To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Either he would rely on his own exploration to slowly figure out the next step in his technique.

Neither could be done in a short period of time.

Therefore, Lu Yuan withdrew his time from cultivating Inner Strength, focusing more on practicing the palm, sword, and finger techniques associated with the Chi Yang Divine Skill.

However, for innate experts, the competition is more about external martial arts, and they don’t use other techniques and martial arts as often as innate martial artists do.

So, Lu Yuan just spent some time practicing these techniques every day, adding some hidden cards to his arsenal without overly investing energy.

But with his current realm, even just practicing casually, the progress of these techniques was extremely fast.

After several months of training, his palm skill was close to perfection, while his sword and finger techniques had achieved minor success, which could be considered quite fruitful.

However, compared to these achievements, the results obtained in his immortal cultivation were truly gratifying.

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Talent: Immortality]

[Age: 31]

[Realm: Innate (Chi Yang’s external body); Five Thunder Books (Initial Mana)]

[Martial Arts: Chi Yang Divine Skill (Mental Technique perfected, Palm skill perfected, Finger Technique, Sword Technique minor success)]

His gaze swept across the rows of attributes and eventually landed on the realm page of the Five Lightning Books. Seeing the specific data in the details page, Lu Yuan couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

Since he broke through the Innate realm, he had been diligently cultivating the Five Lightning Books after opening the jade slip containing them.

However, Lu Yuan had never had any experience before, and even following the instructions in the book, his cultivation was still extremely difficult.

Especially for the techniques in the Five Lightning Books, one needs to resonate Immortal Spirit Qi with thunder, and ultimately obtain Heavenly Lightning Qi for cultivation.

This step of resonating with lightning almost made him vomit blood.

First of all, one must cultivate on stormy days, let alone pick the right ones. The success rate of resonating with lightning alone was infuriatingly low.

Lu Yuan mobilized the Immortal Spirit Qi in the jade slip with his true intent and tried more than a hundred times to resonate with lightning as described in the Five Lightning Books, but all ended in failure.

Not only did this waste time, but it also consumed a lot of precious Immortal Spirit Qi, which pained him greatly.

It must be known that this Immortal Spirit Qi is used up bit by bit.

In this mortal world, they are limited.

Once wasted, they will no longer be available for future cultivation.

Fortunately, these countless failures were not in vain.

Last month, during the first rumble of winter thunder, Lu Yuan was suddenly enlightened about the wonders of resonating with lightning and successfully transformed a trace of Heavenly Lightning Qi.

He then guided the Qi into his body and cultivated his first bit of mana, which opened the Immortal Dao Gate.

Once this gate was opened, it could not be stopped.

In the past month, Lu Yuan took advantage of three stormy days to cultivate more than ten strands of Heavenly Lightning Qi, further increasing his mana.

“Now, my mana should be sufficient to perform some basic spells. However, since I’ve never practiced any spells before, I’m afraid using them directly would result in failure and waste the mana I’ve cultivated so painstakingly.”

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but feel speechless at this thought.

In the Age of Dharma Decline, cultivating immortality is indeed difficult.

Accumulating mana requires careful calculation. Practicing spells requires even more precision. One wishes to split each bit of mana into several parts for use.

Despite that, life is still quite tight.

“Forget it, before I worship the Heavenly Pillars, cultivate the Taiping Dao Book, and obtain another source of Immortal Spirit Qi, I should just focus on accumulating mana for now.

As for other spells, don’t think too much about it.

After all, I’m already an innate martial artist now. Even without spells, I may not be worse off than those cultivators who know how to use them.”

With these thoughts, Lu Yuan’s mood improved considerably.

The external body of Innate Fighters can manifest various phenomena and cover an area of ten zhang radius.

In a sense, this technique is already equivalent to divine powers and spells.

Compared to low-level spells, it is not necessarily inferior.

What’s more, the external body of Martial Arts consumes True Qi, which can be restored by martial artists with some time to recuperate.

But for cultivators who have exhausted their mana, it is unknown how much Immortal Spirit Qi they have to cultivate, and how many years and months it will take to recover.

In the Age of Dharma Decline, the constraints on cultivators are much greater than those on martial artists.

This is also the reason why Lu Yuan, despite starting his immortal cultivation, did not give up martial arts but continued to invest time and energy in it, aiming for a deeper realm.

Although the power and potential of martial arts are far less than immortal cultivation, the advantage of martial arts is its lower consumption.

In this world, having such an advantage is enough.

Therefore, apart from stormy days when Lu Yuan would practice resonating with lightning on time, he spent more time practicing martial arts on ordinary days.

He practiced various techniques and continued to study Taoist scriptures, trying to research the next level of techniques after the Innate realm.

However, this matter was destined to be lengthy. Without decades or even hundreds of years, it would be difficult to achieve any results.

But in order to achieve something in immortal cultivation, it seems that it will take decades or even hundreds of years to see any results at the current pace.

With both sides progressing slowly, Lu Yuan could only take his time and let time grind away.

Fortunately, his lifespan was long, so he didn’t have to worry about running out of time and could afford to be patient.

This year, for the people of Wuling County, whether from the Yue or Miao ethnicities, life was difficult to endure.

When the Poison Sect was still around, the Miao people had to contribute men for war, while the local Yue people had to pay money and food, being squeezed for every last drop of blood and fat.
