"Okay, you did a great job."
Lu Yuan took the jade box and opened the lid. He saw a layer of soft brocade handkerchief inside, separated by wooden grids, and six jade bottles were placed on it.
Except for the jade bottle on the far right which contains two pill pills, the shadows of three pill pills can be seen in each of the other jade bottles.
There are a total of seventeen Water Purification Mysterious Pills, which is a bit small.
This is because when the incident broke out, Qiao Xiuyuan gave Xuandan to many disciples in the sect who were on the verge of breaking through to the second level, adding masters to the sect.
This made him very sad.
After thinking about it, Lu Yuan picked up a jade bottle and threw it into Zhou Qing's hand: "You are only two serious sutras and one extraordinary sutra away from breaking through to the first level. The three water purification black pills here are just enough for you to use."
"Thank you, Master."
Zhou Qing took the jade bottle with a hint of joy on his face.
With these three mysterious pills, it won't take long for him to break through to the top level.
And after breaking through to the top level...
Zhou Qing thought of his revenge for exterminating his family, and a trace of gloom and murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Although Guan Yunfei, who had killed his entire family, was killed by his master on the day of the murder.
But although the enemy is dead, the sect that cultivated this enemy and brewed this disaster still exists in the world.
Thinking of his father who died tragically, his wife who died tragically, and the child in her belly, Zhou Qing could not help but feel the murderous intent surge in his heart.
Everything about him was destroyed that day.
So for Guan Yunfei who caused all this, he wanted to destroy everything related to him, so that he could relieve the hatred in his heart.
Now after ten years of waiting, I can finally get my revenge.
When he thought of this, Zhou Qing's breathing quickened.
"Xiaoqing, don't be impatient yet."
Lu Yuan was keenly aware that something was wrong with his disciple, and after looking at his face, he couldn't tell what the other person was thinking. At this time, he said: "If you want revenge, I will not object as a teacher.
But with your current strength, even if you break through the first-class level, you are no match for the Iron Sword Sect by yourself.
You still need to be patient now. "
In the past two years, the Iron Sword Sect had always been Lu Yuan's key target, always thinking of going to the other side's sect to snatch the Iron Sword swordsmanship.
Therefore, he has always paid close attention to the news about Iron Sword Sect.
Therefore, it didn't take long to receive the news that the current sect leader Zhang Qingsheng of the Iron Sword Sect, who was appointed by a collateral branch three years ago, had become one of the best in the world.
Needless to say, he was able to successfully break through to the top level even after losing the Qi-Building Heart Sutra.
The leader of the Zhang clan, who rose to power through rebellion, naturally found the inherited treasure of the Iron Sword Sect and obtained the backup technique of the Qi-Building Heart Sutra, which allowed him to break through to the first-class realm.
Thinking again about the cultivation methods of the Heart Sutra of Buxing Qi, which contains four extraordinary sutras, and the Zhang sect leader is already over fifty years old, it is very likely that the other party has taken the divine blood elixir in the sect's treasure to cultivate his internal strength. In order to break through the four extraordinary sutras.
Plus the iron sword swordsmanship.
Zhang Qingshan, who has completed the complete Iron Sword Sect inheritance technique, is among the best in strength and can definitely be considered a relatively strong one.
At least the dead Qiao Xiuyuan should be inferior to Zhang Qingshan.
And even if Zhou Qing breaks through to the top level, with his ability to master just one meridian, how can he be his opponent?
If you include the more than 20 second-rate masters and over a thousand disciples of the Iron Sword Sect, even Lu Yuan's current strength would not dare to force his way through.
So when Zhou Qing went to take revenge, he was just looking for death.
"Disciple knows."
After hearing his master's persuasion, Zhou Qing suppressed the hatred in his heart and said solemnly: "Until I have sufficient strength, my disciple will never seek revenge from the Iron Sword Sect."
Lu Yuan nodded: "I'm very pleased that you can figure this out. With your current cultivation progress, as long as you improve your mental state, there will be no shortage of divine blood pills on my side, and it will not be difficult to reach the top of the world.
As long as you wait another ten years, no, even five or six years, you can rely on your own strength and go for revenge.
Now wait. "
Zhou Qing saluted: "Disciple, obey your orders."
