Su Yang left Rejuvenation Hall. He had already obtained the list of ingredients required for the Boiling Blood Medicinal Bath.
There were two main ingredients, the ninth-grade Blood Spirit Grass and the heart blood of a ninth-grade demonic beast. The other secondary ingredients were not considered precious.
Of course, these two main herbs were not too precious to Su Yang now.
Then, Su Yang went to the Martial Suppression Division to find Zhang Zhiwu.
"Congratulations on your promotion, Lord Su." Zhang Zhiwu had a complicated expression on his face. In the blink of an eye, Su Yang had become his superior.
"Commander Zhang, how about Zhang Hu take the position of Weapon Master of Spring Wind Hall?" Su Yang sat in the main seat and spoke without hiding anything.
"It's up to you, sir." Zhang Zhiwu had no right to refuse.
"I still need ten more copies of the things recorded on this list."
Zhang Zhiwu took a look and agreed, "I'll get someone to take it now."
"Hmm, how many contribution points do I need?"
"You don't have to worry about these contribution points, I'll do it."
Sometimes, when you become stronger, things that you couldn't touch when you were weak would automatically come to you.
Soon, ten portions of the Boiling Blood Medicinal Bath recipe were carried up and placed in a large box.
"I'll take this." Su Yang did not reject Zhang Zhiwu's goodwill. Human relations were like a pyramid. Some were at the top, while others were at the bottom. The more stable the cornerstone at the bottom, the higher it could be.
Su Yang did not promise anything. He only said that he would accept this thing. Zhang Zhiwu clearly lost something, but he still sent Su Yang away with a smile.
This smile was not faked. If Su Yang did not accept it, he might not be as happy as he was now.
The trip went smoothly. Su Yang brought the things back to Rejuvenation Hall and handed them to Liu Yurou.
"Lord Su, so fast?" Liu Yurou was a little surprised. He had only left for a short while, and he had already gathered all of them?
"Yes... I took it from the Martial Suppression Division."
Liu Yurou understood. "But Lord Su, these herbs might take three days to refine. You can come back three days later to get them."
"Alright." Su Yang nodded and then took out a thousand taels of silver and placed it on the counter, "This is the money for the medicine. Don't refuse, or else I won't come to collect the medicine."
Su Yang also paid according to the market price. It might be a little more, but not too much. This was the value of the pill formula, the value of the other party refining it. Compared to the pill formula and alchemy skills, the medicinal ingredients were simply nothing.
Liu Yurou saw that Su Yang was determined, so she didn't refuse and accepted the money with a smile, "Lord Su is so generous. I will thank you on behalf of the people of Pingshan City."
"What do you mean?"
"My grandfather will always treat some people who can't afford to see a doctor, but the medicinal herbs also have a cost. With your money, we can treat many people."
Liu Yurou naturally told the truth. This was what the grandfather and grandson did, so what was there to say?
After hearing this, Su Yang took out another ten thousand taels of silver and said respectfully, "Doctor Liu is a benevolent doctor and cannot be forced by money. I have been respectfully addressed by the people, so I should also do my part."
...
After making all the necessary arrangements, Su Yang returned to the inner courtyard of Spring Wind Hall.
It was already late and it was time to rest.
...
The next day, Su Yang packed up some things he needed and left. With the storage ring, it was very convenient to bring anything.
It was already noon when they returned to the county capital. After doing everything, Su Yang began to swing his sword.
Since he could create body-tempering sword moves after sword intent level 30, he had to quickly improve it.
Every time the sword intent increased by one level, the proficiency would increase by 1,000 on top of the previous level. He could swing 10,000 swords every day, so it would take some time for him to reach level 30.
If he could obtain the Boiling Blood Medicinal Bathing Powder three days later and improve his physique, this time could be shortened.
After soaking in the Boiling Blood Medicinal Bathing Powder for ten days, his body's strength would rise to the ninth grade of External Refinement. The strength of his body increased, and the time he could swing his sword could be extended, and his speed would also increase.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. For the past few days, Su Yang had been waving his sword in his courtyard, and His sword intent was already halfway to level 19.
Previously, his sword intent covered a range of 100 meters, but now it covered a full 300 meters.
Ye Jiang came a few times and was very puzzled when he saw Su Yang's actions.
At first, it was just a casual chat, but the last time, Ye Jiang brought a piece of news: A third-grade evil cultivator appeared in Yonghe City. Ma Wu was injured, and the other party seemed to have taken something away.
However, after this situation appeared, the situation in Tianfeng County became even more tense. The surroundings of Yonghe City had been turned upside down. However, after this incident, there was no trace of the evil cultivator.
Su Yang did not have much opinion on this. Strength was everything. After feeling the emergence of a higher level of combat strength, Su Yang only wanted to increase the level of his sword intent as soon as possible. At that time, no matter if they were a third-grade evil cultivator or a grandmaster evil cultivator, they would all be killed with a sword.
After three days, Yang returned to Ping Shan City as promised and took the Boiling Blood Medicinal Bath Powder. This time, he didn't stay in Pingshan City. He rode on the Scarlet Blood Horse given by the Patrol Department and returned to the county city within two hours.
That night, Su Yang took out a wooden bucket, put boiling water in it, and then poured a bowl of medicine into it.
After waiting for a while, the water in the wooden bucket turned red, and a scorching aura spread like a volcanic crater.
Su Yang did not hesitate and took off his clothes to enter. As soon as he entered, the extremely hot medicinal effect made him grimace uncontrollably.
Hot! It was too hot!
His entire body felt like it was being soaked in boiling water. His skin was burning, and even his flesh was burning. Even though Su Yang's physique had been strengthened, he still couldn't take it for a moment.
Fortunately, in the next moment, he felt a warm and comfortable feeling.
The strengthening of one's constitution was a process of destruction and repair. After enduring it, there would not be much of a problem.
After an hour, the effect of the medicine was completely gone. Su Yang got up from the wooden bucket and moved a little. Then, his bones exploded.
Now, his physique was very close to ninth grade. Su Yang estimated that after soaking in the medicinal bath for another one or two times, he would definitely become a ninth-grade external refiner.
Su Yang was more satisfied. Unfortunately, this kind of medicinal bath could only be soaked once a day and needed time for the body to recover.
The next day, Su Yang was waving his sword in the courtyard when a guard came to inform him that the examiner assessment had ended yesterday. He was immediately instructed to gather at the martial arts arena to organize manpower and officially commence the inspection.
When Su Yang went to the martial arts field, there was already a crowd.
At a glance, there were only several people, but they were all in the fifth grade. In some small cities, such as Pingshan City, this level of cultivation was enough to dominate them.
After greeting Ye Jiang, Su Yang also waited in front.
Han Qiu glanced around and said after confirming that everyone was there, "Next, 20 of you will be assigned to the Four Directions Inspector, while the other eight will remain in the Patrol Division."
"I'm sure you know the purpose of the Patrol Division: To put it simply, investigate everything!"
"Everyone here, I don't want to see you bow to your desires and greed. I don't want my sword to fall on your heads one day."
Han Qiu was no longer as friendly as before. A murderous aura emanated from his body, and it was unknown how many lives he had taken.
Under the impact of such an aura, Su Yang and the others were fine, but the fifth-grade inspectors all turned pale.
