Intelligence updates daily; I achieve sainthood in the martial arts of the public service.

Tu Yuan remained calm upon seeing Ruan Xueqing's message.

But only he himself knew how turbulent his heart was.

Tu Yuan walked up to the coffee table.

Open the coffee table drawer, and you'll find a large tote bag inside.

Tu Yuan took the handbag out of the drawer.

The bag contained only three simple items.

A bottle of black lotus ginseng medicinal wine, a white box with a blank surface and no instructions.

The other one is Black Lotus Body Wash Dew.

Black Lotus Red Ginseng Medicinal Wine is a high-grade medicinal wine, which is extremely effective for martial arts training.

It is even more precious than Qinglong No. 9 medicine, and it is a medicinal wine that cannot be bought in pharmacies without proper channels.

Black Lotus Body Wash Dew is a topical ointment used during the martial arts stage, and it is also extremely precious.

It also has a complementary effect when used with Black Lotus Red Ginseng Wine.

It can achieve a result where one plus one is greater than two.

The value of these two items alone, if measured in monetary terms, would be at least 150,000.

But you can't buy it even if you spend 150,000.

Tu Yuan heard that these two items were basically pre-ordered by the martial artists of the Martial Arts Association or other related figures when they were shipped out.

As for the remaining white boxes...

Tu Yuan couldn't understand what it was.

Of course, he knew that Ruan Xueqing would never send him something useless.

He opened the white box, and there was a note inside.

There was a line of text written on it, in Ruan Xueqing's handwriting.

"Tu Yuan, this is a new type of capsule developed by the Qinglong Group, specifically targeting high-end consumers. It's mainly suitable for martial artists at the Martial Arts Master stage. It has just completed drug testing and hasn't been officially launched yet, but its efficacy is exceptionally good, and its drug resistance is also lower. Just take one capsule in the morning and one at night."

After reading Ruan Xueqing's note, Tu Yuan looked at the transparent glass bottle inside the box.

The bottle is about the size of a palm, but the capsules inside look quite large.

It looks about the size of an adult male's little finger.

There seem to be forty or fifty pills in one bottle.

This bottle of capsules may be even more precious than Black Lotus Red Ginseng Wine and Black Lotus Body Wash.

Otherwise, Ruan Xueqing wouldn't have gotten it and given it to him before it was even listed on the market.

Looking at these three items, Tu Yuan estimated their value in his mind; the three items combined were probably worth around 500,000 Federal Credits.

Moreover, these items are basically priceless and unavailable for purchase.

Tu Yuan pursed his lips slightly.

Ruan Xueqing probably worried that he would think the item was too valuable and refuse to accept it, so she put it in this coffee table drawer in advance.

Ruan Xueqing had already visited his home before he returned.

Indeed, Ruan Xueqing knew that she had hidden a spare key behind the electrical box by the door to prevent losing it.

Five hundred thousand, even if his monthly salary is only around twelve thousand after he becomes a full-time employee.

It would take three years and six months of not eating or drinking to gather this much.

"Now I'm truly in the same lineage as my cheapskate father who abandoned his wife and children—living off a woman!"

Tu Yuan gave a self-deprecating smile.

He couldn't refuse the gifts Ruan Xueqing gave him.

He's currently pressed for time and has a heavy workload, so he really needs these top-tier cultivation resources.

Refusing would only seem pretentious.

Thinking of this, Tu Yuan replied to Ruan Xueqing's message.

[Qingqing is so considerate!]

The gift was given before the agreement was made, so I'll accept it!

【Qingqing, I made the agreement with Aunt Zheng myself. Aunt Zheng is doing it for your own good, so don't be angry with her.】

After replying to this message.

Ruan Xueqing replied almost instantly.

They always do things for my own good, but they never care what I think!

They always like to make decisions for me, and I've never really gone against their arrangements, but I want to be in charge of my own feelings!

"Becoming a third-tier martial artist in three years—that's practically an impossible task for them."

Looking at Ruan Xueqing's message, Tu Yuan could feel her distress, anger, and grievance even through the screen.

【Qingqing, I know you might not believe me when I tell you this, but please believe me this time: I can become a third-tier martial artist within three years!】

Tu Yuan's heart was filled with surging emotions.

He realized that he simply couldn't accept Ruan Xueqing being with someone else.

Strength! Strength! And more strength!

His gaze fell on the new type of capsule on the table.

After unscrewing the bottle cap, take out one pill and swallow it directly with the Black Lotus Red Ginseng Medicinal Wine.

The medicinal wine has a spicy taste upon first sip, followed by a slightly sweet aftertaste.

After swallowing the medicinal wine along with the capsule.

Tu Yuan immediately took out the Black Lotus Body Wash, squeezed the ointment into his palm, and rubbed it in.

Following the instructions for using Black Lotus Body Wash, apply the ointment to the chest, abdomen, lower back, inner thighs, and calf muscles.

The ointment was also applied to all the joints of the limbs.

The area where the ointment was applied felt tingly and numb.

It felt as if tiny insects were burrowing into the skin.

At that moment, a fiery heat surged up from Tu Yuan's abdomen.

The heat was immense and surging, and Tu Yuan felt his body temperature rising rapidly.

His entire body skin turned bright red.

Tu Yuan understood that the medicine was taking effect.

He immediately adjusted his breathing rhythm, then assumed a posture and entered a meditative state.

It's already midnight.

In the stillness of the night, only Tu Yuan's heavy breathing could be heard.

And the sounds of purring as it runs to eat cat food and drink water.

Tu Yuan was completely immersed in cultivation.

This training session was the longest Tu Yuan had ever undertaken since he first encountered martial arts.

For a full six hours, Tu Yuan stood still, looking at the clock on the wall.

The hour hand is already pointing to six o'clock.

At this moment, Tu Yuan was still full of energy.

I feel like I have inexhaustible energy.

If it weren't for the soreness in his muscles that made Tu Yuan realize he had reached his limit, he might have been able to hold on for another two or three hours.

"The effects of the medicine are too strong. Using three of them together is even a bit extravagant and wasteful."

"But the results are undeniably fast."

"In six hours, the heat generated by the body-strengthening method circulated through my body for about six hundred cycles."

"With so many cycles, how much progress can we add?!"

Tu Yuan immediately checked his cultivation progress in his mind.

[Thirteenth Edition Body Tempering Method: 65/100 (Transformation into a Martial Artist)]

"4 progress points added!"

"So, if I want to increase the progress by 1 point, it will take 150 weeks?!"

"Without using any external aids, there are twenty-four cycles in a day."

"Based on this calculation, under normal circumstances, it would take me a little over six days to add 1 point of progress."

"I inquired at the banquet and found out that other police officers, when they first became martial arts performers, could only practice about fifteen cycles a day under normal training conditions."

"Looking at it this way, my martial arts talent is actually not bad."

"This black lotus ginseng medicinal wine and black lotus body wash will only last me two weeks."

"The capsules should last for twenty days."

"At this rate, I should be able to break through to the second stage of martial arts after I finish using the capsules!"

"Indeed, cultivation resources are extremely important in the path of martial arts."

"Without that epiphany last night and the things Xiao Qingzi gave me, it would have taken me at least a year and a half to break through to the second stage of martial arts."

"It takes this long to get here, no wonder they set a requirement of three years for the third rank. Without Heavenly Coins, I really have no chance of completing it!"
