Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 66 Three months

After this period of honing his skills, Lu Ming's cultivation has now reached the peak of the early stage of True Essence.

One True Essence Pill was enough to allow him to break through his cultivation level.

Sure enough, a short while later...

It felt as if a string within my body had snapped.

Then, his cultivation level reached the mid-stage of the True Essence Realm.

After feeling the energy flowing through my body.

A fleeting look of satisfaction crossed Lu Ming's eyes.

Above Bone Forging is the True Essence Realm. Above that, from low to high, there is Qi Refining, then the Innate Realm. After the Innate Realm, there seems to be the legendary Qi Refining Realm, a realm that only people from immortal sects can reach.

It is said that they can use unpredictable and supernatural means.

Whether it's the royal family or the major clans of Dayu, there are people from the immortal sects among them.

Lu Ming hopes that one day he can reach that level as well.

"Now, I have about 130,000 jin of strength," Lu Ming muttered to himself.

With his combat prowess, he could even put up a fight against a master at the mid-stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

In addition, he had already grasped the basic form of the spirit of the universe.

It is not impossible to win the battle.

He might not be considered a top expert in the Great Yu region, but if he were placed in Hongdu Prefecture, he would definitely be considered a master.

Even within the Baili family, there are definitely not many experts at the Gangqi Realm.

With a slight movement of his body, Lu Ming heard a series of cracking sounds.

Then, they walked out of the secret room.

"Squeak!"

"Husband, Zhang Meng is looking for you. He says it's important." As soon as Lu Ming stepped out of the secret room, Li Xirou appeared at the door, looking quite charming.

She wore a light blue long dress and a fluffy white shawl.

It is elegant with a touch of allure.

This really moved Lu Ming.

However, when he learned that Zhang Meng was looking for him, he didn't delay and just smiled and said, "I'll be right back."

"Come back early if you have nothing else to do, dinner will be ready soon," Li Xirou said crisply.

Since she started cultivating, although she is still shy, she has become much more cheerful than before.

Lu Ming waved his hand.

He went to the front yard without looking back.

Upon arriving at the training ground, I saw a large number of carriages parked in the courtyard.

Even the streets outside were filled with people.

It was covered with a tarpaulin, and we had no idea what was inside.

Zhang Meng jogged over and whispered, "Sir, the centurion of the garrison commander's personal guard has arrived. He brought all these things."

As he spoke, he pointed towards a middle-aged man.

The other party also noticed Lu Ming at this moment and immediately walked over.

"Greetings, General!" The tone was unusually respectful.

You should know that this is Qian Yong's personal guard centurion. Even the captains in the prefectural city have to give him face on ordinary days.

They might even take the initiative to befriend them.

Therefore, even within Hongdu Prefecture, he would definitely be considered a very important figure.

But now, when facing Lu Ming, he appears very respectful.

Although somewhat surprised, the former still smiled and said, "I wonder what brings Lord Sun here today?"

After all, he was Qian Yong's confidant, so he could be very humble.

However, Lu Ming couldn't really treat the other party as a subordinate.

"General, I am here on the orders of the garrison commander to deliver grain to you. There are a full 300,000 shi of grain. Please check and accept them," the centurion said hurriedly.

"It's already been counted, a full 300,000 shi," Zhang Meng whispered.

Lu Ming could clearly see the surprise in the other person's eyes.

Three hundred thousand shi of grain is a very large sum of money, no matter the era.

Not to mention now.

He was very puzzled as to why Qian Yong, who was usually so stingy, would be so generous.

"Since Lord Sun is personally escorting it, how could I not trust him? I won't personally count it."

Then, he turned to Zhang Meng and said, "Go to the accounting office and get six thousand taels of silver." Upon receiving the order, the man ran off in a flash.

When they returned a moment later.

They carried two suitcases, one slightly larger and one slightly smaller.

Lu Ming picked up the small box and placed it in the hands of the centurion opposite him, saying, "You must be tired from your journey. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

This contains one thousand taels of silver.

At the same time, he kicked the large silver box on the ground and said, "This is a gift prepared for the general."

Actually, the centurion on the other side was originally going to refuse.

He knew something about Lu Ming's affairs, so of course he didn't dare accept anything from him.

However, there's still Qian Yong's money left, and it wouldn't be appropriate for me not to take it.

Moreover, since Lu Ming offered it voluntarily, after a slight refusal, he accepted it.

However, their attitude became even more respectful at this moment.

By this time, it had already gotten dark.

Lu Ming naturally wanted to persuade the other party to stay for dinner, so he could only helplessly say goodbye to his wife.

He then took the centurion to the restaurant.

After the meal, the two became much closer.

The next day, after Lu Ming saw her off.

The entire Fenglei County then entered a period of calm once again.

The 300,000 shi of grain has already been stored.

Lu Ming had a rough idea about the origin of the grain: Qian Yong was greedy and loved to amass wealth.

Therefore, this grain must not have been sent by him.

Among the people he knew, only one person could come up with the ability to produce so much, and that was Li Yan.

This made Lu Ming nostalgic once again for the time when the old couple were alive.

The scene of me going there to freeload meals every day.

Fenglei Town is Li Yan's hometown, and the other party is now thinking of him.

He didn't know where Li Yan was, so he could only temporarily entrust his feelings to Fenglei County.

Bai Yan acted swiftly, and today he has already begun urging the refugees to dig foundations.

At the foot of the mountain, brick-making workshops began to be built.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Lu Ming now has a total of 500,000 shi of grain in his hands, giving him plenty of confidence.

The next step is to improve the strength of your subordinates.

Therefore, he spent almost all his time cultivating after that, and at the same time, he exchanged a batch of Blood-Moving Pills from the shop to improve the cultivation of his subordinates.

As for the affairs of the county seat, he didn't need to worry about them.

After Bai Yan arrived, things changed almost every day. The city was under construction, and many houses were even built.

Even previously neglected wastelands have been developed into numerous plots.

Distributed to refugees who entered Fenglei County.

This led to a surge in the population of Fenglei County.

It gradually developed towards a more prosperous and bustling direction.

Three months passed in the blink of an eye.

And Fenglei County also ushered in spring.

The withered grass began to turn green.

Even the tree branches have sprouted new buds.

Everything seems to be reviving.

In reality, it hides a great terror.

As the weather gradually warms up, rebellions of varying degrees have broken out in various places.

It even shows signs of spreading like wildfire.

The changes in Fenglei County are equally dramatic.

On this day, a series of banging sounds came from Lu Ming's secret room.

After three months of arduous training, he finally emerged from seclusion once again.
