The still-restless Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within the Divine Ability Bone astonished Lu Ming. He had already poured all his resources into it, so why wasn't it over yet?
His senses swept across the area, and he saw that the " Fire Lotus Mark " on his Divine Ability Bone was slowly unfolding its petals. On one of the petals, a vibrant green Flame of Life was rising, radiating boundless vitality.
Within the " Fire Lotus Mark," a powerful yet gentle force surged forth, drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and once again inscribing fine traces of Divine Ability Dharma Mark onto the Divine Ability Bone.
That was... the prototype of the fourth Divine Ability Dharma Mark!
Lu Ming suddenly realized, and was overjoyed. How could he have forgotten that this mysterious " Fire Lotus Mark " was actually a supernatural power he had cultivated, and a supernatural power of unimaginable grade!
This is also where his true strength lies!
Under the influence of the " Fire Lotus Mark," the fourth Divine Ability Dharma Mark was quickly and clearly engraved on the Divine Ability Bone.
Only then did the commotion emanating from the Divine Ability Bone gradually subside and return to normal. Only the abundant Primordial Qi filling his body proved that Lu Ming had undergone a tremendous improvement.
The changes brought about by this breakthrough are truly enormous.
Lu Ming was completely satisfied. He exited his cultivation state, opened his eyes, and then saw three large faces nervously approaching him, their eyes fixed on him.
It was Lu Jin, Lu Qingyan, and Lu Jinglei. They noticed the unusual movement of Primordial Qi coming from the backyard and rushed over. However, they hadn't dared to even breathe loudly before, for fear of disturbing Lu Ming's cultivation.
" A-Ming, you've successfully broken through?" Lu Qingyan asked, barely containing his excitement.
Lu Ming smiled and nodded, saying, "Father, from now on I'll be just like you, a Great Divine Ability Practitioner!"
Lu Jinglei asked curiously, "You've condensed two Divine Ability Dharma Mark? Your earlier commotion seemed a bit too astonishing; even Zhang Yue didn't achieve this back then."
Lu Ming held up four fingers and waved them in front of the three people.
The three of them followed the movement of his fingers, their eyes slightly dazed. Even Lu Jin 'Lu Jin pipe slipped from his fingers.
"You said you've condensed four Divine Ability Dharma Mark?" Lu Jin didn't even bother to pick up the fallen pipe, but instead asked in astonishment.
Lu Ming nodded.
"Hiss!"
Lu Qingyan and Lu Jinglei were filled with shock. After they broke through to the Great Divine Ability Practitioner Realm, they had to exert all their strength and reveal all their reserves to barely condense a single Divine Ability Dharma Mark.
His cultivation thereafter progressed at a rate of almost one Divine Ability Dharma Mark condensed each year, gradually increasing his power.
Despite their efforts over the years, the two of them haven't even accumulated twenty Divine Ability Dharma Mark yet.
As a result, Lu Ming has just broken through and has already condensed four Divine Ability Dharma Mark. Compared to this, it really makes people feel a sense of despair.
"Even Sub-Heaven-Grade Divine Ability Bone isn't this monstrous, is it?" Lu Qingyan asked incredulously. They had never heard of anyone being able to condense four Divine Ability Dharma Mark when they first advanced to the Great Divine Ability Practitioner Realm.
What terrifying depths of resources must that possess?
"It's not just because of the Sub-Heaven-Grade Divine Ability Bone; it should also be related to the opportunity that Lu Ming obtained," Lu Jin said, regaining his senses and picking up his pipe.
"Haha, the Divine Ability Child of my Lu Clan is truly amazing!" Lu Jinglei was overjoyed, grinning wildly.
Lu Jin then reminded him, "Don't reveal those four Divine Ability Dharma Mark for now, or they'll attract too much attention."
Lu Ming's performance at the gathering was already quite amazing, but it was still within the realm of what one could expect from High-Grade Divine Ability Bone. After all, some high-grade bone prodigies from advanced Divine Ability Hall and families could achieve this level with enough top-tier cultivation resources.
