Travel through a martial arts world and gain a little breakthrough every day.

Chapter 138 Someone's already plotting against us so quickly.

When Zhou Chunlan went to bed that night, she brought her nose close to Lin Feng's and smelled it, then looked at Lin Feng's chicken.

"My lord, you seem different today."

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his wife had seen through something?

"Oh? What's different?"

Zhou Chunlan tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Your scent seems different now, it smells nice."

Zhou Chunlan pinched the muscles on Lin Feng's arm and then scratched them with her fingernails.

"Your skin seems more elastic and firmer, and your chicken seems firmer too."

Lin Feng wasn't surprised. The person who understood him best in this world was his wife, so it wasn't unexpected that she could see the changes in his body.

Today, my martial arts skills have greatly improved, eliminating many impurities, and my body is gradually becoming younger.

Before birth, a person is in a state of innate innocence, like an infant.

After birth, as we grow older, the cells in our bodies age and impurities gradually increase.

The human body will gradually age.

Practicing martial arts can reverse this process, gradually eliminating impurities and making one's physical age continuously younger, even returning to one's innate state.

Returning to the innate state means reaching the so-called innate realm.

Therefore, it is easier to cultivate when you are younger, because there are fewer impurities accumulated in your body.

Young people's bodily fluids generally don't have an odor, but this changes after the age of thirty. As impurities increase in the body, white clothes will turn yellow within half a day.

Ordinary people can only slow down aging through maintenance, but martial artists can reverse their innate constitution through cultivation.

Lin Feng explained this theory to his wife, Zhou Chunlan.

Zhou Chunlan's eyes widened. "So, if I cultivate diligently, I can stay young forever?"

"Of course, my wife has great talent. If she cultivates diligently, she may be able to break through to the Innate Realm and gain a lifespan of two hundred years."

Lin Feng handed Zhou Chunlan two Power-Enhancing Pills and explained their effects to her.

Lin Feng didn't dare give too much at once, fearing it would weaken his wife's foundation.

After Zhou Chunlan had absorbed the effects of the Enhancement Pill, the couple had another intense battle.

……

In the morning, Lin Feng went to his post at the Ma Yi Wei.

He stayed in his room, planning for the future.

He plans to develop a dual cultivation technique so that he and his wife can enjoy themselves while also increasing their internal energy.

I need to learn some more martial arts skills myself.

The generals of the Ma Yi Guards can exchange merits for cultivation techniques. Once they have accumulated more merits, they can go to the county town to exchange them for cultivation techniques.

Before that, we need to go with Song Dahu to his sect, the Beast Fist Sect.

He was thinking when, knock knock, someone knocked on his door.

"Come in!"

A guard in hempen robes opened the door, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Lord City Lord, the General of the City Guard and the County Magistrate wish to see you."

Lin Feng understood immediately.

These people were pleading for leniency for those arrested by the Imperial Guards.

"Let them in!"

Lin Feng's status is no longer what it used to be; he is no longer someone anyone can meet at will.

Even if the city lord comes, you still have to inform him.

The three of them quickly went upstairs to Lin Feng's room.

City Lord Zheng Tiejun's gaze sharpened the moment he saw Lin Feng.

Although Lin Feng's kung fu was impressive, it was still inferior to his own; he had been able to tell that before.

But today he found that he could no longer see through Lin Feng, and he also sensed a dangerous aura emanating from Lin Feng.

This greatly alarmed Zheng Tiejun.

Has there been a breakthrough this time?

That shouldn't be the case. Even if he broke through once, he shouldn't become this strong.

It's impossible for a martial artist to break through multiple times in just two days.

Let alone two days, it would be difficult to break through twice even in two years.

It must be an illusion.

Perhaps he has become somewhat complacent since becoming the city lord.

Sigh, practicing martial arts is like rowing against the current; if you don't advance, you fall behind. I still need to get back and practice more diligently.

Although he thought this way, he couldn't help but feel a bit more wary of Lin Feng.

Zheng Tiejun said with a smile, "Brother Lin, it's been a few days since we last met. I've been missing you, so I brought you two packets of good tea."

