Chapter 353: World Wheel
Chapter 353: Reincarnation
"What a shame! The Qingyun Sect is so blind that they actually missed out on our two peerless geniuses!"
Li Quanqing was walking down the mountain with a staggering step, still thinking about the scene on the Huanxin Stage just now.
Next to him, a skinny boy with dark skin and as thin as a dog was chattering incessantly with a look of regret on his face.
Li Quanqing did not say anything. He just stopped and looked at the reflection on the water when passing by a misty lake.
What came into view was a boy wearing coarse linen clothes and with some stunted growth. He looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, with an ordinary appearance.
"What, Quanqing, are you hungry? I still have some buns that the immortal gave me. Now that we have money, we can't just drink water to fill our stomachs like beggars did before!"
Although the thin and dark boy next to him talked a lot, he was actually quite honest. He took out two white and tender meat buns from his bag.
"Erhou, you are still far-sighted. I have already eaten all those buns."
Subconsciously, Li Quanqing blurted out the name of the thin and dark boy, and his words were extremely skillful.
He held the meat bun in his hand. Although it had already gone cold, the soft touch and the faint smell of meat seemed so real.
"I've already told you that you should call me Li Zhonghou now. We are the seedlings of immortals, and we will definitely become great figures who will be crowned as kings or marquises in the future!"
Li Erhou continued to chatter, pulling his friends towards the foot of the mountain, surrounded by boys and girls who had failed the trial.
Li Quanqing did not resist. His stomach was churning with acid and his belly was growling with hunger. He bit the bun hard into his mouth.
The cold meat buns taste a bit greasy, but the delicious juice mixed with the aroma of wheat blooms in your mouth, so delicious that you want to bite your tongue off.
Li Quanqing finished the bun in just a few bites. He felt that he had never eaten anything so delicious before and his whole body was warm.
I also recalled my origins thoroughly.
His name is Li Quanqing, he is a time traveler that can be found everywhere in the street, and he is fifteen years old.
His parents, who had been farmers for generations, died in the war. He followed the refugees into the capital and became a beggar. There he met this good friend, and together they made a living in the refugee slum, competing for food with stray dogs in the alley.
Just when Li Quanqing thought that this was the end of his life because the golden finger had not been awakened, suddenly an immortal descended on the capital and all children of the appropriate age could go to have their spirits tested.
Fortunately, both of them were found to have spiritual roots, and he himself was found to have middle-grade spiritual roots, so he was sent to this Jindan sect for trials.
"It's hard to enter a sect nowadays, and I have to consider my future path. Perhaps it would be nice to be a casual cultivator and enjoy wealth and glory in a secular dynasty in the future?"
Li Quanqing was thinking about where he came from.
The second monkey took out another bun and asked, "The meat buns are delicious, right? You must not be full. Do you want another one?"
"I'm full, but I want another one. I want to save it for Ao Qing. He's the greediest guy."
Li Quanqing was originally distracted in his thinking, and he spoke almost subconsciously, saying an unexpected name.
"Ao Qing, who is that? Is that a new friend you met during the trial?"
Li Quanqing looked at his friend's dark eyes and saw a hint of anger and questioning in them. Even the delicious meat buns were put away by the other party.
His eyes were confused, and the memories in his mind surged and became blurred again. He muttered to himself: "Ao Qing, it seems to be a dragon I raised, or the legendary Golden Core Demon King..."
“Hahahaha! Quan Qing, you haven’t woken up yet, still immersed in the false illusion. The legendary Golden Core Demon can crush us to death with just a breath, how could it possibly be your pet!”
Li Erhou laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward, tears were about to come out of his eyes, and he made several faces at him.
"You...don't laugh!"
Li Quanqing also felt a little embarrassed, his cheeks felt hot and red like a tomato.
They chased and played, and ran directly down the mountain, full of the youthful vigor.
Li Quanqing looked back one last time. The sacred mountain of Qingyun Sect had been shrouded in fog. Only a bluestone mountain road was vaguely visible, and the towering mountain gate building was also hidden in the formation.
