The person who came was Lu Dayou, the steward in charge of all the chores in the Lu Family.
Before Lu Changsheng's accident, this Lu Dayou would have knelt and kowtowed to curry favor with Lu Changsheng whenever he saw him.
However, Lu Changsheng disliked such sycophantic individuals, so he always ignored him.
Now that Lu Changsheng had become a cripple who couldn't Cultivate and was reduced to a chore boy, Lu Dayou immediately changed his attitude.
"Are you deaf? Can't you understand human speech?"
"Useless! I told you to kneel, kowtow, and bark like a dog! Hurry up!"
Lu Dayou roared.
He stepped into the thatched hut, his fists clenched.
A faint white light pulsed on his fists, emitting subtle fluctuations.
Body Tempering Realm, Third Heaven!
On this Spirit Domain Continent, where martial arts reigned supreme, the Cultivation Realms were divided into: Body Tempering Realm, Martial Artist Realm, Martial Master Realm, Martial General Realm, Martial King Realm, Martial Emperor Realm, Martial Venerable Realm, Martial Saint Realm, and Martial God Realm.
There were nine major Realms in total, and each Realm was further divided into Nine Heavens.
Boom!
Lu Dayou took a step and punched fiercely at Lu Changsheng.
The wind from his fist howled!
Lu Changsheng recognized it at a glance; it was the Lu Family's second-grade martial art, the Hongjian Fist Technique.
It was created by Lu Hongjian, the current Family Head of the Lu Family.
"Hahahaha!"
"Break your legs, steal your tianxuan token, and Young Master Lu Yang will surely reward me handsomely!"
Lu Dayou's eyes gleamed with excitement, and his fist had already reached Lu Changsheng's face.
But at this very moment.
He saw.
Lu Changsheng suddenly stood up and threw a punch, clashing with him!
Before he could even be surprised, Lu Dayou felt an intense pain that made his vision blur!
Crack!
This was the sound of bones breaking!
Lu Changsheng's punch had directly broken his arm, with fractured bones protruding through the flesh, looking incredibly gruesome.
"You dog-wielding scoundrel!"
"Lu Yang sent you to take my tianxuan token?"
Lu Changsheng stomped on Lu Dayou's chest, breaking several ribs and causing Lu Dayou to wail.
"How is this possible? Your Dantian is already shattered; you're just a cripple!"
"How can you possess such power!"
Lu Dayou couldn't believe it was true.
"Answer my question!"
Lu Changsheng kicked Lu Dayou in the stomach, sending him flying.
The entire thatched hut collapsed behind him, raising a cloud of dust.
"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
"Young Master Lu Yang and Master Lu Wei ordered me to get your tianxuan token!"
"And Young Miss Liu Ruyan also mentioned that her engagement with you was a disgrace, so I wanted to torment you to please Young Miss Liu Ruyan!"
Lu Dayou's mouth was full of blood, and his eyes were filled with terror.
He felt that Lu Changsheng's strength was at least at the Body Tempering Realm, Sixth Heaven!
"Lu Yang, Lu Wei."
"And that vicious woman, Liu Ruyan!"
Lu Changsheng sneered and took the Storage Pouch from Lu Dayou's waist.
Inside the Storage Pouch were some Medicinal Pills and banknotes.
"Body Tempering Pill, Low Grade Medicinal Pill."
Lu Changsheng shook his head.
He had already received the Red Lotus Empress's lifelong Alchemy Legacy, and he could tell at a glance that this Medicinal Pill was full of Impurities, its efficacy extremely poor, belonging to the worst Low Grade Medicinal Pills.
Taking too many would actually be harmful to martial arts Cultivation.
He planned to throw away these Medicinal Pills and use the banknotes to buy medicinal ingredients to refine his own Medicinal Pills.
But at this very moment, the Refining Immortal Cauldron in his Dantian actually trembled.
Then, a mysterious and unfathomable energy quickly surged into his palm, pouring into the Low Grade Body Tempering Pill.
Buzz!
The Body Tempering Pill vibrated, and Lu Changsheng saw that the Impurities within the Medicinal Pill were actually refined away out of thin air!
The Medicinal Pill became perfectly round, shimmering with a faint white light, and in an instant, it transformed into a High Grade Medicinal Pill!
Low Grade, Sub-grade, Low Grade, Medium Grade, High Grade, Excellent Grade, Earth Grade, Heaven Grade, Saint Grade!
