Chapter 106: Changing Strings and Changing Tensions

Underwater.

The thick green vines glowed, and waves flickered on the stone wall.

Liang Qu sat cross-legged, five hearts facing the sky.

The thick blood energy seeped into the bones in strands, bringing a tingling, numbing pleasure.

After the blood Qi was completely exhausted, Liang Qu exhaled a long breath.

More than a month had passed since breaking through the Flesh Barrier.

In more than a month, he had eaten four treasure fish, one spirit monster, plus daily medicinal baths and supply of Qi-Returning Pills, fully nourishing the Bone Barrier.

The existence of Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones would not help break through the Bone Barrier.

Breaking through the barrier is equivalent to special reinforcement. Ordinary people breaking through the Bone Barrier is Bone +1, while he is Tiger Bone +1, which cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

This is also why natural martial bones are praised; it is not just a first-mover advantage, but the stamina is greater, it is rolling a snowball.

Water Vitality is even more wonderful.

Liang Qu constantly dug and tried, finding that in the water, he could not only absorb Water Ze Essence at the rate of one point per day, but guiding the flow of blood Qi would also be smoother.

Operating "Xing Qi Ming", the speed was one point faster than on land!

Others need the help of meditation incense, Liang Qu only needs to soak in the river, and the inside of the giant rock where Water Lingzhi grows is a natural quiet room.

Quiet, no one to disturb, sufficient water vapor, and light.

Qi and blood recovery also became faster. Originally, he could recover three times a day, now he could have three and a half times, meaning he practiced the barrier once more than ordinary people every day.

Over time, it is equivalent to leading others by one-third in the time spent breaking through the barrier.

Liang Qu didn't know whether this was due to Water Vitality or the enhanced recovery brought by Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones?

Or both?

Judging by today's speed and situation, he could break through the barrier in less than ten days, achieving a three-barrier martial artist.

When Cao Shixiong Hu first taught apprentices in the martial arts hall, he was only a three-barrier martial artist, and only later did he achieve four barriers, register, become a real martial artist, and eat imperial grain.

A three-barrier martial artist in a small family is enough to be a guest of honor.

Not to mention the Dragon Tendons and Tiger Bones bonus, Liang Qu felt that his strength was not much worse than Cao Shixiong Hu's.

As for the change in root bones, Master Yang's statement is that many special constitutions are recessive initially, especially in poor households.

Insufficient innate nourishment will cause some extraordinary martial bones to sink and become introverted, which is a self-protection function.

Otherwise, if the consumption is too much and the poor household cannot get sufficient food supply, it will consume the person to death.

It's a bit like insufficient Qi and blood, forcibly refining the barrier.

Liang Qu broke through the Flesh Barrier, and the strong Qi and blood stimulation allowed the martial bones to appear again.

This is not made up; it is written in black and white in "Yu Guanxiu Xing Ming You Gan"!

It was precisely because of this that Liang Qu dared to appear in the martial arts hall generously. He knew that he had an explanation for this.

Coupled with "Long Dragon Crossing River", which itself is evidence of the peak of mortal bones, the senior brothers had no reason not to believe it, determining that the junior brother's future would be extraordinary.

Having a good fate is really refreshing; everything can be explained.

Liang Qu swam out of the giant rock, and the Fatty Catfish patrolling around the rock came over and brought him out of the water.

Breaking through the Flesh Barrier, his mental power rose again, but there was no command demand, so he saved it for now.

The edge of the deep water area was not as dangerous as imagined, and most spirit monsters were similar in strength to the armored beast, so he could continue to go deeper.

The small river in Pingyang Town could also be explored to see if it was really a dragon crossing the river.

This was the plan for the next few days.

Returning to the boat, the sky was gray, and the air was heavy and stuffy.

Lightning tore through the gray sky, and the thunder sounded like beating a huge iron pot, and this iron pot was buckled on top of the world.

Fine rain fell.

Awakening of Insects.

Spring has arrived.

Liang Qu returned to the pier in the rain.

Although it hadn't been attacked, the entire Yixing City looked like it was waiting for prosperity, and everywhere outside the original township, wooden houses were being built, and the area had expanded several times.

There were also powerful families who had fled here, carrying large and small bags, buying several large houses and sending people to repair them.

But there were no smiles on everyone's faces.

They thought the refugees would only stay for a while and then leave, but they didn't expect that news came a few days ago that the refugees wouldn't leave and would settle here afterward.

It caused panic.

Just because during this period, the refugees had to rely on them for the rest of their food, excluding the disaster relief grain sent by the government.

I heard that other prefectures were raising grain and transporting it over, which would still take some time. I don't know when this grain will arrive.

"Liang Ye!"

"Good day, Liang Ye."

"Water Brother."

"Liang Ye is going out by boat again."

Pedestrians held up their clothes, hiding from the fine rain, not forgetting to greet him.

Liang Qu nodded one by one.

Among them were those he didn't know, and those he did.

Many refugees from other places were knowing for the first time that the most capable person in the small Yixing City, the one who spoke the most powerfully, was not the township elders.

But Liang Qu, this young man.

When they heard it for the first time, they were surprised. No place had such a thing, but after getting used to it, they followed the villagers and called him Liang Ye, Water Brother.

The main house of the two-entry courtyard and the two side rooms next to the main house had been completely built, leaving only the side rooms and the large house in the backyard not yet bricked.

However, the main frame had been set up, so it wouldn't get wet.

With sufficient manpower, the speed was naturally fast.

Since the refugees came, a good portion of them came to ask for work, not wanting money, just wanting a bite to eat, making the original villagers nervous.

Liang Qu was not stingy and gave them a bite to eat, but the treatment was different from the locals; the ten copper coins were gone, only food.

Even so, the refugees were grateful.

It would take another month to move in.

Liang Qu took a simple look at the progress and rushed back to Pingyang Town.

According to the inside information Master Yang gave him, envoys would arrive this afternoon to distribute rewards.

At noon, Liang Qu changed into his most decent clothes and waited quietly with a group of senior brothers in the Yang Mansion.

In the hall, Yang Dongxiong's ears moved.

"They're here!"

Everyone filed out.

The sound of galloping horses came from far to near, and a team of people passed through the long street, and the crowd avoided them.

When they were two hundred meters away from the Yang Mansion, they reined in their horses and slowed down.

Until they reached the front of the mansion, the leading eunuch led everyone to dismount, his robes fluttering, took out a yellow scroll from his bosom, and shouted to summon.

"Yang Dongxiong of Pingyang Town, receive the decree!"

"Yang Dongxiong of Pingyang Town is here."

Yang Dongxiong took a step forward and knelt on one knee.

"By the grace of heaven, the Emperor decrees:

Withdraw Chaojiang County to Chaojiang Town, establish Pingyang Town as Pingyang County, and Yixing City as Yixing Town! Additionally, set up a River Po Office and a Demon Hunting Division in Pingyang County.

Because Yang Dongxiong and his disciples have merit in blocking the Ghost Mother Sect, they are appointed as managers of the River Po Office and Demon Hunting Division, rewarded with one hundred taels of gold, and three dragon-blood treasure horses!

Yu Dun, appointed as County Lieutenant of Pingyang County

Lu Gang

Liang Qu, for contributing the Pinyin Method and having merit in blocking the Ghost Mother Sect demon, appointed as River Po of the River Po Office, eighth rank, rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and one dragon-blood treasure horse!

You should all follow my decree, maintain the peace of the imperial court, be responsible for guarding the land, appease the hearts of the people, and be diligent in government and love the people.

Respect this!" ===== CHAPTER 107 =====
