Traveling through ancient times to survive

Time passed quickly and this year's winter arrived as expected. Amid the villagers' nervous and worried expressions, the temperature returned to normal and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

More and more people were learning the two skills, and Zhao Qing took them a long way before finding a suitable opponent.

From being in a state of confusion to being able to handle the situation with ease, everyone adapted quickly and became more and more proficient in martial arts.

Everyone handed the corpses of monsters and plants they had killed to Zhao Qing, who specially bought some marrow cleansing pills in the mall, ground them into powder and distributed them to everyone to swallow. As expected, the speed of cultivation increased a lot, and everyone became more enthusiastic.

Zhao Qing was also very satisfied. She would charge a small portion of the intermediary fee during the exchange process. The points from the two martial arts books had already been earned back. Not only that, but by accumulating small amounts, her points exceeded 10,000.

Zhao Qing thought about it and decided to buy the cultivation techniques of the other three attributes. As for the intermediate version of her technique, Zhao Qing had long given up hope. The points she invested in it were simply not something she could afford.

Zhao Qing looked at other commodities and found the same pattern: basic items were still within her consumption level, but more powerful commodities were priced out of this world.

From this, Zhao Qing made a guess. With the energy in this world, it was probably only enough for her to practice the basic chapter to the top, and the intermediate chapter had exceeded the world's upper limit, so it was marked with a price she could not afford.

The entire winter passed as everyone was busy hunting monsters, and on New Year's Day, the valley was filled with a grand celebration.

After the New Year, spring came quickly, and it was time to plant again. Because of the high yields of potatoes and corn, everyone planted two-thirds of their fields with these two crops.

Because she didn't know how much of the second-generation seeds' effectiveness was left, Zhao Lan took out a lot of the original magical seeds. Zhao Qing didn't take them for nothing and exchanged them for a lot of goods to help her practice.

Zhao Lan took these treasures and left happily. Zhao Qing also handed the new magic seeds to Zhao Chengchuan. As for how to explain it, that was a headache for her father as the village chief and had nothing to do with her.

After the sowing was completed, Zhao Qing conducted another test on the people in the valley. As expected, more than 20 people with talent for cultivation appeared in the valley this time.

Although these people's talents were even worse than Zhao Qing's at the beginning, and the light of the spirit-testing plate could not be seen unless one looked carefully, this was a good sign, indicating that the magical seeds did have the function of stimulating talents.

Not only that, Zhao Qing also retested herself and found that her talent had improved slightly. It seemed that the magic seed also had the ability to improve talent, but the improvement was very small.

The three sons of the Zhao family all awakened their talents. Not to mention the youngest Zhao Dezhang, even the oldest Zhao Chengchuan had his mouth crooked with smile. After all, who doesn’t have a dream of becoming a god?

Only Wang Mei felt a little unhappy. She felt isolated. They were all family, so why was she the only one without anything?

No one knew how Zhao Chengchuan comforted Wang Mei, but Wang Mei eventually calmed down.

The three members of the Zhao family awakened with different attributes: Zhao Chengchuan was of the earth element, Zhao Deyan was of the wood element, and Zhao Dezhang was of the fire element. Zhao Qing handed them the three books of skills that he had prepared long ago, and also took out three complete marrow cleansing pills.

Before the three of them took the pill, Zhao Qing reminded them: "Swallowing this medicine will speed up your cultivation, but the process will be very painful, just like breaking all the bones in your body and then reorganizing them. If you are afraid of the pain, forget it."

Zhao Dezhang hesitated for a while, fear flashed across his face, but in the end, the attraction of cultivating immortals prevailed, and he picked up the pill with a fearless look on his face.

But Zhao Chengchuan did not hesitate for a second. That was cultivating immortality, so a little pain was nothing. Hesitating for a second would be disrespectful to the immortal.

Zhao Deyan also picked up the pill with a smile. Compared to the pain now, he was more afraid of the despair of being caught by someone he cared about in the future and being unable to do anything about it. The last time he went down the mountain, the ruthlessness and cruelty of those high-ranking officials taught him a good lesson.

Despite being mentally prepared, the three were still tortured to the point of screaming and screaming, and later on they couldn't even scream.

Fortunately, the three of them were strong-willed people, and even the youngest Zhao Dezhang managed to make it through. Enduring the huge pain certainly brought huge benefits, and the three of them successfully cultivated to the late stage of the first level, and their physical fitness was greatly enhanced.

In the short term, the three of them only need to absorb the energy in the air step by step. As for the means to deal with the enemy, that will be after a good foundation is laid. When is it considered a good foundation? At least break through the first three levels and reach the fourth level.

Zhao Qing has only reached the third level. She will have to wait until the next level to learn gold-related attack skills. At that time, she will be able to control metal at will to carry out long-range attacks.

Unlike mutated animals and plants, humans may really be abandoned by the world. Animals and plants that mutate on their own can comprehend skills without being restricted by their levels, but humans cannot. Not only do they have no skills, but they also need techniques to practice. They also have to reach level four to learn skills.

Perhaps it’s because they haven’t eaten enough magical seeds, so they haven’t reached the point of awakening on their own. They lack talent but have to make up for it with skills, so there are level requirements for learning skills.

Zhao Qing didn't want to guess what the reason was. Even if he knew, what could he do? He was still an ant struggling to survive. What's the point of thinking so much except adding to his troubles?

Putting aside his wild thoughts, Zhao Qing came to Li Wu's home. Both father and son had successfully unlocked their talents, Li Wu's fire element and Li Heng's wood element. He handed two books of exercises and two pills to Li Heng. Li Heng did not ask many questions. They looked at each other and smiled. Everything was said without words.

Among the more than 20 people who finally awakened their talents, there were Zhao Qing and Zhao Lan who had awakened long ago, two people from the gold element, seven people from the wood element, eight people from the water element, five people from the fire element, and four people from the earth element.

Of course, except for Zhao Qing's family and Zhao Lan, or Li Heng and his son who guessed some of the truth, the rest of the people just thought it was a new martial arts technique. No one knew that it was a completely different method of cultivating immortals from martial arts, so those who had not awakened in the valley were not very disappointed, and specializing in the first two techniques was enough.

These newly awakened people formed a new secret team, and the person in charge was of course Zhao Qing. Now they have not yet reached the requirements for learning skills, so Zhao Qing does not have much to do.

Seeing that most of the energy points had been consumed in the mall these days, Zhao Qing could no longer sit still. She took the villagers who were good at martial arts up the mountain to earn energy points.

This time, Zhao Qing set his sights on the second-order monsters. The team members had already mastered martial arts, and with the cooperation between the groups, they might not be a match for the early-stage second-order monsters.

When they returned to the valley, the team members' morale had become even stronger. They were agile, their eyes were bright, and they exuded a murderous aura. They were no less powerful than Zhao Qing's combat team in his previous life. Who would have believed that they were just some ordinary, timid farmers a year ago?
