To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 574: Chapter 271: Taoist Temple in the South Country

Under the cover of night, they returned to Qingyun View, and Qi Yun was naturally delighted to see his disciple return.

Master and apprentice talked for a long time until midnight, and then they retired to their rooms.

The next morning, after completing their morning lessons with his apprentice, Kong Zhuo told his master about his recent experiences and mentioned the turmoil in various parts of Chu State in the past few months. Qi Yun couldn’t help but feel emotional.

“When I first met Taoist Lu years ago, both your father and I were amazed to find out that he had the foundation of an Immortal and the seed of a divine being.

Indeed, it turned out to be true.

Lu Yuan has comprehended the various Taoist Classics, and his progress was rapid. Within a few years, he caught up with our realms of me and Friend Kong.

At that time, I thought that there would be another True Immortal in our Daoist Path and another Dao Inheritance.

Unfortunately, later on, Lu Yuan had to help his friend take up his post, so he had to give up his leisurely life in the wilderness and joined the army, entering the battlefield of warfare.

It was not until later when he suppressed the Seven Stars Rebellion and returned to Qingyun View that I realized he had become a pillar of Dongting.

Afterwards, Lu Yuan rose step by step, first becoming the King of Changsha, and now the King of Chu, ruling over three provinces and a state.

The war and chaos in Dongting were also gradually resolved by him.

In recent years, with Lu Yuan’s governance, Chu State has flourished in all industries, the population has gradually increased, and I originally thought that a peaceful and prosperous age would come, allowing the people to live in peace and happiness.

Although our Daoist Path has lost an Immortal talent, there is now a wise ruler in the world, which is also of immeasurable merit.

But now, the war has started again, and the provinces are in chaos. I wonder when this turmoil will come to an end.”

After lamenting for a while, Qi Yun sighed, “Although I know that during this era of great contention, all countries are constantly reforming and strengthening themselves to gain more power through war, it is only natural for Chu State to do so as well in order to survive.

However, seeing the chaos rising in Dongting again, even as an outsider, I can’t help but worry.

If someone were to truly disrupt the region, countless lives would be lost, and souls would return to Huangquan.”

Although he was a Taoist, Qi Yun didn’t pay too much attention to the affairs at the foot of the mountain because of his nature.

Not even knowing about the turmoil that had arisen in the past few months.

But even as a hermit, he occasionally needed to go down the mountain to purchase daily necessities.

Therefore, he could see the changes in Dongting over the past few years.

He had witnessed the transformation of the villages and towns below the mountain, from their previous war-torn state with a dwindling population to their current bustling glory, with thriving households, peaceful livelihoods, and lush vegetation.

It was precisely because of these changes and the peace they brought that he didn’t want everything to return to the way it was ten years ago.

The people suffer from wars, but can they be blamed?

Even though he had sympathy in his heart, Qi Yun was still an outsider, and there was little he could do to change anything, ultimately he could only sigh a few times.

Kong Zhuo, on the other hand, was trying to comfort his worried master by saying, “Master, there is no need for you to worry. On my way back, I heard news that the Grand General of Chu State, Zhou Qing, has already broken through to the Innate realm and has become a Grandmaster.

With such a Grandmaster in Chu State, the internal affairs can surely be stabilized, ensuring the safety of the people.

Those who seek to create chaos will not be able to make any waves.”

Xiaoqing?”

Upon hearing these words, Qi Yun was slightly taken aback, and he suddenly remembered the young man who had often accompanied Lu Yuan to the Taoist temple to learn scriptures more than ten years ago. Feeling emotional, he said, “That young man who used to follow Lu Yuan has now become a grandmaster.”

Thinking about this, he felt even older.

With each passing year, Qi Yun has entered old age, now at over sixty years old.

White hair had grown on his head, and although he had Inner Strength to support his body, he often felt tired. Even his memory was beginning to decline.

Facing this Heavenly Mandate and the wilting of life, the pursuit of longevity now seemed increasingly out of reach for him.

Thus, in recent years, he has shifted his main focus from cultivation and Dao seeking to passing on the Dao Inheritance and nurturing his disciple.

Never did he expect that he would spend a lifetime seeking immortality and longevity without reaping any fruit. Yet his former fellow Daoist and his disciple had both achieved longevity.

With an Innate lifespan of 150 years, it may not be everlasting, but it is far superior to that of ordinary people.

Thinking about this, Qi Yun felt a little desolate and even more bitter in his heart.

Kong Zhuo noticed the change in his master’s mood, and being with his master for ten years, he quickly understood what was happening. With a heavy heart, he quickly changed the subject, “By the way, Master, I’ve come back to participate in the Inescapable Meeting next year.

It’s my first time participating in such a prestigious event in the Daoist Path, and I don’t know what to prepare, so you have to teach me well.”

Kong Zhuo has long been looking forward to the Inescapable Meeting.

Since he was a child, he had heard his master describe the wonders of the meeting, the mysterious Immortal techniques demonstrated by the True Immortals, and the grand gathering of all great Dao Veins from the Nine Provinces to share their knowledge. Kong Zhuo had always wanted to witness it for himself.

However,

Participation in this meeting requires a person with sufficient inner strength and spiritual concentration; otherwise, it can easily unsettle the spirit, damaging the foundation of one’s Dao. If one’s cultivation is not enough, it would not be advisable to attend.

Therefore, ten years ago, Kong Zhuo couldn’t join his master, father, and Lu Yuan in that grand meeting.

But after ten years of cultivation, he has now entered the realm of the second-rate and has achieved minor success in his mental state.
