Chapter 60: Clues to the Murder Case (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Constable Squad Leader/Taiping Division White-robed Officer (Ninth Rank)]

[Points: 0 points]

[Realm: Second level of body tempering (ultimate level of skin tempering)]

[Kung Fu: Savage Elephant Meat Tempering Technique (Beginner’s Guide)…]

[Martial Arts: Fubo Sword Skills (Perfect), Archery (Beginner)]

When the sky brightened, Su Mu was steaming all over and surrounded by white mist.

He called up the system panel again.

After a night of hard work, he finally mastered the Savage Elephant Meat Tempering Method.

In the column of skills, the Body Tempering Method is automatically folded up, and the detailed content will only be displayed when the attention is focused on it.

The content of the realm column has also changed.

The second level of body tempering, skin tempering has reached the extreme level.

"The Savage Elephant Flesh Tempering Method requires fifty points to get started, five hundred points to advance from entry level to minor success, one thousand points to advance from minor success to major success, and a full two thousand points to advance from major success to perfection."

Looking at the prompt on the system panel, Su Mu said to himself, "The points required to improve the flesh tempering are much more than those required to improve the skin tempering."

With the support of dual identities, his daily limit of points has reached 100 points.

Calculated at the fastest speed, it would take five days to achieve minor success in the Barbarian Elephant Flesh Tempering Method, fifteen days to achieve major success, and thirty-five days to achieve full success.

After thirty-five days, the flesh was tempered to perfection, which was equivalent to two or three years of hard work of an ordinary warrior.

It does sound fast, but this is an ideal state. In reality, it is impossible for Su Mu to get full "performance points" every day.

Most of the time, the points he could get every day were between fifty and seventy points.

Therefore, if one wants to improve the Savage Elephant Flesh Tempering Technique to the perfect level, it will definitely take more time than thirty-five days, and may even take two months.

“I have reached the ultimate state of skin hardening by practicing three kinds of skin hardening methods. If I want to reach the ultimate state of flesh hardening as well, I will probably have to practice at least three kinds of flesh hardening methods.

If calculated this way, it might take me half a year to reach the ultimate state of tempering flesh."

Su Mu secretly in his heart.

The higher you go in the four levels of body tempering, the more difficult it will be to practice and the longer it will take to improve.

He is already seventeen years old this year. If he can reach the ultimate state of flesh tempering in half a year, then it will take him another year to reach the ultimate state of tendon tempering, and then another year and a half to reach the ultimate state of bone tempering.

At that time, he was probably almost twenty years old, and barely reached the passing line of the Taiping Division - reaching the fourth level of body tempering before the age of twenty.

“It seems that my cultivation speed is very fast, but because my starting point is lower than others, I have to work harder to catch up with others.”

Su Mu said to himself.

Thinking of this, he didn't even bother to rest. After washing up, he changed into his police uniform and started his day's duty.

For two consecutive days, Su Mu spent his time on duty diligently. His hard work made Wang Liu and other constables admire him.

He is clearly already a squad leader, but he still insists on patrolling the streets in wind and rain every day. It's hard to say that he has become a squad leader at such a young age.

In terms of the seriousness with which he treats his job, if Subbantou of Nancheng Division is ranked second, no one dares to claim to be first.

The only time Su Mu was lazy during this period was because the Taiping Division sent a servant to deliver the Taiping Division's badge and uniform to him.

The uniforms of the Taiping Division's white-clad officers are also brocade and black shirts, with two round patches on the front and back.

If it is a Taiping Duwei or Taiping Xiaowei, the word "Taiping" will be embroidered on the patch, with "Tai" in front and "Ping" in the back, representing different identities depending on the silk thread used.

The Taiping Duwei is the black line, the Taiping Xiaowei is the silver line, and as for the gold line, only the Zhenfushi who commands the Taiping Xiaowei of a city can use it.

Su Mu, a commoner, is not qualified to have those two words embroidered on him.

He put the uniform away and did not wear it in public.

Now no one in the South City Division knows about his dual identity, and Su Mu feels that there is no need to let them know. If they really knew, I am afraid that I would not be able to be a constable. At that time, not only would I get less salary, but I would also have to earn less points.

It would be better to be a constable for the time being and complete the white-clothed trial of the Taiping Division at the same time. It will not be too late to give up the identity of a constable when you are qualified to embroider the word "Taiping".

…………

"It has been found out that Su Mu has no relationship with the city lord. He just happened to get close to Wang Guan last time."

At the Nancheng Yamen, Sima He Yuxing called the acting chief constable over and said in a deep voice.

"The second young master of the Wang family is a playboy, so he is likely to do anything unreliable. I can only say that Su Mu is lucky and has a lot in common with this playboy."

"So, Su Mu's background is just the second son of the Wang family? And this background is not reliable?"

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up.

If Su Mu is really someone important, it would be difficult for him, an acting constable, to become a regular one.

However, if Su Mu had no background, it would not be so easy for him to replace himself.

I am Lord Sima's confidant.

"That's right. The second young master of the Wang family doesn't last long in anything he does. Look, he hasn't taken care of Su Mu in all these days."

He Yuxing nodded and said, "We are too careful."

"This is because you are steady, sir."

Zhao Ji flattered, "Sir, since Su Mu has no background and he is unwilling to join you, should we--"

Zhao Ji made a gesture of cutting his neck with his hands.

"no need."

He Yuxing shook his head and said, "A boy with no background, relying on his talent and strength, doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, and thinks he can rise to the top.

It will become clear when he gets his head broken and bloody, and then he will kneel down in front of me and beg me."

He Yuxing sneered, "He has some strength, right? From now on, any hard work in Nancheng Division will be done by him.

If the task is accomplished, the credit goes to you and me; if it is not accomplished, he will bear the blame."

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Zhao Ji said, "The case of Wulimiao Village has been handed over to him for quite some time, but there is still no result. I will go and question him now.

If he can't catch the murderer, he should quit his job as a squad leader and go back to being a small detective."

The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

…………

"Things are in trouble."

Inside the residence in Guangfufang, Wei Yongfu gulped down a gulp of tea before putting down the teapot, looking at Su Mu and speaking with a serious expression.

The last time he was ordered to go out of the city to investigate the Wulimiao Village murder case, and he did not return until today.

"Trouble? Is the murder case in Wulimiao Village really related to demons?"

Su Mu asked in a deep voice.

If it really was demons causing trouble, then he would have to call for help.

"It wasn't the demon that did it, but it had some connection with the demon."

Wei Yongfu looked around vigilantly, then lowered his voice and said, "The deaths of those people in Wulimiao Village may be related to a gang called Wutian Sect. This Wutian Sect only appeared in Wuling City in the last seven or eight years and has been active in various places in the outer city.

I suspect they might be trying to create a demon!"
