BXBX NOVEL Chapter 115: 115 What is the Son of Fortune?
After multiple simulations, Lu Changsheng knew that Joyous Union Sect planned to kidnap his disciples to lure him away from Mount Shu and then set a trap to catch him.
Besides making an enemy of the Holy Maiden from Joyous Union Sect, they were most likely coveting his Immortal Artifact, hence this scheme.
True to the nature of the Demon Sects, they were sinister and crafty.
However, having discovered Joyous Union Sect’s conspiracy in advance, Lu Changsheng found it much easier to handle.
“Since Joyous Union Sect has set a trap for my third disciple, they might also target my fourth disciple.”
After simulating the future of his third disciple, Lu Changsheng began to simulate the future of his fourth disciple.
[Ding, you have started simulating the life of the disciple “Shen Xiaoyao”.] [Remaining simulations for today -1.]

[After the Demon Tribe is repelled, the princess of Yue Country falls in love with Shen Xiaoyao for his righteous deeds.]
[…]
[Simulation ends.]
Lu Changsheng is left agape.
What does it mean to be a Son of Fortune?
All sorts of fortuitous encounters, turning misfortunes into fortunes, wherever he goes someone is there to help; that is a Son of Fortune!
How does it matter if he started with mediocre talent?
This disciple might be the one Lu Changsheng worries about the least.
“Among the four disciples, Shen Xiaoyao is the luckiest, Lin Qingzhi and Lu Qinglian have average luck, while Mo Huazhi has the worst luck. As for their achievements, each has their own strengths.”
“I needn’t intervene too much in the lives of my four disciples, to avoid disrupting their Qi Destiny.”
Lu Changsheng has a plan in mind.
The Disciple Apprenticeship Simulator only simulates the general direction, but Lu Changsheng can’t see some details or the origins of the noble figures that appear in Shen Xiaoyao’s life.
In three years, Lu Changsheng only needs to concentrate on helping his third disciple, Mo Huazhi, with the Tribulation, while the fourth disciple will have the aid of noble figures.
Having a Son of Fortune as a disciple is indeed worry-free.
“To confront Joyous Union Sect in three years’ time, I need to undergo Tribulation and break through to the Void Refinement Realm within these three years.”
“In three years, my eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi, should also be able to break through to the Dao Palace Realm. Once he breaks through to the Dao Palace Realm, he may be rewarded with higher-level treasures, and the probability of returning Immortal Artifacts and ninth-grade Immortal Pills increases.” “Lian has the potential to break through to the Dao Palace Realm as well.” “Upon reaching the Dao Palace Realm, the Martial King Divine Physique will reach minor completion. I have used so many Elixir Pills to concoct the Body Refinement Elixir for Lian to temper the divine physique. After the Dao Palace Realm, my disciple will truly be able to exert his strength.”
Lu Changsheng couldn’t help but look forward to everyone’s progress in three years.
After a disciple steps into the Dao Palace Realm, they can be rewarded with higher-level Elixir Pills, Talismans, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, and Innate Spirit Treasures.
In the Void Refinement Realm, one can endure the medicinal strength of eighth-grade Elixir Pills, exert the full power of eighth-grade Talismans, and activate the lower-grade Immortal Artifacts without only having the strength for one strike.
In short, compared to the Dao Palace Realm, the Void Refinement Realm possesses a tremendous improvement.
In the next three years, Lu Changsheng devoted all his effort to prepare for the assault on the Void Refinement Realm and to accumulate advanced Elixir Pills for later cultivation of the lower-grade Immortal Body Refinement Method, “Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills.”
The “Nine Revolutions Divine Demon Body Refining Skills” require a large number of seventh-grade and above Elixir Pills, the more, the better.
The Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques that Lu Changsheng cultivates include the “Supreme Purity Limitless Technique,” “Nine Dragons Refinement Technique,” “True Martial Nine Forms,” and “Tiangang Sword Formation.” To cultivate each of these Heaven Rank Techniques to Great Perfection takes a massive amount of energy.
My eldest disciple, Lin Qingzhi, also focuses on cultivation at Qingyun Peak to assault the Dao Palace Realm.
Advancing to a higher major realm is prone to failure, and just like Lu Changsheng, Lin Qingzhi believes in solid accumulation and steady progress to constantly solidify his realm.
Lu Changsheng prematurely rewarded Lin Qingzhi with a sixth-grade Elixir Pill, “Soul Nourishing Pill.”
The Soul Nourishing Pill can be used in the Nascent Soul Realm to nourish the soul, strengthen the Nascent Soul, and reduce the risk of breaking through to the Dao Palace Realm.
The system returned a seventh-grade Elixir Pill, “Entering Void Pill.”
The Entering Void Pill can only be used in the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm to solidify the Dao Palace, catch a glimpse of the Void Realm, and aid in withstanding the Threefold Heavenly Tribulation.
The returned Elixir Pills are precisely what Lu Changsheng needs for his tribulation.
Lu Qinglian travels between Qingyun Peak and Fire Lotus Peak.
Fire Lotus Peak has Earth Fire, beneficial for cultivating the “Fire Lotus True Scripture,” as Lu Qinglian cultivates more strands of Fire Lotus True Qi.
Lu Changsheng prepares a Body Refinement Elixir for Lu Qinglian every month, continuing to temper the Martial King Divine Physique.
As Lu Qinglian’s cultivation level grows higher and the Martial King Divine Physique becomes increasingly domineering, the elders of various peaks find themselves in more distress.
After Shen Xiaoyao became a disciple, with Lu Changsheng’s power-infusing initiation, he stepped into the Qi Transformation Realm within a month, learned Sword Flight, and followed his second senior sister to challenge the Qi Transformation Realm disciples of various peaks.
As time passed day by day, Lu Changsheng’s True Qi grew more and more profound, bringing him to the peak of the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm. The eldest senior brother had spent several decades at the peak of the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm to ensure a guaranteed success before stepping into the Void Refinement Realm.
Lu Changsheng took five years to consolidate his realm, his True Qi even more imposing than that of the eldest senior brother at the ninth layer of the Dao Palace Realm.
Over these three years, Lu Changsheng accumulated another batch of treasures. Currently, Lu Changsheng has amassed 10 eighth-grade Elixir Pills, 120 seventh-grade Elixir Pills, 4 eighth-grade Talismans, and 45 seventh-grade Talismans, with two of the eighth-grade Talismans being “Divine Thunder Exorcism Charms.”
While cultivating the “Tiangang Sword Formation,” Lu Changsheng did not forget to reward his disciples with Flying Swords, successively acquiring seven Innate Spiritual Treasure Flying Swords, totalling twelve. Among them is only one upper-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Flying Sword, which is the True Martial Sword. There are three middle-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure Flying Swords, and the remaining eight are lower-grade.
Twelve Innate Spiritual Treasure Flying Swords form the second layer of the “Tiangang Sword Formation,” which is extremely powerful.
The probabilities of returning Immortal Artifacts, ninth-grade Immortal Pills, and ninth-grade Talismans are still extremely low.
Lu Changsheng is not in a rush; he is waiting for his eldest disciple Lin Qingzhi to break through to the Dao Palace Realm.
“It’s time to seek the Sect Leader and ask for advice on experiencing the tribulation.”
After staying in the Dao Palace Realm for five years and feeling confident of an assured victory, Lu Changsheng was finally ready for his tribulation.
