Chapter 13: Family Meeting

"boom!"
After the crisp blast of bones, a surging internal force connected Lu Chen's body with 108 martial art meridians, and terrifying power penetrated his body.
At this moment, a flush of flush appeared on Lu Chen's cheeks, and circles of internal force condensed around his body, forming a large number of air currents.
The realm of body tempering, breakthrough success!
Lu Chen didn't stop immediately. He continued to take out a bottle of perfect quality body tempering potion. The realm just broke through and needed to be consolidated. There was a bottle of perfect quality body tempering potion left that could be used to consolidate the realm.
It lasted for another half day before the internal force vortex around Lu Chen's body gradually submerged into his body. Lu Chen opened his eyes suddenly with his eyes closed, and a ray of divine radiance shone out.
"call!"
Between the sniffles, a loud chirping sound came out, and a faint smile spread from the corner of his mouth.
"The body tempering realm, this is the power of the body tempering realm. Although it is only the initial stage of body tempering, it is much stronger than the latter stage of bone refining."
Lu Chen felt the majestic power in his body, and said with emotion.
"Although I have broken through to the body tempering realm, this is far from enough. I will have a long way to go in the future. I can't have any slack." Lu Chen may have some joy and excitement, but there is no arrogance. For him, his martial arts career has just begun.
In fact, in the entire Lu family, at Lu Chen's age, those who can step into the realm of body tempering are already very good. The grand elder's grandson, Lu Yan, is now only in the late stage of body tempering, and the resources that Lu Yan consumes are also very amazing.
Although Lu Chen is still in the early stage of body tempering, Lu Chen is confident that if he is facing Lu Yan now, he will definitely win in the end. His martial arts achievements are much higher than Lu Yan.
Afterwards, Lu Chen put away the remaining seventeen bottles of excellent-quality body-tempering potions. These seventeen bottles of potions were worth 8,500 gold coins. So many gold coins are enough to buy some ordinary and relatively poor advanced martial arts.
However, Lu Chen was not in a hurry to cultivate more advanced martial arts, he still needed to continue to improve his martial arts realm.
With the assistance of the Universe Mind Method and the assistance of high-quality body-tempering medicines, Lu Chen is still at a relatively low level. It can be said that there is no bottleneck in the practice that can cause too much obstacle to Lu Chen.
More than a month later, Lu Chen successfully broke through from the initial stage of body quenching to the realm of the middle stage of body quenching.
On this day, the originally quiet Lu Family Courtyard suddenly boiled.
A group of figures shuttled through the compound, and there were people talking in almost any corner. There are members of the Lu family, there are servants, and there are also Lu family guards.
Because today is the annual adult meeting of the Lu family.
The entire Lu family has many members. In the entire Qingfeng City area, including the properties of various families, the total number of all Lu family members is probably at least tens of thousands, not including guards and servants.
Therefore, basically every year, dozens or even more than a hundred children will participate in the coming-of-age ceremony.
All Lu family descendants or children who are 16 years old must attend the coming-of-age ceremony, and Lu Chen will also attend the coming-of-age ceremony this year.
Around nine in the morning, a large number of Lu family children gathered on the Lu family's spacious martial arts field. Of course, most of them came to watch the excitement. There should be only a few dozen members who actually participated in the coming-of-age ceremony this year.
"Master Lu Chen is there?"
Lu Chen was in the room and heard someone calling himself in the courtyard.
He walked out of the room and saw a personal guard of the owner standing there.
"Master Lu Chen, the adult meeting is about to begin, please go to the martial arts field." Seeing Lu Chen, the guard said with a blank face, then turned and left.
Obviously, this guard didn't mean much respect for Lu Chen.
Also, an ordinary person in a family like the Lu family will not receive much respect and respect, even if Lu Chen is a descendant of the Lu family and a grandson of the third elder.
In this world, the strong is respected!
Lu Chen didn't care about this, he prepared a little bit, and left the small courtyard to go to the family martial arts field.
Around the martial arts field, many members of the Lu family were already standing there, crowded in darkness, at least a thousand people, some of whom even came back from some remote areas.
At the center of the martial arts field, there are already many Lu family children. These Lu family children are all sixteen years old who are going to attend the coming-of-age ceremony.
Along the way, many people passed by Lu Chen, but few could greet Lu Chen. Lu Chen also laughed at this. Perhaps in the eyes of these people, Lu Chen was about to leave the Lu Family Compound to stay in a horn bump, and he might not meet again in the future. What's the point of greeting such a person.
Although the children of the Lu family in the center of the martial arts field seem to be gathered together at first sight, they can be seen when they are close by. These people are roughly divided into two groups.
One group is a member of the Lu family's direct line, and the other group is a Lu family's collateral line. The number of collateral children is several times that of the direct descendants.
The direct descendants, Lu Chen are very familiar with, as for those collaterals, they are quite unfamiliar, and there are even some Lu Chen who don't have any impression. They should have never met.
