Cultivation begins with harvest.

As all cultivators know, there are a hundred arts of cultivation, but in reality, they are divided into categories. It is difficult to find a hundred different kinds of specialized professions that can be called systematic ones.

The Cloud Tower has forty-seven orbs of light, representing forty-seven different lineages. When Chen Guang saw this scene, he was filled with surprise and joy, especially since he had eleven choices, and the last two were not from the mainstream schools. He was overjoyed.

Having choices is a kind of happiness.

Although Chen Guang suspected that the inheritances of spiritual plants, alchemy, and weapon crafting were probably available to any cultivator who entered the Cloud Tower, the only difference being the amount of inheritance. After all, even without an inheritance, these cultivation methods would at most mean lacking skills. The threshold for learning spiritual plants and alchemy techniques was arguably the lowest in the cultivation world.

Various fragmented and basic knowledge spreads everywhere, making it difficult not to know about it.

"I do know about the professions of the Remnant Controller and the Candlelight Warrior."

Zhu Xiao has a bit of a messenger feel to him. The cultivation technique [Zhu Jiuyin] is a must-know skill. All of Zhu Xiao's abilities are based on this technique. Zhu Jiuyin can communicate with [Weishan]. It is said that Weishan is tangible but intangible, existing in every inch of the world that is illuminated by light, but it cannot be detected by the naked eye.

Zhu Xiao can use this to transmit information, and it is said that when he cultivates to a high level, he can also use Weishan to transmit some spiritual objects.

It was entirely expected that Qingheng Sect would have this lineage. Zhu Xiao was able to transmit information to distant people with just a thought without having to move. Even families of the level of Dongdu Zhao Clan were cultivating Zhu Xiao.

Chen Guang was interested in this, but more out of curiosity. He was not very willing to cultivate it himself. In the Cloud Tower, one could only choose three special professions at most. With this restriction, Zhu Xiao was naturally not considered.

Even an outsider like myself knows that most Candle Warriors remain at the first rank for their entire lives. Although it is a special profession that is essential for any faction, most Candle Warriors are only at the first rank and can only transmit information between Candle Warriors. Such an important skill is beyond the reach of ordinary people, yet they generally remain at the first rank and find it difficult to break through. This shows how difficult it is to cultivate.

It was difficult and offered no future, so Chen Guang naturally didn't consider it.

The Remnant Path Master is nicknamed the "Beggar Among Immortals." Whenever an immortal opportunity is taken away, it's likely to leave something behind. In a sufficiently hidden corner, or within a vast spiritual land, it's difficult to completely plunder all spiritual items; there will always be remnants. The Remnant Path Master keenly senses the existence of these remaining opportunities, from a small spiritual herb or the corpse of a demon beast to a large secret realm or a spiritual land. Valuable items undiscovered by others might be just an overlooked fragment of bone with spiritual energy, a leaf from a spiritual plant that hasn't yet withered, or even scattered, incomplete inheritances…

If no one discovers them, they may remain undiscovered until they turn to dust. The art of turning fragments into wholes and accumulating small amounts into large ones is a skill whose effects may not be immediately apparent, but in the long run, it will inevitably bring rewards.

What truly made this special profession famous was that when venturing into certain spiritual lands, even if they were weak, while other cultivators ate the meat, the Canqian Guan could still get some soup in some hidden corners.

The ability to discover hidden spiritual objects and the remnants left behind after others have taken away their immortal destiny is the most unique aspect of this profession.

If Chen Guang were a disciple of the Qi Hall, then naturally choosing the Canqian Guan would be a no-brainer. However, he himself preferred farming. He was interested in adventure, but not enthusiastic. The Canqian Guan needed to travel to maximize his potential; waiting passively would yield little reward.

Not only Chen Guang, but most of the disciples of Qingheng Sect are quite familiar with the Canqian Guan, because there are countless cultivators in the Qi Hall who practice this art, which has three main directions.

First, gather remaining opportunities, accumulate small gains into large ones, and integrate fragmented resources.

Second, theft can be used to conceal or even transfer parts or the entire spiritual object without the owner's knowledge.

Third, they have a keen sensitivity to spiritual objects and some less reserved traditions, and can actively seek out treasures.

You can tell from the name whether a skill has the potential to have a negative impact on others. Names like Yanling, Canqianguan, and Suzhentaisha show that they are not used in a positive sense. Canqianguan is relatively better than others, as it is less likely to be used for crooked or evil purposes.

After eliminating the two unconventional skills from the eleven options, Chen Guang then filtered through the remaining more common skills. After a round of filtering, only three remained: spiritual plants, gluttony, and formations.

Chen Guang also hesitated about inheriting the alchemist's skills, but firstly, he already had enough Red Heart Pill Scrolls for himself, and secondly, he needed Golden Autumn Pills from other alchemist schools, but he was still lacking the main ingredient, so he wasn't in a hurry and naturally put it aside for later.

As for other things like alchemy and beast taming, I didn't have any intention of going into depth. I just happened to have the opportunity to enrich my skills, but it's not worth deliberately studying in depth.

Spiritual plants, naturally, enhance one's strengths.

Gourmets can process the raw materials of the spiritual plants they grow into more popular delicacies and even rare foods, which can become their main source of income.

