It was precisely because of this experience that he knew how much effort and time it took to train good soldiers who could fight in formations without breaking in the face of the enemy.

It was impossible without a great deal of hard work and investment in silver

Now that Li Liang had achieved such results in just two months, he could already be considered a skilled trainer of soldiers.

Lu Yuan was so impressed with his disciple that he had no time to blame him.

“All of this is due to the high-quality soldiers recruited by my Master and the help of many fellow disciples in the camp. I dare not take credit for it.” In the face of his Master’s praise, Li Liang was happy in his heart but showed modesty on his face.

“Don’t be so humble. Your contribution is yours. Can I, as your Teacher, mistreat my own disciples?”

Lu Yuan praised his disciple and then said, “You have done well in training soldiers. You should be rewarded. I have a martial art skill here. You can copy it and learn from it. Afterward, return the original to me, and that will be your reward.”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan took out the Chi Yang Divine Skill that he had prepared in advance and handed it to his disciple.

The Chi Yang Divine Skill he took out only had the first seven levels, the last two levels had been removed, and only one sword technique was included.

Even so, this abridged version of Chi Yang Divine Skill could cultivate the second bizarre meridian, and combined with the sword technique, it already belonged to the top-ranked martial arts in Jianghu.

“Thank you, Master, for bestowing the skill.”

Li Liang looked at the martial arts passed to him, and when he saw the four big characters of Chi Yang Divine Skill on it, his body trembled.

As one of the closer registered disciples to Lu Yuan and Zhou Qing, he naturally knew that his Master and Senior Brother mainly practiced this Chi Yang Divine Skill.

‘When the Master bestows this skill upon me, is he planning to take me as a true disciple?’

Li Liang’s excitement at this thought almost couldn’t be hidden.

Heaven knows how awkward and difficult it was for these registered disciples when facing Lu Yuan and Zhou Qing.

Just look at the treatment of the official disciple Zhou Qing?

Then look at what treatment they receive?

Although they were nominally disciples, they were in fact no different from subordinates and were not considered part of their own.

It was needless to say how much Lu Yuan’s dozens of registered disciples

envied Zhou Qing and how much they wanted to become true disciples.

Was their dream coming true now?

Li Liang, with trembling hands, took the Chi Yang Divine Skill and said with a trembling voice, “Master, rest assured, as soon as I return, I will copy the secret book, and I will return the Divine Skill tomorrow.”

“There’s no need to rush. Just copy it slowly, and don’t let the technique spread.”

As a master, Lu Yuan naturally knew about his disciples’ thoughts, and now he smiled and said, “When you finish copying the technique, remember to practice diligently. If you can break through to the top level, I will take you into my door and make you a true disciple.”

After getting the Taiping Dao Book, Lu Yuan knew that his idea of sneakily growing stronger was largely impossible.

But even so, it didn’t mean that he had to fight hard.

It was much better to cultivate more disciples, let them become talented and make a name for themselves, and then let them fight for the world on behalf of their teacher?

As for the Chi Yang Divine Skill, it was no longer the most core martial arts secret for Lu Yuan, who was about to break through Innate and cultivate immortal methods.

Now, like the Cloud Palm and Replenishing Qi Heart Sutra before, it could be used to reward the disciples and enhance their strength.

At this time, having only Zhou Qing as a first-class disciple was not enough.

If a few more first-class disciples are trained to have independent strength, Lu Yuan may not even need to worry about the affairs of conquest.

He could simply let these disciples fight on his behalf and let them lead the troops to fight on their own.

Therefore, Lu Yuan imitated the court’s plan of ten Grandmasters and also planned to cultivate ten great disciples.

Cultivate ten first-class disciples and 100,000 soldiers. With each disciple leading ten thousand troops, they could match an Inborn Grandmaster. With such a foundation, conquering a prefecture was no longer a dream for Lu

Yuan.

After all, Ten top-class experts with a hundred thousand troops were worth two or three Inborn Grandmasters.

And with Lu Yuan’s strength included, as long as he didn’t rebel openly, even if he dominated Dongting Prefecture, the court would have to hold their noses and accept it.

‘And I can expand while I contact other Grandmasters whom the court attracts, forming alliances. By then, several parties will join forces and protect their territories, and even if the court is dissatisfied, they will have to swallow the bad feelings.’

Allying and manipulating with several other Grandmasters from Jianghu was a solution that Lu Yuan came up with during these days.

Compared with those six surnames and seven families from the court, Lu Yuan and those Jianghu Grandmasters were clearly not the same kind of people.

Even if they temporarily united, it was just for interest, and there was no real friendship involved.

And since it was for interest, the interests given by the court were interests as were the interests they wanted to fight for.

Why should the land of nine prefectures in Da Yue be divided among only two prefectures for people like Lu Yuan?

Four out of the ten Grandmasters in the plan were from Jianghu, accounting for 40% of the power. Yet they could only get the territory of two prefectures, both of which were badly broken.

The allocation plan was obviously unreasonable.

Regions like Yuzhang Prefecture and Linhai County were so prosperous that they could virtually be worth three poor counties alone..
