Chapter 311: Refining the Foundation

Under the cold wind, the six years of Shenwu passed quietly, and the time unconsciously came to the seventh year of Shenwu.

At the beginning of the New Year, just after the Lantern Festival, the wind and snow that were blowing all the time between heaven and earth finally stopped.

Although the earth is still white, the snow and ice that fall on it are gradually thinning and beginning to melt.

Unconsciously, the cold winter began to retreat quietly.

In Baling City, the originally sparse and empty streets have gradually gained popularity.

Business travelers began to pour into the city, and almost all the shops in the streets of the city were opened. The residents of Fang City began to come out to look for work, and groups of children were chasing and having fun playing with the ice and snow.

Countless hustles and bustles converged, and the city's popularity gradually recovered.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Yuan asked the court to send envoys to various county capitals to ask them to count the impact of the snow disaster.

The damage caused by this sudden snowstorm to Baling City has been calculated.

1,302 families in the city were affected by the disaster, and their houses were damaged to varying degrees. Among them, 107 families froze to death before they had time to escape after their houses collapsed, and 473 people died.

For these victims, Lu Yuan has asked the city government to provide relief as appropriate.

Of course, the so-called relief is not directly sending them money and food to help them rebuild their houses, and it is unfair that Chu State is not so rich.

According to the relief method discussed by Lu Yuan and his ministers, it is to arrange some government work for the victims, and then let them work to fight for enough money, and then rely on this money to tide over the difficulties by themselves.

This is known as cash-for-work.

Don't underestimate that.

You must know that for some jobs given by the government, the salary is often above the average of the normal market price, which can be regarded as quite a good job.

Just after this new year, when the ice and snow are still there, it is not so simple to find a good job.

The work given by the government is enough to help the victims who have suffered serious losses due to the snow disaster to tide over this difficulty.

Now that the victims have a livelihood, they don't have to worry about it, because they are desperate to survive and become a factor of local instability.

As long as this is guaranteed, the impact of this snow disaster will quickly subside.

It is precisely because of this that when the blizzard stopped, Lu Yuan ordered all localities to carry out disaster statistics and relief work.

As the national capital, Baling faced a snow disaster this time, and the damage was so serious.

In other prefectures and counties, the conditions are far inferior to Baling, and the damage can be imagined.

However, it will take a month at the earliest to wait for the situation to be confirmed by various localities and then to report the statistics.

Therefore, after the order was given, Lu Yuan didn't pay much attention to it.

All kinds of arrangements have gone down, and the ministers of the court and the local officials are also the best talents selected among the best in the Chu State.

With the current state of Chu in an upward atmosphere, those officials can definitely expect to be efficient in order to get promoted and make a fortune.

With their assistance in doing things, there is no need for him, the king of Chu, to worry too much.

Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that there were not many things at the beginning of the year, Lu Yuan called Sun Siwen, who had just spent the New Year with his family, and planned to start helping him transform his aura and refine his body and soul.

……

Harem, inside Bifang Garden.

As a garden in the palace, most of the delicate flowers have withered at this time, and only some specially trained hardy flowers are still blooming at this time.

There is a small pavilion in the garden, and at this time, the pavilion is hung down by bamboo curtains, shielding it from the cold wind.

Only the side leading to the envoy road is open at this time, but here it happens to avoid the direction of the wind, and there is no need to worry about the cold wind blowing in.

Inside the pavilion, the stove was burning at this time, and the red flame flickered, bringing warmth to this small space.

On the soft seat next to him, Lu Yuan and Sun Siwen sat opposite each other, and they both looked calm at this time.

"Brother Sun, I will extradite the aura and train your body later. Then you take this opportunity to meditate on the artistic conception of the red sun, take the opportunity to use the aura to strengthen the artistic conception, and refine the soul. ”

After looking at the delicate flowers outside, feeling the calm breath of the friend next to him stabilize and slowly reach its peak, Lu Yuan explained.

"Brother Lu, don't worry, I'm ready."

Sun Siwen's expression was solemn, and he also knew that this matter was important, so he did not slack off at all.

"Okay, let's get started."

