I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

"No, this matter must not be leaked."

The suggestion of the chief steward of Hulu City had just been spoken.

Zhao Qian immediately rejected it with a slightly ferocious look on his face:

“The gourd vine is the sun plant of our gourd city.

Those powerful people from other cultivation paths relied on their strength to come and take advantage of me time and time again, which made it difficult for me to achieve the ninth transformation.

If the quality of the gourd vine is really improved this time.

Then the medicinal properties released by the gourd flowers this time must be far greater than before, perhaps even stronger than the gourd fruit.

Gourd flowers are different from gourd fruits. The strong people from other cultivation paths don’t pay much attention to them. Therefore, this time they will definitely only send practitioners at the eighth level as they did in the past.

This is a golden opportunity for me to obtain high-quality gourd flowers and thus achieve nine transformations in one go. I must not let those powerful people from other cultivation paths pay attention to the blooming of the gourd flowers.

Otherwise, if we attract a terrifying being above the Nine Transformations, we might not even get a sip of soup."

"But, what should Hulu City do if that indescribable strange creature breaks into the city?" asked the Hulu City manager with some concern.

"What should we do with Hulu City..."

Zhao Qian leaned back in his chair and pondered silently.

After a moment, a frightening cold light flashed across his extremely bright eyes:

“As the ancients said, if you save the land but lose the people, both the land and the people will be lost; if you save the people but lose the land, both the land and the people will be saved!

As long as I can obtain high-quality gourd flowers and advance to the ninth level of transformation, what does it matter if this gourd city is destroyed?

At that time, we can look for a new place to settle down and build a new city.

"That's settled. Old Wang, you'll go inform everyone in the city later and tell them that the cultivators were killed by strange beasts, and that those beasts were attracted by the blooming gourd flowers, just like in previous years. Do you understand?"

"My subordinate understands."

The chief steward of Hulu City nodded slightly without saying anything else, then immediately turned and left.

……

Several days passed.

With the soothing notice coming out of the City Lord's Mansion, and Zhou Heng no longer killing people for money because he no longer needed to buy medicine, the tense atmosphere in Hulu City gradually subsided.

At this time, the powerful people who followed the paths of becoming immortals, secret gods, soldiers, and strange blood finally arrived at Hulu City. It was still three or four days before the gourd flowers bloomed.

"Those people have finally arrived."

Inside the inn.

After learning from the waiter that powerful people from other cultivation paths have arrived and set up tests in the city.

Zhou Heng's eyes suddenly lit up.

Without further delay, He immediately went out and headed straight for the place where the test was set.

At this moment, some people in the city were also gathering towards the place of trial like Him.

Of course, due to the rules passed down by those powerful people from other cultivation paths, only those who have never undergone the corresponding test before can try it. Therefore, the number of people in Hulu City who go to the test site is not too large.

After all, those strong men come to Hulu City every year to set tests. Most people in the city have tried it, and only a few can pass.

……

To facilitate the test.

The test sites are set up in several squares of Hulu City.

The first place Zhou Heng went to was the East City Square where the powerful people on the road to becoming immortals were.

According to the various information he had collected from the city during this period, the path to becoming an immortal in the Eternal Night Realm had nothing to do with the path to immortality.

The path to becoming an immortal does not involve gathering spiritual roots or building a Dantian, but rather directly cultivating the primordial spirit. Using the power of the primordial spirit to leverage the natural energy between heaven and earth to perform various wondrous techniques.

The reason why this thing is called the Path to Immortality is mainly because the abilities displayed by practitioners on this path seem to be more in line with people's imagination of immortals.

However, this thing at least has the word "Xian" in it.

Zhou Heng felt that there was a high possibility that he had the corresponding talent for cultivation, so he decided to try this first. If it worked, everything would be perfect. If not, he would try other things.

……

soon.

Several hours passed.

Accompanied by the ringing of the lights-out bell in Hulu City.

Zhou Heng walked slowly back to the inn he rented with an extremely grim expression.

He spent most of the day running through all the test sites set by the strong ones on the cultivation path. At first, he imagined it very beautifully in his mind, but the reality was very bleak.

Not only does he not have the slightest qualifications to cultivate the path to becoming an immortal, he also lacks the corresponding qualifications to cultivate the path of integrating soldiers, the path of secret gods, the path of incense, the path of alien blood, and so on.

The only way He can practice in this world is to transform His body, a common path that every living being can practice.

"Damn, this is a shady deal. This is definitely a shady deal."

Zhou Heng gritted his teeth in anger.

He guessed that he must have been targeted by the inheritance assessment. This world-destroying inheritance assessment was most likely intended to allow the examinee to perfect the subsequent practice of the path of metamorphosis in order to complete the assessment.

"My goodness, my cultivation of the Transformation Path ended at the ninth stage. I never thought I would need to create my own technique in reality, and even more so after coming to this illusory assessment world. I'm truly destined for a life of toil."

He sighed helplessly.

After returning to his bedroom and lying on the bed.

Zhou Heng closed his eyes slightly, thinking carefully about how the subsequent arrangements should be carried out and how he could possess the power to destroy the world through the path of metamorphosis.

“The relationship between this world’s Path of Transmutation and Yangzhi is absolutely essential.

If you want to reach the seventh or higher stage of the body-shedding process, you can no longer use medicinal baths to assist. You can only directly absorb the pollen of the sun-planted plants or eat the fruits.

However, it is said that even the highest quality Yang plant pollen and fruits cannot enable a practitioner of the ninth level of transformation to break through the limit and reach the tenth level of transformation.

Perhaps only by swallowing a whole Yang plant raw can one obtain the huge medicinal power of the Ten Transformations.

But the Yang Plant is indestructible. Even strong people who have reached the ninth level of transformation in other cultivation paths cannot shake it at all. How can I possibly devour an entire Yang Plant?

This is simply a vicious cycle..."

The more I think about it.

Zhou Heng felt more helpless.

Compared with the real world, the difficulty of creating laws in this world can be said to be both easy and extremely difficult.

The practice of immortal cultivation in reality is created based on the Great Dao and has a fixed underlying logic. Even if it is difficult to sort out this logic, at least there is a goal.

The practice of body transformation in this world is very simple and crude. It only requires the body to absorb strong enough medicinal effects. When the body reaches a certain level under the nourishment of the medicinal effects, it will naturally transform. There is no need to involve such profound areas as the Great Dao.

However, in this world, the Yangzhi Fruit is the most effective supplement for nourishing the body. Apart from the Yangzhi itself, there is no other medicine for body transformation that is more powerful than it.
