Chapter 19
Sword Intent Level 18
“Lord Su, according to the statistics, the Li family’s assets are worth 375,320 taels of silver.” The chief registrar of Pingshan City reported the statistics.
In the courtyard of the Li family, all the important members of Pingshan City gathered. But there was only one protagonist, and that was Su Yang. His opinion was more important than anyone else in Pingshan City.
“Yes, no problem.”
“The Li family’s properties can undergo an internal auction, with a starting price set at 30% lower than the market price, but only internal competition is allowed. After exhausting internal resources, we can then sell the remaining properties to other merchants.”
“As for the current silver, we’ll distribute it according to the rules.”
“What do you all think?”
After carefully reading the account book and making sure that there were no problems, Su Yang spoke up.
Although it was a suggestion, who had any objections?
“No problem…”
“Sure, I’ll listen to Lord Su’s arrangements.”
He glanced around and found no objections, so the matter was settled.
Su Yang got 20%. After splitting the silver, there were more than 20,000 taels.
One had to know that a hundred taels of silver were enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for a year. This 20,000 taels of gold was a huge sum of money in this era.
Su Yang put it away first. Later, he planned to take out a portion of it to his subordinates.
However, this was just a small portion of the wealth. The major share came from the sale of the Li family’s properties. After all of them were sold, there would be a substantial amount of wealth.
After the division of assets was completed, the following days were relatively dull.
The other streets were affected by Spring Wind Hall and began to deal with cases. After the fall of the Li family, the haze that shrouded the city was dispelled.
Zhang Hu successfully broke through to eighth grade after a few days of cultivation. This finally gave Su Yang a slightly useful person.
As for Su Yang… During this period of time, his life was very regular. During the day, he would practice his swordsmanship, and at night, he would soak in a medicinal bath.
In the blink of an eye, it was the night of June 13th. Su Yang would set off for the county city the next day. The assessment was on the 15th of June, but he had to prepare in advance to avoid delays.
Pingshan City was quite a distance away from the county city. Walking for three days, and riding the Wind Horse only took six hours.
The Wind Horse was a ninth-grade demonic beast. In Pingshan City, only the Martial Suppression Division had such equipment. Su Yang was naturally qualified to ride it.
That night, Su Yang came to Huichun Hall as usual and walked into the familiar pharmacy. However, when he habitually prepared to take off his clothes and enter the medicine bucket, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Usually, Liu Congshan would be the one preparing in the pharmacy, but today, it was a different person…
Su Yang quickly buttoned up his half-unbuttoned shirt. However, he was still seen by Liu Yurou.
Liu Yurou calmly explained, “Lord Su, you don’t have to mind. There’s no gender in front of doctors.”
Was that so? Su Yang complained slightly.
“Lady Liu, why are you here today?”
Liu Yurou explained, “Someone suddenly fell ill. My grandfather rushed over to treat him. I also learned how to refine medicine from my grandfather. Therefore, the task of refining a medicinal bath for Lord Su fell on me.”
“So… I’ll be responsible for adding firewood along the way.”
Seeing Liu Yurou’s familiar look, Su Yang didn’t think too much about it.
“I see. It’s fine. Doctors don’t care about gender. They only care about how to improve the body. Since You are also a doctor, I’ll start.”
As he spoke, Su Yang began to undress again.
Liu Yurou’s heart was pounding as she saw this. She quickly said, “Lord Su, the preparation work is completed. You can soak in it first. I’ll come back to add firewood later!”
After saying that, Liu Yurou hurriedly ran out.
No matter how much she brainwashed herself, she was still inexperienced. How could she remain calm in this situation?
Su Yang took off his clothes and entered the medicine bucket. From then on, Liu Yurou would run in every once in a while to get more firewood. Then, she quickly left, doing her duty.
Su Yang saw all of this. He did not think too much about this and absorbed the medicinal power in peace. After the medicinal bath was over, Su Yang thanked him as usual.
“Thank you, Lady Liu…No, thank you, Doctor Liu.”
“No need to thank me.” Liu Yurou waved her hands.
Su Yang smiled and left.
“Hu…” Seeing that Su Yang had walked away, Liu Yurou finally stopped suppressing her emotions. She let out a heavy breath and her flustered heart began to calm down. However, Su Yang’s appearance in the medicine bucket would still pop up in her mind from time to time.
…
“Girl, what are you doing at the door?” Liu Congshan leisurely walked out from the side and looked at his granddaughter with a smile.
“Eh? Grandpa, you’re back. What a coincidence…” Liu Yurou murmured. She seemed to have thought of something and instantly went crazy.
“Ah! Grandpa, did you do it on purpose?!”
“You’re disrespectful, I’ll pull your beard!”
…
After nearly half a month of soaking, his physique had been greatly enhanced. The medicinal bath’s effect on his body was already very weak.
If he were to simply swing his sword, he could already swing ten thousand swords a day without suffering any injuries. It could be said to be a huge improvement.
His sword intent had also increased to lv 18 after this period of time.
[Tianqin Sword]
[Sword Intent: Lv. 18 (12/18000)]
[Sword Technique: Starfire (Lv. 15)]
[Will of All Living Beings: 0]
It was a pity that the Will of All Beings was not enough, so the sword move could only reach lv15. When his sword intent reached LV12, he could instantly kill a sixth grade.
Now that he was level 18, he had no idea what realm it was.
In terms of perception, the sword intent in his dantian would increase by several times with each level of sword intent. A fifth grade was definitely not his match.
However, in his heart, he felt that if he included his sword technique, he could still kill a fourth grade.
After estimating his own strength, Su Yang muttered, “Forget it… when I was strong enough, I could ask for the chief inspector position.”
In this world, one’s own strength was the real thing.
