C10 Body training
Early the next morning, in the Lu family's small courtyard, Lu Fan was watching a bunch of craftsmen going in and out of his courtyard, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Lu Fan, what do you think? Do you like mahogany furniture? Or pears."
Lu Hao smiled brightly as he stood at the side and said to Lu Fan.
Lu Fan slowly said, "Actually, my original residence was pretty good."
Lu Hao shook his head, "No, Lu Fan, you live in such a shabby place. So it turns out that your father couldn't help you, but now that your grandfather has given the order to raise your status, your courtyard naturally has the demeanor of a noble family's young master. Originally, your grandfather wanted you to stay at the back of the Green Bamboo Garden. But I think this is where you grew up after all, so it's better to be familiar with this place. The courtyard expanded a bit, the furniture changed, and the house was renovated. In the past few days, the old tutor has asked you to accompany him. When this side is fixed, you can come back. "
Lu Hao patted Lu Fan's shoulder. He already understood the meaning behind his words, to let Lu Fan follow his grandfather and raise his cultivation.
Without a doubt, last night's test had allowed Lu Haoran to completely see Lu Fan's potential, so the Old Master was prepared to nurture Lu Fan by himself for a period of time.
Lu Fan nodded, "Okay father, I'll go over tonight."
Lu Hao left satisfied, and before he left, he gave Lu Fan a small bag of items. Opening it, he saw that inside was shockingly a bag of gold coins, a total of more than ten gold coins.
Lu Fan put it away with a smile. The money he had saved up for over ten years still wasn't as much as it had been in the blink of an eye.
However, money was indeed a good thing. He couldn't do without it.
Taking large strides, Lu Fan headed out. Since he couldn't cultivate at home, he decided to take a seat at his master's place and learn some useful things.
Last night, although the two of them were completely drunk, Wu Chen still patted his chest and guaranteed to Lu Fan that as long as Lu Fan spent all his time cultivating, within a year, with his help, Lu Fan would definitely be able to cultivate the Supreme Force and the Essence at the same time, laying the foundation for the cultivation pair that Wu Chen had mentioned.
Lu Fan was already a little impatient to see how his master could speed up his cultivation. If he could cultivate to the Eighth Layer of Body Refinement before next year's Yearly Sacrifice, he might even be able to enter Martial Arts School. That was his childhood dream!
Lu Fan quickened his pace. Along the way, the Children of the Lu Family s he passed on the way saw him and all of them whispered amongst themselves.
The gazes of jealousy and envy unceasingly fell on Lu Fan, but all of this was ignored by him.
Last night's performance had completely swept away his reputation as a good-for-nothing, and the one who replaced him was the demon-level character, Lu Fan. After all, raising three levels in a month was simply not a miracle. One could only call it a monster.
Lu Fan had also heard their names, but compared to trash Lu Fan, they were nothing. He happily accepted the title of genius that he had just obtained.
So what if he was a monster? He wished he could be even more monstrous.
When he was passing by the martial arts arena, Lu Fan astonishingly saw Zhang Yuehan, who was with Lu Ming.
This woman had just returned home for the new year, but he did not expect her to come again today.
When Lu Ming saw Lu Fan, he frowned, but Zhang Yuehan was looking at Lu Fan strangely. She had heard of Lu Fan's performance last night, but even now, she still couldn't believe it.
Lu Fan pretended as if he didn't see them, and continued walking in the direction of the main gate.
But right at this moment, Lu Ming suddenly called out to him.
"Lu Fan, stop right there."
Lu Fan stopped in his tracks, turned his head and looked towards Lu Ming, "Is there something you need?"
Lu Ming said coldly: "You injured my brother, what do you think happened? Lu Tiangang still can't move his arm. "
Lu Fan frowned. Lu Ming spoke as if Lu Fan wasn't his brother.
In fact, in terms of blood relation, he was closer to Lu Ming than him.
Lu Fan said, "Then what do you want?"
Lu Ming replied: "Nothing. I'm going to the academy soon, so I don't have time to deal with you right now. But in three months, when the big families of Jiang Lin city go hunting in the western mountains, I will definitely return. When that time comes, we shall happily come and fight. Let me see whether or not you are truly no longer trash. "
With regards to Lu Ming's provocation, which was of a lower level, Lu Fan really had no interest. However, when they were hunting in the West Mountain, everything would not be according to the Lu Family's rules. If Lu Ming really wanted to fight him, he would not be able to dodge.
"Whatever you want."
After Lu Fan said his piece, he turned around and left. Lu Ming looked at Lu Fan's back and said: "If it wasn't for my father stopping me, I would have beaten him up badly last night. Do you really think that it is possible for you to reach 6-dan already? "
Zhang Yuehan listened at the side and did not say a word.
She had been staring straight into Lu Fan's eyes. From the beginning to the end, Lu Fan really didn't want to look at her again.
"What happened to you, Yuehan?"
Lu Ming noticed that Zhang Yuehan was distracted and asked softly.
Zhang Yuehan shook his head: "I'm fine. Can you tell me the details of last night? How did he suddenly become strong? "
Lu Ming clenched his teeth: "Who the hell knows how he suddenly became so strong."
...
On the other side, Lu Fan had already arrived at Wu Chen's shop.
Seeing Lu Fan enter, Wu Chen immediately closed the door and said: "Go in."
After bringing Lu Fan to the store, what appeared in front of him was a wide courtyard with all kinds of wine jars placed against the walls. There was a small hut leaning against the wall at the furthest corner. It was obviously Wu Chen's room.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a huge three-legged cauldron. It was entirely black, with eight dragon mouths, exuding a majestic aura.
