CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 172, 4TH ERA: S-LEVEL TALENT, EYE OF TRUTH!

"Hiss!"

Only to see, under the protection of Innate Qi.

The mysterious forces hidden in the air vanished instantly like spring snow under the fiery sun, unable to penetrate Lu Yuan’s body in the slightest!

At the same time.

The prompt from the Will of the Heavens sounded again.

[Heaven-defying Fate Change: You have condensed Innate Qi to avoid being eroded by the forces of this realm, changing your fate of corruption and downfall!]

[Simulation Evaluation elevated to D-level!]

[Main Quest Completion: 5%]

[You have gained 1000 million Simulation Points!]

[You have acquired the S-level Talent, Eye of Truth!]

[Eye of Truth]: Everything in this world is an illusion. You can see through all disguises and perceive the truth of this world!

"Just condensing a wisp of innate Qi increased the main quest progress by 5%?"

Lu Yuan’s pupils slightly trembled.

He was indeed right; that mysterious power was omnipresent, harboring a great terror. If it were allowed to invade the body, the consequences would be unimaginable.

This was because Lu Yuan possessed [Heaven-defying Comprehension], able to comprehend the method of utilizing innate Qi right from birth.

Otherwise, if it were another Simulator, they would likely fall into a situation beyond redemption at the start!

Then.

The S-level Talent [Eye of Truth] activated.

A golden light fleetingly radiated from Lu Yuan’s eyes, causing some earth-shattering changes to his entire being.

When he opened his eyes to look at the world again, his face changed dramatically, filled with shock and horror!

Because, with the support of the [Eye of Truth] talent.

All illusions and disguises in this realm shattered like bubbles before him, revealing their truest nature!

To outsiders, the spiritual energy of these heavens and earth was abundant, resources were plentiful, making it the best place for cultivation.

Anyone with a bit of cultivation talent could become a Qi Refining Cultivator within ten years, achieve Foundation Establishment in thirty years, and hope for the Golden Core Dao in a hundred years!

However, from Lu Yuan’s perspective, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that all cultivators cherished was murky and filthy, the source of all mysteries and calamities.

Especially as this spiritual energy seemed to possess life, capable of eroding and twisting all biological beings and matter in the world!

Though mortals have no spirit root, unable to actively absorb spiritual energy.

Years of subtle influence by the spiritual energy would leave them riddled with ailments, with severe cases inducing grotesque blood and flesh distortion, resulting in various unpredictable changes!

Lu Yuan lay in the swaddling cloth, his big, bright black eyes staring at the midwife.

From the outside, except for being short-statured with a hunchback-like large hump on her back, she didn’t look much different from a normal person.

But in truth, her internal organs seemed hollowed by some biological being, long riddled with gaping wounds.

The lump on her back was rotten and festering inside, full of pus, making one nauseous and disgusted with just a glance.

And the other people in the room mostly had deformed limbs, plagued with diseases, yet they could move freely, performing actions indistinguishable from ordinary people!

"Even mere mortals are so bizarre; those cultivators and immortals must be even more twisted, no wonder the Will of the Heavens considers this world on the brink of destruction."

Lu Yuan forcibly suppressed the disgust in his heart and silently withdrew his gaze.

The relationship between the Heavenly Dao Will and all living beings is such that their fates are intertwined, sharing glory and downfall alike.

When it falls into corruption and degeneration, even the simplest existence, like an ant, undergoes unforeseen changes.

"Wait!" Lu Yuan suddenly realized a serious problem.

"Since this polluted spiritual energy is everywhere, doesn’t that mean..."

He hurriedly lowered his head to examine his own body and indeed found faint remnants of polluted spiritual energy in some almost imperceptible corners of his body!

Although Lu Yuan comprehended the method of using ’innate Qi’ right at birth to avoid being influenced by Postnatal Muddy Qi.

However, the ten-month pregnancy process, developing from an embryo to a baby, inevitably required absorbing nutrition and energy from the outside world.

This means.

While still in the womb, before being born, he had already been inevitably eroded!

Moreover, this polluted spiritual energy had penetrated deep into the marrow, becoming part of Lu Yuan’s body that even the innate Qi couldn’t expel!

"Although innate Qi can fend off the erosion of external spiritual energy, it cannot mend this congenital flaw."

Lu Yuan helplessly said.

From a certain perspective, this is the original sin innate to all living beings in this realm.

Only by reversing destiny and changing fate can one completely rid themselves of this polluted spiritual energy.

