Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 832 - 749: Golden Immortal Within Reach!

Internal vision of oneself.

After pondering for a moment.

A flick of the hand, Lu Qingfeng took out the peaches, ginseng fruit, and Nine Revolutions Golden Core bestowed by the Jade Emperor.

The flower basket was splendid.

The peaches were the most numerous.

"Six baskets of big peaches, thirty-six baskets of medium peaches, one hundred and eight baskets of small peaches."

"Twelve in each basket."

That's seventy-two big peaches, four hundred and thirty-two medium peaches, and one thousand two hundred and ninety-six small peaches.

Such a large number of peaches.

If all are consumed, as long as the Dao ability is sufficient, they could even allow Lu Qingfeng's main body to directly ascend to a Golden Immortal.

Moreover, the foundation would be solid, without any hidden dangers.

It's a pity.

At this current time and space, Lu Qingfeng's Dao ability is still lacking; wanting to cultivate to Golden Immortal in one stroke, only with these peaches, might not be enough.

After thinking it over.

He decided to reserve a portion.

Dividing among his disciples and trusted lieutenants, based on their cultivation level—

One big peach for a Heavenly Immortal.

One medium peach for an Earth Immortal.

One small peach for a True Immortal.

Although he has many direct disciples, they are both numerous and few.

Among Heavenly Immortals, there are only Xuan Ningzi, Xuan Yuzi, and Six-winged, and he prepares one for his eldest disciple Wang Li, taking out four big peaches.

Earth Immortals aren't numerous.

Counting them carefully—

Five Directions Realm: Eldest disciple Qin Wei (reincarnation of Ding Yu), second disciple Longevity Daoist (Zheng Chi).

Qin Wei was already at the Earth Immortal Dao ability before reincarnation.

Upon retraining, verifying Earth Immortal Dao Fruit was simply a matter of course. Furthermore, his creation of the "Star Constellation Great Method" has limitless potential; his future achievements could likely be at the top among Lu Qingfeng's disciples.

Lu Qingfeng places great hopes on him.

Since he achieved the Dao, Qin Wei has been stationed in the Five Directions Realm on Lu Qingfeng's behalf, with notable contributions. As for others in the Five Directions Realm, they're still stuck in the True Immortal Realm for the time being.

Black Star Realm: Lin Feng, Lin Ye, Wen Guang, Zhang Yang.

These four need no further mention.

As for Mountain Wind and Lark.

Since Lu Qingfeng returned from the Nanhua Realm, having cultivated to Earth Immortal, he had Lin Ye bring Immortal Pills to assist the cultivation of the two. After his return from the Immortal Qin Realm to the Earth Immortal World, Mountain Wind and Lark also cultivated to the fourth realm of True Immortal. They're now stationed at Tianhe, though yet to reach True Immortal peak, with some distance from Earth Immortal.

With Lu Qingfeng present.

Under his enlightenment, it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate to Earth Immortal.

Galaxy Realm: 'Power God' Qian Yu, 'Fire God' Zhang Sun, 'Earth God' Zhuge Qing, Qian Xiaoyu, Wang Meng, Zhang Jin, Sun Junjun, Dong Yunyang, Wang Meng.

A total of nine witch immortals.

The most in number.

Though cultivating witchcraft, they're equivalent to the Earth Immortal level. At Tianhe as generals, their battle formations and slayings are even above the Immortal Dao Earth Immortals.

This is the realm Lu Qingfeng invested the least effort in.

Their achievements are more due to the reviving environment of witchcraft in the Galaxy Realm rather than any influence from Lu Qingfeng.

Barbarian God Realm: Fifth disciple Xuan Zheng.

Among his direct disciples, the only Earth Immortal is the fifth disciple Xuan Zheng.

The others are either registered disciples or grandchildren generation, or have switched to cultivate the Barbarian God Path.

Of course, there are breakthroughs like Xuan Ningzi and Xuan Yuzi who have become Heavenly Immortals.

Apart from Xuan Ningzi, Xuan Yuzi, these disciples and followers remain in the Barbarian God Realm, difficult to transport, thus temporarily not considered.

Immortal Qin Realm: Ao Jun, Zhang Shu.

In this realm.

Lu Qingfeng hasn't taken in any disciples.

Ao Jun is his wife's nephew, Zhang Shu his subordinate, both have cultivated to Earth Immortal. The former stationed in Guang Yuan Realm, the latter now at Tianhe, both holding significant positions.

As for this current lifetime.

Coming to the Earth Immortal World.

Those who can be considered close are the three namely Iron Feather Daoist, Si Tuqian, Chi Cheng Daoist who served in the General Mansion, all possessing the Earth Immortal Dao ability.

Thus.

This comprises all Earth Immortals under Lu Qingfeng's tutelage.

Counting on one hand.

