Chapter 466: With a gun in hand, there is no panic in the heart
At the dining table, Li Zhongren quietly ate the dinner prepared by Li Ningshuang. To be honest, although this child is a genius in cultivating immortals, he is also very talented in cooking. For example, the bacon soup he is eating now, each piece of bacon is cut into squares, the soup is clear and the green leafy vegetables in it seem fresh. The heat is not more or less, it is called a soup, but in fact it is more like a pond.
Of course, it tastes even better when you drink it.
Salty, umami, and sweet aftertaste.
But there is not the slightest smell of muddy meat.
"Ningshuang."
"What's the matter, Master?"
"I remember your mother is still alive."
"Um"
"Do you miss her?"
"think"
After pondering for a long time, Li Ningshuang nodded.
"Do you want to go back and take a look?"
"Can I?"
Li Ningshuang carefully controlled her emotions, raised her head slightly, and stared at Li Zhongren's face.
"Yes, because I have to go out recently and I just happened to pass by the village where your mother is. In fact, if you want to go back, I will also take you back."
"not going back."
Li Ningshuang first smiled, then quickly shook her head.
"They won't accept me, and even if they do, they'll just sell me off again."
"Right."
Li Zhongren thought about it and felt that Li Ningshuang's speculation was not wrong.
To put it bluntly, Li Ningshuang's family is just a small family of a loose cultivation organization.
He vaguely remembered that the founder of the family was a cultivator who had reached perfect Qi training. He tried to reach the foundation-building stage but failed, damaging his foundation. He could barely maintain his cultivation, but it was almost impossible for him to make further progress. So he got married, had children, and built a small village near the Immortal Square.
Many independent cultivators would perform similar operations, taking the Immortal Pavilion as the center point and looking for places around to spread out.
This is not the point.
The point is that such small families, in order to concentrate resources, will take the social Darwin system to the extreme.
Even if they are your own children, as long as they have no spiritual roots, they can all be sold.
In particular, when these cultivators choose female companions, they will give priority to good-looking ones. Naturally, their offspring are not ugly either. Beautiful ones like Li Ningshuang are even more common. But no matter how beautiful they are, it is useless as long as they have no spiritual roots. If they have no value, they can only be sold.
Of course, then again, Li Ningshuang's family are at least normal people. He has heard that some families even support inbreeding for the so-called blood purification. Ethics are not present at all. As he said before, without the control of ethics and morals, these cultivators can do anything.
Li Zhongren would not criticize them, as long as they didn't disgust him in front of him.
But he also had to feel sad that Li Ningshuang was just unlucky to have met him. If she had been sold to another immortal cultivation family to be used as a breeding machine, she might have lived a peaceful life.
Unfortunately, right now, the little guy already has PTSD, and she doesn’t want to take another gamble on whether the next owner will be good or bad.
"Master, what are you going to do?"
"Go out and collect some things for cultivation."
Li Zhongren took a sip of the soup and then said.
Just now, in the study, he had completed the deduction of the Breathalyzer Technique.
This Qi training technique has been officially renamed the Sky-Swallowing Qi Technique.
After being deduced and modified, the biggest feature of this technique is that it can madly absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. To put it bluntly, it is like turning himself into a negative pressure chamber, but this negative pressure only applies to spiritual energy.
Once activated, it can instantly collect spiritual energy within a radius of several kilometers or even larger.
And more importantly, it also has unique advantages in digesting spiritual energy.
As mentioned before, after a cultivator absorbs spiritual energy, he needs to leave a mark on it. That is, the spirit and the energy must merge. Only then will this energy belong to the cultivator. Cultivating the Tao, in the final analysis, is about cultivating the spirit.
God is powerful enough that no matter how much spiritual energy is consumed, it can be quickly replenished through various means.
But if God is seriously injured, it will take time to recover.
Similarly, if the god is not powerful enough, even if you have the means to swallow a large amount of spiritual energy, you will not be able to digest it.
To be honest, in Li Zhongren's opinion, this god is more like stomach acid.
Therefore, taking this as an opportunity, he transformed his Heaven-Swallowing Air Technique into a Void Stomach, which has the ability to quickly digest spiritual energy and store it in his Dantian.
Here comes the key.
The human body really has Dantian, Zifu, Qihai and so on.
But the human body really doesn't have a void stomach.
The Heavenly Book can be deduced and cultivated, but it cannot be created out of nothing.
It’s just like Huawei in its previous life. It has the ability to design chips but not the ability to produce them. It’s the same principle.
The Void Stomach has been designed, but how do you make this stomach?
