Satke Tackling
Chapter 17: 17

As soon as Mingshi Yin left Tiger Ridge, Zhu Honggong shivered and wiped the cold sweat off his face while his legs trembled uncontrollably.

 ‘That's a close call .. Seventh Senior Sister is right!’

 Seeing this, one of his men shouted, “Are you okay, Chairman?”

 “A-i. Don't panic and calm down, all of you! ”

 3While…

 Lu Zhou sat cross-legged in the gazebo. After trying to cultivate for half a day, he discovered that the cultivation techniques of his students were useless to him. They can't produce energy at all. His meridians were too old, his dantian as well as his Qi Sea lacked vitality, making it extremely difficult to gather energy.

 He shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the cultivation techniques and experiences of his students in his mind were of little use to him.

 Lu Zhou speculated that it might be for physical reasons. The cultivation world is currently facing an extremely difficult problem to solve. As a cultivator aged, his meridians grew old, and the vitality of his Dantian and Sea Qi diminished, causing his strength to drop. It was the same problem that Ji Tiandao faced.

 And that's the most likely problem.

 As Ji Tiandao grew older and his strength decreased, he gradually became less and less intimidating to his students, which eventually led to their betrayal.

 “Oh well, it feels so awkward for a young man in his twenties like me to pretend to be as old and as firm as a rock. ”

 But, he has to do it. It would be very strange if he were to jump around like a child in his current appearance.

 “Looks like I need to gather more life force,” Lu Zhou speculated that due to the longevity he was facing his current situation. “Let's see how many merit points I still have. ”

 Lu Zhou called the system panel.

 Name: Lu Zhou

 Race: Human

 Cultivation base: Eye Opening Stage in the Mystical Enlightenment realm

 Performance points: 1,004

 Residual life: 1,209 days

 Item: Ji Tiandao Peak Shape Card x 2, Critical Block Card (passive) x 5, Whitzard

 2…

 He still had a thousand merit points, but it was too little. According to the speed at which he accumulated merit points, it would be extremely difficult if he wanted to return to his youth.

 He thought of the Old Fourth incident that killed those riding robbers and the adoration of many, which had given him quite a number of reward points. All of these tasks have very favorable achievement points as rewards.

 “Yuan’er!”

 “Ya sir?”

 “Starting today, if something big happens in the outside world, immediately report to me,” Lu Zhou said weakly.

 It confused Yuan’er Small. ‘Teachers always don't care about the world. Why suddenly interested in worldly affairs? ‘

 “Teacher, I stayed at Golden Court Mountain all day and had no idea what was going on in the world. This was something that Seventh Senior Brother could do. Its intelligence network spans the globe and already has information nodes in many places. ”

 That's trouble.

 Lu Zhou said, “There is a station in Tangzi, the closest city to Golden Court Mountain. Cultivators often stopped there to rest and share information while others would pay them to get information. You can go out there and find out what is happening in the world. ”

 Yuan’er small beamed when he heard that he could leave the Gold Court Mountain. He cupped his fists excitedly and said, “Really, Teacher?”

 “Why are you so happy? Does staying in the mountains upset you? ” Lu Zhou glared at him.

 “No no! I just feel a little bored because I haven't been out of the house in a long time. ”

 “Then go now.. Remember, you are not allowed to reveal who you are or kill people at will. ”

 “What if someone bothers me?” Little Yuan’er said in a low voice.

 Lu Zhou hit his head with one hand and said, “Just go and do as I ask. Don't give me so many reasons. ”

 “Aduh!”

 “Go now!” How could Little Yuan’er be bullied by others?

Yes sir!”

 Gazebo fell silent as he thought about what he should do next. Although the Gold Court Mountain was home to criminals, it did not rule out the possibility that there would be other assassins like Zhou Jifeng.

 Just then, his third disciple, Duanmu Sheng, came to the bottom of the stairs leading to the gazebo, where he bowed and said, “Teacher, I have fixed three arrays. There are five more to fix.. ”.

 “Five more ..” murmured Lu Zhou.

 Originally, he wanted the three of them to refine the array together. However, with the two of them coming out now to complete the task that had been assigned to them, it became extremely difficult for Duanmu Sheng to fix it himself.

 After all, it took a lot of energy to refine the array. Regardless of Duanmu Sheng's profound cultivation base, he himself was unable to withstand the constant absorption of the eight arrays.

 “Teacher, if it continues this way, I am afraid I cannot complete the task of repairing all arrays by myself.” Duanmu Sheng said honestly. At the same time, he looked up slightly to steal a glance at his master's expression.

 Lu Zhou said in a deep voice, “Are you not sure that I made you correct the arrangement as punishment?”

 “No, this disciple does not dare!”

 “If you can't fix it in one year, take two years or even three years to fix it! I'm not going to forgive you easily if you raise any more objections. ”

 “Understand, Teacher! I am too lazy, please forgive me! I will continue to refine the array now. ”

 When Lu Zhou faced the top ten experts, they stood to the side and watched without helping him. Now, he was just punishing them by asking them to refine the array, yet they came to him and complained!

 He knew very well that he could not become weak at such a critical moment. Disciplining a disciple was basically the same as arranging subordinates in his previous life.

 After Duanmu Sheng left, Lu Zhou called the system panel once more.

 “Undian . ”

 “Ding! This draw requires 50 merit points. Thank you for trying, you have received 1 lucky point. ”

 “Undian . ”

 “Ding! This draw requires 50 merit points. Thank you for trying, you have received 1 lucky point. ”

 1 “…”

 He tried ten times in a row, and he got the answer ‘thank you for trying the same’ every time. As a result, his reward points dropped by 500, and he also collected 18 lucky points.

 1While frowning, he said, “System, can you have a little conscience? Don't you feel guilty about cheating my achievement points? “

 2The system does not answer.

 Looking at the remaining 500 merit points, he gave up trying his luck and opened a shopping mall.

 “I want to buy reversal card!”

 “Ding! 500 Points of performance deductible. You have received 1 reversal card. ”

 Now, he had exhausted all the merit points, with only 4 points remaining.

 “Use!”

 After using a few reversal cards earlier, Lu Zhou became somewhat calm and focused on the remaining areas of life on the panel. Sure enough, it increased to 1,509 days.

 “If you spend all your money, you won't think about it anymore! So, the only thing left for me to do now is lie down and wait for death? ” Lu Zhou suddenly felt bored.

 It was hard to find anything related to this old body. In previous lives, parents could still go to the park to play chess, play cards, or take a walk.

 “Ding! A side quest to incite Zhou Jifeng's defection was completed. You are awarded 200 points of achievement. ”

 “Ding! Zhou Jifeng's hostility rate became zero, and his loyalty was 10%. ”

 “Ding! Two elders were killed. You are awarded 200 points of achievement. ”

 3Lu Zhou's eyes sparkled.

 “Zhao Yue has done a good job!”

 Just as he was feeling pleased with the gift, a figure floated up from the foot of the mountain.

 Lu Zhou glanced at the figure. It was Mingshi Yin.

 “Teacher, this disciple has completed the task and is now reporting back to you.
