Great Luck

Chapter 5: Purple Qi from the East

Resting against a big tree to enjoy the shade, Zi Dong decided to establish the Demon Hunting Group, relying on the Cloud Heaven Sect. He made up his mind to report to the Sect Master. If Zhou Yunting agreed, it would be even more legitimate.

"This is a good idea." Zhou Yunting nodded calmly, then looked at Zi Dong, who was kneeling in front of him.

"However, you must quickly improve your cultivation. With only the Qi Refining Realm, it would be too much of a stretch for you to be the leader of the Demon Hunting Group."

Zi Dong fully agreed with Zhou Yunting's words. Only by becoming the leader could he gain more luck.

So, he would continue to bring mortal beauties to the sect, relying on this insignificant luck to quickly improve his cultivation.

Zi Dong brought back another beauty from Ai Shang and handed her over to the duty officer before immediately returning to the Cave Mansion, waiting for luck to come while cultivating.

The Qi Refining Realm had nine levels. By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and opening the first acupoint, one would reach the first level.

By opening twelve acupoints and connecting all the meridians, one would achieve the first level of perfection. Opening another acupoint would be the second level.

The first cultivation required deep meditation to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and guide it into the body through the practice.

Zi Dong had picked up a ready-made body at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm, so he could follow his memory to cultivate step by step.

In fact, according to the scientific explanation on Earth, cultivation was a leap from quantity to quality of energy.

The body structure of the people in the Heavenly Fate Continent was different from that of Earth. People with spiritual roots could store energy in their acupoints and open up meridians with the help of cultivation techniques.

The so-called spiritual roots were the twelve main meridians, which were hidden in the body before cultivation and their attributes could not be highlighted.

Innate Realm cultivators could stimulate their own Innate Qi, not only allowing them to have internal vision, but also enabling them to discover the spiritual roots of mortals through the traction of Qi.

Perhaps it was because of the strong soul of the transmigrator, Zi Dong could have internal vision and directly see the spiritual roots of mortals after taking over this body.

Internal vision was extremely effective for cultivation, and Zi Dong's ability to have internal vision was closely related to his rapid advancement to the seventh level.

Cultivation in the Qi Refining Realm was like a blind person touching an elephant. It relied entirely on the operation of cultivation techniques to impact each acupoint and meridian, so the speed was naturally slow.

Zi Dong had already opened 80 acupoints and, by opening four more and connecting all 84 acupoints, he would achieve the seventh level of perfection. Opening another acupoint would allow him to advance to the eighth level.

The Cloud Heaven Technique had a complete diagram of the human body, with clear and accurate markings of the meridians and acupoints. As long as there was enough True Qi, it could be done in one go.

For each acupoint opened in the Qi Refining Realm, the meridians connecting the previously opened acupoints had to be cleared.

Therefore, as cultivation progressed, Qi Refining cultivators needed more and more energy. They not only had to consume and store a large amount of energy, but also constantly refine and purify it.

Although the spiritual energy in the Cloud Heaven Sect was extremely abundant, relying solely on meditation, the cultivation speed was very slow. This required a large amount of luck to continuously support it.

Luck originated from heaven and earth and was more compatible with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth than any cultivation technique or cultivator's body.

Zi Dong was very certain that with a large amount of luck, he could break through a small realm in a few days and a major realm in a few months.

In less than ten years, he could go to the Central Continent to cultivate immortality and become an existence comparable to the Heavenly Dao within a hundred years.

Zi Dong sighed with a bitter smile. If he could buy luck with spirit stones, he would be able to obtain a lot of it. The ring of that Demon Race cultivator had a massive amount of spirit stones.

But it was better not to think about it. Even the elders of the Cloud Heaven Sect didn't dare to directly use luck for cultivation. He was already considered exceptional among ordinary people!

Zi Dong currently had nearly ten thousand points of luck and was prepared to use five thousand points for cultivation. The luck tree couldn't be without leaves.

Luck not only helped with cultivation, but also assisted the luck tree in growing rapidly, allowing him to obtain more and higher-grade luck.

It can nourish the soul and body of cultivators, and even ordinary people, if they have constant luck, will be immune to all poisons and diseases.

Not only will their bodies be healthy and live to a hundred, but everything will go smoothly for them, with abundant wealth. They can even win five million with just a random lottery ticket.

The benefits for cultivators are even greater. Firstly, it enhances their aptitude, allowing the main meridians to withstand the impact of more spiritual root attributes.

With the continuous nourishment of luck, even pseudo-spiritual roots can become Heavenly Spirit Roots, and even more attributes can be stimulated.

The spiritual root of Zi Dong's body is very special, not belonging to the five elements or wind and thunder. The main meridians emit a faint purple aura.

It is the auspicious aura of an emperor, the radiance emitted by a rare treasure, absolutely noble!

The elder who chose this body is also unsure of what kind of spiritual root it is, but it feels good, so they brought it back to the sect.

Zi Dong doesn't feel anything about the purple aura because he can't invoke it. The purple aura is as arrogant as an emperor and completely ignores him.

With 100 points of luck received, Zi Dong immediately begins cultivation, disregarding the arrival of the purple aura for now and focusing on improving his cultivation.

Condensing a divine consciousness hand, he plucks 100 pure white leaves from the luck tree and integrates them into the True Qi in his meridians, immediately activating the Cloud Heaven Technique.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges forth like countless bees seeing nectar, quickly filling all the meridians in his body.

Zi Dong quickly activates the Cloud Heaven Technique, and all the True Qi in his meridians rushes towards the Zhanmen acupoint below his left rib.

"Pop!" With a soft sound in his divine consciousness, his whole body experiences a tearing pain, and Zi Dong immediately starts sweating profusely.

The acupoint is surrounded by capillaries, and the nerves are extremely sensitive. The pain from stimulating the acupoint is more intense than pulling a tooth, as if countless needles are piercing his heart.

However, Zi Dong has already opened more than fifty acupoints and has long adapted to this pain, although his body still reacts.

Next is to connect the Zhanmen acupoint with the other 80 acupoints that have been opened. The pain is much less than stimulating the acupoints.

As long as the True Qi between the two acupoints remains abundant, the meridians between them will soon be connected.

This is like two reservoirs. As long as they are filled with water and constantly impacted, a riverbed will be opened between them.

With five thousand points of luck, Zi Dong breaks through to the eighth level of Qi Refining, opening 90 acupoints, leaving 18 acupoints.

The speed of cultivation slows down again, and Zi Dong has to end his meditation. He needs to go get some more luck. He can no longer adapt to this slow cultivation method.

Glancing at the hourglass chronometer, it is almost the hour of Chen. Zi Dong quickly gets up and walks towards the outside of the Cave Mansion. He still needs to steal luck.

The hourglass is a pair of pale blue transparent glass bottles, similar to those on Earth, but connected to a twelve-hour dial.

Inside is not air, but the True Qi of cultivators. Once the sand runs out, all the True Qi will flow to the top and automatically flip, moving the pointer half an hour.

Because the total amount of True Qi is heavier than the sand, this is a masterpiece of a master refiner in the Cloud Heaven Sect and has earned the sect a lot of spirit stones.

This kind of clock, which is an important daily item on Earth, is a luxury item on the Heavenly Fate Continent.

Zi Dong's mind is filled with luck and the Demon Hunting Group. He casually opens the door and walks out of the Cave Mansion, suddenly stunned by the dazzling morning light.

A woman in a red dress, even more dazzling than the morning light, is sitting cross-legged on a large piece of bluestone outside the Cave Mansion.

It is none other than Senior Sister Feng Qingwu of the Cloud Heaven Sect!
