BAB 15 : Fierce Conflict

The elders of the Lu family secretly contradicted each other, which many people knew about, but the direct conflict scenes on the surface never appeared, at least not in front of the large number of Lu family members.

And now, it was clear that there would be a fierce conflict.

Hence, all of the Lu family members stared at the stage with wide eyes, not knowing how this incident would end.

After all, even though Third Elder Lu Tianxing was powerful, his authority within the Lu family should be somewhat lower than Great Elder Lu Yongfang or Ninth Elder Lu Xianzhi, but he challenged both Grand Elder and Ninth Elder at once.

Hence, it was most likely that this incident would still end with Lu Chen being kicked out of the Lu family residence.

Even leader Lu Jinyun would not forcibly reject the proposals of the Great Elders and Ninth Elders.

"Third Elder, calm down, this is the clan rule, even though Lu Chen is your grandson, you can't break it for his sake." Lu Xianzhi said in a low voice as he narrowed his eyes.

"Ninth Elder, are you saying that I don't know the clan rules or want to break them? There is a clan rule, but it only requires ordinary members to leave the Lu family compound, but doesn't say that important members like alchemists also have to leave the Lu family residence," said Lu Tianxing sneered.

Lu Xianzhi mentioned the clan rules, which is absolutely ridiculous.

There were clan rules, but everyone knew that not all ordinary members of the Lu family would leave the Lu family residence once they reached adulthood, and this situation was not uncommon. Basically, in the coming of age ceremony every two or three years, some ordinary members choose to live in the Lu family residence. As long as that person had a close relationship with the Great Elder, this could be done with words from him.

Because leader Lu Jinyun didn't really care about such things.

"Haha" Lu Yongfang laughed. "Third Elder, we all acknowledge that Lu Chen is a junior alchemist, but even if Lu Chen is a junior alchemist, there are no exceptions. A junior alchemist isn't that important, right? I think since the Ninth Elder has made his decision, we should respect the decision of the Ninth Elder. This coming-of-age ceremony is presided over by the Ninth Elder."

Junior alchemists are indeed not taken seriously. After all, the lowest grade pill, the Bone Refining Pill, is easy to buy In Wind City.

there are many junior alchemists. However, if it was an intermediate alchemist, it would be different, because the ratio of junior alchemists to intermediate alchemists in Wind City was barely a hundred to one.

In the Lu family, there are many junior alchemists, but there are only three intermediate alchemists, and only one senior alchemist.

Lu Xianzhi had a high status in the Lu family because he is a senior alchemist. If not for this status, Lu Xianzhi would not be able to serve as the Ninth Elder of the Lu family, for he was fated not to have too many achievements in martial arts. He was only a cultivator of the third rank. If he didn't have so many superfluous resources at his disposal, he wouldn't even be able to step into the Heaven Innate Realm.

"Who said Lu Chen is a junior alchemist?" Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes and looked at Lu Yongfang.

In the eyes of the Lu family, their first impression of Lu Tianxing was that he was very powerful, and their second impression was that he had a calm temperament and treated others with humility. However, this does not mean that Lu Tianxing is is easy to bully.

If there was a real fight, even if there are two Lu Yongfang joined forces, they might not be able to defeat Lu Tianxing.

Many members of the Lu family believed that Lu Tianxing was the number one ruler within the Lu family, and perhaps only the leader who is equal to Lu Tianxing.

With such strength, how could Lu Tianxing be afraid of Lu Yongfang?

"Oh?" Lu Yongfang was shocked.

Not only Lu Yongfang, but also the leader, Lu Jinyun, looked at Lu Tianxing in a daze. The other elders also showed suspicious eyes.

"Lu Chen, come and tell the Great Elders and the Ninth Elders about your strength in pill refinement," Lu Tianxing said as he looked at Lu Chen.

"I'm already a senior alchemist," Lu Chen said in a loud voice.

Before Lu Chen stepped into the Body Refining Realm, he was an intermediate alchemist. And it had been more than a month since Lu Chen stepped into the Body Refining Realm. He had not only reached the middle stage of the Body Refining Realm, but had also stepped into the ranks of senior alchemists.

Half a month ago, Lu Chen had successfully refined Marrow Refining Pill, and now he is capable of making 100% high grade Marrow Refining Pill, and even made a bottle of Marrow Refining Pill with perfect grade.

"That's not possible!"

"How dare you little brat lie to me!" Lu Yongfang, the Great Elder, immediately scolded in a loud voice.

Lu Xianzhi's already gloomy face became even more somber at this moment.

When Lu Chen said this, even Lu Tianxing was somewhat surprised.

Even though he knew that Lu Chen could make Body Refining Pills with high quality, he asked Lu Chen back then, and what Lu Chen had told him was that he was still an intermediate alchemist. In just a month, he had become a senior alchemist?

Lu Tianxing had never expected it, so he was taken aback.

"Lu Chen, don't talk nonsense!" said Leader Lu Jinyun seriously as he frowned.

What Lu Chen said was as if he had treated everyone in the Lu family as fools!

