Chapter 515
"Phew…"
Luo Di slowly exhaled, blowing white mist from his mouth . He looked up at the worn-down, slightly yellowish shop . He grasped his right arm, and slowly walked into the shop .
The interior of the shop was dimly lit . There was a bowl of soup left on the counter, only the noodles were eaten . A pair of wet chopsticks was left on the side . The wet stains formed two lines on the glass countertop .
The clock on the wall ticked away . The second hand would occasionally rub against some metallic object and creak .
"I'm going to trouble you again, Madhu," Luo Di said in a deep voice .
His initially strong, big, and tall body was currently emaciated, and even his bones protruded under his skin . His whiskers had long been neglected, while his eyes were sunken, which made him look thin and pallid .
A bright-eyed middle-aged man stood up slowly from behind the counter . This man seemed skinnier than the current Luo Di .
"It's alright… Old rules, old price . However, you're about to face the death scene soon, right?" The man's voice was as sharp as a duck's .
"Mhm . Very soon…" Luo Di nodded .
"After all these years… If you die as well, I won't have many old friends left," said the man ruefully . "So, don't die . "
Luo Di managed an unsightly smile . "I'll… try my best…"
****************
One month later…
"Blub, blub, blub…"
A huge amount of extremely thick light green liquid was brewing in a large pot . Lu Sheng stood at the side and kept stirring the liquid with a wooden trowel as he kept an eye on the intensity of the fire .
'This is the final pot… This should be enough for now…'
Ever since he returned, he hired some workers and started making large batches of medicine . He bought all the herbs he could get his hands on around the manor .
There was a total of 115 formulas on the list .
For every medicine, he had prepared enough to last 100 users 50 years . The concentrations were terrifyingly high .
Very quickly, as the contents of the pot thickened, Lu Sheng's countdown was also finished .
An acrid smell of something overcooking started wafting into the air .
"It's done . " Lu Sheng tossed the trowel away and lifted the pot . He did not seem to mind that it was still boiling, and poured it directly down his throat .
"Glug, glug, glug…"
Fortunately, there was nobody around him . Otherwise, if they'd witnessed this scene, they would have fainted in shock . If he was able to pour the boiling medicine into his mouth, he could no longer be considered human .
"Deep Blue!"
After Lu Sheng drank everything, his stomach was bloated .
He immediately summoned his modifier, and focused his gaze onto the frame .
"Improve Gelailo Sword Skill!"
"Hiss…"
The frame suddenly blurred .
Lu Sheng's skin quickly reddened and swelled . His height was 180 cm initially, but he was slowly getting taller now .
This was a natural process of gigantification, which occurred when the body was strengthened to a certain threshold .
His bones were strengthened, becoming thicker and harder . His muscles became bigger and tougher . His strength and agility increased as well . All these improvements required a huge amount of energy .
If there was no way to condense one's energy, it was only natural for a person's body to swell and enlarge to contain more muscles .
A few seconds later, the frame became clear again .
"Gelailo Sword Skill, Great Master (special quality, sword skill, complete . Strength increment, level one hundred and three, Constitution increment, level one hundred and three, speed increment, level one hundred and three . )"
'I've gone up by one level . Not bad . ' Lu Sheng nodded slightly . 'However, this is still too slow for me…' He frowned .
'Moreover, I can find some muscle training techniques from what I've learned that can be applied in this world . There's so much improvement in my Mental Energy, but I'm only using so little of it . There should be enough for the future . '
He put the large pot down, turned around, and walked out of the kitchen . He went into the warehouse .
Containers with various medicines were arranged on the iron shelves inside the warehouse . Every container contained concentrated medicine copious enough to last 100 people 50 years . They were practically gel-like substances that were almost solid .
'My body is already strong enough to withstand the poisons' stimulation . Well, what'll happen if I mix different poisons together?' Lu Sheng suddenly had this thought .
He had Deep Blue, after all . It did not matter what kind of poison it was . As long as he spent some Mental Energy for the derivation, he would certainly be able to derive the corresponding training method, and directly convert the poison's effects into a strengthening effect .
