The size of the Wu Huang Continent was beyond Lu Fan's comprehension. However, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty was vast, consisting of sixteen prefectures. The emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty appointed sixteen governors to rule over their respective territories. Over time, this number was reduced to thirteen under the reign of successive emperors.
Currently, the imperial family's power has diminished. The current emperor ascended the throne at the age of eleven with the assistance of a national teacher. However, due to the young age of the emperor, it caused turmoil throughout the country.
...
Sitting in a wheelchair, Lu Fan could actually walk now because the blocked meridians in his legs were cleared by the circulation of spiritual energy. Despite his sudden recovery after being paralyzed for more than ten years, Lu Fan did not make a fuss and continued to sit in the wheelchair.
Ni Yu, with her eyes wide open, pushed the wheelchair. She was filled with curiosity and excitement, her little face turning red.
The scene of Lu Fan moving his toes and manipulating his Qi appeared repeatedly in her mind. The image of the cold and aloof young master had collapsed instantly.
Of course, what surprised her even more was that the young master's injured leg could move!
At the end of the garden, two maids appeared, sweating profusely as they hurriedly approached. Seeing Ni Yu pushing Lu Fan in the wheelchair, their hearts skipped a beat. Fortunately, when they saw that Lu Fan was unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Ni, let Ning Jie take over."
Lu Fan said to Ni Yu, who had a flushed face.
Ning Zhao, the senior maid, heard Lu Fan's words and took Ni Yu's place without hesitation.
Ni Yu stuck out her tongue and stepped aside, standing next to another maid.
Ning Zhao glanced suspiciously at Ni Yu's flushed face and noticed Lu Fan's contented expression. Her eyebrows slightly raised.
Is there something fishy going on?!
"Ning Jie, have you found my father?"
Lu Fan naturally noticed Ning Zhao's expression, but he didn't explain anything. He just asked a question.
With a gentle tone and a touch of pity in her voice, Ning Zhao replied, "Master is in the study, preparing to summon Doctor Hua for the young master's treatment."
"No need to trouble him. Just push me straight to the study."
Lu Fan said.
Ning Zhao nodded and pushed the wheelchair out of the garden, heading straight for the study.
Since the cultivation of spiritual energy was complete, the system prompted that there was a [privilege] to view something. However, Lu Fan temporarily refrained from exploring it, afraid of falling into "idiot mode" again and scaring his father and the maids, causing unnecessary trouble.
Arriving at the study, the intricately carved crimson door was open. Ni Yu and another maid waited outside, while Ning Zhao carefully pushed the wheelchair into the study.
The study had no threshold for easy access by Lu Fan.
From a distance, Lu Fan saw a sturdy figure wearing armor, not wearing a helmet. As if hearing the sound of the wheels rubbing against the ground, the figure in the study turned around with a sharp gaze, emitting a chilling aura that seemed to lower the temperature in the air.
"Dad."
Lu Fan spoke up.
Even with the integration of memories, it still feels a little uncomfortable to call out this name.
When Lu Changkong saw his pitiful son sitting in a wheelchair, the killing intent in his eyes disappeared.
"Fan'er, Nian Zhao said that you seemed absent-minded, but is there anything wrong with your body?"
Lu Changkong asked with concern. Upon hearing the news from Nian Zhao, he hurried back to the Lu Mansion without even removing his armor.
At this moment, Lu Fan was examined from head to toe by Lu Changkong, relieved to find that everything was fine.
"I'm fine, Father. I made you worry."
Lu Fan smiled and replied.
Hmm?
They say that no one knows a child better than his father. Lu Changkong noticed that Lu Fan was different from usual.
Although Lu Fan was paralyzed in his legs, in the entire Beiluo City, and even in the capital of Da Zhou, no one dared to call him useless. This was not only because of Lu Changkong's identity, but also because Lu Fan had proven himself.
Although Lu Fan couldn't practice martial arts, he had great accomplishments in the field of Confucianism and literature. He even received praise from the national teacher of Da Zhou.
However, Lu Changkong knew that although Lu Fan worked hard in the field of literature, he still had unresolved concerns in his heart. His face rarely showed a smile, and his temper became somewhat insecure and irritable. After all, having a leg disability made him weaker compared to ordinary people, and not everyone could easily let go of that.
"You may leave."
Lu Changkong glanced at Nian Zhao and waved his hand.
Nian Zhao hesitated for a moment, but without hesitation, she bowed and left the study, closing the door behind her.
"Fan'er... Now that the world is chaotic and the twelve feudal lords have risen up, Beiluo City is the frontline defense of Da Zhou's capital in the north. As your father, I neglected you. Don't blame me."
Lu Changkong's eyes carried a hint of apology.
Lu Fan also felt warmth in his heart due to Lu Changkong's apology.
Lu Changkong was a good father, and Lu Fan's leg disability did not affect his mental well-being. It was all thanks to Lu Changkong's presence since childhood.
After struggling in his heart, Lu Fan decided not to hide anymore because it would be impossible to conceal it anyway.
He looked up and stared at Lu Changkong with a gleam in his eyes.
"Father, there's something I need to tell you..."
Lu Changkong frowned and said, "Speak."
However, Lu Fan didn't say anything. He lifted the thin blanket covering his legs, placed his hands on the wheelchair's armrests, exerted force, and stood up unsteadily.
