"Greetings, Young Master Duan."

Qiu Qingquan immediately kneeled down. Duan Ling Tian was slightly impatient. "Stand up and speak."

"This little one doesn't dare, Young Noble please enlighten me." Duan Jidao coldly snorted.

"Now you know fear? You are also the Fire Dragon City Lord. You can't even discipline your own child well, how can you govern a city? "

"Please forgive me, young master. Please forgive this lowly one's son for being imprudent."

"Hmph, any greedy official would say a few things. As long as their child commits a crime, they would just say that their godson wasn't strict enough. If his godson isn't strict enough, then he should be bullying the common people?"

At this moment, Young Master Qiu was still unaware that his father, a dignified City Lord of Fire Dragon City, was kneeling to a young man who was similar to him. He couldn't help but be enraged.

"Pui! Don't tell me you're from the imperial family? Why are you making my father kneel? Even the imperial family isn't afraid of you. Fire Dragon City is the territory of the Pill Sect. Besides Sect Leader Bu, who else would dare to reprimand my father?"

Qiu Qingquan was scared out of his wits when he heard this. He quickly covered his son's mouth and whispered a few words into his ear. Young Master Qiu finally understood what was going on and collapsed onto the ground.

After that, Duan Ru had Tianjao inform Bu Baoyuan, Bu Baoyuan came to Fire Dragon City and asked about the situation, which made Bu Baoyuan furious, and he immediately ordered him to remove Qiu Qingquan from the position of City Lord, demoted to a county magistrate to observe the aftermath, and his son Qiu Sanguan was convicted of violating the supreme magistrate, disturbing the public security, committing hegemony, committing crimes against the city, committing several crimes, and being punished with a sentence of 10 years' imprisonment.

The matter had just come to an end. Qiu Qingquan saw Bu Baoyuan's thunderous voice and knew that he had to protect himself. He was finally able to preserve the life of his entire family. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

In the world of cultivation and pill refining, it was not comparable to the imperial government's methods. The imperial government still had laws, so everything had to be done according to the rules. However, in the martial arts world, everything had to be done according to the rules of the game. The size of a fist was the sky. The biggest fist in Fire Dragon City was the Pill Sect's Sect Leader, and Duan Ru Yue was the sky that surpassed the Sect Leader. In the Fire Dragon Continent, no one was allowed to go against the rules of the heaven. Although Duan Jian was usually easygoing, it didn't mean that he didn't have the right to do so.

Qiu Qingquan had three sons, the eldest son, Qiu Datong, who was studying in the sect. The second son, Qiu Ertong, was studying in the sect.

Qiu Qingquan initially wanted to let his third son, Qiu Santong, study in the Pill Sect, but the sect's rules were too strict. Qiu Santong couldn't stand the restrictions and came back after less than a month. Qiu Qingquan had no choice but to give up. Coincidentally, by chance, he became Fire Dragon City's Mayor and decided to give Qiu Santong the position of Town Security, which was very consistent with Qiu Santong's temper.

After Qiu Santong took office, because his father was the Mayor and everyone was flattering him, his heart expanded rapidly. He had thought that in Fire Dragon City, the Lord of the Heavens was the number two and he was the boss, but he never would have thought that even his father, the City Lord of Fire Dragon City, was only a deacon of the Pill Sect. There were also dozens of inspectors and guards, let alone the head of the sect.

Even the heads of the Martial Ancestors, Yu Zong and Wu Zong, were vice heads of the Pill Sect. Although it was only a secret, the power they wielded was not something a single city lord could compare with. Qiu Qingquan knew this, but his son did not. This was also a mistake on Qiu Qingquan's part. He should have warned his son that the sky was not Qiu Family's, but Duan Family's.

