Henry Stone was astonished—he had actually broken through the second limit so easily?
According to the academy, each limit was harder to break than the last. That’s why, in Huayuan Country, martial apprentices made up a full tenth of the population, but martial masters were only one in ten thousand, and martial lords were even rarer—less than one in ten million.
Yet for Henry Stone, breaking through the second limit was even easier than the first.
Nine Revolutions Sky-Snatching Sutra!
Henry Stone took a deep breath, gaining a new appreciation for the importance of this cultivation method.
He didn’t stop, but continued to circulate the Nine Revolutions Sky-Snatching Sutra, letting his strength keep rising.
Twelve thousand jin of force.
Henry Stone believed that as long as he healed his meridian injuries, and with the countless martial techniques in his mind, he could even go toe-to-toe with an intermediate martial master.
And in just a few days, he’d be able to easily defeat intermediate martial masters, maybe even advanced ones.
After traveling for most of the day, Henry Stone finally returned to the academy. The moon was already high in the sky.
Perfect timing.
Henry Stone went to the infirmary—he needed equipment to prepare medicine, and this place had it.
With his current strength, prying open the door lock was naturally an easy task.
Inside the infirmary, all kinds of medicinal ingredients were locked in cabinets, but Henry Stone didn’t bother with those—he just needed to borrow the equipment.
He began to prepare the medicine, his movements smooth and practiced, as if he’d been immersed in this craft for countless years.
“All done.” As the sun rose, Henry Stone broke into a smile.
He had made a total of five bottles of hemostatic powder.
How effective was it?
In Yuan Chengmie’s memories, the hemostatic effect was astonishing, but Henry Stone was still a novice—he didn’t know if he might have made some small mistake, so he needed to test it.
Chapter 6: Selling Medicine
Henry Stone wandered around and found a big yellow dog rummaging for food in the trash by the cafeteria.
This was the academy’s bully.
Although the big yellow dog wasn’t a fierce beast and its strength was limited, it was notorious for its ferocity. It bullied the weak and feared the strong—if it met someone tough, it’d run away immediately, but if it saw a newcomer, it would pounce on them viciously.
Of every ten new students, nine had been bullied by this big yellow dog.
Alright, you’ll do.
Henry Stone fixed his gaze on the big yellow dog and quietly approached. When he was just thirty feet away, he suddenly pushed off with his left leg, shooting forward like an arrow—blindingly fast.
Twelve thousand jin of explosive force—how could he not be fast?
The big yellow dog finally sensed danger and tried to run, but it was too late. Henry Stone grabbed it in one swift motion.
“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you,” Henry Stone said with a smile, then took out a small knife and made a cut on the dog’s leg.
Big yellow dog: “……”
Are you crazy? This is what you call not hurting me?
Henry Stone quickly took out the hemostatic powder and applied it. An astonishing scene unfolded—the bleeding stopped instantly, and a scab formed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Amazing!
Henry Stone beamed. His first attempt at making medicine was a complete success—he really was a genius.
“Woof woof woof!” The big yellow dog kept barking. If it could talk, it would probably be cursing Henry Stone from head to toe.
“I can’t let you go just yet. Come with me one more time,” Henry Stone said to the big yellow dog, planning to take it to the pharmacy for another demonstration—facts spoke louder than words.
The big yellow dog whimpered. What did it ever do to deserve this?
Henry Stone didn’t bother with breakfast and took the big yellow dog straight into the city.
Of course, the big yellow dog didn’t want to cooperate. In its eyes, Henry Stone was no different from a demon. But with Henry Stone holding its leg, it couldn’t run away.
“Don’t be so upset. Once I have the ingredients, I’ll make you some pills to awaken your intelligence—your life as a dog will never be the same,” Henry Stone said with a smile.
This wasn’t an empty promise. Beasts could indeed awaken intelligence and become as powerful as fierce beasts—then they’d be called spirit beasts.
Before long, Henry Stone entered the city and arrived at the entrance of Huichun Hall.
Huichun Hall was the most powerful pharmacy in Mengyang City, with more than a dozen branches. This was just one of them.
Henry Stone paused at the door, then walked in.
“Hello, sir. What medicine do you need?” A friendly shop assistant greeted him right away, but when he saw the big yellow dog Henry Stone was carrying, he froze.
This is a pharmacy—we don’t buy dog meat.
Is this guy right in the head?
If Henry Stone wasn’t so good-looking, the assistant would have thrown him out.
Henry Stone smiled and got straight to the point: “I’m here to sell medicine.”
You’re selling medicine to a pharmacy?
Well, Huichun Hall did buy medicines, but what’s with the dog?
The assistant couldn’t help glancing at the big yellow dog—there was something mesmerizing about it.
The big yellow dog bared its teeth at the assistant, trying to intimidate him.
What are you looking at? This dog has nothing to do with that lunatic.
“Sir, please come inside. I’ll fetch the manager for you,” the assistant said, bowing and ushering Henry Stone in. There were quite a few people inside.
He wasn’t authorized to buy medicines—the manager had to make that decision.
He had Henry Stone sit to the side, then hurried off to find the manager.