Moreover, innate Qi can only be used to preserve life. If Lu Yuan wishes to cultivate, he must find a way to transform this spiritual energy into absorbable energy.

However, this matter is too complicated, and Lu Yuan currently has no clue.

What’s more, he was just born. Even though his soul is far more powerful than ordinary people’s, at this moment he couldn’t help but feel a wave of drowsiness approaching.

In the comforting voices of his parents, Lu Yuan fell into a deep sleep, temporarily setting this matter aside.

In the blink of an eye.

Lu Yuan was half a month old.

Due to the fact that everything in this world has been contaminated by polluted spiritual energy, normal people’s food to Lu Yuan seemed even more terrifying than something highly poisonous.

This also means.

As soon as he eats anything, he would be polluted and corrupted.

But if he does not eat for a long time, or use innate Qi to purify all the polluted spiritual energy, Lu Yuan would be unable to replenish any nutrients and energy, and his body would only become weaker and weaker.

Fortunately, relying on the innate Qi gathered at birth, he can still hold out for a while; otherwise, he would have starved to death already.

"Husband, what should we do if Yuan’Er doesn’t eat? Is he ill?"

Mother Lu was anxious with worry, so much that she couldn’t sleep for several days.

Father Lu was also sighing, not knowing what to do.

Both of them tried every possible way, attempting to feed Lu Yuan a small sip of milk, but it was quickly spit out by Lu Yuan.

Because this breast milk, though it seemed sweet and delicious, was in fact extremely foul and stinky.

However, Lu Yuan couldn’t resist his parents completely, so he had to reluctantly drink a small sip, then hurriedly used innate Qi to purify all the polluted spiritual energy.

But in doing so.

All energy and nutrients also disappeared, providing no replenishment to Lu Yuan’s physical strength.

"This won’t do. Could it be that I, a mere Bright Moon strong person, will actually starve to death in this world?"

Lu Yuan was so hungry that his eyes glowed green, and a trace of regret welled up in his heart.

Since he became a Simulator, this was the first time he encountered such a nightmare-like hellish start.

Until a few days later, this matter finally saw a turning point.

At the entrance of Niu Family Village.

free\NovelBin.c o(m)

A high monk dressed in a yellow robe walked into the village, setting up a simple tent to provide free medical treatment for the villagers for three days.

The news caused a sensation throughout Niu Family Village.

After inquiries by many villagers, it was learned that the high monk was Master Pu Xuan of the Medicine Buddha Sect.

He traveled the world, practicing medicine and alleviating difficulties everywhere, accumulating immeasurable power of merit.

Upon hearing this news.

Father Lu immediately took Lu Yuan in his arms, kneeling before Master Pu Xuan.

"Master, please save my child!"

"No need to panic, layperson. A monk is compassionate; how could I stand by and watch people die?"

Master Pu Xuan, with kind eyes and kind face, carefully examined Lu Yuan and a trace of surprise flashed across his face.

Because in his perception.

This dying infant had extraordinarily good bones, that even many disciples of the Buddhist Sect were inferior to him.

It’s just a pity that Lu Yuan had just been born not long ago, and his bones had not yet fully developed, making it impossible to know what his exact talent and spirit root are.

"Is this the high monk from the Medicine Buddha Sect?"

Lu Yuan discreetly examined Master Pu Xuan with two glances, restrained his innate Qi, and tried hard to appear harmless.

According to the script of his life experience.

He fell weak and sickly shortly after his birth, but luckily he was aided by a high monk, allowing him to grow up smoothly and embark on the path of cultivation.

Sure enough, just like in the simulated storyline.

Master Pu Xuan folded his hands in a Buddhist gesture, recited a Buddhist prayer, then took out paper and pen and wrote a prescription.

"Amitabha Buddha, this layperson has an affinity with our Buddhist Sect."

"This is the Body Tempering Prescription of our Medicine Buddha Sect, which consists of some common medicinal materials but has the effect of transforming decay into magic."

"You can take this prescription to the medical shop in town to get the medicine, drink it once every three days, and as long as you persist in it long-term, you can strengthen your body and be free from all diseases!"

Upon hearing this, Father Lu was overjoyed and carefully took the prescription from Master Pu Xuan’s hands.

Then he went to town overnight to get the medicine.

"Ugh..."

But when Lu Yuan saw the medicinal soup, cooled after being brewed, he almost vomited on the spot!

Because the medicinal soup, which seemed aromatic, was in fact a bowl of foul and polluted slime.

And there were even many insects twisting and wriggling inside!
