Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Lu Cheng opened his eyes.

Feng Qi and the other two had already appeared in front of them without them noticing.

All three of them made no attempt to hide their shock.

After more than twenty days, he entered the later stage of refining internal strength.

In the minds of the three, this was absolutely unique!

Feng Zhan reached out and patted Lu Cheng on the shoulder, nodding repeatedly:

"Great, that's really great!"

Feng Ji also smiled and said:

"I originally thought you were just ambitious, but it turns out you have a lot of confidence."

"In that case, we can rest assured."

"There's something I can tell you now."

Lu Cheng had always been curious about what kind of method it was to transmit sound secretly, and what it would be like to hear it.

Now I've experienced it firsthand.

Feng Ji used the technique of transmitting sound secretly when he said these words. Lu Cheng saw that Feng Ji's mouth opened and closed without any abnormality, but his voice was somewhat weak and muffled.

It's like two people speaking softly, only exhaling, without their vocal cords vibrating.

"The Chen and Lin families found Shen Yi a couple of days ago and participated in the competition with the same stakes."

"Now it's essentially four companies competing against each other. As for how the final showdown will be, it will probably be either defending the title or challenging for it."

Lu Cheng was startled upon hearing this.

The Chen family and the Lin family martial arts school had previously threatened the Changfeng Escort Agency.

I never expected that I would finally be unable to hold back.

Just as Lu Cheng was about to reply, he heard Feng Ji's secret telepathic message again:

"No need to answer. It's good that you know this. In fact, it gives us an advantage."

Lu Cheng nodded; Feng Ji was indeed right.

Whether defending a title or challenging another, it's a one-on-one battle. If you can demonstrate strength far exceeding that of others, you might be able to intimidate them.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lu Cheng will be the only disciple from Changfeng Escort Agency who can go on stage.

After saying this, and instructing Lu Cheng not to neglect his martial arts practice, Feng Qi and the other two left.

This scene naturally attracted the attention of the other disciples.

However, no matter how much they speculated, they didn't know that Lu Cheng had entered the late stage of the Refining Strength realm.

……

Unlike Feng Qi and the other two, who were filled with helplessness, Lu Cheng was full of excitement.

"The Chen family and the Lin family martial arts schools."

Another fifty thousand taels!

All together, that's 150,000 taels of cultivation resources.

Even if most of it is left to Changfeng Escort Agency, the rest will be enough for Lu Cheng to complete his Body Refinement stage cultivation.

With the Mandate of Heaven in hand, Lu Cheng has no need to worry about any thresholds or bottlenecks.

With enough elixirs, what we lack most is time.

For example, right now, how can we reach the pinnacle of internal strength training more quickly?

In the later stages, what needs to be done is to unify internal and external forces and generate strength through integrated power.

Lu Cheng still remembers the power of Xue Yin's punch.

The amount of strength is secondary; the key is the domineering force, which is truly frightening.

Compared to Xue Yin's strength, Lu Cheng's strength was like paper.

Upon contact, it broke through Lu Cheng's defenses step by step with unstoppable force.

Previously, Lu Cheng did not understand why the gap was so large.

Only now, as I've entered the later stages of the process, do I understand.

The combination of these two forces, one internal and one external, is like the interplay of yin and yang. Against Lu Cheng's single force, it would be an overwhelming force.

However, if the two were to fight again now, even if Lu Cheng were no match for him, he would not be defeated so easily.

"Oh, right, and martial arts techniques!"

Lu Cheng was suddenly startled again.

Xue Yin's charged-up sword move was truly terrifying.

Although I won't give him another chance to build up his strength next time, there's no guarantee that I won't have other methods.

The three chieftains of Zhenwu Camp had long since reached the pinnacle of their internal energy cultivation, and their martial arts skills were probably already at an extraordinary level.

The Seven Strikes of the Black Eagle and the River-Blocking Halberd Technique must be mastered!

Otherwise, it will not be enough to deter them.

Time is still very tight.

Lu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It began to reach out with its claws towards the wooden dummy in front of it.

Before long, before Lu Cheng could even break a sweat, the chubby boy and Liu Chang'an ran in.

