Chapter 272: Chapter 264 Selfishness

The birthday party ended, and after seeing off the guests and changing out of her formal attire, Lu Yun found Shitou already waiting for her on the sofa in her room when she returned from a comfortable bubble bath.

"So tired."

Lu Yun, wearing a bathrobe with her hair still dripping wet, walked out and couldn’t help but complain upon seeing Shitou, "Why do I feel more exhausted than after concocting elixirs for three days and nights?"

"It’s not as exaggerated as you say, it’s just that you don’t enjoy it, so it feels hard to endure," Shitou naturally picked up a dry towel to dry her hair.

"Sigh, anyway, I hope there will be fewer such parties in the future." Lu Yun sat down and found a comfortable position, letting Shitou massage her scalp through the towel as he dried her hair.

"It’s not a big deal, if you don’t like it we’ll just attend fewer of them next time," Shitou said indifferently.

"Yeah, I really don’t like it," Lu Yun nodded, "How did it turn out in the end?"

After the party, Lu Aiguo and Lu Aibing had a discussion, and finally decided that besides Lu Jinhao and his wife, who were too old to keep waiting, they would test the Psychic Power Talent of the rest of the family first.

By the time the summer vacation starts in July next year, they plan to bring everyone with Psychic Power Talent, as well as those chosen to train in Physical Art or those voluntarily willing to cultivate it, to Capital City. They would begin their training while taking Medicinal Bath Elixirs.

Of course, they won’t go into detail with everyone about either the present spiritual power tests or the Medicinal Bath Elixirs starting in July; at most, they’ll just be told that the medicinal baths strengthen the body when the time comes.

By then, with the luminous example of Lu Aiguo and his wife reversing the aging process, they believe that even if the medicinal bath is somewhat painful, everyone might still endure it.

Those who truly can’t endure the pain would ultimately not go far in their cultivation journey, even if they have high Psychic Power Talent.

As for the others who are not into cultivation, there’s no rush. They can simply wait until Physical Art and Psychic Power start to be promoted and the Medicinal Bath Elixirs are no longer top secret. After all, everyone is young; a quick five to six years or a slow dozen years is manageable.

As for the other in-laws of the Lu Family who were also of a similar age, Lu Aibing and the others tacitly did not bring up the matter of taking Medicinal Bath Elixirs in advance. If they were to expand on that, there would be no end to it.

Even in the future, if they wish to use the Medicinal Bath Elixirs, it will not be possible to provide it to them for free; they will have to pay for it. The best the Lu Family could do is ensure that they can buy a certain quantity of Elixirs at a price that is more favorable than others.

Lu Yun had gone upstairs when they began testing everyone’s psychic power, so she was unaware of the final results, which was why she asked.

"Psychic Power Talent really is rare. Among the adults, only your second aunt is a D-grade talent, and among the kids, only Xie Wan, Lu Jinhao, and Lu Qing are D-grade, A-grade, and B-grade respectively," Shitou remarked.

The second aunt Shitou mentioned was Zhang Cai, and Xie Wan is Lu Aimei’s twelve-year-old second daughter. Lu Jinhao and Lu Qing are Zhang Cai and Lu Aibing’s eight-year-old second son and youngest daughter, respectively.

"Is the probability really that low?" Lu Yun was startled.

"Yes," Shitou said with a wry smile, "but thankfully, Jinhao and Qing have excellent talents."

"Since Jinhao and Qing have this talent, they can follow in my footsteps and learn elixir-making if they’re willing. As for Jinsheng, cultivating the Physical Art could be a good path for him as well," she added.

Remembering Jinsheng and Jinhao from her previous life, Lu Yun couldn’t help but smile. Jinsheng might not have been as smart as Jinhao, but his determination and patience far exceeded Jinhao’s.

So in this life, she believed that even if Jinko didn’t possess Psychic Power Talent, he could still achieve high accomplishments on the path of Physical Art cultivation.

"As long as they are willing to cultivate and can endure the hardship, we have no reason not to let them cultivate. The grandfathers and fathers will ask for their opinions one by one, so we don’t need to interfere too much."

Shitou noticed the towel was getting a bit wet, so he stopped his motion, stood up, and went into the bathroom to toss the towel into the dirty laundry basket. He then opened the drawer designated for towels, took out a clean one, and continued to help Lu Yun dry her hair.

As they chatted, Lu Yun’s hair gradually dried without notice until Shitou finally left to allow her to change clothes. Lu Yun was quick, she changed her clothes and carelessly tied her hair into a ponytail before heading downstairs.

Downstairs, the Pei Family members had already left ahead of them. The living room had already been tidied up, and besides the children, who had been sent to bed, most of the other people were still sitting on the sofa, chatting.

Tonight, besides Lu Yun and Shitou, everyone was going to the Pei Family’s place.

Lu Yun’s second uncle, his wife, as well as Lu Aiguo, Xia Yuan, Lu Jinsheng, and the others were going to stay at the villa and send off everyone else early the next morning, except for Lu Yun’s eldest uncle and his wife, who would catch their return flight.

The time together was fleeting, and everyone felt like they had endless topics to discuss.

After greeting the elders, Lu Yun followed Shitou to prepare to leave. Before they left, she suddenly remembered something and quietly pulled Xia Na aside to a corner.

Lu Yun created a Psychic Power Barrier around herself and her aunt, "Aunt, could you, Uncle, and my two cousins come back to Capital City again this summer?"

"Your grandfather and father have already asked us about this. Your mother even took the trouble to persuade me. However, when the time comes, we’ll just send your two cousins. They are young and it’ll be useful for them to learn martial arts."

Xia Na smiled and shook her head, "As for me and your Uncle, let’s forget it. We are both getting on in years, with old arms and legs. What’s the point of learning that now?"

"Auntie, this is a secret and Mom can’t be too explicit about it, but please listen to me this time. Come with Uncle, it’s only going to be hugely beneficial. You don’t even have to stay long, just three months, and after that, you can go back to S City as you please."

Seeing Xia Na still reluctant, Lu Yun became anxious and couldn’t help but reveal a bit more, "Auntie, do you know why my grandparents suddenly look so much younger?"

Xia Na noticed the urgency and seriousness in Lu Yun’s expression and immediately thought of how disappointed her sister had looked when she initially refused.

Xia Na was no fool and quickly guessed that there must be important matters at hand. She became earnest, "Why?"

"My grandparents used a Medicinal Bath Elixir. It not only strengthens the body but also prolongs life... Auntie, this is still a secret and not time to promote it widely. Don’t tell Uncle or my cousins yet. Just know that Mom and I mean well for you. You’ll understand once you’re here, and although it might be painful at the time, the benefits will absolutely exceed your expectations."

Lu Yun looked deeply into Xia Na’s eyes, and seeing her serious demeanor, felt relieved.

Everyone tends to have personal biases, and for her, Auntie’s family had a special place, ranking ahead of the other Lu Family members except her parents, Shitou, and Jinsheng.

"Don’t worry, I’ll talk to your Uncle about it. After all, one cannot have too many skills, and we should learn new things as long as we live." Since her niece said it was a secret, she refrained from asking further. Now that she knew there were benefits, there was no reason for her to back down, right?

So the Medicinal Bath Elixir was painful to use?

Well, it seemed that they would need to come together to make sure the two lads didn’t give up easily because of the
