This vision lasted for a full hour before Lu Fan slowly woke up.

The body was slightly stiff, and when it moved slightly, it made a crisp sound.

Getting up, Lu Fan flicked the wind and snow off his body. He felt that his body seemed to be a little different from before, but he couldn't tell what was different.

Walking back to the front door of the Lu family, Lu Fan saw Lu Ming and Zhang Yuehan walking around the front yard of the Lu family as soon as they entered the door, with a group of Lu family children surrounding them.

Lu Fan knew some of these people, and had met some several times, but none of them had a good impression.

Hearing someone coming in from behind, Lu Ming also turned around.

Seeing it was Lu Fan, Lu Ming raised a sarcastic smile again.

Pulling Zhang Yuehan forward slowly, Lu Ming said to Lu Fan: "Come on, good-for-nothing cousin, let me introduce you. This is Miss Zhang Yuehan, please say hello."

Zhang Yuehan had lowered her head. She seemed a little shy, but in fact she didn't dare to look into Lu Fan's eyes.

Lu Ming suddenly raised his eyebrows and stared at Lu Fan with cold eyes. In his opinion, a loser who dared to show off in front of him was definitely looking for a beating.

A slightly fat young man next to him stepped forward to stop Lu Fan for Lu Ming.

"Cousin Lu Fan, it would be too rude of you to leave without saying a word. Don't lose the Lu family. You won't be such a waste that you become mute."

Lu Fan raised his head and looked at him. This person could be considered his cousin, but from a collateral lineage. His name was Lu Tiangang, and he was Lu Ming's best friend.

Lu Fan said slowly: "It's none of your business, don't get in the way."

Lu Tiangang became angry immediately and pushed Lu Fan hard with his big hand.

Lu Fan knew about Lu Tiangang's strength. The fifth level of body refining was much stronger than him.Logically speaking, with Lu Tiangang's strength, it would be no problem to push him down.

But this time, Lu Fan didn't take a step back. He just shook his body and then stopped.

Looking up at Lu Tiangang, Lu Fan said, "Do you want to fight?"

With one word, Lu Tiangang immediately lowered his raised hand.His eyes widened with anger, but Lu Tiangang still didn't dare to reach out and hit Lu Fan.

The Lu family's family rules are still very strict, and the most stringent one is that you are not allowed to bully your juniors.It just so happened that Lu Fan was one year younger than Lu Tiangang, under eighteen.If Lu Tiangang really dares to hit Lu Fan, what awaits Lu Tiangang will be at least a hundred days of confinement.For a young man, being locked up in a dark room and not allowed to go out for a hundred days was a serious punishment.

Lu Tiangang gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Fan, just wait. I won't beat you now, but you won't be able to run away during the New Year Festival. Then, I will beat you until your teeth are all over the floor."

Lu Fan looked at him coldly and left without even bothering to say anything.

Lu Tiangang was very angry and wanted to stop Lu Fan, but Lu Ming stopped Lu Tiangang and said, "Forget it, why bother with a loser."

Lu Ming's voice was deliberately loud so that Lu Fan could hear it.

He patted Lu Tiangang on the shoulder and said, "Waiting for the New Year Festival, you can beat him up."

Lu Tiangang grinned and said: "Don't worry, I will definitely beat him until he can't take care of himself and turn him into a useless person who can't even get out of bed from now on."

Zhang Yuehan, who was standing aside, actually started laughing too.

Lu Fan walked back to his yard. As a direct descendant of the Lu family, he had a small yard full of weeds.

In fact, compared to Lu Ming and others, Lu Fan's yard is already very shabby, but Lu Fan doesn't care.

There is a stone in the yard that is as tall as one person. This is Lu Fan's practice stone.

Walking to the stone, Lu Fan took a deep breath and punched the stone hard.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound, a fist mark appeared on the practice stone, and tiny cracks appeared. Lu Fan was stunned on the spot.

