Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

"It's you..."

Li Yuanwai quietly retreated behind the crowd and spoke in a deep voice.

"You took a picture of the first Blood Sun Flower, and instead of sneaking home, you came looking for me. You've got some nerve."

Li Mubai crossed his arms and coldly stared at the arrogant guy in front of him.

There were about ten of them, all of them martial artists. Zhang Shisheng from the Black Mountain Gang was an absolute master of the Transformation Realm. With such a force, they could practically walk sideways in a place like Black Lion City.

This person, knowing full well that their target was the Blood Sun Flower, still dared to come looking for them. He was simply ignorant of his own limitations and courting death!

"My good disciple, it's only been a few days, and you don't recognize your teacher anymore?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of doubt appeared in everyone's eyes.

The coldness on Li Mubai's face faded. "Teacher? Could it be that you are...?"

Chen Han smiled faintly, took off his straw hat, and revealed his face.

"Teacher, it really is you! I thought you were dead after not seeing you for so long."

Li Mubai was outspoken and had completely lost all of his former respect and admiration.

Chen Han naturally didn't care about these trivial matters and just smiled faintly.

"But teacher, did you actually take a picture of that Blood Sun Flower?"

Chen Han was about to speak when Li Mubai spoke first, and upon hearing this, he was slightly taken aback.

After regaining his senses, he spoke frankly, "That's right, I did indeed photograph this Blood Sun Flower, and it's on me right now."

Li Mubai's smile widened, and Master Li stepped forward from behind the crowd.

"So it's my young friend Chen Han, hahaha, you covered your face so well, I didn't recognize you at first."

"In a place like this, one should not easily show one's face, otherwise one may easily invite disaster."

As he spoke, Chen Han couldn't help but look at the young man with severed arms and legs in the mud. He didn't know when, but the young man had lost too much blood and was no longer moving. He had obviously died.

Master Li stared at Chen Han, his face immediately lighting up with a shrewd smile, his eyes revealing a calculating glint. He continued, "Young friend Chen Han, do you still remember the three hundred taels of silver you got from that maid last time?"

"Of course I remember, but it was money that Miss Mu Yun gave me willingly; it was money that saved her life."

How could Chen Han not know that the shrewd and calculating Master Li was up to something? He just wanted the Blood Sun Flower.

"Young friend Chen Han, you jest. That money was earned by her father. If I don't say I'm giving it to her, it will always be mine. How could it become the property of a woman like her?"

"Oh, Dad, this is troublesome."

Li Mubai interrupted impatiently, "How about this, teacher? You give the Blood Sun Flower to your disciple, and your disciple will go back and compensate you for your loss."

Chen Han smiled faintly, looking back at Li Mubai with interest, "What if I don't hand it in?"

"Then teacher, you can keep these two company in the underworld."

Looking at Li Mubai, Chen Han simply couldn't reconcile him with the man who once respected his teachers and worked hard to protect his family.

"Teacher, I advise you not to be ungrateful. If it weren't for the fact that you once taught me martial arts, you would have been dragged to feed the dogs by now."

Chen Han didn't seem to care. "Aren't you afraid the Chen family will find out and retaliate against you?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mubai couldn't help but laugh out loud, and everyone around him was amused as well.

"Teacher, you are really naive. The Chen family has declined now, and your proud backer has collapsed. Even if there are still one or two capable fighters, they would not dare to easily touch my Li family. Do you know why?"

"Oh? Why?"

"It's alright to tell you this; it's the Black Mountain Gang."

"The Chen family has fallen on hard times and its influence is not what it used to be. If we cooperate with them again, my Li family will definitely lose money. So we turned to the Black Mountain Gang."

"Now that my Li family has the protection of the Black Mountain Gang, what are those useless trash from your Chen family compared to us?"

"However, speaking of which, your Chen family still owes my Li family a lot of money, and you even went so far as to use women to pay it off. Now, most of my three wives and four concubines are daughters of the Chen family, which is quite a unique experience."

Chen Han listened to the news Li Mubai delivered with complete indifference.

However, her feelings towards Li Mubai were quite different from before.

He has changed. He has successfully entered the path of martial arts and has become a true martial artist. He has completely changed in the days since.

The Li Mubai who strived to protect his family is gone; in his place is a Li Mubai who is greedy, unscrupulous, and heartless.

The Chen family took them in when they were in trouble and helped them out. Now that the Chen family has fallen on hard times, they have left and joined the opposing forces. When they left, they treated them coldly and did not forget to kick them while they were down.

This reveals the ungrateful and ambitious nature of Li Mubai and his son, the wealthy Li.

Chen Han didn't say much about it, nor did he childishly raise any questions.

Chen Han looked at the two of them, his smile gradually fading and turning into a blank expression. "Considering that you have been kind to me in the past, I will make an exception and spare your lives today. From now on, I will have no further connection with your Li family."

Li Yuanwai and Li Mubai were stunned for a moment, unable to react for a long time.

At one point, I finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Teacher, you were never this overconfident before. How did you become so stupid now? I used to regard you as a role model. Now it seems I was blind."

Back then, Chen Han was just a lowly commoner who was bullied to the point of almost losing his family by a minor leader of the Black Mountain Gang. If they hadn't given him a way out, he would probably be dead on the roadside by now.

And now, these lowly people are saying they'll make an exception and not kill them—it's an absolute joke.

When Chen Han left, they only felt a little sorry for him and didn't pay much attention to it, let alone inquire about him.

As for Chen Han's family, they had long been forgotten. Only Li Muyun, that idle girl, would occasionally go back to visit and inquire about Chen Han's whereabouts.

"Alright, enough said, young friend Chen Han. Quickly hand over the Blood Sun Flower to me. Whether you live or die depends on your foolishness."

Master Li's gaze was icy as he squinted at Chen Han.

In fact, even if Chen Han handed over the Blood Sun Flower, he would still kill this person today. Although the Chen family had fallen on hard times, they were still not people they could surpass.

Even a starving camel is bigger than a horse. Rather than letting Chen Han go back to complain, it's better to solve the problem once and for all and prevent future troubles.

Chen Han is a man of his word. He had already given them one chance out of consideration for past favors. Since they wouldn't accept it, Chen Han had nothing more to say. Let them all die here...

"Since that's the case, then there's nothing more to discuss. Come at me all at once."

The crowd burst into laughter again.

"Come at me together? I'm afraid you and the Blood Sun Flower will be reduced to ashes. You all step back, I can handle it alone. It'll also be a good opportunity for me to experience your...fist, teacher."

Li Mubai took the lead and walked towards Chen Han, but was pulled back by Li Yuanwai who noticed something was wrong.
