Helping each other with countless me.

Chapter 291: There must be an antidote within seven steps of the poisonous snake

"The so-called immortal is nothing more than this."

Li Zhongren looked at the body lying in his yard and muttered to himself indifferently.

Seventeen years ago, he traveled to a world similar to ancient China, roughly similar in style to the Tang and Song dynasties.

However, it was an imaginary dynasty.

And, this world has extraordinary power.

That is what is called immortal.

High above, high up and high down.

Because they possess a power that ordinary people cannot resist.

However, Li Zhongren also discovered something strange.

That is, if we follow normal logic, in a world with "immortals", the secular dynasties are nothing more than their vassals, they come when they are called and go when they are dismissed, and it is even normal for them to kill a few of you for fun if they are unhappy.

However, in Nanxi County, during the few sacrificial activities in which the Supreme Immortals participated, he observed from afar and found that the local county magistrate was not afraid of these so-called Supreme Immortals.

From that moment on, he knew that the immortals in this world were not the same as the cultivators he had seen in previous online novels.

There must be some drawback that makes the mortal world's forces not afraid of them.

Until today, until this moment.

When this so-called immortal.

In fact, he was an evil monk who wanted to absorb his blood to heal his wounds, but he happened to activate the shared space and killed him.

From his soul, he obtained almost all the information he wanted.

Four words.

Refining immortality in the mortal world.

The power of immortals comes from the mortal world.

However, it is just like a person needs to drink water, but if he falls into the water he will drown.

The same is true for immortals. They need to absorb the power of the mortal world and refine it into their own immortal power.

However, if you fall into the world of mortals, you will eventually be refined by it.

This is what this person said.

After translation and summary by Li Harry.

Li Zhongren could have put it in a simpler and more popular way.

in short.

The power used by the immortals in this world actually comes from the Alaya consciousness, which is the so-called red dust.

It’s just that the Alaya consciousness is too vast, and they need to be careful when absorbing the power of the Alaya consciousness.

Even after entering the mortal world, they have to use secret methods to seal the acupoints all over their bodies to prevent the power of Alaya consciousness from penetrating into their bodies.

So, in fact, I just shook the acupoints of this evil cultivator.

The red dust penetrated into his body, causing his strength to be unbalanced and he died on the spot.

As for why the secular dynasties are not afraid of these immortals.

In fact, the reason is very simple, because mortals living in the red dust are protected by the red dust, that is, the Alaya consciousness.

Especially, the more important the person is, the more so.

Officials, royal family members, and immortals would love to hide away. If you kill them, you will be entangled by a large amount of worldly power. At the very least, you will lose all your power, and at the worst, you will be killed on the spot. And all the participants will be implicated. You think you can hide the truth and kill people with a borrowed knife, but it's useless.

This is why, even though this is a world with cultivators, the mortal world is still so prosperous.

Just like the Nanxi County where Li Zhongren lives.

In his opinion, its prosperity was not even inferior to that of the Republic of China, the only difference was in technology.

After all, the power of the mortal world protects the ruling class of the mortal world and can integrate ordinary people who are like a pile of scattered sand.

Also, although becoming an immortal brings happiness and joy, the price is also huge, which is why emperors of all dynasties gave up the idea of ​​establishing an immortal dynasty. It’s not that no one has tried it.

All those who tried it eventually failed.

Just like their current dynasty, the Darong Dynasty, the last emperor of the dynasty before the Darong Dynasty wanted to cultivate immortality, but the power of the mortal world backfired and the entire royal family died instantly.
"But it still needs to be repaired."

Li Zhongren reached out and began to touch the corpse.

Although cultivating immortals is full of hardships and restrictions, the mere thought of immortality is enough to make many people yearn for it.

Besides, you don’t have to practice hard all the time, you can occasionally come down the mountain and roll around in the secular world.

It's like losing weight, cultivating immortality is equivalent to dieting and exercising, and the secular world is equivalent to indulging in meals.

You won’t live long if you indulge in food every day, so what’s the point of living that long if you diet forever?

So the key is to find a balance.

