Chapter 346
346 Chaohe Jindan
Lu Chaohe would definitely just laugh it off when he heard his elder brother’s words.
Seeing how busy his elder brother was, Lu Chaohe clearly did not want to be the Emperor. Wouldn’t it be great to return to the Feiyun state, cultivate well, and occasionally take care of the family’s situation?
However, after he returned, he didn’t even have two good days before he immediately became extremely busy.
The cause of all this was a piece of news from the Xue state.
The Grand Elder of the White sun sect, sun Zhanghai, sent a message that the White ghouls were coming south again.
Sun Zhanghai was skilled in the art of divination. As a local golden core cultivator of the Xue state, he had always been monitoring the White ghouls in the northern wilderness. Every time the White ghouls were about to head south, sun Zhanghai would be able to receive the news a few years in advance.
This time was no exception.
According to sun Zhanghai’s estimation, the White ghouls ‘large-scale invasion to the South would take three and a half years.
In fact, it was almost time. It had been 45 years since the White ghouls went south. It was true that the White ghouls only went south on a large scale for about 50 years.
Even though the Xue state and the Feiyun state had to fight against the White ghouls every few decades, they were already very familiar with it and could even be considered to be very familiar with it. However, this matter still made everyone nervous.
Every time the White ghouls went south, it was a huge disaster for the Xue state, which he could not overcome. He needed the full support of the Qingfeng sect in the Feiyun state to survive. The many cultivator forces in the Feiyun state also understood the principle of mutual dependence, so they would spare no effort in supporting him every time.
This time, it was no doubt the same.
It had only been a short while since the cultivators of the Feiyun state had formed an Army to go south. In two years, they had to go north to fight the White ghouls. It was indeed tough.
However, the White ghouls went south periodically and were relatively strong. Everyone was more or less mentally prepared for this.
Moreover, the fight against the White ghouls this time was not just a matter of the Xue state and the Feiyun state.
The Lu clan had become the Yan Dynasty’s imperial family. Lu chaoxi was the Emperor, and the Northern Territory was seen as the Lu clan’s base and lair. The Imperial court would not be able to ignore this matter like it had been in the past and let the Two Lands resolve it on their own.
When the news reached Lu chaoxi, Lu chaoxi made it clear to his younger brother that he would definitely dispatch the Army of cultivators to the Northern Territory to fight against the White ghouls. In addition, the support of various resources would also not be lacking.
The pressure on him suddenly increased.
Time was running out.
In the South, in Yan city, the Lu clan had to restore the power of the Imperial court as much as possible within two to three years. Otherwise, it would be difficult to even protect themselves, let alone help up north.
At the same time, the two states in the North would not be able to send reinforcements to the South in the future due to the pressure from the White ghouls.
This was an unprecedented difficult period.
However, there might be some opportunities hidden within.
For example, he could bring the Xue state into the Lu family’s sphere of influence.
From Lu Qing’s perspective, this was a step that the Lu clan had to take.
There were no other practical factors. The most important point was that Lu Qing had already seen the requirement for the clan to be raised to 6-star:
In conclusion, there were three points.
One, deep control over three states.
Two, the number of golden core cultivators that could be directly deployed could reach more than ten.
Third, the strongest force in the family must be above the original level.
As for the first point, the Lu family had only managed to complete one-third of it. The only state that could be considered to be under the Lu family’s control was the Feiyun state.
However, this was a relatively easier goal to achieve. Ji Prefecture and Jin Prefecture were the traditional regions under the Imperial court’s rule. The Imperial court’s influence in these two prefectures was very deep, and there were no powerful sects in these two prefectures. Some local families were also completely integrated into the system of the Imperial court.
Yunxiao sect did not have any thoughts of expanding outward. They only wanted to eat the offerings from the Imperial court and be done with it. As long as the Lu family had a deep control over the Imperial court and used it to rebuild their Foundation of rule, the two states would naturally be under the Lu family’s control.
In addition, the Xue state was also an important place.
Originally, the Xue state had been controlled by the White sun sect, the Qing you Valley, and the Gongsun family. Due to the poverty of the Xue state and the fact that white ghouls would travel south every 50 to 60 years, they were very dependent on the Feiyun state in the South. The three famous sects could even be considered vassals of the Qingfeng sect. Of course, they were more like nominal vassals, but in reality, they were more like allies.
But no matter what, with this relationship and the fact that Xue Zhou was also the territory of the Yan Kingdom, the Imperial court could also exert its power in name. If they did both, the Lu clan would gain direct control of the Xue Prefecture. It would be easier than taking care of the Ji and Jin prefectures in the South.
Therefore, to Lu Qing, controlling the snow state was something that he had to do on the path of the Lu clan’s development.
