Logging 10,000 Years into the Future

Chapter 27: Master

Chapter 27: Master

Hoo-hoo-

The small room almost transformed into a steamer.

If someone stepped into the room, they would think they were in a sauna.

It is obvious that Lu Sheng is the source of all this steam.

The whole person seems to be a boiled kettle because of the thick heat coming out of his body

In the haze of the vapor, one could see Lu Sheng’s muscles shaking slowly and rhythmically.

He became fuller along with each breath.

The explosive power packed beneath the skin could be felt even by the naked eye.

Very quickly, Lu Sheng was done with the final exercise.

But he did not open his eyes, but sat in place.

His chest rose and fell, and a large amount of white steam was breathed from his nose and exhaled from his mouth. It swam around the room like a spiritual snake.

He did not know how long this lasted, but when the vapor in the room gradually dissipated, Lu Sheng slowly opened his eyes.

“This Stellar Body Refining Technique is truly worthy of being the most powerful Body Refining Technique 10,000 into the future; the latent potential it can unearth from a body is simply unimaginable. At this rate, a star might really germinate in my body …

"The Natural Breathing Technique also seems to possess an extremely strong recovery ability, without the cooperation of this breathing technique, the effect of the body refining technique would not be so good."

Lu Sheng fiercely clenched his fist, feeling the explosive power coursing through his fingers and palms. His face revealed a look of pure delight.

“My BQV was enhanced yet again. Spiritual Muscle and Blood Strengthening Soup is very effective. With my current physique, it's enough if I consume two portions a day. I can’t seem to digest more than that at the moment.

Then according to this, If I do the math, then my current stock will last me six days, and I’ll find more ways to procure them after that.”

Ding-ring–ring~ Ding-ring-ring~

The phone rang suddenly.

Lu Sheng picked up the phone.

— Yes.

— When? A week from now.

Lu Sheng hung up the phone without waiting for the other side to speak.

The person who called him was the young man from Xingshan Tang who had secretly rented him the mixing room.

The other party said something about the mistress of Xingshan Tang wanting to see him now.

Lu Sheng assented to the request, but the time had to be next time he came to utilize the mixing room.

"It's time to concentrate on cultivation."

Lu Sheng did not forget the burden he was carrying on his shoulders.

…

"Well? What did the other party say?"

He Ling Su stared at Ma Fei with an expectant face.

"Hey, give me the phone, I'll talk to him myself!"

He Ling Su directly grabbed Ma Fei's cell phone, but before she could answer it, she heard Ma Fei's helpless voice.

"He hung up."

"Then call him back."

He Ling Su was not deterred and dialed again, but soon she heard "The user you have dialed is switched off" prompt from the phone.

"Ahhh, this is urgent!"

He Ling Su vented on Ma Fei's phone and punched it twice, which made Ma Fei's face hurt.

Miss, that is my phone ah … why not smash your own …

"Miss He, in fact, he has promised to meet with us …"

"What?!"

He Ling Su's beautiful eyes lit up, "Really? What did he say?"

"He said he’ll meet, but we have to wait for a week."

"A week?"

The surprise on He Ling Su's face quickly faded.

"A week is too long, there are too many variables, no-”

He Ling Su shook her head.

She had just experienced being shortchanged, that to within a span of half-a-day.

A week?

Flowers would’ve already wilted by then.

“Miss He, it’s not a matter of whether we take the initiative or not, but whether the other party is willing. Everything lies on his hands …” Ma Fei patiently explained to He Ling Su.

"Of course I know." He Ling Su said coldly. "It's just that I can't afford to wait for a week."

He Ling Su ordered Ma Fei: "From now on, you are responsible for helping me find that master, the sooner, the better. The sooner you complete the task, I’ll reward you with you with 5,000 … no, 10,000 yuan for everyday you manage to save!"

"Really?!"

Hearing that there was a reward, Ma Fei immediately perked up.

"Miss He, you have to keep your word"

"When have I ever not kept my word …"

He Ling Su was overcome with impatience, and was both excited and nervous. She was both eager and terrified. It was difficult to describe her current mood.

Ma Fei was thinking about the amount he would get as a reward when he suddenly remembered and said something worriedly, “Miss He, I think you're mistaken about something? The person who asked me to lend him the mixing room was only a teenager, perhaps a high schooler. Could he really be a that master pharmacist as you said he was?”

"A student? …"

He Ling Su frowned slightly and whispered to herself, "Then perhaps, there is a master pharmacist behind him …?"

"Oh."

Ma Fei nodded his head in understanding.

…

"Scholarship?!"

At the dining table, Lu Hai, Zheng Yufen and Lu Qinghe looked at Lu Sheng with wide eyes, as if they were listening to a story.

"You mean to say that you bought this thing for me with your scholarship? "

Lu Hai asked again in disbelief as he held a white, flashlight-like instrument.

"It's a blood moxibustion device."

Lu Sheng corrected, then took out another two thousand yuan and put it on the table, "There's still two thousand left, I’ll hand it to mom to cover for our food expenses."

"There's still some left?!"

Lu Hai's eyes widened, wondering if his eyes were failing him or his ears were mishearing.

Zheng Yufen was overjoyed, with the notes stuffed in her hands, and hugged Lu Sheng.

"My son got a scholarship! How impressive …"

Next to him, Lu Qinghe couldn't help but mutter, “What scholarship hands out so much money? What kind of scholarship can you even get …”

"Study Progress Award. My BQV has risen very quickly during this period of time, so I was evaluated for it."

Lu Sheng did not even blink when he told the lie.

Lu Qinghe obviously did not believe it and wanted to say more, but after meeting Lu Sheng's eyes, she closed her mouth again.

Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen obviously believed it.

The main thing was that recently Lu Sheng had changed a lot, especially the appetite part.

With these recent changes, plus how their son won a scholarship, they did not see a reason to doubt their son.

“You should’ve used this money to buy more tonic. Instead, you bought his blood whatnot device. Such a waste of money …”

“Oh, this is my son’s first scholarship. What is wrong with him buying a gift for you? Besides, you have been crying about your back pain a lot lately. It’s a good idea to use it. I saw on TV that this stuff is very effective …”

"How good could it be …"

Though Lu Hai said that it was wasteful, but in fact, he was elated on the inside. And before he even finished his meal, he took the gadget to the sofa and started to fiddle with it.

Mother Zheng Yufen also smiled brightly and counted the 2000 yuan like it was a treasure over and over again. Nattering about how she would save it for Lu Sheng so that he could use it for college later. Lu Sheng saw all this and felt incomparably serene and happy. He was so desperate to cultivate and get stronger and let his family live a better life.

His dad could be more relaxed, and his mother would not have to worry over money every single day. And also let Lu Qinghe …

Lu Sheng turned his head to look at Lu Qinghe.

Lu Qinghe was staring at him furtively, but when she noticed his eyes on her, she immediately turned her head to the side, pretending to be aloof and nonchalant.

Hmmn. Lu Qinghe will have to wait. I’ll think about it after she becomes a bit more sensible.
