Journey to the head

Chapter 557 My Intentions
At this moment, all kinds of thoughts conflicted fiercely in Lu Qian's mind. The spiritual power that was originally rotating in an orderly manner along the practice route of "Taishang Yuanling Zhenhai Xuan Gong" suddenly became scattered and out of control, entering the meridians throughout the body and filling the acupoints, paralyzing his whole body all of a sudden, and even his eyes slowly became bloodshot and turned red.

The golden elixir vibrated violently, and the spiritual pressure radiated restlessly, which made Jiang Qingfeng and Wang Yu both shocked and unable to move.

But Lu Qian himself seemed unaware, and intense thoughts continued to churn in his mind.

I am the head of Yunshan Sect, so naturally everything is for the benefit of Yunshan Sect. It is only natural to support Shen Jialuo to take the position.

But this is to add insult to injury, it is despicable. I have always acted in an upright manner, how could I do such a thing?
In this world, every bite and every drink has its own destiny. People with reckless personalities and stubborn minds who cannot hide their true intentions, although their paths are full of dangers and they are criticized, often have a smooth mind and no obstacles.

On the other hand, those who are meticulous in character and plan everything before doing anything may have better development and performance on the path of cultivation, but they have deep mental barriers that are difficult to see through.

Lu Qian naturally belonged to the latter. He had entered the Dao for several decades and had achieved the Golden Elixir. He practiced very quickly and was decisive in killing when it was time to take action. He thought he was firm in character, unstoppable, and difficult to shake.

But at this moment, due to the time and situation, a doubt arises from the depths of my heart, a doubt about myself, the past, and the future, which is about to shatter all my beliefs in an instant.

In just a few words, Lu Qian's mental disorder suddenly rose, his mind was in chaos, and he had entered an extremely dangerous situation. If he could not regain his mind, he would go crazy.

As a result, spiritual energy will flow backwards, the acupoints will rupture, and the meridians will be seriously injured. These are the lightest consequences. It is even possible that the golden elixir will be damaged, and the cultivation level will be greatly wasted!
Jiang Qingfeng was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly, for fear that saying a wrong word would immediately disrupt the already fragile balance and cause irreversible consequences.

But suddenly Wang Yu flipped his palm, and with a snap, the teacup on the table was smashed to pieces.

The crisp sound made Lu Qian look up in bewilderment, and he heard Wang Yu shouting, "How to decide? Only with a clear conscience!"

A clear conscience?!
Lu Qian was shocked and his eyes widened.

Yes, for all decisions, you just need to have a clear conscience. And the key to everything lies in the word "heart".

I have a clear conscience, so what is my true heart?

At the moment of life and death, the consciousness started to operate spontaneously, the mighty spiritual consciousness surged, and all the memories of this world flashed by like the tide, yet were extremely clear.

Regained new life and vowed to revive the sect.

The first plan was to break through other people’s mountain gate.

Faced with the three choices offered by Akabane Zenshiro, he realized his true nature and made a great aspiration.

He re-established the Yunshan School in Chongming County, and in front of the founder, hesitantly wrote a new chapter.

In the following forty-three years, he had seen small families suddenly collapse, and he had also seen the grand appearance of the master of Yuheng Continent, Taiyi Paradise. In front of him, there were small factions that were small in size but united and worked hard, and there were also large factions that controlled a state but were internally strife-ridden and lacked ambition.

Battle after battle, many lives lost, beloved teachers, close fellow students, lively disciples, and difficult enemies.
The vivid faces, some of the enemies and some of the fellow disciples, have made the Yunshan Sect so prosperous today.

When I achieved the Golden Elixir, looking at the disciples kneeling down and congratulating me respectfully, my heart was overwhelmed and I was moved.

"Unite as one, gather the strength of the people, build a big ship, hoist the sails high, build a strong ship with powerful guns, ride the wind and waves, and cross the vast ocean!"

"You may turn the oars, hoist the sails, draw the bows, or man the cannons, but I will steer the ship for you!"

