Simultaneous travel: I am a talented person in all the worlds

Chapter 502 The Seeker System and the Cultivator System

"Senior sister, walk slowly."

Watching his second senior sister's graceful figure disappear into the swirling clouds, the humble and polite expression on the mortal Mo Yu's face slowly faded.

He turned around, seemingly strolling casually, looking around at the mansion he had created, but in reality, he inadvertently took out a palm-sized compass from his storage bag.

This is a detection artifact that can search within a radius of one thousand meters to see if there are other cultivators.

Because its detection mechanism does not target spiritual energy fluctuations, but directly affects the cultivator's primordial spirit, it cannot be shielded by those below the Nascent Soul stage, and cannot be detected by those below the Infant stage.

In this Yellow Maple Valley, aside from the possibility that Elder Linghu might use some secret method to evade the detection of this magical artifact, there are other possibilities.

Even his nominal master, Hong Fu, couldn't detect the treasure's detection in front of him.

The only drawback is that its range is too small, a mere kilometer. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it is only a distance that can be reached in an instant. It can only prevent being followed and monitored, but it cannot serve as a warning.

The mortal Mo Yu activated his magical artifact, and an invisible wave spread out from him.

The compass needle spun smoothly around the circle, and the few distant points of light that finally appeared all matched the location of the cave that Second Senior Sister had mentioned earlier.

"call……"

After confirming that no one was watching him, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"It seems that Hong Fu's decision to take me as her disciple was indeed without malice. At least in the short term, she doesn't intend to seize my body, possess me, or create some kind of external avatar..."

The cultivation world is far too treacherous; there are no truly righteous gentlemen in the real world.

Beneath the veneer of otherworldly elegance lies a naked exchange of interests and the survival of the fittest, which is why readers jokingly call it "gangster cultivation"—and there's a reason for that.

The plot and character settings of the original work can only serve as a macro-level strategic reference. If you believe them word for word, you might not even know how you died.

After all, people have many facets.

The same person, when faced with the same situation and different people, may make completely opposite choices.

Take possession as an example. In the original work, apart from Mo Juren, who was driven to the brink of despair, probably no one would want to possess Han Li, who has mixed spiritual roots. They could easily find a rogue cultivator outside whose physical aptitude would be no worse than his.

But if it were someone with a mutated Yang spiritual root, it would be a different story...

As for possession, although his cultivation level is still a bit lacking.

This body, brimming with yang energy, is a deadly temptation for those cultivators who practice yin and evil techniques.

Whether it's capturing oneself to be refined into a corpse puppet, used as food, or used to replenish yin with yang energy... or even killing one directly and using this pure flesh and blood to refine weapons or pills, it would be an excellent material.

Mo Yu, a mortal, shook his head, suppressing these distracting thoughts, and turned to walk into the mansion.

He then took out a complete set of array flags from his storage bag.

As he flicked out a series of spells, dozens of small flags transformed into streams of light, disappearing into every corner of the mansion and setting up a set of isolation barriers.

In this way, with the compass artifact in his hand, at least within this mansion, he no longer had to worry about anyone secretly watching him.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle..."

After finishing all this, the mortal Mo Yu plopped down on the grand chair that he had just conjured with wood-based magic, letting out a lazy sigh.

"If Old Devil Han were here, I wouldn't need to worry about this. He could just lie down somewhere and arrange all the defenses perfectly on his own. The final product would be much more reliable than what I could come up with at the last minute."

It had only been a few hours since they parted, but he inexplicably missed his all-powerful junior brother Han again.

After slumping in the chair for a moment, the mortal Mo Yu forced himself to stay awake and went into the bedroom.

He first took out a puppet body that was identical to himself, threw it on the bed, and assumed a cross-legged meditation posture.

This puppet has a miniature spirit-gathering array embedded in it, which can simulate the process of a cultivator absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth during cultivation, and can also infuse the absorbed spiritual energy into the depleted spirit stones.

If it weren't for the exorbitant cost and low conversion rate, plus the fact that the spiritual energy in this world is finite, he could earn spirit stones effortlessly just by relying on this.

