In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

three days later.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath.

"Clap!"

Two beams of golden light shot out from the depths of his eyes, like lightning, leaving two long streaks in the void.

The aura within him was as vast and powerful as rivers and seas, several times stronger than before!
"Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and his mastery of alchemy was unmatched. The spirit-nourishing pills he refined were indeed extraordinary."

Lu Yuan nodded in approval.

"In addition, although the spiritual power contained in this low-grade spirit stone is not as strong as that of the Sun Fire Essence, its absorption efficiency is much faster."

Since the two gods descended to the mortal realm, the environment of the Great Wilderness has undergone drastic changes.

The essence of the sun's fire has thus become impure and cannot be absorbed by Qi cultivators.

Lu Yuan had no choice but to settle for second best and use the Five Elements method to transform the spiritual power contained in the spirit stone into the power of the sun.

"The power of the sun is extremely strong and yang; it often takes a large number of low-grade spirit stones to transform into a single wisp of true solar fire."

"At this rate, I'm afraid my ten thousand or so low-grade spirit stones won't be enough."

Lu Yuan said with a headache.

Now his spiritual embryo is complete, and his physical body is flawless.

Simply imprint the Dao traces of Heaven and Earth into one's physical body and bones to smoothly enter the Inscription Realm.

With the insights into the laws that Lu Yuan had accumulated through countless reincarnations, this step was completely effortless for him.

But the only problem that bothered him was the lack of resources!

Because when one enters the Inscription Realm, both the physical body and the spiritual embryo undergo a qualitative change.

This is a transformation and leap in the level of life, which requires a large amount of resources and precious medicines.

Insufficient energy will inevitably lead to a loss of potential and leave many hidden dangers!

“Spirit stones are secondary; the key is the precious medicine needed for the physical transformation.”

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

Those precious medicines often contain complete traces of the Dao of Heaven and Earth or the power of laws, which are of great benefit to Qi cultivators.

The more precious the medicine used during a breakthrough, the more solid the foundation will be, and the further one can go in the future.

Spirit stones are easy to obtain, but precious medicines are extremely difficult to find.

Although "God grants one's wishes" can turn misfortune into good fortune and make one's desires come true.

But finding a bargain once or twice is fine.

If Lu Yuan uses it frequently, it will easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

In addition, these are turbulent times, and many spies from the Great Court have quietly infiltrated the Great Wilderness to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of the various tribes.

If Lu Yuan is too flamboyant, he will inevitably be targeted by Zhenhuang City.

"It seems we'll have to find another way."

Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought of a place.

Small-scale operations are no fun; if we're going to do something, let's do something big!

Think of this.

Lu Yuan immediately set off and soon arrived at a market town.

This place is the largest market town in Dayu City and the most bustling place in the entire ancient city.

The market was bustling with people, as caravans from all over the country gathered here.

In terms of the quantity and abundance of goods, even Bafanglou cannot compare with this market.

The most bustling place in the entire market is undoubtedly the jade gambling area!

The Great Wilderness is barren of resources, but it has many ancient artifacts left over from ancient times.

These ancient artifacts, having endured countless years, have long been buried deep underground, forming stones.

They only had the chance to see the light of day again when they were accidentally unearthed.

Because of this.

Jade gambling is extremely popular in the Great Wilderness.

Some people will go to great lengths to dig up ancient stones from deep within ancient ruins and sell them to gambling stone shops.

These stones may just be ordinary rocks with nothing inside.

But it may also contain some ancient artifact. If someone is lucky enough to buy it, they could definitely defy fate and soar to great heights!
There was once a rogue cultivator at the Spirit Embryo Realm who, in his destitution, found a strange stone and hatched an ancient, exotic spirit egg from it.

If it were just an ordinary ferocious beast's spirit egg, that would be fine.

After all, the ancient alien species possessed extraordinary combat power, but they also required a large amount of resources to feed them.

That rogue cultivator couldn't even support himself, so where would he find the extra resources to feed an ancient alien species?
But he was incredibly lucky, and the ancient alien species he hatched was born.

It turned out to be a gold-hunting rat!

The Golden Rat has a special bloodline, and compared with other ancient exotic species, its combat power is almost negligible.

However, it is born with the ability to observe the stars and sense the whereabouts of all kinds of strange and wondrous things in the world.

That rogue cultivator rose to prominence rapidly thanks to this gold-hunting rat.

In just a few decades.

He went from a penniless cultivator in the Spirit Embryo Realm to a powerful Dharma Aspect Realm expert who was incredibly wealthy!

