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

Chapter 30

Although there were many Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation techniques on the second floor, not many were suitable for Lu Yuan.

After these few years of cultivation, Lu Yuan was no longer the beginner celestial cultivator he used to be.

He had his standards for choosing an advanced cultivation technique.

If Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators were the same as newbies in a game, the choice of an advanced skill was equivalent to the first job transition in the game.

The choice of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique was that important.

This was because the most unique characteristic of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique was that it would allow the cultivator to possess some special abilities according to the characteristics of the cultivation technique.

Take the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Qingyun Technique as an example.

Cultivating this technique would strengthen the cultivator’s wood-attribute spiritual root.

If each spiritual root was a bottle, then being in the Qi Cultivation Stage was equivalent to filling these bottles. To just fill the bottles with spiritual energy, it didn’t matter what cultivation technique one practiced. There was not much difference.

However, it was a different story when one reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

The higher a cultivator’s cultivation was, the greater the effect of the cultivation technique on a specific spiritual root.

For example, the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Qingyun Technique could allow the cultivator’s wood attribute spiritual root to have more spiritual energy capacity.

Most of the other spiritual root advancement cultivation techniques also had certain special effects.

Therefore, the choice of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique did not only depend on whether the cultivator was compatible with it but also on the direction of the cultivator’s future development.

This was also one of the reasons why most people only cultivated a single spiritual root. Not only was cultivating a single spiritual root the most efficient, but one’s direction in the future would also be clearer, and it was easier for one to find a suitable Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique.

In contrast, if one cultivated multiple spiritual roots, not only was it troublesome to cultivate, but it would also be more troublesome for one to choose one’s path and find a cultivation technique during the later stages.

Not to mention that cultivating multiple spiritual roots had a certain requirement for one’s spiritual root aptitude.

Did one really think that everyone’s spiritual roots were the same as Lu Yuan’s, where his attributes were evenly distributed among the five spiritual roots?

Moreover, even if they had the same spiritual roots as Lu Yuan, without a cheat, it was undoubtedly very difficult to develop multiple spiritual roots at the same time.

After all, cultivating an additional spiritual root meant that one had to invest more energy and resources.

Did one want to be a well-balanced expert without a cheat? Dream on!

If Lu Yuan did not have the cheat, he would not have had the confidence to cultivate five attributed spiritual roots at the same time.

Back to the main topic, Lu Yuan had currently already cultivated his five elements spiritual roots to perfection in the Qi Cultivation Stage, which was also the first tier of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Next, he only needed to choose a suitable Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique and he would be able to immediately condense a Foundation Establishment Stage spiritual root.

However, it was this step that made Lu Yuan feel slightly troubled.

There were simply too many choices in front of him.

As a large sect that had stood for thousands of years, the Qingyun Sect had countless divine abilities and cultivation techniques.

Some cultivation techniques and divine abilities were the only existing copy, the kind that couldn’t be found in the outside world.

However, even though there were many choices, Lu Yuan’s goal was still very clear.

He had already planned out the characteristics of the Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique he was going to choose.

His Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique must be able to strengthen his ability to protect his life!

In terms of life-saving ability, the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Qingyun Technique was okay, but it was still lacking.

After all, if he were to really meet a strong enemy, what use would the extra bit of spiritual energy be?

Could this extra bit of spiritual energy make him run faster or make his defense stronger?

If he didn’t have enough spiritual energy, he could just take pills. Why would he need the extra spiritual energy from the cultivation technique?

Therefore, to Lu Yuan, the additional spiritual energy from the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Qingyun Technique was useful, but not quite.

What he really wanted was a cultivation technique characteristic that could either allow him to escape faster or make his vitality stronger.

In short, he was looking for a cultivation technique that could strengthen his life-saving ability!

After a round of searching, Lu Yuan found three Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation techniques that suited him.

[Undying Spring Technique (Foundation Establishment chapter): After cultivation, it can greatly increase one’s vitality. After cultivation to the Nascent Soul Stage, one can achieve rebirth through a drop of one’s blood.]

[Cultivation Requirements: Foundation Establishment wood spiritual root ]

Rebirth from a drop of blood was the best way for cultivators to save their lives.

It was a pity that this characteristic could only be achieved after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage.

Moreover, the sect only had the Core Formation chapter of the Undying Spring. The crucial Nascent Soul chapter of the book was missing. Thus, Lu Yuan did not consider it for the time being and looked at the next technique.

[Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique (Foundation Establishment chapter): After cultivation, your spiritual energy will be imbued with the power of the tortoiseshell armor, greatly increasing the toughness of your spiritual energy and slightly increasing the strength of your physical body.]

[Cultivation Requirements: Foundation Establishment Stage water spiritual root and metal spiritual root.]

The characteristic of this cultivation technique was to strengthen one’s defense. Moreover, it was a rare cultivation technique that allowed one to cultivate two spiritual roots at the same time. It was undoubtedly very suitable for Lu Yuan’s requirements.

Then, he looked at the next cultivation technique.

[Breeze Mystical Scripture (Foundation Establishment chapter): Those with the wind spiritual root can directly cultivate this cultivation technique. Those without the wind spiritual root can form an acquired wind spiritual root during cultivation. After the acquired wing spiritual root reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, the cultivator’s speed will be greatly increased in all aspects.]

[Note: Acquired spiritual roots will consume a large amount of total spiritual root aptitude. Careful consideration is required.]

[Cultivation Requirements: Foundation Establishment Stage wind spiritual root.]

After looking at the Breeze Mystical Scripture (Foundation Establishment chapter), only then did Lu Yuan learn that spiritual roots could be classified as innate and acquired.

