Leaning against a big tree is beneficial for enjoying the cool shade.

    Lu Qingfeng, in these past ten years, has thoroughly comprehended the profound meaning embedded within.

    As the Prince Consort of Dragon Palace in the Immortal Qin Realm, even the magic artifacts and rare items that are scarcely seen in ordinary Immortal Sects were generously bestowed by the Min River Dragon Lord in great quantities.

    Take, for example, the Mirror Stone.

    In cultivation, it can strengthen the Divine Soul.

    In combat rule, it can replenish Soul Power and restore the Divine Soul.

    At first glance, it seems hardly different from the Soul Swinging Stone.

    Yet, unlike the Soul Swinging Stone and Spirit Stones which are consumables that become depleted, the Mirror Stone can be reused—

    Whether it''s the Single Flower Mirror Stone or the Nine Flower Mirror Stone, if left undisturbed between heaven and earth for ten years, new flowers will bloom within.

    Just this function alone vastly increases the value of the Mirror Stone.

    The possession of Mirror Stones, and the quantity thereof, can even be used to gauge the depth and foundation of various forces and Immortal Sects around the world.

    This time, Lu Qingfeng received six Nine Flower Mirror Stones, equating his position to an Intermediate Immortal Sect governed by a Third Realm practitioner.

    However.

    "For me, these might not be sufficient."

    Lu Qingfeng shook his head inwardly.

    Six Nine Flower Mirror Stones could support the cultivation of practitioners in the Second or even Third Realm of the Nature Dao. But considering the Earth Soul and Daoist Field soon to be formed, these six Mirror Stones seem like a drop in the bucket.

    "Even more so."

    "Not just the Soul Condensation Realm."

    "Mirror Stones also have significant benefits for cultivation in the Immortal Dao and Body Separation; the more, the better."

    Thinking thus, since arriving at Yuan Lake and revisiting the Immortal Dao while concurrently cultivating the Nature Dao, the cultivation resources Lu Qingfeng needed were indeed substantial—

    "Luofu Sword Scripture," "Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill," "Yellow Robe True Skill," "Five Thunder Heart Sutra."

    These are four top-tier Techniques.

    Among them, "Luofu Sword Scripture" is of the Supreme Level, and the remaining three are at the Mysterious Level. Cultivating all four requires resources four times that of a regular Immortal Dao practitioner. Additionally, due to the profoundness of the Techniques and the need for significant accumulation, the resource consumption is even greater.

    Such was the case for Lu Qingfeng.

    Exceeding an Immortal Dao practitioner who cultivates solely one Refinement Level Technique by more than twenty or thirty times.

    Moreover, he is cultivating the Nature Dao.

    Lu Qingfeng was also keenly interested in the Life Dao—

    "Even though I hold the position of Yuan Lake Water Lord, managing three thousand elite navy forces under my command, plus needing to support the subjects of the Water Palace and provide tributes to the Min River Dragon Palace, the resources from Yuan Lake might hardly support my cultivation needs."

    Not to mention.

    Lu Qingfeng also controlled the "Dutian Xuanming Strategy," a magical artifact voracious like Taotie, which greatly enhances combat power and enables one to fight across higher levels.

    "I need to find a solution."

    Lu Qingfeng pondered, looking at the one thousand five hundred diverse navy forces led by Lan Feihu on Yin Mountain Island, and then watching over Yuan Lake, the one thousand five hundred Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals under the command of Yuan Bi.

    He formulated a definitive plan.

    …

    Eight months later.

    "My liege, Yuan Bi and Lan Feihu have cleared Yuan Lake, and the Prince Consort has refined the Dharma Seal. Now, the construction of the Yuan Lake Water Palace is progressing smoothly,"

    reported Minister Turtle, handing up the report from Yuan Lake with a genial smile.

    "Eight months."

