To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck - Chapter 547: 262: Wu Man’s Envoy

Chapter 547: Chapter 262: Wu Man’s Envoy

Right when Lu Yuan was busying himself with his preparations,

On the other side, after leaving Chu Palace, Anqiu True Person didn’t dare to linger and hurriedly traveled for more than a month before finally returning to Dan Ding Mountain.

Upon arrival at the mountain gate, he went straight to Dao master Lin Qingxuan and explained every detail of his meeting with Lu Yuan.

After listening to the whole story, Lin Qingxuan’s expression remained calm as he asked for confirmation, “Based on what you said, has Lu Yuan’s cultivation reached the point of condensing the first Qi or is he close to it?”

“Senior Brother, I saw it with my own eyes, there is no mistake.

At that time, when Lu Yuan used his divine sense to pressure me, the strength of his divine sense was no less than that of Senior Brother. If he did not condense the first Qi, how could he be so strong?

Moreover, the Storage Spirit Jade left behind by Sun Qingyi contained enough spiritual energy for a cultivator to cultivate to the period of condensing the first Qi, but there is not much left now.

He has absorbed so much spiritual energy that even if he hasn’t condensed one of the Five Elements Qi in his body, he must not be far off.”

Anqiu True Person recounted what he had witnessed at the time and then angrily continued, “This Lu Yuan, having practiced the Five Thunder books, has already become a cultivator. Yet, during the Inescapable Meeting, he deceived me with the appearance of a martial artist.

At that time, he also mentioned Qingyu Taoist’s legacy, and now it is clear that this Qingyu is actually Sun Qingyi.

Knowing this, he still tricked me into giving away my Dao books, and took advantage of my willingness to help, treating my Dan Ding Path as a fool.

In the end, I went there in person and presented him with tens of millions of silver taels as a gift, only to suffer humiliation and become a laughingstock.”

This person has treated me so deceitfully and has no respect for my Dan Ding path at all.”

Filled with rage, Anqiu True Person continued, “Master Senior Brother, I implore you to order our sect to send all our disciples south to conquer Lu Yuan.

Without eliminating this thief and cleansing our disgrace, how could Dan Ding Path stand face up in the world?”

Seeing his disciple leave and return so furious and eager for bloodshed,

Lin Qingxuan felt a mix of anger and a sigh in his heart.

He could understand why Anqiu True Person had such an attitude.

His junior brother was an elder of the sect and one of the rare cultivators in the world, proud and arrogant all his life, never being wronged so much.

Yet now, he was deceived by Lu Yuan, a loose cultivator from the outskirts of the world, for so long.

How could Anqiu True Person, who considered himself of noble birth, accept such a reality?

However, that was not the only issue.

Barely saving face, he could learn from this experience, pay more attention, and move on.

But this matter was related to the inheritance of the Dan Ding Path and the major plan that spanned hundreds of years.

Since the incident fell into Anqiu True Person’s hands, how could he face his fellow disciples in the mountain, his master in front of him, and himself deep within his heart?

All these factors combined naturally led Anqiu True Person to be unable to reconcile and give birth to thoughts of revenge.

However, Lin Qingxuan, as the sect leader, had to prioritize the welfare of the sect above all else.

“Junior brother, please stand up first.”

As he saw his junior brother kneeling on the ground, Lin Qingxuan sighed lightly, and helped him up, then said, “Lu Yuan is now occupying three provinces, commanding hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and becoming the master of a powerful nation.

Moreover, he himself is not only an Inborn Grandmaster, but also possesses extraordinary Dao Law, and has already condensed his first Qi, no less than me. Furthermore, the Queen of Chu State, who is also an Inborn Grandmaster, is adding even more support.

With such strength, even if our sect tried our best to eliminate, I am afraid it would be difficult to accomplish the goal and wipe out the enemy.

On our side, the losses would be tremendous as well.

Also, considering their alliance with Nanhai Country and Su Country, how do we know they won’t come to their aid if we act?

What about the Ziyun Path? Will they have any objections to us causing trouble in their territory?

Moreover, currently, there are powerful countries in each of the Nine Provinces of the world. Ultimately, they are the ones revered by the people.

Although we cultivators stand outside the world and are highly respected,

If we break the unwritten rule of not interfering with each other’s mortal affairs and openly destroy a large country, it will surely arouse the suspicion and jealousy of others.

At that time, after killing Lu Yuan and destroying Chu State,

I am afraid that King Liang and his various ministers would be restless.

If they decide to join forces and break with our sect in order to eliminate future trouble and secure internal stability, how could we respond?

Any of these three matters, if mishandled in the slightest, could potentially overturn our sect.

I took over the inheritance of Dan Ding Path from my master, vowing to pass on the Daoist tradition, and I cannot bring such disaster upon my sect.

Therefore, a long expedition is not suitable.”

As he heard his senior brother’s explanation, the anger in Anqiu True Person’s heart gradually subsided, realizing the truth of his words. But still, he couldn’t swallow his pride and asked quietly, “So we’re just going to let it go?”

Lin Qingxuan laughed, “Of course not. As a cultivator, you should know what it feels like to be in a place without immortal spirits, don’t you?”

Anqiu True Person’s expression changed, and he nodded, “It is like a drowning man, wanting to breathe but being unable to.”

Lin Qingxuan chuckled, “Exactly like a drowning man. Lu Yuan, with his abundant Qi Luck, managed to obtain the inheritance from Sun Qingyi’s descendants from a hundred years ago.

But that Sun Qingyi was nothing more than a loose cultivator. Even if he had a minor success with the ancient Wind and Thunder Path by chance, it is very likely that this inheritance could only enable him to cultivate to the point of condensing his first Qi at most.

Whatever is left, even if it could be passed down a little, how long would it last for a person to use?”
