Chapter 618: Chapter 285: Yellow Turban Strongman_4

Under these circumstances, how could Lu Yuan dare, and how could he risk being dragged into the quagmire of war, unable to extricate himself, and go to fight Hui Chuan?

If he were indeed entangled in this battle, and other countries saw an opportunity to come together, then Chu would truly be finished.

Thus, Lu Yuan cannot be delayed.

This veteran military god is Chu State’s greatest external deterrent.

As long as Lu Yuan still exists and can act, other nations will be wary of plotting against Chu and won’t dare to take rash actions.

As long as everyone is intimidated, no one will be the bird to stick his head out.

Chu State can then rely on this very deterrence to maintain the current peace and gradually pass through the initial weakness of the founding period.

After ten or twenty years, Sun Siwen and his eldest son, Lu He, will have grown up, and by then, a single country with five innate powers can naturally face any threat without fear.

But that’s all in the future.

Lu Yuan, at this moment, cannot be held up in Qianzhong County or the southwestern Yi people.

He must maintain a state of readiness for instant mobilization so as to preserve his strong deterrence and intimidate those enemies who covet Chu State.

“However, now, if we can add an Innate Second Realm Yellow Turban Strongman, it will provide Chu State with another pillar of strength. Then, I will be able to free myself and do what I want to do.”

When Lu Yuan thought of this, he urged the prepared supplies and orders, his gaze deep.

To refine a Yellow Turban Strongman, spiritual objects are needed.

In this world, besides the Immortal Sects with Cave Worlds, the only other place to search for spiritual objects is within the Divine Blood Variants.

Luckily, over the years, Chu State has collected many Divine Blood Variants, many of which have been slaughtered and their spiritual blood used for refining pills.

But after the spiritual blood was extracted, the remains of these Divine Blood Variants were left behind, which are barely considered spiritual materials.

Although it is unknown if they meet the requirements, even the worst ones should still be able to barely refine an Innate Yellow Turban Strongman.

Even if the quality isn’t good enough for the second realm’s strength, having the strength of an ordinary first realm is still excellent.

One more innate combat power can alleviate Chu State’s current predicament of not having enough top-level combat power.

With such thoughts, Lu Yuan summoned an Inner Attendant and handed over the order, ordering it to be sent quickly to Chu State.

Nearly seven remains of Divine Blood Variants, left after they were slaughtered, have been relocated to the current capital city of Baling, where most of the spiritual materials collected over the years were stored.

In addition, the eleven top sects within Chu State’s territory have also accepted Chu State’s administration and promised to contribute some Divine Blood annually. They have also accumulated some remains of Divine Blood Variants over the years, which should be similar in number to those collected by Chu State.

Combining these two sources should be enough to refine a Yellow Turban Strongman.

But now, the Queen and Minister must communicate with those top sects, telling them to contribute their remains.

After the collection is complete, they will be escorted here.

Lu Yuan can’t leave Qianzhong County now, as someone needs to keep an eye on the situation here at all times.

Otherwise, once he leaves, it’s hard to imagine the chaos the disgruntled Yi people in the Great Changhe and local counties will create.

Refining a Yellow Turban Strongman will have to be done here.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan is not in a hurry to refine the Strongman and can wait for the materials to be sent from the country.

He had just condensed Qi, and his cultivation is not yet stable; it would take two or three months to slowly master the added power.

During this period of stabilizing his cultivation, he could be waiting for the spiritual materials to arrive.

Two or three months should be enough for the country to coordinate with the top sects, exchange interests, and obtain the remains of the Variants.

That’s the plan.

After breaking through and condensing Qi, Lu Yuan did not make a big fuss about it nor celebrate grandly.

Instead, he kept a low profile, as usual, staying inside the palace.

He spent his time dealing with government affairs and slowly stabilizing his cultivation, accumulating his strength.

With the passage of these quiet days, another year passed, and it was now the sixth year of Shenwu.
