Chapter 202: Caobang’s Order
Captain Zhao Heiniu carried Wang Zheng’s severed head to the county office to claim the bounty.
Thirty taels of gold, together with the more than forty taels of gold taken from the stronghold, were enough for him to purchase every Second-Rank martial arts manual in the Yulong Gang’s Martial Vault—and even pick up a few for Chen Ergou as well.
As for Su Wangchuan, with the one thousand five hundred taels of gold contributed by the Earthfiend Sect, his funds were plentiful once more. He instructed the two of them to first cultivate 《Water-Submerged Breath Regulation Art》 and Underwater Killing Techniques. Hunting fish underwater would allow them to advance to First Rank more quickly.
He himself continued cultivating the Third-Rank martial art 《Qingcheng Sword Art》.
That very night, Captain Zhao Heiniu successfully cultivated 《Water-Submerged Breath Regulation Art》 and smoothly broke through to become a First-Rank Martial Artist.
Chen Ergou brought Underwater Killing Techniques to the realm of “Practice Makes Perfect” and likewise broke through to First Rank.
At the Huishui County branch, there was now one Second-Rank Martial Artist overseeing operations, five First-Rank Martial Artists under his command, and, counting the escort agency and inner disciples, more than two hundred Quasi-Martial Artists. In terms of foundation and strength, they already far surpassed the Yulong Gang of a year ago.
Two days passed…
Su Wangchuan finally cultivated 《Qingcheng Sword Art》 to Minor Mastery.
