96: Lucky star!

In his previous life, if Zhou Yang were in northern Myanmar, he would at least be a pyramid scheme leader.

However, as the saying goes, 'Misfortune is what fortune leans on; fortune is what misfortune lurks under.'

Fate is unpredictable, Karma is uncertain, and it was truly not easy for Zhou Yang to reach this point.

Although he encountered the Poisonous Dragon Gang, it also allowed him to meet him.

Otherwise, in the vast Immortal City, Lu Ming might not have noticed a small Qi Refining Stage Cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining.

After all, he was already aiming for Foundation Establishment, and his attention, apart from a few people around him, rarely focused on low-level Cultivators.

"Senior, did you save me?"

As soon as Zhou Yang finished speaking, he asked the question he most wanted to know.

Seeing Lu Ming nod, he asked in a low voice again.

"Then, Senior, do you know what happened to my companions who were with me?"

Although Zhou Yang gathered them for the purpose of sharing risks and, more importantly, for his own safety.

It did not prevent them from developing some feelings over the past few months.

If possible, Zhou Yang did not wish for anything to happen to them either.

However, Lu Ming fell silent upon hearing this.

"Ah? Were there other people?"

At that time, he only paid attention to Zhou Yang; he didn't care about the others at all.

When he took Zhou Yang away, it was even less likely that he would take them with him.

As for the fate of those people, it was imaginable.

The banquet hall was destroyed; perhaps their belongings could still be found by searching the Storage Pouch of his main body.

Seeing that 'Wu Daoren' did not speak, Zhou Yang's eyes dimmed slightly.

However, he said nothing, nor would he blame Wu Daoren.

It was a great fortune that he could save his own life; others could only resign themselves to fate.

Then, he thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

Zhou Yang tentatively asked, "Senior, do you still want Demonic Path Cultivation Technique?"

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow; judging by his tone, he had news of a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique?

However, he didn't take it seriously; now that he even had a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique, ordinary Demonic Technique wouldn't catch his eye.

Moreover, Zhou Yang's attitude still made him very satisfied; at least Zhou Yang was very attentive to his affairs.

And when Zhou Yang saw that 'Wu Daoren' was interested, he quickly went to look for his Storage Pouch.

But after searching around and not finding it, his face fell.

He forgot that his Storage Pouch had already been taken by those people.

"Se... Senior, my... my Storage Pouch... is gone."

Lu Ming also saw his embarrassment but was not angry; he just curved his lips slightly.

'Hehe, it's not lost.'

After clarifying the appearance of his Storage Pouch, his consciousness returned to his main body.

Looking at the old Storage Pouch in his hand, Lu Ming began to erase the magical power imprint on it.

It didn't take much effort and was easily undone.

His spiritual sense probed into it, only to find that there was pitifully little inside.

All he saw were a dozen Spirit Stones and a few Talismans.

Honestly, if the Spirit Stones inside had fallen on the ground, Lu Ming might not even bother to bend down to pick them up.

Now he had so many Spirit Stones that he couldn't even spend them all.

He used to need to spend money to buy waste pills and materials for Cultivation, but now his Cultivation resources were mainly obtained from Cultivators.

However, this was only temporary; after Breaking Through to the Foundation Establishment Stage, the required resources would become scarce.

It was impossible to continue hunting Cultivators for Cultivation as he did today.

After all, Foundation Establishment Cultivators were not cabbages, and there would be many places where Spirit Stones would be needed then.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Lu Ming continued to look through the Storage Pouch.

Finally, he found a Jade Slip and a yellowed, ancient, incomplete map.

Originally, Lu Ming didn't take it seriously, only thinking it was a Demonic Path Cultivation Technique that Zhou Yang had accidentally obtained, and its grade wouldn't be too high.

But when he clearly saw the content on the incomplete map, his eyes widened instantly.

Although the incomplete map was damaged and had probably gone through many years, the patterns on it were already somewhat faded.

But it didn't prevent Lu Ming from recognizing its content at a glance.

