Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 139 Choosing a Cultivation Method

Chapter 140 Choosing a Cultivation Method

However, he remained resilient and did not show the slightest sign of losing his composure, simply saying softly, "It's just a broken bone, it's nothing serious."

He wanted to ask why Lin Qing possessed such terrifying power, but he swallowed the words back. Everyone has their own secrets, and it would be extremely impolite to pry into them when you're not familiar with each other.

"Since there's nothing seriously wrong, I'm relieved. I have great respect for Officer Lei, and if I have the chance in the future, I'll definitely treat him to a good meal," Lin Qing said with a smile.

"You are a promising young man. Your future in martial arts is immeasurable. Since you are willing to invite me for a drink, I will definitely accept." Lei Cha Tou's expression was complicated.

"Haha, okay, it's a deal!" Lin Qing laughed and turned to walk towards the viewing platform, because Qiu Changming was calling him over to explain matters related to the head of the Jingming Division.

Lei Tong then got up and walked towards the crowd, and several doctors rushed over from the side.

"Officer Lei, how's your injury? Do you need our help?"

"No need, it's just a broken arm, nothing to worry about," Lei Tong said in a deep voice.

The physicians exchanged glances and said no more, because a martial artist in the True Essence Realm has extremely strong self-healing ability, and a broken bone is indeed not a serious injury, which can be cured in ten days at most.

As soon as Lei Tong returned to the crowd, a group of people surrounded him.

"Hey, what just happened?"

"Indeed, Chief Lin, no, Director Lin, could it be that you have also entered the True Essence Realm?"

Everyone was extremely curious because the battle ended too quickly, and under the influence of the aura, they couldn't see anything clearly. They only heard a loud bang, and then Lei Tong fell off the arena.

Lei Tong pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Lord Lin is not a True Yuan Realm martial artist, but the level of a martial artist's realm does not necessarily represent the level of their actual combat strength. If someone's physical strength is strong enough that they can deliver a punch with the force of a million catties, then even if they are not a True Yuan Realm martial artist, they can easily kill a True Yuan Realm martial artist."

After finishing his sentence, Lei Tong ignored the surrounding chatter and quickly walked away along a path that parted in the crowd.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what was going on. Although Lin Qing wasn't a true essence cultivator, his physical strength was extremely high. What was this called? One force can overcome all laws?

.

In front of the viewing platform.

Many of the stewards and heads of the department looked at Lin Qing with complicated expressions. Most of them had only reached this high position in their fifties or sixties. They did not expect that Lin Qing was so young and already on equal footing with them. This was the first time since the establishment of the Soul Department of Ishikawa Prefecture. The youngest steward before was already forty-four years old.

"Greetings, Ambassador Yang!"

Lin Qing remained calm and bowed to Yang Chenglu.

"No need for formalities, Lin Qing. Now that you've become the head of the Jingming Division, you must do your job well. The situation is turbulent now, and it won't be as easy as you think to hold onto this position," Yang Chenglu said solemnly.

"Rest assured, Lord Yang, Lin Qing will do everything in his power to restore peace and stability to the people of the prefecture," Lin Qing declared loudly.

"Alright, after becoming the Director, you can choose three treasures from the secret vault every year. Now let Qiu Changming take you there, and let him also tell you what you need to do and what other rights you have." After Yang Chenglu finished speaking, he got up and left.

Lin Qing followed Qiu Changming to the secret vault, which was the storehouse for the most precious treasures in the Soul Suppression Division. Only the division chief, deacons, and those who had made great contributions had the opportunity to enter.

"The Master can enter three times a year, and the Steward can enter five times! Each time you can only choose one cultivation technique or item, but of course you can also choose to use all your slots at once."

Lin Qing walked along a stone-paved path toward the treasury, listening to Qiu Changming's explanation as he walked ahead.

"Before I was promoted to steward, I also served as the head of the Jingming Division for a considerable period of time. If you have any questions, you are welcome to ask me. Things are different now than they were back then. The Yin Yuan Sect is extremely rampant, and managing the Jingming Division well is not an easy task." After explaining a lot about the rights and responsibilities of the head of the Jingming Division, Qiu Changming instructed in the tone of a senior.

"What you say is absolutely right, sir." Lin Qing nodded slightly.

The Jingming Division is responsible for collecting intelligence and apprehending criminals, and can mobilize patrol officers when necessary.

In addition, any corpses sent to the town of Zhenhunsi will first be inspected by the people of Jingmingsi. If the resentment has not been dispelled, they will be sent to the dungeon, and others will be sent to the courtyards of various corpse collection teams.

As the head of the department, Lin Qing has the power to distribute corpses and access all intelligence, both of which will bring him great benefits.

Especially the former, Lin Qing can select some of the corpses for his own disposal. It is foreseeable that in the future, his strength will grow at a faster rate, and he will be able to replicate more advanced martial arts and innate skills.

Before long, the two arrived at the secret vault. In front of them was a courtyard. Entering through the gate, there were rows of houses in the courtyard. Each house had a plaque hanging at its door, which read either "weapons," "elixirs," or "cultivation techniques."

"You go in and take your time choosing, I'll go first!" Qiu Changming said.

"good!"

Lin Qing stepped into the courtyard and went inside every house. Finally, he selected two fighting techniques from the wooden house where the cultivation manuals were stored. One was called Dragon Scale Golden Body, which was a fourth-level horizontal cultivation technique, and the other was called Subduing Demon Yang Blade, which was a fourth-level blade technique.

The fourth tier is already the highest level of martial arts that ordinary martial artists can access. There are very few fifth-tier martial arts in the entire Shu Province. As for the sixth tier, it is a legendary martial art, such as the He Yi Tian Gong.

"Although I can obtain a large number of martial arts techniques by collecting corpses and copying them, I basically can't access fourth-tier martial arts; I still have to practice them myself!"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then took the two martial arts techniques and walked out of the courtyard.

.

A moment later, Lin Qing returned to his own courtyard. Wei Dong, who was next door, heard the commotion and rushed over immediately, accompanied by Li Ping and others.

"Brother Lin, you're only twenty years old and you're already a division chief! That's amazing!" Wei Dong exclaimed with envy as soon as they met.

The three of them, including Ma Ziye, were filled with admiration and envy, and even a little reserved.

Previously, even when Lin Qing became a courier, they didn't feel a significant gap between them. But now, Lin Qing has risen to become the Chief of the Bureau, further widening the gap between the three of them and him. As a result, Ma Ziye no longer dared to joke around, since the Chief of the Bureau was a truly high-ranking figure in the city.

Lin Qing also keenly noticed this and laughed, "Miss Ma, why are you so shy? Come, today I become the head of the department, we should have a good drink. We're all brothers and sisters, why be so reserved?"

Lin Qing's performance immediately put Ma Ziye and the others at ease. They had heard that many people who suddenly increase in strength and rise in status will change their attitude towards those around them and become contemptuous. But clearly, Lin Qing was not that kind of person.

Ma Ziye immediately relaxed again, returning to her previous somewhat immature and carefree personality.

"Hey, Lin Qing, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're amazing! Tell me, how were you able to beat Lei Tong? He's a True Yuan Realm martial artist!"

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Although Lei Cha Tou is at the True Yuan Realm, his physical strength is far inferior to mine. The power of my punch is several times that of his. This is what is meant by 'one force can overcome all laws'."

As Lin Qing spoke, he was also pondering in his heart, and he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.
