Very reasonable cultivation

"What the hell!" Tian Zhen woke up instantly, jumped up with a start, and quickly looked around to observe the situation.

It was still dark, and the first thing that caught my eye was the bright orange-red flames and the radiant warmth, followed by Da Zhuang, who had several bumps on his forehead and was sitting cross-legged beside the fire, and a strange young man wearing light gray clothes with pale blue embellishments.

Because his reaction was too intense and he stood up too much, the delayed pain in the back of his head made his scalp numb. He widened his eyes in pain, and when he touched it with his right hand, he found a big bump. The brief touch caused him to squint his eyes in pain.

"Da Zhuang, what happened? Where is that ghost thing?" Despite the pain in the back of his head, Tian Zhen quickly expressed his doubts.

"You two idiots are really brave. Who taught you to do this? Where are your parents?" Before Dazhuang could reply, the young man interrupted and asked back. He looked as if the parents were his elders.

"Hey, no, who are you?" Tian Zhen was very sure that this person was not from Tianjia Village. You could tell by looking at his clothes. People in their village all wore coarse linen clothes, and his outfit was very out of place. You could tell at a glance that he was from outside the village. Besides, it was still dark, and it was hard to say whether he was a human at night. Thinking of this, goose bumps spread all over his body, and Tian Zhen desperately winked at Dazhuang.

The general meaning is: Blink when you are threatened!

However, Da Zhuang couldn't understand what Tian Zhen meant by that look. He just said in an excited tone, "Shi Tou, this is my new master. He's an immortal. He can fly and glow. He helped me just now. Otherwise, that thing would have gotten away. But the master just waved his hand, and a ball of light flew out. With a snap, he knocked that thing to pieces. He's really powerful."

Tian Zhen listened to these illuminative words with a look of suspicion on his face. Master? Immortal? Look at the bump on Da Zhuang's head. Is there something wrong with his brain?

Even if it was Da Zhuang's words, he only dared to believe half of it, so Tian Zhen asked half-doubtfully: "Is it true or not? I fainted, do you have any proof? I want to see it."

Seeing that the child was still a little wary, the young man laughed and said, "You are quite clever, kid. Okay! I'll show you how clever you are."

He just stretched out his palm and pointed it towards the fire. A flaming bird, no bigger than his palm and of unknown species, flew out from the fire of high-temperature plasma and then circled around the young man. When he stretched out his palm again, the bird emitting orange-red light flapped its wings and hovered above his palm, displayed unreservedly in front of Tian Zhen and the others.

"Ward*!" Tian Zhen couldn't help but blurt out due to the shattered worldview.

Picking up the broken pieces of the Three Views that had been glued together, he pondered the underlying principle.

Brain: I'm already moving at full speed.

The light in Tian Zhen's eyes grew brighter and brighter. His inner desire for something unknown was like a volcano erupting. He was itching to learn, more than a cat. His brain was running on the remaining CPU, thinking three words. He said it without hesitation: "I want to learn!"

Tian Zhen's story was not groundless or fabricated. He didn't know what other time travelers thought. Anyway, he was extremely curious about how he traveled through time and how he experienced all the unknowns in the womb. He simply couldn't act indifferent and say, "Oh, I traveled through time, so let it be."

The young man saw a hint of purity in the light reflected from Tian Zhen's eyes, as if he saw his former self. He laughed and said, "You can learn if you want, but you have to tell me how you understand evil spirits."

"Evil spirits?" Tian Zhen thought for a moment and said cautiously, "It's related to the emotions people emit. They spread wherever people move around, and the sun causes them to merge. Over time, evil spirits emerge."

"Hahaha, good, that's right. Evil spirits are born in places where people gather and yin gathers, mostly in nearby mountains. You have excellent observation skills and understanding. So, I will take you as my disciple, what do you think?" The young man smiled, paused, and continued, "I am Wang Xu, the Golden Core Elder of the Qiling Sect. I am currently stationed on Yulin Mountain east of Wangjia Town. Let me ask you, do you want to become my disciple?"

Wow! Could this world actually have the Golden Elixir cultivation realm described in previous life novels? Was it the quantum mechanics of two different worlds, or something else? He couldn't comprehend it now, even with the Malphite Network.

As for the place name, he had never heard of it before. He was not worried about the evil cultivators like those in the novels he had read before, otherwise they would just abduct them and he would have no way to argue. This way, it would not delay his becoming their disciple.

As for seeking to learn from a master, he naturally had no psychological barriers in his heart, and he simply bowed his head and said, "Master, please accept me as your disciple!"

"Okay, okay, there aren't so many rules in what I teach. Get up quickly, you will be my third disciple from now on." Master Wang Xu smiled with relief.

The night wind was whistling, and it was rare to be quiet. Tian Zhen just now had a master.

By the campfire, the three of them began to chat in the dancing flames. It was basically Tian Zhen asking questions, Master Wang Xu answering, and Da Zhuang listening.

At the beginning, Tian Zhen naturally asked about the magical method of controlling the cremation bird, but Master Wang Xu said that you won’t understand it even if he explains it now, and he will teach you from the basics later.

Then they asked about basic information about evil spirits and how to deal with them. For example, the kind of evil spirit they encountered was a common one, devoid of any intelligence.

Generally speaking, these distracting thoughts are like scattered dewdrops. When they reach a certain amount, they will gather into evil spirits. Another way is to make them gather through external forces. This kind of external force has a shorter existence time than the previous one. However, they are all instinctive actions, but once they harm people's lives, it will be a different matter.

Tian Zhen had some ideas about the information he had obtained, and he asked his master about the feasibility of the method, which was to hold a large-scale gong and drum festival on a certain day every year. In this way, could it allow the fusion to occur before it reaches a scale, and then evaporate in advance?

This method reminded him of the fireworks and firecrackers that were set off every New Year in his previous life. Could there have been evil spirits before?

After hearing this, the master also thought that this method was very good. If it were to spread, it would make his life much easier.

After receiving the affirmation, Tian Zhen instantly felt that he had mastered the secrets of the world, and his future path to cultivating immortals would surely be smooth sailing.

The tense nerves relaxed, just like the cool feeling produced by an engine running until it heats up and then stops to dissipate heat naturally. A strong sense of sleepiness came over Tian Zhen, and he began to nod and doze off continuously, until he lay down on the ground in a daze and fell asleep in the light of the fire.

After all, staying up late is too difficult for a child. As for Dazhuang, he fell asleep long before him.

Wang Xu naturally did not disturb them when he saw this. He closed his eyes and sat quietly in the same place. In the darkness and the firelight, he felt like an immortal who had blended into nature.

“Oh~oh~”

In the early morning, the crowing of the roosters in the village is still so loud.

Tian Zhen woke up slowly, her mind feeling extremely confused. She turned over and fell asleep again.

"Stone~Stone~"

The voice came from a distance, sounding anxious.

It’s so noisy, who is calling me? After being confused for a while, Tian Zhen suddenly woke up and jumped up.

It was his parents! Tian Zhen quickly responded, "Mom! I'm here!"

After saying that, he rushed towards the source of the sound and soon saw his parents in this life.

His parents also saw him and quickened their pace to rush over.

Soon Tian Zhen felt something was wrong. His father actually took a thumb-thick wooden stick from the nearby branches. Seeing that the situation was not good, he turned around and ran away, leaving only the sound of his father's call.

"You idiot, I'm going to beat you to death."
