Volume 1 Lin Yuan Chapter 2: Everything is ready, only the immortal fate is missing
"It's time to seize the opportunity..."
"If it's lost, it's lost..."
"It's impossible to agree to Tu Jiaojiao. It's impossible in this lifetime."
"What's the point of sacrificing one's chastity to gain power?" Wang Chen withdrew his gaze from Tu Jiaojiao's face. He felt that it was not difficult at all to maintain the bottom line between the purity of human nature and the medium-intensity opportunity.
Of course, if the person he was defending was Cai Bingyun, it would not be a problem for him, but the result would be completely opposite.
"Bingyun, what time in the evening..."
It felt a bit strange to ask the same question twice, but he was interrupted again before he could finish the sentence.
"My dear nephew! My dear nephew!"
Listening to this old and excited voice, Wang Chen looked at the skinny figure walking towards him quickly with a little annoyance.
Today's meal was really lively, so lively that we couldn't finish a sentence.
The visitor was Cai Mushi, the village chief of Huangpo Village, who was also Cai Bingyun’s father.
"Congratulations, nephew. Congratulations, nephew." Cai Mushi had a happy look on his face, and his bronze face was covered with wrinkles.
"What's going on? Is he going to force Cai Bingyun on me? What's there to be happy about?"
"After you become an immortal, please do not forget our Huangpo Village and take care of Youhua for the sake of our friendship." Cai Mushi said without any greetings. He went straight to the point and bowed respectfully to Wang Chen.
Cai Youhua is Cai Bingyun's real name. It seems that Cai Mushi has been calling her that since childhood, and it is difficult to change it now.
Village Chief Cai usually treated him well. Wang Chen stood up to return the greeting, and an idea flashed through his mind.
"Become an immortal?"
This thought has been turning over in my mind for a long time, and I can't help but feel moved when I hear it now.
"Is it possible that something good is going to happen to me?"
The immortals that the villagers talk about are cultivators who fly in the air on the wind. Ordinary people who want to become cultivators naturally need to go through chance and coincidence, such as accidentally taking some rare treasure, or being born with the aptitude of a cultivator and being noticed by a master and introduced into the door of cultivation.
In addition, some sects would regularly send people down the mountain to recruit disciples in order to expand their power.
"Could it be that the opportunity I've been waiting for should come today?"
Thinking of this, Wang Chen's heart was inexplicably excited. If he was really taken away from this remote place by the cultivators, then with his ability to discover opportunities, he could plunder the relics, ancient treasures, and various opportunities for martial arts left in this world. He had every reason to believe that he could grow quickly and become the top master in this world and eventually break through the void.
The scene was so beautiful that Wang Chen had no idea how many times he had fantasized about it.
As expected, Cai Mushi continued, "An immortal has come to our village, and he said he is looking for someone with the aptitude to practice cultivation. I think in our Huangpo Village, if there is anyone who can become an immortal, I'm afraid you are the only one, my nephew."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Chen quickly walked out of the cafeteria.
It has long been a recognized fact that Wang Chen is the Sleeping Dragon of Huangpo Village.
Others were sure that he had the aptitude to practice because he could chant when the bright moon would appear and sing how the stars would connect into a line. Although these things were not popular with the villagers who were still living in the slash-and-burn farming stage, they were enough to make him a genius in the eyes of the villagers.
Wang Chen has full confidence in his aptitude for cultivation because he has the ability to see opportunities. In addition, he can swallow the Green Tuo Fruit to greatly strengthen himself and become the best swordsman in Huangpo Village. Doesn't this explain the problem?
After all, some people are too weak to benefit from supplements, so even if they take some magic medicine, they still have diarrhea and nothing changes.
"I just lack an opportunity." Wang Chen's heart was burning with excitement.
Huangpo Village is not big. Wang Chen had not walked for long when he saw two handsome young men with swords on their backs, wearing neat white clothes, standing under an old jujube tree in the loess square in the center of the village.
The clothing was specially designed, with the outer garment and inner garment separated into two parts, one loose and one tight. It looked quite spirited when worn, and had a somewhat immortal air.
There were two cultivators, one tall and one short. The shorter one looked to be about the same age as Wang Chen, and there stood a majestic crane next to him, which was almost as tall as the two of them combined.
"This is a cultivator." Wang Chen was fascinated. In the future, I will also catch such a big bird as a pet and ride on it every day.
With the intuition of a hunter, Wang Chen knew from the first moment he saw the crane that he, the best knifeman in Huangpo Village, was no match for it.
The crane kept looking around with its faintly glowing eyes, and its gaze seemed to be full of disgust for the surrounding villagers. Especially when it saw two shirtless, dark-skinned and unkempt young hunters who were testing their aptitude for cultivation, its contemptuous look seemed to be full of human nature.
"This flat-haired beast has some vision." Wang Chen nodded secretly.
During the years he lived in Huangpo Village, he had a certain understanding of almost everyone. Wang Chen simply did not believe that apart from himself, there were other people here who had the roots of a cultivator, including Cai Bingyun. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be filled with cultivators, and ordinary people would become a rare species?
"So, can you guys please stop wasting time?"
Wang Chen really wanted to shout like this, but in the end he reminded himself again and again to keep a low profile.
You are about to become a cultivator, so why should you leave an unrememberable impression in the hearts of these hardworking villagers who work hard all day long?
Although we will be separated into two worlds from now on, there are still some people and things worth remembering in Huangpo Village.
Thinking of this, Wang Chen shook his head slightly, sighing.
“No qualifications.”
Sure enough, following the younger cultivator's cold voice, the two young hunters who were conducting the test turned around angrily, revealing two transparent beads floating in the air that shone with colorful colors under the sunlight.
It seems that the key to the so-called qualification test lies in these two beads.
"I'll do it. I'll do it."
Just as Wang Chen was about to step forward, another teenager and a young man rushed forward and grabbed the two beads.
"No qualifications." After a moment, the younger cultivator announced expressionlessly.
Even though they were declared to be mortals for life, the two did not feel any loss. After all, becoming a cultivator requires at least one in a hundred qualifications, and the hope was too slim. They did not hold out much hope, and the worst that could happen was that they could continue to live off the land, which was not a big deal.
However, the two cultivators showed a slight impatience. They went down the mountain to recruit people because it was difficult to disobey the orders of their master. Moreover, this remote village was so messy and the strange smell that went straight into their nostrils was a torture that they would find it unbearable to stay there for a moment longer.
But the world is so big, and there aren't many people with the aptitude of a cultivator. Moreover, they have also been filtered through the layers of other sects who recruit disciples using the same method. How can there be so many pearls left in the ocean?
After thinking about it this way, they both decided to leave.
"My dear nephew, we can't wait any longer. I heard that Tie Niu from the neighboring Funiu Village was selected to become a cultivator yesterday. What if the sect limits the number of people it can recruit? Wouldn't it be..." Cai Mushi had been following Wang Chen. As the village chief of Huangpo Village, he understood very well that when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit. This was why he had always been polite to Wang Chen.
"tractor?"
Wang Chen had some impression of this hunter from the next village. He was tall and strong, with a hearty smile. He was one of the few hunters who could have some common language with him.
"Sure enough, he also has the aptitude to be a cultivator. Maybe I'll have to call him fellow Taoist in the future." Wang Chen nodded secretly and strode towards the spirit bead being tested.
