Chapter 74: Perfect Paste

Lu Zhen made numerous hand signs as green light occasionally appeared in his hand, which then travelled through the cauldron.

"It's time," Lu Zhen thought as he carefully extinguished the fire while ensuring the herbs didn't get burnt up.

"Let's see now," Lu Zhen said as he rubbed his hands together and removed the lid from the cauldron.

The moment he did, a woody scent filled the room, carrying a sense of pureness with it.

Taking in the scent, Lu Zhen felt even more excited as he examined the final product. Thin green powders remained in the cauldron.

Lu Zhen carefully collected the powder in a bowl.

His eyes turned golden as he looked at it.

[Verdant body-refining paste]

[Grade: qi item]

[Remarks- the perfect version of the paste which has almost double the effect of normal paste.]

"Not bad." Lu zhen thought satisfied with himself.

"The perfect grade is new, does it only appear when I can make the perfect grade?" Lu zhen thought to himself as he looked at the rows of bowls which all contained the paste.

Lu Zhen examined the paste with his golden eyes.

[Common healing paste]

[Grade: Half Qi item]

[Remarks: The paste used for healing and the easiest to make.]

[Qi gathering paste]

[Grade: Half Qi item]

[Remarks: The paste that helps the practitioner gather more attributeless Qi.

Note: The martial artist still has to convert it to their attribute.]

Seeing the results of the hard work Lu Zhen put into making these piles of paste, he couldn't help but feel content with his achievement.

"Let's wait until I finish eating before we go, Elder," Lu Zhen suggested.

"But..." Elder Yao began to say something, but Lu Zhen interrupted him.

"It's the meat of a third-stage martial beast." When Elder Yao heard this, a drool formed on his face as he swallowed his saliva.

"This... alright, young master," the elder agreed, clearly swayed by his hunger.

"I heard that the Patriarch's wife spoils her son too much, and it seems to be true," Elder Yao thought to himself as he followed Lu Zhen, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.

As they entered the dining room, the fresh aroma wafted into Lu Zhen's nose, and he laid his eyes on the tenderly cooked meat with a hungry expression.

"Let's eat, Elder," Lu Zhen said, then headed straight to the table and began eating without any semblance of manners.

"This Lu Zhen is really ill-mannered," Elder Yao thought to himself as he watched Lu Zhen devour the meat.

"Let me see how much he can eat," the elder decided to wait, believing that Lu Zhen could not finish all the meat, which was at least 50 kg.

As even if he couldn't devour that much with the pure nutrients in the meat he would most likely be sick for days as he couldn't digest it.

However, much to his despair, he could only watch with wide eyes as Lu Zhen continued to eat the meat like a bottomless pit, without showing any signs of slowing down.

"This... let me have some," the elder hastily joined Lu Zhen at the table to share in the meal, as the meat was disappearing faster than ever.

After all, the elder had only eaten the meat of a third-stage beast once in his lifetime.

*Burp!*

With a satisfied sound, Lu Zhen patted his non-existent inflated belly.

"Have you had your fill, Elder?" Lu Zhen asked, patting his belly.

Feeling his unsatisfied stomach, the elder felt a tinge of regret as he realized the sheer amount of food he had consumed.

"The rumours were true," the elder thought with a bitter sigh.

"Alright, let's go," the elder said, leaving with a regretful expression.

As the two made their way to the hall, Lu Zhen could see a crowd of people gathered there in the distance, thanks to his superhuman sight.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhen wondered, a curious expression on his face.
