To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

Translator: 549690339

Isn’t it just a matter of matchmaking?

If I, a True Person of the six major Dao Veins, personally propose a marriage for you, would that be enough to give face and display a grand scene?

As expected, when Anqiu True Person said this, Lan Zhaoyun became even more delighted.

With such a True Person as a matchmaker, the marriage between her daughter and Lu Yuan would gain an additional layer of treasure.

Even Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange were slightly surprised, not expecting Anqiu to be so proactive. They exchanged glances, and their estimation of each other’s relationship with Lu Yuan also increased by a few points.

It seemed that General Lu’s relationship with these Daoist cultivators was not as simple as they had imagined.

Lu Yuan looked at Anqiu True Person curiously, not knowing why the old Daoist was so proactive.

He didn’t guess the other party’s thoughts.

After all, he never intended to cultivate the Taiping Dao Book, so he wouldn’t think deeply about it.

But with an extra helping hand for nothing, Lu Yuan wouldn’t refuse, and he nodded with a smile: “In that case, I’ll trouble the True Person.”

Anqiu True Person stroked his beard and said, “It’s a small matter, not a bother at all. Being able to propose a marriage for Taoist Lu is also a blessing for Poor Daoist.”

So, the matter of marriage proposal was settled.

After such an incident, the friendly atmosphere between the few people became even more harmonious.

Then, Lu Yuan led them to continue inspecting the army under his command.

The Zhouyue Decisive Battle was to take place next year.

For a battle happening right at his doorstep, Lu Yuan could not possibly stay out of it, nor would he want to.

By then, to preserve his interests in the great battle, he would naturally need enough strength.

This strength was not only from Inborn Grandmasters like them but also from the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in front of them.

So, for the inspection and training of the soldiers, he took it very seriously.

Not only him, but Yan Wangqiu and Su Xuange, who had jointly established the alliance, as well as Anqiu True Person, who had special expectations for Lu Yuan, and Lan Zhaoyun, who had just settled the marriage, all watched with great seriousness.

The strength of Lu Yuan’s army directly affected the interests of these four people, so they would not take it lightly.

Fortunately, after an inspection, the four of them were extremely satisfied.

These one hundred thousand elite soldiers did not disappoint, showing the qualities and values they should have.

It was not until nightfall that the inspection finally came to an end.

In the end, Lu Yuan announced rewards for the army to commend the soldiers, and the inspection ended amidst waves of cheers.

During the inspection, Lu Yuan reviewed the army, strengthened the confidence of his allies, subdued the Five Poisons Sect, and even gained a wife for free.

Overall, the gains were bountiful.

However, after the inspection, he did not bother to continue supervising the training of the army and immediately got busy.

As the date of the court’s expedition approached, Lu Yuan’s workload grew more and more.

For example, sending someone to take over Qianling County and recruiting the thirty thousand Miao soldiers from the city.

Or preparing betrothal gifts for Anqiu True Person to take for the marriage proposal.

And starting to arrange for mobilization in various prefectures and counties, recruiting militia, gathering food and fodder, and preparing for the upcoming battle next year.

As for the deployment of local defenders during the war.

Lastly, receiving the supplies continuously brought by Dan Ding Path and distributing them for practical use.

Such matters and more simply could not be handled without the coordination of General Lu himself.

Apart from these official duties, the date of the Iron Sword Sect’s destruction was also slowly approaching.

Lu Yuan was planning to start the action during the First Month after the New Year.

The Iron Sword Sect was entrenched in Luling Prefecture, with nearly a thousand direct disciples and even more affiliated forces spread across the land.

To annihilate such a massive force with a widespread presence, it was not something that could be achieved with a heated head and a simple clap of the hands.

Lu Yuan needed to gather enough manpower, devise a perfect plan and prepare the personnel and channels for the transportation of the seized treasures after the annihilation, only then could he be fully prepared.

As for the transportation of treasures, he turned to Anqiu True Person.

Currently, Dan Ding Path was busy transporting supplies for him, having numerous channels and personnel. Adhering to the idea of deceiving more since he had already deceived, Lu Yuan directly used the personnel and channels of Dan Ding Path.

For Anqiu True Person, who had a slight sense of guilt and wanted to compensate, this request was naturally not a problem.

As soon as Lu Yuan brought it up, he patted his chest and agreed, immediately arranging his subordinates to coordinate with Lu Yuan.

With this, the problem was solved.

Regarding manpower.

Lu Yuan mobilized his own disciples.

After the previous bestowment of elixir, the overall strength of his disciples had made a qualitative leap.

There were now five first-rate experts, ten second-rate experts, and forty-two third-rate experts. This scale was far superior to the Iron Sword Sect.

So, after careful consideration, Lu Yuan left Chu Wei and Li Liang to guard Dongting County.

He then took Zhou Qing, Han Shun, and Zhang You, the three first-rate disciples, along with six second-rate disciples and twenty third-rate disciples to Luling Prefecture to carry out the plan of annihilation.

Joining them were Lu Yuan’s five hundred personal guards.

After years of continuous nurturing and his willingness to spend money, Lu Yuan’s personal guards now numbered three thousand, with more than half of them having cultivated Inner Strength.

The rest would also be able to cultivate Inner Strength in a year or two.

Selecting five hundred guards with Inner Strength, plus himself and those twenty-nine disciples as a sharp blade, combined with powerful bows and crossbows, it would be more than enough to uproot the small Iron Sword Sect.
