Let you simulate life, but you change fate every time?!

Chapter 902: Chapter 479: Eighth Life: Are You Crazy? You Treat Poison Like Food?_2

Lu Yuan frowned slightly and said.

If the "Only I Cultivation Method" taught by the black-robed elder has certain merits,

then this method of entering the path by taking poison pills is terrifyingly insane and will eventually lead to madness and deviation.

Half an hour later.

The redness on the skin of the disciple in coarse clothes gradually faded, finally returning to normal.

He awoke from the illusion as if from a dream.

"Awake so soon?"

The coarse-clothed disciple looked slightly regretful, as if he hadn’t finished enjoying the wonderful dream and didn’t want it to end so quickly.

However, upon sensing his tremendous increase in power, he was overjoyed, wishing for another Illusion Spirit Mushroom.

"Although the Illusion Spirit Mushroom is powerful, if consumed repeatedly, it will cause dependency, and its effects will diminish."

The black-robed elder seemed to read the disciple’s mind and immediately warned him.

"However, the Illusion Spirit Pill doesn’t have this restriction. It uses the Illusion Spirit Mushroom as the main ingredient, along with many precious additives."

"The effect is several times that of the top-grade Illusion Spirit Mushroom, and its side effects are extremely minimal."

"If you purchase it from me, you’ll also enjoy generous discounts."

As he spoke, the black-robed elder took out a dragon-eye-sized elixir from his storage bag.

The elixir was entirely crimson, with a faint pattern engraved on its surface.

Once exposed, a rich pill fragrance spread through the air.

"What a terrifying toxicity."

Lu Yuan’s face changed slightly, and he immediately held his breath and sealed his senses, fearing the erosion of the pill fragrance.

But the other outer disciples, upon smelling the fragrance, couldn’t help but take a deep breath, displaying expressions of extreme enjoyment.

They breathed heavily, gasping like cattle, their eyes betraying a hint of delirium, wishing they could seize that crimson pill immediately and shove it into their mouths!

"This pill is incredibly potent, and only Spiritual Sea Realm disciples can withstand it."

"However, if a Body Refining Ninth Layer disciple consumes it, there is a miraculous effect of rapid realm breaking."

"In three months, the inner sect grand competition will be held. You don’t want to miss this opportunity, do you?"

The black-robed elder gave a meaningful glance at the well-dressed disciple.

The well-dressed disciple’s expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.

He looked up at the coarse-clothed disciple and sensed the Body Refining Eighth Layer aura emanating from him.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, clenching his fists, as if making some kind of resolution.

"Elder, I..."

However, just as the well-dressed disciple was about to speak, he was interrupted by a look from the black-robed elder.

"That’s enough, today’s teachings end here. If you need anything, you can find me at the Alchemy Hall."

After keeping everyone in suspense,

The black-robed elder put away the Illusion Spirit Pill and floated away.

As for the other outer disciples, they all scrambled to take deep breaths to grasp the remaining pill fragrance in the air.

But the next moment.

Those outer disciples who had been taking deep breaths suddenly stiffened, their faces turning green with anger, cursing aloud.

"Ugh!"

"Who the hell was so wicked to secretly let out a stinky fart?"

"And it smells like chicken?"

Smelling that nauseating stench, some powerful and wealthy outer disciples immediately brushed their sleeves and left.

But those from poor backgrounds didn’t want to waste this hard-earned opportunity, so they just pinched their noses, faces contorted, continuing to take deep breaths with pained but happy expressions.

Seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.

People can’t, or at least shouldn’t!

The people of this world are truly terrifyingly insane—going to any lengths over a wisp of pill fragrance!

Lu Yuan couldn’t bear to watch and immediately turned away, leaving the hall.

"There are still three months until the inner sect grand competition, which should be enough time for me to reach the Mid Spirit Sea Stage."

Lu Yuan walked within the Cyan Cloud Sect, pondering as he walked.

Unlike other outer disciples, he possessed the talent of "Refining Illusion into Truth," which allowed him to cultivate a martial technique to the Perfection Realm without deceiving himself into thinking otherwise.

Moreover, the cultivation techniques revised through "Refining Illusion into Truth" were perfect true inheritances, allowing a cultivator to advance leaps and bounds.

"And although this world’s Idealist Martial Dao is insane, it has its advantages."

