Chapter 643: Stir Up (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
‘In the end, I still need a main cultivation thod...’ Feeling helpless, Lu Sheng left the room and sat down under a tree in the courtyard.
The cold evening breeze was slightly moist. It brought with it the water vapor from the little river nearby.
The water vapor was slightly aromatic. It might have co from a passing flower boat.
Lu Sheng took out so candied fruit and honey. He mixed the honey with so water which he drank as he ate the candied fruit. They tasted special.
Lu Sheng sat on the stone bench with his back against the stone table. He began organizing the possible pathways through which he would be able to obtain his main cultivation thod.
‘With the Red Moon Disciples, I can buy anything with money. That’s one way. However, anything I get from them can only be used as a reference. I’m certain that they’re full of loopholes. I can’t use them as my main cultivation thods.’ Lu Sheng had decided on this path for now.
‘The second way is by apprenticing myself to a tutor. I’ll be able to easily obtain a complete main cultivation thod. The difficult part is actually getting a tutor. However, if I manage to achieve this, having a teacher is the best option. The cultivation thods here are different from those on the Yellow Springs Planet. The main cultivation thods here are balanced, whereby the physical body and spirit are improved at the sa ti. On the other hand, in Great Yin, everyone’s only focused on cultivating the spirit. Nobody cared about anything else.’
In his heart, Lu Sheng knew that this was the proper path of the Heavenly Devil. After all, beyond the Weapon Grandmaster tier, he would have to constantly Arrive in small worlds, devour his other selves in the Other Worlds, and attain the state of returning everything to one.
In that case, his physical body would not be as useful as his spirit. Hence, it was only natural to make the cultivation of the spirit a priority.
However, this was different for the other systems.
Other matters aside, the system in Libra City was a complete ss. There were beings from various worlds and tribes there.
However, there were five main categories here.
They were Mortal, Spiritual, Army Raising, Confusion Realm, and Void Underworld. The Spiritual category consisted of the Vein level, Snake level, Weapon Master-tier, and others. Perhaps it was because this location was near stellar zones where Heavenly Devils were the majority, but the division of the systems here was heavily influenced by the systems used in the other stellar zones.
However, in this place, these categories were not used to classify cultivation bases into tiers. Instead, they were used as a thod of evaluation of combat strength.
The classification in Libra City was simple. The cultivators who were capable of fighting against Heavenly Devils of different tiers were grouped together.
‘I can’t even carry out derivations... Looks like I really have to find a main cultivation thod. However, I don’t think it’s possible for to obtain a Heavenly Devil’s main cultivation thod of the Weapon Grandmaster tier and above in a short amount of ti. The rarity of a cultivation thod of that tier is beyond imagination. By the ti I grinded and got my hands on the cultivation thod, the Yellow Springs Planet would have been done for.’
Lu Sheng sighed inwardly. Even in Libra City, only the middle- to high-ranking experts such as the elders and advisors to the various tribes could attain the Confusion Realm tier.
‘Libra City is an extrely accessible place. This is a city of comrce. Information flows freely here. If I complent this with Zhao Family’s force... I might just be able to accomplish my goal in the near future.’ Lu Sheng started to form a plan in his heart.
The crucial point of this plan was to obtain Zhao Shengying’s complete trust.
She was the key person of the entire Zhao Family. Her parents were great figures of the Confusion Realm tier. She was definitely a person whom he should invest in.
Lu Sheng cald himself down and inspected his Heart World again. As he expected, the world’s surface area had expanded again.
His Heart World expanded alongside the growth of his spirit.
It was now more than 30 kiloters in diater. This sphere-shaped dinsion was huge enough to contain a small town.
It had been the size of a residential area before this. Compared to before, its current size was much bigger. However, without any direct lighting, there were many spots in the Heart World which were still cold as ever. It was impossible for any natural cycle to take place here.
On the second day, Lu Sheng went to the Zhao Family early in the morning. He continued purging Zhao Luoying of the heavy planet pollutants.
After the standard procedure was carried out, Zhao Shengying, who had been feeling impatient from the wait, had soone go in and call Lu Sheng out imdiately.
Lu Sheng went to the adjacent courtyard, the sa one he’d gone to the last ti he visited. However, a wealthy-looking old lady with white hair was standing beside Zhao Shengying.
“Teacher Lu, co here.”
Lu Sheng barely entered the courtyard when he saw Zhao Shengying beckoning him to co over with a cold expression.
