Chapter 143: Niu Village

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After defeating the Black Snake King and the small demons around him, Lu Yuan helped Xu Wan’er up from the ground.

...

“When did you arrive here, Wan’er?” he asked.

Xu Wan’er was stunned for a moment before she recounted her experiences during this period of time.

The content was similar to what Lu Yuan had thought.

This time, when the mist from the Tidal Moon spread to the Moon Mountain Pass, it sucked in everyone inside who had cultivation and brought them into the Full Moon Mountain.

Xu Wan’er was undoubtedly a cultivator now.

However, although he and Xu Wan’er were in the same residence, they seemed to have entered different Gates of Hell.

Lu Yuan speculated that the reason Meng Ruyan appeared with him was that they had been in such proximity to each other that the distance between them was negligible.

Hence, it was not strange that they were teleported in together.

After listening to Xu Wan’er’s description, Lu Yuan realized that although Xu Wan’er’s experience in the Gates of Hell was dangerous, the strength of the ghosts was still within an acceptable range.

Unlike Lu Yuan’s situation, in the end, two Kings of Hell at the Core Formation Stage even appeared.

Lu Yuan speculated that this might be because the Gate of Hell sensed the strength of Lu Yuan’s group of cultivators.

Therefore, it automatically increased the strength of the ghosts in the Ghost City.

Even someone like Shen Xuan, who was the gatekeeper, could not control this as the array within the Gate of Hell was set up by the sects of the Upper Realm.

Shen Xuan was only responsible for managing the place and had no right or ability to change the contents of the array.

After learning this information, Lu Yuan had a better understanding of the Full Moon Mountain Range.

The so-called Full Moon Mountain Range was a talent selection center for the Upper Realm sects.

The goal was to select talented individuals from the Lower Realm and bring them to the Upper Realm.

Perhaps the sects of the Upper Realm had reached some kind of agreement with each other.

Therefore, they worked together to create a mysterious place like the Full Moon Mountain Range.

It was also said that there were many natural treasures and cultivator legacies in the mountain range.

It attracted cultivators from the outside world to come here and test their luck every 300 years.

The reason for this 300-year cycle was twofold. Firstly, it allowed time for the ghosts at the Gates of Hell to regain some vitality, ensuring the checkpoint’s difficulty. Secondly, it provided cultivators outside the mountain range with time to cultivate.

The upper limit of the Full Moon Mountain Range was the Core Formation Stage.

In 300 years, even the most talented person would only be able to reach the Core Formation Stage cultivation, unless they were monstrously talented.

If someone were to truly cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage within 300 years, they would seek ways to break through the upper limit of the world, even without the Upper Realm making contact with them.

Ultimately, they would establish contact with the Upper Realm.

It could be said that not only the Full Moon Mountain Range, but the entire Lower Realm was a place used by the cultivators of the Upper Realm to nurture talents.

This was similar to how the Qingyun Sect nurtured the Great Xia Empire.

Lu Yuan even speculated that the Qingyun Sect’s Nascent Soul Stage patriarch might be a cultivator from the Upper Realm.

The original intention of establishing a sect was to better send talents to the Upper Realm.

The situation of other sects might be similar.

As for the so-called war between the righteous and demonic sects, Lu Yuan speculated that this was just a man-made dispute to speed up the cultivation of cultivators.

In fact, as long as the Nascent Soul Stage patriarch didn’t make a move, even if the Core Formation Stage cultivators fought to the death, it wouldn’t matter to the sects.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan once again had a deep understanding of the ruthlessness of cultivators.

Perhaps to these people, whether they were mortals or low-level cultivators, they were no different from ants on the ground.

As long as these Upper Realm cultivators stayed in the Nine Heavens, they could just watch the Lower Realm cultivators fight to the death with a high and mighty attitude.

This invisible class division gave Lu Yuan a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

Although he was in the world of celestial cultivation, Lu Yuan suddenly felt a strong sense of ‘capital’.

This kind of strict grading system and the man-made class barrier were really too strong!

