To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Chapter 714: Chapter 317: The Beauty Fades Away_3

Inspired by this.

He quickly formed a plan for washing and refining the spiritual energy of his two sons.

In just ten days, he had a complete plan.

By this point, the “Innate Dao Body” creation plan was more than half complete.

So on a lucky day, taking advantage of the good weather, Lu Yuan brought his eldest son, Lu He, to the same Bifang Garden where he had helped Sun Siwen refine his body and soul last time, and began to help him with spiritual energy refinement.

With the experience from last time and months of research, the “Innate Dao Body” was completed in just five days, without much effort.

It even took two more days than last time, mainly because Lu He was only a child, with far less powerful mental and spiritual strength than Sun Siwen. As a result, Lu Yuan had to put in more energy and control everything 100%.

Nevertheless, Lu He’s success demonstrated the feasibility of the “Innate Dao Body” plan.

So, taking advantage of the momentum, he rested for two days to recover his physical and mental strength before helping his second son, Lu Hao, complete the Dao Body refinement as well.

Thus, both of his sons had innate talent and obtained the key to the Innate Realm.

With the beginnings of their Dao Bodies and the gate to the Innate Realm opened, Lu Yuan began to teach his two sons to cultivate.

The cultivation technique he taught his two sons was still the Chi Yang Divine Skill.

However, the name of the divine skill remained unchanged, but its content, after years of breakthroughs into the Innate Realm by Lu Yuan, supplemented and revised by integrating some of the essence of the Taiping Dao Book and the Five Thunder Book, had turned into a powerful Innate Cultivation Method.

Not only did it begin with the basics but also lead directly to the Innate Realm.

He even deduced the cultivation methods for the first and second realms of the Innate Realm.

Such mysterious power was considered top-notch in the world.

Practicing this divine skill was incomparable to ordinary cultivation techniques.

Lu He and Lu Hao just began practicing, and in just three months, they had opened up one of their meridians.

Compared to ordinary people who only open a meridian in three to four years, their speed was more than ten times faster.

Even Lu Yuan could not help but be amazed when he saw it.

Upon examining their progress, he confirmed that there were no problems with how quickly his two sons were cultivating.

He eventually guessed that their rapid cultivation speed was mostly due to their “Innate Dao Body,” the improved Chi Yang Divine Skill, and the guidance from both Lu Yuan and Lan Cai’er, who were both at the Innate Grandmaster level.

After all, the “Innate Dao Body” he gave his two sons is the special talent of the protagonist in those novels, coupled with the divine skill and two Innate Grandmaster parents…

Hiss—

It seemed that Lu He and Lu Hao were indeed treated like true protagonists.

Even if they weren’t the main characters, they’d still be the genius antagonists against the protagonist.

Either way, it’s quite terrifying.

Therefore, after realizing this, Lu Yuan didn’t feel much of a ripple in his heart regarding his two sons’ rapid progress.

Instead, he cared even more about the mental cultivation of the two little ones.

Even in martial arts, the requirements for one’s state of mind are very strict.

If they fail to control their growing Inner Strength due to their mental cultivation, they may eventually lose balance, suffer from qi deviation, and face life-threatening consequences.

Fortunately, it is only when martial arts reach the second-rate level that there are requirements for one’s state of mind. There is still some time before his two sons reach this realm, so there’s no need to worry too much for now.

Nevertheless, Lu Yuan had decided to have Lu He and Lu Hao slow down their cultivation progress.

Before ensuring that their mental state was sufficient, he would personally monitor them without letting their cultivation grow too fast.

Lan Cai’er also agreed with this point and was determined to pay more attention to the children’s progress herself.

After all, as the master of a country, Lu Yuan was busy with tasks and frequently went out on expeditions, so he couldn’t spare too much time to be with his two sons.

In such cases, it was up to her as the mother to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the children.

Fortunately, she had grown accustomed to doing so over the past several years and didn’t find it troublesome or tiring.

On the contrary, seeing her two sons successfully transform filled her with joy and happiness.

Lu Yuan could see the “protagonist” treatment his two sons received and knew how terrifying it was. As the former actual female protagonist in Jianghu, Lan Cai’er had an even better understanding.