"For example, these cultivators prize various hallucinogenic poisons, but they don’t pay much attention to spirit medicines that increase spiritual energy and blood."

"In that case, I can acquire a lot of cultivation resources at relatively low prices."

"However, I’ve already spent all my savings to break through to the Spiritual Sea Realm. I’ll have to find a way to earn some spirit stones."

Lu Yuan murmured to himself.

According to Cyan Cloud Sect rules,

all outer disciples can receive five Low Grade Spirit Stones from the sect for free every month.

But this small amount of spirit stones is merely a drop in the bucket compared to the vast amount of resources needed by a cultivator.

In addition to the monthly stipend, if outer disciples want to earn more spirit stones, the best way is to take sect missions and earn contribution points.

These sect missions vary greatly in difficulty, as do the rewards.

For instance, some simple tasks only reward half a Low Grade Spirit Stone.

But for highly dangerous tasks, completing one can earn hundreds of Low Grade Spirit Stones and various rewards!

"Dangerous tasks take too long; my priority should be to enhance my power first."

"I’ll start with some easy tasks; as long as I can earn enough resources to cultivate."

Lu Yuan weighed the pros and cons and quickly made a decision.

He acted immediately.

After leaving the Inheritance Hall, he didn’t return to his residence but went straight to the Task Hall.

Soon after,

a vast area of connected pavilions came into Lu Yuan’s view.

This place is much larger than the Inheritance Hall and is bustling with people, as many outer disciples often come here to take on tasks.

Lu Yuan even noticed over a dozen inner sect disciples clad in purple robes.

These disciples exuded powerful auras, formidable in strength, each possessing at least Late Spirit Sea Realm cultivation.

They stood out among the crowd, as conspicuous as cranes among chickens.

"Inner sect disciples hold exalted status, enjoying a large allocation of resources, receiving hundreds of Low Grade Spirit Stones for free each month, considered high-ranking within the Cyan Cloud Sect."

"If I were an inner sect disciple, a single word from me could make Steward Wang bow and apologize; why would I need to dirty my own hands?"

Gazing at those dignified inner sect disciples, Lu Yuan was filled with emotion.

He shook his head, dismissing the thoughts, and approached a bulletin board to browse the posted tasks.

"Simple task: Deliver a message to Mianshui City, reward half a spirit stone."

"Ordinary task: Collect ten Blood Red Flowers in the Five Poison Valley, reward five spirit stones (requires Late-Stage Body Refining Cultivation)."

"Dangerous task: Test medicine for the Alchemy Hall, reward fifty Low Grade Spirit Stones (requires Spiritual Sea Realm Cultivation)."

...

The bulletin board offers a wide array of tasks, with at least hundreds available.

Lu Yuan glanced over them and found that most task rewards were miserably low,

but when he looked at the long-term tasks posted at the top, his gaze sharpened, and his demeanor turned serious.

"Long-term task: Kill a Supreme Profound Sect Body Forging Realm disciple, reward fifty Low Grade Spirit Stones."

"Kill a Supreme Profound Sect Spiritual Sea Realm disciple, reward one thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

"Kill a Supreme Profound Sect Soul Palace Realm expert, reward one hundred thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones, and gain immediate promotion to Inner Sect Elder!"

"Supreme Profound Sect?"

Seeing these three words, Lu Yuan’s previously vague memories began to clarify.

The Great Li Dynasty spans a vast territory, covering the lands of the Four Seas and Nine Provinces.

Countless sects saturate the dynasty, with experts as numerous as clouds.

And the territory of the Supreme Profound Sect happens to border the Cyan Cloud Sect, making it the most powerful sect within a thousand miles, always seeking to annex the Cyan Cloud Sect.

As such, over the years.

These two sects have engaged in open strife and covert warfare, locked in fierce conflict, amassing countless vendettas.

With the Great Li Dynasty stoking the flames behind the scenes, disciples of both sects treat each encounter as a life-and-death struggle, reaching the point of mutual destruction.

And in this life, Lu Yuan’s parents were tragically killed by the disciples of the Supreme Profound Sect due to the sect’s conflicts.

The hatred for killing his parents is irreconcilable.

It could be said,

Lu Yuan was born with irreconcilable enmity toward the Supreme Profound Sect!