'But before that, I must first derive the extreme Yin status . Otherwise, it would be bad if I turn into a strangely shaped being from all that strengthening and Luo Di mistakes me for a monster…' Lu Sheng remembered the situation that happened when he'd cultivated the hard body skill, and his face twitched .
He casually picked a can of ointment, and poured it into his mouth . Then, he chewed on it on his way back to his bedroom . He was ready to rest .
"Young… Young Master… there's a guest here for you…" A voice that was trembling with fear immediately reached him from the courtyard . It was a servant from the manor .
Ever since Lu Sheng crushed the head of a servant who accidentally left some ingredients out from the list, nobody dared to talk to him face to face anymore .
Such a situation was normal close to the borders . The laws were too far away to reach them, and nobody would safeguard them here .
After Lu Sheng crushed the heads of the family members of a person who tried to scam them, nobody mentioned that matter in front of him anymore .
"A guest? For who? For me?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice .
"Yes…" the servant replied in a trembling voice .
"Mhm… Have him wait a while . " Lu Sheng turned around and walked toward his wardrobe . He intended to search for a piece of clothing which could fit him .
. . . .
On the arching stone bridge beside the manor's mill, a black-clothed person completely covered with a cloak stood before the doors of the courtyard . The person waited silently .
Under the hood was a cold face that did not seem to contain any blood .
His name was Solomon . He came here to pass the message Luo Di had for his son, Luo Sang .
He was an old friend of Luo Di . They were sworn friends for life and death . Currently, Luo Di and the others had already headed toward that place to encounter the death scene .
However, he was asked to come here and have Luo Sang leave this place by telling him a fabricated story . He would tell Luo Sang to go to another place to inherit a supposedly huge fortune…
"Meaningless," Solomon muttered under his breath . He had seen Luo Sang before . He was a brat so cowardly that he did not even meet his gaze .
In the short span of time he was waiting for the doors to open, he decided not to follow his good friend's request . Instead, he intended to tell Luo Sang the truth .
He would leave the decision up to Luo Sang .
"That's the fair choice . " Solomon sighed softly .
"Creak . "
The doors opened . This courtyard was the only place in the manor that was used for sword practice .
The doors were barely open, but Solomon already choked on the thick smoke that wafted out . He could not see anything through the smoke .
"Is Luo Sang here?" His expression remained unchanged, and he maintained his straight posture .
"You are?" A ringing voice came from the thick smoke .
"I am Solomon . I'm here to tell you unfortunate news . " Solomon was not a man good with words . Hence, he decided to get straight to the point .
"Your father is going to die . "
"…"
There was an awkward silence .
"…Sorry, what did you say? Can you repeat it?" The smoke was slowly dispersing . It was only now that Solomon caught a clear glimpse of the figure that stood behind the door .
It was a strong and big man who was taller than him by a head . If he raised his arms, a horse could gallop across them . His chest was as hard as steel granite, and the knots of his muscles were like small hills . This man was standing at the door and looking down at him with a focused gaze .
It was only now that Solomon noticed that the mist was this huge man's breath…
He only had one thought . 'Wtf . . . '
His heart shook wildly . He began to wonder if he had come knocking on the wrong door .
He took a deep breath and decided to try again .
"I said… your father is going to die . "
His voice barely faded when Solomon saw the smile on the huge man's face freeze .
"Boom!"
For an instant, he felt as if he had seen God . His body floated on clouds and was shrouded in mist . He reeled for who knew how far . The powerful impact made him feel as if he was a machine that was about to break apart .
His sternum whined and his brain rolled . His stomach felt as if it was tugged and pulled by a large hand .
"Splash!"
He plunged into the river like a cannonball . He crashed to the riverbed, and bounced back up to the surface .
"Pooh!"
He could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood . He lay on the water's surface while looking at the sky .
"It's so good… to be alive…" He saw the bright sun shining on him . He was desperately trying to calm his emotions .
"Kid…" However, a large hand immediately covered his field of vision . It seemed as if it was blotting out the heavens and the earth as it clamped down onto his head .
Amid splashes in the water, Lu Sheng lifted Solomon up and held him at eye level .
