Time flies, and months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Shen Mo and Chen Mengze have settled down at the foot of a large mountain called Yuanbao Mountain in the Border Mountains.
The shape of this mountain is like a gold ingot. In addition, there are a large number of birds, animals and precious herbs in the mountain, which can sustain the livelihood of the mountain people and earn gold and silver, so it was named this!
Whether it is Yuanbao Mountain or the Border Mountains, there are many villages composed of mountain and border people;
However, most mountain villages do not allow outsiders to move in, so Shen and Mo built a three-room house using rock, tree trunks, thatch and other materials a few miles away from a mountain village called "Taojia Village". The quiet courtyard of the house.
In the past few months, Shen Mo and Chen Mengze often went into the mountains together to collect rare herbs in various dangerous places, and then brewed them into decoctions and took them, using the power of the medicine to maintain their original Taoism as much as possible.
However, this world has no immortality and no aura;
Various herbal materials are not very spiritual. They can only use their original medicinal properties to nourish qi and blood.
There are also so-called "spiritual medicines" and "magic weapons", but as Shen Mo imagined, these extraordinary things involve the existence of gods and cannot be obtained easily. Even if there is a way to purchase "spiritual pills", they can't. It won't go into your mouth.
From General Bloodscar, the two of them got a lot of useful information;
Shen Mo went out several times, communicating with "experts" from various places, asking for information, and barely sketched out the general appearance of the world here!
This world is somewhat similar to his previous life, with hundreds of human kingdoms, large and small, constantly at war with each other;
The place where he and Chen Mengze fell was located in the Qing Kingdom. This country is the largest country within a radius of thousands of miles. General Bloodscar and his more than a thousand knights are the army of the Qing Kingdom. On the other side of the border mountains is the Qing Kingdom. The warring country of Ji.
This blue planet is indeed a world where immortality is extinct, but there are millions of "gods" in this world!
The mysterious power in General Bloodscar is the power of the gods.
Shen Mo didn't know what level and form these so-called "gods" existed, whether they were powerful beings or evil spirits without independent personalities.
In the eyes of the natives of this world, the gods in the world can be divided into good gods and evil gods;
But from Shen Mo's perspective, the so-called righteous god is actually not fundamentally different from the evil god!
Generals such as Bloodscar and more than a thousand cavalry are all disciples of one of the righteous gods. They will sacrifice their own flesh, blood, souls and even longevity to borrow mysterious power from the gods, and rely on the blessing of the mysterious power to make themselves extremely powerful. Fight with the enemy.
For example, the mountain people in "Taojia Village" also worship several so-called righteous gods, who can protect them from wild beasts, heal their injuries, and improve their martial arts!
However, their efforts and gains were completely out of proportion.
For example, when Shen Mo performs the Immortal Technique of Sacrifice, he is also sacrificing his own essence and spiritual origin, and the effect he exerts is set at 100%... Then this world sacrifices flesh, blood and soul to the gods, and the power in exchange can only be exerted by half Effect!
Therefore, the humans in this world, whether they are mortals or strong men, as long as they are disciples of gods, will probably not live to be sixty years old.
Of course, after borrowing the power of the gods, you can also practice through various widely circulated methods to strengthen your own spiritual origin; but as your strength increases, if you want to achieve the same increase effect as before, you need to borrow Come more power from the gods.
As a result, more sacrifices are made to the gods, and they still cannot survive for long!
No matter how you look at it, this planet looks like a breeding ground for evil gods.
Similarly, if Shen Mo and Chen Mengze obtained "miraculous elixirs" and "magic weapons", they would also need to offer sacrifices to the gods to activate the efficacy of the elixirs and weapons. What they received was far less than what they paid for.
Soon after living outside Taojia Village.
Shen Mo went out several times and sold all the captured dragon horses and strange beasts, as well as the armors and accessories from General Blood Scar in the ghost market in the border mountains, leaving only the six-legged horse. Jiao Ma and Bai Smelting Knife earned more than a hundred taels of gold.
After that, he spent more than half of his gold to buy several rough training books!
After research, it was found that the cultivation method in this world is also a method of sacrificing oneself in exchange for the power of the gods. With the stimulation of this external force, one relies on hard work to strengthen one's body and soul;
Through practice, you can borrow more and withstand more power from the gods!
Shen Mo and Chen Mengze immediately gave up the idea of practicing in this world and avoided this kind of "cultivation".
Even if they do nothing, as long as they maintain their Taoism, they can still live as long as they originally had... Shen Mo can live for another two thousand years, and Chen Mengze can live for nearly a thousand years. But once they practice this method, they will become If you become a disciple of a god, you will fall into a place of eternal destruction. It would be great to live for 180 years!
Fortunately, Shen Mo's physical body is strong and he can use his special destiny. In this world, as long as he does not provoke the gods and the strongest disciples of the gods, it is not difficult to protect himself and Chen Mengze.
Moreover, Shen Mo discovered that after wearing the [Special] Destiny, he had an extraordinary increase in damage to both the disciples of the righteous god and the disciples of the evil god!
In this way, he became more and more convinced that these so-called gods were demons and evil spirits.
In addition, he also picked out the special destiny of [body as light as a swallow] from a lot of useless things...
[Body as light as a swallow (green): Wearing this destiny can make your body lighter and walk like flying. 】
Before going to the Jade Cui Cave, Shen Mogang consumed a lot of destiny points to improve the quality of [Cicada Awakening], [Supreme], and [Vajra Body]. There was not much destiny left in him, and in this world where the immortal way is not obvious, Accumulating destiny points is very slow.
At the moment, he is working hard to save up and prepares to raise the level of [Skin Light as a Swallow]. When the time comes, whether he is on the road or defending against enemies, it will be as convenient as practicing the magic of lightness.
However, the accumulated destiny points cannot be fully used for this destiny;
After all, besides the physical body, the only extraordinary method Shen Mo can use is his special destiny, and he has to leave a lot of destiny points just in case.
If he encounters a dangerous danger that is difficult to deal with in the future, depending on the situation, he can temporarily increase one or two worthless destiny, or draw new destiny from the destiny pool to help him survive the crisis!
It's the day.
It was just getting dark.
In the house, Shen Mo was sitting next to the stone stove, carefully adding herbs to the pot to make a decoction that nourished qi and blood.
Chen Mengze, who had lost some weight, brought him a bundle of firewood, then closed the door with a creak and inserted a bolt made of hard iron wood!
