Relying on the Copy Interface.
Over the course of a year and a half.
Lu Changfeng's talent had undergone earth-shaking changes.
But Lu Changfeng felt that it still wasn't enough.
After witnessing Zhang Desheng's death with his own eyes.
The goal Lu Changfeng pursued had already become Eternal Martial Arts Longevity.
Even with powerful talents and outstanding combat strength, one day he would still die.
Only by pursuing longevity at the end of the martial path could one roam free and carefree forever.
To live forever and never die, powerful combat strength alone wasn't enough.
He also needed an even stronger bone structure to advance his martial cultivation!
Having emerged from seclusion, Lu Changfeng had already made his plans. He would change his name and surname and enter the Wang Family in the Inner City!
As the greatest power behind Fengcheng, the Wang Family had no shortage of people with outstanding bone-structure talents.
Lu Changfeng's goal was naturally to lie low within the Wang Family, copy their bone-structure talents, and further strengthen himself!
With the aid of an unlimited supply of Silkworm Meat, Chun Zhu had already broken through to Blood Tempering Third Level. Her lightness skill had reached perfection, which was more than enough to look after the Silkworm Seeds in the Small Courtyard for Lu Changfeng.
After leaving Changle Martial Arts School, Black Ox rented a place beside Lu Changfeng's Small Courtyard. With Lu Changfeng's support, his cultivation had also reached Blood Tempering Second Level.
His height had transformed once more, from 1.70 meters to 1.75 meters. Among ordinary people, he was already slightly above average, and no one would call him short anymore.
On this trip, Lu Changfeng gave Chun Zhu proper instructions and set a future schedule for handing over the Silkworm Meat before taking Black Ox to the Inner City.
At noon.
A tall young man arrived at the Wang Family Hall of Worship in the Inner City. Beside him stood a dark-skinned, sturdy servant.
The two were none other than Lu Changfeng and Black Ox.
The Wang Family recruited attendants year-round. After Lu Changfeng assumed an alias and explained his purpose, he was taken to the guest hall of the Hall of Worship.
It wasn't long before.
A member of the Wang Family walked in.
He introduced himself as Wang Jin, responsible for all matters concerning the Hall of Worship, including recruiting guest attendants.
"So, Brother Lu Ren, could you tell me about your background and what you're good at? Do you have any other requirements?"
Lu Ren was Lu Changfeng's assumed name.
Black Ox had also taken the alias Lu Niu, and his identity was Lu Changfeng's household servant.
"I came from a martial arts school in Qingshan Prefecture."
"My cultivation is at Blood Tempering Fifth Level, and I'm skilled in saber techniques."
Wang Jin looked curiously at Lu Changfeng's back. "Skilled in saber techniques? Then why do you have a sword on your back in addition to the saber?"
Lu Changfeng replied, "My saber technique has reached its current bottleneck, and it's difficult to advance even an inch further. So I wanted to practice a sword technique. Perhaps I can gain insight by analogy."
Wang Jin nodded. "What you said makes sense. I hope you can achieve mastery in your saber technique."
"Hmm, what requirements do you have besides the salary?"
Lu Changfeng said, "I want to view the martial arts collected by the Wang Family."
Wang Jin frowned slightly but agreed nonetheless. "We have a Scripture Pavilion for attendants, but it is generally only open to attendants who have made great contributions."
"However, you're only in your early thirties and have already reached Blood Tempering Fifth Level. It isn't impossible for you to reach the Muscle Tendon Realm in the future. Consider this an investment from the Wang Family. The Worshiper Scripture Pavilion will be open to you!"
Lu Changfeng cupped his hands. "In that case, I have no other requirements."
"Then let's sign the contract."
Lu Changfeng signed the contract with Wang Jin and moved into the independent Small Courtyard reserved for attendants inside the Wang Mansion Hall of Worship that very day.
The courtyard naturally wasn't very large. It had only three rooms, but it was more than enough to live in.
As for daily meals, there was a dedicated Worshiper Kitchen.
Given Lu Changfeng's cultivation, his annual salary was eight hundred taels of silver.
The salary wasn't the most important thing. More importantly, the Wang Family also provided its attendants with a portion of high-quality Earth Dragon Meat every month.
There were more than thirty attendants in the Wang Family Hall of Worship now, most of them drawn by the supply of Earth Dragon Meat.
The attendants generally had nothing to do. Whenever the Wang Family needed them, they would naturally be summoned.
