Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Liu Family Village.

Liu Chang'an and the chubby boy sat in the banyan tree courtyard with its green bricks and black tiles.

The two looked at the setting sun and listened to the heated argument coming from inside the house, both with indignant expressions.

The chubby boy suddenly stood up and shouted angrily into the room:

"I really don't know what's the point of arguing. The facts are right in front of us. Since Lu Cheng can refine medicine, why bother discussing it with that Zhang family?"

"I think some people deliberately disregard the interests of their clan and are only focused on consolidating their own power!"

These words were a direct attack on Liu Xun.

There was a moment of silence in the room, followed by a shout:

"Who gave you the right to speak like that? Get out!"

The sound came rapidly from the inside out.

As the last half of the sentence was finished, a dark-skinned man in his thirties had already strode out the door.

He picked up the broom that was standing outside the door and chased the chubby boy away.

"You've been spouting nonsense all day long. If I don't teach you a lesson today, what will you do in the future?"

Upon seeing this, the chubby boy took off running, leaving behind only one sentence:

"Alright, you wait here, I'll go find your father!"

This dark-skinned man was Liu Yi, the father of the little fat boy, and he was quite respected in the village.

If Liu Xun hadn't suddenly appeared, the position of clan leader would have undoubtedly been his.

Liu Chang'an quickly grabbed the man and spent a lot of time persuading him to stop.

But deep down, Liu Chang'an had already been cursing.

He and the chubby boy left the escort agency before dawn.

Without any delays on the road, they rushed back to Liujia Village at an extremely fast speed.

He immediately told Liu Xun and several other village leaders about Lu Cheng's ability to refine the Blood-Activating Powder.

The group discussed from morning until noon, and then from noon until sunset.

Almost a day has passed, and they still haven't reached a conclusion.

Liu Chang'an had held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help himself and said with some resentment:

"Uncle Yi, no offense, but is there any need to consider this matter?"

"The Zhang family's demands are clearly a trap for us. If there's no other way, we'll just have to grit our teeth and accept it."

"But now that Lu Cheng can refine medicine, why should we hesitate?"

Liu Yi waved his hand, his expression grave:

"Chang'an, this matter is not that simple. What you've seen is only the surface. Have you considered the other concerns?"

"Let's talk about Lu Cheng first. As you all said, his success rate in achieving the first pill is less than 20%. If we calculate it that way, it's actually about the same as the Zhang family's."

Liu Chang'an said urgently:

"Lu Cheng has only just begun refining medicine; the success rate is bound to increase further. How can this be..."

Liu Yi waved his hand:

"How can you guarantee that Lu Cheng's success rate in obtaining pills will definitely increase?"

"Even if we increase it, how much can we increase it by? How much time will it take? How many medicinal herbs will it consume?"

"What if he can't improve?"

"These are all things we need to consider."

Liu Chang'an was taken aback.

Liu Yi's words were indeed reasonable, leaving him momentarily speechless.

"this……"

This is actually a misunderstanding on their part.

They were, after all, too unfamiliar with alchemists.

If it were any other organization with alchemists, they would never think that way.

There is no direct correlation between an alchemist's skill level and the initial success rate of pill production.

Only look at the drug's effects and insights.

Lu Cheng's ability to refine the pill in one night demonstrates his exceptional control over the changes in the medicinal properties.

Ultimately, the success rate of pill formation depends solely on the skill of the practitioner.

Liu Yi shook his head, took a step back, and tried to make himself look Liu Chang'an at eye level:

"Or you kids just don't think things through."

"Besides, we've already been in contact with the Zhang family. If we tell them now that we've found a new alchemist, wouldn't that completely offend the Zhang family?"

"Can you guarantee that Lu Cheng will continue to refine medicine for us in the future?"

"This compensation is only a temporary hardship, but these two thousand acres of medicinal herb fields have been the legacy of our Liu family village for generations. How can we not consider the long-term implications?"

Liu Chang'an lowered his head abruptly and denied it firmly:

"Uncle Yi's words are somewhat biased!"

"If we're only talking about Lu Cheng's alchemy, then I have nothing to say about it. But if we're talking about 'generations upon generations,' then I absolutely cannot agree to the Zhang family's request."

"We are obligated to compensate for the loss of the medicinal herbs, and we would have no objection even if it meant selling the land."

"But if we just let the Zhang family do whatever they want with us, will we ever be able to hold our heads high again?"

"You agreed to them this time, but what about next time?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward, lowered his head even further, and his tone became even more somber:

"Besides, are we destined to be nothing more than farmers for generations to come? My Liu Family Village will one day have its own alchemists and Body Refinement Realm martial artists!"

"We can't just be 'Liu Family Village in Guzhai Town,' we need to be known as 'Liu Family of Yangcheng'!"

"Well said!" A voice, aged yet powerful, suddenly rang out from behind the courtyard gate.

