Chapter 1132 A Medicinal Bath Across Ten Thousand Years

Chapter 1132 A Medicinal Bath Across a Million Years
Thus, over a long period of time, the Holy Soul repeatedly escaped from the sinkhole, embarking on adventures in new hosts, and ultimately reaching the same end, plunging the world into destruction.

Lu Li was somewhat moved, because he had some understanding of the sealing power of the Demon God, and he believed that it was unlikely that the Demon God could completely break through the restrictions and control a person.

Then why does the world always seem to fall into ruin? What exactly did the hosts of the Demon Gods of each generation do with their power in the end?
Lu Li was very confused, but he knew that these were questions that the man in front of him could not answer.

As the other party said, the man might be a descendant of a Watcher family, but by his time, he was the last one left, reduced to the point where he needed to cling to a company just to survive.

In such circumstances, what a man knows is mostly incomplete and fragmented, and after his death, these things will be buried forever.

This is why later computers, no matter how hard they search through the data, cannot find this transmitted information, because the man's family likely passed down these secrets in an ancient way, using pen and paper or orally.

"Boy, aren't you going to avenge your master? Let me see the power of the Holy Soul."

The man spoke again. The rain had stopped. He took off his exoskeleton armor, stood on the ground, and assumed a starting stance for a boxing move, his posture very stable.

Looking at the martial arts master named Luo Xiao, Lu Li also assumed a fist-fighting stance, saying, "You have more guts than you will ten years from now."

Luo Xiao smiled after hearing Lu Li's words, "I don't want to see myself ten years from now."

Having said that, he took the lead and launched an attack, his footsteps splashing up water lilies as he pounded the muddy ground.

The next instant, the small figure passed by him. Luo Xiao's throat was completely shattered, blood spilled from his mouth, and he staggered a few steps before collapsing to the ground. He turned to look at Lu Li, who was walking towards Lu Feng's body, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

However, he could no longer make a sound, and could only laugh before passing away.

Lu Li walked to his master's body and knelt down.

“Master… isn’t that funny?”

Lu Li looked at the dead middle-aged man with a mixture of laughter and tears, "You taught us to be kind and righteous from a young age, and you always talked about how the greatest heroes serve their country and people. But the country no longer exists in this era."

He continued talking to himself, "Master, you teach me this way because you hope I can use the power of the Holy Soul to change this distorted world, but you don't know that the Holy Soul is actually a great demon that has been destroying worlds throughout history..."

He stood up, pulled the mechanical arm out of his master's chest, straightened his master's clothes, and combed his master's hair. "But, Master, Ali can't let you become a clown. So even if Ali has to pierce the sky, he will prove that you are right."

As he spoke, he turned and walked towards the temple that was half-submerged by the mudslide, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

He walked past the familiar buildings in the dojo, through the library he loved most as a child. The room shook, and the comics and novels on the shelves were scattered all over the floor, mixed with the mud and sand that poured in through the window.

He picked up a novel at random and discovered it was a cultivation novel he had read when he was a child.

The story told in this short story is very simple. It is nothing more than a traditional story of a cultivator who defies the heavens. However, when Lu Li was young, he did not understand what it meant to defy the heavens, nor did he know why he had to do so. Now he understands it a little.

Some things are indeed worth doing even when you know they are impossible, and some challenges you should still try even if you know they are certain death.

He walked through the mud and sand, his feet treading on his childhood memories; he climbed toward the window, carrying the heavy burden of his reality.

He overcame the obstacles and came to the next room, a room his master never allowed them to enter, because that was where his master brewed medicinal wine. His master always said that children should not drink alcohol, and he kept the door tightly shut.

Lu Li knew that his master was using medicinal wine to suppress his old injuries. In other words, there might be some medicinal herbs in the room where his master stored the medicinal wine.

After digging through the mud and sand with his hands, Lu Li unearthed a small box from under the shelf. Opening the box, Lu Li couldn't help but exclaim, "Master, you've saved me again..."

Inside the box was a thousand-year-old ginseng. In ordinary martial arts and cultivation novels, this ginseng wouldn't be considered to be of an outrageous age, but in this day and age, thousand-year-old ginseng is simply unheard of.

