Chapter 409: Chapter 409

"Rotate your Inner Strength, surge through the mysterious barrier, and bypass the Yang Pass..." Ding Fan said from the side.

Lu Zhanfei, at this moment, did not harbor the slightest doubt towards Ding Fan's words and busily began to circulate his Inner Strength as Ding Fan instructed.

After a surge of Inner Strength rushed through the mysterious barrier and bypassed the Yang Pass as Ding Fan described, Lu Zhanfei suddenly felt a stifling sensation in his chest.

Whoosh... Lu Zhanfei spewed a mouthful of blood outright.

When the surrounding people saw the blood that Lu Zhanfei spat out clearly, they were all struck by a wave of astonishment.

Lu Zhanfei's blood was dark and viscous, but more importantly, wisps of Cold Qi were emanating from the blood.

"Zhanfei, how do you feel?" Lu Zhanming, the head of the household, asked with a look of concern.

That Lu Zhanfei was the first and foremost expert under the old ancestor of the Lu Family; such a person was extremely important to a clan.

"I feel much better now," Lu Zhanfei clenched his fist and said to the head of the household.

"You can still mobilize your Inner Strength with ease; just practice the Cultivation Technique as I have taught you just now," Ding Fan said at this time from the side.

"Thank you, benefactor, for the guidance..." Lu Zhanfei naturally knew it was Ding Fan who saved him and immediately bowed in respect to Ding Fan.

The Lu Family Disciples present saw that Lu Zhanfei looked much better after spitting out that mouthful of blood, and from what they could see, he was apparently able to cultivate again.

Everyone knew that Lu Zhanfei had been carried in on a stretcher earlier, unconscious; now, however, he seemed as if nothing had happened.

At this point, everyone's expectations for Ding Fan's modified Cultivation Technique grew. If Ding Fan's Cultivation Technique was truly effective, then all of them would benefit from it.

"Zhanfei, you were knocked unconscious by a saber-toothed wolf, you didn't know... Let me introduce him to you. This is Ding Fan, Uncle Ding!" And so, Lu Zhanming briefly informed Lu Zhanfei about Ding Fan's arrival.

Lu Zhanfei did not underestimate his junior by age and gave a respectful martial artist's greeting, "Pleased to meet you, Uncle Ding!"

"Uncle, you have yet to prove to us that your modified Cultivation Technique can preserve our cultivation levels. If it just cures illnesses and injuries, at most it could be considered a remarkable medical skill, not a Cultivation Technique," Lu Zhanyun mentioned from the side at this moment.

At this point, the crowd again turned their gaze toward Ding Fan.

Ding Fan merely glanced calmly at Lu Zhanfei and said, "Then let's prove it to everyone."

Lu Zhanfei nodded, and after circulating his Inner Strength for a while, he shouted and struck his palm towards the ground.

Boom... a loud noise ensued, and the flat marble floor was unexpectedly blown open by Lu Zhanfei's palm strike.

Dust flew everywhere... The powerful strike of an Earth Level Fifth Grade martial artist, within such a confined space, had a more impactful effect visually and audibly.

"Wow... The new Cultivation Technique indeed preserved the original cultivation level!"

"Uncle is amazing, he actually managed to modify our Lu Family's Cultivation Technique that has been passed down for over a hundred years!" The Lu Family Disciples on site were dumbstruck.

Just in his early twenties, and having such a profound understanding of Martial Arts, not only did he modify the Cultivation Technique in such a short time, but he also impressively retained everyone's cultivation levels.

What does it mean to be a once-in-a-generation genius? What does it mean to be stunningly decisive?

Ding Fan is exactly that!

"Uncle... My daughter is currently single; if you see fit, please take her under your wing," said a middle-aged man of the Zhan generation from the side at that moment.

Following the man's outburst, laughter erupted among the crowd.

Lu Zhanyun, who was mixed in with the crowd, stared wide-eyed at the opening Lu Zhanfei had blasted on the ground, hardly able to believe it was real.

But the evidence lay before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe.

He had originally thought that this young man was a swindler, but now it seemed that he truly possessed remarkable abilities.

The head of the household approached Lu Zhanyun out of nowhere. "Lao Jiu, are you convinced now?"

Lu Zhanyun nodded, still in a daze.

The facts were right in front of him; he had nothing left to question.

It was only now that Lu Zhanyun realized something.

The old ancestor was far from senile, and having a young Uncle like Ding Fan was not shameful for the Lu Family. On the contrary, having someone like Ding Fan backing the Lu Family was a great blessing!

"Uncle, I was being unreasonable before; please punish me as you see fit!" Lu Zhanyun walked up to Ding Fan and kneeled directly in front of him with a thud.

Ding Fan actually took quite a liking to this Lu Zhanyun. He dared to act and dared to rectify his mistakes.

Even though Lu Zhanyun had given Ding Fan a hard time earlier, it was out of concern for the Lu Family, after all; who would believe that a youth barely in his twenties could modify a Cultivation Technique...

