Ren Susu asked, "Junior Brother, how has your research on the Cultivation Technique been progressing?"
"I have already modified the drawbacks in the 'Martial Arts To.' Now, cultivating should present no obstacles," Ding Fan replied.
"Ancestor, I think this is inappropriate!" Just then, Lu Zhanyun, who was at the side, stood up directly.
The Lu Family Disciples at the scene all turned their gaze towards Lu Zhanyun.
Lu Zhanyun stepped forward with his head held high. "Ancestor, our Lu Family was established based on the 'Martial Arts To,' and the Cultivation Technique is not sothing that can be modified casually... Moreover, employing soone barely in his twenties to modify it... Ancestor, this matter concerns the life and death of the Lu Family in Dejiang. I must stand up and speak!"
"How dare you, is your attitude now questioning ?" Ren Susu's face looked sowhat displeased.
"How dare I question the ancestor? But since the 'Martial Arts To' concerns the safety of our Lu Family, I have to speak out of necessity for the Lu Family," Lu Zhanyun declared loudly.
Ren Susu's expression turned sour.
At that mont, Ding Fan said, "Senior Sister, calm your anger. The 'Martial Arts To' indeed matters significantly and must be approached with care. Let us stick to our previous agreent, and have Lu Zhanfei test the newly modified Cultivation Technique."
Lu Zhanfei was known as the foremost expert beneath the old ancestors of the Lu Family.
However, Lu Zhanfei, nearing sixty, had recently been looking increasingly unwell. Having been attacked by the saber-toothed wolf, he had been bedridden for so ti.
"Verifying a Cultivation Technique requires years, how can the effects be seen in a short ti? Do we have to wait here with you for decades?" Lu Zhanyun said.
"Show so respect!" Lu Zhanming stood up at this mont.
Seeing Lu Zhanming stand up, Lu Zhanyun pursed his lips. After all, Lu Zhanming was the head of the Lu Family, and as one of the Lu Family Disciples, he still had to heed his words.
"Testing a new Cultivation Technique indeed requires decades, but testing the one I modified only needs an hour," Ding Fan said confidently.
Test a Cultivation Technique in just an hour?
Upon hearing this, the Lu Family Disciples started to whisper among themselves.
Verifying a Cultivation Technique always required years, how could one ascertain the efficacy of a Cultivation Technique within an hour?
"Uncle Master isn't bragging, right? Can a Cultivation Technique really be verified in just an hour?"
"In one hour, we probably won't even understand what the new Cultivation Technique is," the disciples muttered among themselves.
"Oh? Not knowing how to verify the new Cultivation Technique, what then is the basis for the verification?" Lu Zhanyun spoke up from the side.
At this mont, Ren Susu ignored Lu Zhanyun. She too wanted to know how Ding Fan planned to verify it.
"To verify whether a Cultivation Technique has any issues is simple," Ding Fan started, glancing around before continuing.
"Please bring Lu Zhanfei and let him cultivate according to my technique. Before he starts cultivating, have soone check his ridians and dantian. An hour after he begins his cultivation, we'll just examine his dantian and ridians," he explained.
"Cultivating directly without dissipating cultivation?" Lu Zhanyun asked doubtfully from the side.
Normally, if one were to switch to a different sect's Cultivation Technique, it would require dissipating one's cultivation.
'Dissipating cultivation' ans relinquishing all acquired cultivation levels since the thod and formation of Inner Strength are different for each technique. Therefore, most of the ti, adopting a different Cultivation Technique would necessitate dissipating one's current cultivation.
However, Ding Fan suggested that Lu Zhanfei proceed with his cultivation without dissipating it, which greatly puzzled Lu Zhanyun.
"There's no need," Ding Fan slightly shook his head. "The technique I've modified doesn't affect one's existing cultivation. It allows everyone to retain their current levels of cultivation."
What?!
Everyone present found it hard to believe that it was possible to retain their current levels of cultivation.
A hint of excitent flashed in Ren Susu's eyes.
The 'Martial Arts Technique' was sothing Ren Susu had stolen. Over the years, it had indeed brought great prestige to the Lu Family, but over these hundred years, n in the Lu Family rarely survived past sixty.
After receiving a letter from the Hermit of the Horizon brought by Ding Fan, Ren Susu learned that the 'Martial Arts Technique' was only fit for won. If n practiced it, it would only shorten their lives.
These past couple of days, Ren Susu had been feeling very conflicted. Naturally, she understood that if the people of the Lu Family all discarded their cultivation to adopt a new technique, then the Lu Family would truly decline rapidly. But if they didn't give up the technique, then the n of the Ding Family would all die before reaching sixty.
Ren Susu was already facing a difficult choice, and at this ti, Ding Fan said that the modified technique allowed them to retain their existing cultivation levels.
"Junior Brother, are you serious?" Ren Susu's eyes widened as she looked at Ding Fan.
Ding Fan nodded his head, and although he didn't speak, he nevertheless answered Ren Susu.
"Good, quickly go and fetch Lu Zhanfei," Ren Susu said, sowhat impatiently. Considering the 'Martial Arts Technique' was crucial for the prosperity of the Lu Family, how could Ren Susu not care?
