Chapter 143 Continuous Advancement of Cultivation Technique
[Fourth-grade martial art, "Primordial Qi Gong," mastering the Void Control Technique (30134/30000, perfected, should it be upgraded?)]
[Fourth-Rank Skill: Heart-Shattering Fist] (60221/50000 Entering Stance, Should I use 10,000 proficiency points to advance?)
Look at the message that appeared above.
Lu Yuan did not hesitate and immediately chose to break through.
The next moment, powerful true energy surged within his body.
It spread throughout the body's meridians, and within the dantian, it surged like endless waves.
The dazzling luster almost completely covered him.
In a short while, he stepped into the realm of divine essence.
However, Lu Yuan did not stop what he was doing. He took out a Spirit Void Grass and threw it into his mouth. This was a rare and precious herb used by those in the Void Realm.
It's extremely rare, but given Lu Yuan's current strength and status, he could certainly obtain it.
As the Spirit Void Grass was swallowed.
A powerful and concentrated energy seemed to explode within his body.
The divine essence grew increasingly rich, even transforming into a golden mist.
It enveloped the entire dantian.
After the effects of one elixir had worn off, he swallowed the next one without hesitation.
In an instant, an overwhelming force surged through his body once again.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yuan felt a swelling sensation all over his body.
Then, the system data popped up again.
[Fourth-grade martial art, "Primordial Qi Gong," for mastering the Void (60382/50000 Spirit Energy, use 10,000 proficiency points to advance?)]
After he chose to advance directly, a domineering energy enveloped his entire body.
The quality of his true essence has become even purer.
With each breath, vortexes of spiritual energy could even condense in front of him.
Its strength continues to grow.
The aura rose.
Wei Yong and the others who were guarding outside the courtyard were all shocked.
A powerful pressure could be clearly felt emanating from the courtyard.
Everyone kept backing away.
As this energy rises, it reaches the critical point.
Only then were they gradually able to regain their footing.
At this moment, Lu Yuan's body underwent another change. The rich spiritual energy in his dantian continued to condense and gradually took on a physical form.
Finally, it became a golden pill the size of a grain of rice.
At this moment, the elixir will have been completely and successfully formed.
With his hands clenched tightly, an overwhelming force surged through his body in an instant.
The system data resurfaced in Lu Yuan's mind.
[Fifth-grade cultivation technique "Primordial Essence Condensation Technique" - Core Formation (382/1000 Minor Success)]
After the skill is upgraded.
Lu Yuan felt an unprecedented power.
"So this is a fifth-grade cultivation technique? Although it's only at the minor completion stage, it's much more powerful than before." Lu Yuan thought to himself, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips.
However, his improvement in strength did not stop.
A multitude of insights into boxing techniques surfaced in my mind.
Wisps of black mist were wrapped around his arms.
It exudes a terrifying aura, and is brutal and bloodthirsty.
It took about an hour for the transformation to be completely completed.
There was a black luster on Lu Yuan's palm, which didn't really flicker but disappeared in a flash.
[Fifth-Rank Technique "Condensing Evil Heart-Shattering Fist"] (221/1000 Minor Success)
The breakthroughs in two cultivation techniques gave him even more confidence for the upcoming battles.
I am confident that I can face a master of the Divine Origin Realm.
Reaching this level, one could serve as a city marquis within a dynasty, definitely belonging to the high echelons, second only to some major sects or a handful of powerful figures in the martial arts world.
They are very hard to find.
Even princes can only recruit experts at this level at most; they may not be qualified for anything higher.
Therefore, it is indeed time to prepare to unify the buffer zone.
According to Lu Yuan's estimation, once this place is captured, the army could reach a size of nearly one million, and the population would rise to ten million.
It wouldn't be much worse than the original Barbarian Camel Tribe.
As for income, because there is a buffer zone and trading with Dayong, it will only increase.
With the resources swindled from the Seventh Prince, two years would be enough for Tianwang Village to undergo a tremendous transformation.
Lu Yuan planned to invest his money once the academy started making money.
If we can train an iron cavalry force comparable to the Imperial Guard, even if the number of people is not too large, just over 100,000, it will be of great help in the battle two years from now.
Looking out at the sky, it's already late at night.
