Lu Sheng wandered around the cave abode and flipped through the various books and evil techniques that Taoist Mu Yun had collected. There were also some minor techniques of the Righteous Path and the Devil Path. However, since they were not systematic, there were only bits and pieces of information. They could only be used as minor references.
Lu Sheng did not care about anything else. He valued all knowledge that could increase his experience and Martial Dao ideals. After all, his Deep Blue was based on the accumulated knowledge in his brain to carry out the next step of deduction.
There was still half a month before the Fated Child's arrival. He spent a day flipping through the books in the cave abode and roughly understood the energy system of this world.
This world actually used Spirit Qi as well. However, the Spirit Qi here was different from the Spiritual Power World. The Spirit Qi here was more extensive. It did not only refer to the Spirit Qi in the Spiritual Power World. It also included various types of pure energy that could be used by humans.
Lu Sheng carefully studied the most complete cultivation method in his possession, the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection.
This cultivation method was a pure Qi Cultivation treasure book. The highest was a grade-1 Inner Core. Although this cultivation method was the most precious cultivation method in the eyes of others, to Lu Sheng, there were many crude parts in it. He compared what he had learned with this treasure book. Although the rules of the world were different, he could still see some similarities in the most basic rules and patterns.
Coupled with Lu Sheng's Divine Lord-level spirit, he quickly found the flaws in this Triad Brilliant Nether Collection.
'This treasure book cultivates a poisonous water called Nether Water. This Nether Water is near the Netherworld. It's extremely cold, and it has a special poison that rots a person's life force. It's extremely difficult to collect it. Mu Yun was able to form his Inner Core back then because he was extremely lucky to obtain a treasure pearl that contained a few drops of Nether Water. That was how he succeeded in one go. 'Lu Sheng sat on the bed in the cave abode and pondered.
'Something like Nether Water might be mysterious and powerful to ordinary people, but to high-level cultivators, it's just a leftover and defective product from the Netherworld's Netherworld. It's far less precious than Heaven and Earth Treasures like the Netherworld River and the Netherworld Spring. Because of this, the quality of Nether Water isn't high to begin with, causing the might of a treasure record that uses this as its foundation to be ordinary, and the Inner Core that is formed is only first-grade … Since Nether Water isn't good, what should I look for as the foundation of the treasure record? "
It was rare for Lu Sheng to fall into deep thought.
…
Outside the cave.
A young girl in a white dress and a bear demon with a bear's head and human body were standing at the entrance of the cave. They were frowning as they waited for Cave Master Mu Yun's summons.
There were also several young boys and girls standing around to serve the Cave Master.
"What's going on? The Cave Master had been in seclusion for so long? In the past, he would summon us once every seven days … but recently, ever since that mysterious person left, the Cave Master has … "The young girl in her prime had a beautiful appearance, her appearance pure and innocent like the girl next door. She looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but the sharp short spear on her back glowed faintly, making people not dare to underestimate it.
The white bear demon shook his head as well. He was the Wood Martial Abode's first disciple, Iron Hammer. The young girl beside him was his second junior sister, Yun Huan. Both of them were Taoist Mu Yun's direct disciples for many years.
Although Taoist Mu Yun was a temperamental person, there was nothing he could complain about when it came to his disciples. He was also extremely protective of them. Otherwise, he would not have gained a foothold in the overseas cultivators' world in such a short time and obtained the support of so many cultivators and demons.
"Could something have happened?" Yun Huan asked worriedly.
In truth, she and Senior Brother Iron Hammer were in charge of teaching and cultivating the various disciples of the Wood Martial Abode. One of them was in charge of the human disciples, while the other was in charge of the demon disciples.
All of the disciples cultivated a Foundation Building skill formula that Taoist Mu Yun had obtained long ago. It was called the Flag-Shaped Poison Shadow Method. When this skill formula was cultivated to its peak, it could unleash a huge stretch of poison shadows in the shape of a flag. With a wave, it could kill the enemy. It was best for group attacks.
As for the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection, it was Taoist Mu Yun's trump card. Naturally, he would not reveal it easily. Even these two direct disciples did not receive it.
"That won't happen. Master is an Inner Core Enlightened Master. Accidents won't happen so easily. Let's wait a little longer. Perhaps he's just temporarily in a meditative state," the white bear spirit Iron Hammer said with a shake of his head.
The two of them stood for a while longer. Just when they were feeling extremely bored, Yun Huan asked about the white bear spirit.
"Eldest Senior Brother, are you here because of the massacre of the Rabbit Demons on the third island?"
"I heard that ships from the central plains are approaching this place recently. I've already ordered all the little demons to restrain themselves and stop absorbing human Spiritual Essence, but they were still killed by those hypocrites." Iron Hammer sighed helplessly. "We're not Devil Cultivators. We're only absorbing human Spiritual Essence. Normal people will recover on their own the next day. At most, they'll be a little listless. Are these Taoists not going to let us do that?"
"Haven't they always been like this?" Yun Huan heaved a long sigh.
Iron Hammer's expression dimmed. He looked at Yun Huan again. "Junior Sister, why are you here this time?"
"I've already bought the Cloud Water Pearls that Master asked me to collect. The price of the Mist Clam Clan is getting higher and higher, and the number of Cloud Water Pearls this time is decreasing. If this goes on, I'm afraid there won't be enough for us to cultivate. That's why I'm here to ask Master for advice. " The Cloud Water Pearls that Yun Huan mentioned were a resource that Taoist Mu Yun and the other disciples needed for their cultivation.
It was precisely because this island was close to the Mist Clam Clan that they could obtain the Cloud Water Pearls at the closest distance. Mu Yun had decided to establish his sect here.
However, the Mist Clam Clan seemed to have heard some rumors. They were forcefully raising the price and making things difficult for the Wood Martial Abode.
