After the Navy of Jiang City annihilated the Yellow Dragon Gang, Jiang City was peaceful for a few days. Before the people of Jiang City could catch their breath, there was another bloody storm on the Luo River.
After the Broken Dragon Beach was annihilated, the water bandits became active again. Overnight, they robbed eight merchant ships on the Luo River. When the Navy arrived, they only killed a few water bandits. The Navy Commander, Zhou Bao, was furious. He launched the Navy and successively destroyed two of the water bandits' nests. Unfortunately, the number of soldiers in the Navy was not enough, and there were not enough ships. The Luo River was very wide, so they could only take care of the head but not the tail. Although they dealt a heavy blow to the water bandits, they could not completely wipe them out.
As a result, the entire surface of the Luo River became a stalemate between the water bandits and the Navy. What was different from before was that the Navy had the upper hand now.
In addition to the bandits on the Luo River, the news that River Heart Island was going to build a freight yard was like a heavy bomb that hit the small Jiang City.
The people of Jiang City depended on the river. Everyone's life was inseparable from the Luo River. Naturally, they knew the importance of the Luo River. Since the establishment of Zhonghe Prefecture, there had never been enough freight yards in Jiang City. Jiang City was small in land and had a lot of people. Moreover, it was located between rivers and mountains. It was difficult to even guarantee a place for people to live. How could there be so many places to build a freight yard?
There were only a few freight yards and warehouses in the big ports. They were forcibly built by the County Magistrate of Jiang City after receiving great benefits from several big influences. During that time, Jiang City was full of complaints. The angry people who had their land seized even led the water bandits into the city. Finally, the freight yard was built, but the County Magistrate and his family were killed in the backyard of the County Government by the water bandits who rushed into Jiang City. The group of people who had their land seized also became a member of the water bandits.
With the example of the County Magistrate, the subsequent County Magistrates did not dare to make such a move again. The expansion of the freight yard never happened again.
With the development of Zhonghe City, the water transportation in Jiang City became more and more important. Often in the peak season, the goods in the port would be piled up like a mountain and there would be no place to put them. The rental price of the goods yard would therefore be pushed to a very high level.
Ever since River Heart Island was recaptured, some shrewd merchants and influences in Jiang City began to have ideas about River Heart Island. For example, the unlucky Yellow Dragon Gang wanted to control the harbor of River Heart Island and also wanted to build a goods yard there. In the past, River Heart Island was in the hands of the water bandits. Even the cleverest housewife couldn't cook without rice. Now that River Heart Island had been recaptured by Junior Leopard, the only thing left to do was to burn it.
Therefore, when the news that Jiang City was going to build a goods yard on River Heart Island came out, the whole Jiang City was in an uproar, even diluting the news of the Luo River water bandits' reappearance.
All of a sudden, the whole Jiang City was in turmoil and the situation became complicated again. However, the Navy of River Heart Island was quiet, which was rare.
After these days of chaos, Junior Leopard's goal of raising bandits to gain self-respect had been achieved. He received three letters from the Wu Family in Jiang City. One was from the Wu Family's headquarters, written by the Family Head, Wu Yansheng. In the letter, Wu Yansheng congratulated Junior Leopard on his cultivation reaching Level Four and told him that he was now an Outer Core Elder of the Wu Family. Then, he said that because the situation in Jiang City was just under his control, he had to stay in Jiang City to stabilize the situation and couldn't return to Yunzhou for the ceremony of conferring an Elder. It was better to go back after the situation was completely stabilized. The letter also assured Junior Leopard that the Wu Family had done all the necessary work. Now, his position as the Navy Commander of Jiang City was as stable as Mount Tai. What the County Magistrate and Guard Ding had done in secret had all been resolved by the Wu Family. Along with the letter was the official seal of the Outer Core Elder of the Wu Family. That was to say, from the moment he received the letter, he had become an Outer Core Elder of the Wu Family. Although the ceremony hadn't been carried out, the Wu Family also released this information at the same time. Not only the Wu Family's branches received this information, but all the sects and well-known families in Jianghu also received the same information. The 15-year-old Junior Leopard was the new Elder of the Wu Family.
This news set off a moderate wave in Jianghu. It wasn't surprising that the Wu Family had one more Elder, but if this Elder was only 15 years old, then it was worth everyone's attention.
A 15-year-old with a cultivation of Level Four, Bone-Forging Realm!
Even in the real big sects like Tian Long Taoism that had existed for thousands of years, it was rare to have such a genius!
Now that the Wu Family had one, it would be strange if it didn't cause a sensation!
After this incident, Junior Leopard was completely in the eyes of those big sects and schools in Jianghu. In the martial arts world of Great Jin, he could barely be considered as the number one figure.
Apart from Wu Yansheng's letter, the Supervisor of the Wu Family in Jiang City also sent two other letters. These two letters surprised him.
Because one was from his teacher, Xu Yong, and the other was from little Li Xiu of the Li Family in Pingzhou.
