Chapter 13
My name is Bai Dafei, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator from the Qingyun Sect’s Pharmacist Valley.
You may not know the value of Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.
I’ll put it this way.
When the mortals outside see me, they have to respectfully call me Celestial Bai.
This is who I am, a successful person who has gotten rid of low-class interests and achieved success in cultivation.
Besides my Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, I also have exquisite pill refinement skills.
I’m not bragging, but I joined Qingyun Sect when I was fifteen and successfully broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage when I was thirty.
Although I am not among the top in the sect, I am definitely among the best.
It’s said that men should establish themselves at 30 years old. Although I reached the Foundation Establishment Stage at 30 years old, compared to those geniuses in the sect who reached the Qi Cultivation Stage at the age of ten and the Foundation Establishment Stage at the age of fifteen, my talent can only be considered average.
After living in the sect for more than ten years, I understood one thing: Celestial cultivators were also humans, and the ways of the world were important to humans.
As long as I have enough friends and am kind enough, I won’t have any problems!
If one wanted to make friends, the best way was to master a core skill so that others would have to come to one for help.
As such, after some careful consideration, I gave up the opportunity to go to the main peak and chose to come to the Pharmacist Valley to learn pill refinement.
Fortunately, my talent in pill refinement is quite good.
In a year, I was able to refine the elementary cultivation pill by myself and become an outer sect disciple of the Pharmacist Valley.
In five years, I was able to refine Foundation Establishment Stage pills on my own and become an official disciple of the valley of pills.
After that, I was chosen by a Core Formation Stage elder named Han Yuanshan and became his direct disciple.
However, I know my situation very well.
Although my cultivation isn’t considered slow, I’m still far behind those direct disciples of the other peaks.
If we were to really fight, I’m definitely not their match.
Therefore, after becoming a direct disciple, I didn’t become arrogant and complacent but instead paid more attention to ordinary interpersonal relationships.
Under my painstaking management, the entire Qingyun Sect, from the Core Formation Stage elders to the Qi Cultivation Stage disciples, all praise me endlessly. I have an extremely good reputation!
In short, celestial cultivation is not about fighting and killing, but about the ways of the world!
…
“Senior brother… Senior brother?”
Bai Dafei, who was sleeping on the table, rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked up when he heard the noise.
The person in front of him was a handsome disciple wearing the Pharmacist Valley’s apprentice uniform.
“How should I address you, Junior brother?”
“My name is Lu Yuan.”
“Oh, so it’s Junior Brother Lu. Sit, sit. Don’t just stand there. If others see this, they’ll think that I’m abusing my junior brother,” As he spoke, Bai Dafei pulled Lu Yuan to sit on a chair at the side.
Lu Yuan was unable to adapt to such a warm attitude.
That’s strange. When did people in the cultivation world become so kind?
After Lu Yuan sat down, Bai Dafei’s chubby face revealed a kind smile.
“Junior Brother Lu, you’re here to take the Pharmacist Valley’s outer sect disciple test, right? ”
“Yes, I am.”
“I thought as much. Wait a moment. I’ll contact the others to prepare the venue.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Dafei began to contact the others.
In the process, Lu Yuan was also sizing up Bai Dafei.
As the saying goes, one could not be rude to someone smiling. Bai Dafei’s kind attitude left a good impression on Lu Yuan.
If everyone in the celestial cultivation world was like this senior brother in front of him, then this world might have fewer tragedies.
Lu Yuan looked at Bai Dafei’s panel with some curiosity.
[Name: Bai Dafei]
[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage level 4″
[Lifespan: 50/300]
[Cultivation Technique: Qingyun Technique (Foundation Establishment chapter)]
[Luck Talent: Benign]
[Skills: Pill Refining Technique (level 3, Foundation Establishment Stage), Incinerating Flame (level 6), …]
[Luck Value: 1300/1500]
[Benign: People with this talent will have a strong affinity and will not easily attract hostility from others.]
Lu Yuan was stunned when he saw Bai Dafei’s luck value.
To think the other party had an upper limit of 1500 points of luck.
One could not blame Lu Yuan for being so surprised. After all, even the demoness Meng Ruyan only had an upper limit of 2000 points of luck.
It could be said that Bai Dafei’s luck was the second highest among all the cultivators Lu Yuan had encountered so far.
One’s luck value determined one’s future upper limit to a large extent.
Generally speaking, the upper limit of a normal person’s luck value would fluctuate around 100. A luckier person might have a luck value of more than 500.
Once one’s luck exceeded 500, one would usually have a luck talent.
Meng Ruyan and Chen Yan were the best examples.
Those with a luck talent and those without were two completely different examples when it came to cultivation.
Lu Yuan had a deep understanding of this.
The reason why Lu Yuan was so afraid of Meng Ruyan was that she had the highest luck among all the people he had met.
Her future definitely wasn’t something an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could compare to.
It could be said that it was because of Meng Ruyan’s terrifying talent that Lu Yuan had always felt a sense of urgency and did not dare to relax.
When he realized that Senior Brother Bai Dafei had a bright future ahead of him as well, Lu Yuan immediately thought of befriending him.
After all, the more friends one had, the more paths one could take. Not to mention, Lu Yuan could seize luck from others.
He might be able to get some benefits from this senior brother in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took the initiative to speak up, “Senior brother, may I ask what the outer sect disciple’s assessment is about?”
“Don’t worry, Junior Brother Lu. The assessment is not hard. You just need to refine a total of 15 Qi Cultivation Stage pills in three attempts.”
Hearing the content of the examination, Lu Yuan became even calmer.
This was because even if he didn’t use his luck talent, Destined Lucky Star, he was still able to guarantee a success rate of more than 60% every time he refined pills.
With the help of his luck talent, his success rate could achieve 80% or above, and sometimes even 100%.
It would be more than enough to deal with this assessment.
Not long after, Bai Dafei was done with the preparations for the assessment.
“Alright, Junior Brother Lu. Come with me.”
After a short while, the two walked toward a place at the back of the hall that was exclusively used for the assessment.
During this journey, Bai Dafei observed Lu Yuan. He noticed that the latter had been very calm throughout the journey.
It was as if he had a well-thought-out plan for this assessment.
This made Bai Dafei adamant that this junior brother was not simple!
He was so handsome and young. If he had an outstanding talent in pill refinement as well, the junior brother’s future would be limitless!
Bai Dafei, who was well-versed in the ways of the world, knew the difference between offering fuel in snowy weather and adding flowers to brocade.
Therefore, while leading Lu Yuan to the assessment venue, he had already made a decision in his heart.
To Bai Dafei, this junior brother seemed to be a good candidate for a friend. He was no ordinary person. Bai Dafei decided to keep in touch with him and find an opportunity to build a relationship with him in the future.
What he didn’t know was that Lu Yuan, who was beside him, had similar thoughts.
To Lu Yuan, this senior brother seemed to be a good candidate for a friend. He was someone he could benefit from. In the future, he would interact more with the other party and find an opportunity to gather some luck.
When the “friendly monster” met the “steady-development monster”, the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
In such a harmonious atmosphere, the two soon arrived at the assessment venue at the back of the hall.
