“But now that you have mastered the Kanshui conception, how should I treat you?”

Luo Anning held his chin with both hands, looking worried.

She came to see Su Mu for something else, but as soon as she arrived in Nancheng, she saw Su Mu repelling He Guangshao with the Kanshui artistic conception.

She was stunned at that time.

That’s why it took so long to come look for Su Mu.

She had been digesting it for a while, but it still felt a little unbelievable.

How do you grasp the artistic conception?
She also practiced the martial arts of the Kanshui lineage, and now she has mastered two sword styles. It can be said that she is extremely talented.

But as for the artistic conception of Kanshui, she still hadn’t even touched the edge.

She has a Kanshui artistic conception painting at home.

She knew too well how difficult it was to comprehend the artistic conception.

Su Mu actually comprehended the artistic conception of Kanshui. His understanding was much better than hers.

In the past, she thought that if Su Mu was eliminated by the Taiping Division, then she would bring Su Mu to the Luo family as a worshiper.

But it doesn’t work now.

With the cultivation level of the Tempering Body Realm and mastering the Kanshui artistic conception, now if Su Mu wants to join any family, that family will open its doors to welcome him.

But that’s not a problem.

The Luo family is already the number one family in Wuling City, and no one can offer better conditions than the Luo family.

The problem is that Su Mu doesn’t need to rely on any family now.

Having mastered the Kanshui realm, even if he could not cultivate to the fourth level of body tempering before the age of twenty, the Taiping Division would never eliminate him.

With such understanding, even if his aptitude is slightly inferior, it will not be a big problem for the Taiping Division.

As long as there are enough resources, that pile can also bring him to the blood exchange stage.

Once Su Mu reaches the blood exchange realm, coupled with his mastery of the Kanshui realm, he will definitely be considered a good player among the Taiping commanders.

With the Taiping Division as his backer, does he still need to rely on those families?

Everyone knows that the Taiping Division is independent of the imperial court system and has an exclusive and respected status.

Even though the Taiping Commander was only of the seventh rank, he could meet the city lord without bowing.

Except for the Taiping Division, they were almost not subject to any control from anywhere else.

So even though the Taiping Division is very dangerous, there are still people who continue to want to join it. Even people like Luo Anning are determined to join the Taiping Division.

Luo Anning had no doubt what Su Mu would choose.

But if this happened, all her previous plans would be ruined.

“Forget it. I don’t want to think about it anymore.”

After thinking for a while with a sad face, Luo An Ning shook his head and said, “You have already mastered the artistic conception, I have to work harder, and I can’t let you surpass me in cultivation.

I’m leaving. When we meet again next time, I will definitely understand the artistic conception of Kanshui!

Even if I can’t comprehend the artistic conception, I have to break through to the blood exchange realm.”

Luo Anning is full of fighting spirit.

“Originally I came to you this time to help you move up a position, but now that’s not necessary. Let’s work hard together to become the Taiping Commander. I will definitely be your senior sister!”

As she spoke, she stood up, waved at Su Mu, and pretended to jump onto the wall.

“and many more.”

Su Mu hurriedly called her, “Why did you come to see me today?”

“I’ll move you to another position.”

Luo An Ning stopped what he was doing, turned around and explained, “You don’t know, the He Mansion was set on fire a few days ago, and the He family took advantage of the situation to force my father to make a lot of concessions. I’m afraid that South City will become the He family’s world in the future.

You are not on good terms with the He family, so it is not appropriate for you to stay in Nancheng Division, so I helped you with some lobbying.”

Luo Anning is such a good girl!
Su Mu secretly gave Luo An Ning a thumbs up in his heart.

“But it’s not necessary now. You have already comprehended the Kanshui realm. It will be no problem for you to become the Taiping Commander in the future. There is no need for you to hang around in the outer city anymore…”

“I think.”

Su Mu hesitated for a moment, then said seriously, “There is no distinction between high and low positions. Before I officially become the Taiping Commander, I want to do more for the people in the outer city.

So, Sister Ning, this is possible.”

Luo Anning smiled happily when Su Mu called her Sister Ning.

“Originally, I wanted you to be the head of the police force in Xicheng Division.”

Luo An Ning smiled brightly, “But I didn’t know that you have already comprehended the artistic conception. It would be a waste of your talent if you continue to be a police chief.

Sima Xu Guang of the Dongcheng Division is old and recently suffered a relapse of an old injury, so he is about to retire.

By the way, how is your practice of “Tianlong Eight Sounds Muscle Tempering Method” going?

If you have already entered the Tempering Muscles Realm, I can recommend you to be the Sima of the East City Division.”

