internal power between the twelve main meridians form a whole; even if left alone, it could spontaneously flow and circulate, and the speed at which internal qi was born had at least doubled! Draw sword. Jiang Ding muttered to himself.
At a certain moment, a sound like a mountain collapsing and a sea roaring came from beyond the sky; all the internal power in his entire body became stagnant, and then suddenly turned violent, moving toward a certain point in the center.
"Hurry up, the gang leader is in a rush, damn it, where are there so many beggars..." Liu Qi wiped his hands in disgust and was about to do something when his expression changed drastically.
While admiring him in his heart, he advised: "Proprietor, it is best not to do this; these beggars are the government's business, we cannot manage it all, and once we get involved, there will be endless trouble."
"It had better be so."
"The Wild Wolf Gang has high ambitions; it hasn't been long, and they are already involved in the business of kidnapping children. The future is boundless."
The Zheng family is an in-law of the Dongling Marquis Mansion; if he moves against them, it will very likely attract the garrison, destroying the currently flourishing and excellent situation.
Ninety-nine percent of things in the world can be solved as long as one is willing to spend silver.
I am but a high school student, with low aptitude and strength, clumsy and incompetent; what qualifications do I have to act on my grievances?
Calling him a genius is no problem; he is expected to reach Great Accomplishment in internal qi before the college entrance examination, tempering the twenty thousand tiny branches of the twelve main meridians and eight extraordinary meridians required for Great Accomplishment.
A youth in green robes appeared not far from him, watching silently, without anyone knowing when he arrived.
This speed is not bad.
Liu Qi knelt on the ground, his body trembling, involuntarily recalling the scene of the Wolf Guard's head falling to the ground and blood gushing out that day.
Jiang Ding's heart grew colder, yet the education he received made him want to trace the root cause of everything and solve problems at the essential level.
Liu Qi looked left and right; two burly men understood and immediately ran to the distance, looking as if they would stay away the moment anything went wrong.
"The speed and quality of internal power have both increased slightly."
With another thought, the internal power formed a complex true qi structure between the twelve main meridians, and his entire aura quickly disappeared without a trace, like earth and stone.
He had always disliked getting involved in the fighting and strife of the natives.
Those who mix in the jianghu have no conscience.
"Go."
But seeing boys and girls of his own age, even younger than him, fall into such a tragic plight, he still could not bear it in his heart.
Jiang Ding caught a bright yellow fallen leaf with his hand, applied slight force with his index finger and thumb, divided it into two identical thin slices, and let them drift to the ground.
Jiang Ding said indifferently: "Do it, investigate the number of beggars in Rotten Board Street and the nearby streets, find a way to let them eat their fill, don't just simply distribute porridge, find things for them to do, teach them one or two survival skills, etc.; I will allocate silver for you."
"This is something you should be thinking about!"
Jiang Ding sat on the chair, hand on the sword hilt, continuing to use internal power to warm and temper the twelfth main meridian, the Foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian.
"Every day there is the Essence-to-Qi Pill and the Purple Jade Vitality Pill issued by the school; under these circumstances, I can temper twenty tiny meridians every day..."
In the lower left abdomen, the internal power began to rotate, from slow to fast, from fast to slow, the internal power connecting the twelve main meridians of the whole body poured in here, and flowed out from here, flowing through the whole body.
"How many beggars are there near our shop who are forced by circumstances, not the lazy kind?" Jiang Ding asked.
"Yes, yes, yes! You can rest assured."
"Why, what is the use?"
Hand placed on the sword hilt.
Besides this, he can now temper and warm twenty tiny meridians every day, doubling the efficiency compared to before.
However, there is still a long way to go to the one hundred and eight thousand total human meridians of the Fledgling Eagle Innate.
"Two paths."
Jiang Ding's gaze was profound; naturally, he would not be satisfied with this.
"First, the technique comprehension level reaches Great Accomplishment or even Perfection, and the tempering speed will be greatly improved; second, obtain the 'Blue Gold Agent'!"
