This was a process of Bei Feng replacing the declining cells in his body and bones. The quality of this purple energy was very high, and it was extremely beneficial to the body.
Bei Feng slowly opened his eyes and spat out a cold breath.
A layer of dirt as well as congealed blood had already appeared on his body. This body had been simply too old, and the amount of impurities in it was extremely high.
If he wanted to completely replace the cells, blood, and bones, it would still require a long period of time. This was why he'd decided to only go out the next month.
This planet also followed a calender of years and months. The only difference was that a year here was equivalent to 1095 Earth days. In other words, one year here was three years on Earth. So, a month here lasted 90 days, and a day had 72 hours.
There was still more than half a month left until the next month, and to Bei Feng, this time was already sufficient.
Time passed slowly, day by day. Bei Feng's appetite also grew, and he needed to consume large amounts of Demonic Beasts meat every day. Of course, the results were also great.
Bei Feng had already completely stabilized his cultivation at the second layer of the Hundred Year realm, and his body seemed to have entered a second round of puberty. His height grew from 1.6 meters to the current 1.75 meters. His body also no longer reeked of the decaying aura so common among old people.
The entire Lu Family were left completely speechless by this abrupt change. Nobody expected that Lu Qintian's transformation would be so huge. It was so drastic as to be likened to meeting a ghost in broad daylight; never before had anyone seen a person undergo such drastic changes after breaking through to the second layer of the Hundred Year realm.
Today happened to be the first day of the new month. Bei Feng walked out of the yard with a set of clean new robes on his body as he watched the ensemble of men and vehicles below.
This manor-style building was 572 meters tall, but it only had three levels. At this moment, Bei Feng was standing atop the rooftop garden.
Numerous stalks of Grade 1 spirit herbs were scattered all over the garden, and at the center, there was a 100 meters tall Golden Silk Jade Flesh Tree, a Grade 4 spirit plant. At this time, the garden's spirit herbs were all blooming resplendently with flowers, and a clear floral fragrance filled the air.
”Father, let me come with you.”
Lu Liang and the rest walked over with worried expressions.
Bei Feng turned around and instructed seriously, ”No need, you just need to concentrate on taking care of the company along with your brother. The two of you must work hand in hand; without any one of you, the company will not be able to maintain its current state. Do not take those shareholders to be meek lambs; each and every one of them are actually ferocious wolves clad in sheep clothing! The moment you show any weakness, they will pounce on you and strip your bones bare! Your character is reserved, while your younger brother is brash and scheming. Communicate well if you meet any troubles.”
”Understood.” Lu Liang hurriedly lowered his head and nodded. He then turned around and introduced, ”Father, this team's experts are extremely loyal to us and can be trusted. Nine of them are powerful experts at the Third Layer of the Hundred Year realm, while the team captain is a powerhouse at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm.
”Old Master.”
The 10-man team all bowed respectfully and greeted Bei Feng.
These people were all children who had been taken in by the Lu Family from a young age, sponsored through school and taught martial arts. They were equivalent to the Lu Family's private troops.
”En. The trip to the Heaven Connecting Tower this time will be dangerous and unpredictable. Those who wish to leave, do so now. This old one will not stop you.”
Bei Feng nodded lightly as he measured the small group before him.
The 10 men did not move at all in response to the question. From a young age, they had been taught that the Lu Family members were people they needed to protect with their lives.
”Very good, since everyone is so dedicated, I shall be rewarding everyone one million dollars when we return. The team captain shall receive two million,” Bei Feng declared with a satisfied smile.
”We swear to protect the old master's safety with our lives!”
The 10 men bowed as a shocking killing intent rose into the air along with their shouts.
The corners of Bei Feng's mouth twitched lightly as he looked at this scene. These people had clearly been brainwashed. But was the Lu Family wrong to do this? Bei Feng did not think so.
The kids that the family had taken in were all orphans who had no one to care for them. The Lu Family raised them, clothed them, gave them food and a roof, as well as education and resources. The resources needed to nurture them were also not a small amount. Perhaps the motive of the Lu Family in doing so was not pure, but at the end of the day, they had indeed cared for these kids and gave them a life without lack of food and clothing.
There was no lack of immoral people on Tianmu Planet; at the very least, they had not mistreated the kids. At this point, it was difficult to judge the actions of the Lu Family right or wrong.
”The few of you, stand by and wait for my orders first.”
”Yes!”
Lu Liang instructed them, and the 10 men quickly left in an orderly manner.
”Father, let the experts block for you if there's any trouble; you must not take any unneccesary risks.”
Lu Liang felt an intense headache with regards to Bei Feng's stubborness. The whole family had tried to dissaude him countless times throughout the last few days, but the old man remained unmoved. At this time, they could only shake their heads and accept his decision.
”Don't worry, I know when to retreat and advance.
Bei Feng nodded casually, not worried in the least.