Lu Yuan nodded, and then stretched out his hand, and an emerald green jade piece was suspended between the two.

On the other side, Sun Siwen looked at the familiar piece of jade, and his expression was slightly dazed.

Of course, he is no stranger to this piece of jade that he gave out by himself, because this is the ancestral heirloom of the Sun family.

Speaking of which, when Lu Yuan planned to let Sun Siwen practice martial arts, and then handed over the jade piece to him, this scholar, who had always only read sage books, suddenly realized that his ancestor who went out to look for immortals was really an immortal who had found immortals.

And the emerald jade piece in front of him is the fairy fate left by his ancestors to his descendants.

It's just that he didn't make use of this fairy fate, but gave it to outsiders, and mistakenly paid for the arrangement of the ancestors.

But despite this, Sun Siwen has no regrets.

At the beginning, the jade piece was in his hand, but he didn't find the mystery at all, and the jade piece didn't reveal any abilities, so he immediately got the flying immortal or something.

This is enough to prove that this jade piece has nothing to do with him.

In this way, even if this jade piece has a great chance, to him, it is just an ordinary jade piece, and its value is only as much as the thirty taels of silver when it was sold to Lu Yuan.

As for Brother Lu, after getting this jade piece, he was able to open the fairy fate smoothly, which shows that the other party has a relationship with this thing.

It is better for a treasure to fall into the hands of one's own friends than in the hands of the rain and those who have nothing to do, and it is not left out.

And Brother Lu also told me about the cause and effect of the immortal fate, and the jade tablets only left some biographical accounts of Gao Zu, as well as a Five Thunder Immortal Method, and the immortal qi required to cultivate the Immortal Method.

The remaining immortal qi can at most allow people to condense a five-element qi on the way to cultivating immortals.

At this point, I can only live for 200 years.

Now that I have lost this immortal fate, Brother Lu has helped me break through the innate nature.

Becoming an innate grandmaster can also be received for one hundred and fifty years, although it is not as good as the immortal path, but it is almost far away.

To be able to exchange a fairy fate that I can't get for the opportunity now is already a deep blessing and a fluke. ’

Sun Siwen looked at the fairy jade piece for a while, and these thoughts flashed in his heart.

He was not much dissatisfied with the fact that his family heirloom was taken away by Lu Yuan, but he was quite happy.

Use the treasures that you can't use, and are even likely to lose, in exchange for friends who can rise all the way, build a country and become kings, and take yourself to this day, become the prime minister of a country, and immediately break through the innate nature.

No matter who you choose, you won't regret it.

"Brother Sun, it's on!"

Just as Sun Siwen's mind was surging, Lu Yuan next to him shouted, and suddenly the jade piece in front of him was bright with blue light, and a cloud of colorful aura turned into a river, extradited out of the jade piece, and surged towards him.

A feeling of coolness instantly spread in Sun Siwen's body with the influx of aura.

This made him startled for an instant, and he quickly gathered his distracting thoughts, and then began to meditate on Chiyang according to the method that Lu Yuan had pointed out countless times on this premise.

With the artistic conception meditation, the cool feeling flowing in his body began to slowly transform in an instant.

A hint of heat began to gush out of the blood in the meridians.

Those flowing cool aura, as if guided by it, quickly turned into boiling qi, and began to echo with the artistic conception of Chiyang.

A round of big sun hanging high, at this time in Sun Siwen's meditation space, blooming with bright light.

At the same time, in the endless void, the sky descended on the Milky Way, and countless spiritual qi poured in frantically, turning into stars, and rushing towards the great sun.

In the face of such an impact, the great sun was not only not extinguished, but became brighter and brighter, as if it had been refueled, and burned more and more hot.

Meanwhile.

Outside, the temperature in the pavilion rose rapidly, and gradually turned into a heat wave, making the air a little distorted.

The bamboo curtains and pavilion pillars that were blocked next to them were a little unbearable under this huge temperature, and there were traces of scorched black.

Looking at this appearance, it seems that the temperature is rising a little, and the whole kiosk will be ignited.

Lu Yuan pinched the trick and helped Sun Siwen extradite the aura, and some of the divine thoughts that were separated, seeing the surrounding situation, frowned slightly.

