From breaking the limits of archery to achieving martial arts godhood

Chapter 94 The Whereabouts of the Smiling Golden Ginseng, and the Conspiracy

Wutong Lane is named after the sycamore trees that line both sides of the lane.

In autumn, many people come here in groups to enjoy the scenery.

"Number 18, Wutong Lane, this should be it."

Chen Xun stood at the door of a house.

After carefully comparing the house numbers, I went up and knocked on the door.

Soon, a voice came from behind: "Who is it?"

It was a female voice.

"Introduced by Master Yuan."

Chen Xun replied.

"Master Yuan, I understand."

Then, footsteps approached, the door opened, and a young woman in her thirties appeared.

The young woman had a full figure and a beautiful face.

She first looked Chen Xun up and down before speaking, "Since you were introduced by Master Yuan, you must be here to ask for medicinal herbs, right?"

"good."

Chen Xun nodded.

"What kind of medicinal herbs do you need? I'll check if we have them in the medicine storeroom."

The woman asked directly.

"Smiling Golden Ginseng, a thirty-year-old Smiling Golden Ginseng."

Chen Xun quickly replied.

"Okay, I understand. You wait here, I'll go look for it for you."

After saying that, the woman closed the door, leaving Chen Xun to wait outside.

Chen Xun didn't have to wait long before the woman opened the door again, her hands empty.

She looked at Chen Xun with a slightly apologetic expression and said, "We do have Smiling Golden Ginseng, but the oldest is only about twenty years old; we don't have the thirty-year-old one you're looking for."

Chen Xun was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

Just as he was about to leave, the woman continued, "However, if you really need it, I can provide you with a location where my husband once found traces of the Smiling Golden Ginseng."

"It's just that the place is dangerous, with a lot of venomous snakes, so my husband didn't dare to go deep in."

L

"But according to my husband, based on his experience, there is likely some old medicine here that is thirty or forty years old."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xun's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Where is the location?"

Then he saw the woman smiling at him without saying a word.

Chen Xun was taken aback at first, but then he immediately realized what was going on.

"How much?"

"One hundred taels."

"No, it's too expensive. It's just an address; who knows if the Smiling Golden Ginseng I need is actually inside?"

"Ten taels."

"You're haggling way too much, ninety taels."

"It's still too expensive, twenty taels."

After some haggling, the two parties finally agreed on a price of fifty taels.

After receiving the address, Chen Xun set off immediately.

The woman took the fifty taels of silver notes given to her by Chen Xun and handed them to a man inside the room.

The man was thin with dark skin, but his eyes were very bright.

The man smiled with satisfaction as he took the silver note from the woman.

"Not bad, another 50 taels for free."

"My lord, when will your leg be healed?"

The woman wasn't too concerned about the 50 taels; she was more interested in the man's leg injury.

"Don't worry, Madam, you'll be better in another month."

As the man spoke, he pulled the woman over and they became intimate.

The woman outwardly agrees, but secretly, when the man can't see, she shows disgust.

After serving the man, the woman tidied her clothes and makeup and then went out.

Finally, she arrived at a house, looked around, and seeing that no one was around, she began to knock on the door.

The door opened quickly, revealing a rather handsome man.

Upon seeing the woman, the man and woman immediately embraced.

Once the door was closed, the couple became passionately intimate, like dry tinder meeting a raging fire.

Afterwards, the handsome man embraced the naked woman on the bed and asked, "How's the black monkey?"

He said his leg would take another month to heal.

"Is that so!"

The handsome man seemed lost in thought.

"Have you found the treasure map?"

"Not yet. That old man hid it very well. I searched the whole house, but I couldn't find it."

The woman answered helplessly, then asked with even greater doubt, "Is there really a treasure map?"

"Of course it's true. The information I received is accurate. This black monkey's real name is Wu Zhen. He is a remnant of the Wu family from twenty years ago. Before the Wu family was wiped out, they secretly transported a batch of family wealth out of the city."

