The Leisurely Life of a Young Man in the World of Cultivation

This sudden realization came so suddenly, catching me completely off guard.

Only after the epiphany ended did he realize what had happened.

"Holy crap, what the hell happened?"

Compared to his previous spontaneous enlightenment, this time it was quite passive, and he himself had little memory of the enlightenment process.

Now all he remembers is that a powerful combat technique called Battle Runes has appeared in his mind.

In short, it means absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to enhance oneself during battle, and even absorbing some spiritual energy from enemy spells to maintain the operation of the battle runes.

Even if one's own spiritual power is completely exhausted, one can still sustain oneself for a period of time using battle runes.

He has currently comprehended two types of spirit runes: tortoise and turtle.

Although these two things may sound and look like the same thing, "turtle" actually refers to a hard-shelled turtle, while "wangba" refers to a soft-shelled turtle.

The former has a long lifespan and is good at defense but lacks offensive capabilities.

The latter has weak defenses but is quite fierce in attack and is adept at underwater combat.

Therefore, the two are completely different, but if both are engraved with battle patterns, then they can be considered to complement each other to some extent.

Now, in addition to the strange phenomena following the great changes in the world, a new kind of war pattern has appeared.

He looked at Lu Changlei with utter shock.

Waiting day,

He originally only intended to use this kid to trick Old Deng, but he never expected this to happen.

However, after drawing so many, only the turtle and the tortoise formed battle patterns; the others didn't. It seems that the creation of these battle patterns was largely due to luck.

[Ding! Gift pack refreshed, please purchase in time!]

Ok?

The gift packs have been refreshed?

He immediately opened the system and was quickly drawn to the new gift pack.

[Adventure & War Rune Deduction Pack: War Rune Deduction Card. Price: 128000 In-Game Points.]

[Battle Rune Deduction Card: When used, this card allows a battle rune to be deduced to the current world's limit. The stronger the battle rune, the stronger the effect.]

hiss!

Upon seeing this gift package, the first thing he noticed was its price.

What does 128000 mean? Only the previous Perfect Foundation Establishment Gift Pack could surpass that, but now even a Battle Rune Deduction Card is this expensive.

Could it be that battle runes are going to be a very powerful thing in the cultivation world?

In the logic of the "golden finger" (a game mechanic), the more useful something is, the higher its price will be.

Therefore, this pay-to-win feature means it's worth the price!

Damn, I bought it!

After receiving the contents of the gift package, Lu Changfeng finally looked at Lu Changlei.

His eyes were full of anticipation at that moment.

Although he knew that luck played a big part this time, no one else noticed, but this kid did. Who knows what the explanation is!

Thinking of this, he took out his green bamboo and handed it over.

"Here you go, you did a good job today. I'll come back for you next time if there's another chance like this!"

"But remember to keep it a secret!"

Upon seeing the sword, Lu Changlei's eyes lit up, and he took it.

Everyone else might not know, but did he? This sword, though only a low-grade first-tier weapon, held immense significance for him. Now that he had given it to him…

Second brother is indeed a good person!

He immediately patted his chest and assured them.

"Second brother, don't worry, even if you beat me to death, I will never tell anyone!"

Lu Changfeng immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Alright, I'll head back to my room now!"

He then went to the living room, where dinner had already ended and his older sister had taken Lu Yue and Zhen Ji out for a walk.

During the day, my older sister needs to protect Lao Deng and the others, so she can only stay at home. She only has time to go out and have some fun when Lu Changfeng comes back at night.

Don't tell me there's nothing fun to do at night. That's a joke. This is the world of cultivation, and a Nascent Soul sect at that. There's plenty of nightlife here. He just doesn't want to go.

After returning to his room, he began to ponder the battle rune deduction card within his cheat system.

According to the item's description, this card allows a battle rune to be deduced to its current maximum potential.

But now the problem is, I currently have two battle runes, the tortoise and the turtle, so which one should I deduce?

Even with his current monthly salary of 40,000, nearly 130,000 in-game currency is no small sum.

He plans to use most of his spending points on more important things, such as achieving the strongest Golden Core or the strongest Nascent Soul.

So no matter how many in-game currency he earns, it's never enough for him, so he'll willingly give up on things that aren't so important.

He made his decision quickly, and in the end he chose the tortoise battle pattern, since the name "turtle" didn't sound good!

That's right, the reason is that simple: since it's impossible to distinguish which is better, then one's own senses are the best standard of judgment.

As the props began to calculate, a precision bar appeared in front of him in the next moment.

[Deduction progress 1%, 2%... 99%, 100%!]

[Deduction successful!]

The next moment, a vast amount of knowledge suddenly appeared in his mind.

However, after learning all this new information, Lu Changfeng was dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, is that still a turtle? It looks more like a Black Tortoise!"

Of course, he was exaggerating a bit, but the current tortoise battle markings are indeed completely different from before.

Based on the deduction, the original tortoise battle pattern was divided into two paths.

First is the Longevity Turtle, which, as the name suggests, can increase lifespan. Once the carving is successful, lifespan will increase by 20%. As cultivation level increases by a major stage, lifespan will increase by another 20%, until the highest Nascent Soul stage, where lifespan is twice that of a normal Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

This is only the limit of the current world, not the limit of the tortoise.

As for the second one, named Jia Gui, its defense doubled upon successful carving, and increased fivefold upon reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Note that this can be combined with body tempering.

Seeing this, he finally understood why this deduction card was so expensive—it was all about high-value percentage bonuses! How could it not be expensive?

Unfortunately, each person can only have one battle mark, but there is one exception: the first individual to be born with this type of battle mark.

Currently, only Lu Yuange can carve one of each type of battle pattern, whether it's a tortoise or a turtle.

By this standard, he's a born king of turtles! Turtle enthusiasts are ecstatic.

Although it doesn't sound good, genuine battle rune origins can even be considered a special physique.

Besides him, the other first beings to create similar battle runes were also like him; each type could be depicted.

The next morning, Lu Changfeng had just woken up when he heard Lu Yuange's voice.

"You bastard, you bastard, look at what you drew on me! You can't erase it!"

"How am I supposed to go out like this? I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

Lu Changlei was immediately given a thorough beating by Old Deng, but even so, he still didn't implicate Lu Changfeng.

Lu Changfeng was stunned by what he saw.

Good heavens, does our Lu family still have such an honest person? We're going to have to rip them off a few more times, aren't we?

Ahem, of course that was just a joke; he still needs to stop him.

"Cough cough, Old Deng, stop, stop, don't hit the child yet!"

"He even drew patterns for us, that's wonderful, incredibly wonderful!"
