Translator: Daoist6fubtiW

The Easy Marrow Pill melted instantly upon entering Lu Changsheng’s mouth.

Lu Changsheng immediately activated the Li Family’s Easy Marrow Secret Technique, initiating the marrow’s resonance.

Yes, it was about resonating the marrow.

The perfected Li Family’s Easy Marrow Secret Technique had the ability to resonate the marrow.

Without having ingested the Easy Marrow Pill beforehand, resonating the marrow would be ineffective, and it could even cause damage to the marrow.

However, now that Lu Changsheng had consumed the Easy Marrow Pill and started resonating the marrow once more, the experience was entirely different.

He felt as if a warm stream had appeared within his marrow.

As he operated the Easy Marrow Secret Technique, this warmth grew increasingly intense, eventually developing a burning sensation.

But the more intense it became, the less Lu Changsheng could afford to stop.

This indicated that the Easy Marrow Pill was taking effect.

However, this process was far from easy and quite painful.

It was as if a fire deep within his bones was continuously burning.

Lu Changsheng remained resolute, enduring the pain without uttering a word.

This sensation continued for a long time.

For more than ten hours, Lu Changsheng endured the torment of this “burning.”

However, after one day had passed, the excruciating sensation began to gradually weaken until it disappeared.

“Swish.”

Lu Changsheng opened his eyes.

His expression was one of exhaustion.

“Is the marrow resonating now?”

Lu Changsheng muttered softly.

To be honest, he wasn’t entirely certain.

At the very least, the burning sensation had vanished.

Lu Changsheng lightly covered his chest.

He could hear the powerful beating of his heart.

“Thump, thump, thump.”

It was as though his heartbeats had grown stronger, and within his blood vessels, there was a faint, rushing sound.

It was as if his blood were surging.

At the same time, the vital energy and blood within Lu Changsheng’s body had unexpectedly begun to increase once again.

“My vital energy and blood are increasing again?”

Lu Changsheng was astonished.

Originally, his vital energy and blood had reached their limits long ago, but after his last blood exchange with the Blood Replacement Pill, his vital energy and blood had continued to increase for some time.

Now, his vital energy and blood were increasing once again, and the rate of increase was quite rapid.

Lu Changsheng closed his eyes, carefully monitoring the condition inside his body.

His blood was surging rapidly, and his heart was pounding intensely. Within the continuous rush of blood, it seemed that fresh blood was being produced.

This fresh blood continued to flow through his veins, rapidly enhancing his vital energy and blood.

“Wait a moment, is this new blood coming from the marrow?” Lu Changsheng thought.

Marrow is, in fact, a blood-producing organ.

Once it’s replaced with new marrow, its blood-producing capability is even stronger!

With this continuous cycle, the blood in his body grew stronger.

The quality of a person’s blood is crucial and directly relates to their overall physical condition.

Lu Changsheng had already undergone a blood exchange, and his blood was already very robust. Now, with the replacement of his marrow, his blood-producing capacity became even stronger, creating a virtuous cycle.

“The Easy Marrow Pill has been used and has completely merged with the Li Family’s Easy Marrow Secret Technique into the marrow.”

“Now, the marrow is gradually changing. However, it will still take some time to completely replace it.”

“During this period, all i can do is wait!”

Lu Changsheng now understood his own situation.

Replacing the marrow is a process that requires time.

It might take several days or even longer.

However, once the marrow replacement process begins, there is essentially no danger, and it just requires patience.

As usual, Lu Changsheng went to Miao Ren Tang.

As the weather gradually warmed, the number of patients seemed to have decreased significantly.

“Hmm? Dr. Wang, who is this?” Lu Changsheng was slightly surprised.

Beside Wang Ru Hai, there was a seven or eight-year-old girl, but her clothes were somewhat tattered, and she didn’t even have shoes. She looked timid and, upon seeing Lu Changsheng, she hid behind Wang Ru Hai.

Wang Ru Hai sighed and said, “Nan Nan, come out, this is Dr. Lu.”

However, the little girl still refused to come out and even appeared fearful in her eyes.

Wang Ru Hai explained, “Dr. Lu, 1 bought her on the way, it only cost one silver coin.”

Lu Changsheng was somewhat incredulous. He knew that the court did not allow slave ownership. However, in the current chaotic times, people were disregarding this rule. The practice of keeping slaves was widespread in society, but even so, one silver coin was an extremely low price.

