Chapter 69: Third-stage Martial Artist
Since Lu Zhen was disrupted by the twins previously, he couldn't take the cultivation pill.
Lu Zhen suddenly thought of something as he closed his eyes and opened them again.
Lu Zhen's eyes turned bright gold as he started to lose his qi rapidly.
[Lingyin]
[Grade: Qi item]
[Remark: You can store things in it without losing their properties for a long time.]
"As expected of pills that can only be made by first-stage martial artists, even the box that is used to store them is a Qi-grade item." Lu Zhen has only seen this grade very few times; in fact, he has only seen it one time when he got pearl, and this helped Lu Zhen increase his qi so significantly that he directly reached the middle stage as a martial trainee.
"I should fight for more resources in the family." Although Lu Zhen was the young master of the family, that doesn't mean he has solidified his position yet. Due to the incompetence of his previous host, even with the power of her mother, he hadn't been able to properly solidify his power, and he wasn't interested in it either way because he had completely given up on martial arts.
Even if he wanted to solidify his position previously, what can he do? He was just a normal person with a little stronger body gained from all the countless resources spent on him.
Though everyone acknowledged him as the young master, it was inevitably to leave a sense of incompetence in the hearts of others.
Although the servants and Lu Zhi and Lu Qing, who had lower status, still respected him, the direct descendant still had a sense of injustice in them, so Lu Zhen couldn't procure as much resource as he wanted to.
Lu Zhen just sighed as he slowly opened the box.
The moment he opened the lid of the box a pungent, repulsive, and unpleasant smell wafted in the air.
Lu Zhen's nose twitched when he smelled the smell, and he almost vomited right on the floor.
The smell was really disgusting enough to make even Lu Zhen have the urge to puke; however, slowly Lu Zhen recovered from it as he felt a little better.
"The best skill is definitely the adapting skill." Lu Zhen thought pleasantly.
He looked at the pill carefully as he was slowly recovering from its disgusting smell.
Unlike the dirty smell of the pill, the pill looked majestic as it shone in a golden colour. It was about half an inch in diameter.
It had a strange symbol around the middle of the pill, like a belt.
Lu Zhen looked carefully at the symbol, but he couldn't understand anything, just like the symbol on the scroll.
Although the symbol on the scroll and the symbol on these pills were different, Lu Zhen felt they originated from the same and looked a little similar to a language.
Which caused him to frown.
"Since this pill can only be created by first-stage martial artists, Is this language or something?" Lu Zhen thought as he connected the dots.
Lu Zhen eyes turned golden as he once again looked at the pill.
[Attribute-less qi refining pill]
[Grade: intent item]
[Remarks: ????]
"Oh well, I will know it when I reach the first stage as a martial artist." Lu Zhen just mused to himself as he took the pill in one go with decisiveness.
The moment the pill passed through Lu Zhen's throat, it travelled down his esophagus and reached his stomach.
The moment it did, the pill instantly disintegrated and turned into a mysterious energy in his body.
Some of the strange energy resonated with his wood qi and started converting to wood qi, which was instantly absorbed by Lu Zhen's body, and some of this energy provided warmth to Lu Zhen's body.
Lu Zhen felt his body blot up as his muscles started expanding a little and his veins started showing up.
Seeing this, Lu Zhen was a little surprised.
"Can't third-stage martial artists normally take this pill?" After all, Lu Zhen's body could be comparable to that of a peak third-stage martial artist, so he should have undoubtedly easily taken the effect of the pill.
[Your have eaten to your full]
[Your Gluttony skill has levelled up from level 6 to level 7].
[You have eaten your fill.]
[Your Gluttony skill has levelled up from level 7 to level 8].
Suddenly two prompts caught his attention; however, before he could properly check the prompt, he felt his muscles thicken even more as his body felt stuffed for some reason.
His qi almost reached an all-time high, and he directly broke through as a third-stage martial artist. However, there wasn't much substantial change in Lu Zhen's body.
The energy became a little less, but there was still more conversion from the mysterious energy, which made Lu Zhen feel bloated again.
"Ah….." Lu Zhen screamed out loud from the pain he felt from being stuffed to the brim with energy.
Although Lu Zhen was adapting to the energy and his body was gradually being strengthened, it was still not enough to resist the sheer amount of energy that Lu Zhen was getting from the pill.
"If these go on, I might die from overload," Lu Zhen thought as he fell to the floor. As he couldn't even walk, his mind raced to see any possibility of surviving these.
"Wait, I have that." Lu Zhen thought as he opened the system panel with a thought and focused his eyes on the cooking skill.
[Energy sufficient!]
[Do you want to upgrade your cooking skill? ]
Lu Zhen's eyes widen when he sees this; however, he is a little reluctant to waste this useless cooking skill; however, he has no choice after all; he will probably blast from overload if this goes on.
As his muscle swelled and visible red colour appeared in his body unlike the transformation where lu zhen was filled with power these was more like a feeling of being full to the brim with energy with no outlet.
"Yes." Lu Zhen thought as he imagined pressing the yes button n his mind.