In the Great Wilderness, many Qi Refiners have had similar experiences.

Stimulated by these extraordinary events.

Many desperate cultivators often take a gamble, regarding gambling on stones as their last chance to turn their lives around!

When Lu Yuan stepped into the gambling stone shop.

The place was bustling with activity, packed with countless Qi cultivators.

Some people had bloodshot eyes and looked like madmen, staring intently at the stone in front of them.

Some people lose everything overnight and sit dejectedly at the entrance of the jade gambling den, questioning the meaning of life.

Lu Yuan shook his head slightly.

People generally believe that immortals are pure of heart and have few desires, and do not eat the food of mortals.

In fact.

That's just because the temptation wasn't strong enough.

If an opportunity for immortality were presented to them, those so-called immortals would probably beat the brains out of dogs.

These Qi cultivators in front of us are no different from ordinary people who have lost their temper.

"Young master, are you looking to purchase an ancient stone?"

As soon as Lu Yuan stepped into the gambling stone market, a member of the Youyu clan immediately came to greet him.

Looking at the tribal totem on the other person's clothes, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

The ancient double pupils could see through illusions and understand the origin of all things in the world.

Yu Qi's double pupils are a thousand times, ten thousand times more accurate than the most precise X-rays in the modern world.

With a single glance, he could clearly see what was inside each of the ancient stones.

Moreover, other members of the Yu clan, although not as abnormal as those with double pupils, were also famous for their pupil powers.

If there were truly valuable things inside these stones, why would it be the turn of outsiders?
However, there are always exceptions.

Some ancient stones have extraordinary origins, or are influenced by the traces of heaven and earth, so much so that even those with double pupils cannot see through them.

Stones like these are often referred to as "rare stones".

The surface of strange stones is often covered with traces of the universe, preventing any prying into them. Only by cutting them open can one know what is inside.

That's why.

These rare stones are extremely valuable, worth dozens of times more than ordinary ancient stones.

Even the cheapest rare stone can cost tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones!
Only clan prodigies or beings at the Divine Bridge Realm level can afford to play this game.

"The Yu clan certainly knows how to do business; they've actually used the ancient double pupils as a golden brand."

“A stone that even those with double pupils cannot see through will definitely see its value skyrocket,” Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.

Before the wondrous stone, all beings are equal.

Whether you are an ancient being with double pupils or a powerful being with a Dharma form, you can only rely on your own luck.

Lu Yuan possesses the ability to have his wishes fulfilled, so he doesn't need to worry about luck at all!

first day.

Lu Yuan was just browsing casually, learning about the rules and gameplay of jade gambling, and also trying to become a familiar face to the public.

the next day.

Lu Yuan tested his skills with a small investment and achieved great success.

With just a few hundred low-grade spirit stones, a small fragment of an ancient treasure was extracted from an ancient stone.

After being appraised by both the Youyu Clan and the Bafang Tower, this small fragment of an ancient treasure was sold for nine thousand low-grade spirit stones.

"Just as I thought, the Youyu clan won't go to extremes."

"Although they have amazing pupils and can see what's inside most ancient stones, they will still release a lot of valuable ancient stones for the sake of their reputation and brand."

"Moreover, the double pupils of ancient times were so precious, how could they possibly be used to appraise ordinary ancient stones?"

Lu Yuan pondered to himself.

In the following days, Lu Yuan made a series of purchases, buying a large number of ancient stones.

However, in order to keep a low profile, he rarely used the "Heaven's Will" ability, and usually just bought things randomly, relying solely on luck.

Although he often loses, he can usually recoup his losses quickly by going all in once.

Thus, Lu Yuan cultivated his skills while gambling on stones.

Half a month passed quickly.

During this period, the seemingly peaceful city of Dayu was also experiencing turbulent changes.

The Shennong clan, the Xuanyuan clan, the Gaoyang clan, the Fuxi clan, the Jintian clan, and the other five super tribes all sent their clansmen to Dayu City, as if they were discussing some important matter.

Even the Jiuli clan, who have always lived in seclusion and rarely contacted the outside world, drove bronze chariots and sped from afar, landing in Dayu City!

Not only Lu Yuan, but all the other Qi cultivators also felt a sense of impending doom.

Although Lu Yuan didn't know exactly what had happened, the gathering of the seven major clans was no small matter and could even affect the future of the entire Great Wilderness!
This also gave rise to a strong sense of urgency in him, making him eager to improve his own level!
"I can't wait any longer. I hope I can find a rare stone tonight!"

Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and immediately made a decision.

