Li Yuan entered his little hut and sat on the bed he had made out of wood.
Apart from the bed, there was nothing else inside the little hut.
Li Yuan didn't care about it and was currently very excited.
Opening the system, looking at his balance of 102.000 HS Points, Li Yuan smiled happily.
Although it wasn't much considering the system's absurd prices, it was still his first pot of gold.
'System, deduce a cultivation technique that I can practice.', he said inwardly.
Previously, the reason he didn't cultivate was because he didn't have a cultivation technique.
Without a cultivation technique, there was no way to absorb the spiritual energy.
In his past life, he had read about ordinary people transmigrating to another world and being able to create cultivation techniques on their own, so Li Yuan tried to do so at first.
Soon after, he gave up.
Meridians, acupuncture points, dantian and all these strange things.
Even as as an avid webnovel reader, Li Yuan didn't understand what any of them was.
How could he actually create a cultivation technique?
[Emperor of Heaven's Technique. Price: 1 Trillion HS Points.]
[Dragon Emperor's Technique. Price: 1 Trillion HS Points.]
[Great Destiny Technique. Price: 1 Trillion HS Points. Recommended.]
[...]
[Phoenix Transformation Technique. Price: 9 Billion HS Points.]
[..]
A list that included countless different cultivation techniques appeared in front of him, but Li Yuan only focused on the first items on the list.
As a transmigrator that had a system, how could he not practice the best possible technique?
If he chose a low-level technique, wouldn't he be embarrassing himself?
Looking at the absurd prices of the top techniques, Li Yuan had already expected it and wasn't very surprised.
'System, is it possible to buy only the chapters of the techniques that are about the Body Forging Realm?'
The system didn't answer, but instantly, the prices on the list changed, with the techniques at the top costing only about 100.000 HS Points.
With some reluctance about spending his money, Li Yuan finally made his final choice.
The Great Destiny Technique.
Since the system recommended this technique, it should be the most powerful and suitable for him, right?
It's not that Li Yuan didn't doubt the system at all, but he couldn't find any reason for someone to go out of their way just to plot against him, an ordinary person.
Even if someone was plotting against him, there was nothing he could do about it at this time.
As soon as Li Yuan selected the Great Destiny Technique, his HS Points instantly decreased by 100.000.
Li Yuan however didn't have any time to worry about becoming broke again, as countless insights about the Great Destiny Technique appeared in his mind.
Going through all the information inside his mind, Li Yuan fully understood the first chapter of the Great Destiny Technique.
In the Body Forging Realm, the first realm, the cultivator has to absorb the spiritual energy in their surroundings and guide it inside their body.
When the spiritual energy is absorbed, the body will not be able to store it and will discharge it.
The practice of the Body Forging Realm is to constantly absorb spiritual energy and discharge it, until finally the body is able to store the spiritual energy.
During this whole process, the cultivator's body's strength will increase.
When their body is finally able to store the spiritual energy, they will be able to break through the Qi Condensing Realm.
"Sure enough, a top cultivation technique is really strong.", Li Yuan sighed.
Compared to other techniques, by practicing the Great Destiny Technique, when one reaches the Qi Condensing Realm, they will no longer be bound by fate, destiny or luck.
Li Yuan went through the technique and knew what this meant.
Everything in this world has fate, destiny and luck.
Take Xiao Huo for example, even though Li Yuan called him a protagonist, it would be more accurate to call him a Son of Luck or the Son of Heaven.
No matter what Xiao Huo did, no matter how dangerous the situation he was in, he would always benefit in the end, while his enemies would suffer.
This wasn't something he could consciously control, but it was something like an innate ability.
Once someone practicing the Great Destiny Technique reached the Qi Condensing Realm, they would no longer be affected by this kind of ability.
If Li Yuan suddenly tried to kill Xiao Huo when he met him previously, it is very possible that something will happen and Xiao Huo will be survive.
For example, a random expert happens to be passing by and thinks that Xiao Huo is very handsome so they saves him, or Xiao Huo awakens his past life's memories and slaps Li Yuan to death.
However, as long as Li Yuan practiced the Great Destiny Technique, he would easily be able to kill Xiao Huo as long as he was stronger than him.
"But it's strange. Why am I always thinking about killing Xiao Huo?"
Li Yuan was speechless by his thoughts.
After he completely understood the technique, Li Yuan didn't hesitate and started practicing.
Sitting cross-legged and feeling the spiritual energy around him, he tried to absorb it, creating a cyclone of spiritual energy inside the little hut.
If any cultivator was here, they would be shocked.
Normally, when a Body Forging cultivator practices, they can only absorb a little spiritual energy.
But now, Li Yuan wasn't absorbing a little spiritual energy, but a sea of spiritual energy.
Li Yuan didn't know about his abnormal practice and continued absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, while Li Yuan fell into practice, on the other side, Xiao Huo flew in air above the forest while looking behind him fro, time to time.
Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, since senior is able to live here, he should be very strong, right?", he asked his doubts.
"Although I can't sense his strength, he should be almost as strong as I was in my peak.", his master's voice sounded in his ears.
"Then why is he so shameless and robs a little Foundation Building cultivator like me?", Xiao Huo was puzzled.
After a little pause, the voice sounded again.
"Actually, it's not very strange. There are countless people in the world, but only a few manage to become powerful cultivators."
"Most powerful cultivators tend to have certain quirks, or they are completely crazy."
"The Pavilion Owner should also be like this."
"Think about it. For him, the little items you took out should be worthless, yet he still took them happily."
"This should be his quirk. Cheating other people.", the voice explained patiently.
Xiao Huo heard his master's words and felt that it made sense.
Powerful cultivators lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
It is almost certain that some cultivators' mentality will be distorted after living for so long.
'The Pavilion Owner should also be like that.'
Looking at the map in his hand, Xiao Huo found that apart from a painting of a forest, there were also some red lines that had been crudely drawn.
"Master, do you think that this map is accurate?", he asked.
"When I was alive, I had visited the Dark Mirror Forest and can remember a few places."
"Although the so-called opportunity most likely doesn't exist, the map should actually be accurate.", the voice said.
Listening to his master's words, Xiao Huo became excited.
No matter whether there is an opportunity or not, just this map of the forest was already very valuable.
Thinking of this, he stared at the map and chose a location, then changed his course of flight and flew towards it.
