Chapter 65: Honorable Gentleman, Lu Yuan
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After leaving the underground prison, Lu Yuan returned to his courtyard.
Before he entered, he specially reminded the guard outside.
Unless there was something particularly important, he should never come in and disturb him.
After saying these words, Lu Yuan entered the small courtyard and began his secluded cultivation.
He made sure that there was no third party in his courtyard.
Lu Yuan took out the divine soul essence he had obtained from the underground prison.
Quickly, Lu Yuan took out his pill furnace.
…..
Because before he absorbed the divine soul essence, he needed to purify this thing.
After all, there were still many impurities in this divine soul essence.
If he were to absorb it directly, it would easily affect his divine soul.
Therefore, he needed to purify it first.
The purification method was not complicated. It was not much different from the purification of the medicinal ingredients that he had previously done for pill refinement.
After everything was ready, Lu Yuan threw the divine soul essence in his hand into the pill furnace.
Soon, a green flame rose in the pill furnace.
The divine soul essence of the Foundation Establishment Stage began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye.
While Lu Yuan purified the impurities in the divine soul, he also looked through the memories of the Black Mountain Practioner.
During the process, Lu Yuan looked at the memories as if he was watching a slide show.
The nature of divine soul purification was to remove some ‘unimportant’ memories.
Unimportant were just memories that Lu Yuan did not think it was important at this moment.
It was possible that some of the useful memories had been disposed of as trash by Lu Yuan.
However, to ensure safety when absorbing the divine soul, Lu Yuan still felt that it was best for the divine soul not to carry too much strong self-concept in the memories.
As he read more memories, Lu Yuan had more or less figured out the true origin of the Black Mountain Practitioner.
This old man was from the Xueyang Sect of the three devilish sects.
The reason why he fled to the Great Xia Kingdom was that he had secretly killed his fellow sect members while he was fighting for something within the sect.
If it was just ordinary killings of fellow sect members, given the cultivation of the Black Mountain Practitioner and the cruel disciple training system of the Xueyang Sect, there was no need for him to escape to the Great Xia Kingdom.
However, the person he killed had to be the grandson of a Core Formation Stage elder of the Xueyang Sect.
After the other party found out about this situation, they naturally would not let him off easily.
Therefore, after the Black Mountain Practitioner got what he wanted, he decisively ran away.
And something that could make Xueyang Practitioner kill his fellow sect member to get it naturally was no ordinary item.
The thing they were fighting over was the corpse of a Core Formation Stage demon king.
The Black Mountain Practitioner risked being hunted by his fellow sect members and snatched the corpse of a Core Formation Realm demon king.
The reason was closely related to the unique cultivation technique of the Xueyang Sect, the Blood Soul Spell.
The Blood Soul Spell was a special technique exclusive to the Xueyang Sect. It was a special technique that allowed cultivators to increase their cultivation and divine soul by absorbing the blood of their enemies.
This cultivation technique was also rare. It was a divine soul cultivation technique that could be cultivated before Core Formation Stage.
The corpse of a Core Formation Stage demon king was enough to allow the Black Mountain Practitioner, who was still in the Qi Cultivation Stage, to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.
After that, the Black Mountain Practitioner relied on the remaining blood in the corpse to cultivate to the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Naturally, there was a reason why Xueyang Sect was called a devilish sect.
Although the Blood Soul Spell had a low cultivation threshold, the cultivation effect was obvious and it could also cultivate the divine soul.
However, after cultivating this cultivation technique, there was a very big flaw.
That was, once the cultivator started to cultivate the Blood Soul Spell, they would have an extreme desire for blood and would never be able to quit.
It was a genuinely evil cultivation technique.
However, even though this cultivation technique was evil, the speed of cultivation was really fast!
Therefore, Xueyang Sect had the most Foundation Establishment Stage disciples among all the righteous and devil sects.
After he escaped to the Great Xia Kingdom, the fatal flaw of this cultivation technique made Black Mountain Practitioner unable to suppress his thirst for blood at all.
Despite knowing that it was dangerous, he still had to go out every month to hunt living people to satisfy his bloodlust.
As time went by, the Devil Slayers Division naturally targeted him.
In the end, he was arrested and imprisoned in the Devil Slayers Division.
It could only be said that the fate of people like them was often destined from the beginning.
The Black Mountain Practitioner, who had cultivated this evil cultivation technique, was basically destined to die a horrible death.
After Lu Yuan finished reading all of the memories of a Xueyang Practitioner, he found two useful points.
One, the exclusive cultivation technique of the Xueyang Sect, the Blood Soul Spell.
Two, a special divine ability that could be used with the Blood Soul Spell, Blood Soul Technique.
Lu Yuan temporarily did not have the desire to cultivate the Blood Soul Spell.
However, relying on the skill system, Lu Yuan felt that he would know more cultivation techniques in the future.
Maybe, he might be able to create an improved version of the Blood Soul Spell without the side effects of Bloodthirst.
Although he could not use the Blood Soul Spell, for the time being, the Blood Soul Technique was different.
The principle of the so-called Blood Soul Technique was to allow a cultivator to fuse a portion of their soul power into their blood.
