After having a heart-to-heart talk with Mo Li and confirming that there was no safe way out for Bei Mingyou Capital, Lu Yuan let go of the last big stone in his heart.
After that, he discussed the Tao with Feishuang Taoist several times and exchanged Taoist experiences with each other, and he felt that he had gained a lot.
If one follows the traditional path of cultivating immortality or fantasy, then both of them should have an epiphany at this time, and then have a realm breakthrough, and their cultivation level will increase greatly.
pity.
Now is the age of the end of the Dharma. Without the spiritual energy that is the root of the immortal way, no matter how many insights the two of them have, no matter how high their realm is, they will not be able to jump up. They can only waste their cultivation at this time.
And this made Mo Li Feisheng even more determined.
So after meeting with Lu Yuan several times and reconfirming Feishuang Dao's cooperation with the Chu State, Feishuang Dao Master stood up to say goodbye, left Baling, and rushed to Tianshou Mountain, the sect's new headquarters.
After Lu Yuan sent Mo Li away, he was not idle and began to teach his five true disciples.
Ever since they learned that their master and king planned to train themselves and others, Chu Wei and Li Liang were all excited and happy.
As a warrior, who doesn't want to have a glimpse of the supreme innate realm?
Becoming an innate master not only means powerful power, but also the power that comes with power, and a lifespan that is fifty years longer than ordinary people.
All the above benefits have led to the title of innate master and land god.
Because compared to ordinary people, innate masters are indeed more like another species, and gradually become a bit like gods.
This is also true.
Compared with ordinary people, the innate master has completed a transformation of body and soul. In terms of the essence of life, he has broken away from the concept of mortals and is in the process of transformation from human to god.
Such a person, of course, cannot be called a mortal.
And in this age of Dharma-ending, where immortals and gods do not appear, and one is ignorant and fearless, it is not a bad idea to be called a land immortal.
It is precisely because they fully understand the significance of the Innate Grandmaster that Chu Wei and the others cherish this rare opportunity.
In the past, they did not dare to hope for an innate grandmaster. That was because they knew how much resources would be consumed and how high the price would be if they wanted to cultivate an innate grandmaster.
These resource costs can sometimes even wipe out the wealth of a great congenital sect, or exhaust the treasury of a small country.
Although these people are the best among Lu Yuan's disciples and have made a lot of contributions to the motherland in the past, it is obviously overthinking to ask their master to pay such a price.
Therefore, although they were unwilling to regret in their hearts, they did not think too much about it.
But at this moment, a huge opportunity presented itself, and if he didn't seize it, he would definitely regret it for the rest of his life, and he would never settle down until death.
So after receiving Lu Yuan's support, they immediately began to adjust their mentality, polish their martial arts, and began to return to their previous peak step by step.
The process went smoothly.
The five people already have the realm, but they are just busy with government and military affairs, and they are a little neglectful.
Now that I have a goal and know how to work hard, it is actually very simple to return to my peak.
Even among the five people, Chu Wei, who had the highest martial arts talent, restored his martial arts to its peak state in less than half a month.
Then, under the guidance of Lu Yuan, he began to learn about innate transformation and went deeper into refining his body and soul.
After more than ten days of enlightenment, Chu Wei has made initial gains. At this time, he even plans to start the transformation of his body and officially enter the path of innateness.
This step is quite important. It can even be said to be the beginning of innateness and the foundation of the great road, so we must be cautious.
Therefore, after Lu Yuan got the news, he had to take time out to protect his disciple.
Chu Wei's body and soul transformation was different from that of Zhou Qing, Sun Siwen and others. Lu Yuan directly used immortal methods to mobilize spiritual energy and refine his foundation.
With the support of spiritual energy and immortal magic, it is actually very simple to help a few mortals undergo transformation without too many risks.
So during those few times, Lu Yuan was quite confident and had nothing to worry about.
But the way these disciples broke through the innate world was the mainstream of today's orthodoxy, relying on taking the divine blood elixir and relying on the alien bloodline spiritual power in the elixir step by step to complete the transformation of body and soul.
It is not that simple and easy to use a mortal body to accommodate alien bloodlines and then draw spiritual power from the bloodlines.
