Chapter 13: Saving the Baron

On the large feather bed, Baron Andre, with white hair, wrinkled face and weak breathing, was sleeping in a daze.

Looking at the familiar face on the bed, Lu Feng's eyes unconsciously became moist.

The second brother in his memory was still a young, energetic and handsome young man.

Time passed quickly, and when they met again, the second brother Andre was already very old and seriously ill.

For a moment, Lu Feng was a little dazed.

Power, wealth, fortune and beauty in this world are ultimately fleeting clouds, and cannot last forever. As time passes, they will eventually turn into a handful of earth and disappear between heaven and earth.

After witnessing the power of time with his own eyes, Lu Feng’s determination to pursue immortality became even stronger.

Lu Feng was thoughtful about the changes in his mind, then he came to his senses and hurriedly checked his second brother's body.

Lifting the duvet, Andre's body under the silk pajamas was so thin that it was just skin and bones, and his limbs were like sticks.

If it weren't for the life seed born from the knight's cultivation in his heart, which was still emitting a faint vitality, Andre might not have been able to hold on until Lu Feng's return.

During Lu Feng's examination, Andre felt something vaguely, became slightly more awake, and opened his cloudy eyes with difficulty.

Lu Feng's blurry face came into Andre's sight.

"Brother, brother, you came back to see me! Father is gone, elder brother is gone, is it finally my turn now? At the last moment of my life, I can actually dream of my brother, I will die without regrets! But, my useless sons."

Andre's faint and confused nonsense reached Lu Feng's ears.

After checking Andre's body, Lu Feng already had a treatment plan in mind. Listening to his second brother's nonsense, Lu Feng smiled and said:

"Second brother, stop talking nonsense. I, your younger brother, am really back. Wait until I cure you, and then you can slowly deal with your unfilial sons!"

Lu Feng leaned close to Andre's ear and whispered softly.

Andre's body was obviously old, and at his age, the body naturally aged and broke down.

Although Lu Feng doesn't have the ability to make Andre live a hundred years, he is sure that he can restore Andre's body and live another two or three years.

When he was planning to come back, Lu Feng took his second brother's situation into consideration, and specially spent one-tenth of his family fortune to buy a bottle of life-extending potion from the Botanical Garden.

[Degraded version of Tears of Life Potion]

The genuine Tears of Life potion can extend the life of a third-class wizard apprentice by twenty years. One bottle of the potion requires tens of thousands of magic stones.

Lu Feng only spent three thousand magic stones to make the degraded version of the Tears of Life potion. The life-extending effect is far inferior to the original one, but it can still be used to extend Andre's life by two or three more years.

Lu Feng's original plan was to use the potion to allow Andre to live a little longer, and then guide Andre to break through the knight's cultivation and become a great knight, so that he could live another twenty or thirty years.

Lu Feng, a third-class apprentice, could probably live to about 140 or 150 years old. His second brother Andrei could live to about 70 or 80 years old, which could be considered a natural death.

However, now that he has discovered the world of earthly immortals and obtained the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra, this technique is first-class in its ability to prolong life.

If he could study this technique thoroughly, localize it, and turn it into a method suitable for spreading in the wizarding world.

Then let the second brother Andre learn it. Even if he only learns the basics, once he gets the hang of it, he can live longer than the great knight.

May you live a long and prosperous life, and have a promising future.

While Lu Feng was thinking about the questions about the Qingmu Changsheng Sutra, his hands kept moving and he carried his second brother Andre's old body off the bed.

After dealing with the eldest brother's men, Houston rushed to Andre's room not long after.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his father, Andre, sitting in a bathing tub, soaking in a bucket of emerald green potion.

And his Uncle Rest was casting a spell, raising a flame in his hand to heat the emerald green potion in the wooden barrel.

The warm water vapor diffuses, adding a freshness of grass and trees to the room.

Houston felt warm all by just taking a whiff, and his breathing became faster due to the red leaf infusion passed down from his family.

While admiring his uncle's might, Houston looked at his father in the barrel and opened his mouth to ask about his father's condition.

"Shh!"

Lu Feng put his finger on his lips and pointed at Andre in the barrel, signaling Houston to keep quiet.

Seeing Uncle Rest's gesture, Houston quickly swallowed the words he was about to say and tiptoed into the room.

As he got closer, Houston saw his father in the mist rising from the wooden barrel. His old face had become a little more rosy and he looked much better.

As his chest rose and fell, his breathing became stronger.

Uncle, can you really save my father?

Seeing the changes in Andre, Houston looked at Lu Feng with expectation, hoping that his uncle could perform a miracle on his father.

Lu Feng looked at the changes in Houston and nodded.

The second brother's third son, this kid named Houston, looks pretty good. Although he is not very capable and doesn't know how to intrigue, he can still be a good heir.

If they are weak, Lu Feng can still help them, but if they are evil-hearted, Lu Feng is powerless. He can only send them to see his old father and let the previous Baron Hongye teach them.

Two hours later, the emerald green potion in the wooden barrel had gradually become clear as Andre absorbed it.

Andre's body was too weak and he was almost exhausted. Any medicine was too strong for him.

Lu Feng had no choice but to dilute a bottle of vitality potion into a wooden barrel of warm water, allowing Andre to slowly absorb the essence of the plants and replenish his nutrition.

"Clean up your father and put him to bed!"

Lu Feng instructed Houston.

Hearing this, Houston gently wiped the water off Andre's body, then carefully carried his father to bed and covered him with a down quilt.

"I fed Andre a bottle of vitality potion, which replenished some energy and nutrition and can restore some vitality to his aging body. You stay here and let Andre have a good sleep. Wait until he wakes up tomorrow morning and notify me! I still have some things to do!"

Looking at Houston's actions, Lu Feng began to give instructions.

"Uncle, I understand! The butler is just outside the door. If you need anything, just ask him."
