As far as Lu Wuchen knew, the vast majority of 9th grade pills that existed today had been passed down from ancient times.
That was because there were almost no 9th grade alchemists left in the present age.
An 8th grade alchemist was already the limit of those fools on the Piao Miao Continent.
[Tyrant Demon Body Tempering Pill: 9th grade pill. After consumption, it can strengthen the user’s physical body, allowing their Instrument of Crime to possess the power to split mountains and churn seas.]
[Note: Due to its excessively tyrannical medicinal effects, there is a chance of the user’s body exploding and causing death after consumption. Please choose the appropriate circumstances and consume with caution.]
“What does this mean? The pill the system gave me can actually kill people?”
Looking at the description of the Tyrant Demon Body Tempering Pill, Lu Wuchen was completely confused.
It sounded incredibly powerful, but that final sentence left him utterly baffled.
Ah, whatever. No matter what, it’s still a 9th grade pill. I’ll keep it for now. It might come in handy at a critical moment in the future.
The sleeping beauty beside him seemed to be having a pleasant dream. A faint smile unconsciously appeared on her face.
She looked like someone who had eaten her fill at night and was now lying happily on a bed in complete satisfaction.
The sight was very pleasing to Lu Wuchen’s eyes.
Practice had proven that Teacher Xiao Bu’s words were absolutely correct. If your combat level wasn’t high enough, you had to train it yourself.
For example, Qingxue beside him had gone from a complete beginner to possessing knowledge as towering as a two-story building.
As her teacher, he deserved much of the credit.
It seemed necessary for him to pass all the knowledge in his mind on to her.
After all, the ultimate beneficiary would be himself.
…
“Wuchen Junior Brother is really something. He’s been back for so long, yet he hasn’t come to see me even once.”
Liu Ruoxi kicked a stone by the roadside. Her fair and beautiful face was filled with dissatisfaction.
Ever since Lu Wuchen had helped remove the poison from her body, she had become increasingly addicted to that feeling of leveling up rapidly.
During the past few days of cultivation after returning, she discovered that her cultivation progress had become painfully slow.
Not only did the progress bar increase at a snail’s pace, but the process was also unbearably dull.
She desperately wanted to experience the joy of leveling up again.
In the end, unable to resist the temptation any longer, Liu Ruoxi came to Lu Wuchen’s Lu Family Courtyard.
Because of their relationship, there was no need to knock. She directly controlled her flying sword and descended vertically from the sky.
The moment she entered the courtyard, she saw a beautiful mature woman wearing a purple body-hugging dress watering the flowers and plants with the water of life.
Su Qingxue was also startled by Liu Ruoxi’s sudden appearance.
However, after recognizing who had arrived, she finally relaxed.
“So it’s Miss Liu.”
Su Qingxue greeted her first.
The other woman was the young master’s senior sister, and she had visited him several times before, so Su Qingxue naturally recognized her.
More importantly, Miss Liu was so beautiful. As the young master’s maid, how could she not pay a little extra attention?
“Mhm, I came to see Junior Brother Wuchen. Is he here?”
Looking at the mature beauty standing before her, Liu Ruoxi smiled slightly. Enjoying the story? Read on at g.com.
Naturally, she knew about Su Qingxue. She was the maid Lu Wuchen had hired to handle household matters.
Still, Lu Wuchen really was something. She was only a maid. Did he really need to find one this attractive?
And why did she seem even more charming than before?
The feeling was like a bun soaked full of rich broth. It had become plumper and looked even more delicious.
“The young master was very tired yesterday and is still resting. Miss Liu, please wait a moment. I’ll go inform him right away.”
Su Qingxue spoke softly.
“Mhm.”
Watching Su Qingxue’s departing figure, Liu Ruoxi felt somewhat puzzled.
Tired?
How tired could he possibly be?
At first, she didn’t understand what Su Qingxue meant.
However, when she saw the alluring figure wrapped tightly within the purple dress, realization immediately dawned on her.
Good grief, he’s been hiding a beauty away.
No wonder he hadn’t come looking for her after being back for so long.
So he had already exhausted himself.
“Young Master, wake up. Miss Liu has come to see you.”
After entering the room, Su Qingxue gently nudged Lu Wuchen, who was resting with his eyes closed.
“Senior Sister came to see me?”
Hearing this, Lu Wuchen instantly opened his eyes.
He was curious why Ruoxi had come looking for him at this time.
Could it be because she was hungry?
Possible. Very possible.
“Young Master, Qingxue doesn’t mind.”
Su Qingxue suddenly said.
“Huh? Qingxue, what don’t you mind?”
Looking into her bright eyes, Lu Wuchen froze for a moment.
“Qingxue is only the young master’s maid. If the young master has other women, Qingxue can serve them as well.”
“As long as the young master doesn’t dislike me, Qingxue is willing to do anything.”
Su Qingxue looked at him pitifully.
The young master was so outstanding that he would certainly attract countless women.
Saintesses, demonesses, princesses, empresses, immortals, masters…
Compared to them, she was merely an older woman. She couldn’t compete at all.
“Haha, silly girl. What are you thinking about?”
Lu Wuchen affectionately rubbed Su Qingxue’s soft hair.
He had thought it was something serious.
So it was only this.
“Don’t worry. As long as your young master is still here, you’ll never be short of food.” Get faster updates on g.com.
“Mhm!”
Hearing the young master’s promise, Su Qingxue nodded happily.
…
“What are they doing? I only asked her to call someone. Why is it taking so long?”
In the courtyard, Liu Ruoxi couldn’t help feeling puzzled when Su Qingxue disappeared inside for quite some time without any movement.
Could it be that her junior brother had dug a tunnel inside the house, making him this difficult to find?
Only when she saw two figures emerge did she give up the idea of going into whatever tunnel he might have dug.
“Ruoxi.”
Looking at Liu Ruoxi in her white dress, Lu Wuchen’s eyes moved slightly.
He had indeed handled this matter rather poorly.
He had been back for quite a while and never activated his “on-call” skill.
She must have been waiting anxiously.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come personally.
“Hmph, so you still know how to come out. I thought you’d fallen into a hole and couldn’t climb back out.”
Liu Ruoxi rolled her eyes at him.
Seeing Liu Ruoxi’s reaction, Su Qingxue immediately knew her guess had been correct.
Miss Liu definitely had a special relationship with the young master.
Therefore, she quietly withdrew without disturbing them.
Once Su Qingxue left, Liu Ruoxi instantly appeared before Lu Wuchen.
“So that’s how it is. No wonder you haven’t come to see me for so long. You’ve been hiding a beauty away.”
“Tell me honestly. Did you give all your experience points to her?”
The thought of losing her precious experience points nearly made her cry.
“Haha, have you forgotten my capabilities, or have you become overconfident these past few days?”
Lu Wuchen smiled calmly.
How could he not hear the jealousy in her voice?
There wasn’t much of it, but there was certainly enough to flavor a dumpling.
“That’s true…”
Liu Ruoxi nodded.
Recalling the time when he had detoxified her, it had truly been earth-shaking and world-darkening.
No matter how much juice a peach contained, it couldn’t possibly take away the portion of experience points that belonged to her.
“Alright, Ruoxi. Since you’ve come looking for me, I assume it’s not just because of cultivation, right?”
Lu Wuchen guessed.
If she only wanted to cultivate, she would have come in the middle of the night rather than in broad daylight.