The whole process can be said to be extremely difficult and complicated.
First, the warrior needs to suppress the alien bloodline so that it will not riot in the body, and then use the powerful activity of the alien bloodline to stimulate and temper his own bloodline, and promote the transformation of his own bloodline through huge external pressure.
When the transformation of the bloodline begins, then absorb the spiritual energy from the alien bloodline to nourish the transformed bloodline, thereby strengthening and stabilizing it as the innate source.
After that, the process is repeated, taking the elixir, mobilizing the alien bloodline to temper one's own bloodline, and absorbing the nutrients from the alien bloodline for the growth and transformation of one's own bloodline.
After one's own bloodline has grown and transformed to the limit, relying on the support of the physical body's blood and energy, the warrior's spirit will naturally grow and grow in the process.
When you grow to a certain level, you will realize the true meaning of your own martial arts, and use the true meaning of martial arts as a guide to influence your entire soul to transform.
After the transformation of the physical body and soul is completed, the innate realm of martial arts will naturally be achieved.
The above is the innate path taken by traditional warriors in this world.
This is also the path Chu Wei and the others want to take.
Of course, this road is not that easy. Not only is it extremely dangerous to temper the body with alien blood, but it also consumes more time and energy than Zhou Qing and others directly refine the body and soul with spiritual energy.
The simplest.
It is said that taking exotic elixirs to refine one's bloodline is extremely dangerous, so it is destined to be impossible to take too many elixirs at one time.
For safety reasons, warriors take one elixir a day, so that the power of the alien bloodline in it is neither strong nor weak, just enough to temper the bloodline but not beyond the control of the warrior.
Based on this calculation, it would take five hundred spiritual pills to complete a transformation of body and soul.
So if a warrior wants to break through Xiantian, it will take five hundred days at the fastest.
That is to say.
When Chu Wei and the others break through Xiantian, it will be in the eleventh year of Shenwu at the earliest, which is already a year and a half later.
But fortunately, now we have Han Hua, Han Hu, and Han Liang, the three guardian gods of Feishuang Dao, plus the spiritual girl of Damo Sect who is already on the way to welcome the bride and will return to the country in less than two months.
In a short period of time, Chu State has gained four more innate masters.
The overall innate number has exceeded ten.
With such strength, there is no need to worry for the time being, as there is no innate ability to use it.
Even if pushed to the extreme, Lu Yuan, the three grandmasters from the three subordinate countries in the southwest, can be mobilized and used on the order of the King of Chu.
It's just that these three kingdoms are innate, related to the situation in the southwest, and are an important force for Chu to deter Dali, Nanzhao, as well as Su and Song.
Moreover, the three countries are also in a situation of checking and balancing each other.
It is not impossible to use the innate talents of the three vassal countries.
However, if they are transferred away, it will easily break the situation of the southwest countries, and even cause discord among the three vassal countries, completely causing imbalance in the southwest.
Therefore, Lu Yuan actually did not want to use the power of these vassal countries unless he had to.
With these three small vassal countries, the Chu State only needs to maintain two forbidden troops in one county in central Guizhou, one Xiantian. Even including the county soldiers, there are only 70,000 troops to maintain the situation in the southwest.
And if they were gone.
If the Chu State wants to ensure the current stability of the southwest, it has to send a clone to sit in the city like Hanzhong County and garrison hundreds of thousands of troops to provide sufficient deterrence.
The investment and contribution of the two are obviously not proportional.
Therefore, it was precisely with this in mind that Lu Yuan had no intention of recruiting southwestern vassals for next year's southern expedition.
However, this does not mean that the power of the vassal countries in the southwest will never be used in the future.
Wait until next year to send troops to the south to conquer the Lingnan countries.
The Chu State's military front and territory can then surround the entire southwest region from south to north, from the Su State and the Song State.
At that time, the north, east and south were all surrounded by Chu.
The remaining two kingdoms of Nanzhao and Dali in the southwest, as long as they do not want to bring about their own destruction, surrendering to Chu and becoming vassal have become their only retreat.
By then, perhaps Lu Yuan could send an envoy to surrender the two countries and make them new vassals of the Chu State.
Yes, Lu Yuan never thought about attacking Nanzhao and Dali.