Then, he took out a house model, which looked like a decorative piece, from his storage bag and casually placed it on the shelf in the bedroom.

The next moment, with a thought, he was sucked into the faint light emitted by the house model and disappeared.

Such spatial artifacts capable of capturing living beings are quite rare in this world and are unlikely to be discovered.

Who would have thought that in this mansion shrouded in array, behind a lifelike cultivation avatar, the real Mo Yu was actually hiding inside an inconspicuous ornament?
Moreover, he was only a minor cultivator at the Qi Refining stage.

After this elaborate defensive setup, the mortal Mo Yu finally felt a long-lost sense of security.

He sat cross-legged on a futon in a quiet room inside the spatial magic treasure, and took out two mid-grade wood-attribute spirit stones, holding them in his palm.

Close your eyes and concentrate.

In an instant, the primordial spirit was spread across one hundred and three acupoints, forming a profound human body star map.

As the cultivation technique was activated, the wood elemental power within the spirit stone in his hand was continuously drawn out, transforming into two emerald streams that flowed into his body.

However, this spiritual energy did not enter the dantian, but was instead greedily devoured by the primordial spirit's acupoints!
Among them, forty-two acupoints have already emitted bright light, and they are connected by delicate meridians to form a microcosmic circulation, symbolizing that he has become a beginner-level seeker of the Dharma!
After absorbing a certain amount of wood elemental power, the mortal Mo Yu changed his technique, releasing the yang energy stored in his body and using the wood elemental power as fuel to make the yang fire in his body burn even more fiercely. The acupoints that were lit up were like small suns.

This is a martial arts technique tailored for him by a group of martial arts masters based on his own inherent abilities, and it is called the "Chongyang Technique".

He can combine the magic points from the seeker system with the yang spiritual root from the cultivator system, two energy systems, and the magic power he ultimately cultivates will not conflict with them.

This lays the foundation for the fusion of the two during the later Nascent Soul stage, reserving an interface for future integration.

Even the mortal Mo Yu himself hadn't thought of these things, but the powerful figures among the heroes had already thought of them for him in advance.

He really made me cry to death.

Of course, this is not without its costs.

As a guinea pig for the cultivation method, he also had to report his cultivation progress and insights in the group at all times.

His diligence in cultivation was largely due to the encouragement and support he received from the group member Mo Yu.

Otherwise, given Mo Yu's mortal nature, he would have already given up and lived a half-hearted, half-hearted cultivation life.
After all, cultivation is something that really goes against human nature.

It is precisely because we are imperfect that we need to cultivate ourselves; it is precisely because we lack certain qualities that we need to refine ourselves!
Painful and tedious!

The mortal Mo Yu guided the magical power within the acupoints, allowing it to flow continuously through the meridians, enduring the soreness, numbness, and swelling pain as he gradually widened them.

The cultivation of a seeker of the Dharma is essentially a process of continuously "lighting up" one's own acupoints and "connecting" them with the meridians, and then creating one's own "Dharma" based on the "Dao" one has come to understand.

Once the sixty-four acupoints are lit up, forming a more complete cycle, he will be able to obtain the "Minor Supernatural Power" degree!
The cultivation of immortals is much simpler: they continuously absorb spiritual energy into their bodies, sort out the required x-attribute spiritual power, and quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

When the first wisp of spiritual energy is generated in the dantian, one has entered the Qi Refining stage.

As spiritual energy increases and is purified, it transforms into a liquid state, which is called Foundation Building.

When the golden liquid condenses into elixir, it is called the formation of the elixir.

Only when you reach this stage can you be considered to have fully mastered the art of refining essence into qi and entered the stage of refining qi into spirit.

Therefore, when a cultivator reaches the Core Formation stage, they can truly be considered a high-level cultivator in the cultivation world.

With his mortal Mo Yu's Yang spiritual root and the cultivation techniques given to him by the powerful figures, even without the aid of Foundation Establishment Pills, he already had a 70-80% chance of forcibly breaking through the barrier, liquefying his spiritual energy, and entering the Foundation Establishment realm. The reason he was still stuck at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining was not because he couldn't, but because he chose not to.

