Following a crisp bone sound, a surge of profound energy connected Lu Chen's 108 martial arts meridians, and a terrifying power rushed through his body.
At this time, Lu Chen's body turned red. A circle of profound energy condensed around his body, forming a large number of air vortices.
He had broken through to the Body Refinement Realm!
Lu Chen didn't stop immediately and took out a bottle of Perfect Grade Body Refining Pill. He had just broken through to a realm that still needed to be unified. There is still a bottle of perfect Body Refining Pill that can be used to unify his realms.
The activity lasted for half a day before the vortex of profound energy around Lu Chen gradually sunk into his body. Lu Chen, who had closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, and a ray of divine light shone from his eyes.
A loud sound immediately came out from his breath. He then smiled.
"This is the strength of the Body Refining Realm. Although I am only at the early stage, I am much stronger than those in the advanced stages of the Bone Refining Realm."
Lu Chen felt a majestic power in his body and heaved a sigh full of emotion.
"Although I have broken through to the Body Refining Realm, it is still far from enough. I still have a long way to go. in the future, I cannot slack off." Lu Chen might be feeling elated and excited, but he wasn't arrogant. For him, his martial arts journey had just begun.
In fact, Lu Chen, who could enter the Body Refining Realm at this age, was an absolute beast among all the members of the Lu family. Lu Yan, the eldest grandson of the Great Elder, was only at the late stage of the Body Refining Realm and wasted a lot of resources.
Even though Lu Chen is still in the early stages of the Body Refining Realm, he is confident that if he were to face Lu Yan now, he would definitely be able to defeat Lu Yan in the end. His achievements in martial arts are much better than Lu Yan's.
After that, Lu Chen collected The remaining seventeen bottles Perfect Grade Body Refining Pill. These seventeen medicines were worth 8,500 gold coins, which would be enough to buy some common and lousy advanced martial skills.
However, Lu Chen was in no hurry to develop advanced martial skills. He still needed to improve his martial arts realm.
With the help of the Qiankun Cultivation Method and Body Refining Pill of excellent grade, Lu Chen was still at a relatively lower realm. It can be said that there is no deadlock inside his cultivation that could cause too many obstacles for him.
After more than a month, Lu Chen managed to break through from the early stage of the Body Refining Realm to the intermediate stage.
Today, the Lu family suddenly became excited.
Many people were pacing in the house. Nearly everyone was talking in every corner, including the Lu family members, servants, and guards of the Lu family.
Because today is the day of the Lu Family's Annual Coming of Age Ceremony.
The entire Lu family has many members. The total number of members of the Lu family in the entire region of Wind City, including the various family businesses, would probably be at least in the tens of thousands, excluding guards and servants.
Therefore, every year there will be dozens or even hundreds of children attending the coming-of-age ceremony.
All sixteen-year-old children of the Lu family, whether direct descendents or branch family members, must participate in this coming-of-age ceremony. Lu Chen will also be participating in the ceremony this year.
Around nine in the morning, many members of the Lu family gathered at the Martial Arts Grounds. Of course, most of them came to watch the festivities of this ceremony. Only dozens of members will participate in the coming-of-age ceremony of the year.
"Is Lu Chen here?"
Lu Chen was in the room and heard someone calling him in the yard.
He walked out of the room and saw guard Lu Jinyun standing there.
"Lu Chen, the coming-of-age ceremony is about to start. Please head over to the Martial Arts Grounds," the bodyguard said as he stared at Lu Chen with a blank expression. Then he turned and left.
Clearly, the guard did not respect Lu Chen.
That makes sense. An ordinary person wouldn't be respected within the Lu family, even though Lu Chen is a member of the Lu family's direct bloodline and Lu Tianxing's eldest grandson.
Respect is only given to the strong in this world.
Lu Chen didn't care about the bodyguard's attitude. After getting ready, he left the pavilion and headed to the Martial Arts Grounds.
Around the Martial Arts Grounds, there were already quite a few members of the Lu family standing there. There are at least a thousand people. Some of these people even deliberately returned from remote areas.
In the middle of the Martial Arts Ground, there were already many members of the Lu family. They will all participate in the coming of age ceremony. All sixteen years old.
Along the way, there were many people who passed by Lu Chen. However, only a few welcomed him. Lu Chen didn't care either. These people probably thought, "Lu Chen will leave the Lu family to settle down in a remote place. They may not see Lu Chen again in the future. What's the point of greeting him?"
Although the members of the Lu family in In the middle of the Martial Arts Ground's seemed to be gathered together, they were actually divided into two groups.
One group is the direct descendant family members of the Lu family, while the other group is the branch descendant family members. The number of members of the branch family is several times more than the members of the direct descendant family.
Lu Chen is very familiar with the direct descendant family members, but he is unfamiliar with the branch descendant family members. He didn't even remember some of them and should have never met.
