In Wulei City, in a small wooden house at the foot of Leiyin Mountain, Chu Jun was lying quietly on a bed, his chest rising and falling slightly, and his breathing even and steady. There were insects chirping outside the window, it was quiet and peaceful, and you couldn't hear the roar of beasts that came and went.
A soft light suddenly lit up between Chu Jun's eyebrows. The light slowly came out as if it was spiritual, and transformed into a graceful woman. Her whole body was covered with soft moonlight, and her face could not be seen clearly. The woman stood in front of Chu Jun's bed and observed for a while, then said to herself: "He is obviously a weak physical practitioner, how can he have the ability to heal himself?"
The woman pondered for a while and said to herself: "The sun and the moon are shining on the universe, maybe I can really give it a try!"
In the dream, Chu Jun came to the quiet valley again, and a huge moon hung in the sky. Chu Jun glanced around the valley and said to himself strangely: "Why are you dreaming of this place again?"
"Your name is Chu Jun?" A dry and cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Chu Junhuo turned around and saw a figure standing quietly behind him. His whole body was covered with soft moonlight. His appearance could not be seen at all, but he was sure it was a woman.
Chu Jun nodded and said, "Yes, why do I dream about you every time?"
"It's very simple, I live in your sea of consciousness!" The voice of the light and shadow woman was dry and cold, without any emotion.
"Sea of consciousness? You mean you live in my head?" Chu Jun said in surprise.
"Yes, you can understand it this way!"
"Who are you and what's your purpose?" Chu Jun asked with a stern face, feeling extremely uncomfortable when he thought of a weirdo living in his mind.
Regarding Chu Jun's question, the woman of light and shadow seemed not to care, and said calmly: "I will live wherever I like. You'd better be obedient, otherwise you will suffer!"
Chu Jun's heart was slightly shocked. This weirdo could break into his mind. It was really easy to kill him. Seeing Chu Jun's silence, the woman of light and shadow said calmly: "You don't have to be afraid, I won't live in your place for nothing. In exchange, I can teach you a skill!" This is a typical example of hitting you with a stick and giving you another one. Sweet dates.
Chu Jun asked doubtfully: "What kind of technique, martial arts?"
The woman of light and shadow was visibly stunned, and said coldly: "Of course it is a cultivation method, do you really not understand it or are you pretending not to understand it!"
Chu Jun's heart moved and he asked: "Is it the kind of technique that can discharge electricity?"
Chu Jun was very impressed by Zhao Yu's ability to discharge electricity from the sword. It would be good if he really had such skills. Anyway, the hope of returning to the original world is very slim now. The fittest survive and the unfit are eliminated. If you want to survive in the current world, you must adapt to this world and make yourself stronger.
"No!" The woman of light and shadow said calmly: "That kind of skill is nothing compared to mine!"
The woman of light and shadow seemed to be disdainful of the discharge technique that Chu Jun admired so much. Chu Jun asked dubiously: "Is your technique very powerful?"
"Go to heaven and earth, control the wind for thousands of miles, and live forever!" The woman of light and shadow said proudly.
Chu Jun sneered and said to himself: "You are exaggerating, you are still immortal!"
"Do you want to learn?" The light and shadow woman seemed to be annoyed by Chu Jun's indifferent expression, and her dry and cold voice was filled with a hint of sullenness.
Chu Jun suddenly realized that this weirdo was living in his head. If he angered her, she would die if he gave it to him. He hurriedly said: "I want to learn!"
Although her tone and demeanor seemed fake, the woman of light and shadow seemed to nod with satisfaction, and her voice returned to a cold and emotionless voice: "My technique is divided into two parts, one is called Linyue Jue, and the other is called Linyue Jue." Lieyang Jue, I will teach you the first level of Lingyue Jue first. If you can master the first level of Lingyue Jue, I will teach you the first level of Lieyang Jue!"
Chu Jun nodded perfunctorily. Seeing this, the light and shadow woman's voice became cold and stern: "If you can't practice the first level of Linyue Jue... humph!"
The woman of light and shadow didn't say what she wanted to do, and only said "hum" instead. This kind of threat of unknown results seemed to be more effective than saying it clearly. A chill rose in Chu Jun's heart, and he straightened his waist solemnly, almost as a conditioned reflex, and said to himself: "She won't eat my brain, right?"
"I'll teach you the first level of the Linyue Technique first. You should note it down carefully first!" the woman of light and shadow said calmly.
Chu Jun's memory was not bad, and he quickly memorized what the light and shadow woman said by heart. The woman of light and shadow nodded with satisfaction and ordered: "From now on, you will practice according to the exercises at night. If you fail to reach the top and awaken after ten days... hum!"
Chu Jun's heart was awe-inspiring: "What on earth does this strange woman want to do? On the surface, she can't teach me the skills for nothing, but she seems to be forcing me to practice them?"
… Dividing line…
In the early morning, Chu Jun was awakened by the sound of people talking outside the house.
"Is he awake yet?" Lin Ping's voice came in.
"Not yet. It would be nice to be able to save one life after suffering such a serious injury. How could he wake up so soon!" replied a strange voice.
"Notify me when he wakes up!" Lin Ping said calmly.
"Yes, senior brother!" A strange voice said respectfully.
