Qi Refining perfection? Is this really something that can be achieved in this Age of Dharma Decline?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lu was shocked again, then looked at Zuo Ci with burning eyes and asked: “Zuo Yuanfang, you didn’t come here this time to show off these things to me, did you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You must have been sent by His Majesty the King of Zou Qian to persuade me to defect to him, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“No need to ask! I have no problem here! I can lead everyone in Hanzhong to defect to His Majesty the King of Zou Qian at any time, and everything is at His Majesty’s command;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Even if His Majesty the King of Zou Qian wants me to fully cooperate in implementing the new policies in Hanzhong, I have no objection at all;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“I only hope that you, Fellow Daoist Zuo Yuanfang, can put in a good word for me in front of His Majesty the King of Zou Qian, so that I can also be loyal to him;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“I don’t ask for much, just the opportunity to obtain the Star Qi Refining Method! How about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Compared to immortality, what is a Governor of Hanzhong or a warlord? It’s not important at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zuo Ci found it funny: “Brother Brother Gongqi! You really make me not know what to say!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Your heart for the Dao is truly firm! You are really willing to abandon the foundation of Hanzhong just like that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Admirable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You guessed right. My Lord sent me this time with the intention of subduing you, Fellow Daoist Brother Gongqi, and bringing Hanzhong under his rule!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“As long as you agree, Brother Brother Gongqi, and cooperate well! Then whether it’s the Star Qi Refining Method, the Mind Visualization Method, or various precious cultivation resources, it’s all no problem!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“My Lord has a very perfect merit system;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“If you cooperate well, Fellow Daoist Brother Gongqi, you will inevitably obtain a large amount of merit, enough to make even me envious;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“With this merit, you will naturally be able to exchange for the Star Qi Refining Method, the Mind Visualization Method, and various precious cultivation resources!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You must know, there are countless good things in the Lord’s Merit Pavilion! I’m even a little envious of you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It can only be said that Zhang Lu is very lucky and very decisive.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Character determines destiny!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He is about to get rich!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Why didn’t I think of occupying a piece of territory, becoming a warlord, and then joining the Lord’s command and offering everything?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>In that way, wouldn’t I also be able to obtain so much merit?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Of course, it’s too late now.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lu’s eyes began to glow, and he couldn’t help but stand up: “Then what are we waiting for! Let’s start the handover! I’ll go arrange it now!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn’t wait for even a moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He wished he could complete the handover now, obtain the merit, and then go exchange for those good things.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Hey, hey, hey! Wait! Don’t be in such a hurry, Fellow Daoist Brother Gongqi! I haven’t finished speaking yet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zuo Ci hurriedly pulled Zhang Lu back and advised: “Things are not that simple; there are other arrangements to talk about!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Uh... ahahaha! It’s me being impatient. Brother Zuo Yuanfang, speak! Speak! I’m listening!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lu smiled sheepishly and gestured.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“You!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zuo Ci shook his head amusedly, and then detailed the agency plan to Zhang Lu.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After hearing it, Zhang Lu frowned: “In other words, because the reform of talent cultivation on the Lord’s side is not enough and still needs a few years, I cannot defect to the Lord on the surface for now, and I have to continue to stay in Hanzhong, disguised as the King of Hanzhong, and play the warlord game myself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Everything has to wait for several years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zuo Ci nodded affirmatively: “That’s right! More or less!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lu frowned: “Is there no other way? Can I resign from the position of King of Hanzhong and let the Lord arrange for someone else to be the King of Hanzhong? Or, can I pass the position to my younger brother and let him do it? What do you think, Brother Zuo Yuanfang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Well!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zuo Ci stroked his beard and smiled: “If you are willing to share more than half of this sky-high merit with your second brother, I don’t object! In any case, as long as the Lord’s task can be completed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“As for letting the Lord send someone to take your place, that is definitely not possible; other warlords would notice something wrong!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Eh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lu frowned upon hearing that he had to share more than half of the merit: “Why do I have to share the merit? Didn’t I prepare to defect to the Lord directly? My second brother replacing me is only on the surface; the Lord can arrange everything else!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“It’s not calculated like that!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zuo Ci shook his head: “The Lord has his own perfect reward and punishment system. Different positions and different tasks can also obtain corresponding merit!