Chapter 44 – Breakthrough, Teaching You a Thing On Behalf of Your Parents

Lu Sheng exhaled a long foul breath, and he felt much more relaxed.

“Breakthrough!”

Lu Sheng slightly clenched his fist and could clearly feel his Blood Qi Value skyrocket by a large amount.

“The growth in BQV means that my physique has also improved, and I can continue practising the Stellar Body Refining Technique. I estimate …”

Lu Sheng sensed internally for a while, “I should be able to generate six times the Stellar Power.”

This meant that his Combat Power Index would also have skyrocketed again.

In fact, Lu Sheng felt that all these gains were secondary, and his biggest gain today was figuring out the correct way to practice the Natural Breathing Technique during the climb.

“Rapid stamina recovery, greatly enhance endurance, constant stimulation of my potential … these are all fine during regular practice, but the same were applied during actual battle, the results would simply be terrifying …”

Just imagining Lu Sheng, who with his Natural Breathing Technique possessed the ability to rapidly recover his stamina, endurance that was few times or even dozen or so times of that of an ordinary martial artist, and this process could continuously push him to surpass his physical limits.

Under such conditions, not to mention the martial artists of the same level, he could even wear down opponents that were much stronger than him.

It was simply like getting stronger as he met stronger opponents.

“With the breakthrough in BQV and the discovery of the herb that is required for the Marrow Nourishing Pill, my purpose in coming to Shuhai has been fully accomplished.”

Lu Sheng felt relaxed.

He had come to Shuhai City for the Marrow Nourishing Pill. One of the medicinal herbs for the Marrow Nourishing Pill needed to be freshly picked to be effective, and this medicinal herb was only available on the Wild Fox Mountain.

Lu Sheng had come to the Wild Fox Mountain to buy the medicine, and happened to climb up the mountain. Unexpectedly, he achieved a breakthrough in both his BQV, and as well as his Stellar Power.

The path Lu Sheng took up the mountain was steep and difficult to walk, and no one usually took it, so there was no platform leading to the mountaintop.

Lu Sheng just stood there to enjoy the scenery, almost completely recovered, and then slowly walk down the other way.

Going down went much slower than climbing up.

When he reached the foot of the mountain, a dark-skinned, short, and thin middle-aged man squatting by the roadside smoking saw him and immediately walked up.

"Young man, the herbs you want have been picked. It's not far away. Come with me."

Lu Sheng nodded, followed the middle-aged man.

Because the herbs that Lu Sheng wanted, had to be freshly picked, he had hired a man to pick them for him.

The dark-skinned, thin middle-aged man led him to a rather remote location, with several bamboo medicine baskets on the ground.

Lu Sheng saw four or five men standing not far away, as if they were waiting for something, and now and then glanced up towards them.

“The medicine is in the basket.”

The middle-aged man casually picked up a medicine basket and handed it to Lu Sheng.

The basket was filled with light purple herbs. Some of them still had dew and soil on them. They looked like freshly picked herbs.

Lu Sheng was very satisfied and nodded his head. "Okay, I want ten of them. According to the previous agreement, five hundred for each, that's five thousand …"

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man shook his head.

"No, it's a thousand per stalk, and you have to buy all the herbs here."

“What?!” Lu Sheng frowned.

The middle-aged man smiled at him, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth.

“Little friend, you are not a native of Shuhai, right? …”

As he spoke, a few men who had been standing at a distance slowly walked over and stared at Lu Sheng with malicious intent. Obviously, they were in cahoots with the middle-aged man.

Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the thin middle-aged man in front of him: “Are you trying to force a deal?”

The dark and skinny middle-aged man sneered. "Kid, let me teach you something on behalf of your parents. When you're outside, you have to admit defeat. Do you understand?

“Don't even think about calling the police. There are no surveillance cameras and no one else here. Even if the police came, they wouldn't believe a foreigner like you.

“Pay the money honestly and save us from being rude to you.”

A few men with a fierce look on their faces were about to surround Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng thought about it, bent down and picked up a fist-sized rock from the ground. It was the kind of large cobblestone that was used to pave the road. It could be seen everywhere.

“Still want to resist? Little brat!”

The middle-aged man's eyes turned cold, and he was about to order his men to charge at Lu Sheng, but the next moment, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Swish-swish-swish!

A large amount of pebbles, no bigger than half of a little finger, fell from between Lu Sheng's fingertips. As Lu Sheng continued to rub his fingers, these pebbles were quickly ground into even smaller particles.

The middle-aged man and the group behind him looked dumbfounded. They stared blankly without uttering a single word.

“What did you just say to me?” Lu Sheng looked at him with a calm face.

“Nothing … Nothing …”

The middle-aged man took a few steps back, his dark face was pale with fear as he stammered and spoke: “Take everything, no money! I won’t charge a penny!”

Behind him, several other men were looking at Lu Sheng as if they had seen a ghost; palpitating with fear.

Lu Sheng shook the dirt off his hands. Under the dust, his palms were clean as earlier.

Lu Sheng casually picked up a medicine basket, walked to the middle-aged man said solemnly: “I will also teach you a thing on behalf of your parents. While doing business, you should always be honest, and never deceive anyone. Be it young or old.” He walked away after saying that.

The middle-aged man and his companions stood in place for a long time. It was only when Lu Sheng's figure had disappeared for a long time that a sentence came out of his mouth.

“Fuck, are all the high school students so fucking perverted, nowadays?”
