In the end, Cheng Sheng did not dare to eat the 'Qi Gathering Pill', or the 'Tao Fruit Pill', but used his spiritual power to crush it to pieces.
When the surrounding villagers saw it, they complained that they were wasting their natural resources.
However, in the eyes of everyone, Cheng Sheng has always been this crazy, so after lamenting for a few times, he became accustomed to it.
They held the 'Dao Fruit Pill' and 'Xuan Tian Qi Lian Jue' in their arms, and went back to their houses to practice with joy.
…
The next day.
Chengsheng discovered that after obtaining the "Xuan Tian Qi Lian Jue" technique and the "Tao Fruit Pill", the people in the village became even weirder than before.
In just one night, more than half of the villagers became emaciated.
Their eye sockets were sunken, their eyeballs were bulging due to swelling, and numerous bumpy pink tumors appeared on their chins.
Chengsheng sees these changes.
He once tried to remind the villagers that there was something wrong with the immortals of the Xuantian Sect, and the exercises and elixirs they gave them were all fake.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, the villagers would stare at Cheng Sheng with their bulging eyeballs, their eyes full of resentment and aversion.
After realizing something was wrong, Chengshuo didn't dare to say any more.
As the only normal person in the village, he chose to be a bystander and just watched all this with cold eyes.
From fear to numbness....
That night.
In the room, Cheng Huo sat cross-legged on the bed and kept reading the contents recorded in "Xuan Tian Qi Lian Jue".
It is different from those fairy novels I read before I traveled back to life.
The practice method described in "Xuan Tian Qi Lian Jue" can be subdivided into three realms: the 'God Worshiping Stage', the 'Embryonic Building Stage' and the 'Blood Pill Stage'.
The pages of the book given by the immortals of the Xuantian Sect only recorded the cultivation methods related to the 'God Worship Period'.
The so-called "worshiping gods", as its name suggests, refers to practicing by worshiping gods, and thereby obtaining extraordinary power.
This is fundamentally different from the practice method of "absorbing the spiritual power of heaven and earth for one's own use" in the cognition of survival.
Not only that.
The gods worshiped by immortal cultivators in this world are not the immortal gods in the living consciousness, but an existence called the 'Mother of Pain'.
If you want to gain power from the 'Mother of Pain', in addition to sincerely worshiping her, you also need to activate the 'Power of Pain' in yourself through penance.
The 'power of pain' is the power emitted by practitioners when they feel pain.
According to the method, at first monks can draw strength from the 'Mother of Pain' simply through fasting and fasting.
To get to a higher level, you need to practice 'closed mouth meditation' without speaking to others, or force yourself to work without sleep.
In the end, he even mentioned cutting off his hands and feet, or even more cruel methods of cultivation.
However, the pages in Cheng Huo's hand can only be practiced to the stage of worshiping gods, so the subsequent methods are only briefly mentioned without detailed descriptions.
When Cheng Huo first read "Xuan Tian Qi Lian Jue", he felt that the pages were full of methods for becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao.
But after a closer look, I can see from the cracks in the words that this is not a method of becoming an immortal and attaining enlightenment. This is clearly a cultivation method of ghosts and ghosts!
In normal practice, how can anyone teach someone to cut off their own hands and feet?
The two monks from Xuantian Sect are not immortals at all.
That is clearly an evil spirit!
"Boom, boom, boom!"
While thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.
"Chengsheng, are you there?"
The speaker was still Aunt Wang who lived next door: "I stewed another fish today and made a bowl for you. You can try it."
Chengsheng was shocked when he heard Aunt Wang's voice.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he decided not to respond yet.
Not long after, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent... It seemed that if the door was opened a second later, the door would be knocked open and cracked.
Cheng Sheng had no choice but to take the bolt and push the door open.
Just like last time.
Outside the house, Aunt Wang was holding a porcelain bowl in her hand. What was in the porcelain bowl was the blood-red meat ball that was still squirming.
This is what Aunt Wang calls 'fish soup'.
Smelling the faint fishy smell in the porcelain bowl, Chengshuo said calmly: "Thank you, Mother Wang. I will send the bowl back to you when you finish drinking."
Cheng Sheng planned to repeat the same trick and pour out the fish soup after Aunt Wang left.
