Traveling through ancient times to survive

After explaining Xiaolu's matter, Zhao Qing's expression was serious. She deliberately exaggerated the danger of the mutant creatures.

"Dad, this time I went out and checked the three surrounding mountains, there are at least more than two dozen mutant life forms like Xiaolu. Ordinary fists and feet can no longer deal with them. There are also a few that I was frightened by just looking at from a distance, so I had to flee immediately."

Zhao Chengchuan was horrified and pulled Zhao Qing to look her up and down: "Qingya, are you hurt?"

Zhao Qing patted most parts of his body to show that he was not injured, and also gave credit to Xiaolu for his achievement.

"No, Dad. Thanks to Xiaolu for reminding me. I avoided it from a distance."

"That puts me at ease. Xiaolu is very reliable. You found a good partner."

Zhao Chengchuan cheered up and praised Xiaolu, then he became visibly sad. These creatures couldn't even get close to him, so you can imagine how powerful they were. What if they passed by the valley one day? How many of the more than 100 people in the valley could escape?

Looking at Zhao Chengchuan's dazed expression, Zhao Qing hardened his heart and continued to uncover the cruel truth. Everyone must become stronger quickly so that they can have a chance to escape when facing such mutant creatures in the future, instead of being immersed in a false illusion of security and not knowing how they would die one day.

"The world has changed dramatically. The creatures that once could only be prey to humans have begun to master new powers. In the future, our situation may be reversed."

Zhao Chengchuan cursed loudly: "Damn God! Is this going to end our survival?"

Zhao Qing waited until Zhao Chengchuan finished venting and then patted him on the shoulder gently.

"Dad, complaining is useless. Times have changed. Plants and animals are beginning to mutate. We humans cannot just sit there and wait for death."

"But what can we do? That's a legendary monster! Who can deal with it except for an accomplished immortal? But in this land, immortals have long become legends."

Zhao Chengchuan, a grown man, showed a desperate and helpless expression in front of his daughter. The blow was so great that he lost control of his expression for a moment.

Zhao Qing was shocked. What was going on? Has a similar situation happened in this world before? Have creatures in this world experienced an evolution before? The ancients did not know the reason, so they called the mutated people immortals and monsters?

"Dad, have monsters and immortals appeared before?"

Zhao Chengchuan shook his head numbly, "I don't know. I'm just an ordinary farmer with no experience. I've only heard stories about monsters eating people and immortals conquering monsters. I don't know whether they are true or not."

Zhao Qing thought for a moment and then gave up trying to get to the bottom of it. It didn't matter whether there had been mutated life forms before. What mattered now was to seize the opportunity to become stronger and take control of his own destiny.

"Dad, it's not time to despair. What I gained from this trip is not only that I made a good friend like Xiaolu, but I was also lucky enough to get an opportunity in a secret place."

Zhao Chengchuan looked anxious, as if he had found a life-saving straw: "What opportunity?"

Zhao Qing smiled mysteriously: "You can call it cultivating immortals. We humans are definitely no worse than monsters in learning this method."

Zhao Qing followed the local customs and also followed Zhao Chengchuan in calling the mutated life forms "demons".

Zhao Chengchuan jumped up excitedly, grabbed Zhao Qing's shoulders, and asked loudly: "Cultivating immortals? Is that what I mean? The kind of cultivation that can make you an immortal?"

"Dad, relax. When I say immortal, I mean that after you become an immortal, you can fight against monsters of the same level. If you mean the kind of immortal who can move mountains and seas, pick stars with his hands, and live forever, then you may be disappointed. I can't do that."

Zhao Chengchuan felt lost for a moment, then immediately calmed down.

"It's okay. As long as we can carve out a way to survive, it's fine. We can just dream about the immortals you mentioned. We still need to be down-to-earth."

Zhao Qing took out the spirit-testing plate he carried with him and handed it to Zhao Chengchuan.

"Dad, this is called a spirit-testing plate. It can test whether a person has the talent for cultivating immortals."

When Zhao Chengchuan heard this, he instantly retracted his hand that he had casually extended. He bowed to the gods and Buddhas with a pious expression, then took it with both hands with a solemn face.

"Qingya, how do you test it?"

"Okay, it's been tested."

Zhao Qing looked at the spirit-detecting plate with no reaction, and he didn't seem that surprised. After all, among the billions of lives in the three mountains, there were only a dozen monsters.

"Ah? Already well? Then do I have the talent to cultivate immortality?" Zhao Chengchuan was nervous and expectant. Even if the cultivation of immortality his daughter talked about was not as omnipotent as in the storybooks, he only hoped to protect himself and not hold his daughter back. It would be even better if he could help his daughter.

Zhao Qing remained silent. Zhao Chengchuan, who guessed the truth from Zhao Qing's reaction, smiled awkwardly: "It's okay. It's not surprising that Dad doesn't have that talent at his age. It's just that he may be a drag on you in the future."

Zhao Qing said with a serious face: "Dad, you will never be a burden to me!"

Zhao Chengchuan felt better. He comforted himself that although he could not become an immortal, he had a good daughter!

"Qingya, I'm very happy that you have this heart. If it really comes to a matter of life and death, you should give up. As the saying goes, if you have green mountains, you will not be afraid of firewood. If we can escape as many as we can, I will not only not blame you, but I will be very happy."

Zhao Qing decided in her heart that she would find a way to buy the martial arts secrets of the immortal world. Even if ordinary martial arts could not compare to the martial arts of the immortal world, they were definitely much stronger than the martial arts of this world. Moreover, the mutant creatures in this world had just developed, and the already systematic martial arts might not be unable to deal with them.

The secret book has not been purchased yet. In case something unexpected happens, Zhao Qing doesn't want to disappoint her father again. She decides that it won't be too late to tell her father the good news after everything is settled.

"By the way, Qingya, what other opportunities do you mean besides this spirit-testing disk and the technique?" Zhao Chengchuan knew something was wrong as soon as he said it, and he quickly added, "No, you'd better not tell me, I'm just a little curious."

"Dad, there's nothing wrong with this. I got a magical weapon, but now it's sealed because it has no energy. As long as it's charged, it will slowly unlock some good things. Now I've unlocked a cultivation method and this spirit-testing disk."

Zhao Qing revealed some of the secrets of the golden finger, so he wouldn't have to come up with excuses when taking out anything next time.

Zhao Chengchuan was extremely anxious. His daughter still didn't understand human nature. This secret should be kept hidden and not let anyone know.

"Oh, why are you telling me? If this treasure gets out, the emperor will be unable to resist snatching it!"

Zhao Qing tried his best to belittle his own golden finger: "Dad, it's okay. This treasure is not as good as you think, because the energy to unlock it is not easy to collect. This energy can only be obtained from the corpse of a monster. I have killed no less than eight of the lowest-level monsters this month, and I can only collect a spirit-testing disk and a basic set of basic exercises. I don't know if there are any real good things in the magic weapon."
