Chapter 10 A Sudden Fortune Overnight As night fell, the area in front of the Dingseong Auction House was so crowded with carriages and people that there was barely room to set foot. It was all because of a single notice posted that afternoon, which had drawn out all the wealthy families of Jianglin City. “I heard about the Body-Tempering Powder being auctioned today. They say it was made directly by a Qi Refiner?” “It may not be as good as a medicinal pill, but apparently it has…-

Chapter 9 The Iron-Faced Master A month passed. The backyard of Old Man Wu’s tavern was hardly recognizable anymore. Layers of medicinal-herb powder covered the ground, while bottles filled with failed medicinal mixtures were lined up beneath the walls. At the center of it all, Lu Fan slowly drew in a breath. Whoosh. A faint reddish glow bloomed from his chest and spread toward his shoulders and arms along with his breathing. The red energy flowed just beneath his skin before…

Chapter 8 A Body That Holds Flames “Hit me with all your strength.” At Lu Haoran’s words, Lu Fan took his stance in the center of the pavilion by the lakeside. His grandfather was an expert at the ninth layer of the Inner Astral Realm. Even if Lu Fan used all his strength, it would be difficult to touch even the hem of his clothes, so there was no reason to hold back. Lu Fan pulled his left foot backward and lowered his waist. Once his breathing settled, his entire body became taut, like…

Chapter 7 Effort Is a Talent Too The next morning, Lu Fan woke to the sound of hammering. When he opened the door to his detached residence, unfamiliar craftsmen were already filling the courtyard. They were busy tearing down pillars and roof tiles, measuring the dimensions for new furniture, and making all sorts of preparations. “Are you awake?” Lu Hu approached with a bright expression. “I’m having a new bed and desk brought in, and I’m replacing your training stone with a…

Chapter 6 The Disciple of the Nine Heavens Sect After leaving the banquet hall, Lu Fan did not immediately return to his private residence. With a bottle of wine in one hand and the leftover food in the other, he walked out through the main gate of the Lu Family estate. Firecrackers celebrating the New Year continued to explode throughout the streets, while lanterns hung outside each household dyed the darkness red. Until just a month ago, Lu Fan had hated days like this. The more people…

Chapter 5 Everyone Lowered Their Heads A few days later, the Lu Family estate was bustling with guests from early morning. Red lanterns hung beneath every eave, while drums and gongs rang out incessantly in front of the main gate. Every year, in preparation for the Annual Festival, the Lu Family held a two-day feast. On the final night, only the members of the Lu Family gathered to offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth and check the cultivation achievements of the younger members. Lu Fan sat…

Chapter 4 Breaking Through the Wall with a Fist Jianglin City’s Western Mountain was completely buried beneath snow. Deep in the mountains, where no one ever ventured, only the dull, heavy sound of repeated impacts echoed without end. Thud! Thud! Thud! Lu Fan had thrown off his shirt and was pounding on an ironstone as tall as a man. Every time his fist struck, stone dust scattered and a deep dent appeared on its surface. His arms were in an even worse state. The skin over his knuckles had split…

Chapter 3 Enduring Is a Skill Too The words that had appeared on the Ink Stone in front of the Scripture Repository remained for a long time. 【Ink Stone Assessment】 Realm: Body Tempering Realm, 5th Layer Grade: Intermediate Lu Fan took another look at the glowing words. That very morning, he had still been at the third layer of the Body Tempering Realm. Even now, the fact that he had broken through two stages in a single day from the barrier that had stopped him for years…

Chapter 2 Two Stages in a Day It was only after an hour that Lu Fan opened his eyes. The moment he sat up, a series of crisp sounds came from his stiffened joints. Crack, crack. For a while, Lu Fan sat in the snow and stared down at his own hands. He had been lying there long enough for his entire body to become buried in snow, yet he felt neither cold nor fatigue. If anything, his body felt lighter than before. When he clenched his fist, strength flowed evenly all the way to his…

Chapter 1 The Lu Family's Good-for-Nothing Winter had arrived in Jianglin City. The biting northern wind swept across the plaza, yet no one left their place. Boys and girls under the age of eighteen stared only at the black stone standing in the center of the square. A two-zhang-tall Ink Stone. The two characters carved into its surface—“Martial Dao”—emanated a heavy, imposing aura beneath the winter sunlight. Today was the day the Martial Dao Academy of the Wu'an Kingdom selected…
