Preparing to Leave
The game and reality alternate.
Lu Qingfeng is also twenty years old, having left his childhood behind, and can now be called a young man.
In the game, the fourth era of the Chiyan Realm came to an end after three hundred years of peace.
In order to fully comprehend the Foundation Establishment realm, Lu Qingfeng did not choose to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, thus failing to advance to the Spirit Void Realm and extend his lifespan. When his three-hundred-year lifespan limit was reached, he did not Fusion with the Fufeng Mountain God Seal, but chose to reincarnate.
This lifetime lasts a full three hundred years.
After joining the Luofu Sword Sect, Lu Qingfeng gained immense benefits, far surpassing his previous three lives.
The benefits of the Luofu Heart Lamp to spiritual practice filled Lu Qingfeng with confidence in his spiritual practice in reality.
In terms of the Divine Path, they discovered the effect of the "Karmic Power Erasure" characteristic of the "Yellow Court Scripture" on Incense Offerings and mastered the refining of Heavenly Silver.
At the same time.
With the help of the Mountain God's position, Lu Qingfeng repeatedly practiced the Fourth Realm of the Foundation Establishment Realm — Qi Guiding, Liquid Condensation, Foundation Cultivation, and Body Tempering —gaining profound understanding. If it weren't for the lack of time at the end, he might even have had a chance to break through to the Spirit Void Realm.
Lu Qingfeng had no regrets about this.
With a solid foundation, it's not too late to break through to the Spirit Void Realm in the next life.
Conservatively speaking, Lu Qingfeng's cultivation experience in the game is enough for Lu Qingfeng to cultivate for nearly a hundred years in reality.
"Without any extraordinary encounters and with ample elixirs to aid me, given my natural Root Bone, I should be able to break through to the True Qi Realm in another two or three years. From the True Qi Realm to the Qi Guiding Realm, it will take at least twenty or thirty years of hard work. Then, the Foundation Establishment Four Realms will each take at least twenty or thirty years, and at most forty or fifty years."
Even at the very least, it would take a century to reach the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
A century in reality, ten thousand years in the game.
That's enough for whatever you do.
For Lu Qingfeng Root Bone reach this level at around one hundred years old is already incredibly fast. He can't compare to those geniuses, but he's not inferior to those with four or five points of Root Bone.
Wang Pan, with only five points of Root Bone, cultivated for twenty years before becoming Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator.
If Lu Qingfeng puts in more effort, he'll be a few years behind him at most.
In terms of cultivation, you can achieve something by following the steps. At least you don't need to worry before reaching the Spirit Void Realm.
Also.
During his three hundred years in the fourth life, Lu Qingfeng encountered many new and strange things, and focused on mastering some new Law Artifact and elixir refining methods.
The three statues of the patriarch that were just crafted are among them.
Each of the three ancestral master statues contains a genuine ancestral master statue the size of a fist. Made with special materials and using special methods, it can hold a massive amount of Incense and Fire Prayer Power.
A statue filled with Incense Offerings is enough to refine three to five coins of Heavenly Silver.

Games have been around for three hundred years.
Lu Qingfeng is already Third-Order Alchemist and Third-Order Artifact Refiner. He can refine third-level pills and Third-Rank Dharma Artifact and enjoys a great reputation in the area within 100,000 li around Fufeng Mountain.
Also.
The power of the High-Grade Spell "Flowerstride" exceeded Lu Qingfeng's expectations, making him take Technique Method more seriously.
Not only did he enhance the High-Grade Spell "Flowerstride" to Transcendent Grade, but he also strengthened the Heaven's Eye Technique and the Golden Light Technique, bringing them to the level of Secret Method. The former allows Lu Qingfeng to perceive the basic attributes and details of cultivators, Demon Beast, ghosts, gods, Law Artifact, etc., knowing himself and his enemy, thus ensuring victory in every battle. The latter is a defensive Technique Method; once cast, it envelops the target in Golden Light, making it impervious to all Myriad Arts and evil!
Due to the limited experience points, the Qi-Concealing Technique, Concealment Technique, and Entangling Technique Method only upgraded to the mid-level. Even so, they were still significantly stronger.
Entangling Technique is extremely effective in dense forests and swamps. Vines and vegetation can entangle the target, making it a first-rate Technique Method for trapping people. Once cast, it can buy more time for one to escape. When combined with Qi-Concealing Technique and Concealment Technique, it can even deceive ordinary Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivator.
With all these Technique Method combined with the Transcendent Grade "Flowerstride," Lu Qingfeng could be invincible.
In the path of cultivation, preserving one's life is of paramount importance!
In reality, Lu Qingfeng doesn't need combat training, doesn't need to run dungeons, doesn't need...
The only thing to do is to preserve your life!
All the training can be done in the game.
"That's about it."
Lu Qingfeng closed the attribute list and said softly.
With the statue of the patriarch completed, Lu Qingfeng's last task during his stay in Shangyang Country came to an end.
As his cultivation reached the True Qi Realm, his progress in cultivation slowed down.
Just as his previous life in the game ended, Lu Qingfeng prepared to take advantage of the two months of reincarnation to set off for the Three Mountains and Nine Rivers.
"What?"
"Leave now?"
"But the route through the Weeping Marsh hasn't been cleared yet, has it?"
Lu Qingshan was somewhat taken aback when he heard this news after returning from setting up the ancestral statue.
