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

Chapter 47: The Method of Reaching Core Formation Through the Way of the Heavens

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

After unintentionally obtaining some crucial information from the demoness Meng Ruyan, Lu Yuan felt that he had roughly understood the situation of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Even though the Great Xia Kingdom’s imperial family was under the control of the Qingyun Sect, where there were humans, there would be strife.

Naturally, the Great Xia Kingdom wasn’t a monolithic whole.

The Great Xia Kingdom s Ye family was obviously used to restrain the existence of the Imperial clan.

A Pseudo Core Stage imperial advisor had obviously reached the level where he could ignore the ordinary Emperor.

There were even times when the imperial advisor’s words might be more useful than the Emperor’s.

The reason for this situation might be because of the Qingyun Sect’s tacit support.

…..

After all, Great Xia’s imperial family would then have to cling to the Qingyun Sect even more tightly.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to the Pseudo Core Stage imperial advisor.

Such a situation was clearly what the Qingyun Sect desired.

If the imperial family were to really forge the Great Xia Kingdom to be infallible, the Qingyun Sect would not be at ease either.

After all, a celestial cultivator’s time would ultimately be spent on cultivation. They didn’t have the mood to meddle in the affairs of the mortal world.

Such a balanced situation would undoubtedly save a lot of trouble.

However, the Qingyun Sect might not have expected that between these two forces, an external force was interfering as well.

What they did not know was that this external force could even reach into the Qingyun Sect.

They were really pushing their luck!

Previously, Lu Yuan did not have much information, so he could not determine Meng Ruyan’s identity.

However, when he found out that in addition to the righteous and devilish sects, there was another force called the Taohua Sect in the celestial cultivation world, as well as the Heaven, Earth, and Mortal Ranks, and as Meng Ruyan’s cultivation technique, he was 80% sure that Meng Ruyan was from the Taohua Sect.

After all, if the devilish sects could plant spies in the Qingyun Sect so easily, the Qingyun Sect would have been destroyed long ago.

Did one really think that the Qingyun Sect’s “background check” was just for show?

Without some methods and schemes, there was no way to hide from the Qingyun Sect’s “background check”.

Only a hidden force like the Taohua Sect could do such a thing without anyone knowing.

After all, no one would usually pay attention to a neutral force.

Although Lu Yuan didn’t know why the Taohua Sect was doing this, as a steady person, he felt that he should always think of the worst-case scenario.

Now that he knew that the Great Xia Kingdom might have some “potential danger”, he had to make some targeted preparations.

Otherwise, if he wasn’t careful, he might just die.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan started to contemplate what he should do to ensure that he wouldn’t encounter any danger during this trip to the Great Xia Kingdom’s capital.

To be honest, the best solution was to not go. But this plan could already be ruled out.

This was because if Lu Yuan wanted to change his master Han Yuanshan’s mind, he would need to tell the latter that he could actually reach the Core Formation stage.

However, in doing so, Lu Yuan would have to reveal some things.

For example, his spiritual root aptitude was almost reaching a thousand. Furthermore, he would have to explain how he had been able to increase his spiritual root aptitude from 150 points to nearly 1000 points in just a few years.

Lu Yuan did not doubt that once he said these things, let alone Han Yuanshan, even the Nascent Soul Stage patriarch of the Qingyun Sect, Qing Hong, would force him to spill on the method of improving one’s aptitude.

One must know that Lu Yuan had managed to raise his spiritual roots’ aptitude by five to six times in a short ten years.

Anyone would be tempted by such an exaggerated effect.

However, the reason why Lu Yuan was able to do this was thanks to his greatest reliance, the “skill system”.

The system was a unique and irreplaceable cheat.

Not to mention that Lu Yuan was unwilling to hand it over, even if he wanted to, he simply couldn’t!

As such, Lu Yuan had to hide well.

This wasn’t because he was delusional.

Instead, he put himself in the others’ shoes and thought about it.

If he knew that someone had the ability to increase their spiritual root aptitude by a whole sum of 600 to 700 points in a short ten years, what would he do?

He would definitely try his best to make the other party reveal the method!

It was all because Lu Yuan’s current cultivation was not high that not many noticed him.

Besides, even if he was discovered in the short term, he could still take the excuse that he had achieved Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens.

However, as his cultivation increased, the effect of his aptitude would become increasingly obvious.

He couldn’t guarantee that he would be able to keep hiding like he was now.

