I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

However, no matter how surprised he was, since Zhou Heng had already confirmed his requirements, as a qualified logistics staff member, he didn't say anything more.

So he immediately went to the warehouse to retrieve a total of 10,000 meat essences and put them into a huge box.

Ten thousand meat essences, each weighing only one or two ounces, weigh only about a thousand pounds in total.

This weight was nothing to Zhou Heng, whose second-rate Yuanqiao was still intact. Without wasting any time, he immediately took the huge box and left the logistics department.

Looking at Zhou Heng's figure gradually disappearing into the distance.

Many staff members in the logistics department couldn't help but start talking again.

They had seen people who could obtain 100 military merits, but they had never seen ordinary soldiers be so generous as to exchange them for 10,000 meat essences at once, except for the centurions and captains who wanted to reward the resources to their many subordinates.

……

Whether your actions will shock others.

Zhou Heng didn't care. After all, this was just the beginning. He would probably attract the attention of the senior military officials after he took out all the bear bile and inner elixir he had obtained.

Go back to dorms.

While looking at the large amount of accumulated meat essence, he recalled the vague locations of the ninety-three new Yuan Acupoints that were found by the Yuan Power running around in his body.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth into a bright smile.

"It's time to continue training! It shouldn't be a problem to become a first-rate warrior during this retreat.

When I become a first-rate warrior, even if the military brats notice me when I hand over those bear gallbladders and inner elixir, they will probably consider my realm and act with discretion."

……

August 29, the 256th year of Daqing Qigong.

6:15 AM.

There are only a few hours left before the deadline for hunting down the Black Bear Demon.

Zhou Heng looked at his system panel helplessly:

[Negative status transfer system]

[Host: Zhou Heng]

【Life Level: Second Stage】

[Extraordinary Path: Martial Arts]

[Cultivation Realm: Extraordinary Second Realm〖Second-rate Warrior?6?1210 Acupoints (120 third-rate Yuan Acupoints; 90 second-rate Yuan Acupoints)〗]

[Transfer range: 20 meters (centered on the user)]

[Number of transfers: 36/40]

[Additional transfer times: 25]

[Current negative status: Mild fatigue.]

After nearly thirty days of hard practice day and night.

Zhou Heng never expected that he couldn't even open all the 93 Yuanqiao that he had found last time.

The difficulty of opening up the second-rate Yuanqiao is really too great. The further you go, the more Qi and blood are required to break through the Yuanqiao wall.

If it weren't for the improvement in his cultivation that caused the practice time of each round of Moon-Watching Breathing Method to continue to shorten, allowing him to use up more than 8,000 meat essences in these 30 days, he probably wouldn't have been able to open as many acupoints as he did now.

“Alas, I originally thought that this retreat would allow me to become a first-rate warrior, but I ended up overthinking it.

Nowadays, finding the acupoint is a matter of minutes for me, and it doesn’t take much time to open it. The only thing is that the speed of accumulating qi and blood is too slow, which greatly delays my progress in cultivation.

It's so hard to hold it in! If only there was a more efficient way to accumulate Qi and blood than the Moon-Watching Breathing Method..."

Zhou Heng couldn't help but sigh with melancholy in his heart.

After being melancholy for two and a half minutes.

He slowly gathered his thoughts, stood up and took the gallbladder of a mature black bear spirit.

He has already decided that when he submits the task of hunting down the black bear demon, he will only need to present the gallbladder of a mature black bear demon.

Although the remaining seven bear gallbladders will no longer bring him military merit, compared to that little bit of military merit, safety is more important to him now.

Only when he truly reaches the level of a first-class warrior can he rely on his own strength to confront the top brass of the military head-on.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to use the system's power in front of others. The senior military officials were not like those young people in Pingyang City. They would not be fooled so easily.

Once he uses the system's power in front of others and fails to silence everyone, the secrets he holds may attract the covetousness of powerful people.

By then, it would be difficult for him to obtain the cultivation methods above the first-class warriors from the Daqing officials.

So, for now, it is more profitable to stay safe for a while than to rush in.

As a steady madman.

Everything Zhou Heng does has always been based on interests. As long as the interests are sufficient, he will do it at any cost!

……

Come to the logistics department.

After handing over the bear gall and confirming that the task of hunting down the black bear demon has been completed.

Zhou Heng then exchanged all of his newly acquired thirty military merit points for meat essence.

The staff of the logistics department were no longer surprised by his love for meat essence, and they quickly prepared three thousand meat essence pills for him.

Take the new meat essence back to the dormitory.

Zhou Heng once again immersed himself in hard practice.

However, this time when he was practicing, he did not stay in the dormitory all the time like last time. Instead, he took time out every day to go to the martial arts hall, lecture hall and other places in the military camp to learn some basic knowledge of practice and enrich his knowledge.

As a result, although his cultivation progress was inevitably slowed down, it only took a few days for him to successfully open up all the new Yuanqiao that he found last time.

So, he once again activated the Burning Blood Tyrant Body to increase his Yuan power and collapse his Yuan Acupoints, causing the chaotic Yuan power to search for a new Yuan Acupoint location in his body.

……

September 17, the 256th year of Daqing Qigong.

Four quarters past midnight, just after midnight.

[Negative status transfer system]

[Host: Zhou Heng]

[Life Level: Level 3]

[Extraordinary Path: Martial Arts]

【修为境界：超凡第三境〖一流武者?6?1257窍（120颗三流元窍；120颗二流元窍；17颗一流元窍）〗】

(Note: One first-rate Yuanqiao is equivalent to one hundred second-rate Yuanqiao, and one second-rate Yuanqiao is equivalent to one hundred third-rate Yuanqiao.)

[Transfer range: 40 meters (centered on the user)]

[Number of transfers: 80/80]

[Additional transfer times: 25]

[Current negative status: moderate fatigue, slight tiredness.]

Looking at the brand new system panel and the completely consumed meat essence in the dormitory.

Zhou Heng couldn't help but reveal an extremely satisfied smile.

“Now that we have become first-rate warriors and have used up all our meat essence, it’s time to take the next step.

After daybreak, I handed over all the monsters' inner elixirs to gain military merit.

At that time, if the high-ranking military officials are alarmed, I will reveal my own realm to make them afraid, and at the same time hint to them that I am willing to use the method of quickly improving my martial arts realm in exchange for a method that is above the first-class martial artist.

If I can deceive them with this and allow me to obtain a more advanced method, I will directly defect from Daqing.

If they hadn't been scammed, I would have had more time with them."
