Chapter 232 - 232: You Need to Give a Better Offer 1
Jing Ming could sense this mainly because Apotheosis Stage cultivators had gradually reached the level of being able to sense the luck of other cultivators.
The so-called luck was actually merit.
The power of merit seemed illusory, but it truly existed.
A person getting lucky once could be due to chance.
However, if they were lucky several times, that was not something that could be explained by chance, but by merit.
Generally speaking, if a Lower Realm cultivator could meet cultivators from the Upper Realm many times, their luck would definitely not be low.
After all, although there were many cultivators in the Upper Realm, not many could come to the Lower Realm.
Among those who could, there were even fewer who would establish a good relationship with cultivators from the Lower Realm.
Lu Yuan’s experience seemed ordinary, but one would realize the discrepancy if they carefully examined it.
How could this be the life experience of a normal Lower Realm cultivator?
Not to mention that this person’s first practitioner partner was a demoness who was related to the Upper Realm.
She was called a demoness not just because of her personality, but also in the literal sense as well.
Thinking of this, Jing Ming felt that Lu Yuan might not be as ordinary as he thought.
Perhaps this guy was hiding his strength and biding his time?
He might be a cultivator with extraordinary luck but was unwilling to go to the Upper Realm.
As he thought about it, Jing Ming suddenly had a bad feeling.
If such a person truly existed, there were usually only two possible scenarios.
The first was that the other party had a special cultivation method that could ensure that his cultivation would not fall behind even if he did not enter the Upper Realm.
The other possibility was that the other party was the Lord chosen by this world.
The so-called Lord was actually the Chosen One who accumulated the great luck of a small world within himself.
Usually, the Chosen One would only appear when a small world was about to advance.
For a small world, the appearance of a Lord was a good thing.
However, that was not necessarily the case for the Upper Realm.
This was because the Lord usually had astonishing cultivation talent, and their cultivation speed was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Once such a person reached a certain level of strength, most of them would not be willing to be manipulated by the Upper Realm.
At that time, the Upper Realm would gradually lose control over the small world.
In order to regain control of the Lower Realm, the Upper Realm could only start a war with the Lord of this world.
The battle usually resulted in the Lord’s forces being uprooted and the Lower Realm’s vitality being greatly damaged.
The Upper Realm would also suffer a lot of losses in the process.
Jing Ming didn’t want a Lord to appear in the world.
This was not a good thing for either the Upper Realm or the Lower Realm.
Thinking of this, Jing Ming, who had originally wanted to visit Lu Yuan when he was free, decided to do so right there and then.
He wanted to personally see who Lu Yuan was.
If the latter was really the Lord, it would actually be a good thing to find out about it now.
The talents of the Lords were basically the best.
If people with great talent were to be ranked, the Lords of the Lower Realm could probably be ranked third, similar to the heavenly prides of the Upper Realm.
Ranked above them were the geniuses and Lords of the Upper Realm.
Of course, this was just a crude ranking.
It only considered the average talent of a Lord, a person with great luck in the Lower Realm.
Some Lords of the Lower Realm could even be compared to the geniuses of the Upper Realm.
Jing Ming estimated that Lu Yuan had yet to reach the level of a Lord.
This was because other than having amazing luck, a Lord would often encounter various major events, allowing them to gather the power of this world.
The so-called Lord would be the leader of a place.
However, Lu Yuan showed no signs of being a Lord.
His experience was like a laid back person who only wanted to live a stable life.
In the school of Niu Family Village.
The teacher recited, “Confucius said, ‘Isn’t it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned?\'”
The children repeated loudly, “Confucius said, ‘Isn’t it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned?\'”
At the entrance of the Niu Family Village’s school, a man in a white robe stood there silently, looking at the fair-skinned scholar who was enlightening the children.
The man’s expression was very cold, and his temperament was no different from the sword cultivators of legend. It was obvious that he had no intention of entertaining strangers.
Strangely, the man stood at the door, but the people around him seemed to not see him.
Even the teacher, who was facing the door, did not seem to see this person.
The person who suddenly appeared in the school was Jing Ming.
The person he was observing was Lu Yuan, who was teaching the children.
At sunset, Lu Yuan smiled at the children and said, “Let’s end class here today.
You can go back now.”
When the children heard this, they immediately ran out happily.
They looked like a bunch of wild horses that had lost their reins.
After everyone left, Lu Yuan packed up his things and walked towards his courtyard in Niu Family Village.
Jing Ming followed Lu Yuan back to his courtyard.
The courtyard was very simple and there weren’t many things lying around.
The only conspicuous thing was a willow tree growing in the courtyard.
On the surface, this appeared to be a very ordinary farmhouse.
However, Jing Ming could tell the difference in the courtyard at a glance.
The first was the arrays in the courtyard.
With just a casual glance, Jing Ming could sense many arrays that were powerful enough to threaten Core Formation Stage cultivators.
Next was the willow tree in the courtyard.
For some reason, perhaps because it was constantly exposed to spiritual energy, it had gained intelligence and was developing into a spirit..
