Chapter 348: 194: Discussion of the Extermination of the Clan – 3

According to Feng Zhijie, who was currently raising Lu Yuan’s Xuan Niu.

When the Seven Star Sect hid the Pure Water Xuan Niu, the Xuan Niu was injured due to insufficient support, and it might take two or three years of healing, as well as a large number of hundred-year-old spiritual medicines to support its recovery.

Therefore, during this period of recuperation, it would be impossible to produce Spiritual Blood.

In this case, for Lu Yuan, it was like spending money to raise a Xuan Niu that would only have an effect after two or three years.

Furthermore, once this Pure Water Xuan Niu was healed, it would only be usable for at most another thirty years.

Considering that the rate at which the Xuan Niu was producing Spiritual Blood was getting slower and slower.

Even if it was raised for thirty years, it would be considered good luck if it could provide him with twenty Profound Pills in the end.

If the luck was not good, it might only provide ten or so.

“So, it seems that it is better to kill this cow now and drain the Spiritual Blood from its body, which would allow for the refining of seven or eight Profound Pills.

If the spiritual meat, spiritual skin, and other materials of the Xuan Niu were also considered, the harvest would be even greater.

Compared to that, although the long-term income might be slightly worse, the short-term income would still be considerable.

Moreover, a lot of time would be saved, which would alleviate my pressing needs.”

When Lu Yuan thought of this, he made up his mind.

Seven or eight Pure Water Profound Pills were not many in number, but the second-tier disciples under his tutelage had already increased to four.

The one with the highest strength had already reached the stage of mastering seven meridians.

For Lu Yuan, if he had seven or eight Pure Water Profound Pills, it would be enough to help a disciple with sufficient potential to break through the first tier among the four second-tier official disciples.

Moreover, he could also spare two or three Pure Water Profound Pills to help the disciples who had reached the breakthrough stage of the second tier, break through the second tier, thereby allowing him to make use of more talents.

If they could produce such strength at this time, the benefits it would bring would undoubtedly be far greater than taking their time with the Pure Water Xuan Niu over a period of thirty years.

Therefore, it was indeed time to kill this cow.

As Lu Yuan thought about it, he wrote an order with his brush, then called his trusted aides to take it to Mount Yuanluo and convey the matter to Feng Zhijie.

This old Feng, who had betrayed his sect, had rich experience in how to kill the cow, how to draw blood, and how to refine pills.

It was better to let him handle this matter than for himself, an outsider, to rashly step in. All he needed to do was to provide various material support.

Having dealt with this matter, Lu Yuan thought carefully in his heart to make sure there was nothing urgent to deal with, then picked up the Taoist Classics and began to read them slowly.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was November of Hongdao’s six years.

During this time, Lu Yuan still maintained his usual routine, practicing the Red Sun Sword Technique and finger techniques, studying the Taoist Classics, and pondering the next step in cultivation after the Inborn stage.

Occasionally, when there was a thunderstorm, he would go out to interact with the thunder, cultivating the Five Thunder Techniques.

From time to time, when the mood struck him, he would also patrol the camp and review the training results.

Life was ordinary yet fulfilling.

During this period, news from all sides had also arrived.

First, there was Yueyang Prefecture.

After the failure in driving out the Zhou People, Shangguan Ming changed his strategy from eagerly eliminating the Zhou People in Jiangnan to a long-term attrition. He began to deploy troops around the Anxiang County occupied by the Zhou People, and started to besiege the opposing party, cutting off their path of expansion.

At the same time, he sent people to harass the area around Anxiang County from time to time, preventing the local population from producing normally.

As a result, the Xia harvest and autumn harvest in the counties around Anxiang had been affected, to the point where there was no harvest at all.

Furthermore, the Zhou People had stationed 30,000 troops in Anxiang County. With so many people not engaged in production, the consumption of food and fodder was astronomical.

Now that they occupied several counties in Anxiang, but were unable to farm normally due to Shangguan Ming’s harassments, they could not provide food.

Having been besieged for half a year, they were suddenly plunged into a situation of food scarcity.

Even the local populace in the several counties of Anxiang, who were unable to escape, were driven to cannibalism.

Meanwhile, the food of the Zhou People in Jiangbei could not be transported over due to the blockade of the court’s naval forces.

At this point, the Zhou People could no longer hold on.

The Zhou Country’s Grand General of the Left Pillar, Li Yanjing, had already begun to lead his troops to actively seek battle, wanting to find Shangguan Ming to fight.

However, seeing the dire situation of the Zhou People, Shangguan Ming didn’t want to fight them. Instead, he began to shut himself up, only sealing off the opponent’s route, but not fighting them.

This was intended to starve the Zhou troops to death.

With no other choice, Li Yanjing could only lead the troops to attack forcefully and fight to break through the encirclement.

However, the court had blocked his troops with 50,000 soldiers, while Li Yanjing only had 30,000 soldiers. As the current aggressor, it was a problem whether he could break through or not.

However, no matter how bleak the prospects were, as the Zhou People had actively started the war, Yueyang Prefecture once again went up in flames.

At this time, which was close to the year-end festivities, the local people could not get a breather, and they were still suffering.

On the other hand, Lu Yuan seized this opportunity to take in nearly 100,000 displaced people from Anxiang County and relocate them to Shaoyang Prefecture and the southern three prefectures, restoring some of the population that the four prefectures had lost and taking advantage of the situation.

While Yueyang Prefecture was fighting fiercely.

Zhou Qing, on the other hand, had contacted the Miao tribe messenger after returning and conveyed Lu Yuan’s message to him.

Upon receiving the request that Lu Yuan wanted Lan Zhaoyun to come and meet him in person, the other party was furious and left in a huff.

However, after only a few days, the person returned to Zhou Qing, saying that the leader was willing to come and meet Lu Yuan.

However, the meeting place needed to be changed to a more suitable location.

For example, the border between the two sides would be very suitable.

As for this, Lu Yuan naturally ignored him and simply told the person to leave.
