Surviving in the chaos of battle, I'm grinding for proficiency.

Luo Zheng nodded:

"Meet in front of my family's pharmacy at 5:00 AM tomorrow. My uncle will tell you about the details then."

"learn."

After seeing Luo Zheng off, Li Chuan practiced in the shop for another hour or so.

He didn't go to bed until late at night.

……

The next day.

Li Chuan arrived at Luo's Pharmacy on time.

"Good morning, Uncle Luo," Li Chuan greeted him.

Luo Houping laughed:

"Achuan is here. Zheng should have already told you the general situation."

Li Chuan responded:

"He said he was going to deliver a batch of tiger heart grass, taking a different route than last time, because it would be more dangerous."

Luo Houping patted him on the shoulder:

"Don't worry, it's not dangerous at all. In fact, we rarely encounter danger when delivering medicine. Besides, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up."

"Thank you, Uncle Luo," Li Chuan said, clasping his hands in thanks.

After a while, everyone had arrived.

Standing next to Luo Houping, Li Chuan looked down and noticed that there were many more people than last time.

There are fifteen masters of the Ming Jin skill alone, and the number of other skilled practitioners reaches thirty.

With nine horse-drawn carriages, it looked grand and filled the entire street.

"It seems that this precious medicine is indeed extraordinary. Ordinary medicinal materials are at most a few Ming Jin," Li Chuan thought to himself.

"This medicine delivery is no small matter. Everyone must follow the rules. If anyone disobeys, they won't be coming back next time!" Luo Houping called everyone together and solemnly instructed them.

This batch of tiger heart grass is worth four hundred taels of silver. If anything goes wrong, it will be a big deal!

After saying that, Luo Houping whispered to Li Chuan:

"Ah Chuan, Ah Zheng specifically told me that he wants to give you more time to practice martial arts. I've been thinking about it, and if you walk outside for two hours, you can practice in the carriage for one hour. How does that sound?"

Li Chuan felt a warmth in his heart.

Luo Houping didn't need to ask for his opinion, since his wages were based on the number of shifts he was on.

That extra hour was entirely a gift from Luo Zheng.

Therefore, Li Chuan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I'll leave it all to Uncle Luo's arrangements."

Luo Houping smiled and said, "Let's go back. Wang Youfang is here too."

Back in the group, a round-faced man with a thick beard greeted Li Chuan:

"Achuan, over here!"

"You're here too?"

Wang Youfang glared at him:

"I'm an expert at delivering medicine, how can you not let me do it?"

Look, this time it's not like the first time with all those mediocre kids; they're all elites!

Li Chuan looked around and found that everyone's expression was normal, calm and composed.

This put his mind at ease.

After all, the stronger the team is overall, the safer he will be.

"We're going fast this time, the plan is to reach Huangshi County in three days. Every extra minute spent on the road increases the risk!"

"You're all seasoned medicine delivery personnel, so I won't say much more. I'll just emphasize one point: follow orders, don't act recklessly, and report any suspicious activity to me immediately!"

"Set off!"

With a wave of his hand, Luo Houping led his entourage out of the city gate in a grand procession.

"A-Chuan, I have something to tell you." Luo Houping called Li Chuan over.

"What's wrong, Uncle Luo?"

"Afterwards, I sent people to look for those young refugees, and we found that the hungry wolves from before were driven by them."

Li Chuan's eyes narrowed, realizing something was wrong.

That group of people weren't even martial artists knocking on the gate, yet they were able to command a pack of hungry wolves?

Luo Houping's expression was solemn:

"Later, I sent people to interrogate them to find out where they got their methods, and all I got was a name: 'Rebirth Cult'."

This church appears to have only recently sprung up, specializing in gathering refugees, spreading heretical teachings to them, and inciting them to plunder everywhere.

That's all the information we have for now. Anyway, be careful.

Li Chuan seemed to be deep in thought, and then looked around.

As they drove out of the vicinity of Anning County, the number of migrants increased.

There seem to be even more people than last time they left the city.

"The world is not peaceful..." Li Chuan sighed inwardly.

The name "Wang Sheng Jiao" doesn't sound like a legitimate organization at all; it's more like a cult like the "White Lotus Sect" that incites and fools the masses.

"Only by becoming strong yourself can you gain a foothold in this world; relying on others is useless!"

Li Chuan stood in the carriage and practiced his stance until an hour later before returning to the group.

It was precisely because of this action that many people began to look at him differently.

Everyone receives the same salary, so why should you be allowed to slack off?

Li Chuan didn't care at all and just focused on doing his own thing.

Since the last incident of refugees taking hostages, the Luo family removed one of their relief wagons and converted it into a vehicle specifically for transporting medicinal herbs.

Perhaps it was because they were numerous and powerful, and wherever they went, refugees scattered and made way for them.

Wild animals would vanish at the sound of wheels.

The journey was peaceful, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

[Skill: Mountain-Holding Stance (Minor Mastery)]

[Proficiency: 1550/2000]

[Skill: Tongbei Quan (Minor Mastery)]

[Proficiency: 1452/2000]

Li Chuan secretly shook his head; eating donkey meat indeed slowed down his progress in proficiency.

"The Jia family's pharmacy is just ahead. Keep your eyes peeled and watch out for suspicious pedestrians!" Luo Houping said loudly.

The carriage wheels rolled forward and then stopped at Jia's Pharmacy.

The pharmacy owner called over ten skilled workers to unload the goods, and the eight truckloads were quickly unloaded.

After unloading, a large quantity of medicinal herbs were transported out and loaded into the carriages.

"Ah, murder!" Suddenly, a woman screamed in terror.

A man holding a kitchen knife appeared to be acting mad.

"Give me money, I want to go into the city! This place is unbearable!"

The police arrived quickly and killed him with a single blow.

"Where did this vagrant sneak in from? How dare you cause trouble in the city?"

Red and white substances flew everywhere, startling many passersby who had to dodge.

Li Chuan's heart sank.

It's surprising that refugees were able to sneak into the city; it seems there's something wrong with the city's defenders.

Luo Houping narrowed his eyes and waved his hand, saying:

"It's still early, let's hurry out of the city and get to our first rest stop!"

Clearly, this incident has also made people feel a bit of a crisis.

The delivery team this time were all experienced; they left promptly without any delay.

The group led the carriage and quickly left the city.

"To be reborn in the Pure Land, to be reborn in the Pure Land." Many refugees wandered outside the city, chanting this incessantly.

They stared at the Luo family's pharmacy with eerie eyes until they were out of sight.

After walking a distance, Wang Youfang breathed a sigh of relief:

"Damn it, did you see that look in his eyes? It was creepy, like he was possessed!"

Li Chuan's eyes flickered:

"Fortunately, nothing happened in Anning County."

Wang Youfang patted his chest:

"If anything happens, it will be a huge problem. I can't let my newlywed wife fall into the wrong hands!"

Li Chuan laughed and scolded:

"Can't you think of something serious?"

Wang Youfang chuckled:

"How is this inappropriate? By the way, Chuan, has that matter at your house been resolved?"

Li Chuan calmly said:

"That person is gone."

"It's good that you're gone. It's good that you're alright."

After a brief conversation, the convoy fell silent again.

The wheel tracks rolled across the muddy ground, and the wind rustled the leaves.

Nobody noticed.

The bushes not far away swayed eerily.
