i hide and farm in the world of cultivation to increase my proficiency

Chapter 1

In the valley for Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators in Qingyun Sect, Lu Yuan slowly woke up and smelled a mesmerizing fragrance in the air. It was intoxicating and made him dazed.

“Strange, when did my doghouse-like home become so fragrant? There isn’t a girl in my house either.”

Lu Yuan couldn’t be blamed for overthinking. As a single man, it was already good enough for him to clean his room once a week, let alone make his room smell nice.

When Lu Yuan completely woke up from his drowsiness and saw the surrounding environment, he was stunned on the spot.

What… what was going on?

What entered Lu Yuan’s sight was an antique room with an exquisite wooden bed and a copper mirror with patterns carved on it.

Combined with the tassels on the edge of the bed that looked like willow catkins, there was only one possibility, and that was that he was in an ancient room!

Hmm… And it was a woman’s room!

Sherlock · Lu Yuan · Holmes figured out part of the situation at first glance.

Just as Lu Yuan was about to observe his surroundings to see if there was any other useful information, an unfamiliar string of memory suddenly entered his mind.

When he finished absorbing these memories, Lu Yuan revealed a bitter smile.

After all this, it turned out that he had transmigrated!

The world he was in now was completely different from the Blue Planet he had lived in before. It was a legendary world of celestial cultivation.

There was no technology here, nor the internet that was full of netizens.

What they had was a cultivation civilization that had flourished to its peak!

Cultivators, the devilish way, demons …

This was a world where danger and opportunity coexisted.

The original owner of the body he was currently in was also called Lu Yuan, a Qi Cultivation Stage disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

According to the original owner’s memory, those in the Qi Cultivation Stage were the lowest level of disciples in the Qingyun Sect.

They were just slightly better than the servants without any cultivation.

The body’s original owner could be considered the most ungifted among the Qi Cultivation Stage disciples.

The celestial cultivation talents in this world were based on the talent of a single spiritual root.

This did not mean that one only had one spiritual root. Generally speaking, people who could cultivate had at least five spiritual roots of different elements.

For one’s talent to be based on a single spiritual root meant to check among one’s spiritual roots for a particularly outstanding one.

If the total of the five-element spiritual roots was taken as 100 points and distributed according to proportion, those with superior talent would have a single spiritual root that exceeded 70 points, while the remaining four spiritual roots would share the remaining 30 points.

Of course, some with extraordinary talents could have their overall spiritual root attributes exceed 100 points.

The original owner of Lu Yuan’s current body was a “genius” whose overall spiritual root attribute far exceeded that of ordinary people. His overall spiritual root attribute had reached an astonishing 150 points, which was 1.5 times that of an ordinary person.

Unfortunately, there was a problem with the allocation of his spiritual roots. That was because his spiritual root attributes were a balanced distribution!

In other words, each spiritual root had 30 points!

Such an attribute distribution of spiritual roots was even rarer than those with a single spiritual root that exceeded 90%, which were called heaven spiritual roots.

To put it nicely, Lu Yuan was well-balanced. All his attributes were balanced with no shortcomings. To put it bluntly… He was just mediocre, without any outstanding points!

The requirement to join the Qingyun Sect was to have a single spiritual root that had a talent of more than 30 points.

With his talent, he just happened to step on the threshold to enter.

Some of the geniuses in the sect had a single spiritual root that exceeded 90 points.

In other words, one day of cultivation for those people was equivalent to three days of cultivation for him.

This disadvantage would accompany him for life.

It was also because of the quality of his spiritual roots that even though the body’s original owner predecessor had cultivated for ten years under the support of a large sect, his cultivation was only at level 5 of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

He was still a long way to go before he could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, which was the requirement to become an official disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

The few geniuses who were in the same batch as Lu Yuan had already successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Most of the remaining disciples were at level 6 or 7 of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

Only Lu Yuan, who was at the bottom of the pack, was still at level 5 of the Qi Cultivation Stage.

For the Qi Cultivation Stage disciples, the Qingyun Sect would hold an assessment once every ten years, and there would be a total of three assessments.

If he failed to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage after three assessments, Lu Yuan could only leave.

In this world where demons and cultivators were everywhere, one could imagine the consequences of leaving alone.

It would already be a blessing if he died of old age. Worse come to worst, he would even be captured by some demon girl one day, consumed as food if the other party was hungry, and kept as a human furnace if the other party was not hungry.

Just thinking about it was miserable.

If Lu Yuan did not want to leave, he would have to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage within two assessment periods.

At the thought of this, Lu Yuan felt his head ache even more.

What was wrong with being well-balanced? How could they discriminate against the well-balanced?

Didn’t they know that being balanced was the way to go these days?

Just as Lu Yuan was thinking about his future, a cold voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Skill interface activated]

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Stage, Level 5]

[Spiritual Root Quality: 150]

[Lifespan: 20/100]

[Luck Talent: None]

[Skills: Item Manipulation (level 3), Swordsmanship (level 2), Fire Manipulation (level 5).]

[Luck: 50 points]

…

[Interface activated. You may choose a luck talent.]

Looking at the interface, Lu Yuan was stunned.

This was because the design of this interface was very similar to the “Tale of Immortal” celestial cultivation game he had played in his previous life!

Not only was the interface similar, but even the setting where one could choose a luck talent at the beginning was exactly the same!

However, since something as bizarre as transmigration could happen, it didn’t seem that strange to have a cheat.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan started to look at the luck talents that he could choose.

If he was right, he couldn’t change his luck talent after making his choice. It could be said that there was no medicine for regret.
