78 Reach the Divine Power Realm! (3)
"Even many people had a faint smile on their faces.
Lu Changsheng discreetly inquired and heard that there was a "Hero Zhuang" who issued a challenge, defeated the Desert Thirteen Riders, and eradicated the banditry.
The entire mountain stronghold, home to hundreds of fierce and wicked bandits, was all slaughtered by this "Hero Zhuang."
It seemed like the gloom hanging over the entire Nanyang Prefecture had vanished.
Upon learning that there were no more bandits outside the city, the refugees immediately rushed back to their homes.
Many people were discussing who this "Hero Zhuang" could be.
Unfortunately, no one knew.
Lu Changsheng smiled faintly as he gazed at the now orderly Nanyang City, feeling relieved, and in a better mood.
Arriving at Miaoshou Garden, Wang Ruohai was also filled with excitement.
The vendetta of Xiahe Village seemed to have been avenged by the mysterious "Hero Zhuang."
"Ah, it's a pity that this 'Hero Zhuang' appeared and disappeared without a trace. To this day, no one has been able to find him. Otherwise, I would certainly kneel before him and express my gratitude!"
Wang Ruohai was emotionally charged.
He was unaware that the true "Hero Zhuang" was right in front of him.
"Dr. Wang, have you heard of Ancient Rock Resin?" Lu Changsheng asked.
"Ancient Rock Resin? I think I've heard of it. Let me think carefully."
Wang Ruohai found it somewhat familiar but couldn't remember it right away.
"Right, I remember now."
"Over by Gao Family Fortress, there is a type of specialty found in the mountain forests. It's said to be something resembling oil or fat that appears in the rocks, known as Ancient Rock Resin."
"Originally, Ancient Rock Resin didn't have much use. But recently, the Bloodthirst Sect, the faction that renamed Gao Family Fortress, seems to have researched some applications for Ancient Rock Resin. It appears to be related to creating a certain unique fragrance, so they have been heavily mining Ancient Rock Resin."
"Dr. Lu, if you want Ancient Rock Resin, you can inquire with the people near Gao Family Fortress."
Dr. Wang was still accustomed to calling it Gao Family Fortress.
As for the Bloodthirst Sect, they seemed to have kept a low profile after taking control of Gao Family Fortress, with no significant activities.
The only notable activity was the excavation of the seemingly useless Ancient Rock Resin.
"Thank you, Dr. Wang."
Lu Changsheng returned to his place and continued treating patients.
As dusk approached, Lu Changsheng left Miaoshou Garden.
The sky was not yet dark, and Bloodthirst Sect was not far from Nanyang City.
Lu Changsheng went home, changed into a different outfit, and then transformed into the appearance of "Zhuang Thirteen."
Afterward, he left Nanyang City, heading towards Bloodthirst Sect.
Bloodthirst Sect was the former Gao Family Fortress.
Lu Changsheng quickly arrived at Bloodthirst Sect.
He had done some research on Bloodthirst Sect before, and it was actually a major martial faction within Nanyang Prefecture.
Previously, Bloodthirst Sect had kept a low profile, and no one expected them to eliminate Gao Family Fortress and even occupy it.
Lu Changsheng couldn't comprehend the reason before.
But when he saw the people from Bloodthirst Sect using large amounts of Ancient Rock Resin to produce various fragrances, Lu Changsheng vaguely understood the reason.
Ancient Rock Resin!
Bloodthirst Sect wanted to control Ancient Rock Resin!
Ancient Rock Resin was only produced in the mountain forests near Gao Family Fortress. By controlling Gao Family Fortress, they effectively controlled Ancient Rock Resin.
Lu Changsheng walked straight up.
"Halt."
Bloodthirst Sect guards blocked Lu Changsheng's way.
"What are you doing at Bloodthirst Sect?" the guard asked.
"I'm here to purchase Ancient Rock Resin," Lu Changsheng replied directly.
If he could buy it, that would be the best option since he wasn't lacking in silver now.
"Ancient Rock Resin for purchase?" The guards exchanged glances and then shook their heads. "You can buy Ancient Rock Fragrance, but we don't sell Ancient Rock Resin."
"I can purchase a significant amount of Ancient Rock Resin, and the price is negotiable," Lu Changsheng spoke again.
"We've already said Ancient Rock Resin is not for sale! If you keep talking, don't blame us for being impolite!" one of the guards threatened.
"Do you really think we're merchants?" The other guard added.
They were disciples of Bloodthirst Sect, not traders. If they lost patience, they were capable of killing.
Lu Changsheng's brow slightly furrowed.
It seemed almost impossible to buy Ancient Rock Resin from Bloodthirst Sect.
However, since Ancient Rock Resin was in the mountain forest, and Bloodthirst Sect wasn't willing to sell, he would have to acquire it himself.
With this in mind, Lu Changsheng didn't linger and turned to leave.
"Hey, look at him dressed as a martial artist, but he's acting so timid."
"I thought he might unsheathe his sword just now."
"With that short sword, can he even kill anyone?"
The Bloodthirst Sect guards didn't care if Lu Changsheng could hear their mockery.
Bloodthirst Sect was not to be trifled with. If someone dared to stir trouble within Bloodthirst Sect, they would likely meet an unpleasant end.
Lu Changsheng didn't pay any attention to the taunts of these Bloodthirst Sect disciples.
In the martial world, there were countless similar taunts. Did he have to kill everyone who taunted him?
Impossible. He wasn't a bloodthirsty tyrant and had no penchant for killing.
As long as there was no substantial conflict of interest, Lu Changsheng simply didn't care about such minor disputes.
Lu Changsheng left Bloodthirst Sect and took a roundabout path to reach the forest behind the sect.
However, the entire perimeter of the forest was heavily patrolled by Bloodthirst Sect disciples, making it highly secure.
This didn't deter Lu Changsheng. He climbed steep cliffs from the other side, entered the forest, and found the Ancient Rock Resin.
The grayish-white Ancient Rock Resin emitted a peculiar fragrance, though it was quite unpleasant. The fragrances produced by Bloodthirst Sect were probably mixed with other substances.
Without hesitation, Lu Changsheng directly struck the rock with his fist."
