Nature and Mechanics

• Luck Value is one of every living being's three fundamental powers: body, soul, and luck. Depleting any of the three “bars” results in death 760.
• An ordinary person's Luck Value is approximately 10. Ning Zheng's innate daily base is instead 0, leaving his fate unstable but allowing him to purchase as much daily luck as he can afford 1.
• Higher Luck Value does not guarantee success; it biases events toward favorable outcomes, opportunities, and survival. Ning Zheng can use enough of it to seek treasures, cultivation methods, or improbably convenient interventions 1.
• Luck affects more than combat. It influences mutation success, cultivation opportunities, artifact acquisition, commerce, public faith, and the ability to avoid danger 41 247 523 551.
• Unlike ordinary cultivators, Ning Zheng can directly convert accumulated Luck Value into opportunities, techniques, comprehension, and combat experience through the Luck Betting Table 315 464.

History

Ning Zheng discovers from birth that he can observe others' luck and act as a merchant who trades for it. His earliest documented transactions deduct daily Luck Value from Ning Jiaojiao in exchange for trivial goods; one such transaction grants him +100 Luck Value 1.

He later uses the Luck Betting Table to stake nearly all of his savings on finding a secure, scalable source of Luck Value. The table presents three destiny-changing possibilities: a Plague God technique, a lucky bearer of an Immortal Dao Fruit, and an auxiliary sword-forging server capable of supplying luck-harvesting blacksmiths 1.

The Sword Forging Manor server turns luck extraction into a scalable system. Logging in is treated as agreement to a transaction, allowing Luck Value to be deducted from blacksmiths without Ning Zheng individually negotiating with each target 227. This model expands through blacksmiths, cultists, prisoners, Xi Rong worshippers, remote statues, Luck Coins, and eventually cross-world Golden Mud logistics 229 484 575 759.

After the emergence of the Way of Luck, Luck Value becomes a recognized cultivation resource and a form of currency. It can be turned into Life Coins, used for direct attacks on an opponent's luck bar, and gathered through collective worship or a world's population 776 818 894.

Functions

Qi Observation

Ning Zheng can inspect a target's daily fortune without spending Luck Value.

• A target whose Luck Value suddenly falls is vulnerable to interception or attack.
• A target whose Luck Value rises sharply may turn an attempted ambush into the attacker's misfortune.
• Ning Zheng uses this reverse deduction to select Jiu Cai Rong as the Mountain Villa's steward before completing normal interviews 5.
• Qi Observation has a ceiling: Ning Zheng's 700 Luck Value cannot detect threats involving great powers with luck in the tens of thousands or higher 103.

Fortune Seeking and Probability Manipulation

Luck Value can be spent at the Luck Betting Table to seek favorable coincidences.

• A successful request can create a chance encounter rather than grant direct ownership or control of its target 2.
• Large expenditures can draw objects through spatial turbulence, as when Ning Zheng spends 30,000 Luck Value to acquire the Soul-Bewitching Bell 247.
• Luck Value can be used to improve mutation outcomes, select opportunities, accelerate cultivation, and increase event success rates 41 574.
• It cannot reliably override a stronger target's destiny; a sufficiently fortunate opponent may turn an attempted interception into a benefit for themselves 5.

Direct Enhancement

Ning Zheng treats Luck Value as an “add points” resource.

• He spends it to force cultivation progress, including reaching Three Origins Realm Grand Perfection with a 100,000-point expenditure 453.
• He purchases and rapidly develops combat techniques such as Hair Mastery, Hair Puppet Technique, spear techniques, and sword techniques 464.
• He uses 1,000,000 Luck Value to comprehend and improve the Fluff Lock, transforming an ordinary sealing inheritance into a higher-level encryption technique 515.
• At higher levels, he can spend trillions to immediately develop copied divine abilities and their associated combat knowledge 1179.

Divination, Calculation, Curses, Blessings, and Consumption

The Golden Bronze Law Gathering Luck and Eating Qi Record identifies five luck-cultivation applications.

