In this world, if there was any cultivation technique that could help him break through the bottleneck without stopping his cultivation, then this cultivation technique would definitely be one of the best, such as the Bone Ablutionary Scripture.
This was the terror of bottlenecks. As for the bottleneck brought about by the Bone Ablutionary Scripture, as long as you kept on taking the Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead or the God Nurturing Pill, and then continued to cultivate, you would definitely be able to break through the bottleneck. This gave everyone the hope that as long as you continued to cultivate, you would have a chance to break through the bottleneck.
Of course, if your talent was truly poor and you didn't cultivate diligently, then it was possible that you would break through bottlenecks much more often than others. It could be a year or two, or it could even be 10 to 20 years, and it was also possible that you would only be able to cultivate to the second or third level your entire life.
It's because your life is too short.
The third level of the Bone Ablutionary Scripture caused Xu Taiping's combat strength to soar from 40,000 to 80,000. This was a terrifying increase! It was exactly the same with the name 'rebirth' on the first level. Xu Taiping seemed to have been reborn on this level.
Xu Taiping was suddenly anticipating the changes the fourth level would bring him after he broke through to the third level.
According to what had happened before, once he reached the fourth level, perhaps his combat strength would surpass 90,000, and he might even approach 100,000. Then what would happen after that? What if he reached the fifth, or even the sixth? Didn't that mean he was going to defy the heavens?
The morning sun shone through the window onto Xu Taiping.
Xu Taiping finished his night of meditating. He got up from his bed and went downstairs.
Tomorrow would be the final day of the world's strongest martial arts gathering. Xu Taiping had perfected the third layer of the Bone Ablutionary Scripture yesterday and had practiced until this morning, but there hadn't been any changes to his body at all. It could be seen that he wouldn't be able to break through this bottleneck even after a short period of time.
Xu Pingping had asked Xia Jinxuan and the others who were also cultivating like him before, and he discovered that their progress was much slower than his own. Among them, the fastest one had only reached the second level of the Bone Ablutionary Scripture, and even if they reached the second level, the difference in their combat power would be as great as if they were cultivating to the second level of the Bone Ablutionary Scripture.
Xu Taiping reckoned that the Bone Ablutionary Scripture varied from person to person. Some people could have tens of thousands of battle prowess when they reached the second layer, while others could only have a few thousand battle strength when they reached the second layer. The only difference was the difference in their physiques.
Xu Taiping went downstairs, made himself a pot of Da Hong Pao, and turned on the TV.
The moment the television was switched on, the sound of a gong could be heard outside the door.
"What is that sound?" Xu Taiping frowned and asked.
A servant pushed open the door and walked in quickly.
"Master, someone has come to our doorstep to pull the banner." the servant said.
"Pull the banner?" Hearing that, Xu Taiping was stunned, he asked, "What's going on? What banner? "
"He said he was in arrears in the payment of his salary." the servant said.
"Wage arrears?" Hearing this, Xu Taiping was even more confused, he asked, "Who is delaying the payment?"
"I don't know about that." The servant shook his head.
"I'll go out and take a look!" Xu Taiping got up and walked out of the house.
Outside the villa was the lawn, and outside the lawn was the wall.
In the middle of the wall was an iron gate. At this moment, a group of people were gathered outside the iron gate.
This group of people looked like they were workers because many of them were still wearing hard hats. In their hands, there was a long white banner with a few words written on it.
"Where is the logic in Taiya Group delaying the payment!"
Opposite the group of people, there were quite a few reporters taking photos with their cameras. In addition, there were also a lot of passersby taking pictures with their phones in their hands.
"Go ask him what's going on." Xu Taiping said to the subordinate beside him.
"I know what's going on." Guan He walked over to Xu Taiping and said.
"What's going on?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Didn't we set up a Taiya Square in the city center last year? At that time, I found a construction team to do the work. When the construction was completed at the end of last year, I transferred the project funds to the construction team. As a result, the construction team's boss took the money and ran away. Guan He said.
"How much is it?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Not much, a total of 20 million yuan. The construction team's boss ran away without paying for the salary, and these people started making trouble everywhere if they couldn't get the money. The disturbance in the square was dispersed, but I didn't expect them to find us here." Guan He said with a frown.
