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

Chapter 39

Lu Yuan’s decision of wanting to use the herbs in the herb field was, of course, unknown to Han Yuanshan.

He would never have thought that there would be such a shameless person in this world. He had clearly only told his disciple to use the herbs for the spirit concentration pill, but to think the latter “filled in the gaps” and concluded that he could use all the herbs in the herb field. Lu Yuan really was something!

It could only be said that some people might look human but were actually just animals.

In any case, Lu Yuan felt that he was quite cunning and greedy now. He had only just become his master’s disciple and was already starting to secretly scam his master.

As the days went by, things would only get worse…

That being said, even though Lu Yuan was cunning and greedy, it was not to the extent of losing his mind.

If he really used up all the herbs in the herb field, the day he would be expelled wouldn’t be far.

Therefore, he had already thought it through. Even if he were to use the herbs, he would only use some that were not particularly precious.

This way, even if Han Yuanshan found fault with him, he could explain himself.

If it really didn’t work out, he would just admit his mistake when the time came.

If it still didn’t work, he would punish himself by proposing confinement at the back mountain!

It could be said that Lu Yuan hadn’t interacted much with Han Yuanshan, but he could tell that the latter was kind.

When the time came, he would just lower his attitude and admit his mistakes. He believed that nothing would happen in the end.

Lu Yuan felt that he had a good grasp of respecting his teachers. He knew his master Han Yuanshan’s bottom line and had a perfect grasp of it.

With this thought in mind, Lu Yuan began his life in the herb field.

In the morning, he would water the herbs. At noon, he would refine pills. In the afternoon, he would cultivate his divine abilities. At night, he would cultivate.

This kind of life was not only peaceful but also very fulfilling.

During this process, Lu Yuan unexpectedly activated an elementary skill.

[Elementary Nurturing Technique: After a long time of nurturing herbs, you have mastered a certain pattern.]

[Effect: Increase the survival rate of herbs to a certain extent.]

Don’t look down on this skill just because it was an elementary skill.

After Lu Yuan obtained this skill, he was keenly aware of how extraordinary it was.

What did pharmacists lack the most? Naturally, herbs!

On the surface, the Elementary Nurturing Technique’s effect was to increase the survival rate of herbs, but in reality, wasn’t this the equivalent of increasing the production of herbs?

Furthermore, one should not forget that elementary skills like this could be advanced in the system.

In fact, compared to learning those divine abilities that could not be advanced, Lu Yuan preferred such elementary skills.

This was because after these elementary skills were advanced, not only would he have more choices, but the advanced skills were often very fitting to his actual situation, almost as if they were tailor-made.

Furthermore, Lu Yuan did not need to spend too much effort to cultivate such elementary skills.

They were exclusive abilities with a low cost and high income, which was quite suitable for Lu Yuan’s steady celestial cultivation style.

Although life in the herb field was very comfortable, as a steady person, Lu Yuan still had a sense of urgency.

Everything seemed calm now, but Lu Yuan was already planning how to “escape”.

He had already learned a lot about the situation of the three devilish sects from Mu Qiqi.

Even though he did not know much, just what he currently knew was enough to make Lu Yuan feel that a storm was coming.

Since the three devilish sects dared to cause trouble in the territory of the five righteous sects, this meant that they had an 80% chance of defeating the five righteous sects.

It was really hard to say who would win or lose in the end.

As for the outcome of this war between good and evil, Lu Yuan did not really care.

He was just a small Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, if he was caught up in it, whether he could live to the end was unknown.

Besides, he wasn’t someone who would go through fire and water for the sect.

In his words, he was here to “work”. He would do as much as he got paid.

As for life-threatening jobs, he was sorry but his abilities were limited, so he refused to participate.

Under such circumstances, the best plan that Lu Yuan could think of was to naturally hide first and avoid the dangerous and intense battlefield when the battle broke out.

However, just hiding was obviously not enough.

If the Qingyun Sect was defeated, the enemies would definitely want to kill all of its members.

He, a member of the Qingyun Sect, would naturally not be able to stay out of it.

