Slowly exhaling a breath of white air, Rody looked up at the old yellowish shop in front of him, covered his right arm with his hand, and walked in slowly.
The shop was dark and dark, and there was a noodle bowl with only soup left on the counter. A pair of wet chopsticks were thrown aside, and the water stains on them left two water stains on the glass counter.
The wall clock on the wall was ticking, and the second hand would be scratched by some metal from time to time, making a clicking noise.
"I'm going to trouble you again this time, Madu." Rody said in a low voice.
His originally strong and tall body was now as thin as skin and bones. His beard had not been shaved for a long time, and his eye sockets were sunken, making him look very haggard.
A middle-aged man with bright eyes slowly stood up behind the counter. This man seemed to be even thinner than Roddy at this time.
"It doesn't matter...the same rules, the same prices. But you're going to die soon, right?" The man's voice was as sharp as a duck's.
"Yeah. Right away..." Rody nodded.
"It's been so many years... If you die too, then I won't have a few old friends left." The man said regretfully. "So, don't die."
Rody forced an ugly smile. "I...try my best..."
****************
One month later...
Gululu...
In a large pot, a large amount of extremely thick light green liquid was being boiled. Lu Sheng stood aside and stirred the heat with a wooden shovel.
"This is the last pot...that's enough for now..."
Since coming back, he immediately spent money to hire people to prepare large quantities of medicines, and bought all the medicinal materials available around him.
There are a total of one hundred and fifteen kinds of prescriptions on that list.
He brewed each one for at least 100 people, enough to last for fifty years, and the concentration was terrifyingly high.
Soon, as the pot became thicker and thicker, Lu Sheng's calculated time came.
A faint smell slowly began to float in the air.
"Okay." He threw away the shovel, picked up the cauldron, and drank without caring that it was still boiling.
Gulu gulu gulu...
Fortunately, no one was around, otherwise I would have been frightened to death when I saw this scene. People who just picked up the boiled ointment and poured it into their mouths are no longer human beings.
"Dark Blue!"
After drinking all of it, Lu Sheng's belly was already bulging in a big circle.
He immediately called up the modifier and focused his eyes on the box.
"Improve Jelello's sword skills!"
hiss....
The box suddenly blurred.
The skin all over Lu Sheng's body quickly turned red and swollen, and his body size, which was only about 1.8 meters tall, slowly began to grow larger and taller.
This is the enlargement that will naturally occur after the body is strengthened to a certain extent.
Bones are strengthened, becoming thicker and harder, muscles are larger and tougher, stronger, and faster, all of which require a large amount of energy.
Without a special method of compressing energy, it is natural for the physical body to expand and become larger to accommodate more muscles.
After a few seconds, the box became clear again.
‘Jelello Sword Skills: Master (Characteristics: perfect sword skills, strength increased by 103 levels, physique increased by 103 levels, speed increased by 103 levels.)’
"It's improved by one level, it's not bad." Lu Sheng nodded slightly. "It's just that it's still too slow after all..." He frowned.
"And I can also find out some physical training techniques that are common in this world from what I have learned before. It only takes a little to increase the spiritual power, so the backup should be enough."
He put down the cauldron, turned around, walked out of the kitchen, and entered the warehouse.
In the warehouse, rows of iron shelves are filled with various pharmaceutical jars. Each jar contains the equivalent of high-concentration pharmaceuticals that hundreds of people have used for fifty years. They are basically pastes that are almost solid.
.
"My body is now strong enough to withstand the stimulation of poisons. So, what if I mix different poisons together?" Lu Sheng suddenly thought.
Anyway, he has Deep Blue. No matter what kind of poison he has, he can immediately deduce the training method of the poison by consuming his spiritual power and directly convert the poisonous power into strengthening.
"But before that, we have to deduce the cathode state. Otherwise, if it strengthens into some weird form, it will be bad for Roddy to regard it as a monster..." Lu Sheng still remembered that he appeared when he was practicing hard skills.
