Chapter 4: Searching for Medicine

  "Ah!"

  Wei Hongmeng opened his eyes, let out a long breath, and after a night of cultivation, he fixed his martial energy at the second rank of Martial Artist, but most of it was still wasted.

  "It seems that I must get rid of the poison in my body first, otherwise, I won't be able to cultivate the Barbaric Bull Fist. Right, let's go to the family warehouse."

  Wei Hong thought of this and suddenly stood up, opened the door, and found Xiao Ye standing outside, ready to serve him, but was waved away by Wei Hong.

  "I'm going to the family warehouse, you go do something else!" After coldly instructing Xiao Ye, Wei Hong left his own small courtyard.

  Every Wei family child, when breaking through a product repair, can rely on the Wei family waist card to take some medicinal materials or pills from the warehouse. Wei Hong is also thinking of taking this opportunity to see if there are any medicinal materials he needs in the Wei Fu warehouse.

  "Hey! Isn't that Wei Hong? What is this useless thing doing here?"

  Turning his head, he saw a thirteen-year-old boy in a hemp garment, with a large knife on his back, looking at Wei Hong with a mocking expression.

  "Wei Long, a younger son of the Wei family, cultivates martial arts with second-grade aptitude."

  Wei Hong's mind recalled memories and said in an icy tone: "What does this have to do with you?"

  "It seems that Wei Wulü said you have a bad temper, it's really true. If I didn't want to leave you for Wei Bao, I would have taught you a lesson earlier." Wei Long said gloomily as he looked at Wei Hong.

  "Sick!" Wei Hong gave a faint glance at Wei Long, turned his head and left. He didn't have much time to waste on such passersby.

  "Did I let you go?"

  Seeing Wei Hong turn around and walk away, a flash of anger appeared in Wei Long's eyes. He quickened his pace, blocked Wei Hong's path, stretched out his right hand, and stopped him in his tracks.

  "Really?"

  This kid's movements are so quick, Wei Hong thought to himself.

  "I've already mastered the Shadow Step technique, haha." As if knowing what Wei Hong was thinking, Wei Long burst out laughing, but his laughter suddenly stopped.

  Bang!

  Wei Long was blown away like a kite, while Wei Hong was in the midst of throwing a punch, although he hadn't practiced the Fierce Ox Fist yet, but based on his understanding from his past life, he put all his strength into that one punch.

  "Cough, cough." Wei Long stood up and started coughing violently, his face turning pale. At this time, there were also a few young men from the Wei family who were preparing to come to the warehouse, and they all saw this scene, each with a hint of interest on their faces.

  "Wei Hong, you actually launched a surprise attack?" In Wei Long's view, Wei Hong had just broken through to the second-grade cultivation, while he himself had done so last year. Therefore, he was unguarded and was caught off guard by Wei Hong's sudden attack.

  Wei Long slowly drew out the large knife on his back, Wei Long's main cultivation was in knife techniques. Looking at Wei Long's appearance, Wei Hong didn't put it to heart, even though he was only a second-rate warrior now, but his soul perception was still that of a martial arts master.

  "Stop."

  Just as Wei Long was about to take action, a loud shout rang out, and when Wei Long heard this voice, his angry face suddenly became calm, quickly putting away the big knife.

  Between the two of them, a green-clothed youth suddenly appeared, with a gentle smile on his face. However, no one underestimated him, for he was Wei Wuyou, the number one master of the Wei family.

  "The Eldest Young Master." Wei Long looked at Wei Wuyou with a hint of respectful smile, while Wei Hong remained expressionless.

  "This is a place of family importance, if you want to fight, go to the arena, however, Wei Long, you have to wait for Wei Hong and Wei Bao to finish their match first!" Although Wei Wu You was openly scolding him, Wei Hong still felt that this little white face had a hidden needle in his words.

  Wei Wuyou finished speaking and looked at Wei Hong with a smile, but what made him depressed was that Wei Hong actually went to the warehouse, without even acknowledging himself.

  "It's interesting."

  Wei Wuyou's face changed, and then he smiled lightly.

  "Big brother, why didn't you let me catch him just now?" Wei Long asked, looking at the back of Wei Hong.

  "This kid actually proposed a life-and-death duel with Wei Bao in the arena, so naturally, he would be left to Wei Bao, and at that time, he could also severely slap the face of the Wei Song faction. What's not to be delighted about?"

