Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World

Chapter 31 - 31: Aurora Swordsmanship, Divine Blade

At this moment, Jiang Fan had already left that house and was heading home.

”Sure enough, in chaotic times, you still need strength.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fists.

He hadnʼt expected that staying peacefully in the village, he almost got involved in this life-or-death situation.

If he hadnʼt demonstrated his strength to Song Fugui and the others, he couldnʼt have escaped so easily.

He would have been drawn into their ranks and forced to pledge allegiance long ago.

By then, what happens would be beyond his control.

Therefore, he still needed to constantly enhance his strength until no power could harm or threaten him.

In chaotic times, power is the most important.

Everything else is illusory.

To be honest, he had considered killing.

But the repercussions of eliminating Song Fugui and his men were too great.

If he still wished to reside in Osmanthus Village, he couldnʼt do such things.

Of course, if they continued to meddle, he couldnʼt be blamed for defending himself.

Boom~

Just then, a message emerged from the depths of his mind: ”You refused Song Fuguiʼs invitation, avoiding trouble, successfully passing a deadly calamity, and gained an Eighth-Grade Opportunity, 150 Luck Points.”

”It was a deadly calamity?”

Perceiving this message, Jiang Fan was both surprised and delighted. He had long known the risks of Song Fugui and his menʼs actions but hadnʼt imagined it was a deadly calamity.

Fortunately, he was very cautious and didnʼt rashly agree.

Otherwise, who knows what might have happened.

Indeed, in this chaotic world, danger lurks everywhere. A moment of carelessness might lead to a trap.

But now he had gained an Eighth-Grade Opportunity, which would surely bring him considerable benefits.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan lightly tapped the opportunity light point, and another piece of information emerged: ”At midnight tomorrow, go to an uninhabited island on Yunmeng Lake to dig and obtain the Eighth-Grade Opportunity.”

The island reef of Yunmeng Lake?

Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, for Yunmeng Lake was vast, 800 miles in total.

To ordinary people, itʼs endless.

Within the depths of Yunmeng Lake, many islands and reefs exist, along with some uninhabited islands.

If some islands concealed treasures, it wouldnʼt be impossible.

After all, this lake once had numerous legendary stories.

”Well, whatever opportunity it is, Iʼll know at midnight tomorrow.”

Jiang Fan felt a stirring in his heart and opened his virtual panel.

[Name: Jiang Fan]

[Life Chart: Great Blessings Equal to Heaven, Attribute: Survive great disasters, fortune follows]

[Lifespan: 70]

[Luck Points: 220]

[Cultivation Technique: Soaring Snake Technique (Incomplete), Second Layer]

[Skills: Fishing: Skilled]

[Disguise Technique: Skilled][Caoʼs Poison Scripture: Mastery]

[Realm: Refining Flesh Realm (60%)]

Clearly, his Luck Points already reached 220.

If it reaches 300 points, he could advance his cultivation further and become a Strong Sinews Realm Martial Artist.

By then, his strength would surely be enhanced.

His fishing skills also reached the Skilled Level.

He didnʼt use Luck Points to improve it.

It was purely due to his increased physical fitness, coupled with frequent fishing, that his skill level improved to Skilled, almost reaching Mastery.

Before long, Jiang Fan returned home.

”Husband, what did Uncle Fugui want with you?”

Su Weiwei asked curiously.

”Nothing much, just wanted to discuss a business partnership.”

”But I didnʼt agree and refused Uncle Fugui.”

Jiang Fan said casually.

Though there werenʼt many secrets between him and Su Weiwei, discussing this matter would only worry her.

Better to let it rest as if nothing happened.

”Alright, husband, the meal is ready, letʼs eat together.”

Su Weiwei nodded, not taking the matter to heart.

The couple sat down and warmly enjoyed their lunch.

......

Another day passed.

At midnight, silence enveloped the surroundings.

Following the opportunity hint, Jiang Fan set out at night on an Upturned Boat and arrived at the uninhabited island.

The island wasnʼt very large, only several hundred square meters. He arrived and began digging with an iron shovel, eventually uncovering a long, simple wooden box.

Inside the box lay a Treasure Sword, sharp as iron and named Chengying Sword.

The swordʼs body was crafted from intertwined black jade and metal, resembling an elegant Black Dragon that captivated. The hilt was carved from White Jade, with smooth, natural lines that pleased the eye.

The sword was engraved with the word Chengying.

Once unsheathed, it emitted terrifying sword light, seemingly unstoppable.

No doubt, this was a Divine Blade.

”So powerful.”

Jiang Fan held the Chengying Sword, easily slicing a stone in half, the cut smooth, as if with no effort.

Such a sharp Treasure Sword, even a Martial Artist couldnʼt withstand it.

A single thrust could pierce a Martial Artistʼs body effortlessly.

Any Martial Artist wielding this Divine Blade would be tremendously empowered.

Their combat strength would increase multifold.

”Thereʼs even a Sword Dao Secret Manual here.”

”Named Aurora Swordsmanship.”

Jiang Fan clenched his fists, marking his first acquisition of Sword Dao techniques, definitely an exceptionally high-grade sword skill.

The principle of this swordsmanship was simple—speed, incredibly fast.

As long as one maximizes the speed of sword strikes, the sword light flashes, and itʼs unstoppable, opponents wouldnʼt be able to resist and would be slain instantly.

If one could cultivate this swordsmanship to Perfection Level, the sword flickers like countless rays.

Where the sword light reaches, chaos ensues.

Wielding Chengying Sword, one could strike within the army, killing without rival.

Without a doubt, this was from a Sword Dao Grandmasterʼs legacy.

But which Sword Dao Grandmaster left their lifelong knowledge here remains unknown.

If not for his Great Blessings Equal to Heaven Life Chart, he might not have obtained such an opportunity.

”This swordsmanship is very powerful.”

”If I can master it, itʼll definitely enhance my combat strength.”

”Moreover, I have a Space Ring to store Chengying Sword.”

”Bringing it out at key moments would surely surprise the enemy.”

Jiang Fan didnʼt hesitate and spent twenty Luck Points to master the Aurora Swordsmanship.

Boom~~~

Instantly, the secret manual vanished without a trace, seemingly transforming into information that entered deep into his consciousness.

In his mind appeared a Sword Dao Grandmaster.

The Grandmaster swung a long sword, leaving trails of sword light, filled with boundless killing intent.

Immediately, Jiang Fan felt a mysterious aura arise within him, seemingly modifying his muscular memory.

It was as if he had practiced the swordsmanship for two or three years, finally mastering it.

Thunk!

Right then, Jiang Fan wielded Chengying Sword and thrust swiftly, producing a sound barrier-breaking effect, as if all his inner strength converged into this indomitable strike.
