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

'That was a close call...Seventh Senior Brother was right!'

Seeing this, one of his men cried out, "Are you alright, Chief?"

"I-I...I'm fine. Don't panic and calm down, all of you!"

3Meanwhile...

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

He shook his head helplessly. It seemed that the cultivation techniques and experiences of his disciples in his mind were not of much use to him.

Lu Zhou speculated that it was probably due to physical reasons. The present cultivation world was facing a problem that was very difficult to solve. As a cultivator aged, his meridians grew old, and the vitality of his dantian and Sea of Qi reduced, causing his strength to drop. It was the same problem Ji Tiandao was facing.

And it was the most likely problem.

It was because Ji Tiandao was getting old and his strength was declining that he gradually became less and less intimidating to his disciples, which eventually led to their betrayal.

"Oh well, it feels really awkward for a young man in his twenties like me to pretend to be as old and steady as a rock."

But, he had to do it. It would be really strange if he jumped around like a child in his current appearance.

"It seems that I need to accumulate more life force," Lu Zhou speculated that it was because of longevity that he was facing his present situation. "Let's see how many merit points I still have."

Lu Zhou called up the system panel.

Name: Lu Zhou

Race: Human

Cultivation base: The Eye Aperture stage of the Mystic Enlightening realm

Merit points: 1,004

Remaining life: 1,209 days

Items: Ji Tiandao Peak Form Card x 2, Critical Block Card (passive) x 5, Whitzard

2...

He still had one thousand merit points, but they were too few. According to the speed at which he accumulated merit points, it would be quite difficult if he wished to return to his youth.

He thought of the incident of Old Fourth killing those mounted brigands and the worshipping of many people, which had given him quite many reward points. These tasks all had very lucrative merit points as rewards.

"Yuan'er!"

"Yes, Master?"

"From today on, if anything major happens in the outside world, report it to me immediately," Lu Zhou said faintly.

That puzzled Little Yuan'er. 'Master has always been indifferent to the world. Why the sudden interest in worldly affairs?'

"Master, I stay on Golden Court Mountain all day long and cannot know what is going on in the world. This is something that Seventh Senior Brother is good at. His intelligence network covers the whole world and already has information nodes in many places."
