Don’t be fooled by how easily Logan Clark made a huge profit—this isn’t a job just anyone can do so effortlessly!

Even for a seasoned veteran, the failure rate is high. On average, getting a single complete Stone Root Grass from five raw embryos is already quite impressive, and that takes at least half a month!

In other words, you can only earn ten taels of silver a month, just enough to support a family of three.

Only someone like Logan Clark, who has mastered the forbidden character, can get rich from this!

But a forbidden character is still a forbidden character. After writing it seven times, Logan Clark actually felt a sense of exhaustion, his whole body drenched in sweat. This fatigue wasn’t physical, but mental, making him drowsy.

After resting for a while, Logan Clark finally recovered his energy and hurried out with the seven stalks of Stone Root Grass.

Chapter 6: Robbery

Stone Root Grass is said to be an essential ingredient for refining Yuan-Boosting Pills, so it’s extremely sought after and never hard to sell. After making a round at the pharmacies, Logan Clark had seven ten-tael silver notes in his pocket.

Of course, a single sixth-rank demon core costs forty taels of silver, so Logan Clark didn’t even have enough to buy two!

—He spent all seventy taels on more raw Stone Root Grass embryos.

Because these embryos are quite bulky, Logan Clark had to make several trips to buy them all and bring them back to his courtyard. Writing seven forbidden characters already gave him a splitting headache—let alone seventy!

After extracting over thirty stalks of Stone Root Grass, Logan Clark collapsed on the ground, exhausted, sweat pouring off him like rain, his head feeling as if countless needles were stabbing into it—utterly miserable.

He overcame it with great willpower, and when he felt a bit better, he continued writing forbidden characters on the embryos.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

One by one, the embryos turned to dust, and Logan Clark finally obtained seventy stalks of Stone Root Grass, leaving him sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, not wanting to get up!

It took a great effort to recover, but Logan Clark was surprised to find that his mind had become even more resilient!

“I didn’t expect that writing forbidden characters would actually temper my spirit. In that case, I should practice more in the future!”

Logan Clark thought to himself, pocketed the seventy stalks of Stone Root Grass, and headed out to the pharmacies again.

But with so much Stone Root Grass, he didn’t dare sell it all in one place, to avoid arousing suspicion and causing trouble. After all, there are five pharmacies in Poplar Town, so he sold a dozen or so stalks at each one. By spreading it out, he wouldn’t attract attention.

However, just as he left the fourth pharmacy, he was spotted by a lean man in his thirties. The skinny man looked at Logan Clark with a hint of suspicion, then walked into the pharmacy and asked a clerk, “Was that young man just here to sell herbs?”

“Oh, it’s Big Brother Drew!” The clerk immediately put on a respectful expression. “Yes, he sold fourteen stalks of Stone Root Grass, all perfectly extracted!”

This lean man was named David Drew, the same clerk who had served Logan Clark when he sold Stone Root Grass at the second pharmacy. He wasn’t stupid, and immediately started to ponder: “That kid clearly has so much Stone Root Grass, so why sell it at different pharmacies? I checked those stalks carefully—none were damaged, and they weren’t fake!”

“…Could it be that this kid has mastered some secret technique to quickly extract the embryos? That must be it. He didn’t want to arouse suspicion, so he distributed them among the pharmacies. But what he’d never guess is that all the pharmacies in this town belong to the White Cloud Sect!”

“If I could get this secret technique, not only could I make a fortune, but I could also use it to be accepted as a disciple by the White Cloud Sect. Then, becoming a master of the Qi Explosion or Gang Qi stages would be within reach, maybe even entering the Innate Realm!”

“Haha, then I’d be a man above men, eating the best food, drinking the finest wine, playing with the most beautiful women, and sleeping in the biggest house!”

“But, I don’t know what this kid’s strength is. I’d better test him first. If I can handle him myself, I’ll get rich alone. Otherwise, I’ll have to call Mark Mason and Gavin Wood!”

…

With fifteen sixth-rank demon cores in hand, Logan Clark happily returned to his courtyard and immediately began cultivating!

Mid-stage of the fifth postnatal level, late-stage, then peak!

Time flew by, and Logan Clark’s strength grew rapidly. After about ten days, he once again reached the threshold of a breakthrough, gathering strength to charge into the sixth postnatal level!

Once, twice, three times!

The fifth and sixth postnatal levels are both within the Tiger Strength Realm, so the breakthrough wasn’t particularly difficult. After more than a dozen attempts, Logan Clark felt his whole body open up, officially stepping into the sixth postnatal level!

In just over a month, he had gone from the second to the sixth postnatal level—a cultivation speed that would absolutely shock anyone!

Even the richest people, who could eat Yuan-Boosting Pills like snacks nonstop, couldn’t achieve something so outrageous!

After reaching the sixth postnatal level, with Logan Clark’s comprehension, he immediately mastered the sixth form of Tiger Shadow Fist. However, with his current true energy, he could only use Six Shadows nine times in a row, but Five Shadows reached seventeen times, and Four Shadows thirty-one times!

If he were up against someone who didn’t know martial arts, Six Shadows could instantly kill a martial artist of the same level! Logan Clark sneered inwardly—if Douglas Clark came to provoke him again, he’d just break his arms and legs!
