Chapter 661: Immortal Heaven and Mortal World

At the gate, Li Qi looked at the huge plaque on the gate.

Its name is ‘Bai Lu’.

Bai Lu City, this name is quite interesting.

Because this name is actually a very auspicious saying, and it uses the language of the world. Obviously, this first-class world has been influenced by the world.

It is precisely because of this influence that this world chose extreme xenophobia after its development, because the world is not a good thing, especially the way of natural evolution and Taoism that this world has come into contact with.

Neither of them is a good person in the usual sense.

However, although the characters used are from the world, the pronunciation and language are different. Li Qi walked in the crowd at the gate of the city, observing the characters nearby and the pronunciation of other people.

As a fifth-class person, just by looking at it like this and going around, he has already learned the language of this world, basically 80% of it.

After all, the characters are the same, so the pronunciation is not a big deal at all, just like learning a dialect.

After learning the language, Li Qi began to pay attention to people.

It was outside the city, but the guards were still strict. Li Qi could see guards everywhere, and he could also see many practitioners, dressed the same as the rest of the world.

Some of these practitioners were not of the rank, and some were of the ninth rank, but they all had a solid foundation, and it could be seen that they were not amateurs.

In other words, even if they were amateurs, their skills were complete, not fragments they had put together.

Some were walking, and some were leading spirit beasts. These beasts seemed to be wild beasts that followed the way of evolution, but their intelligence was not open, so they could only be driven by people, just some powerful beasts.

It seemed that there were no monsters.

Moreover, when the true rhyme swept over, Li Qi found that the people here had different bodies from those in the world.

Sure enough, although the humanoid race had special advantages in cultivation, each place was different, even in the first-rank world.

This difference, coupled with the differences in the world and the differences in skills, led to unexpected changes in the Taoist skills of the world.

For example, after the golden elixir, the practitioners of the Taoist sect only improve the purity of their Tao heart and cultivation. Some people say that cultivating Taoism should first cultivate the heart, and magic power is secondary. If your Tao heart is stable, your magic power will naturally be strong.

The essence of the golden elixir, whether it is the inner elixir or the outer elixir, is to stabilize the inner world. Either through the outer elixir method, use external force to achieve "no leakage", or temper yourself into a golden elixir. In this way, you will no longer easily exchange materials with the outside world, and you will be able to achieve a leak-free body, and your life will be long from then on, and you will even achieve immortality.

But it is different here. The golden elixir here will not only not actively cut off from the outside world, but will even actively absorb the external air and greedily mine the external spiritual energy.

After mining, use the "no leakage" nature of the golden elixir to store it all without leaking it.

In this world, every practitioner is a black hole that only eats and does not spit out. It only mines the world without any return, which is even more extreme than human nature.

Li Qi is a little uncomfortable with this.

If it is witchcraft, the human body is an open system, which requires constant interaction with the outside world, with both inflow and outflow, and the natural boundary between the body and the outside is blurred, so it can achieve the operation of merging with nature, and can also achieve longevity through such interaction.

But here, it is more extreme than Taoism, only inflow and no outflow, relying on mining the world to improve the mana.

How to say...

I can only say that the first-grade world is indeed solid, so many people can still maintain the first-grade grade by sucking blood, even in the mortal world, the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers is at a considerable level.

However, there are people who are not in the rank and the ninth rank here, so Li Qi has not seen the strong men of the eighth rank or close to the seventh rank for the time being, and I don’t know how the high-end combat power of the mortal world is.

But from the perspective of those people in the ninth rank, the combat power of this world is actually quite strong, because this kind of golden elixir that only inflows and does not outflow, their combat power is generally much stronger than the general ninth rank.

Not a little stronger, but much stronger.

Of course, this is only calculated from the depth of the cultivation of mana, and does not add coefficients such as magical powers and spells.

In addition, the ecology here, including the appearance of the market, is actually not much different from the cities of most humanoid creatures in the Ten Thousand Worlds. They are all distribution centers of resources, but Li Qi can't understand the resources sold here.

