Chapter 210: Chapter 114: Glazed Radiant Body! Becoming Young Again

"Hey, where did Zhou Daniu go?"

The question made the other two men realize it as well, and they all looked around.

"Master Fu, Zhou Daniu isn’t here. We don’t know where he went."

"That guy’s been acting weird all morning, who knows what he was up to! He ignored us when we called him for meals, and when we asked where he was going, he wouldn’t say a word. It was like he’d lost his soul."

The three chattered away, completely oblivious to the fleeting, unusual expression on Lu Yun’s face.

Lu Fu, standing to the side, remained expressionless and said calmly, "You don’t need to worry about his things. Go pack up now."

"Yes, Master Fu!"

The three men asked no more questions and began to frantically pack up their own bedding and belongings.

Lu Fu personally went over to help. Though he said he was helping, his eyes were actually fixed on every item they packed, openly inspecting everything they were taking with them.

The three men felt their skin crawl under Lu Fu’s gaze, but none of them dared to say anything. They just lowered their heads and packed faster.

Only when all their bundles were packed did Lu Fu nod in satisfaction.

"Go on."

At his word, the two Lu Family guards helped the three men carry their large and small bundles to the adjacent courtyard.

The room fell completely silent, leaving only Lu Yun and Lu Fu.

Before long, the crystal chandelier cast a brilliant light across the living room of the villa in the Lu Family Residence.

Lu Yun sat on the main sofa, looking down at the object wrapped in an outer garment in his hands.

It was a piece of Immortal Flesh, about the size of a brick and slightly larger than the one Zhou Lie had given him.

Lu Yun stared at it, lost in thought. ’Damn,’ he admitted to himself. ’This is really getting to me.’

He recalled how he had previously taken a seven-day passenger ship, journeying thousands of miles to Nanling Province and exhausting every ounce of his strength just to find a fist-sized piece of Immortal Flesh.

And he had even encountered a life-threatening danger along the way.

Those three drops of black water from that bizarre foreigner, Count Thorne, had nearly killed him.

If it weren’t for the protection of his Hard Qigong’s Impenetrable Fortress, the grass on Lu Yun’s grave would be several meters high by now.

It was one thing for that guy Zhou Lie to have Immortal Flesh; his Zhou Family was a Martial Arts Family from Shun’an Province, so it was barely plausible that someone like him could find it.

But how could even a mere Anjin Martial Artist have so much Immortal Flesh now?

’Who could I even complain to about this?’ Lu Yun took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart.

According to the results of Lu Fu’s inquiries, this servant was named Zhou Daniu and had been hired last year.

He was an orphan with a clean background and no entanglements in the martial world within Yun Port City.

Every servant hired had to undergo Lu Fu’s strict inspection.

At the time, the inspection of Zhou Daniu had concluded that he was a novice Mingjin Martial Artist with mediocre aptitude and nothing special about him.

And the result?

In less than half a year, Zhou Daniu had broken through from the Mingjin Realm to the Anjin Realm. That speed was simply too fast; it was impossible to achieve through one’s own efforts alone. Only Immortal Flesh could make that possible.

However, in the six months since he started working for the Lu Family, this Zhou Daniu had never once left the Lu Family grounds.

The servants of the Lu Family were treated very well; they basically got two days off each month to go out and get some fresh air.

But Zhou Daniu had never taken a single day off. He just worked, ate, and slept every day, never going out or interacting with outsiders.

Although the Yin Dynasty had fallen and the Daxia New Country had been established for thirty years, given the dog-eat-dog world outside...

A servant who signed an employment contract was, in reality, not much different from one who had signed away their life; it was just a more civilized-sounding term.

The lives of those who signed such contracts belonged to their masters.

Forget about holidays; a servant was lucky just to have a full belly.

Countless people outside couldn’t even get a mouthful of thin porridge. Only the Lu Family truly treated people like human beings, so getting a job with them was a matter of immense good fortune.

Zhou Daniu hadn’t taken a single step outside the Lu Family estate in half a year. Could he have gotten this Immortal Flesh from within the Lu Family’s Old Mansion?

Since when was Immortal Flesh so common? ’Has the world really undergone some unknown change?’

There was only one room on the first floor of the villa, which had been reserved for Lu Yun, the head of the family, before construction.

