…
When Zhou Changwang opened his eyes, he saw the attribute panel in front of him.
I… am not dead?
Thinking of this, Zhou Changwang felt angry.
He has always cherished his life and rarely goes out. Even if he has to go out, he will try his best to keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions. After all, there are more and more cars in the streets and alleys. He doesn't want news about himself to appear on various media platforms and be condemned and commented on.
Especially his superstitious mother, who had specially found an old man to tell him about his fortune, said that he should avoid long journeys and should avoid vehicles...
Although he didn't believe it, he would always be careful when walking on the road and walk on the sidewalk as much as possible.
As a result, after he had to go out this time, he walked on the sidewalk in an orderly manner, but saw an out-of-control car, ignoring the 30-centimeter stone steps, and crashed into him...
"It seems that some things, whether you believe it or not, should be held in a certain awe."
Zhou Changwang muttered in his heart, and was thinking about whether to fulfill a wish, when he suddenly felt a shock in his heart.
Scattered memories suddenly appeared in his mind.
After a long time.
He came back to his senses silently.
His face showed a look of joy and sorrow.
At this moment, he finally confirmed that he was dead before.
And now, he has traveled through time.
Traveled to a completely unfamiliar world.
The world of immortal cultivation!
At this time, his name was the same as before, Zhou Changwang, and he was a casual cultivator living in Fengmingwu Market.
What is a casual cultivator?
It means a cultivator who has no roots and can only rely on himself for all cultivation.
He has reached the second level of Qi training.
Now he manages three acres of spiritual fields outside Fengmingwu Market.
His usual job is to cultivate and protect the three acres of spiritual fields, hoping to get a certain amount of spiritual rice in the autumn harvest, in exchange for spiritual stones to supply his own cultivation.
His father is a mortal who practices martial arts and is a martial arts innate among mortals. He was originally the martial arts leader of a mortal country. In pursuit of immortality, he gave up everything and came to Fengmingwu Market, where he has been rooted for twenty years.
Unfortunately, without spiritual roots, he has no hope of cultivating immortals. As a last resort, he placed his hopes on his offspring.
So, he tried every means to find a female cultivator with spiritual roots, and after the union, Zhou Changwang was born.
"If it were in the mortal world, with my father's innate martial arts, he would have enjoyed endless wealth and glory.
Unfortunately, this is the world of immortal cultivation."
Zhou Changwang sighed with emotion.
There was an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes.
The world of immortal cultivation.
"In other words.
Can you become an immortal?
Live long and have an endless lifespan..."
In his previous life, he was just an ordinary person, and his dream had long been worn away by the trivialities of life. But even the biggest fantasy was nothing more than financial freedom and returning home in wealth...
But in this world, you can become an immortal.
Although he knew very well that this hope was extremely slim.
What's more, he has all five spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Although his aptitude is not inferior, it only allows him to barely have the possibility of cultivation.
If there is no special opportunity, the Qi training stage is his limit.
And the Qi training stage, in terms of lifespan, is actually not much different from that of ordinary people.
Therefore, his father gave up the idea of sending him to the sect, and instead sent him to the Lingzhitang in Fengmingwu Market. He was an apprentice for five years. Until the beginning of this year, with the help of his father, he rented three acres of spiritual fields and could barely survive on his own in this market.
"It's hard to cultivate immortals.
It's not as ethereal and natural as I imagined.
I just face the loess and sweat every day, and that's not enough for daily cultivation..."
Zhou Changwang recalled the memories in his mind and couldn't help sighing.
The daily life of his predecessor was indeed completely different from what he had imagined before.
At the beginning of the year, he had planted spiritual grains in the three acres of spiritual fields, but the growth of the spiritual grains required care.
Loosening the soil, weeding, pest control, fertilizing, spiritual rain irrigation... If one is not handled well, it will affect the growth and reduce the output.
After being taken care of by a spiritual planter, the yield per mu of spiritual fields is usually more than 500 kilograms. According to the current market price, 10 kilograms of spiritual rice is calculated as one low-grade spiritual stone, which means that one mu of spiritual fields can produce 50 low-grade spiritual stones.
Three mu of spiritual fields means 150 low-grade spiritual stones.
It seems like a lot, but the cost of renting a spiritual field is not small.
At the beginning, Lingzhitang gave two options. One was to charge 30 low-grade spiritual stones per mu, and 90 low-grade spiritual stones for three mu. The second was to charge 10 low-grade spiritual stones per mu, plus 50% of the income from the spiritual grain output. If the yield per mu was less than 40 low-grade spiritual stones, the remaining 20 low-grade spiritual stones would need to be paid to Lingzhitang.
In order to save money, he chose the second option.
In other words, after a year of hard work, based on an output of 500 kilograms per mu, he could only earn 45 low-grade spiritual stones.
This was still a good year. If there were insect pests or disasters, the output would decrease significantly, or even nothing would be harvested.
By then, the remaining 20 low-grade spiritual stones would need to be borne by himself.
In short, Lingzhitang will never lose money.
The original body had to practice while hoeing the fields every day, which was naturally very hard.
"Fortunately, I finally brought something with me this time."
Zhou Changwang couldn't help but look at his attribute panel again.
Name: Zhou Changwang
Life span: 17/75
Cultivation: Qi training level 2 (21/100)
Kungfu: Five Elements Secret (85/100 for beginners)
Skills: Spiritual Rain (135/200 for mastery), Cleansing (59/100 for beginners), Inducing Birth (63/100 for beginners), Gengjin Finger (13/100 for beginners)
…
Although he didn't know where this panel came from, he had read 3,000 online novels and could easily understand the meaning.
Obviously, all the information recorded on it was about him.
Seventeen years old, with a total life span of seventy-five years.
Cultivation level of the second level of Qi training.
The immortal cultivation method "Five Elements Secret", and the spells he knew were exactly the four types of Spiritual Rain, Cleansing, Inducing Birth and Gengjin Finger…
Among them, entry and mastery are easy to understand.
He knew that no matter what kind of skills or spells, there were various levels, entry level, mastery, minor success, major success, and perfection.
For example, the four spells he mastered, Cleansing, Inducing Birth, and Gengjin Finger, were all entry-level, while the Small Spirit Rain was mastery. From memory, he knew that the effect was indeed better than the entry-level stage.
The only thing that puzzled him was the corresponding value after the entry-level mastery.
Is it experience value or proficiency?
How can it be improved?
Thinking of this, he could not sit still.
