Asura Continent

The sun was setting, and the sky was ablaze with orange sunset. Darkness was about to envelop the world.

Lu Yang cultivated for a day and slowly dragged his tired body down the mountain. When he arrived at the flat ground in front of the thatched cottage, he saw a few unexpected figures.

Lu Yang was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Lu Tao to speak to him in such a tone. In the past, whenever they met, they would either speak words of ridicule or hit each other with punches and kicks. They had never given him any face before. However, Lu Yang still paid a lot of attention to brotherly feelings. Perhaps when he was young, he never felt any kinship other than motherly love, and it made him treasure brotherly feelings even more. He said nervously, "Big, big brother, why are you here?"

This was the first time Lu Yang called him big brother Lu Tao, and it felt a little awkward when he called him that.

Lu Tao smiled and said, "I'm not thinking of you, so I came to see you."

"Big brother, if you want to see little brother in the future, you're welcome at any time." Lu Yang was not good at talking, and did not know what to say at that moment.

In this aspect, Lu Yang was far inferior to Lu Tao. Lu Tao calmly waved his hand and said, "Ninth Brother, I heard that you and Father have practiced body boxing. How's your cultivation? Have you made any progress?"

Speaking of body boxing, Lu Yang was more or less excited. He hurriedly said, "My talent is a little bad, right now I'm training in the basics. I still need a long time to break through."

He didn't care what realm Lu Yang had cultivated to and said hypocritically, "On the path of cultivation, you talk about perception. You were smarter than us when you were young, and with your talent, it won't be long before you surpass us. However, it will be very difficult to break through no matter how much effort you put into cultivation. I have some things prepared here, and they will be very helpful to your cultivation after you consume them. "

As he said this, Lu Tao took out a black wooden box from his bosom. It was a small square box about the size of a palm. It was difficult to tell what material was used to make it. Lu Tao handed the box over to Lu Yang. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ninth Brother, don't you want to know what's inside the box?"

"No, I'll open it after I get back!" Lu Yang also knew that the box contained good things, but he had a habit of wanting to share anything with his mother. After all, he and his mother had been living a life of mutual dependence all these years, and his mother was his everything.

Lu Tao's eyes flashed with surprise. He obviously didn't expect Lu Yang to reply like this. He thought that Lu Yang would impatiently open the wooden box after he got it. After all, most people would be curious about what was stored inside. However, Lu Tao suddenly thought of what Sun Fei had said. Lu Yang's shrewdness was deep, he would not easily reveal his thoughts in front of others.

The moment this idea appeared, Lu Tao was even more sure that Sun Fei was right. If he didn't get rid of Lu Yang this time, he might not be able to find another opportunity in the future. The more Lu Tao thought about it, the more furious he became. He looked at Lu Yang and said, "Ninth Brother, we are all brothers. Don't you want to open it in front of Big Brother?"

Now that things had gotten to this point, it was impossible for Lu Yang to not open it. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Big Brother, how about this? We'll enter the room first. It's obvious that I'll open the wooden box again, how about it?"

"Enter the house?" Lu Tao really didn't want to go in. He only wanted to see Lu Yang consume the pill, because the fewer people who knew about it, the better. If something were to happen, and if this matter were to spread to his father's ears, it would be troublesome. Perhaps his father wouldn't punish him for his mother's reasons, but there was a possibility that he could cripple his position as the successor.

Lu Tao shook his head and said, "There's no need. Let's open it here!"

"This …" Lu Yang sighed inwardly and immediately opened the wooden box. When he saw the thumb-sized dark red pill inside the wooden box, he immediately knew what it was.

Ever since he was young, Lu Yang had read many books on poetry and understood the situation of medicinal pellets. Regardless of what kind of medicinal pellet he consumed, it would at least increase his lifespan by a few years and strengthen his body. Even in his dreams, Lu Yang would have wanted to obtain such a pill. He wanted to give it to his mother, not for himself. He was a filial child who wanted to improve his mother's health.

Looking at the pill, a look of pleasant surprise flashed across Lu Yang's face. He quickly asked, "Big brother, is this the legendary pill?"

Lu Tao nodded his head and said, "That's right, this is a pill, not the legendary pill. This pill was called Bone Refining Pill. It could be refined using 100 year old ginseng and over 100 kinds of precious herbs for 74 days. After consuming it, not only would it strengthen one's physique, it would also extend one's lifespan. Especially for people like us who cultivate body techniques, it can be said to be a rare and good thing. "

"It is indeed a good item." Lu Yang closed the wooden box and held it tightly, like a child who was afraid of losing his beloved toy.

Sun Fei, who had been silent all this time behind Lu Tao, noticed the change and quickly said, "Ninth Young Master, you must consume this pill as soon as possible, you see …"

Lu Tao's eyebrows twitched and a sullen expression flashed across his face. It was clear that he didn't like the fact that Zhang Xuan didn't give the order for his subordinates to speak.

