Chapter 51: The Spiritual Vein Awakens, a Supreme Genius Emerges!

Her tears fell onto Lu Fan’s face, and he found himself too weak even to raise his hand. With great effort, he flicked his tongue over his dry lips, just catching the slightly salty tears. Before Lu Fan could speak, he suddenly felt a strange sensation in his lower abdomen. It was as if an inexplicable force was rising from his dantian, and a thought flashed through his mind.

“Help me up,” he said with sudden seriousness.

Jiang Ru Xue met his grave gaze and instinctively knew something important was happening. She struggled to lift him. Without warning, Lu Fan pulled open his shirt, revealing a strong, sculpted abdomen.

Jiang Ru Xue instinctively wanted to look away but felt Lu Fan wasn’t the type to show off. She continued to look. His skin was very fair, and his abdominal muscles were far from weak—they were beautifully defined, inviting a touch.

Along the edge of his abs was a circle of black totems she had noticed before. Most of the pattern had been hidden beneath his pants, so she had never known what it was. But today, the usually reserved Lu Fan had pulled his casual pants halfway down.

Blushing, she looked and saw, on his hidden lower abdomen, a Bagua totem.

More astonishingly, she saw a beam of light slowly flowing along the Bagua. What had seemed like a lifeless mark now seemed to come alive with a faint, wandering glow.

Jiang Ru Xue had never witnessed such a strange sight. She covered her mouth, unable to cry out.

Meanwhile, Lu Fan’s once calm face now shone with wild joy.

“Lu Fan, are you alright? What’s going on?”

They had been together for five years, and never before had his spiritual veins shown any sign of activity. But at the very moment he tasted Jiang Ru Xue’s tear, his spiritual veins stirred!

Within his body, a warm current flowed, repairing damaged tendons and vessels, helping his body recover swiftly.

He was so excited he almost couldn’t speak. “It worked, Miss Jiang! I’ve done it!”

“Done what?” Jiang Ru Xue was still puzzled.

“My spiritual veins—finally awakened! I wasn’t mistaken. It was you, you awakened them.”

Lu Fan was overwhelmed with joy, but Jiang Ru Xue felt a rising anxiety.

Only those with spiritual veins could cultivate. A high-level martial artist could face a hundred men barehanded.

In this country, high-level martial artists and alchemists were equally rare and precious. They were fiercely sought after by sects and highly paid by the powerful elite.

Like that elusive martial artist beside Master Qin San, who came and went without a trace and whose whereabouts were unknown even to ordinary people.

By the time they discovered him, your life was already over.

Lu Fan’s spirit mark was so extraordinary. Coupled with his reputation as a divine healer, he was clearly no ordinary beginner martial artist.

He had never matched her before, and now that he was becoming a martial artist, the gap between them would only widen!

Biting her lip, Jiang Ru Xue felt both happy for his awakening and overwhelmed by her own inferiority.

After their divorce, the man she had once looked down upon had become someone she could no longer reach.

As the white light traced halfway through the totem, Lu Fan’s body was bathed in its glow.

He seemed to be washed clean by pure water, all impurities and dirt vanishing in that moment.

Lin Ziyu sensed it too and burst in.

She immediately saw Lu Fan immersed in light and her eyes lit up with excitement. “Junior apprentice brother, sit cross-legged and regulate your breath!”

No ordinary person’s spiritual veins would behave like this. Lu Fan clearly possessed a rare innate sacred body.

Could he be the legendary supreme immortal vein?

Even in the era a thousand years ago, when spiritual energy flourished and everyone cultivated immortality, immortal veins were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns! Let alone now, when spiritual energy was fading.

Lin Ziyu was thrilled, lowering her voice in excitement: “Junior apprentice brother, draw the energy out of your body. Let me see your spirit companion beast!”

If he had a spirit companion beast, then he truly was the legendary immortal vein!

Jiang Ru Xue did not understand these cultivation mysteries, but hearing this, she felt a spark of excitement.

Lu Fan sat cross-legged, already familiar with the cultivation methods. Before, his spiritual veins had been dormant, so he could not practice. Now, he held his breath and focused, feeling the power repairing his internal organs.

He quickly learned to control it. He wondered if this power could heal others besides himself.

Guided by his will, a faint silver light flickered at his brow.

Though indoors, a breeze seemed to rise, lifting his hair as his body slowly floated into the air.

Had she not seen it with her own eyes, Jiang Ru Xue would have thought she was dreaming.

Lu Fan sat cross-legged, suspended in midair, radiating an aura as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Her ex-husband was as sublime as a celestial being!

In the next moment, Lu Fan’s eyes snapped open. A flash of light erupted as a brilliant white glow burst from his brow.

The dazzling light converged, slowly forming a shape.

Lin Ziyu was so excited she could barely speak, “Spirit… spirit companion beast! Junior apprentice brother, you’re not useless—you’re an absolute prodigy!!!”