He maintained his current expression and quickly went over to her.
“Is there anything you need, lady cousin?”
There was at least a dozen of formidable elites with strength greater than the Spiritual category outside the courtyard. On Yellow Springs Planet, they were the equivalent of peak Weapon Master experts.
However, in the Zhao Family, they were only fit to be guards of the courtyard.
However, Lu Sheng had a thought. If he had enough Divine Weapons and Devil Blades, on top of a supply of a huge population to pick a person with suitable bloodline, Weapon Masters would not be a rare breed.
Even in the terrible conditions of Great Song and Great Yin, where the population was small, they managed to produce many Weapon Masters. It was only natural for the Zhao Family, which was so huge that it was in control of a number of Other Worlds and planets.
“Mister Lu, you’ve told lady cousin about the thods to improve her own charm. I wonder if you’ve spoken the truth?” the old woman spoke slowly.
When he got closer, a chill crept into Lu Sheng’s heart. This old woman was also a cultivator of the Army Raising tier. The aura which revolved around her could even pose a threat to him in his ordinary state.
‘As expected of the Zhao Family,’ he exclaid internally.
“Of course I have,” said Lu Sheng as he nodded with a smile. “By the way, I thought that this skill I have is useless. I didn’t expect the lady cousin to have a need for it.”
“She’s my Aunt i. When she heard about your thods, she grew curious and wanted to see for herself,” Zhao Shengying explained casually.
“Alright, that’s enough. First, tell , how will you go about raising my charm? What’s this I hear about increasing muscle mass? If I beco well-built, won’t I turn into one of those savages?” After she was duped by Lu Sheng the other day, she went back to her room and gave it so thought. She realized that there were so parts which did not make sense. Hence, she called Lu Sheng over to give her an explanation this ti.
Lu Sheng had been prepared for this. If he wanted to dupe and convince Zhao Shengying, he could not rely on his words alone. He would have to show so real skill.
“You might not know this, but this skill that I have isn’t sothing that remains unchanged. I can use it to design a health-maintenance thod to raise your charms, lady cousin.”
“Oh? A customized health-maintenance thod?” When he said this, Aunt i’s expression changed slightly.
Beside her, Zhao Shengying’s expression froze over as well. She fell silent.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Sheng was stunned. It seed as if he had touched on so taboo or secret.
The two of them were silent.
When Lu Sheng was starting to feel impatient, Zhao Shengying suddenly slamd her palms on the table.
“Bam!”
The dishes on the table jumped from the impact of her palms. Much of the broth spilled onto the table’s surface.
“What is there to be so secretive about!? Hasn’t this been thoroughly checked already? Since we’re satisfied with Teacher Lu, what are you hesitating for?” Zhao Shengying slamd her palms on the table again. She fixed her serious gaze on Lu Sheng.
“This won’t be any huge secret if it were any other clan. I won’t lie to you, everyone else is saying that I’m lazy and I don’t like to cultivate. Everyone’s talking about how the family has poured an ocean of resources into , yet I still can’t achieve a breakthrough. However, this is actually due to my special constitution.”
“Special constitution?” Lu Sheng said with surprise. “May I know, lady cousin, what domineering constitution is it that even the vast Zhao Family can’t handle it?”
“The head of the family has given the following remarks on Shengying’s constitution,” Aunt i replied to his question from the side of her own accord. “Fight against the heavens, the earth, and the firmants. Battle against wind, rain, and the universe. The summary of the comnt is that it’s a Fight Battle Victorious King Body!”
‘This na...’ The edge of Lu Sheng’s lips twitched. He did not know how he should describe it.
“My father told that my constitution is the so-called Leak-all True Lord,” Zhao Shengying spoke with a gloomy expression. “Regardless if it’s good or bad, poison or dicine, liquid or gas, anything that enters my body will simply leak out. The reason why it’s called the Fight Battle Victorious King Body is because my constitution will fight against anything. It fights against poison, dicine, vegetables, rice, and even a mouthful of soup. Nothing is allowed to remain within my body.”
“She’s right. This constitution is extrely domineering. If any ordinary person ended up with such a constitution, they would’ve starved to death in three days.” Aunt i sighed as well.
“Leak-all True Lord... Fight Battle Victorious King Body... I didn’t know that there’s such an intriguing constitution in the world...” Lu Sheng felt speechless as well.
