Mainland Martial Arts

After Lin Feng came out of the woods, he stood at the entrance of the village for a while, and then walked in. He looked around as he walked, and finally locked onto a bun shop. He rushed to the bun shop without hesitation, picked up the buns and ate them directly. This action directly stunned the owner of the bun shop, who was like a hungry wolf seeing meat. Seeing this, the surrounding villagers also slowly surrounded him.

The owner of the bun shop went up to pull, but couldn't move the bun. A ten-year-old child was actually stronger than an adult. The owner still refused to give up, and kept pulling while cursing, "You little bastard, don't waste my buns. I know you don't have money to pay. Go away."

Seeing that a grown man couldn't even pull a little kid, a nearby villager joked, "Old Li, you're so weak. You can't even pull a little kid away. Hahahaha!"

"That's right, just a kid."

The boss of the bun shop was so angry when he saw this that he simply gave up and said to the villager who was talking, "Come on, come on, if you can do it, come on."

Hearing the noise over here, Lin Feng stopped what he was doing, turned around and said in a choked voice: "I'm... sorry! Boss, I... I'm really too hungry, give... give me some water." After saying that, he kept patting his chest.

The owner of the bun shop saw this and didn't care about the buns being eaten. He looked for water anxiously and said, "Wait a minute, little brat. Water will be here soon."

After a while, Lin Feng took the water and drank it quickly, swallowing the bun stuck in his throat. He took a deep breath and said to the bun shop owner, "Boss, I'm sorry, I'm really hungry." After thinking for a while, he continued, "How about this, Boss? I'll work for you and make up for the money for this bun."

When the boss of the bun shop heard this, he knew that this kid was doing it on purpose. He might live in his house. He was immediately unhappy and said, "You kid, you are relying on me, right?"

"Isn't this just paying you back for the buns? By the way..." Lin Feng didn't finish his words, but gave the bun shop owner a wicked smile.

The bun shop owner thought that since this guy was so strong, he might not be able to drive him away. He might as well let him help with some work. After all, Lin Feng had plenty of strength. "Okay, my name is Li Yanxian, and everyone calls me Old Li. I'm your boss, and I'll help you move your things."

Seeing that Li Yan introduced himself first, Lin Feng did not hesitate: "Uncle Li, my name is Lin Feng, thank you for taking me in."

In this way, Lin Feng settled down with Li Yanxian.

After the bun shop closed, Li Yanxian took Lin Feng back to his home. Along the way, Lin Feng felt Li Yanxian's kindness and enthusiasm, and his heart was filled with gratitude.

After arriving home, Lin Feng met Li Yanxian's family. Li Yanxian's wife was Aunt Wang, a kind and amiable woman. They also had a son named Li Ming, a hardworking and kind young man.

Li Yanxian's family warmly welcomed Lin Feng's arrival. They prepared a warm room and rich food for Lin Feng, making him feel the warmth of home. He decided to repay the kindness of Li Yanxian's family with his own actions.

In the days that followed, Lin Feng volunteered to help with chores and work the fields with Li Ming. He diligently studied agriculture, striving to contribute to the family. He also found time to inquire about sulfur, but unfortunately, no one here had heard of it. Lin Feng had no choice but to give up his search and repay Li Yanxian's family first.

In the process of getting along, Lin Feng and Li Yanxian's family established a deep relationship. They spent many happy times together, and Lin Feng gradually adapted to the life in the village.

Days passed, and Lin Feng received no news of Sulfur. However, one ordinary evening, a shocking event shattered the village's tranquility. A middle-aged man stumbled into the village, carrying a little girl about Lin Feng's age on his back. They were covered in wounds, and the little girl was in a coma.

Seeing this, the villagers gathered around, concerned about what had happened. The man, breathing heavily and with a trembling voice, recounted their story. He had led a team there in search of a legendary creature—the Yellow Stone Worm. It was said that the core of the Yellow Stone Worm King possessed magical properties, capable of detoxifying thousand-year-old snake venom.

Lin Feng had been staying at Li Yanxian's house for several days, but he still had no clue what he was looking for. That evening, a middle-aged man stumbled into the village, carrying a little girl, about ten years old, on his back. They were covered in wounds, and the little girl was unconscious. The villagers gathered around him, anxiously asking the middle-aged man, "Where are the others? What's wrong? Where are those monsters?"

Lin Feng was also drawn in. He squeezed into the crowd and saw the middle-aged man, his face pale and his eyes revealing despair and exhaustion. He said in a trembling voice, "The monster... it's too powerful... our team was completely wiped out, and only the two of us escaped..." After saying this, he collapsed unconscious.

Lin Feng's heart sank as he realized that this place was fraught with great danger. Just as he was distracted, a faint, irritating gas suddenly drifted into his nose. It was the sulfur gas he was looking for.

Lin Feng finally found the clue about sulfur. He knew that the middle-aged man must have gone to a place where there was a lot of sulfur, but he encountered danger and escaped back. However, the smell on his body had not dissipated yet, which meant that he was not too far from here.

He couldn't wait any longer and immediately grabbed a villager to ask, "Uncle, where did they go? Why do they smell like sulfur?"

"Sulfur? ...Oh! You mean xanthocyanin?" Hearing the word sulfur, the villager was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening. Apparently, this world called sulfur xanthocyanin, which wasn't wrong, as sulfur can be used as a traditional Chinese medicine, and given its yellow color, it made sense to call it xanthocyanin.

Lin Feng suddenly realized that the sulfur he had been searching for for so long was actually xanthocyanin. No wonder he hadn't found any clues. "Yes, yes, it's xanthocyanin. Where is it? And what happened to that injured uncle?"

Lin Feng learned from this kind villager that the Huangyao Stone was to the west of the village, more than fifty miles away.

Ten years later, they discovered that a natural xanthate mine had formed after a volcanic eruption, and they wanted to mine the xanthate and sell it. Because xanthate is not only a medicine, but also can repel snakes, insects and ants, it can be sold at a good price.
