Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 64 - 61: Red Smoke Realm [5000-word Mega - !]_2

There were no changes in his body, only his thoughts became clearer, more thorough. The cultivation bottlenecks and difficulties in alchemy and Artifact Refining that he couldn't solve before, now appeared trivial and were easily resolved with a little thought.

This sensation was truly marvelous for a cultivator.

It was like a student who couldn't solve challenging math problems in the past, but now, with just a few looks and minutes of contemplation, the solutions unfolded clearly.

As refreshing as gulping down ice water on a hot summer day, an ultimate relief.

Daoist Ancestor Level Cultivation Method was indeed extraordinary.

Besides the changes at the cognitive level, the three Cultivation Method Technique Characteristics were also elevated to the Second Layer.

Lu Qingfeng had tried, but between the Derivation Technique First Layer and Second Layer, there seemed no difference at the moment,

neither in Experience Value consumption nor the speed of Derivation.

But there must be differences between the First and Second Layer.

Perhaps it wasn't obvious, and Lu Qingfeng had yet to discover it.

As for the techniques of Governing All Laws and Karma Removal,

Lu Qingfeng, now in his Fourth Life, still hadn't figured them out.

Lu Qingfeng speculated—

Governing All Laws should allow him to cultivate various techniques simultaneously.

But just advancing his "Qing Yuan Sword Technique" to True Sect Level was arduous enough. Low-level cultivation techniques paled in comparison, and he hadn't tried cultivating a second technique, hence there was no confirmation.

He learned many other techniques, but didn't feel any enhancement from 'Governing All Laws'.

Karma Removal, as the name implied, should relate to the elusive Karma. Lu Qingfeng had just stepped on the path of cultivation, without any understanding of Karma. However, he guessed that this characteristic should help him eliminate the unpredictable Karma.

Karma entangled, calamity descended.

If this feature could remove Karma, its latent function might not be inferior to 'Derivation'.

Lu Qingfeng was not in a hurry.

He had cultivated the "Yellow Court Scripture" for three lifetimes, silently reciting it every night in the game. During the sixteen years of growth through Reincarnation, most of his time was spent on this Scripture.

Altogether, it had been over a hundred years.

Such a long time only advanced the "Yellow Court Scripture" from the First Layer to the Second Layer, imagining its Mysterious depth. The 'Derivation' technique might seem minor, but Lu Qingfeng's smooth progress in the game relied entirely on this ability!

Even with just this feature, the "Yellow Court Scripture" was still invaluable.

For the last two characteristics, Lu Qingfeng didn't forcefully seek answers.

When the time was right, it would become clear.

...

"Two months."

"I finally have some power for self-protection!"

Lu Qingfeng closed the attribute panel and stood up, stretching his arms.

With the system's reward of Experience Value, and the cultivation experience from his second and third lives, he surged forward triumphantly. In just two short months, he reached the Sixth Layer of the True Qi Realm. There were still five thousand Experience Value left, but since the accumulations of his past lives were used up, breaking through to the True Qi Realm Seventh Layer required Lu Qingfeng to overcome a minor bottleneck himself.

Even so, he had saved at least ten years of hard work!

"There is only me, a single player, in the Red Smoke Realm right now, with no Guild to join. My limited Root Bone offers no path to entering an Immortal Sect. Luckily, I am skilled in alchemy and Puppetry; a Loose Cultivator's life is not bad at all!"

With Lu Qingfeng's Root Bone, no Immortal Sect in the world would accept him.

Without any player's Guild available, only the path of a Loose Cultivator was open to him.

He did not resist it.

But the forest was too deep, Lu Qingfeng had been wandering for two months without seeing a trace of human habitation.

"Thankfully, there are no powerful spirits or demon beasts in this forest, otherwise my Fourth Life would have ended just as it began," Lu Qingfeng self-mockingly felt fortunate.

With his cultivation restored to its peak, Lu Qingfeng was even stronger in self-defense. Even without talismans or artifacts, relying solely on his techniques, he could easily traverse the True Qi Realm and kill Second Rank demon beasts at will.

He was an invincible presence in the Second Rank True Qi Realm.

On this day,

as evening approached,

Lu Qingfeng reached an unremarkable hill and couldn't help but stop.

"Here—"

The hill in front of him stretched on, its destination unknown and it was only about several dozen feet high, with a relatively gentle slope. Lu Qingfeng found himself halfway up the hill.

Looking forward, the passive effect of the Heavenly Eye Skill, 'Breaking Illusion', triggered. He immediately saw there was a General wearing tattered armor, emanating an evil aura ahead. On closer inspection, the General's appearance was ethereal, and he was floating three feet above the ground, without touching it.

"A lost spirit, a wandering ghost?"

Lu Qingfeng glanced over casually, pretending not to see, and continued walking forward.

He then saw the ghostly General wave his hand, and the sound of thunder resonated through the forest. The light flickered—such a spectacle could terrify ordinary townsfolk.

Lu Qingfeng seemed not to hear the thunder or see the changing light and kept walking nonchalantly.

Thunder roared!

The General, seemingly enraged, commanded with a sweep of his hands. As thunder echoed and light shifted, several large boulders began tumbling down the hillside.

This scene

was like the wrath of the heavens, the Mountain God's might!

Pity that it seemed frightening but was actually ineffective. For common ghosts and townsfolk, maybe it was convincing, but not for cultivators. Even those of the Fetal Breathing or True Qi Realm, who were rather average, wouldn't be scared.

A mere three or five falling boulders could be easily dodged.

As the boulders fell, Lu Qingfeng swiftly evaded them.

He looked around, not finding any trace of red-tailed mountain chickens.

Annoyed, Lu Qingfeng withdrew his gaze and focused on the ghostly General.

The General's figure became even more faint, wavering in the air, looking like it might dissipate at any moment. Previously floating three inches off the ground, now he was three feet up.

"So that's how it is."

Lu Qingfeng looked at the ghostly General and couldn't help but laugh.
