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

Chapter 43 - 43: Start Learning Combat Skills



Through Bai Dafei’s matter, this was the first time Lu Yuan found out that he could also obtain luck value by changing the bad luck of others.

In fact, in a sense, this situation was equivalent to Bai Dafei using his luck to offset the misfortune that might befall him because he was on the Mortal Rank.

Had Bai Dafei lost out? Definitely not.

After all, although luck was precious, life was obviously more precious than that.

If not for Lu Yuan’s reminder, Bai Dafei, who was on the Mortal Rank and had a high ranking, would have died.

It was very likely that he would be targeted by a devilish way disciple to make a name for himself.

After all, compared to ordinary sword cultivators or spell cultivators, a pharmacist like Bai Dafei was undoubtedly easier to deal with.

Pharmacists were the standard support or logistics characters in games.

Generally speaking, these kinds of characters wouldn’t have very strong combat power.

They were the typical pushovers that were definitely easier to beat than other types of cultivators.

When he thought of this, Lu Yuan felt that he really was such a good person.

If it wasn’t for him, Senior Brother Bai might have been in danger.

Having such a good junior brother like him was really the other party’s good fortune!

As for the 1000 points of luck value, he would take it as a thank-you gift from his senior brother.

After sighing with emotion, Lu Yuan began to recollect his thoughts and prepare to start today’s cultivation.

Although Lu Yuan felt helpless when he learned that he had been ranked on the Mortal Rank, it was not a particularly difficult problem to deal with.

He could just randomly find a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple and pretend to lose to the other party.

That fellow disciple should be very happy when the time came.

After all, to most people, being able to enter the Mortal Rank was a big deal.

It didn’t only just bring fame.

From a certain perspective, being on the Mortal Rank was also a symbol of potential. Once one entered the Mortal Rank, the sect would give one more attention and nurture. After all, disregarding the neutral sect, Taohua Sect, there were more than 200 Foundation Establishment Stage direct disciples in the eight big sects, but only 100 people could enter the Mortal Rank.

Therefore, it was not an easy task for most of the direct disciples to enter the Mortal Rank.

Lu Yuan speculated that if Mu Qiqi, who ranked sixth on the Mortal Rank, hadn’t been present among the people who captured him back then, with his current cultivation and the techniques he had displayed, he wouldn’t have been able to enter the Mortal Rank by coming in last either.

However, compared to how he entered the Mortal Rank, Lu Yuan was more curious about what methods the Taohua Sect had used to rank the talents.

His speculation was that the people of the Taohua Sect had some special magic item that could detect the approximate strength of the cultivators on the ranking.

Or, there was a spy from the Taohua Sect in every sect.

Although the former was possible, it wasn’t very likely.

The latter was the most likely.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan began to doubt Meng Ruyan’s true identity.

Could it be that she was a spy from the Taohua Sect?

However, even though he had such a guess, Lu Yuan would not immediately probe Meng Ruyan’s identity.

After all, the Taohua Sect was no ordinary power. The current number one Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in the world was in the Taohua Sect.

The reason why one could become the number one cultivator in this world once reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage was that this world was at the edge of the celestial cultivation world.

Not only was this place lacking in resources, but it was also relatively closed off.

The Nascent Soul Stage was the upper limit here.

If one wanted to go further, one would have to leave this world and head to the center.

Otherwise, given that the founder of the Qingyun Sect was clearly a big shot who had ascended to become a celestial, there was no reason for his disciples and grand disciples to not even have the ability to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Only the restriction of heaven and earth could explain this.

Lu Yuan hadn’t deduced all this himself.

Han Yuanshan had told him all this after he became a Foundation Establishment Stage disciple.

However, it was meaningless for him to know this now.

To be honest, Lu Yuan was very satisfied with the current situation.

The environment was closed off, which meant that there would not be too many outsiders.

Without too many outsiders, he didn’t have to worry about meeting the top big shots who were on expeditions in the mortal world and being killed by them.