Excluding the Barbarian God Realm.

There's only twenty Earth Immortals.

To Tianpeng True Monarch who manages Tianhe, it is indeed paltry.

However, due to the modest scale, the peaches granted by the Jade Emperor are sufficient to distribute.

Everyone gets their share.

Taking out two baskets of medium peaches is more than sufficient.

As for True Immortal disciples.

Most were gathered in the Five Directions Realm—the fourth disciple Jiang Yunxi (Fairy Yan Lan reincarnated), fifth disciple Zhang Jingshan, sixth disciple Gongyang Ye, seventh disciple Mu Yunzhou, eighth disciple Shen Lanqing, ninth disciple Mu Chen.

And Black Star Realm's Mountain Wind, Lark.

Only a few people.

Less than ten.

True Immortals have limited life span.

Recently, Lu Qingfeng seldom accepts students, most of the previous disciples who didn't achieve the Dao have reached their life limit and reincarnated.

The number, naturally, isn't large.

One or two baskets of small peaches are enough to share.

Small True Immortals, consuming peaches.

Even if they're just small peaches, surely their Dao ability and mana will soar.

Based on these disciples' cultivation progress, it is enough for them to achieve the peak of True Immortal in one go, perhaps even verify the Dao.

Even if they can't become Earth Immortals.

As long as they reach the peak of True Immortal.

With Lu Qingfeng's 'enlightenment', verifying Earth Immortal Dao would be quite easy.

After becoming Earth Immortal.

What future achievements these disciples have will now depend on their personal disposition and fate.

Apart from disciples and lieutenants.

Within the Water Mansion, the Nine Heavens Slaughter General and other Tianhe admirals, in this battle, idled and did not exert effort, Lu Qingfeng noticed and will not easily grant;

Not even a single small peach. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

One must know.

With the grade of these admirals, in past peach banquets, they might not even get a piece of small peach flesh.

Under Lu Qingfeng.

Don't even think of peaches.

They can have some delicacies and immortal brews.

If in the future they heed orders diligently, Lu Qingfeng won't be miserly in rewards.

If they continue to slack off, not only peaches, it'll only be a matter of time before they are expelled from Tianhe.

"Send a basket of big peaches, two baskets of medium peaches, and two baskets of small peaches to my elder brothers."

"One basket of big peaches, two baskets of medium peaches, and two baskets of small peaches for Yao'er and Xiao'er."

"And leave a basket of big peaches for Le'er to taste."

Lu Qingfeng calculates mentally.

After this distribution, he still has three baskets of big peaches left.

The medium and small peaches are numerous; the amounts gifted could be overlooked.

Thinking it over.

A portion still needs to be reserved for those immortal ministers and colleagues.

Reluctant to part with the big peaches.

Don't want to part with the medium peaches.

At least not to consume all the small peaches alone.

"Alas!"

"I must give up something after all!"

Lu Qingfeng sighed deeply. He was reluctant to give, but considering future collaborations with the Heavenly Court, they would frequently meet, both intentionally and unintentionally, so how could he afford to be too stingy?

Fortunately, these divine peaches wouldn't be given away for nothing.

The immortals who received the peaches would certainly return the favor or lend support in the future.

At worst, it was just a small loss.

However.

It's only the divine peaches.

There were only three Ginseng fruits, and apart from his wife and children, Lu Qingfeng wouldn't give them to anyone else.

The reputation of the Ginseng fruit was unmatched, and even for Golden Immortals, it could significantly bolster mana and Dao abilities. Its taste was superb, and even Great Powers like the Jade Emperor and Buddha would shamelessly ask Immortal Zhenyuan for one or two just to satisfy their cravings.

For Lu Qingfeng, a Heavenly Immortal.

The effect was even greater.

Enhancing mana and advancing his Dao ability were all within reach.

It was an unparalleled treasure.

One would be reserved for Ao Le, Lu Xiao, and Lu Yao.

The remaining two were enough to greatly advance Lu Qingfeng's Dao journey.

And as for the Nine Revolutions Golden Core.

The gourd contained three in total.

Lu Qingfeng had consumed the Nine Revolutions Golden Core during the Western Tour, and it was precisely due to its mysteriousness that he could harness the accumulation from devouring numerous divine peaches, achieving the status of a Golden Immortal in one go.

Increasing mana was secondary.

Advancing Dao cultivation was the formidable aspect.

After consuming it, one could comprehend Dao rapidly, as if aided by divine intervention.

Golden Immortals could gain great insight, not to mention the relatively minor Heavenly Immortal.

When the Great Sage Equalling Heaven swallowed the Nine Revolutions Golden Core and was tempered in the Furnace of Eight Trigrams, he advanced directly to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

Such was its power.

These three Nine Revolutions Golden Cores, combined with the divine peaches and Ginseng fruit.