He lay down fully clothed, preparing to rest.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, when Lu Yuan walked out of the courtyard...
Wu Han was already waiting outside: "Chief, the Seventh Prince's envoy made a round trip overnight and has been waiting outside for almost an hour now."
Lu Yuan nodded. It seemed that the Seventh Prince was truly anxious; otherwise, he would never have acted this way.
That's good, at least we won't run out of supplies in the future.
By flattening the buffer zone, we can seize a lot of cultivation resources. With the Seventh Prince's supply, we can also support ourselves. In two years, we should be able to build a powerful army.
The people of Tianwang Village are all desperate criminals who have been living on the edge of death for many years. As long as they have enough resources to support them and allow them to break through, they can quickly become a formidable force.
"Let him go to the front hall," Lu Yuan replied, and then walked towards the front courtyard.
When they entered the main hall, the Seventh Prince's envoy was already waiting there.
Upon seeing Lu Yuan, a fawning smile appeared on his face, and he immediately said, "Chief, from now on we are family. His Highness has agreed to all your requests."
This is His Highness's token; having this will make things much easier for you in the Great Yong Dynasty.
As he spoke, he took out a jade pendant.
Wu Han took the package and presented it to Lu Yuan. The latter examined it for a moment, then chuckled and said, "Alright, when will the first batch of supplies arrive?"
This is exactly what Lu Yuan wanted most.
The envoy smiled and said, "His Highness has already thought of this. The initial three million Body Tempering Pills are on their way. His Highness's intention is to first upgrade all the soldiers in the camp to the Body Tempering level."
This laid the foundation for the next attack on other villages.
As long as you achieve some results, you will receive more resources in the future, definitely no less than this, and even more.
There are plenty of basic elixirs for those below the True Essence level.
Over the years, the Seventh Prince has accumulated a considerable fortune, but unfortunately, the forces he has secretly cultivated under his command cannot develop, and he has nothing to spend.
Moreover, he was very ambitious and hoped to cultivate an army comparable to the Imperial Guard outside the capital.
Therefore, resources were purchased at almost no cost. There were hundreds of alchemists employed in the mansion alone, which was also the result of Emperor Yong's secret support.
Otherwise, he alone couldn't have done it.
Even so, it must be said that the wealth of Dayong was something that the Northern Barbarians might not be able to achieve.
Lu Yuan toyed with the token: "Your Highness, when do you intend to launch an attack on other forces?"
"The sooner the better, of course. Recently, the First Prince and the Third Prince have been very arrogant, constantly provoking Your Highness."
"Alright, I'll send troops tomorrow. Our target is the First Prince's Ice Mirror Lake, but besides Body Tempering Pills, we'll also need a large number of Bone Forging Pills."
"If we can conquer Ice Mirror Lake, Your Highness, please make preparations."
"Don't worry, Chieftain, there's no problem at all," the messenger quickly replied.
However, he immediately frowned and said, "However, Ice Mirror Lake is quite powerful now. According to Your Highness, you want to send some strong people over to help you."
We've been in contact with several experts, and if all goes well, recruiting one or two Divine Essence cultivators shouldn't be a problem.
Lu Yuan shook his head: "I can't wait any longer. The news of my cooperation with the Seventh Prince will soon spread throughout the entire buffer zone. At that time, the First Prince and the Third Prince, who are already at odds with Tianwang Village, will definitely send troops."
If we wait for them to attack, we'll be in an even more passive position.
As for expert support, Tianwang Village doesn't need it right now, so Your Highness needn't trouble yourself.
The envoy's expression instantly turned ugly, because what Lu Yuan said was very likely true. Although the connection between the two sides was quite secretive, nothing stays hidden forever.
Whether it's the Seventh Prince's residence or this Heavenly King Village, there might be spies from the two princes.
The main population base is too large.
Therefore, he immediately said, "Chief, I will go back and report to the Seventh Prince. Don't worry about this matter. His Highness values Tianwang Village very much and will definitely not let anything happen here."
The medicine should arrive this afternoon.
My name is Sun Tao, and I will be responsible for liaison between Your Highness and you from now on.
His Highness said he would invite you to meet if he has time.
Lu Yuan let out a hearty laugh: "Alright, I'll be ready to accept the Seventh Prince's invitation anytime."
Sun Tao nodded and then went downstairs.
