Tianshui City.
At a stall.
The stall owner is a monk in his fifties. There is nothing placed on his stall, but a flag is erected. The flag simply says - selling various jade slips.
That's how doing business is, simple and clear.
Lu Ning walked to the stall and asked, "What kind of jade slips do you sell here?"
The stall owner said while handing out a piece of paper: "As long as you want, I have it here."
Lu Ning took the paper and looked at it. There was a brief introduction of the jade slip written on it.
For example: Tianshui City Sect.
This is to introduce the basic situation of all the sects in Tianshui City, the Jindan realm and the monks above the Jindan level.
Among them are the cultivator’s spiritual roots, his cultivation level, and the magical tools he uses.
Each of the nine human cities has a single jade slip.
As for the common knowledge about the Qianyuan world that Lu Ning wanted to buy, it was called the All-Inclusive Jade Slip.
The stall owner introduced: "This all-encompassing jade slip has recorded almost everything we know about the Qianyuan world."
"How much."
"A top-grade spiritual stone."
A high-grade spiritual stone is a bit expensive.
An ordinary disciple would simply not be able to afford this.
Lu Ning looked and asked, and after a while, he bought thirteen jade slips.
Among them, the jade slip introducing the Nine Cities of the Human Race was one that I naturally wanted to buy.
This introduces the spiritual roots of everyone in the city. If allowed, he would naturally want to copy better spiritual roots in the future.
In addition to the Nine Cities of the Human Race, there are also the Three Holy Lands of the Human Race.
The Holy Land is different from the Nine Cities. It is the true Holy Land for cultivation.
Nine Cities was originally built to protect the safety of mortals.
As for the three holy places, they have always been independent of mortals, ignoring human affairs and focusing on cultivation.
It is the dream place of all ascetics.
The three holy places are named: Qianyuan, Zifu, and Xugong.
Naturally, Lu Ning would not let go of the information about the three holy places.
Thirteen jade slips cost Lu Ning a total of thirteen high-grade spiritual stones.
Lu Ning sighed: "The spirit stone is really useless."
After buying the jade slips, Lu Ning returned to Zixia Sect and began to browse the information inside with his spiritual consciousness.
He quickly felt the value of thirteen high-grade spiritual stone flowers.
The jade slips not only have narration introductions, but also accompanying images, just like watching a movie.
The amount of information in the thirteen jade slips was so great that even with Lu Ning's brain expansion and spiritual breakthrough, it took him several days to read it all.
After reading all the jade slips, Lu Ning once again felt insignificant.
In the jade slips, he saw powerful Nascent Soul Lords, great powers of distraction, and Mahayana monks.
In that realm, you can destroy the heaven and the earth with just a raise of your hand, which is extremely terrifying.
The desire to go out for a vacation, and the desire to go out, slowly calmed down again.
The more you know, the smaller you feel.
"Practice!"
There is nothing to say, the only way to become stronger is to continue practicing.
There is a spirit gathering array in Zixia Sect, and the spiritual energy here is more abundant than the outside world.
Lu Ning almost always stays here now, and rarely even goes to Xiaoxi Village.
"That's not right. Cultivation is not the meaning of life."
Lu Ning suddenly woke up again.
After cultivating to the golden elixir, there is the Nascent Soul. After breaking through the Nascent Soul, there is the Out-of-Body. Below the Out-of-Body, there are distraction, integration, transcending tribulations, and Mahayana.
Even after the Mahayana, you may ascend to the immortal world.
Then there should be higher-level existences above the fairy world.
One layer after another, never ending.
Lu Ning thought of Xiaoxi Village, which he hadn't been to for a long time, where his apprentice Xiao Yingying was, and Xie Weilong, who might still be waiting for him to teach him the magic.
Yan Hongmei from Blue Star may have returned, and Catherine from the Magic World is still waiting for him to regain the human territory together.
Chen Ruolan and Lin Meiqi on Earth are also waiting for him to return.
"Compared with endless cultivation, you should enjoy everything in the present moment, otherwise there is no point in practicing all the time."
Thinking about it, before coming to the Qianyuan Realm, Lu Ning still thought about lying flat on the earth for a thousand years.
What on earth made him change his mind.
It's the environment.
On the ground and on Blue Star, he was already invincible. Now that he has broken through the golden elixir realm and is covered by his divine consciousness, Lu Ning can detect even nuclear weapons in advance and no longer pose a threat to him.
But in the Qianyuan world, facing so many powerful people, Lu Ning once again felt threatened, so he wanted to keep breaking through to ensure his own safety.
"The Gate of Time and Space is here, and the lobster's ability to live forever has been copied, so there is no need to be so anxious."
And in fact, the body itself absorbs energy from the outside world all the time, but not as quickly as during cultivation.
After Lu Ning analyzed it in his mind, he calmed down again.
No more worry and urgency.
He is different from people in this world. Maybe they want to pursue eternal life.