Ding Fan gestured from a distance, and Lu Zhanyun, who was kneeling before him, was directly lifted to his feet by Ding Fan.

"We are all family from now on, there's no need to talk about punishment," Ding Fan said with a smile.

At this moment, Lu Zhanyun truly felt the magnanimity of Ding Fan. In the face of such a broad-mindedness, he couldn't help but feel insignificant. Recalling his own previous difficulties, Lu Zhanyun's face involuntarily flushed with embarrassment.

"Junior brother, you've done a great service for the Lu Family of Dejiang..." Ren Susu walked over. "From now on, the disciples of the Lu Family are your backup force. Should there be any trouble, the Lu Family will not shirk its responsibility!"

Family head Lu Zhanming also approached. "Should Uncle Ding have any orders, we of the Lu Family are ready to face death without hesitation!"

Following Lu Zhanming's declaration, the Lu Family disciples present bowed and said to Ding Fan, "Should Uncle Ding have any commands, we are prepared to face death without hesitation!"

The Lu Family disciples present understood that if it weren't for Ding Fan this time, many of them might have died by the age of sixty due to the Martial Arts Tome.

The Cultivation Technique modified by Ding Fan had practically saved an entire family.

Therefore, the words spoken by the Lu Family disciples present came genuinely from the heart.

Next, the clan elder Ren Susu organized a banquet. Today was a monumental turning point for the Lu Family, escaping the curse of dying before the age of sixty. From now on, the Lu Family would surely produce a number of ruthless individuals at the peak of Earth Level.

With the Cultivation Technique modified by Ding Fan, the Lu Family's future would undoubtedly be more glorious.

The banquet was quite lavish. Ding Fan sat beside Ren Susu. Now in the Lu Family, only Ren Susu held a higher position than Ding Fan.

As for Ding Fan's current status, no one in the Lu Family had any objections. It was a joke! Even among Earth Level peak martial artists, there were few who could achieve what Ding Fan had done.

After the banquet, Ding Fan, before returning, personally passed on the entirety of the Cultivation Technique to Lu Zhanfei.

Although Ding Fan passed the Cultivation Technique to Lu Zhanfei, it would still take some time to completely resolve the accumulated inner issues of the Lu Family disciples.

But as long as they practice the Cultivation Technique Ding Fan modified over time, the Lu Family disciples will eventually overcome the hidden maladies from the Martial Arts Tome.

After the banquet, Ren Susu originally wanted to arrange for Ding Fan to rest overnight at Noble Manor, but Ding Fan insisted on returning. He was worried about Mu Zi, and since he would be returning to Yanjing in a couple of days, Ding Fan had preparations to make.

Seeing Ding Fan determined to leave, the clan elder Ren Susu arranged for Lu Fan to escort him.

Lu Fan and Ding Fan were old acquaintances, having met Ding Fan in Dancheng. Without Lu Fan, Ding Fan couldn't have found Ren Susu. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵

"Uncle Ding, this is something the clan elder asked me to pass on to you. She was worried you wouldn't accept it from her directly, so she had me give it to you..."

After the car left Noble Manor and entered a forest path, Lu Fan handed a jade box to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan scanned the jade box with his Divine Sense and was shocked to find that it contained a Luminous stone.

This stone, often mistaken for the Luminous Pearl on Earth, was not the same. While the Luminous stone also glowed at night like the Luminous Pearl,

the difference was that the light emitted by the Luminous stone could not only illuminate the darkness; its rays, like those of the sun, could nurture life and provide nourishment...

In simple terms, having this Luminous stone was like possessing a small sun.

Ding Fan did not feign modesty and accepted it immediately. After all, the Luminous stone was incredibly important to him. Such a treasure was rare even in the Cultivation World. He had not expected Ren Susu to be so generous.

Seeing Ding Fan accept the Luminous stone, Lu Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

When Ren Susu gave him the Luminous stone, she had given a strict order that if it weren't successfully delivered, he should not return until it was. Only then could he come back!

Just as Lu Fan was secretly relieved that Ding Fan had accepted the Luminous stone, a huge boulder smashed towards their car without warning.

By the time Lu Fan glanced at the boulder, it was too late. He couldn't dodge it.

But in that split second, Lu Fan suddenly felt weightless...

Boom... The car was instantly smashed to pieces by the boulder!

When Lu Fan came to his senses, he found himself being held by Ding Fan, standing not far from the explosion site.

Lu Fan looked at the wrecked car, blinking in shock. He still couldn't understand how he ended up here.

"Wu Fatian, stop this nonsense. I will never be with you, so why insist on senseless killing!" A delicate and pleasant voice came from not far away.

Ding Fan put Lu Fan down and looked in the direction of the voice.

A few dozen meters away, a woman in white stood elegantly under the moonlight. Her figure was graceful, her hair gently swayed, and she was as ethereal as a fairy descending from the heavens.

"Ji Qing, you are destined to be my woman," the man opposite the fairy-like beauty said with his hands behind his back. His eyes didn't even glance at the exploded car. It seemed as if the explosion and the fate of those in the car were of no interest to him.