“Dr. Lu, have you heard about the prefect calling on the wealthy and powerful of Nan Yang Prefecture to raise funds for the recruitment of troops to suppress the Big Desert Thirteen Riders?” Wang Ru Hai asked. “Can you guess how much was ultimately raised? Only three thousand taels of silver! Nan Yang Prefecture, while not considered wealthy, should be able to raise more than just a mere three thousand taels of silver. It’s just that these wealthy and powerful individuals are unwilling to contribute.”

“What will they do if there isn’t enough money and provisions? The prefect can only levy more taxes! This time, a ‘Suppress Bandits Silver’ was designated as an additional tax burden on the common people, causing them immense suffering.”

“In reality, the people most severely affected by the Big Desert Thirteen Riders blocking the trade route are the wealthy and powerful individuals. However, they are unwilling to provide even a small amount of money and provisions. Instead, the officials are imposing additional taxes on the common people.”

“Nan Nan’s parents couldn’t afford the ‘Suppress Bandits Silver,’ so they had to sell her. I saw that they were pitiable, and Nan Nan is indeed very sensible, so I decided to buy her. It’s just adding one more pair of chopsticks at the table.”

Wang Ru Hai had a kind heart, and he purchased the little girl to save her life, but he was helpless in the face of the turmoil.

Lu Changsheng now understood what “tyrannical rule” meant.

The government established various taxes and levies, including the “Suppress Bandits Silver.”

Countless extortionate taxes and miscellaneous levies had become rampant, and it was no wonder that the world was in chaos.

“Nevertheless, no matter what, when the official troops are mobilized, the Big Desert Thirteen Riders outside the city will eventually be wiped out, and the troubles within Nan Yang Prefecture will be significantly reduced. In the end, it’s a good thing,” Lu Changsheng said casually.

He was just a low-ranking physician, and even as a Dirty Refinement Realm martial artist, he couldn’t change anything.

“Let’s hope so,” Wang Ru Hai sighed, but he didn’t say anything more.

Time flew by, and several more days passed.

Every day, Lu Changsheng could feel the “marrow” gradually being replaced.

Or, to put it another way, new marrow was being “generated.”

The new marrow unquestionably had a stronger blood-producing capability, leading to daily improvements in Lu Changsheng’s physical fitness.

That’s why, for those below the Transcendence Realm, once they replaced their marrow and exchanged their blood, it became easier to become a Transcendence Realm martial artist.

This was because when they replaced their marrow and exchanged their blood, their physical fitness would be passively enhanced.

However, Lu Changsheng still needed some time to fully replace the marrow.

One day, Lu Changsheng was resting with his eyes closed in Miao Ren Tang.

Suddenly, Zhang Huan rushed in.

“Bad news! The official troops suffered a major defeat!”

“The Big Desert Thirteen Riders, along with a group of fierce bandits from the Green Woods, unexpectedly defeated the official troops. They made the official troops flee, abandoning their armor and returning to Nan Yang City.”

“Moreover, with the momentum of their victory, the Big Desert Thirteen Riders also attacked and plundered five nearby villages, killing hundreds of people to intimidate the Nan Yang Prefect’s yamen.”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed. How could the official troops suffer defeat?

Even if the official troops were weakened, they were still the imperial army. How could a mere group of bandits defeat them?

Wang Ru Hai anxiously asked, “Zhang Huan, what exactly happened? Is Nan Yang City still safe?”

Zhang Huan looked around and, seeing that there were no patients at the moment, whispered, “1 heard that the Big Desert Thirteen Riders joined forces with the White Demon and, with the White Demon’s help, the bandits managed to defeat the official troops.”

“However, Nan Yang City should be safe. After all, the Big Desert Thirteen Riders can’t attack the city.”

Wang Ru Hai breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Nan Yang City was still safe, that was enough.

“The White Demon?” Lu Changsheng understood.

The White Demon was the term used in the martial world or among the common people to refer to the White Lotus Sect.

The White Lotus Sect specialized in rebellion, not only in this dynasty but even in previous dynasties. Going back thousands of years, the White Lotus Sect had always been involved in rebellions.

There was a saying in the martial world: ‘The White Lotus is as enduring as iron, while dynasties flow like water.’

Over a thousand years, no matter who was in power, the White Lotus Sect always rebelled.

“These White Lotus followers fear nothing.”

“By joining forces with the White Demon, the Big Desert Thirteen Riders have made a name for themselves. The people of Nan Yang Prefecture are suffering even more,” Wang Ru Hai could only sigh..