The two turned their heads and saw the chubby boy following an elderly man in his sixties into the room.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Liu Yi first whispered "Dad," then glared at the chubby boy standing behind the old man.

"What are you glaring at me for!" the old man shouted at Liu Yi.

"You're such a grown man, yet you're not as sensible and capable as two younger people!"

The old man's arrival caused quite a commotion, and several people inside the house rushed out.

Among them were the old and the young, but the oldest was no more than the same age as Liu Xun.

Some call him "Old Clan Chief," while others call him Uncle.

Liu Xun bowed deeply and respectfully invited the old man into the house.

The old man waved his hand:

"Alright, let's talk here in the courtyard."

"I actually know pretty much about the situation, and I also know about your concerns. I'm old, and I've farmed all my life, so I don't have as much experience as you do. But I just want to ask one question."

At this point, the old man looked around at everyone in the courtyard and asked, word by word:

"Do you want Chang'an and Guicai to spend their entire lives farming?"

Silence fell over the courtyard for a moment.

After a long silence, Liu Xun finally spoke:

"Even if we entrust the alchemy to Lu Cheng, where will we get the necessary medicinal herbs?"

"The Zhang family's demand is 1,800 doses of the Blood-Activating Powder."

"Even with a success rate of 20%, that would still require 9,000 doses of medicinal herbs."

Currently, Liujia Village only has two truckloads of medicinal herbs, which is far from enough.

"Sell the land!"

The old man spoke with absolute certainty.

"Land can be sold, but integrity cannot be lost."

"Refine as much as you can. If it's not enough, just sell the land to compensate him. It'll only cost about 4,500 taels of silver and a few acres of medicinal fields."

……

Changfeng Escort Agency.

Inside the dormitory-style dormitory.

"In that case, I will wait for the medicinal herbs to arrive before starting the furnace."

Lu Cheng had assumed that Liu Chang'an and the chubby boy wouldn't be coming back today.

But just as they were about to go to sleep, the two of them came back unexpectedly.

But upon hearing about what happened in Liujia Village and the final decision, he was somewhat dumbfounded.

Just as I was about to ask Liu Chang'an to make another trip tomorrow to tell the people of Liu Family Village not to rush to sell the land and to try to buy medicinal herbs, I thought again and felt it was unnecessary.

Five days later, Liujia Village will have processed and transported all 600 sets of goods in two trucks.

I need to focus on my cultivation; I definitely can't finish refining six hundred doses of medicinal herbs in a short time.

Once the first batch of medicinal herbs is produced, Liu Family Village will undoubtedly go and purchase the herbs after learning about their success rate.

……

In the following days, Lu Cheng spent his time either taking the Blood-Activating Powder or sparring with Zhao Cheng.

With the daily administration of three doses of the Blood-Activating Powder, the strength of the internal organs grew stronger day by day, and the standing meditation practice steadily improved with an unstoppable momentum.

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Liu Chang'an and the chubby boy ran to the South Gate early.

According to the schedule, today is the day the medicinal herbs should be delivered.

At this time, Lu Cheng was still practicing his skills at the escort agency.

Ultimately, alchemy was a secondary matter.

【The Twelve Forms of the Black Eagle Stance】

[Grade: Low-grade human grade]

[Realm Level: Minor Success (295/300)]

The stance training is just one step away from mastery!

Lu Cheng suppressed his excitement and swallowed the third dose of the Blood-Activating Powder for the day.

As the medicine entered my stomach, a warm current that I had already become accustomed to suddenly spread, quickly circulating throughout my body, inside and out, and to every part of my body.

Lu Chengjing practiced his stance training with a calm mind. With regular breathing, his internal organs were constantly pulsating, transmitting a powerful force.

Within the golden light of his mind, the shadowy figure practicing stance training suddenly quickened his movements.

In reality, Lu Cheng also quickened his pace along with the shadowy figure.

The first nine forms of the Black Eagle Stance are performed effortlessly, then the order is suddenly reversed on both sides, and then the movements are completely at one's own discretion, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

The chest and abdomen expand and contract continuously with each breath.

Faint sounds, like the chirping of toads or the hooting of eagles, rang out continuously.

As the sounds grew louder, a mass of air began to move within the chest cavity.

Finally, it rushed towards the throat and came out through the mouth and nose:

"Roar~"

The sound was not loud, but it was like a charcoal stove that had been smoldering for a long time suddenly bursting into flames, making a muffled sound as it broke through the air in the furnace.

An invisible mass of energy seemed to suddenly rise around Lu Cheng.

The dust underfoot swirled and spread outwards with a "poof".

It only slowly fell when it was three feet away.

【The Twelve Forms of the Black Eagle Stance】

[Grade: Low-grade human grade]

[Realm: Dacheng (1/400)]

Mastery of stance training, late stage of internal strength cultivation!
