In Danta of the Central Plains, inside Lu Chuan's dormitory.
Lu Chuan had just finished another round of meditation. He slowly opened his eyes and let out a long breath of stale air.
During this time, he had been studying the cultivation techniques and pill formulas he had comprehended. Though he had no use for these things at his current strength, they would still be good things to leave for those around him in the future.
He stood up and stretched his limbs, about to go outside for a walk, when a familiar notification suddenly rang out in his mind.
[Detected that the host possesses Heaven-Defying Comprehension. Successfully created a Heaven Tier body-tempering technique: Dragon-Phoenix Body Tempering Formula.] [Dragon-Phoenix Body Tempering Formula: After cultivation, the user will possess the physical strength of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan while also gaining the recovery ability of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python. The body will become indestructible, and injury recovery speed will increase a hundredfold.]
Hearing the notification, he froze for a moment before an expression of surprise appeared on his face. The physical strength of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan was one of the finest body-tempering talents on the entire Dou Qi Continent. The Ancient Void Dragon Clan had always been renowned for their powerful bodies, and experts of the same level found it difficult to break through their defenses.
The recovery ability of the Nine-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python was even more terrifying. It was said that as long as one still had a single breath left, one could recover within an extremely short time.
Combined together, they formed an absolutely heaven-defying cultivation technique.
Lu Chuan nodded in satisfaction. Although he had no use for the Dragon-Phoenix Body Tempering Formula himself, he could pass it on if he took on disciples in the future.
Just as Lu Chuan was still thinking about this, someone suddenly knocked on his door from outside.
"Brother Lu Chuan, are you in there?" Dan Chen's voice came from beyond the door.
Lu Chuan then walked over and opened the door, seeing Dan Chen standing outside with a smile on her face.
"What is it?"
Dan Chen smiled. "Nothing. I was just thinking that you've been in seclusion for several days, so I came to ask you to have a meal with me."
Lu Chuan nodded at that. "All right, let's go."
The two walked side by side through Danta's corridors. Along the way, every disciple they encountered would slightly bow and salute Lu Chuan, their attitudes far more respectful than before.
Although Lu Chuan himself knew nothing about the Sky Screen, nearly everyone in Danta knew that he was a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint. No one dared mention it in front of him, but the way everyone looked at him was completely different from before.
Lu Chuan, however, did not care much about these changes. He had not taken it to heart when others treated him as a good-for-nothing, and he would not take it to heart now that they treated him with respect.
The two arrived at Danta's dining hall and found a seat. Dan Chen went to bring back two portions of food and sat across from Lu Chuan.
"Brother Lu Chuan, did you comprehend something new again recently?" Dan Chen asked casually as she ate.
Lu Chuan paused. "How did you know?"
Dan Chen smiled. "I guessed. Every time you come out of seclusion, you gain something new. You were in seclusion for several days this time, so you must have comprehended something impressive again."
At that moment, Lu Chuan fell silent for a moment before speaking. "I did comprehend a cultivation technique. It can strengthen the body and improve recovery ability."
Dan Chen's eyes lit up when she heard that, but she did not ask further. She merely nodded. "That's good."
In truth, she was especially curious about how Lu Chuan had accomplished all this. A good-for-nothing Nine-Star Dou Zhe had suddenly become a Peak Nine-Star Dou Saint, and he could even create cultivation techniques and refine pills. It had completely overturned her understanding of the world.
But since Lu Chuan did not want to talk about it, she would not press him.