Formations are a field that the Qingheng Sect excels at, and are considered one of the foundations of the sect, alongside spells. The brightness of this light cluster alone far surpasses that of other inheritances.

"Let's use an array."

After hesitating for a while, Chen Guang made his choice.

My aptitude for formations is not bad, and as a spirit plant master, I have inherited the Nine Husbands lineage and have also obtained three skills: Earth and Wood Interaction, Returning to Wood Spring, and Building Wood. To say that is enough is definitely not enough. There are still many areas where I lack skills such as transferring spirit plants, storing spirit plants, and healing spirit plants, but it is definitely the profession with the most solid foundation.

Furthermore, the inheritance of Yunlou is either incomplete or basic, and may not even be as good as the inheritance of the Nine Husbands of Ditang. Yunlou is open to all Qingheng disciples, while Chunyuanju is only open to Ditang disciples who are good at cultivating spiritual plants. The difference in quality is obvious.

Therefore, I gave up on spiritual plants.

As for the Tao Ke inheritance, Chen Guang still has intermittent cash flow problems. Choosing this inheritance will definitely bring some benefits and make his cultivation path smoother. However, the biggest drawback is that the micro-meridians required by special skills such as Tao Ke, alchemist, weapon refiner, spirit plant master, and spirit doctor are conflicting. They cannot coexist at the Qi Refining stage.

The inheritance of formation techniques immediately stood out.

Formations have a wide range of uses and can be utilized by all types of cultivators, making them an extremely reliable choice.

When Chen Guang truly made up his mind, without any action, it was as if Yun Lou had seen through his true thoughts. All the other light orbs vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only the light orb of the formation, which grew infinitely larger and instantly illuminated the entire space, sweeping away all darkness.

Chen Guang no longer cared about the changes in the environment. The special energy in the Cloud Tower was permeating the area, just like the restrictions that were strictly forbidden to be passed on when he received the Nine Husbands' inheritance.

Then a large amount of information rushed into Chen Guang's mind. It was completely different from the Nine Husbands Inheritance. The infusion of the Nine Husbands Inheritance was controllable and the degree was much milder.

The Yunlou inheritance was more like a cramming of information into him. Chen Guang would digest a little bit, and then another little bit would be crammed in. Under this almost cramming-style information indoctrination, Chen Guang actually forgot some of the content!

Only the parts that are understood still have an impact; the parts that are not understood deeply enough will remain very vague.

Embarking on the path of cultivation, in the early stages of Qi cultivation, in addition to gradually increasing one's lifespan to one hundred years, one will also gradually acquire special abilities such as keen hearing and eyesight, photographic memory, and immunity to all diseases.

Now that he couldn't remember it, Chen Guang realized that this was a special feature of the Yunlou tradition.

When Chen Guang was completely unable to comprehend the newly infused inheritance and had no impression whatsoever, not even a vague one, the inheritance abruptly stopped. The infinitely bright space in front of him suddenly changed, and Chen Guang floated down lightly. In a moment, he felt his feet firmly on the ground. The light in front of him was no longer dazzling, revealing a corner of a peach grove shrouded in wisps of white smoke.

A stone tablet stands before the peach grove.

"Cloud Tower Formation Trial Level 1: Peach Grove".

"Entering the forest is a trial. If you break the formation, you will enter the second level and receive the complete formation inheritance once. If you fail three times, you will never be allowed to enter the Cloud Tower again."

"Only those who have undergone seven forgings of divine soul can receive the complete inheritance of memories from beginning to end once. Once the inheritance ends, any memories that are not understood or remembered will be erased."

"Only after passing ten levels of the formation trial can one choose the second inheritance..."

"How domineering." Chen Guang looked at the stone tablet with a solemn expression. Each level only had three chances. If he failed three times, he would never be able to enter the Cloud Tower again. It was clear that this inheritance was not so easy to obtain. After carefully sensing the remaining inheritance in his mind, he had barely come to the edge of special skills. It was completely incomparable to the inheritance of the Nine Husbands, who obtained a part of the Void Spirit Seed in one go. In the art of formations, his talent should be inferior.

It was only then that Chen Guang realized the merit of the Nine Husbands' inheritance.

It's not just about learning a little bit and teaching a little bit; it also involves the assistance of the essence of plants and trees. Compared to the Yunlou Formation Inheritance, the Nine Husbands Inheritance is like a subject with highlighted key points and workbooks, while the Yunlou Formation Inheritance only has one textbook. You can preview it once, and the parts you don't remember will be torn out.

To get another look, you need to produce a satisfactory result.

"Those without the talent for this path, if they choose the wrong path, the first level may be both the starting point and the end." Chen Guang felt a heavy weight in his heart.

While the Qingheng Sect is kind, it also has high requirements for its disciples. This can be seen from the three-year salary system, the five-year minor competition, and the design of the Cloud Tower and Tongchuan Cliff. They don't really care about cultivators who achieve great things late in life or through trial and error. What they want are geniuses who are born with exceptional talent and maturity.

Many outer disciples, if they do not stand out, are just ordinary people to the Qingheng Sect.

Chen Guang did not force his way in, but instead chose to conservatively leave Yunlou. He left with a thought. There were no restrictions on entering and leaving Yunlou, but there were restrictions on the number of times one could enter the forest to begin the trial.
