To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

After sending Zhou Qing away, Lu Yuan gradually adjusted his mood after experiencing a few days of discomfort.

Humans are creatures of habit.

They can quickly adapt to the presence of a new person and just as quickly

adapt to the absence of someone.

Of course, this is just a habit of the body and mind.

Whether one can emotionally adjust and accept changes depends on the individual.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan had read many Taoist Classics and had been friends with Daoist Qi Yun and others for a long time, so his own Cultivation was deep.

Now, a simple separation couldn’t bother him.

Only when he thought of the possible life-and-death separation in the future did he feel a slight sense of regret.

People must live their lives.

Although his good apprentice left, Lu Yuan’s plan still needed to be carried out.

If no one could do it for him, he would simply do it himself.

However, since there was no one to assist him, Lu Yuan did not select candidates from the entire group of soldiers as originally planned.

Instead, he chose those who were not too old, lacked a master, and already had a foundation in Inner Strength to be his own disciples.

As a result, the number of people available for selection had greatly decreased.

After all, among the entire army of 500 people, only about twenty of them had developed Inner Strength. After several rounds of screening, only five people met Lu Yuan’s requirements in the end.

These five were around twenty years old, had practiced a basic martial arts technique, but had no master.

Lu Yuan took them as nominal disciples and taught each of them the first Mental Technique and moves of the Cloud Palm, then sent them off to study and practice on their own.

He didn’t have high expectations for these nominal disciples, as long as they reached the second -rate realm in twenty years.

These disciples could also be used to train additional apprentices, expanding the influence of their sect.

Then, in twenty years, it would be time for Lu Yuan to challenge the Iron Sword Sect.

By then, with himself as the leader, along with five second-rate disciples, dozens of third-rate apprentices, and a group of friends, they could barely challenge the Iron Sword Sect.

As for Zhou Qing?

Braving the dangers of Jianghu is a matter of risking one’s life. Lu Yuan was unsure if his good apprentice would survive in Jianghu for another twenty years.

So, this plan to attack the Iron Sword Sect did not include him.

However, even without a disciple, Lu Yuan believed that with his current strength, he could definitely defeat the Iron Sword Sect after accumulating strength for twenty years.

“Even if we don’t succeed, it’s okay. We can just wait another twenty years,” Lu Yuan said indifferently. “By the time my apprentices have grown up, with dozens of second-rate fighters, I don’t believe we can’t take down the Iron Sword Sect.”

As a long-lived person, he always had this kind of flexibility when it came to time planning.

He didn’t believe that he couldn’t outlast a declining Iron Sword Sect.

After passing on the martial arts techniques, Lu Yuan let the five nominal disciples fend for themselves.

Besides setting aside one day per month to answer their questions and give lectures, he didn’t pay much attention to them.

Having recently realized emotional issues, he was slowly correcting his behavior and thought, beginning to think according to a long-lived person’s

Inair

He could not invest too much emotion into everything, lest it hurt someone’s body, mind, or feelings.

Look at the bigger picture.

For matters that cannot be solved in a short time, stretch the timeline to ten, twenty, or even hundreds of years. Time can eventually erase everything.

Lu Yuan felt that his mindset had been somewhat unbalanced in recent years.

He had gone from being carefree to gradually becoming eager for quick success.

As a long-lived person, he had begun to pursue rapid growth in power like ordinary people, which was truly a case of putting the cart before the horse.

“Is it because of my emotions?”

Lu Yuan pondered in his heart, scrutinizing incessantly, and finally concluded: “Because I wanted to help Doctor Zhou and Xiaoqing, I became eager to deal with the Iron Sword Sect.

And because of the turmoil in recent years, I began to worry about Brother Sun, which eventually led me to face the threat of the Poison Sect.

It was these dangers that constantly appeared, which caused the pressure and anxiety in my heart, making me want to enhance my strength.”

Upon careful consideration, all the changes he had gone through in recent years were due to his emotions.

It was because he cared that things changed.

Otherwise, given Lu Yuan’s nature, he would have found a place to hide in the face of these troubles and dangers, waited for decades or even a hundred years, achieved major success in his martial arts, and then sought revenge.

He wouldn’t be like this now.

Even knowing the threat of the Five Poisons Sect, he still stayed in Wugang County Town without leaving.

“However, even though I know the causes of these disturbances in my state of mind, I still don’t want to change.”

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

There are some things you should do and some things you shouldn’t.

During these difficult and dangerous times, he couldn’t bring himself to abandon his friends and run away, focusing solely on himself.

Fortunately, his current strength was enough to face most dangers and protect the wellbeing of both his friends and himself.

However, even so, Lu Yuan became more determined to separate himself from his emotions.

For the sake of his initial aspirations, he could take a few risks with his friends now.

But he couldn’t do this in the long years to come.

Otherwise, even as a long-lived person, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t suffer a setback.

“To be compassionate to oneself and indifferent to all things, that is my way.”

Lu Yuan read the Taoist Classics, and could understand the Immortal experiences more deeply.

It is said that Immortals are immortal and enjoy the same lifespan as heaven.

Did those pioneers who became Immortal also go through a similar journey of emotional growth like him?

With this resonance, Lu Yuan delved deeper into the Taoist Classics and could understand their true meaning more easily.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the year, and Wugang County Town had regained stability and prosperity by December.

After the prefecture’s inspection, Sun Siwen’s contributions were recognized, and his rank was elevated by one level at the end of the year, making him a Seventh Rank County Magistrate.

Lu Yuan didn’t pay much attention to the promotion of his official rank.

He had no interest in officialdom. He became an official mainly for Sun Siwen. Of course, now he had another reason- to make money.

After all, in just a few months, he had made 130,000 silver taels, which could only be achieved by being an official and robbing the people.

But while others become rich through officialdom for luxury and wealth, Lu Yuan, though also enjoying some of it, did not invest much energy in it.

His main focus and financial resources were on enhancing his strength. The biggest part of that was spending money on making medicine..
