Chapter 15

After hearing the words of the old Master Lu, Lu Tianyu couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling relieved. It seemed that with the old Master Lu stepping in to protect them, he and his mother's lives would be safe.

Although the old Master Lu had always ignored the bullying they suffered in the Lu family, Lu Tianyu didn't have much affection for this grandfather. However, this time, he finally did something manly, which greatly reduced Lu Tianyu's resentment towards him.

"Kong'er, go and arrange for Yu'er and his mother to live in the front courtyard. Remember, you must strengthen the security and prevent any villains from taking advantage of the situation to harm Yu'er. If anything happens to Yu'er, I will hold you responsible. As for your third sister-in-law, I will explain to her later. I believe she won't refuse me this favor." After a moment of thought, Lu Bingwei immediately gave instructions to Lu Kong.

"Yes, Father!" Lu Kong nodded happily, as this was exactly what he wanted.

"Yu'er, take your mother and follow Uncle Four." Lu Kong smiled at Lu Tianyu.

"Alright, Uncle Four." Lu Tianyu nodded and quickly ran into the courtyard, helping his mother, Lu Yi, to follow Uncle Four, leaving under the furious gaze of Wang Cui'e.

After a brief cleanup in the back courtyard, Lu Tianyu and his mother moved into the new residence in the front courtyard, which was right next to Uncle Four's house, making it easier to provide support in case of any emergencies.

With the old Master Lu's personal intervention, the matter was left unresolved. Although Wang Cui'e was still filled with resentment, she had to give the old Master Lu a face and agreed not to pursue the matter further.

By nightfall, Lu Tianyu and his mother had settled into their new residence in the front courtyard. Lu Kong, known for his thoroughness, had already arranged for several maids and servants to be there, all of whom were trustworthy people from his own household.

Looking at the magnificent new courtyard, Lu Tianyu couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions. The world was truly unpredictable. Just a moment ago, they were on the brink of life and death, and now, their situation had completely changed. Not only did they move into a new courtyard, but there were also many strong guards secretly protecting them.

The reason for such treatment was clear to Lu Tianyu: it was because he had解除体内封印，恢复了五行灵根。

If he hadn't been tampered with by Wang Cui'e's people from a young age, perhaps all of this would have started happening to him from the age of eight, making him a key protected figure in the Lu family.

In the Divine Wasteland Continent, most families begin testing their children for spiritual roots at the age of eight. This is because by the age of eight, a child's bones have developed sufficiently, and testing at this time will not harm their foundation. Testing too early could cause unforeseen damage to their bones, which would be detrimental to their future cultivation.

Lu Tianyu had always been puzzled about why his father, Lu Xingfeng, knew he had good spiritual roots before the testing at the age of six. Perhaps his father had secretly used battle qi to test him.

But all of that was in the past. Now, he had finally started a new life that he deserved.

However, Lu Tianyu had a vague sense of unease. Although the old Master Lu had resolved the matter today, Wang Cui'e would not let it go easily.

If Wang Cui'e sought help from the Wang family and sent strong people to harm him again, would he be able to survive with his current strength?

Thinking of this, Lu Tianyu felt a strong desire to quickly improve his strength. Although there were many strong guards from the Lu family protecting him, he knew that the Wang family was one of the four major families, and any of their strong people would not be easily dealt with by ordinary guards.

Therefore, the only way to protect himself was to continuously improve his strength. Only by becoming strong could he fear nothing.

"Yu'er, what are you thinking about?" Just as Lu Tianyu was contemplating his future, a hoarse but authoritative voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Grandfather." Lu Tianyu immediately stopped his thoughts and turned to look at his grandfather, Lu Bingwei, with a complex expression.

"Yu'er, I'm sorry. Over the years, because of your father's affairs, I was disheartened and chose to seclude myself for cultivation, rarely involving myself in the family's affairs, which led to you and your mother suffering a lot of bullying. You don't blame me, do you?" Lu Bingwei, who was observant, immediately noticed the unusual expression on Lu Tianyu's face and said apologetically.

"I dare not, Grandfather!" Lu Tianyu shook his head.

