Level Up in Martial World

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 me try," Lu Zhen took the perfect-grade paste in his hand and consumed it.

The same thing happened, but this time, the efficiency increased. Lu Zhen could feel his wood Qi strengthening his body even more, but it was fleeting, disappearing as quickly as it appeared.

The same thing happened; however, the efficiency this time increased, as Lu Zhen could feel that his wood Qi strengthened his body even more. He could feel a slight enhancement of his body, but it disappeared the moment it appeared.

"My body is too strong to be strengthened any further by these meager pastes, and the pill might make me explode, honestly," Lu Zhen had some guesses as to why even a simple pill, which an ordinary third-stage martial artist could take, made Lu Zhen almost explode.

With a body strong enough to compete with a third-stage peak martial artist or even higher. Lu Zhen had a hunch that it was because of his gluttony skill, which digested the pill almost instantly. So, all the mysterious energy inside the pill wasn't wasted, unlike others who took it, needing to digest the pill over a long time, inevitably losing most of the pill's effects.

"Let's take a look," Lu Zhen thought as he opened his system hopefully.

[Log]

Seeing the log button, Lu Zhen was undoubtedly excited as he opened it with a thought.

[You have successfully created your perfect paste]

[Your Alchemy skill has leveled up from level 1 to level 2]

"Now I can make better paste," Lu Zhen thought as he rubbed his hands together.

Knock! Knock!

Suddenly, Lu Zhen heard a knock which caused him to frown with displeasure.

"Young master, the patriarch has called for you…" he heard an expressionless old voice.

"Why did my cheap father call for me?" He thought to himself as he opened the door.

"Oh, Elder Yao, what did my father call me for?" Lu Zhen asked as he stared at the man who had a classical elderly look with long white hair and a small white beard. He was wearing the classical robe of an elder.

"Young master, you will find out in the hall," Lu Yao said with a strange expression on his face.

"Oh, alright," Lu Zhen said as he nodded.

"But let's wait for a moment," Lu Zhen added, thinking of something.

At that perfect timing, Little Lily approached Lu Zhen.

"Eh, young master, the food is ready," she said, her surprise evident when she noticed the elder present.

"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.
