"No problem, come whenever you want. I'll leave all these medicinal materials to you. Don't worry, even if someone offers a million, I won't sell them, hehehe..."
As Old He spoke, he chuckled jokingly, "These medicinal materials are worth at most tens of thousands of yuan; a million? That's just a pipe dream."
Zhou Xuan's bodyguards also came over and helped Zhou Xuan and Lao He move the medicinal materials into the trunk of the car. When it couldn't fit them all, Lao He called a small truck to load them. Then he personally accompanied them back to the Fu family villa. Since they had nothing else to do, they simply helped Zhou Xuan plant the medicinal materials. After planting them, they watered them.
After helping with everything, Lao He explained some basic cultivation principles to Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan nodded in response, not caring about those things at all. He figured that after planting the medicinal materials and infusing them with some special abilities, they would grow to be almost the same size as the previous thousand-year-old plants by tomorrow.
Seeing that everything was alright, Lao He took his leave and went back. Zhou Xuan didn't keep him any longer because he needed to go back and select from the dozens of wealthy people seeking medical treatment the one who could offer the highest price, and then report back to Zhou Xuan.
After Zhou Xuan and Lao He left, he then infused the medicinal materials with his special abilities, leaving no one out. After finishing, he had nothing to do, so he practiced mind reading. Once he was familiar with the method, he was truly adept at it. He tested the bodyguards outside and passersby one by one. He could read the thoughts of whichever person he wanted. As long as he focused, he could read the deepest and most hidden thoughts or memories in that person's mind.
Zhou Xuan enjoys being able to read other people's thoughts, but not to probe his family. He uses it to detect hostile individuals, as that would better protect his family and himself.
Just as I was feeling happy, my phone rang. I looked at the number on the screen and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. After thinking for a moment, I answered it anyway, and a clear female voice came through.
"Ze save me...I'm here...I'm here..."
The voice was urgent and tense. Zhou Xuan knew immediately it was Luo Ya, the woman who had almost gotten him into trouble. Hearing her voice, he was somewhat indifferent, but then he heard Luo Ya in the phone call, seemingly in some alley, and he could hear people surrounding her nearby, the sound of guns being cocked, and shouts from her opponents. This was indeed true. Luo Ya hurriedly repeated the address to Zhou Xuan, and then the phone went dead.
Zhou Xuan really didn't want to pay attention to her, but since Luo Ya was really in danger, he still felt he shouldn't leave her unrescued. After thinking about it, he got up and went out without telling the rest of the family. He just said he was going out for a walk. The bodyguards knew that Zhou Xuan was more skilled than them, so he didn't need their protection and didn't say anything.
Zhou Xuan walked down a street before hailing a taxi. He pressed the language converter button, told the driver the location, and the driver naturally understood where it was and drove straight there.
Upon arriving at their destination, Zhou Xuan found himself on a quiet, sparsely populated street. After paying the fare and getting out of the car, he waited until the driver drove away before using his special ability to detect Luo Ya's image. He immediately began tracking her and saw her being grabbed and shoved into three cars by seven or eight extremely strong men who then headed west. (Latest chapter search on Baidu:)
After Zhou Xuan pinpointed the direction of the three cars, he took a taxi to follow them. While sitting in the car, Zhou Xuan scanned the images and told the driver the direction. It was fortunate that he had this ability; otherwise, if it were someone else without superpowers, even if they received Luo Ya's call, how would they have the ability to find her?
Guided by Zhou Xuan, the driver drove around and around the city, eventually reaching a relatively secluded auto repair shop in the suburbs. The trail became fixed there. Zhou Xuan got out of the car about 300 meters away, and after the driver left, he quietly headed towards the repair shop. With his supernatural ability, he could detect that the building behind the repair shop was very large. In front of it were five black men and one white man, all six of them very tall and armed. The repair shop itself was so long that it exceeded 400 meters, making it impossible for Zhou Xuan to detect.
