Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 5: Verdant Blade

"Sigh, I have reached level 9 in constitution, but I think I have reached my limit. Looks like I need to cultivate Qi now to further promote my growth," Lu Zhen sighed in realization. He had initially believed that he could infinitely level up, but he soon faced the cold reality that he had reached the limitations of his mortal body.

After he reached level 9 in constitution, no matter how hard he trains his body seemed to have no improve whatsoever as if he has reached a bottleneck.

Now, the only way to continue enhancing his physical abilities was through the tempering of Qi as he could only think of qi to strengthen his body more from his memories.

And in order to sense and harness Qi, he needed a cultivation method.

"I guess I'll have to seek out my cheap father and mother for a cultivation method." Lu Zhen thought with a sigh.

Lost in his thoughts, he was interrupted by a sweet and gentle voice.

"Young master, the tea is ready." Little Lily said as she handed him a cup. The aroma of the tea wafted into Lu Zhen's nostrils, bringing a sense of calmness and clarity to his mind.

The tea that Lu Zhen was served was made from rare and precious leaves infused with Qi, making it highly valuable. These special leaves required meticulous care and were incredibly expensive. In fact, the cost of the tea leaves alone could sustain a normal family for an entire month.

The process of making this tea was not to be taken lightly. It demanded the expertise of skilled individuals who understood the intricacies of tea preparation. Patience and attention to detail were essential to bring out the full potential of the leaves. Any negligence in the process would result in wasted tea and the loss of its unique qualities.

As Lu Zhen's maid, Little Lily had been trained rigorously from a young age in the art of tea making. She had been taught the specific techniques needed to prepare the tea to perfection.

"Your tea-making skill has improved, Little Lily." Lu Zhen remarked, satisfied with the quality of the tea. He then pulled Little Lily closer, placing his arm around her waist, which caused her to yelp in surprise and feel embarrassed.

As Lu Zhen was flirting with his little maid, the door was suddenly swung open, revealing the presence of a beautiful woman. Despite her age, her beauty remained evident, and she exuded an aura of power that seemed capable of striking fear into mortal men. She had dark hair and captivating magenta eyes. Her facial features bore a resemblance to Lu Zhen, but with a more feminine touch.

Lu Zhen was taken aback by the unexpected presence of his mother. He quickly greeted her with respect, releasing Little Lily from his grasp and bowing his head.

"Greetings, Mother." Lu Zhen greeted her, trying to maintain a composed demeanor.

His mother, noticing his previous interaction with Little Lily, couldn't help but tease him.

"Son, it seems you have made quite the progress." Mother Lu remarked with a playful tone.

Unfazed by her comment, Lu Zhen invited his mother to have tea, praising Little Lily's improved tea-making skills.

"Mother, please join us for tea. Little Lily's tea-making skills have greatly improved," Lu Zhen said calmly, maintaining a poker face.

"Son, it is time for you to stop making excuses and start taking martial arts seriously. No more slacking off." Mother Lu said with a stern tone, dismissing Lu Zhen's attempts at conversation.

Lu Zhen wanted to say something in response, but Mother Lu paid no attention to him. Instead, she pulled out a book seemingly out of thin air and handed it to him.

She took out a thick book, almost new, with the smell of ink still in it, and handed it to him.

"This is the cultivation method of the Lu Family, The Verdant Blade. It is our family inheritance. Read it carefully," Mother Lu instructed, ignoring Lu Zhen as she walked away.

As she turned to leave, Mother Lu paused suddenly,

"Remember, my son, your destiny lies in your own hands." she said, her voice laced with hidden meaning. The words hung in the air, lingering in the air. With that final piece of advice, she resumed her departure, leaving Lu Zhen deep in thought.

Although Lu Zhen felt somewhat wronged as it was the previous host of his body who was the good for nothing. But he didn't take it to heart after all being indignant doesn't do you shit.

As Lu Zhen saw the book, a complex expression crossed his face. He had been contemplating ways to ask for the cultivation method while concealing his abnormal behavior, but he hadn't expected it to be in his hands so soon.

A deep sense of gratitude welled up within Lu Zhen towards his parents in this new life. In his previous life, his relentless pursuit of success had left little room for meaningful connection with them. He realized that he had neglected them, only offering occasional financial support. Determined to rectify his past mistakes, he made a solemn vow to himself. In this life, he would ensure his parents' protection and well-being.

With renewed vigor he went towards his room again to train.

As Lu Zhen delved into the pages of the book, his initial furrowed expression gradually relaxed.

The verdant art blade had four stages in total.

As long as Lu Zhen reaches the first stage the trainee level he could sense qi.

Although some talents in this world can sense qi naturally, most rely on a martial technique to sense qi.

Lu Zhen was not oblivious to that talent so he had only one option left to practice verdant blade art.

The verdant blade art is a saber weapon martial art which allows the practitioner to convert the attrivutless qi into wood qi allowing countless benefits for the practitioner.

Wood qi not only made the practitioner have more vitality compared to the martial artist in the same realm it also granted higher healing and more lifespan to the practitioner.

It was the core inheritance of the Lu family and Lu Zhen understood its true value. Although he was the young master of the family, he wasn't allowed to get the technique without making any contribution but his mother just casually handed it to him.

Which made Lu Zhen genuinely grateful to her.