The situation made my face twitch.
He picked up a jar of ointment, opened it and poured it into his mouth. Then while eating, he went back to the bedroom and prepared to rest.
"Young...Young Master...We have guests here..." Suddenly, a trembling voice came from outside the courtyard door. It was a servant in the manor.
Ever since the last time Lu Sheng accidentally crushed a servant who cut corners on a medicine-buying job, no one dared to talk to him head-on.
This kind of thing is common here near the border, the law is too far away from here and no one will obey the law here.
After Lu Sheng pinched to death the family members of the person who came to his door trying to extort money, no one dared to mention this matter in front of him.
"Is there someone? Who are you looking for? Looking for me?" Lu Sheng asked in a deep voice.
"Yes..." the servant replied with a trembling voice.
"Well...let him wait a moment." Lu Sheng turned around and went to the closet, ready to find something to wear.
............
Beside the manor mill, on the slightly arched stone bridge, a man in black, wrapped in a cloak, was standing in front of the courtyard gate, waiting quietly.
Under the cloak is a cold face that looks completely bloodless.
His name was Solomon, and he made a special trip to convey his father's instructions to Luo Di's son, Rosang.
He and Rody have been friends for many years, close friends in life and death. At this time, Rody and others have already gone to that place to welcome the arrival of death.
But he was entrusted to come here and use fabricated lies to trick Luo Sang into staying away from here and go to another place to inherit a so-called huge windfall...
"It's meaningless." Solomon murmured in a low voice. He had seen Luosang, that little kid who was so cowardly that he didn't even dare to look up at him.
While waiting for the door to open, he decided not to follow his friend's instructions. Instead, he decided to tell Luo Sang the truth.
It's up to him to decide what to do.
"This is a fair choice." Solomon sighed.
Squeak.
The gate is opened, and this yard in the manor is the only place dedicated to practicing swordsmanship.
As soon as he opened the door, Solomon was choked by the thick smoke pouring out of the door, and his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Is Luo Sang here?" His expression did not change, and he still stood upright.
"Who are you?" A clear-sounding voice came from the thick smoke.
"I am Solomon, and I have come here to tell you some sad news." Solomon was not good at words, so he decided to go straight to the point.
"Your father is going to die."
"..."
There was an awkward silence.
"...Sorry, what did you just say? Say it again." The fog gradually dissipated, and Solomon could clearly see the figure standing behind the door.
He was a strong man who was a head taller than him. He could even run a horse with his arms raised. His chest was as hard as steel and rock, and his muscles were as jagged as a hill. He was standing at the gate, looking down at him.
Only then did Solomon realize that the thick mist just now was actually the breath sprayed from the mouth of the giant man in front of him...
Damn it.
His heart was pounding, and he felt like he was in the wrong place.
Taking a deep breath, he decided to repeat it again.
"I said...your father is dying."
After the words fell, Solomon saw the smile on the face of the giant man in front of him solidify.
boom!!!
In an instant, he felt as if he had seen God. His body soared into the clouds and flew back an unknown distance. The huge impact made his whole body feel like a machine that was about to fall apart.
My sternum was whining and my brain was tumbling. My stomach felt like it was being grabbed by a big hand and being pinched around.
Wow!!
He smashed into the river like a cannonball. He hit the bottom directly and then bounced back to the surface.
puff.
He couldn't help but vomited out a mouthful of blood, and lay on his back floating on the water.
"It's so good to be alive..." He saw the bright sunshine shining on his eyelids and tried hard to calm down.
"Child..." But immediately a big hand covered his entire field of vision, reaching down to grab his head.
Amidst the sound of rushing water.
Lu Sheng lifted Solomon up and placed him in the air opposite his face.
"You have to understand that there are some things you shouldn't say randomly."
"I..." Solomon still wanted to speak, but immediately another mouthful of blood came out. He felt like he was going to die. But he didn't die in that ghost place, but in the hands of such a strange giant man.
