PATGFM Chapter 40 Throat-Sealing Mother Grass
Lu Chuan panicked, "Don't say nonsense, when did you become my girlfriend?"
He quickly looked at Mu Nanqing, "Sister-in-law, she's talking nonsense, don't take it seriously."
Ning Xin raised her head proudly, "Why don't you have the guts to admit it? Wasn't it you who kissed me yesterday?"
Lu Chuan couldn't refute, after all, he did kiss her.
Mu Nanqing took a deep breath and forced a smile, "So you're Little Chuan's girlfriend, you're really beautiful. If you can catch the eye of our Little Chuan, you're indeed lucky."
Ning Xin smiled happily, "Sister-in-law, you're also very beautiful, I was stunned just now."
Mu Nanqing smiled and turned to Lu Chuan, reproaching him, "Little Chuan, why didn't you tell Sister-in-law when you started dating? Do you treat her as an outsider?"
Lu Chuan wore an expression of injustice, "Sister-in-law, I..."
Mu Nanqing interrupted him, "Alright, I'm off to work, you two play at home, I won't be a third wheel."
She looked at Ning Xin, "Come inside and sit, if Little Chuan bullies you, just tell me, I'll take care of him for you!"
Ning Xin nodded with a smile, "Okay!"
Mu Nanqing didn't hesitate anymore and quickly walked out of the door.
Lu Chuan called out to her a few times, but received no response.
He looked helplessly at Ning Xin, "You're just causing trouble for me, my sister-in-law must have misunderstood."
Ning Xin said smugly, "Deserved it, for not showing me yesterday! Besides, your sister-in-law probably wants you to find a girlfriend soon, I'm just helping you, aren't I?"
Lu Chuan sighed, for some reason, he didn't want Mu Nanqing to misunderstand.
"Alright, I have something to do, the clothes were brought here on the way, so I'll leave first." Ning Xin put on her sunglasses and left.
Lu Chuan stood still for a moment before remembering about Xiao Yun sending someone to deal with him. He wanted to tell Ning Xin but when he chased after her, she had already disappeared into the elevator.
He took out the amethyst pendant and murmured, "I can only talk to her tonight."
Not dwelling on it, he returned home and took out the amethyst, beginning to refine it with spiritual power.
...
At a high-end club.
Xiao Yun leaned back on the sofa, a scantily-clad bunny girl nestled in his arms, feeding him fruit.
Ah Cai stood by, still weak in aura, but much better than yesterday.
"Master, here's what happened, that woman from the Inspectorate said she will punish Lu Chuan." Ah Cai spoke up.
Xiao Yun snorted, cursing, "I've already had someone check Lu Chuan's background, he's just a delivery boy, but unexpectedly, he has such strong power, even you are no match for him."
He looked at Ah Cai and asked, "Do you know the identity of that woman from the Inspectorate?"
Ah Cai said, "I asked a friend afterwards, her name is Yu Xin, the daughter of the chief of the Inspectorate. It's said that Lu Chuan caused a big trouble for Yu Xin not long ago, so she holds a grudge against him."
Xiao Yun's eyes lit up, "Turns out she's the chief's daughter, then Lu Chuan is definitely in trouble."
Ah Cai nodded, "I heard the hatred in Yu Xin's voice, I feel she won't let Lu Chuan off easily."
Xiao Yun nodded with a smile, "With someone from the Inspectorate involved, it saves me a lot of trouble."
"However, Lu Chuan only disabled your dantian, even if he is to be punished, the punishment won't be too severe."
He thought for a moment, and asked Ah Cai, "If Yu Xin holds such a grudge against Lu Chuan, would her father also dislike him?"
Ah Cai nodded, saying, "Naturally, no father can tolerate his daughter being bullied. If my daughter were bullied, I would seek revenge tenfold or a hundredfold."
Xiao Yun's face wore a sly smile, already planning how to deal with Lu Chuan.
"Arrange a car for me, I'm going to the Inspectorate!"
...
Jinhu Community.
Lu Chuan sat cross-legged on the sofa, two crystals emitting purple light floating in front of him. The impurities on the surface had been completely removed.
He reached out and took the two pieces of amethyst, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"It took such a long time, and I only removed the impurities from them. If I want to smelt them into a magical weapon, it will take at least half a month
."
"But if I can break through to the fourth level of Qi cultivation now, the smelting speed will definitely be much faster."
Thinking like this, Lu Chuan stood up, put on his coat, and hurried towards the antique street.
He planned to buy another fifty-year-old medicinal herb first, and then break through to the fourth level of Qi cultivation.
There was a separate area in the antique street, all selling medicinal herbs.
The herbs here were different from those in the medicine market, mainly focusing on rare and exotic ones.
In addition to the aged herbs, there were also various strange and unheard-of exotic herbs, most of which were bought by wealthy people as collectibles.
Therefore, the herbs here were mostly outrageously expensive.
"Although I'm now a millionaire, I should still be able to afford a medicinal herb."
Lu Chuan arrived at a shop and saw two identical herbs placed on the table, emitting completely opposite medicinal properties, which was quite magical.
He looked at the boss and asked, "Boss, what herbs are these two?"
