Chapter 1 Growth Talent
In a daze, Zhou Ling was awakened by a harsh scream.
He opened his eyes with difficulty and saw the corpses of two black-haired wild wolves lying on a gravel beach not far away, with blood flowing all over the ground.
He stared blankly at everything in front of him. He was frightened by the bloody scene and quickly closed his eyes.
Thought it was a nightmare.
But then a soft hand fell on his butt, and he opened his mouth wide and couldn't help crying "Wow".
“Fortunately, I’m still alive!”
Hearing the cry, Li Ru felt relieved, and a reassuring smile appeared on his pale face. It’s good to be alive.
Zhou Ling was in a daze, and there was a vague bang in his mind.
Activate the talent [The more frustrated you become, the more courage you get].
Achieve [Born Malnutrition], Comprehension +1, Constitution +2.
Suddenly, Zhou Ling stopped crying, and his eyes that were originally closed opened again.
Looking at the world curiously, the scene in front of me became clear again.
Yes, there are indeed two black wolf corpses not far away.
“Husband, it’s a boy! What do you want to call it?”
Li Ru asked a young man not far away who was pale, tall, handsome and thick-looking.
“Call me Zhou Ling. I hope this child will have great ambitions when he grows up, and don’t risk going into the mountains to collect medicine like our couple!”
The man looked at Li Ru’s arms. Baby, said softly.
The coat he was wearing was frayed and there were a few blood stains. This was probably the blood of the black wolf, or maybe his own.
At this moment, Zhou Ling suddenly realized that he had traveled through time and became a newborn baby, and the woman and man in front of him were his parents.
The scene in front of him made him feel something was wrong, but for a while, his mind went blank and blurry.
But there was a flash of blue light, and then a panel appeared.
[Name]: Zhou Ling
[Spiritual Root]: Five Elements Low Grade 2/100
[Physical Qualities]: Comprehension (Mediocre 1/100), Constitution (Dying 2/100)
[Unique talent]: The more frustrated you are, the more courage you get
[Growth talent]: Born with malnutrition
[Exercise method]: None
[Skills]: None
Zhou Ling felt that he had some thinking ability and was able to observe the surrounding situation. He opened his eyes and looked at his mother and father, as if he could feel their anxiety.
They were all pale and covered in blood.
Looking at the scene of two black wolf corpses not far away.
Zhou Ling felt numb in his heart and just wanted to leave here quickly.
I cried subconsciously.
"The child is probably hungry. Ru'er should feed him quickly to avoid attracting other monsters. With our current injuries, we cannot deal with other monsters."
The man said hurriedly.
"Hey, Ling'er is suffering, mother will feed you right now."
Li Ru said softly.
The next moment, Zhou Ling felt something soft being stuffed into his mouth, and he started sucking it instinctively.
But after sucking for a long time, there was nothing.
He couldn't help crying.
Huh?
[Growth Talent, No Breastfeeding: Eating other foods containing spiritual energy and essence and blood will double the growth value. To meet the requirements: suck breast milk a total of twenty times. 】
"This."
Zhou Ling was complaining in his heart. This was a hellish start. Not to mention the danger, he couldn't even eat something hot!
"Is this the main function of the system? To obtain growth talents. As long as you complete the tasks prompted, you can obtain the corresponding growth talents?"
Although he did not suck the fresh milk, Zhou Ling continued to suck.
I can’t do it without sucking!
You must achieve this talent of growth without breastfeeding as soon as possible, otherwise you will starve to death!
“Husband, I have just been injured and there is no milk for my son to drink!”
Although it felt a little painful from the child's bite, Li Ru said with a guilty look.
Zhou Shan couldn't help but stand up, looking around with an anxious look on his face.
Then he looked at the body of the black-haired wolf and walked over.
He took out a pottery bowl from the storage bag.
The knife in his hand skillfully slashed across the body of the black-haired wolf.
Soon, a bowl of hot wolf blood was brought to Zhou Ling.
"My son has just been born, can I give him this?"
Looking at the half bowl of wolf blood, Li Ru's pale face was stunned for a moment, not wanting his child to eat wolf blood.
“Don’t worry, if we attract other black-haired wolves later, we will be in trouble!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Shan said with a serious expression, and then began to give Zhou Ling feeds the wolf blood.