His strength is at the Innate Realm, and he is proficient in a divine speed technique, sometimes even faster than Yu Xu. (Exploring fantasy novel categories)
After listening to Lu Yuan's analysis, he did not hesitate and immediately headed towards Huangsha City.
After he left, Lu Yuan glanced down and said, "Wu Han, inform the brothers to set off at midnight tonight and launch a surprise attack on Ice Mirror Lake first thing tomorrow morning, to give them a heavy blow first."
The rest of the battle will be much easier.
Actually, there was one more thing Lu Yuan didn't say.
That means giving the Seventh Prince some incentives so that he can get resources.
"Yes, sir!"
Wu Han quickly replied.
Then, at Lu Yuan's signal, everyone left the main hall, leaving only Wu Han in the room.
Lu Yuan stood up, turned his back, and said calmly, "Tianwang Village will immediately establish a self-inspection department in secret. You will be in charge. This time, we are openly pledging allegiance to the Seventh Prince, but it is possible that some people will be tempted."
If such a sign appears, kill it immediately.
In this place, there can only be one person's voice.
You need to find the right balance.
"Yes, I know. I will be careful and will definitely not let Tianwang Village fall into the control of the Seventh Prince," Wu Han said respectfully.
"Well, I will try my best to find some experts to help you in the next two years. I hope you can raise your strength to the Divine Origin Realm," Lu Yuan said calmly.
"I'll do my best," Wu Han said through gritted teeth.
Although his current cultivation level has reached the Innate Realm and is not far from the Void Control Realm, the higher the realm, the more difficult it is to break through.
This is why there are so few experts.
Lu Yuan turned around and glanced at him: "It's not about trying your best, it's about having to, because only by reaching the Divine Origin Realm will it be easier to operate at that time and give you enough status in Dayong."
Remember this, this is definitely an opportunity for us.
In short, we must improve your cultivation level.
"Yes, I will definitely improve my cultivation level," Wu Han said.
"How is Zhou He?" Lu Yuan asked softly after arranging everything.
"He's quite comfortable. He's currently serving as the Captain of the Icefield Pass, while General Zhou is in charge of the Northern Patrol Army and is now the General of the Northern Patrol Army. I heard he'll soon be granted the title of Marquis of the Border."
What happened to you back then didn't affect them.
"That's good. Before I go back this time, I'll find some time to meet with Zhou He and have him inform the Northern Patrol General." Lu Yuan sat down and took a sip of tea.
The image of Zhou Hongling with red eyes flashed through my mind.
"Mm." Wu Han nodded.
After arranging these things, Lu Yuan waved his hand: "Alright, you can go and make the arrangements now."
Wu Han responded and withdrew.
Lu Yuan also got up and walked out of the main hall, wandering around the village.
Observe the changes now.
When evening came, I had dinner with my mother.
He returned to the courtyard, put on his armor, and prepared to set off.
Ice Mirror Lake is not far from Tianwang Village; a cavalry raid could reach it in just a few hours.
It would be difficult to break through them in one go, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem to inflict a heavy blow on them.
Just as Lu Yuan and his men were preparing to send out their troops.
In the Seventh Prince's residence in Huangsha City, the main hall was brightly lit.
The seventh prince, sitting in the head seat, looked very unpleasant.
Because the First Prince and the Third Prince already knew that Tianwang Village was secretly receiving his support.
Moreover, preparations have already begun to mobilize troops to launch an attack on Tianwangzhai.
Inside the palace, the two princes had actually agreed to come together.
The reason for this was that they had agreed to join forces and destroy Tianwang Village first.
After all, the princes knew that the seventh prince was favored by Emperor Yong and had received a lot of resources this time.
They don't receive that kind of treatment.
If Tianwangzhai is given time to develop, it will surely become a major threat in the future.
The best approach is to deal with the other side first, and then let the eldest prince and the third prince settle their differences.
The two princes were worried that the seventh prince would recruit experts from outside, so they arrived early, ostensibly to drink, but actually to keep the seventh prince occupied for three days.
He waited for his men to destroy Tianwang Village.
The Seventh Prince sat above, his mind uneasy. The forces he had secretly supported had been scattered. If Tianwang Village were to be destroyed as well, he would truly have to withdraw.
