This is how immortals are cultivated

This is how immortals cultivate the one, two, three, and four dimensions.

Good news, Fang Suichu traveled to the immortal world full of spiritual energy. When he woke up, he was in the immortal mountain gate, becoming a new disciple, and also had a system.

The bad news is that the immortal world is fake. The so-called immortal world in this world is more like a Chinese Cthulhu, practicing various strange curses. Moreover, the so-called new disciples are actually sold to strange sects as training materials.

The worse news is that Fang Suichu's system really regards this place as an orthodox world of cultivating immortals.

Chapter 1: Life-threatening System

In the dark stone chamber, Fang Suichu was in a daze.

The environment in the stone chamber was quite poor, cold and damp, and there was even a disgusting stench in the air.

The stone chamber seemed to be carved into the mountain, with no light from the outside world coming in. The only source of light was a white candle in the corner.

At this time, Fang Suichu was staring at the flickering candlelight in a daze.

Fang Suichu traveled here three days ago.

It took Fang Suichu three full days to completely digest the memories of this body and understand what kind of world he was in.

The advantages of this world are similar to those of ancient China, which is feudal and mainly based on agriculture.

If it were just this, there would be no problem. Perhaps Fang Suichu could use the modern knowledge in his head to gain a good background in this world.

But the problem is that this world is different from the materialistic world that Fang Suichu understands. There are many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense.

There are many 'spirits' and 'ghosts' in this world.

The reason why the words "spirits, ghosts and gods" are put in quotation marks is because these things are completely different from the gods and ghosts that Fang Suichu understands.

From Fang Suichu's perspective, it is more of an abstract concept of curse and meme than a specific spirit or ghost.

Since it's a curse, it's of course extremely negative. And no one knows where these curses come from or how they were created, yet they're everywhere.

In such a world, the human mortality rate is extremely high, and being able to live peacefully to the age of forty is considered a natural death.

In such a world, people have become accustomed to these spirits and ghosts, and even worship these curses as real gods.

In such a world, the atmosphere can be described as desperate and numb.

In theory, a world like this is unsuitable for the development of civilization, or even for the continuation of humanity. The fact that civilization, and even the feudal system, could even emerge is a fortuitous miracle.

But Fang Suichu understood that this was neither a coincidence nor a miracle.

Because, there are practitioners in human civilization.

As for what is being cultivated, it is naturally the twisted and cursed power possessed by the so-called spirits, ghosts and gods.

Humans cannot use curses, and the so-called "cultivation" is nothing more than making oneself closer to weirdness, or even becoming weird.

Weird cultivation requires resources, and the most useful and easiest to obtain is naturally the most intelligent creature on earth - humans.

Creating systems, building towns, cities and even dynasties to protect humanity was simply to provide humans with the most basic conditions for reproduction.

Just like raising livestock, if you want the livestock to grow fat and large in number, you always have to provide a suitable environment.

This is not just a conspiracy theory speculation by Fang Suichu, but the facts are laid out in the open.

If you want to live in a place where town order exists, in addition to the general levies and taxes, you also have to pay a tax called "human tax".

What this person pays as tax is not rice or grain, nor money, but real people.

Yes, handing over people as a form of tax.

This was the case with its predecessor, which was handed over to the government as an "item".

Then, after a series of twists and turns, he was bought by a Taoist priest, taken to the mountains, and thrown here, and finally died in fear.

Then there is the current incident of Fang Suichu resurrecting through another body.

Just as Fang Suichu was pondering what to do: whether to escape the prison of the cave and be killed by the curse outside, or to resist the Taoist priests and be killed, or to simply do nothing and wait to be made into materials and die, among all the various possible endings, he heard a ding in his ear.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the system activation]

[This system is a destiny system, designed to help the host obtain many destiny and reach the pinnacle of life]

[This world has been carefully selected by the system. It is a world of immortality, full of spiritual energy, with many seekers and spiritual veins. Please strive to find immortality and the great way.]

Not to mention the sudden system, the system's prompt voice has already confused Fang Suichu.

Immortal...Taoist world?

Although the goal of the practitioners in this world is to seek immortality, this "immortality" is a bit strange.

And full of... aura?

You call a world full of curses full of spiritual energy?

Ah, I see, the aura of despair, right?

You still say it’s carefully selected, system, you must be doing this on purpose.

At this moment, Fang Suichu wanted to complain, but he didn't know where to start.

After a brief silence, the system voice sounded again.

[The host has been detected to be in the midst of an adventure... The host is incredibly lucky! This system hasn't even made a move yet, and they've already encountered one.]

Good luck... System, are you sure you are lucky and not unlucky? Why did the game collapse at the start?

[The type of adventure detected is 'Xianyuan']

You have been bright and clever since childhood, and your family has high hopes for you, so they send you away to study. On your way, you meet a Taoist priest who sees you as a gifted talent, and takes you to the mountains.

It was clearly handed over as a blood tax, and was brought to the mountain purely because it was bought by the Taoist priests here and brought back as some kind of material reserve.

Good seedling...you probably mean good material.

Fang Suichu, who had originally felt some hope for the emergence of the system, felt his heart turn cold again, and he blurted out the word "divine gold".

The sound was not loud, but it was very clear in the quiet cave.

"Brother Suichu, what's wrong?"

