You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

The Lu family's outer courtyard martial arts training ground.

"Is it noon?" Lu Heng looked up at the sky, raising his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight, only to be surprised to find that the sun was already high in the sky.

Although in his mind the first time he practiced was over in an instant, at least two hours had passed.

No wonder the middle-aged man with blue eyes was so impatient; he probably already knew he would have to wait a long time.

It's no wonder that a cultivator from the Qi Refining Secret Realm, responsible for doing this kind of thing, would have a bad temper.

After waiting for a while longer.

The boys in the training ground gradually opened their eyes and stood up.

Lu Heng was speechless, yet he naturally realized that among the teenagers who were waking up one after another, ordinary people were the most numerous!

The number of boys dressed in fine clothes was clearly far less than that of ordinary boys.

However, in the training ground, the number of teenagers still meditating cross-legged was already greater than that of ordinary teenagers.

"Is this the difference in talent?" Lu Heng couldn't help but wonder.

The difference in talent can likely lead to vastly different results in the cultivation of martial arts techniques.

With his talent, which is perhaps considered below average among hundreds of teenagers, he can only achieve one level of progress in one session of the Basic Body Refining Method.

However, for those with higher talent, two or three progress points at a time are probably the bare minimum.

If it were a true genius, a progress bar of 10 points, or even more, wouldn't be impossible.

"I don't know how many times I can practice the Basic Body Refinement Method each day, but I hope it can be more than three times."

Suddenly, Lu Heng realized a very serious problem!

It now seems that he makes progress every time he practices the Basic Body Refinement Method.

He only has one month left, and even if he can cultivate three times a day, he can only make 90% progress in a month.

If that's the case, before he can truly unleash the advantages of his cheat ability, he might lose his qualification to cultivate!

Putting everything else aside, it's clear that the method of advancement is beyond his current ability as a member of a branch of the Lu family.

This goes without saying that cultivation would inevitably require a huge amount of resources.

………………

After some time, after everyone else had opened their eyes, the three geniuses finally opened their eyes, ending their first training session.

"If you can persist for this long on your first try, you'll probably have a chance to master it in three days..."

Lu Heng overheard a young man in fine clothes muttering to himself, his words filled with undisguised envy.

After the three geniuses finished their first training session, the middle-aged man with blue eyes, who had been silent for a long time in front of hundreds of teenagers, coughed lightly.

The hundreds of teenagers, who were initially a bit restless from their first training session, instantly fell silent.

"Alright, your first training session is over."

Remember, if there is no spiritual food, you can practice a maximum of three times a day if you have enough food.

If you are greedy and insatiable, you will bear the consequences.

As Lu Heng expected, this was most likely the middle-aged man with blue eyes who was in charge of hundreds of branch family youths.

Upon hearing that he might only be able to cultivate three times a day, Lu Heng subconsciously pursed his lips, showing little negative emotion, and chose to continue listening to the middle-aged man with blue eyes.

After informing him of the number of daily cultivation sessions, the middle-aged man with blue eyes continued, "From now on, all of you can go to the canteen every day to collect a low-grade spiritual food."

As for ordinary food, it is unlimited, but you can only take as much as you want, and if you can't finish it, you have to compensate your family tenfold.

Also remember, the sacred food must be eaten on the spot; anyone attempting to take it out will be killed without mercy!

Lu Heng felt a sense of relief instantly. The middle-aged man with blue eyes had indeed said that under normal circumstances, one could only cultivate three times a day.

But he also said that this was only true when there was no spiritual food.

Even if it's classified as low-grade, being able to be given the title "spirit" should at least allow him to cultivate once more each day!

If that's the case, then as long as he doesn't slack off, he will definitely be able to master the "Basic Body Refining Method" within a month.

The most pressing crisis has been temporarily resolved.

Only now could Lu Heng finally breathe a sigh of relief.

But even now, the middle-aged man with blue eyes still had much to say.

He continued, "One month. You only have one month."

If one cannot grasp the basics of the "Basic Body Refining Method" within a month, the consequences are self-evident.

"The family doesn't need a useless person who can't cultivate!"

"This is the third time already," Lu Heng thought to himself.

The middle-aged man with blue eyes repeated three times: "The family has no need for useless people who can't cultivate."

This was probably the only act of kindness the middle-aged man with blue eyes showed, even though they were from the same family.

Sometimes, reminders are one thing, and knowing is another, but human strength has its limits, and people's talents are always different, especially in this world.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say."

Having said that, if you complete the Foundation Establishment within a month, come find me.

If you fail to complete the Foundation Establishment stage, you will bear the consequences yourself.

"You three, remember to come find me later." Looking at the three geniuses among the hundreds of teenagers, the middle-aged man with blue eyes gently reminded them.

After saying that, he left without looking up.

Watching the middle-aged man with blue eyes leave, Lu Heng felt it was only natural, but couldn't help but complain.

The middle-aged man with blue eyes was indeed in charge of their group of branch-out youths, just as he had previously thought.

But being responsible is one thing, but who says that being in charge means you have to be responsible?

Apart from three geniuses who could earn the Qing Tong middle-aged man's high regard, the other youths, even those dressed in fine clothes, were ultimately just from branch families, and their families most likely did not have any Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

In his eyes, it was naturally just like dust.

"Come with me." After the middle-aged man with blue eyes left, several servants of the Lu clan who had been guarding the martial arts arena walked into the arena and said expressionlessly.

He was a servant of the Lu family, or rather, a servant born into the family.

They were naturally not qualified to cultivate, but over the years, they had witnessed too many different kinds of people among the children who had separated from their families.

This also made them realize that if they were born into a branch family of the Lu clan and had no talent for cultivation, they would be no better than servants and attendants like themselves.

At least these servants are careful with their words and actions. As long as they aren't too unlucky and don't encounter their master in a bad mood and want to vent, they can still live past thirty.

At the same time, the emperor's brother-in-law held the position of one of the three highest officials, and the prime minister's family members held the rank of a seventh-grade official.

They were indeed servants, but they were servants of the main Lu family, not ordinary branch family members.

A sense of superiority arises spontaneously, and naturally, there is not much respect.

"Where are they going? They must be going to the cafeteria." Lu Heng immediately realized why the servants had come out.

For the branch families who haven't yet reached the Foundation Establishment stage, the most crucial task at present is to complete the entry-level process within 30 days.

If it cannot be done, then everything is in vain, and naturally there is no need for it.

The cultivation of the Body Refining Secret Realm focuses on body refining and qi and blood cultivation. For everyone, dietary supplements are essential.

As the saying goes, "the poor study literature, the rich study martial arts." Ordinary families simply cannot afford to support the initial training of the Body Refining Secret Realm. Fortunately, this task is undertaken by the Lu family.

Otherwise, the Lu clan would have had no need to hold the [Awakening Ritual] at all.

As expected, they were now being led to the dining hall by servants from the Lu family.
