Chapter 2 Hope
Cang Dang!
Closing the door, Wu Tao collapsed on the bed like a dead dog.
Two memories of this life and the past life shuttled back and forth in his mind. Anger, grievance, discomfort, and unwillingness were intertwined like threads, covering him densely and suffocating him.
The life experience of the two lives seems to be persuading him to compromise with life, to be patient when facing powerful forces, to endure the calm for a while, and to take a step back to open up the world.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
"Fuck, I can't bear it anymore. Go to hell with the compromise. I want to be happy with my grudges, and I want to be criticized." The emotions that had been suppressed for many years burst out at this moment. Wu Tao stood up and punched the hard board. In bed, everything happens naturally and in one go.
After venting his anger, Wu Tao's mood quickly stabilized.
He needs to accept the reality of time travel.
We also need to face the next dilemma.
Wang Guanshi's actions completely eliminated his chance of survival. But what can he do? In the law-governed society of his previous life, he had no choice, let alone this world ruled by immortals.
Without the compensation for being poisoned and without the evil-breaking talisman, he will definitely die in three months.
Wu Tao was deep in thought, his eyes falling quietly on the dancing candle. The candle was very small, but it burned with all his strength. His eyes seemed to be lit by this candle.
"After all, this is a world where one can cultivate immortality. There must be hope. Did I encounter too few setbacks in my previous life? I am still strong. Yes, cultivating immortality is hope. I can't just accept it easily. Other people’s wishes, Manager Wang, I will keep my twenty spiritual stones with you until I come back to pick them up.”
“Leave the mine quickly to prevent Manager Wang from killing you.”
Thinking of this, Wu Tao immediately took action and began to pack up the original owner's belongings.
Following his memory instinct, he quickly packed away the original owner’s belongings one by one.
Five pieces of low-grade spirit stones.
Twenty-five broken spiritual stones.
In the circle of immortal cultivators, spiritual stones are the common currency.
One hundred low-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one medium-grade spiritual stone,
One hundred medium-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spiritual stone.
As for the broken spirit stones, they are made from the scraps of scrapped mining or cutting spirit stones. One hundred broken spirit stones can be exchanged for one low-grade spirit stone, but no one is stupid enough to exchange it for a low-grade spirit stone. Usually It can only be used to buy daily necessities, such as clothes, food, etc.
There are three books on spiritual practice.
"Three Yang Kung Qi Refining Chapter" is the original master's main skill; "The refining method of first-order low-grade robes and five kinds of restrictions", "Five basic spells".
There are also two books on dealing with people.
"What attitude should be maintained when facing disciples of a cultivating sect", "The art of language in communicating with immortal cultivators of high strength".
The last two books can show that in this world, the immortal cultivators with low cultivation level are full of desire to survive.
Twenty yuan for the prohibition practice spirit board, which was used by the original owner to practice the prohibition of weapon refining.
Seven Spark Stones.
Two kilograms of first-level elementary demon silk.
An iron sword.
A change of clothes.
This is all the original owner left to Wu Tao.
Packed into baggage, Wu Tao left the mine where he had been mining for ten years. In the end, he had nothing and was expelled like a defeated dog. There was not much time left.
It's just like what I said in my previous life, my part-time job will be in vain, and I will have to go to the ICU when I grow old.
Out of the scope of the mine, Wu Tao found a place to hide.
An hour later, no one came to chase him. He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I am a casual cultivator like an ant, and I am still a dying person. How can Manager Wang take it seriously?"
He thought that Manager Wang would come out to eradicate the weeds, but people like him were not worthy of Manager Wang's action. He could just fend for himself. Even if he was lucky enough to survive, could a casual cultivator make a huge difference?
Wu Tao finished laughing at himself and ran down the mountain.
He had to get to Xiuxian City before dark. Once night came, it would be very unsafe in the wild.
……
At dusk.
Wu Tao looked up at a dental shop called 'Anju Xianzhai Shop', put on his hood and walked in.
The steward of the dental shop, who was wearing a professional robe, was sitting behind the counter, making calculations and mumbling something. When he saw a customer coming, he raised his head and said, "Do you want to rent a house, fellow Taoist?"
There is no sense of service at all.
Wu Tao nodded and said politely: "I have seen the steward, I need a private room."
The steward of Yahang took a file at hand and flipped it casually: "I see Look, there is a single room in Qingyi Lane in the West Outer City, with complete facilities, soundproofing array, anti-peeping array, and lighting array. Six low-grade spiritual stones per month, three for one deposit."
Wu Tao's mouth twitched. He raised his hands and said with a smile: "Is there any cheaper ones, such as sound isolation arrays? It's okay if you don't have them."
This Wulingxiu Immortal City was jointly built by Wuquan Mountain and Qingling Sect. It is divided from east to west. He just came to Xicheng, which is part of Wuquan Mountain.