Hmm?
The air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.
The next moment, the study was filled with surging blood and energy, causing the paintings hanging on the walls to tremble.
Lu Changkong took a few steps forward, supporting Lu Fan. His eyes were full of disbelief.
He had invited the top physician in the world to examine Lu Fan's leg disability, and the diagnosis was that he would never be able to stand again. But now, Lu Fan miraculously stood up!
It was a huge shock to him.
Lu Changkong looked at Lu Fan, his lips trembling, unable to contain his excitement.
"Fan'er, can you take a few steps?"
Lu Changkong asked cautiously.
Lu Fan's face turned red, and Lu Changkong's powerful energy made him feel uncomfortable, as if needles were pricking his back. Perhaps this was the feeling of a martial artist in this low-martial world.
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the strange feeling, Lu Fan walked with the support of Lu Changkong. At first, he was not used to it and almost stumbled.
However, Lu Changkong could tell that Lu Fan... could really walk now!
Lu Changkong burst into laughter, and his laughter echoed in the study.
After a long time, Lu Changkong cautiously helped Lu Fan sit back in the wheelchair.
Although he didn't know how Lu Fan's leg disability had improved, there were some things that Lu Changkong didn't want to ask about.
The recovery of his leg disability was a blessing.
Lu Changkong's expression became serious. "Fan'er, except for your three maids, don't tell anyone else about this. It's good news that you can walk again, but if the news spreads... the national teacher might ask the emperor to order you to the imperial capital."
"So, keep it a secret for as long as possible. Nian Zhao and the others were carefully chosen and trained maids for you. They can not only protect your safety, but also be trusted. As for others, they shouldn't know."
Lu Changkong was very serious.
Lu Fan also understood the situation in the Da Zhou Dynasty to some extent.
With the twelve feudal lords rising up and causing chaos, the area under the control of the Da Zhou royal family had been reduced to only six cities, roughly equivalent to a county.
In order to prevent the city lords of these six cities from rebelling, the national teacher had the legitimate heirs of the other five city lords sent to the imperial capital, where they would be carefully cultivated in the name of studying Confucianism and the Tao. In reality, they were being monitored and controlled.
The Lu family had always been loyal, and Lu Fan's leg disability and inability to practice martial arts made him unable to be sent to the capital.
The other city lords had no objections either.
But once they found out that Lu Fan's leg disability had improved, those city lords would not be willing to accept it. Under pressure from the national teacher, they would definitely summon Lu Fan to the capital.
Lu Fan understood the interests involved and nodded.
"Alright, go back and rest well. Now that your leg disability has recovered, I can finally rest assured... You can visit Uncle Dantai with peace of mind."
A cold and stern expression appeared on Lu Changkong's face.
...
Lu Fan returned to his room.
The three maids started cleaning.
At this moment, Lu Fan finally had some free time.
His mind moved, and the system panel appeared before him.
Host: Lu Fan
Title: Qi Refiner (Permanent)
Qi Refining Level: 1
Soul Strength: 1
Body Strength: 05
Spiritual Qi: 10 strands
Transformation Reward: None
World Rating: Five Phoenix Continent [Low Martial]
Permissions: [Tasks], [Doctrine Platform], [Spiritual Qi Projection]
Because he had developed spiritual qi, the system reminded him that the [Permissions] had been opened, so Lu Fan's sight fell directly on the permissions section.
In the permissions section, there was indeed a change. Three new options appeared.
"Tasks, Doctrine Platform, Spiritual Qi Projection?"
Lu Fan squinted his eyes.
Among the three options, the Spiritual Qi Projection option was highlighted and could be triggered, while the Doctrine Platform and Tasks were dimmed.
Lu Fan tried to delve into the two dimmed options with his consciousness, but it was as if they sank into the depths of the ocean without any response.
Apparently, specific methods were needed to unlock them.
Putting aside the Doctrine Platform and Tasks options for now, Lu Fan began to study the Spiritual Qi Projection.
He closed his eyes and immersed his mind in the [Spiritual Qi Projection].
Suddenly, a line of prompt text appeared before his eyes.
"Spiritual Qi Projection Permission: According to the current Qi Refining Level of the host, spiritual qi can be projected at different multiples (minimum hundredfold) from the host's Qi Pellet to a designated area to improve the cultivation environment and lead a craze for cultivation."
"Note: If spiritual qi is projected onto a person, it will not multiply."
Lu Fan was pleasantly surprised.
In order to transform the Low Martial World into a fantasy world, there needed to be sufficient spiritual qi...
And now, the permission for [Spiritual Qi Projection] solved the problem of spiritual qi.
Not only could he produce spiritual qi, but he could also transport it.
This was going to create a grand revival of spiritual qi!
He would make this world dance because of him.
Moreover, Lu Fan also noticed...
Spiritual qi could be infused into the human body!
This meant that he could create cultivators with spiritual qi by infusing them with spiritual qi!
Lu Fan suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of excitement in his eyes.
Perhaps he should find a martial artist to infuse with spiritual qi.
In the room, Nian Zhao, who was gently holding up a brush on the desk, shivered as she felt a hot gaze.
She subconsciously looked up and saw Lu Fan sitting in the wheelchair...
At some point, he had leaned against the armrest, supporting his chin with his hand, staring at her with an * smile full of vitality.