However, Lu Yuan had no intention of changing the situation.

He was just a small cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and he didn’t have the power to change anything.

“Young Master, what should we do now?” asked Xu Wan’er.

“That’s right, that’s right. What should we do?” added Shan Yao.

Lu Yuan raised his head, and what entered his eyes were two pairs of big, beautiful eyes. One was Xu Wan’er’s, and the other was the Shan Yao.

Before making a decision, Lu Yuan decided to ask about Shan Yao’s background.

Generally, children with outstanding luck values like her were not ordinary people, and he hoped to discover something interesting.

With that in mind, Lu Yuan pinched Shan Yao’s chubby cheeks and asked, “Little girl, before I do anything, shouldn’t you introduce yourself first?”

“Oh…I, I’m Shan Yao, and I live with my Grandpa in Niu Family Village at the foot of the mountain,” replied the little girl.

“Oh? What about your Grandpa?”

“Why didn’t you follow your Grandpa? Why did you come into these deep mountains alone?” Lu Yuan inquired further.

The moment he asked, Shan Yao’s expression changed.

Tears welled up in her eyes, and she started crying uncontrollably.

Lu Yuan was instantly stunned and unsure of what to do by Shan Yao’s sudden bawling.

“Wait, wait, I didn’t do anything. Why are you suddenly crying?”

Facing the crying Shan Yao, Lu Yuan was at a loss.

Although Lu Yuan was always prepared and had a backup plan, he lacked experience in dealing with difficult tasks such as calming a crying child.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan had learned a lot of techniques to tease children from movies and dramas in his previous life.

Therefore, he quickly said, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Let me show you something fun.”

Upon hearing this, Shan Yao’s attention was immediately drawn to Lu Yuan.

Then, a small Paper Man suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan’s hand.

After this little Paper Man appeared, it first performed a backflip in Lu Yuan’s hands and then began to perform many difficult movements.

Looking at such an interesting scene, Shan Yao immediately burst out laughing.

Seeing that Shan Yao had finally stopped crying, Lu Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

F*ck, he had never felt so helpless before, even when he was engaging in a battle with Shen Xuan.

As expected, taking care of a child was not something an ordinary person could do!

After Shan Yao regained her composure, she seemed to have thought of Lu Yuan’s question.

She then said, “My Grandpa slept for a while and never woke up again.”

“The others in the village said that Grandpa went to reincarnate.”

“I don’t know what reincarnation means, but 1 know that Grandpa probably won’t come back.”

“Although the other uncles and aunties in the village also gave me a lot of food to eat, I’m always hungry…”

At this point, Shan Yao stopped talking.

“So, did you come to the mountains to look for food?” Lu Yuan asked subconsciously.

Shan Yao blushed and nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan became interested in the Niu Family Village.

According to the usual routine, the village where a little girl like Shan Yao lived was not a simple place.

Perhaps the people living in the village were all hidden big bosses.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan immediately became interested in the Niu Family Village.

Lu Yuan had no intention of pursuing the path to immortality. He simply wanted to find a quiet place to cultivate until the end of the Tidal Moon, and then return to the outside world.

A small mountain village like this was undoubtedly very suitable for his plan of living in seclusion.

Why should others be allowed to hide away and become big bosses while he couldn’t?

Besides, with his relationship with Shan Yao, Lu Yuan didn’t think the “big boss” of Niu Family Village would pose any threat to him.

After all, he had just saved Shan Yao’s life.

According to the routine, after those big bosses saw him, even if they did not want him to stay in the mountain village, they would at least take out some good things to gratitude for his help.

However, there were always accidents. Although Lu Yuan had already decided to go to the Niu Family Village, he still had to make some preparations.

After all, there was nothing wrong with being careful when they were outside.

Even though Shan Yao seemed harmless, Lu Yuan still retained a trace of suspicion.

What if this little girl was playing dumb to take advantage of him?

Lu Yuan knew better than to underestimate anyone, especially a sly little girl like Shan Yao who had an insatiable appetite..
