Lu Sheng's gaze quickly locked onto Ultimate Crimson Mantra.
The door to the room closed. Soon, only he and Jade Lotus were left in the room.
Little by little, the silver knife sliced off the charred, rotten flesh on Lu Sheng's body and placed it on a prepared silver plate.
"Brother Sheng!" a Lu Manor servant cried out in surprise upon seeing him.
Lu Sheng's clothes were unbuttoned, the veins on his neck bulging. His hand gripped the knife stuck in the ground, motionless.
"Brother Sheng, who hurt you?"
After visiting his family, Lu Sheng finally settled down. He did not return to his residence. Instead, he sent someone to fetch Qiao 'er back to New Lu Manor, while he stayed in the greenhouse.
'If that kind of terrifying regenerative ability belongs to a Noble Family or a high-level ghost or Anomaly … then I'll have to consider greatly enhancing my hard body skills. My priority is to preserve my life. If I can't kill him in one strike, then I'll have to engage in a prolonged battle of attrition. I must first have the capital to stand firm. '
'I remember that when Yin Qi extrapolates martial arts to the next level, the body doesn't consume Essence, Qi or Spirit. Moreover, extrapolation actually elevates my martial arts by one level. This means that I can use Yin Qi to replace consumption and directly upgrade my martial arts! 'Lu Sheng's eyes lit up as he suddenly thought of this.
'Ultimate Crimson Mantra: Level Five. Special Effect (s): Enhanced Fire Poison, Double Tremor, Enhanced Ignition.'
Ning San answered loudly.
The light blue frame appeared before his eyes.
Adults with children, women with veils, scholars, young ladies, fat, skinny, beautiful and ugly maidservants. Under the pale yellow light of the lantern, the scene seemed even more intense.
No matter what, continuing to improve himself was never a bad idea.
He lifted his head to look at Lu Sheng, who seemed to be in good spirits, and felt a chill run down his spine. To be able to sit here and let him treat his wounds despite his injuries … this was practically subverting all the medical knowledge he had learned.
"Here! Big Brother! "Ning San jogged out from the side. He had been waiting here all along, awaiting orders.
"Recuperate in peace? I'm afraid I can't … "Lu Sheng shook his head and said no more.
"Heh, an old enemy came knocking and threatened me with my family. I'm lucky I'm not dead." A vicious glint flashed in Lu Sheng's eyes.
"Forgive this old man for being blunt. External Head's injuries are mainly bleeding. As long as the bleeding is stopped, everything will be fine. This old man doesn't know what method External Head used to stop the bleeding, but it seems to be effective. The doctor hesitated for a moment. "These two large wounds should have been caused by someone forcefully inserting their palms into the internal organs …"
Lu Quanan stood at the main entrance, watching as the people hung up the signboard of the Lu Manor, his face clouded with worry. Third Wang Yanyu stood at the side, wiping her tears.
"Deep Blue!" He quickly summoned the Modifier.
The night was hazy and the moonlight was like a veil. The night market in Mountain-Edge City was bustling with activity. Barbecue stalls and food stalls of all sizes were set up near the city gates.
"Sheng, Wu Lu," Lu Lu, "Flame Shan," Ming Ming Sheng Shan "
"External Head, why is it so dangerous this time?" Jade Lotus asked solemnly.
"I've troubled you. It's a pity that I'm useless. I can't help you much … I've even become your burden." Lu Quanan sighed. Unable to hold back his tears, he hurriedly covered them with his hands.
His chest, abdomen, waist, shoulders, and arms were all covered in wounds. His entire body was covered in wounds.
"Thank you, Doctor." Lu Sheng nodded. Beside him, Jade Lotus carefully wiped the sweat off his forehead. Her movements were a little feminine.
This kind of recovery ability was almost equivalent to an immortal body.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the doctor's forehead was covered in sweat as he removed the knife from Lu Sheng's body.
Lying on the bed, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he felt.
These words sent a chill down Jade Lotus's spine. What kind of person could stab External Head Lu with their bare hands?
"The young master is here!"
Ever since External Head Lu had killed Vice Sect Master Gongsun in a head-on confrontation, he seemed to be on the verge of becoming the second most powerful expert in the sect.
He lay on the bed and took out the silver hairpin left behind by the lantern woman. At this moment, there was no longer any Yin Qi coming into the silver hairpin.
"Is it that …?" Jade Lotus lowered his voice.
"Thank you, thank you," Lu Sheng gestured for his subordinates to send him out.
"External Head Lu, your injuries …" Seeing the injuries on Lu Sheng, the doctor jumped in fright.
"… I've heard the old Sect Master mention it before," Jade Lotus nodded slowly. "Otherwise, given External Head Lu's strength, the only people in the vicinity of Mountain-Edge City who can injure you to this extent are top-notch experts like the old Sect Master."
Right now, Lu Sheng was the pillar of the Lu Family.
Lu Sheng rode straight for Mountain-Edge City.
"Szzz …"
"My strength was considered top-notch among ordinary people. But against these mysterious creatures, I'm still too weak," Lu Sheng returned to the greenhouse, washed up, and rested.
The speed was too fast. This problem was almost unsolvable. Lu Sheng thought for a long time but still had no clue. He could only give up for now.
"Not bad, you know how to protect her in secret," Lu Sheng nodded in satisfaction. "Pick a few people to report to Qiao 'er that she's safe. I'll make a trip to the East River Lodge you mentioned."
"Ning San!"
Lu Sheng recalled the lantern girl's freakish speed and Zhen Yi's sudden appearance behind him.
