Becoming a god begins with the evolution of acupoint supernatural powers.

Feilong Martial Arts School, one of the "Three Schools" among the "Two Gangs, Three Schools, and Three Families" in Chiyun County, is located in the south of the city and covers a large area.

However, the martial arts school's facade looks unremarkable and its decor is relatively simple. Only the two characters "Flying Dragon" on the plaque are quite eye-catching, written in a vigorous and elegant style.

Inside the martial arts school, Liu Feilong sat in the living room.

He had a broad back and a narrow waist, and even when he was sitting in a chair, he gave people a sense of power. His eyes were bright and piercing, as if he could fly out at any moment.

Today, in order to receive Lu Ming, he specially closed the museum for a day, waiting for Lu Ming to arrive.

After all, the Li family has done us a great favor, so this matter must be handled with utmost care.

"Father, my future husband must at least be a disciple of a sect."

A beautiful woman dressed in a brocade dress walked into the living room; she was Liu Feilong's only daughter, Liu Yiyi.

As soon as Liu Yiyi entered the room, she said to Liu Feilong with some dissatisfaction.

"Can Lu Ming become a disciple of a sect? I want someone who is at least a third-rate disciple like Senior Zhou."

"Lu Ming came from a commoner background, he..."

Seeing Liu Feilong frown, Liu Yiyi paused and quickly changed her words:

"I don't look down on ordinary people, the problem is that martial arts cultivation inherently requires a lot of resources..."

Liu Feilong interrupted her, saying:

"I have plenty of resources."

"Lu Ming, with his Skin Refining cultivation, was able to defeat Chu Wufeng, who had temporarily broken through to the Great Perfection of Skin Refining, so his talent must be quite good."

"Didn't you see that even the Pavilion Master Qin of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was alarmed by this and exchanged cultivation techniques with Lu Ming?"

"The situation in the city is complicated right now, and our Flying Dragon Martial Arts School may not be able to remain neutral indefinitely. You are my only daughter, and if the forces in the city intend to win me over, they may very well use you as a breakthrough point."

"It's fine with other people, but if Zhou Zhen personally comes to propose marriage on behalf of someone else... then you'll have even fewer choices and be in a more rushed situation."

"Your marriage should be settled soon, if not with Lu Ming, then someone else. Let's see what he's like first."

Liu Yiyi pouted unhappily, rolled her eyes slightly, and finally hesitated before saying:

"All right."

At this moment, a servant came to report that Lu Ming was requesting an audience.

Liu Feilong immediately glanced at Liu Yiyi.

Liu Yiyi moved gracefully with light, lotus-like steps, turning to the back of the hall. Her beautiful eyes flashed as she looked towards the outside of the hall and saw a young man in white walking in.

"Lu Ming pays his respects to Uncle Liu."

Lu Ming entered the hall and greeted Liu Feilong politely.

"Yes, Nephew Lu, you are a young hero. I heard about you the other day and have been wanting to meet you for a long time. Today, I see that you are indeed a man of great talent."

Upon seeing Lu Ming's handsome appearance, calm and composed demeanor, and impeccable manners, Liu Feilong immediately felt a sense of goodwill and said with a smile, "Sit down, there's no need to be nervous."

"Yes." Lu Ming sat down as instructed.

"I received a favor from the Li family patriarch in my younger days. I never expected that the entire Li family would move away now. I was going to see them off, but they quietly left in the early hours of the morning..."

Liu Feilong sighed and chatted with Lu Ming for a while.

It wasn't until half an hour later that they got to the point, staring intently at Lu Ming and saying:

"I heard you've reached the Great Perfection of Skin Refining?"

Lu Ming cupped his hands and said, "I broke through by sheer luck the day before yesterday."

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Liu Feilong's eyes, and he nodded, saying:

"In just one and a half months, you've gone from an ordinary person to a master of skin refining. Your talent is quite impressive."

"If I could get the help of a cultivation elixir, I would have a chance to rank in the top fifty in the Martial Arts Department's grand examination."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming thought to himself, "It seems that the Li family didn't tell Liu Feilong about the Ganlin Powder formula they gave him."

Liu Feilong continued:

"The reason why my Flying Dragon Martial Arts School can stand in the city is naturally because it has a great cultivation medicine called the Qi-Boosting Pill. Taking one pill a day makes one day of cultivation equivalent to four days for an ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming was greatly moved.

The Qi-boosting pill has such an effect.

One day of cultivation is equivalent to four days of ordinary practice; this effect is twice that of Qi-Nourishing Powder!

One day of practicing with the Qi-Nourishing Powder is equivalent to two days of practice for others.

His talent for cultivation was not outstanding, which resulted in his cultivation progress being slow.

If he only takes Qi-Nourishing Powder, it's still uncertain whether he can break through to the Body Refining stage by the time of the final exam.

After all, there is only a month and a half left until the big exam.

Seeing his expression, Liu Feilong smiled and said:

"Of course, Qi-boosting pills are quite expensive, and even in my Flying Dragon Martial Arts School, not everyone can afford them."