To be precise, it is the Western Outer City, which was built by the disciples of Wuquan Mountain around the walls of Xiuxian City to provide a safe place for the casual cultivators to avoid being invaded by monsters in the wild. At some point, the disciples of the sect became too lazy to take care of it and outsourced everything to small cultivators.
These small cultivating forces installed various low-cost formations, and the rent directly doubled several times.
The manager of Yahang glanced at Wu Tao and said: "The cheap ones are all on the outermost perimeter, and the safety is naturally not as good as the inner perimeter. Fellow Taoist, do you have to think clearly?"
" Think about it clearly. "
"A single room in Xinde Lane, without any facilities, two low-grade spiritual stones for a month, three for one, ten broken spiritual stones for night incense fee, two broken spirits. Stone street cleaning fee, three broken spirit stone identity tag management fee.”
There were so many miscellaneous expenses, Wu Tao sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Can I deposit one and pay one?"
"You said you..."
An hour later, in Xinde Lane, Wu Tao looked at Determining where to stay in the future.
The single room was only about ten square meters at most, including a washroom, but no toilet. Every day, I had to carry Huzi to a special night fragrance collection place to empty my feces and urine.
There is a hard wooden bed against the wall, and an old square wooden table, which is full of grooves, with traces of time written on it, and nothing else.
"It's too difficult!"
Wu Tao couldn't help but sigh, and took out the last spiritual stone on his body. He was so tired of talking about it that he finally persuaded the manager of the dental office to give him a month's grace and pay the rent first with one deposit. Give it to him. "After one month, I have to pay six spiritual stones. Casual cultivation is too difficult. No wonder I want to go mining. At least the rent is not that expensive."
Wu Tao was hungry after a day of running around. , Immortal cultivators in the Qi refining stage have not yet completely gone away from grains, and still need to eat, drink, and defecate. However, the cultivators eat spiritual rice specially grown by spiritual cultivators, and the meat is also the meat of spiritual beasts that are specially bred to contain spiritual energy.
This is helpful for practice.
Wu Tao was so poor now that he couldn't afford spiritual rice and spiritual meat, so he went to the market and bought thirty kilograms of mortal rice and ten kilograms of common animal dried meat with two broken spiritual stones.
These supplies are enough for him to eat for ten days.
Cooking by myself, and after a simple meal, it was getting dark.
Under the dim light of the oil lamp in the house, the surroundings became quiet. At night, Wu Tao would have a strange feeling of discomfort. It was not until he heard the sound of going out and locking the door next door that he came out of his daze. Come to your senses.
“The most important thing now is to survive.”
Wu Tao murmured and took out the book "Refining Methods of the First-Level Low-Grade Robes and the Five Restrictions" and the Restricted Practice Spirit Board. He needed spiritual stones to buy evil-breaking talismans to eliminate the evil spirits on his body, so he could only break through the refining of weapons.
With the dim light of the oil lamp, Wu Tao picked up the book and started reading.
The book describes the refining method of the first-order low-grade robe, and there are five kinds of prohibitions, namely the first-order and first-order dust protection prohibition, the first-order and first-order rain shelter prohibition, and the first-order and first-class coolness prohibition. , first-level and second-level blast restrictions, first-level and third-level spiritual light shield restrictions.
The first three prohibitions are all life-related prohibitions and are dispensable for immortal cultivators.
Only the blast restriction and the aura shield restriction have value and selling points.
The wind restraint can increase the speed so much that one can walk like the wind, which is the best item for escaping. The spiritual light shield restraint can trigger a spiritual light shield to defend against attacks.
Wu Tao has integrated the memories of the original owner, and he also has a basic understanding of weapon refining. The most important thing in refining a weapon is to engrave the restrictions, and then engrave the restrictions into the preliminarily refined robe, which can be called Magical weapon.
When cultivators refine magic weapons, they refine the restrictions within them so that they can be used freely.
In order to avoid wasting materials, weapon refiner apprentices practice restraints and use restraints to practice with spirit boards.
“The original owner has been practicing the first-level coolness restriction, but his talent is extremely poor. For so many years, he has not been able to portray even one percent of this restriction.”
"I'll try."
Wash your hands.
Can bring good luck.
Meditation.
I prayed in my heart to the known gods and Buddhas in the sky.
"Let's start!"
Wu Tao picked up a forbidden practice spirit board, and with a thought in his heart, he started to run the familiar Three Yang Kung, carefully controlling his spiritual power, which was like a knife, leaving stripes on the spirit board. Glowing lines.
The lines are winding, mysterious, intertwined...
Suddenly, there was a sound, like a short circuit on a circuit board, a spark suddenly appeared on the spirit board, and all the lines outlined in the front were in one place. It instantly turns black and loses its aura.
Wu Tao frowned.
"I'm still stuck at the original owner's progress. Doesn't it mean that my weapon refining talent is as bad as the original owner? My soul is different, my talent should have changed?!
Is it possible that God wants to Kill me? ”
My heart is as gray as death.
Just when Wu Tao was desperate, a light suddenly jumped in front of his eyes, jumping to form lines of text.
