The Corpse Driver of Western Hunan: My profession panel has no upper limit.

Lu Jin turned around abruptly, preparing to grab the Soul-Suppressing Spear beside him for a "Looking Back at the Moon" attack, but upon closer inspection, he saw Lin Tianzheng, who looked worried and somewhat anxious, which immediately brought Lu Jin back to his senses.

"Ah Lu, why are you so nervous?"

"It's alright, Master, it's just a habit."

A smile appeared on Lu Jin's face. He realized that his killing intent perception had not been triggered when he came to his senses. This made him want to get rid of the person who wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

Less than a day!

I've actually let myself become so oblivious.

This is the enemy who hindered his martial arts cultivation, and he must eliminate it quickly using aerial techniques.

"The city is under lockdown, which conveniently allows you to postpone your corpse-driving ceremony legitimately, but your master has a bad feeling about it." Lin Tianzheng shook his head, then changed the subject.

"After searching around, I haven't found any top-grade medicines." Lin Tianzheng frowned. "The foundation you've built with top-grade medicines is what you're using for the next two rounds, so it's best to use top-grade medicines for the next two rounds as well."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin's expression darkened. Lin Tianzheng had already guessed that Lu Jin would not back down after he came to inform him of the Faceless Yama.

After spending so much time together, he had a pretty good grasp of Lu Jin's personality.

So he thought of bringing the visualization diagram of the dragon and elephant supporting the sky, which he used to break through the unity of will and energy, along with it. He also wanted to look for any top-grade medicines for sale in the city, just in case Lu Jin could break through again.

After all, in Lin Tianzheng's view, Lu Jin's talent was too exaggerated, and anything was possible.

Yesterday, Lu Jin said he wanted to extend the corpse-driving procession by a few days, so Lin Tian knew that Lu Jin wanted to take advantage of these few days to cultivate properly. This morning, Lin Tian took a stroll around Anyang County.

But they still couldn't find the supreme medicine.

"Top-grade medicines are priceless and unavailable, Master, there's no need to blame yourself."

Lu Jin waved his hand. Since Anyang County didn't have any top-grade medicines, they could buy them in other cities. If it weren't for the matter of the Faceless Yama, Lin Tianzheng had originally planned to go to Xiangdu, the ancient city of Xiangzhou Prefecture, to search for them.

Xiangdu has a large population and is extremely prosperous, so the chances of buying top-grade medicine are much greater. However, plans can change.

Since he didn't have a top-grade medicine to build his foundation, Lu Jin decided to forgo it and use a bottom-grade medicine to break through to the Qi Harmony stage. He would still be invincible!

"No, if you use top-grade medicine to build a foundation for the three major combinations, your depleted essence, energy and spirit will be completely replenished. After breaking through to the Dark Force, your martial arts path will be smooth sailing."

Lin Tianzheng looked serious. With Lu Jin's talent, he would have to sell everything he owned to ensure that Lu Jin used top-grade medicine to build a solid foundation for all three of his attacks, otherwise he would be harming Lu Jin.

"But top-grade medicines are extremely rare... I'm currently..."

As Lu Jin spoke, his mood grew increasingly irritable. Damn the Ren family! Damn the Faceless Yama!

If it weren't for this sudden turn of events, he would have already completed the corpse-transportation and returned last night, and Lin Tianzheng should also be arriving at the ancient city of Xiangdu soon.

Otherwise, why would he be in such a hurry to reach the stage of mutual understanding and harmony?

"Don't let me find you..."

As Lu Jin thought of the Ren family member who had shown murderous intent towards him, his eyes grew colder and colder. Just then, Lin Tianzheng quickly woke Lu Jin up with a smile on his face.

"It's alright. I came to talk to you about something else. Have you heard that Commander Hu has invited martial arts masters from Anyang County to hold a martial arts performance competition?"

"Hmm, I heard about it when I entered the city. Why, Master?"

Lu Jin was somewhat puzzled, but then Lin Tianzheng slowly said, "You want to participate."

Why?

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was puzzled. He didn't like to show off. People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. In such chaotic times, fame may have its advantages, but disadvantages may also follow.

Lu Jin disliked trouble.

If possible, he hoped that nothing could disturb him, so that he could focus on his profession panel and cultivate his martial arts in peace.

"First, there is a century-old white ginseng, which is a rare and valuable item. It is a powerful medicine that can replenish qi and blood as well as essence and spirit. Its effects are similar to the one you obtained before."

"Now that Commander Hu is distributing it as a reward, it's practically meant for you, so... you have to participate! Strive for first place; this is a top-grade medicine that will surely boost your morale!"

"The money saved can be used to buy more high-quality medicines to strengthen your body and replenish your energy."

Lin Tianzheng sounded excited. He had just inquired and found that the age limit for participating in the martial arts performance competition organized by Commander Hu was 25, and within that age range, the area around Anyang County was the only place to participate.

As far as Lin Tianzheng knew, there were very few people who could rival Lu Jin, or even any rivals at all.

So it really was prepared for Lu Jin.

Get it for free!

"In that case, it seems I have no choice but to participate."

Two days later, Lu Jin smiled and said that he didn't seem to have much reason to refuse the top-grade medicine.

"Ah Lu, the path of martial arts is one of struggle!" Lin Tianzheng reminded him. "If you don't have the ability, you can lie low. But if you have the ability, you should fight for it. Opportunities and resources in this world are always limited. If you don't fight for them, others will take them away."

