Chapter 505: The Miracle Drug

The people surrounding Lu Yu were all very puzzled.

This child is not very old, and his cultivation level is only at the first stage. There is nothing special about him.

Everyone was staring at the child. Qian Hai even stepped forward to feel the boy’s bones, frowning as he remarked, “His bone structure is fairly balanced, but nothing special. Without extraordinary abilities, he might at best reach the Star Lord stage, which would be his limit. A single drop of evolution liquid could turn this child into a Supreme, though reaching the top among hundreds of Supremes would be the peak.”

Humans, who began growing from the very start of the apocalypse, have gradually come to recognize the gap between human physical abilities and those of demons and other life forms, as they continue to evolve.

Like children born after the apocalypse, many organizations began testing the physical constitution of children during their recruitment to assess how much potential they could develop in the future.

Star Lord, Demon Lord, and other such beings have become as numerous as cow hairs these days; they’re nothing special anymore.

Qian Hai stated the growth limit of the child. Many people stepped forward to test it and nodded in agreement with Qian Hai’s statement.

Yet, it only made everyone even more puzzled.

The child, being stared at by a group of highly skilled individuals, felt like a little lamb surrounded by wolves, constantly shrinking back into his parents’ arms, trembling all over with fear.

Someone frowned and said, “Mr. Lu, there’s nothing particularly special about this child. What exactly are you trying to show us?”

“It can’t be one of the Nine Mutated Star Souls,” Qian Hai muttered, his eyes widening as he fixed his gaze on the child.

If this child is indeed one of the Nine Great Star Souls, then giving him a Supreme Star Weapon just now would have helped build a closer relationship. It would make things easier later on when trying to gain his allegiance.

Think about Lu Yu, one of the Nine Star Souls—what level of power does he possess now?

Some say there are two warriors with the Nine Star Souls in the Tian Shen Organization, both being aces of the organization.

If this child is also one of the Nine Great Star Souls, no matter the cost, we must win him over.

The more Qian Hai thought about it, the more pleased he became.

He had merely given away a star soldier as a favor to Lu Yu earlier, not expecting it to have such an effect.

“Definitely not a mutated Star Soul; this is just an ordinary one,” someone said, shaking their head.

He has a unique method to detect star souls. Although he can only sense the weaker ones, it’s still a rare special ability.

Now, this child here is too ordinary, too common.

They really couldn’t see anything different about the child.

Lu Yu had been watching these people discuss and debate until they finally fell silent. Only then did he speak: “Everyone, isn’t he quite ordinary? And his Star Soul is merely first-class, correct?”

Everyone nodded in understanding, yet they remained puzzled, unsure of what Lu Yu was about to say.

Lu Yu pulled the child closer to him, then solemnly took out a small bottle from his chest and said, “You all watch carefully, for I will only demonstrate this once. If you fail to see it clearly, I won’t waste another drop. The value of this substance will soon become apparent to you all.”

Nearly two thousand people had already gathered around. When they heard Lu Yu speak in this manner, they couldn’t help but be deeply moved.

Lu Yu was very satisfied.

Their curiosity was successfully aroused.

Some people had already run to higher ground upon hearing Lu Yu’s words. Apart from curiosity, they didn’t believe that anything on Lu Yu would be trash.

Lu Yu reached into his storage space and pulled out a small bottle.

He carefully poured a single drop of liquid from the small bottle.

A mercury-like liquid hovered ten centimeters above Lu Yu’s palm, its surface shimmering with a faint golden glow.

“Huh, this is the Evolution Serum. No, wait—it’s somewhat different. This aura feels similar, yet not quite the same.”

People around shook their heads, murmured softly, and then watched as Lu Yu handed the liquid to the child.

The child looked at his parents, who nodded vigorously, appearing somewhat excited.

The two of them suspected something, but they couldn’t be sure.

However, both of them believe that today is their child’s lucky day.

The child took the liquid and looked at Lu Yu.

“Eat it, it will do you good,” Lu Yu said with a smile and a nod.

The surrounding breaths suddenly stopped, and every pair of eyes fixated on that single drop of liquid, knowing that this moment was the most critical.

The child, having just received permission from the parents, put the liquid into his mouth without the slightest hesitation.

People all around became tense, watching closely to see what changes would happen to the child.

The child was also confused and turned to his parents, saying, “My body feels a bit warm.”

“Crack!”

A sudden, faint sound, as if a bone had broken, came from the child’s body.

He was startled, and even his parents were startled as well.

However, the child did not cry out in pain, but instead looked down in confusion.

Everyone lowered their heads to look at the child’s legs.

A ten-year-old child, already almost 1.4 meters tall. The pants he originally wore were just the right length, but now they are becoming a bit too short.

“He’s grown taller,” someone realized suddenly. It wasn’t a bone breaking earlier, but rather the child’s bones stretching and growing.

Lu Yu’s height stopped growing after reaching four feet and seven inches, and even his facial features matured slightly.

Someone said in disappointment, “Medicine that makes you taller? What’s the use of that? Growing twenty centimeters won’t even enhance one’s strength.”

Qian Hailian whispered urgently, “Don’t speak, quickly look. This child’s body is still changing.”

Eyes near and far were all fixed on the child’s body.

At this moment, the child finally cried out in pain, then struggled and threw himself into his mother’s arms, sobbing, “It hurts, my whole body hurts. Mom, all my muscles hurt.”

The child’s parents were taken aback and immediately grabbed the child, anxiously checking them over.

They pulled up the child’s sleeve, and a collective gasp echoed around, with eyes nearly popping out in shock.

