Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 81 - 76 Preparing to Leave

Game and reality interweave.

At the age of twenty, Lu Qingfeng bids farewell to his youth, stepping into young adulthood.

In the game, his fourth life in the Red Smoke Realm drew to a close amidst three hundred years of peace.

To thoroughly comprehend the Foundation Establishment Realm, Lu Qingfeng chose not to breakthrough the Foundation Establishment Stage and thus failed to ascend to the Spirit Void Realm to extend his lifespan. At the end of his three-hundred-year lifespan, he opted not to fuse with the Divine Seal of Fufeng Mountain God and instead chose reincarnation.

This life spanned an entire three hundred years.

After becoming a disciple of the Luofu Sword Sect, Lu Qingfeng's gains were tremendous, far surpassing his previous three lives.

The Luofu Heart Lamp's aid in cultivation filled Lu Qingfeng with confidence for his real-life spiritual practices.

In terms of Divine Dao, he uncovered the 'Karma Removal' feature within the Yellow Court Scripture and its application to Incense Fire, mastering the refinement of Heavenly Silver.

At the same time.

By leveraging his position as a Mountain God, Lu Qingfeng repeatedly cultivated through the four stages of Energy Introduction, Condensing Liquid, Nourishing Yuan, and Body Refining within the Foundation Establishment Period, achieving profound comprehension. If it weren't for the lack of time towards the end, he even harbored hopes of making a dash for the Spirit Void Realm.

However, Lu Qingfeng did not regret this.

With a solid foundation, advancing to the Spirit Void Realm in his next life wouldn't be too late.

Conservatively estimated, the cultivation experience from the game would suffice for Lu Qingfeng's real-life cultivation for nearly a hundred years.

"Without extraordinary encounters, and with sufficient support from Elixir Pills, given my Root Bone, it will take another two or three years to breakthrough into the True Qi Realm. From the True Qi Realm to the Energy Introduction Stage, at least two to three decades of hard work are required. Then, each of the four stages of Foundation Establishment requires at least twenty to thirty years. Some may even need forty to fifty years."

Even with conservative calculations, reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage would require a hundred years.

A hundred years in reality equal tens of thousands of years in the game.

It is enough time to do anything.

With Lu Qingfeng's Root Bone, to achieve this level around the age of one hundred is already incredibly fast. It cannot compare to geniuses, of course, but it is not far behind those with four or five points of Root Bone.

Take Wang Pan, for instance, with five points of Root Bone, it took him twenty years only to become a Foundation Establishment Practitioner.

If Lu Qingfeng were to push himself, it would only take him a few more years than Wang Pan at most.

In terms of cultivation, he can achieve a lot simply by following the established path, without worrying at least until before reaching the Spirit Void Realm.

Moreover.

During the three hundred years of his fourth life, Lu Qingfeng encountered numerous novel things and mastered a few new Magic Artifacts and Elixir refining methods.

The newly refined Ancestor Master Statues are among them.

Within each of the three statues, there resides a fist-sized true Ancestor Master Statue. It's made from special materials and refined through special methods, capable of holding vast amounts of Incense Fire Wish Power.

A statue filled with Incense Fire can refine three to five maces of Heavenly Silver.

Three hundred years in the game.

Lu Qingfeng has become a Third-rank Alchemist and a Third-rank Artifact Refiner, capable of refining Third-rank Elixirs and Third-rank Magical Artifacts, and enjoys considerable fame within the hundred thousand miles surrounding Fufeng Mountain.

Additionally.

The power of the high-level technique, Flower Walking, exceeded Lu Qingfeng's expectations, prompting him to attach greater importance to skills.

Not only did he strengthen the high-level skill, Flower Walking, to a super-level, but he also amplified Heavenly Eye Skill and Golden Light Skill to the realm of a secret technique. The former allowed Lu Qingfeng to discern the Basic Attributes and secrets of cultivators, demon beasts, ghosts, divines, and Magic Artifacts, knowing both himself and his enemy, thus remaining invincible in all battles. The latter, a defense technique, once cast, would envelop him in Golden Light, unbreakable by all methods, impervious to all evil!

Concealing Technique, Invisibility Technique, and Entanglement Skill were only upgraded to an intermediate level due to Experience Value. Even so, their strength increased manifold.

Entanglement Skill was especially handy in dense forests and swamps. With vines and vegetation entwining, it rated top-notch for trapping opponents, allowing Lu Qingfeng to secure more time to escape when deployed. With Concealing Technique and Invisibility Technique used in combination, one could deceive even the commonplace Foundation Establishment Practitioner.

Various skills, coupled with the super-level Flower Walking, would surely secure an undefeatable position for Lu Qingfeng.

In the path of cultivation, survival is paramount!

In reality, Lu Qingfeng does not need to engage in combat training, does not need to run dungeons, does not need...

Preserve life at all costs!

All experiences can be stored in the game.

"Almost there."

Lu Qingfeng closed the attribute list, murmuring to himself.

The Ancestor Master Statue refining had been completed, marking the last task for him in Upper Sun Country.

With his cultivation reaching the True Qi Realm, his cultivation progress began to slow.

Coincidentally, his game life came to an end, so Lu Qingfeng planned to use the two months of reincarnation rebirth to set off for Three Mountains and Nine Waters.

