“How can I regard my little achievement as something significant?”

It was full of modesty in Sun Siwen’s words. If it wasn’t for that pleased smile on his face, just by listening to these words, one might actually believe him.

But while pride filled him, he didn’t forget his good friend: “Brother Lu, aren’t you also just twenty-seven years old, and already considered a second-rate expert in the Jianghu? With your innate talent, it should only be a matter of a few years before you enter the ranks of first-rate experts.

By then, your achievements will be no less than those of a prefect.

Moreover, when I met Lord Cui this time, he highly praised you as the County Captain who personally led the county soldiers to quell the rebellion. From what I gathered in his words, it seems he wants to transfer you and me back to Fu City together, in preparation for a promotion.

There is a plan to establish an army in Fu City, and Lord Cui is currently in need of capable people.

Brother Lu, once you go there, you may be able to directly take up the position of Commander of the Fu City Army. That’s a sixth-grade post, one rank higher than my promotion. ”

Sun Siwen said this with a touch of envy in his eyes as he looked at his own good friend.

The promotion system for martial artists is different from that of civil officials like them.

Because military officials always talk about strength within themselves, which is different from the civil officials who rely on the system’s power to do their work.

A powerful martial artist can become an army all by himself, a single person able to form a team.

So, when they join the imperial court, they usually enjoy preferential treatment.

The old practices of seniority and focusing on the generation are rare in the military official system.

If you’re a second-rate expert, then you’ll hold the post of a second-rate expert. If you’re a first-rate expert, you’ll hold a first-rate post.

If your strength is not enough, but you still want to hold that position, not only will you cause dissatisfaction among others, if a real crisis arises and you need to face it, that would be courting destruction.

“It’s just a little fame.”

As for the news that he may be promoted, Lu Yuan appeared quite indifferent and said, “Even if I get promoted, it doesn’t mean much to me. Brother Sun, you should know my ambitions.”

Sun Siwen admired, “Brother Lu, your heart towards the Dao in martial arts is well known, but every time I see you, I can’t help but feel amazed.”

In Sun Siwen’s eyes, his friend was extraordinary in strength, even in the Jianghu he could be called a top-notch martial artist.

Ordinary people in the Jianghu with his abilities would have already established a sect, enjoyed wealth and glory, had followers surrounding them everywhere, and lived a life of ease.

But Lu Yuan didn’t dwell on these mundane things. Even with his strength, wealth, and low profile in daily life, he continued to practice martial arts diligently at home. As a County Captain, he didn’t covet power, only dedicated himself to practicing martial arts.

Such behavior made anyone who saw it couldn’t help but thumbs up and call him a true expert.

So sometimes, Sun Siwen felt ashamed when facing Lu Yuan.

He felt that as a worldly man who craved fame, it somewhat tarnished the character of his noble friend.

“Brother Sun praises me too highly, I am just a mortal.”

Lu Yuan could guess some of his friend’s inner thoughts, but he could only respond with a smile.

What could he say?contemporary romance

Could it be that he practiced martial arts so diligently for over a decade solely because he was afraid of death?

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to enjoy glamour and fame, but because he lacked strength and didn’t dare do so.

Thus, a conversation between friends gradually came to an end.

After that, Sun Siwen and Lu Yuan busied themselves with their own tasks.

Lu Yuan remained the same, continuing to practice martial arts at home.

As for refining pills, just as he had predicted earlier, the progress was quite limited.

Although he had already sent his disciples to various places to purchase herbs, and some were even sent to other counties.

Nevertheless, the herbs Lu Yuan was able to obtain were still limited.

From the beginning of the eighth month to the end of the year, he was only able to refine eleven furnaces of pills, yielding a total of one hundred and twelve Rejuvenation Pills.

However, even with that, after cultivating for more than a year since he advanced to the first-rate level and with the help of these Rejuvenation Pills, Lu Yuan managed to fully unlock one more bizarre meridian, entering the eighth layer of the Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra.

With this breakthrough in his martial arts technique, his strength greatly advanced.

Nowadays, based on his increased strength, Lu Yuan felt that although he still lacked a first-rate martial arts technique, he could already contend with bottom-ranking first-rate experts with his profound inner strength.

This made him very happy.

According to this trend, once he fully unlocks the two meridians on the eighth layer and further deepens his inner strength,

Then, relying on his inner strength, he might be able to reach the level of a senior first-rate expert.

By that time, even without a first-class martial arts technique or many helpers,

He might dare to directly break into Iron Sword Sect’s territory and snatch their Tiejian Sword Technique solely relying on his strength.

Of course, this still had some risks.

Therefore, he probably wouldn’t choose to do so unless he had no alternative.

However, the increase in strength that the breakthrough in inner strength brought still gave Lu Yuan great joy and security.

In order to increase his strength as quicldy as possible, he even took out the second level of the Cloud Palm Technique and specially rewarded it to the named disciple who bought the most herbs this year as an incentive..