…
After appeasing Zhou Qing, Lu Yuan became a little busy for the rest of the day.
After receiving his message, Sun Siwen quickly rushed over from Pingyang County in the rear, entered the city, and began to comfort the people in the city and restore people's livelihood.
Although he had only been in office for more than a month, Sun Siwen had recruited a large number of disciples and students through letters in this short period of time, as well as making old acquaintances.
In just one month, more than a hundred scribes came to Luyang Mansion, nearly half of them were from Changning County.
As before, Lu Yuan, after a little examination of the scribes recommended by Sun Siwen, confirmed that there were no problems, he readily appointed these people to temporarily handle local affairs in the name of General Fenwu.
The reason why we don't formally accept our fate is because we have no choice.
Now the county government has been taken over, the county town has been captured by the Five Poison Sect, and the county guard is dead.
Even if Lu Yuan wanted to recommend officials to the county government, he had no way.
Therefore, he could only send the letters recommending the appointment of officials along with the successful report of the victory over Luyang City to the court in Jinling City, and directly asked the Ministry of Officials to approve them.
Just going from Luyang to Jinling, a two thousand mile journey, back and forth, would take a month at the fastest, and we would have to wait for a while longer before getting a reply.
But even if there is no reply, with Lu Yuan's current strength and position, in the land of Luyang, his words cannot be two, and his words are the biggest legal symbol.
As long as Lu Yuan endorses it, even if those scribes are not officially appointed by the court, if he says they are officials, then they are officials.
If anyone disagrees, just ask about his first-class strength and the tens of thousands of troops under his command.
It has to be said that Lu Yuan's warlord attitude is getting stronger and stronger now.
But he didn't resist this change, and actually enjoyed it.
With more than a hundred civil servants filling up, the official vacancies in Luyang Prefecture and ten counties were filled in an instant.
With the efforts of these officials, especially Lu Yuan's willingness to spend money, Luyang, which had been devastated by the war, began to slowly regain its vitality.
The originally perfect refugees began to return to their places, working hard to replant spring seeds and work hard for a year's livelihood.
Many business travelers from other places, under the Luyang Mansion's revitalization plan, swarmed in like sharks that smelled something fishy, making the business here prosperous.
Everything was just like in Wugang County before. Based on his past experience, Sun Siwen began to restore vitality in this painful land.
Friends are busy resuming production, and Lu Yuan is also in the military camp, continuing the reorganization of county soldiers and militia.
It took more than a month to set up the framework for the two thousand prefecture and county soldiers. As for the required patrols, inspections, county lieutenants, commanders, etc., he also selected some meritorious officers and soldiers in the army and his own names. Disciples serve.
These confidants will control the prefecture and county soldiers, and then control the local militia through the prefecture and county soldiers.
With only one armed force there, it is enough to ensure that Luyang Mansion will be named Lu in the future.
And when Luyang Prefecture's economy and people's livelihood recovers, and the local prefecture and county militia system is also improved, then when Lu Yuan needs it, this place will be a base that can continuously provide him with money, food and troops.
Although more than ten years have passed now, he has become a first-class master in the world, and has tens of thousands of troops at his disposal. He can be regarded as successful.
But Lu Yuan has not forgotten the ambition he had in mind when he first traveled through time.
As a time traveler, and with such force and conditions, if I don't look forward to the Ninth Five-Year Supreme when I have the opportunity, wouldn't it be a waste of time?
Which man has not imagined that he could expand his territory, expand his territory, conquer all directions, and be the vassal of the world.
What man has not thought about three palaces and six courtyards, three thousand beauties, large-scale construction projects, wine ponds and meat forests, and being a happy and foolish king.
Lu Yuan felt that with Dai Viet looking like he was about to die at any moment, and with his current strength, the position of emperor was not something he couldn't look forward to.
So regardless of whether we want to dominate the world in the future, it is always right to make some advance preparations at this time.
Anyway, it's just a few hundred thousand taels of silver and an insignificant official position. It doesn’t matter if this investment is in vain.
To him, it was nothing.
While reorganizing the county soldiers, Lu Yuan was also training his disciples.
Well, it's not Zhou Qing, but those registered disciples.