The two went straight to Lu Cheng as soon as they entered.

After standing still, before even catching his breath, he couldn't wait to speak:

"Lu Cheng, the medicine... everything has arrived. We'll do as you say and transport it to Zhao Cheng's place. When do we start?"

The sun had already set, but both of them were covered in sweat. Although they didn't urge each other, they clearly hoped to finish as soon as possible.

"Now that we're here, let's begin today."

Lu Cheng stopped his stance and followed the two to Zhao Cheng's courtyard.

At this moment, next to the corner in the courtyard where Lu Cheng had placed his alchemy furnace, thirty or forty large bags were neatly stacked.

It contains pre-processed medicinal herbs.

This time, it wasn't just people transporting medicinal herbs who came.

The chubby boy's father, Liu Yi, and the clan chief, Liu Xun, also came over.

Their main purpose, of course, was to see just how good Lu Cheng really was.

If it's not as Liu Chang'an and the other person said, then we still need to make other plans.

After exchanging greetings, Lu Cheng and the other man stepped forward to examine the medicinal herbs.

The medicinal herbs are arranged by category, and each stack is labeled with a name.

It's immediately clear what's in each bag.

Furthermore, all the medicinal materials were already prepared, requiring no further processing or handling by Lu Cheng.

The charcoal and oil paper were also processed.

Lu Cheng nodded, and without further ado, immediately began to ignite the fire to refine the medicine.

Liu Xun and Liu Yi remained silent, simply watching Lu Cheng refine the medicine.

As the alchemy furnace changed color, Lu Cheng didn't weigh the herbs; he simply grabbed a handful and threw them into the furnace.

"this……"

Seeing Lu Cheng's "casual" attitude, Liu Yi frowned.

"Brother Xun, do you think this is reliable?"

When Liu Xun heard Liu Yi ask this question, he couldn't help but shake his head.

Although they had never seen how other alchemists made medicine, they knew that they had to control the weight of each ingredient.

Lu Cheng's casual attitude made both of them uneasy.

"Well, it's already been decided, what can we do? Let's wait and see."

Lu Cheng had already overheard their discussion, but he ignored it.

His alchemy method was learned from [Heaven's Mandate], and every step can be said to point directly to the source.

If we were to process these six hundred medicinal herbs one batch at a time, as a normal alchemist would, it would take who knows how long it would take.

The saying goes, "If there's too much water, add flour; if there's too much flour, add water." Lu Cheng made no attempt to hide his "casualness" in front of the others.

Each time they added medicinal herbs, the group frowned.

But strangely, nothing unusual ever happened inside the alchemy furnace.

A quarter of an hour passed, and as Lu Cheng pulled the firewood out from under the stove, a strong medicinal fragrance slowly wafted out.

"This...it really worked?"

Liu Yi stared at the alchemy furnace in disbelief.

Once the flames under the furnace had completely died down, Lu Cheng deftly opened the furnace lid.

A large handful of white powder appeared inside the furnace.

At a glance, there are at least a dozen.

Liu Xun was so captivated by the sight that he stared in disbelief.

His eyes kept darting between Lu Cheng and the alchemy furnace.

As the most learned person in the village and the only one who received guidance from that adult, his knowledge far surpassed that of others.

Naturally, they also knew that Lu Cheng's method of alchemy was extremely unusual.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and immediately said to Liu Yi:

"Ayi, tomorrow morning, go back to the village and tell the old clan chief to immediately mobilize all the clansmen and make sure to use every penny of silver to buy medicinal herbs."

Liu Yi wasn't stupid; he instantly understood Liu Xun's meaning.

He then praised and replied:

"I'll leave at daybreak tomorrow. I'll personally go and buy the medicinal herbs."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng stopped cleaning the alchemy furnace and turned to the two of them, saying:

"Clan Chief Liu, Uncle Yi, we must not rush to purchase these medicinal herbs."

"The situation is special now. I'm afraid the medicinal herbs won't be able to get into Yangcheng County and will be taken away by those bandits again."

"In my opinion, we need to devise a plan first to deal with that band of bandits."
