271: Chapter 257 Mysterious Visitor!_1 271: Chapter 257 Mysterious Visitor!_1 It was already past nine in the morning when I returned to Yuezhou.
Upon entering the hotel, Lv Zhong was surprised to find a significant number of police officers around his hotel and the surrounding area.
Some were visiting residents, while others were dressed in plain clothes blending into the crowd.
Lv Zhong wasn’t surprised at all.
Yesterday, several mysterious snipers died around the hotel.
If the police hadn’t shown up, they would have been neglecting their duties.
Confident that no one would discover yesterday’s events, Lv Zhong didn’t take the covert police presence to heart.
Carrying the prepared medicinal herbs, Lv Zhong calmly entered the hotel.
Since Lv Zhong had taken the body of the assassin who had been disguised as a female janitor into the Plague God Pearl’s internal space, no one had realized there had been a death at the hotel.
That’s why the luxury hotel could continue to operate normally.
“Zhong, why didn’t you come back until today?” Lv Tianci greeted him as he entered the suite, his face a mix of reproach and worry.
Although he believed his nephew went to get medicine for his son, Lv Tianci knew about the numerous deaths outside the hotel and found the chaos outside unsettling.
He had tried to call Lv Zhong several times that day, each time hearing a message that the phone was out of service, which made him worry.
One lie often leads to many.
With a wry smile, Lv Zhong replied, “Uncle, some of the herbs were hard to find.
I got the fresh ones through a college friend.
Sorry to have worried you.”
With that, he handed over the prepared herbs to Lv Tianci.
As a medic, Lv Tianci recognized the herbs that Lv Zhong bought were fresh and of high quality.
This left him no room to doubt Lv Zhong, and he was deeply moved.
As a doctor, Lv Tianci knew that it was not easy to find top-quality medicinal herbs, especially in an unfamiliar place.
Suppressing his emotions, Lv Tianci didn’t say much in way of gratitude.
After all, they were a family, and too much courtesy would seem artificial.
Having carefully inspected the herbs Lv Zhong bought back, Lv Tianci noticed that some were common while others were rare, prompting him to ask, “Zhong, you must’ve spent quite a bit on these herbs, right?”
“Not much.” Lv Zhong smiled.
These herbs were mainly from the medicinal fields of the Xuan Yin Demon Palace, almost all of which belonged to Lv Zhong.
After seeing that Lv Tianci remained skeptical, Lv Zhong said, “Uncle, even if the herbs cost a lot, it’s nothing significant.
After all, my brother’s injury needs to be treated.
Moreover, now that I have mastered most of the Lv Family’s medical skills, earning money wouldn’t be a problem, so you shouldn’t worry too much.”
After hearing Lv Zhong’s words, Lv Tianci felt more at ease and continued to watch Lv Zhong prepare the herbs.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill wasn’t hard to concoct.
In ancient times, some ancient martial arts experts could even make it, as long as all the herbal ingredients were gathered and the heat was accurately controlled.
However, to accurately control the heat was by no means a simple task.
But Lv Zhong was a real cultivator, and one with a strong spiritual sense at that.
With the help of his powerful spiritual sense, as long as he had an ordinary cauldron, Lv Zhong could easily make this pill.
After Lv Zhong finished off Ming Bupu and the others from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, all of the sect’s possessions became his.
Coincidentally, Lv Zhong had taken an alchemy cauldron from the sect’s pill concoction room.
Although the cauldron was neither a spiritual nor a treasure weapon and didn’t even qualify as a spiritual artifact, it was more than enough to make a batch of Marrow Cleansing Pills.
“Uncle, if something strange happens, don’t be alarmed,” Lv Zhong said mysteriously after sorting the medicinal herbs.
Of course, Lv Zhong wanted to reveal part of his secret to his uncle.
After all, he didn’t want to hide from his family the fact that he was a cultivator.
In the future, should anything happen, they would not be overly worried once they knew he was a cultivator.
Having already shared a bit of his secret with Zheng Linglong and his father, there was no harm revealing a little more to Uncle Lv Tianci.
Of course, Lv Zhong would not tell his family his biggest secret.
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust them.
Instead, he was protecting them.
After all, if more people knew about Lv Zhong’s possession of the Plague God Pearl, his family’s lives would undoubtedly be endangered.
“What?” Lv Tianci was baffled, not understanding what Lv Zhong was talking about.
But suddenly, Lv Zhong waved his hand, and an ancient alchemy cauldron appeared in the room out of thin air.
Startled, Lv Tianci took a step back, looking at Lv Zhong in disbelief, pointing at him and unable to speak.
After a while, Lv Tianci stammered, “Are…
Lv Zhong laughed, shook his head, and said, “Uncle, I am neither a god nor a demon.
Then, Lv Zhong explained to Lv Tianci what he had told his father, Lv Tianlin, that day.
With Lv Zhong’s explanation, Lv Tianci finally calmed down and said with a shocked expression, “So you’re a cultivator.
That’s like being a deity.
Zhong, you’re so fortunate to be chosen to become a disciple by such a being.”
