Just when Xie Feng was thinking about how to make the old man at the potion store pay the price for the mission he accomplished, he suddenly remembered that yesterday, before he went offline, he had gone up two levels.

He looked at his available basic attribute points and saw that, certainly, there were 10 free points to be used.

However, he did not apply those points immediately. Previously, Xie Feng had planned to add those points to Intelligence in order to increase his magic attack, but suddenly he began to feel slightly uncomfortable.

His instinct seemed to warn him that something bad was about to happen.

Not knowing the reason, Xie Feng's hand moved to the attribute he trusts most: strength.

He added the 10 available status points to STR, then equipped the following objects:

[Wild Boar Boots]

Equipment grade: Iron

Equipment requirements: Level 5 / 8 STR

Properties: Defense +7 / Movement speed +3

Note: Because they are made of Wild Boar skin they are extremely resistant.

Note: Together with a pair of pants, your lower body will be safer!

[Curved Sword]

After equipping all the objects he got from killing red-eyed wolves, Xie Feng looked at his status window with anticipation.

Looking at his new status window, Xie Feng's eyes lit up slightly. Anyone could notice the clear improvement in his statistics during this time.

Although he is still weak and most of his items are steel grade, when he reaches level 10 he will be able to equip bronze and silver grade items.

Xie Feng closed his status window and began walking toward the beginner's village. He has a mission to deliver.

_________

After walking for several minutes, Xie Feng arrived at the potion store.

Upon entering, he immediately saw Xiao Lei with the same lazy look as before. Seeing this, the corner of Xie Feng's mouth rose slightly as he wondered how long this old man could keep his cool.

Xie Feng coughed slightly to get Xiao Lei's attention, causing him to open his eyes and ask casually:

"You brat, do you have the grass I asked for or not?"

Although he seemed indifferent about it, Xie Feng could feel a slight tremor in the man's eyes; which assured him even more that the Spotted Lotus was important to Xiao Lei.

Xie Feng didn't say a word and silently pulled the grass out of the inventory.

Xiao Lei, usually calm, stood up and tried to take the grass quickly. However, Xie Feng seemed to expect something like this as he quickly removed it.

Xie Feng ignored Xiao Lei's annoying glance and asked casually:

"Senior, do you know how I was able to get this Stained Lotus herb?"

Xiao Lei frowned and said with some impatience in his tone:

"What does that have to do with me? You accomplish the request, I reward you. That's how things work."

Xie Feng again ignored Xiao Lei's words and continued talking:

"First I looked for the herb for about 5 hours without success, but I don't mind too much the fact that I didn't find it. Just as I was about to log out and continue the search the next day a monster appeared. The level of the monster was 10, that is 6 levels higher than me."

Speaking here, Xie Feng's voice grew cold and looked at Xiao Lei with indifference:

"The problem is that this monster was not only more than 5 levels above me, the monster was also a Lord degree beast! Now you tell me, do you think that we; players, have the capacity to defeat such a beast casually? You should know that such a monster needs to be surrounded by more than 20 players of the same level to have a chance of success."

When Xiao Lei heard about a beast with 6 levels above, his look was casual and indifferent. But when he heard Xie Feng talk about a Lord grade monster, his eyes opened slightly.

Xiao Lei understood what this meant. Xie Feng holds the Spotted Lotus in his hands, this can only mean one thing:

"You...defeated a beast of level 10 grade Lord, being only level 4?"

Xie Feng rolled his eyes and again ignored the words of Xiao Lei. He continued to speak with indifference:

"To complete this mission, I had to risk losing all my lev-...cough...1 level. Do you think I will give you this herb casually?"

Xiao Lei this time said nothing for a while. He stared into Xie Feng's eyes for more than 5 minutes as if he were thinking about something.

Just as Xie Feng was beginning to become slightly anxious, Xiao Lei closed his eyes and seemed to make a decision:

"Kid, hand me the Spotted Lotus and come back in 20 minutes. I promise a reward that will leave you satisfied."

Xie Feng squinted his eyes and stared at Xiao Lei for several seconds.

Xie Feng saw many wrinkles on his face, his hair was almost completely white, his back was slightly bent forward and his eyes were glowing with the vicissitudes of life. But what Xie Feng saw most in Xiao Lei's body at this time was sincerity, pride and a touch of supplication.

Xie Feng is a person who has a lot of confidence in his eyes as he watches people. Therefore, he simply took the Spotted Lotus out of the inventory and put it on the store stand.

He turned around and left the store in silence. Meanwhile, Xiao Lei watched his back until he disappeared across the street.

After Xie Feng left, Xiao Lei took the Stained Lotus very carefully, as if he were touching a baby, and went to the back of the store.

Xiao Lei opened a wooden door; the wood was so old that it creaked loudly when it was opened.

The interior of the room was extremely simple but also extremely clean, evidently Xiao Lei cleaned this room every day.

A bed, a small night table and a chair. Other than that, there was nothing else.

Xiao Lei approached the side of the bed and put the Spotted Lotus on the bedside table, then he watched the person in the bed.

An elderly woman of about 50 was lying with her eyes closed.

Xiao Lei gently caressed the woman's face, then he put the Stained Lotus in his mouth and ate it. Soon, Xiao Lei's appearance began to change.

The wrinkles on his face disappeared completely, his hunched back straightened out, his almost completely white hair turned completely black and his eyes shone brightly.

In just a few seconds, Xiao Lei went from being a 50-year-old man to a man in his 30s.

Xiao Lei knelt on the floor and kissed the old woman who was in bed with her eyes closed. A green light came from inside Xiao Lei's mouth and entered the sleeping old woman's mouth.

The old woman's body began to rejuvenate with the naked eye and several minutes later she had become a beautiful woman of 30 years.

After finishing, Xiao Lei stood up. However, his appearance had returned to that of a 50-60 year old man.

He looked at the young woman on the bed and saw that one of her hairs turned white just a minute after it was black.

Xiao Lei's eyes shone with a complex look. He kissed the woman on the forehead and left the room, trying not to make any noise.

Soon, the room became silent again. The only difference is that, instead of an old woman, a young lady was resting on the bed.
