Qingfeng City, Lujia House.

"Puff!"

A subtle sound came from a dilapidated room in a villa.

In the room, a young man in green looked at a transparent jade placed in front of him in a daze. To be precise, the young man was not looking at the jade, but the liquid in the jade. At this time, a stream of white smoke with a stimulating smell was slowly spreading from the liquid.

The young man was named Lu Chen, who was a direct descendant of the Lu family.

"It failed again!"

"Haha, I still can't be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist." A bitter smile gradually appeared on Lu Chen's face. He shook his head slightly and said softly.

Lu Chen is a junior pharmacist. As early as eight years ago, Lu Chen successfully refined the primary pharmacist and became a junior pharmacist. Over the past eight years, Lu Chen has been working hard to improve his pharmacist skills and wants to be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist, but he has not been able to succeed until now.

This does not mean that Lu Chen has no talent in refining medicine, but... he has a physique without attributes!

On the Tenglong Continent, people without attributes are actually ordinary people. Ordinary people cannot embark on the path of cultivation, and they cannot become powerful cultivators.

Generally speaking, one of the basics of becoming a pharmacist is that he must be a cultivator. It is already an accident that Lu Chen can become a junior pharmacist with an attributeless physique. If Lu Chen can really be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist, his status in the Lu family will also rise.

Unfortunately, as an ordinary person with no attributes, it is nothing more than a fool to become an intermediate pharmacist, and it is impossible for anyone to think of it.

In fact, a few years ago, many people had persuaded Lu Chen to give up his dream of becoming an intermediate pharmacist. Because in order to become an intermediate pharmacist, Lu Chen had already wasted too many herbal resources. If Lu Chen had not wasted his money on purchasing herbal medicines to refine intermediate pharmacists, the wealth he had accumulated so far would be enough to make many people jealous.

Because he wasted too much money, Lu Chen has almost no savings now. His entire possessions are only a few gold coins. A piece of material for the body quenching potion requires about one hundred gold coins.

"Da da da da!"

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came.

Lu Chen's eyebrows moved slightly in the room, and then a smile appeared on his face. He quickly opened the door and walked out. He happened to see a gray figure walking in from outside the yard.

"Grandpa Third!" Lu Chen looked at the gray figure who had just come in with kindness.

The gray figure is Lu Chen's third grandfather Lu Tianxing, Lu Chen's biological grandfather, and the elder of the Lu family. There are nine elders of the Lu family, and Lu Tianxing is just one of them.

"Refining medicine again?" Lu Tianxing sniffed it gently, then said to Lu Chen in a gentle tone. He obviously smelled the smell of herbs in the air.

"Well, the body quenching potion has failed again." Lu Chen sighed and said helplessly to Grandpa Third.

Body quenching potion is a basic intermediate pharmacy. If it can be successfully refined, it means that Lu Chen has been successfully promoted to an intermediate pharmacist.

"Don't be discouraged. Intermediate potions are not so easy to refine. As long as you don't give up, there is hope and one day it will succeed." Lu Tianxing said with a smile. Although he said this, he actually did not have much hope that Lu Chen could refine body quenching potions, because Lu Tianxing knew very well how unlikely an ordinary person would be to refine intermediate potions.

However, he would not persuade Lu Chen to give up. Even if Lu Chen keeps refining and failing, he would not let Lu Chen give up. Because, compared to Lu Chen being able to become an intermediate pharmacist, he values ​​Lu Chen's tenacious spirit more, which is valuable.

Lu Chen was able to keep trying to refine body quenching potions because of Lu Tianxing's support. If Lu Tianxing hadn't often provided the materials for body quenching potions, Lu Chen wouldn't have been able to buy so many materials frequently.

"I will definitely work hard, Grandpa Third!" Lu Chen looked at Lu Tianxing with a firm look.

"Yeah!" Lu Tianxing nodded, suddenly turned his mind and said in a deep voice, "I have discussed with the Great Elder. He promised to help you at the adult meeting. With the Great Elder's help, you should be able to continue to stay in the family."

"Would the Great Elder help me?" Lu Chen's eyes moved and he looked at Lu Tianxing in surprise.

Lu Chen is already sixteen years old this year. Lu Chen must also attend the adult conference held by his family this year. After the adult conference, Lu Chen is an adult.

According to the rules of the Lu family, family children, whether they are direct or side-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub

The family children sent out have no hope in their lives, and it is almost impossible to have the opportunity to return to the family. Because of this, no family child is willing to leave the family compound and go to those places to work.

Originally, Lu Chen, an ordinary family member with no attributes, had no chance to stay in the family compound, but because Lu Chen was a junior pharmacist and the elder of the third grandfather, Lu Chen had a glimmer of hope to stay in the family. Now, with the grandfather willing to speak for Lu Chen, the chances of Lu Chen staying in the family when he became an adult will increase a lot.