After entering the Hall of Worship, Lu Changfeng stayed there for more than ten days in a row, burying himself in cultivation.
Lu Changfeng was more than happy with that.
He immersed himself in his cultivation.
Blood Tempering Sixth Level was the limit for most people. With Lu Changfeng's outstanding bone structure and his perfected [Mount Le's Wrathful Vajra], he could continue increasing the Qi and Blood in his body, advancing bit by bit toward Blood Tempering Seventh Level.
His cultivation speed had slowed considerably, but Lu Changfeng knew that this was for the sake of a better Foundation Establishment. Cultivation could not be rushed.
Half a month later, Wang Jin finally found Lu Changfeng and assigned him his first attendant mission.
"Protect the Wang Family's Sixth Miss while she goes sightseeing outside the city?"
Indeed, many of the attendants' missions involved protecting the Wang Family's younger generation.
Of course, the descendants qualified to receive protection from attendants were all exceptionally outstanding.
Lu Changfeng rubbed his nose. Early that morning, he put on a purple attendant's robe, strapped the saber and sword to his back, and came to the Sixth Miss's courtyard.
The Wang Family's Sixth Miss was named Wang Yue. She was the sixth child of the Wang Family's current patriarch, Wang Shou, and was sixteen years old.
Her bone structure was said to be exceptionally outstanding, making her one of the Wang Family's rising stars.
After arriving at Wang Yue's courtyard, Lu Changfeng discovered that, besides him, there were two other Purple Robe Supplicants in the Blood Tempering Realm. In addition, there was even a Black Robe Supplicant!
The Black Robe Supplicant represented a Muscle Tendon Realm expert in the Wang Family—a true Martial Master.
This was the first time Lu Changfeng had come into contact with a Martial Master other than his master.
And in the Wang Family, a Martial Master was merely an attendant's guard!
He had truly come to the right place in the Wang Family!
As fellow attendants of the Wang Family, the several attendants nodded to one another and exchanged names.
Lu Changfeng's youthful appearance still attracted some attention.
The other two attendants in the Blood Tempering Realm both looked to be in their forties or fifties, while the Black Robe Supplicant in the Muscle Tendon Realm looked like an old man.
Lu Changfeng took the opportunity to quietly investigate the several attendants' cultivation and talents.
Name: Shangguan Zheng Bone Structure: Grade B Upper Talent: None . Name: Liu An Bone Structure: Grade B Upper Talent: Low-grade Swordplay Talent . Name: Mo Tian Bone Structure: Grade A Lower Talent: Low-grade Fistplay Talent
Mo Tian was the Martial Master in the Muscle Tendon Realm, while Shangguan Zheng and Liu An were both Martial Artists at Blood Tempering Fifth Level.
If he copied Mo Tian's Grade A Lower Bone Structure, Lu Changfeng would need to copy it fifty-six times to gather eight Grade A Upper Bone Structures and combine them into a Heroic Bone Structure.
There were seven chances to copy each year, so fifty-six copies would take eight years.
If he truly had no other choice, copying Mo Tian's bone structure could serve as a fallback plan.
However, after seeing the Wang Family's Sixth Miss, Wang Yue, Lu Changfeng instantly changed his mind.
Wang Yue had clearly dressed with great care for her outing today.
She had a slender figure and wore a long robe. Both her appearance and bearing were first-rate.
This woman paid great attention to propriety and composure, nodding to each of the four attendants who had come to protect her.
When her gaze fell on Lu Changfeng, she looked slightly surprised.
"This attendant looks unfamiliar. Is he a new addition to the Wang Family?" Wang Yue asked, her voice like a jade-throated oriole's, exceptionally pleasant to hear.
"My surname is Lu and my given name is Ren—Ren as in benevolence and righteousness. I did indeed join the Wang Family only recently," Lu Changfeng replied.
Wang Yue nodded. "No wonder. I was wondering why I had never seen you before. Attendant Lu, to have achieved such cultivation at your young age is remarkable. With you joining our Wang Family, things truly couldn't be better."
Wang Yue's manner of speaking was quite extraordinary, carrying the air of someone who considered herself the family head.
An ordinary person would certainly find it extremely easy to develop a favorable impression of her after hearing those words.
Lu Changfeng's thoughts, however, were not on that. At that moment, he was looking at Wang Yue's bone structure and calculating that if he copied hers, he would need only four years to complete the fusion into a Heroic Bone Structure!