Therefore, Li Zhongren could only seek help from the heavenly book again.
The good news is, there is a way.
The bad news is, he's taking a risk.
According to the deduction of the Heavenly Book, if he wanted to solve the problem of the Void Stomach, he needed to leave the market and go outside. He didn't know where exactly, but Li Ningshuang's family was in that direction. From the memories of his previous life, he knew that although Li Ningshuang was sold, she had a good relationship with her mother.
After all, they were both stranded in the world, and her mother was also sold.
So, he thought that letting his little disciple go to see his mother might make him feel better.
After all, this little guy had been serving him quite comfortably these days.
"Thank you, master."
“That’s all I can do.”
Li Zhongren reached out and rubbed Li Ningshuang's furry head. You know what, it feels really good.
"master."
"Ok?"
"Do you need Ningshuang to sleep with you tonight?"
Li Ningshuang plucked up her courage and said with a blushing face.
"Not now, wait until you grow up."
Li Zhongren is naturally not Liu Xiahui who would not eat the meat put in his mouth, but he is also not a copper smelter. He would not do anything for a twelve-year-old girl even if no one in this world cared about her. This is his own insistence. He does not care what others do, he just needs to take care of himself.
"Why."
"Um"
Looking at Li Ningshuang's blinking eyes, Li Zhongren took a deep breath.
“How should I put it? It’s just like this dish.”
Finally, Li Zhongren pointed to another dish on the table.
"Stir-fried pork belly with bamboo shoots."
"This meat comes from spirit pigs. It takes time for spirit pigs to grow to this size. When they are young, they are too thin and not tasty."
"Oh"
Li Ningshuang nodded, obviously understanding what Li Zhongren meant. She was like a firewood girl now, without any meat, too thin.
"Then I will eat more recently and get fatter sooner."
Hearing this, Li Zhongren was speechless. However, he couldn't teach Li Ningshuang any physiological knowledge. Even if he did, she wouldn't understand.
Five hundred talismans are enough for the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Li Zhongren looked at the talismans in his storage bag, his heart filled with a sense of security.
After breaking through the ninth level of Qi training, not long after, he broke through to the tenth level of Qi training.
Therefore, he can now create talismans at the foundation-building stage. Of course, considering the time cost, the initial stage of foundation-building is the most cost-effective.
Therefore, with the help of the Heavenly Book, he raised his frequency to the maximum in one breath and directly created 500 talismans for the initial stage of foundation building, also in proportion to the four types of attack, defense, treatment, and concealment.
Of course, among these, attack spells are the most numerous, and they are all Gengjin Sword Qi Talismans!
The reason is very simple. The sword energy talisman has the strongest applicability, especially through the continuous injection of spiritual energy. When the spiritual pressure of the sword energy reaches a level that only a cultivator in the foundation-building stage can control, the sword energy itself will change in nature due to the change in pressure. For example, it will begin to have the attribute of breaking the law.
Also, sword energy can attract and overlap each other.
To put it bluntly, if Li Zhongren does not consider the consequences and uses all the talismans in his bag, even if he encounters a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, he will be in great trouble.
As expected, with a gun in hand, there is no need to panic.
The sense of security that the five hundred talismans brought him was beyond words.
Of course, the price was not cheap. In the mirror, he looked as if he had been trampled on by the female cultivators of the Hehuan Sect for a whole year.
So, Li Zhongren didn't bother to talk nonsense, took the pill, and fell asleep. He slept for two full days before he recovered.
"Master, are you... okay?"
Looking at Li Zhongren who was still a little haggard, Li Ningshuang asked with some concern.
"It's okay, it just took some effort. You pack up and we're ready to go."
"Yes, master."
It didn't take long for the master and disciple to finish packing.
Wearing the same cloak and makeup, no one could see Li Zhongren's face clearly. Li Ningshuang was wearing a mask, which Li Zhongren had bought specially for her. After all, this little girl was too pretty, and looking pretty when going out would easily attract attention. Although he was not afraid, it was not in his interest.
Standing at the door, Li Zhongren glanced at the room again to make sure that he had missed nothing, then led Li Ningshuang out of the residence and walked out of the fairy house.
Xianfang, Xianfang.
If there is a word "fang", there will naturally be a city wall.
However, people can come and go freely on weekdays, but today, Li Zhongren found that there were monks stopping the road at the gate for inspection and registration, but fortunately they were only for entry into the city.
Fellow Taoist, I don’t know what happened.
Li Zhongren didn't say anything, but just queued up to leave the city, but he listened carefully and found that someone with a curious mind asked a question.
