Chapter 2 Hope
Bang!
After closing the door, Wu Tao collapsed on the bed like a dead dog.
The memories of this life and the past life shuttled back and forth in his mind. Resentment, grievance, discomfort, and unwillingness were interwoven like threads, densely covering him and suffocating him.
The life experiences of the two lives seemed to persuade him to compromise with life. When facing powerful forces, he should be patient. If he can endure for a while, the situation will be calm. If he takes a step back, the sky will be wide open.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"Fuck, I can't endure it anymore. Fuck compromise. I want to be happy with my grudges. I want to fuck." The emotions that he had endured for many years burst out at this moment. Wu Tao stood up and punched the hardwood bed, naturally and in one go.
After venting, Wu Tao's emotions quickly stabilized.
He needed to accept the reality of crossing.
He also needed to face the next dilemma.
What Wang Guanshi did completely cut off his way to survival. But what could he do? In the rule of law society of his previous life, he had no way out, let alone this world ruled by the immortal gate.
Without compensation for being possessed by evil spirits and without the evil-breaking talisman, he will surely die in three months.
Wu Tao pondered, his eyes quietly falling on the flickering candlelight. The candlelight was small, but it consumed all his strength and burned. His eyes seemed to be lit by the candlelight.
"After all, this is a world where you can cultivate immortals. There must be hope. Didn't I encounter enough setbacks in my previous life? I am still as strong as ever. Yes, cultivating immortals is hope. I can't easily fulfill the wishes of others. Manager Wang, I will temporarily keep my 20 spirit stones with you until I come back to get them."
"Leave the mine quickly to prevent Manager Wang from killing me."
Thinking of this, Wu Tao immediately took action and began to pack up the original owner's relics.
Following his memory instinct, he quickly packed up the original owner's relics one by one.
Five low-grade spirit stones.
Twenty-five broken spirit stones.
In the circle of immortal cultivators, spirit stones are the universal currency.
One hundred low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one medium-grade spirit stone,
One hundred medium-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spirit stone.
As for broken spirit stones, they are made of scraps from 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 them with low-grade spirit stones. They can usually only be used to buy daily necessities, such as clothes and food.
There are three books about cultivation.
"Sanyang Gong·Qi Refining Chapter" is the main cultivation method of the original owner; "The Refining Method of the First-level Low-grade Robe and Five Restrictions", "Five Basic Spells".
There are also two books on how to deal with people.
"What attitude should be maintained when facing disciples in the cultivation sect", "The language art of communicating with the cultivators with higher strength".
The last two books show that in this world, the cultivators with low cultivation are full of desire to survive.
Twenty pieces of restriction practice spirit boards, which are used by the original owner to practice the restriction of refining equipment.
Seven spark stones.
Two kilograms of first-level primary demon silkworm silk.
An iron sword.
A set of clothes for changing.
This is all the things the original owner left for Wu Tao.
Packing up into a bag, Wu Tao left the mine where he had worked for ten years. After ten years of mining, he had nothing in the end and was expelled like a loser. His days were numbered.
As he said in his previous life, working was a waste of time and he would have to go to the ICU when he was old.
After walking out of the mine, Wu Tao found a place to hide.
After an hour, 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 about to die. How could Manager Wang take me seriously?"
He thought that Manager Wang would come out to root out the evil, but people like him were not worth Manager Wang's help. They should just let themselves die. Even if he survived by chance, could a casual cultivator still turn the world upside down?
After Wu Tao laughed at himself, he walked down the mountain.
He had to get to Xiuxian City before dark. Once it was night, it was very unsafe in the wild.
...
At dusk.
Wu Tao looked up at a pawnshop called "Anju Xianzhaixing", put on his hood and walked in.
The pawnshop manager, wearing a professional robe, was sitting behind the counter, clacking his abacus and muttering something. When he saw a customer coming, he looked up and said, "Do you want to rent a room?"
He had no sense of service at all.
Wu Tao nodded and said politely, "Meet the manager, I need a single room."
The pawnshop manager took a file at hand and flipped through it casually, saying, "Let me see, there is a single room in Qingyi Lane, West Outer City, with complete facilities, soundproof array, anti-peep array, and lighting array, six low-grade spirit stones a month, deposit three and pay one.
Wu Tao's mouth twitched, and he bowed and smiled, "Is there a cheaper one? Soundproof arrays and other things are okay without them. "
This Wuling Xiuxian City was built by Wuquan Mountain and Qingling Sect together. It was divided into east and west. He came to the West City, which belongs to Wuquan Mountain.
To be precise, it is the West Outer City, which was built by the disciples of Wuquan Mountain around the wall of Xiuxian City to provide a safe place for casual cultivators to live and not be attacked by wild monsters. At some point, the disciples of the sect were too lazy to take care of it and outsourced it to small Xiuxian forces.
These small Xiuxian forces installed various cheap formations, and the rent increased several times.
The manager of the Yahang glanced at Wu Tao and said, "The cheap ones are all on the outermost periphery, and the safety is naturally not as good as the inner periphery. Daoist, do you want to think it through?"
"I have thought it through."
"A single room in Xinde Lane, without any facilities, two low-grade spirit stones a month, three deposits and one payment. Ten broken spirit stones per month for night incense, two broken spirit stones for street cleaning, and three broken spirit stones for identity card management fees. "
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 only 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 ordinary animal meat jerky 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 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 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'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 desperate, a light suddenly danced in front of his eyes, forming lines of text.