From there, he reached the level of ‘using the soul to control blood’. The method was extremely strange.
This divine ability was said to be used in conjunction with the Blood Soul Spell.
This was because the Blood Soul Spell was one of the very few cultivation techniques that could allow cultivators to cultivate their divine soul before the Core Formation Stage.
In other words, as long as a cultivator had a powerful enough divine soul, even if he had never cultivated the Blood Soul Spell, he could still cultivate the divine ability, the Blood Soul Technique.
Therefore, cultivating the Blood Soul Spell was not a precondition for cultivating the divine ability, the Blood Soul Technique. Instead, one needed to have a certain power level of divine soul.
Apart from cultivation techniques and divine ability, Lu Yuan also learned about the specific situation of the three devilish sects from the memories of the Black Mountain Practitioner.
The three devilish sects were namely the Xueyang Sect, Shixian Sect and Huanxi Sect.
The characteristics of the Xueyang Sect and the Shixian Sect could be known just from the names of the sects.
The only thing that surprised Lu Yuan was the Huanxi Sect.
He originally thought that the Huanxi Sect should be similar to the Hehuan Sect in the celestial cultivation world of his previous life.
Inner sect, there were fairy sisters dressed in skimpy clothes.
However, the actual situation of the Huanxi Sect was completely different from what Lu Yuan had imagined!
This was because Huanxi Sect… was actually a Tantra Sect!!!
The so-called Huanxi Sect was originally definitely not a place where young ladies gathered.
Instead, it was a place where a group of baldies gathered to play!
Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about the scene of a group of muscular baldies gathered together.
It also caused him to instantly lose interest in the Huanxi Sect.
No, in a place like the Huanxi Sect, probably only the pillars are straight, the others are all not!
If a straight man like Lu Yuan went over, he might be turned gay very quickly.
It was better for him to hide far away in such a place.
Even if I, Lu Yuan, die, 1 don’t want to be captured by the Huanxi Sect! Absolutely not!
In general, the so-called three devilish sects, one was a blood lover, one was a corpse lover, and the last one was a bald lover.
…..
Compared to the Qingyun Sect, which was full of beauties, there was nothing to compare at all!
The devilish path was indeed devilish. No wonder it was rejected by the righteous!
Ah!
After understanding this, Lu Yuan almost dispelled the idea of joining if he could not win the fight.
Why should he join these three sects?
Just to play fencing with those devil cultivators!
After complaining, Lu Yuan put all his energy into refining the divine soul essence.
Half a day later, the fist-sized divine soul essence had shrunk to only one-tenth of its original size.
Although the size was much smaller, the remaining divine soul power was all incomparably pure essence.
It was an essence that Lu Yuan could absorb without worry.
As the last bit of impurity was removed by Lu Yuan, a sparkling white soul pill quickly appeared in the pill furnace.
Lu Yuan decisively took out the soul pill. After confirming that there was no problem, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Hiss!
After swallowing the soul pill, Lu Yuan immediately felt a cool sensation that rushed straight to the top of his head.
It felt like drinking a big bottle of Fat Otaku Happy Drink on a 40-degree summer day.
It was so refreshing that it was hard to breathe.
Apart from the power of the soul, this soul pill also contained the memory fragments Lu Yuan kept.
These memory fragments were related to the cultivation methods of the ‘Blood Soul Spell’ and the ‘Blood Soul Technique’.
However, even though he already knew the cultivation method of the Blood Soul Technique, Lu Yuan was still in no hurry to cultivate it.
At this moment, he began to observe the situation of his divine soul.
Perhaps it was because of his time travel, Lu Yuan’s divine soul strength was already far stronger than that of an ordinary person.
Coupled with the replenishment of this soul pill, this caused Lu Yuan’s current divine soul strength to become even stronger.
Lu Yuan roughly estimated that he only needed nine more soul pills like this.
He would almost be able to make his divine soul reach the ‘Emptiness Realm’ stage.
Reaching the Emptiness Realm divine soul meant that he could start cultivating the ‘Fire Cicada Nine Transformations’ cultivation technique.
Being able to cultivate this cultivation technique meant that he could start preparing for the fire and wood dual spiritual roots for the stage of the Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens.
Thinking of the Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens, Lu Yuan began to think about how he could increase the success rate of these two spiritual roots Foundation Establishment through the ways of the heavens.
There were differences between them and the previous three spiritual roots Foundation Establishment through the ways of the heavens.
This time, Lu Yuan did not find any suitable natural treasures to help him advance to the Foundation Establishment through the ways of the heavens.
Therefore, if he wanted to increase the success rate of his fire and earth spiritual root Foundation Establishment through the ways of the heavens, he needed to start with luck value.
When he thought of the luck value, he could not help but think of the number two lucky lady, Xu Wan’er, who he had just subdued.
There was still some time before his divine Soul reached the Emptiness Realm.
During this process, he could start the ‘training’ of the Number two lucky lady,
Xu Wan’er.
As he thought about it, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
“What should I do to make Number two Lucky Lady transform into a shape that suits me…
“Don’t misunderstand. I’m just coveting her luck. I don’t have any other thoughts.
“I, Lu Yuan, am a gentleman (beast in a coat)!”