At that ti, the disciples of the Lu Family had already hurried off.
On the side, Lu Zhanyun was just holding his arms, watching coldly.
As far as Lu Zhanyun was concerned, Ding Fan was simply boasting!
Altering a Cultivation Technique was already a very heaven-defying act, and now Ding Fan even claid he could retain his cultivation. If the thod of cultivation isn't the sa, how could the Inner Strength refined be the sa?
The look on Ding Fan's face was exactly that of a scam artist. Lu Zhanyun didn't say a word now; he was just waiting for an hour to pass after the verification of Ding Fan's Cultivation Technique, eager to denounce him thoroughly. Lu Zhanyun wanted the old ancestors and Lu Zhanming to recognize the true face of this liar, Ding Fan…
Before long, Lu Zhanfei had been carried up on a stretcher by two disciples.
A week ago, Lu Zhanfei was still lively and vigorous, but at this ti he lay on the stretcher, his face pale and his lips purplish. He was in a deep stupor...
Ding Fan then crouched down, gently pressing his right hand on the large acupoint in front of Lu Zhanfei's chest, then infused a stream of True Qi into him.
Following that, the previously stuporous Lu Zhanfei furrowed his brows slightly a few tis and then slowly opened his eyes.
"He actually… actually woke up…"
The Lu Family disciples present were taken aback upon seeing the always stuporous Lu Zhanfei waking up.
Over these two days, the Lu Family had summoned quite a number of doctors and experts.
After examining Lu Zhanfei's condition, all of them were at a loss. They not only had no ans to treat Lu Zhanfei's illness but were also outright incapable of making Lu Zhanfei wake up from his deep stupor.
Yet Ding Fan, rely by squatting in front of him, managed to make Lu Zhanfei co around. Not to ntion anything else, just this point alone was enough to astonish the Lu Family disciples present.
"I... I... feel awful..." Perhaps because he had slept for too long, his eyes seed rather lifeless at that mont.
"Now I will impart to you a set of Cultivation Technique; listen carefully..." Ding Fan whispered into Lu Zhanfei's ear.
Lu Zhanfei looked at Ding Fan sowhat puzzledly. Having been knocked unconscious by a saber-toothed wolf that day and rescued by Ding Fan, he did not know about it, and thus did not recognize Ding Fan either.
"Zhanfei, do as he says!" Just then, the words of the old ancestor rang out beside them.
Hearing the old ancestor's words, Lu Zhanfei no longer hesitated and paid close attention to Ding Fan's words.
Ding Fan spoke very slowly. To accommodate Lu Zhanfei, Ding Fan pronounced each word very distinctly.
After hearing the Cultivation Technique imparted by Ding Fan, Lu Zhanfei seed to have an epiphany and imdiately closed his eyes, and in no ti, he had entered ditation.
The old ancestor's ntal Power remained focused on Lu Zhanfei.
The verification of the new Cultivation Technique related to the rise and fall of a family head. The old ancestor wasn't taking it lightly.
Lu Zhanfei's body was at that ti showing signs of obstructed channels and organ failure. After Ren Susu examined Lu Zhanfei's injuries, she couldn't help but glance at Ding Fan to her side.
Lu Zhanfei's current condition was very poor, and she was sowhat worried about the effectiveness of the Cultivation Technique researched by Ding Fan.
Ti slowly passed, and Lu Zhanfei kept his eyes closed. All the Lu Family disciples present watched with bated breath as Lu Zhanfei ditated.
Almost an hour later, Lu Zhanfei finally slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing Lu Zhanfei finally open his eyes, everyone's gaze shifted to him.
The current Lu Zhanfei and the previously dying Lu Zhanfei seed like two different people.
The current Lu Zhanfei appeared much better spirited than before, and his eyes were no longer as dull as before. He looked almost no different from a normal person.
A man near death, just one hour ago had practiced the Cultivation Technique and now seed as if he had recovered. The eyes of the Lu Family disciples shone with excitent.
"It actually… actually… actually worked." Ren Susu couldn't hide the excitent in her heart.
Old ancestor Ren Susu's Divine Sense explored and, to her astonishnt, she discovered that Lu Zhanfei's internal organs, which had all been damaged, showed signs of improvent.
For many years in the Lu Family, the males had continuously died from organ failure, but in all these years, no one had shown signs of recovery like Lu Zhanfei where his internal organs had actually begun to heal…
At this mont, Ren Susu was astonished, and beside her, Lu Zhanming was even more shocked.
A Doctor had previously assessed Lu Zhanfei's condition and said he wouldn't last a month.
This Doctor was quite famous in Huaxia Country, having even treated the second highest leader of Huaxia Country, which showed the Doctor's reputation and dical skills.
However, after rely imparting a set of Cultivation Technique to Lu Zhanfei, he had regained his spirit. Probably even that well-known Doctor would be gaping in shock were he here now.
"Circulate the Inner Strength, rush through the Mysterious Pass, and bypass the Yang Pass..." Ding Fan was instructing Lu Zhanfei at the side.
Lu Zhanfei, without any hesitation, did as Ding Fan instructed, sat cross-legged, and began to channel his Inner Strength through the Mysterious Pass and around the Yang Pass...
