To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck - C.533: 257: The Perplexity of the Dan Ding_2

Chapter 533 -257: The Perplexity of the Dan Ding_2

Two examples lay before their eyes, nobody understood the difficulties better than Lan Cai’er, the one who had personally experienced them.

Thus, even though the state of Chu was prospering now, its power growing stronger by the day, her heart had always harbored a latent concern.

That was, a hundred years later, when she and Lu Yuan passed away, if there were no succeeding Innates in Chu, what would they do?

Wouldn’t their children fall into the same awkward situation as the current Nanhai Country, facing the risk of annihilation at any time?

Thinking of such terrifying possibilities, Lan Cai’er would always lose sleep.

Now everything was fine.

It turned out that her husband already had arrangements, a legendary Immortal Fate chance, capable of helping someone break through to Innate.

No wonder! No wonder!

‘I had always wondered how my husband had broken through to Innate. Turns out the roots lay here, with an Immortal Fate, breaking through Innate naturally became an effortless task.’

With these thoughts in mind, Lan Cai’er looked at her husband and showed a sweet smile: “Since the king has already made arrangements, then, your concubine will obey. However, He’er is our eldest son, so king, please take more care of him as well.”

The reason she said this was mainly that Lan Cai’er noticed her husband seemed to value Sun Siwen far more than necessary.

It even felt as if he valued Sun Siwen more than her and their child.

Although she could understand their relationship, Sun Siwen and her husband had met in their humble beginnings, emerging from a small town together early on, their friendship was extraordinary.

Later, after raising an army, they supported each other and jointly created their enormous Chu Country.

However, even so, one should not ignore their own wife and child in favor of an outsider.

After all, who were supposed to be his true family?

Thinking of this, Lan Cai’er felt aggrieved and somewhat jealous.

“Your Majesty can rest assured, He’er is my eldest son and the successor of Great Chu. I will certainly carefully nurture him,” Lu Yuan noticed the grievances of his queen and couldn’t help but hold her, comforting her gently.

In reality, he had long since planned for his eldest son’s nurturing, as previously mentioned.

Even if he intended to nurture Sun Siwen, he would only consume half of the Immortal Spirit Qi, and the remaining needed would be slowly supplemented by the Divine Blood Spirit Medicine collected from within the country.

About this point, over the past two months, Lu Yuan had already issued orders to various regions, asking local officials to find the martial arts families and sects of martial artists and demand that they hand over part of the stored Divine Blood Spirit Medicine from their families.

However, it was still too early, and at the same time, those sects and aristocratic families were finding excuses to delay matters, so there had been no progress for the time being.

In response, Lu Yuan had already decided to kill a group of people in order to intimidate the local martial artists of Jianghu.

Let them understand who was the real sky of Great Chu.

Once a group of chickens had been killed as a warning, the remaining monkeys should be well-behaved.

Therefore, the hope that Sun Siwen would break through Innate still depended on the local Jianghu sects and aristocratic families.

Lan Cai’er’s share of Immortal Spirit Qi had not been touched by Lu Yuan at all.

Although the feelings of trust in his wife and son were not yet as deep as those for Sun Siwen and Zhou Qing, he had not neglected any treatment he should have given them.

This principle was quite strong.

Lan Cai’er’s worries were merely being overly concerned.

However, alas, although he had not neglected his duties, his heart still favored Sun Siwen and Zhou Qing more than his wife and child.

So, when he saw Lan Cai’er dissatisfied, Lu Yuan had nothing to say but to comfort her all the more, and make up for it later that night.

…

Just as Chu was secretly preparing to cultivate two Innates, far away in Liang Country, on Mount Dan Ding, they were also especially concerned about the situation in Chu.

Let’s go back to the end of the seventh year of Hongdao.

At that time, True Person Anqiu took the assistance of Dan Ding Path, painstakingly traveled thousands of miles, and finally delivered it to Dongting County.

Then under his constant urging, he finally had Lu Yuan go and worship the Heavenly Pillar and begin to cultivate the Taiping Dao Book.

Seeing everything settled, the Innate experiment that their sect had been searching for hundreds of years was finally found.

True Person Anqiu was satisfied and, after being driven away by Lu Yuan’s impatience, ran back to Liang Country happily.

Then he waited and waited.

From the seventh year of Hongdao, he waited until the eighth year, and then from the eighth year to the ninth year. Even as Great Yue perished and Ning Country was established, the original Changsha Country had also become the current Chu Country, which had reached the third year of Shenwu.

These five years had passed, and they still hadn’t received any news about Lu Yuan’s reactions after cultivating the Taiping Dao Book, as everyone from Dan Ding Path had been expecting.

According to the experiment data of the past hundreds of years, the Dan Ding Path’s people had originally estimated that an Inborn Grandmaster who had cultivated the Taiping Dao Book would suffer backlash and die from Life Exhaustion and Death, within two to three years at most, if they could not break through.

Now that five years had passed, it had long exceeded the timeline by two times the estimated duration.

But Lu Yuan was still alive and well.

In the first year of Shenwu, at the time when they had estimated the limit of his lifespan, he was still leading his army, confronting Ning Country. Facing an army of thousands, he didn’t give way.

Their demeanor didn’t look like they were tormented by their cultivation method, or that their lifespan was nearing its end.

From this perspective, could it be concluded that the King of Chu had already broken through his realm, achieving the cultivation of condensing Qi?

Only then could he have a higher resistance to the cultivation method, have more lifespan to resist the side effects of the cultivation method, and still be alive and well until now.