Wu Chen pointed at the cauldron and said, "From today onwards, you will cultivate here."
Lu Fan said in confusion, "Master, do you want me to cultivate in the courtyard or go into the cauldron?"
Wu Chen said: "Inside the cauldron. The first stage of Qi Cultivator, Body Refinement! "If you can't pass this stage, then don't even think about cultivating origin energy for your whole generation."
Lu Fan's eyelids twitched. Refining the body, this word sounded terrifying. It couldn't be that they were treating him as a medicinal pill, right?
Lu Fan walked over to the side of the cauldron. Wu Chen then said, "Take off your clothes. Let me give it a try and see how long you can last on the first day. With your innate talent, it will still be difficult to become a Qi Cultivator. Although I've already washed your bones and reborn you, I'm still a bit lacking. Therefore, the body tempering for the first stage is very important. The longer you try, the better it will be. "
Lu Fan remembered now. Legend has it that the Qi Cultivator was a person with exceptional talent, that ordinary people had no chance of cultivating it. But what exactly was the so-called genius? Thinking of this, Lu Fan asked, "Master, what kind of talent is needed to become a Qi Cultivator?"
Wu Chen said: "Mn, of course it's someone who has affinity with the heavens and earth, someone who has sufficient vital yin or elemental yang. For example, people who are born with control over water and fire, people who are not afraid of thunder, people who can use wind, etc.
Lu Fan's jaw dropped when he heard this. Indeed, he was proficient in talent. Compared to this, he was simply a 'useless trash'.
"Master, then do I still have any hope of becoming a Qi Cultivator? I'm so ordinary, so ordinary. "
Wu Chen chuckled, his expression revealing his confidence.
"Other Qi Cultivator cannot accept a disciple like you, but I can. Back then, I was also a person with poor talent. I had to work hard to reach the peak bit by bit. Let me tell you, on the path of training, there is nothing else but struggle. If you don't have any other talent, you might as well treat hard work as your own. In this world, there were many people who were gifted and talented. However, if one was determined to walk the path, one would be able to split the thorns and thistle the thorns. Those who would never give up were as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns. "What you need to do is to be a courageous person who will advance forward, and not a person who is complacent."
Lu Fan said solemnly, "Yes, Teacher."
Wu Chen waved his hand: "Alright, quickly go in."
Lu Fan took off his clothes and entered the cauldron with his upper body naked.
With such a huge cauldron, it wouldn't be a problem even if there were eight or ten people inside. Right at this moment, light began to shine from all around the cauldron. Then, Lu Fan saw the words appear. A series of words actually shot out into the air, radiating light akin to flames as they surged over.
In an instant, Lu Fan was surrounded by a sea of purple flames.
Outside, Wu Chen activated the cauldron fire, his left hand forming a fist, his right hand forming a palm.
The air currents in the small courtyard surged, the wind helped the fire grow stronger, and the purple flames surged.
Inside the cauldron, Lu Fan was in so much pain that he couldn't even speak. The pain he had experienced while practicing the Collapsing Mountain was nothing compared to this.
The deep pain made it impossible for Lu Fan to lose consciousness. He really wanted to jump out of the cauldron and escape the sea of fire. However,'s words were echoing in Lu Fan's head, as he tried to persevere for as long as possible.
Not only that, Lu Fan also felt that apart from pain, his body wasn't damaged at all. On the contrary, after looking inside, he could see that his skeleton of meridian were strengthening. It seemed that this kind of burning would help to strengthen his body.
Lu Fan forcefully held on, his entire body trembling violently.
Outside, Wu Chen had already stopped moving, quietly waiting for Lu Fan's result.
How many years had it been since he last activated the fire caldron? Wu Chen was very clear about the situation inside the cauldron.
The fire that he activated was called the Purple Heart Sky Fire and was specially used to burn people's source energy. In the past, Wu Chen had relied on this fire to become infamous in the Qi Refining world.
However, as long as the temperature was suitable, the Purple Heart Heavenly Flame could also be used to refine one's body. The most important thing was that it could stimulate one's vital yang and vital yin, allowing them to release their vital energy. The specific effects would naturally vary depending on the person, but it could be made up with time. This was how Wu Chen found the method to turn a person who could not become a Qi Cultivator into a Qi Cultivator.
Although it seemed easy, in reality, the Purple Heart Sky Flames and the mastery of fire were unique.
Wu Chen had already adjusted the fire to the extent that Lu Fan could accept it. As long as he survived the pain, he would experience the benefits.
Wu Chen quietly waited. To him, Lu Fan being able to hold on for even a moment was already pretty good. As long as Lu Fan could persevere for an hour every day, after a month, Wu Chen would be able to refine out Lu Fan's "Inherent skill". At that time, he could officially start cultivating the Qi Cultivator's techniques. At the same time, Lu Fan's body would also receive an enormous boost, which would probably help him quickly raise his Body Refinement cultivation.
After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the two incense sticks had already passed. However, Lu Fan still hadn't come out.
An hour passed, yet Lu Fan still had no reaction.
This time, it was Wu Chen's turn to be shocked. If not for the fact that he could still smell the rough breathing of the cauldron, he really would have thought that Lu Fan had fainted.
Wu Chen really wanted to see how long Lu Fan could last. Could it be that he was born with no pain?
Time quietly flowed by. Finally, after four hours, the Purple Heart Sky Fire was the first to burn out.
Only until now did Lu Fan finally leap out of the fire caldron.
The completely red Lu Fan let out a loud roar, and as if venting his anger, he threw a punch onto the ground.
However, his punch carried a purple flame with it.
With a loud bang, a deep crater was created on the ground. The purple flames burned the ground and then disappeared without a trace.