After listening to their conversation, Zhou Xuan realized that these people were members of a criminal gang. They had a lot of men and guns, including powerful AKs. Moreover, Luo Ya wasn't in the front. So Zhou Xuan used his special ability to destroy their guns and bullets, so they posed no threat to him.
Zhou Xuan then read through the thoughts of these six people. He clearly saw Luo Ya's appearance in their minds as well. These people coveted Luo Ya and swore at her. They stopped talking when Zhou Xuan appeared in front of them in a grand manner. They glanced at each other and then stared at Zhou Xuan. Because they did not know what Zhou Xuan's purpose was, they did not intend to make a move.
The black man at the front spoke first, asking, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Tell your men to release that beautiful woman, and I'll spare you!"
Although Zhou Xuan spoke calmly, his words were incredibly arrogant and overbearing, showing no regard for the six burly men.
These six black and white foreigners were all over 1.9 meters tall, and the two black men were extremely strong, weighing at least 150 kilograms. Zhou Xuan, on the other hand, was thin and weak, and looked to be only 1.7 meters tall. Such a weak person did not need the help of these six men; any one of them could easily pin Zhou Xuan down. However, they all stared suspiciously at Zhou Xuan's back. Since he was so bold and arrogant, he must have something to rely on, otherwise he would be courting death.
Since he has something to rely on, we need to consider what it is. Either he has guns or he has men. But they all have guns, and there are dozens of brothers among them, each with a gun. What use is one gun to him? The only possibility is that he has men.
The six burly men immediately thought of this problem. They quickly separated, two keeping an eye on Zhou Xuan, while the other four went to observe from the front. In front of the repair shop was a highway with no houses in sight; you could see right out of there. The four of them looked around for a while but didn't see anyone. They couldn't help but wonder, how could this yellow-skinned Asian be so bold? Was he crazy?
The four men immediately turned back and surrounded Zhou Xuan, forming a circle around him. The two black men in the lead stretched out their thick arms and were about to grab Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan didn't use his ice-based supernatural ability or the blazing sun. Instead, he hardened his body and used the ability taught to him by the strange fish. He punched one of the black men who was grabbing him, and the punch landed on the black man's right shoulder. With a "crack," the sound of bone breaking accompanied the black man's flying body, and then with a "boom," he slammed heavily against the wall. He only managed to cry out "Ouch!" before he was too weak to cry out in pain anymore. His eyes rolled back, and he clearly fainted from the pain.
Zhou Xuan's punch startled everyone, including Zhou Xuan himself. The other black man who attacked him landed a heavy punch on Zhou Xuan's face. Because Zhou Xuan didn't know martial arts, he wasn't agile. The punch hit Zhou Xuan's face hard, but instead of Zhou Xuan's head being knocked to the side or his teeth being knocked out, the other man clutched his arms and cried out in pain. The punch had shattered all the bones in his fist, and his hand was covered in blood. This punch was worse than hitting a stone or a steel plate!
The remaining four burly men let out a "whoosh" and retreated in a flash, two carrying guns and two carrying oversized wrenches to deal with Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan was very excited. The ability the strange fish taught him was very useful. He just didn't know if this ability could block bullet attacks. However, Zhou Xuan was still not very willing to test it. After all, bullets are not iron rods. Even if he used a knife to cut them, Zhou Xuan would feel more at ease and would dare to try. But he was really afraid of bullets and dared not easily put himself to the test.
The other four burly men brought out large wrenches, and two others took out pistols, pointing them at Zhou Xuan. Zhou Xuan didn't care at all; the pistols were already useless, and as for the wrenches, Zhou Xuan was just about to test the power of his steel body.
The force of the punch was heavy enough. Zhou Xuan hadn't even used his full strength in that punch. If he had, it might have killed someone. Zhou Xuan didn't have a touchstone right now, so he didn't know how heavy his punch really was.
The two burly men with guns didn't make the first move. They waited for the two men with wrenches to attack first to see how things went. With a pistol in hand, they should be safe, even though Zhou Xuan's fists looked quite formidable.