Even if one did not possess some innate spiritual roots, as long as one was willing to divide a part of one’s spiritual root aptitude, one could cultivate acquired spiritual roots of other attributes.

With just a glance, Lu Yuan wanted this cultivation technique.

He had to learn the Foundation Establishment chapter of the Breeze Mystical Scripture!

Although learning this cultivation technique was equivalent to having to cultivate the Foundation Establishment Stage wind spiritual root, it was not a problem for him as his spiritual roots had all already reached perfection.

As for the aptitudes of his other spiritual roots, Lu Yuan did not feel that it was a big deal that they would be reduced because of a new spiritual root and the even distribution of his spiritual root aptitude.

Don’t forget, he had previously exchanged for quite several marrow-cleansing pills.

In these four years, he had already finished all these marrow-cleansing pills.

Furthermore, he had used his luck talent to perfectly trigger the pill’s effect of raising his spiritual root aptitude.

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Spiritual Root Aptitude: 240 points]

With his current total spiritual root aptitude, he could definitely give 40 points to the wind spiritual root.

At that time, the speed of cultivation for his wind spiritual root would definitely not be slow.

At the thought of this, Lu Yuan made his decision.

“Senior brother, I’ve made my choice.”

“Oh? Let me see what you’ve chosen …”

When he saw that Lu Yuan had actually chosen the Breeze Mystical Scripture (Foundation Establishment chapter), the disciple of the Scripture Pavilion was stunned.

“Junior brother, are you sure you want to choose this cultivation technique? Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Not only is it difficult to cultivate acquired spiritual roots, but it will also take away your original spiritual root aptitude after cultivation. Junior brother, don’t lose the greater for the less.”

Lu Yuan looked at him and said seriously, “Senior brother, I’ve already considered everything you’ve said, but I still feel that this cultivation technique is very suitable for me.”

Seeing Lu Yuan’s firm attitude, the disciple of the Scripture Pavilion did not say anything else.

The other party had chosen his path, and he could only give a few suggestions at most.

“Alright, since you’ve made your choice, I’ll remove the restriction for you.”

“Hold on.”

“What’s wrong? Could it be that you are regretting your choice?”

“That’s not it. I just want to ask you something. I heard that when our sect’s disciples reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, apart from being able to choose a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation technique for free, they can also choose a Foundation Establishment divine ability for free. Is this true?”

“So that’s what you want to ask. Of course, it’s true. To be honest, even if you didn’t ask, I was prepared to tell you later. What’s the matter? Have you decided what divine ability you want to learn?”

Lu Yuan shook his head and pointed to the Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique (Foundation Establishment chapter) on the table and asked, “Senior brother, may I ask if I can exchange the chance for this cultivation technique?”

“Ah…” The Scripture Pavilion disciple was stunned at first, then he thought for a moment and said, “It should be possible, but junior brother, are you sure you want to exchange for two Foundation Establishment stage cultivation techniques?”

The disciple of the Scripture Pavilion had mixed feelings.

He had been guarding the Scripture Pavilion for many years, and this was the first time he had seen a disciple choose two cultivation techniques on the first day.

He had to admit that Lu Yuan was the most arrogant Foundation Establishment Stage disciple he had ever seen.

The other party had just reached the Foundation Establishment Stage and he already wanted to cultivate two cultivation techniques at the same time. Wasn’t he afraid of not having enough energy?

Wait a minute, he had chosen the Nine Guard Tortoiseshell Technique and the Breeze Mystical Scripture at the same time…

Of these two cultivation techniques, one had outstanding defensive power, while the other was excellent for escape.

F*ck, was he that afraid of death?!

Not only did he want to run fast, but he also wanted to have high defense. Was he a cultivator or not? Where was his pride in fighting against the heavens? If he was so afraid of death, why was he still cultivating?

Looking at the Scripture Pavilion disciple’s strange gaze, Lu Yuan could roughly guess his thoughts.

In response, the steady Lu Yuan laughed in disdain.

That’s right, he was afraid of death, was there a problem?

Don’t talk to him about competing with the heavens. It’s because there were too many celestial cultivators like this senior brother who went against the heavens that the heavens hated cultivators so much.

He was different from the others. He was the heavens’ good son, and only he understood the heavens’ good intentions.

Going against the heavens?

He was sorry, but he would follow the will of the heavens!

Besides, so what if he was afraid of death? Wouldn’t celestial cultivators die?

Did the other party know what it meant to die? Did he know what it meant to have one’s soul destroyed?

No matter how high one’s cultivation was, no matter how many tricks one had, it would all be naught once one died.

Only by living well would one have the chance to climb to the peak.

One could only cultivate properly if one was alive, understand?

If one died, one could only cultivate as a ghost!

Faced with the Scripture Pavilion disciple’s doubts, Lu Yuan said calmly, “Senior brother, since there are no problems, I’ve decided to exchange my opportunity to get a divine ability for this technique.”

Seeing Lu Yuan’s firm attitude, the Scripture Pavilion disciple kept quiet.

Fine, fine, fine, as long as the other party was happy. He was just an emotionless unsealing tool, anyway. What did it matter to him what others chose?

With this thought, the disciple’s Dao heart became much more stable.

The same rice can feed a hundred different people. Some people liked to be reckless, while some people liked to be cautious.

This junior brother in front of him was undoubtedly the type that liked to be cautious.

Moreover, he didn’t just like being cautious, he was prepared to be someone with strong defense and extreme escape abilities!

The disciple of the Scripture Pavilion could only sigh in his heart.

The world was so big. There were really all sorts of strange people!

Today was really an eye-opener.

Awesome! This junior brother was just too awesome!
