Seeing the disbelief on the other person’s face, Lu Yuan looked around and happened to see a small stepping stone at the doorway.
So he walked over, picked up the stone, came in front of Zhou Ze, and shook his hand: ‘Watch.”
Having said that, he mobilized his inner strength and gripped it forcefully.
There were a few creaking sounds from the palm of his hand.
When his hand opened, the stone had been crushed into powder.
“This…”
Zhou Ze, watching this scene, couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise,
“You’ve really made a name for yourself in practice.”
As he spoke, he looked up and down at Lu Yuan, his eyes more serious than ever, as if he was seeing this seemingly strange mountain hunter for the first time.
Lu Yuan laughed and said, “Yeah. So now you know why I’ve always insisted on practicing martial arts, right?”
“No wonder you’re never willing to save money when I keep advising you.”
Zhou Ze nodded in sudden realization, “Indeed, with this martial arts, ordinary wealthy farmers in the countryside, those rural women, how could they possibly look up to you. You do have better options; I’ve been too nosy before.”
However, despite knowing that the other party had made a name for themselves in martial arts practice, he didn’t pay too much attention to it.
Being a doctor, there were always patients.
And those who practiced martial arts were always prone to injuries.
Zhou Ze had been a doctor for over ten years and had treated martial artists in the past.
Those real martial artists, in terms of martial arts, were far stronger than Lu Yuan in front of them.
Crushing a stone with his hand was not a big deal.
At most, it changed his impression of Lu Yuan from an interesting hunter to an interesting hunter with some martial arts skills.
When it came to value, for Dr. Zhou, martial arts skills were worth less than being interesting.
It didn’t take a moment, and a month’s supply of herbs was packed: “Here, this month’s supply.”
Lu Yuan hesitated, reached out to take the herbs, put them in his basket, and couldn’t help but ask a question that had been on his mind, “Dr. Zhou, do you have any of those sedatives that can knock people out?”
Ever since he speculated that the leader of the Black Wolf Gang might be a second-rate master, and that the other side might harbor ill will towards him if they discovered his identity.
Lu Yuan had felt insecure.
But relying solely on martial arts practice, it would take him an unknown number of years to reach the second-rate realm and have enough self-defense power.
So at this point, he had no choice but to find a way to add a few more self-defense measures for himself.
And the sedative was one of his chosen methods.
Zhou Ze had just returned to his recliner and was about to lie down when he heard this. He immediately turned his head and frowned, ‘What do you want that for?”
Lu Yuan explained, “I’m a hunter, right? As I just said, when hunting, I can deal with strong beasts like leopards and jackals with just my hands.
But facing fierce tigers and black bears, my strength is somewhat inadequate.
When I was drinking tea in the teahouse, I heard people talking about a knockout drug that is used to knock people out in the Jianghu. So I wanted to ask if there was such a drug.
If there is, it would be perfect for dealing with fierce beasts like tigers.
A single tiger is worth as much as dozens of wild wolves. If I could catch one, I could rest for a whole year.”
He laid out the excuses he had prepared in his heart.
But Zhou Ze didn’t believe any of it, and sneered, “I think you want to use it to drug people. Hunters use traps, not sedatives, to deal with wild animals. Do you really think I’m a three-year-old child?
How is it that just as you’ve achieved something in martial arts, you can’t wait to kill and plunder, and make some quick money?”
Lu Yuan’s expression didn’t change; he just looked at Zhou Ze and said, “Dr. Zhou, you know me. I’ve always been timid, so how could I dare use sedatives to drug people, let alone do business without a capital? All of these would lead to execution.
The reason I want to buy sedatives is just to have some means of self-defense, that’s all.
If Doctor Zhou doesn’t want to sell them, then forget it, as if I never said anything.”
Although he said this, he had already made up his mind that if Zhou Ze finally refused, he would have to leave for another place today.
There’s no other reason, than just being cautious.
Once the foundation of trust is broken, all past relationships will only become a catalyst for hatred.
Zhou Ze seemed to be aware of this as well.
He looked up and down at Lu Yuan, recalling their past interactions. The person in front of him didn’t seem to be a cunning and evil person. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, “Are you really just using it for self-defense?”
Lu Yuan solemnly nodded his head, “I guarantee it’s just for self-defense.” Well, purchasing the sedative was indeed for self-defense.
But in order to protect myself, if I used the sedative to take out my enemies beforehand, that wouldn’t be considered breaking my promise, right?
After all, it was for self-defense.
Staring at Lu Yuan’s eyes for a long time, Zhou Ze couldn’t figure out his intentions and took back his gaze, sighing in his heart, ‘This boy, he’s really a little fox.’
After lamenting for a moment, he shook his head and said, “I do have a sedative. It’s a “Seven-step fragrance” that was left behind by a patient who came for treatment seven years ago. He was so badly injured that he died before I could treat him, leaving only the sedative.
Although I’ve never made it, I’ve studied the formula, and it should be the sedative spoken of in the Jianghu..”