However....
"No."
Behind Aunt Wang.
The mayor of Shenshu Village entered the living room by himself.
He gave Chengshuo a meaningful look and said coldly: "Drink it now, otherwise it will taste bad when it gets cold."
this....
Chengshuo was startled when he heard this, but the expression on his face remained unchanged and he said, "I'm not very hungry yet, otherwise, let's put the soup on the table first."
Seeing that Chengsheng refused to drink the fish soup, the village chief stopped pressing him and just turned his attention to Chengsheng's bed.
Seeing a dent on the bed, he frowned and said, "Chengsheng, you just meditated on the bed again, right?"
The village chief turned his attention to the 'Zhang Tian Bottle' placed in the corner by Cheng Huo.
He had a look of hatred on his face and said, "Did you treat that broken bottle as a treasure again?"
"I have told you so many times that that bottle was used to hold dog skin ointment... If you use that bottle to hold water, it will only end up ruining your stomach."
? ?
Upon hearing this, Chengshuo felt inexplicably horrified.
Is the 'Zhang Tian Bottle' a bottle containing dog skin plaster? ?
How can this be!
When the village chief said this, could it be that he wanted to covet my treasure?
Thinking of this, Cheng Shengdang was very energetic, and his spiritual power spread throughout his body to prevent the village chief from killing people and seizing the treasure at any time.
In contrast, the village chief on the side was still unaware and continued: "Shengshuo, why do you always imagine that you are from another world?"
"I have watched you grow up as a child. You are from this village. There is no mistake about this!"
Good guy!
You actually know the secret that I am a time traveler?
Seeing that the village chief revealed his biggest secret with just one word, Cheng Shuo stood stunned on the spot, and for a moment he even doubted the authenticity of it all.
Could it be said that I am really a native of Shenshu Village?
Are all those memories about the earth fake?
inside the house.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Chengshuo quickly solidified his original idea.
After all, he had lived on earth for twenty years before time travel, and he still vividly remembers everything that happened during those twenty years.
Those memories are so real, they can't just be his delusions...
Therefore, all this could only be the village chief lying.
He wants to seize his most precious treasure, the Sky Palm Bottle.
Or perhaps, he and the villagers of Shenshu Village have had their memories tampered with by the Xuantian Sect immortals.
The reason why the immortals of Xuantian Sect did this was because they wanted to use the villagers to cultivate the so-called 'Tao Fruit'.
Thinking of this, Chengshuo retorted: "Village Chief, don't you think there is something wrong with the exercises given by the two immortals of Xuantian Sect?"
"You're going crazy again, aren't you?"
Seeing Chenghuo slandering the immortal, the village chief said angrily: "You kid, even the immortal has begun to doubt you. Are you going to go to the house to unveil the tiles in a few days?"
Chengshuo said in a firm tone: "Village Chief, think about it carefully, how can there be a skill in this world that requires amputating hands and feet to practice?"
"What the immortal Xuantian Sect gave you is simply evil power, and it is meant to harm you!"
Chengshuo continued: "There is also the 'Qi Gathering Pill'. You might as well take a closer look to see if it is a pill or a bug!"
"what are you talking about?"
After hearing what Chengshuo said, the village chief couldn't help but smile bitterly... This caused his originally blurred facial features to twist together in an instant.
"Shengshuo, think about it, if those pills are really bugs, wouldn't the people in the village be able to tell?"
"Oh, you're the only one who's smart, you're the only one who figured it out, right?"
The village chief had a hint of helplessness on his face and said in a sincere tone: "Believe me Chengshuo... The reason why you think there is something wrong with the elixir is because you have a mental problem."
"Drink that 'fish soup'. Everything will be fine after you drink the soup."
By the way, fish soup....
Chengshuo glanced at the blood-red meat balls in the porcelain bowl and asked: "Village chief, don't you think there is a problem with 'fish soup'? Wang Ma stews fish every day, but the river outside our village has nothing but a little Crabs, there’s no trace of fish at all, so where does the fish that Wang Ma stews every day come from?”
"this...."
The question of survival seems to have really stumped the village chief.
The expression on his face gradually changed from helplessness to confusion, and finally turned to fear: "Yes...Sister Wang, where do all the fish you usually stew come from?"