As for later generations, it's impossible. It has nothing to do with the level of technology, but rather that the Blue Alliance era was no longer able to cultivate such a great medicine with spiritual energy and vitality.

Yes, Lu Li sensed this as soon as he arrived here. The world at this time has not completely lost its spiritual energy. Although it is extremely thin, there is still energy such as spiritual energy. Therefore, it is possible to find life-giving medicines in this era.

This thousand-year-old ginseng was probably obtained by my master in his early years when he traveled all over the country and cultivated in the deep mountains and forests. Over the years, even though he had hidden injuries and was in great pain, my master was reluctant to use it.

Lu Li could roughly guess what his master originally intended to do with this thousand-year-old ginseng. In their early years, his family was poor, and his master had repeatedly told them that if they really had no food to eat, they shouldn't be afraid, as he still had some valuable assets that could be sold to provide for their food and his senior sister's dowry.

Clearly, thousand-year-old ginseng has extremely high value in this era, not in terms of its edible value, but in its high scientific research value. After all, pharmaceutical companies on the market simply cannot find such old ginseng as a research material.

If Master is willing to sell it to the company's pharmaceutical factory, this ginseng will surely ensure they have enough to eat and wear.

However, his master ultimately couldn't bear to sell it, and Lu Li could guess the reason as well.

Because he also dug out many small wooden boxes from the room, each with a label on it. One of the boxes contained a small notebook containing his master's records of the medicinal herbs he had collected, as well as his plans for preparing the medicine.

When Lu Li turned to the last page, he saw that his master was preparing a medicinal bath for him when he turned nine, in order to lay a solid foundation for his martial arts and improve his physical aptitude.

In that instant, Lu Li recalled his conversations with his master and senior sister.

“Master, I read in storybooks that children should have their essence and marrow cleansed and soaked in medicinal baths to improve their physique when they are young, so that they can become great masters in the future.”

"You brat, with our family's resources, you think you can take a medicinal bath? Whether you can become a great master depends on your own efforts, what does it have to do with a medicinal bath?"

"Ah Li, tell me the truth, are you hungry and thinking of sneaking into the pharmacy to eat?"

"I...I didn't think that way, and the storybook says that medicinal herbs don't taste good."

"Hahaha, brat, you're already so naturally strong, and you still need to take medicinal baths to improve your physique? Are you leaving any room for other martial artists to survive?"

"Hehe, Master, I was just saying that. If you don't want it, that's fine. But can I have an extra bowl of porridge tonight?"

"So you were waiting for me here? You brat, alright, alright, tonight Master will cook himself. We'll have something dry tonight, just two stir-fried dishes!"

Wow! That's amazing!

"Master, I've finished reading another one of your collected comics and novels, but after recently finishing Fate, I've been thinking..."

"What are you thinking about?"

"I've seen too many of these all-powerful wish-granting machines, and I'm getting a bit tired of them. So I was wondering if there's any kind of power in this world that isn't so strong, that can't directly grant your wish, and that requires a lot of effort and a roundabout way to make it come true."

"Of course."

"Really?! Master, tell me quickly!"

"Your parents."

"..."

"Hey, hey, hey, Ali, don't cry. It's Master's fault... But Ali, Master also has the word 'father' in his name, so I am your parents!"

"But... Master only has a father, not a mother..."

"You brat, I'll beat you to death..."

……

A flood of memories washed over him. Looking at the pile of boxes he had dug out and arranged before him, tears welled in Lu Li's eyes. "Master, you really are an omnipotent wish-granting machine..."

It turns out that Master has never forgotten what he said. Even the unintentional words of children are remembered by Master. Even if it means going bankrupt, Master will remain calm and composed on the surface.

Because that man said he was Lu Li's parents.

This medicinal bath, which should have taken place when Lu Li was nine years old, should never have happened, but now it has come to Lu Li after more than a million years.

This is the love that the master has for him, as heavy as a mountain and as tender as water.

Lu Li kowtowed several times in the direction of his master, and then, in the darkness of night, arranged the various medicinal herbs and threw them into the wooden bucket where he was boiling water.

