In the twelfth lunar month of winter, there was heavy snowfall, and the howling cold wind wandered back and forth, making a sharp crackle outside the house.
Wang Chu in the room slowly opened his eyes, stood up from a sitting position, and rubbed his slightly sleepy eyes.
Although he was only wearing thin white clothes, the stove in the house had already been extinguished.
But after leaving the bed, the young man who looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old did not seem to feel the cold.
He uncovered the quilt, touched his feet to the floor, stood up, yawned, and stretched.
Then, as usual, he glanced at his attributes:
[Age: 968 years old]
[Cultivation: Mahayana and Great Perfection]
[Spiritual power: 999999999+]
[Soul power: 999999999+]
【Shouyuan: 999999999+】
...
[Yesterday’s spiritual power +6, soul power +5, longevity +6]
Looking at the "9" in the panel and the message that the attributes have increased, Wang Chu's expression did not change at all, but a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes:
"Sure enough, there is still no change in cultivation."
Putting away the panel, Wang Chu whispered softly to himself.
Wang Chu is not a native of this world, but a time traveler.
Wang Chu, who traveled through time, had awakened the system called Eternal Immortality since he was a baby.
This system does not have many requirements and conditions.
As long as Wang Chu eats and drinks well and lives well every day, his spiritual power, cultivation, longevity and other attributes will continue to increase.
With this system, Wang Chu could be said to have lived peacefully and smoothly over the past few hundred years.
Just by being simple, we achieved an unprecedented achievement:
With a lifespan of more than 800 years, he has cultivated to the highest state that most cultivators dream of but cannot reach after a lifetime of hard work - Mahayana.
After the completion of the Mahayana period, Wang Chu originally thought that his cultivation and various attributes would be as easy as before, like eating and drinking, and he could easily break through and reach the next level.
However, he was wrong and only half correct.
Other attributes have indeed continued to grow, but Wang Chu's cultivation has stagnated.
Fortunately, after a hundred years of research, Wang Chu already knew the reason and found a solution.
After briefly washing up, Wang Chu opened the door and walked out of the house.
He stood in front of the threshold of the house, looking at the smoke rising from the chimneys of the ruined village not far away, and the ice cones condensed under the eaves, and gradually fell into a trance.
In the more than nine hundred years since he came to this world, Wang Chu has experienced too many people and things.
Now, only this ruined village is still with him.
"Brother!"
Not far away, a delicate voice suddenly came, bringing Wang Chu's wandering thoughts back.
He lowered his head and looked in the direction of the sound.
But he saw a little girl with double ponytails, a plump, red face, and big, clear eyes, jumping towards him.
Wang Chu smiled and moved forward to greet him.
In a moment, he had walked up to the little girl.
At this time, the little girl patted her chest, let out a breath of hot breath, and after breathing for a while, she said:
"Brother, a group of outsiders have come to the village."
Wang Chu was a little surprised:
"Outlanders? What are they here for?"
The location of Canyuan Village is relatively remote, and few outsiders visit this place.
The little girl said with her hands behind her back:
"It seems that he is here to look for someone."
"Looking for someone?"
In Wang Chu's eyes, a trace of imperceptible darkness suddenly flashed:
"Who are you looking for?"
The little girl replied with a flat mouth:
"I don't know, but they told the village chief that if they can cooperate with them and find this person, they will be rewarded with 100 million spiritual crystals and a land of thousands of miles."
"One hundred million spiritual crystals! Ten thousand miles of territory!"
Even Wang Chu, who was used to seeing spiritual crystals, couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock after hearing this number.
Spirit crystal is the most advanced currency on the mainland, and one is enough for an ordinary family to easily live a lifetime.
One hundred million spiritual crystals...
Such a figure is considered a considerable expense even for a top second or third grade power.
As for the ten thousand-mile fiefdom, there is no need to talk about it.
In today's world, the number of forces that dare to make such bold statements is estimated to be no more than two hands.
And how could such a force come to his ruined village to look for someone?
Could it be that......
"Xiaoyan, didn't you hear me? Are you sure it's 100 million spiritual crystals and a land of ten thousand miles?"
The girl's eyes rolled, and then she affirmed:
"That's what I said. Xiaoyan won't hear it wrong. Brother, isn't 100 million spiritual crystals a lot?"
Wang Chu explained with a wry smile:
"Ten of our villages probably won't be able to accommodate so many spiritual crystals."
The little girl was instantly shocked and her mouth opened into an "O" shape:
"Ah, why are there so many? Who is the person those strangers are looking for? This person seems to be very important to them."