Walking over, Lu Chen didn't choose to stand in any group, but instead just stood in a random place.
"Lu Chen, you are here."
As Lu Chen stopped, a member of the direct descendants immediately smiled at Lu Chen and greeted him.
This member of direct descendant is called Lu Yuan. He also has no physical attributes.
"Well, I'm here." Lu Chen smiled politely and nodded.
In truth, Lu Chen and Lu Yuan didn't interact much. They had met many times over the years, but they only greeted each other.
Lu Yuan took the initiative to greet him. Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't ignore it or act arrogant. When he was an ordinary person in the past, he was humble, and now he didn't have the aura of a cultivator at all.
"Lu Chen, will you be staying at the family residence after the coming of age ceremony?" asked Lu Yuan in a low voice and showed a grave face as he stepped closer to Lu Chen.
After the coming of age ceremony, he had to leave the Lu family.
"Maybe, but nothing is certain," Lu Chen said.
"You are an alchemist, so you should be able to stay in the family residence," Lu Yuan smiled wryly and said, "However, I cannot stay. After the ceremony, I will probably go to Heishui City, where the Lu family mine is. will go there."
Lu Chen could feel that Lu Yuan was annoyed, but he had nothing to do. He is not the leader of the family and doesn't has the right to decide where the members of the Lu family will go.
"Lu Chen, I haven't seen you for a few months. You look fresh. You don't seem to be in a bad mood."
At this time, Lu Yan's voice sounded.
Lu Chen had seen Lu Yan standing in the crowd for a long time, and looked at him with a frown, but Lu Chen ignored Lu Yan. Now, Lu Yan mocked him again.
"I ate well and slept well. Thank you for your concern." Lu Chen sneered.
Lu Chen glanced quickly at a shadow in the crowd and sighed softly. Lu Yanran seemed to only glance at Lu Chen when she came over, then the girl stopped looked at him.
"Humph, after the coming of age ceremony, I'll see if you can still smile. Don't worry. Wherever you go, I will always take care of you," Lu Yan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
"Very good. However, you may be disappointed." Lu Chen smiled again.
"Lu Chen, you have no hope of living in the family residence. Don't think that Third Elder can help you stay here. No way!" Lu Yan saw Lu Chen's indifferent expression and couldn't control his anger.
The crowd suddenly became restless at the moment. They turned their heads in one direction.
One by one people walked to the center of the Martial Arts Ground. Lu Jinyun, leader of the Lu family, walked in front, and behind him were the five elders of the Lu family, Grand Elder, Third Elder, Fifth Elder, Eighth Elder, and Ninth Elder.
Not all of the senior members of the Lu family would participate in the coming-of-age ceremony. After all, every elder is very busy. The coming-of-age ceremony does not require all elders to attend.
Lu Jinyun and the five elders walked over onto the stage. Lu Jinyun looked around the group. The noisy sounds gradually died down and the entire Martial Arts Ground became quiet.
"Shall we begin the coming-of-age ceremony now?" Lu Jinyun turned around and looked at the elders with a smile.
"Sure! Let's get started!"
"Let's start!" said the five elders in a loud voice.
"I announce that this year's Lu family's coming of age ceremony officially begins," Lu Jinyun's voice echoed throughout the Martial Arts Grounds, "From today on, in the Lu family, there will be children who will entered adulthood. I hope that all of you can make achievements and achieve glory for the family."
"Now, Elder Ninth will take over this ceremony," After Lu Jinyun finished speaking, he looked at Elder Ninth and immediately took a few steps back.
Ninth Elder, Lu Xianzhi, nodded and stepped forward.
Lu Xianzhi is the ninth elder of the Lu family. He has another identity, that is, the head alchemist of the Lu family and the only senior alchemist of the Lu family. Lu Xianzhi's status in the Lu family is second only to Lu Jinyun and similar to the Great Elder. Almost every important member of the Lu family has used the Pill refined by Lu Xianzhi.
"Hello everyone. I am the Ninth Elder, Lu Xianzhi."
"The coming of age ceremony has started. I will be officiating this year's ceremony. Everyone knows the rules. I don't want to talk nonsense. Next, the member I called will goes up to the stage and will be baptized. After the baptism, you will officially become an adult." Lu Xianzhi has tanned skin and seems incapable to laughs naturally, so he looks very serious.
"Lu Yanran!"
The first name Lu Xianzhi called was Lu Yanran, daughter of Lu Jinyun.
Upon hearing the name, Lu Yanran walked out of the crowd and walked onto the stage in an instant.
"Lu Yanran, Attribute level test," said Lu Xianzhi while nodding to Lu Yanran.
"Yes!" Lu Yanran responded and walked over to the attribute crystal.
Attribute crystals can be found in almost any family or faction. This crystal had only one purpose, and that was to test a cultivator's attribute level.
There are five types of cultivator's attributes and bodies, which is metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each of them is divided into five levels.
