Chapter 376

“Haha! No problem!”

Zuo Ci smiled, flipped his hand, took out a Star Qi Refining Technique manual, and handed it to Zhang Lu, instructing: “This thing can only be used by you. Even if others get it, they won’t be able to see any content inside!”

Clearly, this manual had been tampered with by Su Xuan. Without his permission, even if outsiders obtained it, they wouldn’t be able to see the content inside.

It looked magical, but it was actually the result of the sealing restriction on the manual echoing with the spiritual contract rune in Zhang Lu’s sea of consciousness.

Of course, it required Su Xuan to authorize Zhang Lu’s spiritual contract; otherwise, even with the spiritual contract rune, Zhang Lu wouldn’t be able to flip through it.

“Is it that magical? I understand!”

Zhang Lu was slightly stunned, then took the manual and couldn’t wait to flip through it.

“Hiss!”

Soon, he couldn’t help but gasp. While flipping through it, he couldn’t help but exclaim: “So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is! Collecting and absorbing star power to replace spiritual energy for cultivation? Good method! Good method indeed!”

“No! It’s not just that. After this star power is refined, it becomes Star Spiritual Power! Not only does it possess all the characteristics of spiritual energy, but it also has the characteristics of star power, and it’s even stronger than ordinary spiritual energy!”

“The key is that this will not be suppressed or restricted by the Heavenly Dao!”

“No wonder! No wonder!”

“In this way, even if there are many people practicing the Star Qi Refining Method, it will not cause depletion of the Heavenly Dao’s spiritual energy;”

“Even if a cultivator practicing the Star Qi Refining Method dies and dissipates, the Star Spiritual Power in their body will dissipate into heaven and earth, increasing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and feeding back to the heaven and earth stars;”

“No wonder heaven and earth can allow it! Wonderful!”

“But the Lord who can blaze a new trail and create such a method is definitely not an ordinary person! I would even believe it if you said the Lord is a god descending to earth.”

In short, Su Xuan was no longer an ordinary person in Zhang Lu’s eyes!

“Haha!”

Zuo Ci couldn’t help but laugh aloud: “Great minds think alike! We all believe the Lord is a sage descending to earth; he is definitely not an ordinary person.”

“Actually, these are not the most powerful things!”

“The most powerful thing is that the Lord has also deduced a set of methods and means to build a Luck Dynasty, which can condense a Luck Golden Dragon and gather the luck of a dynasty. If the dynasty is strong, the luck is strong; if one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer;”

“After the Luck Dynasty is successfully built, all officials can obtain the blessing of dynasty luck according to their rank, increasing their cultivation speed;”

“In addition, even if ordinary people become officials, with the blessing of luck, they can greatly extend their lifespan. This is the true means of an eternal Luck Dynasty.”

“Reaching a certain level, it is not impossible for the entire dynasty to achieve immortality.”

Zuo Ci himself was full of longing for that situation as he spoke.

“Hiss?”

Zhang Lu was shocked and couldn’t even care about the Star Qi Refining Method manual in his hand: “The Lord can even create this kind of method?”

“In that case, can the Lord’s dynasty be immortal in the future?”

“If we can obtain the blessing of dynasty luck, wouldn’t our future cultivation also be smooth and rapid?”

“In this way, immortality might not be a dream!”

“No! I must work hard for the Lord in the future and obtain a higher position as much as possible!”

Originally, after seeing this Star Qi Refining Method, Zhang Lu had the intention of retiring to the mountains and forests to practice honestly.

Even if he didn’t retire, he didn’t intend to hold office.

Now he didn’t think so!

The blessing of luck is fragrant!

He is not young now. If he only relies on his own talent to cultivate, it is unknown whether he can achieve immortality in the future.

Perhaps before he cultivates to a sufficient realm, his lifespan will run out and he will die of old age.

But if he can have the blessing of dynasty luck to cultivate, it will be completely different.

In short, everything is for cultivation.

“That’s great!”

Zuo Ci smiled knowingly; he was deliberately stimulating Zhang Lu.

To prevent this old kid from being inactive in his work in the future.

The Lord is very short of people!

In addition, the Lord is also preparing to cultivate more alchemists, talisman makers... etc. Zhang Lu himself is a Taoist, and he is also familiar with these, so he is a talent who can be well absorbed and cultivated.

It will be good to become a qualified worker in the future.

Want to be lazy and go cultivate?

That’s impossible!

The Lord asked him to establish the Hundred Arts Pavilion, and they are short of manpower. It’s better to pull in one more person than none!

He doesn’t think highly of Zhang Lu holding political office; it’s better to pull him into the Hundred Arts Pavilion.

In any case, members of the Hundred Arts Pavilion also have their own positions and levels according to their abilities, which is about the same as holding political office.

Thinking of this, Zuo Ci immediately told Zhang Lu about the Hundred Arts Pavilion and invited him to join.

“Oh? Has the Lord even created true alchemy, talisman making, and even formations and weapon refining?”

“...That’s great! I’ll join!”

Zhang Lu was surprised and agreed without even thinking.

He himself was not interested in holding political office; he only did it in the past because he had no choice.

On the contrary, he was more interested in the Hundred Arts of Immortality.

If cultivating these could also obtain similar official positions, and he could obtain the blessing of luck through this official position in the future, why not do it?

“Haha! Welcome, welcome! Finally, there is one more great talent!”

Zuo Ci beamed and continued: “Brother Brother Gongqi, I don’t know if you have any friends who are proficient in the Hundred Arts? You might as well pull them in together; our Hundred Arts Pavilion is short of people!”

“Eh?”

Zhang Lu was slightly stunned: “I do have some! I can pull them in! However, is there merit for this?”

“Naturally!”

Zuo Ci nodded affirmatively.

“That’s great! I agree!”

Zhang Lu smiled and nodded: “However, Brother Zuo Yuanfang, is our Hundred Arts Pavilion really that short of people?”

“Don’t you also have many friends and fellow Daoists? Why haven’t you pulled them in?”

“Uh... this...”

Zuo Ci’s expression paused slightly, and he said somewhat awkwardly: “Because of various reasons, I haven’t yet!”

“However, it is time to find a way to pull them in! Otherwise, the Lord might be unhappy!”

But, he had definitely cheated these fellow Daoists in the past. If they joined and found out the truth, he would likely suffer!

But what can he do?

He couldn’t really not put his heart into pulling them in, right?

The Lord is not easy to fool; he probably knew from the beginning.

It was just that, out of consideration for the fact that the classics he had cheated from them were also of great help to the Lord, he didn’t urge him and gave him a lot of time to ease into it.

But now he should also pay attention to pulling people in!

...Bottom.
