Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

A trace of loneliness flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Colored Deer.

"Divine beasts can also be bound and restricted? What kind of feat would that take?" Chen Changfan looked cautious.

The Nine-Colored Deer seemed to have directly agreed to the term "divine beast", and it seemed that its life level was not low. In Chen Changfan's opinion, if the Nine-Colored Deer could break free from its restrictions, its strength would at least be comparable to that of a sixth-level transcendent.

"As you can see, I am restricted by the rules. The power of the rules is too terrifying. No matter what level of life you are, you will be suppressed by the rules." There was a hint of hatred in Jiuselu's tone. It was obvious that he hated these so-called "rules" very much.

Speaking of which, the power of the formation is also the power of rules.

For example, before in Wolong Bay, the demon-locking formation set up by the Water God Cult was able to restrain the dragon.

Then the character who can restrain the Nine-Colored Deer must be at least at level eight.

Level eight, that is still a height that he cannot reach now.

"Let's not talk about this. With your current strength, it's difficult for you to save me. However, I've lived a long time, so I can give you some advice, which is quite useful."

The tone of the Nine-Colored Deer suddenly became old-fashioned. Chen Changfan was actually quite curious about how many years the Nine-Colored Deer had lived, but he also felt it was presumptuous.

Judging from the other party's voice, the Nine-Colored Deer seemed to be a female. It was a bit presumptuous to ask the other party's age so directly.

"Senior, what advice do you have?" Chen Changfan also heard that the Nine-Colored Deer had a good impression of him and wanted to give him some advice.

"Let's first discuss the martial artist's path to the highest level. In my opinion, achieving sanctity of the body and unifying the mind and will are the best paths to the highest peak. The most crucial point, and one often overlooked, is that there are 81 steps involved, and every one of them must be taken with absolute certainty."

This sentence sounds ordinary, but it actually contains a lot of information.

First of all, why did Jiuselu say that the warrior path was the best way to reach the pinnacle? Was it because the sorcerer was not strong enough, or the Gu Master was not weird enough, or the Confucian scholar was not powerful enough?

In the extraordinary system, everyone seems to have an unspoken default contempt chain, but no matter who despises whom, warriors are at the bottom of the contempt chain.

Because when they advance to the later stages, the warlock has robes to support him, the sorcerer has poisonous insects to strengthen himself, and the scholar has the righteous spirit to protect his body. This makes the three originally fragile professions become as tough as warriors, but their means of attack are much richer than warriors. The gap is immediately reflected.

But from what the Nine-Colored Deer said, when a warrior achieves sanctification of the body and harmony of mind and will, he will be able to aspire to the highest position. It sounds like he is of high standard.

The second half of the sentence, the ninety-nine and eighty-one steps mentioned by the Nine-Colored Deer, is easy to understand.

There are nine steps in total, and each step can be climbed up to nine steps. Doesn’t that make up ninety-nine and eighty-one steps?

He said that no step should be missed. It seems that I am on the right track.

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already climbed 27 steps. Very good, that's good..."

Jiuselu said "very good" twice, obviously seeing through Chen Changfan's background, which made him feel ashamed as if his underwear was seen through.

"My child, you did the right thing. Each step forward may be difficult, but you must keep going. Remember, every step counts and every step must be steady."

Chen Changfan was a little confused by Jiuselu's advice, but he still nodded seriously because that was what he had planned.

The further back you go, the more difficult it becomes. This is why he always has to accumulate his qi and blood until they are strong enough before climbing the stairs.

"I think we've strayed off topic. Let's talk about the staircase. It's located in a valley on Difei Mountain. It's easy to spot; it's just a giant round pit. Isn't that strange?"

Yes, every meteorite has a crater around it, it's really amazing...

Chen Changfan silently complained in his heart.

"That stepping stone contains an inexplicable power that can weaken the pressure of the Heavenly Dao when climbing the stairs, making the process easier. If someone can only climb three steps normally, they can at least climb five steps using the stepping stone."

Chen Changfan's eyes lit up. If it was true as Jiuselu said, then this stepping stone would be a great help. Perhaps he could really consider climbing to the fourth step of Difei Mountain.

But this is the mountain gate of that group of powerful people, so isn’t it a bit risky for him to do this?

After all, you cannot be distracted when climbing the stairs. Once you are interrupted, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"If you want to protect me, I can do it for you. Even if that brat Li Xian attacks me personally, I can still block him."

When Jiuselu said this, a hint of pride flashed across his face. It was obvious that he was not bragging, but that he really had the ability.

But Chen Changfan glanced at the river under the latter's feet and thought to himself, isn't this guy restricted to the river by the rules? How can he come out to protect me?

As if sensing Chen Changfan's slight doubt, a hint of displeasure flashed across the Nine-Colored Deer's face, and he rolled his eyelids in a humane manner. "Although I'm not as good as the four ancient divine beasts, I'm still one of them. Protecting you is already a great opportunity, and you're actually looking down on me?"

Chen Changfan smiled bitterly. He hadn't expected that his little thought would be noticed immediately by the other party. It seemed that women were always sensitive creatures...

"Senior, please don't misunderstand me. If you can protect me, I will naturally be grateful. But I remember you said that you were restricted by the rules, so you hesitated for a moment." Chen Changfan explained immediately.

"You mean this river? My current condition is indeed not as good as my peak, so I need the power of water to maintain my abilities. You can carry this formation plate with you. When you need it, activate the formation and then throw a stone into the river. I will know it is you calling me."

The Nine-Colored Deer provides a solution.

It seems that this divine beast has really encountered some problems, and I wonder if it can get rid of them in the future?

"Mind your own business first. When you become stronger, it won't be too late to rescue me."

After the Nine-Colored Deer finished saying this, his figure quickly became transparent and illusory, and then disappeared.

Chen Changfan nodded thoughtfully, then put away the formation plate.

Wow!

The river water disappeared, the cracks in the ground recovered, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

Chen Changfan looked at the array plate and found that the array plate, which was originally full and shiny, had now become dim by a small half, which seemed to be a sign of energy consumption.

"It seems that this array disk can still be used one or two times. I wonder if it is disposable or can be recharged."

Chen Changfan skillfully destroyed the bodies and quickly cleaned up the battlefield. In addition to talismans, pills and some silver and money, a parchment map caught his attention.