Over the past two weeks, he has repeatedly used the "Heaven grants man's wish" technique to strengthen his desire to "unearth a rare stone".

This cost him hundreds of Spirit Nourishing Pills, which slowed down his cultivation speed considerably.

He can feel it.

After being reinforced countless times, this thought has become incredibly strong, even capable of altering the trajectory of his destiny to some extent.

Stud is a kind of wisdom.

Whether we succeed or not depends on tonight's game!

That evening.

Lu Yuan burned incense, ate vegetarian food, bathed, and changed his clothes.

Although "God's will" has never disappointed him, he still needs to maintain a sense of ritual.

After doing all this, he quietly left the house.

However, when he stepped into the market, even with his usual composure, he felt somewhat uneasy and nervous.

No wonder those gamblers, even if they lose everything and their families are torn apart, can't get out of debt.

The feeling of going all in is so exciting, even Lu Yuan couldn't resist!

"Brother Lu Yuan, why are you arriving so late today?"

A burly middle-aged man laughed loudly.

This man, named Yu Hong, was the manager of this gambling stone shop. In the past two weeks, he had become quite familiar with Lu Yuan.

"I checked the Great Wilderness Calendar, and it says it's not advisable to go out before the appointed time, so I'm a little late."

Lu Yuan said in a serious tone.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

He was going all out for tonight's all-in bet.

Smelling the faint scent of incense emanating from him, Yu Hong secretly shook his head.

When Lu Yuan first arrived in Dayu City, how spirited and ambitious he was!
Even Yu Qi once said frankly that Lu Yuan's talent was no less than his own.

As a result, he is now addicted to gambling on stones and has become a charlatan.

However, since he was running a business, there was no reason for him to turn Lu Yuan away.

"Brother Lu Yuan, this way please. We just received a new batch of goods today, and you've come at just the right time."

Yu Hong led Lu Yuan to a stone table and introduced him to the place with great enthusiasm.

The table was covered with all sorts of oddly shaped stones, many of which were still covered in mud, clearly having just been dug out of ancient ruins.

"When I get rich, I will definitely treat Brother Hong to a drink another day."

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up as he tapped and examined each stone, eventually selecting five ancient stones.

But Yu Hong glanced at it and secretly shook his head.

The Yu clan possessed astonishing pupil power, and he was a Qi Refiner at the Inscription Realm, having spent decades in the gambling stone market.

With his keen eye, he could easily tell at a glance that the ancient stones Lu Yuan had picked out were all worthless.

as predicted.

When the waiter helped cut open these ancient stones, they were found to be empty, without even a trace of treasure.

Lu Yuan watched helplessly as his more than 50,000 low-grade spirit stones went down the drain. His heart sank into an abyss, and his face turned extremely ugly.

But then a nameless rage welled up inside him: "I refuse to believe it! Surely we can't even find a single ancient stone today?"

Ignoring Yu Hong's advice, Lu Yuan opened more than a dozen ancient stones.

Based on past probabilities, even with the worst luck, he should at least get one or two items.

However, tonight he was as if he were possessed; all the stones were empty, and he gained nothing!
"Brother Lu Yuan, you're out of luck tonight. Let's try again another day."

Yu Hong couldn't stand it anymore and kindly offered some advice.

But Lu Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, as if he were possessed, and he kept muttering to himself.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"My luck can't be this bad tonight!"

"I understand, things will turn around for the better."

"If I just play one last round, I'm sure I can win it back!"

Lu Yuan refused to accept his fate and opened several more ancient stones in one go.

But the result was the same as before: it was completely empty!
Lu Yuan stared blankly, as if he had suffered an unprecedented blow. He collapsed to the ground and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

In less than an hour, tens of thousands of spirit stones were lost.

If this were a Qi cultivator with a weak will, they would probably go insane on the spot.

Yu Hong sighed; he had seen far too many scenes like this before.

In this jade gambling den, almost every day people lose everything, even selling themselves into slavery, just to try one last time.

However, looking at Lu Yuan's youthful face, Yu Hong still felt a pang of pity.

"Brother Lu Yuan, what you lost in the east, you gained in the west."

"Your talent is no less than that of the young clan leader. If you dedicate yourself to cultivation, you might even become a king or ancestor in the future. Why waste your time on this?"

But Lu Yuan, with his head in his hands and his hair disheveled, couldn't hear a word of what he was saying.

After a while.

He slowly got up from the ground, his eyes bloodshot, and said through gritted teeth in a frenzied yet resolute tone.

"My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens! Take me to see these amazing stones!" (End of Chapter)