Lu Yuan obtained a total of twenty-six Pure Water Mysterious Pills from the Seven Star Gate this time.
Of the twenty-six pills, he took five himself, gave six to Zhou Qing, and now has fifteen pills left.
These elixirs would not be of much use if they were left in Lu Yuan.
His next step in training is to find innate skills or find a way to break through innate skills. There is no need to increase his internal strength anymore.
Therefore, if you keep these things that are of no use to you and let them grow gray at home, you might as well give them to your disciples to improve their cultivation strength so that the disciples can do better things for you.
However, there are only fifteen Pills left in total, so the quantity is limited.
As for Lu Yuan's registered disciples, after continuous increase over the years, there are already forty-one.
On average, it takes almost three disciples to share one pill.
Of course he can't really distribute it evenly.
That would have little effect and would not achieve the purpose of cultivating disciples at all.
Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to simply survive the fittest and distribute it among the disciples who made the greatest contributions according to their merits.
As a result, seven of the forty-one named disciples were finally rewarded with spiritual pills. The amount each received ranged from one pill to three pills, depending on their merit.
Don't even say it.
This method of distribution according to contribution is quite effective.
Because those who can achieve great achievements are basically strong and capable people. Among Lu Yuan's disciples, these people are among the top in cultivation.
After these batches of spiritual pills were rewarded, three second-rate masters suddenly emerged among the seven disciples. The remaining four have also reached the level of mastering four or five serious disciplines, and are not far away from breaking through to the second rate.
The emergence of this group of masters greatly alleviated Lu Yuan's dilemma of insufficient combat power at the top level.
He finally didn't have to leave everything to Zhou Qing and treat this disciple like a donkey.
Counting Zhou Qing, Lu Yuan already had four second-rate disciples, and the rest were all third-rate disciples.
With such strength, if he goes out to the world alone, although he cannot compare with those old first-class sects, he can barely set up the airs of a first-class sect.
But Lu Yuan's strength does not only include himself and his disciples, but also the tens of thousands of troops under his command.
Looking at it this way, it is better than the first-class sect, I don’t know how much.
Only the Xiantian Sect can compete with him and even gain the upper hand with the top combat power of the Xiantian Grandmaster.
The entire fifth year of Hongdao, April, passed in such a fulfilling life.
…
It's early May.
On the third day of junior high school, Zhou Qing found Lu Yuan with excitement on his face.
"Master, I have mastered the Yang Qi Meridian and have reached the first level."
This disciple looked at his master, stretched out his hand, and mobilized the inner strength in his body. Suddenly his palm turned red. This is an image that will only be manifested after the Chiyang Divine Art is completed.
The achievement of Chi Yang's magical power means that the warrior has entered the first-class realm.
"Very good, not bad."
Lu Yuan looked at the disciple who was begging for praise, and happily satisfied the other's needs, praising him again and again.
It only takes ten years to reach the first-class level. Zhou Qing's cultivation speed is no less than his.
After all, Lu Yuan himself had practiced martial arts for ten years before breaking through to the top level.
Don't worry about the two masters and apprentices, whether their breakthrough to the first level depends on the divine blood elixir. The state of mind to control this power, and this first-class strength, are real.
Putting it on the world, everyone would praise these two for their genius.
After praising his disciple, Lu Yuan began to check his disciple's practice, asked some questions, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the disciple's state of mind, he felt a little at ease.
His original estimate was correct. The limit of Zhou Qing's current state of mind was the first-class state of having mastered a strange sutra.
He is just able to control this level of cultivation now, but if he improves it by a few points, there may be problems.
Therefore, Lu Yuan had to remind him again that he, his precious disciple, should not continue to practice the next strange sutra for the time being, but instead use his time to consolidate his current strength and practice external skills.
At the same time, he assigned some homework, mainly reading a few Taoist scriptures, and asked Zhou Qing to study them carefully after returning.
These Taoist scriptures were all studied intensively by Lu Yuan when he first broke through to the first level, and he gained a lot from them.
At this time, the master's experience can be passed on to the disciple, so that the other party can avoid some detours.
After finishing his lesson, Lu Yuan looked at his disciples who had slowly calmed down. Thinking of the urgent letters he had received in the past two days, he pondered for a moment, then took a letter from his desk and sent it to Zhou Qing.
