Chapter 509 Immortal Fate

Not many people dared to go into the mountains because of the rumor.

There were only a few people.

Most of them were unstable elements who were not satisfied with the status quo and were attracted by the rumor of the immortal fate and wanted to change.

For these people, many people had a mentality of watching jokes.

Waiting to see them waste their energy in vain and pass away disappointed after a while, or even being unlucky enough to be taken away by wild beasts in the deep mountains and die in an unknown corner of the mountain.

Many people were looking forward to seeing them return in embarrassment and disappointment.

However,

a few days passed,

more than ten days passed,

a month passed,

people came and went in and out of the Shangshan Mountains to collect herbs.

Among the few people who had announced that they would go into the depths of Shangshan to find the immortal fate, one or two disappeared,

probably died in the dangerous Shangshan Mountains.

But the remaining few people did not show any disappointment when someone saw them return.

They returned with a full load of herbs picked in the depths of Shangshan Mountains.

Some people asked them if they had found the immortal fate and what they encountered in the mountains.

Those people basically laughed and chatted a few words without revealing anything.

Later, someone with a keen eye found that after they sold the various medicinal herbs they collected on the mountain, they went back into the mountains.

They came back every six or seven days,

and they made a lot of money every time,

and there was no loss among the people who first announced that they would go into the mountains to find the immortal fate.

This strange situation naturally attracted the attention of others.

You should know that the Shangshan Mountains stretch for tens of thousands of miles. Although there are countless medicinal herbs in the mountains, there are also many dangers.

Ordinary herbalists who have never practiced martial arts may encounter various dangerous creatures such as poisonous snakes, leeches, poisonous insects, etc. even if they collect herbs on the outskirts of the mountains, not to mention predatory beasts such as tigers, leopards, wolves, etc.

And these are not the most dangerous.

The miasma in the mountains and the fighting and competition among humans who are also herbalists are more terrible than the threats of wild beasts and tigers!

Going up the mountain to collect herbs is not a safe thing.

If you make a mistake, you may die here.

Even experienced herbalists can't say they will be able to come back alive the next time they go up the mountain.

This is why Shangshan City has been established for more than 30 years, but the medicinal materials produced in the outer part of the mountain are still in a steady stream.

The Shangshan Mountains are too vast and too dangerous.

It is difficult for humans to sweep the medicinal materials in the mountains like locusts.

In such a dangerous place,

even a warrior with internal strength can't necessarily escape unscathed if he frequently goes in and out of Shangshan.

But what do they rely on?

You should know that among those people, there was an old man named Wang who was originally a laborer carrying bags at the dock of Shangshan City. He was honest and simple and had no experience in going into the mountains.

And his purpose of going into the mountains was very simple. His only son was sick, and the nearby doctor diagnosed that it was a terminal illness.

His family has been a single-line inheritance for many generations, and if someone dies, it is estimated that the family will be cut off.

He asked for leave from the dock manager and stayed at home to smoke three large packs of dry tobacco.

He picked up a rope, a bag, and a hatchet and walked up the mountain.

At that time, an acquaintance working at the dock saw him passing by and asked him where he was going. He did not hide it and said frankly that he was going to the mountains to try his luck and see if he could find the rumored immortal fate and save his son's life.

This statement undoubtedly shocked others.

No one thought that Old Wang, who was usually honest and dull, never lazy at work, and dared not say a word when the White Flame Gang took away half of his hard-earned wages, would have such courage to not fear death.

The White Flame Gang minions who were collecting money at the dock laughed and sarcastically said, with your ability, you will have to leave your life there when you go up the mountain, so why bother?

The old man surnamed Wang just replied lightly: If it doesn't work, then the old Wang family will be extinct, so why keep this old life?

Then, regardless of everything, he went up the mountain alone amid the pity and sneer of everyone.

It was originally thought that the dock laborer Old Wang would soon be dead in the wilderness, killed by the temptation of the rumor.

But who knew that about seven or eight days later, the laborer Lao Wang actually came back from the deep mountains.

And he was carrying a large bag of medicinal herbs picked from the mountains.

He sold the medicinal herbs to the medicine shop and got a large sum of money.

He used that money to hire the most famous doctor in Shangshan City, spent a large amount of money, and finally saved his son's life.

Seeing this, the familiar laborers on the dock spitted and cursed that the old guy was lucky to come back alive and make such a large fortune. They couldn't help but be jealous.

Just when they thought that Lao Wang would continue to return to the dock to move goods and were thinking about how to treat the old guy,

Lao Wang went into the mountains again without stopping.

It is said that although his son's life was saved, he would need to take medicine for a long time in the future to stabilize his condition, so he had no choice but to go into the mountains again.

People who knew the inside story also sighed in their hearts, but at the same time they also asserted that Lao Wang was dead.

How could it be so easy to get around in the Shangshan Mountains?

I got lucky once, but could I be so lucky every time?

However, the result was that

in the next month or so,

the laborer Lao Wang went to the mountains and the city many times.

Each time he made a great harvest.

In just one month, I managed to raise enough money to pay for my son’s treatment, and I also made a lot of money to buy a small house in Shangshan City!

Being poor for a long time and suddenly getting rich,

A laborer living at the bottom suddenly had this ability,

How could this not arouse suspicion in others?

That one sounds like a fake thing about Laozi Xianyuan, let’s not mention it.

That Lao Wang was able to enter the Shangshan Mountains for the first time several times, and he gained a lot this time, and escaped unscathed, there must be a secret!

then,

Not surprisingly,

Lao Wang, who had always behaved honestly and honestly in the past, was being targeted.

Lao Wang’s changes,

The White Flame Gang, who had been gathering at the dock, reacted immediately and sent people to spy near the house purchased by the old king. They would seize his secrets as soon as the old king came back from the mountain.

However,

The members of the Baiyan Gang and their boss, who felt that they would make a fortune if they could force out Lao Wang's secret, never thought about the possibility that Lao Wang would resist.

It was also that night,

The White Flame Gang went to Lao Wang's house, trying to seize the secret members, but they were all killed on the spot!

The people of the Baiyan Gang never thought that Lao Wang, an ordinary person who used to move goods in the dock, was submissive and didn't dare to say a word if he took more money from him, would become so terrifying!

What's more, I didn't expect that an ordinary dock warrior would suddenly have such terrifying force!
