Chapter 52 Two people in different scenes
A familiar white light flashed by, and Ding Yi noticed that although the herb packet in his hand looked the same, it seemed to have gotten a little heavier.
【Ginseng Essence Bone-Strengthening Powder】
[Made from century-old ginseng, with the tail and head removed, a small amount of ginseng essence is extracted and boiled down to produce marrow and nourish essence, strengthening bones and tendons.]
Looking at the words in front of him, Ding Yi smiled slightly, then carefully placed them aside.
Now everything is ready, all that's left is to perform the bone-forging technique.
Ding Yi had some thoughts on this bone-forging method.
The most life-saving method is naturally to obtain a complete bone-forging technique before strengthening the body.
Ding Yi's first thought was the martial arts school, but if he wanted to obtain the Bone Forging Technique within the school, he would inevitably have to expose his Skin Polishing Realm cultivation level. Ding Yi was prepared for this.
The second way is to obtain it from the Inspection Bureau.
Ding Yi learned from his senior brothers that serving in the Patrol Division allowed him to exchange merits for many things, including the Bone Forging Technique. However, this method was time-consuming and laborious, so Ding Yi didn't have much hope.
The last resort is direct enhancement, but this method consumes the most lifespan, and Ding Yi will never use it unless absolutely necessary.
"Let's go check out the Patrol Division tomorrow."
After thinking it over and over, Ding Yi had already made up his mind, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Ding Yi headed towards the patrol post outside the city.
Now that the skin-sharpening was successful, the natural course of action was to join the patrol department and obtain an identity. This way, not only could one come into contact with the evil energy, but one could also better conceal some of one's secrets. After observing for this period of time, it was found that the status of the officials was still quite high in Qingfeng County.
Soon, Ding Yi arrived at the gate of the patrol station in the outer city.
Two burly men with broad shoulders and thick waists still stood at the door, which made Ding Yi secretly gasp in surprise.
These two fat men are only affordable for the patrol department. If they were in an ordinary household in the outer city, they would be starved to death in three days.
After a slight hesitation, Ding Yi walked straight toward the gate of the patrol office.
The two people at the door noticed Ding Yi as soon as he stood not far away staring at them.
Seeing Ding Yi walk straight over, one of them glared at him and shouted:
"What are you doing!"
"Ah, brother, I'm here to take the challenge."
Ding Yi quickly replied.
"Accept the challenge? Are you a martial artist?"
The man was startled by Ding Yi's words, but his attitude immediately softened.
“Young master, although you are a martial artist, you still have to follow the procedures. This is the office of the Patrol Division, and the one that responds is next door.”
The burly man forced an awkward smile and then pointed to the bungalow next to Ding Yi.
"Oh?"
Ding Yi glanced in the direction the man was pointing, then cupped his hands in thanks, which startled the fat man so much that he almost knelt on the ground, repeatedly saying, "No, no, no."
In this world, the rules of social hierarchy are strictly enforced, and ordinary people must never offend the officials on the surface.
Once Ding Yi becomes a martial artist, he can at least obtain a respectable status in this outer city, which is not something ordinary people can afford to offend.
Ding Yi had only been here for a little over a month, and his mindset was still rooted in the modern atmosphere of humility and reason. His slightest politeness frightened the burly man into thinking that Ding Yi was trying to mock him.
Seeing the burly man's reaction, Ding Yi finally realized that the world he was in was no longer Blue Star. He sighed slightly and didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and walked in the direction the burly man pointed.
After Ding Yi left, the burly man wiped the sweat from his brow and said to his companion opposite him:
"That scared the hell out of me! This guy isn't that old, how come he's already a martial artist?"
"How was I supposed to know? I've been telling you to be careful every day. Don't let yourself get dragged down with me if you get targeted!"
The other person immediately cursed.
"How could I? I didn't know! It's strange, such a young martial artist is not common in the outer city, it's probably only found in the inner city."
The burly man scratched his head and muttered to himself.
On the other side, as soon as Ding Yi entered the adjacent bungalow, he found it to be very deserted.
Unlike the Bai family martial arts school where I signed up, there were hardly any people in the courtyard of this bungalow.
"anyone there?"
Ding Yi frowned and called out into the room.
Just as Ding Yi finished shouting, a voice came from inside the room.
"Who is it? Wait a moment."
Not long after he finished speaking, a person dressed in a light blue outfit came out from inside.
When the man came out, he was taken aback when he saw Ding Yi standing in the courtyard. Ding Yi was also taken aback when he saw the man. The two of them stood at opposite ends of the courtyard, staring at each other.
"Li Baozheng!!"
"Ding Hai?!"
The two shouted at the same time.
"You son of a bitch, you've got me killed!!"
The moment Li Baozheng saw Ding Yi, he started cursing and walked aggressively towards Ding Yi.
"Do you even know that I almost died in Xiaotan Village?!"
Li Baozheng reached out and grabbed Ding Yi's collar, but unexpectedly, his hand was caught in mid-air by Ding Yi's right hand and he couldn't move.
Li Baozheng, who had been furious, suddenly froze. He immediately shuddered and tried to push Ding Yi's hand away, but the next moment, he exclaimed in surprise:
"You little brat, you broke through the skin barrier?!?!"
Ding Yi held Li Baozheng's arm firmly, without budging an inch, and said with a smile:
"I was just one step away from success back then, but after settling down here, I finally succeeded."
"Good heavens, no wonder he was able to withstand my knife that day."
Li Baozheng's pupils contracted, and he muttered to himself.
He didn't really believe Ding Yi's words. After all, Ding Yi didn't look like a martial artist at all. Apart from his swordsmanship, which was somewhat remarkable, he was just an ordinary person.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Baozheng rubbed his aching wrist, thinking to himself that this kid had a lot of strength, and then asked.
"I heard that getting skin smoothing can get you into the Inspectorate, so I'm here to ask for a job."
Ding Yi said.
"Ha, do you even know why the Patrol Division is short-staffed? Are you sure you want to come in?"
Li Baozheng seemed to have heard something funny.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details."
Ding Yi said.
"Our patrol division is actually a secondary agency of the county government, specifically responsible for maintaining public order and preventing disasters throughout the county."
"Public order is one thing, but do you know how high the mortality rate is for this disaster?"
Li Baozheng chuckled as he looked at Ding Yi.
"How would I know."
Ding Yi shook his head.
"Let me tell you this: my colleagues have changed three times in the last three years. Luckily, I ran fast when we went to Xiaotan Village, or I would have died there too!"
Thinking of this, Li Baozheng was furious.
What happened in Xiaotan Village?
Ding Yi asked, feigning confusion.
"You son of a bitch, did you know there was a demon practicing evil magic there, but deliberately kept quiet?!"
"Damn it, the entire Xiaotan Village has become a cursed domain. If I hadn't escaped wearing your Taoist robe, I would have died there!!"
Li Baozheng roared.
