Didn't he need merit to attain the Dao?
With how much Lu Changqing had gained, if he refined it all, wouldn't he be headed straight for Hunyuan?
Lu Changqing sighed softly at that.
He grumbled inwardly:
I already used everything I could use!

Thus, he said solemnly, "What skill is there in relying on external things to show off one's strength?