Is there such a good thing?

Su Mu was somewhat pleasantly surprised, he didn’t know how to praise Luo An Ning.

His expression became serious and Su Mu swung his arms violently.

Snapped!
There was a crisp sound, like the crack of a whip.

Temper the muscles!

Luo Anning showed an expression of “as expected” on his face.

“You wait for my news.”

After saying this, she jumped onto the wall and hurried away.

She’s a very polite girl, but she doesn’t like to go through doors.

Su Mu sat back down only after Luo An Ning’s figure had completely disappeared.

He thought about it and called up the system panel.

[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Ghostwriter/Taipingsi Baiyi (Ninth Rank)]

[Points: 2000 points]

[Realm: The third realm of body tempering (skin tempering extreme realm, flesh tempering extreme realm)]

[Kung Fu: Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method (Minor Success/+)…]

[Martial arts: Kaishan sword technique (not yet entry level/+), Kanshui artistic conception (minor success), Xunfeng artistic conception (minor success), archery (entry level/+)]

After today, the points finally reached 2,000.

During the following days in Daxing Mountain, he had been refraining from using his points to practice his martial arts.

After such a long period of patience, I finally saved up 2,000 points.

His body tempering realm has not been improved for too long.

When Su Mu fought with He Guangshao in the Nanchengsi Yamen before, he also discovered his own shortcomings.

That is because his body tempering level is too low.

Although artistic conception has the power to transform decay into magic, it also needs sufficient power to support it.

If he was also at the Bone Tempering Stage when he used the move he used on He Guangshao, even if He Guangshao didn’t die, his arm would have been crippled, and he would have had no chance of escaping unscathed.

But he had only made some progress in strengthening his muscles, and his strength was far behind He Guangshao’s, so he only made He Guangshao retreat a few steps.

Of course, he didn’t use his full strength at that time, at least he didn’t use the Xunfeng state of mind.

But who can guarantee that He Guangshao has given his all?
In general, his body tempering realm is still too low, which greatly limits the power of his artistic conception.

Therefore, you have to spend more time on tempering your body.

“Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Technique, come on.”

Su Mu solemnly clicked on the system panel.

…………

[Name: Su Mu] [Identity: Ghostwriter/Taiping Division White-clothed (Ninth Rank)]

[Points: 0 points]

[Realm: The third realm of body tempering (skin tempering extreme realm, flesh tempering extreme realm)]

[Kung Fu: Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method (Great Mastery)…]

[Martial arts: Kaishan sword technique (not yet mastered), Kanshui artistic conception (minor mastery), Xunfeng artistic conception (minor mastery), archery (mastery)]

early morning.

After Su Mu got up, he felt at a loss.

It turns out that I had the job of a constable, and every day was busy and fulfilling.

Now that I have been suddenly deprived of my position, I am a little uncomfortable with all of a sudden being idle.

“Damn He Guangshao!”

Su Mu now understood Qi Ting’s helplessness.

The position you have worked hard for is not worth a word from others.

With just one sentence, all his efforts over the past year were wiped out. Not to mention being a captain of police, he didn’t even have the identity of a constable.

“You’d better not leave the city!”

Su Mu clenched his fists, feeling the thick tendons in his body connecting his muscles and membranes more tightly.

After reaching the perfection of tendon tempering, combined with his own skin tempering limit and flesh tempering limit, his strength is no weaker than that of ordinary bone tempering, and the gap between him and He Guangshao’s bone tempering perfection is further narrowed.

If they met outside the city, with both ideas coming out at the same time, Su Mu would be 80% sure that he could kill He Guangshao on the spot.

If he can temper his muscles to the limit, then he will have a 100% chance of success!
The Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method requires four thousand points to reach perfection.

If I still have the status of a head constable, I can save up these 4,000 points in about a month.

But without the identity of a captain of the police, the upper limit of the points he could get per day with just the identity of a white-clothed officer of the Taiping Division would be no more than 100. It would take two months or even longer to accumulate 4,000 points.

“First, take on some tasks as a ghostwriter?”

Su Mu was thinking idly, and when he thought of the ghostwriter, he suddenly remembered something.

“By the way, I haven’t received the reward for suppressing the bandits yet, and there is also the accumulation of Feiyun Bandits.”

There is no need to rush for the reward for suppressing the bandits. He Guangshao can dismiss him from his post, but he cannot be greedy for the reward. Don’t even think about getting less than a tael.

As for Feiyundao’s accumulation…

Su Mu turned out the small gold seal and thought for a moment. Then he put on his clothes, put on his Autumn Water Sword, and walked towards Datong Bank.

