I am a high-level martial arts master.

"Brother Du, why did we join the Poison Wolf Gang?"

After leaving the Poison Wolf Gang, the group of several people walked down the street.

A boy with a black square tattooed between his eyebrows had his hands tied behind his head and turned his head to look at the young man:

"I think Azure Dragon is actually alright, there's no need for him to join here."

"Because Poison Wolf is a universally acknowledged villain in folk tales! Whether it's kidnapping, extortion, or breaking children's arms and legs to make them beg, he'll do anything to make money."

Before the young man could speak, a man over two meters tall with a simple, honest face behind him laughed:

"If we join the Poison Wolf, it won't matter if we go a little too far, like turning an entire street of people into blood corpses."

"Although Canglong is a gangster, it has become more involved in legitimate businesses in recent years, which has created some burdens for it."

"Besides, Poison Wolf just suffered a major setback, so if we join them, we'll be valued more, even though that's insignificant."

"Anyway, as long as we help Poison Wolf destroy Azure Dragon, we shouldn't linger in this remote and impoverished place for too long."

"If team battles drag on for several years, it will lower the team's rating."

As they spoke, the young man surnamed Du, named Du Heyi, smiled and put his arm around the boy's shoulder, saying:

"Meng Yan, Captain, I still want to try my best to advance to the Innate Realm before I turn 35. This time, we not only need to win, but we need to win beautifully." Meng Yan gave a light "Oh," and said nonchalantly, "I'll listen to the captain. However, I might not be staying in Guangming for the next three months." Facing the puzzled group, Meng Yan explained:

"Using the name of the Poison Wolf Gang, I plan to participate in the Yan City Grand Competition in two months. After all, my cultivation level has not yet reached the Houtian realm." "Whether it's a secret manual to improve aptitude, a Heaven-Mending Pill, or a weapon, they are all valuable merit points and will be of great use to me. I'll consider my trip to Yan City as earning some extra money."

Upon hearing this, Duhe nodded in support, saying, "That works too. You've already reached the fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Rejuvenation Technique. In a small country like this, without any amplification from skill points, no one below the level of the Acquired Realm has a physique stronger than yours. Taking first place is more than enough."

"Hehe, Guangming will have to rely on you guys then." The boy said shyly, his gaze suddenly sharpening.

Noticing the boy's unusual behavior, everyone looked over.

Below Yueyangfang, the area in front of the ornately decorated restaurants was bustling with people.

One of the young men in white was standing opposite a burly man, and the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

Ye Li looked at the passersby in front of him with a somewhat helpless expression, then turned his head to look at the smiling girl behind him.

Having just broken through to the late stage of Body Tempering, I'm in a great mood and have some free time to fulfill my previous promise.

So he went directly to Yueyangfang and booked a private room to host Jiang Xiyue. However, because of his great reputation, he was recognized before he even went upstairs. Then, a towering shadow was cast on the bluestone slab. Liu Jiancheng of Bai Cang Martial Arts School, whose muscles were so bulging that his martial arts clothes looked like they were about to burst, clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "I have long admired Young Master Ye's reputation! I am Liu Jiancheng, late stage of Body Tempering. Please grant me..."

"Alright, alright!" Ye Li waved his hand impatiently, his white sleeve casting a blurry shadow under the lamplight.

"Hurry up and get started, don't waste my time."

"Excuse me!" Liu Jiancheng's eyes widened, and after assuming a starting stance, his fist, as big as a sand bowl, tore through the air and slammed straight down.

Looking indifferently at the burly man before him, Ye Li said calmly, "Your punches are too slow."

"What do you mean...?"

The burly man who had thrown the punch with all his might was still in a daze.

"Bang!"

In an instant, with a dull thud, the burly man's cheek slammed into Ye Li's right fist.

His massive body flew off the ground uncontrollably, tracing an arc in the air, and bounced, tumbled, and crashed to the ground like a stone skipping across water!

It crashed into several stalls along the way, and finally, with a loud "boom," it embedded itself hard into a thick stone wall at the street corner, with rubble falling down and dust billowing everywhere.

Jingle Bell

The strong wind lifted the wind chimes on the eaves of the second floor of Yueyangfang, making them ring out with a clear and melodious sound.

Ye Li lightly patted the shoulder of the stunned waiter at Yueyangfang and said, "After he wakes up, make him pay double for the damaged bricks and tiles." Then, he smiled at the girl and said, "Miss Jiang, please. Today, you must savor the signature dishes of Yueyangfang."

Watching the two figures ascend the stairs from afar, Meng Yan crossed his arms and said, "That guy is Ye Li, the young master of the Azure Dragon Gang." "Not bad, with perfected Body Tempering strength and speed, he should be participating in the Grand Competition in a little over two months. When you see him then, remember to spare his life." Du He said, "I heard he has a blue attribute. Save him for when the team battle starts to kill him. Besides a certain amount of merit, there are extra side rewards."

Meng Yan nodded seriously after listening, not caring much about Ye Li.

If that's all there is to it, we'll just spare his life when we have to deal with him. Since the captain said not to kill him, then we won't kill him. "Let's go, let's go," the young man said with a smile, waving his hand. "Let's refine a few blood corpses first, just in case a battle breaks out unexpectedly, so we can be prepared."

The next morning, Ye Li came out of the Treasure Pavilion.

He stared at the packets of medicinal herbs in his hand, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

"So, I, Ye Li, am also living off a rich woman???"

The "Strengthening the Foundation and Nourishing the Vitality Formula" is a body-tempering formula used in the body-tempering realm to increase cultivation and enhance the strength of the flesh and blood.

Simply gather the medicinal herbs according to the prescription, put them into a bath tub, dissolve them in boiling water, and then soak the patient in the bath to improve their health and vitality.

Most importantly, the formula for this medicinal bath can be combined with the Body Tempering Pill and Dragon Tiger Pill.

Such elixirs are extremely rare and highly sought after. Given the strict social hierarchy of ancient times, they were core secrets of powerful families and clans, never to be divulged. Leaking such a formula would result in the extermination of the entire clan.

but……

"Although I cannot give you the formula for the body tempering pills I used, I can give you a few doses of herbs that have already been tempered."

"A friendly price of 500 taels per square meter, do you want it?"

Thinking of what the girl had said yesterday, Ye Li nodded vigorously.

"So what if I'm a kept woman? I'll use my charm to become stronger, hey, that's authentic."

Although Ye Li is a person with great integrity!

But actually, I've had a sensitive stomach since I was little, and occasionally eating soft food can help with digestion, so there's nothing shameful about it.

Carrying the medicinal herbs, Ye Li did not immediately test their effects, but instead headed towards the gang's armory.

The Guangming Grand Competition stipulates that only those who have reached the Houtian Realm or earlier can participate.

Facing fellow cultivators of the same level who had undergone body tempering, Ye Li planned to use his affixes to create a gap between them.

Yes, he planned to generate as many white or green entries as possible before the competition.

The five existing entries are too insecure.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm here again!"

Before reaching the armory, Ye Li raised his hand to greet the guards.

"You brat, take whatever you want!"

The guard rolled his eyes and tossed a key in front of Ye Li.