[You sucked breast milk twenty times! 】
[Effect: Sucking breast milk twenty times in total]
[Achieved without breastfeeding talent! 】
Zhou Ling was so hungry that his eyes were black at this moment. He didn't care what was in the bowl, he couldn't wait to suck it like crazy.
A hot and rich smell of blood rushed into his throat.
[Physique +1, Constitution +1... 】
【Dying 8/100. 】
After drinking a small bowl of wolf blood, Zhou Ling licked his tongue with some unfinished thoughts.
He could feel that his physical strength and strength had improved. He was not as weak as before, and he felt like he was dying.
But just a slight improvement will not make him much stronger. He is essentially still a baby with insufficient energy and blood, and it will take a long time to grow.
"Good boy, you are still like me, you have a tough life!"
Zhou Shan's voice was a little hoarse due to exhaustion, but he still laughed heartily when he looked at the baby whose mouth was full of blood.
"Husband, let's collect the corpses of the monsters and return to the camp quickly!"
Li Ru looked at the child, with unbearable and self-blame in his eyes, and reached out to gently wipe the corners of the child's mouth. blood stains and said in a weak tone.
Zhou Shan nodded.
······．
Ten days later, they left the wilderness camp and returned to a fairy city called Lingxia City.
In the past ten days, due to Li Ru's serious injury, there has been no milk in the body.
Therefore, Zhou Ling ate the blood essence of monsters for ten days.
Completely getting rid of the dying state.
The status also changed to low health 6/1000
At the same time, because I was in a wilderness camp, I heard the howling of monsters every night.
Zhou Ling inspired a new growth talent [Crisis Response]: able to sense the presence of danger in the shortest time.
Every time it is used, a lot of mental energy is consumed.
Perhaps because he traveled through time, Zhou Ling is relatively strong in terms of mental strength.
At present, I can barely use this crisis response talent, but it is only limited to a very small range.
And this innate skill is undoubtedly very practical in this crisis-ridden world.
In just ten days, Zhou Ling also experienced several dangers.
For example, Zhou Shan once obtained fresh monster blood from other monster hunters in the camp, but this blood was infected with evil poison. Once he drank it, it would be very bad.
Another time, a poisonous scorpion crawled into the camp in the middle of the night.
My parents were tired and had not yet recovered from their injuries, so they slept deeply.
Zhou Ling could only rely on instinct, howl and wake up the two of them, and then kill the poisonous scorpion.
After the physical fitness is upgraded, if you consume the blood of monster beasts later, the physical fitness will not improve as quickly as before.
But because the mother was killing the black-haired wolf, the fetal air was inflated, causing him to give birth early. So there is still obvious malnutrition.
If he hadn't stimulated his growth talent, consumed the blood of monster beasts, and obtained doubled growth value, he would probably have died long ago.
After these days, he also had some general understanding of his journey through this world, and from the conversations between his parents and other medicine seekers.
This is a world of cultivation.
What now unifies this vast world of cultivation is the so-called Dao Alliance.
The Taoist League rules countless human fairy cities.
But these have little to do with the lower-level monks.
The life of the low-level casual cultivators is still difficult, and they are struggling hard to cultivate Taoism.
Take Zhou Shan as an example. He is a physical cultivator with a mid-level first-level cultivation.
My wife, Li Ru, practices Qi at the fourth level.
The couple had no skills, so they had no choice but to choose the dangerous profession of being a pharmacist.
Every month, he teams up with other casual cultivators to enter the wilderness to search for elixirs.
Use elixirs in exchange for spirit stones to maintain the couple's daily practice and survive in Lingxia Fairy City.
Looking for elixirs in the wilderness is extremely dangerous. Monsters are everywhere in the wilderness. Once you encounter one, you will almost die.
But the high cost of living in Lingxia Fairy City left them no choice.
In Lingxia Fairy City, the vast majority of casual cultivators have no inheritance and are busy earning spiritual stones every day. Throughout their lives, most of them can only be monks in the Qi Refining Realm.
Qi-training monks, on the other hand, are only the lowest and humblest existence in the Taoist League.
However, no matter what, Zhou Ling feels that it is better than the hard work of 996 in his previous life, and the mortgage payment that he has to pay every day!
·······.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed.
After these days of growth, Zhou Ling has gradually become stronger.
I also gradually mastered the use of golden fingers.
Know that this is an achievement-oriented golden finger. Every time a task is triggered and completed, growth talents can be gathered.
