Chapter 231: Something’s Wrong with This Lu Yuan! 3
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
From the looks of it, Lu Yuan did not seem to be a simple person.
To be able to maintain a good relationship with so many Upper Realm cultivators, was this fellow really just an ordinary person?
Jing Ming had doubts in his heart.
After reading Lu Yuan’s information, he realized that Lu Yuan seemed to be a jack of all trades but master of none.
For example, in his early days in the Qingyun Sect, Lu Yuan had relied on his pill refinement talent to successfully rise to the sect’s inner circle.
Then, he learned swordsmanship, arrays, body refinement techniques, and so on.
Having learnt so many things, it was no wonder that this person’s cultivation progress was average.
However, Jing Ming was keenly aware of one issue: Lu Yuan had encountered too few life-and-death crises since he descended the mountain!
That’s right, the crises he had were too few, so few that Jing Ming felt that it was not proportional to his luck of knowing so many Upper Realm cultivators.
Logically speaking, for Lu Yuan to be able to know so many Upper Realm cultivators, his luck would definitely not be low.
However, luck was a double-edged sword. While it gave the cultivators good luck, it also brought them trials and tribulations.
Everyone with great luck experienced several life-and-death crises before growing rapidly.
However, Lu Yuan had only encountered one crisis since he started cultivating.
In Jing Ming’s opinion, this crisis was not serious.
Could the crisis faced by a mortal empire in the Lower Realm be considered a crisis?
The second half of Lu Yuan’s information was about his experience after he entered the Full Moon Mountain Range.
However, the Gates of Hell were a special checkpoint left behind by the Upper Realm. It would only open in the first 25 years.
As a result, these two Spirit Sword Sect cultivators were unable to investigate what Lu Yuan had experienced while he was there.
Actually, they could investigate further if they wanted to, but they didn’t think it was necessary to do so.
This was because they did not want to open the Gates of Hell just to investigate Lu Yuan.
Jing Ming felt that there was something wrong with Lu Yuan.
Although he had the ability and the right to open the Gates of Hell again, doing so was like shooting a mosquito with a cannon. It was possible, but it was not worth it.
Anyway, the highest level of cultivation one could have in the Gates of Hell was at the Core Formation Stage. Moreover, with this kid’s steady personality, he might not even need to meet the watchman to pass the assessment.
He would not be able to learn more about Lu Yuan even if he entered the Gates of Hell.
Overall, Jing Ming had a very intuitive understanding of Lu Yuan.
The latter was a steady, ordinary cultivator who was afraid of death and had no aspirations.
Yet, for some reason, Jing Ming felt that he had missed something.
Unfortunately, he could not quite pin it down.
Jing Ming carefully looked at Lu Yuan’s interpersonal relationships with the Upper Realm cultivators.
Overall, Lu Yuan had a good relationship with Meng Ruyan, Xu Wan’er, Ge Xiu, and the others.
Seeing this, Jing Ming seemed to have discovered something.
“Something’s wrong with this Lu Yuan…”
He mumbled, “He’s just an ordinary cultivator. How did he become close friends with these people? Also, why would that demoness, who is suspected to be related to the Upper Realm, take a fancy to such an ordinary cultivator from the Lower Realm? 1 think even many cultivators from the Upper Realm might not be able to catch her eye, right?”
Thinking of this, Jing Ming asked right away, “Where is Lu Yuan now?”
The two Spirit Sword Sect members looked at each other and replied, “Elder, he should be in the Niu Family Village.”
Niu Family Village?
When Jing Ming heard the name of the village, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He suddenly became interested in this cultivator called Lu Yuan.
This guy might not be as simple as he thought.
If Lu Yuan knew about this, he would definitely curse.
After this, if anyone said that sword cultivators were all boorish men who only thought about swordsmanship, Lu Yuan would get angry at them.
With Jing Ming’s insight, how could he be considered a boor?
