39: Chapter 39 An Attempt to Decompose Luck!
Fang Yuan touched a wisp of Luck within the Luck of the Cloud Mist Mountain faction and silently chanted, "Decompose!"
A flash of golden light.
That wisp of Luck, under his Eyes of Luck, turned into faint specks of light.
[Ownerless Luck] + [Luck Value]
The next moment, Fang Yuan's own living being Luck generated a suction force, automatically absorbing those specks of light.
Upon careful observation, he could discern that the color of his own Luck had deepened, and one wisp of orange Luck seemed to have become slightly thicker.
"It really can be decomposed, though the change doesn't seem significant."
"Where is that so-called Luck Value? Why can't I see it?"
Fang Yuan pondered as he successively decomposed the Luck of Cloud Mist Mountain, decomposing a full hundred wisps of red Luck in one go.
Finally, his Luck changed, increasing from one hundred twenty wisps to one hundred twenty-one wisps!
Looking at the Luck of Cloud Mist Mountain again, it had visibly decreased by one-third.
"One hundred wisps of red Luck can actually increase my orange Luck by one wisp."
"Wait, if this Luck decreases, will there be any repercussions?"
Fang Yuan stopped his actions and waited for a moment, but he did not see the Luck of Cloud Mist Mountain recover a single wisp.
"It is better not to decompose the Luck of Cloud Mist Mountain anymore; less Luck is definitely not a good thing."
Fang Yuan then looked toward the Sect Luck and the Human Race Luck.
"The Sect and the race only share a tiny bit with me; it won't matter if I decompose those."
Fang Yuan pointed his finger at the Sect Luck.
He saw that wisp of cyan Luck directly disintegrate into a large amount of light specks!
A portion of those light specks actually re-condensed into more than half a wisp of Luck after Decompose, then instantly vanished.
The remaining portion of the Luck light specks were attracted by Fang Yuan's own Luck and rapidly converged toward him.
The quantity of Fang Yuan's Luck surged, skyrocketing from one hundred twenty-one wisps to two hundred forty-two wisps!
Fang Yuan, however, kept his gaze fixed on the spot where the cyan Luck had just disappeared.
"What just happened? It seems the Luck Value re-converged with the ownerless Luck to form an owned Luck, and then instantly returned to its original place!"
Fang Yuan was thoughtful.
"After the Luck Value is decomposed, it is still owned; it autonomously absorbed the ownerless Luck and restored itself into owned Luck! If that is the case, why didn't this happen with the Cloud Mist Mountain Luck? Could it be that the higher the rank of the Luck Value, the stronger its ability to absorb Luck?"
Fang Yuan deduced this conclusion, and it was likely very close to the truth.
He looked at that wisp of Human Race Luck, already guessing the result after Decompose: it would inevitably be instantly re-fused by the Human Race Luck Value into Human Race Luck and then directly vanish.
He did not panic but continued to wait.
A full night passed.
He had been observing the changes in the Luck above his head the entire time.
He only stopped observing when the sun first rose.
Within the span of a day and a night, his own Luck had been continuously decreasing!
In the first hour, it dropped from two hundred forty-two wisps to two hundred thirty-two wisps.
In the second hour, it dropped to two hundred twenty-three wisps.
In the third hour, it dropped to two hundred fifteen wisps.
In the fourth hour, it reached two hundred eight wisps.
It was also at this moment that the sun first rose.
The Cloud Mist Mountain Luck suddenly recovered from two hundred ten wisps to two hundred eleven wisps.
At the same time, the Sect Luck appeared above his head again, and it remained a complete wisp of Luck.
And it was also at this time that his own Luck stopped decreasing, maintaining the level of two hundred eight wisps.
Seeing this scene, Fang Yuan finally revealed a smile: "So it can recover; doesn't that mean I can keep 'wool-shearing' it indefinitely?"
Good things like Luck are naturally the more the better, but he also knew that one must know when to stop.
He discovered that something like Luck cannot be increased just because one wants to; forcibly increased Luck cannot last and requires items to suppress the Luck.
And that wisp of cyan Sect Luck was the suppressing item that could help his Luck from leaking away.
He vaguely sensed that if he lost the suppression of the Sect Luck, something bad would happen, and this was something he had to be vigilant about.
If he repeatedly decomposed it, it might even attract the attention of the Sect Old Ancestor, which would not be good.
As for that wisp of Human Race Luck? Its symbolic significance is greater than its substantial significance.
But he could continue "wool-shearing" the Cloud Mist Mountain Luck; this is a faction under his control, and he can manage this Luck autonomously without worrying about outsiders discovering any anomalies.
With a plan in mind.
He stepped out of the cultivation room.