What he saw was a figure wearing a lotus crown, sitting on a lotus platform.

It was as pure as jade, holding a finger with its left hand, and holding a jade pure bottle with its right hand.

"Yin Lotus Mother-Child Twin Birth Method! No, this method should be called 'Golden Lotus Heavenly Mother Twin Birth Method,' which is a visualization method. Is this the visualization diagram?"

Lu Ming was too familiar with it; his own Yin Lotus Clone was derived from this method.

Moreover, this Divine Soul method was also obtained from Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang wouldn't trick him with something he had already given.

Then...

Lu Ming looked at the Jade Slip in his hand, his eyes filled with anticipation.

When Lu Ming's spiritual sense surged into it, a familiar yet strange method appeared in his mind.

It was familiar because it was indeed the 'Yin Lotus Mother-Child Twin Birth Method.'

It was strange because it was no longer just a first-order Soul Dao Spell, but a genuine second-order Cultivation Technique!

At the same time, in addition to nurturing a soul seed and giving birth to a Clone, this method could also plant a soul seed in a Cultivator's Sea of Consciousness to control them.

When the soul seed took root, sprouted, blossomed, and bore fruit, it would be harvested to nourish oneself.

Moreover, the soul seed also had a function similar to a soul imprint, equivalent to a control method.

The more Lu Ming read, the brighter his eyes became.

It was truly a case of 'searching high and low for something, only to find it effortlessly.'

He had long wanted to find a subsequent second-order Soul Dao secret method and had even regretted that his Clone could only be used during the Qi Refining Stage.

This Zhou Yang was simply a lucky star!

But where did he get this method from?

Lu Ming remembered that when he Cultivated the 'Yin Lotus Mother-Child Twin Birth Method,' a name had appeared in the golden book.

He remembered that this person was called [Meng Yang].

At that time, he suspected that this person's dissemination of Soul Dao methods was a conspiracy.

And combining the information from this Jade Slip, it was not difficult to see that Meng Yang disseminated the Cultivation Technique to have other Cultivators collect Soul Power for him to Cultivate.

Meng Yang only needed to wait for the flowers to bloom and bear fruit, and then go and pick the fruits.

He even had the idea of controlling Cultivators to do things for him.

Unfortunately, he was later the first to be sacrificed by Lu Ming to the Clone, and the so-called conspiracy became a joke.

However, Lu Ming was actually still a little worried, after all, he had taken an unconventional path and did not completely Cultivate according to the content of the Cultivation Technique.

Others used the Cultivator's Divine Soul as nourishment to Cultivate a Clone, while Lu Ming used his own Divine Soul to feed the Clone, merely transferring the side effects out.

Although after condensing the Clone, it also 'ate' many Cultivators' Divine Souls, it was still unknown whether there were any hidden dangers.

Now, after seeing the complete version of the 'Yin Lotus Mother-Child Twin Birth Method' and the visualization diagram.

Lu Ming realized that he had stumbled upon the right path by accident.

Moreover, his Clone was cultivated with his own Divine Soul as its Foundation, and its consciousness was one with his, so there were no hidden dangers.

At the same time, his Cultivation had no side effects; the Divine Souls he consumed were filtered, leaving only the most essential Soul Power.

"How wonderful ~"

Lu Ming was in a great mood.

The Clone was too important to him; killing and setting fires all required the Clone to do, which was his greatest confidence in being able to sit back and relax.

Now with the continuation, at least during the Foundation Establishment Stage, Lu Ming could still rest easy and hide behind the scenes.

"I need to give Zhou Yang a raise!"

Lu Ming had already planned to arrange for Zhou Yang to go to Ink Talisman Pavilion to recover from his injuries.

Now it seems he still couldn't treat him poorly.

Lu Ming decided that he would cover all of Zhou Yang's resources before Foundation Establishment; it wouldn't cost much anyway.

Now that Zhou Yang's Cultivation couldn't keep up, it seemed useless, but who knows, maybe one day he would give him another surprise?
