Lu Yuan accepted the gift, and upon seeing this, True Person Anqiu could not help but rejoice.

Thus, smiles appeared on both of their faces.

However, one was from the heart, while the other’s was from bitterness.

‘After waiting for so many years, I finally found an Inborn Grandmaster to cultivate the Taiping Dao Book.’Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆lb/in(.)com

‘It will be difficult to deal with Dan Ding Path in the future.’

These thoughts arose in both of their minds.

Nevertheless, both Lu Yuan and Anqiu were tacitly silent, their faces filled with beaming smiles.

Looking at each other, their eyes were extremely kind, like close friends.

After exchanging glances with Elder Daoist, Lu Yuan disliked staying in this broken place any longer and said, “Since the matters here are resolved and there’s nothing worth seeing in this wilderness, Fellow Daoist Anqiu, let’s go back.”

This time, Dan Ding Path caught him off guard with their unpredictable move.

The original plan was no longer feasible.

Taking advantage of Dan Ding Path seemed unlikely now.

However, Lu Yuan couldn’t expose his secret of immortality.

Thus, the inevitable rift would still occur.

At this moment, they needed to prepare for future confrontations with Dan Ding Path.

Otherwise, when the time comes and Dan Ding Path Master actually attacks at their doorstep, they would be defenseless, and it would be game over.

As True Person Anqiu achieved his goal and confirmed Lu Yuan would cultivate the Taiping Dao Book, he naturally lost interest in their location, nodding and saying, “I will listen to my fellow Daoist.”

At this time, for Lu Yuan, who was a valuable test subject, those from Dan Ding Path cherished him more than anyone else in the world.

As long as they could fulfill any reasonable conditions that Lu Yuan presented, Dan Ding Path would rarely refuse.

And so, with different feelings, both hurriedly arrived and left just as quickly.

Not even staying for half a day, they set off for the return journey.

After returning to Shaoyang Prefecture City, Lu Yuan and Anqiu temporarily separated.

He was too busy with other matters to deal with the Elder Daoist.

Like the Poison Sect negotiations, impending military expeditions from the imperial court, coordinating responses with the Nanhai Sect, training new soldiers within the barracks, and even handling various government affairs…

There were many things that needed Lu Yuan’s attention.

Even while dealing with these matters, he still needed to find time to practice martial arts, research Inborn martial arts, and cultivate the Five Thunder Dao Law.

Although he had a lot of time, there was also a lot to do.

Now, another issue weighed on him: how to handle the upcoming Dan Ding Path matter.

There were thousands of intertwined issues, like a chaotic mess.

However, although Lu Yuan didn’t have time to deal with Anqiu, the Elder Daoist wouldn’t leave yet.

True Person Anqiu needed to coordinate things here, urging his people to transport supplies that had been promised to Lu Yuan.

Since so many supplies were involved, even if Dan Ding Path provided them all at once, it would be a massive loss.

Nearly all of their recent accumulation would be depleted.

Without staying here and personally witnessing the supplies arrive, True Person Anqiu couldn’t feel at ease.

Thus, both sides became busy independently.

As for the supplies transported by Anqiu who was racking his brain, Lu Yuan only paid brief attention and lost interest quickly.

Now that the alliance with Dan Ding Path was established, there was no turning back for him.

Having accepted reality, Lu Yuan decisively let go of this thought and started using Dan Ding Path’s funding to enhance his strength.

No matter if Dan Ding Path would cause trouble after discovering they were fooled, first, they needed to increase their strength to deal with any future confrontations.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yuan summoned all fifty-six of his registered disciples, performing cultivation inspections.

This time, he had obtained fifty Divine Blood Elixirs from True Person Anqiu, a tremendous fortune to quickly increase the strategic resources of his side’s expert reserves.

Since it was now in hand, he naturally wanted to make use of it immediately.

Thus, Lu Yuan planned to first examine his disciples’ mental states and pick a few outstanding ones to try and cultivate into top experts.

Over the past year, many of his disciples had performed meritorious deeds in battles, which needed to be rewarded.

Mere titles and wealth were not enough; they also needed support in martial arts resources.

As his disciples grew stronger, Lu Yuan’s job as a teacher would become easier, wouldn’t it?

However, the reality was that even with resources, cultivating talents was not necessarily easy.

On the twenty-first day of the tenth month in the sixth year of Hongdao.

Inside the big tent of the Shaoyang Prefecture City barracks.

“Didn’t I always tell you to pay attention to your mental cultivation, read more Taoist classics daily, and not neglect your progress? Have you taken my words to heart?”

“All you ever do is abuse your power and enjoy wealth. Have you forgotten your Martial Arts cultivation?”

“In this chaotic world, without martial strength, how can you achieve success and gain wealth?”

“Get out of my sight!”

“If you still don’t show any improvement in mental cultivation next time, don’t consider yourself my disciple anymore. I can’t afford to lose face.”

Lu Yuan was furious, scolding one of his kneeling disciples who dared not argue back and was frightened pale.
