Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Both Liu Xun and Liu Yi wore expressions of hatred.

The current predicament of Liujia Village is entirely caused by those bandits of unknown origin.

But immediately, a sense of lingering fear arose in my heart.

Lu Cheng is right.

The robbers have not been dealt with. If Liu Family Village transports medicinal herbs again, they will inevitably be robbed again!

Liu Xun immediately bowed to Lu Cheng:

"Young Master Lu, if you have any plans, please enlighten me!"

Lu Cheng quickly said "I dare not," and helped the person up:

"To be honest, this plan is rather mediocre, and the risks are considerable. I wonder if Liu Family Village is willing to take the risk?"

Liu Xun stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes:

"Damn! Young Master Lu is absolutely right. Since that robber has already robbed us once, why would he show mercy and let us go a second time?"

"If there's a chance to resolve this, it would avenge the innocent deaths of my Liu Family Village villagers and the theft of our medicinal herbs. How could I possibly let this opportunity pass!"

Liu Yi, standing to the side, also wore a solemn expression.

The chubby boy said angrily:

"Damn it, Zhu... those bandits who are worse than pigs and dogs, I wish I could tear them to pieces!"

"Lu Cheng, what's your plan? Tell me quickly!"

He wanted to mention the Vermilion Bird Martial Arts School, but then he thought that the matter was still unresolved and that his own father was just an ordinary person, so there would be no benefit in bringing it up now.

Lu Cheng didn't keep them in suspense and said to them:

"The last group of robbers consisted of four mid-stage Qi Refining members and ten early-stage Qi Refining members, and they also planted a hidden mole beforehand."

"This shows that their strength has reached its limit."

"So my solution is very simple: we will lure them out of their hole and go to Yunshan County again to transport medicinal herbs, so that they will take action. We will lay an ambush in advance and then wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"If we're lucky, we might be able to get back the lost medicinal herbs, with interest!"

Liu Yi was puzzled:

"But where will we get the medicinal herbs?"

Liu Xun shook his head:

"Of course it's fake. Besides, the purpose this time is to eliminate bandits, and the medicinal herbs are just bait."

After saying that, he frowned slightly, revealing his inner worries:

"Young Master Lu is right. If we can lure the snake out of its hole, we will indeed have a better chance of winning."

"But how are we supposed to face those four mid-stage Qi Refining martial artists and ten early-stage Qi Refining martial artists?"

"What if even more martial artists appear?"

Lu Cheng nodded slightly:

"Rest assured, clan leader. If it's the same people again, Zhao Cheng and I will make sure they don't leave alive!"

"Even if we can only catch one or two, it will be enough to prove who is behind them."

"As for whether it will attract even more powerful martial artists... we need to control the quantity of medicinal herbs this time so that it is not too large."

"Firstly, it might actually draw out people we can't handle. Secondly, if things become unmanageable, we'll have to abandon the convoy, which will inevitably increase costs."

Last time, Lu Cheng not only protected the two carriages, but also had the strength to catch up with the bandits.

If they don't improve this time, they really won't be able to return alive.

Not to mention the support of Zhao Cheng, who had been working diligently for a long time.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Lu Cheng finalized his decision:

"That's settled then. In ten days, once this batch of blood-activating powder is finished, prepare a few more cartloads of fake medicinal materials and set off for Yunshan County."

Lu Cheng still has twenty-nine doses of Blood-Activating Powder, which he will refine in ten days.

Furthermore, the six hundred doses of medicinal herbs can be basically refined.

It's just right to hand it over to the Zhang family for use as initial compensation.

The group then stopped arguing.

I witnessed firsthand how Lu Cheng refined the Blood-Activating Powder batch after batch.

This greatly surprised the group.

……

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

Early the next morning, Lu Cheng and his companion each carried a long halberd and stood outside the south gate of Yangcheng.

In the spring breeze, Lu Cheng's consciousness swept across his sea of ​​consciousness.