"Visualization Picture"

A moment later, Li Zhongren took out a piece of parchment from the man's body, glanced at it, and memorized it.

This is his talent and also his only cheat.

Brother Li Elden hopes that he will delve into the way of cultivating immortals, so through the fruit of wishing, he can exchange all his potential abilities into talents for cultivating immortals. As for his own safety, they will provide protection for it.

This is equivalent to making a movie, and before it is released, there is capital to buy it out, guaranteeing that you will not lose money.

However, the situation here is the same as that of Li Mori. They belong to a multiverse far away from the border, and the signal is not very good. Therefore, the way to protect themselves is the compression package tactics they have studied.

It's impossible to be perfect, so you still have to be careful.

Of course, he didn't care. After all, he would have died without other people's help, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to take some risks after this.

Especially since it is only in the early stage, the genius that you exchanged for can allow you to grow up in a short time and have the ability to protect yourself.

Just like this visualization picture, he only took a glance at it and remembered it completely.

The body even started to move along.

The earthly power between heaven and earth was absorbed into the body through the pores, and then slowly refined into immortal power.
"Da~"

With a snap of his fingers, the corpse disappeared. Li Zhongren packed it up and sent it to Li Harry, asking him to study it himself.

Seventeen years ago, he traveled to the Darong Dynasty and became an orphan.

All I can say is that he was lucky. His crying attracted people's attention. He was not taken away by the wolf, nor did he starve to death. Instead, he grew up eating food from many families.

Naturally, he also returned the favor by using his later knowledge to discuss with Muramasa and changing the village bit by bit.

Of course, it is just to let people breathe a sigh of relief. If more is taken out, it will probably go to the local gentry and bandits.

Therefore, in the past seventeen years, he could only say that he had not starved to death.

And now that he can cultivate immortality, shouldn't he take revenge when he has a grudge and settle a grudge when he has a grudge?
As for the backlash of the power of the mortal world, sorry, the power of the mortal world is most concerned with cause and effect. For an evil cultivator like this who sucks blood to practice, he is bound to be entangled in the mortal world. He must return all the harm he has suffered from these people over the years. In the eyes of the power of the mortal world, this is just legal revenge, so he doesn't bother to care.
"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Coming."

While I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

Li Zhongren said as he opened the door.

At some point, a few constables were standing outside the door.

"Li Er, have you ever seen this person?"

The constable held up a wanted warrant.

"Your Excellency, no." In this era, if you don't have money, don't deal with the government, so Li Zhongren naturally responded like this.

"Search!"

The chief constable didn't say anything, but just waved his hand. The other constables rushed into his house and started searching.

After a while, these people left with a sullen look on their faces.

The reason is also very simple.

Their search was fake, but their intention to make money was real.

The development of magic has changed a lot since then. They are unwilling to confront the imperial court as the cost is huge. However, killing a few ordinary people is not a big deal, so even if these detectives see it, they will not say anything.

They are just taking advantage of this opportunity to make money. Whatever valuable they find will be theirs.

If you ordinary people dare to talk back, it means you are related to the wanted criminal. You will be caught and thrown into jail and suffer heavy consequences.

His family was so poor that they had nothing but the walls of their house and could not even afford to eat their next meal.

These detectives naturally looked helpless.

His family was so poor that even mice would leave with tears in their eyes.
"Damn it, this is so unlucky."

The constable left, and several people were whispering on the road.

"We are all poor people in this area. Zheng Tou's team went to the rich area. I guess they must have made a lot of money."

"Then what can you do? Zheng Tou's sister is the county magistrate's concubine, and the county magistrate's wife died of illness. What's the difference between her and the wife now? If there is anything lucrative, then naturally you can turn to her brother."

"Okay, shut up. If someone hears you gossiping behind your back, you'll get punished."

"I know, I know"

"By the way, do you know where this person comes from?"

"Who is he? A casual cultivator of the evil sect."

The small leader among the detectives took a breath and said.

