A light blue interface immediately appeared before Lu Sheng's eyes.
"Upgrade Gelailo Sword Skill."
"Pchht."
The interface instantly blurred.
Lu Sheng calmed his breathing. It was clear that the medicinal power in his body was boiling. His skin was burning, and his pores seemed to have many tiny thorns piercing into his organs from the surface.
These thorns were like tentacles. They gradually burrowed into his organs and into his heart. They only stopped when they were blocked by his curled up body.
'Hmm … This medicine … is interesting …' Lu Sheng raised his hand and looked at his arm.
Numerous tiny, densely-packed red spots of blood began to grow on the skin of his arm. His muscles bulged and twisted as if they were being twisted by a pair of large hands.
Lu Sheng watched helplessly as his arm gradually expanded from the thickness of a normal person. The medicinal power was divided into two parts. One part maintained the switch in his body, while the other rushed into his muscle cells to nourish and strengthen their structure.
Lu Sheng's spirit monitored all the changes in his body. He soon understood why Luo Di had said that there was a limit to the improvement of one's body by taking medicine.
'This medicine forcefully stimulates the body to become stronger, and it doesn't have much effect on the organs. While the body's strength and quality are enhanced, the organs aren't improved much. The energy supply can't keep up at all. In addition to the accumulation of medicinal toxins, the consumption is even greater. No wonder there's a limit … '
At this moment, the modifier interface appeared again.
Lu Sheng focused his gaze.
"Gelailo Sword Skill, Master. (Special traits, Sword Skill, Perfection. Strength increased by three levels. Constitution increased by three levels. Speed increased by three levels.) "
'There's still some medicinal power left, but it's not enough to improve further.' Lu Sheng carefully sensed the medicinal power in his body.
He stood up from the ground and moved his body. The outline of his body had clearly turned into that of a strong young man.
'My strength has indeed increased. Based on Luo Sang's strength as a normal person before this, it's equivalent to about two to three adults. My Constitution is equivalent to wearing thick leather armor. When my muscles bulge, I can withstand a small slash from a cold weapon. However, stabbing won't do. As for speed … '
Lu Sheng suddenly punched forward.
"Bam!"
A withered leaf that had fallen in front of him was smashed into pieces by his fist.
'It's about three times the limit of a normal adult.'
To be honest, Lu Sheng was not very satisfied with such a limit.
"Looks like I'll have to find a way …" After cleaning up the mess, Lu Sheng hurried back to the manor. He did not go anywhere else but to the places where Roddy usually worked.
Bedroom, study, and training field.
There wasn't much to see in the training ground, just some basic armors and weapons. In the bedroom, Lu Sheng rummaged for a while but didn't find what he was looking for. Then he went to the study again.
After a careful search, he quickly found a well-hidden secret compartment on the wall below the desk.
In the secret compartment was a letter and a bottle of dark red medicine.
Lu Sheng skimmed through the new content. It was written by Luo Di to Luo Sang. He clearly guessed that Luo Sang would find this place. He even mentioned a few special cities and places in the letter.
The main point of the letter was that if he died in an accident and Luo Sang found this hidden compartment for revenge, he should go to these few places to look for his friends. They would make the necessary arrangements.
Of course, in other words, if Luo Sang had no intention of revenge, he wouldn't be able to find this hidden compartment. Some of the contents of the letter were prepared for outsiders who weren't Luo Sang. This was to prevent others from getting the letter after Luo Sang gave up.
Lu Sheng skipped over the messy arrangements for his escape route. Instead, he took out the parts that were useful to him.
For example, the usage and dosage of the medicine, as well as the mixing method and proportion.
From the letter, he found out that the medicine he took earlier was called Black Thorn. It was the standard medicine passed down in the Gelailo Sword School for many years. Almost every member would use this medicine to increase their strength.
Lu Sheng was troubled about not being able to find a new medicine. Hence, he recorded this prescription carefully.
There was another item in the hidden compartment. It was the dark red medicine bottle.
Luo Di mentioned in the letter that this medicine bottle was Black Thorn Medicine of an extremely high concentration. Its concentration and toxicity were a hundred times stronger than the tablets. It was the mother liquid used to mix the tablets. Just a little bit of it would be enough to make a bottle.
'This saves me the trouble of mixing the medicine myself. However, I can use it here first. Then, I'll try mixing the medicine. Although there's a lot of medicine here, it might not be enough for me to strengthen myself. '
Lu Sheng calculated in his heart.
The key to limiting the members of the Gelailo Sword School from improving themselves was that the internal organs of the human body could not withstand the toxicity of the medicine that accumulated over time. Even the inherited training method would only be of partial use.
However, for Lu Sheng, he could completely solve the problem of the residual toxicity of the medicine through deriving the training method.
'The training method is a process. I'll train continuously until I reach my goal. As long as I reach my goal, I'll be able to eliminate the toxicity completely.' Lu Sheng reviewed his skills in his heart as he twisted open the medicine bottle. He looked inside and saw that it was filled with a viscous liquid that resembled blood. A pungent smell that was like disinfectant wafted out. He could not help but squint his eyes.