Then with a thought in his mind, his condensed Chiyang True Intention released his meaning, and instantly suppressed the hot temperature around him, limiting it to Sun Siwen's body.

After doing this, he looked at Sun Siwen.

At this time, this friend's appearance is a little weird.

The crimson light turned into countless silk threads, and in the meridians and blood in his body, it continued to flow, burning his body and releasing countless hot gases, and the whole person was extremely red.

The clothes that covered the other party had already turned to ashes at this time, and they were all naked.

"The body is being refined, and with me in control, this is not a problem."

At this time, those crimson rays that turned into silk threads were transformed by Lu Yuan's aura manipulated with Chiyang's true intentions, and with his understanding of Chiyang's divine skills, as well as his body that had undergone two major transformations, it was natural to guide Sun Siwen's body to undergo a small transformation.

But the physical transformation is done by yourself, and there is no problem.

But the transformation of the divine soul can only rely on Sun Siwen himself, and outsiders cannot interfere.

The soul is the most fundamental thing of a person, even more important than the body, and the emphasis is on a pure privacy, which does not allow external objects to be contaminated.

So even if it was Lu Yuan, as long as he didn't want to destroy Sun Siwen's foundation and make the other party's soul half-disabled, then he couldn't set foot in the other party's soul.

At the very least, with his current ability, he couldn't get involved without guaranteeing that he wouldn't hurt the other party's spirit.

Therefore, at this time, refining the soul with aura can only rely on this friend's own summoning.

"However, with Brother Sun's state of mind and that tenacious will, it should not be difficult to complete the transformation of the soul. So I just need to draw the aura and help him complete the physical transformation, while waiting slowly. ”

Thinking like this, Lu Yuan continued to extract more aura and put it into Sun Siwen's body.

If you want to complete the transformation of your body and soul, you need to spend a lot of aura.

Based on Lu Yuan's prediction and intention, one-third of the remaining aura of the jade piece at this time will be used in this transformation.

So much aura, almost equivalent to three hundred elixirs.

Such a huge amount of energy is the confidence he has to transform Sun Siwen.

However, if you want to absorb these aura, it is not an overnight thing, and the transformation of the body and soul cannot be achieved overnight.

During this period, there is still a process.

Time passes slowly.

The sky is getting dark, and as the wind and snow have stopped now, a bright moon has appeared in the night sky for the first time in a long time.

However, Lu Yuan, who was sitting in the court at this time, did not have the time to enjoy the moon, but continued to assist Sun Siwen in his transformation.

The people in the palace had already received his orders, and at this time, the entire vicinity of Bifang Garden had long been blocked, and no one could enter or leave without an order.

With the defense of the palace and Lan Cai'er in charge, even if a congenital master comes in, don't want to break into this place.

Therefore, Lu Yuan didn't have to worry about outsiders disturbing him.

The moon rises and sets, and the moon sets......

In an instant, three days passed.

In the small pavilion, the originally scorching temperature gradually decreased at this time, and Sun Siwen's surface was also covered with a layer of unpleasant filth.

Under these filths, a trace of skin occasionally revealed is snow-white and tender, like a baby, revealing a surging fragrance.

And Sun Siwen's expression gradually eased at this time, and a strong sense was brewing on him.

Finally.

As if accumulating to the limit, a red flame instantly appeared around Sun Siwen's body.

The nearby void was scorched by this flame at this time, and it actually appeared a little distorted.

Lu Yuan originally suppressed the blockade with Chiyang's true intent, but at this time, some cracks were burned out by this flame, which made the terrible temperature come out, and ignited several bamboo curtains next to him.

However, neither of them in the court cared about this.

Lu Yuan just waved his hand, and the huge true air swirled, extinguishing the ignited flame.

At the same time, the blockade was strengthened, so that the red flame that leaked out continued to be confined around Sun Siwen's body and could not spread further.

And as if he was also aware of the changes in the outside world, Sun Siwen slowly began to collect the red flame that was unconsciously emitted and slowly withdrew it into his body.

After all the red flames were finished, he finally opened his eyes, and a red light flashed in his eyes.