"Master is absolutely right! I think so too."

Lu Jin stretched his limbs, but then another question quickly occurred to him: "What if Commander Hu changes his mind?"

"No, although warlords like him are brutal and ruthless, Anyang County is still his territory. He has no reason to slap himself in the face. The bigger the figure, the more he cares about face and substance."

Hearing this, Lu Jin nodded. He glanced at his panel and realized that a night of training had greatly improved his strength and class level.

【Corpse Driver LV5: (1034/5000)】

【Bajiquan: Harmony of Mind and Intention (1132/3000)】

【Power: 41.3→43.7】

Agility: 38.5 → 41.2

[Spirit: 37.2→40.1]

[Willpower: 40.1 → 41.6]

"At my current pace, my profession can be upgraded to the next level in three days. With my cultivation speed and a little more potential points, I can reach the Unity of Mind and Spirit stage."

"A top-grade elixir...we must obtain it!"

With a determined look in his eyes, Lu Jin and Lin Tian headed towards the registration area for the performance competition.

According to the rules, it costs 10 silver dollars to register for the competition, and 3 silver dollars to buy a ticket to watch the competition.

"Commander Hu certainly knows how to do business."

Looking at the long line of people in front of him, Lu Jin finally understood why warlord Hu Qiang wanted to hold this martial arts exhibition match. It was purely for making money, similar to a top-grade medicine like the century-old Changbai ginseng.

In Xiangdu, although it wasn't cheap, the price was usually around 300 silver dollars, which is why Lin Tianzheng went to Xiangdu to buy medicine for Lu Jin.

The reward from the Ren family, plus Lin Tianzheng's savings over the years, is enough to buy Lu Jin two top-grade medicinal herbs, and also some earth-grade medicines to strengthen his strength.

The fact that an item worth 300 silver dollars attracted so many people to sign up for the competition, coupled with the fact that wealthy families in the city enjoyed watching the excitement, meant that three silver dollars was nothing to them.

With this transaction, Hu Qiang did nothing but still pocketed at least several thousand silver dollars.

Soon, the long line of martial arts practitioners arrived at Lu Jin's place. The man in military uniform in charge of registration said impatiently, "Give me the money first, then report your name and which martial arts school you studied under."

"Lu Jin studied under other martial arts masters and never learned martial arts at a martial arts school," Lu Jin answered frankly, handing the other party 10 silver dollars.

Upon hearing Lu Jin's words, the man took the silver dollar and immediately flew into a rage. "Get out of here! Those who haven't joined a martial arts school can't register for the competition!"

"How can there be such a rule?" Lu Jin's tone hardened.

"Heh, kid, you're from out of town, aren't you? In this Anyang county town, Commander Hu's word is law."

His face was arrogant. "If you want to sign up for the competition, you have to become a disciple of one of the three certified martial arts schools near Anyang. There is one in our Anyang county. You only need to pay 50 silver dollars to become a disciple. Then bring your certificate to sign up."

Lu Jin: "?"

Lu Jin chuckled silently.

It turns out he had underestimated Hu Qiang's kindness; the 10 yuan registration fee was just the beginning, with other schemes to make more money.

No warlord is any good!

They all deserve to die!

Lu Jin took a deep breath. He really wanted to get back the 10 silver dollars he had handed over. It wasn't about the amount of money; it was his money, and he, Lu Jin, wouldn't give it away, and no one else could take it from him.

He had paid the money but hadn't been able to register. He even saw people holding martial arts school disciple certificates paying another 10 yuan for registration.

and....

The crucial point is that the city is under lockdown. The martial arts masters who had arrived here long ago were all dumbfounded. They couldn't leave the city, and they still had to spend money inside.

Hey!

Good guy!

Relying on a century-old white ginseng, Hu Qiang's operation earned him at least ten thousand silver dollars and boosted tax revenue in Anyang County. Even Lu Jin had to admit that he was a genius.

Those martial arts instructors who were just as bewildered as Lu Jin had already paid 10 silver dollars in advance, and when they heard that they would have to pay another 50 silver dollars to obtain a martial arts school disciple certificate, they wanted to give up, but they had already spent 10 silver dollars.

Sunk costs have already been incurred, and most people are unwilling to give up.

"Brother, forget it, just swallow this bitter pill. This is someone else's territory."

Perhaps sensing the fleeting killing intent emanating from Lu Jin, a man with a prominent beard pulled Lu Jin aside and kindly warned him.

Lu Jin thought about it and agreed. Killing a small fry wouldn't solve the problem. The important thing was to get his hands on this century-old Changbai ginseng, even though it was expensive.

"Thanks for reminding me."

"No need to thank me. My name is Zhang Fan. Seeing that you have plenty of energy, I'm sure you're quite strong. I'd love to have a match with you in the martial arts competition."

"Lu Jin".

Lu Jin cupped his hands in greeting and immediately left. Lin Tian, ​​who was waiting nearby, noticed Lu Jin's unfriendly expression and immediately asked with concern, "Has something happened?"

When Lu Jin explained Hu Qiang's actions, Lin Tianzheng was stunned.

"You can do that?"

"What can't a warlord do? Maybe his secret stash was stolen by Zhang San, so he staged this whole thing. Master, come with me to Benlei Martial Arts School."

...
