I Hide And Farm In The World Of Cultivation To Increase My Proficiency

Chapter 148: The Battle for the Throne and the Heavenly Dao Core Formation

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Sometimes, one had to admit that some people were begging the heavens for food, while others were forced to eat by the heavens.

Without a doubt, Shan Yao was the latter.

With the luck talent for a natural foodie, Shan Yao did not need to be serious to maintain an astonishing rate of improvement.

With enough resources, she could even be fed into a ‘big fatty’ in a very short amount of time.

In the past two years, Lu Yuan had spent most of his time teaching the child body forging, along with some literary knowledge.

As for the cultivation technique, Lu Yuan had taught her the Golden Light Secret Scripture, which he had spent a large sum of money on to purchase from the Eastern Money-making Ghost.

However, Lu Yuan had signed a one-sided purchase agreement with the Eastern Money-making Ghost, which meant that he was unable to casually teach this cultivation technique to others in the beginning.

Therefore, Lu Yuan had no choice but to spend more money to modify the contents of the agreement between him and the Eastern Money-making Ghost.

Although it seemed like Lu Yuan was selflessly contributing, in fact, he had obtained many benefits from Shan Yao.

Because it was obvious that Shan Yao’s original novice village masters were only Ge Xiu, Tang Hongzhi, and Lian Caijun.

But now, not only had Lu Yuan become the fourth master of Shan Yao, but he was also the first master who had the greatest influence on her.

Ge Xiu and the others were undecided about whether or not they wanted Shan Yao to become a cultivator, as they knew well the dangers involved in this path.

Therefore, even though they could tell that Shan Yao had extraordinary talent, they remained hesitant and decided to observe her further.

Originally, if Lu Yuan hadn’t appeared, Shan Yao would have been captured by the Black Snake King.

But because of this, Ge Xiu and the others realized the importance of having some cultivation to survive in this world.

Therefore, they ultimately decided to guide Shan Yao on the path of celestial cultivation.

However, when Lu Yuan appeared, he became Shan Yao’s new guide in the cultivation world, replacing Ge Xiu and the others.

As a result, Lu Yuan also gained a significant amount of luck value.

[Current luck value: 22,000]

Lu Yuan obtained a total of 10,000 luck value by changing the fate of Shan Yao.

Among this, Lu Yuan continuously refined pills and used them to strengthen Shan Yao’s body, which helped him accumulate luck value over time.

Although there was not much luck value, it was still very considerable when accumulated.

Originally, Lu Yuan’s luck value should have been even higher, but he had also been actively cultivating in the past two years.

[Yang Spiritual Root (Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens)]

[Cultivation Technique: Golden Light Secret Scripture, Foundation Establishment chapter]

[Effect: It allowed spiritual energy to fuse with the body and cultivate the Golden Light Body. During the day, he could obtain a significant increase in power and Endless Vitality.]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage Level 7]

[Physical Body: Innate Sixth Heaven]

In two years, Lu Yuan made significant progress in both his physical body and cultivation by relying on the Blood Qi Pills, and Soul Pills he had accumulated before.

Currently, the only condition that prevented him from forming his Core Formation stage was to form an acquired thunder spiritual root.

However, this condition was not difficult for Lu Yuan to meet. He had almost completed condensing his thunder spiritual root.

After that, he just needed to find a place to complete the Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens once again.

Once he accomplished this, he would reach the level of the Nine-spiritual Root Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens.

However, after reaching the Nine-spiritual Root Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens, Lu Yuan would face the challenge of refining the golden core creation pill.

If he wanted to refine the golden core creation pill, Lu Yuan needed to leave the mountain and search for the required medicinal herbs.

This process was not only unpredictable but also entailed significant risks.

Despite this, Lu Yuan did not want to leave the mountain himself.

The Yue Dynasty was in chaos due to the influence of cultivators from the outside world.

While the Yue Dynasty was a unified Empire, the current Emperor was already in his final years.

However, the succession to the throne was not based on inheritance but on competition among several princes.

It was when several princes competed with each other and finally decided who would ascend to the throne.

The reason why there was such a system was probably because of the Upper Realm cultivators.

They wanted to create conflicts and make the Yue Dynasty chaotic.

This would provide the cultivators from the outside world with a condition to compete with each other.

After a period of exploration, these cultivators would usually choose to join one of the prince’s camps, not out of a desire for secular power, but because the entrance to the path of immortal ascension was located on the Yue Dynasty’s Dragon Vein.

However, the entrance would only open after the Empire had stabilized.

At this point, the cultivators would be able to enter and participate in the test.

Lu Yuan, who was aware of this situation, detected the distinct scent of a manipulative plan.

This was no different from some online game companies in his previous life who deliberately opened a side account to provoke the other party in order to force the people in the game to top up money.

However, whether it was the struggle for the throne or the test of immortal ascension, Lu Yuan had no interest in any of these.

The only thing that interested him was the immortal herbs and medicines that grew in the deep mountains and forests.

In the past two years, Lu Yuan had discovered an immortal herb in the forest near the Niu Family Village that could be used to refine the golden core creation pill.

Now, only two more plants were needed to complete the recipe.

If all went smoothly, Lu Yuan estimated that he would be able to attempt Perfect Core Formation through the way of the heavens in the next five to ten years.

At this time, more than half of the Tidal Moon had passed, and more Core Formation Stage cultivators would arrive at the Full Moon Mountain Range.

However, at that time, with his Perfect Golden Core Formation through the way of the heavens with Nine-spiritual Root, he could easily defeat ordinary Core Formation Stage ninth transformation cultivator, unless they were Core Formation cultivators who had fused with multiple Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens spiritual root.

Although Lu Yuan had yet to fight against Core Formation cultivators with multiple spiritual roots, Lu Yuan was still unsure of their strength.

However, Lu Yuan believed that for every additional Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens spiritual root that a Core Formation Stage cultivator had, they would gain a cultivation level increase of about rank one.

This was also the reason why Lu Yuan was so confident. He believed that once he completed the Perfect Core Formation through the way of the heavens with Nine-spiritual Root, he would be able to fight against the ordinary Core Formation Stage ninth transformation cultivator.

Since it was extremely difficult to form a core with a Nine-spiritual Root, it naturally had to have a corresponding effect.

If it were not for the system, Lu Yuan would not have had the assurance to complete the Core Formation through the way of the heavens with Nine-spiritual Root, no matter how much preparation he made.

The Core Formation with Nine-spiritual Root was equivalent to having nine Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens spiritual root.

The difficulty of forming the core was so high that it was not an exaggeration to call it super hell difficulty.

If he did not have enough golden core creation pills and luck value to assist him, Lu Yuan felt that he might not even have a 1% success rate of forming his core by himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan also began his preparations to find the golden core creation pill immortal herb in the future.

At the same time, he also began to condense his last heaven spiritual root, which was the thunder spiritual root.

If everything went smoothly, he should be able to complete the Perfect Core Formation through the way of the heavens in ten years.

However, Lu Yuan did not believe that his Core Formation process would be so idealistic.

After all, the Yue Dynasty was already in chaos.

Although the Niu Family Village lived in seclusion in the mountains, it did not mean that they would not be involved.

Once the battle between the princes continued to escalate.

It was only a matter of time before the battlefield spread to Niu Family Village.

However, Lu Yuan was also prepared for this. He guaranteed that he would not be affected by those outsiders..