【The Twelve Forms of the Black Eagle Stance】

[Grade: Low-grade human grade]

[Realm: Dacheng (175/400)]

……

Seven Strikes of the Black Eagle

[Rank: Mid-grade Human Rank]

[Realm Level: Minor Success (27/300)]

……

[River-Blocking Halberd Technique]

[Rank: Mid-level Human Rank (Upgradeable)]

[Realm Level: Minor Success (34/300)]

……

In just ten days, Lu Cheng's cultivation underwent a tremendous transformation.

The Xuan Ying stance skill has taken another step forward, reaching a state of "half-step perfection".

Significant progress has also been made in the Seven Strikes of the Black Eagle and the River-Blocking Halberd Technique.

There are exactly two months left until the competition.

Before the competition, there was no problem with perfecting the stance training.

But the chances of mastering both martial arts techniques are slim.

Even though Lu Cheng possessed the "Destiny," his progress slowed drastically after achieving a minor level of mastery.

With the daily practice time remaining constant, proficiency only increased at a rate of single digits.

At this rate of progress, Lu Cheng estimates that he can only reach the Great Mastery stage at most.

"Da Cheng, that should be enough, right?"

"Of course that's enough." Zhao Cheng patted his chest upon hearing Lu Cheng's whisper. "As long as they're not late-stage martial artists, even two or three of them won't be able to gain an advantage under my halberd."

"Besides, aren't you involved too?"

Lu Cheng's improvement in strength really startled Zhao Cheng.

Leaving aside realms of skill, let's just talk about martial arts techniques.

Ten days ago, the two were evenly matched, and fighting for twenty or thirty rounds was not a problem.

But as time went by, even with the River-Blocking Halberd Technique, Zhao Cheng could only withstand six or seven moves.

"You're such a freak."

Lu Cheng shook his head, without explaining what he meant.

Zhao Cheng had been living in Liujia Village, and no one had publicized the competition.

Therefore, they knew nothing about what would happen two months later.

After listening to Feng Ji explain the rules of the fight, Lu Cheng no longer intended to invite Zhao Cheng to help him.

Besides martial arts skills, Lu Cheng's crafting of six hundred doses of Blood-Activating Powder also brought his skill to perfection.

Unexpectedly, Lu Cheng failed to refine the "superior blood-activating powder" that Zhao Cheng had described even once.

It's likely that the entire batch was refined, which resulted in imperfect furnace control despite the skill being perfect.

This dashed Lu Cheng's hopes of trying high-grade pills.

As the two were talking, a convoy of cars drove up from a distance.

There were only six large trucks in the team, almost half the number from the last time.

The number of people escorting the convoy was also less than last time.

Before the convoy arrived, Lu Cheng quickly gave instructions to Liu Chang'an:

"Chang'an, after we set off, you sent someone to deliver this letter to Xue Yin's house. I went to the south of the city these past few nights and the thieves have basically disappeared."

"This shows that even if Xue Yin was unaware of the seventeen families' secret schemes, he definitely had suspicions and might have even caught them."

"This is an excellent opportunity, and I don't think he'll let it slip by."

"With the Zhenwu Battalion here, our chances of success will be much greater."

Liu Chang'an nodded.

The caravan was now close enough that the two men stopped talking and rode off together into the caravan.

Besides Lu Cheng and his companion, and the people from Liujia Village, there were also six hired guards in the convoy.

……

The convoy drove off in a grand procession, without encountering any accidents for two consecutive days.

Three days later, it was still near the same location as the last attack.

Six large trucks were traveling in front and behind.

Lu Cheng and Zhao Cheng escorted the convoy one after the other.

After traveling for a short while, just as they were about to merge onto the main road, a dozen or so figures appeared in the distance, and the convoy immediately stopped.

Lu Cheng suddenly tightened his grip on the halberd, let out a cold snort, and stepped out from the crowd with the halberd.

"They've really arrived!"