"Wu Zhen escaped death twenty years ago, but he never left Changfeng County. He disguised himself as a herb hunter and spent his days wandering among the mountains. Wasn't he just trying to find that treasure?"

"You said that Wu Zhen likes to draw the places he has been."

"Then he will definitely draw down the location where the Wu family's treasure is buried."

The handsome man spoke with great confidence.

"I don't have much time left. In three months, it will be the clan's grand competition, followed by the Four Directions Martial Arts Tournament."

"I must achieve good results in the clan competition, then participate in the Four Directions Martial Arts Tournament, and successfully make a name for myself, Yang Zhenfeng."

"Only if I am noticed by the higher-ups of the clan will I have the opportunity to cultivate the clan's supreme martial arts and break through to the Divine Treasure Realm."

Thinking of the glory of breaking through to the Divine Realm, Yang Zhenfeng subconsciously exerted force, and then heard the woman scream.

"You're hurting me."

"I'm sorry," Yang Zhenfeng quickly apologized.

After some gentle care, the woman's smile returned.

"Lingling, one month. If you haven't found the treasure map by this month..."

"Then you can mix this powder into his food, and I'll personally interrogate him to find out the whereabouts of the treasure."

A fierce look appeared on Yang Zhenfeng's face.

Torture is a last resort, and it means that things will become irreversible.

If he could force the other party to confess, that would be fine, but if the other party resisted to the death, then all his plans would fail.

Wu Zhen's demeanor did not suggest a lack of resolve.

Therefore, Yang Zhenfeng always acted in a roundabout way.

Only now, with time running out, is he preparing to take a radical step.

"I see."

Lingling carefully took the bottle of medicine powder and nodded solemnly.

On the other side, Chen Xun left Changfeng County according to the address and arrived at Jinsha Peak, fifty miles away.

There is a stream next to Jinsha Peak, and it is said that someone once found gold sand in the stream.

Then people came to pan for gold.

Unfortunately, no one gained anything.

However, the stream and the adjacent mountain peaks were subsequently given names.

The stream is named Jinsha Stream, and the mountain peak is naturally named Jinsha Peak.

Jinsha Peak is about 600 to 700 meters high, and the mountain is covered with dense forests.

As Chen Xun walked through the dense forest, insects and snakes would occasionally harass him, crawling into his clothes.

"I was in such a rush that I forgot to bring insect repellent incense."

Chen Xun crushed a brightly colored venomous snake to death with one hand, his face showing a hint of helplessness.

These snakes, insects, and rodents couldn't break through his defenses, but they were disgusting enough.

Along the way, Chen Xun encountered several waves of wild beasts.

A group of wild boars, a pack of wolves, and a black python seven or eight meters long.

Chen Xun will ignore them unless they launch an attack first.

If they attacked first, they would almost certainly become victims of Chen Xun's blade.

For example, the pack of wolves attacked as soon as they met, as if Chen Xun were easy to bully.

In the end, they were all wiped out by Chen Xun.

Finally, Chen Xun arrived at his destination, a mountain cliff.

The cliff is located on the back of Jinsha Peak. It is a cliff more than 100 meters high and appears to have been the site of a landslide.

The cliff surface has many crevices and is densely covered with various kinds of vines.

Chen Xun had good eyesight and could see that snakes, insects, and rodents often passed through those crevices.

Especially the snakes, some of which even clung to the vines and disguised themselves as vines.

With a "splat," Chen Xun stomped on and killed a small venomous snake that had swum to his feet.

"No wonder the herb gatherer didn't dare to go down."

After observing for a while, Chen Xun sighed.

If he hadn't been in a hurry to use the [Smiling Golden Ginseng], he wouldn't have considered going down there after seeing this situation.

"I'll give it my all for cultivation."

Chen Xun gritted his teeth, picked a sturdy vine, and began to explore downwards.