After Zheng Tiejun finished speaking, the city guard general and the county magistrate, with smiles on their faces, presented him with two packets of fine tea.

Lin Feng didn't take it, so they could only leave the tea on the table.

"I wonder what brings the three of you here so early in the morning?"

Zheng Tiejun's smile remained unchanged. "I can't come to catch up with you, Brother Lin, unless there's something important to discuss."

Lin Feng laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Zheng, we've only been apart for a few days, and you've already come to catch up with me."

"Since you've guessed it, brother, I'll tell you the truth."

These two brothers asked me to plead with you on their behalf.

"Stop tormenting their men. Just release them if they should."

Lin Feng's gaze swept over the city guard general and the county magistrate.

If he hadn't been trying to capture the two men's henchmen, he wouldn't even know their names.

The city guard general was named Li Haoming, and the county magistrate was named Wang Ruiwen.

Both of them were officials parachuted in from the county seat. They looked down on Lin Feng, who had risen from the bottom, and never took the initiative to seek him out.

These two men were Zheng Tiejun's direct subordinates.

If it weren't for saving face for Zheng Tiejun, these two would probably already be in the Ma Yiwei prison.

Both of them felt a tremor in their hearts when Lin Feng's gaze swept over them.

They felt as if they were being targeted by a monster, and their hearts pounded with anxiety.

This Lin Feng seems pretty strong.

It's true what they say, "A scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation."

These martial arts fanatics are the most dangerous; you never know when they might break through to a higher level.

Lin Feng said, "Brother Zheng, as you know, our Ma Yi Wei has always upheld the law impartially."

If the people I arrest are innocent, I'll release them after the interrogation."

Zheng Tiejun coughed lightly twice, thinking to himself, "What do I know?"

Once inside the Ma Yiwei prison, he could confess to all the mistakes he made when he was three years old.

What talk of upholding justice? The Ma Yi Wei's interrogation method was simply to extract a confession from him.

At this moment, the faint sounds of whips cracking, flesh burning, and screams of agony from downstairs could be heard.

Although the voices were soft, the group of people were all martial artists at least at the Body Refining Realm, and they easily heard them.

City Guard General Li Haoming and County Magistrate Wang Ruiwen even recognized which subordinate's voice it was.

Both of them trembled slightly. The Ma Yi Wei were too ruthless. They were thrown into prison and subjected to severe torture. Who could endure that?

They didn't care whether their men lived or died.

The key point is that when they first arrived, these subordinates gave the two of them a lot of gifts.

They not only gave them money but also took them out to have fun.

If these subordinates are not careful with their mouths and reveal this, they might be charged with accepting bribes and thrown into the Ma Yi Wei prison to be tortured.

Lin Feng thought to himself, "If I release them just because you plead for them, where will the dignity of the Ma Yi Wei be?"

Lin Feng then said, "Don't worry, everyone. I will deal with those who confess according to the law, and those who are innocent will be released in the next couple of days."

Zheng Tiejun was somewhat displeased, but he still wore a smile on his face.

Before he came, he assured his two subordinates that Lin Feng would release the person as soon as he asked.

Zheng Tiejun stood up and said, "With Brother Lin's words, we are relieved. We will take our leave now."

Lin Feng saw the group out.

After Zheng Tiejun left, his face immediately darkened.

General Li Haoming of the city guard said, "Boss, this General Lin is not giving us any face."

The county magistrate, Wang Ruiwen, then added, "Yes, mainly because the Ma Yi Wei (a type of guard) has too much power and there are no checks and balances."

I think we should report this to higher authorities and have them find a charge against Lin Feng for forcing a confession under torture and abusing his power.

Zheng Tiejun left with his hands behind his back, saying, "You two can discuss the matter of filing a complaint; you don't need to tell me."

Magistrate Wang Ruiwen immediately understood: this meant he and his companion were to file a complaint, and the city lord would not be involved.

In this way, the city lord will not offend Lin Feng, and may even speak up for Lin Feng and do him a favor at a crucial moment.

They decided to let the two of them be the bad guys.

"Let's be bad guys then. After all, we're the underlings." The two began planning how to sue Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was unaware that someone was plotting against him so soon.
