Before long, numerous maids brought in a large amount of food, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, rice, noodles, and pastries, which filled a long table in front of them.
Upon smelling the aroma, Lin Qing suddenly felt a surge of appetite and his desire to eat increased dramatically.
He tore off a roasted lamb leg, bit off a large piece of lamb, and began to chew it heartily.
Before long, all the roasted lamb legs were gone, but Lin Qing was still hungry and not satisfied.
He understood that the transformation of his body had consumed too much of his vital energy, to the point that even pills couldn't replenish it, and he needed to replenish it with a large amount of nourishment.
While Lin Qing was indulging in a feast, the Soul Suppression Division had already issued a notice, rewarding the officers who had made contributions during the blood disaster with varying degrees of rewards. Among them, Lin Qing received the most generous reward, especially after being appointed as a candidate for Division Chief, which caused a great uproar throughout the entire Soul Suppression Division.
"A candidate for Chief Inspector? Chief Inspector Lin's promotion speed is too fast."
"That's right. If you're lucky, Lord Lin could have a chance to rise from a lowly clerk to a chief within a year."
"What exactly happened? How did Officer Lin receive such a reward?"
"It is said that the source of the blood disaster was an evil spirit, and that Chief Lin and Steward Wang worked together to kill this evil spirit. Otherwise, the blood disaster would not have ended by now, and countless people would have lost their lives."
"If that's the case, then Chief Lin is indeed qualified to be a candidate for Chief of Staff."
"Yes, but it is still extremely difficult to go from being a candidate to becoming the actual head of the department."
..
In Yang Chenglu's courtyard.
Lin Qing placed a clean beef bone on another table next to him, where the leftover beef, lamb, and pork bones had been piled up into a "small hill".
The maids nearby were utterly shocked by what they saw.
Although a martial artist's appetite increases significantly after their cultivation level rises, it is extremely rare to find someone like Lin Qing who can eat almost a whole cow in one meal.
"Sir, do you need more food?" she asked softly, suppressing her surprise.
"No need, I'm full!" Lin Qing waved his hand.
At this moment, the door creaked open and Yang Chenglu walked in, carrying a blue-green armor in his hands.
"Give it a try. This armor is called the Azure Armor. It is an excellent life-saving item. It can reduce the attack of a True Qi Realm martial artist by 80%, the attack of a True Yuan Realm martial artist by up to 50%, and the attack of a Yuan Qi Realm martial artist by up to 30%," Yang Chenglu said.
Lin Qing stood up and took the armor. It felt unique to his hand, as light as if it were nothing.
He quickly put it on; it was a half-armor, not a full-armor, which could only protect the vital parts of his upper body, but even so, it was an excellent life-saving armor.
"Lin Qing, why did you eat so much at once?" Yang Chenglu also noticed the pile of beef and mutton bones on the table.
"My lord, I felt unbearably hungry after I woke up, and I don't know why?" Lin Qing said.
"Perhaps you have been affected by the Yin energy, resulting in a deficiency of Qi and blood. This is a minor matter. If you are hungry, just eat as much as you like. The Soul Suppressing Division can satisfy you with this much food," Yang Chenglu said.
"Yes, sir!" Lin Qing nodded.
As Yang Chenglu spoke, he placed a small, dark green medicine bottle on the table.
"Here is the Soul Nourishing Pill you requested. During this time, you should focus on recuperating here and try to avoid going out. The city is not peaceful, and the Yin Yuan Sect may be eyeing you. If you have to go out for important matters, I will send someone to protect you secretly," Yang Chenglu said.
"Thank you, sir." Lin Qing nodded slightly.
After Yang Chenglu finished speaking, he turned and left. A while later, someone else came to the door, and it turned out to be Li Ping and others.
"Lin Qing, how are you? I heard you were unconscious for three or four days." As soon as he entered the room, Li Ping asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious, my injury will heal in a few days," Lin Qing said, first having the maid clear away the beef and mutton bones on the table, and then pouring a cup of hot tea for each of the four of them.
"Brother Lin, you're amazing! The Soul Suppressing Division just announced that you're one of the candidates for the Division Master." Wei Dong took a big gulp of hot tea, then spat it out as if he'd burned himself, grimacing as he spoke.
"Yes, Lin Qing, you're quite the celebrity in our Soul Suppression Division now. You might even become the Division Chief this year. I never dared to dream of it. You're amazing!" Ma Ziye exclaimed.
"It would be very difficult to become the Master within a year. There are only three Master positions, and the martial arts realm must be above the True Qi Realm. However, I don't care. Strength is the most important thing." Lin Qing rubbed his teacup with his hand and said softly.
"Lin Qing is right. We should have this mindset. Don't be trapped by fame and fortune. Our own strength is the foundation." Li Ping nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, Lin Qing, once you're healed, I want to ask you for martial arts lessons," Ma Ziye exclaimed.
"As long as you're willing to learn, I'll definitely teach you seriously," Lin Qing said with a smile.
"Brother Lin, me too, me too! I want to learn too!" Lin Shurou said with a smile.
So, for the next period of time, Lin Qing stayed at the Soul Suppression Division's residence to recuperate his soul.
The news that Lin Qing had been appointed as a candidate for the position of Director spread like wildfire throughout the entire prefecture.
The Luo family mansion.
"Master, something terrible has happened! That little beast Lin Qing has stolen the show during the Bloodbath and has already been appointed as a candidate for Chief of the Bureau. At this rate, he'll be Chief of the Bureau in less than three years! I regret it now. Tai'er has offended a powerful figure!" For the first time, Madam Luo was afraid. In her eyes before, no matter how talented Lin Qing was, even if he became a constable, he was just a poor boy from a small county town who couldn't cause any trouble. But now, she suddenly felt that Lin Qing might very well rise to prominence and become a prominent figure in the prefectural city. At that time, even the Luo family would have to look up to him.
Rowand was leisurely peeling an apple when he heard this and glanced at her.
"I told you long ago, Tai'er's personality has been spoiled by you. He doesn't respect anyone. However, this little beast doesn't know how to hide his strength. He won't be able to keep jumping around for long." Luo Wandeng sneered.
"Master, do you mean the Yin Yuan Sect is going to make a move?" Madam Luo asked.
"That's right. Lin Qing resolved the blood disaster. The Yin Yuan Sect originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos, hoping to use the blood disaster to distract the Zhenhun Division's officers and make a fortune in the city. But now, because of this kid Lin Qing, they've lost everything. Moreover, the talent this kid has shown is truly astonishing. Among the eight golden orders, his bounty has been raised to the highest level. That woman Deng Qianyu just sent someone to deliver a message to me, asking me to cooperate with a certain big shot from the Yin Yuan Sect who is lurking in the Zhenhun Division, and strive to kill Lin Qing within a month. This time, the Yin Yuan Sect is serious." Luo Wandeng said, gently placing the apple in his hand into the fruit plate beside him.
"The Yin Xuan Sect always says they're going to take action; I hope they won't make a fuss this time," Madam Luo said in a low voice.
"This time it won't be like that. I heard that the big shot is a True Yuan Realm martial artist, while Lin Qing barely has the combat strength of a True Gang Realm. As long as we can catch him alone, killing him will be a piece of cake," Luo Wandeng said calmly.
"Father, the latest batch of children has arrived. This group comes from the refugee camp in Qingshui County. Some of the disobedient ones had their legs crippled by me, and now they're all behaving themselves." At this moment, Luo Tai's shouts came from outside.
"I'll go take a look," Rowandeng replied, getting up and leaving.
