To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 137: Chapter 116: Future Planning

Translator: 549690339

First of all, let’s not talk about the perfect match between the Tiejian Sword Technique and the Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra.

Without the Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra, the strongest strength of Iron Sword Sect would at most only be half a step away from the top tier, similar to Lu

Yuan.

There won’t be a significant gap in strength between the two sides.

Furthermore, the Iron Sword Sect is in a vulnerable state after internal conflicts, with the death of several second-rate martial artists and hundreds of disciples, greatly damaging their vitality.

Looking at the entire Jianghu, Lu Yuan could not think of any other top-tier sect weaker than the Iron Sword Sect.

Who else would he squeeze if not such a soft persimmon?

“However, even if it’s a soft persimmon, it’s still a bit difficult for me to squeeze it now.”

Lu Yuan’s heart was moved, but he suppressed his restlessness.

Even though the Iron Sword Sect has become a soft persimmon, they still have a half-step top-tier expert. And no matter how much the sect declines, there would still be several, or even more than ten second-rate experts that they can rely on.

Moreover, there are still hundreds of disciples.

With Lu Yuan’s current strength, it’s hard to say who would be the one getting squeezed if he goes to challenge them.

He wants to find surprises, not to give surprises to others.

“So, I can’t make a move yet. I need to stabilize first. Wait until my strength becomes stronger and finish the entire Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra before attempting to seize the Tiejian Sword Technique.”

Lu Yuan’s determination was strong. As a cultivator of longevity, what he did not lack was time and patience.

At the same time, he also realized some of his shortcomings.

“As a top-tier martial artist, even if only half a step away, I should try to establish my own force now.”

Lu Yuan understood this in his heart.

If he had a powerful force under his command, he could directly attack the Iron Sword Sect and forcefully snatch their sword technique, instead of being careful about getting besieged when he visits them.

Apart from this, having a large force could help Lu Yuan earn money, gather cultivation resources, and handle trivial yet time-consuming tasks on his behalf.

“Perhaps I can start recruiting subordinates now. The 500 soldiers under my command would be good candidates.

I can try to select suitable ones from them and teach them martial arts.

As for daily management, I don’t have to worry about it. I can leave it all to

Xiaoqing, it won’t take up much of my time.”

Lu Yuan thought about it carefully and decided that the plan was quite good, so he firmly decided to start implementing it in the next few days.

Of course.

Although he mentioned teaching martial arts, he would naturally not teach the top-secret Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra.

Even the second-rate Cloud Palm would not be casually taught. It would only be given as a reward, divided into three parts according to the first to third layer of the technique and offered to meritorious subordinates.

As for the third-rate techniques he had recently collected, they could be directly bestowed.

In a short while, Lu Yuan had figured out a plan for encouraging and training his subordinates.

Just like stealing the Iron Sword Sect’s techniques, training subordinates also requires a lot of time and patience.

Thus, these plans won’t be of much help in increasing Lu Yuan’s strength for now.

“So, stealing techniques is not an option… should I create my own set of moves instead?”

After ruling out the first option, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought as he looked at the second option.

Creating martial arts techniques is not that simple.

In Jianghu, all martial arts techniques have their own lineage and origin.

Every technique, even if it’s just of the third-class, has gone through the arduous efforts of its creators and the continuous trial and error of its inheritors. Predecessors have used themselves as test subjects for decades or even centuries, with countless people dying or suffering severe injuries, before a complete and refined third-class technique can be created.

And this is just for third-class techniques.

If it’s the more profound second-class techniques, the exploration of the human meridians becomes more complicated, requiring further trial and error, and thus, more people to die.

Moreover, when it comes to second-class techniques, martial arts begin to delve into the mysterious realm of the spirit, focusing on the cultivation of one’s spiritual state.

Some people with insufficient spiritual realm would have difficulty understanding the artistic conception of techniques and cultivating them to advanced levels.

If they force themselves to cultivate, they may be affected by the techniques, either causing drastic changes in their personality or turning them into madmen.

It is precisely because of these risks that Lu Yuan decided to read Taoist classics when he first started learning martial arts, aiming to improve his own spiritual realm.

It takes a lot of effort to practice an already complete second-class martial art.

Thus, one can only imagine the hardships and dangers involved in the creation of a second -class martial art by the predecessors.

Countless deaths and insane people would be inevitable.

Without these sacrifices, there would be no perfected and controllable martial arts today.

These repeated explorations, trial and error, and starting anew would inevitably consume time, usually measured in centuries.

Creating second-class and third-class martial arts is extremely difficult, let alone even higher-class techniques and Inborn martial arts, which are even more dangerous and difficult to cultivate.

One could say that any sect with a first-class martial arts inheritance has a history of hundreds of years.

Inborn martial arts can only be acquired by sects that have existed for a thousand years.

“So, creating martial arts techniques is not impossible for me. But the time it would take would probably be longer than simply stealing a first-class technique by several times.”

Lu Yuan recalled the various challenges in creating martial arts and finally shook his head, giving up the idea.

He would consider creating martial arts, but not at the moment.

Right now, his priority was to quickly enhance his strength and achieve the title of Unrivaled in the World.

After that, when he had exhausted all possibilities under the existing conditions, he would consider integrating all his knowledge to create an even more powerful and suitable Divine Skill.

The path of creating martial arts techniques is temporarily unavailable.

Lu Yuan didn’t dwell on it for too long and quickly moved on.

However, for him, even without a matching set of first-class techniques, the current Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra he was cultivating would be enough to last him for a while.

He has now reached the seventh layer of this mental technique, and there are still two more layers and three meridians to be cultivated.

It would take at least four or five years for him to cultivate these bizarre meridians.

“According to the current situation in Da Yue, by the time I finish cultivating these meridians, it might be the Declining Years of the Dynasty.”

Lu Yuan had a pessimistic outlook for Da Yue’s future, so he anticipated, “When chaos arises in the world, various opportunities will emerge. Old powers will be reshuffled, and new forces will rise.

Perhaps by then, a first-class sect would decline, or even collapse entirely, leaving their martial arts techniques to be scattered and obtained by others.”

At that time, perhaps he wouldn’t need to put in much effort, and the techniques would come to him on their own accord.”

The odds were quite high.

Take the recent example of the Iron Sword Sect. Didn’t they decline in strength due to internal strife, causing their supreme heart techniques to be leaked and eventually benefiting Lu Yuan?

With such a personal experience, it’s no wonder he started to have high hopes..
