Chapter 2 Hope
Bang!
After 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, what the hell are you compromising? 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 wooden bed, 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.
Manager Wang'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 candlelight. The candlelight was very small, but it burned with all his strength. His eyes seemed to be lit by this candlelight.
"After all, this is a world where one can cultivate immortality. There must be hope. Did I encounter fewer setbacks in my previous life? I am still strong. Yes, cultivating immortality is hope. I can't easily fulfill other people's wishes, Manager Wang , I will keep my twenty spiritual stones with you temporarily until I come back to get them."
"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 spiritual 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 middle-grade spiritual stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spiritual stone.
As for the broken spirit stones, they are made from scraps from mining or cutting of 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 low-grade spirit stones. It can usually only be used to buy daily items. Necessities such as clothing, 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 the first-level low-grade robe and five kinds of restrictions", "Five basic spells".
There are also two books on dealing with people.
"What attitude should be maintained when facing the disciples of a cultivating sect", "The language art of 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 that the original owner left to Wu Tao.
Packed into a 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.
After walking out of the mine, Wu Tao found a place to hide.
An hour later, no one came to chase him. He couldn't help laughing 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 problem, but a person like him was 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.
…
Dusk.
Wu Tao looked up at a dental shop called 'Anju Xianzhaixing', put on his hood and walked in.
The manager 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've seen the manager, I need a private room."
The manager of Yahang took a file at hand and flipped it casually: "Let me take a look. There is a single room in Qingyi Lane in the West Outer City. It has complete facilities, including a soundproof array, a privacy array, and a lighting array. Six low-grade spiritual stones are needed for a month. , bet three and pay one.
Wu Tao twitched the corner of his mouth, held up his hands and said with a smile: "Is there any cheaper one, such as a sound isolation array? It's okay if you don't have one."
This Wulingxiu Immortal City was jointly built by Wuquan Mountain and Qingling Sect. It was divided from east to west. He came to the West City, which was affiliated with 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 the tooth shop glanced at Wu Tao and said: "The cheap ones are all on the outermost areas, and the safety is not as good as the inner ones. Do you have to think clearly, fellow Taoist?"
"Think it through."
"A single room in Xinde Lane without any facilities. Two low-grade spiritual stones for a month. Deposit three to pay one. Ten broken spiritual stones for night incense fee, two broken spiritual stones for street cleaning fee, and three broken spiritual stones for identity. Card 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 where he would stay.
The single room was about ten square meters at most, including a bathroom, but no toilet. Every day, I had to carry Hu Zi to a special night fragrance collection place to empty my feces and urine.
There is a hardwood bed against the wall and an old square wooden table, which is covered with grooves and traces of time, and nothing else.
"too difficult!"
Wu Tao couldn't help but sigh, and took out the last spiritual stone on his body. He talked dryly, and finally persuaded the manager of the dental shop to give it a month's grace and rent it to him with one deposit and one payment.
"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."
After a day of running around, Wu Tao was unbearably hungry. Immortal cultivators in the Qi refining stage have not yet completely gone away from grains, and still need to eat, drink, and have diarrhea. However, the immortal cultivators eat spiritual rice specially grown by Ling Zhifu, and the meat is also specially cultivated with spiritual energy. of spiritual beast meat.
This helps with 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.
After cooking for myself and eating 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 the door being locked from next door that he came back from his daze.
"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.
By 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 protection prohibition, the first-order and first-order coolness prohibition, and the first-order and second-order strong wind prohibition. Restriction, first-level and third-level spiritual light shield restriction.
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 ban can increase the speed so much that one can walk like the wind, which is the best item for escaping. The aura mask ban can trigger a layer of spiritual aura to defend against attacks.
Wu Tao's memory of the original owner has been integrated and understood, 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, and then it can be called a magic 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."
handwashing.
Can bring good luck.
Meditate.
I prayed in my heart to all 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 use the familiar Three Yang Gong, carefully controlling his spiritual power, which was like a knife, leaving glowing lines on the spirit board.
The lines are winding, mysterious, intertwined...
Suddenly, there was a loud bang, like a short circuit on a circuit board, and a spark suddenly appeared on the spirit board. All the lines outlined in front of it turned black in an instant, losing their 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, so my talent should be changed?!
Is it possible that God wants to kill me? "
The heart is as gray as death.
Just when Wu Tao was despairing, a light suddenly danced in front of his eyes, forming lines of text.
