One couldn’t have existed in the martial arts world without encountering danger.
To avoid danger, one could use a pseudonym.
Lu Yuan had never relaxed in the aspect of stability.
Lu Yuan did not let his guard down even though he was only facing a demon king at the first transition of the Core Formation Stage.
He would not easily reveal his true identity.
After all, Lu Yuan couldn’t be sure if the demon king had any hidden skills or powerful connections.
If the enemy wasn’t eliminated, he could become a future threat.
Using a pseudonym would ensure that any problems wouldn’t implicate his true identity.
This way, his safety would undoubtedly be greatly improved.
As for why he chose the name Xu Xian, it was simply a perverse sense of humor.
When he saw a big black snake that was more than ten meters long, Lu Yuan would naturally think of a certain ‘Said Snake Hero’.
He casually called out the name Xu Xian.
The name itself didn’t matter. It was merely a code word. Whether he used Xu Xian, Ning Caichen, or Dong Yong, it made no difference.
On the other side, the Black Snake King didn’t let down his guard even after hearing the name Xu Xian.
Apprentice of a pharmacy? Which apprentice of a pharmacy would be able to get close to a Core Formation Stage demon king without making a sound?
He assumed that Lu Yuan was an expert hidden among the common people, as there were no celestial cultivation sects in the Yue Dynasty.
However, cultivators from the outside world would come to the Full Moon Mountain Range every 300 years.
As a result, there were still many cultivation techniques passed down in the Yue Dynasty.
Some of these cultivators from the outside world even chose to stay here.
After all, they weren’t easy to leave the middle section of the Full Moon Mountain Range.
There were only two ways to leave this place.
One was to create a path to immortality and ascend to the Upper Realm after passing the test.
The other was to follow the sect’s elder and left through the Gates of Hell after the Tidal Moon was about to end.
Other than these two methods, there was no other way.
Once they missed the closing period of the Tidal Moon, they could only wait for the next opening of the Tidal Moon if they wanted to leave.
However, not all cultivators who stayed in the Yue Dynasty were coerced into doing so.
Many of them believed that they had a chance to ascend to immortality and chose to stay voluntarily.
There were also many cultivators who made this decision.
The sects typically did not interfere with the choices of these cultivators.
It was just like how if these disciples could pass the path of immortal ascension, it would also be quite beneficial to the sect.
This unique situation led to a different dynamic between cultivators and demons in the Yue Dynasty compared to the outside world.
The cultivators here were divided into two types. One type was those who lived in the mountain and only came out when they were going to take the immortal ascension test.
The other was those who pretended to be ordinary people and live in the Yue Dynasty.
As long as they were not provoked, they would not initiate any aggression.
The demons in the Full Moon Mountain Range couldn’t attack ordinary people.
However, they could attack those with spiritual roots.
In the eyes of the demons, they were the best prey.
Due to the regularity of the Tidal Moon, the demons had almost figured out the entry and exit rules of cultivators from the outside world.
Currently, this period of time was the peak season for cultivators to enter.
Therefore, many demons had already set up an ambush in the places where cultivators often appeared.
Xu Wan’er’s encounter with the Black Snake King was not entirely due to her bad luck.
Even if she did not encounter the Black Snake King, she just had to continue walking, she would have soon encountered other demon kings.
While other cultivators might not be able to deal with a Core Formation Stage demon like the Black Snake King, it didn’t mean that Lu Yuan couldn’t.
Ignoring the Black Snake King’s watchful gaze, Lu Yuan went straight to Xu Wan’er’s side and teasingly remarked, “Hey, you! I asked you to cultivate properly before. Now, do you understand the good intentions I had for you?”
“If you had cultivated properly before, you might not even need me to help you now.”
Xu Wan’er didn’t get angry at his scolding and instead felt a warm feeling inside.
At this moment, Lu Yuan also noticed the little girl in Xu Wan’er’s arms.
For some reason, Lu Yuan felt a familiar aura from this little girl.
That was the smell of luck!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan decided to check the interface of the Shan Yao.
[Name: Shan Yao]
[Cultivation: None]
[Cultivation Technique: None]
[LuckTalent: Natural Foodie]
[Luck Value: 1500/3000]
D*mn, which corner did this ‘monster’ come from?
Looking at the little girl’s luck value of 3000 points, Lu Yuan couldn’t hold it in anymore.
Such a high-luck value had already surpassed his number one lucky lady, the demoness Meng Ruyan.
He looked at Shan Yao, who was hiding in Xu Wan’er’s arms and looked at him timidly.
Lu Yuan did not know what to say for a moment.
Xu Wan’er was a lucky girl. Not only was she accidentally dragged into the Full Moon Mountain Range, but she was also chased by the Black Snake King.
However, she was lucky enough to be discovered and rescued by Lu Yuan in time.
Now, she had randomly picked up a little girl, and she was a little ‘monster’ with a luck value of 3000 points.
Could it be that there was actually a mutual attraction between the lucky ones?
When Lu Yuan met Meng Ruyan, he also met Chen Yan.
And now, after finding Xu Wan’er, he had also picked up a little girl.
It seemed that he needed to let these lucky people go out more in the future.
Who knows what kind of unexpected gains they might bring back?
With some curiosity, Lu Yuan looked at the luck talent of the Shan Yao.
[LuckTalent: Natural Foodie]
[Effect: Invulnerable to all poisons and could eat anything. Eating would increase her blood qi. ]
[Description: In the eyes of a foodie, there were no options of whether or not to eat something. There was only delicious or not-so-delicious food.]
“I understand, this girl is an invincible big foodie!” Lu Yuan thought.
In an instant, Lu Yuan grasped the essence of Shan Yao’s luck talent.
While others relied on opportunities and comprehension to cultivate, this child’s cultivation depended on eating!
At the thought of this, Lu Yuan’s gaze toward Shan Yao changed.
With this talent, if the child was well-fed, wouldn’t she have been able to constantly become stronger without doing anything at all?
Compared to Shan Yao’s talent, Xu Wan’er’s and Meng Ruyan’s luck talents were nothing!
Just as Lu Yuan was observing Shan Yao, the Black Snake King saw Lu Yuan giving him his back, and he immediately began to accumulate demonic power.
Although he couldn’t sense Lu Yuan’s exact strength, he felt that Lu Yuan was definitely a cultivator from the outside world.
The cultivators from the outside world who would appear during this period of time would not be stronger than the Core Formation Stage.
Even if this guy named Xu Xian was strange, as long as he was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, he would not be his opponent!
Black Snake King thought, “Could the Foundation Establishment Stage be able to fight against the Core Formation Stage?”
“Do you really think that the hundreds and thousands of years of demonic power of our demon kings are just for show?”
