I Hide And Farm In The World Of Cultivation To Increase My Proficiency

In the Imperial capital Xueyang Sect stronghold.

“Ugly Bull, have you finished collecting information about this year’s heavenly prides?” asked Horse as he looked at Ugly Bull who had just returned from the Immortal Ascension Assembly.

Ugly Bull nodded and took out the list of cultivators who had passed to the second round of the Immortal Ascension Assembly that he had collected.

The cultivators on the list were divided into several grades according to their talent aptitude.

The person who was ranked highest was Shan Yao.

Ranked beneath her was the Buddha Child of the Huanxi Sect, Heng Le.

Other than that, there were many familiar names on the list.

For example, Bai Dafei and Xu Wan’er were also included.

Strangely, Meng Ruyan was not on the list.

She had entered the Full Moon Mountain Range with Lu Yuan.

However, after that, she seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Lu Yuan had not seen her ever since they entered the Full Moon Mountain Range.

He did not know what she was doing.

Considering Meng Ruyan’s mysterious background, she was most likely up to something.

As for what it was exactly, Lu Yuan was not sure.

Another surprising discovery was that Lu Yuan’s name also appeared on the list.

The name on the list was not Lu Jiu, the false name Lu Yuan used, but his real name.

However, Lu Yuan’s ranking on this list was very low.

He was ranked last on the list.

There were a total of 100 people on the list, and Lu Yuan barely made the cut.

If Lu Yuan knew about this, he would definitely exclaim, “What sources did you rely on to create this list? 1, Lu Yuan, am clearly a guy who can’t do anything and am a slacker. How can I be on this list?”

Horse, who was beside Ugly Bull, clearly had the same doubts about the rankings.

He looked at the last cultivator on the list, Lu Yuan, and asked in confusion, “Ugly Bull, why is there so little information about this Lu Yuan?”

He further inquired, “What is his cultivation level? What is his aptitude? The information written here are all just estimates. It’s written here that he’s suspected to be at the Core Formation Stage and has a golden core formed through the way of the heavens.”

Horse pressed on, “We don’t have much time. We have to take away the people on the list as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the sects from the Upper Realm find out about us and send out Apotheosis Stage experts to pursue us, we’ll all die here.”

Facing Horse’s questions, Ugly Bull answered directly, “Horse, 1 added Lu Yuan to the list after 1 chatted with a cultivator. The person 1 talked to was a Qingyun Sect cultivator from the outside world. The other party casually mentioned this person called Lu Yuan and said that he is the most talented in pill refinement among his peers.”

“Oh?”

Hearing that Lu Yuan was actually a pharmacist, Dog, who had remained silent all this while, also became interested.

He commented, “If he is a pharmacist, he can be added to this list. After all, our Demon Clan lacks pharmacists the most. If we can nurture him, it will be of great benefit to us.”

“Right? I also think so,” Ugly Bull agreed.

Horse interrupted, “Alright, the preparations are almost done. We should make a move.”

He went over the plan, saying, “Just like what we planned before, we will start with the cultivators who left the Immortal Ascension Assembly early. After capturing these people, we will go to the three sealed places here and steal the luck of this world. While we do so, the cultivators from the Upper Realm who came to this world will definitely come to stop us. The rest of us will enter the Immortal Ascension Assembly and use the things we prepared to take away the cultivators on the list.”

Everyone nodded in acknowledgement while listening to the plan.

The other disciples of Xueyang Sect who were only at the Core Formation Stage expressed that they would complete the mission as planned.

Upon closer inspection, everyone present, including Ugly Bull and the other two, were actually demons that had transformed into human form.

Demons were existences that could crush cultivators of the same level.

Furthermore, they were demons from the Upper Realm.

It was not a problem for a Nascent Soul Stage demon from the Upper Realm to deal with two or three Upper Realm human cultivators of the same level.

This was also the reason why Ugly Bull and the others were so confident in their plan this time.

Those with power could do as they pleased.

Just as Ugly Bull and the others were planning, a figure quietly approached their vicinity.

This cautious person was Zhuang Yangbing.

He was well-prepared.

He knew that there was a group of powerful outsiders in the Xueyang Sect stronghold.

He naturally wouldn’t barge in recklessly, so instead, he looked for the right opportunity to sneak in.

After observing for a long time, he found the best opportunity to infiltrate.

That was the end of every month.

For some reason, there would be fewer people in the stronghold at the end of the month.

Even the three Nascent Soul Stage cultivators would leave for a period of time to do their own things.

This was undoubtedly a very good opportunity for him to infiltrate the place.

After he found out that his remnant soul was attached to one of the plants, he was confident that he could retrieve it in the shortest amount of time by relying on his familiarity with the layout of the stronghold.

He had never thought of fighting these cultivators head-on.

If he fought with his full strength, he could put up a fight against a Core Formation Stage Level 8 cultivator..