"What's the use of them making trouble for us? Didn't we already give them money? " Xu Taiping said.
"Yes, it was given. The contract clearly states that the construction workers' salaries will be borne by them, and the construction project fees will also be included in the payment." Guan He said.
"Let's go and take a look outside with me. Jin Xuan is about to give birth soon, we can't let these people do whatever they want!" Xu Taiping walked forward until he was in front of the iron gate. Then he said to his men, "Open the door."
The subordinate nodded and opened the iron gate.
Hearing the commotion, the crowd at the door immediately became excited, and all of them rushed towards the entrance.
"Stop right there!" Xu Taiping snapped.
This roar of rage directly silenced the people at the entrance, causing them to stop in their tracks.
"Find someone in charge to come out and talk to me." Xu Taiping said.
"I am the one in charge." A man in his forties, wearing a yellow hard hat, walked out from the crowd and walked in front of Xu Taiping, asking, "You're Xu Taiping, right?"
"It's me, and you are?" Xu Taiping asked.
"My name is Huang Ya Zhu. "I brought my bros here today just to discuss about the salary with your Boss Xu." the man in the yellow hard hat said in a harsh tone.
"We've already given you a salary." Xu Taiping asked.
"You gave it to him? "We have so many brothers, yet not a single person has received any money. Boss Xu, you're a businessman, we have so many brothers, we worked for your construction site for a year last year and not a single cent has been received, this is really unjustifiable. Today, we've come here precisely for Boss Xu to give us an explanation. Huang Jinzhu said loudly.
"Give us the money!" Someone shouted after him.
"Give us the money!" The crowd roared.
Xu Taiping frowned and looked at the people at the door.
He roughly estimated that there were more than 200 people who came to his house this time and there were still a lot of them. If the 20 million that the boss of the construction team took away was all their wages, then on average, each person would be owed around 100,000 yuan. For these workers, this was a huge sum of money.
"Speak properly, what are you shouting about?" Xu Taiping scolded.
Boss Xu, if you don't give us the money, we'll just cause a ruckus here. I know you're a big shot, but you also want face. We don't want much. Huang Dazhu said.
"Isn't it 20 million?" How did it become twenty-five million? " Xu Taiping asked.
"We've been asking for money ever since we finished the project. After these past few months, we've been working less, so we'll ask for more than 5 million to compensate everyone. You're so rich, so why don't you give us 5 million? "Boss Xu, as long as you hand us the money, we'll leave immediately!" Huang Dazhu said.
Hearing Huang Duozhu's words, Xu Taiping's face suddenly darkened.
As far as he was concerned, he really pitied these people, working hard for a year and not getting a single cent, this was something no one could do. Even though Xu Pingping had already given him money before, it wasn't impossible for him to get him to take out 20 million to pay these people wages. In any case, he could just arrange for the 20 million to go to the boss of the construction team to bring them back. What did it mean to just give them the money and leave?
So, after hearing what Huang Guda said, Xu Taiping's face darkened and he said, "First, I didn't get my money from there like a storm. Even though five million is like fifty cents to me, but, your father's money, even if it's only a dime, I still won't casually give it to anyone. Second, I've already given you the money to go find your boss. Third, I'm not afraid of anyone threatening you, you people, leave my house now or else you guys can just wait for the police."
"Boss Xu, you're forcing our hand!" Huang Duozhu stared fiercely at Xu Taiping, "You're a big shot, and we're just a bunch of migrant workers. We came here just to get back the money that belongs to us. If you force us, then we'll just die!"
"Death by fish?" You think you're qualified to fight me to the death? " Xu Taiping said in disdain.
"I still don't believe that there is no law in this world! Brothers, if this Xu Taiping doesn't return the money, then we won't leave for a day! "Xu Taiping, return the money! Xu Taiping, return the money!" Huang Tuo shouted loudly.
"Send the police over." Xu Taiping said to Guan He.
"En!" Guan He nodded, then picked up his phone to call the police.
"Brothers, I heard that this Xu Taiping's house has a lot of valuable things. Everyone, charge at them, take them out and sell them to pay us!" Yellowstone suddenly let out a loud shout and rushed towards the open metal door.
The two hundred or so people behind him also couldn't help but rush towards the metal door when they heard his shout.