He could eat the herbs directly, but he wanted to take a medicinal bath, which his master had originally prepared for him.

After being immersed in the wooden tub, Lu Li's young body quickly turned bright red. At the same time, he manipulated his paste-like source to extend outwards, absorbing all the medicinal power that the bath could not absorb into his own source.

The main purpose is to absorb the vitality stored in the medicinal herbs from these years. All these herbs combined are not as potent as a single rare-quality spiritual herb in the space.

But this tiny bit of vitality and spirit became the last ray of light in the darkness that could illuminate the world.

And the flame ignited by this light is enough to start a prairie fire.

As Lu Li absorbed the last trace of spiritual energy and vitality into his body, his very essence began to vibrate.

The first thing to revive was the Primordial Spirit Seed. The withered seed took root and sprouted, and the power it had accumulated was reviving. Through its interaction with Lu Li's origin, it began to grow positively.

Next, the Immortal Seed revived. After being nourished by spiritual energy, it finally sprouted new buds. As the tender buds swayed in the void, they gathered all the spiritual energy in the entire world.

Suddenly, various strange phenomena began to appear on the blue planet, and the winds and clouds surged, converging on this remote mountainous area.

With the infusion of spiritual energy, Lu Li's origin became increasingly active, and the longevity substances stored deep within could finally be mobilized to continue irrigating the Primordial Spirit Seed.

Lu Li is like an engine with a full tank of fuel, only lacking an ignition starter. Now that it's started, it's rapidly increasing its power.

His vitality intensified, and the Primordial Spirit Seed skipped several stages in a short period of time, from the budding stage to the mature stage.

And so, under the dim night sky, when lightning once again streaked across the sky, illuminating the world, one could see a towering ginseng fruit tree.

The Immortal Seed was not to be outdone. Although the spiritual energy of this era was thin, it was still a considerable force when it gathered the spiritual energy of the whole world.

A huge vortex appeared in the sky, its area even larger than a province, causing local companies to take it very seriously. However, no matter what kind of aircraft they sent out to detect it, they would be shattered by the rapidly spinning vortex of spiritual energy.

The enormous vortex sank down, as if it had transformed into a world-ending tornado. In an instant, the people in the surrounding areas, who had been marveling at the miracle, came to their senses and began to panic and try to flee to other provinces.

But then they discovered that although the tornado stretched from the sky to the ground and looked extraordinary, it did not spread and harm other places. It was just a strange sight, which gradually calmed them down.

As the massive tornado of spiritual energy poured down, Lu Li's body was thoroughly cleansed and became translucent, his young body becoming like transparent jade, while the seed of immortal spirit within him grew rapidly.

In a short period of time, the Immortal Seed grew from its budding stage to its mature stage, and thus the second Heavenly Tree in the world manifested, which was a Primordial Star Tree.

The roots of the Innate Star Tree were connected to Lu Li. It seemed that only in this instant did Lu Li truly walk his own path independently, without the assistance of space or the space panel system. Everything was under his control.

This great tree transcended the predetermined growth pattern within the space, and under Lu Li's understanding, it was nurtured and restored to its former peak.

For a moment, people all over the world stopped what they were doing and looked up at the two incredibly tall trees.

Initially, people far away could see the entire tree, and that it was taller than the highest peak on Earth. However, as the two trees grew, people on Earth could only see the partially visible trunks that had initially extended out.

The two trees themselves have extended into the boundless universe, like plants growing in the cracks of rocks. The towering trees that grew from the two spiritual seeds seem to be able to break through the limitations of the void, pierce through this universe that is neither real nor illusory, and extend their branches and leaves, traversing through ancient and modern times.

Driven by Lu Li, the Immortal Spirit Seed greedily absorbed all the spiritual energy or other energy that could be absorbed and transformed, while the Primordial Spirit Seed absorbed all the longevity substances that could be absorbed in space and time to make up for its deficiencies.

In less than half an hour, the two spirit seeds had recovered to their former peak, pouring a large amount of vitality and spiritual energy into Lu Li's body, washing away the power of the threads, and trying to help him break this eternal curse.
