Chapter 168: Enduring the Fake
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Niu Family Village, Lu Yuan’s courtyard.
Lu Yuan was sitting in the yard, playing with the Fire Spirit Pearl that he had just obtained.
He looked at the sparkling and translucent Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand, no one knew what he was thinking about.
It was just like what he had observed with his clone earlier.
The biggest use of this Fire Spirit Pearl was to allow a cultivator’s spiritual root to mutate and possess a special effect.
According to Lu Yuan’s understanding, there were indeed many people in this world who possessed special mutated spiritual roots.
Without a doubt, these people with mutated spiritual roots all showed extremely high talent in specific aspects.
For example, people with mutated fire spiritual roots were much faster than ordinary people when it comes to fire attribute cultivation techniques or divine ability.
It was as if someone was born with a special attribute similar to the Green Flame.
It was different from the acquired spiritual roots that can be acquired, a large portion of mutated spiritual roots were innate.
It was not that there were no methods to mutate one’s spiritual roots, but very few people would try it.
This was because spiritual roots were not divine ability. Whether one could learn it would not have much of an impact.
However, it was different for a mutated spiritual root.
If something went wrong with the spiritual root during this process, it would be fatal to cultivators.
The minimal impact would be reduced cultivation. If it was a serious impact, the spiritual root could be destroyed and one would lose the ability to cultivate.
If not for the existence of the system, Lu Yuan could not guarantee that his spiritual root mutation would definitely succeed.
Although he was fully confident that he could complete the mutation of his Fire spiritual root, Lu Yuan was now thinking more about whether such a mutation was a good thing for him.
After all, the reason why he cultivated so many spiritual roots was so that he could complete the Perfect Core Formation through the way of the heavens.
On the other hand, the fusion of spiritual roots was a very troublesome matter. Any variable could increase the difficulty of his core formation.
If he mutated his fire spiritual root, it would undoubtedly greatly increase the difficulty of his core formation.
It was already harder for him to reach Core Formation as compared to other people.
If the difficulty increased, he felt that even with the help of the golden core creation pill and the system, he might not be able to complete the Core Formation through the way of the heavens.
“Sigh, is there no other way to use this Fire Spirit Pearl?” Lu Yuan thought.
As he thought about it, the system’s voice suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan’s mind.
[Ding! Detected special divine ability, Green Flame Technique, has the conditions for advancement. Do you want to advance?]
[Advancement Requirement: Consume one Bi Fang Fire Spirit Pearl]
“Hmm? There was such a method?” Lu Yuan thought.
Seeing the system notification, Lu Yuan’s interest was piqued.
If he used the Fire Spirit Pearl for the advancement of his skills, it would indeed be a very good solution for him.
Not only would this not increase the difficulty of his core formation, but it would also effectively enrich his methods.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan made a decision almost instantly.
In the next second, the Fire Spirit Pearl in Lu Yuan’s hand began to transform into pure energy and entered Lu Yuan’s body.
During this process, the phantom of an ancient divine beast, Bi Fang, appeared behind Lu Yuan and slowly entered his body.
Lu Yuan did not feel much throughout the entire process.
He only felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, very relaxed.
[Ding! Skill advancement completed, new skill obtained… Bi Fang Green Flame]
[Bi Fang Green Flame: Fused with the special green flame of the ancient divine beast, Bi Fang. It has extremely strong vitality and can burn and assimilate the vitality of the other party.]
[Special Skill Effect, Bi Fang Power: Able to borrow the power of the ancient divine beast, Bi Fang, in a short period of time to complete partial mythification.]
Looking at the description of the skill, Bi Fang Green Flame, Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
This new skill, Bi Fang Green Flame, was equivalent to strengthening the effects of the original Green Flame Technique.
The biggest difference was that this skill also had a special effect, which was that it could temporarily borrow the power of the ancient divine beast, Bi Fang.
As he thought about it, Lu Yuan’s expression became strange.
This was because the effect of this skill was exactly the same as the Bi Fang that he had killed back then.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan took out Bi Fang’s storage bag.
Although there were not many useful things in this storage bag, but there were two things that made Lu Yuan very curious.
[Heavenly Devil Mask, Bi Fang]
[Quality: Mid-grade magic item]
[Effect: It can completely block the perception of cultivators below the nascent soul stage and some above the nascent soul stage. This mask can be worn even in the divine soul state.]
[Heavenly Devil Token]
[Quality: Mid-grade magic item]
[Effect: After the divine soul enters the token, it can be projected to a special location.]
Lu Yuan had also considered how to deal with these two things after obtaining them.
For Lu Yuan, who had a scarcity of magic items, it would be too much of a waste to casually throw two mid-grade magic items away.
However, the effects of these two magic items were obvious. They were refined for specific purposes.
To the current Lu Yuan, it was not very useful.
Moreover, the restrictions on these two magic items were very special.
Lu Yuan had tried it before and found himself unable to use the two things.
However, after he obtained the special divine ability of the Bi Fang Green
Flame, Lu Yuan suddenly had an interesting idea.
He first picked up the Heavenly Devil Mask beside him and then instilled the Bifang Green Flame into the mask.
In an instant, the originally ordinary mask immediately emitted a strange light.
At this moment, Lu Yuan felt as if the restriction within the mask had disappeared.
Lu Yuan picked up the mask but did not put it on immediately. Instead, he summoned his clone.
Although this thing didn’t seem dangerous, it might have some hidden dangers that he didn’t know about.
If he left it to his clone to experiment, he could immediately cut it off if he found something wrong.
At most, he would lose the divine soul of the clone.
After the clone took the mask, it flew ten kilometers away from Niu Family Village.
When Lu Yuan felt that it was about time, he let his clone wear the mask.
After the mask was put on, the aura of the clone became obscure.
If not for Lu Yuan’s astonishing divine soul grade, he might not have been able to detect the existence of the clone.
The so-called ability to sense was only to know that the clone had cultivation, but he could not determine where the clone’s cultivation level was.
After letting his clone test it a few more times and confirming that there was no problem with the mask, Lu Yuan set his gaze on the Heavenly Devil token.
If his guess was correct, this Heavenly Devil token was actually a tool that could contact with the Heavenly Devil Palace or other Heavenly Devils.
The reason why he could not use it previously was because of his identity. After all, he was not a member of the Heavenly Devil Palace.
However, now that he had successfully obtained the divine ability of the Bi Fang green flame, could he pass it off as the real thing?
