Chapter 136 - 136: 125: Learning and Threatening Gao Sheng
On the surface of each Spirit medicine, a layer of spiritual light would faintly shine.
But this gray stone not only lacked any spiritual light, but it was also covered in cracks as if it would shatter at any moment.
At this moment, seeing Chen Sheng’s expression change, the staff member’s heart couldn’t help but race. “I… I don’t know… I really don’t know.”
He opened his mouth and stuttered an explanation.
“How about I fetch the director to take a look for you?”
With that, the staff member swallowed nervously, anxiously watching Chen Sheng, who appeared somewhat displeased.
After getting Chen Sheng’s consent, the staff member fled like he was escaping and ran towards the upper floor of the Martial Arts Association.
Other martial artists in the association hall seemed to sense something wrong with Chen Sheng’s situation.
One by one, they couldn’t help but occasionally glance over, trying not to be too blatant.
While waiting,
Chen Sheng opened the wooden box containing the nine Spirit medicines.
This time, there was no issue.
In the box lay nine variously shaped and colored herbs.
Without exception, the surface of these herbs emitted a layer of green fluorescent light.
Much better than the so-called “Spirit Seed” gray stone.
This only made Chen Sheng even more certain.
There was definitely something wrong with this gray stone.
Like this, he quietly waited.
Soon, when the staff member reappeared, an additional figure was behind him.
Chen Sheng took a look.
It was an acquaintance.
It was Gao Sheng who had caused trouble for him when he had first become the Sect Leader of the Eagle Body Sect and visited the Martial Arts Association for the first time to collect Spirit medicine.
Of course,
although he had encountered difficulties, Chen Sheng ultimately received the Spirit medicine from Gao Sheng through his own methods.
When Gao Sheng came out of the side door, his eyes subconsciously avoided Chen Sheng.
He didn’t associate Chen Sheng with the person who had attacked him a week ago.
After all, in terms of strength, that person was merely a Hidden Energy Warrior.
They didn’t even qualify to participate in the Martial Arts Conference.
There was no way it could be this Martial Arts Conference champion standing before him.
But as he thought about how he had once withheld Chen Sheng’s Spirit medicine, he felt guilty and hoped that Chen Sheng wouldn’t find out.
“Sect Leader Chen, hello, hello.”
“May I know what the problem is?”
Gao Sheng forced a smile and stood in front of Chen Sheng, acting obsequiously.
Completely unlike the arrogance he had shown in their first meeting when he was the director of the association.
“Are you sure this stone is a Spirit Seed?”
Chen Sheng disregarded the change in Gao Sheng’s attitude.
He straightforwardly opened the wooden box and handed it to Gao Sheng.
Gao Sheng lowered his head to look, and his face instantly stiffened.
As the director of the Quanjiang City Martial Arts Association,
Gao Sheng hadn’t eaten pork, but he had seen pigs run.
At a glance, he immediately recognized what was wrong with the Spirit Seed in front of him.
This was clearly a Spirit Seed that was about to deplete its energy.
Even if it was planted in the ground, it would probably only produce one or two batches of Spirit medicine before it completely lost its effect.
As he looked at the Spirit Seed in front of him,
Gao Sheng suddenly remembered the little gossip he had heard yesterday.
Apparently, there had been some major changes in Kyoto,
and members from the Martial Arts Association Headquarters would take over each region’s Martial Arts Association and implement corresponding measures regarding the local martial arts sects for better management.
As for Fuhai Province, it seemed that it would be taken over by the Power Sect, which had a bad reputation.
Putting the two together, Gao Sheng had some guesses in his heart.
However…
Regardless of whether his guess was accurate, even if it was accurate,
Gao Sheng didn’t dare to speak up. Even though he couldn’t provoke Chen Sheng, he dared not provoke the Power Sect even more.
For him, the Power Sect was almost like an enormous existence.
Therefore,
Gao Sheng immediately put on an unwittingly confused expression.
“This is indeed a Spirit Seed.”
“But the Qi contained within it is not much, and I’m afraid it won’t last long.”