Wang Chu reached out and touched the girl's head, narrowed his eyes and said:
"No, if this person is Xiaoyan, I will definitely sell Xiaoyan without hesitation."
When the little girl heard this, she puffed up her cheeks instantly, like a swollen puffer fish:
"I hate it, brother won't betray me!"
Wang Chu pinched Xiaoyan’s cheek:
"Haha, it depends on your performance. If you are still as naughty as before and secretly eat candies at night, then the eldest brother will definitely sell Xiaoyan for money."
Xiaoyan rolled her eyes:
"Huh! I don't believe it!"
As she said this, the little girl's eyes began to mist.
Wang Chu accepted it as soon as he could. He didn't want to see the little girl's tears really fall, so he smiled and said:
"Haha, of course I lied to you. My little face is worth much more than 100 million spiritual crystals."
Hearing this, the little girl stopped the little pearl that was about to fall, pursed her lips, and said slightly arrogantly:
"Hmph, I knew that big brother was lying to Xiaoyan."
Seeing that the girl was happy again, Wang Chu looked serious and asked instead;
"Are those people still in the village?"
Xiaoyan nodded:
"Yeah! When I left, they were in the village, talking to the village chief."
Wang Chu touched his chin and nodded slightly:
"Come on, let's go take a look."
The girl held Wang Chu's hand:
"Okay! Brother, let me tell you, there is a big sister among these people, she is very beautiful."
...
"It is impossible for such a ruined village to have any news about the eldest prince, and the village chief also said that there are no long-lived young people in the village. Isn't it a waste of time to still negotiate with these villagers here? ?”
At this moment, in a room in the ruined village, a man wearing a brown brocade robe complained to the beautiful woman with a cold appearance and a white coat and skirt sitting next to her.
This man's name is Xu Ji, and he is an admiral of Da Ruiling City today, and the woman sitting next to him is his boss, the governor of Ling City, Qiu Yeqing.
Darui is the most powerful dynasty on the mainland today. As the capital of Lingcheng, his status is said to be extremely precious. Generally speaking, any eighth- or ninth-grade sect leader would have to come forward to bow to these two people.
It seems that things like searching for people should never fall on these two people.
What's more, we are still looking for someone in such a remote village.
However, the person Xu Ji and Qiu Yeqing were looking for was unusual.
This person is the eldest prince of the current Darui Dynasty.
He wandered among the people when he was a baby. The emperor spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and time to find him. However, the whereabouts of the eldest prince are still unknown.
Qiu Yeqing glanced at the window and the door to confirm that no one was eavesdropping, and then responded:
"It said above that no inhabited place should be spared. All places must be inspected with orbs, so don't complain."
Xu Ji shook his head and said no more. He just tapped the wooden table impatiently with his index finger.
"Today's Holy Master is extremely powerful, and there are countless capable people and strangers around him. Normally, if you want to find someone, there should be a simpler way. If nothing else, just find a powerful person in the God Transformation stage and let him use his divine power. I want to sweep all the major territories, and I believe it won’t take long to determine the location of the eldest prince... Or should I say, this eldest prince has actually been..."
The woman's eyes moved slightly downward and interrupted:
"Be careful!"
Xu Ji wisely did not say anything further, but he still had a look of impatience and irritability.
After a moment of silence, Qiu Yeqing said:
"Do you think these methods have not been used by the above? As a member of the royal family, the eldest prince has great luck to protect himself. Coupled with some other reasons, ordinary methods cannot find him at all. Only the method we are using now, There is only a slight possibility to catch him in this mortal world."
After listening to Qiu Yeqing's explanation, Xu Ji's irritability calmed down a little. He took a deep breath and changed the subject:
"The village chief said he was going to talk to the villagers, but why did it take so long? He was so slow."
"By the way, do you have any weird feelings?"
Qiu Yeqing frowned, but his focus was different from Xu Ji's.
Xu Ji disagreed:
"What's so weird? What else can be weird about this shabby village?"
Qiu Yeqing looked thoughtful:
"I can't tell you exactly, but I always feel something is wrong. The villagers in this village seem to be very different from those we have met before."
Xu Ji smiled disdainfully:
"Sister Qiu, are you overthinking it? I have secretly checked the cultivation of the people in the village with my spiritual mind. They are all just ordinary people without any spiritual power. What can be strange about these people?"
Qiu Yeqing shook his head:
"Maybe I'm overthinking it."