“Life and death, honor and disgrace, fortune and disaster, rise and fall, the long road to immortality, the endless journey, I will share it with you all!”

"If you don't let me down, I will never let you down!"

That scene and those words appeared before him again. Lu Qian was excited and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

That’s right, at that time, I had already glimpsed the path I should take.

My wish is to lead the Yunshan Sect to the top of the world, to look down on the world, to let all the people I love and those who love me be free from any constraints from now on, and to be free and invincible!

My true intention is——

If something is beneficial to me, I will help it and then give back.

Anyone who harms me should be disparaged or attacked immediately.

Practice benevolent governance at home, make good friends abroad, pool the strength and wisdom of the people, share honor and disgrace, share benefits, repay evil with justice, and repay kindness with kindness.

This is the kingly way of the united nations!

At this moment, the spiritual power calmed down, the spiritual pressure was restrained, the heart lake was calm, clear and transparent, the golden elixir shone brightly, and it complemented the golden branches, which was beautiful beyond words.

Boundless joy surged into his heart, and an incomparable sense of freedom filled his heart. Lu Qian was so overjoyed that he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I understand!"

I found my true heart, identified my true nature, and found my true self!
Lu Qian should do this, and so should I!

In just a few short breaths, Lu Qian had broken through his mental barriers and found his true heart and nature.

He is no longer confused!

The dark clouds dispersed, Lu Qian's divine light was restored, and Wang Yu and Jiang Qingfeng felt relaxed. Seeing his ecstatic look, they knew that there would be a breakthrough.

Jiang Qingfeng's mood went through great ups and downs. He was extremely anxious just now, but now he was extremely happy. He felt a dull pain in his heart.

Wang Yu asked, "Master, have you figured it out? Then how do you plan to deal with the Huanggen Sect?"

Lu Qian smiled and nodded. In fact, he had said this to Shen Jialuo at that time, but he didn't think about it as clearly as he does now.

"We should support Shen Jialuo to temporarily lead the Huanggen Sect. In this way, Yunshan will be able to gain greater support from the Huanggen Sect."

"At the same time, I will give back what I have gained. I will return more benefits to Huang Genmen, allowing it to continue to grow and flourish."

"I will also carefully look for the life-saving items that Ye Xiao needs. If I can obtain the elixir in advance to rescue her, she will naturally be the head of the Huanggen Sect."

"In this way, I will be worthy of Yunshan and Huanggen Sect."

Wang Yu pondered Lu Qian's decision. Senior Sister Qingfeng couldn't help but say, "This is indeed worthy of Huang Gen Sect, but it is unfair to Cheng Sheng."

Lu Qian said seriously: "Mr. Yu, our Yunshan Sect's ally is the Huang Gen Sect, not Cheng Sheng himself."

"Cheng Sheng only represents his personal interests. Personal interests must be subordinate to collective interests."

"Although he cannot become the acting head, Huanggen Sect can develop better and faster under the leadership of Shen Jialuo and with the support of our Yunshan Sect. So what's the importance of his personal opinion?"

"As long as I repay Huang Genmen's support, I will have fulfilled my duty as an ally."

"Personally, Shen Jialuo is half of my Yunshan disciple, but Cheng Sheng has nothing to do with us. How can you have a clear conscience when you don't help your own family but care about an outsider?"

Lu Qian's eyes were firm and his tone was powerful; this was the answer he got by following his heart, so naturally he was unwavering.

Wang Yu nodded. It seemed that the headmaster had really passed the "searching heart" stage and his cultivation of Xinggong had made great strides forward. In comparison, after this decision was made, it didn't matter who was happy or upset in Huanggen Sect. It was extremely important for Jindan Zhenren to judge his true heart. If he didn't understand what his true heart was, then he naturally couldn't let nature take its course and act according to his heart.

Without the guidance of one's true heart, all kinds of seemingly right but actually wrong actions will only make the inner demons more rampant.

From this perspective, if a Jindan cultivator has been unable to identify his true mind, the method of "concentration" might be more suitable.