"We haven't been able to break through yet. But the Truth-Destroying Type One has already penetrated 7,300 miles into the Weeping Marsh. We must set off to catch up with the progress, otherwise the Truth-Destroying Type One will not be able to continue searching for a way forward," Lu Qingfeng explained.
He enhanced the Thousand Mechanisms Stone Refinement Method ten times, reaching a maximum sensing distance of 22 million miles. However, while the materials for refining the ten-times enhanced version of the Thousand Mechanisms Stone are easy to collect in the game, they are not so easy to obtain in reality.
After more than two years, the Spider Puppet still haven't managed to collect a complete set from the Weeping Marsh.
Lu Qingfeng originally intended to stay in Shangyang Country until the road to the Weeping Marsh was fully opened, but now he has to set off ahead of schedule.
"But the Azure Origin Sword Sect was only recently established, and the most powerful cultivators, such as Zhang Bo, Ma Wenju, Xie Tian, are only at the Embryonic Breath Realm Seventh Layer. What will happen to the Azure Origin Sword Sect if I leave?"
He had worked hard for two or three years, and just as the Azure Origin Sword Sect was getting on the right track, he was about to leave. Lu Qingshan was somewhat reluctant to part with it.
"Your own cultivation level is only at the Embryonic Breath Realm Seventh Layer!"
"You've been neglecting the Azure Origin Sword Sect the past two years. This is a good opportunity to hand it over to the younger generation, so you can focus on your cultivation."
"Otherwise, if your cultivation is surpassed by your disciples, it won't look good for you as the patriarch."
Lu Qingfeng interrupted Lu Qingshan's emotions.
He had experience in games, so he was able to cultivate to the True Qi Realm in just four or five years.
But Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu are not suitable.
Even with his constant guidance, ample elixirs, and the Secret Method of guiding the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Stone to improve their cultivation environment, the two were able to cultivate.
But right now he's only at the Embryonic Breath Realm Seventh Layer.
Lu Qingshan's cultivation level dropped due to his distraction from the Azure Origin Sword Sect.
Lu Qingyu, carefree and oblivious, caught up with him.
The two have reached the same level in their cultivation progress.
If this trend continues, Lu Qingyu might even surpass Lu Qingshan.
On the path of spiritual practice, if you take one step too slowly, you will take every step too slowly.
Lu Qingshan was young and ignorant, so Lu Qingfeng dared not be careless.
One of the reasons for deciding to leave Shangyang Country now is to extricate Lu Qingshan from the mundane affairs of the Azure Origin Sword Sect.
"But--"
Lu Qingshan blushed.
He understood this principle, but he was still reluctant to leave the Azure Origin Sword Sect, which he had built from scratch, so suddenly.
"Second Brother!"
"Just tell me, do you want me and my elder brother, or the Azure Origin Sword Sect?!"
Lu Qingyu stood with her hands on her hips, glaring fiercely at Lu Qingshan.
That's a really hurtful thing to say.
Lu Qingshan pursed his lips, not daring to say anything more.
Seeing this, Lu Qingfeng smiled and decided to set off three days later.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately went to deal with the numerous matters concerning the Azure Origin Sword Sect. The vast Azure Origin Sword Sect had many things to be explained, a multitude of issues. Three days might not even be enough; he needed to hurry.
"Snort!"
"I've said for a long time that my second brother is vain, but my eldest brother didn't believe me."
After watching her second brother's figure disappear, Lu Qingyu proudly gestured with her chin towards her eldest brother. In her opinion, Lu Qingshan's infatuation with the Azure Origin Sword Sect was nothing but vanity. She, on the other hand, thought those silly little brats of the Azure Origin Sword Sect were nothing compared to her eldest brother!
"Yes, vanity."
Lu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyu's face grew even more smug.
Three days.
Lu Qingshan needs to make proper arrangements for the Azure Origin Sword Sect.
In particular, there are matters concerning the various industries and the daily morning prayers before the Founders' Hall to worship the ancestral master's image. Fortunately, for the time being, there is still the ability to remotely control the Azure Origin Sword Sect using the Truth-Destroying Type One, so there is no need to attend to every detail.
Lu Qingfeng and Lu Qingyu had it much simpler.
Lu Qingyu, in particular, was carrying all sorts of novelties he had collected in Miaoyin City, Guangyuan Prefecture, and Dangyang Prefecture over the past few years. He couldn't bear to leave anything behind, so he brought everything. As for cultivation supplies, they were all with Lu Qingfeng.
Lu Qingfeng started packing his things early in the morning before leaving.
First, there were bottles and jars of pills.
Since the departure had been planned long ago, Lu Qingfeng took the time to refine all the medicinal herbs in his inventory into pills. These included pills needed for cultivation in the Late Stage of the Embryonic Breath Realm Qi-Harmonizing Pill the early to mid-stage of the True Qi Realm, such as Golden Marrow Pill Qi-Circulating Powder, Qi-Restoring Pill, and Sacred Yang Pill, as well as pills suitable for Acquired Postnatal Realm cultivators to detoxify, restore Internal Breath True Qi, and heal injuries, such as Mind-Clearing Pill, Qi Returning Pills, and Holy Yang Pills.
These are all intermediate and advanced-grade pills.
There were so many that they were enough for Lu Qingfeng and his two companions to use for ten years.
There were also many low-grade pills that Lu Qingfeng and his group no longer needed, so they left them at the Azure Origin Sword Sect.
