Chapter 669: Chapter 302: Spiritual Object Reserve_3

So, the status of White Phoenix Temple in the Jianghu was similar to Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong’s martial arts novels.

And what about Shaolin Temple?

It was a prestigious sect that has been at the top of the martial world for thousands of years.

It had both fame and power.

Isn’t it more than enough for the White Phoenix Temple to achieve a similar status?

As for the troubles that come with it.

To wear the crown, one must bear its weight.

If the White Phoenix Temple wanted these benefits, how could it be possible without paying the price?

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Moreover, Jihui was confident that the strength of White Phoenix Temple was enough to deal with these dangers and troubles.

As for the benefits of being the leader of the Jianghu in the Chu State, he and White Phoenix Temple were determined to enjoy them.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Lu Yuan, and both of their fox-like eyes showed a satisfied smile.

…

After concluding the deal with Jihui, the decree of appointing White Phoenix Temple was quickly passed down.

Upon receiving the decree, Jihui, who had gained from it, tactfully sent the promised spiritual objects and Divine Blood Species to Xichuan Royal Palace immediately.

After Lu Yuan checked the number and confirmed that nothing was wrong, he immediately had the items sealed and sent back to Baling.

Although he had obtained a lot of elixirs in this transaction, enough to immediately cultivate an Inborn Grandmaster.

But even so, Lu Yuan had no intention of using them right away.

Nowadays, Celestial spirit qi is becoming increasingly scarce, and it will be harder for him to obtain these spiritual objects in the future.

Thus, in a way, it was quite reasonable for those Inborn powerhouses to lengthen the cultivation of their heirs and cultivate the next generation of Inborn Grandmasters in the last twenty or thirty years of their lifespan.

Lu Yuan intended to follow this path.

However, instead of copying it completely, he made some modifications.

He decided to focus on cultivating his own descendants instead of pushing them to the limit.

In fact, there are already significant reserves of Divine Blood Elixir and Divine Blood Species in the Chu State.

In various blessed lands and cave worlds within the country, thirteen Divine Blood Species have been scattered and raised while there are about five hundred Divine Blood Elixirs in reserve.

These were all obtained from the extermination of enemies and requisitioned from Jianghu sects. Among them, the resources obtained from the conquest of the Southwest barbarians this time were the largest, accounting for about forty percent of these reserves.

Now, with the contribution from the White Phoenix Temple, the number of Divine Blood Species in Chu State will reach thirty-seven, and the Divine Blood Elixirs will be close to one thousand two hundred.

Frankly speaking, relying on these thirty-seven Divine Blood Species, even considering the decline of Heavenly and Earthly Aura and the death of the Divine Blood Species and other losses, they could provide Chu State with around two thousand Divine Blood Elixirs within the next hundred years.

If the time is prolonged, say, two hundred years, the harvest might be an additional one thousand.

This means that within the next hundred years, even if Chu State has no other means of acquiring resources, they will have about three thousand Divine Blood Elixirs, enough to cultivate six Inborn Grandmasters.

Extended to two hundred years, four thousand Divine Blood Elixirs would be enough for eight Inborn Grandmasters.

Although these numbers may seem large, they average out to one Inborn Grandmaster every sixteen or seventeen years within a hundred years, and one every twenty-plus years within two hundred years.

This level of cultivation efficiency barely meets the passing line of major countries like Zhou, Ning, and Liang.

It’s not much to boast about.

Besides, considering that in the future, channels for obtaining these Divine Blood Species will become increasingly narrow, Lu Yuan could not help but be cautious about the use of these spiritual objects.

After all, he now has two children. His eldest son, Lu He, has already paved his way to Innate, and the remaining Celestial Spirit qi in the Storage Spirit Jade is enough for him to smoothly break through Innate.

As for his second son, Lu Hao, previously there was no solution and Lu Yuan had to help him slowly accumulate the necessary resources over time to break through Innate.

Now, with the contribution from White Phoenix Temple, his younger son’s path to Innate can be planned.

Considering the ever-growing number of concubines in Lu Yuan’s harem, even if he tried to control his time with them in order to reduce the chances of pregnancies as much as possible, accidents are bound to happen eventually.

For these accidents, he can’t favor one over the other since they are all his own flesh and blood.

Therefore, Lu Yuan must also reserve Divine Blood Elixirs for his future descendants.

His own family is always more reliable than outsiders.

There is a saying, “Don’t let the water in your own field flow to others.”

He looked forward to the day when Inborn Grandmasters in Chu State exceed ten, and most of them have the surname Lu.

At that time, the scene would be very interesting.

To achieve this goal, storing more Divine Blood Elixirs now is necessary.

“Hmm… Brother Sun, He’er, Hao’er, in at most twenty years, when they grow up, there will be three more Inborn Grandmasters in Great Chu. By then, including me, Cai’er, Xiaoqing, and Huang Xuan, Chu State will have seven Inborn-level fighters.

Breaking ten is just three people short, and the goal is near.

It seems that I have to work harder in the next two years and have a few more children.

However, during these twenty years, my Cultivation will definitely continue to break through, and reaching the condensation of the second qi shouldn’t be a problem.

At that time, perhaps I could also train one or two Yellow Turban Strongmen, which is another option.

Well, let’s follow both paths and see how many Inborn fighters can be cultivated in the end, depending on what Heaven has in store.”

At the wharf outside Jin Officer City, Lu Yuan watched the naval fleet escorting the numerous spiritual objects away, and finally murmured to himself, his distant gaze revealing a hint of nostalgia.

He had been away from home for two years, and his two children at home must have grown taller and stronger.

And the queen, with whom he has formed deep feelings after all these years of being together.

Although in Jin Officer City Palace, there were many beauties from Xichuan and contributions from Buddhist nuns, all of them were the extremes of the world.

But playing with wildflowers too much will eventually become boring.

He missed the white moonlight at home.
