These players are more cunning than cunning

Chapter 705: Ancient Events

The God of Cookery was frightened, but he was knowledgeable after all.

He walked out fearlessly, took out his magic weapon, and shouted, "Li Rouhua, what are you doing?! I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being! Why don't you surrender quickly?"

The woman was startled and quickly turned around and shouted, "It's the gentleman in Jieyou Tower. Please spare my life. I'm not some evil demon."

"So what are you doing? Smashing the kid's brains out and tattooing them on your body?"

The God of Food asked loudly, "I'm going to report to the police and have you arrested, you evil cultivator! You're going to be beheaded soon. The head constable who has reached the great perfection of the Five Body Realm will definitely come to arrest you personally, and you're dead! I'm only at the Second Body Realm and may not be able to defeat you, but if you attack me, I will fight you to the death!"

The fact that a powerful person who had reached the great perfection of the Five Body Realm wanted to capture him was obviously very shocking to the woman.

After all, for these ordinary people, the Five Body Realm is already a very powerful master.

Because now is the era of innate spiritual roots, the number of cultivators is extremely small, while in the era of acquired spiritual roots there are crowds of cultivators.

She was a little afraid of the captain of the Five Body Realm Perfection. There was murderous intent in his eyes, as if he was going to attack the God of Food and kill him to silence him.

The God of Cookery was so frightened that he quickly stepped back: "Don't, don't come over here."

But after hesitating for a while, she seemed to collapse completely, and did not attack the God of Cookery, and suddenly cried:
"I'm really not a bad person. I sewed the baby in my belly as a magic spell. I heard that this can help you give birth to a baby."

"What kind of magic?" The God of Cookery asked, "Why haven't I heard of it before? Have you been deceived by some evil cult? Tell me about it and I'll give you some advice."

This woman didn't attack him, and she turned out to be a soft-hearted person. She looked timid and easy to bully.

The woman hesitated, and seemed to mouth her story.

She said she was from Yunping Village. The master who had been checking her spiritual roots since she was a child came and said that she had low-grade spiritual roots, which were generally not accepted. She could go to those small sects to have a look.

But they won’t be so kind as to send you there, you have to go by yourself.

But the journey was terribly long.

There was a child with low-grade spiritual roots in the same village, named Xu You. The two of them got together and, with the dream of becoming successful, they set out in a horse-drawn carriage, carrying the dry food provided by the village, to look for immortals.

All mortals have a dream of flying.

They groped their way along, escaped from wild beasts several times, supported each other, and finally arrived at the city under the Immortal Gate, ready to take the test.

However, they were unfamiliar with the city and had been cheated of their money several times before they rented a house. The landlord was not a good person and often coveted her beauty.

After enduring this for half a month, I took the test and found out that this sect had stopped accepting disciples with low-grade spiritual roots ten years ago. People with low-grade spiritual roots could only practice as independent practitioners in the cities under the sect.

"The information provided by the old man who tests spiritual roots is far behind the times." Li Rouhua said with a wry smile.

"No, that old man might have done it on purpose."

The God of Food analyzed, "He might be collecting money to trick batches of low-grade spiritual root children over. Not only do they not have to receive benefits as disciples of the sect, but they can also work as independent cultivators at the foot of the mountain outside, provide nutrients for the sect, and increase the number of independent cultivators working at the foot of the mountain."

"This" Li Rouhua began to doubt her life.

The God of Cookery said, "Are there some storybooks in every village that tell about the beauty of cultivating immortals and the joy of life?"

"Yes," Li Rouhua nodded.

The God of Cookery said: "The storybooks were probably left behind by their various sects to make the children in the villages full of longing, and then trick you into going there. Once you get there, you have no say over it anymore."

"How come you are so skilled?" Li Rouhua asked in surprise.

"It's just that I'm used to it." The God of Cookery said calmly.

At that time, Li Rouhua and the other person did not become outer disciples. They looked for work everywhere, but were frequently frustrated. They even resold pills and talismans.

The dream of becoming an immortal in the storybooks is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

The immortal cultivators also form a small society.

When they first entered the city, the two of them stayed up all night. Xu You spent three days asking around and scouting for places to try out new talismans. He decided to learn how to make talismans. In order to learn this craft, he went to shops early in the morning to sell paper talismans for free and promoted them on the streets.