The combined power of the three sects, with the exception of the high-level cultivators who were slightly weaker, was more than half of the Qingfeng sect. The three sects together could gather about 20000 cultivators, excluding the unaffiliated cultivators. Even if the quality was not as good as the Qingfeng sect, they were definitely much stronger than the average unaffiliated cultivator.
This force would be a great supplement to the Lu family’s situation.
As for the second point of upgrading to a six-star family, which was to directly produce more than ten golden core cultivators, it was actually not that difficult for the Lu family to complete.
What needed to be mentioned here was that the Golden elixir that could be concocted was not the same as the Golden elixir of the Lu family. It was very difficult for the Lu family to cultivate ten golden core cultivators. It wasn’t that it was impossible, but the time required was too long.
However, it was another matter to be able to use it. For example, the Qingfeng sect’s Zhenren yunxuan and hai Sande were also included in the system’s statistics.
If this was the case, then this matter was quite easy to handle.
There was still a golden core cultivator in the Imperial court. This man was called Dou Zhu, and he was a cultivator from a middle-class clan in the Jin province. He had become an official in the Imperial court long ago. As his cultivation level increased, his status also increased. In the turmoil of the past, Dou Zhu did not die, nor did he get involved in the struggle for imperial power. He had always been very honest.
He was the main target of Lu chaoxi’s side. Furthermore, it seemed like he was quite cooperative.
Thinking about it, when the Lu family’s prestige grew and their ruling Foundation became deeper, Dou Zui’s heart would be in sight.
Wasn’t that six?
And the Xue state still had two gold core cultivators. In addition to sun Zhang hai, a female elder from the Gongsun family named Gongsun Qian had also advanced to the Golden core stage a few years ago.
In total, there were eight golden core cultivators.
In the future, he only needed to cultivate two more golden core cultivators and the goal of ten golden core cultivators would be achieved.
This wasn’t too difficult, as the Lu family didn’t lack golden core cultivators. Lu Chaohe was the closest one among them. He might even be able to break through to the Golden core realm before the White ghouls went south.
However, compared to these two requirements, the last requirement to upgrade to a 6-star family seemed to be more difficult.
To cultivate a nascent soul cultivator.
Of course, Lu Qing was already a nascent soul realm cultivator. However, the system did not count him in.
This was very difficult.
Currently, among the Jindan cultivators that the Lu clan could deploy, hai Sande had the highest cultivation. However, it was obvious that hai Sande did not have the potential for further development. It was basically impossible to count on him to enter the nascent Soul Stage.
The ones with real potential were the few from the Lu family.
Li Yanling didn’t receive many gifts from Lu Qing. She only received divine abilities. Her talent was relatively average. However, she still had hope of receiving more support in the future. In comparison, mingchao and chaoxi, who were more promising, were very talented. However, the two of them had only entered the Golden core stage for a short period of time. Although they were strong in all aspects, their cultivation was still at the first-stage golden core stage.
However, other than the three of them, Lu Qing did not have anyone else he could count on.
it’s hard to deal with, Zhenzhen. Lu Qing scratched his head.
Although the task was very difficult, he thought about it carefully. As long as these goals were achieved and his family was promoted to six stars, then according to the system’s usual practice, his resurrection progress would be greatly improved. He might even be able to move freely in the entire Yan country.
If that was the case, he would really be very close to being ‘resurrected’ in the true sense.
There was a long way to go, but he really had to take this path!
“I still have to find a way to give my sons, daughters, and daughter-in-law more and more impressive-looking cheongsam.”
……
Lu Chaohe’s achievement of the Golden core was not just for show.
When he learned that the White ghouls were coming to the South, he also felt that the pressure his family would face would be great, and he dared not slack off.
Therefore, he cultivated for a few days in the mystic realm outside the starry sky to warm up. Then, he entered the spirit gathering holy temple without hesitation and began a ten-year cultivation career.
After ten years of cultivation, he could feel that his cultivation base had been thoroughly polished. His condition was better than ever and he was only one step away from a breakthrough.
The materials that his family had prepared for him to break through were all present. In the spirit gathering holy temple, he had also finished refining the external elixir that was at the peak of level three. Now, he was only one step away from Jindan.
After leaving spirit gathering holy temple, he immediately prepared to break through.
Of course, Lu Qing had always paid attention to his son.
After Lu Chaohe officially started to break through, Lu Qing was not stingy. He gave Lu Chaohe a four-star rare item to help him break through the bottleneck so that he could help.
In the end, Lu Chaohe lived up to his father and family’s expectations and achieved a breakthrough.
When he came out of seclusion, the entire Yuyan mountain shook, but he did not cause any damage to the buildings.
This was only the phenomenon of cultivators with earth spiritual roots breaking through.
At this point, Lu Chaohe had become the fourth golden core cultivator of the Lu clan.
