Helping each other with countless me

The night is fading

Li Zhongren's family is lighting an oil lamp.

As mentioned before, his family is so poor that rats have to leave with tears.

Yes, but not entirely.

The place where he is now is called Nanxi County.

It is a county town.

But he didn't live here at first.

He lived in a village outside the county town, where he grew up and ate the food of hundreds of families there.

At present, although the yard he lives in is shabby, it is not his. After all, with his previous status, he could not afford to buy a house in the county town.

This is a livelihood.

The people in that village raised him to adulthood, and he returned the favor by giving them some money-making livelihood.

This house is actually a stronghold.

As for what kind of livelihood it is, there is only one word, salt.

Because this is a world with a stable social structure.

Even if there are extraordinary powers, they are restrained by the atmosphere of the world.

So the life of the lower class is bitter, but at least stable.

Then, salt has become a necessity.

As we all know, in any era, salt will occupy an extremely important position in the lives of ordinary people.

And it just so happened that the village where he lived was backed by a mountain, and there was a salt mine in the mountain. Of course, it was inedible because there were too many impurities, and he used the supersaturated crystallization method of later generations to help them extract the purest sodium chloride from it.

However, the same thing.

This is a business that makes a lot of money.

It is so profitable that everyone is jealous.

So, after he succeeded, he directly handed the method to Muramasa, the largest landlord in the village, and also the first old man who took him in.

The old man is very rich and has some power.

Most importantly, compared with other landlords, he has a good heart, otherwise he would not have taken him in.

In such a world, meeting such a person is actually no different from winning the lottery.

But, then again, if there were no such people, he would have starved to death at the beginning, and there would be no subsequent things.

Therefore, the old man regarded the secret recipe as the greatest inheritance of the family, and at the same time planned a series of safe and confidential means to sell salt.

This house is one of the strongholds.

The packaged salt will be sent to several strongholds in the county town through various means, and then sent out of the city and sold far away.

Why not sell it locally is to worry about being discovered.

And why send it to the city first.

Because only in this way can a large amount of goods be shipped, and it is easier to hide with the caravan.

After all, when you enter the city, you can send it in little by little, and when you look out, it will be a lot.

Therefore, the most valuable thing in this yard is actually the salt, but the salt is hidden very well, and those ordinary constables can't find it.

And tonight, it was supposed to be time to gather the goods and secretly transfer them to the cargo station.

Unfortunately, the entire county town is now blocked, so it is estimated that the delivery of goods will be temporarily stopped for a while.

Of course, Li Zhongren doesn't care.

In the past, he didn't care because he knew that money can move people's hearts. Therefore, when the old man said he would give him a share, he didn't want it. He was helpless and that was a way to death. If he didn't take it, he could still live. If he took it, when the old man died, his family might want to kill him.

Now, he doesn't care even more. I'm going to cultivate immortality, so why should I care about your mundane affairs? Of course, it's not that he doesn't care at all. He still needs to take revenge.

As he said, in this era, meeting a landlord like the old man is the same as winning the lottery.

The reality is that they are all guys who eat people without spitting out bones.

The old man's family is like this.

In fact, many of his brothers in the family want to kill him to prevent him from leaking secrets. He secretly heard people talking about it, but they were all stopped by the old man.

But even so, these people would humiliate him from time to time.

It sounds stupid, but this is reality.

Moreover, there are more realistic things.

The son that the old man treated like a treasure was not his son, but his wife and his brother's.

That little beast, like his real father, was not a human being.

Before, he had no ability, so he could only endure it silently, but he was not a masochist. He secretly collected all the evidence of salt smuggling and was ready to fight them to the death at any time.

Of course, there was no need now.

When he succeeded in cultivation, he would help the old man clean up his house, which was also a way to repay his kindness. After that, the sea was wide for fish to jump and the sky was high for birds to fly.

But then again, are geniuses so unreasonable?

Li Zhongren opened his eyes.

The visualization picture was obtained in the morning, and he entered into meditation at noon.

It was about nine o'clock in the evening now. After all, there were no clocks in this era, and the time could only be estimated based on the moon.

He had already learned this visualization method completely, and even found time to change the part that cheated people.

At this moment, he realized why geniuses love reading and learning so much.

It's nothing, it's positive feedback.

Why do people love playing games?

Because playing games has positive feedback, you will feel like you are the character in the game, you can do anything.

It's not the same for studying. After studying for a whole year, you can't even remember a few words. Who wants to study?

But if you can learn it at a glance, and you can master it at once, then you will see that everyone loves to learn.

Just like him now.

In the Dantian, there is an extra breath, or cloud.

It looks like a cloud of enlarged atoms, constantly flickering.

This is the seed of immortality constructed in the body through visualization.

It is like a seedling, rooted in his body, slowly taking root and sprouting, and in this process, he can also use it to display all kinds of magical abilities, until it grows to its limit, then your kung fu is considered to be cultivated to the home.

Then, the second step is also the most dangerous step.

Li Zhongren took a breath slowly, and his mind moved, and the acupoints in his body slowly opened. The rich power of the world between heaven and earth rushed into his body like a high-pressure faucet, flowing along the meridians, and finally fell into the Dantian, and was absorbed by this seed.

This is the reason why people who practice immortality cannot leave the world, but cannot stay in the world forever.

First, the risk you take when opening the acupoints in the mortal world is too great. If you are not careful, you will be drowned.

Second, the mortal world is full of thousands of people. The power of the mortal world is so complicated, even dirtier than those dirty salt mines. Filtering, transformation, absorption, every step cannot be wrong, otherwise, it will pollute your own foundation.

This is also the main tone of the cultivators in this world. The emphasis is on being untainted by the mud.

