Chapter 5: Blazing Grass

  The next morning, the sky was clear and cloudless, with scattered sunlight splashing golden light.

  The streets were covered with white snow, and people came and went in a hurry. Lu Fan walked quickly towards the direction of the medicine shop, his pockets filled with gold coins, which was almost all his savings.

  Last night after getting the Wujiquan Boshan Fist, Lu Fan carefully studied it, first understanding it, then penetrating it, and finally starting to cultivate.

  He found that the most critical thing in practicing Bung San Kuen was not the arm problem, but the medicinal material problem.

  This set of martial arts is practiced in conjunction with medicinal materials, requiring a relatively good wound-healing medicinal material, Flamegrass. If this medicinal material is not available, then simply smashing one's arm against a rock would be an act of idiocy.

  Lu Fan went out early in the morning to buy this medicinal herb.

  As for the Flame Grass, Lu Fan still knew a thing or two about it. After all, he was also from a martial arts family and had to know what various medicinal materials were used for. The Lu family even ran a medicine shop that sold them at high prices, without giving discounts to their own disciples who went to buy them.

  Walking into the main street of the city, this street was bustling with people and filled with the sounds of voices.

  The cold weather cannot reduce everyone's enthusiasm for shopping. The street vendors, the shops that line the streets, are still crowded with customers.

  Lu Fan walked while searching for the figure of Lian Yan Cao. If he could find it at a small vendor's stall outside, it would undoubtedly be the best. Because the prices offered by vendors are usually much cheaper than those in stores, and depending on the situation, they can also haggle over prices, which is very suitable for someone like Lu Fan who doesn't have a lot of money.

  Lu Fan looked around half the street but still didn't see Lianyue Cao's figure.

  Liangyecao is a kind of crimson medicinal material, with white roots being the best, blue ones second and all-red ones inferior.

  Lu Fan searched stall by stall, and finally, he saw a pile of fiery red Flame Grass in front of a small vendor's stand near the weapon shop.

  Lu Fan's heart was filled with joy, and he slowly walked forward, seemingly strolling around, flipping through the small vendor's goods, looking left and right, before finally picking up one of the Blazing Flame Grasses and asking, "How much for this?"

  "Five silver coins for one."

  Lu Fan slightly furrowed his brow, five silver coins were equivalent to a month's expenses for an ordinary family of three. He had only over ten gold coins on him, and it was obvious that he couldn't buy all the Flame Grass in front of him.

  Lu Fan put down the Flame Grass and said, "It's too expensive, I'll go somewhere else to take a look."

  He turned to leave, but the vendor called out to him, "Alright, four silver coins per plant. You're buying a lot, I'll give you a discount. Young master, this Blazing Inferno Grass isn't easy to harvest, you won't find a better price anywhere else."

  Lu Fan turned his head and casually flipped through this pile of Flame Grass, secretly counting in his heart how many stalks of Flame Grass were in this pile, enough to support him for a month.

  Just as he landed, Lu Fang suddenly reached out and touched the base of the Flame Grass. At that moment, he discovered that a few of the roots were actually white.

  The heart beats violently, the white-rooted Flame Grass is at least ten times more precious than the all-red Flame Grass. According to the Wudangquan Martial Arts Manual, if you use the white Flame Grass for cultivation, your speed will increase by a factor of two.

  Lu Fan forcibly suppressed his own excitement, not letting his face change color.

  After adjusting his mood, Lu Fan stretched out three fingers at the vendor and said: "Three silver coins per plant, I'll take all of yours."

  The little peddler gritted his teeth and thought for a moment before saying: "Deal."

  Lu Fan immediately handed over the money to him and then reached out to pick up a bunch of blazing grass.

  Just as I was enjoying the coolness, my body was suddenly bumped by someone. Turning my head to look, a young man wearing martial attire entered my line of sight.

  This person looks about the same age as Lu Fan, with a square face and a sturdy build. He is wearing a blue martial artist uniform with the distinctive emblem of the Martial Arts Academy on it. Clearly, he takes pride in being a student of the Martial Arts Academy.

  Lu Fan also recognized him, he was the young master of Mo's first martial arts family in Jiang City, Mo Yunfei.

  "Hey, isn't this Lufan, the good-for-nothing from the Lu family? What's going on, getting up early to help with the family business? Shouldn't you be out gathering herbs in Western Mountain?"

  Mo Yunfei laughed happily, and the Mo family servant following behind him also burst out laughing at the same time.

  Mo Yunfei reached into Lu Fan's arms and took out two stalks of fierce flame grass. Lu Fan snatched them back, saying: "Young Master Mo, you stroll your streets, we won't bother each other, farewell."

  After finishing speaking, Lu Fan was about to leave.

  Several servants blocked Lu Fan's path behind Mo Yunfei. Mo Yunfei looked Lu Fan up and down a few times, saying: "Not seen for several days, you've become arrogant? Even if it were Lu Ming in front of me, he wouldn't dare be so presumptuous. What are you?"

  Lu Fangdao said: "Young Master Mo, this sentence should be said to Lu Ming."

  Mo Yunfei laughed and clapped his hands, saying: "Well said. I'll find an opportunity to teach him a good lesson. Look at your Lu family, you're still raising such trash like you, and yet you still want to compare with our Mo family? The difference is really not just a little bit."

  As he spoke, Mo Yunfei stretched out his hand and with a slap, scattered the medicinal herbs in Lu Fan's hand onto the ground.

  Lu Fan's eyes were filled with anger, and he had already clenched his fists. His brain told him to calm down, as Mo Yunfei was at least a cultivator of the Heavy Body ** level, and he absolutely couldn't be his opponent.

  Forcing himself to control his emotions, Lu Fan bent down and carefully picked up the Blazing Grass on the ground.

  Mo Yunfei stood beside him, laughing and pointing repeatedly.

  Others on the street also looked over here, and it was impossible for anyone to come and help Lu Fan.

  The reason is simple, on one side is the young master of the Mo family, and on the other side is the infamous waste of the Lu family, Lu Fan. When they saw Mo Yunfei, Lu Fan joked around, and many people burst out laughing together.

  "Look at Lu Fan, he looks just like a dog."

  "Trash only gets bullied, son. Did you see that? You must know how to be strong in the future, can't be like Lu Fan."

  "What a shame! Why doesn't the Lu family lock him up? Letting him run around everywhere, do they want to completely lose face for the Lu family?"

  。。。。。。

  Lu Fan picked up all the Flame Grass and looked up at Mo Yunfeng: "Can I go now?"

  Mo Yunfei had obviously had enough fun. It was fine to tease Lu Fan, but he hadn't thought about what to do with him next.

  After all, Lu Fan is also a member of the Lu family. Although his status is not high, if he loses face for the Lu family, the Lu family will also find trouble with him.

  Mo Yunfei just wants to be happy today and doesn't want to cause any trouble.

  "I'm not interested in bullying trash. Leave."

  After finishing speaking, Mo Yunfei waved his hand and let the servants disperse.

  Lu Fan left amidst Mo Yunfei's laughter, a cold glint in his eyes.

  That's just how the world is, the strong can bully the weak at will. He has been a weak person for over ten years and really doesn't want to be one anymore.

  Lu Fan gritted his teeth secretly, now that he had a sign of becoming stronger, even if it meant risking his life, he was determined to become stronger.

  Mo Yunfei may not know that his actions today have completely ignited the raging flames in Lu Fan's chest.

  And this cluster of flames will eventually become a sea of fire, burning the entire world.