"Hahaha, how ridiculous! Lu Chen, you are really stupid, you dare to boast like that? If you say that you are an intermediate alchemist, it is still possible, but you say that you are a senior alchemist. are you stupid?" said Lu Yan, who was standing beside him, in a loud voice while laughing out loud.

Lu Yan was so arrogant that several elders frowned slightly, but no one scolded Lu Yan. They all thought what Lu Chen said was too upsetting.

If the senior alchemist could show up easily, the Lu family wouldn't only have one senior alchemist.

"Lu Yan, your mouth really stinks!" Lu Chen waved his hand, as if he really smelled something bad.

"Shit! Lu Chen, you are courting death!" Lu Yan was furious, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like he really wanted to do something to Lu Chen.

[author : ah... the classic "courting death"]

"Lu Yan, in my eyes, you are actually nothing but trash. I am too lazy to pay attention to you, but you are too confident. If you continue to provoke me, I don't mind teaching you a lesson," Lu Chen said indifferently as he glanced at Lu Yan.

"Lu Chen!" call Lu Tianxing.

"Third Elder, don't blame me, you've seen it, it was Lu Yan who provoked me first and I had no other choice," said Lu Chen.

In front of outsiders, Lu Chen referred to Lu Tianxing as Third Elder, not grandfather.

"You bastard, Lu Chen, I originally thought you were just an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate, but now it seems that your moral caliber is very poor. In front of the leader and elders, you dare to deceive. For someone like you, we have to punish you with the Family Law," Lu Yongfang shouted angrily.

Lu Chen said that his grandson, Lu Yan, was trash again and again, and naturally, he was furious. What's more, Lu Yan was one of the best young members of the Lu family, and Lu Chen actually called Lu Yan trash.

"Great Elder, when did I deceive you? If there is no evidence, as the family's Great Elder, you cannot speak nonsense." Lu Chen widened his eyes and looked at Lu Yongfang in disbelief.

"You bastard!" Lu Yongfang wanted to curse again, his whole body trembled, how could he be taught by the younger generation in public, how could he afford it.

"Leader, I think it is necessary to use the Family Law to punish this ungrateful bastard," Lu Yongfang said as he turned to look at Lu Jinyun.

If Lu Chen was not disabled, it would be difficult to release the anger in his heart.

Using the Family Law meant turning Lu Chen over to the law enforcers of the Lu family. In the eyes of every member of the Lu family, the law enforcement team was terrifying. So far, none of the members caught by the law enforcement team, regardless of status, have escaped unharmed. Of course, as long as they don't make big mistakes, most of the Lu family members will not be allowed to get involved.

"this.." Lu Jinyun glanced at Lu Tianxing.

In fact, Lu Jinyun still interested in Lu Chen. When Lu Chen was young, Lu Jinyun hugged Lu Chen many times. If not for his love for Lu Chen, Lu Jinyun's daughter, Lu Yanran, would not have been able to play with Lu Chen all day long when she was a child.

"Great Elder, take a look at this." Lu Chen took out a porcelain bottle and threw it at Lu Yongfang.

Lu Yongfang snorted coldly, but accepted the bottle anyway and looked at Lu Chen with a frown.

"Great Elder, take a look at this pill before you speak." Lu Chen pursed his lips and smiled.

"Hum, I'll see what tricks you can play," Lu Yongfang said and opened the porcelain bottle.

"This is..." Lu Yongfang's facial expression was so interesting that he didn't even know that he could easily fit an egg into his gaping mouth.

"Great Elder, what's wrong? What kind of pill is it? Could it be the Body Refining Pills?" Lu Xianzhi saw that Lu Yongfang's expression was not right, and he didn't reply for a long time before he asked a question.

"Ninth Elder, you're wrong, this isn't a Body Refining Medicine," Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Of course, I know it's not a Body Refining Pill." Lu Xianzhi glared at Lu Chen.

"Ninth Elder, rest assured, I haven't finished speaking yet, but there is actually a Marrow Refining Pill inside the bottle." Lu Chen continued to smile.

"what did you say?" Lu Xianzhi's eyes widened.

"I said that there is a Marrow Refining Pill inside, and it is a high quality Marrow Refining Pill," Lu Chen said, he originally wanted to take out a perfect garde Marrow Refining Pill, but he held back at the last moment. If the perfect pill was released in public, he was afraid that the entire Wind City would be shaken. With so many people present, the news couldn't be completely hidden.

"H, High quality?" Lu Xianzhi stuttered, his eyes turned sharp, and he began to understand why Grand Elder's expression was so strange.

High Quality Marrow Refining Pill! Even Lu Xianzhi himself couldn't!

"Lu Chen, tell me! How did you get this bottle of Marrow Refining Pill?" Lu Yongfang finally reacted and asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes staring like a bull's eye.

He couldn't believe that this pill was made by Lu Chen. With his abilities, of course, he could be certain that the porcelain bottle in his hand was a genuine Marrow Refining Pill of high quality, and absolutely not fake.

The question is, how did Lu Chen get it? In the Lu Family Treasure Pavilion, there was indeed a high quality Marrow Refining Pill, which was obtained at an auction for a high price. Every bottle is precious and well protected. It was absolutely impossible for Lu Chen to steal a high quality Marrow Refining Pill from the Treasure Pavilion.
