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

"Deer God? Deer God, could you please come out and see me?"

Chen Changfan asked tentatively, and then he felt a throbbing in his brow, and the sound of gurgling water suddenly rang in his ears. A stream suddenly appeared in front of him, and the figure of the Nine-Colored Deer slowly appeared above the stream.

"What do you want to call me for? Hey, your energy and blood seem to have increased a lot... How long has it been?" The Nine-Colored Deer couldn't help but exclaimed, feeling as if he was in another world.

Well, even if it's two days...

"Deer God, this is not important. Let me tell you about the current situation..."

Chen Changfan quickly informed Jiuselu of his recent heart palpitations and his current situation. A thought flashed in the latter's eyes, and then he slowly shook his head.

"There is indeed an evil spirit beneath this Xuanyuan, but it has no connection with you and cannot contaminate you out of thin air. Therefore, the palpitations you feel should have nothing to do with this evil spirit."

Hearing the Nine-Colored Deer calling "Evil God" over and over again, Chen Changfan knew that the Nine-Colored Deer's condition was getting better and better.

I don’t know why, but Jiuselu’s recovery speed is now beyond my imagination. Is it because I call him out to chat from time to time?

Chen Changfan didn't continue to think about it, but asked cautiously, "That palpitation just now shouldn't be my illusion. Besides, martial artists usually have a very accurate sense of crisis. Is it possible that I'm being targeted by something?"

The Nine-Colored Deer blinked. "Do you have any direction? Or a specific feeling?"

Chen Changfan smiled bitterly. "It would be nice if I could sense something specific. I just felt a deep sense of malice coming towards me. Could it be a fox demon, a tree demon, or something like that that's taking advantage of me?"

Chen Changfan almost said directly that the Black Mountain demon clan wanted to marry him, but he had no evidence.

"Demon?" Jiuselu shook his head slowly. "The demons aren't as cunning as you think. If they were greedy for your body, they would probably crawl into your bed at night."

Chen Changfan: ...So direct?

"You are a person with great luck, standing out among ordinary people. Perhaps you have been targeted by some immortal cultivator?"

"Immortal cultivator?"

Chen Changfan immediately thought of the Xuan Ji Five Tribulations Soldiers' True Record that he had been practicing. This was his secret and no one had ever mentioned it to him.

"You may not know yet, there are still immortal cultivators in this world, right?"

Jiuselu didn't want to reveal this information to Chen Changfan too early, but seeing that Chen Changfan was improving so quickly, he felt that this guy would know the existence of immortal cultivators sooner or later, so it would be better to inform the other party in advance so that he could be prepared.

"Xiu Xian was originally one of the four major cultivation systems. I even speculate that in ancient times, there may have been more cultivation systems and the inheritance was more powerful. However, for some reason, the various inheritances were cut off later, and there are only a few cultivators left."

The Deer God's voice was filled with emotion. "This has to do with the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and also with the overly harsh conditions for cultivating immortals. Although I don't understand immortal cultivation very well, I do know that they all emphasize the concept of root bones. Those without root bones will never be able to enter the transcendent realm in their lifetime. Those with excellent root bones can rival high-level transcendents in just a few years."

Chen Changfan compared them silently and felt that this immortal cultivator was indeed very terrifying.

If one chooses the path of a martial artist, as long as he studies hard and practices diligently, and has enough resources to improve his Qi and blood, he can generally reach the extraordinary level when his Qi and blood reach their peak around the age of 30. However, the improvement of Qi and blood will become slower as time goes by, and may even show an uncontrollable downward trend as he ages.

In other words, the entry threshold for martial artists is low, but their growth in the later stages is too slow.

However, cultivating immortals is different. First of all, the threshold is relatively high, and one needs to have spiritual roots.

If one does not have spiritual roots, even if one spends his entire life on it, he may not be able to enter the door.

But once you get started, you basically start out as an extraordinary person. After a few years of practice, you will have the strength of level six or seven. The ceiling can be said to be extremely high.

If you are targeted by an immortal cultivator, you will be in trouble. Who knows how powerful the immortal cultivator's methods are?

He is only halfway through practicing the method of cultivating immortals, but he feels that it is becoming easier. If someone has started practicing immortals since childhood, his strength will probably become more and more terrifying.

"Deer God, can you see my aptitude? Do I have the aptitude to become an immortal?" Chen Changfan asked expectantly.

What he had learned along the way could be described as a mixture of things. He had tried martial arts, witchcraft, talismans, and even spiritual words, but his talent in these areas was average. If he had not relied on the power of the system, he would not have risen so quickly.

He is now practicing the method of cultivating immortals. If he has a good foundation in this area, wouldn't he be even stronger?

The Deer God's eyes suddenly became bright and hot, becoming like two incandescent light bulbs, moving back and forth over Chen Changfan's body, and then his eyes dimmed again, returning to their usual appearance.

"How is it? How is my physique?"

Chen Changfan knew that it was the Deer God who was checking his bones. Seeing that he was slow to speak, he asked with some anticipation.

The Nine-Colored Deer blinked, then slowly shook its head.

"Although I can't see, I don't see any roots in you."

Jiuselu just glanced at Chen Changfan and spoke directly.

If you don’t know how to read, then don’t talk nonsense!

Chen Changfan suppressed his inner complaints, "This is not important... Deer God, if I am really being targeted by a cultivator, how should I deal with it?"

The Nine-Colored Deer looked thoughtful, as if he had not anticipated such a question.

The methods of immortal cultivators are strange and unpredictable, and they can even kill people from miles away. Before figuring out the strength of the other party, the best way to defend yourself is to hide yourself.

But now that Chen Changfan can sense the other party's malice, it is obvious that the other party has already known Chen Changfan's identity, and he may come to him at any time.

If the method was more insidious, they could just hide in the dark and attack Chen Changfan when he was not prepared. Then there would be no defense against him.

"How about this? I'll leave you a rune mark that you can activate when you sense danger. Then the rune will directly move you into my watery space. Unless the enemy can chase you all the way into the watery space, you will be safe."

As he spoke, the plum blossom mark between the Nine-Colored Deer's eyebrows flashed, and turned into a ray of spiritual light petals that fell down, attached to Chen Changfan's wrist, and then dissipated, leaving behind a plum blossom mark.

At the same time, Chen Changfan also sensed the connection with the mark on his wrist. As long as he thought about it, the mark would be activated and the response was very sensitive.

"Thank you, Deer God!"

With this plum blossom mark, as long as he is not seriously injured and dying, or his mind is controlled, he can easily activate the mark and escape into the water space of the Deer God.

"I'm helping you, and I'm also helping myself. Do you... have anything else to say?"

Chen Changfan knew that the Deer God wanted to leave, so he quickly asked:

"Deer God, can you further sense what lies beneath this profound abyss? I want to go down and investigate."
