At that time, the red-robed martial artist had invited Lu Changsheng to investigate the Blood-Strengthening Pills together, but Lu Changsheng had refused, not wanting to get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, seeing the red-robed man once more and discovering that he had found his way to the Xu Family’s Village, Lu Changsheng was perplexed. Although the red-robed man was alone, his strength was formidable. His every slash kept the surrounding people at bay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Changsheng had not come here to kill but to rescue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Apothecary Cheng being held?\" Lu Changsheng scanned the surroundings. The underground hall was extensive, clearly not constructed in a day. Building such a large underground space required a considerable amount of labor and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, more guards from the Xu Family’s Village arrived, entering through a passage from the northeast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They came from that direction. I should go check it out,\" Lu Changsheng thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of apothecaries and assistant physicians who had disappeared recently was not insignificant. Since they were abducted rather than killed, there must have been a purpose for their capture, likely requiring manpower to oversee them. These guards could be the ones responsible for overseeing the captured professionals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng proceeded along the tunnel and indeed found another spacious chamber. In this room, many apothecaries and assistant physicians were under guard and being directed to prepare various medicinal ingredients.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the chamber, a blazing furnace burned brightly, and bare-chested men continually tossed ingredients into it. Soon, numerous Blood-Strengthening Pills rolled out of the furnace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It finally became clear to Lu Changsheng that the Blood-Strengthening Pills were indeed being produced here in the Xu Family’s Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the crowd, he eventually spotted Apothecary Cheng. Not only Cheng but also several apothecaries and assistant physicians from Miaoshou Garden whom Lu Changsheng recognized were present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, Xu Family’s Village has captured so many apothecaries and assistant physicians just to manufacture Blood-Strengthening Pills?\" Lu Changsheng pondered, eyeing the guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the guards had been dispatched to deal with the red-robed man, leaving around twenty or thirty behind. Lu Changsheng believed handling them shouldn’t be too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, Lu Changsheng darted out from the shadows. His speed was like a phantom, appearing in the dimly lit underground room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you see a shadow just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s the shadow? Are you seeing things?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An intruder is outside; we must be cautious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I understand. With so many of us, can’t we handle one intruder? Let’s focus on our work and hurry the alchemical process.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several guards chatted among themselves. Even if some of them had vaguely seen a shadow, they rubbed their eyes and didn’t spot any strangers, assuming it was a figment of their imagination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splurt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the next moment, sharp sword edges swiped across their necks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood sprayed out instantly, and two guards fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the two guards on the ground, the remaining guards finally realized the presence of an intruder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have an intruder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s over there; stop him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We can’t let him damage the alchemical furnace...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of these guards were bone-forging martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two to three dozen of them swarmed in, and even a visceral refining martial artist would have to evade their onslaught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, Lu Changsheng was different, focusing on the path of \"speed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it wasn’t a transcendent martial artist, his flesh and blood couldn’t withstand his sword. For him, a large group of people posed no threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng unsheathed his sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, his quick sword moves were like phantoms, combined with his rapid footwork. It was as if a tiger had entered a sheepfold. Whenever he brandished his sword, someone inevitably fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few breaths, two to three dozen guards lay dead on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Drip, drip, drip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng’s sword dripped blood, and its blade had turned completely red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the ground, the corpses were scattered in all directions. Not a single person groaned; they all died, and most of them perished from a single sword strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene gave shivers to the apothecaries and assistant physicians watching from a distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng stepped toward the apothecaries and assistant physicians and glanced at the alchemical furnace. He then asked, \"You’re making Blood-Strengthening Pills here. Do you know about the issues with these pills?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The numerous apothecaries and assistant physicians exchanged glances, their faces puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea who Lu Changsheng was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonetheless, one assistant physician nervously spoke up, \"Yes, there is a big issue with these Blood-Strengthening Pills.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have added a rare chronic poison to these pills. Taking them once or twice is fine, but if consumed regularly, it will lead to poisoning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once poisoned, if you don’t get the antidote, you’ll experience extreme pain and eventually die. With these Blood-Strengthening Pills, they can control numerous martial artists in just a few months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Changsheng was alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected that the Blood-Strengthening Pills were tainted with such a sinister chronic poison. As a pharmacist, he hadn’t been able to detect the hidden poison. This indicated just how concealed the poison was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Xu Family’s Village was producing these harmful Blood-Strengthening Pills on a large scale with the intention of controlling a substantial number of martial artists. This was not something that the Xu Family’s Village or Xu Dashan could accomplish alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who exactly is Xu Dashan? Or is there someone behind him?\" Lu Changsheng asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the apothecaries and assistant physicians could only shake their heads. They were mostly unaware of the full scope of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I’ve eliminated the guards, you can choose to stay here for a while until things settle down, or you can leave now. However, be aware that there’s a battle going on outside, which might be dangerous,\" Lu Changsheng said before turning and leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the main hall, the red-robed man was now in dire straits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guards had somehow procured crossbows from somewhere, and a multitude of arrows was shot at the red-robed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to withstand the barrage, the red-robed man tipped over a stone table and sought shelter behind it. The situation was growing precarious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dashan was standing on the side, watching the red-robed man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, some guards rushed back, exclaiming, \"Sir, it’s bad news! Someone has infiltrated the alchemical furnace room and killed dozens of our brethren. They have now come out...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dashan’s expression turned pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Splurt.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next moment, many guards staggered back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following that, Xu Dashan saw a black-clothed and masked man whose figure was as fast as lightning. With a light swing of his short sword, someone was bound to clutch their throat and fall to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many guards aimed their crossbows at the black-clothed man, but it was futile. The black-clothed man was too fast, and his agility too elusive. He dashed straight into the midst of the guards, and with each stroke of his sword, a guard fell into a pool of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon witnessing this scene, Xu Dashan’s complexion turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fiercely pounded his cane on the ground, producing a crisp sound, then shouted, \"Get the head of the thieves, capture him!\"fɾēewebnσveℓ.com\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"BOOM!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xu Dashan uttered his command, the entire underground hall seemed to tremble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Lu Changsheng’s surroundings, which had originally been walls, were shattered. A massive figure in iron armor suddenly burst out, and a mighty hand reached out to grasp Lu Changsheng.\u003C\u002Fp>",1294,"2026-06-06T15:20:02.321Z",1,"novelbin.me","27f99fcd3c8da55b2313dee0c95f5445e598ced611fa8f56af709880f8229f5b","top-class-comprehension-start-with-basic-fist-te-chapter-400","top-class-comprehension-start-with-basic-fist-te-chapter-42",1395,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftop-class-comprehension-start-with-basic-fist-te-cover.jpg"]
