Lord of Rot

Chapter 153 This tempered body of steel (page 12)

In the dense forest, the five griffon grasses that were strictly protected have matured and look exactly like the one Li Qi got in the bear cave last year.

Because of the existence of extraordinary bees before, he put more thought into protection, not only against small beasts, but also against mosquitoes.

If an extraordinary mosquito appears one day and takes advantage of it to act at will in winter, it will definitely be a disaster!

Fortunately no problems arose.

He gently dug through the soil with his hands and dug out one of them. Magic herbs may have transplantation and storage techniques, but Li Qi did not master them, so he could only hope that the remaining four magic herbs would wither later. , at least until he finds four more cost-effective corpses to make extraordinary corpses.

After returning to Porcupine Castle, he began to prepare the medicine, operating exactly according to what was recorded in the book.

Add adjuvants, steep, and then distill in a small still.

The water vapor gathered through the iron pipe and fell into the small bowl prepared by Li Qi in advance.

In a short time, a bowl has been collected, and the ointment in the pot has been completely burned and turned into a paste.

Mix some of the herbs reserved in advance with the distilled medicine to form a somewhat thin ointment.

All preparations had been completed. Li Qi took off his clothes and took a shower first, then called the valet Pitchfork to apply medicine for himself.

The brush was lightly dipped in ointment and swept onto Li Qi's back, leaving a wet mark.

boom!

A hot feeling surged into Li Qi's body.

His back seemed to be pressed against a red-hot stove.

He trembled slightly.

"Sir, are you okay?" Pitchfork was very worried and did not dare to continue applying the medicine.

"Continue!" Li Qi gritted his teeth and said.

"Yes!"

With the lord's orders, Pitchfork could only obediently continue to apply the ointment.

Another brush, covering most of his back, and the blazing heat almost engulfed him.

In pain, Li Qi found that a strange power seemed to have poured into his body, but this power did not stay for long before it poured directly into his body and penetrated into his bones and flesh.

Under the skin, blood vessels bulged and muscles tensed, as if he had transformed into a swollen muscle monster.

After applying the potion, Pitchfork left the room, and Li Qi had to resist it for the rest of the time.

The area where the ointment had been applied was red, but after the burning sensation disappeared, the skin quickly returned to normal.

After the painful application, Li Qi waited until the burning sensation completely disappeared.

but……

Li Qi looked in the mirror.

"Muscle Monster" Li Qi looked at his body.

A handsome face is placed on an exaggerated body that is extremely inconsistent with the face.

"Nezha?"

He stretched out his hand and gestured on his head: "I seem to have grown taller."

The arms naturally droop, but cannot be lowered and can only be hung. This is a "hidden back" caused by overdeveloped back muscles.

Is this a success or a failure?

He absorbed the energy of the ointment, but became an exaggeratedly muscular man.

"This body is as strong as steel that has been tempered thousands of times." He didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Li Qi held his nerve and tried to use the experience he gained from the extraordinary corpse Aina on himself.

Extraordinary power is a special kind of power that exists within the body.

Maybe it now exists in the bones and muscles, and he should guide it to make the power operate more regularly. It is simple to say, but without Aina's experience, Li Qi would probably only be able to maintain a moderately exaggerated state.

Breathe and adjust your body.

Li Qi looked in the mirror and could clearly see his body shrinking. At first, he looked like a water balloon filled with too much water. Now he finally found a chance to vent. His body shrank as if deflated, and soon returned to normal.

Those powers have not disappeared, but are circulating and hidden in his body.

In feeling, this kind of power is different from spiritual power, and even different from the supernatural corpse Aina.

Maybe they are different in nature? Aina's ability is biased toward self-recovery, while Li Qi's, currently manifested in physical form, will make him very strong.

"But I have indeed grown taller." Li Qi took a pair of trousers and put them on, lifting them up to his waist.

Looking down, the trousers turned into cropped trousers.

Changes in bones cannot be reversed.

Fortunately, it's only a little taller, not a tall one.

The sleeves are also short.

At dusk, the tailor entered the castle carrying a small box.

In Li Qi's room.

"It's normal for your body to continue to grow at your age." The tailor took Li Qi's measurements and said, "Maybe you don't pay attention to it. This means that your body is very healthy and your figure is really good. Those sculptures The house will go crazy about your body.”

The tailor did not hesitate to praise him, and he told the truth. He had never seen anyone with a figure like Li Qi's.

Li Qi accepted the compliment with a smile.

He did have a good figure before, but because he didn't disconnect often, his body fat was a bit high.

Now the body muscles are controlled by "magic" and become just right, like sculptures.

The previously "droopy" locals also turned into hot-bodied corpses due to the effect of the potion.

"I need all new clothes from summer to winter, as well as boots. I feel like my feet are a little bigger." Li Qi said his request: "Try to keep it simple and don't put too many decorations."

"Of course, my lord!" The tailor nodded quickly.

The clothes I wore before were either bad or too fancy, so I just took this opportunity to change them all.

Li Qi lived a relatively frugal life. Although he had some money, he only ordered 30 sets of clothes in the end, of which a few dresses accounted for the majority. The work was long, complicated, and expensive.

The total cost is 3 gold days.

An excellent war horse is just gone!

He is already considered a noble with a low-to-middle consumption level. As far as he knows, the wife of Bol II has 27 dresses, changing one every day. She wears them for years, and as far as Li Qi knows, the Queen The total number of dresses is still increasing steadily. Every year during festivals, birthdays, dances, etc., someone will give her dresses. I am afraid that the queen will not be able to wear out all her clothes in her lifetime.

More than 10,000 dresses have also become a talk among the nobility.

It is normal for ordinary nobles to own hundreds, hundreds or even thousands of pieces of clothing.

There are only 30 sets. It can be said that Li Qi is simply an aristocrat who is thrifty and thrifty.

……

At the training ground, the soldiers gathered together and changed their equipment.

Under the order, they all put on full body armor.

After successfully digging the headland crypt, Li Qi spent a lot of money on it. The blacksmith factory, mason construction team, carpenter workshop, brick kiln factory, etc. all increased investment and the scale increased sharply.

Only some old and weak civilians are still farming, and all the younger people are working in these departments.

Of course, what he spent a lot of money in exchange for was a hundred soldiers from the terrifying Porcupine Leader, all of whom were put on armor in a short period of time.
