Chapter 43: The Secret of Vital Blood Pills!
The red-robed figure in the crowd was familiar to Lu Changsheng.
A month ago, when Lu Changsheng went to the black market to sell the Blood-Strengthening Pills, he encountered this red-robed martial artist, who was among several warriors involved in forcefully buying the pills. 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.
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.
However, Lu Changsheng had not come here to kill but to rescue.
"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.
As time passed, more guards from the Xu Family’s Village arrived, entering through a passage from the northeast.
"They came from that direction. I should go check it out," Lu Changsheng thought.
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.
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.
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.
It finally became clear to Lu Changsheng that the Blood-Strengthening Pills were indeed being produced here in the Xu Family’s Village.
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.