Lu Sheng slowed down. There were Crimson Whale Sect disciples guarding the city gates. He asked for directions to the East River Lodge and sped up after learning the route.
After explaining the situation, he left the room and closed the door. At the same time, he ordered the servants to send food up.
"This old man will take his leave now. External Head, rest early. Your injuries will heal quickly. "
"Brother Sheng is here!"
Everyone was overjoyed. Now that Lu Sheng was their pillar of support, it was clear how high his prestige in the Lu Family was.
"I'm glad I didn't let you down," he was relieved.
"Old Master Lu has already settled down in the East River Lodge area. He's bought a house there. It's a big enough territory. We've all arrived safely," Ning San replied quickly. "Your subordinate even went to guard him in secret. Duan Meng 'an and his men are protecting him in secret. "
"Cut the crap. I've stopped the bleeding. Hurry up and cut off the rotten flesh," Lu Sheng urged.
He had already lost a son. If the Eldest Young Master, Lu Sheng, was also gone, then the entire Lu Family would truly lose all hope.
Beside him, Jade Lotus stared at the doctor's hand intently. Such a vital part could not be easily dealt with by outsiders.
If this conjecture was true, it would mean that not only could Yin Qi be used to extrapolate martial arts, but it could also be used to raise one's martial arts realm.
"Yes, yes, yes …" the old doctor replied hurriedly. He took out a sharp knife and began cutting off Lu Sheng's chest and abdomen, as well as the poisoned rotten flesh around his waist.
In less than half an incense's time, Lu Sheng found the Lu Manor, where firecrackers were being set off.
Jade Lotus stood silently by the side, observing the doctor's actions.
Lu Sheng did not notice anything. Instead, it was Jade Lotus himself who sensed something amiss and quickly withdrew his hand.
"Aiyoh! What a serious injury! "One of the martial artists in the family immediately noticed the bandages on Lu Sheng's body.
After finishing his meal, he regulated his breathing for a while. Only then did he get up and leave.
Lu Sheng ordered his men to bring his horse over and mounted it. Yin-Yang Jade Crane Skill had been depleted by more than half. The remaining thirty percent was continuously seeping into his wounds, speeding up his recovery. Thus, his movements were no longer impeded.
"It's alright. When this matter settles down, our Lu Family will only get better and better," Lu Sheng consoled.
Jade Lotus helped Lu Sheng into the bungalow where he rested. Then, he quickly summoned the doctor from Mountain-Edge City's Crimson Whale Sect.
Lu Sheng glanced at him. "You know?"
Lu Sheng dismounted and tied the rope to a locust tree by the roadside. He waited until the firecrackers had been set off before striding over.
"Yes."
"It's alright. Uncle Zhao, I know what I'm doing. I can handle it," Lu Sheng smiled and patted Uncle Zhao's shoulder. Then, he walked up to Lu Quanan.
"How's the situation at home? Do you know? "Lu Sheng asked from atop his horse.
Lu Sheng was not the least bit worried. Although his hard body skill had been broken, his muscles were solid and his bones tough. Ultimate Crimson Qi circulated continuously in his body. Should the other party make any threatening moves, he would be able to stop the threat at once.
The two of them then talked for a while about the troublesome matters they had recently dealt with. It was Jade Lotus who reported them and Lu Sheng who listened.
'Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that I've only met small fries. If I were to meet someone from a Noble Family like Zhen Yi … 'Lu Sheng recalled what he had seen. Zhen Yi's head had almost been chopped into two, yet it had healed so quickly. Lu Sheng's heart sank.
Outside, the sky had already darkened.
Moreover, the reaction speed of a Spirit Focus expert was beyond the doctor's imagination. He could even react to the lantern ghost's teleportation, let alone this.
Uncle Zhao's expression froze. He took a few steps forward and examined it carefully.
"This is this old man's special Crimson Snake Powder. It can cure most Yin-attribute poisons. Take it orally and apply it externally. And this prescription, External Head, take it. Take it three times a day. Do not leave it overnight, "the doctor instructed before getting up to leave.
"Yes, Young Master!"
What kind of top-notch expert would have the ability to do this?
Lu Sheng ate a full three catties of braised rabbit meat, two deer legs, two catties of green vegetables and tofu, and a bucket of rice before he was satisfied and allowed the servants to leave.
Lu Quanan looked at the wounds on his body and knew that they had been inflicted by someone else. Tears welled up in his eyes.
"It's alright," Lu Sheng blocked his hand. "I'll handle Chen Xin's matter. I want to see him, dead or alive. Don't worry."
The crackling of firecrackers sent yellow and red shards flying everywhere. Children gathered around to watch the commotion.
"How do we deal with this speed?"
"We'll have to take extra precautions. They've already found their way to my doorstep. I'll have to trouble you with the forbidden grounds. Arrange for our brothers to guard the place. No one is allowed to enter or leave for ten days. Any problems? "Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
"No problem. External Head, just focus on recuperating. I'll take care of the miscellaneous matters, "Jade Lotus nodded.
"From all the ghosts I've encountered, no matter how powerful or bizarre they are, they'll have to deal a physical blow in order to harm a person. Some rely on poison, some rely on weapons and claws. Their strength is similar to that of a Spirit Focus expert, but they're all extremely fast."
The past few battles had clearly made him feel that his strength was insufficient.
He began to think.
"Father, is everyone alright?"
Lu Quanan reached out to touch Lu Sheng's wound.
"Mm! Definitely. "
Two local officials of Mountain-Edge City were chatting casually with Lu Quanan at the side.