Then, he saw that the Realms of the twelve Spirit Beasts had all broken through to the Yellow Rank Medium Grade, and their auras were incomparably powerful.
But to Fang Yuan's surprise, he saw Luck clouds above the heads of all twelve Spirit Beasts.
Besides the living being Luck, he also saw an additional thin circle of another kind of Luck!
For example, the Thunder-Winged Tiger Little Thunder had a cluster of two hundred wisps of red living being Luck on its head, and around this cluster of Luck, there was also a thin circle of another kind of Luck composed of five short, thin wisps of red Luck.
Fang Yuan reached out his hand and touched that Luck.
[Item]: Tiger Race Luck (Thunder-Winged Tiger tribe Luck)
[Grade]: First Rank Low Grade
[Characteristic]: The tribe Luck condensed by the tribe led by this Thunder-Winged Tiger, which can protect the growth of the Thunder-Winged Tiger tribe.
Fang Yuan was puzzled: "How could it have tribe Luck?"
In an instant, Fang Yuan remembered that back in the Beast Nursery on Zhanchen Peak, although the Thunder-Winged Tiger was a cub, there were already several cubs surrounding it.
Could it be that those other cubs had already identified Little Thunder as the boss back then?
Very likely!
A King Beast is still a King Beast even when young!
The other eleven Spirit Beasts were in a similar situation; each Spirit Beast possessed its own tribe Luck.
And this Luck seemed to be similarly decomposable, and then absorbed by his own Luck?
He attempted to decompose a wisp of tribe Luck on the Thunder-Winged Tiger's head.
That wisp of red Luck dispersed into tiny specks of Luck light.
More than ninety percent of it was absorbed by Fang Yuan's Luck, and the remaining ten percent was absorbed by the Thunder-Winged Tiger's own living being Luck.
These were all spontaneous behaviors, not controlled by Fang Yuan himself; he had not yet learned any Luck secret techniques, he could only see it, and could not even touch the physical entity. It was just that his Golden Finger was quite unreasonable and could directly decompose it.
"This is also a good way to obtain Luck!"
A gleam flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes: "If they each build a tribe faction, I will be able to continuously obtain Luck, and coupled with the faction Luck of Cloud Mist Villa, my Luck can continue to improve steadily."
The Spirit Beasts waited obediently on the side; although they did not know what Fang Yuan was doing, they were very well-behaved and did not make a sound to interrupt Fang Yuan's thinking.
Suddenly, the bell at the entrance of the Immortal Cave rang.
Fang Yuan looked over in confusion, as he sensed Li Xinyi's aura.
"Xiao Shan, go open the door!" Fang Yuan said to the Flash-Shadow Rabbit.
The Flash-Shadow Rabbit instantly arrived at the entrance and opened the door.
When Li Xinyi saw the door open and discovered it was a Flash-Shadow Rabbit, she was stunned for a moment, then realized this was the Mountain Master's Spirit Beast.
She clearly sensed the First Rank Middle Stage aura on the Flash-Shadow Rabbit and felt incomparably astonished that the Mountain Master's Spirit Beast was actually this strong.
The Flash-Shadow Rabbit glanced at her and turned its head to return to the Immortal Cave.
Li Xinyi stepped inside and saw Fang Yuan standing in the center of the twelve Spirit Beasts.
She sensed the pressure coming from the twelve Spirit Beasts, and her breathing suddenly hitched; these were actually all First Rank Medium Grade Spirit Beasts!
"What is the matter?" Fang Yuan asked.
Recovering from her shock, Li Xinyi said solemnly: "Mountain Master, something big has happened! I don't know why, but the Spiritual Qi concentration in the Villa has risen to the First Rank High Grade level overnight! Disciples patrolling the mountain discovered that the surrounding Spiritual Qi has all significantly improved."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Fang Yuan asked in confusion.
Li Xinyi smiled bitterly: "Previously, the Spiritual Qi concentration of Cloud Mist Mountain was very low and didn't attract attention, but now that the Spiritual Qi has risen to First Rank High Grade, at this time, whether it is humans or Yao Beasts, they will all set their sights on Cloud Mist Mountain!"
Fang Yuan paused, understanding what had happened. He instantly guessed that the previous drop in Cloud Mist Mountain's Spiritual Qi concentration was the work of the Armored Earth-Diving Beast, and now that the Armored Earth-Diving Beast was dead, the Spiritual Qi of Cloud Mist Mountain had recovered.
He pondered, looking at his Spirit Beasts; their auras were already comparable to the fourth or fifth layer of Qi Refining, and coupled with the fact that beasts are generally stronger than Cultivators, being comparable to the sixth layer of Qi Refining was not a problem. It was time to go and claim territory to be king.
