Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1372: Chapter 1374: A Word Strikes Like Thunder

”Just you wait!”

The old madman glanced around, spat some harsh words, and then turned to leave.

Now, it’s no longer a matter of whether he and the old poison want to fight or not; it’s that if he starts to fight, he might be targeted in secret and fall because of it.

”You better not stir up trouble!” The old poison exhaled deeply and turned to Li Jin: ”You’ve been here at Medicine King Valley for so long, you should have some feelings for it by now! Just give me some face!”

Without waiting for Li Jin to respond, the old poison turned and left.

”You belong to Lu Xiaobu, don’t you?” Zuo An suddenly walked over to Li Jin and said.

”You’re Master Zuo, right?” Li Jin nodded and greeted him.

”Hmm, just like Lu Xiaobu, same rotten behavior.” Zuo An chuckled and then quietly warned: ”You better not provoke that guy anymore; he’s a real madman.”

”Oh?” Li Jin was stunned.

Zuo An was crazy enough, and now he’s saying that old man was mad?

”Do you know what a Tripod Furnace is?” Zuo An smiled, and without waiting for Li Jin to answer, he explained: ”A so-called Tripod Furnace is more like a living elixir, nurtured over a long time, used at a critical point of cultivation to break through levels.”

Li Jin was bewildered, unsure what he meant.

”And that old madman treated his wife as a Tripod Furnace. Mo Wentian, though his son, wouldn’t have escaped his poison had it not been for a fortuitous encounter.”

Zuo An reminded him again: ”I think he’s angry with you for supposedly avenging father and son. In reality, he’s mad because you killed his Tripod Furnace!”

”What?!” Li Jin was shocked: ”Killing wife and son?”

”Yes, his cultivation technique is a bit sinister, and progress catches on fast with the Tripod Furnace’s help. But the side effects are severe, not only lacking endurance but also being bloodthirsty—I’m talking not about killing but drinking blood!” Zuo An said that, chugging a drink and leaving.

Offering a couple of warnings, selling a favor to Lu Xiaobu, it’s unnecessary to say more.

Suddenly remembering something, Li Jin asked, ”Master Zuo, is there a connection between the Blood Prince and that old madman?”

”No relation.” Zuo An waved his hand, stopped speaking, and left.

...

Time went by.

Lu Xiaobu, arriving in an RV, was not as quick as the Grandmasters who traveled by air or high-speed rail.

So, when the Grandmasters had arrived and even Xue Changzhi had shown up, it was half a day later before Lu Xiaobu arrived leisurely.

Lu Xiaobu parked the RV outside Medicine King Valley, leaving Zhang Meng to watch over it, then headed into the valley alone.

Today’s RV is not like it used to be. Before, leaving it anywhere was no big deal, but now if it’s accidentally tampered with, it’s a serious matter!

Entering Medicine King Valley, the disciples stared at Lu Xiaobu as if he were a rare animal.

But they dared not look directly and only peeked from corners like thieves!

”Is that the first Honorary Master on Jianghu?”

”Yes, I heard he’s a wealthy man with an excess of money he can’t even spend!”

”Moreover, the Master Token was initiated three times by him!”

”What are you doing? Don’t you know one cannot disrespect a Grandmaster or even look at Lu Xiaobu? Do you want to be cursed?”

”Exactly, exactly. Last time he came here, not only did he squander our precious Medicine King Valley resources, but he also made us lose a huge amount of money! Who knows what he’ll do this time!?”

”Sorry! Sorry! I walked out by mistake!”

”...”

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes at the chatter, still remembering the incident.

Don’t these people stay here all day, numbing their minds—a single event remembered for so long?!

Ignoring them, Lu Xiaobu went into the Inner Valley.

”Greetings, Young Master!”

Li Jin hurried over immediately.

”Hmm, how’s your cultivation going?” Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Reporting to Young Master, half-step Grandmaster!” Li Jin said proudly.

”Hmm, well done. You can leave now! Go find Zhang Meng.” Lu Xiaobu nodded in approval.

”Yes, Young Master!” Li Jin didn’t waste words.

However, before standing up, he told Lu Xiaobu about the old madman.

This wasn’t to ask the Young Master for revenge but rather to warn him about the madman, in case Mo Wentian’s matter might cause trouble.

”Killing wife for righteousness?” Lu Xiaobu squinted: ”Alright, I know, you go now. I’ll give you a chance to vent later.”

Meanwhile, he pondered over some matters.

Elder Yu once asked him about handling blood-drinkers and meat-eaters.

Could there be a presence like the old madman in the base?

”Thank you, Young Master.” Li Jin nodded and left Medicine King Valley.

”Everyone, long time no see.” Lu Xiaobu smiled at the Grandmasters gathered around the ancient tree.

”I’m okay, but I guess some people really don’t want to see you.” Zuo An shrugged, smiling.

”That’s what I figured, like someone who knocked me around—a damned fool!” Lu Xiaobu grinned and glanced at the old madman.

Lu Xiaobu’s unrestrained insult nearly made the old madman burst: ”Lu Xiaobu, don’t go too far!”

”Whoa, someone admits it?” Lu Xiaobu feigned surprise: ”So, you admit you’re the damned fool?”

”You!” The old madman was about to explode, murder in his eyes directed at Lu Xiaobu.

”Old madman, hold back! It’s the Master Token session; do you want everyone to attack you?!” The old poison stepped out with authority.

If Lu Xiaobu’s annihilating technique were unleashed, Medicine King Valley would be razed.

Thus, whether willing or not, he had to side with Lu Xiaobu today!

”Lu Xiaobu, hurry and discuss the matter! Forget the useless words! If you fight with the old madman, the Master Token will be invalid!” The old poison admonished both.

”Alright, I agree. We’ll talk about that later.” Lu Xiaobu shrugged: ”I summoned everyone not for other things but for one purpose: I’m preparing to spread martial arts worldwide.”

”What do you mean?” Xue Changzhi frowned, it’s his first time hearing this term.

Still slightly surprised, Lu Xiaobu actually gathered them for serious business?!

Heavens! Did the sun rise from the west?

”It’s simple, everyone, hand over all your cultivation techniques. I intend to promote them nationwide.” Lu Xiaobu said calmly.

His unusually calm words plunged the whole Medicine King Valley into silence!

Even Ye Changsheng, essentially considered one of Lu Xiaobu’s people in Jianghu, furrowed his brow!

Moreover, some were already poised for conflict!

Truly, a single statement, and thunder rumbles!