But who makes him a genius?

In terms of comprehension, he can learn any ability at a glance and master it at once.

In terms of body, his acupoints are as hard as tempered steel, and they are connected with his mind. They can be adjusted at will like the sluice gates of a reservoir. The most important point is that his meridians have a filtering function. The complicated power of the mortal world does not need him to bother to transform. The meridians can transform and filter it by themselves, and then discharge these impurities from the body through the acupoints in the opposite direction.

It feels like a built-in water purifier.

Therefore, ordinary immortal cultivators, when they come to places with high concentrations of red dust, can only close their orifices and meditate, circulate internally, or take special pills to make up for the missing true qi. Only in places far away from the red dust can they absorb a large amount of red dust power.

But he is different. He can open his orifices and absorb the power of the red dust anytime, anywhere, at any time, and in any place. In fact, for him, the power of the red dust is something that can be directly adapted to.

Needless to say, the efficiency gap is obvious.

As the power of the red dust penetrated into his body, the light mist that looked like an atomic cloud began to change. In Li Zhongren's perception, it was like a plant that encountered water, nutrients, and sunlight, and began to grow wildly.

Normally, a skill cannot be practiced in this way, because it will make the foundation unstable. After all, any change needs time to settle.

But who made him gifted?

As mentioned earlier, his comprehension and foundation are both top-notch.

The top comprehension allows him to ensure the stability of his foundation in this rapidly expanding state of practice.

The top foundation gave him the strongest tendons and veins. Even if the power of the mortal world kept washing away, it would not cause damage to the meridians.

Naturally, with these two big points, the Golden Silkworm Skill, which was supposed to take at least five years to achieve a small success, was only practiced to a small success at midnight.

What is a small success?

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

It has all the functions it should have.

His ten fingers are like ten launchers that can launch golden silk. These silks are the sharpest knives alone, and twisted together, they are the strongest ropes.

This is a small success.

"Hiss~~"

Li Zhongren opened his eyes suddenly, and his fingers trembled. Countless silks that were invisible to the naked eye seemed to have vitality and began to climb in this dilapidated courtyard.

There was no other reason. The small map shared by other worlds showed that there were enemies coming.

There were two in total, both were huge red dots.

Obviously, these two should be monks.

As for the reason for finding myself, it was probably related to the corpse, after all, I had come into contact with the corpse.

So, how to deal with it?

In a flash, Li Zhongren made a decision.

"This is it."

"Yes, it's here."

Under the cover of the night, Xin Chengzi and Bashanzi came to the outside of Li Zhongren's house quietly.

However, they did not go in directly, but carefully circled around Li Zhongren's house.

The reason is also very simple, this is the mortal world.

For ordinary people, they can't feel anything, but for cultivators, this is the same as the deep sea.

This is Li Zhongren's own analogy. Everyone knows that the pressure of the deep sea is so great that it can even compress steel behemoths like submarines into a ball, but many deep-sea fish can wander leisurely on the seabed.

A truth.

Naturally, in such an environment, the immortal cultivation system of this world, when fighting in the mortal world, attaches great importance to one point, that is, destroying your pressure balance.

This is simpler and more covert than techniques that target you directly.

Of course, there are also disadvantages to doing this. If the other party is proficient in the art of pressure, he will not be affected, and your actions will be wasted. You must know that in the world of mortals, at least for people other than Li Zhongren, it is impossible to recover while fighting, except for taking drugs.

"You set up the formation, and I will guard the wind."

After searching for a while, Xin Chengzi made sure that there was no formation here, and he spoke directly.

Okay, Bashanzi nodded slightly, and with a light jump, he came to the roof of a nearby house, staring at Li Zhongren's house from a distance.

And Xin Chengzi rummaged out many things from the Sumeru mustard seed bag he was carrying, and arranged a certain formation around Li Zhongren's house.

"Start!!"

After some arrangements, Xin Chengzi also came to Bashanzi's side, pinched his hands, and chanted some kind of spell, which sounded like human language, but if you listen carefully, it seems that you can't understand it. This is a spiritual language specifically for the seeds in the body, which is an auxiliary means.

People with high cultivation level can choose not to recite, but the benefit of reciting is that it can save their own true qi and improve stability.

Finally, Xin Chengzi clapped his hands and pointed forward.

Faintly, Bashanzi seemed to hear the sound of the tide.

He knew that this was one of Xin Chengzi's unique skills, the Red Dust Tide.

Looking for the sound, Bashanzi saw that in the distance, the power of the Red Dust gathered high and turned into a huge wave of a hundred meters high, and then silently slapped it at the limited range with a bang.

In the world of the naked eye, nothing happened, just as if a breeze blew by, and the jujube leaf in the yard swayed a few times.

However, if it is a cultivator who can see the power of the Red Dust, he can see that the power of the Red Dust is raging wildly within the barrier. In such an environment, ordinary cultivators will die as soon as they enter the barrier.

After a long time, the tide receded and everything returned to silence.

Xin Chengzi and Bashanzi also opened the door.

The courtyard was empty.

They walked into the house again.

The house was also empty.

"No one?"

The two were stunned.

Just now, they clearly felt the presence of someone in here.

"Oh no."

Without saying anything, the two instinctively wanted to run out, because the other party must have noticed it. What they sensed just now was probably not a real person, but some means of attracting attention.

"Puff."

"Puff."

Then, two thin silk threads were stuck on their necks. If they hadn't stopped in time, they would have been separated from their heads.

And more importantly, the moment they braked suddenly, their necks felt slightly cold.

The other two threads also passed through their necks

Just right, they were stuck in place.

"Don't move, you two, otherwise, if you lose your head, I won't care."
