Lu Yuan didn’t know what the Mountain God was thinking.
However, he suspected that the other party had discovered that something was off.
Lu Yuan knew that he could not completely avoid the notice of the Mountain God when he absorbed the luck from the dragon vein.
His goal from the beginning was to find a way to buy himself enough time. After absorbing a certain amount of luck, he would decisively leave this place.
He would try not to be discovered.
[Ding! You activated the luck talent, Destined Lucky Star, to absorb the surrounding luck. Luck value +500.]
[Ding! You activated the luck talent Destined Lucky Star, to absorb the surrounding luck. Luck value +500.]
He was worried that the Mountain God would find out that he was stealing luck. Therefore, he acted very carefully.
The strategy he adopted was not one of scale, but rather on frequency.
In other words, he minimized the amount of luck absorbed at a time, but increased the frequency of absorption.
In about two hours, Lu Yuan was able to absorb 1,000 luck points.
1,000 points of luck was not a small amount, but compared to the vast amount of luck in front of him, he had merely extracted a small sliver.
However, things like luck were not renewable.
Five days later, Lu Yuan’s current luck value was 120,000 points.
Looking at his 120,000 luck value, Lu Yuan felt that it was about time for him to leave.
Across the past five days, he had absorbed about 60,000 points of luck value.
It allowed his luck to reach a shocking 120,000 points.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan had specifically used the magic instrument given to him by the Third Prince to absorb three balls of Dragon Energy.
Lu Yuan would use these balls of Dragon Energy to exchange for the Heavenly Lake Lotus Root with the Third Prince.
At present, the only thing Lu Yuan lacked to refine the golden core creation pill was the Heavenly Lake Lotus Root.
With these three balls of Dragon Energy, he could easily make an exchange for it.
Now, he only needed to leave safely to meet all the conditions to refine the golden core creation pill.
Although he could continue to absorb luck here, he decisively felt that it was about time for him to leave before his greed came back to bite him.
If he continued to absorb luck, he might be discovered by the Mountain God.
It was hard to say what he would befall him then.
Perhaps he would lose everything he had obtained because of his greed.
In this world where he could be anything, he must not become a gambler.
He would stop while he was ahead!
With this thought in mind, Lu Yuan directly came to the edge of the cave.
He looked at the calm situation outside and finally chose to activate the few remaining Destined Time.
[Ding! You activated the special state, Destined Time. Your luck value has temporarily doubled.]
[Current luck value: 240,000 points]
Just like before, Lu Yuan felt that his intuition had become extremely sharp after activating Destined Time.
He suddenly felt a sense of danger.
He had a feeling that if he went out now, he would definitely encounter great danger.
He stopped where he was and did not go out.
This decision allowed Lu Yuan to avoid the Mountain God’s detection.
At this moment, the Mountain God scanned the territory with his spiritual sense again, and his face was filled with confusion.
He mumbled, “This is strange. 1 clearly feel that my luck has decreased by a little. But why haven’t I detected anyone? Could it be that someone is hiding in a place where my spiritual sense can’t detect them?”
Aside from the dragon vein, where the Mountain God’s spiritual sense was severely suppressed due to luck there, he could acutely sense everything in his entire territory.
The Mountain God had been carefully checking the surrounding arrays for the past few days.
He was certain that the surrounding arrays had not been triggered.
These arrays were a threat to even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators.
Whenever a cultivator entered the vicinity of the dragon vein, the arrays would definitely be activated.
Traces of their presence would definitely be left behind.
The Mountain God was confident that no one in the Lower Realm could enter this place without triggering the arrays here.
After all, this was something that even Nascent Soul Stagecultivators could not do.
Not to mention that in the entire Lower Realm, cultivators would at most be at the Nascent Soul Stage.
After considering all this, the Mountain God comforted himself by thinking, “Perhaps this decrease in luck wasn’t caused by someone stealing my luck, but because something has happened to the human empire beyond my territory.”
After all, luck fluctuated.
When the empire was strong, its luck would also strengthen.
On the contrary, the empire’s luck would weaken when the empire was threatened.
Even though the Mountain God wanted to check out the dragon vein under the hill, he was unable to approach it.
He was under restrictions left behind by cultivators from the Upper Realm.
Once he got too close to the dragon vein, the restrictions on his body would be triggered.
The cultivators of the Upper Realm also had to guard against the Mountain God’s theft.
With the presence of the arrays and the Mountain God, the cultivators of the Upper Realm would never have imagined that someone could actually avoid the arrays and the Mountain God’s detection and come into contact with the dragon vein here.
It was impossible. Only an Apotheosis Stage big shot, or an evildoer with heaven-defying luck could pull something like that off.
The probability of such beings appearing in the Myriad Bone Forest was infinitesimally small.
Therefore, when the cultivators of the Upper Realm designed the arrays here, they naturally regarded the Mountain God as someone who might steal the luck from the dragon vein..