...

"What?"

"Leaving now?"

"But we haven't cleared the path through the Crying Swamp yet, have we?"

After placing the Ancestor Master Statue, Lu Qingshan returned to hear this news and was somewhat astonished.

"Indeed, it's not cleared yet. But the Destroying Truth Type 1 has already penetrated 7,300 miles into the Crying Swamp. We must set off to keep up with the progress, otherwise, we can't continue forging ahead to find a path," explained Lu Qingfeng.

He had strengthened the Thousand Machine Stone Refining Method ten times, reaching the extreme sensing distance of 22 million miles. Although it was easy to collect materials for refining ten enhanced Thousand Machine Stones in the game, it wasn't so in reality.

In more than two years, the Spider Puppets hadn't managed to gather a single set in the Crying Swamp.

Lu Qingfeng had intended to stay in Upper Sun Country until the path through the Crying Swamp was completely cleared, but now he had to set off ahead of schedule.

"But the Qingyuan Sword Sect was only recently established, and the highest cultivation among them like Zhang Bo, Ma Wenju, and Xie Tian... are only at the Seventh Layer of the Fetal Breathing Realm. If I leave, what will happen to the Qingyuan Sword Sect?"

He had invested two to three years of effort, and just as the Qingyuan Sword Sect was getting on the right track, he found it hard to let go and leave.

"Your own cultivation isn't beyond the Seventh Layer of the Fetal Breathing Realm either!"

"These past two years, your obsession with the Qingyuan Sword Sect has caused some neglect. This is a good opportunity to hand the sect over to the younger generation and focus on your cultivation."

"Otherwise, if your disciples surpass your cultivation, it wouldn't look good on you as the founding master."

Lu Qingfeng interrupted Lu Qingshan's emotions.

He had the experience from the game, so he was able to cultivate to the True Qi Realm in just four to five years.

But Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu couldn't.

Even with his continuous guidance, an abundance of Elixir Pills, and secret techniques to extract Spiritual Energy from Spirit Stones to improve their cultivation environment, they had only reached the Seventh Layer of the Fetal Breathing Realm.

Lu Qingshan was distracted by the Qingyuan Sword Sect, and his cultivation fell behind.

Lu Qingyu, carefree as she was, had caught up head-on.

Their cultivation progress was now on par.

If the situation continued, Lu Qingyu might even surpass Lu Qingshan.

One slow step in cultivation leads to slow progression at every step.

Lu Qingshan was young and naive, and Lu Qingfeng didn't dare to be careless.

Deciding to leave Upper Sun Country now was partly to free Lu Qingshan from the worldly affairs of the Qingyuan Sword Sect.

"But—"

Lu Qingshan's face turned red.

He understood the reasoning, but it was still hard for him to suddenly leave the Qingyuan Sword Sect, which he had established single-handedly.

"Big Brother!"

"Are you choosing me and Big Brother, or the Qingyuan Sword Sect?!"

Lu Qingyu, hands on hips, glared fiercely at Lu Qingshan.

Her words struck at the heart.

Lu Qingshan pursed his lips and did not dare to say anything further.

Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng smiled and set their departure for three days later.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan hurried off to sort out the affairs of the Qingyuan Sword Sect. With so many things to take care of, the three days might not be enough, and he needed to make haste.

"Humph!"

"I've long said that Second Brother is vain, but Big Brother didn't believe me."

Lu Qingyu watched her second brother's leaving figure only to turn to her elder brother with a proud tilt of her chin. In her view, Lu Qingshan's infatuation with the Qingyuan Sword Sect was due to vanity. She was different; those foolish juniors in the Qingyuan Sword Sect weren't as important to her as her big brother!

"Yes, vanity."

Lu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Lu Qingyu's face lit up with greater pride.

Three days.

Lu Qingshan had to make all the necessary arrangements for the Qingyuan Sword Sect.

Especially the various industries and the daily morning practice of paying homage to the Ancestor Master Statue in the ancestral hall. Fortunately, for now they still had Destroying Truth Type 1 to remotely monitor the situation in the Qingyuan Sword Sect, obviating the need to be fully comprehensive.

As for Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu, the preparations were much simpler.

Especially Lu Qingyu, who had collected various novel items over the years in Miao Yin City, Guangyuan County, and Dangyang County. Unwilling to part with them, she decided to take them all along. As for the cultivation resources, those were all in Lu Qingfeng's possession.

Lu Qingfeng had already been organizing what to take with him on this departure.

Firstly, there were bottles and pots of Elixir Pills.

Since he had already set the departure time, Lu Qingfeng had taken time to refine all the stockpile of herbs into Elixir Pills. These included Golden Marrow Pills, Qi Movement Powder, Qi Union Pills suited for late-stage Fetal Breathing Realm as well as early and mid-stage True Qi Realm cultivators, and Clear Mind Pills, Qi Returning Pills, and Holy Yang Pills suitable for Postnatal Realm cultivators for detoxification, recuperating Inner Breath True Qi, and healing injuries.

These were all Intermediate and Advanced Elixirs.

The quantity was immense, enough for Lu Qingfeng and the others to use for a decade.

There were also many low-level elixirs that Lu Qingfeng and the others no longer needed, so they left them behind at the Qingyuan Sword Sect.
