The first trace of spiritual energy was successfully released!
The first cultivator was successfully trained!
Lu Fan's heart was stirred, repeatedly and happily looking at the prompt texts.
His heart was filled with satisfaction, like planting a seed that finally sprouted.
"Reward modification and [mission] permissions activation?"
Lu Fan's eyes brightened slightly.
With a thought, he brought up the system panel.
Host: Lu Fan
Title: Qi Refiner (permanent)
Qi Refining Level: 1
Soul Strength: 1
Physical Strength: 05
Spiritual Energy: 9 strands
Reward: "Creation of Profound Qi Scriptures"
Current World Rating: Five Phoenix Continent [Low Martial]
Permissions: [Mission], [Preaching Platform], [Spiritual Energy Release]
Observing the panel, Lu Fan indeed discovered something different.
In the previously empty rewards section, there was now an entry for "Creation of Profound Qi Scriptures". Just hearing the name made Lu Fan feel like he had been injected with chicken blood, his heart was shouting in excitement.
Cultivation **!
Qi Refinement techniques that can enhance his strength!
Lu Fan only had ten strands of spiritual energy, and they were even snatched from his paralyzed legs.
It was the kind of situation where one strand less meant he would be left with nothing.
He used to worry about what to do once his spiritual energy ran out, but the appearance of this ** was just the solution to his urgent problem.
With this "Creation of Profound Qi Scriptures", he no longer needed to worry about his spiritual energy depletion.
Although he really wanted to immediately check out **.
However, Ning Zhao and the others were still in the room, so Lu Fan suppressed his excitement and shifted his attention to the [missions] option that lit up in the permissions column.
"Please, host, choose a mission."
A reminder appeared in Lu Fan's consciousness.
Taking a deep breath, Lu Fan's mind moved.
Then, a bunch of text popped up.
"Main mission: Transform Five Phoenix Continent into a Great Fantasy World (mission accepted), current mission progress: Low Martial (mission evaluation not yet enabled)."
"Side mission: Save the soon-to-be besieged Beiluo City (mission not accepted, accept or not?)"
Lu Fan carefully read through the mission requirements.
He found that there weren't many missions, apart from the main mission, there was only one side mission left.
There was no need to explain the main mission to Lu Fan; he already understood that transforming Five Phoenix Continent into a fantasy world was a long-term task that required crossing two levels: mid martial and high martial.
Moreover, Lu Fan couldn't refuse, as he had accepted the mission from the moment he obtained the system attribute panel.
What concerned Lu Fan was the side mission!
Lu Fan's gaze hardened as he stared at the mission content.
"Save Beiluo City..."
Beiluo City, the city governed by Lu Fan's father, Lu Changkong, was one of the six cities under the control of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Accept the mission."
Lu Fan didn't hesitate and chose to accept.
Although he didn't know what kind of crisis Beiluo City was facing.
Opening his eyes, the joy on Lu Fan's face gradually dissipated.
In the room.
The atmosphere became somewhat eerie.
Ning Zhao closed her eyes, sensing the spiritual energy within her body.
Li Yue stared at Lu Fan, clearly shocked by his methods.
As for Ni Yu, this girl stared with wide eyes and an open mouth, as if she could swallow a cooked egg.
What she had just witnessed and heard exceeded her imagination, and her little heart had experienced an unprecedented shock.
"Ahem."
Lu Fan coughed lightly, breaking the eerie atmosphere.
Ning Zhao's graceful body trembled, slowly opening her eyes, a hint of radiance seemed to flicker in her eyes.
"Thank you, Young Master, for bestowing me with this opportunity for enlightenment!"
Ning Zhao folded her hands, bowed deeply, and sincerely said,
"Spiritual energy!"
"I can't believe that there really is such a thing as spiritual energy in the world. Her long-held concept of martial arts was shattered."
"You felt the presence of spiritual energy, right? Gather the energy in your dantian... Your cultivation level should have made a breakthrough."
Lu Fan sat in his wheelchair, smoothing out the wrinkles on the thin blanket covering his thighs, and chuckled lightly.
"My strength has grown, it's a qualitative transformation."
Ning Zhao nodded with great joy.
Although the trace of spiritual energy was not much, for martial artists living in a low martial world without spiritual energy, it was undoubtedly a milestone breakthrough.
"Now, I can also be called a grandmaster."
A radiant smile bloomed on Ning Zhao's beautiful face.
The title of grandmaster was the realm that all martial artists dreamed of. Ning Zhao had exceptional talent in martial arts, otherwise she wouldn't have reached the level of first-class martial artist at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five.
However, if she wanted to become a grandmaster, it would take at least ten years of hard work.
I Yueh heard that Ning Zhao had actually become a grandmaster, and envy appeared on her face.
This is simply... an effortless leap!