'Rather than saying that the training method is a method, it's better to say that the training method for every stage is a cultivation method.
As long as I cultivate this cultivation method, I'll be able to completely eliminate the poison.
After all, the training method for every stage is completely different.
An ordinary person would need at least a year's worth of hard work to cultivate the training method once and completely eliminate the poison. In fact, more than 90% of people can't even complete the grandmaster-level training method. They can only reach 50% to 60%.
However, with my Mental Energy, I can greatly shorten the training method and completely complete it. '
Lu Sheng raised his head and took a sip of the medicine.
It smelled terrible, but when combined, it tasted pretty good. It was like strawberry-flavored mint water. A cold sensation slowly flowed from his throat into his stomach.
The medicine's efficacy was several times stronger than before. It surged continuously in Lu Sheng's body.
"Deep Blue." He summoned the modifier again.
"Improve the Gelailo Sword School."
"Hiss …"
The interface instantly blurred.
From this moment onward, it was time to truly surpass his limits. For Lu Sheng, eliminating the poison of the medicine was the key. As for the strength of his internal organs, he had ways to improve them.
…
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.
Another day passed by quickly. The sky changed from the piercing sunlight of noon to the setting sun. A crescent moon rose into the sky.
Under the night sky, the manor was quiet and peaceful.
After the aunties in the courtyard finished their daily work, they went home to rest. The servants began cleaning and wiping the furniture.
The gardener trimmed the grapes and olives under the trellises.
"Splash."
A bucket of cold water drenched Lu Sheng from head to toe.
He put the wooden bucket down with a clang. He stood in the courtyard and shook his hair.
After more than two months of training, the current Luo Sang was completely different.
His muscles that were as strong as a lion's were slightly bulging. His slightly black hair was slightly long now. It stuck messily to his forehead.
Compared to the previous Luo Sang, the current Luo Sang's arm was as thick as his thigh.
His thick, black chest hair danced in the wind. He rubbed it and wet it with water.
'I'm almost done with the medicine.' Over the past two months, Lu Sheng had finished the high-density medicine that Luo Di had left behind.
Currently, his gaze fell on Deep Blue's interface.
'My tier hasn't changed … I've taken so many medicines.'
'Gelailo Sword Skills: Master. (Special traits. Sword Skills, perfected. Strength increased by 99 levels. Physique increased by 99 levels. Agility increased by 99 levels.)
'But my body has indeed been strengthened to its limit by this medicine. I wonder how strong I am compared to the elites in this world. 'Lu Sheng bent down and tossed the bucket into the well. Then, he kicked the roller.
"Bam."
"Splash, splash, splash."
The roller spun madly as if it had gone crazy. The bucket that he had just tossed into the well was pulled up again in the next second.
After catching the bucket, Lu Sheng poured it over his head again.
He had trained for a day on a hot day. It was nice to take a shower like this.
After a few buckets of water, Lu Sheng walked slowly to his bedroom, naked. He only used a towel to cover his lower body.
Waves of heat rolled in the room. Two servants were sweating profusely as they boiled a big bucket of boiling water.
The bucket was made of iron. The bottom of the bucket was burnt black. Thick white mist rose from the water inside.
"Alright. You may leave."
Lu Sheng ordered casually.
The two servants were men. They had the build of an ordinary adult. They were about 1.7 meters tall and had some muscles on their bodies.
However, compared to Lu Sheng, they were like children standing before an adult. They were extremely thin and weak.
"Yes, Young Master." The two of them felt as if they had just been pardoned. They quickly got up and left the bedroom.
Recently, they, the old people in the manor, had watched as Young Master Luo Sang trained madly from an ordinary young man who was even a little thin and weak to the huge and muscular man before them.
The young master's temper had also changed from cowardly to resolute and deep. He was dignified.
After the two servants left the room, Lu Sheng closed the windows and extinguished the fire. Then, he flipped over and jumped into the bucket of boiling water. He used the high temperature to wash his body comfortably.
He had been strengthened to the limit by using the Black Thorn medicine. The medicine was no longer of any use to him. His body had developed a resistance to it. He had to find new and better ways to strengthen himself.
'In other words, I should go out for a walk … Staying here won't be beneficial to my future development. The power systems of the other worlds require twice the effort for half the results. After trying it out, it's far less cost-effective than taking medicine. 'Looks like the mainstream in this world is taking medicine. 'Also, I should find some places that Luo Di mentioned in the letter. Perhaps I can find new medicine there. 'Lu Sheng thought as he washed himself.
After his bath, he walked out of the bath. His body was still burning hot. He did not need a towel at all. He just shook his body, and the high temperature quickly evaporated all the water.
After putting on his clothes, Lu Sheng changed into a white shirt with a bow tie, a pair of slim black trousers, and a pair of brown leather boots.
He combed his hair, and in an instant, he looked like a strong noble with a rather elegant demeanor.
