Chapter 32
Oh, F*ck! Did You Hear That? F*ck!
Liu Yuan had only learned a few cultivation techniques in the game. However, due to the balance of attributes, he could perform more operations. Most players would learn more when they were new.
Although it was reset later, there was no harm in trying out more things.
The officials probably wanted the players to experience more fun and possibilities when they were new, so they set it this way.
Now, it was benefiting Liu Yuan. He could use all the skills and techniques he had learned at the current stage, and he was familiar with the contents.
In later stages, his attributes will be reset anyway. Why not teach it to others? At least he was making a contribution.
Therefore, after Liu Yuan had finished examining Xue Yan’s constitution, he taught him a new cultivation method called ‘Lightning Manipulation Art’. The advantage was that it had a strong explosive power in the early stages, and it was fast and domineering to cultivate. However, the disadvantage was that it did not have long endurance, and he needed to change to a more powerful cultivation method in the later stages.
As for the later stages, he would think about it later.
The most important thing now was to make Xue Yan the variable, so that he could quickly gain strength.
“Remember, this technique is extremely powerful. After you master it, your meridians will contain the power of thunder and lightning. Your spiritual energy will be filled with electric snakes. You can kill someone with a single move, but at the same time, it will also cause great damage to your body. You can not use it rashly.”
Xue Yan did not fully understand.
Liu Yuan’s expression was serious and he said with certainty, “The Water Moon Dock only treated you as a tool and gave you the basic cultivation technique for outer sect odd jobs. Even if you practice those cultivation techniques for 70 or 80 years, you still won’t be able to achieve anything.”
However, my ‘Lightning Manipulation Art’ is a secret technique of the famous Lightning Manipulation Sect. Your constitution has rare water and lightning attributes, which are very suitable for this technique. If you can find a suitable lightning source, you will only need three days to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!”
Xue Yan’s heart was surging with emotions, he was so excited that he almost bowed to Liu Yuan. He said, “Many thanks, Senior! Thank you, Senior! I can’t repay Senior’s great kindness, so I can only... Well, when I’m successful in my studies, I’ll exterminate the evil and protect the Dao to repay Senior!”
What nonsense. Is this guy a character from a hot-blooded youth manga? Or a silly and sweet domestic TV drama?
Liu Yuan, who had already evolved into a scammer, was secretly speechless. As expected, Xue Yan was still an inexperienced teenager. Although he was only a few years younger than him, he always felt that he was too naive and easy to be deceived.
The demon sect probably chose Xue Yan because he was easy to control.
Liu Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction. “Go back and cultivate properly. Remember, you can’t let others find out. An ordinary man’s wealth can become his sin. You’re not strong enough, so you have to know how to conceal your strength and bide your time. Also, the most important point of cultivating this technique is...”
“Senior, I’ll definitely work hard in my cultivation!” Xue Yan clenched his fists, his face full of motivation.
Liu Yuan waved his hand and said with relief, “I’m very touched that you have such a heart. However, what you need most is to go to the Jiuyuan mountain range and try your luck. Remember to go southwest. These two days will be the opportunity for you to change your life.”
“But the Jiuyuan mountain range is full of danger...” Xue Yan was confused.
Liu Yuan’s face was like that of a quack. “I can’t say. The secrets of heaven can’t be revealed. Your fate is in your own hands. If you want to defy the heavens and change your fate, do as I say.”
Hearing this, Xue Yan muttered to himself, “Defying the heavens and changing fate, defying the heavens and changing fate... I understand, Senior!”
He turned around and left with determination.
Liu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, but he was actually very curious. He did not know what this kid knew.
However, there was a large lightning pool in the southwest of the Jiuyuan mountain range. Because of the Lightning Manipulation Art, Xue Yan’s body would start to attract lightning...
When the time comes, he would be struck by a wave of lightning, and with the use of the Lightning Manipulation Art, he will surely be able to reach Foundation Establishment.
This method was fast, but it was more painful.
Liu Yuan did not really want to try it.
However, there was no problem if someone else tried it.
When Ma Shu brought people to meet his superiors, Liu Yuan would first deal with a wave of spies from the demonic sect. Xue Yan would stab him in the back, wouldn’t that be great?
The only thing that Liu Yuan was worried about was the upper echelon of the demonic sect that was rumored to be coming.
“I’ll deal with it as they come. Do what can be done well. The rest will depend on Heaven’s will.”
Liu Yuan sighed. It was impossible for him to control the situation completely, but at least he could do his best to complete what he could.
And in fact, he thought of another person he could develop his career with...
Gu Chang, who was currently the only legitimate heir of Chiyu Villa. He was the illegitimate son of Gu Feidao’s eldest son.
As mentioned before, this nine-year-old nephew of Gu Siyin’s was not simple.
This did not mean that he was not simple now, but that he would not be simple in the future.
Shangyang only had one main storyline that was recognized by the players, even though it was very obscure, and that was Gu Chang’s story.
In the beginning, the players in the game did not realize the importance of the character Gu Chang.
He was like a background NPC that could be seen everywhere, playing a dispensable role. Players would occasionally receive missions related to him, but they were only some trivial side missions.
However, it was only later on that the players realized how terrifying the details of this character hidden in the dark were.
A long time after the newbie plot ended, Chiyu Villa was destroyed by a huge fire. The Gu family’s survivors moved to another place, and the Xuanwu Treasure was buried there, never to be seen again.
When Gu Chang reappeared, he was already a young rogue cultivator under the name of Gu Cang.
The Xuanwu Secret Treasure was also in his hands.
Liu Yuan scratched his head. “If it was not for the fact that I can’t farm this guy’s favorability, I would definitely max it out.”
There was no other reason. After all the twists and turns, Gu Cang was the biggest boss in the current version of Shangyang.
[The Great Dao is like a demon. I’m in a world of snow.]
“At this time, Gu Chang should have just come into contact with the crippled Eight-armed Heavenly Demon... Although it’s a little dangerous, it’s worth a try.”
The so-called Eight-armed Heavenly Demon was actually the eight-armed God ‘Luo Tian’ that the demon cult worshipped. However, he was not a God, but a demon from the Demon Realm.
It sounded dangerous, but Liu Yuan was not taking a risk this time.
He was indeed crippled. According to the players’ decryption, the Eight-armed Heavenly Demon here had basically lost its cultivation, so it tried to take over Gu Chang’s body, but an accident happened.
After Liu Yuan made up his mind, he set off for Yinping Alley, where Gu Chang was currently living.
Gu Feidao had not brought him back to Chiyu Villa yet, so this child was still living with his mother, who had been the one who had proposed to him.
Liu Yuan headed east from the official road on the outskirts of Chiyu Villa and arrived at the nearest town.
It was bustling, and the sound of hawkers shouting could be heard, which was very different from Xichang Town.
Liu Yuan was wandering on the street when he caught a glimpse of a woman in black in front of him. The light veil swayed and the tinkling of bells came.
His entire body froze.
Wait a minute, why, why does she look so familiar?
“…” Liu Yuan’s face was expressionless. When he saw the progress bar above the woman’s head, he felt like 10,000 alpacas were galloping across his heart.
Oh, f*ck! Did you hear that?! F*ck!
