"Brian Lewis, your spirit is not far from this world. Logan Clark has first executed the two villains, and in the future will surely behead the true culprit, so you may rest in peace!" Logan Clark murmured to himself.

Hugh Rowe and Jason Sun were shocked when they heard this—Logan Clark was clearly intent on killing them! The two exchanged a glance, both trying to struggle to their feet, but before they could stand, a palm struck each of their backs. Both let out a miserable cry, spitting out a stream of blood, and collapsed with a crash!

"Brian Lewis, Logan Clark will not keep you waiting for long!" Logan Clark bowed to the tombstone, not sparing a glance at Rowe and Sun, and turned to leave.

The two of them had already had their vital channels shattered by him—they were dead beyond any hope!

To strike so ruthlessly and leave their corpses here in broad daylight, Logan Clark had his reasons.

He vaguely guessed that the reason Douglas Clark repeatedly provoked him was actually to test Nathan Clark's true strength! In the The Clark Family, only Nathan Clark had reached the twelfth level of the postnatal stage. As long as he remained at this peak, Henry Clark would have to keep his head down!

But Nathan Clark had been in seclusion for too long, and Henry Clark could no longer bear it, so he used him to test Nathan Clark! If it could be confirmed that Nathan Clark had suffered serious injuries after failing to break through to the innate realm, then Henry Clark would naturally launch his final strike to seize the position of family head!

But as long as Nathan Clark's condition remained unclear, no one would dare to truly do anything to Logan Clark. Otherwise, if Nathan Clark regained control of the family, who could bear the consequences when he settled accounts in the future?

Logan Clark's decisive killing of Rowe and Sun was precisely a warning!

……

Although the dense forest was rather remote, two days later, the corpses of Hugh Rowe and Jason Sun were still discovered.

This naturally caused a huge uproar in the The Clark Family!

Although Rowe and Sun were not worth mentioning in terms of cultivation, they were Douglas Clark's attendants, and Douglas Clark was the second grandson of Henry Clark. For them to be killed and their bodies so brazenly dumped in the forest could be seen as a direct provocation to Henry Clark!

But no one suspected Logan Clark as the murderer. Everyone knew that Logan Clark was a useless person stuck at the second level of the postnatal stage. Anyone could have killed Rowe and Sun, but definitely not Logan Clark!

This made Logan Clark feel both amused and exasperated. He had killed openly and honestly, yet no one even suspected him!

But Logan Clark had no time to care about this now. He finally had to face a big problem he couldn't avoid—he was out of money!

The ten fifth-grade demon cores had smoothly brought him to the fifth level of the postnatal stage, but after refining that sixth-grade demon core, Logan Clark would have to find a way to make money, or else he would return to the snail's pace of cultivation he had before.

"How can I make money?"

Logan Clark frowned in distress. If only he knew how to refine pills! Things like Flesh-Regeneration Pills and Hemostatic Powder could easily fetch over a dozen taels of silver per portion, and if it was a Yuan-Boosting Pill, the price could reach a thousand taels!

"Even if some alchemist is willing to take me as a disciple now, who knows how long it would take before I could actually refine pills? That path is out of the question!"

"Hmm? Alchemy, alchemy... I've got an idea! But I need to test if my idea is actually feasible!"

Logan Clark hurried to the kitchen to fetch a raw egg, then returned to his courtyard, took out a sheet of white paper, and wrapped the egg in it. Focusing his mind, he wrote the character for "forbid" on the paper.

As soon as the last stroke was finished, the paper instantly turned to shreds and fluttered down, revealing the intact egg inside.

"It really works!" Logan Clark clenched his fist in excitement, his face lighting up with joy.

His plan to get rich depended on a single alchemy ingredient called stone-root grass.

The roots of stone-root grass grow inside hard rocks, and extracting them intact requires a tremendous amount of effort.

Only the roots of stone-root grass can be used in medicine, and they must not be damaged in the slightest, or the juice inside will quickly leak out and evaporate! Although stone-root grass is not a rare herb—a "chunk" of raw material can be bought for just a tael of silver—a single intact "plant" of stone-root grass can fetch as much as ten taels!

This shows just how troublesome the extraction process is!

But with the forbidden character, Logan Clark only needed to write it on the stone, and the rock would turn to fragments, leaving the stone-root grass inside naturally separated. He had just tested it: the paper was shredded but the egg remained whole, so it should be able to keep the stone-root grass intact!

Of course, this was still just his theory; he needed to try it for real to be sure.

With only seven taels of silver left in his pocket, Logan Clark left the The Clark Residence. Since stone-root grass raw material wasn't rare, Logan Clark quickly found a vendor and bought seven chunks of it.

Because this was crucial to his plan to get rich, Logan Clark couldn't help but act a bit cautiously, making the vendor uncle secretly laugh at how inexperienced he was.

Back in his own courtyard, Logan Clark took out his brush and ink, calmed his mind, and in one go wrote the forbidden character on a stone.

Crack!

As soon as Logan Clark finished writing, the whole stone suddenly shattered, and a complete stone-root grass appeared among the fragments, not the slightest bit damaged!

"Excellent!" Logan Clark punched the air in excitement, thoroughly invigorated.

Repeating the process, Logan Clark turned the other six chunks into six more stone-root grasses. In less than half an hour, he had made an extra seventy taels of silver!