When ordinary people were demoted, it was usually because their willpower was depressed. Just like Qiu Qingquan, he had been demoted from a position of being above the rank of one man and above the rank of ten thousand people to become a county magistrate. How big of a government official was that? The county magistrate was the fourth in command of a county town, commonly known as the fourth master. The first in charge was Zhixian County, the second in charge was a judge, the third in charge was food and money, and the county governor was the fourth in charge of the administration of security in the prisons of death.

However, Qiu Qingquan was different. He knew that in today's society, the right to have big fists was the right to have power. According to his current strength, he was only at the level of a supervisor. If he wanted to stay in the Pill Sect, he would have to enter a power that was similar to that of a deacon.

There was one simple method, and that was to join the Shadow Legion which would allow him to quickly improve his skills to the level of an inspector. However, he was too old, so he was not suitable for one reason, and he also couldn't endure the iron-blooded training of the Shadow Legion.

Qiu Qingquan could only find another way.

However, Qiu Qingquan was also very diligent in his work. Every morning, he would set the duty as his duty to try the case and would only hand it over to his assistant in the afternoon.

The path of cultivation was not something that could be accomplished through hard work. This was only one aspect, and it required a certain amount of talent and luck. Qiu Qingquan talent, hardworking heart, need a chance, but opportunities are not to be found.

However, opportunities were meant for those who were prepared. A person without determination would not be able to find opportunities. Qiu Qingquan was well aware of this point. He was already over 40 years old and needed endurance.

Qiu Qingquan knew that if he just kept it in the room, he would not be able to practice any profound arts. He would at least need a brilliant secret technique, where did the secret technique come from?

Qiu Qingquan thought of the ancient manuals and searched for them in the city square. Every day after work, he would not be on duty anymore. Instead, he would go to various marketplaces to look for it. As time passed, he would get familiar with them.

Besides, Qiu Qingquan was very generous. Even if they didn't buy it, they would give the booksellers some money to read the ancient books. Therefore, as long as new books arrived, many booksellers would notify Qiu Qingquan in advance.

As such, Qiu Qingquan browsed through a large number of ancient books, especially some ordinary cultivation methods, which were sold publicly in the market, and were mostly of yellow and black rank. As a result, Qiu Qingquan browsed through a large number of ancient books, especially some ordinary cultivation methods, which were sold publicly in the market, and were mostly of yellow and black rank.

His hard work paid off. Today, Qiu Qingquan wandered around the market and a bookseller found Qiu Qingquan.

"Lord Qiu, I have a Xuan level secret manual here. I'm in a hurry to make a move, are you going to buy it?"

"Heh heh, it's only a Xuan level manual? "Forget it, I can still make a profit even if I'm a Heaven Tier or Earth Tier." The bookseller sighed, "Sigh, I guess I'll have to buy it, it's really pitiful."

Qiu Qingquan asked what was going on and the bookseller told him the truth.

Recently, the child was sick and had no money to cure him. He only wanted to sell this Mysterious rank secret scripture in exchange for some money to treat the child's illness.

When Qiu Qingquan heard this, he felt pity. His heart softened and he agreed.

"How much is he selling it for?"

Qiu Qingquan sucked in a cold breath. 10 Tier 3 spiritual energy pills were worth 1 million silver taels. Not to mention treating his child, he even bought a villa.

Qiu Qingquan was suspicious, so he carefully read the book and found the secret.

This secret scripture was printed in an exquisite manner, but the technique was very rough, and there was something wrong with it. Qiu Qingquan's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this might be a slip of the tongue. He decisively took out ten Tier 3 spiritual pills and gave them to the bookseller, who gratefully took them and left.

Qiu Qingquan took it home and looked left and right, but could not find anything wrong with it. His heart was moved, and he was immediately drenched. Sure enough, a miracle happened: the original script disappeared and a line of words appeared: Qi Cultivating Secret Manual

Qiu Qingquan also didn't understand. This skill was split into heaven and earth, and was known to be classified as Wind, Cloud, and Thunder in large empires. What was this Qi Cultivating Stage? Qiu Qingquan was dumbfounded.
