Chapter 2
[Currently available luck talents]
[1. Innate Sword Fanatic: The efficiency of practicing sword cultivation techniques will be increased by 500%. 100 points will be added to the metal spiritual root attribute.]
[2. Wind and Thunder Dao Fetus: Able to awaken the wind and thunder spiritual roots. 100 points will be added to each of the wind and thunder spiritual root attributes.]
[3. Destined Lucky Star: Can freely control one’s own luck and seize the luck of others.]
Looking at these three luck talents, Lu Yuan felt conflicted.
The first luck talent, Innate Sword Fanatic, was obviously for sword cultivators.
Sword cultivators were at the peak of the chain of disdain in the Qingyun Sect.
They were what people often referred to as superior.
After all, it was really cool to kill an enemy with a sword strike and behead an enemy from a thousand miles away!
However, Lu Yuan gave up on this luck talent in the first minute.
In Lu Yuan’s eyes, the sword cultivator was a legendary profession with high combat abilities but low defense.
The probability of him dying was too high!
It was true that sword cultivators could kill enemies of a higher realm, but they could in turn also be killed by others of a lower realm!
Between acting cool and preserving his life, Lu Yuan decisively chose the latter.
Killing the enemy was nothing great, only by living would there be a future!
Only the living could walk the path of celestial cultivation!
Too risky. Just too risky. Being a sword cultivator was simply too risky. He would consider the next one.
The second luck talent was Wind and Thunder Dao Fetus. This was a good luck talent. Not only could he awaken the wind and thunder spiritual roots, but he could also increase his wind and thunder spiritual root attributes by 100 points.
If possible, Lu Yuan wanted to choose this luck talent. But unfortunately, he knew from the memories of the body’s original owner that although the Qingyun Sect had the divine abilities of these two spiritual roots, they had very few techniques that were compatible with them.
Having the divine abilities but not the suitable cultivation techniques, wasn’t this the same as learning a skill but not having enough mana?
It would just be a decoration!
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan looked at the third luck talent, the Destined Lucky Star.
The description of this luck talent was short, but it contained a lot of information.
According to Lu Yuan’s experience of playing the “Tale of Immortal” in his previous life, even though “luck” couldn’t immediately increase one’s combat power, it had many uses.
If he didn’t remember wrongly, in the Tale of Immortal game, regardless of whether it was the cultivation breakthrough or skill advancement, there was a so-called “success rate”.
The role of luck was to increase this success rate.
If Destined Lucky Star only had the function of increasing his luck, Lu Yuan might still be in a dilemma between choosing the Wind Thunder Dao Fetus and Destined Lucky Star.
However, after seeing that Destined Lucky Star could even seize the luck of others, Lu Yuan suddenly felt that he had nothing to hesitate about.
What was the scariest thing in the world?
The scariest thing was naturally the occurrence of a low-probability event!
Even if the probability of something happening was only one percent, could one guarantee that it wouldn’t happen to one?
If the same thing were to happen to someone dozens or even hundreds of times, the so-called 1% would then be infinitely close to 100%!
Without 100% confidence was the same as not having confidence.
There was no difference between a 98% success rate and failure!
Destined Lucky Star would give him the ability to freely control his luck and seize other people’s luck. Without a doubt, it would help Lu Yuan eliminate all small probability events.
For example, he could add luck to his breakthrough, allowing him to achieve a 100% success rate. Another example was that he could add his luck to pill refinement, allowing him to refine pills with a 100% success rate. There were many benefits.
From this, the luck talent of Destined Lucky Star was simply the exclusive talent of those who developed with stability!
And he, Lu Yuan, was such a person!
So what if he was well-balanced? He would have his fortune too!
In the next second, Lu Yuan decisively chose the third luck talent, Destined Lucky Star!
[Luck Talent – Destined Lucky Star]
[Effect 1 – Destined: You can freely control your own luck and specify it on a certain matter.]
[Effect 2 – Lucky Star: When you suffer bad luck, you can absorb luck.]
[Effect 3 – Mixed Blessing: When you suffer misfortune many times, you can accumulate more luck, and a period of Destined Time has a small probability of occurring.]
[Destined Time: Within the specified time, your luck points will double.]
[Note: Fortune and misfortune come together. Whether it is a fortune or a misfortune, all is unknown… Unless it’s a major opportunity, it won’t consume luck.]
He looked at the description of Destined Lucky Star.
Lu Yuan could still understand the first two effects, but not the last one.