In the letter, Xu Yong expressed his interest in Junior Leopard's growth and encouraged him a few words. But obviously, when he wrote this letter, he didn't know that Junior Leopard's cultivation had already reached Level Four. He even asked Junior Leopard to continue to work hard and reach Level Four as soon as possible so that he could become an Elder of the Wu Family. Apart from that, he also said that everything was fine in Pingzhou. It was just that he hadn't finished his business and had to stay in Pingzhou for a few more days. When he finished his business in Pingzhou, he would go to Jiang City. At that time, he would definitely give Junior Leopard a surprise. As for what the surprise was, he didn't make it clear.
As for Li Xiu's letter, apart from congratulating him, he also made an appointment with Junior Leopard to fight again the next time they met. At that time, he would definitely not be defeated by Junior Leopard like before. Junior Leopard just laughed at this kind of youthful words. Apart from that, there were some words of farewell. At the end of the letter, there was a line that said, "You are now the Navy Commander of Jiang City. In the future, if the Li Family's ships pass through your Jiang City waters, you have to help look after them."
Three letters, three people, three messages.
None of them were bad news. After Junior Leopard received the three letters, he was completely at ease. He completely handed over the affairs of the Navy Camp to Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao.
His cultivation had already reached Level Four and it had been completely consolidated. Such a cultivation, at his age, was already one of the best.
But Junior Leopard understood that his Internal Qi and the Internal Qi in the External Elixir didn't seem to be completely integrated.
Junior Leopard now had two External Elixirs. But he only fully understood the effects of the External Elixir after he got the second External Elixir.
This was because the second External Elixir practiced the same cultivation method as his own, the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique.
The Internal Qi that his body couldn't bear was completely borne by the External Elixir. And once his own Internal Qi was exhausted, the External Elixir could replenish it in time. Of course, this was almost impossible. If his External Elixir's Internal Qi was exhausted, his own body would almost be completely replenished. In this way, a big circulation of Internal Qi would be formed. Therefore, Junior Leopard was now a Level Four Bone-Forging Realm expert. If you really put a Level Four Bone-Forging Realm expert against him, you wouldn't even know how you died.
However, for Junior Leopard, the attribute of his External Elixir's Internal Qi was indeed the same as his body's, but it was too strong. The External Elixir's Internal Qi cultivation was at Level Six, and it had condensed one of the Nine Dragons like Tao Wu. Whether it was the purity or the power of the Internal Qi, it was several levels higher than his body's. In this way, the transformation was not smooth. The External Elixir's Internal Qi and the External Elixir's Internal Qi were used together. The External Elixir's Internal Qi was fine, but the body often couldn't bear it. It was okay during ordinary practice, but if he really met a strong opponent, this would be his huge weakness.
Therefore, for him, the current strength of his body was still not enough. He had to continue to strengthen it, at least until his body could completely bear the high purity and high temperature of the External Elixir's Internal Qi. Therefore, he once again closed his door to practice elixirs.
Anyway, he had all kinds of herbs now. These herbs were transported to his room in batches. Others thought that he was using the herbs to purify his body, so no one dared to disturb him. However, no one knew that he used a whole 10 days to refine all these herbs into Bone-Forging Pills and Tendon-Changing Pills. With these elixirs, in addition to the purification of Tai Chi and Blood Evil Harden Bone Fist, the strength of his body rose sharply. Although it hadn't reached the level where he could bear Level Five Internal Qi, the connection between his body and the External Elixir was perfect.
Once he integrated with the External Elixir, Junior Leopard clearly felt that his physical strength had undergone an earth-shaking change.
It was the strength of the body.
This wasn't caused by the Bone-Forging Realm. After entering the Bone-Forging Realm, his strength compared to the Skin-Toughening Realm had increased by a full five times. This was only in terms of strength. If the strength of the body and the hardness of the bones were added, if he really had a head-on clash with a guy in the Skin-Toughening Realm, he believed that the result would definitely be that under his fist, the opponent would be turned into ashes. There was no doubt about this.
This was only the strength of his body after entering the Bone-Forging Realm.
After this round of integration and strengthening of the Internal Qi, his body strength was once again refined by the Internal Qi of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire. His strength had increased by a full fold compared to when he just entered the Bone-Forging Realm. In this way, his current body strength was already ten times that of the Skin-Toughening Realm.
In other words, he could now lift hammers that were ten times heavier than the previous pair of hammers.
Originally he didn't feel it, but once he thought of this problem, he felt that his scalp was a little numb.
Those were hammers that weighed more than a thousand pounds. Holding two of those hammers in his hands, it was much heavier than the hammer in the hands of the legendary Li Yuanba. When that thing was swung, one would really die if he touched it, and get hurt if he knocked it. However, where could he find hammers that weighed more than a thousand pounds? And it was a pair of hammers!
Because, such hammers not only required the foundation of hammering, but also required high quality materials.
Junior Leopard currently didn't lack high-level blacksmiths. He was now an Elder of the Wu Family. As long as he opened his mouth, there would be a large number of blacksmiths waiting to serve him. But what about materials?
A brilliant blacksmith could compress and purify the forging materials, but they couldn't increase the quality of the materials. Since it was a weapon, even if it was a hammer, it couldn't be too big. Otherwise, even if he could swing it, he wouldn't be able to take it out!
Fortunately, he was now an Elder of the Wu Family and had the right to use some of the Wu Family's materials. He had this authority, it would be a waste not to use it.