The boss smiled and said, "Young man, you really have a good eye. These two are Throat-Sealing Mother Grass, the large one is the mother grass, and the small one is the child grass. The child grass contains poison, and if eaten, it will turn the person into a mute. Only the mother grass can detoxify it. This pair of Throat-Sealing Mother Grass is unique in the world. If you buy it for collection, it will definitely hold its value."
"If you're interested, I'll give them to you for a hundred thousand, what do you think?"
Lu Chuan shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself that while this thing was indeed quite rare, he wasn't foolish enough to buy such a pair of items for collection.
He continued browsing and spotted a fifty-year-old Lingzhi mushroom. He spoke up, "Boss, how much is this Lingzhi mushroom? I'll take it."
At that moment, Yu Xin, dressed in a security guard uniform, walked over and directly took the Lingzhi mushroom into her hands. "Boss, I'll take this Lingzhi mushroom."
Lu Chuan turned around and frowned when he saw it was Yu Xin. "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Xin coldly snorted and took out a photo of Ah Cai. "Do you recognize this person?"
Lu Chuan slapped his forehead. "What, are you meddling again?"
Yu Xin said indignantly, "After years of hard work in martial arts, someone like you destroyed his dantian and ruined his foundation. As a member of the Inspectorate, I naturally have to intervene!"
Lu Chuan was speechless. "So you want to lock me up again?"
Yu Xin looked somewhat guilty.
After asking her colleagues, she realized that someone like Ah Cai, unless caught in the act or with surveillance footage proving it was Lu Chuan's doing, the Inspectorate couldn't easily punish him.
After all, there were countless martial artists fighting every day for various reasons, and injuries and casualties were common. If they had to intervene every time someone complained, they wouldn't have time for anything else.
Seeing Yu Xin's guilty expression, Lu Chuan smiled and said, "I see, you still don't have any evidence, right?"
Yu Xin clenched her fists indignantly. "So what if there's no evidence! I still have to intervene in this matter. Someone like you, a tumor in the martial world, must be dealt with!"
"I may not be able to lock you up, but I have my own ways to deal with you."
"If you're here to buy medicinal herbs to seek a breakthrough, let me tell you, from now on, I won't give you any chance to break through. As long as your strength stagnates, you won't have the opportunity to persecute others!"
"Fool." Lu Chuan really didn't want to deal with this woman and turned to walk towards another shop.
But no matter which herb he wanted to buy, Yu Xin would always take it before him, never giving Lu Chuan any chance.
Lu Chuan couldn't stand it and said to Yu Xin, "Do you have any sense? What you're doing is just a waste of time. I don't need medicinal herbs to break through, I can do it without them."
Yu Xin remained firm, "As long as it affects your advancement, what I'm doing is meaningful!"
Lu Chuan clenched his fists, almost wanting to slap some sense into her.
At that moment, he suddenly thought of a way to deal with Yu Xin. With a mischievous smile, he turned and walked back to the first shop he visited.
He approached the table and pretended to reach for the pair of Throat-Sealing Mother Grass.
"Boss, I want this..."
But Yu Xin quickly grabbed the child grass from the table. "Boss, I want this!"
Lu Chuan glanced at Yu Xin and said, "Are you trying to copy me?"
Yu Xin raised her head proudly. "What do you mean copy? I'm upholding justice!"
Lu Chuan nodded. "Okay, you're amazing."
He picked up the mother grass. "There's another identical one here. I dare to eat it raw, do you?"
After saying that, he directly swallowed the mother grass.
Seeing Lu Chuan's actions, Yu Xin, full of disdain, said, "Hmph, there's nothing I can't do."
Then she swallowed the child grass.
The boss on the side was dumbfounded.
Seeing Yu Xin take the bait, Lu Chuan couldn't help but laugh and gave her a thumbs up. "You're amazing!"
Surprisingly, Yu Xin became proud. "You know I'm amazing. Quickly admit defeat to me. As long as you agree to follow me back for transformation, I'll let you go, how about it?"
Lu Chuan smiled and said, "Let's forget about that. You better worry about yourself first."
Yu Xin said confidently, "I'm fine, there's nothing to worry about!"
The boss said helplessly, "Miss, that herb shouldn't be eaten!"
Ning Xin glanced at him and said, "What's wrong with eating it? I'm paying you, aren't I?"
The boss said, "But the herb you ate is poisonous!"
Yu Xin's face changed suddenly, and she grabbed the boss's clothes in panic, asking, "What poison? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
The boss tremblingly took out a QR code and said, "You... you pay first, then I'll tell you. The price of the herb you just ate is two hundred thousand."
Ning Xin didn't hesitate and immediately transferred the money.
Lu Chuan couldn't help but chuckle, thinking that this boss was really unscrupulous.
But black-hearted but good!
"Quickly, tell me what poison was in that herb!" Yu Xin urged anxiously, her voice already starting to become hoarse.
The boss took out the Throat-Sealing Mother Grass's characteristics.
Yu Xin urged, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and give me the mother grass. I won't shortchange you!"
The boss looked helpless and pointed at Lu Chuan. "The only mother grass has been eaten by him..."