These were the ranks of Medicinal Pills.
Not to mention Baiyun City, where the Lu Family was located, even looking across the entire Eastern Domain, High Grade Medicinal Pills were extremely precious and not very common.
Only some truly powerful forces and large Families could possess such Medicinal Pills.
Lu Changsheng hadn't expected that the Refining Immortal Cauldron, with just a tremble, could transform a Low Grade Medicinal Pill into a precious High Grade Medicinal Pill!
"This is just the most insignificant function of the Refining Immortal Cauldron."
"Its true purpose is to exist for your Chaotic Immortal Demon Body, to refine all Immortals and Demons of the heavens, and achieve the supreme Dao!"
A cold voice, as if devoid of any emotion, echoed in Lu Changsheng's mind.
Liuli Empress!
"Didn't you fall into slumber?"
Lu Changsheng quickly asked.
"I didn't expect your situation to be so dire."
"Setting aside reaching the Martial King Realm within three years, you now need to reach the Martial Artist Realm as soon as possible, only then can you unleash the most minuscule power of the Chaotic Immortal Demon Body."
After Liuli Empress finished speaking, she completely fell silent.
She must have entered a state of slumber.
As for the Martial Artist Realm, there were no more than ten people in the entire Baiyun City who had reached it.
But for the Chaotic Immortal Demon Body, this could only unleash the most minuscule power?
What kind of Physique was this, after all?
Lu Changsheng clutched the Medicinal Pill in his hand, his heart filled with anticipation.
"Lu Changsheng, what are you doing!"
Just then, a cry of alarm rang out.
A young man with small eyes and a hooked nose walked quickly towards Lu Changsheng.
He was Lu Yang, the Third Young Master of the Lu Family, at the Body Tempering Realm, Ninth Heaven!
Behind him was a middle-aged man with his hands behind his back, his temples streaked with gray, and a gloomy expression.
Lu Yang's father, Lu Wei, the Third Master of the Lu Family, at the Martial Artist Realm, First Heaven!
"Young Master, save me!"
Seeing Lu Yang and Lu Wei arrive, Lu Dayou, who was sprawled on the ground, quickly cried for help.
But the next moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes rolled back, and he died on the spot!
"Lu Changsheng, you killed Lu Dayou?!"
Lu Yang's eyes widened, unable to believe it was true.
This Lu Changsheng had clearly lost his Overlord Physique, had his Dantian shattered, and become a cripple!
Could it be that he could start Cultivating again?
"You beast!"
"Lu Dayou has been diligent in my Lu Family for decades, day in and day out, yet you actually resorted to such a vicious attack!"
"Immediately hand over the tianxuan token and cripple your own arms, otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Lu Wei took a step forward, and the Aura of a Martial Artist erupted, directed at Lu Changsheng.
"That's right!"
"How can a cripple like you possess a treasure like the tianxuan token?"
"Only I, Lu Yang, in the entire Lu Family, am worthy of holding the tianxuan token and entering the Tianxuan Holy Academy!"
With Lu Wei backing him, Lu Yang also started to shout provocatively.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng narrowed his eyes.
From his embrace, he pulled out a palm-sized white jade token.
The characters 'Tian Xuan' were carved upon it, grand and majestic, like a Dragon and Phoenix soaring.
"Lu Yang, you are not worthy enough to take my tianxuan token."
"Ten days from now, I will have a life-and-death duel with you!"
"If you can defeat me, my life and the tianxuan token will be yours!"
Lu Changsheng held the tianxuan token, speaking each word clearly and forcefully!
In an instant, Lu Yang's heart was surprisingly flustered!
He seemed to see the Overlord Physique Prodigy of yesteryear, whose Aura was unmatched, capable of dominating an entire era!
But the next moment, he snapped back to reality and sneered.
"Good, good, I accept this life-and-death duel!"
Lu Yang's eyes burned with eagerness, staring at the tianxuan token in Lu Changsheng's hand.
"I forgot to tell you, I'm only one step away from the Martial Artist Realm right now!"
"Tomorrow, I can buy a Foundation Establishment Pill from the Tianlong Treasure Firm, and ten days will be just enough time for me to refine its medicinal power and break through into the Martial Artist Realm in seclusion!"
"So Lu Changsheng, even if you can start Cultivating again, ten days from now, you will surely die!"
Lu Yang said grimly.