The child’s arms and legs had originally been very thin. Now, however, the muscles on the child’s arms were twitching and beginning to take shape, actually growing. Moreover, they could even feel the child’s skeleton starting to grow larger and thicker.

Qian Hai said excitedly, “If this continues, his physical condition will improve. Once he starts growing, he’ll be a completely different person from who he was just now. This is a pill that can change a person’s physical constitution and enhance their potential.”

At this moment, many people became interested, feeling that the medicine was finally demonstrating its true value.

The child’s parents were even more excited.

They have been constantly worried about their child’s future development simply because the child is thin and weak.

But now they don’t have to worry anymore.

The child was crying, and it was clear that these changes were causing him a lot of pain.

The child’s parents held him tightly, their voices trembling as they said, “Xiao Niu, bear with it, you must bear with it. Endure the pain, endure it well—this is a rare opportunity for you.”

The man looked at Lu Yu with excitement.

Now he understood why Lu Yu had come looking for his child.

His child was not in good health, but it was precisely this condition that highlighted the effectiveness of the liquid drop.

With the ability to change one’s physical constitution, this liquid is simply not something they can afford.

This time, Lu Yu set his sights on the child, which was also a fortunate opportunity for the child. If they wanted to buy something like this in the future, they wouldn’t have so much money to spend.

“No, his strength is starting to grow too!” someone shrieked, pointing at the boy, their voice cracking with alarm.

“This is a medicinal herb that can transform one’s physical constitution and enhance one’s strength.”

Innumerable eyes turned toward Lu Yu, burning with intensity.

Those who have walked through the end of the world from the very beginning understand this deeply. A person’s physical fitness determines their future achievements.

If this child used to be strong enough to reach the Star Lord level, then now, after growing up, it would be no problem for him to become a Supreme Being.

When the physical constitution is improved, the corresponding potential will also be enhanced.

This child’s future has already been changed.

This single drop of liquid changed a child’s future.

Qian Hai said excitedly, “At least five hundred statues. This is the potential of at least five hundred statues.”

His strength is increasing; he actually managed to enhance his power even further.

The child’s body, including his flesh and bones, kept moving and strengthening during the split second he advanced from level one to level two.

The second-level star soul is still evolving…

Level three, level four, level five, level six…

Everyone’s expression changed.

What kind of medicine is this? It’s amazing!

When the child’s power reached the ninth level, it directly broke through the limit of ten trillion, with flesh continuously writhing and evolving.

Everyone could already see the developing muscle groups forming on the child’s body, and his physique was becoming more well-proportioned.

“My God, the Demon Lord has reached the limit. Twenty trillion, this is the attribute value of twenty trillion,” someone shouted.

The child’s parents were almost in tears.

This opportunity is once in a lifetime; this drop of liquid is priceless. For his child to obtain it without spending a single penny, how incredibly fortunate that would be.

Boom!

The child’s aura changed, directly breaking through the limits of the Star Lord and becoming a Half Supreme Being.

The power of five million trillion drove everyone around crazy.

This medicine is too amazing; it’s even more powerful than the evolution elixir.

Directly becoming a Half-Sovereign, and his power continues to grow.

The movement of flesh and the changes in muscles and bones on the child’s body began to cease.

However, the child’s power continued to rise until it reached the peak of Sovereign, at which point it stopped.

Everyone was speechless, standing frozen in place, motionless for a long time.

Lu Yu stood still without moving, his lips slightly upturned, clearly satisfied with the outcome.

Qian Hai took a quick step forward to stand in front of the child, touching the child’s body once again. He said emotionally, “Everything has changed, everything has changed. Even if this child only has an ordinary star soul, he will certainly possess at least a thousand zhen of combat power in the future. This is a miracle, an incredible miracle!”

He couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement.

In a flash, everyone gathered around, each taking turns to gently stroke the child’s body.

One by one, they were all filled with astonishment.

If they hadn’t just witnessed the process themselves, they would never have believed such a miracle could exist.

A single drop of medicine makes astounding that a child has undergone such a dramatic metamorphosis.

The potential of this child has been maximally activated, perhaps even surpassing the limits.

A single drop of medicine, that’s all it was—just a single drop of medicine.

Lu Yu said earnestly, “If you still don’t understand, I won’t demonstrate a second time. This medicine is too precious for me to waste.”

“Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you so much!” The child’s parents were overwhelmed with gratitude. They pressed their child down onto the ground and made him kowtow to Lu Yu three times.

No matter what his intentions were, Lu Yu still managed to provide for his child.

Qian Hai was the first to react, excitedly exclaiming, “Mr. Lu, I need ten drops of this medicine, ten drops!”

“Qian Hai, what the hell are you grabbing for? If you take ten drops, what’s left for us?”

“We need twenty drops for our organization.”

“Mr. Lu, I’ve made the decision. The British military wants fifty drops, and the price is negotiable.”

Everyone recognized the value of this medicine.

Lu Yu was only looking for an ordinary person, yet such a person was able to unleash tremendous potential.

An ordinary child who was at most a Star Lord has had his potential rise to at least the strength of a Thousand Sovereigns. This kind of enhancement is more than just a hundredfold increase.

If a child has tremendous talent and potential, how much improvement can they achieve?

Moreover, this allows a child to ascend directly from the lowest stage to the highest level of cultivation, a promotion equivalent to saving several years, even over a decade, of arduous training.

Even the warrior of the humanoid race was moved.

Their warriors already had great potential; what would be the result if they enhanced it even further with this medicine?

“Lu Yu, we are willing to exchange a large amount of Blue Planet Souls and Evolution Fluids.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll go inform the elders right away,” said a serpent-like being before quickly leaving.