The South City branch of Datong Money House is right next to the South City Yamen, which is almost the most central and prosperous area in the entire South City.

A magnificent three-story building, with almost a dozen rooms on each floor, occupies half of the street.

Su Mu had passed by it countless times, but this was the first time he actually came in.

The service of Chase Bank is unexpectedly professional.

After seeing the golden seal that Su Mu presented, a waiter immediately led Su Mu into a separate room, and then a middle-aged man dressed as a steward came out to receive him.

After the other party carefully checked the golden seal, he apologized and left. After a meal, the manager asked a few waiters to move a huge box into the room.

“Sir, these are the items you have stored in this bank. Please feel free to do as you please. I will be waiting outside the door. Please call me at any time if you have any instructions.”

The steward smiled attentively.

Before he left the room, he considerately helped Su Mu close the door.

When he was the only one left in the room, Su Mu’s eyes fell on the big box.

Yan Zhu was really bold. He deposited the proceeds from robbery so blatantly in a bank. Who could have imagined that?
However, the Datong Bank is also very powerful and can kill even the criminals on the wanted list.

The storage fee for storing such a box in Datong Money House would be one hundred taels of silver for a year, which most people simply cannot afford.

Su Mu sighed in his heart and inserted the golden seal into the keyhole on the box.

This gold seal is not only a certificate, but also the key to open the box.

With a click, Su Mu lifted up the box.

The box was large, but only half full.

Su Mu took out the things inside one by one and placed them on the table.

A stack of Datong Bank silver notes, each worth five thousand taels, totaling twenty or thirty pieces.

These silver notes alone amount to more than 100,000 or 200,000 taels.

You have to know that the Xu family has been privately trading in military equipment for decades, but the wealth they have accumulated is just this much.

As for cash, the Xu family can’t come up with that much.

Of course, this is because a large part of the Xu family’s profits have to be sent to the inner city.

However, this also shows how strong Feiyundao’s ability to make money is.

Su Mu estimated that even if the four major families in the inner city were asked to take out so much silver at once, not every family would be able to do it.

In addition to the silver bills, there were also a bunch of antique calligraphy and paintings. Su Mu didn’t know much about these and didn’t know how much silver they were worth.

Putting these aside, what remains is what Su Mu is most interested in.

Cheats!

And weapons!
Unlike the rare secret books that the Xu family carefully selected, Yan Zhu obviously accepted all of them.

There are more than ten books on sword and knife skills in this box.

Su Mu read through the books one by one and found that most of them were common goods, the kind that even he couldn’t look down upon now. Only two or three books could be considered fine works.

The remaining methods include skin quenching, flesh quenching, tendon quenching and bone quenching, but they are all the most common ones.

This is understandable, as martial arts are easy to acquire but skills are hard to come by.

Martial arts such as swordsmanship and knife skills, especially the more basic ones, can be easily acquired as long as one has money.

However, the skills can truly transform a person, and they are rarely circulated outside.

In particular, the truly superior body tempering methods are all passed down secretly among major families or sects.

Luo An Ning taught Su Mu the “Tianlong Eight Sounds Tendon Tempering Method” before, and that was also to make Su Mu a member of the Luo family.

Otherwise, Su Mu would have almost no chance to come into contact with such a superior method of tempering tendons.

“Including the ones seized from the Xu family, I now have two bone tempering methods in my hands. Even if they are not top-notch, I can practice both. As long as the quantity is sufficient, I can still practice bone tempering to the limit. At most, it will only waste a few months of time.”

Su Mu put away the martial arts secrets and his eyes fell on another object.

A soft sword with a scabbard, more than three feet long.

Su Mu raised his hand and pulled out the sword. With a flick of his wrist, the soft sword suddenly became straight.

It was so sharp that even the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees in an instant.

“What a sword!”

Su Mu couldn’t help but secretly praise.

This sword is not much worse than the Autumn Water Sword.

The Autumn Water Knife was a precious sword that Wang Lai was rewarded with for saving the life of the patriarch of the Wang family. It was worth a thousand gold coins.

This sword is no worse than Qiu Shui, and it can be considered a priceless sword.

This kind of magical weapon is almost equivalent to another life for a warrior.

A magical weapon can really save lives at the critical moment.

In Su Mu’s opinion, the most valuable thing in the whole box is this sword.

Feiyundao gave a very good gift, this soft sword, and he liked it very much.

He tied the soft sword around his waist, which served as a belt. It looked inconspicuous, but it could serve as a killer weapon at the critical moment.

“You don’t have a name, so from now on you will be called Ziwei.”

Su Mu patted the soft sword and said to himself.
