Chapter 148

148 Xu Qi ‘an, Auntie, do you want to use gold or silk to hit your face?

Beating every part of his body? Xu Qi ‘an’s mind was filled with doubts and concerns.

that’s an ancient method, ” Wei Yuan laughed and added, ” times have changed. Martial artists now use medicinal baths to temper their bodies.

Xu Qi ‘an heaved a sigh of relief and continued to ask, “”When I was looking up the information, I found that the description of a rank-5 huajin is roughly as follows:It gives life to every part of the body, allowing it to be controlled like an arm, yet also detached and independent.”

This description was nonsense. The body was a whole, and it was alive. Where did the saying of ‘giving life to every part of the body’ come from?

Xu Qi ‘an thought it was ridiculous and funny.

Wei Yuan sized him up and noticed the slight change in his expression. He shook his head and said, “”As for the specific cultivation method, we’ll talk about it when you’ve reached the right realm. The more you know now, the easier it is for you to overthink and worry.

“Alright, take the pill here. I’ll see if this golden core can help you fill your middle dantian. Not everyone has such an effect. I judged it based on your aptitude, but whether it will work or not, I will only know after seeing it. ”

Wei Yuan was filled with anticipation.

Xu Qi ‘an replied with an ” okay “, opened the brocade box, and took the Golden pill.

He chewed the pill and swallowed it. A few seconds later, his stomach began to heat up, as if a fire was burning.

The fire was burning its stomach, and it was slightly beyond its limit.

Xu Qi ‘an didn’t dare to neglect it. He sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. He circulated his Qi and guided the heat energy to circulate in his body.

hu hu …

A long and powerful breath could be heard in the spacious tea room, like the breath of a giant beast.

Wei Yuan squinted his eyes and observed Xu Qi ‘an quietly.

An hour later, Xu Qi ‘an felt that the heat in his stomach had subsided, and Qi filled his whole body. He was in an unprecedented good condition.

‘Even if my opponent has a copper Gong to protect him, I can still kill a silver Gong in the spirit-forging stage with one slash …’ Xu Qi ‘an was delighted with the changes in her body.

“Not bad, you’re indeed a rare genius of martial arts.” Wei Yuan praised.

He got up and took out a thin book and a picture scroll from the bookcase. He handed them to Xu Qi ‘an. the method of visualization is recorded in the book. You can learn from it. This painting scroll is the thing you want to visualize.”

Xu Qi ‘an unrolled the painting. On it was a giant with his head touching the sky and his feet on the ground. His expression and the lines of his muscles were detailed.

However, the most shocking thing was the unruly aura that seemed to be able to strike the nine Heavens and trample the nine nethers under his feet. It was as if nothing in the world could make him afraid.

“The dharmic form of visualization affects the state of mind of a martial artist. This spirit is imprinted in the painting by the artist. I’ve been choosing for a long time, and I think this Dharma is the most suitable for you.” Wei Yuan didn’t forget to impart knowledge to him.

Xu Qi ‘an put away the book and the painting as if he had received a treasure. He asked tentatively, “”Lord Wei, can I visualize with others? Yes, he’s my second uncle.”

He felt that he should be honest in front of Wei Yuan. He couldn’t be petty, because he couldn’t hide it from the wise eunuch.

“You only need to return the painting three months later. I don’t care what you use it for or who you give it to.” Wei Yuan then reminded, ”

“Every portrait is priceless. If it’s damaged, you’ll lose your salary for the rest of your life.”

Suddenly, Xu Qi ‘an felt that the painting was particularly hot.

Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh … The sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and Nangong qianrou entered with a gloomy face. Her eyes paused on the visualization diagram in Xu Qi ‘an’s hands, and he leaned over to Wei Yuan’s ear and whispered something.

“I know.” Wei Yuan exhaled, his face expressionless, “”When we were playing chess, he hinted to me. Our Emperor can tolerate corrupt officials, but he can’t tolerate others challenging his authority.”

Three of the spies he had planted in the palace had been removed.

Xu Qi ‘an lowered his eyes and pretended not to hear.

wait a little longer, ” Wei Yuan said with a smile. the gold and silk that His Majesty has given you will arrive soon.

At dusk, the palace’s servant delivered the gold and silk that Emperor Yuan jing had rewarded them with. A thousand taels of gold was about sixty Jin, and it was packed in a large box.

Five hundred pieces of silk, each one forty feet long, piled up into two horse carriages.

It was close to the end of the duty, but the night watchman in the Yamen had not left. He looked in surprise at the palace officers pulling the horse carriage into the Yamen.

Xu Qi ‘an, who had received the report, came out to welcome them happily. After the handover, the palace servant left with the empty carriage.

Xu Qi ‘an called song tingfeng and the others to help load the gold and silk onto the carriage borrowed by the Yamen.

“Ningyan, you’ve struck it rich.” Song tingfeng was overjoyed and envious at the same time. He patted Xu Qi ‘an’s shoulder hard.

“I don’t care. You’ll pay for next month’s expenses.”

Xu Qi ‘an looked at Lu Qing and said angrily, “”Nonsense. I don’t even go to brothels.”

He opened the chest and took out four gold ingots. He gave them to Li Yuchun, Min Shan, and Yang Feng.”You guys take it and share it with your brothers.”

Then, he threw another ingot to Lu Qing and said with a smile, “”Constable Lu, don’t decline.”

Lu Qing nodded.

People who practice martial arts are straightforward! Xu Qi ‘an laughed.

“Many thanks, Lord Xu.” The twelve gongs and six Yamen’s fast hands shouted in joy.

The Watchmen who were watching from a distance were envious and wanted to join Xu Qi ‘an’s team. An ingot of gold looked like it was worth five taels, but if it was exchanged for silver, it would be worth forty taels. Which superior would be so generous as to give out 160 taels with a wave of his hand?

“This Reward Silver is …” Li Yuchun asked.

“In the Imperial City, you saved the princess of Lin an, and his Majesty rewarded you. Well, it’s not convenient to talk about it. ” Xu Qi ‘an replied.

Not because of the progress of the Sang Bo case?

Everyone was stunned and suddenly felt that the silver was a little hot in their hands. They felt ashamed to receive it. They had thought that the Emperor was pleased with the progress of the Sang Bo case and had rewarded Xu Qi ‘an.

Xu Qi ‘an waved his hand. thank you for your hard work these few days. I will never treat my colleagues unfairly.

Lu Qing smiled and glanced at the officials behind him, as well as the gongs, and found that their expressions had changed slightly.

She smiled happily.

“Where’s miss Caiwei?” Xu Qi ‘an looked around.

“Maybe he went back to the Directorate of Celestials.”

No, she must be having fun in some restaurant again … Xu Qian said.

After the duty was distributed, the copper gongs escorted the reward to the Xu Manor.

Xu Qi ‘an rode on the horse, thinking that with this gold, even if he left the capital in the future, his family would have enough silver to make up for the losses in the silver Tax case.

Auntie could happily buy jewelry and wear new clothes. Ling Ying could often go to the guiyue restaurant to eat. Lingyue’s dowry … Well, lingyue was still young and was not in a hurry to get married.

In the future, when the second son entered the officialdom, he would not lack money to make connections. Second uncle, who was poor, didn’t have to spend all his money to subsidize the household and could go to the Imperial Academy a few more times.

Auntie had probably never seen so much silk in her life … Sigh, my hands are a little itchy. Should I use silk or gold to hit her face when I get home … Xu Qi ‘an was in a good mood.