“To be far, Lv Tianci looked envy, followed by a slight murmuring, “Our Mount Heng’s Anle Peak actually conceals a fairy, tsk tsk, it’s a pity that I didn’t believe in this when I was a child, otherwise I would have gone to Anle Peak for a chance…”
Hearing Lv Tianci said this, Lv Zhong chuckled.
The power hidden in Anle Peak was the Profound Yin Demon Sect.
Although this Cultivation Sect wasn’t very strong, it was the territory of a cultivator from the Devil-Path.
If Tianci had entered Anle Peak when he was young, he would have either been turned into a Devil-Path cultivator or met an untimely end.
This was certainly not a good thing.
However, now, the Profound Yin Demon Sect has completely become Lv Zhong’s personal property.
If he had the time, Lv Zhong would like to take his relatives into the territory of the Profound Yin Demon Sect.
Even after Lv Zhong left the territory, the Lv Family would have a good place to settle.
“Hehe, uncle, you don’t have to worry.
When I have time, I will take you to visit my sect.
Hehe, it’s not far from home, and the air there is very good…” Lv Zhong said with a smile.
“That would be great!” Lv Tianci said, looking forward.
After chatting for a while, Lv Zhong started the pill refining process.
At this moment, Lv Tianci, realizing that this pill was related to whether his son could heal, calmed down.
However, as a doctor, Tianci was extremely excited about the legendary pill refining process, his eyes were unblinking as he watched Lv Zhong.
The pill refining process went very smoothly!
Five hours later, the fresh Cleansing Marrow Pills were ready.
Storing the pills in small porcelain bottles, Lv Zhong noticed that the normally rigorous Lv Tianci was intoxicated, sniffing the air with his nose like a child.
Lv Zhong laughed and said, “Uncle, aren’t you overreacting?”
“Uh…” Caught off-guard by Lv Zhong’s comment, Lv Tianci blushed slightly.
Nevertheless, he didn’t care and looked at Lv Zhong with excitement, quickly asking, “How did the pills turn out, were they successful?”
Lv Zhong muttered to himself, but on the surface, he smiled and said, “Of course.”
“Then why are you still here, laughing at me, quickly go and administer the medication to your brother…” Lv Tianci couldn’t help but urge Lv Zhong, as he was quite worried about Lv Zhengguang.
Lv Zhong wasn’t annoyed, he nodded his head, put the pill cauldron back into the Plague God Pearl and made his way towards Lv Zhengguang’s room.
The injuries within Lv Zhengguang’s body had already healed by seventy to eighty percent, but he seemed comatose like a vegetable because he was affected by a Japanese Yin-Yang Law—the Soul Binding Technique.
This Soul Binding Technique was something Lv Zhong could easily break.
However, he was worried that Lv Zhengguang might wake up emotionally unstable, affecting his own treatment, so he temporarily ignored the Soul Binding Technique that Lv Zhengguang was affected by.
At this moment, Lv Zhengguang was lying quietly on the bed.
His face, which was originally sallow and pale, had regained some color after Lv Zhong interfered with his energy.
Lv Zhengguang’s good recovery gave Lv Zhong a great deal of satisfaction and joy.
He touched his chin and said with a slight smile, “His recovery is going well.
As long as he takes two more Cleansing Marrow Pills consecutively, he should recover fully and might even become stronger.”
He took out a Cleansing Marrow Pill from a porcelain bottle, and Lv Zhong dissolved the pill with his inner energy.
Immediately, a rich and mysterious aroma filled the room.
After getting Lv Zhengguang to take the pill smoothly, Lv Zhong laughed and said to Lv Tianci, “Brother will be basically recovered from his injuries within seven hours of taking this pill.
So, I will need to deal with the Soul Binding Technique tonight; therefore, we might need to stay in Yuezhou for another day.”
“Okay, as long as Guang’s body gets better, it doesn’t matter if we stay in Guangzhou City for another month or two.” Feeling that Lv Zhengguang’s body was truly improving, Lv Tianci’s words flowed freely.
Wow, what kind of father is this?
No matter how he heard it, these words sounded awkward!
Lv Zhong couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Because he rushed back to Yuezhou from Banyan City, Lv Zhong was a little tired.
Just as he was about to return to his room, planning to rest inside the Plague God Pearl, he suddenly sensed a faint footsteps approaching his room.
Also, faintly, Lv Zhong felt the existence of a strong peer outside his room!
Lv Zhong’s eyebrows knitted slightly as he reacted at once.
There was a cultivator outside, and this person’s cultivation was not weak.
More importantly, these people seemed to be aiming for him!
“I want to see who is trying to find me?”
Lv Zhong quietly increased his alertness.
He had flown back to Yuezhou from Banyan City on the Horizontal River Qi Stick, although he had rested in the space within the Plague God Pearl along the way.
However, the last time he came out from the Plague God Pearl, he flew for an hour using the Horizontal River Qi Stick, using up about 60% of his True Essence.
This is why Lv Zhong had just sensed the presence of cultivators entering the hotel.
Without wasting any more time, Lv Zhong expended his Spiritual Sense, spreading it outside…