He felt a little baffled.
"Tell me, my father Roddy, how is he now? Who asked you to come? Don't let me see lies in your eyes, my patience is limited." Lu Sheng said in a gloomy tone.
Solomon was silent for a while. After feeling a little better, he took a breath and spoke slowly.
"Are you...Rosang? I am Solomon. I saw you when you were a child. I was asked by your father to convey an explanation to you."
"Are you sure?" Lu Sheng stared into his eyes.
"Sure."
"Didn't you lie to me?"
"Absolutely not!" Solomon felt that he was so wronged... He had always been known for his uprightness and bad breath, but at this moment, he had never felt as regretful about his bad breath and uprightness as he did right now.
"No one can lie to me, because everyone who has lied to me is already dead." Lu Sheng punched the ground.
boom!!!
The ground suddenly shook like an explosion, opening up a pit the size of a bathtub.
A large amount of mud splashed all over Solomon's face.
"Hehe...hehe...I can see it..." Solomon forced a smile.
............
Ten minutes later....
Lu Sheng and Solomon sat opposite each other.
On the wooden table between the two of them, there were some sumptuous meals, drinks and fruits.
"I wrongly blamed you. I hurt you regardless of the severity. I'm sorry." Lu Sheng solemnly bowed his head to Solomon and admitted his mistake.
"If hitting me and scolding me can make you feel better, you can do whatever you want." He said seriously. It has always been his virtue to correct his mistakes when he knows they are wrong. He is not the kind of person who is unrepentant. He just always follows his innermost feelings.
We must adhere to the standards of living, rather than abide by the standards and morals shared by the outside world.
"Uh..." Solomon didn't know what to say.
At this time, two servants on the side quickly lifted up several iron and wooden clubs with thick arms.
"It's okay, you're welcome." Lu Sheng picked up a steel pipe as thick as a child's arm, "Like this."
Bang!!
The steel pipe hit him hard on the forehead, bending it and creating an obvious dent in his head.
"Like this again."
Lu Sheng replaced it with a solid wood stick.
Bang!!
The wooden stick hit the side of his neck hard and broke into two pieces.
He put down the two things without changing his expression. Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at the wooden frame on the side.
"please."
"..."
Solomon looked at the steel pipe on the ground, and then at Lu Sheng's unscathed forehead and neck.
"Since it was a misunderstanding and I'm not dead, let's talk about your father first." He decided to forgive the erring child in front of him. After all, he hadn't seen him for many years and didn't recognize him for a while. Everyone has the right to make mistakes.
.
"I understand." Lu Sheng nodded.
Solomon's injury was actually not as serious as it appeared on the surface. It was just a few broken bones, so it was not fatal. Lu Sheng's grasp of strength was still very accurate.
Through Solomon, Lu Sheng was told everything about Luo Di.
Time passed slowly, and Lu Sheng's originally serious expression gradually gained a hint of solemnity and solemnity. However, he never said a word and just waited quietly for Solomon to finish everything.
After everything was said, the two fell into a brief silence.
About ten minutes later, Solomon slowly spoke again.
"So, what's your decision?"
"..." Lu Sheng did not reply immediately, but stood up. "How much time is left in the death realm?"
"According to the rules, there are still about ten days." Solomon replied.
"So, do you still remember the way there?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"This is the purpose of my coming here." Solomon suddenly laughed after hearing this. "But aren't you afraid of death?"
"Death?" Lu Sheng showed a weird smile, "It doesn't exist."
He moved his shoulders, and his whole body made a series of cracking sounds like firecrackers.
"Everything in this world is too fragile. I just need a few sandbags."
"You are very powerful." Solomon said sternly. "But those monsters are more powerful, and the most important thing is that they are immortal. Luosang, you have to be careful... There have been very powerful masters who have tried to fight against them, but unfortunately they have not been able to fight against them."
