Immortal Refiner

As the situation in the imperial capital became more and more chaotic, fighting and killing in the streets often occurred, and the court seemed unwilling to see this situation continue.

A few days later, a piece of heavy news spread throughout Shengtian.

Wu Lijun, return to the court!

With the release of this news, in a very short period of time, those people in the imperial capital who relied on force to break the law became much more honest in an instant.

Some streets in the city where fighting occurred every day suddenly became stable. At least no warriors dared to fight in the streets during the day.

Li Qing laughed when he heard the news.

But it was normal to think about it. The more than ten thousand captains of the Wu Lijun were all top-notch internal force masters!

Although there may be only seven or eight people who can take action because of the previous war with Liang State, this is undoubtedly an extremely powerful deterrent.

And the commander-in-chief of the Wu Lijun, Lu Guanghong, is most likely a master of Huajin!

Nowadays, there are not many martial arts masters in the entire martial arts world, which shows how powerful they are.

...

Since a few Liangzhou heroes replaced Qingshan Martial Arts Hall, there has been no major movement in Chiming Street.

Except for the announcement that they would only collect two taels of silver per month, merchants on the street rarely saw them.

However, after all, they collected less protection fees, and their daily lives were no different from before. It was just that the boss was replaced by a few rough men from Qingshan Martial Arts Hall. There was not much change, and the neighbors quickly accepted them.

That day, in Boss Zhang's wonton shop.

Fang Long, with a bandage on his left arm, brought his seven brothers to take care of the business again. At first, this scene scared Boss Zhang so much that he was sweating all over, but after learning that these people were really just here to eat wontons, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Several warriors, the wontons you ordered are here!"

Boss Zhang brought the wontons up, all in large bowls, steaming hot, and looking at them made people's appetites grow.

"Hahaha, Boss Zhang, don't be nervous. We brothers really love your wontons." Fang Long said with a smile: "As I said before, you only need to pay us one tael of silver in the future, no need for two taels!"

After saying this, Boss Zhang of the wonton shop immediately became terrified and said: "This... How can this be possible!"

The other men also laughed: "We men from Liangzhou are true to our word. We said we would only charge you one tael, and we will only charge you one tael, and we will never take more!"

"Thank you very much, warriors. I'll treat you to this bowl of wontons today!" Boss Zhang smiled happily.

Fang Long did not refuse Boss Zhang's kindness, and the rest of them ate the fragrant wontons with peace of mind.

The eight people present were all martial artists, so they naturally had a big appetite. After a while, the oil, chili and vinegar bottles on the table were all empty, and even the soup in the bowl was drunk up.

After eating, Fang Long glanced at the youngest boy.

At this time, Yang Xing also raised his head, looked at Fang Long, and then nodded.

Seeing this action, Fang Long's eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity, then he stood up and said, "You guys eat first, Brother Yang and I will visit the blacksmith next door."

The remaining six people were slightly startled, and didn't say much.

"It's okay, it's just a visit, you just sit down and relax." Yang Xing also stood up and followed Fang Long into the blacksmith shop.

At this time in the shop, Li Qing was concentrating on polishing a finger-sized iron nail.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the door, he asked without raising his head: "Do you want to buy weapons or forge iron?".

Fang Long looked at Yang Xing again, and after getting a positive answer, he smiled happily, raised his bandaged arm, and clasped his fists and said:

"Shengtian is worthy of it. It is really a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. I didn't expect that in such a blacksmith shop, there would be a master of external strength hiding here as a blacksmith!"

Li Qing heard the words, and the movement of his hands paused slightly, and then continued to grind the iron nail, while calmly saying:

"Awesome, Xu Qingshan couldn't see my martial arts for so long, but you saw through it after just a few days. No wonder you were able to drive him away."

"Hahaha, excuse me, it's not that our eyesight is good, but my brother's internal martial arts is unique. It can sense whether the human body's qi and blood are vigorous or not, and can probably judge a person's martial arts level."

As he said, Fang Long patted Yang Xing beside him.

At this time, Li Qing put down the polished nails and looked at the quiet boy with a strange look on his face.

"There is such a magical martial art in the world, which really broadens my horizons."

Yang Xing replied: "I just got it by chance. Apart from being able to sense qi and blood, there is nothing special about it."

Without going into this topic in depth, Li Qing said: "What is the purpose of you two coming to my shop today?"

Fang Long said proudly: "Nothing, just come to visit!"

"Now this Chi Ming Street is under the protection of our brothers, but people like you can be exempted from the fee in the future. We are not as blind as that old man Xu."

Li Qing smiled and said: "I don't like to fight for fame and fortune in my life. Practicing martial arts is just a temporary hobby. Maybe in the future, when I have to trouble you guys, I can still afford the monthly fee of two taels of silver."

However, Fang Long waved his hand and said carelessly: "Master Li, if you need our help, just ask, but don't mention the fee. If it gets out, I will lose face!"

It is really hard for ordinary people to collect protection fees from martial arts masters of the same level. Only people like Xu Qingshan who are unaware of the situation will do this.

Li Qing did not continue to refuse the kindness of the hero from Liangzhou, but clasped his fists to show respect.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned.

"The internal martial arts that can sense the human body's qi and blood are really powerful... I'm afraid that Yang Xing is also an external force master."

Li Qing's tone was a little serious, and then he looked at the trees on the street that sprouted new leaves and pursed his lips slightly.

"It's been spring for a long time, and it's time to go to Xiaocui Ridge."

In order to hunt the tiger in Xiaocui Ridge, he had been preparing for a long time. He not only refined a set of armor with anti-thorns for himself, but also made thirteen finger-sized bone-piercing nails!

In addition, he also prepared a wide blade specially used for hunting, which was extremely sharp!

"It's just right to leave the city to avoid the limelight of Wu Lijun, so as not to be recognized."

Li Qing touched his cheek. In fact, his face has changed a lot, and his temperament is also a bit more mature than when he was in the frontier military camp.
