Chapter 231: Chapter 231 - Medicine King
I signaled to Victor Green to ignore them.
Although Victor Green felt annoyed, he had no choice but to hold back.
"This car sure seems to draw problems," I couldn’t help thinking.
The car went through the toll station and merged onto another highway.
Sure enough, the two kids were waiting on the road. The moment they spotted me, they floored it and sped off.
Victor Green, being a hothead, wanted to chase them, but remembering my orders, he could only trail behind obediently.
The car cruised down the road as I shut my eyes slightly and breathed softly.
Too bad the second I closed my eyes, Vance Johansson’s smug face popped into my head.
"That damn Vance Johansson..." I found myself clenching my teeth in rage.
Right then, the car slammed on the brakes!
My head crashed into the front seat again!
"Son of a..." I was about to curse but caught sight of what was outside.
The car had been stopped by those two kids, who’d blocked our path with cocky attitudes.
"Still not finished..." I narrowed my eyes, feeling my patience wearing thin.
I pushed open the car door and stepped out.
The two kids stood in front of the M3, looking smugly at Victor Green.
"What’s wrong, getting cold feet?" the blonde-haired kid mocked.
"Crawling like a worm, what’s the holdup? Chicken?" the other kid taunted too.
Victor Green clenched his jaw, fighting his anger, and said, "We don’t want to race you guys. Plus, the man in this car is the famous King of Chuzzle, Mason Raymond."
He figured dropping the King of Chuzzle’s name would scare them away.
But surprisingly, hearing that title only fired up the kids more.
"Oh really, King of Chuzzle? I’ve been itching to test you out," the blonde sneered.
"All you do is talk big and hype yourself online, using fake effects to fool people. If you’ve really got balls, let’s go? I’ll call someone right now, you dare?" the blonde laughed coldly.
I was getting more and more fed up.
I stepped forward, stared coldly at the blonde, and asked, "You’re not done?"
"Hehe, you’re the King of Chuzzle? That bragging hype artist? Come on, tell us, which media company are you with?" the blonde sneered.
The kid next to him also shouted, "If you’ve got skills, prove it. Otherwise, post a video online saying you’re Glenn’s little brother!"
"That’s right, let them know who the real king is!" the blonde laughed coldly.
I glanced at them and said coldly, "I’m heading out, move."
The blonde laughed and asked, "Don’t you get what I’m saying? Telling us to move? Who the hell are you?"
I didn’t say a word. I just stepped forward and threw a slap!
Even though I held back, this slap still sent the blonde spinning a full 360 degrees before he crashed hard onto the ground.
"Don’t go looking for trouble," I glanced at them and spoke coldly.
The kid next to the blonde was so terrified he didn’t dare say a word. By the time he snapped out of it, I had already driven away.
——
Without the blonde’s harassment, their trip went much smoother.
Soon, the two reached White City.
The villa here had been fenced off, and as soon as I entered, I saw a large, separate area.
I took a deep breath, sensing the faint spiritual energy around me, and whispered, "If I set up a spirit gathering array here, the spiritual energy concentration will definitely increase several times."
Not wanting to waste time, I immediately pulled out the materials and started setting up the formation.
A spirit gathering array is the most basic formation for cultivators. While it’s not as good as a natural spirit formation, it’s still helpful for regular cultivators.
By the time I finished setting up the formation, night had already fallen.
Looking at the starry sky, I whispered, "Wonder if I can break through this time."
I sat cross-legged on the ground, closed my eyes, and prepared to break through to Foundation Building Stage 7.
Unfortunately, the breakthrough failed again.
I could clearly sense the Seventh Layer, but just couldn’t make the breakthrough.
I stood up from the ground and sighed helplessly, "Looks like a breakthrough still needs the right opportunity. With this kind of isolated training, I’ll never step into the Seventh Layer."
During this period, I had spent almost all my time cultivating.
Maybe it was time for me to go out and experience the real world.
Over the next few days.
I cultivated a large garden within the spirit gathering formation.
Unlike regular gardens, this one was completely planted with medicinal herbs.
With the help of the spirit gathering formation, the herbs grew much faster.
Under the blazing sun, I swung my hoe, sweating buckets.
"Mr. Raymond, why are you suddenly gardening?" Victor Green muttered.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and said, "Sometimes, gardening is also a form of cultivation."
"I don’t get it..." Victor Green shook his head, looking completely puzzled.
I smiled and said, "Everyone’s cultivation path is different. Only by finding your own way can you succeed."
Victor Green listened, feeling both enlightened and confused.
I didn’t say more. I looked up at the sun and whispered, "Path... what is my own path..."
After several days of clearing land, more than half the villa’s area had been turned into a garden.
"Such a beautiful villa turned into this..." Victor Green grumbled.
I, on the other hand, was pretty satisfied.
Looking at the thriving herbs, I had a content expression on my face.
The next afternoon.
I continued my gardening.
Right then, my phone suddenly rang.
I picked up the phone and saw the caller was Woods Walters.
I walked to the side and answered the call.
"What’s up?" I asked.
Woods Walters on the other end said, "Mr. Raymond, I got Caldwell to talk."
I nodded, signaling Woods to continue.
Woods spoke seriously, "His partner is the so-called King of Medicine in the River North Region, Wallace Wills."
"Wallace Wills?" I frowned.
I had never heard this name before.
Woods on the other end explained, "They say this King of Medicine has spent over half his life traveling the world, collecting herbs. He’s got countless top-grade herbs!"
"The batch of herbs he traded with Caldwell was considered defective."
I couldn’t help but be shocked!
Herbs with decades of medicinal properties were considered defective?
How many top-grade herbs did Wallace Wills have in stock to be so wasteful?
"Can you get his contact info?" I asked with furrowed brows.
Woods on the other end laughed and said, "Recently, Wallace Wills has been in our Chuzzle region. I’ve already arranged a meeting for you in White City."