The two burly men with wrenches exchanged a glance, then swung them forcefully from either side, aiming to smash Zhou Xuan's left and right shoulders. Zhou Xuan remained motionless, waiting for the wrenches to hit him. If they were to hit his head or face, he would try to block them; his shoulders were quite resilient to blows.
Two sharp clangs of metal clashing rang out. The two burly men cried out in pain as their hands, gripping the wrenches and striking the metal, were ripped open with several large gashes, blood streaming down their faces. Even more astonishingly, both of their wrenches were bent into a crooked shape, as if they were made of clay, twisted beyond recognition.
Looking at Zhou Xuan's shoulder, he was standing there perfectly fine, without even a trace of pain on his face.
They were astonished, and even Zhou Xuan himself was somewhat surprised. However, he understood that his abilities were indeed real. The wrench blows from those two burly men had a force of at least several hundred pounds, but after hitting him heavily, Zhou Xuan felt nothing. His body didn't feel much impact. Looking at the two bent wrenches, he was certain that his abilities and the hardness of his body far exceeded steel, surpassing the hardest substance in the world. Calling him a man of steel would actually be an understatement.
At this moment, the two men with pistols were stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and raised their guns to fire at Zhou Xuan without hesitation. However, no bullets were fired from the pistols, and there was no sound.
Zhou Xuan immediately stepped forward and, without any hesitation, punched each of the two burly men, sending them flying and crashing into the wall, leaving them dazed and unable to get up!
Looking back now, the two burly men whose hands were injured were actually the ones who were relatively lightly hurt. However, they retreated one after another, not daring to get close to Zhou Xuan.
Zhou Xuan ignored them; asking them was useless because he had already thoroughly unearthed their thoughts, making them much clearer and more detailed than they could have said themselves.
After walking more than two hundred meters inside, Zhou Xuan saw a dozen or so burly men with knives and guns lined up waiting for him. Thirty or forty meters behind them, Luo Ya was hanging on a platform more than thirty meters high. Below, at the mechanism, there were seven or eight people guarding the area, all with fierce eyes staring at Zhou Xuan.
Without saying a word, Zhou Xuan immediately used his supernatural ability to freeze the people guarding the mechanism. However, no one noticed this because Zhou Xuan's freezing ability was invisible and silent.
However, Zhou Xuan didn't freeze the dozen or so people facing him. He wanted to understand just how strong his body was. If even a wrench struck by gravity couldn't hurt him, and even bent the wrench, then this type of alloy steel wrench could only be bent with the force of a machine tool, not by human strength alone. So Zhou Xuan wondered if his body could withstand bullets.
Zhou Xuan has always had an inexplicable fear of bullets. When he first gained his superpower, he once transformed and absorbed them. The impact of those bullets was so strong that they almost killed him. Even after his abilities became stronger, he still didn't dare to block bullets. He knew that with his abilities, if he tried to transform and absorb bullets, he could only block three or four at most. The impact of bullets was too strong. Pistol bullets were somewhat better, but rifle bullets had even stronger penetrating power. Even now, at the peak of his abilities, Zhou Xuan didn't dare to block bullets without any scruples. He estimated that he could only transform and absorb six or seven bullets. If they were fired in rapid succession, or if there were more than five or six people attacking, with more than seven or eight bullets fired per second, then he would have no way to stop them.
But now that Zhou Xuan has received guidance from the strange fish, he has acquired and mastered mind reading and the Iron Body. After several intense attacks, he wants to seriously test the bullet attack.
The dozen or so men aimed their guns at Zhou Xuan, both long and short, and fired bullets at him like rain. Zhou Xuan raised his hand to shield his eyes, followed by a series of clanging and banging sounds, the sounds of bullets hitting steel.
After the chaotic gunfire stopped, everyone opened their eyes wide and stared at Zhou Xuan. They then discovered that apart from his clothes being riddled with bullet holes, Zhou Xuan had not a single drop of blood on his body. What was even stranger was that there were splattered bullet heads all around his body within a meter or two!

Zhou Xuan was completely unharmed, surrounded by splattered bullets. The bizarre scene left the dozens of gangsters in the arena speechless with astonishment.