But because Lu Yun had always lived in the old residence on the other side, accustomed to his own little corner of the world, this room had been left vacant for many years.

It was only recently, after Lu Yun had become famous throughout the Daxia New Country, that he had chosen to move in. ℯℯ𝑙.

The reason was simple: he wanted to be a little closer to his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, who lived in the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd Floors.

Fortunately, Lu Yun’s room was cleaned by servants every day, so it was very tidy inside.

He closed the door behind him, walked to the desk, and piled the two pieces of Immortal Flesh on top.

Lu Yun looked at the two pieces of black flesh, which were still twitching slightly, a glint of determination flashing in his eyes.

He then quickly cut off a small piece to save for Jing Jun and the others to use later.

He naturally swallowed the rest whole. A moment later, Lu Yun focused a part of his consciousness and delved into his mind.

[Extreme Blue Martial Arts Modifier]

Name: Lu Yun

Sex: Male

Realm: Grandmaster of Divine Intent (Initial Stage)

Cultivation Techniques: Ten Thousand Valleys Struggle Fist (First Layer)—Modifiable, Hard Qigong (Third Layer, Great Accomplishment)—Modifiable.

Modification Value: 5000

Lu Yun’s gaze fell on the Modification Value column. It had changed from 464 to 5000. The effect of the Immortal Flesh was as astonishing as ever.

At that moment, he stared at the glowing screen, lost in thought.

Lu Yun first looked at his Hard Qigong. He had already decided to modify this Cultivation Technique first.

This was because he had already trained this Hard Qigong to its absolute limit, reaching the Third Layer of Great Accomplishment, a point where no further progress could be made.

Based on past experience, when a Cultivation Technique trained to its limit was pushed to break through that limit, a completely new transformation would occur.

And for Lu Yun, what did that new transformation mean? It meant a new Martial Dao Will.

He already possessed the Martial Dao Will of the Ten Thousand Valleys Struggle Fist. If he could obtain another new Martial Dao Will, he would not only be the first Grandmaster of Divine Intent in the Daxia New Country, but also a being who possessed two Martial Dao Wills at the same time.

Two Martial Dao Wills—what did that mean? It meant that in a fight against an opponent of the same Realm, he would have an extra life, an extra trump card, an extra layer of insurance.

When an opponent exhausted all their strength to break through his first Martial Dao Will, thinking victory was within their grasp, they would be met with the fatal blow of his second Martial Dao Will.

Thinking of this, Lu Yun no longer hesitated.

’Modify!’

Instantly, the numbers in the Modification Value column flashed wildly. 3200 points vanished in a flash, and the value dropped from 5000 to 1800.

At the same time, a brand new Horizontal Cultivation Technique flooded into Lu Yun’s mind.

The stream of information was vast and clear, as if it weren’t an external infusion but an instinct he himself had cultivated for countless years, already carved into his very bones.

Glazed Radiant Body!!!

From outside to in, tempering away impurities. The body becomes like glazed glass—pure and flawless, radiating light from within.

At this moment, under Lu Yun’s Divine Sense, the bones within his body began to transform, becoming as crystalline as jade. His meridians expanded rapidly, becoming as tough as silk, and his blood circulated madly, becoming as pure as dew.

Finally, his internal organs were all strengthened, becoming even more indestructible. Everything inside his body was being enhanced at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The external reaction of his body was much more direct: where he originally had only a few strands of black hair with the rest being white...

...it now turned completely black. No, not completely black, but the salt-and-pepper gray of a middle-aged man.

Lu Yun now looked like a middle-aged man of about forty-five.

Moreover, he was full of vigor, his gaze was clear and bright, and he exuded an indescribable sense of calm composure.

Lu Yun walked silently to the mirror and looked at his reflection for a long time.

Then, he noticed that his entire body was constantly emitting a faint, ethereal, jade-green glow.

The light was very faint, so faint it was almost invisible.

But if one were to stand a little farther away and look closely, a careful observer would notice that Lu Yun’s entire being seemed to be enveloped in a subtle, jade-green halo.

What did it look like? Like an enlightened High Monk.

’So this is the new Horizontal Cultivation Technique, the Glazed Radiant Body?’ Lu Yun slowly clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him.
