Longevity begins with refining blood essence

Chapter 23 How can people survive in this corrupt world?
"Master Fang is so modest."

"This person is in the Xiantian realm, so it is better to kill him directly."

Fang Chen made a suggestion, but Chen Shouren shook his head and rejected it.

"No, this man is a follower of the prefect of Chuzhou, who is a disciple of the Tenth Prince. If we can hand him over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation, the prefect of Chuzhou will certainly be implicated, and we might be able to cut off one of the Tenth Prince's arms. It would be a waste to kill him like this."

"Is that so? Then you must be prepared. If you want to escape from the Xiantian realm, don't use too many methods."

"Haha, don't worry, I will pierce his scapula first, and then give him a Qi-dispersing pill. Even if he is a Golden Immortal, he won't be able to escape."

Fang Chen was speechless. He always felt that adding BUFF in this way was not a good thing, but he just came to help, so he didn't say much.

"Since the matter here has been concluded, Fang will take his leave first."

"Master Fang, take care."

Chen Shouren took out a stack of silver bills from his sleeve.

"Here is 10,000 taels of silver. Although it's not much, it's a token of my appreciation."

"Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

Fang Chen didn't beat around the bush and accepted it directly.

Because this trip to Chuzhou, spending money is inevitable.

At the same time, outside the city of Chuzhou, all officials of all levels in the entire Chuzhou prefecture stood outside the city in an orderly line.

Soon, accompanied by a huge team coming in, everyone knelt on the ground.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."

Hearing this voice, a majestic figure slowly walked out from the bronze sedan chair in the front. He glanced at everyone, nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"Everyone loves you."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone stood up and the prince looked at the prefect of Chuzhou.

"Lord Liu, this martial arts conference will be held in your Chuzhou Prefecture. I wonder if Chuzhou Prefecture can make proper arrangements?"

"Your Highness, all work related to the grand event in Chuzhou Prefecture has been properly arranged."

Before the prince could even think of praising him, the prefect of Chuzhou spoke again:

"However, this year, several cities including Linyuan City in Chuzhou suffered heavy rains, and the Qianjiang River burst its banks, drowning many people. Our Chuzhou Prefecture has exhausted all its money to host the martial arts conference, and is unable to provide disaster relief. I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sympathize with the people and allocate silver from the national treasury for disaster relief."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became quiet, and a gloomy look flashed across the Crown Prince's eyes.

But looking at the pairs of eager eyes below, he finally put on a compassionate face.

"My dear minister, what you said is absolutely right. If that is the case, I will issue an order immediately and ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds to save the people."

"Thank you, Your Highness. Your Highness' kindness is a blessing to the world."

"I still have some official business to attend to, so I will go to the temporary palace first. My dear ministers, please leave."

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince into the city!"

"Congratulations, Your Royal Highness."

Following the words of the prefect of Chuzhou, everyone shouted loudly and immediately made way for the convoy to enter the city.

Inside the bronze chariot, the prince's face was as gloomy as water.

"This damned Tenth Prince is the fattest among all the princes, and he even dared to instruct the prefect of Chuzhou to ask me for money. I really want to eat his flesh alive."

Next to him sat an old man with white hair and beard, who said calmly:
"Not only that, I heard that it was because he instigated the prefect of Chuzhou to covet the money allocated by the court to repair the river embankment that eventually led to the collapse of the river embankment, flooding the city, and killing countless people."

The prince clenched his fists.

"This damned Old Tenth is so despicable and shameless in order to take food from me. If I catch him one day, I will tear him into pieces." "Now we have to be careful that the relief money and grain will be embezzled by him again. Your Highness should send a capable general to prevent him from amassing money."

"Let the fourth one go. When it comes to serving the people, he is the most reliable one."

A few days later, Fang Chen immediately left Jianghai City thousands of miles away, but the strange thing was that the further east he went, the more desolate the land became, and even the bark of the trees had been eaten away.

We also found many migrating people on the road, all of them were skinny and half-naked.

"Jianghai City is relatively remote. Logically speaking, the closer a place is to Chuzhou Prefecture, the more prosperous it should be."

Puff.
At this moment, a woman holding a baby fell to the ground, and the little girl was so scared that she fell on her mother and burst into tears.

"Woo ah mom, don't scare me, woo woo woo."

The disaster victims walking around all had a green light in their eyes. People who were extremely hungry, driven by desire, would not care about any moral principles as long as they had a bite to eat.

"Whoever can save my mother, please be kind and save my mother. I will serve him like a slave."

The girl begged desperately while kowtowing to the people around her. Her forehead was bruised and blood was all over her face.

Smelling the blood in the air, several figures swallowed their saliva, with murderous eyes, and began to surround the mother and daughter. You could guess what they were going to do with your toes.

Fang Chen pondered for a moment and decided to step forward.

"roll!"

Just one glance was enough to shock several people. They were so frightened that they retreated back.

Fang Chen has taken many lives, and the murderous intent in his eyes is not something that ordinary people can match.

He came to the little girl, who seemed to have found a life-saving straw. She immediately grabbed Fang Chen's trouser legs and cried:
"Big brother, please, save my mother."

"Be quiet."

Fang Chen spoke lightly, and the little girl tactfully shut up and just sobbed quietly, not daring to make any loud noise.

Fang Chen stretched out his hand and placed it on the woman's wrist, transferring a stream of spiritual energy to her. The woman's already weak pulse gradually recovered strength, and she slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw Fang Chen, she immediately understood and thanked him.

"Thank you for saving my life, sir."

"Don't thank me, thank your daughter instead."

Only then did the woman notice that her daughter's face was covered in blood, and she immediately picked up the girl and burst into tears.

"My son, why are you so stupid?"

"Mom, Mengmeng only wants to be with you."

Looking at the mother and son who were crying loudly, Fang Chen took out a few pieces of beef jerky from his bag and handed them over.

"Recover your strength."

"My benefactor, how can this be possible? You saved me."

"Eat quickly, I don't have time to stay here with you."

Fang Chen simply threw the beef jerky over and did not leave immediately. If he left, the disaster victims nearby would tear the mother and daughter to pieces, not to mention those pieces of beef jerky.

The mother and daughter kowtowed to Fang Chen to express their gratitude, then hurriedly put the beef into their mouths and chewed it like crazy.

"Where are you from? Why are you stranded here?"

The woman said with a hint of tears:

"We are the victims of the disaster in Linyuan City. The dike of the Qianjiang River in Linyuan City collapsed, flooding the city and crops. We had no choice but to escape."
