The villa’s main hall was a mess. Tables and chairs were overturned, teacups were shattered, and the curtains hung half-torn from their rods.
The floor was littered with scorched black pits corroded by the black water and the debris of tiles shattered by Qi. The entire hall looked as if it had just endured a small storm.
Lu Fu quickly directed seven or eight workers to begin their tasks. Under their hands, the hall was soon restored, bit by bit, to its original state.
Lu Yun, meanwhile, returned to his room. Without hesitation, he consumed all the Immortal Flesh in an instant.
[Extreme Blue Martial Arts Modifier]
Name: Lu Yun
Gender: Male
Realm: Grandmaster of Divine Intent (???)
Cultivation Technique: Ten Directions Annihilation Fist 1st Floor (Modifiable), Glazed Radiant Body 2nd Floor (Modifiable)
Modified Value: 47950
Lu Yun’s gaze lingered on the "Modified Value" field. He recalled having only 2950 points left, but now the number had jumped to 47950—a full 45,000-point increase.
The figure made Lu Yun raise an eyebrow slightly. The Immortal Flesh from the Gong Family was more than he had anticipated. Based on this quantity, it seemed the Gong Family had likely brought over their entire family’s collection.
If Gong Jue knew what Lu Yun was thinking, he would probably have dropped to his knees on the spot, given a thumbs-up, and exclaimed in admiration.
"Your foresight is truly divine, venerable sir!"
Because that was precisely the case. For this single opportunity to visit Lord Lu, Gong Jue had decisively taken out nearly two-thirds of the Immortal Flesh the Gong Family had collected over centuries.
The Gong Family had paid such a steep price for one reason: to leave an excellent impression on Lord Lu.
Gong Jue had lived for over 150 years; he understood the ways of the world better than anyone.
When it came to giving gifts, you either didn’t give one at all, or you gave one that truly struck a chord with the recipient.
A gift that was too small would be dismissed, making it as good as no gift at all. And who was Lord Lu? He was a Grandmaster of Divine Intent, the undisputed Captain of Yun Port City, and the Stabilizing Needle of the entire Daxia New Country’s Martial Arts World.
What a person like that could give you far surpassed anything you could give him.
If the Gong Family wanted to soar in Yun Port City, they absolutely had to establish a good relationship with Lord Lu.
Yun Port City was only so big, yet it was home to countless factions. Whoever could gain a foothold with Lord Lu would be able to stand firm in this city.
Although the Gong Family were newcomers, they had their connection through Gong Yuanshan, not to mention a supremely talented junior like Gong Ning. And now, they had presented this weighty case of Immortal Flesh.
With this three-pronged approach, Gong Jue refused to believe that Lord Lu wouldn’t come to see the Gong Family as one of his own.
As for the once incomparably precious Immortal Flesh, opportunities to find it were now everywhere.
Ever since the Outer Celestial Demons began to appear throughout the Daxia New Country, the Immortal Flesh that once existed only within Immortality Crystals was no longer an unattainable treasure.
Compared to that, the value of establishing a connection with Lord Lu was on a completely different level.
Countless people were falling over themselves for a chance to meet Lord Lu, submitting calling cards and waiting for months, only to never even find out which way the Lu Family’s gate faced.
For the Gong Family to have such an opportunity to visit was already a tremendous blessing. Not seizing this chance to make a good impression would be a true waste.
Lu Yun withdrew his gaze, his opinion of the Gong Family rising a few notches.
’The Gong Family knows how to read the situation and isn’t afraid to invest heavily. Having such a family take root in Yun Port City is a good thing for the Lu Family as well.’
He refocused his attention on the modifier’s interface, his eyes sweeping back and forth between "Ten Directions Annihilation Fist 1st Floor" and "Glazed Radiant Body 2nd Floor" several times.
Forty-seven thousand-plus modified value points wasn’t a huge amount, but it wasn’t small either. He had no idea how much it would cost to modify a Martial Art.
After all, he had never accumulated so many modified value points at once before. However, it didn’t take long for Lu Yun to make up his mind. Without the slightest hesitation, he focused his attention on the Glazed Radiant Body, a Horizontal Martial Arts Training technique.
He had a faint feeling that it was this very Horizontal Martial Arts Training that was hindering him from breaking through the shackles of the Manifest Saint True Monarch realm.
’Only by pushing the Glazed Radiant Body to its absolute limit,’ Lu Yun thought, ’will the Divine Thought Golden Core inside me fully solidify. At that point, a Half-step Manifest Saint True Monarch would no longer be a "half-step," but a truly complete and unshakable Manifest Saint True Monarch.’
"Modify!"
With a single thought, the numbers on the modifier’s interface suddenly flickered. 13,000 modified value points vanished in an instant, and the total of 47950 dropped to 34950.
In an instant, a vast and boundless torrent of information surged into the depths of Lu Yun’s consciousness, like a bursting dam.
These moves, Heart Methods, and circulation paths seemed as if they had always existed deep within his soul.
The next second, Lu Yun’s entire body began to emit an ethereal, jade-cyan glow, dyeing the whole room in an ocean of cyan light.
Every move and stance of the Glazed Radiant Body’s 3rd Floor was integrated deep into his soul. At the same time, his Glazed Radiant Body’s Divine Will True Qi multiplied several times over, its power increasing dramatically.
If the previous Glazed Radiant Body was a thick iron shield capable of blocking most attacks, then at the 3rd Floor, that iron shield had become a city wall forged from refined steel.
A dozen rifles firing at it from close range probably wouldn’t even leave a mark.
At this moment, the Martial Dao Will of the Glazed Radiant Body was no longer limited to two Jade Cyan Great Buddhas, but had transformed into three.
Three Jade Cyan Great Buddhas sat cross-legged in the depths of Lu Yun’s mind. Each one was ten thousand zhang tall, towering between heaven and earth, with a gentle, jade-like cyan light flowing around its body. Their faces were compassionate yet solemn.
