Are They All Immortal Cultivators?

Are They All Immortal Cultivators?

On the second day, Lu Jiuyuan fulfilled his promise. He gathered over a hundred household servants together, all of whom had learned the day before that the family they had joined was actually a Mahayana family.

One had to know, that was a Mahayana family—an existence even more terrifying than the Yuanwu Kingdom.

"This Young Master promised before that I would make all of you immortal cultivators. Today is the day I fulfill that promise."

Lu Jiuyuan stood before them and spoke calmly. The household servants below immediately grew excited. Becoming immortal cultivators meant they would no longer be mortals in the future.

Seeing the excitement on their faces, Lu Jiuyuan was deeply satisfied. Only then would they work even harder for the Lu Family, though in truth, it was of little use to the Lu Family.

In the distance, Lu Xuan and Lu Changsheng watched the scene without changing expression. Since Lu Jiuyuan wanted to play around, they would let him. They did not care about such a small amount of resources.

Lu Jiuyuan clapped his hands. In the next moment, two household servants carried over two stones: the Talent Testing Stone and the Physique Testing Stone.

"These two stones are used to test cultivation talent and special physiques respectively. All of you, line up now and come forward one by one for testing."

As Lu Jiuyuan's words fell, the household servants present quickly scrambled to form a line, ready to begin the talent testing.

The first servant to be tested was clearly somewhat nervous, afraid that he would possess no talent at all. Only after receiving Lu Jiuyuan's encouragement did he press his hand onto the testing stone.

The testing stone trembled, and soon the words "Yellow Grade Mid-Rank" appeared. Only then did he let out a breath of relief. Though somewhat disappointed, he could at least step onto the Path to Immortality.

As more and more people were tested, Lu Jiuyuan discovered that nearly all the household servants possessed cultivation talent. One had to know, not everyone could cultivate. Lu Jiuyuan had originally prepared himself for the possibility that very few would be able to do so.

But after thinking it over, his own fortune defied the heavens. Since they had been able to join the Lu Family, their fortune naturally could not be too poor. It was perfectly normal for them to have some cultivation talent.

Just then, the Talent Testing Stone began to shake. Soon, a dazzling light erupted from it.

"This is... Immortal Grade talent!"

The moment he saw an Immortal Grade talent emerge, Lu Xuan could no longer remain calm. Even he possessed only peak Profound Grade talent, while Immortal Grade talents were the kind that major top-tier forces would take under their wing.

Lu Changsheng, however, was not surprised in the slightest. He immediately acted to conceal what was happening here; otherwise, it would not be long before people came knocking at their door.

Fortunately, Lu Changsheng acted in time, and the disturbance did not spread.

The young girl who had tested with Immortal Grade talent stood frozen in place, her mind buzzing. I awakened Immortal Grade talent?

But before she could react, Lu Changsheng appeared before her.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

Upon seeing Lu Changsheng, the girl hurriedly cupped her hands in salute. Lu Changsheng waved a hand and helped her up.

"What is your name? What is your background?"

Hearing Lu Changsheng's question, the girl quickly replied.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, this little girl is named Qin Yushuang. I am an orphan."

As she spoke, a bitter expression appeared on Qin Yushuang's face. But Lu Changsheng did not concern himself with such matters and simply continued.

"I wish to bring you into the Lu Family. From this day onward, how about changing your name to Lu Yushuang?"

Upon hearing Lu Changsheng's words, the household servants present grew envious. Joining the Lu Family meant that from now on, Qin Yushuang would no longer be on the same level as them.

Qin Yushuang froze upon hearing this, but soon agreed in wild delight.

"Reporting to Old Ancestor, I am willing!"

"Good. From today onward, you will be called Lu Yushuang. You are a member of my Lu Family."

Lu Changsheng spoke with satisfaction. A genius with Immortal Grade talent would have no great difficulty reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage so long as nothing unexpected happened. Furthermore, Qin Yushuang was an orphan, which made her all the more suitable.

Lu Jiuyuan, standing to one side, did not feel much jealousy or unfairness upon hearing the Old Ancestor's words. After all, he still had his cheat, so there was no need for him to envy others.

"Thank you, Old Ancestor, for bestowing your surname upon me."

Lu Yushuang said excitedly. Joining the Lu Family meant that she would no longer need to drift from place to place in the future. Although she had tested with Immortal Grade talent, the Lu Family had Mahayana cultivators. Joining them was not beneath her at all.

"Mm. Since you are now a member of my Lu Family, come with me."

After speaking, Lu Changsheng left with Lu Yushuang. As a member of the Lu Family, she naturally had to receive some special treatment.

"Continue!"

Seeing their envious expressions, Lu Jiuyuan smiled and shook his head. The testing continued, but no further Immortal Grade talents appeared. At best, there were Earth Grade talents.

After testing talent, they naturally had to test physiques. This test proved just as astonishing.

"I awakened a Heavenly Grade Physique—the Vajra Body!"

A burly man exclaimed excitedly. Soon afterward, Lu Changsheng stepped in once more and invited him to join the Lu Family. Unsurprisingly, he too was an orphan, named Lu Guan, and was later renamed Lu Guan.

Yet geniuses were few in the end. No other remarkable physiques appeared afterward; at most, there were Earth Grade physiques.

After the testing was complete, it was time to soak in Body Tempering Fluid and break through to the Body Tempering Realm.

Lu Jiuyuan waved his hand once again, and four household servants soon carried a large wooden tub into the square. Lu Jiuyuan then unhurriedly walked over to the tub and tossed in all kinds of heavenly treasures meant to help one enter the Body Tempering Realm.

These household servants had been born into extreme poverty. Forget the Qi Refining Stage—they had not even entered the Body Tempering Realm.

Naturally, Lu Jiuyuan was not stingy. He was willing to use Profound Grade heavenly treasures even on a group of household servants. One had to know, for ordinary families, being able to use Yellow Grade Body Tempering Fluid was already quite good.

Though they did not know what Profound Grade Body Tempering Fluid was, they understood how much the Young Master had given for them. Every one of them made up their minds that they would surely serve the Young Master with utter devotion, through fire and water!

As Lu Jiuyuan tossed all manner of heavenly treasures into the wooden tub, he soon concocted a steaming tub of Body Tempering Fluid.

"Everyone, get in."

Lu Jiuyuan looked at them as he spoke. The servants stared at the still-steaming Body Tempering Fluid and drew a deep breath.

"Let's do this, brothers!"

With that, they surged straight into the Body Tempering Fluid. The violent energy within it flooded through their pores and into their bodies.

In an instant, overwhelming pain crashed into their minds, and waves of miserable screams rang across the entire square. Lu Jiuyuan frowned slightly at the sight.

"Does it hurt that much? Why didn't I feel any pain back then?"

When he had soaked in the Body Tempering Fluid, it had felt like soaking in a hot spring. But Lu Jiuyuan would never have imagined that the reason he felt no pain was Heavenly Dao's Blessing.