He temporarily abandoned his breakthrough in the realm of immortal cultivators and devoted all his recent time and resources to the cultivation of the "Seeker of the Law" system.

The reason is simple, just one word—speed!

Although the system of seeking the Dharma has little effect on increasing lifespan, even Jiang Mingzi, who was unparalleled in history, only lived for two or three hundred years.

In contrast, he achieved the Great Divine Power degree in just forty years, and his combat strength was comparable to that of a Void Refinement cultivator!

The mortal Mo Yu opened up forty-two acupoints and became a beginner-level seeker of the Dharma in just one and a half hours!

In terms of rank and combat power, he is now no weaker than any cultivator who has just entered the Foundation Establishment stage!
Even worse!

Because of the existence of the seeker's "Dharmakaya," he can both remotely unleash various mysterious supernatural powers like a Dharma practitioner and engage in close-quarters combat like a physical practitioner, shattering magical artifacts with his fists!
If he were to cultivate immortality step by step, he wouldn't know how long it would take him to break through to the Core Formation Realm.

But he clearly remembered that in the original story, Han Laomo spent a full sixty years just to form his core in the Chaotic Star Sea, even without a shortage of resources!

This doesn't even include the time he spent cultivating from the early stage of Foundation Establishment to the peak of Foundation Establishment.

Mo Yu is confident that she can obtain the equivalent "Minor Supernatural Power" degree within five years!

It's a very simple multiple-choice question.

Is it better to spend five years gaining combat power comparable to a Core Formation cultivator in advance, ensuring one's absolute safety, and then leisurely build up one's foundation and form one's core, using "dimensional reduction attacks" all the way, and strolling along the path of cultivation?

Or should I choose to directly establish my foundation and then spend hundreds of years cultivating diligently, while praying that I will not be involved in any battles during these hundred years, and that I will not be crushed by some passing high-level cultivator like an ant?

There's absolutely no need to hesitate.

Anyone with a sound mind would choose the former!
First cultivate the Dharma to gain power; then turn to the path of immortality to seek longevity!
The reason he has been reluctant to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage is that he liquefies his spiritual energy.

On the one hand, with great power comes great responsibility. The enemies faced by those in the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage are different. Ideally, he should be able to ensure that the Seekers of the Law system remains at a higher level.

Another reason is for his own "long-term meal ticket" three years later, which is related to Han Li's future path - the Blood Trial!
"The restriction of the Crimson Trial is based on 'cultivation level'. According to the analysis of the experts, as long as the spiritual power in my body has not completed the crucial step of 'qi transformation into liquid', then in the judgment of the restriction, I will still be a 'Qi Refining' cultivator and should be able to pass smoothly."

Mo Yu, a mortal, casually tossed away the two empty mid-grade spirit stones in his hand, recalling his earlier question.

Send him, a Foundation Establishment stage fighter, to fight a Qi Refining stage dungeon...

He's practically a whale in a pay-to-win online game, bullying free-to-play players and running rampant!

Who doesn't enjoy the thrill of crushing noobs?
Well, of course, that was just a side effect.

The primary purpose of this trip is to protect Han Li.

To prevent him from being harmed by his own little butterfly flapping its wings and causing some accident during the trial, resulting in his unfortunate demise.

Then his losses would be enormous!

It's hard to find someone with such potential for future success in this world.

As for why it's necessary to go to the Scarlet Trial.

There was nothing that could be done; Han Laomo's talent was so extraordinary that even a dog would shake its head in disbelief. In the original story, he had to consume eight Foundation Establishment Pills before he could barely succeed in establishing his foundation.

This staggering number would be difficult even for Mo Yu to gather for him through normal channels outside the industry!
Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Pill involves a great deal of risk, and considering the unknown risks that may arise in the end, it would be better to go to the Crimson Forbidden Land.

"Junior Brother Han, I've gone to great lengths for you."