As for resources, Lu Yuan was even less worried.

He was now only a small Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator and would thus not encounter a situation where resources were limited yet.

When he reached the Core Formation Stage or even the Nascent Soul Stage, this weakness will slowly manifest.

However, he currently just needed to develop slowly.

After Lu Yuan confirmed that his ranking on the Mortal Rank would not affect him in the short term, he began today’s cultivation.

[Ding! You have performed pill refinement seriously. Metaphysical Pill Refinement Technique proficiency +50.]

[Ding! You have seriously performed fire control once. Fire Wielding Technique proficiency +60.]

[Ding! You have seriously performed item manipulation once. Exquisite Item Manipulation proficiency +50.]

After the pill refinement, Lu Yuan went outside to carry out a complete set of nurturing procedures for the medicinal herbs in the herb fields, such as loosening the soil, watering, trimming the leaves, and injecting rare metal nutrients.

During this process, Lu Yuan’s other five-element Item Manipulation and elementary skills also improved quite a bit.

[Ding! You have seriously performed the Earth Wielding Technique once. Earth Wielding Technique +30.]

[Ding! You have seriously performed the Wood Wielding Technique once. Wood Wielding Technique proficiency +45.]

[Ding! You have seriously performed the Water Wielding Technique once. Water Wielding Technique proficiency +60.]

It was already afternoon by the time he was done.

This was also the time when Lu Yuan cultivated other divine abilities.

With the appearance of the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Ranks, Lu Yuan felt a sense of danger.

Perhaps one day, even a pharmacist like him would be forced to the front lines.

Although he didn’t want to do something as dangerous as fighting with others, Lu Yuan knew that as long as he was still in Qingyun Sect, he would have to help the sect in battle one day.

After all, on the surface, celestial cultivators seemed like they didn’t care about the worldly matters of the mortal world, but in reality, that was only because they didn’t think much of what the mortals valued.

In order to compete for the resources that the celestial cultivators had set their eyes on, it was not uncommon for them to fight each other.

It could even be said that fighting for limited cultivation resources was the norm for cultivators.

For a cultivator like Lu Yuan, who was cultivating in a sect and had displayed a certain amount of talent, he was already considered very lucky since he was being nurtured by the sect.

Those unaffiliated cultivators without sects were the ones who had it tough during cultivation.

They might even be willing to risk their lives to complete some tasks for an elementary cultivation pill.

For example, the Devil Slayers Division in the Great Xia Kingdom, a mortal Kingdom controlled by the Qingyun Sect, had such situations.

In the Devil Slayers Division, other than a few disciples sent by the Qingyun Sect, the majority of the members were the unaffiliated cultivators of the mortal world.

Every time these unaffiliated cultivators completed a mission, they would basically receive some cultivation pills and spiritual stones.

Their mission was to solve the evil incidents in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Some of these evil incidents could be caused by evil cultivators, while others could be natural.

After all, anything could happen when there was sufficient spiritual power between heaven and earth.

Lu Yuan, who was in the Qingyun Sect, did not have to deal with these situations for the time being.

However, there were some problems that he couldn’t avoid even if he wanted to. He would encounter them sooner or later.

The only thing he could do was to prepare more methods before such a problem arose.

This was to avoid situations where he did not have enough trump cards or was not prepared.

Thus, the current Lu Yuan was preparing to enrich his combat methods.

In terms of defense, he had the Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique.

In terms of escaping, he had the Breeze Mystical Scripture.

The only thing he was lacking now was some offensive divine abilities.

The most suitable attack method he could think of was no doubt Swordsmanship.

After all, if one didn’t cultivate a sword, how could it be called celestial cultivation?

No matter how one looked at it, flying on a sword was more handsome than flying on a spear or flying on an axe…

Hence, in the following days, Lu Yuan put his Swordsmanship on the agenda.

[Ding! You have seriously cultivated your Swordsmanship. Elementary Swordsmanship proficiency +10..]