Then there were the sound of footsteps getting further away, it must be Lin Ping leaving. Chu Jun stared at the roof with wide eyes, quietly recalling what happened before he fell into coma, as well as the first level of the Linyue Jue taught to him by the woman in the dream.
Chu Jun was struggling with the question of whether it was a dream or not. The door of the cabin was pushed open, and a gray-haired head poked in. His face was mottled with weather, and he looked like a bitter character from the bottom of society.
"Hey, I'm awake!" The man let out a surprised sound, walked in, and went straight to the bed.
Chu Jun smiled kindly and asked, "Old man, what is this place?"
"Old man" said with a dark look on his face: "Am I the youngest?"
Chu Jun was stunned for a moment. He had white hair on his head and wrinkles on his face that could kill a passing fly. Isn’t this old
"My name is Duan Li, and I have been taking care of you these days!" Feng Shuang Man said calmly: "This is Zhengtianmen, Senior Brother Lin Ping brought you back, you are lucky, you survived such a serious injury! "
"Thank you... Brother Duan for taking care of me!" Chu Jun said gratefully.
The wrinkles on Duan Li's face were like chrysanthemums blooming, hehehe said: "Thank you, no need, I received Senior Brother Lin's wages!"
…split…
Lin Ping withdrew the two fingers that were pressing on Chu Jun's wrist veins, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said curiously: "The injury is 80% better!"
Chu Jun nodded and said: "It all depends on Brother Lin's treatment!"
Lin Ping smiled lightly and said: "You will call me Senior Brother Lin from now on!" After saying that, he handed a black waist badge to Chu Jun.
Chu Jun took the waist card in astonishment, and Lin Ping took out another porcelain bottle and placed it beside the bed and continued: "This is the reward for the ten spiritual beans I promised you last time. Well, I have to leave first and wait for you." After the injury is healed, Duan will take you to the responsible Lingtian immediately. If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask him!" After saying that, he stood up and left.
Chu Jun held the waist badge and the porcelain bottle, but before his brain could turn around, Lin Ping's tone seemed to give him a great charity. That kind of unquestionable imposition made Chu Jun feel extremely uncomfortable.
Duan Li, whose face was mottled by weather and frost, looked at the black belt card in Chu Jun's hand with envy and said: "Boy, you are so lucky. You have become an outer disciple of our sect when you first came here. My son has not yet obtained the qualification to enter. I can only take my place after retirement!”
"Are many people vying to become the outer disciples of the Zhengtian Sect?" Chu Jun poured out a golden spirit bean from the porcelain vase and asked while looking at it.
Duan Li glanced at Chu Jun with a strange look, and said proudly: "Of course this is for sure. Becoming an outer disciple of our sect means you have a stable job income. You don't have to go out of the city to do dangerous work. I don't know how much physical cultivation you have." Competing to become an outer disciple of our sect!”
Chu Jun couldn't help but ask: "What tasks are the outer disciples responsible for?"
Duan Li proudly introduced: "Mainly responsible for planting, raising, casting, and some are responsible for daily chores within the sect!"
… …
At night, a full moon hangs in the sky.
Chu Jun lay on his bed and stared at the roof in a daze, digesting the information he got from Duan Li. Following Duan Li's advice, after he recovers from his injury, he will plant something called Lingsu with him. Ling millet is the staple food of people here, just like rice and wheat in later generations.
Chu Jun poured out a spirit bean and smelled it. There was no smell at all. He threw it into his mouth and chewed it. It was sweet. I heard Duan Li say that this kind of yellow spirit bean is refined from spirit millet. It takes ten kilograms of spirit millet to make one spirit bean. After eating one spirit bean, you won't need to eat it for several days. Because spiritual beans can withstand thousands of years of storage and are a necessity in life, they have become a currency.
Chu Jun swallowed a spirit bean and felt a warm breath spread in his stomach. His hunger disappeared immediately, and there was no uncomfortable feeling of being stretched. Chu Jun secretly thought: "It is indeed a good thing, saving time and effort. If future generations of experts can invent such a thing, it will definitely be a revolutionary progress!"
After putting the porcelain bottle away, Chu Jun took out the three fire ape beast crystals and held them warmly in his hands. I heard Duan Li say that one first-level beast crystal can be exchanged for a hundred spiritual beans, and the number of second-level beast crystals is ten times that of the other. Ling beans contain a trace amount of spiritual energy. Immortal cultivators can absorb the spiritual energy in spiritual beans for cultivation, while physical cultivators can use the spiritual energy in them to nourish the body. The spiritual energy content in beast crystals is much higher than that of spirit beans. Some wealthy immortal cultivators prefer to use beast crystals for cultivation. Physical cultivation can only rely on eating to absorb spiritual energy and nourish the body. Naturally, beast crystals cannot be swallowed, so beast crystals Crystals are only useful to immortal cultivators.
Although beast crystals are useless for physical training, it does not mean that physical practitioners don't like beast crystals, because beast crystals can be exchanged for ten times the number of spirit beans. If you can hunt a beast crystal on a trip out of the city, it will be a very considerable income, so many physical practitioners would rather risk their lives to go out of the city to hunt spiritual beasts.
Chu Jun put away the three first-level beast crystals and looked at the tent ceiling boredly. He suddenly woke up from the Cold Moon Technique taught by the light and shadow woman in his dream. Since he had nothing to do, he might as well give it a try.