Although he can't understand it, if he really knows that Yun scans around, the material properties of these resources for sale will mostly be clear in his mind.

For these ninth-grade and non-grade practitioners, the experts among them, with years of accumulation, may not be as accurate as Li Qi's one glance.

Most of the transactions here are barter, but Li Qi found that if the value of the barter is not equal, they will take out a high-purity gas crystal similar to the gas beads in the world as a supplement.

Li Qi doesn't know what this thing is called, but it is produced by the naturally generated mineral veins in this first-grade world.

It really deserves to be a first-grade world. Even in such a remote place, a large number of gas crystals can be naturally produced, so many that they form mineral veins, and the purity has reached the point where they can be directly absorbed for cultivation.

Moreover, Li Qi found that when they traded, they were very wary of each other.

To be precise, even though cities have been built, everyone in this world still maintains a savagery similar to that of primitive society.

They are covered with thorns and are wary of everything around them, fearing that someone will plot against them.

Generally speaking, practitioners living in a civilized world will gradually lose this wildness and become civilized and friendly, because civilization and friendliness are more suitable for mutual cooperation. It is difficult for practitioners covered with thorns to adapt to such a life. They either force themselves to adapt and learn the magic of friendship such as "love, friendship, and kindness", or leave civilization and continue to wander alone.

The simplest point is that people in civilization do not worry about being stabbed to death when they sleep.

But people who keep their wildness are always worried that they will not wake up when they sleep.

By observing such differences, Li Qi can clearly draw a conclusion that this world is indeed very dangerous, the competition is very fierce, and it is a complete arena of life and death.

Even if they are forced to cooperate, they still remain vigilant against each other and will not easily expose their weaknesses and heels to the outside world.

How to say...

This attitude may improve personal strength, but it will cause extremely serious internal friction for the civilization as a whole.

Can the Immortal Heaven Realm really become a first-class world in this way?

Li Qi couldn't help but doubt it.

This method cultivates only lone beasts, not civilizations that are good at cooperation.

After carefully observing for a while in his own way and getting familiar with some basic rules here, Li Qi lifted the state of being integrated with nature, just like an ordinary person strolling in the market outside the city, and pricked up his ears to listen to what people around him said.

Perhaps it was a coincidence. After Li Qi appeared, he just started to listen, and suddenly a robbery appeared next to him.

Right next to Li Qi, at most three feet away, a cultivator who was setting up a stall was not careful for a moment, and the ban on the stall was suddenly broken by someone. Three people suddenly took action, three different magical powers, grabbed things on the stall and ran away.

"What a handsome magic." Li Qi raised his eyebrows. These three people broke the ban, robbed things, and evacuated in one go, with skilled cooperation, and the magic was also very high.

It was obviously the ninth grade, but this level of magic, under the suppression of the heavenly way, ran out of the speed of the eighth grade of the Baiyue cultivators in the world. According to Li Qi's estimation, these three people only need a blink of an eye to rush out thirty miles.

When Li Qi was a ninth-rank thief, he couldn't run so fast.

"Interesting." Li Qi turned slightly to make way for the three people.

He had no intention of interfering in these matters, after all, they were all local people's business.

However, one of the three thieves, when passing by Li Qi, actually reached out and tried to grab the mustard bag on Li Qi's waist.

This amused Li Qi.

Boy, you are really unlucky.

Thirty miles in a blink of an eye, such a movement is almost like slow motion in front of Li Qi, who is a fifth-rank thief.

So, Li Qi reached out and grabbed the other party directly, lifted him up lightly, and then pressed him to the ground, pulled him with magic, and forcibly tied his hands behind his back, and then pressed his knees.

All this was done in a flash, even at the speed of thirty miles in a blink of an eye, he still couldn't see anything clearly.

The thief only felt that his eyes were blurred, his accomplice had fled, and he was pressed to the ground.

What happened?

This thought flashed through his mind.

But in just a moment, he realized what happened.