With his strength at the third level of body refining, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such an effect with one punch. This is a power that can only be possessed by the fourth level of body refining and above.

Lu Fan looked at his fist in disbelief.He has been stuck at the third level of body refining for many years, and he finally improved today?

Although there is only one level difference between the third level of body refining and the fourth level of body refining, the difference is still very big.

Because in the body refining realm, the first to third levels are called inferior.Levels four to six are called medium.Level seven to level nine is considered advanced.

There is absolutely no problem for a person in the medium body refining realm to complete three low body refining realms.

With surprise and suspicion, Lu Fan punched the training stone again.Feeling the power pouring out from his fist and smashing the training stone in front of him to create a fist seal again, Lu Fan was finally sure that his strength had indeed reached the fourth level of body refining.

The excited Lu Fan waved his fist. As long as he made progress, it meant that he still had hope in martial arts.

But why did he suddenly improve? Lu Fan remembered that when he was practicing the first three levels, he had to experience heartbreaking pain every time he improved, as if his muscles were torn.

Suddenly, Lu Fan thought of Lao Wu's wine, it couldn't be......

While Lu Fan was thinking, footsteps came closer and closer, and a burly middle-aged man walked in. This man, who was only forty years old, already had gray hair and looked slightly haggard.

Seeing this person, Lu Fan immediately put away his expression and said respectfully: "Father."

Lu Hao tried his best to speak in a calm tone.Lu Fan's expression changed slightly. He had probably guessed what his father was going to say to him.

Gritting his teeth, Lu Fan said, "Just tell me, father."

With sadness in Lu Hao's eyes, he said slowly: "Lu Fan. The family has held a meeting. After this New Year's Festival, all those with insufficient cultivation will be released to small towns to take care of family business."

"Father, you don't have to blame yourself. It's your son who failed to live up to expectations and let you down."

Lu Hao waved his hand and said: "No, Lu Fan. It's none of your business. It's because your father failed to fulfill his responsibilities. You have been in poor health since you were a child, with weak energy and blood, and were plagued by diseases. You should not have been allowed to practice martial arts. It was me who insisted on letting you practice martial arts, but I didn't expect to turn you into the laughing stock of the family. The fault is all mine. I see all your efforts, and you are not wrong."

Lu Fan felt his eyes were slightly moist and clenched his fists.

Lu Hao continued: "Lu Fan, I want to hear your choice now. If you choose to leave the family, I will ensure that you go to the best town and take charge of the family's key business. You will be rich and stable for a lifetime, and there will be no problem."

"Well, he is indeed my son. He is not discouraged by defeat and is as strong as a rock. Lu Fan, I will do my best to help you."

With that said, Lu Hao took out a small blue and white porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Lu Fan and said, "Take it, this is the Li Gathering Pill. If you take it tonight, it will at least help you gain some strength first."

Lu Fan was stunned on the spot. His father actually gave him a bottle of elixir.

Lu Fan knew how precious pills were and how rare they were.This is something that only the extremely rare Qi Refiners in the Gangwu Continent can refine.

The so-called Qi Refiner is a noble profession.They have the power of a warrior, and they have more methods and stronger abilities than a warrior.The most outstanding thing is that they can use medicinal materials to refine various elixirs, each with different effects.It's much better than ordinary medicinal materials.

If it weren't for the small number of Qi Refiners and the high threshold, I'm afraid this continent wouldn't be called Gangwu Continent.

Lu Fan carefully finished the blue and white porcelain vase and was extremely moved.

The market price of even the lowest elixir is definitely higher than that of a few well-located shops, and there is still no market price.In an ordinary city like Jiang Lincheng, it is said that only one or two are sold at auction every year.

Lu Fan didn't know what price his father paid to get this pill, but looking at his father's white hair, Lu Fan knew that he was worried about him.

Lu Fan solemnly said: "Father, I will not let you down."

Lu Fan looked at his father's leaving figure and squeezed the medicine bottle in his hand tightly.
