Chapter 281: Lu-style Alchemy

He opened the package, carefully sorted the medicinal herbs inside by type, and then began to process the herbs meticulously.

This process was tedious and dull, requiring great patience and care.

Lu Yu devoted himself to it with full concentration, and it took a full two or three hours before he finally had the herbs properly prepared.

"I wonder if I can unlock brand-new traits once my Realm improves further?" Lu Yu's eyes shimmered with anticipation, his heart full of longing.

If that could truly happen, it would naturally be for the best; even if no new traits appeared, it wouldn't really matter.

After all, the effects currently displayed by the Heaven-Human Induction trait had already far exceeded his initial expectations.

As for the massive consumption of Mental Power, while it was indeed a thorny problem at the moment, Lu Yu understood in his heart that as time passed and his strength improved further, this would no longer be a bother.

"If I haven't guessed wrong, the Experience Value required to improve my Realm next is probably 1600 points."

With a hint of curiosity, Lu Yu carefully added 1600 points of Experience Value to the Heaven-Man Induction Art to verify his thoughts.

Once all 1600 points of Experience Value were added, he clearly felt the Mental Power in his mind surge like a rising tide, increasing by another thirty percent.

At the same time, his understanding of the Heaven-Human Induction trait also grew significantly deeper.

However, apart from the increase in Mental Power, there were no other new changes.

"It seems no new trait was unlocked this time, but fortunately, this Cultivation Method still has two Realms that can be improved." Lu Yu cheered himself on, then gritted his teeth and invested another 3200 points of Experience Value.

Instantly, the Skill bar displayed: 【Heaven-Man Induction Art: Great Success, Traits: Gather Spirit Level 4, Heaven-Human Induction Level 3】.

Unfortunately, no new trait was born. Lu Yu scratched his head helplessly, looking at the remaining Experience Value, which was now just over two thousand points.

It was clear that with this little Experience Value, there was no way to raise the Heaven-Man Induction Art to the Consummation Realm.

"Oh well, let it be." Lu Yu shrugged lightly, comforting himself.

Although he hadn't reached the Consummation Realm, the bonuses brought by the Great Success Realm of the Heaven-Man Induction Art were already quite considerable.

It provided a 1.2 times Mental Attribute bonus; as a result, Lu Yu's current Mental Attribute had soared from the initial fifty-six thousand plus all the way to an astonishing value of nearly 130,000!

Possessing such a powerful Mental Attribute, even if he activated the Level 3 Heaven-Human Induction and let it run at full power, Lu Yu could hold on for thirteen or fourteen seconds.

In battle, such a long time was enough for him to quickly catch up to his opponent and end the fight in one fell swoop.

"It's a pity, I'm still one step away from Consummation; it's a bit of a small regret." Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh softly.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset; fortunately, his current state was basically enough.

"Next, it's time to practice Alchemy." As Lu Yu said this, he closed his laptop and was just about to put it into his Space Item when the phone suddenly rang.

"Huh, is the President calling?" Lu Yu was slightly stunned when he saw the caller ID, then quickly answered the phone and said politely, "Hello, President?"

"It's me, Little Lu." Song Tian's hearty laughter came from the other end of the line, "Brother Little Lu, I heard you just went out for a stroll, right?"

"Yes, President." Lu Yu responded with a smile, "I've been cooped up in the Alchemy Room practicing alchemy for the past few days, and it was getting a bit stifling, so I went out for some air."

"That's normal; you have to go out and walk around if you stay indoors for too long."

Song Tian first expressed his understanding, then cleared his throat and earnestly exhorted: "However, while it is relatively safer to walk around inside the city, you still need to be careful and cautious. If you happen to run into that guy Chen Yu, there's no telling what kind of trouble he might stir up for you."

"Alright, President, I'll keep that in mind." Lu Yu nodded, knowing in his heart that Song Tian was genuinely concerned for him.

But he also knew in his heart that he definitely had to go out to hunt and gain Experience Value.

After all, if he didn't have Experience Value to improve the hundreds of Cultivation Methods in his hands, it would be like a fighter jet fully loaded with various powerful missiles but lacking the crucial engine oil, making it impossible to exert its proper power...

"President..."

"Brother Little Lu..."

Both of their voices rang out at almost the same moment.

Song Tian laughed and said, "Brother Little Lu, if you have something to say, go ahead first."

"Yes, President. It's like this: I purchased another batch of herbs for Blood Qi Pills from the headquarters yesterday, so I would like to borrow the Alchemy Room at the Base again."

"Ha, I thought it was some big deal." Song Tian was amused, "Just come over later; I'll give you the access card. You can use the Alchemy Room whenever you want from now on. We have so few people in our Association, and you're the only one interested in alchemy."

"Alright, thank you so much, President." Lu Yu agreed without hesitation.

Although he was now a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist, it didn't mean he absolutely had to go to those medium or large cities.

After all, with the headquarters there, as long as he had enough Contribution Points, he could basically buy any resources he wanted.

Even if the Association didn't have them, he could still go to the Awakened Association to get them.

"President, did you also have something to tell me just now?" Lu Yu suddenly remembered and asked.

"Hehe, didn't you tell me last time that you had broken through to become a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist?" Song Tian said with a smile.

Lu Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked impatiently, "President, do you mean that the people sent by the headquarters to assess me are about to arrive?"

"That's right!" Song Tian confirmed with a smile, "I just received news from those two that they will arrive at our Branch tomorrow morning. Brother Little Lu, you must adjust your state well and strive to pass the assessment in one go."

"Don't worry, President!" Lu Yu felt a surge of joy; when he calculated it carefully, the timing was just right.

"Brother Little Lu, of course I believe in you. If you can successfully pass the assessment, our entire Yong'an City Association will be able to bask in the glory!" Song Tian couldn't help but exclaim.

One must know that the Yong'an City Branch had always been at the bottom of the entire Association.

Who could have imagined that such a Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artist as Lu Yu would emerge!

One must know that so far, there were fewer than ten branches in total that had produced Pulse Refining Realm Martial Artists, and most of them were in large cities in Jiangnan, as well as a few medium-sized cities.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Yu quickly arrived at the President's office and took the access card from Song Tian. Then, he went to the front desk to pick up the package and turned to walk straight into the Alchemy Room.

"It's time to test the effects of my Lu-style Alchemy after the fusion." Lu Yu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.