They worry that if they don't break through the realm, the end is approaching.
The more powerful the existence, the more afraid of death, Lu Ning can understand.
Now that he has it all, he also doesn't want to die and wants to enjoy it forever.
But death is no longer Lu Ning's worry. He is already standing at the end of immortality.
He doesn't have to race against time and can develop slowly.
So he stopped practicing and went directly to Xiaoxi Village.
"Master, master~"
When Xiao Yingying saw Lu Ning, she immediately jumped on him.
She liked the smell on Lu Ning very much, and she always felt that it smelled very good.
Lu Ning had a smile on his face and walked around the village holding Xiao Yingying.
He likes this simple feeling.
"Immortal Master."
Xie Weilong picked a bundle of firewood from a distance and placed it at the door of the room. When he saw Lu Ning, he quickly came over to salute.
"Um."
Lu Ning nodded casually.
He asked: "Do you have any resentment for letting you stay in Xiaoxi Village?"
Xie Weilong followed him wholeheartedly, but he didn't care about the other person. He wanted to know what the other person was thinking.
Xie Weilong said sincerely: "The Immortal Master saved my life and was very kind to me. How can I have any resentment? It's just that I often despise myself for being useless and cannot serve you, the Immortal Master."
Lu Ning patted him on the shoulder and praised, "Well, not bad, you have a very good character."
Lu Ning decided in his heart that he could train Xie Weilong well in the future.
If possible, he will try to give the other party spiritual roots.
Now he also has two opportunities to choose to grant abilities.
He planned to wait for the top-quality wood spirit roots to evolve, and then choose to give the wood spirit roots this ability.
With so many wives and girlfriends at home, if Lu Ning was given the opportunity, he would naturally arrange them first.
Let everyone cultivate immortality together.
He doesn't want the beauties around him to leave him one by one in the future.
After Lu Ning stayed in Xiaoxi Village for half a day, he left the Qianyuan World and came to the Magic World.
In the evening, afterwards.
Catherine snuggled into Lu Ning's arms and said, "The orcs began to voluntarily withdraw from the big city. They don't even want the city anymore."
The death of the orc demigod at the hands of the human demigod was a bolt from the blue for the orc tribe.
They no longer have the courage to fight against the humans.
Whenever Catherine approaches with her team, they will retreat first.
"Very well, take your time."
The recapture of the city went smoothly, and Lu Ning praised him a few more times.
The next day, he came to Blue Star.
"A retro-style knighthood system was actually implemented."
Lu Ning looked at the newspaper and was surprised.
This was something he didn't expect.
And it seems to be influenced by foreign countries. The titles are not based on the traditional titles of the country, but based on foreign titles.
They are mainly divided into five levels: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron.
The fifth-class title represents the five statuses in the country, and it will be difficult for people to transcend the ranks.
"And the landowners."
Landowners did not have their land confiscated.
As he continued to read, Lu Ning soon discovered this difference.
This was also something he didn't expect.
It's a pity that this world is not the earth after all. Now that the country is unified, it has completely disrupted the somewhat similar historical process.
Thinking of such a big change, Lu Ning couldn't help but think: "Maybe there is a reason for my change."
When the Northern Expeditionary Army encountered difficulties several times, he always asked Mir and others to rescue them.
Later, two mechas and other advanced weapons were given to Yan Hongmei and Yan Wanbao.
If he said that he had not changed the course of the world, even he would not believe it.
Lu Ning murmured: "Jin Changshui, Jin Changshui, you have to thank me."
A few days later.
Yan Hongmei and others came back and also brought good news.
"Husband, you have been given the title of Marquis!"
Jin Changshui did not disappoint Lu Ning and directly gave him the honorary title of Marquis.
Equivalent to the mayor.
Although there was no substantial reward, just this title turned Lu Ning from a landlord to an official, and his identity changed drastically.
Like Lu Ning, there is Yan Wanbao, who also holds the title of Marquis.
Yan Hongmei holds the title of earl, which is one level lower than them.
Lu Ning smiled and said, "It's quite sensible."
Although he is not a duke, he is still satisfied.
He guessed that this was naturally related to interests.
He knew that he still needed to get more useful technology from Lu Ning, and wanted to use this method to build a good relationship with Lu Ning and completely tie him down.
After all, in terms of money, Lu Ning is richer than them.
I can only give you an identity.
That night, Lu Ning and Yan Hongmei were in perfect harmony.
He did not leave Blue Star immediately, because in a few days, Jin Changshui would give a formal speech at Tianwei Gate just like his speech when the new country of Earth was established.
There will also be a military parade at that time.
Lu Ning becomes a Marquis and will also appear when the time comes.
Although he could refuse, he wanted to witness such a meaningful festival with his own eyes.
----------------
When Lu Ning was in Blue Star, Qianyuan Realm.
A disciple of Lie Sun Sect came to Zixia Sect and informed that the leader of Lie Sun Sect invited Lu Ning.
