Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

Chapter 8: Fate Deduction

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the library, there were 100,000 books. Some of these books described the appearance of spirit herbs, some provided knowledge of refining weapons, some had information about refining pills, and some described all kinds of miscellaneous information. There were even some that described Cultivation Methods. These were all which were scattered in the library.

For example, there were 72 techniques for cultivating spirit plants, and many things to pay attention to.

There were also 18 pill formulas for Foundation Establishment Pills.

In a book, there was a detailed description of how to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Unfortunately, there were no Grade 2 alchemists around, and there was no access to all kinds of spirit herbs. Even if someone knew all the formulas, he would not be able to refine these pills.

If one really thought that they could refine foundation establishment pills with pill formulas, then they would be underestimating alchemists.

Alchemists needed both wood and fire elements, as well as a strong soul force, and they also needed to burn spirit herbs. Only a few cultivators met the standards, and only large clans had the qualifications to cultivate them.

As for rogue cultivators, it was very difficult to become an alchemist unless they had unlimited spirit herbs to squander.

Just like in his previous life, almost everyone knew about the theory of manufacturing an atomic bomb. However, just the fuel and electricity requirements were prohibitive for many countries, and only a few countries were qualified to manufacture it.

This was another aspect, which was the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe.

Many large factions actually leaked the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe so that loose cultivators and small clans could search for the spirit herbs for them.

It would be a colossal waste if some brainless youth were to enter the ancient ruins, and could not recognize the rare spiritual herbs.

Knowledge was priceless, but it was also useless at the same time. The key difference was whether was who controlled the resources.

Entering the library, Lu Xuanji directly skipped this area and went straight to the Cultivation Method area, starting to flip through it.

The Cultivation Method books here were very scattered. There were Cultivation Methods of various attributes, about three hundred volumes. There were also some cultivation techniques derived by Foundation Establishment elders, some cultivation technique concepts, cultivation notes, and so on. All of them could be read for free, and there was no need to spend contribution points.

The content of the Cultivation Methods stopped at the Qi Refinement stage. As for those above the Foundation Establishment stage, they could only be obtained with contribution points.

In the library, Lu Xuanji was flipping through the cultivation method books. One volume after another, he was scanning the text with the phone, entering the document to store it, and then used the Fate Deduction function.

[Deducing fate, at your service. Please confirm the direction of deducing.]

“There are two goals for deducing. One is to increase the cultivation speed, and the other is to perfectly match the body. Wood and fire are the main attributes, while earth is the auxiliary,” Lu Xuanji muttered.

As for combat strength, he ignored it for now.

[Deducing fate, in progress… requires ten days to complete.]

Lu Xuanji heaved a sigh of relief. The deduction time was not that long.

Then, he carefully flipped through the book and analyzed it.

Ten days later, a voice came from his phone.

[Ding. Fate Deduction has ended. The first version of the Cultivation Method has been completed. Please name the Cultivation Method.]

“The Cultivation Method is called… Green Lotus Creation Art,” Lu Xuanji said.

[Transmission of the Cultivation Method.]

At this moment, words appeared on the phone screen. The Cultivation Method outline was 500 words, and the content was 3,500 words. After that, there were specific cultivation steps, cultivation instructions, and so on. It was about 30,000 words.

It was deduced based on Lu Xuanji’s body as the foundation.

It was perfectly compatible with his body… As for the others who obtained this Cultivation Technique, the cultivation effect would only be average.

As he circulated the Cultivation Method, the spiritual energy in his body changed its circulation path. About half a day later, Lu Xuanji successfully switched to cultivating the Green Lotus Creation Art.

When he was cultivating this Cultivation Method, he had to take off his shoes and stand barefoot on the ground. He had to absorb the spiritual energy of the earth. He nourished the wood with the earth, and nourished the fire with the wood.

After only one cycle, Lu Xuanji felt that his speed had increased by 20%.