These days, he has inspired a new talent.
[Growth talent, physical evolution: Use physical strength to gain exponential growth, meet the requirements: move the body a thousand times. 】
【Cumulative number of exercises: 988/1000】
Zhou Ling glanced at the talent progress on the panel and continued to crawl around on the wooden bed.
"Ahem, son, you can't sleep well and crawl around all day."
"Mom has to work, but she doesn't have that much time to take care of you."
< br>Li Ru was wearing a simple cloth with a graceful face. She was sitting on the bedside, squinting slightly as she picked out the herbs in the dustpan.
The light in the room is not bright.
Zhou Ling's home is on a remote street on the west edge of Lingxia Fairy City. The house is a bit old, with two rooms and a small living room, and a small open space in front, which is enough for a family of three.
However, the rent is not cheap, costing six low-grade spiritual stones per month.
Most of the people living nearby are just like Zhou Shan, low-level casual cultivators who make a living by going to the wilderness to find elixirs or doing odd jobs.
Seeing Zhou Ling crawling to the edge of the wooden bed, Li Ru's eyes were full of doting. He couldn't help but get up and carry Zhou Ling to the middle of the wooden bed.
At the same time, he murmured doubtfully, "My son is obviously still a little weak, but why is he so restless?"
"You can climb for so long in more than three months?"
"Is it because of your husband's physical condition?"
Looking at Zhou Ling just sitting down, he waved restlessly.
She smiled and said softly, "Ling'er, are you ready? Mother will make paste for you to eat!"
Because the internal injuries have not fully recovered, she has not been able to milk.
After returning to Lingxia City, Zhou Ling no longer fed animal blood, but instead fed him spiritual rice paste.
“Don’t move!”
Li Ru warned and walked towards the small kitchen outside.
Zhou Ling looked at the panel, stretched out his little hand, and continued to crawl away.
There is no other way. The only effective way now is to crawl.
[You are crawling, arm strength +1, leg strength +1, constitution +1]
[Effect: 1001 crawls in total]
[Achieve growth talent physical evolution]
[Cumulative movement: 1001/10,000]
Zhou Ling, who was crawling back and forth on the wooden bed, looked at the prompts that appeared on the panel.
I couldn't help but feel excited.
After this period of time, the fourth growth talent was finally stimulated.
Especially in his current physical condition, he is still malnourished.
Next, as long as you do some simple exercises every day, you can improve your physical fitness.
Of course, the only thing I can do now is either wave my hands or crawl around.
"Ling'er, why did you crawl out again!"
At this time, Li Ru walked in holding a pottery bowl in his hand.
The faint aroma of spiritual rice fills the air.
Li Ru’s craftsmanship is very good. Although it is a simple paste, some spiritual rice and elixir are added to it, which is not only nutritious, but also delicious.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, she gently blew on the paste in the bowl. She felt that it was not very hot anymore, so she took a spoon, took a small spoonful, and started to feed Zhou Ling.
A bowl of rice medicated paste is swallowed.
[Constitution +1, insufficient blood 506/1000. 】
After eating, Zhou Ling continued to crawl.
"Ling'er, you can't take a rest!" Li Ru said with a doting look on his face.
·······.
over the next month.
As the number of crawls increased, the strength of Zhou Ling's limbs also continued to grow stronger.
Not only has his crawling proficiency continued to improve, but he has also gradually been able to stand, but he is still unable to walk.
[You are crawling, constitution +1, arm and leg strength +1, crawling proficiency +1]
In order to increase crawling efficiency, Zhou Ling is no longer satisfied with a small wooden bed .
Climb off the wooden bed and crawl around in the small room.
Li Ru was busy picking up medicine and drying it, and had to prepare several meals for him a day, so she didn't care about him.
A month later, Zhou Ling learned to walk again.
[You are walking, constitution +1, body coordination +1, walking proficiency +1]
[Physique malnutrition 1/10000]
"After half a year of hard work, my body has improved!"
Zhou Ling thought to himself.
Through his parents' daily conversations with other neighbors and friends, he also knew that the physical constitution of children in this world was far superior to that of the Blue Star in his previous life.
Some children are even gifted and can absorb spiritual energy and practice within one month of their birth.
But my physical fitness is already far behind.
So next, we have to work hard to catch up.
Zhou Ling waved his arms and thought to himself.
