"I am not reconciled!"
In a short breath, Great Elder Lu Shaohui turned into a pile of yellow sand.
Everyone was stunned.
A majestic Cultivator at Core Formation Perfected was instantly annihilated by some unknown means.
"Patriarch, we were wrong. Please spare us this once!" The Elders who had followed Great Elder Lu Shaohui immediately knelt down, even kowtowing.
They had not expected Great Elder Lu Shaohui to die so inexplicably.
Lu Yu was actually confident he could kill Great Elder Lu Shaohui if he acted personally.
But that would be too inefficient.
By simply using an Elementary Instant Kill Talisman, Great Elder Lu Shaohui was annihilated in just one second.
How fast was that efficiency!!!
"The choice you made just now was undoubtedly a betrayal of the entire Lu Clan. Considering your many years of dedication to the Clan, I can spare your lives, but you must cripple your cultivation!" Lu Chen's voice was filled with an icy chill.
At this moment.
The Elders' faces were pale.
They clearly understood the choice before them.
Either death, or self-crippling their cultivation.
This was all their own choice!
Naturally, they had to bear the consequences of their choice.
"We obey!" These Elders naturally did not want to die, and one by one, they crippled their own cultivation.
After their cultivation was crippled, they all looked much older, completely lacking their initial powerful aura.
"Take them away!" Lu Chen commanded.
Soon, people led these Elders, who had crippled their cultivation, away from this place; someone would arrange for them!
"Congratulations, Patriarch, Second Young Master is truly a Heavenly Pride!" Following that, the others all cupped their hands towards Lu Chen, offering congratulations.
No one could have guessed at the beginning that today's outcome would be like this!
"Everyone, do not spread word of today's events!" Lu Chen instructed, ":After this, we must strengthen the management within the Clan!"
In the short time that followed.
Lu Chen directly arranged the Clan affairs.
The Elders who had firmly followed Lu Chen earlier were given important responsibilities.
......
Inside the courtyard.
Lu Chen brought Lu Yu here alone.
"Yuer, Great Elder Lu Shaohui's death was extremely strange. This should be your doing, right?" Lu Chen asked softly.
"Yes!" Lu Yu did not hide it, slowly nodding.
"What exactly happened here? Your cultivation seems to have also reached the Core Formation Realm?" Lu Chen looked at Lu Yu very seriously. He knew his own son well.
Before.
He had checked many times.
His cultivation Realm had always been Refining Qi Realm - Third Level.
It seemed that ever since Mu Qingxue arrived, and he obtained a large amount of Cultivation resources, his son had become different, and his cultivation Realm was also rapidly improving.
Could it be.
Was it due to the Cultivation resources Mu Qingxue brought???
No.
Although the Cultivation resources Mu Qingxue brought were valuable, they absolutely could not allow someone at Refining Qi Realm - Third Level to advance to the Core Formation Realm!
There were too many unknowns here.
"Father, actually, I have already taken a powerful individual as my Master. The method used to annihilate Great Elder Lu Shaohui just now was also taught to me by my Master!" Lu Yu said earnestly, naturally lying. He was a Transmigrator, and the matter of owning a System absolutely could not be revealed!
It could not be known by anyone.
"I know you have too many questions, Father, but Master has given orders not to tell anyone, so please forgive me!"
When Lu Chen heard this, he was also incredibly shocked.
He hadn't expected.
His son to have such a fortunate encounter.
He could also deduce that the mysterious powerful individual his son spoke of must be an extremely top-tier existence!
"Since that is the case, then I, your father, will not ask further!" Lu Chen patted Lu Yu's shoulder and said earnestly, ":You must Cultivate well with your Master!"
"Father, I actually do have something I need your help with!" Lu Yu smiled slightly.
"What is it?" Lu Chen asked.
"I just want some Spirit Stones!" Lu Yu said softly.
"How many do you need?" Lu Chen asked again. As the Lu Clan's Patriarch, he naturally had Spirit Stones.
"Naturally, the more the better." Lu Yu nodded seriously.
Seeing this.
Lu Chen directly took out a Storage Bag.
"There are five hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones inside, take them!" Lu Chen said.
"Thank you, Father!" Lu Yu thanked him. Although five hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones might only be enough to recharge about 6000 points.
But in the current situation.
Having them was better than not having them!
"Yuer, these Spirit Stones are all that your father can provide!" Lu Chen slowly said, ":Recently, the Lu Clan has also encountered difficulties. All your father can help you with right now is this much!"
"Father, what difficulties has the Lu Clan encountered?" Lu Yu asked, seeing the situation.
Perhaps he could solve it!
"The Li Clan found an Alchemist from who knows where, and the Medicinal Pills they refined are more effective and cheaper, causing the business of several of our Lu Clan's Medicinal Pill shops to become increasingly dismal..." Lu Chen sighed.
These past few days, he had been dealing with this matter.
Unfortunately, he still hadn't found a good solution.
Furthermore.
He didn't have any good connections to find a better Alchemist to refine Medicinal Pills for the Lu Clan.
"I see. Don't worry, Father, I have a solution!" Lu Yu nodded, speaking very confidently.
"What solution?" Lu Chen's eyes lit up.
"You'll know when the time comes. I need to go out first!" Lu Yu smiled, then immediately rushed out.
Watching Lu Yu's back disappear.
Lu Chen slowly nodded.
He walked into the room.
On the wall of the room, there was a painting hanging.
The woman in the painting was very beautiful.
"Yanran, Lu Yu has grown up, and he has even taken a powerful individual as his Master. His cultivation is now almost surpassing mine, his father's... You can rest assured in the afterlife..." Lu Chen slowly spoke, his tone filled with immense nostalgia!
It didn't take long.
A figure appeared directly outside the room.
"Patriarch, something's wrong! Master Wang has left!" An anxious voice was heard.
Lu Chen quickly walked out of the room.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he asked, ":Where did he go?"
"He was poached by the Wang Clan!" The young man replied.
At this moment.
Lu Chen's expression was extremely grave.
The Master Wang they spoke of was an Alchemist they had hired before.
They had been working together for almost ten years.
Master Wang's treatment in their Lu Clan could be said to be extremely high.
They had agreed to all his requests.
He hadn't expected.
The other party to actually violate the contract!
"This Wang Clan truly leaves no way out for others!" Lu Chen was even more solemn!
In the entire Qingshan City, there were only a few Alchemists.
He had long sent people to other places to search for suitable Alchemists, but there had been no news until now.
As for some powerful Alchemists, their Lu Clan simply did not have the conditions or qualifications to invite them.
For a time, it made him, as the Patriarch, feel quite distressed.
He didn't even know what to do next.
Now, the entire Lu Clan was in a crisis.
If this matter was not resolved well, it would certainly have a huge impact on the entire Lu Clan.