Therefore, it was best for him to make a few more preparations.

His first preparation was akin to a cunning rabbit having three burrows. He had to arrange more hiding places for himself to ensure that he would have a place to hide if an unexpected situation occurred.

His second plan was to just slip away. He would plan his escape route in advance to prevent the situation of being unable to escape immediately when he encountered danger.

Of course, if these two plans failed, Lu Yuan had a third plan.

The third plan was to join the enemy if the righteous sects couldn’t win!

Either way, Lu Yuan had already thought about it. Although he liked the human-based management style of the Qingyun Sect, if things really reached a stage where there was simply no hope, it was not as if he could not abandon the light and join the dark.

In any case, he had heard that among the three devilish sects, there were the Shixian Sect, the Xueyang Sect, and the Hehuan Sect.

Among them, although the Hehuan Sect was devilish, Lu Yuan felt that he could probably accept becoming a disciple of that sect.

Having more hiding places, escaping fast, and abandoning the light for the dark…

These were Lu Yuan’s plans for the future.

Of course, if possible, he didn’t want things to come to this.

After all, the days of slacking off while working at Qingyun Sect were really happy.

That being said, although his life in the Pharmacist Valley’s herb field was not bad, he still had a problem that he had not solved.

It was the problem of his luck value.

In all honesty, Lu Yuan currently felt that he really could not leave demoness Meng Ruyan… more specifically, her luck value.

Without demoness Meng Ruyan, where could he get so much luck value?

Yet, demoness Meng Ruyan’s expedition this time had an indefinite return date.

Left with no other choice, Lu Yuan could only suppress his “longing” for demoness Meng Ruyan and start to develop steadily.

What he did not know was that demoness Meng Ruyan, who had already left the mountain, was actually “missing” him too.

…

The territory of the Qingyun Sect, the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom.

The Great Xia Kingdom was a mortal world faction under the jurisdiction of the Qingyun Sect, and the kingdom basically had a dependent relationship with the Qingyun Sect.

The Great Xia Kingdom provided a large number of talented cultivators to the Qingyun Sect and ensured the stable lives of the people in the kingdom.

In turn, the Qingyun Sect was in charge of handling all sorts of extraordinary events in the Great Xia Kingdom and ensured that the citizens of the Great Xia Kingdom could lead a relatively stable life.

In fact, Qingyun Sect was not the only one who did this.

The five righteous sects and even the three devilish sects were all like this.

After all, even though cultivators had great power, they had no way of creating a group of disciples out of thin air.

Disciples had to be selected from the mortal world.

Therefore, the more prosperous the countries under their jurisdiction were and the more prosperous the population in the countries were, the more beneficial to the sects.

The entire cultivation world seemed to have reached a consensus, and that was to never attack mortals.

Because once they did that, it would be equivalent to digging at the roots of the sects.

On this point, even the devilish sects were very restrained.

Although many of their cultivation techniques required them to go to places where mortals were, other than the necessary cultivation, the devils would never allow their disciples to casually attack mortals.

If a devil were to do so and was discovered by their sect, they would be severely punished.

The principle of circular development was something that even the devilish sects understood.

Thus, the lives of the mortals living in the celestial cultivation world were not as dangerous as they thought.

As long as they knew their place and were not too unlucky to encounter any evil spirits, they would not encounter anything bizarre in their lives.

Even if they did, the Great Xia Kingdom’s Devil Slayers Division, which was formed by the disciples of the Qingyun Sect, would take action.

This was also the reason why so many disciples of the Qingyun Sect had to go down the mountain.

As celestial cultivators, they had the duty to protect mortals.

Late at night, on the outskirts of the Great Xia Kingdom’s capital.

“Celestial Ye, this is the place where the strange thing happened.”

“Got it. Leave this place to me. You guys can retreat.”

“Yes.”

When the Great Xia Kingdom’s soldier who was leading the way heard this, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief and retreated to a distance.

Demoness Meng Ruyan, under the alias Ye Tingyu, looked at the strange inn in the suburbs and frowned.

She felt an abundant corpse aura from this inn…
