Chapter 530: Chapter 256: Inborn Candidates_2
Even Liang Country might be coveting the northern territory of Chu State at this moment, and after hearing the news that Zhou Qing is about to break through Innate, can they guarantee that they won’t take any little action?
It is for these various concerns that, before Zhou Qing breaks through Innate and consolidates his realm, this news must not be leaked out.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing has now met all the conditions and, with the guidance of his teacher, Lu Yuan, has found the direction to build his martial arts external body.
So, in the time to come, he will create his martial arts external body and then use his own divine soul to become the true meaning, completely evolving the Outer World.
And this process took Lu Yuan almost more than a year.
Zhou Qing’s talent is not inferior to him, even stronger in some aspects; perhaps one year is enough.
That is to say,
At most by this time next year, which is the end of the fourth year of Shenwu, Zhou Qing should be able to break through Innate.
“By that time, there will be one more Innate in the country. Xiaoqing will sit in the north of the river, enough to resist foreign enemies. The Queen will sit in Baling in the south of the river, enough to stabilize the local area.
At that time, I can free up my hands, lead a hundred thousand troops eastward, and don’t have to worry about the rear anymore.”
It has to be said that Zhou Qing’s breakthrough Innate is the best news Lu Yuan has received in recent years.
His breakthrough has completely solved the dilemma of the lack of top-level combat power in the Chu State, allowing for one more Innate Grandmaster who can expand outward.
Moreover, with one more Innate Grandmaster in Chu State, it is not only the enhancement of the top-level combat power but also the improvement of national strength.
In the eyes of other countries, even the status of Chu State will be raised along with it.
After all, one or two Innates can still be considered as a fluke.
But the emergence of the third Innate means that Chu State has a complete system, capable of steadily cultivating new Innates.
A nation that can continuously cultivate Innates means that its inheritance is orderly, and today’s glory of Chu State is not a fleeting moment that will completely dissipate with the death of Lu Yuan and Lan Cai’er.
The implications here are completely different.
Not only will it make Zhou Country pay more attention to Chu State, but it will also make the ministers and people in Chu State more united.
“In short, without accident, when Xiaoqing breaks through Innate and the news is spread, I should be able to harvest another wave of Qi Luck.”
As Lu Yuan thought of this, he couldn’t help but reveal a smile on his face.
This third year of Shenwu is indeed a bumper harvest year.
After several years of cultivation, the various seeds he had sown in the past have successively borne fruit.
Immigrant relocation, balanced revenue and expenditure, military reform, Zhou Qing Innate, one after another good news, continuously passed over.
Even the Royal City Division there, after a year of establishment and supplementation, has almost enough recruits and started work at home and abroad.
Once their recruited spies at all levels are placed in local and foreign countries, Lu Yuan will change his previous information bottleneck and can easily know the world’s affairs.
The benefits and help that this can bring are not small.
It is quite significant.
…
After briefly inquiring about what had happened since he had left and spending some time with his wife and children,
On the last day of September, taking advantage of the gap when Sun Siwen came to report to him, Lu Yuan finally spoke the words he had been wanting to say to his good friend.
“The king wants me to practice martial arts?”
To be honest, when Sun Siwen heard this suggestion, he was a bit baffled.
“Yes, Brother Sun, I want you to start practicing martial arts from now on.” At this point, Lu Yuan didn’t call the other party Sun Qing anymore, but completely abandoned the identity of monarch and ministers, and only tried to persuade him as a good friend.
Seeing this kind of address and sincere tone, Sun Siwen also felt the sincerity and weight of it, so he changed his tone and asked in the attitude of a friend: “Why does Brother Lu have such an idea?”
Lu Yuan directly said, “Brother Sun should also know that if a martial artist can break through Innate, he can live to be one hundred and fifty years old. Now I am already an Inborn, and even last month Xiaoqing has sent news that he is about to break through Innate.
You and Xiaoqing are both the most trustworthy people in my life, even far beyond my wife and children.
But while Xiaoqing can accompany me for another hundred years, you, Brother Sun, are just a mere mortal, and even if you are in good health, you can live for only forty or fifty years at most.
To see a good friend leave the world before me, while I can only live alone in the world.
The pain of this time, although Sun never experienced it, but your friendship and sympathy should be able to experience it, right?”
As Lu Yuan said this, he couldn’t help but look at Sun Siwen.
He believed that he could not bear to see his good friend leave the world before him, and this good friend must not be able to see himself leave the world before him.
This kind of emotion is mutual.
When Sun Siwen heard these words, he thought carefully, and finally couldn’t help but slowly nod his head, showing a hint of desolation on his face.
Obviously, he could feel the sadness of this situation.
And he also thought about the regret and unwillingness of leaving the world so much earlier than his good friend.
Nevertheless, in the face of Lu Yuan’s earnest gaze, Sun Siwen still shook his head and said, “Now I am already forty-two years old, approaching half a hundred, and I am already halfway into the soil.
Although I have never practiced martial arts, I also know that the best age to practice martial arts is the same as for studying, starting after six years old.
Now I am old enough to be a grandfather, and at this point, I am practicing martial arts like my grandchildren. How can I succeed?”