However, after Lu Tao heard the meaning behind his words, he immediately knew what Sun Fei was trying to do and hurriedly said, "That's right! "Ninth brother, I think you should hurry up and consume it!"

Lu Yang really didn't want to consume it. He was silent for a while and tactfully refused, "I haven't cultivated for long. It won't be too late to consume it when I break through the bottleneck in the future."

"How can this work!?" The earlier you consume the medicinal pellet, the better the effect would be. If you consume it in the future, once the medicinal strength drains, wouldn't it be a waste of the medicinal pellet? " Lu Tao continued to persuade her, "If you are worried that you won't get the Bone Refining Pill in the future, then this is not a problem. I still have a lot of pills. You can come to my place to get them in the future, and I can get Sun Fei to send them over. "

As the saying goes, if something abnormal happens, there must be a demon.

Lu Yang was a naive and kind-hearted kid. He didn't have any foresight, but he felt that something was off about Lu Tao today. Lu Tao was really too nice to him, as if there was a problem somewhere. But in the end, what went wrong? For a while, Lu Yang couldn't think of anything. He could only assume that his father's change in attitude towards him caused Lu Tao to treat him as his own brother.

Thinking up to here, Lu Yang didn't have any more worries and nodded: "Okay! "I'll consume the pill now."

Lu Yang opened the box, removed the pill, and prepared to consume it.

The gazes of Lu Tao and the rest had been fixed on Lu Yang. They were waiting for Lu Tao to consume it before they quickly left.

However, just as Lu Yang consumed the elixir, the nearby wooden door suddenly opened. A middle-aged woman with a similarly frail body walked out. This woman was Su Rui. Seeing that Lu Yang was about to consume something and was standing in front of Lu Tao and the rest, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly shouted, "Lu Yang, what are you doing … …"

Hearing his mother's shout, Lu Yang put down his right hand, turned around and asked, "Mother, why did you come out?"

"I saw that you came back at this time every day. You didn't come in today, so you wanted to come out and take a look." Su Rui was, after all, an adult. She could tell at a glance that Lu Tao and the others were not in a good mood due to their sudden appearance. As for the pill in Lu Yang's hand, it was the problem. She had to figure out what was going on.

After a few steps, Su Rui arrived in front of everyone. He took a glance at Lu Tao and said in an indifferent tone, "So it's the Eldest Young Master. Come in and have a seat!"

Su Rui's words were impolite. If it was before, Lu Yang would definitely be furious on the spot, but now he had no choice but to endure it.

"Aunt, I'm here to see Ninth Brother, from now on you don't have to call me Eldest Young Master, just call me by my name." Even though Lu Tao said this, his heart was cold, "Old thing, when Lu Yang dies, I want to see if you still have any status in the Lu Manor. When the time comes, I will get someone to chase you out of the Lu Manor and let you fend for yourself. "

Su Rui waved his hand and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "That won't do, the Lu mansion is a big family, and they still have to follow the rules. How can I be disrespectful? Furthermore, I am different from your mother. Your mother is the wife of the old master, and I can't even be considered as a concubine. She paused for a moment and continued, "Eldest Young Master came to a place like this, it would be disrespectful. If there's nothing else, you should leave this place as soon as possible!"

Su Rui turned around and said to Lu Yang, "Come in, I have something to say to you."

Lu Yang was an obedient child. He looked apologetically at Lu Tao, put the Bone Refining Pill into the wooden box, and said, "Big Brother, I'll be going back first. If you need anything, you can come find me here."

Su Rui and Lu Yang quickly left. In the blink of an eye, they arrived in front of the grass hut and were about to enter the room.

Sun Fei panicked. He knew this was his only chance, so he quickly reminded him in a low voice, "Eldest Young Master, quickly follow him in or it'll be too late."

"Should I follow him in?" Lu Tao pointed at himself and said unhappily, "You want me, a dignified young master of the Lu family, to go into a thatched hut that only animals can live in?"

Sun Fei fearlessly stared at Lu Tao. He spoke word by word, "Eldest Young Master, think about what I said before. If that trash becomes the Patriarch, what will happen to you?"

Hearing this, Lu Tao immediately calmed down. He gritted his teeth and shouted directly in front of him, "Aunt, I also have some things I want to say to Ninth Brother. Can you let me in for a chat?" As he spoke, he quickly walked forward without waiting for Su Rui's reply. They were already body technique experts and had already reached the late stage of the Yellow Rank. Their speed was astonishingly fast. In a few breaths' time, they had arrived at the room's door.

In this situation, Su Rui could not refuse. Even if she refused, she believed that Lu Tao would still come in. She could only nod: "If Eldest Young Master doesn't mind, then come in."