Some might speculate that Lu Ming possesses Mutated High-Grade Divine Ability Bone, but few would guess it's Sub-Heaven-Grade Divine Ability Bone.
If word were to spread that this newly promoted Great Divine Ability Practitioner had condensed four Divine Ability Dharma Mark, it would likely cause a stir and generate suspicion.
If this news were to reach the ears of the Great Golden Crow Hall, the Divine Ability Grandmaster within it might take notice of the Thunderfire Hall Great Golden Crow Hall before the influential figure behind Zhou Xuan arrives in Qingyuan Market.
No one can predict what the consequences will be then.
Lu Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.
Lu Jin then took out a jade bottle from his bosom and handed it to Lu Ming. The latter took it and saw that there were four perfectly round pills inside, emitting a rich fragrance.
"These are four ' Dharma Pattern Pill.' Now that you've advanced to the Great Divine Ability Practitioner, you no longer need Bone-Tempering Pill. The academy just happened to collect some fees recently, so I went and bought four for you. You can use them for now," Lu Jin said.
Lu Ming's expression was somewhat complicated. The Dharma Pattern Pill was the most common cultivation pill for Great Divine Ability Practitioner, which could accelerate the condensation of Divine Ability Dharma Mark. However, this pill was very expensive, costing thousands of Heavenly Gold Sand for a single pill. Although the Thunderfire Hall had improved a lot recently, the pavilion had hired two more Great Divine Ability Practitioner as instructors, which increased the expenses. Therefore, these four Dharma Pattern Pill were probably something Lu Jin had managed to squeeze out.
Lu Ming thought for a moment, then left behind two Dharma Pattern Pill, took out two more, and handed one to each of Lu Qingyan and Lu Jinglei.
"Hey, what are you doing, kid? Your second uncle has such talent, isn't it a waste to Dharma Pattern Pill?" Lu Jinglei glared at him and refused to take the pill.
Lu Qingyan nodded and said, "Good steel should be used on the blade. A-Ming, you don't need to feel guilty. Only when you rise to prominence can we do even better."
Lu Jin didn't speak. In fact, he felt a little guilty about constantly withholding his two sons' cultivation resources to support his grandson. But there was nothing he could do. Those years of training Zhang Yue had really drained the family's resources, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
"Father, Second Uncle, revitalizing the Thunderfire Hall and strengthening the Lu Clan is not just my responsibility. You can't expect me to shoulder everything, so your strength also needs to improve. Stagnation will only cause your cultivation to stagnate, making further advancement increasingly difficult." Lu Ming shook his head and said in a deep voice.
Seeing how sensible and considerate the child was, Lu Qingyan and Lu Jinglei fell silent, their expressions softening.
"Alright, this is A-Ming's small token of filial piety, so you don't need to refuse it. Anyway, judging by the time, the Moon Spirit Grass in the herb garden is ready to mature. Selling this batch of Moon Spirit Grass to the Li Clan will alleviate the situation at the academy a bit," Lu Jin said at this moment.
Upon hearing Lu Jin speak, Lu Qingyan and Lu Jinglei had no choice but to put away the Dharma Pattern Pill that Lu Ming had handed over.
"Grandpa, once I've improved my skills in Dao of Alchemy, I'll refine high-grade pills for you," Lu Ming said with a smile.
Lu Jin smiled and said with satisfaction, "Haha, I've never tasted that kind of high-grade pill in my life. I'll be waiting."
While everyone was overjoyed by Lu Ming's breakthrough, they saw his mother, Zhong Ying, rushing in from outside the courtyard with a panicked expression.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Lu Ming asked as soon as he saw this.
Zhong Ying looked at Lu Jin and the others, and said urgently, "Father, Qian Shan has suddenly returned, seriously injured. He said that the herb garden was attacked by bandits, and many Moon Spirit Grass have been destroyed!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed drastically.