The mortal Mo Yu let out a long sigh filled with "responsibility" and "exhaustion," then took out two more wood-attribute spirit stones and continued to cultivate with his eyes closed.

The cultivation of "Dharma" is different from the absorption of spiritual energy by immortal cultivators, and cannot be accelerated simply by taking drugs.

It is more about the understanding of one's own great path, and the weaving and perfection of one's own "law".

Although it takes much less time than the cultivation system, it still requires cultivators to invest a lot of time and effort to refine it little by little.

However, the thought of the exhilarating scene of slaughtering everyone in the Blood Forbidden Land three years later filled Mo Yu with renewed motivation.

It's decided that, to avoid any accidents and to prevent the old men from the major sects from acting recklessly, they will attack him outside the barrier.

He aims to advance to the Lesser Supernatural degree within three years!
"Jie Jie Jie!"

Just imagining that scene brought a burst of kind laughter to the quiet room.

……

Han Li, whom Mo Yu had been longing for, also completed all the procedures at this moment and officially became an initiation disciple of Huangfeng Valley.

Because of the special instructions from the sect leader, Zhong Lingdao.

Thanks to the special instructions from the sect leader Zhong Lingdao, and with a good brother who was exceptionally accepted by his grandmaster Hong Fu and was a Qi Refining Great Perfection cultivator with a mutated spiritual root standing behind him.

Throughout his journey, every manager he encountered was kind and courteous.

The unpleasant things that happened in the original story, where he was constantly harassed and had his resources withheld because of his poor aptitude and lack of support within the sect, didn't even appear this time.

Han Li randomly selected a task at the "Hundred Machines Hall" to find and hand over a Fire Cloud Ginseng.

He already had these spiritual herbs on hand, and they were all over a hundred years old. He could simply hand over one of them and be exempted from his labor service, allowing him to focus on his cultivation during that time.

Han Li walked absentmindedly along the bluestone path leading to the residence of the new disciples, lost in thought.

He knew very well who he owed all of this to—his ability to join the Yellow Maple Valley, to possess so many spiritual herbs, and even to have such a complete set of techniques and alchemy skills.

“Foundation Building Pills are extremely rare and are essential for cultivators to break through bottlenecks. You came with an Ascension Token, and according to the sect’s old custom, you should receive one. However, your aptitude… is ultimately not good enough, and one Foundation Building Pill is just a drop in the ocean for you.”

The earnest words of the sect leader, Zhong Lingdao, still echoed in his ears.

"Nephew Mo Yu possesses a rare mutated spiritual root, and is highly regarded by Grandmaster Hong Fu; his future is limitless. A year from now, when the sect distributes Foundation Establishment Pills, he will surely receive one. However… even with a mutated spiritual root, a single Foundation Establishment Pill doesn't guarantee a perfect outcome…"

The sect leader of Zhonglingdao did not finish his sentence, but how could Han Li, who was meticulous and had already experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships in the secular world, not understand the unspoken meaning?
Even if you consume that Foundation Establishment Pill, you won't be able to successfully establish your foundation. It would be better to leave it with Mo Yu, guaranteeing him a 100% success rate in establishing his foundation.

The Ascension Token was originally a gift from Senior Brother Mo Yu. Now, it's just a matter of returning the rights attached to the token to its original owner, so Han Li naturally has no objections.

only……

He leaned on the railing and looked up. The sunset on the horizon was magnificent, and the evening glow dyed the sky a beautiful fiery red.

Occasionally, a disciple from the sect would ride a flying sword or magical artifact, transforming into a streak of light and sweeping across the sky, which filled him with longing.

Han Li's dark face looked particularly resolute in the rosy light, and he exhaled a long breath.

"Ugh……"

A complex sigh.

There is gratitude, pressure, and uncertainty about the future, but more than anything, there is a stubbornness that bursts forth from the bones after being severely beaten by reality, a refusal to admit defeat!

"Even though I am not naturally gifted, I, Han Li, am determined to continue on this path of cultivation!"

"Foundation Pill...Foundation Pill!"