Because the shop owner said: As long as he sells 100 tickets, he will take him as an apprentice.

In fact, it was only after I started selling talismans that I discovered that the shop owner had said this to many people.

Several nearby streets are full of people selling paper talismans. There are more than a hundred salesmen in Dingtou Street and Dacheng Lane. Whenever a casual cultivator passes by or returns to the city, they pounce on him like hungry wolves seeing a sheep.

The two of them were introverted and timid at the time. In order to survive, they could only bite the bullet and stand in front of every passerby, shouting, "Brother, do you want a fireball talisman?" But Xu You was a smart man and quickly learned marketing techniques. Gradually, the number of customer orders increased. As if with divine help, one afternoon, they actually sold 17 pieces. The two of them went to the restaurant that day and ordered three side dishes.

The two of them drank together for the first time, and Xu You said: We will definitely become powerful immortals, believe me.

The days gradually got better and life was full of hope. Later, I finally sold 100 tickets and went to find the shop owner with full confidence, only to find out that he was actually a liar.

If they are recruited as apprentices, they will not be taught all the skills and will become cheap labor in his shop.

Just jumping from one pit into another.

Just like that, after hitting a wall one after another, the two of them gradually adapted.

Because Xu You is a true genius except for his spiritual roots.

In the era of acquired spiritual roots, they were all at the level of Jian Xin!

Kindness, integrity, bravery, pioneering spirit, and extraordinary talent are all qualities that can be applied to Xu You, but there is only one flaw: low-grade spiritual roots.

And this flaw is the most fatal.

No one would accept someone with inferior spiritual roots, so Xu You spent several years figuring out how to make talismans on his own and destroyed the business of the original black-hearted boss.

Finally, when they were in their thirties, the two of them barely entered the Three-Body Realm. They had a house for two people and their life was pretty good. Li Rouhua also became pregnant.

According to the laws of cultivating immortals, if both parents have spiritual roots, the next generation will basically have spiritual roots.

Xu You also became ambitious, and for the sake of his children, he decided to give it a try and hunt the monster.

This is an opportunity because there is a tide of beasts attacking the nearby Daping Mountains.

He said: "We are tired of the hard times, and our children cannot suffer like this anymore. All the noble families and big sects in this world started out like us. We accumulate foundation step by step to give our children a better future."

"I found out that in this world, there is not a single child with a middle-grade spiritual root who was born from a poor family."

"Even if you have the talent of a natural spiritual root, if your mother is malnourished during pregnancy, your spiritual roots will drop to the level of a mid-grade spiritual root or even a low-grade spiritual root."

"You're pregnant, I need to give you enough supplements."

In the era of innate spiritual roots, the essence of the spiritual roots is the three pseudo-human flowers, which are transmitted through the blood of parents.

However, spiritual roots obey the law of conservation of energy, and the cultivation of high-level spiritual roots requires the absorption of huge amounts of energy.

If the mother does not have enough energy, she will not be able to provide enough energy to the baby and will be sucked to death!

So, for the sake of his children, Xu You decided to go hunting monsters to make money.

No demon hunter has a good ending.

Few even survive three years.

Li Rouhua tried to stop him several times, wanting to say that they didn't want the child and that they should live a good life together.

But Xu You said: We have often encountered setbacks before, but we have survived them all. Now we are working hard and living a good life, aren’t we? I want to let you and your daughter live a good life.

Xu You was confident in hunting monsters. He was very successful at the beginning and even developed a special talisman - the printed talisman, which could tattoo the monster's brain on the body to create temporary magical powers.

Relying on this technology, Xu You shined in the beast tide and made a lot of money.

But if you stand by the river often, your shoes will get wet. How can you not get your shoes wet?

Every time I go out to hunt monsters, it is a gamble.

If you win, you’ll make one or two tenths of the profit.

If you lose, you lose nine out of ten times.

In the eighth month of hunting monsters, when the baby was about to be born, Li Rouhua, who was planting spiritual plants in the yard to supplement the family income, received a piece of news:
Xu You died after all.

Although he was confident that nothing would happen while hunting monsters in the periphery, he was blown away by the aftermath of the battle between two monks in the fourth organ realm and fell in a pool of blood.

Li Rouhua ran over with her big belly, hugged the body and cried, "Why did you leave? You clearly said you would give us a future."
