A Mortal's Supporting Character's Different Kind of Cultivation

Tiannan, Yue Kingdom, Huangfeng Valley

In a mist-shrouded cave near Baikun Mountain, a young man in blue robes, who had been sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. "Has the plot begun? Han Li has already used the Ascension Token to reach Huangfeng Valley. It seems I don't have much time left."

This young man's name is Lu Yunfeng, and he is not from this world.

His soul came from a blue planet and, by chance, transmigrated into the body of Lu Yunfeng, a member of the Lu family with a unique spiritual root, under the jurisdiction of Huangfeng Valley in the Tiannan Yue Kingdom.

When he first transmigrated, Lu Yunfeng was secretly excited, thinking that he had obtained the protagonist template and was ready to develop his skills.

However, the reality is that the family's spiritual veins are too weak to be of much use, and all resources are controlled by the seven factions of Yue Kingdom, making it difficult to rise to prominence. Without joining the seven factions, it is difficult to rise to prominence.

Therefore, not joining the seven factions is not an option.

However, there are still advantages. Starting with a different spiritual root doesn't require high resource levels. After years of hard work, I finally reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining before the story started, and easily obtained the Foundation Establishment Pill in the tournament.

"My cultivation is not yet complete, so I cannot consume this Foundation Establishment Pill now." Lu Yunfeng closed his eyes and then began cultivating again.

The valley is located at the farthest part of Baikun Mountain, shrouded in mist all year round, with extremely thin spiritual energy. No rare plants or herbs grow here, so no one chooses this place. Lu Yunfeng moved to Baikun Mountain after reaching the tenth level of Qi Refining and was looking for a cave dwelling. He saw a flash of red light enter the mist and followed it. He used his magic weapon to blast open the rocks and found a jet-black skeleton that was shiny and emitted a dark light. In one hand, it held a piece of animal skin, and in the other hand, it held a small blood-red gourd that was shining with a red light.

Lu Yunfeng toyed with the blood-red gourd in one hand and examined a piece of animal hide in the other. The hide exuded a primordial aura, clearly not an ordinary object. Densely packed small characters covered the entire hide. "Haha, finally found it! All that effort wasn't in vain; I've finally found these ancient records!" Lu Yunfeng's face lit up with elation. He put away the blood-red gourd, took out the ancient book, and compared it with the ancient characters on the hide. He discovered the words "Innate Primordial Demon Scripture" written on the hide. Lu Yunfeng pondered. Judging from the description, this technique was likely a demonic cultivation method. "Heh, demonic or righteous, who cares? Only power is fundamental. Why hesitate? How can one climb higher and achieve great things with such a mindset?" Lu Yunfeng's expression turned serious as he continued reading.

After a while, Lu Yunfeng put down the animal skin, pinched the bridge of his nose, and remained expressionless, but the flickering look in his eyes suggested that he was not as calm as he appeared.

The Primordial Demon Scripture is a supreme demonic cultivation technique that can be cultivated to the point of transcending tribulations and ascending to immortality. It is the core cultivation technique created by the progenitor of the demon realm for the direct descendants of the demon realm.

A moment later, Lu Yunfeng also learned that the black skeleton was the daytime demon king Fanshan Liumu, who had followed the demon realm into the human world and died in an unnamed valley in the Taiyue Mountains for some unknown reason.

The other blood-red gourd, according to the "Primordial Demon Scripture," is the Creation Blood Gourd, a supreme treasure of chaos!

It can devour the corpses, essence, and remnant souls of living beings, and even extract the blood essence and life force from the earth's veins, transforming them into the "Creation Blood Spring" in the gourd. It can be drunk directly, used to accelerate the growth of spiritual plants, or fed to demonic beasts to help them advance, but it must be diluted with care.

"Phew—" Lu Yunfeng gasped, his face showing shock.

As a veteran reader of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality," he knew all too well what this meant. This was an even more heaven-defying and domineering cheat code than Han Li's little green bottle in some aspects!

Faster and more rapid ripening of spiritual plants means an unlimited supply of elixirs! And once you reach a high level of cultivation, you can even drink them directly!

But his elation was instantly suppressed by reason; Lu Yunfeng knew all too well what this meant. "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime"—this principle applied equally to this world, especially in a world where the strong prey on the weak.

He's just a nobody; if word gets out, he'll surely die a horrible death.

"Stay calm, don't panic. Han Li has been able to go far because of his caution and prudence." Lu Yunfeng repeatedly warned himself not to make a mistake.

Lu Yunfeng took out the blood-red gourd and immediately went to the black skeleton. He recited the incantation recorded in the Innate Demon Scripture, and the mouth of the gourd was aimed at the skeleton. The red light shone brightly, and the skeleton was instantly sucked into the gourd and disappeared.

"Senior, please do me a favor and help me one last time. Be my guinea pig." After finishing, Lu Yunfeng picked up the animal skin and continued to examine it.

