Chapter 247: Hurting Oneself
After spending over an hour testing with numerous fierce beasts in the forest, Yi Chen, with his extraordinary talent, successfully figured out how to gradually observe luck step by step.
His attention then returned to the Little Gold Ball, which was lazily lying nearby.
He tried to observe the luck of the Little Gold Ball.
Even when he slowed down the observation to the utmost, a brilliant golden light suddenly flashed around the Little Gold Ball.
Yi Chen instantly interrupted the observation.
Wow!
As he expected, this was even more terrifying.
The luck was actually golden.
Moreover, even when he slowed down as much as possible, it was so dazzling that he could barely bear it.
The strength of the Little Gold Ball’s luck was incomprehensible.
The creatures in the forest, those mosquitoes and ants, mostly ranged between black and white.
The fierce beasts were also between white and red.
Even the most powerful beasts in the forest, reaching levels fifty or sixty, mostly fell between red and orange.
Based on Yi Chen’s understanding and perception of luck, the strength of luck is represented in order by colors: black, white, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Black indicates a person plagued by bad luck, with luck about to run out, facing imminent demise.
The higher the color, the stronger the luck.
Purple represents a child of heaven, blessed with great luck.
Such a lucky person will certainly turn misfortunes into blessings and find good fortune in dangerous situations wherever they go.
Bai Ruo Xin’s luck is at this level.
If she suddenly has a wild idea and jumps off a cliff, she might end up unharmed and even find very precious and rare spirit materials or spirit mines.
Of course, if she really did that, her luck would definitely deplete and diminish quite a bit.
Because luck is not fixed; it is consumed over time.
Additionally, different thoughts leading to various actions can cause luck to either increase or decrease.
The more significant the choice, the greater the impact.
The luck of the Little Gold Ball, however, reached a new height, achieving a golden hue.
Moreover, it was an extraordinarily strong gold.
If Yi Chen had not already been prepared and practiced on the fierce beasts in the forest, he would not have managed to slow down the observation of the Little Gold Ball’s luck.
If he had carelessly peeked at such a strong luck, it would not only harm his spirit but also noticeably weaken his own luck.
Should he look at his own luck?
Yi Chen felt a bit tempted.
Luck, after all, is tied to the core principles of the laws of heaven, including the laws of fate and the laws of causality; it is also a weapon that maintains the balance of all living things and the ecology of the world.
Any action that involves observing luck is a forbidden act that will lower one’s own luck.
Observing one’s own luck is even more forbidden, and the punishment will be even more severe.
Moreover, the stronger the luck of the subject being observed, the greater the punishment.
Carelessly looking at his own luck is akin to striking a blow against it.
According to Yi Chen’s deduction, his luck might even be stronger than the Little Gold Ball.
After all, such powerful luck from the Little Gold Ball must depend on him.
Bai Ruo Xin’s purple luck is likely a result of being with him, benefiting from the various correct decisions and actions, which have gradually improved it.
With the "Strongest Talent System" as a powerful support, these points almost prove that his luck has reached a terrifying level.
After much hesitation, Yi Chen decided to give it a try.
If his own luck took a significant hit, it would indicate that his luck is extraordinary, validating his deduction.
Even if it took a significant hit, the impact would not be too severe.
After all, he would soon create skills to extract and deprive luck, so he could recover it easily.
As for the possibility that his luck might be too powerful and could severely harm his spirit, he would be cautious and slow down the observation even more, which should minimize any issues.
Resolving his decision, Yi Chen slightly closed his eyes and enveloped himself with his divine consciousness.
Carefully, he began to observe his own luck at the slowest speed possible.
Boom!
In the next second, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His head felt like it had been struck by lightning, his spirit violently shook, and the spirit power in his Qi Sea churned chaotically.
His face instantly turned extremely pale.
“Country Lord!”
Bai Ruo Xin gasped in shock, quickly ending her cultivation and appearing before Yi Chen.
The Little Gold Ball also shook off its lazy state, standing alert with its golden fur bristled, watching its surroundings.
Its small eyes widened in alarm.
“It’s… it’s fine… there’s no enemy invasion.”
Yi Chen’s voice sounded weak.
“No enemy? Did the Country Lord create a new skill, and while doing so, the spirit power entered an acupoint, causing a momentary misfire?”
Bai Ruo Xin asked.
“Something like that! I just need to rest for a while to recover.”
A hint of red appeared faintly on Yi Chen’s pale face.
He truly felt embarrassed to admit that he had, out of curiosity, tried to observe his own luck.
As a result, his luck was so powerful that merely seeing a ray of colorful light felt like being struck by lightning, severely injuring his spirit.
In the more than seven years he had spent in this world, although he had encountered numerous formidable enemies he could not overcome, he had always been careful and cautious, never encountering defeat, let alone injury.
Yet today, he had carelessly harmed himself.
If this peculiar way of getting injured were to spread, it would completely ruin his noble image.
“Should I notify the Intelligence Organization to send people to bring over those high-quality spirit materials for healing?”
Bai Ruo Xin asked, feeling relieved.
“No need, I have some in my storage ring; it will be enough.”
Yi Chen waved his hand dismissively.
The injury was indeed serious, and his spirit had been severely damaged.
However, his exceptional talent meant that his recovery speed would be far beyond what an average person could understand.
With some healing spirit materials, he would recover in at most ten to eight days.
The loss from this observation of his luck was still significant.
Not only had he wasted about ten days, but he had also dealt a blow to his own luck.
Fortunately, he had learned how strong his luck truly was.
With this luck, even if he were to recklessly choose self-destruction, he might be able to turn misfortune into fortune and, for some reason, come back to life.
Of course, he would absolutely never do that.
The consequence of such an act would be a terrifying reduction in his luck due to his reckless behavior.
The thoughts and actions that arise at every moment, especially significant ones, have an immense impact on his own luck.
“Then you should focus on your cultivation. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Bai Ruo Xin stepped back.
However, instead of resuming her cultivation, she took out a piece of white paper and wrote a message.
Using her divine consciousness, she directed the note away from the flying treasure, sending it to the area where the members of the Intelligence Organization were located, informing them to relay a message to the Great Flame Kingdom and collect all the high-quality healing materials to send over.
Even if Yi Chen did not need it, having a stock would be beneficial.
What she didn’t know was that her intention and action of preparing for unforeseen needs would, under Yi Chen’s self-inflicted blow to his luck, result in adverse effects and a chain reaction.
However, with Yi Chen’s current luck, even if there were some negative impact, it would be negligible.
Huff…
He exhaled a breath of stale air.
Yi Chen first stabilized the rolling and chaotic Qi Sea.
Then, he retrieved a batch of high-quality spirit materials that had healing effects on his spirit from his storage ring and refined them using the potion-making technique to consume them.
After that, he began to heal his severely injured spirit.
After wasting eight days, he finally restored his injured spirit to its original state and formally began researching skills for extracting and separating luck.
