Chapter 52: One Hundred and Eight Pellets of Top-grade Medicine, Second Watch

  Zhao Hui arrived at the hall, put away her puzzled expression, and sat down in an empty seat on one side of the upper seat, saying: "Big brother, why are you holding a meeting with the elders of the clan so late? Is there something important?"

  "Not bad, since you've already agreed to let Shao Yu recognize his ancestors and return to the clan, I've also discussed it with the elders of the clan. Luolan should have a title too. From now on, Luolan will be the second lady, and the two of you won't be distinguished by seniority. You shouldn't have any objections, right?" Lu Dong said calmly as he gazed at Zhao Hui.

  "What? This is impossible! That servant girl wants to be on an equal footing with me and become the mistress of the Lu family? I absolutely disagree!" Zhao Hui suddenly became angry, she couldn't accept this no matter what.

  "Roland has suffered enough, now that Shao You is a Three-System Warrior, it's time for him to acknowledge his ancestry and give Roland the recognition he deserves." Next, an elder from the Lu family in a green robe spoke up, and judging from his aura, this Lu family elder seemed to have also reached the edge of the Martial Soul realm.

  "This is also a condition for Shao You, the three-series warrior, with such talent, my Lu family cannot ignore it." A long-shirted Lu family elder said in agreement.

  "Fart, don't forget that the Lu family agreed to my terms at the beginning. Are you trying to bully me because there's no one in the Zhao family? I absolutely won't agree to this matter." Zhao Hui angrily stared at the two Lu family elders and said.

  "Third brother and sister, you may not agree with this matter, but you have to agree. My Lu family has promised you, but since Master himself has agreed to it, if you have any opinions, you can go talk to Master about it. As for other things, we've already made up our minds. Even if the Zhao and Lu families were to confront each other, this matter cannot be changed. I hope you can understand." said Lu Dong.

  "You're a good one, Lu family." Zhao Hui was furious, but also helpless. She had a handle in the old man's hands. At first, she had secretly plotted against Lu Shao's body and couldn't say much now.

  "Brother and sister, let's just drop it. Even if that Luolan is on an equal footing with you, she's still just a maid after all." said Lu Nan lightly.

  "Hmph." Zhao Hui let out a cold snort and said: "What about Lu Zhong? What did he say, why didn't he come see me even when he left the pass?"

  "Third Brother has gone into seclusion again." Lu Dong said lightly.

  Zhao Hui's expression was extremely unpleasant, and she immediately gazed at the crowd in the hall. For the sake of her family's plan, she could only endure it for now, as it wasn't the time to make a scene with the Lu family yet.

  "Hmph." Zhao Hui snorted again, then said: "Since you've all already made up your minds, why bother having me come? You Lus can just decide among yourselves." With that, Zhao Hui left the great hall.

  Time slipped away like sand, slowly passing by. Before he knew it, Lu Shao had already been in seclusion for five days, refining his elixir.

  At this time, Qingyun Town was bustling with excitement. The warriors from the nearby towns and the people from the small families had all arrived in Qingyun Town. For a while, the town was filled with an extraordinary bustle, and the streets were crowded with people coming and going, far more than usual.

  On the streets, in taverns and shops, everyone was talking about one thing: the Cloudy Peak Sect's triennial recruitment of new disciples. As for the Cloudy Peak Sect, it could be said that no one in Qingyun Town did not know of it, and for warriors and spiritual practitioners, it was even more like thunder in their ears.

  Yunyang Sect, one of the three sects and four schools, has thousands of disciples in its ranks, with immense power. This Qingyun Town is Yunyang Sect's territory, and Yunyang Sect is also the holy land for all warriors nearby.

  Yunyang Sect only recruits disciples once every three years, and only those with exceptional talent are accepted. Each time new disciples are recruited, there are only five places available in Qingyun Town. The entire town competes for these five spots, especially the five major families of Qingyun Town, who compete even more fiercely.

