“No wonder the path of Qi Luck has such a large trade off, losing so much lifespan, yet so many people still engage in its cultivation. Aside from anything else, the speed of cultivation progress alone is worth the life lost.”

Lu Yuan’s understanding of the Qi Luck is similar to a time accelerator.

Your life is accelerated compared to others at the same moment. So during this acceleration, your cultivation progress is stronger than others, but equally, your lifespan is used up faster.

Therefore, for a cultivator, cultivation of Qi Luck is tantamount to shortening a task that would normally take hundreds of years to just a few years.

As for the pros and cons, it depends on individual needs.

As far as Lu Yuan is concerned, he quite likes this type of acceleration method.

After practicing for a day and a night, and accumulating enough mana to perform one-sixth of a spell, he ended the cultivation as the new day came.

Then he practiced his sword technique, ate breakfast, and read for a while before Zhou Qing arrived.

As planned yesterday, for the next three days, Lu Yuan needs to purify Zhou Qing’s Inner Strength with the Immortal Spirit Energy.

Today is the first day.

Purifying the Inner Strength is not difficult; for Lu Yuan, it simply involves using his Divine Sense to manage the Immortal Spirit Energy from the jade piece and then directly introducing it into Zhou Qing’s body.

The Immortal Spirit Energy will naturally enhance and slowly improve the constitution of Zhou Qing’s body and enhance his spiritual consciousness and Inner Strength.

The only thing to be careful of is that sudden influx of too much Immortal Spirit Energy might cause Zhou Qing to experience a physical disruption. Therefore, someone needs to watch over him and adjust the process in time.

And this is what Lu Yuan is here to do.

An hour passes quickly.

Inside the tent, Lu Yuan put away his jade pendant, then turned to his disciple, asking: “Xiaoqing, how do you feel?”

Zhou Qing opened his eyes with a comfortable expression on his face: “Very comfortable. It feels like I am floating, as if I’ve lost several pounds.”

Lu Yuan smiled and said: “This is a normal reaction. There are too many impurities in the human body. Therefore, when the Immortal Spirit Energy enters the body, it neutralizes and expels these impurities, cleansing the body.

Once you have digested this Immortal Spirit Energy and expelled the impurities in your body, this feeling will recede.

By that time, your Inner Strength and spiritual consciousness will also have increased.”

Zhou Qing nodded, then rose to his feet and bowed to Lu Yuan: “Master, on behalf of your disciple, I am eternally indebted to you for passing on this method to me. I will never forget what you have done in this lifetime.”

Lu Yuan helped him up: “Alright, I’ve already told you, don’t mention these things. Right now, the Immortal Spirit Energy is still digesting, you should go back and practice restraint, and refine it.”

Zhou Qing answered: “Yes, Master.”

Then, this eldest disciple got up and left the tent.

After Zhou Qing left, Lu Yuan continued to practice the Taiping Dao Book, accumulating his own mana.

Apart from eating lunch, the rest of the time was spent on cultivation.

Despite being an immortal, Lu Yuan was still strict and frugal with his time management, wasting no time.

Especially now that the Heavenly and Earthly Aura was thinning, and its stock was depleting day by day. Every time a cultivator absorbed a portion of Immortal Spirit Energy, he was sucking the aura from the world.

Therefore, for Lu Yuan, the more Immortal Spirit Energy he occupied and the more mana he refined, the more he felt like he was gaining for himself.

After all, the more Immortal Spirit Energy he absorbs and refines into mana, the less there is for others.

This urgency of time, every minute and second frantic, day and night catching up.

It has to be said, it’s very exhilarating.

He indulged in this feeling that cultivation makes me happy, becoming somewhat addicted.

However, by the afternoon, this joy of cultivation, Lu Yuan had to put a pause.

Not because he was tired, but mainly because Bai Mengyang sent someone, inviting him to participate in a military conference.

With official business at hand, Lu Yuan had to set aside his cultivation, tidy up his clothing, and then rush to attend the meeting.

Arriving at the Central Army’s big tent, upon entering, he found that almost all the people were already assembled.

Seeing him arrive, the first thing Marquis of Wuan Bai Mengyang said was: “King of Changsha, we have received responses from Saint Monk Jihui and Qiao Family Head. After consulting with each other, they agreed to accept your proposed exchange, to trade away the seats of three regional governments: Yuzhong, Linjiang, and Wushan.

However, there’s a precondition – you need to first conquer the three prefectures of Hanzhong County and defend them. Only then can the exchange take place when they form their own countries.

If by the time they form their countries and you have not held on to Hanzhong’s three prefectures, the agreement will be null and void.

King of Changsha, what do you think?”

Inside the tent, Bai Mengyang took out two reply letters, gave them a shake, and then asked Lu Yuan in a deep voice.
