Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 239: 169. Nature toys with man man toys with nature.


Although the conditions for entering the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven were harsh, the Celestial Master Mansion had controlled this cave heaven for many years, so most of its changes were already well understood.

If there were ever any unexpected circumstances, most likely it was because of outside influences causing sudden transformations.

For example, when Lei Jun last entered, the Vermilion Sun Tree bloomed, which was an extremely rare event.

The reason was that the great battle around Dragon Tiger Mountain had disturbed the Global Spiritual Qi, causing subtle effects within the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven.

Now, perhaps some slight changes appeared in the cave heaven again, and Lei Jun speculated that it was probably because Supreme Elder Li Song was using the cave heaven's power to heal.

*Then the old man must be having a hard time...* Lei Jun thought calmly.

The problem before him now was, with two moderately good lots, which one should he choose.

The lots were unquestionably good lots.

Although Fourth Rank and Fifth Grade Opportunities weren't as remarkable as the First, Second, or Third,

these two moderately good lots carried no risk, no hidden dangers.

In this situation, even if the grade of opportunity was a little lower, it was still totally acceptable.

As for which to pick, Lei Jun didn't make a decision right away.

Fourth Rank Opportunity was indeed more remarkable than Fifth Grade Opportunity.

But whether the opportunity or spiritual object it represented fit his current needs best was still an open question.

Both lots mentioned midnight as the key time.

According to past precedent, when two lots both specify a time and the times conflict, it meant only one could be taken, not both.

Seeing that midnight was still some time away, Lei Jun didn't rush, but instead went to inspect both Solitary Goose Peak and Holy Wave Pond as described in the lots.

By distance, the two places were indeed quite far apart.

Lei Jun first went to Solitary Goose Peak, as mentioned by the first moderately good lot.

This was a relatively barren area among the mountains within the cave heaven.

Although Spiritual Energy was also plentiful, compared to the other places in the cave heaven, it was lacking, nowhere near the likes of Immortal Bamboo Forest.

In fact, when Lei Jun first entered the Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven, he'd inspected this place,

and hadn't found anything special at the time.

Now, it seemed like there was some slight change because Supreme Elder Li Song was healing,

but arriving early to scout the area, Lei Jun found nothing out of the ordinary at first glance.

Near the mountain ridge, only wisps of white cloud drifted, scattered and elusive, like a solitary goose.

However, facing the same scenery, this time Lei Jun felt something was different.

*It wasn't because of his own senses, but in the depths of his Spiritual Soul, the Celestial Master Seal and True One Altar, closely connected to his soul, showed some subtle changes.*

Within the first layer of the True One Altar, the azure Nine Abyss Earth Fire leapt gently, seeming to be more lively than before.

*Lei Jun's heart stirred slightly. He guessed that the Fourth Rank Opportunity here could be something useful for him.*

Still, he didn't jump to conclusions or show anything on his face; he left Solitary Goose Peak as if nothing had happened and headed to the next place: Holy Wave Pond.

Like Cloud Sea Immortal Pond, Holy Wave Pond was called a "pond," but in truth its waters spread wide, looking much more like a lake.

No one entered the water, nor was there any wind.

But on the glassy surface, ripples and waves came forth unaided, undulating endlessly.

The Spiritual Energy sensed here was incredibly abundant.

Comparing Solitary Goose Peak and Holy Wave Pond alone, this place was clearly more spiritual and beautiful.

But as Lei Jun stood by the pond, neither Celestial Master Seal nor True One Altar reacted.

Nor did the Celestial Book, or the remaining Great Five Elements Creation Qi.

Lei Jun remained unhurried, walking lightly across the water's surface, not sinking.

After a while, he used his own mana to part the water, descending to the lakebed to search further.

Upon confirming there was nothing more to gain, Lei Jun left Holy Wave Pond.

*Judging which opportunity fit him best based purely on other spiritual objects' reactions was definitely not reliable.*

However, taking into account the grade difference between Fourth Rank and Fifth Grade, Lei Jun made up his mind.

He leaned toward seeking the Fourth Rank Opportunity at Solitary Goose Peak, and seeing what he could find.

*Still, the Fifth Grade Opportunity at Holy Wave Pond, being so secure and free of negative effects... it would be a shame to waste it.* Lei Jun pondered.

Speaking of it, there were some good friends among those who entered Supreme Pure Thunder Mansion Cave Heaven with him this time.

After thinking it through for a moment, Lei Jun had an idea.

With hours to go before midnight, he left Holy Wave Pond and proceeded to the next destination,

which was, in fact, his original goal when entering the cave heaven.

Immortal Bamboo Forest.

Lei Jun wandered amid the bamboo, feeling the abundant Spiritual Energy and finding a sense of peace.

He paid his respects to the Immortal Bamboo Forest, then harvested some bamboo tubes, branches, and leaves for safekeeping.

The spiritual bamboo he collected could be used in two ways.

Some would go to feed that gluttonous Gungun,

while the rest Lei Jun would use for his experiments.

He considered refining the Supreme Pure Golden Bamboo again.

But before that, he needed to try out and develop some new methods to test and improve his ideas.

After picking the bamboo, Lei Jun sat cross-legged in the forest, quietly practicing his breathing skills and meditating.

When he first entered the cave heaven, he'd spent little time in the Immortal Bamboo Forest,

but now he could make up for it, breathing deeply of the Spiritual Energy and perfecting himself.

When night fell, Lei Jun left the forest.

With some time remaining before midnight, he didn't go straight to Solitary Goose Peak, but headed for Holy Wave Pond first.

Holy Wave Pond was tranquil, with no one around for now.

Lei Jun conjured a Spirit Talisman between his fingers, which flashed briefly before vanishing into the air.
