An honest person who took a beating could increase his cultivation speed.
Another person who liked to take advantage of others could increase his cultivation speed by devouring other people's inner strength.
Even though he had swallowed the pills, his cultivation speed had increased tremendously.
However, the silver didn't come out of nowhere.
One hundred thousand taels was not a small sum.
That Flame Powder cost five thousand taels per pack.
But with that one palm, his Ultimate Hard Body Skill increased his cultivation speed by five percent.
Although there was a certain risk, it was within an acceptable range.
When he thought of this, Jiang Chen's heart couldn't help but heat up.

When a person dies, the light goes out, and grudges turn to ashes.
Looking at the standing Zheng Sanxiong, Jiang Chen did not want to leave his corpse in the wilderness.
But when Jiang Chen lifted Zheng Sanxiong, a jade pendant fell from his lapel.
"Why does it look so familiar?"
Picking up the jade pendant, Jiang Chen hurriedly took out a similar jade pendant from his pocket.
He could not help but say in shock, "Why are these two jade pendants so similar?"
The mission could not be completed, but the jade pendant had to be returned intact.
To this day, Jiang Chen still remembered the words of the deacon who assigned the mission.
It was rumored that this jade pendant was refined by Hall Master Zhang of the House of Treasures, so why would Zheng Sanxiong have one?
Or maybe the two jade pendants were just similar, but had different functions.
Burying his doubts in his heart, Jiang Chen buried Zheng Sanxiong.
Seeing that the afterglow of the setting sun was fading, Jiang Chen hurried back to Lincheng County.
This experience made Jiang Chen realize many of his shortcomings.
For example, his lack of combat experience, his lack of understanding of people's hearts, and his lack of movement techniques.
Fortunately, they didn't make a big mistake this time, and they could be considered to have safely survived this crisis.
However, Jiang Chen put movement techniques on the agenda.
His hard body skill had reached Body Refining Stage Four, so becoming an Inner Sect disciple was a foregone conclusion.
According to the Tiangang school's rules, once one became an inner disciple, one could choose three techniques for free.
Most people would continue with the previous three martial arts and obtain a deeper level of cultivation.
But he was different.
As long as one was at the entry level of the cultivation technique, they would be able to cultivate on their own.
Therefore, it meant that he could choose three new cultivation techniques.
The Seven Spirits Gang was a big gang in Fuzhou.
If they were to find out that he had killed one of their men, they would definitely go all out to seek revenge.
However, this was Chan Province. Fuzhou was thousands of miles away from here.
Half a year.
This was Jiang Chen's conservative estimate.
If the Seven Spirits Gang had spies, they might have done it a month earlier.
Therefore, this half a year was extremely important to Jiang Chen.
"The reality is the same no matter where the world is."
Compared to when she had just come back, the Jiang family's gate was very lively now.
"Third Master, look, the Third Master is back."
"The Third Master is back, which means that the thief has been killed."
"Congratulations! Congratulations! Our Lincheng County will be able to regain its peace."
"Third Master, thank you for your hard work. In order to thank the Third Master for his great contribution to our Lincheng County, the Li family is willing to give you three hundred taels of silver."
"That's right, in order to thank the Third Master for his contribution to our Lincheng County, the Zhou family is also willing to give you three hundred taels of silver."
“.....”
Looking at the flattery around him, Jiang Chen casually dealt with it.
"Third Master, you are finally back. Master and Second Master are waiting for you inside."
Jiang Chen had just entered the gate when the butler, Jiang Yong, came to him with a smile.
"Old butler, what made you so happy?"
Jiang Chen asked curiously.
"The Third Master shocked our Lincheng County today. I benefited from it, so I am naturally happy."
The old butler led the way in front and said, "Just now, the county magistrate came to visit with his daughter. This is one happy thing after another."
"It is indeed a happy thing."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
The damaged hall had now been repaired.
As soon as Jiang Chen came in, he saw Jiang Cheng sitting in the seat of honor.
On the right side of his father was a middle-aged man with a three-inch golden beard.
This person was the county magistrate of Lincheng County, and also the highest official in Lincheng County.
"Chen 'er is back. Why don't you pay your respects to the county magistrate?"
Seeing Jiang Chen's return, Jiang Cheng's heart that had been hanging in the air finally relaxed.
"Greetings, county magistrate."
Jiang Chen was about to bow.
The county magistrate hurriedly stood up and held Jiang Chen's arm, saying, "The Third Master is so brave. I, as the county magistrate, will have to rely on you in the future."
"You flatter me, county magistrate. I don't deserve it."
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, but looked at the thin old man behind the county magistrate.
Officials above the county magistrate of Xia Country would have a guard by their side. This was the national policy of Xia Country.
"The Third Master is an outer disciple of the Tiangang school. Now, even a thief at the fifth level of the Body Tempering Realm is no match for you."
The county magistrate laughed and said, "I think when you return to the Tiangang school, you will definitely become an inner disciple."
"With such strength and identity, it is more than enough to suppress a county."
Hearing the county magistrate's words, Jiang Chen roughly understood what the county magistrate meant.
The inner disciples of the Tiangang school were already qualified to be tributes.
They could either protect a side or guard a place.
"As long as the county magistrate is around, Lincheng County can be as stable as a mountain."
Jiang Chen wouldn't respond to this. He wasn't a hothead.
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the county magistrate returned to his seat with a calm expression, but didn't say anything else.
Jiang Chen looked around and asked curiously, "Dad, where did my second brother go?"
Ever since he entered the house, he hadn't seen his second brother, Jiang Wei.
"Your second brother is accompanying the county magistrate's daughter. Don't disturb them if you have nothing to do."
Jiang Cheng gave Jiang Chen a look.
"Haha, my second brother has finally made it."
Jiang Chen laughed heartily when he saw this.
"Little brat, don't talk nonsense. Nothing is set in stone yet."
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at Jiang Chen, then said, "Our family has many things to do now. Your second brother isn't free. Go to the Proud Sect and see if there is anything you can help with."
The county magistrate naturally heard the conversation between the father and son.
However, at this moment, he had an unperturbed look on his face.
"Then, county magistrate, I'll take my leave."
Jiang Chen said and turned to leave.
"In-law, I'm sorry. My youngest son likes to talk nonsense. You're a magnanimous person. Don't take it to heart."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Jiang Chen staggered and almost fell to the ground.
His family's business was the same as the Upper World. It was considered a low-class business.
Although he was doing well in Lincheng County, he wasn't liked by the county magistrate.
Moreover, his father was known as the number one expert in Lincheng County. That was because others didn't know that the skinny old man next to the county magistrate was the strongest in Lincheng County.
Of course, this was in the past. Now, the strongest person was Jiang Chen.
Otherwise, the county magistrate wouldn't have paid him a visit and let his second brother have a "tryst" with his daughter.
If this was in the past, it would have been impossible.