Of course, if Lu Chen can be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist before the adult meeting, it will be a different situation. An intermediate pharmacist is very important for a family like the Lu family. Now there are only three intermediate pharmacists and one senior pharmacist in the entire Lu family.

It can be said that if Lu Chen was an intermediate pharmacist, even if he offered to leave the family, the family would probably not agree. Of course, there is only half a year left before this year's adult conference. If Lu Chen wants to be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist within half a year, the chance of success can be completely ignored.

"Yes, the Great Elder talked to me yesterday. At the adult meeting, he promised to speak for you." Lu Tianxing smiled and nodded at Lu Chen.

"Third Grandpa, thank you!" Lu Chen looked at Lu Tianxing and said solemnly. Although Lu Tianxing did not say much details, Lu Chen also knew very well how much the price Lu Tianxing would pay to ask the Great Elder for help. If there was no sufficient benefit, the Great Elder would not be able to help Lu Chen.

"Are you still polite to grandpa?" Lu Tianxing said casually with a smile.

...

The next day, the Lu Family Treasure Pavilion.

"Huh? Isn't this Lu Chen?" A sharp voice came from the front.

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly and he looked forward.

The sound was made by a young man in a white robe. The name of this young man was Lu Yan, who was the eldest elder's grandson. Unlike Lu Chen, Lu Yan's status in the Lu family is far from comparable to Lu Chen, because Lu Yan is also sixteen years old this year, but he is already a cultivator in the late stage of body tempering.

At the age of sixteen, he entered the late stage of body tempering, which is a first-class talent in the entire Qingfeng City.

In the first path of martial arts, bone refining is first, bone refining is the body tempering, and body quenching is the marrow washing. After marrow washing, it is the awesome innate powerhouse. In the entire Qingfeng City, cultivators in the innate realm are considered true strongmen. In the entire Lu family, there are not many innate powerhouses, and the Lu family is one of the three major families in Qingfeng City.

He can enter the late stage of body tempering at the age of sixteen and is likely to become a congenital strongman in the future. How could the family not focus on cultivating outstanding children like Lu Yan? What's more, Lu Yan is also the grandson of the family's elder.

"Lu Chen, what are you doing in Treasure Pavilion?"

"Haha, is the Treasure Pavilion where you, the waste, can come to? You can also come to the Treasure Pavilion that you cannot even enter the bone refining realm?" The two Lu family children around Lu Yan also ridiculed Lu Chen sarcastically.

Lu Yan and Lu Chen have always had a bad relationship. Because Lu Yan's father was once injured by Lu Chen's father Lu Yizhou, Lu Yan has always held a grudge against Lu Chen. If Lu Chen's grandfather had not been the third elder of the family, Lu Yan might have taken action against Lu Chen long ago.

"I have nothing to do with you when I come here!" Lu Chen looked at the three people in front of him, frowned, and then said.

"Hehe, it has nothing to do with us? Lu Chen, are you in your head? Don't you know where the family treasure pavilion is? Did you come to the treasure pavilion and get permission from the head of the family?"

"Lu Chen, don't blame me for being rude. To be honest, you are just a waste with no attributes. You will never be able to practice in your life, and you will never be able to enter the bone refining realm in your life! Are you still not convinced? Hehe, why don't you use your internal energy now? If you enter the bone refining realm, I promise not to stop you from entering the treasure pavilion!" Lu Yan said in a mean tone.

In fact, Lu Chen did not come to the Treasure Pavilion to read any martial arts scriptures. He just wanted to read the pharmacy books. Although he knew that it was unlikely that he would be promoted to an intermediate pharmacist in half a year, Lu Chen would never give up easily. Lu Chen wanted to find some inspiration for refining medicine from the classics left by the pharmacy predecessors. Before he arrived in the Treasure Pavilion, he happened to meet Lu Yan and others, and was stopped by the other party.

"Lu Yan, I am not as good as you now, but I may not be able to surpass you in the future. Now you are proud. When I surpass you, I will see if you can still laugh." Lu Chen looked at Lu Yan and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Although Lu Chen cannot practice and cannot even enter the bone refining realm, Lu Chen has never complained about himself. If he cannot make a breakthrough in martial arts, then he will improve in the refining of medicine. First, he will work hard to become an intermediate pharmacist, and then become a senior pharmacist. At that time, the entire family members will have to look at their faces, even if they cannot even enter the bone refining realm.

"Hahaha, I'm so joking. I've seen many self-righteous guys, but shameless people like Lu Chen, are really rare!" Lu Yan laughed unscrupulously, as if he had heard a huge joke, but under his smile, there was a trace of evil in his eyes. In fact, Lu Yan was very angry at this time. The reason for his anger was Lu Chen's indifferent attitude that seemed to be unwilling to accept no matter what.

"Lu Chen, get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Lu Yan said in a gloomy voice. He really wanted to hit Lu Chen.