Raising his cultivation by 20% might not seem fast, but after years of accumulation, he could save a lot of time.

As it was perfectly compatible with one’s own body, one’s combat power would increase correspondingly.

“Not bad, not bad.” Lu Xuanji was delighted.

Right at this moment, he saw an old man walk in. He immediately said respectfully, “Greetings, Patriarch.”

The old man was Lu Fuming, the patriarch of the Lu clan’s Zifu estate.

“Reading?”

“Yes.”

“Read well. Don’t waste your training time,” the Patriach said.

Lu Xuanji nodded in agreement.

“Why is the can library open for free? 100 years ago, you need to pay contribution points to enter the library,” the Patriarch asked, “Do you know why?”

“Free is actually the most expensive. If you want to take, you must first give,” Lu Xuanji said calmly. “To fish, you need to pay bait.”

He was very familiar with this routine in his previous life.

The Patriarch smiled. He said with a gratified expression, “You’re very smart. A hundred years ago, when the library was opened for free, many people didn’t understand it. At that time, I didn’t understand it either, but I still did it. The Dan Yang Sect was the first to do so, I could only follow.”

“After the opening of the Free Library, the cohesion of the clan has increased a lot. Even the cultivation speed has increased a lot. In their spare time, the clan cultivators often go to the library to read books to increase their knowledge.”

“Patriarch is wise.”

“It’s not that I’m wise, but that senior from the Dan Yang Sect is wise.” The patriarch seemed to have thought of something.

“The first generation Patriarch of the Lu clan is called Lu Changsheng. Back then, the first generation Patriarch was only an outer sect disciple of the Dan Yang Sect. However, because he failed the test, he left the Dan Yang Sect and went to Qingfeng County to marry three female cultivators, establishing the Lu clan.”

“After many ups and downs, 1,000 years have passed. The Lu clan’s most difficult time was when there was only one Foundation Establishment cultivator. There were less than 30 cultivators, and they were on the verge of becoming rogue cultivators… Fortunately, they managed to survive.”

The Patriarch recalled the past and spoke of the thousand-year history of the Lu clan.

In the past thousand years, the Lu clan had had a miserable time. Their ancestral land had been breached, and most of the cultivators had been killed by powerful enemies. Only a few had escaped and then had to rebuild with great difficulty.

In the past, it had been glorious. At its peak, it had three Zifu disciples, one of whom was at the eighth level of the Zifu stage.

The Lu clan’s past had been bumpy and difficult.

“Xuanji, how old are you?” The Patriarch asked.

“14 years old,” Lu Xuanji said.

“Six years old, awakened Spiritual Roots. Nine years old, first level of the Qi Refinement stage. Only five years old, and you’ve reached the second level of the Qi Refinement stage. Your talent is quite good.” The patriarch nodded. “Have you eaten any supplementary pills?”

“No,” Lu Xuanji said.

Even the cheapest White Yang Pills cost one spirit stone for ten of them.

“Without taking any supplementary pills, you reached the second level of the Qi Refinement stage in just five years. Although you have Three Spiritual Roots, your speed is comparable to that of a Two Spiritual Root.” A trace of surprise and joy flashed through the Patriarch’s eyes.

“There are only two possibilities for a Three Spiritual Root to have a speed comparable to that of a Two Spiritual Root. One is outstanding comprehension ability, and the other is that you have a special constitution.” The patriarch analyzed, and a trace of curiosity flashed through his eyes.

“Comprehension ability isn’t easy to measure. A special constitution can only be revealed when one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage.”

“It’s better if you consume fewer pills during the Qi refinement stage. There is some poison when it came to pills. Although consuming pills can increase the cultivation speed of a cultivator, the pill poison also accumulates in the body. At the moment of breaking through to the next realm, the pill poison will explode and reduce the chances of breaking through.”

“Many cultivators fail to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage because there is too much pill poison in their bodies..”