    Min River Dragon Lord, with a green face and red beard, took the report but didn''t rush to read it, looking at Minister Turtle, "They say a new official lights three fires upon taking office; now that Guang Yuan has just arrived at Yuan Lake, is there any major action?"

    "There is no major action."

    Minister Turtle shook his head, "However, before leaving, the Prince Consort reproduced many classics from the Dragon Palace, pertaining to troop training, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, talisman, arrays, as well as various low-level cultivation methods and theoretical classics from Nature Dao and Life Dao. These are all basic-level, just in large quantity."

    In the Min River Dragon Palace, Minister Turtle, like a shadow to the Min River Dragon Lord, always stuck by his side—a dragon and a turtle, inseparable. The Min River Dragon Lord trusted Minister Turtle far more than the Luo Lake Water Lord Chi Yin and Tao River Water Lord Xuan Shuang.

    Minister Turtle managed all affairs of the Dragon Palace.

    Every little detail was engraved in his mind.

    Before Lu Qingfeng departed, he had reproduced many classics in the Dragon Palace Treasury and Luli Pavilion, a notable activity which Minister Turtle was well aware of.

    "Guang Yuan."

    "At such a young age, his ambitions are indeed not small."

    Min River Dragon Lord could not help but shake his head.

    Though Min River Dragon Lord had dispatched three thousand navy troops and two great generals, Lan Feihu and Yuan Bi from the Dragon Palace, along with Ao Le to accompany him, as a Water Lord of a region spanning a hundred thousand miles, it was clear that he needed countless talented individuals to assist and strengthen various positions.

    Like the Min River Dragon Palace.

    When the Min River Dragon Lord first arrived at Min River, he gathered various scriptures and had numerous Divine Positions to lure talents from Qi Country, across courts, armies

    Reflecting on Lu Qingfeng——

    "Who among the truly talented values those low-level classics?"

    "Even with large ambitions, Guang Yuan can only attract a few mediocrities with no grand aspirations, or minor talents with high ambitions who won''t stay long at Yuan Lake using the Sixth and Seventh Grade Divine Positions."

    Min River Dragon Lord thought that Lu Qingfeng replicating so many foundational classics was to emulate the Min River Dragon Palace and properly manage the 7,000 li of Yuan Lake and 100,000 li of Earth Realm.

    Smiling on the surface, he jovially said to Minister Turtle, "Though Guang Yuan has unusual luck and talent, after all, entering the Dragon Palace at sixteen, his experiences are limited. After seeing the biographies of mortal figures, he wants to achieve success, not realizing his own immaturity."

    He was smiling, but without malice.

    It was simply the pure mentality of an elder, delighting uncontainably in watching a younger one stumble and tumble.

    "His Majesty appointed the Prince Consort as ''Yuan Lake Water Lord,'' firstly, to help the Prince Consort condense the soul of Earth''s history and derive the Daoist Field within the soul. Secondly, isn''t it also to give the Prince Consort some hardships and setbacks, to temper his youthful vigor?"

    "Bumping into obstacles and recognizing difficulties is a good thing."

    Minister Turtle chuckled, remembering how the immensely talented Prince Consort would later bump around, bruised, and laughed even more brightly.

    The two conversed and laughed.

    After a while.

    Minister Turtle looked up, slapped his forehead, and said, "Look at me, almost forgetting the important matters."

    Continuing.

    Minister Turtle pointed to the document in Min River Dragon Lord''s hand, "The Prince Consort, in Yuan Lake, sent people to Southern Pass Road, recruiting well-known military leaders and soldiers. Although mostly rejected, bruised and battered, some frustrated or less famous generals and colonels were indeed recruited."

    "The Prince Consort submitted this document, firstly to report to His Majesty, wanting to train troops. Secondly, he requested His Majesty to allocate military provisions from the Dragon Palace."

    Upon hearing this, Min River Dragon Lord opened the document—

    "This son just arrived at Yuan Lake, and without offering tributes, wants to ask the Dragon Palace for sustenance. Just this audacity alone, his future achievements will certainly not be poor."