Ling Guangyuan, who was responsible for serving Lu Ning, ran out to reply.
"Elder Lu has gone out a few days ago and is not in the sect for the time being."
"Do you know when Elder Lu will come back?"
"I don't know."
"When Elder Lu comes back, please tell me that Elder Lu should come to our Lie Sun Sect immediately and say that my sect leader is waiting."
"OK."
the other side.
In the Jade Girl Sect.
Zhong Yuanyuan was holding an equally beautiful woman and whispering about her family.
This woman is Zhong Yuanyuan's biological sister, and she is now at the early stage of Jin Dan.
"Sister, although Elder Lu is average in appearance, his strength is still above that of my sister. My sister's judgment of people is not wrong. He will definitely be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future, and he can be regarded as your perfect match."
"Sister, I want to see it with my own eyes before talking about it."
"That's fine. After all, this is your life-long event. If you don't want to, sister won't force it. I will invite Elder Lu out some other day so that you can take a good look at it."
"Um."
--------------------------
--------------------------
After leaving Blue Star, Lu Ning came to Earth Star.
He hasn't been to Dixing for a long time because he felt that Dixing didn't have what he needed for the time being.
After coming here this time, he immediately discovered that there had been huge changes in the Earth Star.
The trees grew larger and lusher.
Some low basins turned into mountains.
The plates move and the mountains and rivers change.
It was almost unrecognizable to Lu Ning.
The biggest change is that animals have also mutated.
In the past, only human mutants appeared on the earth and stars, but now even animals have gradually begun to mutate.
Giant ants, dragonflies.
A fire-breathing lizard.
Huge cats and dogs.
Animals have changed like this, not to mention humans. A large number of mutants are gradually emerging among humans.
Earth Star has ushered in a new wave of evolution.
But because of past mistakes, humans will hide as soon as they become mutants.
Haven't you seen that the two former super mutants have both lost their heads?
They are just newcomers who have just acquired mutant abilities, and they dare not compete with the country.
Lu Ning browsed the latest information on the Internet.
Some countries have called for - "Human beings should coexist with mutants."
But some countries objected - "Don't you look at what those two super mutants did to the world."
That's right.
Thinking of the heinous crimes committed by Sean Nicola and Xin Guangyi, most people who called for peace collectively lost their voices.
They cannot accept mutants on behalf of the dead.
No one can guarantee that mutants can truly live in harmony with humans.
When mutants are weak, they might be able to make friends with humans.
But in the final analysis, mutants are already two different species from humans.
When mutants become stronger, they will want to rule humans.
"Mutants are a group of lunatics. Only by killing them can we avoid future troubles forever."
This is the voice of the families of those who died at the hands of Xin Guangyi.
These people will never forgive mutants.
They will not get along well with them. Whenever possible, they will choose to kill the mutant, even if the mutant is someone close to them.
The emergence of a large number of mutated creatures and mutants has made all countries on Earth a busy mess.
Troops and their exchanges are everywhere on the Internet.
"Can you imagine it? My teammate who was killing mutant creatures with me yesterday suddenly turned into a mutant today. I killed him myself."
This is the description of a soldier.
In the video, he looked pained.
He didn't want to kill his teammates, but his teammates turned into mutants, so what could he do?
There were many such things, causing many soldiers to collapse directly.
This will cause difficulties in the subsequent eradication of mutants.
The country's executive army has even been severely affected.
"I personally killed all my family members, what's the point of living for me!"
This is a white man with a gun. He is kneeling among several corpses, feeling extremely painful.
Except for him, his whole family suddenly turned into mutants.
Thinking of the madness and terror of mutants and responding to the call of the country, he pretended to be sincere, but took advantage of his family's unpreparedness and shot them all.
But after killing all his family members, he fell into deep self-blame and doubt.
Without his family, he suddenly felt that life was meaningless.
He even killed his beloved daughter.
"boom!"
So, in the video, the man shot himself.
This scene happens all over the world.
Civilians, soldiers, officials, and even the president may mutate at any time.
So it was chaos, and the world was completely in chaos.
Things are getting more and more out of control.
Small countries have fallen apart.
Only a few large countries are surviving, but they still face the possibility of collapse at any time.
In order to survive, war comes without warning.
"I don't want to die, so please die first."
In the face of this huge pressure, either you die or I live.
No one wants to lose their life.
Then the fifth world war broke out!
This time, various countries are at war, and even their own country will find itself in a civil war.
Missiles are falling somewhere in the city every day.
Fortunately, nuclear weapons around the world have been destroyed, so this is not like the previous times.
But the Earth Star was still riddled with holes.
What Lu Ning sees now is such a situation.
One word - miserable.
Many people on the Internet contacted the space merchant, Lu Ning, and tried to ask him to come out to eliminate the mutants.
But all this news came to nothing.
Seeing these messages, Lu Ning sighed inwardly: "There's nothing I can do."