Looking around, and then at his friend who was staring at him in front of him, Sun Siwen showed a smile on his face, and said loudly: "Brother Lu, the body and soul have transformed, the red sun has become a success, and I am fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

"Hahaha!"

Lu Yuan looked the other party up and down, let out a burst of laughter, and said happily in his heart: "I know that Brother Sun will not let me down." In just three days, he trained his body and soul, and even preliminarily condensed the true meaning of Chiyang.

With this true intention, there is no doubt that Brother Sun will break through the innate nature.

After that, you only need to take the elixir to grow your internal force to the limit of the first-class martial arts, and at the same time nurture and grow your true intention, which can be achieved in an instant. ”

Yes, with the help of Lu Yuan, after three days of transformation, Sun Siwen's body and soul were finally refined into an innate body and an innate soul, which had met the requirements for breaking through the innate spirit.

Even the true intent of the martial arts used to control the outer body of the martial arts, the other party also condensed it in advance.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of Lu Yuan's influence, but the martial arts true intent that the other party has transformed is actually the same Chiyang True Fire as him.

It doesn't matter, though.

Regardless of whether it is Chiyang True Fire or not, this is already the prototype of the outer body of the martial arts, a proper innate level of power.

At this time, Sun Siwen, just relying on this martial arts true intent, was able to exert some of the power of the innate grandmaster.

Even in the face of other innate grandmasters, they have some self-preservation power, and they can fight with each other a few times.

Of course, if you don't break through the innate for a day, you won't be the opponent of the innate grandmaster for a day.

Sun Siwen just has a little more means than other first-class masters.

If you really fight, if you don't find an opportunity to escape in advance, it won't take much effort for the Innate Grandmaster to kill him.

But even so, with this background, Sun Siwen only needs to take the elixir, digest the aura in it, further strengthen his newly transformed body and soul, and then slowly improve the martial arts true intent he has just condensed during this period.

The next breakthrough is natural, and there will be no more difficulties.

Originally, after accumulating enough first-class peak masters, Sun Siwen didn't have to think about issues such as condensing the true intent of martial arts, structuring martial arts external bodies, etc., relying on learning from Lu Yuan, he had already completed this step at this time.

And this transformation, Brother Sun's cultivation also broke through to the first-class realm of martial arts in one fell swoop, and he also opened up the three meridians in one go.

This cultivation, placed among the first-class masters, can also be ranked in the middle level.

With this breakthrough, I only need to provide him with about a hundred spirit pills in the future, and spend two years to increase the foundation, and my Da Chu can have one more innate grandmaster. ’

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked at Sun Siwen, and the joy on his face was even worse.

The other party's harvest brought by the transformation breakthrough is even bigger than he imagined, which is really a surprise.

However, now Sun Siwen has only broken through, and it is the time when he needs to stabilize his foundation.

Therefore, Lu Yuan, asked about the other party's situation again, helped him check his body, and after confirming that there was no problem, he mentioned some future cultivation tips.

Then I asked my friend to go back first and dive by myself.

This time, he helped Sun Siwen transform, successfully laid the foundation for his friend Congenitally, and also booked a powerful combat force for the Chu State, all kinds of good things made Lu Yuan feel good.

He was also a little tired after three days of busyness, so he plunged into the palace and began to relieve his fatigue in the laughter of the concubines.

During this period, except for the daily fixed cultivation and the occasional supervision of the two sons' studies, he didn't pay attention to other things.

Until January passes, and February falls.

A piece of news from the north brought Lu Yuan back to his senses from those charming warblers and swallows.

The content on the message is simple.

At the beginning of January of the seventh year of Shenwu, the Liang State gathered 30,000 elites, and raided the capital of the country on a snowy night, and broke the city in a battle.

The king of the city did not have time to escape, and was besieged by the king's palace, and died of self-immolation.

Subsequently, hundreds of officials from the city came to the city, some were killed, some surrendered, some fled, and most of the remaining troops surrendered.

After that, the Liang army attacked in the snow, swept all over the country, and in more than ten days, it destroyed this big country in Qingzhou.

The battle of Lianglai, which lasted for five years, ended in the victory of the Liang state.