What did it mean by “when you suffer misfortune many times, you can accumulate more luck”?
So the system wanted him to be a dupe, huh?
Was he, Lu Yuan, the kind of person who would suffer losses?
Even if he starved to death or died outside today, he wouldn’t be a dupe!
Hmm… If there were benefits, he could consider doing it though.
Just as Lu Yuan was thinking about how to use the skill interface to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage before the third sect assessment, he felt like he had forgotten something.
“Strange, what have I forgotten?”
At that moment, footsteps were heard from outside the door.
In the next second, Lu Yuan’s expression turned ugly.
He finally remembered what he had forgotten.
He seemed to be in the senior sister’s room!
The reason behind this wasn’t complicated. The original owner of this body was limited by his talent and thus his cultivation had been slow to progress. Seeing that the next sect assessment was hopeless, he prepared to find another way.
In Lu Yuan’s opinion, the method the body’s original owner chose was indeed crooked.
To think the body’s original owner had chosen to sell his body to a Foundation Establishment Stage senior sister who had taken a fancy to his appearance!
To put it simply, the body’s original owner had been thinking of living off a woman!
If that were just the case, Lu Yuan wouldn’t have been so nervous.
The crux of the problem was that this senior sister had a fiancé!
Furthermore, the senior sister’s fiancé had also entered the Qingyun Sect, and his cultivation had also reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Although the senior sister didn’t fancy her fiancé at all and wanted to find an opportunity to break off the engagement, unfortunately, the other people in the sect didn’t think so.
This was also why the senior sister had never been able to find an opportunity to make her intentions clear.
Back to the main topic, the reason why Lu Yuan was the only one in the senior sister’s room at this moment was that the senior sister’s fiancé had come looking for her.
While the senior sister went out to deal with the situation, she also told Lu Yuan to hide quickly.
Lu Yuan had been thinking about the matters with the skill interface earlier and had totally forgotten about the situation for the time being.
To be fair, who the hell would have thought that the first thing he had to do after transmigrating was to hide as a lover did?
Even though he was speechless, Lu Yuan still immediately took action.
After all, if he was discovered by that senior brother now, he would not be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
What did the original Lu Yuan’s actions have to do with him, a transmigrator?
To think he had to take the blame, damn it!
Lu Yuan ridiculed the situation in his heart.
As time was of the essence, Lu Yuan began to search for a place to hide.
Under the bed? No, no, this place was too obvious. He would be easily found.
In the cabinet? It still wouldn’t work. That was a classic hiding place, and he would still be easily caught.
The ceiling? It was still a no! What if that senior brother just happened to raise his head?
As he was thinking, Lu Yuan suddenly saw the half-opened wooden window…
If he remembered correctly, Foundation Establishment Stage disciples could choose a private residence.
The senior sister’s residence was located on the peak of a mountain.
Outside the wooden window was an abyss, which meant that outside the window, there would definitely be no one.
It should be a good hiding place, similar to the balcony where lovers often hid in stories.
However, there was only a small landing point between the wooden window and the edge of the cliff. If he was not careful, he might fall into the abyss.
But under the life and death crisis, he… He had no other choice!
Lu Yuan jumped off the bed and out of the window, standing firm on the small piece of ground, his movements smooth and professional.
Those who didn’t know would think that he often did this kind of thing.
However, in contrast to his elegant movements, Lu Yuan’s face was very pale.
He was only at the Qi Cultivation Stage and didn’t know how to ride a flying sword yet!
If he were to fall, he wouldn’t even have a corpse left.
A few seconds later, Lu Yuan started to regret his decision.
Instead of choosing to hide in such a dangerous place, it would’ve been better to hide under the bed or in the cupboard.
At the very least, these two hiding places would not be life-threatening.
“Forget it, I’ll just go back. It’s too dangerous here.”
Just as Lu Yuan was about to return to the room through the window again, the door was gently pushed open.
Without any hesitation, Lu Yuan immediately stopped his actions, returning to the foot-sized rock landing.
Not long after, a man and a woman appeared at the door.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan’s reactions had been fast. Otherwise, he would have been caught red-handed.
Other transmigrators would have their fiancées come to break off their engagement, then start a touching story of working hard and becoming stronger, proving everyone wrong.
In contrast, Lu Yuan had transmigrated and was forced to be a hiding lover, shivering in the cold wind on the cliff.
He was also a transmigrator, so why was there such a huge difference?