• Divination Record — consumes Luck Value to determine fortune and misfortune.
• Calculation Record — consumes Luck Value to calculate divine abilities and cultivation methods.
• Nail Curse Record — uses Luck Value for thirty-seven harmful curse techniques, but causes the user to be tainted with misfortune.
• Blessing Record — grants luck-based blessings to others.
• Consume Luck Record — devours another being's luck 760.

Ning Zheng does not cultivate this method, judging the Luck Betting Table's existing divination and curse functions to be more useful 760.

Remote Collection and Storage

Luck Value can be gathered and stored through physical vessels and networks.

• Xi Rong statues receive intermittent +2 offerings from sincere worshippers, though Ning Zheng's collection has a range limit 484.
• Golden Mud functions as a cross-world Luck Value container and logistics medium, initially holding up to 100,000 Luck Points per receiver 630.
• The Luck Anchor Network allows Ning Zheng to establish anchors and periodically draw stored luck from compatible containers 630.
• Warehouse construction and Golden Mud upgrades transform remote collection into a multi-world commercial operation 759 783.

Sources of Luck Value

Source	Method	Documented yield
Ning Jiaojiao	Daily transaction	+100 per transaction 1
Mountain Villa blacksmiths	Server-mediated daily deduction	+2 per consenting blacksmith; 1,000 participants yield 2,000 daily 12 227
Religion of No Life cultists	Prayer ritual and accepted transaction	2,000 cultists yield +4,000 daily 229
Prisoners	Faceless-statue ritual	300 prisoners yield +3,000 daily 230
Xi Rong worshippers	Sincere statue offerings	Usually +2 per successful offering 484
Luck Coins	Blacksmith spending through Nine Continents Cauldron mode	Ning Zheng charges 99% of the Luck Value used 575
Cross-world Golden Mud	Remote transport and storage	Stabilizes at 11 million daily before later upgrades 759 760
Multi-world operations	Revenue from affiliated worlds and realms	Reaches tens of trillions in daily revenue 1178 1190

Associated Systems

• Luck Betting Table — Ning Zheng's central interface for trading, spending, divining, cursing, and requesting opportunities through Luck Value 1 760.
• Sword Forging Manor Server — Treats login as transaction consent, enabling automated Luck Value collection from blacksmiths 227.
• Nine Continents Cauldron Mode — Lets blacksmiths collect and spend Luck Value to influence advancement, enlightenment, and spiritual-root outcomes 574.
• Luck Coin — A transaction currency introduced with Nine Continents Cauldron mode; it gives blacksmiths direct access to luck manipulation while returning most spent value to Ning Zheng 574 575.
• Magic Coins — Small luck-related artifacts that can raise a holder's Luck Value when accumulated in sufficient quantity, though they do not grant direct control over that luck 551.
• Golden Mud — A luck-oriented material that gathers and stores Luck Value across worlds; its final upgrade develops into the Golden God 759 782.
• Luck Anchor Network — A divine ability for linking remote luck containers into a collection network 630.

Limitations and Risks

• Ning Zheng must continually spend Luck Value to maintain a safe daily amount because his natural daily base is 0 1.
• High Luck Value is relative. His own luck may fail to reveal danger when stronger beings' fortunes overwhelmingly eclipse his own 103.
• Luck-based chance encounters do not equal control over the people or treasures encountered 2.
• Luck alone cannot save a person from every threat; it merely makes favorable outcomes more likely, while direct utilization is a rare advantage of Ning Zheng's system 551.
• Repeatedly harvesting another's luck can create karmic debt and erode their underlying Luck Value capacity. Ning Zheng's Luck Betting Table is described as an exception that deducts temporary daily value rather than permanently stripping the target's origin 806.
• Excessive acquisition of foreign luck can produce chaotic, impure power and transform cultivators into Karmic Demons 820 821.
• Dark Calamity Luck Value greatly increases Ning Zheng's power but requires enormous daily consumption to suppress the Calamity Heart 826 1150.
