To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 54: Chapter 38: From the Heart

Translator: 549690339

Lu Yuan felt that the turmoil caused by the Black Wind Gang, which ravaged the entire Luling Prefecture, was definitely not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Behind this chaos, there must be some secret unknown to the public.

And this secret was the reason for Fang Tianying’s actions.

“So, is this another play of a great Jianghu figure meddling in local affairs, resulting in bloodshed?”

As a fan of martial arts novels, TV shows, and movies, Lu Yuan was already quite familiar with such plots and events.

Therefore, to those Jianghu people who were in the dark, the appearance of the Black Wind Gang and Fang Tianying’s choice might be puzzling and incomprehensible.

But for him, who had experienced countless films and novels, this scene seemed all too familiar.

“If I’m not mistaken, there should be some great power behind the Black Wind Gang. That power should be one of the top sects in Jianghu. They plan to use the Black Wind Gang as a pawn and cover, to do some things they can’t do in the open…”

At this moment, Lu Yuan recalled some of the novels he had read, where classic scenes appeared before him.

When these scenes were put together, it suddenly had an outsider’s effect, allowing him to step out of the current chaos in Luling Prefecture and review the current situation from a higher and unrelated perspective.

In the end, he came to a conclusion.

After all, the Black Wind Gang started in South Sea Prefecture, suddenly emerged from there, and didn’t stay there long before coming to Luling

Prefecture in Yuzhang Prefecture.

As for their purpose…

It might be to strike at the Iron Sword Sect. It could also be that the martial arts forces of South Sea Prefecture want to invade Yuzhang Prefecture and expand their influence.

This would make sense.”

Lu Yuan touched his chin, and a perplexing question in his heart was answered.

He was puzzled as to how such a powerful Black Wind Gang, with a top-notch expert and several second-rate experts, and even hundreds of bandits, could have emerged.

Such a formidable force didn’t seem to belong to ordinary bandits.

But if there was a major Jianghu sect secretly cultivating them as a “black hand”, it wouldn’t be surprising.

It made sense.

“And there’s that incident in Mei County.”

Lu Yuan recalled another piece of evidence: “At that time, the Plum Blossom Gang and the local officials teamed up to drive away the Black Wind Gang. A group of second-rate experts and a bunch of nobodies managed to repel a top-tier expert – it sounds ridiculous. But if the Black Wind Gang cooperated, it would be normal.”

It must be said that the incident in Mei County, where the local forces drove away the Black Wind Gang, left a deep impression on him.

And it was because of this that he found the appearance of the Black Wind Gang more and more suspicious.

They left too many traces along the way, which could not withstand scrutiny.

“However, even though everyone knows there’s something wrong with the Black Wind Gang, as long as the people behind them don’t expose themselves and admit it, who can do anything?

All they have to do is use the Black Wind Gang to wipe out the forces they want to target, like the Iron Sword Sect, a famous Jianghu sect.

With the victims gone, so are the grievances.

As for the friends of the Iron Sword Sect, who cares, who dares to meddle?

In the end, Jianghu is all about strength.”

The current situation reminded Lu Yuan of a martial arts novel he had read, which was vividly depicted.

That novel was called Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

The Black Wind Gang for the hidden manipulator, just like the criminals raised by Songshan Sect’s Zuo Lengchan in the novel. The Black Wind Gang’s massacre of innocent people in Luling Prefecture and the Iron Sword Sect was eerily similar to the Lin Family’s annihilation in the story.

“This Jianghu, it’s too dark!”

Remembering the plot of the novel, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but shiver and tighten his clothes.

For an innocent, kind, and adorable little hunter like him, this ruthless and bloodstained Jianghu was simply too dangerous.

The outside world is so scary; I want to go back to the mountains.

That’s what he thought at this moment.

“Well, this time I will buy half a year’s worth of medicinal herbs for training, and then I will hide in the mountains. Let this chaotic world be. It has nothing to do with me anymore.”

At this moment, Lu Yuan felt that he should make good use of the advantage of being a long-lived person and lay low for a while.

He soon arrived at Zhou’s Medical Clinic.