Lu Yunfeng had been studying the supernatural powers in the animal skin book. When he was hungry, he would eat the fasting pills he carried with him, and when he was thirsty, he would drink mountain spring water.

A month later, Lu Yunfeng finally figured out the ancient characters and could understand the meaning on the animal skin. The blood-red gourd also shone brightly and made a rustling sound when shaken.

Lu Yunfeng arrived at the herb garden he had cultivated a few days earlier in his cave. Looking at the spiritual herbs that had already been planted, he thought, "Dragon Pattern Grass, Polygonatum, Golden Marrow Ganoderma... Let's try them out now." Immediately, Lu Yunfeng formed hand seals, and a small blood-red gourd hovered in the air. A bright red light shone from the bottle's mouth, accompanied by a thunderous roar of rushing water. A drop of blood detached from the bottle and floated in the air. As soon as the blood drop appeared, a refreshing fragrance wafted over, making Lu Yunfeng feel refreshed and invigorated, as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring. "Truly worthy of being called the Creation Blood Spring, it's so miraculous! Let's test it out." Lu Yunfeng then mixed the blood drop with a vat of spring water, diluted it, and evenly sprinkled it throughout the herb garden.

After confirming that there were no problems, he returned to his cave and began to try to cultivate the secret techniques recorded in the Primordial Demon Scripture.

Time lost its meaning at this moment; only the spiritual herbs growing in the herb garden reminded Lu Yunfeng of the passage of time.

Two years have quietly passed since the day I deciphered the animal hide and gained a basic understanding of the Creation Blood Gourd.

Over the past two years, Lu Yunfeng has transformed into an ascetic, completely immersing himself in the valley.

He did not rush to leave, but instead used the blood beads to dilute a small amount and take it, which made his cultivation progress rapidly. Lu Yunfeng knew that without strength, it was impossible to gain a foothold in this cruel world of cultivation.

With the help of diluted blood beads, breaking through the bottleneck became incredibly easy. Until a few months ago, his internal magical power surged, overflowing with self-satisfaction, and he naturally broke through to the thirteenth level of Qi Refining. He did not rush to leave seclusion, but spent half a year consolidating his cultivation.

While cultivation level is important, life-saving supernatural abilities should not be overlooked.

In the past two years, Lu Yunfeng has never stopped studying the secret techniques in the "Primordial Demon Scripture".

"Black Demon Finger" is the easiest attack technique to learn among all martial arts methods. Lu Yunfeng has already mastered it completely and can activate it at will.

Demonic energy condenses at the fingertips, compresses into a pure black finger force about an inch long, and shoots out. It is enough to pierce through the protective spiritual light of ordinary late-stage Qi Refining cultivators. After hitting the target, the demonic energy will slowly corrode the skin, flesh, and meridians, and the wound will turn black and be difficult to heal.

Lu Yunfeng has mastered the "Demonic Energy Locking Technique" to perfection.

Once unleashed, unless a Foundation Establishment cultivator deliberately probes with their divine sense, it is extremely difficult to discern his true nature.

They would only think that Lu Yunfeng was a mortal with no spiritual power, or a low-level cultivator with insignificant cultivation.

Of all the secret techniques Lu Yunfeng cultivated, the one that consumed the most effort and that he valued the most was the "Demon Blood Transformation," a technique that could be considered a life-saving skill.

Using its own essence and demonic energy as a guide, it instantly enveloped its entire body, transforming into a pool of blood light. It unleashed a terrifying speed far exceeding its cultivation level and could merge into any liquid, drifting with the current and becoming almost impossible to find.

According to the description of the technique, with Lu Yunfeng's Qi Refining 13th level cultivation level, he could activate the demonic blood transformation, and his escape speed over short distances could even surpass that of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator!

The cost is that casting it requires a large amount of mana and a long period of meditation to recover.

"Faster than a Foundation Establishment cultivator..." Lu Yunfeng murmured, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

With this secret technique, unless a Foundation Establishment cultivator intentionally tries to kill him or he falls into a restriction, his chances of survival will greatly increase.

"It's time to go out." Lu Yunfeng took a deep breath. After two years of secluded cultivation, his cultivation level and secret techniques had reached the expected level. He couldn't delay any longer.

A strong thought kept lingering in his mind: to go to the Crimson Forbidden Land and steal the golden chest!

Knowing the plot well, the Six Ding Heavenly Armor Talisman is indispensable if you want to pass through the spatial nodes.

It was originally in the Crimson Forbidden Land, Tianyuan Pagoda, that Nangong Wan took out and handed it over to Han Li!

"We must get it before Nangong Wan does." Lu Yunfeng narrowed his eyes.

The black dragon blocking the way is a problem; it won't be easy to get the golden chest if we don't deal with it. We'll need quite a few powerful magical artifacts to defeat it.

"Yellow Maple Valley Market." Lu Yunfeng immediately thought of this place.

As a market open to the public in Huangfeng Valley, it is rich in resources.

It was a place to buy things and also a place to sell things. With the plan set, Lu Yunfeng immediately prepared to go.