After all, no matter what the state of mind is, the goal of the "Concentration School" is to calm the mind, cultivate the nature with simplicity, suppress evil thoughts, and make the heart as calm as a still well in order to tame the violent heart.

In other words, the method of "conclusion" looks difficult, but it is actually easy to get started. The difficulty lies in maintaining the state of mind in the middle and late stages, as it is easy to lose your skills and defenses due to trivial things that accumulate over time.

The "natural" method seems simple, but it is actually the most difficult to get started. The "seeking the heart" barrier alone has blocked countless golden elixirs. After pondering over and over again, it is often difficult to find the true meaning, and you will end up hurting others and yourself. But once you really identify your true heart and overcome the mental barrier, your future cultivation of sexual energy will advance by leaps and bounds.

Lu Qian never expected that he would have such an unexpected gain today!

Now that he has passed the stage of "finding his heart", all he needs to do from now on is to be consistent and the road ahead will be smooth.

At the same time, after this experience, Lu Qian deeply understood why many sect leaders would resign from their positions as leaders after achieving the Golden Elixir and choose to become the supreme elders behind the scenes.

I used to think of two reasons. One was to free myself from the busy affairs and focus on cultivation, so as to achieve a higher realm as soon as possible. The other was that after achieving the golden elixir, the cultivators were at a completely different level, and the gap between them and ordinary disciples deepened, and there was also a transcendent change in their mentality.

Now I understand that there is another important reason. That is, after cultivating the golden elixir, whether the cultivator chooses "restraint" or "nature", he needs to practice the spirit skill. However, the decision-making of the sect is often based on interests and the overall situation, which can easily conflict with one's original heart and nature.

Resign as the head and let the head handle most of the interest decisions. You only help at critical moments, or simply don't help. This way, the conflict can be limited to a controllable range as much as possible.

But for Lu Qian, now that he has found his true heart, identified his true nature, found his true self, and found his own path, there is no need for him to resign as the head.

"I will send a message right now to tell everyone in Huanggen Sect not to worry. I will naturally strive for the greatest benefit for Huanggen Sect. Cheng Sheng does not have to travel so far to attend the meeting. I will bring Shen Jialuo with me, and the final result of the meeting will be brought back by Shen Jialuo and conveyed to them clearly."

Wang Yu thought for a moment and said, "There is another party that needs to be informed in advance."

Lu Qian naturally understood: "Is it the Mingyu Sword Sect? Since it is a three-sect alliance, Cheng Sheng has a letter for us, and naturally he also has a letter for the Mingyu Sword Sect, and he also wants to get the support of Master Cangfeng."

"It's just that we rescued Huanggen Sect, and we also control Hanjiangzhu in Junle County. We also rescued Ye Xiao. In the competition for the acting leader of Huanggen Sect, our say is naturally much greater than that of Mingyu Sword Sect."

"Of course, we interfered in the internal affairs of Huanggen Sect, and Mingyu Sword Sect will definitely be suspicious. In order to avoid any conflict with Master Cangfeng, I will also write a letter to him. I will find an opportunity to explain the specific situation to him at the meeting tomorrow, and then give up some interests."

The three chatted for a few more words, decided on the time to depart tomorrow, and then Wang Yu said goodbye and left.

Jiang Qingfeng did not completely agree with Lu Qian's decision, but since it was Lu Qian's true intention, there was no need to say more.

Seeing Senior Sister's expression, Lu Qian had already guessed what was going on. He immediately held her hands, pulled her into his arms, and said with a smile, "That was my true intention, not Senior Sister's. Why should Senior Sister worry about it?"

"Just wait until Senior Sister reaches the Golden Core stage, and then make your own decision."

Jiang Qingfeng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Then what do you think my true intention is?"

Now that his true feelings were clear, Lu Qian felt that the world was vast and everything was lovely, especially his senior sister. He couldn't help but be naughty and whispered in her ear.

"I think Senior Sister's original intention is to be my wife and give birth to a child for me."

