I Have a Compass for Opportunity

"As long as money can solve it, it’s not a problem."

"Money is not as important as life."

Liou Yuan thought so, lovingly stroking the Longevity Skill jade scroll in his hand.

Suddenly, Liou Yuan’s hand stiffened while rubbing the jade scroll, his pupils slightly constricted, as if he remembered something.

He felt like he had missed something, but couldn’t recall what it was at the moment.

"Wait!" Liou Yuan suddenly stood up from the ground, with a face full of uncertainty, thinking: "This Longevity Scripture was found on that ancient cultivator’s remains, could it be that she practiced the Longevity Scripture during her lifetime?"

"She must be dead, but to what extent did she cultivate the Longevity Scripture? Could she have already condensed the longevity seed?"

"Could she possibly have a chance of resurrection!"

This is a major issue, especially since the female ancient cultivator’s remains are still in Liou Yuan’s storage bag.

If the ancient cultivator did condense the longevity seed, who knows when she might emerge, then what should he do?

After all, he had stripped her of all her belongings, who could tolerate that?

"No, I need to quickly find a place to bury her." Liou Yuan’s instinctive reaction was to find a place to bury her as soon as possible.

Anyhow, his original intention when taking the remains was to choose a auspicious underground burial site, as a trade-off for taking her belongings.

Now that he knows about the longevity seed, Liou Yuan is even less likely to keep her by his side.

After all, she was at the Foundation Establishment stage, and still an ancient cultivator at that, even if her power was weakened by the longevity seed, it would still take just a snap of her fingers to kill someone at the Qi Cultivation stage like himself.

After a moment of contemplation, Liou Yuan patted the storage bag on his waist, and the ancient cultivator’s body appeared in his secluded room.

She was still wearing the white long robe Liou Yuan had put on her, originally male clothing, but it didn’t seem out of place on her at all.

Under butterfly-like eyelashes, her eyes were quietly closed, serene and gentle, not resembling a corpse but more like a sleeping beauty in slumber.

Liou Yuan was not deceived by the appearance of the female cultivator, the person before him was a genuine Foundation Establishment ancient cultivator.

He rushed to activate the Evil Eyes and started examining the remains.

After all these long years, the Spiritual Qi within the remains had long been exhausted, Liou Yuan didn’t see any peculiarities, nor any signs of the longevity seed as documented in the Longevity Scripture.

"With Foundation Establishment techniques, even if the longevity seed is condensed, I still can’t spot it."

"Better to prepare for the worst," Liou Yuan muttered.

Already starting to think about where to bury the body.

"For the longevity seed to sprout, it requires a place rich in Spiritual Qi. Such a place is not easy to find."

In Liou Yuan’s knowledge, the most dense Spiritual Qi place he knew was Five Extremes Mountain, especially the inner sect of Five Extremes Mountain.

But clearly, the high-level officials of Five Extremes Mountain would not allow Liou Yuan to bury a corpse in the inner sect, especially a corpse that might revive at any moment.

The most crucial point is, Liou Yuan himself cannot even get into the inner sect.

"So Five Extremes Mountain is out," Liou Yuan shrugged his shoulders.

"I can only look for another place."

This is also a good thing, at least the activation conditions for the longevity seed are very stringent, he doesn’t have to worry about the female cultivator suddenly coming back to life for the moment.

As for why Liou Yuan doesn’t choose to destroy the body directly or randomly bury it somewhere, it’s because he wasn’t yet a purely wicked person.

After benefiting from someone, to then cut off their path to resurrection, such heartless actions he could not bring himself to do.

"Senior, I’ll keep your remains for the time being, when the right moment comes, I’ll choose a place rich in Spiritual Qi for you."

Liou Yuan respectfully bowing before the ancient cultivator’s remains, then places it back into the storage ring.

Meanwhile, thoughts about the Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing become active again.

"This senior died at the Cyan Feather Gui Character Crossing, she must have been a witness of that calamity back then, if she could be revived, she’d surely know a lot about the secrets of that place."

"That ghost ship, who knows what it contains, perhaps she understands it better than those Foundation Establishment Star Erosion cultivators."

But why would a dignified Foundation Establishment share secrets of the Gui Character Crossing with a junior at the Qi Cultivation stage like himself?

After all, he was the thief who stripped her of all her possessions.

If she didn’t deal with him, then he’d already be thanking his lucky stars.

So after pondering for a moment, Liou Yuan smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it, once a good place has been chosen, let’s not meet again."

The Longevity Scripture was carefully stored away by Liou Yuan, placed together with the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill he had selected earlier from the Inner Sect Skill Pavilion, residing now in the storage bag.

The Longevity Scripture, he was definitely going to cultivate it, it’s a Grade B Top-grade cultivation technique, one that can’t be easily found even throughout Cyan Feather Realm, Liou Yuan certainly wouldn’t miss such an opportunity.

Of course, the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill also needed to be cultivated.

Firstly, the Longevity Scripture’s grade was too high, in general, Liou Yuan would not show it casually, lest it bring about a calamity.

And the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill would then serve as a good cover for disguising the Longevity Scripture.

He’d openly cultivate the Geng Metal Refining Form Skill, and secretly train in the Longevity Scripture to ensure safety.

Anyway, Liou Yuan currently has three Star Acupoints, theoretically able to cultivate three Foundation Establishment techniques.

Previously he thought it was troublesome, now with a cultivation technique like the Longevity Scripture, these minor troubles are trivial.

"The Geng Metal Refining Form Skill is originally a Grade C Top-grade technique, among so many Foundation Establishment techniques at Five Extremes Mountain, it ranks within the top ten, not bad in itself."