If everything fails, don't be careless."
"I'm different...you just need to take me there." Lu Sheng laughed.
*******************
Between the rolling hills, under the gloomy sky, light rain drifted away.
A dilapidated old town is lying quietly at the end of the hills. Both the ground and the houses in the town are covered with mottled gray and white spots.
From a distance, it looks like everything is made of white pebbles.
Click.
A bolt of lightning suddenly cut through the sky. It illuminated the entire town and highlighted the shadows in some corners more clearly.
Urus was dressed in military uniform, with medals and ribbons on his shoulders and chest that he was proud of.
Behind him were two teams of more than twenty elite special forces soldiers.
Farther away was a large area of scattered artillery battalions. He had brought five artillery battalions with him on this trip. Each battalion was equipped with five heavy artillery pieces, a total of twenty-five heavy artillery pieces. He did not believe that this strange little cannon could not be smashed. town!
"General, you will only increase casualties in vain. These soldiers are innocent." A man in a black cloak said helplessly.
"You and I are both people who are about to face death. We are going to die anyway, so why worry about this? Maybe it can be done? Just because the monster can't be killed, doesn't mean that this town can't be killed." A trace of a sinister smile appeared on Urus's face.
"What you are doing has not been tried before..." the cloaked man said in a low voice.
"I know, so I prepared a big one." Urus' face became even more distorted.
"You..." The cloaked man seemed to have thought of something, and then fell silent. He remembered the position held by the general's wife in front of him. Maybe... maybe that was also a try...
***************
Wow.
A large amount of ointment was poured into the bathtub.
Lu Sheng sat in the middle, wearing only a pair of shorts, and let the servants on both sides pour the ointment into the bucket.
Solomon has arranged for him to live in another courtyard in the manor not far away. There are still ten days left, and he needs to try his best to raise his physical body to the limit during these ten days.
It was too late to just swallow it, so he decided to soak in a bath and absorb many portions at once.
Wow.
Buckets of ointment were poured into the barrel. Soon, fifty barrels of ointment were poured in.
The ointment directly covered Lu Sheng's chin.
call...
"You all get out." He ordered.
"Yes." Several servants slowly exited the room and closed the door behind their backs.
When Lu Sheng saw that everyone had gone out, his head was completely submerged in the ointment.
A large amount of ointment was absorbed crazily into his body and penetrated through the pores of his skin. During these times, he had been able to mobilize a certain amount of body power, and now, it was time to use his body.
It's just a simple and small amount of application, and it's still fine if it doesn't exceed a large scope and intensity.
White smoke continued to emerge from his head. The ointment in the barrel was fading away rapidly, and gradually a transparent liquid seeped out from Lu Sheng's skin.
The Holy Lord's soul controls the body's refined absorption, and crazily consumes a large amount of medicinal properties.
"Dark blue."
The modifier interface reappears.
"Let's get started... In this way, it only takes a few times to absorb it." Lu Sheng slowly concentrated and held his breath. His eyes quickly focused on the box at the end. He first clicked the overall modification button, and then Sun Xu clicked it. Deduction button.
The dark blue interface suddenly became blurry.
............
Time passes day by day.
Solomon soon followed the agreement and came to the courtyard where Lu Sheng lived and asked him to prepare to set off together.
To his expectation, after not seeing him for seven days, Luo Sang looked even thinner than before.
The whole yard was filled with the smell of medicine, choking him so much that he could hardly breathe.
Luo Sang was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. He looked like his body had shrunk a lot and he looked more like a normal person. He packed some simple things in his hands and traveled lightly.
"Let's go and see Father and the others."
Solomon looked at Lu Sheng up and down in surprise.
"Are you... okay?"
"It's okay. Don't worry." Lu Sheng grinned. "The only thing I'm worried about now is whether I can catch up in three days."
"Two days is enough. That place... we can take a shortcut." Solomon said calmly, "Have you ever taken a train? That's a good thing."
