Chapter 207: Chapter 121 Damn, it’s a downpour from the sky!_1
As the sky gradually became brighter,
the one who was embraced from both sides and slept until the sun almost shone on his rear,
Luo Yao finally awoke, albeit belatedly.
It was only upon awakening
that he, without even time for washing up, dashed straight toward the courtyard where his esteemed ancestor resided.
“Patriarch, Patriarch Changfeng…”
Within the courtyard, Luo Yao caught his breath and slightly lowered his head.
“What is it?”
“You finally decided to get up?”
Under the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng, who was sipping hot tea, quietly glanced at Luo Yao, who appeared somewhat restrained.
“Slept, overslept…”
After swallowing his saliva, Luo Yao cautiously murmured in a low voice.
“Do you know why I asked you to come here?”
Luo Yao shook his head, his expression somewhat bewildered, “No, I don’t know…”
Under the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng waved his hand.
He took out a white porcelain bottle from his storage pouch.
Then, he said in a low voice to Luo Yao before him,
“Do you know what this is?”
Luo Yao silently raised his head and looked at the elixir bottle held in the hands of his ancestor.
However, upon seeing that,
his heart unbiddenly grew more fearful.
For, the porcelain bottle his ancestor held was engraved with the large characters “Body Tempering Elixir.”
Blood Replenishing Pills were used to replenish Qi and blood.
Whereas the Body Tempering Elixir was for tempering the flesh, enhancing one’s cultivation.
The Body Tempering Elixir indeed was a treasure, its price always high on the market.
But, this thing also had a side effect that could not be ignored.
Uh… arguably a side effect.
That was, when using the Body Tempering Elixir, the medicinal power would cut through every part of your body like numerous little knives.
The feeling was torturous.
Like a cruel punishment, it made life worse than death.
Though Luo Yao had never personally taken such an elixir,
merely witnessing the symptoms of some core family members after consuming the Body Tempering Elixir
mades him shudder at the thought.
“Patriarch Changfeng, this, this must be the Body Tempering Elixir, right?”
“Are you taking out this Body Tempering Elixir because you want to do something?”
Once again swallowing his saliva, Luo Yao’s face twisted into a smile uglier than tears.
“Naturally, it’s for you.”
While speaking, Luo Changfeng tossed the bottle of Body Tempering Elixir to Luo Yao in front of him.
Luo Yao, the playboy, the profligate son.
Although he was a profligate, he too had his own bottom line.
However, with his daily laziness and wandering aimlessly,
his cultivation was gradually falling further behind the family’s overall progress.
Skin Refinement Initial Realm?
No, to be precise, this fellow was still somewhat short of even the Initial Realm of Skin Refinement.
When it came to talent for cultivation, Luo Yao’s talent wasn’t bad at all.
But it was this fellow always looking to cut corners, unwilling to endure the pain of cultivating.
Therefore, his cultivation had been stuck between that of an ordinary person and the Initial Realm of Skin Refinement.
“I’ll give you one month, one month’s time, to consume all these elixirs.”
“Don’t think you can just muddle through.”
“Consume these elixirs, and your treatment will remain the same, it may even increase by fifty percent.”
“Of course, every month you must collect the portion that belongs to you alone from your father.”
“If you don’t…”
“I’ll have your father take back all those benefits.”
…
Inside the courtyard.
Once Patriarch Changfeng finished speaking,
Luo Yao’s smile became increasingly difficult to maintain.
Consume every single pill of this bottle of Body Tempering Elixir?
And every month he had to collect a bottle that was meant for him, Luo Yao?
Was this not tantamount to wishing him dead?
He had changed; Patriarch Changfeng seemed to have changed.
The previous Patriarch Changfeng wasn’t like this.
Before, Patriarch Changfeng had been very kind to him.
Why had he become like this now?
“I, I…”
Luo Yao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
But after hesitating for a moment,
he still didn’t speak.
“What, you want to refuse?”
Luo Changfeng’s eyes slightly narrowed, a chilling light gradually shining within.
“No, not at all…”
Luo Yao shook his head and then, with a pained expression, said in a low voice, “I just have one question. Shouldn’t a bottle of elixir contain ten pills?”
“Why does the quantity in my bottle seem a bit off…”
As he spoke, Luo Yao opened the porcelain bottle.
After checking the number of pills inside, he promptly said, “Patriarch Changfeng, why are there twenty pills in my bottle?”
“This, this, this…”
“Could there be a mistake?”
Upon hearing this, Luo Changfeng solemnly stated, “No, you’re mistaken, a bottle of elixir originally contains twenty pills, not ten…”
“I’m mistaken?”
A hint of threatening demeanor passed through Luo Changfeng’s eyes as he picked up the teacup from the table, blowing on it lightly.
Then, in a soft voice, he said, “Are you implying that I’m wrong?”
…
Moments later.
Luo Yao walked away with tears in his eyes, clutching a bottle filled with twenty Body Tempering Elixir pills,
quietly leaving the courtyard alone.
And in the courtyard, Luo Changfeng,
took the cup of tea to his lips and sipped a little.
“Not even at the Initial Realm of Skin Refinement, that is indeed a bit low…”
“If you want to indulge, at least you need a fairly robust body!”
