Chapter 897: Chapter 412: Great Reduction of Body Toxins, Advancement in Yang Meridians, Purified Body and Refined Bones, Capturing the Ruthless Fiend!

Several amiable individuals inquired about Lei Chong and Xu Shaoqian’s performance. Li Xian spoke truthfully. Although Lei Chong bore a grudge against him, Li Xian did not secretly disparage Lei Chong when discussing him.

His words were quite complimentary. At yesterday’s banquet, Lei Chong’s performance was commendable, truly leaving an impression on "Tao Xiangrong." As for "Xu Shaoqian," he hailed from a prestigious family, possessed a distinguished identity, and his Martial Arts were exceptional. He was indeed one of the most outstanding individuals.

Li Xian followed the flow and flattered them, slightly exaggerating their strategic maneuvers and interactions with various people. His demeanor impressed Tao Xiangrong, who applauded and praised him.

Upon hearing, everyone was filled with admiration, believing that Xu Shaoqian would win the beauty’s favor. Xu Shaoqian happened to pass by, pretending not to hear, but secretly delighted, thinking that accompanying Li Xian to the banquet last night was somewhat advantageous.

Someone remarked, "If Xu Shi becomes General Xu someday and truly wins the beauty’s favor, he would indeed be a child of destiny, envied by all."

Another added, "Having a beauty in one’s arms and capturing her favor is a rare fortune. I heard rumors that the courtesan of Bi Xiao Long Dream Tower possesses a special token. Holding this token grants considerable privileges within Bi Xiao Long Dream Tower."

...

In the following days, Li Xian routinely carried out his patrol duties. He traversed streets and alleys, patrolled mountains and guarded the city. Despite occasional minor disturbances, no major incidents occurred.

Every day, he consumed Essence Soup to absorb the essence within his body. He practiced Dubhe Saber Technique, the Bitter Endurance Body Scripture, and Stone-Pushing Palm Technique during evening training. His progress was visible daily. Gold Appraisal Guards who knew Li Xian saw him expertly practicing these techniques, displaying a unique rhythm, and couldn’t help but admire and be amazed.

They also attempted to practice "Dubhe Saber Technique," "Bitter Endurance Body Scripture," and "Stone-Pushing Palm Technique," yet repeatedly faced setbacks and felt exhausted, eventually giving up and switching to other martial arts.

Among them, Zhou Zheng, Li Jian, Chang Zilong, Yang Buyan, and Shen Langyang, with ordinary backgrounds, coveted the Gold Guard Martial Arts that could be exchanged after mastering the "Dubhe Saber Technique," "Bitter Endurance Body Scripture," and "Stone-Pushing Palm Technique." Thus, they subtly sought advice from Li Xian.

Li Xian did not hide his skills and would summon the five during evening training sessions, teaching them martial arts experience alongside his practice. The Dubhe Saber Technique involves using the body as an axis; the Stone-Pushing Palm Technique focuses on insight; the Bitter Endurance Body Scripture requires enduring hardship.

The five had promising talent and were willing to endure hardship to learn. Very quickly, they began making progress in the three martial arts.

Speaking of daily patrols.

It’s not exhausting, yet exhausting, but walking proudly through the streets, gaining respect from passersby, occasionally being embraced by beautiful ladies, and bringing joy to the Gold Appraisal Guards.

One day, due to Gold Appraisal Guard duties, Li Xian went to the county government office to hand over with County Captain Kong Li. Kong Li had reluctantly recovered enough to stand briefly. Upon seeing Li Xian, the situation had changed.

Though Kong Li was muddy-faced, he wasn’t muddled in status. He held a status similar to Li Xian, yet as part of the Gold Appraisal Guards, he wasn’t under Kong Li’s jurisdiction. Kong Li couldn’t control Li Xian, whereas Li Xian could easily cause him trouble.

Kong Li forced a smile, which looked rather awkward, and had to salute Li Xian respectfully, his heart full of resentment and anger. Li Xian saw Kong Li’s discomfort but simply smiled indifferently, pretending he hadn’t seen Kong Li before.

Yet in his heart harbored murderous intent, considering him a mortal enemy. Should opportunity arise, Kong Li would surely take revenge, trying his best to retaliate. Kong Li’s capability was average, his strength was underwhelming, and his temperament was rash and aggressive, not a match for Li Xian.

However, behind Kong Li stood the influence of the Kong family. Though not a major clan in Jade City, their strength and foundation were formidable. This matter should be approached with caution.

Li Xian had gained momentum but ultimately remained alone. Though he appeared to be doing well, danger lurked behind the scenes, far from trivial. Princess An Yang, Lei Chong, Kong Li... he had antagonists aplenty.

Fortunately, he could maneuver through it.

And so, one day followed another.

In the blink of an eye, mid-to-late May arrived, marking half a month since Li Xian assumed his formal position as a constable. Heaven rewards diligence, and through daily practice, Dubhe Saber Technique, Bitter Endurance Body Scripture, and Stone-Pushing Palm Technique reached "Great Success."

Only I Have a Heart Skill, Five Viscera Avoiding Dross and Gathering Yang Scripture, Finger-Flashing Golden Light made certain progress.

[Bone Shaping and Embryo]

[Skill Level: 21/100]

The bone mass has transformed, giving him a refined and graceful appearance, truly a delight.

Li Xian’s military merit had accumulated [105] points. Lei Drum’s Killing God Formation skill level [18], commanding eight to form a formation and confront enemies was no longer a challenge.

The weather gradually grew hotter, as Li Xian reminisced about a year ago, precisely in May, when Flower Cage Sect was broken, and Li Xian nearly died under Jade Girl Zhao Ranran’s sword. He endured hardship at the lake bottom for a long time before narrowly escaping death.

Afterward, he traveled the roads and practiced medicine, later captured by Princess An Yang and dispatched to Jade City to struggle and strive for half a year.

The past year seemed so long. Looking back, the gains and losses, the hardships, vividly transformed into pure motivation, supporting his climb to the pinnacle of Martial Arts.

Gold Appraisal Guard is one of Jade City’s Thirty-Two True Guards. Jade City’s laws were complete, and the people lived in stability. But given Jade City’s vastness, how could it remain entirely calm?

On May 24, there was a grand capture of villainous forces.

Li Xian was drafted to participate. He was unclear about the details, only roughly heard from colleagues that a Red List Fugitive of the Second Realm caused turmoil, killing eight Yu People and injuring fifteen constables. It was truly atrocious, with heinous crimes. Jade City citizens protected by the law, such disorder caused by villains has forced Gold Appraisal Guards to impose strict punishment.

The news of the crime had been blocked, inaccessible to ordinary people. The Gold Appraisal Guard had already secretly mobilized.