“As for why it’s like this, I’m not quite sure.”
At that point, it seemed Gao Sheng had remembered something.
Raising his arm as if swearing to heaven, he solemnly looked at Chen Sheng.
“Sect Leader Chen, I assure you,”
“We haven’t touched this Spirit Seed since it was delivered to us by the Fuhai Provincial Association.”
“The whole process of receiving and storing the Spirit Seed has been under monitoring in the association.” “You may examine it yourself.”
What Gao Sheng said was all true.
That’s why he dared to promise Chen Sheng so confidently.
However,
Even if Gao Sheng’s disguise was perfect.
The brief flash of doubt in his eyes when he saw the Spirit Seed just now still didn’t escape Chen Sheng’s observation.
After listening to Gao Sheng’s words, Chen Sheng hesitated for a moment and waved at him, signaling him to come closer.
Hmm?
Gao Sheng looked confused, not knowing what Chen Sheng wanted to do.
This was the Martial Arts Association, an official organization.
He didn’t believe that Chen Sheng would dare to cause trouble here.
Therefore,
Gao Sheng followed Chen Sheng’s instructions, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of him.
Then,
From an angle that nobody could see.
A cold light flashed in Chen Sheng’s eyes, and his mouth slightly opened.
“If you don’t tell the truth.”
“Next time, it won’t be just your legs that are broken.”
Hearing that bubbly voice that had appeared countless times in his nightmares,
Whoosh!
Gao Sheng instantly raised his head, looking at Chen Sheng in horror.
His thighs, which had once been pierced by Chen Sheng with a steel bar, were now throbbing in pain.
“Y-yes-”
Gao Sheng subconsciously wanted to scream,
But Chen Sheng raised a finger and gently placed it in front of him. “Even if I did it, you have no proof.”
“No one would believe that I would go to steal your Spirit medicine.”
“Moreover, you’ll die.”
The chilling words seeped into Gao Sheng’s ears,
He immediately shivered.
“Now. ”
“Can you tell me why my prize turned into a broken stone?”
Chen Sheng asked with a smile.
People who didn’t know,
Would think that the two were having an intimate conversation between friends.
Little did they know,
Gao Sheng was now struggling to hold in the urge to pee.
“No…no. ”
“Master Chen, please let me explain.”
“I’ll tell you everything.”
As he spoke,
Gao Sheng’s forehead was already filled with beads of sweat.
Five minutes later.
Chen Sheng declined the invitations from the surrounding martial artists to visit the Martial Arts Hall, and slowly walked outside. As soon as he left the Martial Arts Association,
His face quickly darkened.
“Power Sect…”
A sect from Kyoto.
Their leader was even a member of the Martial Arts Association Headquarters.
Even by just thinking about it, anyone would know that the strength of such a high-level figure must be unimaginable.
Furthermore, the Power Sect was located in Kyoto, thousands of kilometers away from Fuhai Province.
With Chen Sheng’s current strength, it was almost impossible to seek justice.
Chen Sheng’s expression became even more somber.
But Gao Sheng also told him another thing.
It was that Fuhai Province was now under the control of the Power Sect.
That is to say, it was very likely that they would send people to Fuhai Province.
Thinking about this,
There was a flash of fierceness in Chen Sheng’s eyes.
He continued to walk outside,
While pulling out his phone to search through his contacts.
Gao Sheng was just a small director of the Quanjiang City Martial Arts Association.
Knowing the general idea of these matters was already his limit.
For the specific details,
Of course, the people of Haizhou City Martial Arts Association would know more.
As it happened,
Chen Sheng saved everyone present at the Martial Arts Conference.
For this kind of information,
He believed that someone would be willing to share it with him.
Soon,
The phone call was connected.
“Chen Sheng?”
“Mhm.”
“You left so quickly last time that I didn’t have a chance to thank you.” “When you come to Haizhou, let me know, and I’ll be the one to host you.”
A man’s voice came through the phone. “I’ll make sure to take you up on that.” “Actually, I have something to ask you.”
In this way,
As Chen Sheng spoke on the phone, he jogged towards the grocery store..
