However, it seems a bit unfitting for Gao Tingyuan’s status.

Luo Chen muttered to himself, checking the other objects.

Three bottles of Dusting Pills, ten bottles of Qi Nurturing Pills, and even Jade Marrow Pills!

“Eh, isn’t this Deficiency Repairing Meridian Fluid? Where did Gao Tingyuan get this from? It’s not cheap.”

This kind of Spirit medicine is often used by Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators and typically starts at the cost of several hundred Spirit Stones.

Inside Gao Tingyuan’s storage bag, there were two whole bottles.

Not only that, but there were three or four other kinds of pills relating to the meridians, dantian, and acupoints.

Looking at these pills, Luo Chen was thoughtful.

At the Dao Debate Platform previously, Gao Tingyuan’s Dantian was injured, an event that occurred publicly.

If the Dantian is damaged, it implies hope for Foundation Establishment is lost.

Gao Tingyuan presumably couldn’t stand it and secretly bought many healing pills in an attempt to repair his Dantian.

“Now they come in handy. Big Brother Qin, Caiyi and the others exhausted their spirit power yesterday and suffered a lot of damage to their meridians. Distributing some to each of them can help in this emergency.”

As for other cultivation pills, Luo Chen also divided those he needed and didn’t need.

Afterwards, he looked at another pile of items.

A wine gourd, an Ocean Swallowing Jar, several array flags, a Talisman, and several books.

There were a lot of odd bits and pieces that almost confused Luo Chen.

He picked up one of the books and began to read.

“Biography of Gu Yue”

“Is this an autobiography? Who is Gu Yue?”

Out of curiosity, Luo Chen opened the book and began to speed read.

[I, Gu Yue, was born in the year 3179 of the Mountain Sea Calendar, had a wealthy childhood, my father was strict, my mother was kind, and I have seven elder brothers and sisters who cared for me.]

[However, the world is unpredictable, thieves coveted my family’s property, they destroyed my family and killed all members, only I survived.]

The autobiography was long and wordy.

Some points of it were even confusing and incoherent.

Luo Chen found it quite boring until the author, Gu Yue, stepped into the Immortal Cultivation World, and then he became interested.

What was the Immortal Cultivation World like more than two hundred years ago?

Was it more prosperous and peaceful, or more difficult and harsh?

[In the battle of Tianlan Immortal City, they clearly bullied me with their numbers. In the end, they labeled me as a demon practitioner, and the three major clans wanted me.]

[I couldn’t accept that, I escaped and fought all the way, killed many pursuers, and finally arrived in Liuguang District.]

[Compared to the Immortal City, although the district is poorer, there are not that many strong cultivators, I can finally calmly cultivate.]

[However, the world is cold, immortal cultivation is difficult.]

[In my early years in order to seek revenge, I practiced martial skills that allowed quick progress, which resulted in a deficit in my bodily Original Source. The cultivation techniques I practiced were edited by the Great Sect and key contents were removed. In the end, I could not break the Foundation Establishment and set foot on the path of The Great Dao.]

Up to this point, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel a lot.

The hardship of a rogue cultivator is not as simple as it sounds.

Cultivation requires wealth, companions, techniques, and location.

Without wealth, there are insufficient resources to cultivate.

Without companions, there will be no friends to learn from, leading to a narrow-minded perspective.

Without techniques, it’s hard to inspect the mechanism of heaven, and step onto the path of The Great Dao.

Without location, one would be like floating duckweed with nothing to rely on. Regardless of daily cultivation or breakthroughs in realms, it would be like walking in mid-air, not feeling stable.

In this “Biography of Gu Yue”, the author’s own difficulties almost exceed that of 99% of rogue cultivators.

When he stepped into the Cultivation World, he naturally didn’t have wealth, companions, techniques, or location, only passion.

But in this world, passion is of no use.

In the end, he stepped onto the path that rogue cultivators tread on most easily.

After Gu Yue escaped from the so-called Tian Lan Immortal City to Liuguang District, he finally gloriously became a Calamity Cultivator!

In this way, finances were secured, loot is also wealth!

After wandering for many years, escaping everywhere, he also found several places suitable for cultivation.

However, the deficit in his body and the incompleteness of his techniques continued to block his breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment stage.

Later on, when Gu Yue learned about the three obstacles of Foundation Establishment, he became even more desperate.

His body and spirit did not meet the requirements in both aspects.

But the world doesn’t leave one without a path. He plundered a partial technique from a rogue cultivator, and in the end, developed his other strength to an outstanding level through an alternative path.

“Cultivating the soul?”

Luo Chen fell into thought, flipping to the last page.

[I’ve finally made it. I, the lone cultivator, have made it!]

[By cultivating 999 souls, merging them into one, I finally stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm, hahaha…]

The biography ended in rapturous joy.

Luo Chen didn’t know whether the rogue cultivator Gu Yue who made a name for himself in the Soul Cultivation path ended up dead or alive.

He just knew that Gu Yue took a completely different route from most people.

He didn’t have a highly endowed body, nor did he have extremely pure Spirit Power, not even a single Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, he still achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm!

“Path of Soul Foundation Establishment?”

Luo Chen licked his dry lips, a surging impulse stirred within him.

Although there were no details mentioned in the biography.

It described in general that Gu Yue had adopted a method called ‘The Path of Soul Foundation Establishment’ from a rogue cultivator, killing 999 Late Stage Qi Refinement Cultivators, and merged their souls into himself.

Ultimately, he took an alternative path and stepped into Foundation Establishment.

“Does such a method exist in this world?”

Suddenly, Luo Chen thought of Gao Tingyuan’s desperate last strike.

Those bright, green eyes.

“Gao Tingyuan’s Dantian was broken. According to the regular way, it’s impossible to break through Foundation Establishment even with Foundation Establishment Pills.”

“This can be seen from the fact that he bought so many Spirit Medicines that rejuvenate meridians and repair the Dantian, yet he still left more than half..”