Jiang Qingfeng's pretty face flushed, and she hit Lu Qian hard. Lu Qian took advantage of the situation to hold her waist tightly, and was about to kiss her, but the senior sister pressed her lips with her finger.

"I think someone is so lustful and shameless." Senior Sister Qingfeng's voice turned cold, and frost flowers fell in the air. "You want to support Jialuo to take the throne. Are you attracted by her beauty? Tell the truth."

Lu Qian laughed: "It's possible that she is attracted by my beauty. But I only have my senior sister in my heart, I won't care about anyone else, our love is stronger than gold, I can't fake it."

Jiang Qingfeng was both angry and amused, and pushed Lu Qian out with all his strength: "How shameless. Your Fairy Nichang is still in a coma. If you have the guts, go tell her about it while she's here."

Lu Qian coughed a few times, his arrogance completely gone, and he said cautiously: "Then it's you and Nishang. The others will hardly have a place in my heart."

"Asshole." Senior Sister Qingfeng snorted coldly, turned her head and walked away.

How could Lu Qian let her go? Amidst the exclamations of his senior sister, he picked her up by the waist and went towards the inner room.

"You're a bastard, but I won't let you go anyway."

"Let me go, please let me go, the Silence Circle is not yet..."

The next morning, Lu Qian was in high spirits and full of energy, and his sister was tormented by him. After a night of debauchery, Tian Yuanzi felt refreshed and got out of bed leisurely, but Jiang Qingfeng looked tired, and there was a hint of lust in his eyes that could not be concealed.

Seeing this, Lu Qian had no choice but to coax her with a lot of words, asking her to stay in Mianlong Mountain to rest, while he and Brother Wang led a team to Meihuafang to attend the meeting.

"Master Lu." Shen Jialuo was already waiting in front of the mountain gate. She was wearing a light blue palace dress and a little makeup, which was very different from her usual cold and plain appearance.

Standing with her were Lin Le and Li Da, who performed outstandingly in the staff team.

Lu Qian had just said hello to everyone when Yu Jiao, who had already returned to Mianlong Mountain, jumped out of the pool, looking sick.

"Greetings, lord. Xiao Jiao had a fierce battle with Master Yao Ming in Dongping County and was seriously injured. He can't come with you, cough cough cough."

While Yu Jiao was coughing up non-existent blood, he glanced at Lu Qian.

Lu Qian knew what he was thinking and tapped him on the head: "Well, have you ever met Master Yaoming? You just pretend. This time you should just rest at home and bring my four dragon horses here."

Yu Jiao cheered and ran away, pulling out the four dragon horses in a blink of an eye.

When everyone saw it, they were stunned.

Is this still Longju?

In just a month, the four dragon horses that were originally majestic and strong had become round and plump with bulging bellies. They looked at Lu Qian innocently and made labored panting sounds.

Lu Qian's eyebrows twitched, and he gritted his teeth and cursed: "I told you to raise horses, not pigs!"

Yu Jiao looked at the four dragon pigs and felt like crying. He had been concentrating on recuperating and sleeping for a while, but he didn't know that after threatening the dragon foals to eat more last time, the dragon foals were trembling with fear and followed his instructions to eat day and night, and they were forced to eat from horses to pigs.

"Okay." Lu Qian said coldly, "Since you don't have a horse, you can pull the cart yourself."

“Nooooooooooooooooooooo——”

More than half an hour later, outside the bustling Meihuafang Market, a beam of rosy light flew in and the sound of a dragon's roar echoed throughout the area.

Hundreds of monks crowded here looked up hurriedly and saw a huge dragon with a brilliant body pulling a glittering and colorful cloud chariot descending in front of the gate tower. They all gasped.

The Golden Core Dragon drove the car, and the Flowing Cloud Chariot was used for transportation. Who was this person?

"The head of Yunshan Sect, Tian Yuanzi, has come here on the orders of Lord Miao Miao Xuan." Yu Jiao shouted, "Which cultivator is on duty? Please pass the message quickly!"