  The quota for new disciples of Yunyang Sect, which is allocated every three years, basically falls into the pockets of these five major families. Other smaller families rarely get a chance to compete for the quota. In terms of cultivating disciples within the sect, there is also some gap between small families and these five major families.

  The five big families in Qingyun Town are the Yangs, Qins, Lus, Luos and Wangs. The power of these five families is also roughly equal in Qingyun Town, and they can all balance each other out, but they have always been secretly trying to surpass the other four families.

  "This time I don't know who among the families will be able to enter Yunyang Sect."

  "It goes without saying, it must be someone from one of the five big families. Others wanting to get in might find it difficult."

  "This is not necessarily the case, as long as one has a good innate talent, they also have the strength to enter. After all, when the time comes, Yunyang Sect will have strong masters personally come to select disciples."

  "But among the five big families, the younger generation has been cultivated from a young age, how can others compare, unless they are geniuses among geniuses."

  "In other words, based on previous years, these five spots are usually taken by people from the five major families."

  "It's said that this time the Lu family is really lucky, producing a dual-system martial artist and a triple-system martial artist, both of whom have reached the warrior level. This innate talent is frightening."

  "It's said that the three-series warrior is named Lu Shaoyou, previously the useless young master of the Lu family, who was detected to be unable to become a warrior since childhood, unexpectedly becoming a three-series warrior now."

  "In short, the Lu family's luck is quite good this time. With two martial arts practitioners and three martial arts practitioners, the Lu family's power will soon surge."

  Every street and alley is discussing the matter of Yunyang Sect's recruitment of new disciples, and Lu Shaoyou, a third-class martial artist from the Lu family, has also been spread around. Many people have learned that the Lu family has produced a third-class martial artist, which has almost shocked everyone.

  Inside the secret room of Lu's family, Lu Shaoyou continued to refine the elixir non-stop. The spiritual energy was injected into the Fire Dragon Cauldron and transformed into a fierce flame, making the entire secret room extremely hot.

  Eight days passed, Lu Shaoyou's spiritual energy was exhausted, and he would recover by adjusting his breath. Then, he continued to refine the elixir. After eight days of hard work, he finally refined most of the Guanding Dan.

  "Bang..." The Fire Dragon Cauldron opened, and a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out, filling the air. A dan medicine emitting a faint glow appeared in the secret room.

  "Receive." Lu Shaoxiu lightly shouted, and the dan medicine appeared in his palm.

  "One hundred and eight." Lu Shaoyou said lightly, a smile appearing on his face. This time, the materials for this batch of one hundred elixirs, under his own refining, had actually refined into one hundred and eight elixirs. In terms of controlling the medicinal materials, he had undoubtedly made significant progress, saving a considerable amount of material. And in terms of the quality of the elixir, it was also slightly better than before.

  Lu Shao's journey, however, was unaware that the one hundred portions of Dan medicine he had refined had actually produced 108 pills. If other spiritual practitioners were to find out, they would undoubtedly be shocked and amazed, for this was a truly astonishing level of skill in refining elixirs and controlling the process.

  Generally speaking, even if it's a spiritual practitioner at the Lingxu level who refines these two elixirs, it would be difficult to achieve this step. However, Lu Shao-yu is only at the Ling-shi level at this time, yet he has unconsciously achieved this step. Apart from having an exceptionally good innate talent, one must also have extraordinary abilities in terms of spiritual power to accomplish this.

  "Whoosh...whoosh..."

  The little dragon crawled out of Lu Shao's sleeve, staring at the Dan in his hand, its eyes fixed greedily on the Dan.

  "Little dragon, I forgot that you're hungry, but there's nothing for you to eat here." It wasn't until he saw the little dragon that Lu Shaoyou remembered that it had been eight days since the little dragon last ate.

  "Hmph... " Xiaolong twisted his body, greedily staring at the top-grade elixir in Lu Shaoyou's hand, as if saying something.
