I Hide And Farm In The World Of Cultivation To Increase My Proficiency

Chapter 172: Near the Central Region

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At this moment, it wasn’t just Lu Yuan who wasn’t in a hurry.

Even Tang Hongzhi and Lian Caijun, who were next to him, appeared calm and unhurried.

It was as if they had come here for a leisurely outing rather than to enter the Myriad Bone Forest.

If it was only Lu Yuan who remained composed, Shan Yao might only think that this was due to Lu Yuan’s personality.

But when all three masters displayed the same demeanor, Shan Yao became a little confused.

Could it be that entering this Forbidden Area earlier wasn’t necessarily better?

Perhaps sensing Shan Yao’s confusion, Lian Caijun, whose face was pale as if he were ill, smiled and said, “Shan Yao, in places like this Forbidden Area, things are often not as simple as they appear. There are likely some dangers hidden within.”

“If we enter now, we might encounter unknown risks. It’s better to let others go in first and assess the situation.”

Upon hearing these words, Shan Yao seemed to understand something and clapped her hands.

“I understand now! It seems the three masters intended to let the other cultivators take the lead in exploring the paths!”

Lu Yuan glanced at Shan Yao in surprise.

He didn’t expect that this naturally simple-minded person would suddenly have a moment of brilliance.

Just as Shan Yao had said, they had let the other cultivators take the lead in exploring the paths.

The reason the Forbidden Area was called such was that it often held great dangers.

And in a Forbidden Area like the Myriad Bone Forest, there were numerous reports of Core Formation Stage cultivators perishing.

Although Lu Yuan was confident in his abilities, he believed it was best for their group to proceed with caution.

He decided to let the others enter first while they waited for an opportune moment.

Even if they encountered danger, it was unlikely to be an unforeseen situation.

After waiting for about half an hour, Lu Yuan and the others finally made their decision to act.

Lu Yuan looked at Lian Caijun and Tang Hongzhi beside him. The two of them nodded at Lu Yuan, indicating that they were ready.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan immediately took out his geometric compass magical instrument.

As he laid out an array, the four of them were completely enveloped by the array.

Lu Yuan controlled the array and brought the three of them into the Myriad Bone Forest.

Upon entering the mist surrounding the Myriad Bone Forest, Lu Yuan quickly sensed a chilling aura.

This type of aura was not unfamiliar to Lu Yuan. It was the death aura unique to the Gates of Hell.

In such an environment, Lu Yuan began to fully activate his Yin spiritual root.

Lu Yuan also converted his array into the Yin attribute.

The death aura, which was troublesome to living people was quickly converted into precise spiritual energy within Lu Yuan’s array.

Seeing Lu Yuan’s skillful array, Lian Caijun couldn’t help but say, “Fellow Daoist Lu, your array skills would rank among the top cultivators in the Upper Realm.”

In response to Lian Caijun’s praise, Lu Yuan modestly replied, “I only have a basic understanding of array.”

Tang Hongzhi, who was beside them, couldn’t help but roll his eyes after hearing Lu Yuan’s words.

Although he was a body cultivator, as a cultivator from the Upper Realm, Tang Hongzhi still had a certain level of insight.

Lu Yuan’s proficiency in the array was not merely a basic understanding.

At least, the array master that Tang Hongzhi had encountered would find it difficult to freely change arrays like Lu Yuan.

It was even more challenging to have an array set up around oneself at all times.

Both of these aspects were not an easy task.

Under the protection of Lu Yuan’s array, the group quickly arrived at a forest entirely composed of white bones.

Under the twisted white bone trees, there were numerous skeletal remains of various creatures.

There were cultivators and demonic beasts among them.

Upon reaching this area, they knew that they had truly arrived at the Myriad Bone Forest.

Lu Yuan looked around and then said seriously, “Please be careful. I think we would soon encounter trouble.”

Lu Yuan didn’t know that it was his being pessimistic or his perception of the enemy’s presence.

Not long after Lu Yuan finished speaking, rustling sounds came from the distant forest.

Before long, a group of bone demons slowly emerged from the forest and approached Lu Yuan’s group.

[Bronze Bone Demons]

[Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Stage]

[Description: Special demons formed from the bones of cultivators who died in the Myriad Bone Forest]

Upon seeing the bone demons, Lu Yuan, Tang Hongzhi, and Lian Caijun didn’t immediately take action.

Instead, they turned to look at Shan Yao, who was standing nearby.

A group of bone demons at the Foundation Establishment Stage wouldn’t pose a significant threat to them.

It was a perfect opportunity for Shan Yao to practice her skills.

Shan Yao saw Lu Yuan and the other’s expressions and quickly understood what they meant.

Then, Shan Yao took the initiative to walk out of the array and walked toward the bone demons.

Not long after, both sides started fighting.

These bone demons were quite strong, and their bodies were as tough as fine iron, so they were not afraid of pain.

However, these bone demons were not enough to deal with a humanoid tyrannosaurus like Shan Yao.

Lu Yuan only took a few simple glances and no longer paid attention to Shan Yao’s situation.

As Lu Yuan waved his hand, several Paper Men immediately flew out of his storage bag.

As soon as these Paper Men landed, they bowed to Lu Yuan and then ran towards the surrounding forest.

With the assistance of these Paper Men, Lu Yuan could gather the information that his spiritual sense couldn’t detect.

Lu Yuan hadn’t forgotten his purpose for coming to the Myriad Bone Forest.

The most important reason he came to the Myriad Bones Forest this time was to find the Dragon Energy and White Bone Crystals.

Lu Yuan felt that it was not difficult for him to search for Dragon Energy.

However, finding the White Bone Crystals posed a bit of a challenge.

The so-called White Bone Crystals were the bone marrow left behind by powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage after their demise.

Over time, these bone marrows gradually transformed into special treasures that contained imprints of the Nascent Soul Stage experts.

In order to find the White Bone Crystals, Lu Yuan needed to find the place where Nascent Soul Stage experts had fallen.

This process heavily relied on luck.

Nevertheless, Lu Yuan believed that as long as he continued moving closer to the central area, he should eventually come across a place with White Bone Crystals.

With that in mind, Lu Yuan turned to Lian Caijun and Tang Hongzhi beside him and said, “Fellow Daoist Lian, Fellow Daoist Tang, I have some personal matters to attend to. 1’11 leave Shan Yao in your hands.”

Both of them nodded, indicating that Lu Yuan could go do his own thing.

After bidding farewell to them, Lu Yuan headed straight toward the center of the Myriad Bone Forest.

However, as he drew closer to the central area, Lu Yuan encountered numerous bone demons.

As these bone demons approached the central region, their strength grew increasingly formidable.

Among them, Lu Yuan even saw traces of other cultivators fighting.

However, for safety reasons, Lu Yuan had no intention of approaching those individuals. Instead, he circumvented them and continued to advance.

Although the central area was not small, there were plenty of cultivators who had entered the Myriad Bone Forest this time. It didn’t take long for Lu Yuan to encounter the first group of cultivators.

A group of demonic monks from the Huanxi Sect..