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“There are quite a few things to do for this follow-up plan, which also counts as a heavy responsibility. If you just throw it away and give it to your second brother, this part of the merit will naturally be counted on your second brother. Otherwise, shouldn’t he be counted for merit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Wouldn’t he be working for nothing? Wouldn’t that make the Lord’s rewards and punishments unclear? This is absolutely impossible!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Wanting benefits while also wanting to be lazy—how is that possible!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He felt that Zhang Lu was thinking a bit too beautifully.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>His second brother was unlucky to have such an older brother!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Fortunately, the rules and regulations under Su Xuan were not something Zhang Lu could break.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Uh... is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lu suddenly realized and said somewhat sheepishly: “How could I dare to let the Lord break the rules! Since that’s the case, I will take on this heavy responsibility! My second brother is not mature enough and is prone to problems, so I’d better do it myself!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“However, in this way, I cannot go to visit the Lord for the time being! I don’t know when this merit can be cashed in? And how should I exchange for the things I need?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As long as he could cultivate, even if he had to stay in Hanzhong for a few more years, he could endure it.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>One could tell from Zuo Ci’s expression that the merit was definitely very important and precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>If he were to share more than half with his second brother because of a moment of laziness, he would definitely regret it later.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, Zhang Lu felt he had to prevent this situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“This is simple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zuo Ci smiled: “As long as you agree, the Lord will later dispatch people to help you secretly control Hanzhong and carry out preliminary reforms;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“At the same time, whatever you want to exchange for, you can also find the person in charge among them, and he will arrange everything!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“The Lord possesses very strong beast-taming methods and can use golden eagles for communication;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“From here to Xiangyang City, a round trip for a message takes about an hour! It’s much more convenient than you imagine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“If you want to exchange for cultivation techniques and such, you can complete the exchange quickly through the golden eagle;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“As for other resources, you can also discuss how to exchange them with the person in charge sent by the Lord. The time for exchange—everything is very simple and won’t delay your cultivation here at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It’s not just light things like cultivation techniques and secret manuals.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As the golden eagles and other flying strange beasts continue to grow, their strength and size are constantly improving, and their load-bearing capacity is naturally also constantly improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Therefore, even without land transportation, many cultivation resources, such as strange beast meat, can be transported by the strange beast golden eagles.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>However, under normal circumstances, this method is not used unless necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lu nodded in understanding: “In that case, I have no objection! I am willing to fully obey the arrangements on the Lord’s side!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“In addition, I want to exchange for the Star Qi Refining Method and the Mind Visualization Method as soon as possible, as well as a batch of cultivation resources;”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“I don’t know when my merit will come down? And when can I get these resources?”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Although he had basically determined that what Zuo Ci said was true, Zhang Lu was still a bit nervous and anxious, and still a bit uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Only when he truly saw it could he be completely at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“Haha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zuo Ci naturally understood Zhang Lu’s state of mind at this time and couldn’t help but laugh aloud: “Rest assured, it will be very soon! In fact, I can exchange the Star Qi Refining Method for you on behalf of the Lord in advance! Later, when your merit comes down, you can repay this debt!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>This was what Su Xuan said personally, specifically to prevent the current situation and soothe Zhang Lu’s heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>“That’s great! Hehe! Brother Zuo Yuanfang! Quick! Let me see the Star Qi Refining Technique!”\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Zhang Lu licked his face, rubbed his hands, and looked at Zuo Ci with anticipation, urging him.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He couldn’t wait for even a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Was his dream of immortality for many years about to be realized?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>He only hoped this dream wasn’t fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Chr\u002F>\u003Cp>\u003Cem>— Author's Notes —\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>PS: Seeking first subscriptions, self-subscriptions, and support!\u003C\u002Fp>",1594,"2026-06-16T22:49:48.247Z","2026-06-17T08:57:40.402Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a9d2fbff6d59ed3ebf0499ca0b162b3bc0cf7581ec378e08ab159b10589a095f","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-376","heaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-chapter-374",467,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheaven-defying-comprehension-building-an-eternal-cover.jpg"]