"However, if it's my family, then of course I'll give them priority."

"I have an only daughter, who is also eighteen years old this year, and like you, she is a disciple of the Martial Arts Department."

"I'm looking for a suitable son-in-law, and I think you're quite good. What do you think?"

Lu Ming suddenly realized that this was the "opportunity" that Li Youning had mentioned.

Indeed, becoming Liu Feilong's son-in-law is, for an ordinary person, a chance to rise to the top in one step.

However, he possesses a supernatural power panel and has a bright future, but he has no intention of getting married at this time.

The kind of life Li Youning led, one filled with worry and entanglements for his family, was not what he wanted.

However, since Liu Feilong brought it up, it wouldn't be appropriate to refuse outright.

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and asked, "May I ask, Uncle, does 'recruiting a son-in-law' mean... marrying into the family?"

Liu Feilong nodded and said, "I only have this one daughter, and it's impossible for me to marry her off."

"This huge Flying Dragon Martial Arts School that I've built up must be inherited by someone in the future."

"My daughter's martial arts talent basically stops at the Tendon Refining stage. She can't keep this martial arts school in check, so we need someone with even greater talent to safeguard this foundation."

In martial arts training, the first three stages are refining the skin, refining the flesh, and refining the tendons.

Liu Feilong's strength has surpassed the Tendon Refining Realm and reached the Bone Forging Realm, a higher level!

That's why Flying Dragon Martial Arts School was able to become one of the "Three Schools" and a top-tier force in Chiyun County.

Liu Feilong's words subtly implied that he would pass the Feilong Martial Arts School on to his son-in-law in the future.

This is a great temptation for others.

However, Lu Mingzhi was focused on his sect and was not fortunate enough to enjoy such a lucrative opportunity.

He looked apologetic and said:

"Thank you for your kind offer, Uncle. However, although my family is poor and my parents have passed away, I am the only son in the family. Please forgive me for not being able to agree to the marriage."

Liu Feilong frowned and pondered for a moment:

"If we have a second son in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea to let him take the surname Lu."

Lu Ming shook his head again: "I'm sorry."

Liu Feilong paused for a moment, then said:

"Go and wait in the outer hall."

"Yes." Lu Ming got up and left.

As soon as he left, Liu Yiyi walked out gracefully behind him, watching Lu Ming's departing figure, and pouted slightly.

Liu Feilong asked, "Yiyi, what do you think of him?"

Liu Yiyi snorted and said, "So-so, but more pleasing to the eye than I remembered. However, she's too arrogant."

Liu Feilong said, "He is unwilling to marry into the family. If you are willing to marry him, I will not stop you."

Liu Yiyi's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly: "Impossible! Even if he makes it into the top 50 in the big exam with his father's support, it's still uncertain whether he can become a disciple of the sect."

"Why should I marry him? He's arrogant and proud, and he gave up the opportunity. He missed it, so I can only say he's not lucky enough to have it."

"Let's drop this matter."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Liu Feilong sighed inwardly, thinking to himself, "Li Mingyuan, I have done my best."

He immediately called out, "Someone, take these two bottles of Qi-boosting pills to young friend Lu and tell him to go back and cultivate diligently so that he can break through as soon as possible."

He then took out two jade bottles and handed them to the servant amidst the servant's astonished gaze, watching the servant leave.

He thought to himself, "From now on, I owe the Li family nothing."

In the outer hall, Lu Ming received two bottles of Qi-boosting pills, his eyes lighting up. Sure enough, this trip had yielded some results.

He quietly shook the bottle; there were about fifteen Qi-boosting pills inside.

Two bottles, that's thirty pills, enough for him to use for a month. This exceeded his expectations.

He thanked them and left the Flying Dragon Martial Arts School in high spirits.

Next, he went to various pharmacies in the city to buy the medicine needed for Ganlin Powder.

To his astonishment, two hundred taels of silver only yielded 20 doses of Ganlin Powder. Each dose of Ganlin Powder cost ten taels of silver, which was outrageously expensive.

It should be noted that in Chiyun County, an average family might not be able to save 10 taels of silver even if they worked all year without eating or drinking.

No wonder people say that scholars are poor and martial arts are rich; martial arts are simply a money pit.

The 200 taels of silver were gone just like that. Lu Ming felt a pang of heartache. He hadn't even had a chance to enjoy the silver before it was gone.

Fortunately, the cultivation elixirs he obtained today are enough for him to use for a while.

As the sun was about to set, he carried a large bundle and hurried back to the Military Service Office in the east of the city.

He had just arrived in the east of the city and passed through an alley. The red glow of the setting sun was obscured by the tall restaurants nearby, and it suddenly became dark and hazy here.

As they approached the other end of the alley, the view suddenly opened up, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, causing Lu Ming to squint.

Just then, a bright light slashed straight down, carrying an unstoppable momentum, as if bursting forth from the rosy clouds. By the time he noticed it, it was already right in front of him.