"The first trace of spiritual energy is just the beginning. The human body is like a big furnace. After obtaining spiritual energy, you need to use that trace as a foundation, cultivate numerous strands of energy, and fill your dantian. Only then can your strength improve."
"This is the general path of cultivation in the Energy Dan Realm."
Lu Fan explained.
The term "Energy Dan Realm" was also mentioned in the previous prompts from the system.
He didn't know the specific levels of this realm yet.
However, if he wanted to create an orthodox fantasy world, the classification of cultivation realms was indispensable.
When he had free time, Lu Fan would have to discuss the classification of cultivation realms with the system.
Ning Zhao bowed again, and her respect for Lu Fan grew deeper.
Respect came from mystery.
Perhaps, as Lu Fan said, he had obtained an opportunity.
The immortal touched her head, and spiritual energy filled her body.
Even if it wasn't true, if Lu Fan possessed spiritual energy, it meant that he held the key to changing the world's situation.
The young master was destined to be extraordinary!
Moreover, Lu Fan spoke so confidently about the cultivation in the Energy Dan Realm, which made Ning Zhao even more awestruck.
"Young... Young Master..."
Suddenly, I Yueh bit her plump lips.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Fan was puzzled.
"Young Master, Yueh wants to beg for a trace of spiritual energy too."
I Yueh suddenly knelt down and knocked her head on the ground.
Ning Zhao stood up and stood beside Lu Fan, looking at I Yueh calmly.
This was a golden opportunity within reach, and no one would want to miss it. I Yueh seeking spiritual energy was expected by Ning Zhao.
Lu Fan also understood in his heart.
I Yueh was quite good at seizing opportunities, but it was a pity...
"Come find me when you become a first-class martial artist."
Lu Fan's expression remained calm as he spoke.
I Yueh trembled on the ground.
"Thank you, Young Master!"
I Yueh said.
Lu Fan didn't outright refuse her, which meant that it was her opportunity.
I Yueh stood up, pursing her lips, her eyes full of determination.
She didn't feel resentful or complain. In her opinion, Lu Fan's refusal was perhaps for her own good.
As a second-class martial artist, if she received spiritual energy and couldn't make a concerted effort to become a grandmaster, wouldn't it be a waste of this rare opportunity?
"Young Master! I want it too!"
Ni Yu, leaning against the door latch, saw that both her sisters had received Lu Fan's blessing and promise, her small face turned red, and she became anxious.
Lu Fan's mouth twitched.
He glanced at Ni Yu, rolled his eyes dismissively.
Without any politeness, he directly rejected her.
"Little girl, why are you joining the fun? Go play on the side."
Ning Zhao and I Yueh also pursed their lips.
Ni Yu: "..."
It felt as if an invisible arrow came from the sky, pierced through her small heart, and left her feeling hopeless.
Her sisters were showing off, while she was being left out.
Without paying any attention to the dejected Ni Yu, Lu Fan turned his head to look at Ning Zhao, his gaze gradually deepening, and asked, "Ning Jie, do you know the current situation in Beiluo City?"
Ning Zhao was slightly stunned. She didn't expect the young master, who had always been indifferent to Beiluo City, and focused solely on studying Confucian texts, to suddenly show concern for the situation in Beiluo City.
After all, she was a martial artist and paid more attention to such matters.
So, with slightly parted lips, she said gently,
"Chaos has arrived. The Great Zhou Dynasty has turned into a quagmire. Twelve feudal lords have risen up, besieging the capital with the intention of overthrowing the emperor. Among them, Xiang Shaoyun, the governor of the Western County, is the overall commander of the army. He issued a proclamation, claiming that the emperor is young and the national teacher is interfering in politics, causing the people to be in dire straits. He has raised an army to attack and restore peace to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Lu Fan pondered, tapping lightly on the armrest of his wheelchair with his slender fingers.
"So, Beiluo City is at the forefront and must confront the army of the twelve feudal lords?"
Lu Fan asked.
Ning Zhao shook her head.
"The enemy is indeed at the city gates, but the armies of the twelve feudal lords have not yet gathered. If the armies led by the various feudal lords attacked the city, the Lord would not be able to hold it and would choose to retreat to the capital."
"Hmm?"
Lu Fan didn't understand. Although he had fused with the memories of the original owner, he was not clear about the state of affairs in the world.
"When the Lord was discussing matters with his generals, he lamented the influence of the national teacher. As a great Confucian scholar, the national teacher called upon the martial world heroes to resist the rebels, making it difficult for the armies of the twelve feudal lords to smoothly advance."
"Now, beneath Beiluo City, there are only fifty thousand troops led by the governor of the North County, Dantai Xuan."
Ning Zhao said.
Afterwards, Ning Zhao smiled again.
"Young Master, rest assured. The Lord has said that everything is under control."
Lu Fan fell silent.
The system missions were all coming out.
Beiluo City was about to fall.
Everything is under control... What a load of crap.
