Translator: 549690339
“Master, after this battle, Luyang Prefecture will be completely restored!”
On the distant command platform, Zhou Qing looked at the army entering the city with a smile on his face, and congratulated his master beside him, “When the court learns of this achievement, there must be rewards and promotions coming our way.”
“This is just the beginning.”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s congratulations, his face showed little joy. Looking at the city, which was gradually becoming noisy, he said indifferently, “Breaking the city is nothing. To complete our mission this time, we must capture Qiao Xiuyuan and the other rebel ringleaders.”
Having said that, he turned his head and looked at his disciple earnestly, “2
In this period of time, you have taken the Pure Water Profound Pill bestowed to you by your teacher, and combined with your previous accumulation, you have broken through four meridians and cultivated the eleventh meridian, which is very good.
But even if you reach the eleventh meridian, you are only at the late stage of the second-class realm and far from reaching the first-class realm.” You should be clear about what I told you last night.”
Now the world is the chessboard of these Inborn Grandmasters. They manipulate the rivers and mountains, controlling the world’s situation.”
In front of these grandmasters, strength not reaching the first-class realm means not even having the qualifications to be a pawn.”
Even if you reach the first-class realm, you must have an army at your back to compete with them. ”
I have already turned my back on the Poison Sect, and the two sides have deep-seated hatred. The other party will never let me go.”
Now that the Holy Maiden of the Poison Sect is being dragged in Baling City, she can’t escape for the time being. But once she settles the war over there and gets some free time, I will be the first one she comes after.”
As a master, I have already cultivated to the peak of the first-class realm, and I also have an army with me on normal days, so even if I face the Holy Maiden of the Poison Sect, I am not too afraid, at least I have a chance to fight.”
But it’s different for you.”
As my disciple, you are also on the Poison Sect’s target list.”
I’m afraid that the Poison Sect can’t do anything to me, so they turn to those close to me for trouble.’
Your strength is too weak.”
If you really become the target of the Poison Sect, they won’t even need to use their Inborn Grandmasters to fight, just sending one or two first-class experts would be enough to deal with you.”
Never expect the enemy to be merciful or to have a bottom line.”
Just like now, Lu Yuan can threaten the rebels to surrender by using their family members as hostages. Naturally, the Poison Sect can also use his friends and family to threaten him.”
If such things happen, no matter how you deal with it, it will always be a tragedy.”
“Master…”
Hearing Lu Yuan’s concerned words, Zhou Qing’s face turned red with shame,
“Disciple has disappointed you.”
Lu Yuan shook his head, “It’s okay, you just need to work hard to improve your strength. That’s why I want to capture the Seven Star Sect this time, force them to reveal their treasure. With these treasures, it won’t be difficult for you to break through the first-class realm.”
But after breaking through the first-class realm, don’t continue cultivating your inner strength for a while.”
Your current level of mindset cultivation is not enough to control the power of the first-class realm. To go further, you need to polish and refine yourself more.”
Focus more on practicing martial arts techniques, as we martial artists need not only profound inner strength but also various techniques and skills.”
Only by combining both inner and outer cultivation can one follow the right path.’
With Zhou Qing’s current level of mindset cultivation, it’s barely enough to support the strength of the first-class realm. But if he wants to go further, it’s somewhat difficult to control and balance.”
In this world, from the second-class realm onwards, martial arts practitioners have more or less touched on some spiritual cultivation. They focus on cultivating the true essence of inner strength and combine it with techniques to maximize the power of martial arts.”
Therefore, the higher the level of martial arts, the deeper the requirements for the mindset.
If there is not enough mindset to match the cultivation level, the worst-case scenario is losing control and dying. In a lighter case, the character is influenced by martial arts and turns to extremism.”
Don’t think that Lu Yuan can casually take medicine to continuously increase his inner strength. It’s all based on the premise that he has been reading and studying for the past 15 years, constantly improving his mindset.”
Even the jade tablet which helps him refine inner strength and assists in grasping the true essence is a significant help.”
All of this forms the foundation for Lu Yuan to control his dramatically increased cultivation level. ”
If it was an ordinary person who increased their cultivation level like this, they would have had problems long ago.”
Over the years, Zhou Qing has also been studying the Taoist Classics under Lu Yuan’s influence, and he has been studying them for almost ten years now.
It is barely enough for him to control the power of the first-class realm with ten years of mindset cultivation.”
“Yes, disciple will follow Master’s teachings carefully.” Knowing his own shortcomings, Zhou Qing nodded solemnly without any refutation.
“After this battle, I plan to…”
Lu Yuan continued to talk with his disciple, but at this moment, a column of smoke rose in the distance. He looked slightly surprised and then laughed, “3
It seems that those people fled to the north.”
With that, Lu Yuan leaped forward, turning into a shadow and swiftly moving towards the north. In the blink of an eye, his figure was no longer visible.”
Surrounding him, Zhou Qing and other disciples who had long been prepared followed closely.”
But in comparison to their master’s lightness skill, the lightness skill of these people was somewhat lacking, so they could only follow on horseback.”
To the north of the city, on the open field, chaos was already in full swing.
Qiao Xiuyuan and his men burst out from the city, only to face a tight formation of government troops directly ahead..