"He practices a magic technique that sucks human blood. However, that's not the point. The point is that he recently committed a crime and stole something from a nobleman. He was chased and beaten, and hid in our Nancy County. Now the entire county is under martial law, and he can't escape, so we were sent here to search."

Having said that, the little leader looked at them again.

"You say that searching this area is bad luck for me, but I tell you, this is a good thing. Not only do those evil cultivators kill people without blinking an eye, but all evil cultivators are just living for the moment. They can't get used to a hard life, so if they want to hide, they must be hiding in the homes of the rich to eat and drink the best food and drink."

"If he sees us, even if we don't say anything, he might kill us if he's unhappy."

"That's true"

The sound is getting farther and farther away
Li Zhongren also withdrew his attention.

So, what he stole should be the visualization picture.

That was the only precious thing on his body. If there was something more precious, it would not be possible to pack it up and send it away. In a sense, this was also a way to test the good things.

Moreover, there is no means of positioning on this thing.

Li Zhongren took out the visualization diagram again.

Otherwise, there would be no need for these detectives to risk their lives to search private homes.

“It is indeed not an ordinary item.”

As mentioned before, Li Zhongren's talent was as high as several stories high, so he remembered all of the picture after just one glance. At the same time, his body even began to actively practice this visualization picture.

Golden Silkworm Kung Fu

This is the name of this visualization diagram.

If he had to describe the content, Li Zhongren felt that it was a bit like Spider-Man.

If you master this skill, you can spray silk through your fingers.

These silks are invulnerable to swords and guns, and are resistant to water and fire, and can be either coarse or fine.

It can sway like Spider-Man, and it can also be like the Guzheng Project in The Three-Body Problem, turning these silks into the sharpest blades in an instant.

What’s even more interesting is that when this technique is practiced to the extreme, it can also transform from a cocoon into a butterfly.

Of course, this is just an allegory.

In fact, it makes people reborn.

In every aspect, it's good.

However, Li Zhongren's extraordinary talent still made him notice some disharmony in this technique.

In short, there are pitfalls in this technique.

Where is the pit?
That is to say, once a person who practices this technique forms a cocoon, he or she will fall into a deep sleep and will not be able to wake up unless he or she has special external skills.

Combined with the name of this exercise.

He thought of a possibility, that the silkworm breeders took silk.
"Your Highness, we have searched Nancy County thoroughly and have not found any suspects."

"Has anyone been injured or killed?"

A cultivator at the side asked.

"Reporting to the Immortal, no detectives are missing or injured."

"Let them all come over here."

"Yes."

A moment later, a large group of detectives were called to the courtyard of the county government office.

The immortal cultivator waved his hand and scattered a handful of powder. The powder expanded in the wind and instantly enveloped the constables, but there was no reaction.

That person has special marks on his body. Whenever someone appears near him, the tracking powder will react.
"Eh?"

Suddenly, the immortal cultivator set his eyes on several constables.

"Come here."

"Yes."

really
After walking in and taking a closer look, he found that the tracking powder did react on their bodies, but it was very faint. This proved that they had come into contact with certain people, and among those people, someone had come into contact with the suspect.

"List the areas you patrol."

Nanxi County defense map.

It was spread out on the table, with the areas that those people were patrolling marked on it.

A total of 137 households
There was a red X on each one, proving that they were not, and now, there was only one house left, a run-down house at the end of the alley.

"I didn't expect this guy to do the opposite and hide in a poor man's home."

On the side, another cultivator spoke up.

"When are we going to catch him?"

"Let's do it tonight. He is seriously injured and won't recover for a while. It will be easier for us to succeed if we attack him at night when he is sleepy."

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Xin."

The two were servants of the royal palace. Prince Yong's son was ill, so Prince Yong got such a precious visualization diagram and wanted him to practice it. However, the diagram was stolen by an evil practitioner before he could practice it.

So, they sent the two of them, along with the palace's black-armored soldiers, to hunt down this evil cultivator.

He tracked and fought all the way, seriously injuring him, and then ordered the black armor soldiers to use military formations to block the entire Nancy County. His goal was to recover the cultivation map. Of course, it would be even better if he could catch the evil cultivator.
