Lu Youyou's Martial Heart!

Lu Zhen turned his palm over, and the Creation Divine Iron appeared in his hand.

The dark metal gleamed with a strange luster. The patterns on its surface seemed to come alive, shimmering with mysterious light.

"Youyou, you're about to break through to the fourth rank, too."

Lu Zhen spoke slowly.

Lu Youyou nodded.

"With our family's wealth and reserves, we can pour enough resources into your cultivation to get you through the fourth rank quickly. Within a few months, you'll definitely reach the peak fourth rank."

Lu Youyou nodded again.

This was the plan the family had decided on long ago. Naturally, she knew about it.

As a family renowned for artifact forging, the Lu Family had abundant resources. As the most gifted direct descendant of her generation, she would naturally receive the best training.

"Once you reach the peak fourth rank, you'll be preparing to break through to the fifth rank, and you'll have to consider forging your lifebound spirit weapon."

Lu Zhen continued, a trace of emotion in his voice. "A lifebound spirit weapon determines a martial artist's future cultivation path. The quality of its materials directly determines its starting point and potential.

"Good materials can give a spirit weapon a smooth path forward. With poor materials, even if you keep nurturing and improving it later, you'll get half the results for twice the effort."

"I already had the material for your spirit weapon prepared."

As Lu Zhen spoke, he turned his other hand over, and a fist-sized lump of silver metal appeared in his palm.

The metal was silvery white throughout, giving off a faint, cold gleam. A hint of frost emanated from it.

"Millennium cold iron, a high-grade material for artifact forging. It can't compare to the Creation Divine Iron, but it's still a treasure.