"Qing'er, now that you have reached the first-class level, you can now shoulder more of the burden as a teacher.
In the past two days, my master has received several urgent letters from Magistrate Cui, saying that the Miao people of the Five Poison Sect have been attacking in a hurry for days.
After two months, three counties of Shaoyang Prefecture had been destroyed, with tens of thousands of soldiers lost. Now that the Miao army is approaching Hengyang and the city is in danger, Mr. Cui asked me to send troops to return reinforcements as soon as possible. "
Lu Yuan explained the specific situation, and then said: "I have something to do in the next two months, and I need to go to Yuzhang County. I have no time to rescue Hengyang for the time being.
Originally I was still hesitant on how to handle this matter.
After all, the leader of the Five Poisons, Lan Zhaoyun, is said to be a top-notch master, with strength no less than that of his master. Without a top-notch expert to deal with it, it would be difficult to restore the situation in Hengyang.
There is no need to worry now.
You have broken through the ranks and are capable of taking charge on your own.
I want you to lead 10,000 troops back to Hengyang Fucheng.
There is no need for you to repel those Miao rebels, you just need to hold on to Hengyang City and prevent it from falling.
As long as you can hold on for three to five months, when the division comes back from Yuzhang County, I will lead troops to help.
Are you willing to go? "
It is now May, and early July is the time Lu Yuan and Taoist Qi Yun agreed to set off to attend the Tianluo Grand Meeting together.
This event is extremely important to Lu Yuan. Under his current conditions, it may be the only channel through which he can gain access to immortality.
I missed it this time. I want to participate again next time, but it will be ten years later.
Although Lu Yuan couldn't afford to wait ten years.
But if you can come into contact with cultivating immortals now, why should you wait ten years?
He still remembers what Qi Yun and Feng Zhijie mentioned, that the fairy spirit in the world is getting less and less, and it is losing one point every year.
From this point of view.
The later Lu Yuan becomes an immortal, the less immortal energy he can absorb when he becomes an immortal.
The longer you delay, the more you will suffer.
When it comes to cultivating immortality, as long as life safety is not affected, Lu Yuan feels that it is better to fight if you can and don't miss the opportunity.
So this time when faced with Magistrate Cui's request for help, he could only let Zhou Qing go, while he went to participate in the Tianluo event.
"Disciple is willing."
Zhou Qing was still the filial child. Faced with the master's request, he didn't refuse at all and directly agreed.
Even if what he has to face here is a top-notch martial arts master and an army of hundreds of thousands.
"Very good, Xiaoqing, you did not disappoint Master."
Lu Yuan was very satisfied with his disciple's filial piety. However, he still warned: "When you go to Hengyang, you must remember the teachings of the teacher. You must be careful every day and beware of assassination by the masters of the Five Poison Sect.
On weekdays, if not necessary, live in the military camp as much as possible and be protected by the army.
As long as there is a large army accompanying you, even if you are an innate master, as long as you are cautious and do not confront the opponent directly, your life will be safe.
And rest at night, just like a teacher, randomly pick a secret place and don't let outsiders know, so that you can avoid assassination. "
Zhou Qing nodded repeatedly and said with deep understanding: "Disciple understands and will be careful to guard against assassination by thieves."
As a true disciple of Lu Yuan, Zhou Qing also knows the importance of stability. At this time, he naturally does not think that his master's teachings are too timid and fearful, but he learns them as a rule of life.
"Okay, as long as you can remember these, you don't have to worry too much as a teacher." Lu Yuan glanced at his disciple with relief, and felt more and more that the other person was really his most suitable successor.
Zhou Qing was arranged to rescue Shaoyang Fucheng. After receiving the order, this disciple acted quickly.
When you get back, take Lu Yuan's tiger talisman and prepare troops and horses in the camp. At the same time, he went to find Sun Siwen and asked his master's friend to help recruit civilians and prepare military rations.
After being busy for several days, I finally got everything ready.
Then on the tenth day of the lunar month, Lu Yuan personally ordered the general to beat the drum and send his disciple off to the battle.
The army is vast and the flags are flying. Zhou Qing leads the army and embarks on his own journey.