“The most hateful thing about this constitution of mine is that the more beneficial a thing is for my body, the fiercer it’d fight against it!” Zhao Shengying said with contempt. “So now, I end up accomplishing nothing. I can’t cultivate anything. The most I could do was forcibly improve this body with precious treasures. I haven’t experienced any other improvents besides that!”
“I’ve truly learned sothing new today.” Although Lu Sheng was confident in his Tu Style Healing Art of rank-800, he felt slightly discouraged when he heard about such a domineering constitution.
“So, there’s no need to worry, Teacher Lu. It might not be your fault if your thod isn’t working. It’s my constitution that’s being difficult,” Zhao Shengying said with helplessness.
“We can’t say for sure...” Lu Sheng gave it so thought. “Living beings have the mind, Qi, and spirit. No matter how good your body is in leaking anything that’s inside, you still have those three things. If we worked from that angle...”
“Alas... In truth... It seems that Zhao Shengying does not have any mind, Qi or spirit. What she has is only the Leak-all True Lord’s physical body where all essence is rged into one,” Aunt i interrupted Lu Sheng helplessly from the side.
“She doesn’t even have any mind, Qi or spirit!?” Lu Sheng was genuinely stunned this ti. “If she can’t eat, then what does the lady cousin depend on to...”
“The only thing that I can eat are shadows of living beings.” Zhao Shengying’s expression returned to normal and she practically blurted this out.
“Eating shadows...” Lu Sheng’s eyes narrowed. “First, let examine your body.”
“How do you plan to do that?” asked Zhao Shengying, sounding slightly nervous.
“Since it leaks everything, I’ll try with my dical path’s inner Qi for now. We’ll see if I can find out the reason here.” Lu Sheng was genuinely intrigued this ti. He never knew that such a constitution existed in the world.
Besides, if he managed to settle Zhao Shengying’s problem with her constitution for her, it would be the equivalent of him doing her a huge favor.
Then, it would definitely be easy for him to have her help him in finding a main cultivation thod or to introduce him to a teacher.
“No! Shengying isn’t married yet. Even if you’re a doctor, it’s forbidden for you to let your inner Qi flow inside her!” Without waiting for Zhao Shengying to reply, Aunt i imdiately voiced her objection.
“How about this, let inspect her hands. That’s acceptable, right?” Lu Sheng suggested.
“...” Aunt i glanced at an unhappy-looking Zhao Shengying. “Very well. You’d better be careful. If anything goes wrong...”
“Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing.” Lu Sheng glanced around him. He made so ntal calculations regarding the ti he would need to deal with all the people around the courtyard.
With his Heart World, he would be able to pull inferior opponents into it in an instant. It would be an instant kill.
As for Aunt i, he should be able to take her down with three moves after his transformation...
Lu Sheng was confident that as long as his opponents were not at the Confusion Realm, there would not be any issue for him to defeat them.
He extended a hand, and asked, “Shall we begin now?”
“Wait. Let have a drink of water.” Zhao Shengying was slightly nervous. She grabbed the water bottle on the table and began gulping the water down.
“Hiss...”
Dozens of water columns sprouted out of her body.
Lu Sheng resisted the urge to laugh. Then, he looked at Zhao Shengying who extended her left hand toward him.
He reached out with his index finger and placed it gently on her wrist.
His spirit-prompting threads swiftly plunged into her wrist. They progressed along her ridians and blood vessels as they spread toward the other parts of her body.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes silently as he examined the condition of her body.
Before he knew it, several minutes had passed.
He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.
“Teacher... Lu... So... can you... treat it?” Zhao Shengying’s voice reached him in stutters. It sounded strange.
Her tone had changed into sothing that was slightly distorted.
Lu Sheng looked up at her.
Zhao Shengying sat on her seat with a face full of worry. She was looking toward him with a fixed gaze.
However, her eyeballs were now overgrown with countless densely packed at lumps. They appeared to be countless small eyeballs which were clumped together into two eyes, the largest he had ever seen on a person.
“Teacher Lu... You... must... help... ...” The skin over Zhao Shengying’s throat was bulging up. It appeared as if sothing long and slender was intending to erge.
At the sa ti, countless red at lumps quickly spread onto her arms. They were progressing along it toward Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng shot up to his feet and looked around him. Aunt i was nowhere to be seen. He was no longer in the manor. Instead, he found himself in a deserted and battered garden.
A deathly stillness hung over his surroundings. There were no guards or maidservants. There was only Zhao Shengying who sat in an upright position before him. She stared at him blankly as if she was staring at a dead man.
