CH 96

Lu Sheng looked at the computer in front of him.

Lu Hai had bought this computer for Lu Sheng’s tenth birthday. He had been using it until now. The spec was very old, and it ran very slowly.

Lu Sheng had used the Photon Mind technology of the next ten thousand years in the dream world, and now he had to use this thing.

It was as uncomfortable as driving a tractor for someone who was used to driving a sports car.

Fortunately, what he had to do was not complicated. He just had to log in to receive the email from Dong Qingxue and go online to check for information.

Because Lu Sheng had not taken the official Spiritual Master Assessment, he could not log in to the Star Web.

The Star Web was similar to the Martial Artist Home that Lu Sheng had logged in once after he became an official martial artist.

It was a small circle of spiritual masters. Almost all the needs of a spiritual master could be satisfied on the Star Web.

“I’ll find time to pass the Spiritual Master Assessment before the Qiming General Selection. I can’t trouble Dong Qingxue every time I need something. It’ll be easy to expose my secret …”

Lu Sheng silently made up his mind.

Lu Sheng clicked on the email sent by Dong Qingxue. It was a clean and simple form.

It listed the price of each spiritual master weapon material that Lu Sheng wanted to know about, as well as a detailed introduction.

Lu Sheng looked through it carefully.

The materials he had asked Dong Qingxue to check mainly came from two types of weapons.

One was the Unceasing Blade Wheel, and the other was the Silver Sky Shuttle.

The names of these two weapons also represented the corresponding spiritual power combat techniques.

These two weapons were the strongest techniques below Level 6 that Lu Sheng had found from the Fireseed Repository.

Although they were not included in the Fireseed Program, they were still recognized as the most powerful spiritual techniques in martial arts for more than ten thousand years.

Of course, there were more powerful weapons than these two, but Lu Sheng did not like other types of weapons.

They were like awls, needles, and silk … He felt that they were not masculine enough and were only used by female spiritual masters.

Lu Sheng quickly browsed through the information recorded in the form. At the same time, he quickly calculated the cost of forging these two weapons in his mind.

Five minutes later, Lu Sheng looked disappointed.

“It’s too expensive. I can’t afford it …”

Lu Sheng finally understood why Dong Qingxue had told him not to think it was too little when she had placed the five million yuan reward in front of him. It was mainly because of her sincerity.

Lu Sheng had initially thought that Dong Qingxue and Qin Shaojun had come from extraordinary families and had set their sights too high. That was why they thought five million yuan was too little.

Now he knew.

It turned out that five million yuan was really too little.

“Just the main material used to forge the Unceasing Blade Wheel and the shuttle, which is the most expensive, requires nine thousand yuan per gram. That’s close to ten thousand. A blade wheel should weigh at least 1 catty (0.5 kg or 1.1 lbs). I’ve already lost more than five million yuan. That’s not including the other supplementary materials. I can’t even forge one blade wheel.”

“And, moreover, the quality of my spiritual power far surpasses that of my peers. Ordinary dense iron blade wheels might feel too light to use, so it’s best to have them made of higher-quality dense silver. But that would make the cost even higher. The price of dense silver with an equivalent quality is ten times that of dense iron! It’s truly too exaggerated…”

After some calculations, Lu Sheng realized that he could not even afford to forge a single spiritual weapon, let alone a set of spiritual weapons.

“There’s no other way. If I don’t have the money, I’ll have to dig the materials out in the wilderness by myself.”

Lu Sheng frowned and muttered to himself, “It’s not realistic to dig out all of them. It’s best to dig a part and buy a part. After gathering all the materials, I’ll commission a blacksmith to forge them.”

Previously, Lu Sheng had found a strategic material resource distribution map for 300 years of martial arts in the Fireseed Repository. It was coming in handy now.

“It’s best to find dense iron or dense silver. Once the main material are ready, the other supplementary materials will be easy to procure. Moreover, if I find enough iron or silver, I can sell them for money. It’s killing two birds with one stone.”

Lu Sheng sorted out his thoughts and heaved a sigh of relief.

At this moment, his sister Lu Qinghe’s voice came from outside the door.

“Coming.”

Lu Sheng replied casually and got up to walk out of the door.

…

A week later.

At the door of the blending room in the Xingshan Tang. He Ling Su stood at the door, waiting anxiously, looking at her watch from time to time.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, the door of the blending room opened with a creak. He Ling Su immediately perked up and even straightened her back subconsciously.

Lu Sheng’s figure appeared at the door.

Lu Sheng, dressed in a snow-white pharmacist’s robe, stood tall and straight. His face was calm, and his increasingly handsome features set off by the pharmacist’s robe gave off a calm, rigorous, and charming temperament.

Although she knew that Lu Sheng was five years younger than her, He Ling Su was still in a trance and had a feeling of palpitating with excitement.

“Done?” He Ling Su came back to her senses and quickly spoke to hide her slightly warm cheeks.

“Yes.”

Lu Sheng nodded and took off his gloves and pharmacist’s robe.

“How much did this batch of materials cost?”

“About two hundred thousand.” He Ling Su replied.

Lu Sheng said lightly, “Record it first and deduct it from the profits later on.”

“Yes.” He Ling Su habitually responded in a docile tone. But she felt helpless in her heart.

The sales of the new medicine hadn’t started yet, and the profit had yet to be seen. In this week, she had already spent nearly a million on the advance payment for Lu Sheng.

If it weren’t for the other party’s aura being too strong, which made her unable to even dare to say no, let alone resist. Moreover, she had successfully used the prescription to make the perfect Spirit Muscle Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction. Otherwise, she would have rebelled long ago.

Lu Sheng seemed to have seen through He Ling Su’s emotions and casually comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’ll be going out in two days. If it goes well, the start-up funds for the Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction should be available. When the time comes, I’ll transfer them to you …”

“Oh.”

He Ling Su nodded obediently and didn’t ask why Lu Sheng was going out.

“Then I’ll head out first.” Lu Sheng bid her goodbye and quickly left.

He Ling Su didn’t wait for Lu Sheng’s figure to completely disappear. She took a deep breath and quickly rushed into the blending room.

There was a faint medicinal aroma in the room.

He Ling Su’s eyes scanned the room like a radar. Soon, she locked onto a small bottle that had been used and hadn’t been cleaned.

He Ling Su almost jumped at the bottle with the medicinal residue. Some black powder was obviously left at the bottom of the completely transparent small vial.

He Ling Su held up the vial as if she had found a treasure and carefully took out the black powder.

Then she started a series of skilful operations.

Analysis of medicinal properties, analysis of efficacy, pharmacological analysis … After half an hour, the results came out.

He Ling Su raised her head in front of the instrument and said to herself with a complicated expression, “Sure enough, it’s that mysterious medicine. He has been making this medicine, this week.”

This mysterious medicine with black powder was the second treasure that He Ling Su found on Lu Sheng.

And it was a huge treasure that far surpassed Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction

After analysing the efficacy, He Ling Su found that the effect of this black powder medicine was several times stronger than Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Decoction.

It had a lot less side effects, but was highly potent.

Bone tempering!
