Watch out! Something's wrong with this guard.

"Let me think... eggplant... ginkgo... bat flower... the corpse of a bloodworm... although it's just a pill used to break through to the late stage of Body Tempering, the number of things needed is surprisingly large."

Walking alone in the dense forest, Lu Yunshi pondered the materials needed to refine the Rejuvenation Pill. The list contained more than fifty kinds of spiritual herbs, and he had spent seven days finding only twelve of the more common ones.

He had originally found twenty kinds, but one day when Lu Yunshi took out those spiritual herbs to observe them, he found that he had actually found the wrong ones, and the age of the spiritual herbs was not right at all.

As someone with only theoretical knowledge, Lu Yunshi was far too likely to misunderstand these things.

Because he had mistaken the medicine, Lu Yunshi was very annoyed. In his anger, he immediately took out the Complete Book of Alchemy and Spiritual Objects and flipped through it again to punish himself. This process lasted for three whole days. In other words, apart from the first four days, Lu Yunshi simply hid in a certain place and read books for the remaining three days.

And so, Lu Yunshi, now fully recharged with knowledge, embarked on his quest for medicine once more, brimming with confidence.

Just then, some commotion came from the bushes not far away. Lu Yunshi looked up and saw a purple unicorn deer. It was just an ordinary wild beast, not even at the Body Tempering Realm. Lu Yunshi glanced at it and lost interest.

These beasts, whose strength is not even at the Body Tempering Realm, are the main enemies that Lu Yunshi has been dealing with these past few days.

However, aside from the initial troubles, Lu Yunshi quickly adapted to this level of enemy and was fully capable of handling them with his skills.

Encountering such wild beasts now only makes Lu Yunshi think more about what to eat for dinner.

Without saying a word, Lu Yunshi took out Lanlan and quickly rushed towards the direction of the unicorn deer.

Without the support of vital energy, Lu Yunshi, who was just like an ordinary person at the moment, was far inferior to the unicorn deer in terms of strength. But fortunately, the battles with wild beasts in the past few days had indeed made Lu Yunshi wield the sword in his hand even better.

After wielding his longsword, Lu Yunshi had yet to encounter an opponent.

Even without using his swordsmanship, Lu Yunshi already possessed a certain level of skill in swordsmanship; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to master the 'form' so quickly.

To hone his swordsmanship skills, Lu Yunshi put in a lot of effort; he spent three whole days flipping through the book "Three-Day Instant Sword Emperor" on his bookshelf.

Three days passed, and although he had not yet become a Sword Emperor, Lu Yunshi had indeed skipped the beginner stage.

Shangguan Yue was right. In terms of aptitude for swordsmanship, he might actually be quite good, although he couldn't compare to that eccentric genius who wrote "Three Days to Become a Sword Emperor".

Incidentally, the author of this book became a Sword Emperor in just three days, which can be considered a sudden enlightenment and ascension to immortality. He probably really thought that what he could do, others could also do, so he wrote this book with his own insights. However, apart from being popular for a while when the book was first released, it is now completely ignored.

The main reason Lu Yunshi bought the book was that it was cheap.

It's true that you can buy this book from the pirated market for the price of toilet paper. However, after learning about the sales situation of this book during that period, Lu Yunshi still felt that he had overpaid. He could have clearly bought another book and asked the shopkeeper to give it to him. In the end, he suffered from his lack of worldliness.

Of course, another reason is that Lu Yunshi flipped through a couple of pages and found that many of the things said there made a lot of sense, and he could understand some of the points.

However, this might just be because Lu Yunshi was completely blind to the way of the sword at that time. Because he didn't understand it, everything he saw seemed reasonable.

Even if the book contained the idea of ​​Lu Yunshi hitting roadside flowers and grass with a wooden stick, he might still nod and think there was some truth to it.

The reason why Lu Yunshi can still remember it so clearly is not because the book he bought was so good, nor because he suffered a lot of losses.

It was because of the look of disbelief from the shop owner and passersby when he said he could understand some of the book's contents.

Incidentally, Lanlan is the blue longsword summoned by Lu Yunshi's bracelet. Lu Yunshi thoughtfully gave his precious sword a name.

As for the reason?

I was just bored.

After slaying the offending unicorn deer with his sword, Lu Yunshi sighed. "Tsk! If I wrote about such boring days in a book and let readers know, they would just think it was filler, and the author would definitely get spoiled."

"However, at this point, if nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected should happen."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yunshi shook his head helplessly.

"You've been reading too many novels. How could something like that be possible..."

"Help~~~"

A girl's voice, choked with sobs, suddenly rang in Lu Yunshi's ears, leaving him completely stunned. "Wait, what kind of world is this? How could something like this really happen?"

"No, no, no, what should we do now?" Lu Yunshi shook his head, actually feeling a little expectant. "According to standard procedure, this is a hero rescuing a damsel in distress scenario."

"But that voice sounds so young, like someone only seven or eight years old. Am I supposed to raise it like that? I remember my son read about that in a book..."

Lu Yunshi rejected this dangerous idea again. Even in this world full of perverts, this idea was still too perverted. Perverts would despise it.

"What should we do then? Should we just leave? There's no benefit in saving him anyway. He's so young and he's running off to the middle of nowhere all by himself. He's probably a brat. It's terrifying."

That's what he said, but it was just talk. Lu Yunshi still had to help, since it was just a small favor. Whether it would be good or bad, he would only know after he helped her.

Even if you only get one super lollipop in the end, it's still worth the effort you put in.

However, there was another reason: Lu Yunshi felt that Shangguan Yue was definitely observing him from the shadows, so he had to make a good impression and act as a brave, righteous warrior who liked to help those in need.

Because Lu Yunshi discovered that Shangguan Yue would occasionally be very happy when he played a certain unknown role well.

If she's happy, Lu Yunshi will be happy too, because if Shangguan Yue is happy, she might give her something.

This thing is like a lottery; you never know when you'll suddenly get a reward. Judging from what Lu Yun has gotten in these few meetings, Shangguan Yue's drop rate is really high, so this is a sure-fire way to make money.

Sister Shangguan, please watch carefully.

Today is also a day for me, your younger brother, to put on a show for you.