Lu Chen walked over, he didn't stand to choose any group, just stood in a random place.
"Brother Lu Chen, you are here."
Just as Lu Chen stopped, a descendant of the Lu family smiled at Lu Chen and said something.
This direct descendant of the Lu family is called Lu Yuan, who also has no attribute physique.
"Well, here it is." Lu Chen smiled and nodded, very polite.
In fact, Lu Chen and Lu Yuan didn't have too much intersection. They had seen each other many times over the years, but it was enough to just say hello to each other.
When someone took the initiative to say hello, Lu Chen would of course not ignore it, nor would he have any airs. When I used to be an ordinary person, I didn't have much air, but now I am a cultivator.
"Brother Lu Chen, after the coming-of-age ceremony, can you stay in the family?" Lu Yuan walked a few steps towards Lu Chen and asked in a low voice, his expression a little sad.
After this coming-of-age ceremony, he should be leaving the Lu Family Courtyard.
"It's possible, not necessarily." Lu Chen said.
"You are a pharmacist, you should be able to stay in the family." Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, "I can't do it anymore. After the coming-of-age ceremony, I should go to Heishui Town, where there is a mine in the family. Field, I'll go there."
Lu Chen could feel that Lu Yuan's emotions were a little bit lost, but he had nothing to do. He was not the head of the family, and had the right to absolutely any place where the Lu family children went.
"Lu Chen, I haven't seen you for a few months. You are a lot more energetic. It seems that you are not enough to eat."
At this time, Lu Yan's voice came.
Lu Chen had seen Lu Yan standing in the crowd a long time ago, and had been staring at him negatively, but Lu Chen had been ignoring this guy, and now this guy came to ridicule himself again.
"Eat well, sleep well, thank you for your concern." Lu Chen sneered.
Lu Chen's gaze quickly passed over a beautiful shadow in the crowd, and then he sighed slightly in his heart. Lu Yanran seemed to only glance at Lu Chen when Lu Chen walked over, and then did not look at Lu Chen again.
"Hmph, after the coming-of-age ceremony, see if you can still laugh. But don't worry, no matter where you go, I will always take care of you." Lu Yan gritted his teeth and whispered in a fierce tone.
"Very good, but you may be disappointed." Lu Chen smiled again.
"Lu Chen, you don't have any hope to stay in the family. Don't think that the third elder can help you stay here. It's impossible!" Lu Yan couldn't control the anger in his heart when he saw Lu Chen's indifferent expression.
The crowd suddenly became agitated at this time, countless pairs of eyes turned to one direction.
There, a group of figures were walking towards the center of the martial arts field. Lu Jinyun, the head of the Lu family, walked in the forefront. Behind him were the five elders of the Lu family, the third elder, the fifth elder, the eighth elder and the ninth elder.
Not all senior Lu family members will attend the adult meeting. After all, any elder is usually very busy, and an adult meeting is not enough for all elders to attend.
Patriarch Lu Jinyun and the five elders walked to a high platform. Lu Jinyun glanced slowly around, the original noisy voice gradually disappeared, and the entire martial arts field was quiet.
"Elders, the adult meeting, shall we begin now?" Lu Jinyun turned around and smiled at the elders.
"You can start!"
"Let's start!" the five elders said one after another.
"I announce that the Lu family's adult meeting this year will begin now." Lu Jinyun's voice echoed over the entire martial arts arena, "From today, my Lu family will have another group of children, grown-ups. I hope that all of you, Both will be able to achieve something and win glory for the family."
"Now, ask the Nine Elders to preside over this adult meeting." After Lu Jinyun finished speaking, he looked at the Nine Elders and immediately took a few steps back.
The Ninth Elder Prophet Lu nodded, then stepped forward.
Xianzhi Lu is the ninth elder of the Lu family, but he has another identity, the chief pharmacist of the Lu family, and the only senior pharmacist of the Lu family. The position of Prophet Lu in the Lu family is in fact second only to the Patriarch, similar to the Great Elder. Almost every important member of the Lu family has used the medicine made by the prophet Lu.
"Children of the Lu family, I am Prophet Lu of the Ninth Elder."
"The coming-of-age meeting has already begun. I will host the meeting this year. Everyone knows the rules. I don't want to say more nonsense. Next, I will call the children of the family by name and come on stage to receive the baptism. After the baptism, you will be officially adults." His skin is darker and he seems to be born not to laugh, so he looks extremely serious.
"Lu Yanran!"
The first name Xianzhi Lu called out was the daughter of the Patriarch Lu Yanran.
After hearing her name, Lu Yanran walked out of the crowd and walked onto the high platform in a moment.
"Lu Yanran, test the attribute level." Xianzhi Lu nodded to Lu Yanran, and then said.
"Yes!" Lu Yanran replied and walked to the attribute crystal.
Attribute crystals are available in almost any family or force. This type of crystal has only one purpose, which is to test the attribute level of the cultivator.
There are five types of cultivator's attributes, including five types of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. And each type is divided into five levels.
