Chapter 53 Don't blame me for not having the strength to concentrate

"Your Majesty, how about I write a letter to my father and ask him to teach these arrogant mountain barbarians a lesson, so that they know how powerful our Daning Dynasty is."

Rong Xiyao's pretty face was frosty, and she spoke fiercely, obviously not joking.

Seeing this, Lu Changjing hurriedly stopped him: "My beloved concubine, you can't do that. You know the current situation of the royal secret treasury and the national treasury. We can't afford to fight a war. Let's forget about it. I won't agree to it anyway."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. You don't have to raise military funds. Leave this matter to my father." Rong Xiyao said with a smile.

"Uh..." Lu Changjing was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head and said, "It's not necessary. Our relationship with the Mountain Barbarians has not reached this level yet."

"Besides, the Blood Barbarians are teaching the Mountain Barbarians a lesson, so why should we interfere? These Mountain Barbarian envoys are just asking for too much, so just ignore them."

As he spoke, Lu Changjing stood up and embraced Rong Xiyao: "When I step into the realm of gods and demons, I will definitely crush the entire mountain barbarian tribe. Then I will let my beloved concubine deal with it."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the day when Your Majesty defeats the mountain barbarians." Rong Xiyao's pretty face turned red, and she felt that the place where Lu Changjing was holding her was so hot that she could hardly stand.

Lu Changjing also discovered that this imperial concubine, who had always been arrogant, had never experienced the world.

As long as you get closer to them at the critical moment, you can make them feel at a loss and no longer able to stick to their original decision.

After comforting Rong Xiyao, Lu Changjing sent away the dizzy imperial concubine. As for the matter of writing a letter to the King of the Southwest to attack the mountain barbarians, it naturally came to nothing.

Lu Changjing didn't want to cause any trouble now. The marriage issue was already a headache. If there was another incident of the King of the Southwest attacking the mountain barbarians, how could he practice with peace of mind in the future?

It would be even worse if Cao Wen Zheng put the blame on him for this incident.

After dealing with all these messy things, Lu Changjing continued to practice with peace of mind, as if the marriage had never happened.

Anyway, he can't make any decision now. Cao Wen is taking care of all these things, so why worry about it?

Even if he wanted to worry about it, Cao Wen Zheng would not allow it. Why waste time and energy?

I will continue to practice, improve, and hone my combat skills... and occasionally spend some time with Tan Baobao and Xin Meime, enjoying the taste of imported delicacies.

Considering the urgent need for the Soul-Picking Hook to help him solve the hidden danger of Cao Wenzhen, Lu Changjing spent more time practicing the Soul-Picking Technique and improving his spiritual power.

Moreover, during this period of time, the cultivation levels of Qi and body training have improved too quickly, and it takes enough time to adapt.

Therefore, Lu Changjing spent most of his time every day on the Imperial Dragon Soul Sutra and the Soul-Picking Technique.

In this case, it would be impossible for either of them to improve slowly even if they wanted to.

In just a few days, Lu Changjing broke through to the second-level master level in spiritual cultivation. With the fluctuations of his spiritual power, he could clearly detect all movements within a dozen meters around him.

Although this kind of spiritual power is still unable to detect outside the imperial study, it is not far away.

The Immortal Demon Body has the ability to hide its form and disappear. Even if his spiritual power can detect the Grand Master, the other party will not be able to find anything. This is also the power of the Immortal Demon Body.

The speed at which his spiritual power increased was astonishing, and so was his consumption. Of the ten high-level spiritual pills, only seven remained, and three had already been consumed. Each of these high-level spiritual pills that could increase spiritual power was worth at least several hundred low-grade spiritual stones. In other words, in just half a month or so, Lu Changjing had consumed more than a thousand low-grade spiritual stones just in terms of spiritual cultivation.

No wonder Ning Zhongyu was able to empty the royal secret vault and the national treasury. While maintaining his high-speed practice, he also had to take into account the solidity of his foundation, and the resources and treasures he needed to consume far exceeded Lu Changjing.

In addition, it is necessary to reward subordinates from time to time, or purchase some treasures to protect the spiritual veins, dantian, spiritual sea... to avoid being hurt by the Huangji Divine Art system.

So even though Ning Zhongyu's cultivation progress is far inferior to Lu Changjing's, the resources and treasures he needs to consume are at least several times or even dozens of times more than Lu Changjing's.

It is unknown how much resources and treasures Lu Changjing saved thanks to the Immortal Demonic Body. Even so, the amount of resources and treasures consumed made Lu Changjing feel extremely distressed.

The resources and treasures that were obtained with great difficulty by living off others have now been consumed by nearly half. At this rate, they will be used up in a few months.

In particular, the resources and treasures needed to improve the spiritual and physical cultivation levels are relatively rare, but the rate at which they are consumed is no less than the resources and treasures needed to improve the Qi cultivation levels.

In this case, when one is promoted to the fourth-order grandmaster level, the resources and treasures for body and mind refining will be almost consumed.

He sighed and decided to practice with all his strength even if it consumed a lot of energy.

When his energy, spirit and spirit all reach the fourth-order grandmaster level, and his various combat skills are improved, his overall strength should not be much worse than that of a high-level grandmaster.

Especially in terms of spiritual and physical cultivation, he can completely crush Cao Wenzhen.

If caught off guard, there is a high possibility that they will be seriously injured or even killed.

At that time, even if you encounter the most urgent situation, you will be able to escape, and when you have enough strength, you can come back and take away everything that belongs to you.

Because of the matter of the mountain barbarian envoys, Cao Wenzhen did not have to attend the morning court during this period. He spent more time dealing with this matter, as well as the matters concerning the Jinyiwei and the demons and monsters.

This gave Lu Changjing ample time to practice and improve himself, and occasionally talk with Tan Qingyun and Lin Yixin about life and ideals.

During this period, Imperial Noble Consort Rong Xiyao, Noble Consort Tang Qingyi, Consort Yi Zhou Ruolan... also came a few times, and they became more familiar with each other, especially when it came to Rong Xiyao, they would touch her from time to time.

As for Tang Qingyi and Zhou Ruolan, they are not that close yet, but in Lu Changjing's opinion, it is only a matter of time.

Lu Changjing was not worried that Rong Xiyao would tell this matter to others. Lu Changjing knew something about the imperial concubine's tone.

Besides, he even secretly took Rong Xiyao's Blue Sky Divine Ring, let alone such lovey-dovey things.

It’s just that the concubines are too charming and it’s really hard to control oneself.

Lu Changjing is not a gentleman. On the contrary, he was quite yearning for this kind of thing in his previous life. Now that he has the opportunity, he always feels a little restless.

Especially when pure yang energy flows in the body, it can certainly temper the body, but it also has significant side effects.

Not long after his physical fitness reached more than three hundred times that of an ordinary person, Lu Changjing's spiritual cultivation encountered a bottleneck again.
