Chapter 23
It took Lu Sheng a long time to recover from the exhaustion of his first practice session of the “Stellar Body Refining Technique.”
This was probably the most energy he had ever expended in a dream.
After barely regaining some strength, Lu Sheng commanded the brain interface again.
“Query the best blood and qi supplements for a first-level martial artist.”
“Searching…”
“Swish——”
A large amount of information appeared before Lu Sheng once more.
“Simulate conditions: Martial Arts for 300 years, feasible prescriptions.”
“Filtering…”
The information quickly diminished.
Soon, only a few pieces of content were left before Lu Sheng.
In addition to the recipe for each supplement, the information also listed the form, current name, and former name of each medicinal ingredient, saving Lu Sheng a lot of effort.
Lu Sheng memorized these recipes and then chose to wake up.
“How foul!”
As soon as Lu Sheng woke up, he smelled a strong stench.
He quickly got up and found that his entire body was covered in a layer of dark, oily grime.
The smell was emanating from this grime.
“It’s because of the ‘Stellar Body RefiningTechnique’ and the ‘Natural Breathing Technique.’ Although I only practiced in the dream, some of the effects still carried over to reality.”
t’s similar to how normal people, when dreaming of something sad, would cry in real life,
or when they dream of something terrifying, would tense up and twitch.
These are instinctive reactions caused by the brain stimulating the muscles.
Just this muscle instinct alone produced such exaggerated effects. Lu Sheng realized he had underestimated the combined power of the “Stellar Body Refining Technique” and the “Natural Breathing Technique.”
After understanding the reason, Lu Sheng quickly took a bath.
“My blood levels should have increased again, though I’m not sure by how much.”
With his hair still wet, Lu Sheng glanced at the clock on the wall and thought, “It’s about time to head to school.”
“Next time, at least give me a heads up.”
Zhong Zhenguo handed a bank card to Lu Sheng and reprimanded him with a hint of dissatisfaction.
“Understood, Teacher Zhong.”
Zhong Zhenguo wanted to say more but, seeing Lu Sheng’s calm face, he held back.
“Go ahead, but make sure to report to school at least once a week from now on.”
Zhong Zhenguo waved his hand helplessly.
“Yes Sir.”
Lu Sheng took the bank card, turned around, and left.
Watching Lu Sheng’s departing figure, Zhong Zhenguo had an indescribable feeling.
It was strange, hard to put into words.
If really were to describe it,
he used to be able to see through Lu Sheng, but now, he couldn’t at all.
And this change occurred in just one day.
Zhong Zhenguo shook his head.
If something can’t be figured out, just stop thinking about it.
“Finally, some money.”
Lu Sheng felt a sense of relief for the first time as he left Zhong Zhenguo’s office.
This money couldn’t be directly used to buy supplements; that would be a waste.
The best way to use it was to buy the materials and make them himself.
Lu Sheng had just gathered several supplement recipes from the Fireseed Resource Library, ready to be put to use.
Although these recipes were selected by the computer and could be made in his time, which ones were suitable for Lu Sheng required further screening.
This screening mainly depended on money.
Lu Sheng went to an internet cafe near the school to search online.
Who knows if Zhong Zhenguo would be infuriated if he saw his most valued student, after negotiating flexible school attendance, turn around and enter an internet cafe.
Skilled registration and logging in.
The internet cafe was filled with smoke. Lu Sheng found a random spot to sit down.
On either side of him, a few young men were playing games.
All about his age, with brightly colored hair and tattoos on their arms.
When they saw Lu Sheng sit down and start looking up information, they sneered but didn’t pay him much attention.
Lu Sheng ignored them and began searching for information on the medicinal materials in his head.
Mainly, he was checking the prices of these materials.
Then he calculated the cost of each recipe, looking for the best value for himself.
Soon, Lu Sheng identified two suitable supplements:
Agile Muscle and Blood boosting Soup and Bone development Pills.
Most of the ingredients for these two supplements could be bought on the market and were reasonably priced, within Lu Sheng’s budget.
Although the Bone development Pills had a better effect, one ingredient needed to be freshly picked and used within a few hours.
And that ingredient wasn’t available in Baihe City.
“So, Agile Muscle and Blood boosting Soup it is. It’s also simpler to make, suitable for a beginner like me.”
Lu Sheng made his decision.
Now, he only had one problem left to solve:
“Where should I brew the soup?”
