Chapter 596
Processing the white thread fungi was easy . There were only 13 steps involved . Then, all that was left was to soak them using a certain method .
For a real beginner, it might have been difficult to remember every single step . However, for Lu Sheng, remembering these steps was a simpler task than breathing with his extremely powerful Weapon Grandmaster spirit .
Tu Jin had only demonstrated it once, and he had already remembered everything . However, in order not to arouse suspicion, he asked many questions and had Tu Jin demonstrate it again before attempting to process them himself .
After he processed one fungus, Tu Jin was slightly shocked, but he nodded with satisfaction .
“Finish processing all these in two days . There won’t be a problem, right? They must all be of this quality at least,” he said, pointing at Lu Sheng’s product .
“No problem . ” Lu Sheng nodded .
Just as well . He needed some time to investigate his surroundings .
Three days were enough for him .
After Tu Jin gave his order, he turned around and left . Lu Sheng was left processing the white thread fungi in the hut alone .
He continued working from the morning until the afternoon . The fat girl Chenchen had brought him some food . Lu Sheng quickly finished his meal, and continued processing the white thread fungi again .
When he practiced martial arts back then, he had also processed many medicinal herbs . This process was no challenge to him .
He continued processing the herbs slowly until the night . Although Lu Sheng tried his best to dally, he still managed to finish processing the white thread fungi already .
He slowed his pace as much as possible, but the results still surpassed his expectations .
During the night, Tu Jin went out to buy some groceries . When he opened the door to the ingredients room, the processed white thread fungi were lined up neatly in the room . Every single fungus was packed in a small wooden box . They were all processed as he had asked . The end products were of similar quality .
“You… did all this?” Tu Jin stood at the door and stared at Lu Sheng .
“Mm-hm . Fruits of the day’s labor . Are they up to your expectations?” Lu Sheng asked in a casual tone .
Tu Jin glanced at him and fell silent for a while . He only spoke slowly after a long pause . “They are…”
“In that case, can I be your assistant?” Lu Sheng asked with a smile .
Tu Jin gave it some thought . “Do you know how to brew simple medicine?”
“A little . ”
“Good . Starting from tomorrow, you’ll help me brew medicine . ” After he said this, he turned around, and left the room .
Lu Sheng smiled . This was a good start .
Early next morning, Tu Jin dragged a cart of medicinal herbs behind him, seemingly with ease, and went out . His usual activity was to leave early in the day and return at night .
Lu Sheng had also received a few tasks—brewing the medicine . It was easy for him . With his spirit’s power, it was a simple feat to sense the completion of the medicine and the strength of the fire .
After he finished his tasks, he started looking around the wooden hut and strolled in its surroundings .
Libra City suppressed the spirit’s senses greatly . His Weapon Grandmaster’s spirit could only cover an area of several dozen meters . Ordinary cultivators might not even be able to separate their spirits from their bodies .
However, this was already sufficient for Lu Sheng .
He found out where he was exactly in no time .
The location of Tu Jin’s hut was called Net Dragon Horn . Rumor had it that someone caught a dragon with a divine net in this area a long time ago . Due to the topography of the land which resembled a horn, the people started referring to this place as the Net Dragon Horn .
This area was somewhat remote . There was only a single sect to the west, the Scarlet Cloud Sect . It was the martial sect closest to this place .
Lu Sheng had also found out about the mode of existence of this Libra City .
Libra City was actually an immense organization formed by the gathering of a group of merchants and ascetic cultivators . The merchants believed in absolute equality, while the ascetic cultivators believed in absolute justice and fairness .
Both parties complemented each other, and they built a relatively fair environment . As a result, they attracted more and more rogue cultivators to join their ranks . The descendants of the rogue cultivators even started to settle down and live here .
Several hundred thousand years later, it gradually became a small independent world .
From the elderly who lived nearby, Lu Sheng learned that the most respected individuals of Libra City were those who stayed in the main city . Other than the main city, the inhabitants of the four wards were all second-class citizens . They were the weaker members of society whose role was to provide various services and resources to the people of the main city .
Here, the identity jade certificate was the most important document one could have . Without it, it was difficult to go anywhere .
From the conversations of the people around him, Lu Sheng could see their desire and wish to live in the main city .
However, the amount of contribution points needed to become a citizen of the main city was shockingly high . Only those who became cultivators and involved themselves in extraterrestrial campaigns would earn many contribution points .
After having a general idea of the situation here, Lu Sheng continued processing the herbs and brewing the medicine . Everything went smoothly .

