Chapter 31 Peak of Body Tempering
Lu Yuan waved his hand.
They followed Lao Huang into the front yard.
Several lanterns were lit in the front yard.
Lu Yun was sitting on the veranda, holding a whetstone in her hand, idly rubbing the blade of her short sword.
She looked up when she heard footsteps.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again.
"Where did you go? Why are you only just getting back? Dad has asked you that so many times."
Lu Yun tucked the short sword into her waistband and took a few steps toward him.
When the lantern light shone on Lu Yuan's face, she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Your face is as white as paper!"
Lu Yuan waved his hand, about to say it was nothing.
Suddenly, he felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Blood splattered on the ground, gleaming dark red in the lantern light.
This startled Lu Yun.
Lu Yun's expression changed instantly, and she grabbed his arm.
"fine."
Lu Yuan wiped his mouth, his voice still relatively steady.
"He suffered some internal injuries, nothing serious."
"Not heavy? You're spitting blood and you still say it's not heavy!"
Lu Yun grabbed his arm and called out towards the main hall.
She was always a very outgoing person, and her voice was now incredibly shrill.
"Father! Come quick!"
In less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.
Lu Youde practically ran over.
"My dear little aunt, what's wrong now...?"
He came over and saw Lu Yuan's face and the pool of blood on the ground.
Without saying a word.
He scooped Lu Yuan up in his arms and strode towards the inner courtyard.
The usually cautious and meticulous head of the Lu family had an unusually steady hand at this moment.
His footsteps were so fast it felt like someone was chasing him.
"Summon doctors! Bring me all the best doctors in town!"
Lu Youde roared at the servants behind him without turning his head.
The doctor arrived quickly.
An elderly man with white hair and beard sat down beside Lu Yuan's bed, took his pulse, and his brows furrowed more and more deeply.
"The internal injuries are very severe."
The old doctor withdrew his hand and stroked his beard.
He seemed to be carefully choosing his words.
"His chest meridians were injured by external force, and at least 30% of them are blocked by blood stasis. He's only managed to hold on until now because of his good constitution... Whether he'll wake up later depends on this kid's fate."
Lu Youde's face turned pale instantly.
He pulled the old doctor into the outer room, stuffed a handful of silver notes into his hand, and asked him to prescribe medicine.
Then he went back to the inner room alone and took out a small celadon bottle from a hidden compartment in the bookshelf.
The bottle was covered with a thin layer of dust; it had been stored for many years.
Lu Youde stared at the bottle and remained silent for a moment.
Then he uncorked the bottle and poured the dark golden pill into his palm.
"This meridian-protecting pill... was originally meant for me."
Lu Youde stuffed the pill into Lu Yuan's mouth and then poured in half a bowl of warm water.
"You brat, swallow it."
"Father, is Lu Yuan... alright?"
Although Lu Yun is usually carefree, she truly considers Lu Yuan her younger brother.
"It's alright, don't worry."
Lu Youde smiled and comforted Lu Yun, while also comforting himself.
"Our Lu family has finally produced such a genius, how could we possibly fall like this?"
He was silent for a moment, then turned to Old Huang and asked.
"What happened? I was perfectly fine when I went out today."
Old Huang briefly recounted to Lu Youde what had happened that day when they were ambushed by assassins in the dense forest.
However, the part where he himself took action was omitted from this.
It was described as Lu Yuan killing two assassins on the spot.
In Lu Youde's eyes,
Old Huang was just an ordinary servant.
Therefore, they didn't ask too many questions about some of the details of the battle.
"An assassin capable of injuring Yuan'er... must be at least at the Blood Condensation Realm. Someone with that kind of strength..."
"Father? It must have been the Zhao family and Blood Wolf who did it for them!"
Lu Yun's face was full of indignation.
"With the election just days away, those people simply don't want him to participate in the election normally!"
"Ha, Zhao Tianxiong."
Lu Youde snorted coldly, his hand gripping the blanket tightening.
"Do you really think I, Lu Youde, am easy to bully, by blaming my Lu family like this?"
He pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind.
"If Yuan'er doesn't wake up, don't blame me, Lu Youde, for flipping the table!"
He calmed down for a moment, then turned to Lu Yun and said, "Let's go. There's no point in us staying here. Let's not disturb his recovery."
Lu Yun nodded obediently.
He then got up and followed Lu Youde out of the room.
"Old Huang, you stay here and take good care of him," Lu Youde instructed Old Huang before leaving.
After everyone left.
Old Huang closed the door and sat down on the low stool by the bed.
He didn't touch the medicine bowl, but simply placed two fingers on Lu Yuan's wrist pulse.
The moment his fingertips touched his pulse, his cloudy eyes narrowed slightly.
They discovered that Lu Yuan's body was repairing itself at an unusual speed.
"That's interesting."
A surge of internal energy flowed along his wrist meridian into Lu Yuan's body, beginning to probe.
Old Huang was surprised to find that Lu Yuan's injured meridians were reconnecting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The stagnant blood and qi are also flowing slowly but steadily...
Even Lao Huang had never seen such a recovery speed.
Unlike Qin Zhao's injuries.
Without any external medical assistance.
It's only a matter of time before Lu Yuan wakes up.
Old Huang breathed a sigh of relief.
only......
Old Huang suddenly realized.
The protective pill that Lu Youde had just fed him was still suspended above his dantian, unable to dissipate its medicinal power.
"Young Master Yuan, let this old servant lend you a hand!"
Old Huang didn't hesitate for long.
He placed his palm on Lu Yuan's back, and a surge of powerful internal energy flowed slowly into him through his meridians.
The stagnant medicinal power of the meridian-protecting pill was enveloped and gradually pushed into the dantian.
That internal force itself melted into the medicinal power, merging with it to wash over Lu Yuan's meridians, dissolving and carrying away the stagnant blood bit by bit.
......
Lu Yuan remained unconscious for the next few days.
Every day, when no one was around, Old Huang would come in and take his pulse once, nodding slightly each time he finished.
Lu Youde would come in and sit for fifteen minutes every day, without saying anything, and then leave.
The day before the election.
at night.
Lu Yuan woke up.
The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the gauze curtain above the bed.
I felt like I had a very peaceful sleep.
Moonlight streamed through the window paper, indicating that it was already late at night.
He subconsciously circulated his qi and blood.
Then he was surprised to feel the changes in his dantian.
Under the circulation of Qi and blood.
The body's Qi and blood rapidly converged into the Dantian.
It began to condense into a vortex.
One.
two.
Three.
......
"This is... a vortex of Qi and Blood?"
The formation of a vortex of qi and blood signifies officially transitioning from the late stage of body tempering to the peak of body tempering.
This is the prototype of the internal energy that was later cultivated.
Lu Yuan suppressed the joy in his heart.
Begin to consolidate your own Qi and blood.
The medicinal power of the previous protective pill had completely dissolved into the vortex, and the internal energy that Old Huang had transferred in had also merged into it.
His cultivation level jumped directly from the late stage of Body Tempering to the peak, and is still climbing higher.
It charged all the way to the peak of body tempering before stopping.
He's only a thin veil away from reaching the Blood Coagulation Realm.
There were as many as nine vortexes of qi and blood in the dantian!
"Before breaking through to the Blood Condensation stage, an ordinary person would only have three to five Qi and Blood vortexes. I never expected that I could condense nine in one go!"
He circulated his qi and blood.
Full and smooth, even stronger than before the injury.