"Cloud Water Pearls, huh …" Iron Hammer felt helpless as well. If any other organization dared to do this, he would have smashed them with his hammer. However, the Mist Clam Clan's Clam King was also a Master of Alchemy. Even their master was not confident that he could defeat him, let alone them.
The two of them chatted for a while. Soon, a young girl walked out of the cave and called out to them softly.
"Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, please come in. The abode master has already come out to rest."
"Thank you, Little Junior Sister." The two of them hastily nodded and returned the greeting. Then, they followed the young girl into the abode. They walked for a few minutes in the slightly dark cave. Soon, they saw Lu Sheng standing calmly with his hands behind his back in the stone hall at the end of the cave.
"Disciple Iron Hammer (Cloud Maid) greets Master. May Master enjoy immortal blessings and longevity!"
Lu Sheng raised his hand and gestured for the two of them to rise.
"What's the matter? Iron Hammer, you can speak first." As he spoke, he sized up the two disciples' aptitudes. He could tell that although Taoist Mu Yun's cultivation base was not great, he had a good eye for talent. These two disciples had excellent aptitudes.
In other words, there were countless people with excellent aptitudes in this world. However, there were very few who could obtain the opportunity to start cultivating.
Among this group of cultivators, there were even fewer who had the opportunity to cultivate the Great Dao skill formulas. In the end, those who could cultivate diligently and persevere without dying were the cream of the crop.
Aptitudes were not important. What was important were skills, techniques, and resources. As a result, this world held masters in high regard.
Iron Hammer told Lu Sheng about his troubles.
Lu Sheng's expression did not change. He nodded. He knew that the Fated Child had arrived. According to the script, these people would have to go through some hardships. In the end, they would enter a small mountain village to rest. Coincidentally, the village was being harassed by a spiritual monster in the mountain. Everyone was in danger. To uphold justice, the Fated Child took the initiative and entered the mountain to slay the demons. In the end, he killed the spiritual monster and provoked a great demon. Then, he provoked the Wood Martial Abode and went up against him, the abode master.
This was the script given by the person from the Vital Energy Sect. However, the spiritual monster in the mountain village did not belong to the Wood Martial Abode. He had to cooperate with them.
Due to other reasons, the Fated Child urgently needed the Arcane Orb on Taoist Mu Yun's head. The Righteous Path always needed a dignified reason for their actions. Moreover, the Fated Child could be tempered.
Hence, under the arrangements of the masterminds behind the scenes, a script with a high margin of error appeared easily.
"Is the leader of the people who killed the demons surnamed Du?" Lu Sheng asked casually. The Fated Child in the script had the surname Du.
The White Bear Demon was slightly stunned, but he answered honestly, "Master, you're right. His surname is Du."
"As expected, he's here." Lu Sheng understood now. He looked at Yun Huan who was on the other side.
"What's going on over there?"
Yun Huan told Lu Sheng about the Cloud Water Pearl in detail.
"Cloud Water Pearl? The Mist Clam Clan? Wait for a while. I'll handle this myself later. Gather your disciples first. Don't clash with any forces. I have some troublesome matters to attend to. I can't leave for now, "Lu Sheng said drily.
Yun Huan and the White Bear Demon lowered their heads in acknowledgment. However, both of them felt that their master was more shrewd than before. His temperament was steadier, and he did not show his emotions on his face. He gave off a sense of stability and security.
After the two disciples left, Lu Sheng sat in a meditative position for a while. A hint of calculation flashed across his eyes.
Then, he recalled the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection that he had mastered.
'Forget it. I'll try to derive it first to see if I can improve further. However, this Nether Water … I'm too simple-minded. It'll limit the development of my cultivation base. However, if I change to another path rashly, I haven't accumulated enough knowledge of this world's system. '
Lu Sheng hesitated for a while. In the end, he decided to perfect the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection first. Then, he would use his cultivation base to gather enough treasures from all over the place to deepen his knowledge and seek a higher breakthrough.
'Half a month's time isn't long. I'll have to hurry.' Lu Sheng made up his mind. He immediately focused and calmed his Qi. The spirit in his body, or Divine Telekinesis, began to vibrate and tremble in a mysterious way. At the same time, it stimulated several important acupuncture points in his body that were in charge of Yin and Cold. This was the entry-level Qi Cultivation Method of the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection.
Under the catalysis of Lu Sheng's enormous spirit, it only took him a few minutes to gather and absorb some Yin and Cold Qi from the outside world. He converted it into Inner Qi and circulated it in his body.
'Deep Blue.' Lu Sheng summoned the modifier without hesitation.
Then, he swept his gaze across the frame on the interface. He instantly locked onto the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection's frame that had just appeared.
'This body has been cultivating this Mystic Skill for many years. The meridians and acupuncture points that need to be cleared have long been cleared. The parts that need to be fused and modified have also been dealt with. It'll be extremely easy for me to recover my cultivation base. However, I need to perfect this skill. I'll have to derive it step by step.' Since he was not sure what rank of martial power the Pill Path corresponded to in Great Yin, Lu Sheng was extremely careful when he used his Mental Energy.
'The Triad Brilliant Nether Collection is divided into nine stages of Qi Refinement, six stages of Foundation Building, and the early stage of Inner Core. I've just entered the Qi Refinement stage, so I can be considered to be at the first stage. 'Lu Sheng recalled the memories of Mu Yun's cultivation. Familiar feelings surged in his heart again. The main body in his heart also began to spit out the Core Qi that he had swallowed earlier bit by bit. Then, under the control of Lu Sheng's powerful spirit, it was broken down and converted into the most basic Pure Qi.
The Pure Qi that was converted from Core Qi instantly caused all the meridians in this body to swell and ache.