When Lu Yuan entered, he was greeted by an overwhelming smell of medicine and the stench of blood. In front of his eyes were scenes of injury and wailing.

He saw five or six patients lying on temporary wooden beds in the lobby, moaning in pain. Beside them were martial arts experts with varying degrees of anger and pain on their faces.

“Brother Zhou.”

Lu Yuan found Zhou Ze and his son, who were busy at work.

Doctor Zhou was busy changing dressings for the patients, while Zhou Qing was frantically preparing various prescribed medications on the side. Both of them were extremely busy, and the hall was in chaos.

“It’s you.”

At this moment, Zhou Ze was bandaging a man with a severed hand. The man’s wrist had been chopped off at the root, and blood was flowing non-stop, soaking most of his clothes.

His face was pale due to excessive blood loss, and he was extremely weak.

But when the doctor uncovered the wound, the pain still made the man howl. The despair in his hoarse voice was chilling to hear.

Two of his companions held down his struggling body, and Zhou Ze seized the time to apply medicine to stop the bleeding. It wasn’t until a while later that the bandaging was finally completed.

Letting out a long sigh of relief, Doctor Zhou wiped his sweat and didn’t care about the blood that had splashed all over him. He turned his head and asked, “What do you want this time?”

“What’s going on with these people?” Lu Yuan asked softly, worried that people nearby would hear him.

Zhou Ze maintained a calm expression: “They’re all outsiders who came to watch the battle at Fairy Maiden Ridge. They’re short-tempered and got into conflicts in the city, which resulted in this.”

Having said that, he looked up and down at Lu Yuan and commented, “See, I told you before, the martial arts world isn’t that easy to get by in. Fortunately, you’re a scaredy-cat who’s afraid of death, and you haven’t run into any problems. Perhaps you’ll be able to live longer.”

“Are you mocking me or praising me… ‘

Lu Yuan looked at the doctor, somewhat speechless. Was he really that cowardly and afraid of death?

That’s called being cautious and prudent.

He didn’t understand any of it, yet he still made random judgments.

At this moment, another patient nearby could not bear the pain and screamed.

Lu Yuan was startled.

Frankly speaking, having heard so many screams and witnessing the shocking scene before him, he felt shaken.

He couldn’t help but think in his heart.

‘This is the outcome of venturing into the martial arts world. If I were a reckless and inexperienced youth, I might have ended up like them if I rushed into the martial arts world.’

With that thought, he felt extremely relieved.

‘Fortunately, I am a cautious person.’

Lu Yuan had always used long-range attacks with his bow and arrow and traps in combat. Now, he had the added advantage of using sedatives for sneak attacks.

Overall, he had always avoided engaging in close combat and focused on maintaining stability.

At this point, Zhou Ze was really getting a bit impatient with him and asked outright, “Alright, what do you want? I still have patients to attend to!”

“I’m here to buy medicine, half a year’s worth…” Lu Yuan revealed a habitual smile, but glancing at the injured people in the hall, he immediately changed his mind: “No, make it a year’s worth.”

It must be said.

The cries of pain in the hall indeed frightened him a bit.

Therefore, as someone who values longevity, he made a last-minute decision.

To buy more medicine.

This time, the Dayu Mountain Archery God planned to lay low for an extended period.

After all, being called the Dayu Mountain Archery God, he should spend more time in the mountains, otherwise, he would appear to be neglecting his duty, right?

Yes, this was definitely not because he was frightened.

It was heartfelt.

“Here, I knew you’d come to see me, so I prepared in advance. These are the herbs you need.”

A moment later, Zhou Ze, who understood Lu Yuan well, placed a large bag of herbs into his backpack.

“Nobody knows me like Doctor Zhou.”

Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction, quickly paid the silver taels, and then turned to leave.

The atmosphere at the Ghost Clinic was too creepy.

Plus, the martial artists with faces full of hatred and anger were quite intimidating. He always felt that if he looked at them, they would target him.

What are you looking at?

What if I’m looking at you?

And then…

Lu Yuan didn’t want to experience that famous scene.

Time to go, time to go.

Under the noon sun on the official road, with a cheerful stride and a heavy backpack, the Dayu Mountain Archery God embarked on his journey home..
