Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Mindset Shift

Su Luo took steps, one after the other, towards Lin Wu.

The echoes of footfalls in the alley rang in Lin Wu’s ears as if they were a death knell, instilling terror within him.

"What, what are you going to do?" Lin Wu asked in horror.

"A life for a life! Since you desire to kill me, naturally, I cannot spare you," Su Luo replied coldly.

After inheriting the cultivation legacy, his temperament had changed subtly and quietly, becoming colder and more indifferent.

"Su Luo, my brother is one of Jiangbei’s Top Ten experts, Lin Jiangpu. If you dare to kill me, he will not let you go. You will have nowhere to bury your body," Lin Wu said through gritted teeth, bringing up his elder brother to intimidate Su Luo.

Su Luo sighed, "They always say a good person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden. In recent times, I’ve come to understand this all too well. Originally, I had no intention of killing you, but even now, you dare to threaten me. Do you really think I’m easy to bully?"

Su Luo couldn’t help but recall the recent events. He had been utterly submissive to Xu Yanran, and had treated Dong Fei as a good brother, only to be repaid with their heartless betrayal.

His kindness was a joke in their eyes.

They took advantage of him step by step.

Now, they had even sent Lin Wu to capture him. Even worse, Lin Wu had tried to kill him.

A fire blazed within Su Luo’s chest.

He wasn’t angry.

But he had grown extremely cold.

"What are you going to do?"

"Su Luo, you..."

Lin Wu’s face changed drastically.

But before he could finish his words, he was killed on the spot by a burst of True Qi from Su Luo’s kick!

He had killed a man!

Was he afraid?

To tell the truth, as someone who had always lived a humble life, Su Luo felt somewhat uneasy.

But did he regret it?

"No regrets!"

That was the answer in Su Luo’s heart.

Having received the cultivation legacy, encountering martial artists like Lin Wu, learning of martial power beyond his previous understanding, encountering Aunt Shen, and indirectly getting involved with Jiangbei’s legendary figure, Zhou Shihao, there were consequences...

All these events were reminders to Su Luo that from now on, his life would no longer be ordinary.

His mindset could no longer be the same; he couldn’t retain the mentality of a small town commoner.

Su Luo took a deep breath.

He didn’t leave the alley but went deeper in, leaping over and departing through another route.

However, Su Luo didn’t go straight back to the Su Family Ancestral House.

Instead, he found a food stall and ate his fill, finally calming his emotions.

"With Lin Wu dead, I hope that will be enough to deter the Dong Family and make them return the agreement they tricked me into signing," Su Luo thought to himself.

Of course, today’s events had also made it even clearer to Su Luo that only absolute strength could smooth everything over.

If he were powerful enough, would the Dong Family dare to covet the Su Family Ancestral House?

No, they wouldn’t!

If he were strong enough, with overwhelming power, would he ever need to let Aunt Shen continue to stay by Zhou Shihao’s side?

No!

Even if Aunt Shen didn’t want to follow him, he would have given her the freedom she deserved instead of letting her suffer next to Zhou Shihao, and using her to spite him for a fling they once shared.

Su Luo took a deep breath.

Strength!

He desperately needed to improve his own strength.

Of course, aside from Aunt Shen and the Su Family Ancestral House, Su Luo also had to be wary of the possibility that Lin Wu’s elder brother would seek revenge for him.

Although...

About Jiangbei’s Top Ten martial artists, Su Luo had never heard of them before.

But Lin Wu’s elder brother, being ranked among Jiangbei’s Top Ten, was almost certainly much stronger than Lin Wu.

Su Luo certainly did not wish to find himself chased like a stray dog, fleeing everywhere and having his life not under his own control, as he had that day.

"According to the inherited memories, judging by the description of Spiritual Energy, the Earth’s Spiritual Energy is simply too thin. Relying on slowly absorbing nature’s spiritual energy for a breakthrough will get increasingly difficult. If I could find some older herbs rich in Spiritual Energy to concoct into an Elixir, it would significantly hasten the pace of my cultivation,"

Su Luo said to himself.

Thinking this,

Su Luo immediately searched online for one of the renowned traditional Chinese medicine stores in the entire province and took a cab there, planning to purchase a batch of medicinal herbs for alchemy.

"Luckily, they’re still open at night."

Su Luo looked at the "Huichuntang" signboard and the shop’s ancient-styled pavilion with joy.

He entered and made his way to the area where the medicinal herbs were kept.

He handed over a prepared list of herbs to the clerk at the counter, "Hello, do you have the herbs on this list?"

The clerk took the list, looked through it from top to bottom, and nodded, "We have all of them. How much of each do you need?"

The herbs Su Luo was buying were intended for the concoction of a Qi Replenishing Pill, an Elixir that was quite effective for low-level cultivators in the Qi Refinement Realm.

He specified the quantities he required.

"The total will be 108,790 yuan. We can round it down for you to 108,000 yuan," the clerk said after tallying up the cost.

108,000 yuan?

Su Luo was stunned.

He used to be just an ordinary citizen. Although his grandfather had some mysterious techniques, he never taught them to Su Luo. After graduating from college, he earnestly worked and earned money. Aside from covering daily expenses, he had only managed to save slightly over 20,000 yuan until now.

This was far from enough!

"There’s indeed some truth to the saying ’scholars are poor, riches are in nature’" Su Luo thought to himself.

"No money?" the clerk noticed Su Luo’s difficulty and said with displeasure.

To think he had spent all this time explaining things only for a pauper to show up.

Su Luo noticed the change in the clerk’s attitude. He frowned slightly but said nothing. He did have money on him. After his passionate night with Shen Qingzhi, she had left a card with a full 10 million yuan on it, which Su Luo had not yet found an appropriate time to return to her.

But this was a matter of Su Luo’s pride; he couldn’t possibly use Shen Qingzhi’s money!

Suddenly, Su Luo pointed to a prescription hanging on the side, "If I can restore that prescription, does that mean I can get one million yuan’s worth of herbs for free?"

Next to him, a scroll was hanging with a prescription written on it. It was visibly old, with some of the characters blurred and barely legible.

The caption below read: Restore this prescription for a reward of one million yuan in cash!

"You? Don’t daydream. Move aside and don’t hinder our business," the clerk scoffed, clearly disbelieving Su Luo.
