In Middle Age, Though You May Not Be Your Own Master, You Can Still Rely on External Aids

After the inquiry, the system remained silent for a long time.

Just when Lu Changzhi thought the system was pretending not to hear him again, the system suddenly said:

"Not located here; cannot be found at this time."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head:

"You can't even check this in the system?"

"Yes, Master."

System reply:

"The system's detection range is limited; please improve your strength as soon as possible."

Lu Changzhi simply smiled and dismissed the pie in his sky.

If that's the case, then let's just wait a little longer.

To avoid causing any problems that cannot be solved at present.

On the other side, Xu Kun was also preparing to get up and leave, and said to Lu Changzhi:

"Changzhi, next time you dream of your parents, remember to thank them for me and Dharma Form Peak."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi couldn't help but smile:

"Peak Master Xu, you're too kind. It's only right to do things for the sect."

Xu Kun's face showed a look of relief, and he patted Lu Changzhi on the shoulder:

"If you need anything in the future, just come to my Dharma Form Peak. I'll do everything I can to help..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he raised his hand with a smile:

"What a coincidence, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."

"If you have time, Peak Master Xu, could you make me a bed? I don't need to worry about cultivation effects; just make sure I'm comfortable."

"Bed?"

Xu Kun was taken aback, then, as if remembering something, a smile appeared on his face. He asked:

"The kind from the Flower Spirit Sect?"

"Oh?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised:

"It seems that Peak Master Xu also knows this."

"Of course."

Xu Kun wore a smug expression.

"That kind of bed was originally made by me. I sold it to the Flower Spirit Sect back then and made a lot of money from it."

"So it was Peak Master Xu who came up with this idea?"

A look of surprise appeared in Lu Changzhi's eyes.

This idea that people in middle age, though no longer in control of their own lives, can still rely on external things is implemented very well.

After a pause, a smile appeared on Lu Changzhi's face:

"That's the benefit, which one?"

"You little rascal."

Xu Kun laughed and scolded, patted his chest, and said:

"Since you need it, I'll make it for you as soon as I get back, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Then I'll look forward to it," Lu Changzhi said with a smile.

Xu Kun had just left not long ago.

Cang Wenyu arrived at Hidden Origin Peak.

I initially thought it was about the jade talisman, but it wasn't mentioned. Instead, they inquired about Gu Chen.

"Gu Chen has gone traveling on his own and it should take him some time," Lu Changzhi replied.

Cang Wenyu pondered for a moment, then asked:

"Does he have enough means to kill enemies, escape, and save his own life?"

Lu Changzhi was taken aback, and subconsciously said:

"It should be alright, right?"

After all, she had given the talisman given by the system to Gu Chen.

Without Saint, this talisman will sweep everything away.

However, if we're talking about all three functions, one card alone isn't enough to satisfy them all at the same time.

Upon hearing this, Cang Wenyu said with certainty:

That's still far from enough.

After saying that, he looked at Lu Changzhi and said:

"Is he determined to go out and gain experience?"

Lu Changzhi nodded, Cang Wenyu pondered for a moment.

"If that's the case, then we need to arrange more protection for him."

Seeing this, Lu Changzhi asked:

"But what's going to happen?"

Cang Wenyu looked toward the Azure Cloud Sect and then gave a brief account of what had happened in the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range.

Lu Changzhi's expression turned strange upon hearing this.

The sect seems to know far too much about what happened to that group in the holy land.

However, given his prior knowledge of the various peaks, he wasn't too surprised by this.

Being able to hear even the faintest rustling of the wind through the grass allows for a better sense of and prediction of danger.

"So, the other powerful figures from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land are coming?" Lu Changzhi asked.

"They've already arrived."

Cang Wenyu said:

"The mysterious loss of the Sacred Artifact was truly unexpected and changed some of our original plans. However, it's not necessarily a bad thing; it just brought some chaos forward."

Lu Changzhi nodded. "So that's why the sect leader asked Gu Chen."

"Yes," Cang Wenyu said.

"It's not just him, there are also the other little ones on the peak. If you go out, you must make sufficient preparations."

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment and asked:

"This chaos could become quite serious?"

Cang Wenyu nodded, his expression turning serious:

"Since the last disturbance, the world has gradually begun to change, not only in the Azure Cloud Sect, but also in other regions."

"Territory will become a key area of contention in the coming period."

Lu Changzhi listened and nodded gently.

Territory is the area where forces can be deployed. Having your own forces means that if something good happens, you can learn about it as quickly as possible and block the news.

Similarly, regardless of whether it's good or bad, the larger the territory, the more unusual events will occur.

"Given the changes we see today, even long-standing agreements are no longer sufficient to maintain their validity."

"The annihilation of the Mystic One Sect was the key to breaking this balance. Now, the Cloud Heaven Holy Land's large-scale entry into the Eastern Region will inevitably attract the attention of other forces in other regions."

"Once these things start, they will only get more and more chaotic. And my Eastern Region has always been poor and weak, so it will be the place where this conflict is most severe. The Cloud Heaven Holy Land is taking the lead, and the Buddhist Order has also gotten involved. Other forces will certainly not sit idly by."

Cang Wenyu spoke at length.

Lu Changzhi listened Jingjing.

On the surface, among the four major domains, only the Eastern Region lacks any Saint Realm experts.

Of course, Lu Changzhi was aware that the sect definitely had Saint Realm experts, but the exact number was still unknown.

But I know it myself, not that others know it.

In the face of conflict, if one wishes to avoid it, one must let outsiders know one's strength. Only in this way can one create a deterrent force and make it difficult for conflict to arise.

"So,"

Lu Changzhi looked at Cang Wenyu:

"Faced with the impending chaos, does the sect intend to keep a low profile?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Cang Wenyu decisively shook his head:

"Changzhi, we must not forget the sect's ancestral precepts."

Lu Changzhi smiled and said:

"But given our current strength, I'm afraid we'll inevitably be drawn into it."

Cang Wenyu nodded:

"Of course, the weak have no choice in the face of chaos, but..."

Cang Wenyu changed the subject:

"You don't need to worry about this; news has already come from the ancestor."

"Focus on your cultivation; the Ancestor will handle any other troubles."

Lu Changzhi nodded and said nothing more.

However, a thought couldn't help but pop into his mind.

Is this move because they think the chaos isn't big enough?

Using chaos to control chaos only adds more chaos to chaos.

You know what, considering what he's been through before, it's almost certainly true.

"That's true. Only when the water is murky enough can you easily reach out and grope the fish."

Shaking his head and smiling, Lu Changzhi didn't dwell on it any longer.

Just as our ancestor instructed, focus on your spiritual practice.

By the way, let's wait and see how our ancestors will use their methods.