In her two sons, she saw a reflection of her past self; no, she should say that her two sons were even more outstanding than she had been.

With such talent and the identity of the princes of Chu State, their future breakthrough to the Innate Realm was as good as certain.

With their son having a bright future, Lan Cai’er’s hope and expectations were finally fulfilled.

And after putting her mind at ease, naturally, she had more energy to focus on herself.

Then, during an intimate moment with Lu Yuan, when they were painting their eyebrows together in front of a mirror, Lan Cai’er’s mood suddenly collapsed when she saw their reflection.

Although both of them were handsome and beautiful, there was a noticeable difference in their appearances.

He still looked youthful and vigorous, like a young dragon.

She, on the other hand, had matured and showed signs of aging.

In simple terms, one looked sixteen while the other looked twenty-six.

Despite both being young, the difference in their ages was quite obvious.

But there was no helping it.

Although the Taiping Dao Book was a cultivation method that consumed one’s lifespan, Lu Yuan had practiced for many years, and he should have burned at least two or three hundred years of his lifespan – which would be an entire life for an Inborn Grandmaster.

Nevertheless, even so, with his nearly infinite lifespan, it was like a drop in the ocean, or rather, he couldn’t even feel the loss of his lifespan.

His sixteen-year-old body stayed the same.

Eternal Youth and Immortal Blessings – this described Lu Yuan.

However, while he remained young and vibrant, Lan Cai’er’s body inevitably began to age.

Or perhaps it couldn’t be called aging but rather maturing.

After all, at the age of forty, she hadn’t even reached one-third of her 150-year lifespan as an Inborn Grandmaster.

But even so, seeing her husband still young, without any traces of time’s passage on his body, and knowing that her own body would gradually mature and eventually face aging –n

This cruel reality was a significant blow to any woman.

“Women want to please the ones they love. Your Majesty’s cultivation of Immortal Techniques keeps you forever young. But although I have achieved minor success in martial arts and can enjoy a lifespan of 150 years, I cannot escape the suffering of aging.

Now, I am still young and can maintain some of my beauty.

But in twenty or thirty years, I won’t be able to preserve my youth.

When I face Your Majesty with my aged appearance and your youthful face at that time, I’ll only feel ashamed.”

Since that day when they were painting eyebrows in front of the mirror, every time Lan Cai’er made love with Lu Yuan and thought about this, her heart would be suffocated.

Lu Yuan was also helpless about it.

His longevity was limited to himself and couldn’t be shared with others.

But now, with the decline of spiritual energy and the Age of Dharma Decline, attaining eternal youth by cultivating immortality was also impossible.

However, seeing Lan Cai’er’s melancholy mood, Lu Yuan felt somewhat uncomfortable as well.

At the beginning, they didn’t have much affection for each other, but after more than ten years of marriage and living together day and night, their love and friendship had deepened.

Although he knew that their difference in lifespan would inevitably make them part ways eventually, he wanted to fulfill her wish before she departs, allowing her to leave with her best appearance as a form of compensation.

He had compensated their two sons, and his wife’s compensation, Lu Yuan believed, shouldn’t be overlooked.

However, he wasn’t sure how to preserve her appearance.

In the end, he could only ask people to look for age-defying techniques in Jianghu, and browse through Dao Books to find out what the ancient immortals used to keep their youthful appearance, and try to see if he could make any breakthroughs.

Apart from that, the Immortal Sect Ziyun Dao was also an option.

But seeking age-defying techniques from those Immortal Sects wasn’t the right time yet, and for his own safety, Lu Yuan didn’t want to wander around other Immortal Sects without enough strength.

Fortunately, Lan Cai’er was only starting to mature now, and there was no need to worry about aging for the next thirty or forty years.

There was still plenty of time, enough to wait slowly.

So Lu Yuan was not in a hurry. He just started his own research to see if he could find any solutions.

While he was tinkering and busying himself, the world outside continued to change, and time passed by.

Before they knew it, two years had gone by in the blink of an eye.

And the time came to Shenwu Year Nine.
