C31 I will Give You the Medicine!

No one could resist the allure of joining the Celestial Gate.

"Don't worry, the young Marquis is still youthful. There's plenty of time to consider it later."

Doctor Dong, with his apprentices in tow, rose and departed from the clinic.

He assumed Lu Yu was simply brash with youth and would come to realize the significance of the Celestial Gate as he matured.

Little did he know, Lu Yu had no need for such an affiliation.

Tucked in the storage bag at Lu Yu's hip was the immense Big Dipper Sect—entirely his own!

"Doctor Dong, we appreciate your efforts," Madame Yurou murmured graciously.

Although Doctor Dong's assistance had been minimal, Madame Yurou had Zhong Bo present him with a sum of silver.

Once the party had dispersed, tranquility once again enveloped the courtyard.

Yet, all eyes were irresistibly drawn to Lu Yu.

In just one day, he had slain an imperial eunuch, extricated Lu Lengshuang from King Wei's domain, and crafted an exceptional medicine.

A series of astonishing feats that left onlookers in awe!

"Mother, this medicine is for you. Take it when you get home; it's good for your health," Lu Yu offered, handing Madame Yurou a porcelain bottle.

Since Madame Yurou did not practice martial arts, Lu Yu had specifically prepared Longevity Pills and Qi Replenishing Pills to enhance her constitution and extend her life.

Accepting the bottle, Madame Yurou's smile was suffused with pride. "Yu'er, you've truly opened my eyes."

"Zhong Bo, summon the head guards, please," Lu Yu instructed.

Despite his confusion, Zhong Bo complied, gathering the chief guards from the back courtyard.

The Marquis Yongping Mansion boasted five hundred guards, with a chief appointed for every hundred to secure the estate.

These guards, seasoned soldiers loyal to Lu Yu's father, Lu Kaishan, were not only valiant and skilled in combat but also steadfastly devoted.

Lu Yu presented the Heaven Origin Gold Cores from the box, giving three to each chief guard. "These pills can enhance your cultivation. Take one for yourself, and distribute the other two through a selection process among the guards, rewarding the most formidable among them."

The captain of the guards witnessed the miraculous effects of Lu Yu's Heaven Origin Gold Core and quickly knelt, pledging their unwavering loyalty to the Lu Family.

Subsequently, Lu Yu shared some of the surplus medicines he had crafted. Even Housekeeper Zhong Bo, along with various maids and servants, received some of these medicines.

While these medicines may not be as potent as the Heaven Origin Gold Pill, they were still invaluable treasures to the common folk.

Having attended to these matters, Lu Yu turned to Lu Lengshuang and advised, "Sister, your cultivation level hasn't fully stabilized yet. It's best if you stay indoors for the next few days to consolidate your realm."

"Alright, I'll do as you say, Little Yu," Lu Lengshuang replied, her lips curling into a smile, her gaze upon her brother brimming with pride and affection.

In a twist of fate, she had turned misfortune into a blessing, achieving a breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm in one fell swoop!

Previously at the seventh level of the Houtian Realm, Lu Lengshuang had anticipated a grueling decade of effort to reach the Xiantian Realm. Yet, to her astonishment, the wondrous golden core had propelled her to that very realm overnight!

The entire household buzzed with excitement, and it wasn't until late into the night that the Marquis Yongping Mansion finally settled down for rest.

With his formidable soul, Lu Yu did not retire to bed but instead chose to meditate in a seated position throughout the night.

As dawn broke the next day, Lu Yu opened his eyes, channeling streams of true qi into his Dantian.

He had consumed the remaining Heaven Origin Gold Pills, advancing only to the eighth level of the Houtian Realm.

"Young master, are you awake?" came Zhong Bo's voice from outside the door.

Lu Yu rose to his feet and opened the door to find Zhong Bo standing there, awaiting him.

"What's the matter?" inquired Lu Yu.

In a hushed tone, Zhong Bo informed him, "Young master, a general from the Palace has come seeking you!"