At that moment, a letter that came from afar immediately made Tu Jin feel helpless .
The letter was intended for his daughter and great disciple .
His great disciple Decheng had invited Chenchen to join the Scarlet Cloud Sect . Now that the scarlet goldfish monsters were wreaking havoc, the Scarlet Cloud Sect was summoning its disciples to gather and repel the onslaught of the scarlet goldfish monsters .
The two of them were worried that Tu Jin would not allow them to leave . Hence, they left the letter behind and went away . When Tu Jin realized this, he was so furious that he could not eat any food for two days .
Fortunately, De Yun was there to help . With his and Lu Sheng’s persuasion, Tu Jin gradually got over his anger .
However, the once lively wooden hut’s courtyard was now silent .
The days passed, and Lu Sheng finally received the identity jade certificate which Tu Jin helped apply for . However, he needed more contribution points if he wanted to earn the temporary residence rights .
In total, he had earned 13 points, all of which was from processing the medicinal herbs . They were given to him by Tu Jin .
13 points enabled him to stay here for slightly more than a month .
Naturally, in this period of leisure, Lu Sheng kept being Tu Jin’s assistant while learning his methods of healing the various ailing organs .
The outstanding qualities of the Tu Style Healing Art were shown to him in no time .
This Healing Art which had been passed down for many generations had two greatest specialties .
The first one was the three great limitations of the secret art, which Tu Jin kept going on and on about .
The second one was that it was a Healing Art which mainly dealt with organ transplantation .
With the Tu Style Healing Art’s unique cultivation method and skill formulas, the cultivator could cultivate the special energy of the auxiliary Healing Art . This energy was not offensive in nature, and its healing properties were similar to the other cultivation methods which had healing effects .
After Lu Sheng understood the Tu Style’s main system, he immediately knew that this could be extremely helpful to his own martial art system .
This was the main reason why he was willing to stay here so patiently .
He had searched the inside and outside of the wooden hut . Even when Tu Jin was not here, Lu Sheng could not locate the core skill formula here . He attempted Psychological Guidance Healing Art, but to no avail . Hence, he gave up on the notion of leaving after obtaining the cultivation method .
Unfortunately, although he was very interested in the Tu Style Healing Art, Tu Jin had to be willing to teach him . Without any other options available to himself, Lu Sheng waited for an opportunity .

Time passed slowly by . In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a month .
Tu Jin was extremely gloomy .
He was dejected that nobody was interested in learning about all that he knew in this generation . This was the greatest mockery for his Tu Style Healing Art .
The powerful healing art which he took pride in seemed to be a relic of the past in this generation, forgotten by the times .
He sat within the wooden hut’s main room . With his cigarette holder in hand, he kept smoking .
De Yun was dealing with a pot of bubbling thick red medicinal liquid to his right .
Lu Yue[1 . Lu Sheng’s alias here iirc . ] was to his left . He was processing a batch of extremely precious leaves of the red sandalwood flower .
Tu Jin sighed, and asked, “I’ll need both of you to help me today to deal with something troublesome . Do you still remember the Little Cloud Origin Law I mentioned yesterday?”
“Yes . ”
“No . ”
Lu Yue and De Yun had two starkly contrasting answers . Tu Jin rubbed his eyes helplessly .
Initially, he could bear with De Yun’s stupidity, but since Lu Yue became his assistant, there was a cause for comparison . Hence, De Yun’s lower mental capacity was more glaring now .
Lately, he had to process an extremely important wild medicinal herb . Hence, he required his two assistants to have greater qualities and skills . That was why he tried to show them a plain skill of the Tu Style Healing Art .
However, to his dismay, De Yun was as exceptionally dumb as he had been, while Lu Yue was far cleverer than he had expected .
Tu Jin started considering if he should regard Lu Yue as a heir to his healing art as well .
In truth, he had been trying to recruit disciples who were willing to learn the healing art in the area . Unfortunately, nobody was willing to come .
The extremely high difficulty aside, cultivating the Tu Style Healing Art required repetitive practice for the cultivator to master the most fundamental skills .
Even if one managed to learn it, with the same amount of time and energy, the benefits one would gain were a far cry compared to cultivating martial arts .

A few young people had been tricked before this . They had cultivated for two years, but could not even attain the first level of the healing art .
Their peers who joined martial art sects were already capable of breaking rocks and splitting stones . They were already accepting missions and collecting bounties, and supported their families .
On the other hand, they had spent quite an amount of ice money to learn this healing art .
This was a scam!
After that, nobody wanted to come and learn the healing art of their own volition anymore . As time passed, even Tu Jin’s own great disciple and daughter did not want to learn it .
Hence, his main concern now was not whether to teach it or not, but if anyone was willing to learn it .
Tu Jin sighed, and glanced at Lu Yue .
‘I’ll ask him after this . Young people nowadays… they’re too fickle and impatient… What’s bad about my healing art? You can help the wounded and the fallen . My wife had been saved with this very art many years ago…’
“Sir, the Little Cloud Origin Law seems to be meant specifically for meat excrescence internal herb . It’s only effective on meat excrescence less than 1000 years old, and it won’t work on older ones . I’ve read this in the herbology book you recommended to me last time . This ingredient of yours…” Lu Sheng reminded him softly .
“Oh? There’s such a thing?” Tu Jin himself did not even notice this detail . These days, he had been too busy with his various assignments .
When he was reminded by Lu Sheng, he was first shocked . After recalling his knowledge, he found that it was true .
“You’re right!” Tu Jin stood up and paced around the room . “Your reminder is timely . It’s true that the Little Cloud Origin Law can’t be used here . It’ll affect the potency of the product . ”
Lu Sheng’s reminder seemed to have helped him reach a decision .
Tu Jin looked at Lu Sheng, and suddenly thought of an idea . He would disregard this kid’s willingness and force him to learn the healing art from him .
This kid’s residence rights in Libra City were dependent on him . If he was unwilling, he could refuse to extend his stay .
When he thought about this, Tu Jin immediately felt relieved . This might actually work .