The two princes are indeed powerful, both having divine essences to protect them.
The combined forces there are far more troops than those at Tianwangzhai.
He was naturally anxious.
Therefore, after taking a sip of wine, he forced a smile and said, "My two royal brothers, I have some matters to attend to and must take my leave first. You two can continue drinking here; I'll be right back."
After saying that, he was about to stand up.
However, at this moment, a middle-aged man with a square face below slowly said, "Seventh Brother, it has been a while since we last met."
You've been away for a while now, and we finally met in northern Xinjiang. My third brother and I came to keep you company. Why are you leaving so soon?
"Does Seventh Brother really not want to see us?" After saying that, he actually raised his sleeve and wiped away his tears.
Then, he gave a wink.
A child sitting next to him, the eldest prince's youngest son, suddenly stood up and ran towards the seventh prince, tugging at his sleeve and saying, "Seventh Uncle, Seventh Uncle, your nephew missed you. Please don't go!"
After saying that, her little mouth twitched, and she was about to cry.
For a moment, the Seventh Prince was unable to move, standing rooted to the spot.
The only option was to sit down again.
But his face had turned ashen.
As time passed, the lights in the hall remained on.
Each of them had their own thoughts.
Meanwhile, Lu Yuan was already leading his army toward Ice Mirror Lake.
This time, a total of 200,000 troops were mobilized.
This included 50,000 cavalrymen who entered the country.
They were wearing heavy armor.
It roared as it ran.
Lu Yuan took the lead, wearing a bronze mask.
He was wearing dark gold iron armor.
He exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay.
After traveling all night, they finally arrived at the edge of Ice Mirror Lake just as dawn was breaking.
This is a pretty good place.
The entire camp was built around a giant lake, with tall walls enclosing the entire lake.
In addition to the city and its surrounding areas, there are three camps on the outskirts.
These three camps, which form a strategic defensive position and number approximately 100,000, are Lu Yuan's target this time.
He stood at the front of the army and glanced at the buildings surrounding Ice Mirror Lake.
Beneath the mask, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He said calmly, "Prepare for the attack."
If they can swallow up this army of 100,000 this time, it will be a heavy blow to Ice Mirror Lake, and the Seventh Prince will probably have to pay a price.
Wu Han turned to the army and shouted, "Charge!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he led his army out as the first to charge.
Just then, the anxious Seventh Prince looked at the First Prince and the others and said, "Brothers, it's getting late. Shouldn't we rest first?"
"Hehe, Seventh Brother, why the rush? It's not easy to meet you now. I'm planning to drink with you for days on end. This is only the first day," the First Prince said with a smile.
The seventh prince, on the other hand, looked increasingly grim.
However, at this moment, a figure ran in from outside the hall. This person was the eldest prince's attendant. As soon as he entered, he whispered in the prince's ear: "Your Highness, we have just received news that Ice Mirror Lake has been attacked by Heavenly King Village. The two sides' troops have already clashed."
Upon hearing the report, a look of surprise instantly appeared in the eldest prince's eyes.
"Da da!"
Sun Tao also entered at this moment and whispered in the Seventh Prince's ear: "Your Highness, we have just received a report from the scouts who are lingering near Tianwang Village."
Last night, Tianwangzhai mobilized its troops overnight. Led by its chieftain, they launched a surprise attack on Ice Mirror Lake early this morning. Should we connect to the Mirror of Illumination?
The seventh prince was startled upon receiving this news, and then became somewhat worried.
After all, he had been terrified of the First Prince during this period in the buffer zone, and the forces he supported were almost constantly being chased and attacked by the other side.
Now that I hear that Tianwangzhai has taken the initiative to attack Bingjinghu, the first thing that comes to mind is what will happen if they lose?
In an instant, he became increasingly anxious.
But before he could speak, the eldest prince below said with a smile, "Seventh brother, someone has just launched an attack on Ice Mirror Lake."
I wonder how things are going. Shall we take a look together?
He was clearly confident in Ice Mirror Lake, after all, they had always had the upper hand in the previous battles against Tianwang Village.
Therefore, without waiting for the Seventh Prince's response, he waved his hand and directly activated the dazzling mirror.
Scenes from the battlefield are depicted inside the main hall.
This drew everyone's attention.