Even if he hadn’t been arranged to go down the mountain this time, at a certain point in the future, Lu Yuan would also think of ways to leave the mountain to develop for some time.

He would only come back when he was almost fully developed.

It was just that this time, his timing in going down the mountain was much earlier than he had expected.

However, Lu Yuan had also considered such a situation.

It could only be said that there were many benefits to having the backing of a large sect, but there were also disadvantages.

At the very least, in terms of freedom, the disciples of large sects were not as comfortable as the unaffiliated cultivators.

But in general, the benefits of relying on a large sect in the early stages far outweighed the disadvantages.

After confirming that he could not escape this time, Lu Yuan stopped thinking about whether he should leave the mountain.

Even though the Great Xia Kingdom’s capital was suspected to be a stronghold of spies in the mortal world, he and the demoness Meng Ruyan had a very close relationship.

Therefore, strictly speaking, he could be considered as half a member of the Taohua Sect.

Looking at the demoness Meng Ruyan’s actions.

Although she seemed evil, she didn’t seem to have done anything bad.

At the very least, Lu Yuan did not sense any aurae of resentment from the demoness Meng Ruyan.

Furthermore, the demoness Meng Ruyan’s luck was rising.

All these signs indicated that the Taohua Sect was most likely the kind of existence that was both good and evil.

As long as he kept a good distance from them, they wouldn’t find trouble with him.

When he thought of this, Lu Yuan had pretty much decided on the direction of his actions after he went to the Great Xia Kingdom.

“Steady”, author: Lu Yuan.

“Nothing concerns me, so just stay on the fence.

Clock in on time, and get off work on time.

The more you do, the more mistakes you’ll make. Don’t do anything and you can’t make any mistakes.

Others are good and I’m good. We won’t interfere with each other!

I’d rather do nothing than make a mistake!”

A poem written by the steady Lu Yuan.

After confirming the direction of his actions in the Great Xia Kingdom, Lu Yuan finally started to prepare to head over.

However, before he headed to the Great Xia Kingdom’s capital, he still had an important matter to do.

This matter was related to whether or not he could reach Core Formation through the way of the heavens.

Just like the Foundation Establishment Stage, the Core Formation Stage was also divided into the Core Formation through the way of humans, Core Formation through the way of the earth, and Core Formation through the way of the heavens.

However, unlike the Foundation Establishment Stage, the success rate of Core Formation through the way of the heavens was very difficult to be influenced by external factors.

The success rate and difficulty of core formation were completely dependent on the quality and number of one’s spiritual roots.

With every additional spiritual root that had achieved Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens, the probability of reaching Core Formation through the way of the heavens would increase by 10%.

But don’t think that just with more spiritual roots that had achieved Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens, it would be easier to reach Core Formation through the way of the heavens.

Rather, it was the opposite. With many spiritual roots that had achieved Foundation Establishment through the way of the heavens, it would indeed greatly increase the probability of reaching Core Formation through the way of the heavens.

…..

However, the difficulty of fusing these spiritual roots into a golden core would also be dozens of times more than normal core formation.

If the difficulty of core formation with a single ordinary spiritual root was “1”, then the difficulty level of core formation with six ordinary spiritual roots would be “32”.

In that sense, the difficulty of core formation with six spiritual roots in the way of the heavens would be “320”!

Spiritual roots in the way of the heavens themselves were extremely overbearing existence.

An attempt to merge them perfectly was akin to putting six Brutuses together and making them trust each other. Never mind if such a thing could be pulled off, just consider how many Caesars could six Brutuses kill.

However, the difficulty of a problem depended on who was facing it.

To others, reaching Core Formation through the way of the heavens was a difficult and clueless task. However, Lu Yuan had a clear solution.

This method was based on his Pill Refinement Technique.

The so-called core formation could actually be understood as pill refinement in the body.

Thus, Lu Yuan only needed to raise his Pill Refinement Technique to a certain level, and that would then affect his success rate in reaching Core Formation through the way of the heavens.

This was what he wanted to do before he went down the mountain!

After leaving Meng Ruyan’s residence, Lu Yuan quietly returned to the herb fields.

He looked at the precious medicinal herbs. Not only were his eyes green with envy, but drool was also flowing down from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Yuan wiped his drool as he apologized in his heart, “Slurp! Master, oh, master, I’m going down the mountain soon anyway, so I’ll use the herbs in your herb fields in advance… It shouldn’t be too much, right?”