  Wei Wuyou explained it briefly and then told Wei Long not to bother Wei Hong for the time being before leaving.

  "I really didn't expect it, but Wei Hong actually broke through to Martial Artist Second Rank?"

  "Yes, no wonder he dared to challenge Wei Bao, but this kid just didn't even give the young master any face."

  "Never mind, two days later we can watch the play with peace of mind."

  Other boys who saw this scene nodded and discussed it, while at this time, Wei Hong had already arrived in front of the warehouse door.

  The Wei family has two important places, one is the Wuji Pavilion and the other is the warehouse. The Wuji Pavilion stores all the martial arts skills of the Wei family, while the warehouse is where the Wei family keeps its most precious medicinal materials.

  The treasury was not established on the ground, but underground. It is said that this underground palace had already existed since the day when the Wei family built their mansion. The entrance was in a separate courtyard, and this separate courtyard was also the residence of the guardian of the treasury, Sun Bo.

  When Wei Hong saw Sun Bo, a flash of sharp light flickered in his eyes. The ordinary and unremarkable old man had dull eyes, sat in the courtyard with his eyes slightly closed, but Wei Hong felt a hint of danger from him.

  "Martial artist of the highest rank."

  Wei Hong still sensed Sun Bo's level with his extremely strong spiritual power, and with this body now, under Sun Bo's hands, he would probably be killed in one move.

  "I have reached the second rank of martial arts, I apply to enter the warehouse." Taking a deep breath, Wei Hong bowed his fist and said to Sun Bo.

  "Write down your name, age and parents' names on the small table next to you." Sun Bo said slowly with his eyes still closed, pointing to a small square table not far away.

  All he saw was a small square table with a pen and a roll of animal skin on it, Wei Hong naturally knew that this was also to prevent someone from sneaking into the warehouse.

  Wei Hong wrote down his information and then picked up the animal skin scroll, coming to Sun Bo's side, while at this time Sun Bo also opened his eyes in a timely manner.

  "Really? Wei Hong, aren't you the one who is going to compete with Wei Bao in two days?" Sun Bo asked with a slight frown after seeing the name.

  "Not bad, right below." Wei Hong said in a deep voice.

  "Originally, with your qualifications, it would be difficult to break through to Martial Artist Second Rank even in ten years. However, you actually broke through at the age of twelve. It seems that your will and perseverance are quite strong. According to our Wei family rules, every Wei family child who reaches Martial Artist Second Rank can take some medicinal materials from the first floor of the warehouse. Remember, you only have the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

  After Sun Bo finished speaking, he closed his eyes again and waved his hand, indicating that Wei Hong could leave.

  Wei Hong nodded and followed Sun Bo into the entrance behind him, taking a sudden leap forward.

  "Although the qualifications are not good, this temperament is quite good." Sun Bo suddenly opened his eyes and muttered as Wei Hong jumped down.

  For a few seconds, Wei Hong felt himself back on the ground, but instead of the expected darkness, it was a bright and clear place. Naturally, Wei Hong saw that every meter apart, there was a night pearl inlaid in the wall.

  The Wei family, although only a branch, also has a hundred years in Songlin Town. As a century-old family, its foundation is naturally not weak. Looking around, there's a large layer, row upon row of shelves, displaying dazzling medicinal materials, and Wei Hongru was like he was in a dream.

  Fig

  Dragon's Blood

  Red Clover

  Spiraea prunifolia

  ……

  One by one, the spiritual medicines that had been painstakingly sought after but never obtained were now displayed on the shelves like ordinary goods. Wei Hong suddenly felt that his eyes were not enough.

  "In his own world, these elixirs were rarely seen in a hundred years, but in this world, they are so abundant. This world is even more wonderful than he had imagined!"

  Wei Hong thought to himself, but he naturally understood why he came here.

  "These things are precious, but they're of no use to me in my current state. I'd rather find the few examples of medicinal herbs first."

  Wei Hong slightly shook his head and said, then began frantically searching.

  "Although I don't understand toxicity, using poison to counteract poison is the way of kings. The Body Refining Path of the Overlord Decree is to force out all impurities in the body. In that case, I'll add some more potent medicine to force this toxin out as well."

  Killing two birds with one stone, this body is too weak, stubborn diseases require strong medicine, I can only use strong medicine now.

  Wei Hong held this goal in mind and began searching.
