To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 902: Chapter 380 Gathering Two Qi_3 Chapter 902: Chapter 380 Gathering Two Qi_3 The commotion and storm outside did not disturb the tranquility of Tianluo Mountain.

After Lu Yuan had made a breakthrough in cultivating both immortal and martial paths, he became considerably more laid-back.

Besides absorbing the abundant spiritual energy within Tianluo Mountain that was several times richer than the outside world to aid his cultivation day by day,
what remained was to take Lan Cai’er and the Spiritual woman, along with two children, He’er and Hao’er, to roam the mountains and waters, admire the scenery and recite poetry—it was truly a time of great enjoyment.

In his spare moments, he would also take the time to practice the spells and supernatural powers that gather the two levels of energy (Qi).

Upon reaching the stage of Gathering Two Qi in the Taiping Dao Book, three more spells and one divine power were added.

The three spells were respectively named the Golden Blade Technique, Gather Soldiers Technique, and Golden Armor Technique.

The divine power was called Turn Beans into Soldiers.

The Golden Blade Technique, as its name implies, allowed one to condense the Golden Qi and use magic power to unleash an incredibly sharp golden blade that could break through anything and was an excellent killing technique.

The Gather Soldiers Technique was about learning the corresponding soldiers’ runes and then activating them with magic power to conjure various weapons out of thin air, no less real than the original, and could be seen as an advanced version of Gather Qi into Blades.

The Golden Armor Technique was a defensive spell that could form a layer of golden armor outside oneself or others to shield oneself.

The divine power Turn Beans into Soldiers was related to the Yellow Turban Strongman and was an advanced version of it.

Previously, to create a Yellow Turban Strongman, Lu Yuan needed to prepare materials and then inscribe runes on each piece before assembling a complete Yellow Turban Strongman.

Going through each step, even if one wanted to make a single strongman, it would take at least ten days to half a month, extremely time-consuming.

Whereas Turn Beans into Soldiers omitted the step of inscribing runes on the Yellow Turban Strongman.

Once a cultivator mastered this divine power, they would naturally grasp the runes of the strongman.

Then, they would simply need to choose the material, and with a thought, the already mastered Yellow Turban Strongman runes could instantly be inscribed on the material, transforming it into a soldier.

What previously took ten days to half a month to make, with this divine power, could now be conjured in an instant, making it incredibly convenient.

And it wasn’t just a matter of saving time.

The Dao soldiers condensed by divine power runes required even less of Lu Yuan’s divine thoughts.

If originally inscribing a Yellow Turban Strongman consumed three parts of his divine thoughts,
now, just one part of divine thought could conjure a Dao soldier.

Of course, there are corresponding trade-offs.

With Turn Beans into Soldiers divine power, the amount of divine thought needed is reduced,
but accordingly, the intelligence of the Dao soldiers also declines.

They could only execute basic commands, possess combat instincts, and make some elementary logical judgments, incapable of complex emotions or normal communication with people.

They could not function like Huang Xuan and Qingyunzi, who could carry out a variety of complex orders and even command an army, indistinguishable from an avatar.

Of course, at the time of creation, Lu Yuan could also choose to infuse more divine thought to make these conjured Dao soldiers as intelligent as Huang Xuan or those on a similar level, so they could carry out more complex orders.

However, this would greatly reduce the number of Dao soldiers he could create.

And it would impact his fighting strength significantly.

So, although the technique could mass produce high-end combat forces to enrich one’s manpower and solve the dilemma of a lack of enforcers,
its disadvantages were also significant.

The choice of how to balance this was a matter of personal discretion.

However, Lu Yuan’s choice was to directly recall Huang Xuan and Qingyunzi and then upgrade these two avatars anew.

With the Gathering Two Qi stage, the upper limit of strength of the Yellow Turban Strongman he could create was further raised.

While previously he could only create Yellow Turban Strongmen at the normal Innate level, now he could elevate them to the Grandmaster realm, the realm of Gathering One Qi.

This was quite normal.

After all, now that he had reached the stage of Gathering Two Qi, to deal with opponents at the same level with those lower-level Innate Yellow Turban Strongmen, which would be a hundredfold less powerful, would be futile.

To put it bluntly, they couldn’t even break through the defenses of an opponent at the same level.

To be effective at this stage, at the very least, they must have the strength of Gathering One Qi to pose a threat to opponents on the same level.

Although in the current Nine Provinces world, Lu Yuan had no opponents on the same level, it did not prevent him from upgrading his avatars to enhance their strength.

So, after spending a few days, he upgraded Huang Xuan and Qingyunzi.

Based on the fourfold increase in his divine soul after his breakthrough in both immortal and martial paths, he also conjured up four more avatars with the same level of intelligence, named Huang Yun, Huang Lin, Qingxuanzi, and Qingsongzi.

Well, from the style of the names, one can see that these are new avatars, still following the style of Huang Xuan and Qingyunzi, focusing on defense and attack respectively, differentiated by their names.

But by doing this, the trick with Huang Xuan and Qingyunzi was almost impossible to hide.

The names of the six individuals and their unique cultivator identity could lead many to speculate and guess some truths.

But Lu Yuan no longer cared about this.

With his current strength, he was untouchable by anyone else in the world, and to say he was Unrivaled in the World was no exaggeration.

With such power in the Nine Provinces world, he could protect any secret.

He did not need to worry about exposure anymore, attracting covetous glances from others.

If others found out, so be it—what could they do to him?

In fact, partially revealing this secret could still serve to intimidate and frighten others into submission, indirectly strengthening Lu Yuan’s prestige.

It turned out to be a good thing.

After creating the new avatars, Lu Yuan let Huang Xuan lead the two Xiaoqing, and Qingyunzi lead the two Xiao Huang, back to their respective defensive regions.

The major affairs of Jiangdong were then swiftly entrusted to his six avatars.

The country’s important matters were left to his good friend Sun Siwen.

He himself, happily played the role of an inept ruler, accompanying his beautiful wife and children to roam the mountains and waters of Tianluo Mountain, carefree and at ease.

He found such joy here that he had no thoughts of the matters of Chu.
