Inside a side courtyard of the Lu family, a middle-aged man dressed in Daoist robes was currently practising calligraphy.
Ordinary people practising calligraphy hold a brush and draw on rice paper, but this middle-aged man was different.
This middle-aged man extended his index finger and drew in the empty air. With every stroke, golden lines were drawn in the void, subsequently forming dancing characters.
“I have long heard that the Lu family inherited the orthodox mystic arts of the Celestial Master Mansion, and that the Tongtian Script in particular is extraordinarily magical. Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation.” Annie watched from outside the door as the golden characters connected in the void. Tong
tian Script!
Orthodox mystic arts. Mount Longhu has two peerless divine arts in total. The first is the Five Thunder Art mastered by the Celestial Master Mansion and the successive Celestial Masters!
There is no need to say much about the Five Thunder Art. The old Celestial Master relied on this very art to fight his way up the various famous mountains back then. Be
cause thunder arts have always been ranked first in attack power within the cultivation world.
Not to mention various heterodox paths, even the orthodox mystic sects fear thunder and lightning!
As for the Tongtian Script, it is similar to a combination of talismans and formations!
All the great famous mountains have talismans that can communicate with the gods and bestow divine power!
Even ordinary Daoist priests can draw some talismans, and this Tongtian Script can be called the king among talismans! Ac
tually, the literal meaning alone explains everything. The two words ‘Tongtian’ are the best interpretation of this art!
Rumour has it that when the Tongtian Script is cultivated to the highest level, it can immobilise mountains, rivers, and flowing clouds, and can even seal dragon veins. It can be considered an extremely powerful art among orthodox mystic methods.
The fact that this middle-aged man could carve these script characters into the void shows that his attainment is truly extraordinary.
“Hehe, you flatter me, Annie. It has been a while and you have grown quite a bit. Come in quickly.” The middle-aged man tapped his finger and dispersed the script in the void, clearly sharing more than a casual familiarity with Annie.
“Father.” Lu Shuixian followed and walked in as well. This
middle-aged man was Lu Shuixian’s father, and also one of the chairmen of the Cultivator Association, named Lu Chuan! The
cultivation world has a total of ten chairmen, and the Lu family alone occupies two spots. More
over, being able to become a chairman at such a young age also indirectly proves Lu Chuan’s strength and ability.
Coupled with the Tongtian Script that Lu Chuan cultivates, in the cultivation world, Lu Chuan has even more prestige than Lu Heshan! ”
Father, what exactly happened?” Lu Shuixian asked as soon as she entered. The
meaning of these words was understood by everyone. She was asking Lu Chuan about the marriage alliance with Luo Wuji.
“I guessed you would definitely oppose this marriage.” Lu Chuan clasped his hands behind his back and sighed.
“Naturally. I am your daughter. Are you not clear on how much ability and potential I have?” ”
I, a proud daughter of heaven, am to marry a cripple. How could I be reconciled to this?” Lu Shuixian looked very unhappy.
“Actually, I am not entirely clear on this matter either. The old man forced it through.” Lu Chuan sat down on a chair in the study. ”
Then what is your opinion, Father?”
“My opinion?” Lu Chuan shook his head and then sneered.
“Let alone the fact that Luo Wuji is a cripple. Even if he had not been crippled and was still at the peak of China, I would still look down on him!” ”
I specifically searched online for his few fights. I do not know where he learned those heterodox paths, and he is merely a lowest-tier body cultivator. How could he ever catch my eye?” Lu Chuan said coldly. What
he cultivates and learns are the orthodox mystic arts of the Celestial Master Mansion, and moreover, the ultimate art of the Tongtian Script!
This is an orthodox art passed down from Celestial Master Zhang himself. But
what about that Luo Wuji? At
the very least, he, the heir of an orthodox mystic family, had never seen any orthodox cultivator who always fights in person. Only
those lowest-tier heterodox practitioners fight in person instead of using spells. He,
Lu Chuan, and the Lu family, are after all a dignified orthodox mystic family. If they were to take in a low-tier body cultivator, a rogue cultivator practising heterodox paths, as a son-in-law,
how could the Lu family ever survive in the cultivation world in the future? How
could they hold their heads high before the various famous mountains of the cultivation world? So
even if Luo Chen’s cultivation had not been crippled, he would truly look down on a low-tier rogue cultivator like Luo Chen. Be
cause a low-tier rogue cultivator is just a low-tier rogue cultivator. In this lifetime, they can only reach a certain level and never achieve great things. Furthermore, they fight like secular martial artists, actually using their hands. Would that not make people laugh? In
the cultivation world, who fights using their hands like secular martial artists?
They all summon the wind and call the rain. With a raise of their hands, they can control objects to kill. Their exchanges are as calm as a gentle breeze. These are the true cultivators! So
in Lu Chuan’s eyes, Luo Chen is merely a vulgar person. How could he possibly have the qualifications to be his son-in-law? More
over, his daughter was inherently a proud daughter of heaven. Even if she were to marry, that
marriage must be between families of equal social status! This
is the rule set by the ancestors.
But what about Luo Chen? A
mere Luo family. Although they are the richest family, and Luo Chen himself can be considered a general-level figure. But
those are merely things of the secular world. His
transcending cultivation family, detached from the mundane world, how could they possibly value such secular power? ”
Then what is your opinion, Father?” Lu Shuixian asked. She had no way to disobey her grandfather. After all, he was her grandfather, and in their kind of cultivation family, rules and moral principles were valued above all else! ”
Let us wait and see.” Lu Chuan looked at Lu Shuixian. ”
Your grandfather’s meaning is that although Luo Wuji’s cultivation was crippled, there is not necessarily no chance for him to recover.” ”
A chance to recover?”
“His cultivation was crippled in this era, and there is still a chance to recover?” Lu Shuixian asked in confusion. In
today’s global environment, cultivators are helpless against things like cancer, let alone a crippled cultivation? ”
The Dragon and Tiger Pill!” Lu Chuan spoke slowly.
“What?”
“The Dragon and Tiger Pill?” Lu Shuixian instantly showed a look of shock.
“He can obtain the Dragon and Tiger Pill?”
The Celestial Master Mansion’s attainment in the path of alchemy is no less than that of Shennong Valley. The reason Lu Shuixian was able to step halfway into the Awakening realm before the age of twenty was precisely because she consumed a massive amount of pills. And
the Dragon and Tiger Pill is the grand prize for every Cultivator Convention!
As long as one can win first place at the Cultivator Convention, they will be bestowed the Dragon and Tiger Pill.
“He has no cultivation left now, and cannot even participate in the Cultivator Convention. How can he get the Dragon and Tiger Pill?” Lu Shuixian asked.
“Is there not still me?” Lu Chuan sighed helplessly.
“Has grandfather gone mad?”
“Make you win first place, get the Dragon and Tiger Pill, and then hand it over to Luo Wuji?” Lu Shuixian finally understood.
“Your grandfather’s plan is for us to protect Luo Wuji first, then obtain the Dragon and Tiger Pill at the Cultivator Convention, and help him restore his cultivation. By then, Luo Wuji will be a member of our Lu family, and naturally, he will be able to protect our Lu family forever.” Lu Chuan spoke slowly. It
was just that as soon as these words were spoken, Lu Shuixian sneered.
“If the Dragon and Tiger Pill can be obtained, just give it directly to me. I might not necessarily be unable to surpass Luo Wuji!” ”
Then why would we need Luo Wuji to protect our Lu family?”
