Chapter 3: Refined Work Method (1)


Luo Zheng did not care if he was demoted to a servant or a punching bag for the children of the Luo Clan. And even the Heaven and Earth Rebirth Pill that once belonged to him had been snatched away by Luo Piran-- he did not care.


But his one and only sister, Luo Yan, that was his weakness!


Luo Yan was the only hope for the Luo Clan. Due to her high talent, she had been accepted as an inner disciple of Clear Heaven Sect at the mere age of thirteen and left the Luo Clan. Thus, she was able to survive from the chaos within the clan.


For the past two years, because of his status as mere servant, Luo Zheng had not been able to find anything of his sister, but after hearing from Luo Pei, his sister seemed to have found herself in a precarious situation.


He'd even forgotten to dodge the Luo Clan's disciple beating him black and blue, and suffered several solid punches before reacting…


At dusk, with pain aching his body, Luo Zheng returned back to the cellar.


“This is your medicine!” The Luo Clan's steward hurled down a paper bag and left.


Meat targets like were not made of steel, after all. If there were no medicine to treat injuries, they would die a few days after due to accumulated internal injuries. Therefore, the Luo Clan would distribute medicine to the meat targets of the Luo Clan every day.


However, meat targets often incurred injuries, and the healing effect of the medicine was not very good.


Luo Zheng opened the paper bag. Only one pill was inside. His face darkened as he shouted, "Steward Fang, why is there only one pill today?!"


"What about it? Still not enough?" Steward Fang said shamelessly.



"The Luo Clan distributes three healing pills every day, yet, there is only one pill inside. It is clear that you are being greedy. In the Luo Clan, being greedy is a serious crime. Steward Fang, are you not afraid of death?" Luo Zheng shouted in a stern voice as he looked at Steward Fang.


"Heh! Of course, I, Old Fang, am scared, but I'm not afraid of a little servant like you. What about it? You'll rebel? I'm the lord in this place, and I control you! Why don't you look at yourself first. It seems you haven't looked in the mirror lately! Ha-ha-ha-ha!" Steward Fang's word was ear-piercing.


Hearing this, Luo Zheng calmed down. His bright eyes looked at Steward Fang indifferently. In this pools of eyes hid a deep killing intent. It was as if he was looking at an inanimate object.



Seeing Luo Zheng's indifference, Steward Fang felt a chill in his back. He cleared his throat, walked up to Luo Zheng, and pointed at his chest. "Do you want to eat people while looking at me like that?"


Suddenly, a strong force was exerted on Luo Zheng's chest. With a violent shake, the force was transferred to Steward Fang, causing him to stagger and fall to the ground.


"You… You, a mere servant, want to rebel?" Steward Fang stood up from the ground with a panicked expression on his face.


Luo Zheng took two steps forward and pinched his fingers together to emit a bone-cracking sound as he said harshly, "Do you really think I won't dare to touch a mere steward with a foreign surname who dares to be so arrogant?"


Seeing this, Steward Fang took a big gulp and did not tarry any further. He quickly ran outside and slammed the iron door shut.


"What a despicable man!" Luo Zheng laughed coldly and shook his head, too lazy to bother with such a person.


He quietly sat down and pulled out a fire piston to light the oil lamp. Thereafter, he hastily flipped through a few pages of books whilst worrying about the well-being of his sister, Luo Yan.


I can't stay in the Luo Clan anymore! However, I am only at the Refining Flesh Stage. Let alone going to Clear Heaven Sect, I'd not be able to leave the Luo Clan's cellar.



Luo Zheng walked quickly in the narrow cellar, his chest heaving up and down like a trapped beast unable to find an exit.


"Strength… My strength is still too weak. Otherwise, how could a little Luo Clan be able to trap me?"


In this world, cultivation is done step by step. As a servant, he is fodder for target every day, beaten black and blue by others every day--he had not the time to cultivate. If he continued this lifestyle, sooner or later, he'd be beaten to death.


The more he thought of this, the more anxious he became. He then cast his gaze towards the table where the word out "Question of the Constitution of the Heavenly Dao" laid in wait.


"This kind of broken book is full of principles and laws, but so completely useless to me. What's the point of reading it…?" Luo Zheng angrily picked up the book and tore it open. He placed the torn book on top of the oil lamp and set it on fire.


A flame the size of a bean ignited the book in the blink of an eye, causing it to burst into flames.


Looking at the gradually burning book, Luo Zheng felt a tinge of regret in his heart.



Luo Zheng… Ah, Luo Zheng, why do you have to vent your anger on a book? This book taught people to be kind. What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you is that you are too weak and can be easily manipulated by others to become their lamb for slaughter!


It was pity. The fire burned so brightly that it had already turned the book into ashes.


Just as he was drowned in his anger, Luo Zheng suddenly saw a strand of golden light within the ashes.


"Eh..? What is this?"


Luo Zheng pushed away the ashes and picked up the wisp of golden light only to find a thin gold leaf.


Previously, when he flipped through the book, he did not find this golden leaf. He presumed this golden leaf was hidden within the layers of the book.


What is the use of this golden leaf, he thought.


The thing that was not lacking in this world was gold! Especially large clans like the Luo Clan, gold was as cheap as dirt!


But when Luo Zheng's eyes focused on the golden leaf, a phenomenon suddenly rose!


On the golden leaf, there was a dense seal carved with characters that looked like tadpoles. Luo Zheng did not recognize any of these characters.


With a sweep of his eyes, the golden leaf quickly disintegrated into thousands of small foil. Each small golden foil contained a tadpole character; these small golden foil pasted itself onto Luo Zheng.


His face… Eyes… Neck… Arms… Body… Legs…
