Chapter 24

In fact, Jiang Ping'an had not yet fully mastered the second level of the Vibration Blade Technique. His ability to knock the opponent's sword away relied entirely on his strength.

This was because he had already mastered the third level of the Blood Qi Technique.

His talent for physical cultivation was better than for spiritual cultivation, and the three hundred Blood Qi Pills directly boosted the Blood Qi Technique to the third level.

His current strength was comparable to that of a Ninth Level Qi Practitioner.

However, he had indeed mastered the first level of the Vibration Blade Technique, which was a very useful blade technique, providing unexpected effects in battle.

"You win, congratulations."

Ye Lin clasped his hands and bowed slightly in congratulations.

This young man, like the young lady, had great talent, and Lianshan County could not retain them.

It was only a matter of time before they left.

Therefore, he could not offend them and must leave a good impression, forming a good connection.

"Thank you for letting me win." Jiang Ping'an put down the blade in his hand.

Ye Lin jumped down from the roof.

"Next."

Jiang Ping'an looked at the soldiers below, ready to continue the fight.

The two remaining soldiers who were competing for the position of captain looked at each other but did not step forward.

"We concede."

"In terms of combat power, we are not as good as you."

Ye Lin was the strongest among them, and even he was defeated in one move. Why should they go up? To embarrass themselves?

"Ha ha, good, then I announce that from today, Jiang Ping'an is the captain!"

Meng Kuo was extremely pleased with Jiang Ping'an's performance.

The idiots in Pingshui County didn't even want such a genius.

If the people of Pingshui County had seriously cultivated Jiang Ping'an, Lianshan County would have had a terrifying enemy.

But now, this terrifying enemy belonged to Pingshui County.

Everyone returned to the room, and Jiang Ping'an was officially appointed as the captain, meeting and getting to know the other captains.

Meng Kuo began to arrange the winter attack on Pingshui County.

Jiang Ping'an was confused and couldn't understand, but he knew he would just lead the charge when the time came.

The meeting lasted for half a day, and Jiang Ping'an's head was spinning; he really didn't like these things.

But to receive the reward from the governor of Heiye County, he had to be a captain, otherwise, his cultivation methods would fall behind, and his cultivation speed would slow down.

After half a day, the meeting finally ended, and Jiang Ping'an quickly slipped away, finding cultivation more interesting.

Passing by a field, Jiang Ping'an suddenly stopped. A family of three was gathered around a cow, looking worried.

"Dad, the cow is about to die. How will we harvest the crops?" The little boy pouted, his eyes red.

"It's okay, at most we'll be a bit more tired. I'll carry the crops back, cough, cough," the sun-tanned man rubbed the boy's head and smiled.

His body was clearly not well, and he coughed occasionally.

"Your father, your body hasn't recovered yet. I'll carry them."

The mother bent down, shouldering the heavy load, her body hunched, her knees trembling.

"No, how can a woman carry so much? I'll do it, cough, cough."

"Wait a moment."

A voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

Turning his head, a handsome young man walked over. The youth had clear features and a determined look in his eyes that was unusual for his age.

"Child, are you in trouble? Cough, cough," the sun-tanned man looked kind.

"I'll heal you." Jiang Ping'an said.

"Are you a doctor? It's useless. Many old doctors couldn't cure me, let alone you. Thank you, child, cough, cough."

The man, seeing that the other was just a child, didn't believe he could cure his illness. Many old doctors couldn't, so how could a child?

Jiang Ping'an didn't say much. He walked to the man, raised his hand, and a green light suddenly appeared, enveloping him.

The man was startled and tried to move away, but the warmth made him feel very comfortable.

The mother and son stood in shock, amazed by the glowing hand, which was too incredible.

After a moment, Jiang Ping'an stopped the healing technique.

"I, my body... seems to have recovered!"

The man felt energetic, full of strength, and no longer coughed.

This was too incredible!

While the man was in shock, Jiang Ping'an squatted beside the dying yellow cow and used the healing technique again.

The cow, which was about to die, stood up again.

"Benefactor! Thank you for your help!"

The man and woman quickly pressed their son to kneel before Jiang Ping'an, their faces filled with gratitude and respect.

This young man might be the immortal people often talked about.

They were very grateful to him; without him, their family would have faced great trouble.

"It's nothing, no need to thank me."

Jiang Ping'an picked up a shriveled fruit from the cart, "This is my payment."

Saying that, he bit into the fruit and left.

The fruit was astringent, just like the taste of the fruit his mother used to pick.

The family of three watched Jiang Ping'an leave, then climbed onto the swaying cart, full of crops, and headed home, their happy laughter echoing under the evening sky.

Jiang Ping'an looked back.

Perhaps, if there were no heavy taxes, he would be as happy as they were.

Returning to his residence, he hadn't even entered the door when he saw a young girl standing with a blade at the entrance.

The petite girl stood tall, her body beginning to develop, her twin pigtails swaying slightly as she moved.

Seeing Jiang Ping'an return, the girl suddenly drew a short blade two fingers wide.

"Jiang Ping'an! I, Meng Jing, am back!"

"This month, I trained hard and made rapid progress, ranking tenth in the talent competition among hundreds of counties in Heiye County!"

"Last time was my mistake, this time, I will easily defeat you!"

This girl was none other than the general's daughter, Meng Jing.

She had lost to Jiang Ping'an a month ago, but she was not satisfied.

Due to her participation in the talent selection in Heiye County, she had to temporarily stop sparring with him.

She had just returned and hadn't even seen her father, coming directly here to fight Jiang Ping'an again, to prove that she was the strongest.

"Are you the Jiang Ping'an that Little Jing talks about?"

A chubby boy of about fourteen or fifteen suddenly appeared, looking coldly at Jiang Ping'an.

"Xiang Jun, get lost, this is none of your business."

Seeing this chubby boy, Meng Jing's pretty face was full of impatience.

This guy was from a neighboring county, someone she met at the talent competition. After being defeated by her, he followed her like a shadow.

"How is it none of my business? I like Little Jing, and I hate those she hates."

Xiang Jun showed what he thought was a deep expression.

Meng Jing looked disgusted, "Can you leave? You're so childish."

Girls mature early, so they often find their peers childish.

"No, I never give up. That's why I reached the Sixth Level Qi Practitioner and ranked eleventh in the talent competition. Never giving up is my motto!"

Xiang Jun, facing Meng Jing's disgust, was completely unmoved and became even more determined.

He looked at Jiang Ping'an again and said coldly, "Brat, if you dare to make Little Jing unhappy, I will beat you up today!"

Jiang Ping'an calmly watched the two.

For some reason, he always felt out of place with children of this age.

A ball of scorching flame rose in Xiang Jun's hand.

"I'll give you one chance to beg for mercy and apologize to Meng Jing. Otherwise, I'll burn you into a roasted piglet!"

Seeing the flame in his hand, Jiang Ping'an was quite envious.

The temperature was very high, clearly more powerful than the fireball he could release.

Among spiritual cultivators of the same level, he was indeed weak.