Damn, I met a master.

He felt like crying but couldn't, but he was obviously an expert, and immediately said to Li Qi: "Master, I'll give you everything! Spare my life!"

"I don't need that, I just want to see what they are going to do." Li Qi responded.

Then, Li Qi focused his attention on the guards around him.

There was a robbery here, and these guards looked very well-dressed, and even formed a formation. Although it was not a military formation, they were not expected to have such high-end things.

So, how would these people deal with it?

Li Qi observed it, and the answer was, no response.

These soldiers didn't pay any attention to this matter at all. At the same time, Li Qi found that other places were not peaceful either. Stealing and robbery were not surprising here.

It's just that some succeeded and some failed.

The successful ones escaped, and some of the failed ones barely ran away, but some were still caught.

Just like the one Li Qi is controlling now.

At this moment, the shop owner had taken this opportunity to pack up the scattered things and came to Li Qi.

"Senior." The shop owner seemed very respectful, because Li Qi had shown his fighting ability before.

Obviously, in this world, fighting ability is an extremely important criterion.

It's different in the world. The research and development talents in the world are much more important than pure fighting ability.

In fact, most of the sons of Wushen Mountain are not good at fighting, such as Li Qi.

Of course, after the years of serving as the chief killer in the war between humans and witches, and learning countless battle reports from the Demon Prince, Li Qi's fighting ability has now made great progress and is no longer the weak chicken before.

"Well, how are you going to deal with him?" Li Qi glanced at the shop owner and asked.

When the shop owner heard Li Qi ask this, a trace of horror appeared in his eyes, and he immediately said: "Such a little thief should be executed, and the things on him will be dealt with by the senior."

"Senior! Spare my life, I still have treasures in a secret place. If I can survive, I am willing to offer them all!"

"Okay, let me handle it." Li Qi nodded, took off the things that belonged to the shop owner and threw them to the shop owner.

The things were not all there, because the other two thieves who escaped also had some, but that was about it, and Li Qi was not interested in helping others track down the case.

"As for you, stand up." Li Qi stood up and motioned the thief to stand up.

He stood up quickly, secretly happy.

Obviously, the big boss was not going to kill him.

The shop owner next to him did not move, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but he did not dare to show it, but was still respectful.

Li Qi did not care about him, just said to the thief: "What's your name?"

"I... I'm Juye." The thief named Juye said immediately.

"Lead the way, you should have a place to stay, let's find a place to sit and talk." Li Qi ordered him.

The other party nodded immediately, like a chicken pecking at rice.

So, it was really so simple and easy, a person who robbed in the street, just left here under the watchful eyes of the guards.

These guards were not looking at Juye, the thief, but Li Qi.

It seemed that robbing ten thousand times was not as important as one ‘strong man’.

Li Qi nodded slightly, and almost understood the logic of the operation of the mortal world in Xiantian.

Juye led the way respectfully in front, taking Li Qi through the city, walked about fifty miles, and walked into an inn.

It should be considered an inn, anyway, it is a shop outside the city that provides accommodation services, the building is six hundred feet high, and people come and go.

Juye took out a piece of paper with a contract written in divine calligraphy. Li Qi noticed that it was a house rental agreement. They rented here for a month and paid a ninth-grade spirit beast skull and thirty-five spirit stones.

Hey, that thing is really called a spirit stone?

Li Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

After showing the contract, Li Qi and Juye were able to enter the building smoothly and sat down in Room 560 of the word "Di".

The room is elegantly decorated in a worldly style, but there are still some things that Li Qi finds strange, which should be the specialties of this world.

Moreover, this place pays great attention to safety, with a large number of protective formations.

It is also due to the style of the world.

Juye closed the door tremblingly, and then knelt on one knee on the ground: "Senior...if you have any needs, please let me know."

"I want you to be my guide." Li Qi said: "After all, you were forced to rob, right?"

After saying this, Juye suddenly looked up.

How did this person know?

Can he read minds? (End of this chapter)
