I Have A Martial Dao World

Chapter 25: 25. Medicinal bath

The group moved the herbal medicine and bath barrel into the garage.

Lu Yao's garage was over 20 square meters in size, which was fairly spacious.

After checking everything, Lu Yao confirmed there were no mistakes, signed the delivery slip, and sent the two delivery persons away first.

When Li Lei saw the conspicuous bath barrel, she immediately imagined what Lu Yao wanted to do: "No wonder you bought so many herbs—you're planning to take a medicinal bath, aren't you!"

Lu Yao glanced at her with slight surprise, not expecting this woman to figure out his intention.

From the beginning, Lu Yao hadn't considered making an ointment, but had a more extravagant idea—medicinal bathing!

A medicinal bath was the most potent method. Brewing a whole big barrel to soak in was more effective than the stingy ointments, with quicker and better absorption!

The only downside was: it was too wasteful because the external application's potency couldn't be fully absorbed.

But money was no object for Lu Yao—he wanted efficiency!

~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao pointed to the oil paper package next to him containing the Cordyceps, "You should check the goods first."

Li Lei looked doubtfully at the unremarkable, earthy package, thinking to herself: No way...

With trembling hands, she opened it to find a large bunch of Cordyceps!

They were of the same quality as the last batch, and she weighed them with the electronic scale she carried—it was exactly ten catties.

Li Lei couldn't help but look at Lu Yao: "Such a precious herb, and you just throw it around here!? It's worth 500,000 yuan."

Lu Yao shrugged, "What else should I do? Keep it in a safe and meet you with a secret code? Be more generous, it's just some herbs."

Looking at how indifferent Lu Yao was, Li Lei became even more puzzled about him.

She suddenly realized—that person who was terminally ill looked much healthier than two days ago, and his eyes were especially bright! It wasn't obvious outside, but in the dim garage, it was particularly noticeable.

Li Lei internally exclaimed: This man might be ordinary-looking, but his eyes were truly beautiful! Clear and pure, shining like the stars! So charming, no—she couldn't hold back anymore!

This was an outward manifestation of growing proficiency in Spirit Refinement.

Lu Yao was in a hurry. Seeing the woman staring blankly at him, he couldn't help but remind her, "If everything looks good, go ahead and make the transfer. You can deduct the cost of the herbs you brought."

"Oh, right." Li Lei finally came to her senses, opened the calculator on her phone, and started tapping away: "Dijin Grass for 1,000, donkey-hide gelatin for 10,000, the beehive is a bit more expensive—30,000, the total is... "

As she was calculating, Li Lei suddenly remembered—Lu Yao's Cordyceps could be sold for triple the price in a flip, and she should really woo this "supplier" instead of squabbling over minor profits!

So she slapped her chest generously: "Consider the herbs a gift from me. I wish you a speedy recovery!"

"I'll take your kind words." Lu Yao glanced at her and inwardly sighed that this young woman already had her own airstrip, then said, "I'll have more goods coming in a couple of days."

"No problem—General Manager Lu, I'm on call any time!" Li Lei beamed with joy, her cherry lips stretching ear to ear.

Internally, she was jubilant—doing business wasn't hard at all.

Then, Li Lei took out a professional storage box and patiently placed each Cordyceps inside.

Lu Yao didn't rush her and stepped outside the garage for some air. But then, he saw someone unexpected—his crowd of relatives had actually come!

~~~~~~~~

Leading them were his uncle and aunt, their faces tinged with joy and a hint of mutual wariness, as they were speaking about something.

Lu Yao, in a state of deep meditation, easily heard them from dozens of meters away—

His uncle, Lu Zhenghong, said confidently, "He hasn't answered his phone for days, he's probably dead by now. That he's only just now gasping for air shows he sure hung on."

His aunt anxiously asked, "If someone died at the house, does that mean it's worthless?"

The cousin scoffed, "What era is this? He merely died of illness, it's no big deal."

The group of people were talking as they arrived at the garage door, and their expressions instantly stiffened when they saw Lu Yao standing at the entrance.

Lu Yao smiled. "Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not dead yet." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Uncle Lu Zhenghong cleared his throat. "Lu Yao, you weren't answering your phone, so we got worried and came to check on you."

Lu Yao said with a sneer, "I'm fine. In fact, I'm in great health and plan to live a long life and get married. Maybe even have two wives~"

As he spoke, he even jumped a few times on the spot.

The faces of the group darkened, and his cousin said with a mixture of shock and suspicion, "Weren't they saying he was about to die of illness? He looks fine to me. What the hell is going on!"

But no one else could figure it out either and were unable to answer.

Lu Zhenghong said sternly, "Enough of this. Now that everyone's here, let's discuss Lu Yao's arrangements for after his passing."

But just as he finished speaking, Lu Yao's phone chimed: Alipay receipt—500,000 yuan.

Li Lei walked out from the garage and said nonchalantly, "I've transferred the money to you. Pleasure doing business! Eh... you have guests?"

~~~~~~~~

Several relatives stood frozen on the spot—

"Half a million? Didn't he sell that worthless company? Where's the money coming from!"

"Turns out he had other ways to make a fortune! Can't he leave it to us?"

Lu Zhenghong and his wife exchanged glances, but their faces actually lit up with joy—the more money their nephew had, the greater the benefits for them upon his death.

Watching this display of human nature, Lu Yao took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Let's make things clear. I've made a will and had it notarized—if I die, my house will be donated. You can stop wishing for it."

"What! Are you insane! We're family, we're blood relatives!"

These words immediately caused an uproar, and even the normally composed Uncle's family turned pale as crap.

They had been relying on their close blood relation and had never worried, but they hadn't expected Lu Yao to be so ruthless!

His aunt threatened on the spot, "Look here, Lu Yao, you better be careful. If you die, you might not even have anyone to attend your funeral!"

The other relatives crowded around, advising him, "Lu Yao, you're in the late stages of cancer. Have some consideration for us!"

Lu Yao didn't bother to argue with them anymore and turned to leave.

But the relatives were not willing to give up; they swarmed him, some berating, some begged earnestly, and others tried to pull at him, urging him to change his mind.

Lu Yao was in a state of Spirit Refinement; the chaotic crowd couldn't get close to him, and they almost fell to the ground themselves.

In the midst of the chaos, Li Lei shouted, "What are you doing! Lu Yao is still recuperating. You all can't wait for him to die—are you all beasts!!! Get lost~ Or I'll call the police!"

As she spoke, she took out her phone and started to dial.

Seeing that the young woman was serious about calling the police, the group, worried about making the social news, reluctantly left.

As they walked away, they blamed each other, filled with annoyance.

And they deeply regretted—not having put on an act when Lu Yao was gravely ill.

After the crowd dispersed, Lu Yao gave a self-deprecating smile. "Sorry you had to see that."

Li Lei had a complex expression, hesitating to speak.

Lu Yao waved. "Go ahead, and be careful with such valuable stuff."

"No worries, this is the city center, and right next to it is the municipal government family compound." Li Lei breathed a sigh of relief. "Then I'm off. Call me if you need anything."

"Bye~"

The girl strode to her car and smiled bitterly. "Ha, every family has its own troubles to read from the 'Scripture'."
