I have been a saint in the world for three thousand years

Yan Xiu waved his hand gently, and the bowl of steaming noodles and crystal clear rice grains floated up lightly and slowly hung in front of Shen Zhi.

He had his hands behind his back, and his tone revealed a hint of indifference and alienation.

"I'll give you two choices."

"First, if you eat this bowl of plain noodles, I can transform you into a rich young master, and you will live a life of luxury from now on. All your memories of last night will disappear."

"The second is to swallow this grain of rice and embark on a path of martial arts pursuit from which there is no turning back."

"You are the only one walking this path alone. No one will help you, and there is no turning back."

As he said this, Yan Xiu turned around and walked out of the house.

"I'll give you enough time to think about it. Give me an answer after an hour."

Yan Xiu's voice was still echoing in the room, but his figure gradually became blurred in the sunlight and finally disappeared outside the door.

The whole room fell into silence in an instant.

Shen Zhi sat alone on the bed, facing the bowl of plain noodles and crystal clear rice grains.

He immediately turned his gaze to the latter without hesitation.

And the grain of rice seemed to be able to hear Shen Zhi's inner desire, and floated towards him slowly without haste.

Just when Shen Zhi was about to touch it, it suddenly stopped.

And Shen Zhi's gaze drifted to the bowl of vegetarian noodles without him noticing.

He was born into a poor family, and his ancestors were all tenants who worked hard in the fields.

After paying various taxes and levies every year, there was not much left in the family.

When Shen Zhi was young, not having enough food to eat and not having warm clothes to wear was almost the norm for most villagers in Anxi Village.

So Shen Zhi's wish at that time was as simple as everyone else's.

That means becoming a big landlord with thousands of acres of fertile land and a fortune.

He heard that rich people had two sugar jars by their bedsides, one containing brown sugar and the other containing honey.

Eat two white flour buns before going to bed at night, one dipped in white sugar and the other dipped in honey.

Even if you turn over in the middle of the night, you can still scoop out a spoonful to eat.

Shen Zhi felt happy just thinking about such days.

And now the life that I have always longed for is within reach.

Shen Zhi had no doubt at all about Yan Xiu's words.

As long as he chooses that bowl of vegetarian noodles, he can transform himself into a truly rich man and forget all his worries.

And the humiliation suffered yesterday will disappear and no longer exist.

The seeds planted in his youth quickly took root and sprouted at this moment, gradually occupying his mind.

Just when Shen Zhi was about to make up his mind, the mocking and insulting faces and voices of the Yong'an City dignitaries rang out again.

"Bitch!"

"You are worse than pigs and dogs!"

"No matter how rich you are in this world, if you don't have the power to protect you, you will be in our pockets sooner or later!"

The endless stream of harsh mocking voices made Shen Zhi's eyes red, and he suddenly grabbed the crystal clear grain of rice.

After swallowing the rice grains, Shen Zhi immediately closed his eyes tightly.

But after a long time, the imagined severe pain did not come.

“Is this really just a grain of rice?”

He thought that after swallowing the grain of rice, he would feel pain deep in his bones.

In vernacular novels, these are things that the protagonist must experience, but they never happen to him or her.

This moment made Shen Zhi a little overwhelmed.

While Shen Zhi was in a state of confusion, his body was undergoing an earth-shaking change.

After Shen Zhi swallowed the grain of rice, it instantly turned into a pure spiritual power.

Spiritual power flowed into his dantian like a trickle, and then quickly spread out.

Almost at the same time, a warm current burst out from Shen Zhi's dantian.

It is like a winding river, flowing through the limbs and bones to every corner of the body.

This warm current washed over Shen Zhi's acupuncture points and meridians over and over again, as if it was carefully carving an unpolished piece of jade.

And this belated pain made Shen Zhi's face turn pale in an instant.

He felt as if his body was being pierced mercilessly by thousands of sharp steel needles.

The piercing pain swept over him like a tide, making him unable to bear it and let out a low roar of pain.

After a moment, Shen Zhi's skin seemed to be splashed with boiling water, turning red as clouds and extremely hot.

His body temperature rose rapidly, as if he was in a hot furnace, and wisps of white mist rose around him.

Another wave of severe pain like thousands of arrows piercing his heart came, making Shen Zhi unable to bear it any longer.

His eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness, completely passing out.

It was unknown how long it had been before he woke up from his coma.

The first person that caught my eye was Yan Xiu sitting at the table.

Then he looked down and found that the gauze that was originally wrapped around his body had disappeared.

Shen Zhi got up from the bed and stretched his limbs.

He was surprised to find that his originally thin body had now become muscular and full of strength.

The skin is delicate and smooth, like carefully polished jade, exuding a faint luster.

The five senses have also been greatly enhanced, as if reborn.

He could clearly see the towering restaurant flag outside the window.

The bright colors and intricate patterns are so vivid that they seem to be right before your eyes.

The sense of hearing also becomes extremely acute.

Even the distant street noises can be heard clearly, as if the sounds of the whole world have become clearer and more vivid.

This new perceptual experience made Shen Zhi feel both surprised and excited, as if he had reacquainted himself with the world.

Then he subconsciously activated the mental skills he learned from Ba Yue Martial Arts School, and his eyes suddenly widened.

“Is this true Qi?!”

At the moment when the mental method was running, Shen Zhi could clearly feel a breath flowing in his body.

This aura is hard to describe, but it is extremely powerful, as if it has endless power.

He threw a light punch.

Suddenly, the true energy in his body burst out with his fist, smashing the washbasin rack not far in front of him into countless flying wood chips.

Yan Xiu frowned immediately upon seeing this.

"If you dare to smash one more, you will lose your salary this month."

Shen Zhi was immersed in surprise at the moment and didn't pay any attention to what Yan Xiu said.

He stared at his hands blankly, muttering something to himself.

"Do you feel that you have the strength to take revenge now?"

Yan Xiu suddenly blurted out something that immediately gave Shen Zhi a startle.

Feeling the power stirring in his body just now, Shen Zhi really wanted to seek revenge immediately.

But he didn't know that the power he currently possessed was at best just that of a slightly strong dog in front of those people.

Besides, Shen Zhi has only reached the level of a warrior now and lacks the skills to fight against the enemy.

Even if one's realm is superior to that of the opponent, he can only swing his fists randomly without any rules.

"Brother Yan, what should I do next?"

Shen Zhi stared at Yan Xiu, his eyes flickering with determination.
