On the edge of the majestic and majestic Monster Mountain Range, there is a city called Baiyun City.

In the city, a middle-aged man with a weathered face and lifeless eyes sat quietly on the main seat in the City Lord's Mansion, like a statue that had lost its soul.

The man looked to be in his forties or fifties, with gray hair on his temples and a body so thin that it seemed as if a gust of wind could blow him down.

There is no doubt that Wang Bin traveled through time and unexpectedly became the body of Qingmu who had suffered a miserable failure in his breakthrough.

Aoki himself doesn't even know his specific name.

Ever since he practiced the "Qingmu Jue", he simply named himself Qingmu.

In the past two days, Wang Bin slowly accepted this fact.

I have been concentrating on sorting out Aoki's memories.

Qingmu was originally just an ordinary casual cultivator, possessing three spiritual roots of gold, wood and fire, and his talent could only be described as average.

Among his spiritual roots, wood spiritual roots occupy a dominant position. For this reason, he chose to major in the "Qingmu Jue" which is widely spread in the world of immortal cultivation.

When he was eighty years old, he succeeded in building his foundation by luck with a low-grade foundation-building pill, and from then on he had a lifespan of two hundred years.

At that time, he was extremely popular among his circle of friends who were casual cultivators, and was praised by everyone.

As a result, his inner confidence burned like a raging fire, and he felt that his journey towards the Golden Elixir seemed full of hope.

However, twenty years later, he finally realized that all this was nothing but his wishful thinking.

During these twenty years, he experienced several thrilling adventures, and almost lost his life every time. Fortunately, he was lucky and escaped death time and time again.

It was these life-threatening experiences that made him fully realize the cruel reality.

To put it bluntly, the fundamental reason why he had difficulty in his cultivation was poverty.

In the world of cultivating immortals, the expenses are simply astonishingly high, and the further you go, the greater the expenses become.

Those blessed mountains and places with abundant spiritual energy have long been firmly occupied by major famous sects.

And all the mines and spiritual veins in the world of immortal cultivation are owned by someone.

Even some small mines and spiritual veins that the big sects looked down upon were occupied by small families.

He never imagined that the world of cultivating immortals was also full of human relationships and worldly affairs like the secular world.

Those small families occupy some resources that the big sects disdain, but if a casual cultivator dares to rob them, the powerful backers behind them will be immediately exposed, and in the end, it will still involve a disciple or elder of the big sect.

It is extremely difficult for a casual cultivator to survive, and Qingmu has thought about changing careers to become an alchemist, formation master, or talisman painter.

Unfortunately, he did not have enough spirit stones to learn a side job and practice skills, nor did he have any famous teachers willing to guide him.

In desperation, he could only do odd jobs occasionally, or venture to the Monster Mountain Range to collect herbs and hunt monsters in order to obtain the resources needed for cultivation.

In this process, risk and reward are directly proportional, and every action is full of huge risks. He has had the idea of ​​killing and robbing many times.

But every time, because of my weak strength, poor equipment, and fear in my heart, I never dared to take action.

In order to realize his dream of becoming a golden elixir, Qingmu had no choice but to sell his freedom and join the Sihai Merchant Alliance.

He became an outer sect deacon of the Four Seas Merchant Alliance and was sent to garrison Baiyun City on the edge of the Monster Mountain Range.

Here, he can receive an annual salary of two thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Since he was not a talent cultivated by the Chamber of Commerce since childhood, his talent was average, and he did not understand the ways of the world, so he basically had no chance of being reused.

He had no chance to learn the sect's core skills, and was ultimately sent to this bitter and cold place helplessly.

He became the mayor of Baiyun City in the Monster Mountain Range. However, this so-called mayor actually only managed a small market town.

This market town is a resting place for monks heading to the Monster Mountain Range, and its main function is like a sentry post.

If a large-scale invasion of human settlements by demonic beasts occurs, he will be responsible for reporting the situation to the higher-ups. The spiritual energy here is very thin, with only one secondary spiritual vein below.

Apart from the spiritual energy needed to maintain the formation, the rest of the spiritual energy is more than enough for three or four Foundation Establishment cultivators to practice.

This was also one of the reasons why Qingmu chose to join the Sihai Business Alliance.

After all, as a casual cultivator in the foundation-building stage, one usually absorbs and exhales spiritual energy by either renting a cave in a big city or setting up a spirit gathering array by oneself, and both methods require a large amount of spirit stones.

Qingmu used the salary he had saved for twenty years, a total of 50,000 spirit stones (occasionally squeezing the monks in the city), to buy a Broken Mirror Pill.

He had originally wanted to use this Broken Mirror Pill to break through to the middle stage of foundation building in one fell swoop, but unfortunately, he was not fully prepared.

At the critical moment of the breakthrough, there was a serious shortage of spiritual energy, which resulted in the failure of the foundation-building spiritual platform to be successfully formed, and ultimately the breakthrough failed.

Many of his meridians were broken, and he had no money to buy meridian-protecting pills at the time.

If he wanted to buy the Pulse Protecting Pill, he would need to save up another ten years' salary.

He wanted to take a risk, but ended up failing and died.

At this moment, Wang Bin, who had traveled through time, took over his body.

After integrating these memories, Wang Bin felt filled with emotion.

He never imagined that the world of cultivating immortals would be just like in his previous life, where all the good things had owners.

Here, the situation of robbing resources is even more serious, and there is no legal protection. If you are not careful, you may die.

Ordinary cultivators basically have no chance of making a breakthrough, and the situation of independent cultivators is even more difficult.

Wang Bin has been in this world for two days, but he still hasn't heard the legendary system's voice.

It seems that he has no such luck and can only accept this cruel reality helplessly.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, the current situation is not bad.

After all, this is a magical world of cultivation where everything is possible.

Moreover, as soon as he crossed over, he directly became a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, although this body was already one hundred and twenty years old.

But at least he can still live for another eighty years!

It seems like he died suddenly at the age of thirty in his previous life?

I wonder who will help him pay his mortgage? Who will inherit his wife?

His cell phone...

Wait! It's over!

No one will check the contents of his phone!

His eternal fame!

Oh, forget it! Oh!

Now, the only trouble Wang Bin faces is that the meridians in this body are broken in many places, and his strength has been greatly affected.

Although he cannot die, he cannot exert the strength that a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage should have.

Do I have to wait a few years to save up enough spirit stones to buy a rejuvenation pill?

Or go and exploit the independent cultivators below and get some spirit stones from them?

Or maybe venture to the Monster Mountain Range to hunt down a few Foundation Establishment stage monsters?

A demon beast in the foundation-building stage can be sold for tens of thousands of spirit stones. Adding to the wealth possessed by the demon beast itself, it might be enough to hunt one.

But can he really win?

This Qingmu only learned some simple and basic wood spells, and his equipment was also very poor.

Although Wang Bin now has these memories in his mind, he has never used these skills.

Qingmu's most valuable things are the low-grade magical Taoist robe, a medium-grade magical flying sword, a life-saving medium-grade magical shield, and a pair of low-grade magical boots.

Even if you add all of these together, they won’t sell for ten thousand spirit stones.

This is really too miserable!

There were some miscellaneous things in the storage bag, which were not worth a few spirit stones at all.
