Seeing this, Lu Zheng's expression instantly turned serious, and he stepped forward.

Place your palms on the tops of their heads.

This moment was solemn and dignified.

It is clear that he accepted the loyalty of the two men.

Then, looking at the burly man beside him, he said, "Wei Tong, this must be your son?"

"Yes, sir, it is my son, Wei Cheng. His cultivation has now broken through to the Meridian Opening stage. If we were to fight head-on, he could contend with True Essence." As Wei Tong spoke, he looked at his son with a hint of pride in his eyes.

Lu Zheng nodded, then turned to Zhao Xin and asked, "Does the border army have suitable heavy armor?"

Given Wei Cheng's physique, if he were to don heavy armor and wield a pair of warhammers, Lu Zheng truly couldn't imagine anyone who could rival him.

"Haha, of course there is. There is a set of black iron and steel armor in the border army. It was originally made as a gift for Marquis Duyang, but some mistakes were made and it was made too heavy, so a lighter one was replaced."

"Although the former is heavier, it has stronger defense. Even a typical innate cultivator might not be able to break through it. I'll have someone send it over right away," Zhao Xin said immediately.

Lu Zheng hadn't expected to gain two retainers today.

After all, this meant that Wei Tong was putting the lives of his entire family on Lu Zheng's shoulders.

However, this was certainly a good thing for Lu Zheng.

Then, he ordered his personal guards to retrieve armor from the border army's warehouse.

Lu Zheng helped Wei Tong and the other man up, saying, "Let's eat together."

The two of them were no longer being polite, after all, they had become Lu Zheng's retainers.

This place can be considered their home.

It's important to understand that retainers hold a very high position in a family; they are second only to the head of the household and the mistress of the house.

Now that Lu Zheng is not married, the people with the highest status in the family are Wei Tong and his son.

With more people, the atmosphere is better, and the meal is finished.

Zhao Xin and his son left.

Lu Kun drank quite a bit and went to rest by himself.

Only Lu Zheng and the Wei family father and son remained in the room.

The former looked at the armor that had already been delivered and said to Wei Cheng, "Try it on."

Without further ado, the latter immediately picked up his armor and put it on.

A moment later, an extremely imposing figure appeared in front of Lu Zheng.

Standing over two meters tall, he wore a black armor with a breastplate that gleamed coldly. Each armor plate was intricately interlocked as if by a precise machine, and he even had gauntlets.

The lion-head belt around his waist revealed a hint of ferocity.

On the left shoulder guard is a ferocious tiger.

"How does it look on you?" Lu Zheng asked with satisfaction, looking at Wei Cheng, who was now more than two sizes too big.

With such an iron tower guarding me, I'll be much safer in the future.

"Master, it's as light as if you're not wearing anything," Wei Cheng said in a low voice.

As a member of a military family, he had a habit of wearing armor and practicing martial arts since childhood, and he also possessed divine strength.

This armor looks heavy, but when Wei Cheng wears it, it looks just like an ordinary person wearing clothes.

"Okay, you'll stay by my side from now on."

"Yes, sir!" Wei Cheng replied immediately.

Next, Lu Zheng looked at Wei Tong. He had earned a lot of money at the Medicine King Pavilion this time, which he would definitely convert into estates and pills.

At this moment, he took out a wooden box and handed it to Wei Tong: "There are 1.5 million taels of silver here. You are responsible for turning this silver into a manor, manor soldiers, and pills to improve their cultivation."

If there's anything, discuss it with my second uncle.

From now on, he will be in charge of the operation of the estate, and you will be in charge of military affairs within the estate.

When I come back next time, I hope to see a capable army.

At the very least, they can't be inferior to the border troops.

"Master, with this silver, doubling the value of our estate is no problem at all. I'll make preparations as soon as I get back," Wei Tong said immediately.

At the same time, excitement appeared on his face.

I knew I hadn't misjudged him. With more than ten estates, he was considered a powerful figure, not too big, not too small, in the northern frontier.

It can gather thousands of people at any time.

That's already very strong.

"Alright, then go and prepare. I will try my best to expand the number of estates we have now." After Lu Zheng finished speaking, Wei Tong left.

As for Wei Cheng, he stayed at Lu Zheng's official residence.

Looking forward to setting off tomorrow.

After finishing most of the business, Lu Zheng continued his cultivation.

It didn't stop until late at night.

Then, he opened the system space.

Name: Lu Zheng

Age: 17

[Cultivation Level: Mid-stage Blood Refining Realm]

[Martial Arts Technique: Fourth-Rank Low-Grade Martial Art "Dragon Elephant Demonic Art" (3829/10000 Minor Success)]

[Medical Skill: "Mu's Medical Classic (30292/30000 Great Completion, Has it broken through?)"]

[Achievement Points: 6272]

Unexpectedly, medical skills have made a breakthrough.

Moreover, his cultivation level has also improved considerably.

Another point is that after imprisoning and killing the person who tried to assassinate him last time, his achievement points reached more than 6,000.

It should be noted that, apart from the two people at the Innate Realm, all the people imprisoned in the dungeon were personally killed by Lu Zheng.

He was really going all out for the achievement points.

However, it was all worth it.

With these achievement points, you can merge the techniques again.

"breakthrough."

Lu Zheng said calmly.

The next moment, various medical skills passed down in his mind appeared.

It became something etched in my memory.

Moreover, even the various alchemy techniques seem to have become muscle memory.

Controlling the heat, placing medicinal herbs at the right time, and various elixirs.

A series of things flashed through my mind.

As time goes by.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Zheng regained consciousness, looked at his hands, and felt extremely excited.

Now, anywhere he is, he would definitely be considered a top-tier miracle doctor.

The elixirs they produced were on a completely different level.

Because Lu Zheng is now confident that he can refine elixirs that increase lifespan.

Although it only adds one year, the temptation is absolutely enormous for those old monsters whose energy is depleted and whose lives are about to pass away.

However, Lu Zheng is not currently prepared to refine the elixir.

My own strength is still too weak.

Only after you have completely established yourself can you put it out there; otherwise, something terrible might happen.

Then, he took out a martial arts manual.

This is a new cultivation technique he recently collected. The ones he had left behind were inferior to this new one, so Lu Zheng chose to directly integrate this one.

This technique is called "Heavenly Palace Blade Technique," and it is also a low-grade fourth-rank martial art.

However, it shares a similar concept with the original "Dragon Elephant Body Forging Knife".

It means that while practicing swordsmanship, you can also strengthen your physical body.

It was found on those assassins from back then.

If they were to merge, it should be able to further enhance the power of Lu Zheng's current techniques.

Therefore, Lu Zheng took the manual with almost no hesitation.

He immediately said, "Merge."