After learning that Yangzhou was destined to be destroyed in the future, Lu Yuan completely gave up the idea of attacking the southwest.
Instead of wasting time and effort and losing troops to attack the southwest, it would be better to keep these small countries and only make them surrender, and use the name of the suzerain to mobilize the manpower and material resources of these vassals.
Anyway, after more than a hundred years, the southwest area is destined to be destroyed.
If these small countries want to survive at that time, there will be no way out except to completely surrender to the Chu State and merge the whole country into the Chu State.
More than a hundred years were enough for the Chu State to continuously penetrate and slowly manipulate and puppet these small vassal countries.
So why bother?
There is no need to use troops now. As long as they wait a hundred years, these small countries will obediently fall into the arms of Chu without spending a single soldier.
Therefore, after Lu Yuan figured this out, he became less attached to Southwest.
As long as the other party can surrender to him and be included in Chu's tribute system, so that he can get the luck of the southwest countries, that's it.
As for whether there is actual rule or not, it doesn't matter at all.
For now, it is better to attack Lingnan first, and then threaten the southwest with a great victory, and nominally unify the entire western Yangzhou.
At that time, the only five remaining countries in the southwest will all become ministers of the Chu State. There will be no enemies around and there will be no security threats. Lu Yuan can confidently and boldly mobilize the innate troops of the southwest countries to various fronts in the Chu State. Consumed.
He didn't know anything else.
But after Lingnan was conquered and the eastern expedition against Ning was launched a few years later, the military strength and talent of these southwestern Yi and small countries would definitely come in handy.
Lu Yuan had already planned everything in his mind.
…
After personally protecting Chu Wei during his physical transformation, and then confirming that the other party had taken the initial steps and was able to control his own bloodline, Lu Yuan only watched for more than ten days before letting go.
He is the lord of the Chu State, and even now he has regained his original intention, and has begun to let go of the military and political affairs of the country, focusing on his own freedom and detachment, and is much more free than before.
But no matter how free he is, there are still many things that cannot be avoided and need to be handled by himself, the King of Chu.
And what he wants is freedom and freedom.
Not even the great cause of Chu State could impede Lu Yuan, let alone a few disciples.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible for him to spend too much time on watching over a few disciples to achieve innate breakthroughs.
Therefore, except for Chu Wei, Li Liang, Han Shun and others, Lu Yuan also only watched for ten and a half days to see that the disciples' innate transformation was on the right track, and then they no longer bothered to take care of them.
certainly.
As a teacher, he didn't really give up and ignore his responsibilities.
After letting go, Lu Yuan also told Sun Siwen that if his friend was free, he could go and see his nephews and keep an eye on them to prevent them from doing anything unexpected.
Well, he is my nephew.
Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen are considered brothers, and the friendship between them is far better than that of ordinary brothers.
At the same time, Sun Siwen also practiced the Chiyang Divine Skill, which was in the same line as Lu Yuan, and broke through the innate barrier in this state of skill.
There is absolutely no problem in teaching Chu Wei and others who also practice this channel.
Therefore, whether in terms of status or martial arts, there is absolutely no problem if Sun Siwen calls Chu and others his nephew.
Even in terms of official position, Sun Siwen was the prime minister of the country, and in terms of rank, he was higher than Chu Wei and others.
He is definitely qualified to teach Chu Wei and others.
But in this way, it is inevitable that Sun Siwen, who is already busy with official duties, will become even busier.
Fortunately, with this good friend's temperament, he has always served the country and the public, and now he is helping the country cultivate five innates. This is a matter of greatly increasing the country's foundation and consolidating its heritage.
When Sun Siwen knew it, he would naturally do his part and would never shirk it.
With such a dedicated and responsible friend, Lu Yuan could just let go and take care of himself.
So after having some free time, Lu Yuan finished handling state affairs and took Lan Cai'er and other concubines, as well as the two brothers Lu He and Lu Hao, to wander around Baling.
Yes, Lan Cai'er has returned from her tour of the southwest.
Now that Han Liang, the divine general who protects the country, has been appointed as the defense envoy of Qianzhong County, Lan Cai'er, who was originally touring the southwest, no longer has to stay in the barren mountains and can be freed from it and return to Baling. .