    With one glance over.

    He then closed the document in his hand with a snort and sneered.

    "The Prince Consort and the young princess share deep affection, and naturally, he isn''t reserved with His Majesty. His Majesty, caring about all sorts of treasures, even bestowed six of the rare Nine Flower Mirror Stones from the Dragon Palace, seeing potential in the Prince Consort. The stronger the Prince Consort''s abilities, the more the young princess will have to rely on in the future, and His Majesty should be happy."

    Minister Turtle said with a smile.

    "Not reserved?"

    "That''s good."

    Min River Dragon Lord threw the document onto the table, "I want to see what sort of achievements a scholar training troops can make!"

    ...

    Yuan Lake.

    The Water Palace was yet to be completed; Lu Qingfeng was still temporarily residing on Yin Mountain Island.

    Within the quiet room.

    Lu Qingfeng was sitting cross-legged in cultivation.

    After leaving the Dragon Palace.

    Whether a few decades or two to three hundred years, the position of Yuan Lake Water Lord would not be revoked, Lu Qingfeng could finally act freely.

    Re-cultivating the Immortal Dao goes without saying.

    In just ten months, he had already reached the Postnatal True Qi Realm.

    This was still a stable and solid proceeding.

    Otherwise, with the endorsement of the Fourth Grade Yuan Lake Water Lord''s celestial position, Lu Qingfeng could even reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. But foundations are crucial, this life cannot be negligent, Lu Qingfeng does not hastily press but maintains stability.

    The cultivation of Immortal Dao needs no further mention.

    As for the ''grassroots'' reward of 30,000 Experience Value, it was used by Lu Qingfeng to enhance and fuse the Nature Dao Cultivation Technique—

    [Cultivation Technique: Dragon-Tiger Eight Sceneries Talismanic Technique]

    [Grade: Side Door Level]

    [Derivation Technique: Five times enhancement, one fusion] sea??h thё n??el Fire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Great Method Mysterious, its power limitless.]

    Eleven years ago.

    Lu Qingfeng, in the LuLi Pavilion of Min River Dragon Palace, under the guidance of Ao Lie, chose the "Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique" from many top Sexual Cultivation methods, because he possessed the "Upper Origin Eight Sceneries Talismanic Technique."

    The latter, obtained from the Upper Origin Palace in the Black Star Realm on Fengyue Star, is a Side Door Level Skill of the talisman path. Although an Immortal Dao method, Sex Cultivation stems from Immortal Dao and even in the Primordial World, can be considered a branch of the Immortal Dao.

    Infused into the "Golden Tiger White Dragon Talisman Technique," they complement each other.

    The fused "Dragon-Tiger Eight Sceneries Talismanic Technique," Lu Qingfeng also enhanced it five times, establishing it as a Side Door Level skill.

    This level of method, already comparable to Immortal Qin''s foremost Sexual Cultivation Immortal Sect Yuan You Tongshen Palace''s Mountain Guardian method. Not even the entire Min River Dragon Palace could find an equivalent.

    The top marvelous method of Sex Cultivation.

    Temporarily no need for further enhancement.

    After all, originally a Refined Level Technique, its potential is limited, Lu Qingfeng does not intend to invest too much Experience Value.

    He closed his eyes to cultivate.

    Holding a Mirror Stone in each hand.

    Nine mirror flowers were consumed, after one year, only six remained for each. At this rate, about another year time was needed to completely refine the mirror flowers in the two Nine Flower Mirror Stones.

    But for the Mirror Stone to recover, it would take ten years.

    There would definitely be several years of gaps in between.

    And as Lu Qingfeng''s cultivation in Sexual Cultivation gradually improves, the speed of refining the mirror flowers could continue to increase.

    Just the current six Mirror Stones, could be completely refined in six years, far from enough.

    However, Mirror Stones are hard to find and cannot be hastily obtained.