"From this, I can see that you still blame me, but that's only natural. I don't blame you. However, I promise that as long as I am alive, I will not let anyone harm you, and I will try my best to make up for the neglect of the past years." Lu Bingwei said firmly.

"Thank you, Grandfather." Lu Tianyu immediately expressed his sincere gratitude. Grandfather was willing to risk offending the Wang family to protect him, and this kindness was enough to make up for the hardships he had endured in the past.

Moreover, the reason Grandfather ignored him in the past couldn't be entirely blamed on him. After all, at the age of eight, he was detected to have no spiritual roots and was unable to cultivate. Who would stand up for a useless person with no cultivation potential and oppose Wang Cui'e, who had a powerful background?

Grandfather's current actions, though seemingly opportunistic, were understandable. He wanted Lu Tianyu to become strong and lead the Lu family to become a renowned major family on the continent. Who doesn't have a bit of selfishness? If Lu Tianyu were in Grandfather's position, he might have made the same choice.

"By the way, Yu'er, when you were eight, you were detected to have no spiritual roots and couldn't cultivate. What happened to you now? Why did you suddenly recover your spiritual roots, and who taught you your cultivation techniques?" Lu Bingwei couldn't help but ask, his curiosity piqued.

"Well, Grandfather, to be honest, I don't know what happened. A while ago, when I was playing outside, I suddenly met an old man with white hair and a white beard. After seeing me, he randomly tapped me a few times and taught me a mysterious cultivation technique, then disappeared. Out of curiosity, I followed his instructions and practiced on my own, which led to my current cultivation level." Lu Tianyu dared not reveal the "Pangu Heavenly Book" and told a white lie.

"Oh? From this, it seems that the old man must be a great master. He could make you have the five-element spiritual roots with just a few taps. Yu'er, can you recite the cultivation technique he taught you for Grandfather to hear?" Lu Bingwei, not suspecting anything, immediately asked with a curious look.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry, but the senior repeatedly warned me not to reveal the cultivation technique he taught me to anyone. If I did, it would bring immediate danger, and even the Lu family could be in grave peril. Therefore, I cannot tell you, please understand." Lu Tianyu said with a difficult expression.

"Since that's the case, let it be. The senior must have taught you a powerful technique with significant implications, which should not be easily disclosed. I won't ask anymore. By the way, Yu'er, if you encounter any difficulties in your cultivation or need Grandfather's help, feel free to speak up. I will do my best to assist you." Lu Bingwei stopped pressing and said sincerely.

"Thank you, Grandfather. I do have a difficult matter now and need your help." Lu Tianyu's heart stirred. He had already thoroughly understood the first level of the "Pangu Heavenly Book" and was ready to unlock the second level. However, to unlock the seal and obtain the second level, he needed more high-grade five-element materials and treasures, which he had to seek help from Lu Bingwei for.

"Oh, tell me about it. Let's see if I can help you." Lu Bingwei nodded without hesitation.

"Grandfather, the cultivation technique I practice is quite unique and requires many high-grade five-element materials and treasures, or the inner cores of five-element beasts. Can you help me obtain these things?" Lu Tianyu said straightforwardly.

"Hehe, that's not a difficult matter. When I was young, I traveled far and wide and obtained many materials and treasures and inner cores of beasts. I originally planned to refine them into pills to enhance the cultivation of the younger generation of the Lu family. Since you need them, I will give them to you first. Wait a moment, I will go and get them for you." With that, Lu Bingwei immediately moved, leaving a trail of afterimages and disappearing.

"Senior Dao Gu once said that the cultivation technique of the 'Pangu Heavenly Book' is divided into nine levels, each deeper than the last.

The first level is the basic technique for laying the foundation.

The second level contains a high-level battle technique and several small methods for refining pills and artifacts.

As for the third, fourth... all the way to the ninth level, each contains a high-level battle technique, and the methods for refining pills and artifacts become increasingly powerful with each level.

I wonder what the high-level battle technique is? I'm really looking forward to it. Perhaps by practicing the high-level battle technique, my combat strength will be greatly enhanced." Lu Tianyu muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