And seriously.
Lu Yuan is about to marry the Tibetan spirit girl, and he will use the ceremony of a queen.
For such an important matter, Lan Cai'er had to be informed both emotionally and rationally, and the queen should be asked to return to the capital to personally participate in the matter.
So after Han Liang went to central Guizhou to take up his post, Lu Yuan sent his rescuer Pegasus to tell the Queen to return.
And after Lan Cai'er returned to Baling a few days ago, he told the other party everything in detail, and then he was anxiously prepared for the other party to be angry.
After all, what I did was indeed a bit unethical.
There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country.
Naturally, there cannot be two queens in this harem.
In order to win over the Fan people, Lu Yuan asked Ling Nu to welcome her back to the palace with the courtesy of a queen. Although it was just such a courtesy and she did not give her the title of queen.
But in theory.
Relying on such a thing, the spirit girl in the harem is actually on an equal footing with Lan Cai'er, so there is no need to fear too much.
This is something that shakes Lan Cai'er's authority in the harem. It involves the fundamentals of her own status, so she naturally has to take it seriously.
certainly.
Although this matter may shake the peace of the harem, and even further shake the foundation of the country.
But Lu Yuan was confident that as long as he was alive for one day, there would be no trouble in the harem, and there would be no trouble in the Chu Kingdom.
And with the lifespans of Lan Cai'er and the spirit girl, it goes without saying that they would definitely not be able to survive him.
Therefore, whether it is Lan Cai'er or Ling Nu, it is basically impossible to cause trouble in Chu State.
Therefore, after learning about this incident, although Lan Cai'er felt angry and dissatisfied, she had already learned that Lu Yuan was successful in cultivating immortals and could live at least two hundred years, so she didn't really make a fuss.
After all, she knew in her heart that she couldn't survive her husband, and neither could the spirit girl.
Even whether his own son can survive it is a question.
She originally thought of using her son to kill her husband, then take control of the Chu Kingdom and revive the Miao Five Poison Sect, but she gave up early.
And as the Chu State continued to grow, it gradually developed to the point of unifying Yangzhou.
What Lan Cai'er thinks more about now is to let the Miao people and the Five Poison Sect better integrate into the Chu country and become a part of this country, rather than a foreign race.
And think about it.
So what if the spirit girl enters the palace?
The biggest benefit in Lu Yuan's hands, that is, the spiritual energy in the Immortal Yuan Jade Pendant has been obtained by his two sons.
Lu He and Lu Hao have laid the foundation of innateness, and even in seven or eight years, when they grow up, they will become innate masters.
By then, with her mother here, and her two sons both being innate masters, this strength would be enough to stabilize the queen's position.
In the harem, no one can shake this combination bound by family ties.
Not to mention the friendship that he and Lu Yuan have supported along the way over the years.
This feeling of starting a business together and sharing weal and woe is not something that just a spirit girl can compare with.
In this case, knowing that one's identity and status are secure, coupled with the fact that the spirit girl represents the Fan people, is indeed valuable to win over.
After Lan Cai'er was angry for a while, she looked away.
Just looking away and looking away, some awkward emotions are still there in my heart.
What can Lu Yuan say about this?
I can only take my queen and two children with me to travel around the palace and relax.
Not to mention, this strategy is very effective.
Baling borders the Yangtze River to the north, Dongting to the west, Yunluo Mountain to the east, and a lake and fertile fields to the south.
Within the four directions, there are magnificent mountains and rivers and boundless scenery.
Lu Yuan took the family shopping for a long time, and most of Lan Cai'er's original sadness and gloom had dissipated.
Usually when I lead the two little guys to play, I also show a lot of smiles.
Seeing this, Lu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But I know in my heart that this level has been passed.
They played for more than a month, and only returned to Baling when the New Year was approaching.
It happened to be at this time.
The mission originally sent to the snowfield to welcome the spiritual concubine to marry, after several months of traveling, finally received the spiritual concubine. They worked hard all the way by land and water, and returned to Baling in time for the end of the year.
He brought back an innate master, four hundred spiritual pills, and a ten-headed flying eagle to the Chu State.
The heritage of Chu State has been further consolidated.