A moment later, a timid female voice came from the right side of Fang Suichu.

The grotto is the "material room" of the Taoist priests who occupy this mountain, and of course there are more than just Fang Suichu's materials.

Inside the cave are separate stone prisons, and Fang Suichu is in the middle one.

In fact, the rest of the people in the cave were bought in the same batch as Fang Suichu.

"Why bother with him..."

Another female voice came from the stone cell further to the right.

"Isn't it normal for a fool to do anything?"

"Besides, compared to the ghostly howling when he was first thrown in a few days ago, he is in much better condition now."

"Besides, why is Xiao Shuo so concerned about him? We are all in a difficult situation now. It's better to take care of ourselves than to care about others."

"Sister Li, don't say that..." The voice of the girl called 'Xiao Shuo' gradually became very low. Sister Li's words revealed the cruel reality, which made her feel depressed and sad.

"Brother Suichu is a good man. He has protected me before."

At a market selling human materials and other materials, several people who were also human materials tried to bully her. It was the foolish Fang Suichu who stood in her way. Fang Suichu was beaten so hard that he vomited blood.

"Good man..."

The girl's words seemed to irritate the woman surnamed Li. She laughed, and her laughter was full of sarcasm.

"This guy is indeed a good person. After all, what kind of person can a fool be? But...in this world, good people die the fastest."

"Good people are all pitiful..."

"Just like your brother, New Year's Eve, when he first arrived at the market, he was plump and white, and dressed in brocade clothes. He was obviously from a wealthy family. If he hadn't encountered some shameful thing, how could he have been sent to the market?"

In a society where people truly eat each other, there is no such thing as human rights.

Although every household has to pay human taxes regularly, wealthy families have various ways to replace their own human taxes with those of other people.

When the two first met Fang Suichu, although he was a fool, he looked very well cared for by his family. How could such a person be thrown into the market?

It's nothing more than those dark and disgusting things in the family.

The girl simply ignored this "Sister Li" and called Fang Suichu's name again.

Fang Suichu, who was already somewhat disheartened, responded to the girl.

In fact, this girl had been calling Fang Suichu for no reason during the three days since he had traveled through time.

However, during those three days, Fang Suichu was busy digesting the remaining memories in his body and did not pay any attention to the other party.

If I remember correctly, the girl's name was 'Wu Yuanshuo', and the other woman of the same age was called 'Li Qingming'.

"I'm fine, Xiao Shuo."

"I'm glad you're okay..." Wu Yuanshuo replied.

But then the girl seemed to realize something was wrong and uttered a "huh".

"Brother Suichu, you..."

Today's Fang Sui Chu is of course very different from before.

When his mentally retarded predecessor spoke, he had to stutter and struggle to organize his words, but now he speaks very fluently.

Fang Suichu knew why Wu Yuanshuo was so surprised, so he explained:

"I suddenly woke up a few days ago."

Li Qingming on the other side naturally heard Fang Suichu's words, and she made a sound of amazement:

"Can dementia be cured? Could it be that the yin energy here has stimulated his enlightenment?"

"However, this isn't a blessing in disguise. Now that I'm awake, I might as well remain in my previous state of confusion. At least, I won't be too desperate before I die."

"Sister Li, stop talking!"

Wu Yuanshuo's voice rarely became louder, and there was also seriousness in his soft tone.

Seeing this, Li Qingming also closed his mouth, but just before closing his mouth he sighed. It was unclear whether he was lamenting his own fate or the fate of the others.

The previous sharp words were just a release of the despair and unwillingness that had been pent up in his heart.

"Brother Suichu, you scared me to death before." Wu Yuanshuo said.

When the Taoist priest came up the mountain and threw him into this stone prison in the cave, Fang Suichu reacted violently, but three days ago he suddenly stopped making any sound. Wu Yuanshuo thought Fang Suichu had an acute illness.

In fact, the predecessor did die.

Fang Suichu thought to himself.

"Brother Suichu, are you hungry? I left some food for lunch."

In the candlelight, a small hand stretched out from between the bars of the stone prison next to Fang Suichu.

There were some stains on the little hand, but it was not difficult to feel how white and tender it was.

The little hand was still holding half of a hard steamed bun.

“I’m not hungry…”

Fang Suichu raised his hand, his hand passed over Wu Yuanshuo's small hand, passed through the gap between the stone fences, and successfully touched the soft little head.

Sure enough, it’s very comfortable and stress-relieving.

Just as Fang Suichu felt the pressure ease, his subordinate Wu Yuanshuo froze and fell silent. When Fang Suichu withdrew his hand, Wu Yuanshuo remained silent.

"Xiao Shuo?"

Fang Suichu didn't realize what was happening and asked in confusion.

"Really? Don't you know that physical contact between men and women is forbidden? You've made this girl shy." Li Qingming spoke again, a smile in his voice. This time, there was no self-deprecating sarcasm, but a genuine chuckle.

"Stop talking...Sister Li." A thin, muffled voice came from the darkness, and the girl seemed to lower her head and bury it between her knees.

There is nothing better than finding joy in suffering.

But soon, the atmosphere that had finally relaxed a little was broken again.

Fang Suichu only heard a 'ding' sound, and the voice of the Divine Gold System rang in his ears again:
