BXBX NOVEL Chapter 81: Body Cultivation Technique
"He has already left, as he has important matters to attend to," Lu Huang said, staring at Lu Zhen with pride evident on his face.
"Since you have earned the Ancestor\'s permission, you can go to the private forest of our Lu family to train there." Lu Huang moved his mouth as if he were speaking, but not a single sound came out, as suddenly a person appeared out of nowhere.
The person wore a black dress, fully covering her body and face like a ninja, with only her crystal-clear blue eyes visible.
"She will guide you."
"Alright, father," Lu Zhen said as he bowed.
"Remember, son, to meet me after two weeks," Mother Lu sent a voice transmission to Lu Zhen. Although he was a little stunned, he nodded his head.
"Young master, please." The girl bowed and almost instantly reached the gate.
"This girl is quite interesting." When Lu Zhen saw her footwork, he was definitely interested, as her speed was comparable to his when he was using combat arts.
"She should be a third-stage martial artist, huh?" Lu Zhen thought to himself as she opened the door for him and led the way.
"How interesting, why did you give him your personal guard?" Lu Ying asked, her eyes gentle as she watched Lu Zhen leave.
"You know our son has become an adult, so you know *cough*..." Lu Huang looked at Lu Ying, who still had a smile on her face.
"It would have been better if he were a virgin, but he probably isn\'t now," Lu Ying replied with a mysterious smile.
"Ah, he isn\'t? Wasn\'t he before?"
"Yes, but it seems like he\'s already had his experiences."
"But with who?"
"Don\'t you know how the Huang family came to seek us out?" Lu Ying looked at Lu Huang as if he were an idiot.
Lu Huang\'s eyes widened with realization, and he nodded his head.
"He might have had encounters with the other girl as well, but it\'s better not to mention her name since it could be troublesome," she thought to herself.
"My son kidnapped two women and is no longer a virgin; he might forget about me soon," Lu Ying thought with some regret as she closed her eyes to rest.
Lu Zhen and the girl walked through the Lu family estate.
He could see the almost fanatical reverence of the servants, all of them bowing before Lu Zhen.
"With strength, even my reputation increases a lot, huh?" Lu Zhen mused to himself.
"Alright, so what should I call you, girl?" He looked at the girl in black.
The girl suddenly flinched a little when she heard Lu Zhen, as if she was deep in thought. However, she quickly recovered and bowed.
"My name is Li Nan, young master."
"So, you\'re not from the Lu family?"
"No, young master. We are orphan children who are adopted from a young age to become guards for direct descendants."
Lu Zhen could hear the tone of respect and reverence in her voice.
"Hmm, well, the tactic of taking orphaned children is quite common in this world, huh?" he thought to himself. Initially, Lu Zhen had wanted to recruit orphans for his forces, but seeing that the Lu family and likely almost every family adopted these strategies, he decided to reconsider.
After all, people from orphanages were usually those who had suffered hardships, which made them mature quickly. If given the chance to practise martial arts and change their destinies, they would undoubtedly make rapid progress and be loyal.
The forces in this world were not stupid.
"Hmm, let\'s see what this girl is about..." Lu Zhen\'s eyes turned golden as he examined her.
[Li Nan]
[Cultivation: Third-stage martial realm]
[Constitution: ????]
Lu Zhen could barely see any additional information beyond her cultivation level and name, which was pretty useless to him since he already knew those.
"Sigh, when will my appraisal skill be useful?" Lu Zhen sighed as he looked at his system with a thought.
[Log]
Lu Zhen opened the log with a thought.
[You have used Appraisal Eyes]
[Appraisal Eyes has levelled up from level 4 to level 5]
"Well, since I\'ve been using Appraisal Eyes so often, it\'s natural it should level up. However, even with Appraisal Eyes , it\'s pretty useless." Lu Zhen\'s mood soured as he glanced at his stats.

"The only things that have increased in my stats are my lifespan and Appraisal Eyes, huh..." Lu Zhen thought with some bitterness.
"Let\'s train as hard as possible in this one month." Lu Zhen flexed his muscles. After all, he hadn\'t forgotten about that strange creature that chased him even to here in the Lu estate. However, the creature was most likely scared of Lu Ming, who was in the family, so it didn\'t dare to enter.
"Young master, we have arrived." Lu Zhen heard the voice as he ended his contemplation, looking at the vast greenery of the forest.
"The forest is really inside the Lu family estate, huh..." Lu Zhen was a little shocked, although he had heard about this, seeing and hearing were different things.
"Maybe that is the reason the estate is so huge," Lu Zhen thought. It felt natural since the whole estate was as big as any normal city in Lu Zhen\'s previous world.
"Li Nan, please get me a brush and some paper. I need to order some instruments for practice."
"Yes, young master," she said as she bowed.
