Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques

Chapter 152 Welcoming Distinguished Guests

That's enough for this fool to say what he needs to say, and then he can die.

Lu Tianren thought to himself, and at the same time waved his hand, a light green magic power danced at his fingertips, and then turned into a stream of light that flowed into Zhao Wushuang's body.

At this moment, Zhao Wushuang felt refreshed and his mind became much clearer.

He was overjoyed, thinking that the damned restriction on his body had finally been lifted.

"You don't need to rush. Just tell this immortal master the whole story. With my protection, that woman Su Zhenyue won't dare to touch you."

Lu Tianren spoke casually with a faint smile.

Zhao Wushuang was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly, wishing she could give her life to Lu Tianren.

"Yes, yes, Master Lu, I will follow you from now on."

"Here's what happened: Master Su had previously ordered me to investigate the Chen family of Black Lion City..."

Then, Zhao Wushuang, without any further reservations, recounted the whole story.

After listening, Lu Tianren fell into deep thought, his gaze gradually darkening.

"Chen Yan, no... Chen Han, this man is extremely cunning. I witnessed it during the Eagle Falcon Mountain inheritance, and it impressed me greatly then. And now he's come up with such a scheme in the capital..."

"Not only does he clearly analyze the situation and accurately guess our thoughts, but he also has considerable courage and dares to think and act. Tsk tsk tsk, he is really not simple. Not to mention Su Zhenyue, even I underestimate him."

In this confrontation between Su Zhenyue and Chen Han, what Lu Tianren admired most was Chen Han's courage. Realizing that a crisis was imminent, he dared to counter each move, showing both courage and wisdom. Without mentioning his strategy, such a character is quite rare.

It seems that Su Zhenyue, that woman, is going to fall into that kid's hands.

Based on his understanding of Chen Han, he knew that Chen Han had probably made all the preparations beforehand, and even if he rushed over now, it would most likely be too late.

Chen Han, you're making me feel more and more threatened.

Chen Han's willingness to face Su Zhenyue, a cultivator, alone proves that he has successfully drawn Qi into his body through the inheritance of Eagle Falcon Mountain and entered the first level of the mortal body realm.

Drawing qi into the body is nothing special; it only makes one a half-cultivator because their magical power is not pure enough, and they cannot use most magical artifacts and spells.

The first level of the mortal body corresponds to the early stage of Qi Refining in a magic cultivation world. The magic power is pure enough to use many magic tools and spells in the cultivation world, and the cultivator has the strength to kill other cultivators of the same level.

Within the inheritance, there is a high probability that there are magical artifacts and talismans; this is beyond doubt, and Lu Tianren was naturally aware of this.

Now that Chen Han possesses magical artifacts and talismans, he feels a great sense of crisis. Even his fingers, which habitually tap the table as he ponders, have become erratic, sometimes heavy and sometimes urgent, clearly reflecting his restless state of mind.

Lu Tianren took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down. He pointed at a constable and said, "You, take a few martial arts masters and go and arrest all of Chen Han's close relatives. Oh, and that Constable Zhuge too."

"yes!"

He responded and then left in the blink of an eye with several martial arts masters.

From the events recounted by Zhao Wushuang, Lu Tianren learned one thing: Chen Han was a man of great loyalty and righteousness.

He could use this to force Chen Han to comply, but he knew Chen Han's character well; this person would not do anything foolish and put himself in danger because of this.

Of course, Lu Tianren didn't intend to do that, otherwise it would have led to a fight to the death.

I don't know much about Chen Han's immortal techniques and magical artifacts yet, so I definitely can't take the risk... Should I use his closest relatives to force him to commit suicide? Or should I hand over all the magical artifacts and then kill them all?

No, Chen Han would never do something so foolish... Then let's extort his spirit stones and magical artifacts. If all of them aren't enough, then a portion of them. Then return to the cultivation world and stay far away from this person.

Before long, Zhuge Rushuang was brought to the palace bound hand and foot.

She was covered in bruises, her black hair cascading over her shoulders. She knelt before Lu Tianren, gritting her teeth, breathing rapidly and weakly. One of her legs seemed to be injured, trembling uncontrollably. She was clearly fighting back but ultimately couldn't overcome the odds.

"Why is she alone? Where are Chen Han's closest relatives?"

The martial arts master who had been given the order knelt down and bowed, replying, "Reporting to the Immortal Master, they have all disappeared without a trace. My guess is that Zhuge the Divine Constable took them away from the capital."

"Just now, I subjected her to severe torture, but she refused to yield even when she was almost beaten to death."

Chen Han had anticipated that Su Zhenyue would target his family again in an attempt to lure him out, so he instructed Zhuge Rushuang to protect her well and take her away if necessary.

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianren's face darkened. He looked at the tall and aloof female constable in the center of the hall, his eyes revealing deep surprise.

"Zhuge Divine Constable, I'm very curious. What ability does that kid have that makes you so determined? If you think about it, you've only known each other for about half a year, maybe even less. What does it matter to you whether he lives or dies? Why are you willing to suffer this physical pain for him? Why are you doing this?"

Zhuge Rushuang stared at the floor beneath her, her gaze still cold and aloof. She gritted her teeth, her lips tightly pressed together, and remained silent.

"Alright then, as a cultivator, I swear on my Dao heart that if you tell me the whereabouts of Chen Han's closest relatives, I will bestow upon you the title of a king, a king who commands the greatest military power in the imperial city. At that time, even the emperor will not dare to speak ill of you..."

Upon hearing this, all the warriors present were stunned, and then their hearts pounded with fear.

The greatest military power belongs to the four hundred black-armored imperial guards, each of whom is a martial artist!

Let alone martial arts masters, even ten third-step martial arts masters could be overwhelmed by their combined attacks.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that controlling such military power is equivalent to controlling the entire Chu Kingdom. At that time, Zhuge Rushuang would be the undisputed empress.

In fact, Lu Tianren would indeed do just that, and the emperor wouldn't dare say anything. If things didn't work out, he could just kill him and find another prince to succeed him. Even if there were righteous cultivators involved, they wouldn't be able to find out anything.

Moreover, he had sworn an oath with his Dao heart, and this matter was implicitly witnessed by the laws of heaven and earth. If he violated it, although he would not be struck by lightning, it would still cause his cultivation to be unsuccessful and his Dao heart to be unstable. It was not worth violating it at all.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhuge Rushuang remained unmoved by these words, as if she hadn't heard them at all.

"How ungrateful!"

Just as Lu Tianren was about to fly into a rage and kill the woman, he let out a soft "hmm," as if he had seen some strange object.

With a wave of his hand, his magical power surged, and the object flew out of Zhuge Rushuang's arms and into Lu Tianren's hand.

"A sensing talisman, tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Chen Han to give you this thing. It seems you hold some weight in his heart."
