I am dying of old age, and I have awakened to the character of longevity.

Soon, Liang Zhi and Wang Xiang brought Li Shaoyun, whose face was bruised and swollen, to the courtyard to see Xie An, who was practicing martial arts.

Li Shaoyun had been in this place for a full half a year, and this was only the second time he had seen this new deacon. Although he felt somewhat resentful, he was more terrified and scared. Immediately, he respectfully said, "Second Deacon, I..."

Pa.

Seeing that Xie An was focused on practicing his saber technique and didn't seem to care about Li Shaoyun at all, Wang Xiang kicked Li Shaoyun's leg, "Stealing martial arts is a great taboo. How dare you stand and talk to the Second Deacon? Kneel down!"

Seeing Xie An's saber technique was powerful and imposing, Li Shaoyun was terrified. He quickly knelt down, "Second Deacon, I'm sorry. I know I made a big mistake, please forgive me!"

Xie An didn't answer and continued to practice the Fuyang Saber Technique.

The whistling saber wind swept around, stirring up fallen leaves on the ground, scaring Li Shaoyun so much that his hair stood on end. He vaguely felt that this masked deacon was cold, fierce, and unstoppable, and could kill him at any moment with a single saber strike.

Not to mention Li Shaoyun, even Wang Xiang and Liang Zhi, the two strong men who had practiced martial arts, were deeply shocked by Xie An's fierce saber technique.

The cold and strong saber wind pressed against their faces, as if they were standing in front of the gates of hell.

After practicing the entire set of Fuyang Saber Technique, when Xie An sheathed his saber, he suddenly struck the ground with it, making a loud "bang" and splitting a four-meter-long gully in the bluestone brick ground.

The strong saber wind made Li Shaoyun's cheeks tremble, and the splashed gravel hit his face, causing him great pain. The feeling of being close to death made him urinate directly, collapse to the ground, tremble, and beg for mercy frantically.

"Please, Deacon, spare my life, I was wrong..."

Clang.

Xie An sheathed his long saber, the sound piercing the eardrums. He stood in front of Li Shaoyun with his hands behind his back, looked down at him, and said in a suppressed voice.

"I sentence you to confinement for several months to reflect on your mistakes. Do you have any objections?"

Li Shaoyun was stunned, looking at Xie An in disbelief.

He thought this new deacon was going to kill him.

He didn't expect to only be confined for a few months. Although it wasn't clear how many months, it was already a great kindness...

He simply couldn't believe it.

After a while, Li Shaoyun recovered and kowtowed on the ground with a "bang", "Thank you, Deacon! I have no objections."

Xie An said, "After a few months, you will be a nominal deputy deacon. I will give you a handwritten letter, allowing you to use martial arts resources."

Wang Xiang was shocked. He had always felt that Xie An disliked Li Shaoyun and planned to report to the Gongtang to severely punish Li Shaoyun. He didn't expect it to end like this?

After Li Shaoyun left, Xie An turned to stare at Wang Xiang, "Wang Xiang, if I had struck your head with this saber just now, what would have happened?"

Pa ta.

Wang Xiang, who was in a daze, was so scared that he wet himself and said in a panic, "Sir, please forgive me, I don't know what mistake I made..."

"Then stand here and think carefully. Leave when you figure it out."

Liang Zhi was a sensible person and already knew the reason. He went up and kicked Wang Xiang, scolding him angrily, "You're confused. How can you be so ignorant when you're begging for food under the Second Deacon? He just stole your martial arts, and you want to report it to the Xiangzhu and the Gongtang? Have you thought about the consequences?"

Hiss!

Although Wang Xiang was reckless, he wasn't stupid. Following Liang Zhi's train of thought, he understood after a little thought.

If the Xiangzhu and the Gongtang knew and handled it impartially, the Second Deacon would also be recorded with a mistake...

Pa!

Wang Xiang immediately slapped himself hard, seemingly intentionally doing it for Xie An in the living room to see, "I am reckless and stupid, and almost made things difficult for the Deacon. The Deacon's punishment of confining Li Shaoyun for several months is the most appropriate."

Sure enough, Xie An's voice sounded in the living room, "A promising child. Later, have Li Shao bring you a hundred taels of silver. You take the majority, and distribute the rest to the brothers who know about this matter. Let's just let this matter pass."

"Yes." Wang Xiang also kowtowed in agreement, but in his heart, he felt that this Second Deacon was more and more thoughtful and his power was unpredictable. He didn't dare to offend him at all. What's more, the Second Deacon had promised him the majority, so he was happy and didn't feel any resentment.

"I'm tired, you all leave."

As a voice came from the living room, Liang Zhi and the two left the other courtyard one after another, but in their hearts, they became more and more respectful and fearful of this deacon. He really had a taste of unpredictable heavenly power.

As for Li Shaoyun, he only felt that he had escaped death this time. Not only was he very grateful to the Second Deacon, but he also didn't dare to have any crooked thoughts about this Second Deacon.

In the living room.

Xie An looked at Li Shaoyun's departing back and sighed slightly.

"Madam Li..."

If it weren't for that, Li Shaoyun's matter today wouldn't have been so easy to resolve.

Sweeping away the distracting thoughts, Xie An took out the few silver coins he had and went out to buy Tiger Meat Essence Soup.

Tiger Skin Essence Soup is a common medicinal supplement for forging the skin and membranes, and it is relatively common. It can be bought in the Blood Ridge Black Market. However, Tiger Meat Essence Soup is relatively scarce due to its craftsmanship and materials. It is usually not sold in the Blood Ridge Black Market and must be purchased from the hall in Shuideng Town.

After running an errand, Xie An spent eighty taels to buy a set of Tiger Meat Essence Soup. Then, he happily returned to the Black Market courtyard, started boiling water for a medicinal bath, and prepared to break through to the Refined Flesh Realm.

In the next three days, Xie An spent most of his time taking medicinal baths in the courtyard to break through. He spent the rest of his time practicing the Nourishing Life Technique. It is said that with the blessing of the fairy treasure soaked in water, Xie An's Nourishing Life Technique advanced by leaps and bounds.

Although the days were boring, Xie An enjoyed the gradual growth of his strength and martial arts.

Until the evening of three days later, Xie An had just finished his second medicinal bath when Zhang Lin knocked on the courtyard door.

"Old brother, come out quickly. The Xiangzhu ordered the two of us to go to the Chen Family Mansion immediately to encircle and suppress the Plum Blossom Monster!"
