The Lu Family's four branches each had their own separate courtyards, each covering several thousand square meters. Just after leaving Lu Chen's place, Lu Kuang was pulled into the living room by Lu Yi.

As soon as he entered the living room, Lu Kuang, with a face full of displeasure, said, "Third Brother, what's going on with you? You let Chen'er do whatever he wants without even trying to advise him."

Lu Yi handed Lu Kuang a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Fourth Brother, don't be in such a hurry. Listen to what I have to say first, and then you can get angry if you still want to."

Lu Kuang thought that since his third brother was so smart, he must have considered what he was thinking. So, he took the tea from Lu Yi and sat down heavily.

Lu Kuang glared and said, "Third Brother, if you don't give me a satisfactory explanation today, I won't let this go."

"And how won't you let it go?" Lu Yi asked with a smile.

Lu Kuang thought for a while but couldn't come up with a way to "deal with" Lu Yi. In the end, he could only say fiercely, "I'm not leaving today."

Lu Yi laughed and said, "Great, stay and keep me company."

As he spoke, Lu Yi sat down calmly and said seriously, "Fourth Brother, the reason I'm letting Chen'er do as he pleases is that I suspect there's a master backing him."

Hearing this, Lu Kuang's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to Lu Yi, saying, "Third Brother, are you saying the expert who reconstructed Chen'er's dantian and meridians hasn't left yet?"

"I suspect so. Otherwise, Chen'er wouldn't refuse my Spirit Crystals, and he wouldn't choose not to keep a low profile after suffering a setback," Lu Yi said.

"Hey, Third Brother, you might be right. There's really a possibility of that," Lu Kuang agreed after thinking it over.

"Moreover, for some reason, I feel that the recent robbery of the three families' shops was also done by the person behind Chen'er," Lu Yi added.

Upon hearing this, Lu Kuang slapped the table and said excitedly, "Third Brother, it must be like that. Otherwise, that person wouldn't have spared our Lu Family."

"Exactly, it seems like he robbed the Four Great Families, but he didn't touch the Lu Family, most likely because of Chen'er," Lu Yi said.

Thinking about how the other party could produce Meridian Renewal Pills and Grand Restoration Pills, Lu Kuang said, "Third Brother, if they can save Chen'er, they can surely save you too. Why don't we talk to Chen'er and ask him to help you reconstruct your meridians and dantian as well?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi said sternly, "Fourth Brother, we mustn't do that."

Lu Kuang was puzzled and asked, "Why not, Third Brother? If you also have your meridians and dantian reconstructed, we'll have more hope for revenge."

Lu Yi replied, "Fourth Brother, the master behind Chen'er has already done us a great favor by saving Chen'er. We can't be greedy and risk offending them."

"Alright then," Lu Kuang nodded, feeling disappointed.

Lu Yi said, "Fourth Brother, I don't want anything else now. As long as the master behind Chen'er can protect him, I'm already satisfied."

Lu Kuang said, "If they can produce fifth or sixth-grade pills, they must at least be a Martial Emperor-level expert. Protecting Chen'er should be no problem."

Lu Yi thought the same. After chatting for a while longer, Lu Kuang left happily with Lu Zhan, no longer worried.

On the other side

Leaving the Lu Family, Lu Chen used the Soaring Heavens Step to head towards the western gate of Tianyuan City.

Because Lu Chen had been busy mining Spirit Crystals these past few days, Tianyuan City had become much "safer." During the day, the entire city was bustling with activity.

Passing through the commercial area covered by the Four Great Families, Lu Chen arrived at the center of the Western District, entering the most prosperous area of Tianyuan City.

It was well known that in the most prosperous area of Tianyuan City, only the Myriad Treasures Tower did not belong to the City Lord's Manor. All other properties were owned by the City Lord's Manor.

After reaching the center of the Western District, Lu Chen, guided by the memories of his predecessor, navigated through two streets and entered the largest market in Tianyuan City.

This market was vast, covering dozens of acres. Unlike the outside, there were no shops here, only stall after stall.

Moreover, the items sold at these stalls were diverse, but all were things that martial artists needed, making the place look very chaotic.

Additionally, because the items sold were valuable, the stall owners were not weak, and many of them, like Lu Chen, were wrapped up tightly.

Lu Chen came here because, through the memories of his predecessor, he knew of this place. Now that he had money, he wanted to try his luck here.

Upon entering the market, Lu Chen found that not only were there many stall owners, but there were also many visitors, all of whom were not weak martial artists.

With a quick glance, Lu Chen noticed that most of the items for sale were fake and not worth buying, as purchasing them would be paying a "stupidity tax."

"Don't miss out, don't miss out! I have an ancestral Flame Blade here, only a hundred Spirit Crystals. Buying it is a profit!"

"Sir, I have a fourth-tier Firewind Bird Beast Core here. If you buy it, your martial arts will improve by at least two realms, and it's only fifty Spirit Crystals."

"Oh, sir, don't go! If fifty is too much, we can negotiate for forty."

"Sir, ..."

"..."

Amidst the various noisy hawking, Lu Chen quietly released his Soul Power, carefully sensing each stall one by one.

"Hey, who would have thought that a small place like Tianyuan City would have such a thing? What a surprise!"

After looking around for a quarter of an hour, one stall caught Lu Chen's attention. His eyes lit up, and he walked over to the stall unhurriedly.