Several cranes flapped their wings and flew, making clear and pleasant calls, leaping up from the clouds, just like these young men with different destinies, with uncertain futures. Unexpectedly, the foot of the mountain was not deserted, but many monks had gathered, all from various small families, and it was quite lively.
"Fairy seedlings! The fairy seedlings are coming down!"
"My fellow immortals, I am from the Qi-refining immortal family, the Huangqi Zhang family. I am proficient in the art of alchemy and I am in urgent need of a few spiritual plant husbands to look after the medicinal fields. The salary is generous. I wonder if there are any..."
Although these immortal seedlings have not passed the sect's assessment, they still have spiritual roots and are very attractive to some small forces. They can consider marrying into the family and expanding their strength.
"Quanqing, should we join a family? Although we will most likely still have to be tenant farmers in the world of immortal cultivation, it is better than begging for a living as an independent cultivator."
"Or should we go to those foundation-building sects and give it a try? With your mid-grade spiritual roots, there is definitely a good chance, but the journey is a bit far..."
Li Erhou opened his eyes wide and looked at these small families who had come from all over the world, with a bit of longing on his face.
"Family...it seems like I am from a certain Li clan...and I even became their ancestor..."
Li Quanqing fell into confusion again, memories surging in his mind, almost breaking through certain restrictions and ready to burst out.
"My two young friends, are you willing to come to my Bi Bo Zhou family? My family controls the Baili Bi Bo Lake, which has endless waters and fishing boats singing in the evening. It is the most suitable place to be a family fisherman!"
"If you are sincere, you can even marry a girl from my tribe. She is fair-skinned, beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered. She is a good choice for a son-in-law!"
A middle-aged man with a kind face came forward, his words were quite sincere, and the conditions he offered were very tempting.
When Li Quanqing heard the words "family fishermen and farmers", it was as if the key words were triggered, and his lost memories finally broke free and returned, pouring out like a torrent.
He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the confusion on his face was gone, leaving only a depth like the ocean.
"Erhou..."
Li Quanqing called out his friend's name softly.
"What's wrong, Quan Qing?"
Li Erhou turned his head curiously and was asking the middle-aged man questions in detail, looking quite excited.
"Thank you, the meat buns are delicious. If there is a chance, I will treat you to big buns stuffed with dragon meat!"
Li Quanqing's eyes were clearer than ever before. Without waiting for his friend to answer, he pointed a finger, and his magic power was overwhelming. Suddenly, the wind and clouds surged between heaven and earth.
It was as if space and time stood still, the confusion and astonishment on Li Erhou's face froze, and everyone at the foot of the mountain was completely frozen. Then, with a click, the space shattered and the illusion ended.
……
Li Quanqing blinked, as if waking up from a dream, but the illusion he had expected did not end. Instead, he came to a more dangerous scene.
“Hehehe! You are worthy of being the Taoist priest of Tianhe who appears once in ten thousand years. The demonic illusion that I have carefully woven cannot shake you in the slightest…”
Li Quanqing looked at the Nascent Soul thunder tribulation that had not yet dissipated above his head. The mighty power of heaven was overwhelming, and the voices of the devil came to his ears. Dreamy mist scattered, disturbing his mind.
"roll!!"
He let out a loud roar, but this time he did not sink into despair. He completely saw through the illusion and his will was as firm as iron. The sound waves shook the heaven and earth, and even the terrible heavenly calamity was turned into dust.
With a click, the illusion before his eyes shattered again, revealing spider-web-like cracks, and the extraterritorial demon was torn into pieces with unwilling wails.
When Li Quanqing woke up again, he was shocked to find himself back in modern times. He was wearing a surgical gown, forced to lie on the operating table, with restraints tied all over his body.
"Not good! The patient woke up during the operation, the anesthesiologist increased the dosage!"
Looking around the operating table, a group of doctors were holding blades, bleeding and looking anxious, preparing to cut open his flesh and blood.
Li Quanqing slashed out a sword energy that reached the sky, with murderous aura: "Want to dig out my golden elixir? Die!"
With a loud bang, the illusion was shattered again, as if it would never end!