The answer is that the manager of the Immortal House, the elder of the Tianshui Sect, had a son who was getting married and many cultivators came to congratulate him. In order to prevent the evil cultivators from coming to cause trouble, he set up checkpoints.
After hearing the result, Li Zhongren could only sneer.
Temporary cramming.
You don't check on normal days, but you check now. If there really is a demon cultivator who wants to mess with you, they would have set up a trap in advance and would not wait for you to check now. It's a waste of time to take off your pants and fart.
"Come up."
After leaving the Immortal Pavilion and coming outside, Li Zhongren took out a blanket from his storage bag.
Throw it into the air and it will just float there.
That’s right, this is one of the commonly used magic tools for traveling in the world of cultivation, the flying carpet.
As for why it is not a flying sword.
Since it is because the price is too expensive.
Flying swords are fast and can be used as magic weapons for attack. They can even be large or small. Some top-level flying swords can even be absorbed into the Dantian for warming.
That price was not something a small monk like him, who didn't dare to reveal his secret, could afford.
On the contrary, the flying carpet is equivalent to the three-wheeled vehicle in the automotive industry.
Slow and non-aggressive.
But the price is cheap.
And in fact, in Li Zhongren's opinion, it is more comfortable.
After all, you can control it while sitting.
"Yes, master."
"Go ahead."
After both of them sat on it, Li Zhongren made some hand gestures and controlled the flying carpet to take off.
However, for safety reasons, he did not fly too high, only a few dozen meters above the ground. At this distance, with his cultivation level of the tenth level of Qi training, he would be fine even if he fell down. After all, after reaching the tenth level of Qi training, according to his destructive power and physical strength, if thrown to the earth, he would at least be a small BOSS-level. Things like tanks would no longer pose any threat to him.
Even conventional missiles would be of little use if used in conjunction with the spell.
This is the power of cultivation civilization, the perfect combination of individual strength and mobility.
The wind whistled beside my ears.
Li Zhongren could hold up the protective qi, but there was no need.
A flying carpet is not a flying sword. If a flying sword is not protected by protective qi, the wind resistance can even blow a person off. After all, the speed of a flying sword, if it belongs to those powerful beings, is already comparable to that of a fighter jet.
But to be honest, the flying carpet only has a speed of about 60 to 70 miles per hour.
Naturally, there is no need.
Li Zhongren controlled the flying carpet while looking around.
This was the first time he left the Immortal House since he traveled through time.
It was also the first time I really saw the outside world.
As for his previous life, he knew that he was a waste, so after he went to the Immortal House with great effort, he never left again.
Therefore, I only have a vague impression of everything outside.
At this moment, Li Zhongren could see it clearly.
In this world where everything serves the purpose of cultivating the true self, the secular environment is indeed very backward.
The places we saw, the villages and small towns, all looked like they did in ancient times.
In fact, it is understandable that in this world, anyone with a little talent will work hard to cultivate himself.
Even if those who are talented but have no spiritual roots come up with some inventions, they may be snatched away by monks before they can reap the fruits.
You see, Li Zhongren can obviously produce a large number of talismans himself, but he doesn't dare to sell them.
But the good news is.
The natural environment of this world shouldn't be that bad.
The area around Xianfang is not completely uninhabited.
From time to time, you can see the villages and towns below.
But apart from that, the most numerous are forests, grasslands, deserted fields, and various wild animals.
To be honest, at first glance, it's quite novel and has a kind of natural beauty, but after looking at it for a while, you will feel bored.
At this time, he finally understood why the cultivators in this world were willing to gather in the Immortal Pavilion.
Perhaps, there is a possibility that Xianfang is a relatively prosperous place in this world.
Of course, this is just his current judgment of this world. After all, this world is too big, and it is hard to say what other places are like.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, just as Li Zhongren was sighing, his ears moved slightly.
The body, with most of the authority taken over by the Heavenly Book, possesses perception that is not inferior to that of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
So he raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
Can you finally bear it no longer?
Yes, from the moment he left Xianfang, he realized that he was being followed.
He was sure that he would never reveal his true colors because of the deductions from the Heavenly Book.
Then, these people should be the robbers who have lived outside the Immortal House all year round, similar to bandits.
These people particularly favored single monks like himself, especially those who rode on flying carpets instead of swords.
Although the money is not much, but without a flying sword, it means that the combat effectiveness is average and the safety is average.
Also good.
Li Zhongren did not point this out, because he also needed a fight. After all, he also needed to see blood.