Might elevate Lu Qingfeng's cultivation to the Golden Immortal level in one stroke.

But if it was still slightly lacking.

Then.

"Celestial Cycle Stars."

Lu Qingfeng's eyes shone brightly.

He remembered he could still cultivate within the 'Celestial Cycle Stars' for three more years. With these immortal pills and fruits bestowed by the Jade Emperor, there was great hope of reaching Golden Immortal status.

If it still wasn't enough.

He had the Dharma images and Golden Bodies of figures like Guang Power Bodhisattva, Eight Treasures Bodhisattva, Ling Ji Bodhisattva, and Buddha-bearing King.

Each was a Golden Immortal who had cultivated over countless Yuan Hui, whose Dharma images and Golden Bodies condensed mana accumulated over countless Yuan Hui.

With careful refining, their effects were entirely on par with divine peaches and other spiritual objects.

Reviewing his possessions.

Lu Qingfeng stood with his hands behind his back, finally unable to hold back a hearty laugh—

"Golden Immortal is within reach!"

...

There's no rush to head to the Celestial Cycle Stars.

With the recent departure of the Buddha soldiers, Tianhe was unsettled, and there were still nine million Buddha soldiers to manage. With a multitude of matters in Tianhe, Lu Qingfeng, the Tianhe General and Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, couldn't leave and was unable to fully focus on cultivation.

Thus he divided his mind.

On one hand, managing the affairs of Tianhe, and on the other, cultivating in Tianpeng Water Mansion.

The once quiet Tianhe, after this conflict, became bustling and crowded.

Some sought to take advantage.

These were mostly Heavenly Court immortals.

Witnessing the Jade Emperor bestowing baskets of divine peaches in the Spirit Xiao Palace, their eyes turned envious, wanting to cozy up to the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy and ask for a small peach to taste.

Lu Qingfeng remained ambiguous.

He absolutely wouldn't give them away carelessly.

Gradually, some grew dissatisfied, and gossip emerged—

"An unyielding Great Marshal, a stingy Little True Monarch."

Bringing quite some notoriety to Lu Qingfeng.

Lu Qingfeng ignored them completely.

He continued his ways.

Besides those seeking favors.

There were also those seeking connections.

Previously uncertain of Tianhe's situation, with the Buddha Commander and his eighteen million strong Buddha soldiers occupying the Northern Realm, the Tianpeng Water Mansion waning, and unsure of how long the newly appointed Tianpeng True Monarch could hold on.

As such, everyone was observing.

This time.

Lu Qingfeng single-handedly devoured nine million Buddha soldiers, driving out the Buddha-bearing King and the remaining nine million soldiers from Tianhe back to Spiritual Mountain, solidifying the position of Tianpeng as stable as Mount Tai, with Tianhe firmly established.

A future full of promise.

Prospects unlimited.

Thus many came to seek allegiance.

However.

For the time being, the majority were True Immortals and Earth Immortals.

Few were Heavenly Immortals.

There wasn't a single Golden Immortal.

Lu Qingfeng welcomed all comers through proper procedures.

Those who passed were accepted, and those who did not were turned away. Some were quite well-connected, being disciples and followers of various Heavenly Court immortals.

Searching for opportunities.

Building relationships.

They wished to be posted to Tianhe, publicly stating Lu Qingfeng could mentor them.

In the Heavenly Court.

Some interpersonal interactions and social dealings were unavoidable.

Today someone might seek you.

Tomorrow you might seek someone else.

One never knows for certain.

Though Lu Qingfeng was just and upright, he was also adept at understanding human relationships. Conveniently, Tianhe needed people, so he accepted most of them.

The capable rise to the top.

Those merely out for benefits were placed in idle or nominal positions, left to their own devices.

As long as they didn't act recklessly and influence the stability of Tianhe, it mattered little.

Administrative duties of Tianhe.

Lu Qingfeng handled them one by one.

Thus establishing connections and building relationships with the many immortals of the Heavenly Court.

Some immortals rushed to send people into Tianhe.

Others had disciples and followers spread across the Three Realms, whom Lu Qingfeng personally visited, requesting one or two Heavenly Immortals to bolster the Tianhe Water Army.

When visiting, he always had to offer something.

Thus, a number of small peaches were discreetly given away.

By this point.

The initial excitement had already passed.

Thanks to Lu Qingfeng's caution.

If the immortals had come rushing in and he couldn't contain himself, giving away everything recklessly, no amount of divine peaches could suffice.

The only regret was.

'Great Marshal, Little True Monarch.'

This notorious nickname had spread far and wide.

But Lu Qingfeng didn't care about such things, otherwise, he would surely have been angered to death.

The passage of time.

Swept by swiftly.

While Lu Qingfeng was managing mundane affairs, he never neglected his cultivation.
