Chapter 83 Bustling Dashi Village
However, the only thing that made him feel dissatisfied was that he had not yet cultivated his skills and supernatural powers.
He did not know what was going on, what was the reason, he just could not condense the Dharma image outside his body, he had tried all methods, and there was no progress when he and his five clones cultivated at the same time, and so far the progress of cultivating supernatural powers was still zero.
This made him scratch his head and head anxiously, and he was almost anxious to turn gray.
A skill without supernatural powers is not perfect, how could he, a perfectionist, give up willingly?
There must be something wrong, there must be details he did not know.
Long Xuan frowned again, thinking hard.
It was definitely not the creation of the skill that had a problem. If the skill was wrong, the progress would never reach the limit of the first level. Since there was no problem with the skill, then the problem must be with himself. Long Xuan frowned even deeper.
Then where did he go wrong? The skill clearly said to use essence and blood like this, like this, and then like that, and then like that, and then it would be successful.
He had followed the requirements of the technique, and the steps were perfect, without any mistakes. How could he fail? What was the problem? He was almost dying of anxiety.
"Wait!"
Long Xuan suddenly had an idea. The external Dharma image was a condensed shadow of a powerful creature. Does that require something from the creature as a medium?
Otherwise, how could the form be created out of thin air? Using soul power to simulate it would definitely not have the charm, so how could it transfer the power of the creature?
That's not right. The divine beast Shenlong had been extinct in the Gu world for thousands of years. How could there be so many media?
Then how did Long solve this problem, and how did he condense this damn external Dharma image? Long Xuan was almost worried.
Even if the medium of the divine beast is abundant in this world, why didn't Long write this restriction in the technique?
This doesn't make sense? If it's for anti-theft, there's really no need to only prevent it with this one hand. He was puzzled.
In the end, Long Xuan decided to walk around to find some inspiration. If he didn't solve this problem, he would feel uncomfortable doing anything every day.
Dashi Village is very large, with all kinds of stone houses standing in rows. The roads are full of children chasing each other and playing and fighting.
The old people and women are smiling, and chickens, ducks, geese and dogs are running around. It is a warm and kind picture, full of rural atmosphere.
As soon as Long Xuan came here, he felt much more relaxed, without the previous boredom.
Although he was born in Dashi Village, he didn't have much contact with the villagers, and it could even be said that they were not close.
As an immortal, he felt that it was not appropriate to have too many ties with mortals. Gu cultivators and mortals are not people from the same world and cannot get along with each other.
Mortals grow old, get sick and die too quickly. If they really get involved with mortals too much, they are destined to experience life and death separations frequently. Such things may even leave him with demons.
So both the original owner and Long Xuan chose to isolate themselves from the mortal world.
As a result, Long Xuan saw many villagers' faces as unfamiliar and could not call their names. Many mortal villagers did not know him and were looking at him with curious eyes.
Today seemed to be a very special day in Dashi Village. It was very lively. Many people had smiles on their faces and were gathering in one direction.
Driven by curiosity, Long Xuan followed the crowd and came to a very wide place in the center of the village. In the center, there was a high platform built of stones. On it stood two Long clan Gu cultivators with arrogant faces.
Listening to the discussions of the surrounding villagers, Long Xuan also quickly understood what was going on.
Today turned out to be the day when Long clan recruited chores. No wonder the village was so lively today. He really came at the right time.
But don't think that doing chores for Gu cultivators is not a good thing. For an ordinary mortal, it is a lifelong event that has the opportunity to become a Gu cultivator and change his destiny. Therefore, how can a mortal not be excited?
From the original owner's memory, Long Xuan learned that Long clan would come to Dashi Village every three years to recruit chores and teach Gu cultivators knowledge, so that these chores have the opportunity to become a Gu cultivator.
Don't get me wrong, the Long family is not that generous, and they don't lack that little bit of fighting power.
It's just that the Gu Xiu group doesn't engage in production, and no matter what they do, they need a lot of mortals to do the labor.
For example, chopping wood, making fire, and cooking, can Gu Xiu do these rough jobs? They have to recruit a group of mortals to take care of their food, clothing, housing, and transportation?
But there are some jobs that mortals can't do, such as cutting down spiritual wood, how can mortals have the strength to cut down spiritual wood.
For example, taking care of an elder's insect room, the insects in the insect room are so fierce, ordinary mortals go in to deliver food and have extra meals, and they can't do this job without some martial arts.
So the Long family also needs a group of mortals with Gu Xiu qualifications to do various difficult miscellaneous jobs.
Not only the Long family, but almost all Gu Xiu families do this. The cultivation time of each Gu Xiu is precious, and all things unrelated to cultivation must be handed over to this group of mortals with Gu Xiu qualifications to do.
Of course, this world will always cherish its own unique things. The core things will never be passed on to others. The major Gu cultivation families will only teach the most basic and common things to these mortals with Gu cultivation qualifications.
The housekeeping skills will never be passed on to these mortals with other surnames, even if this mortal has the talent of heaven.
Even if this mortal has the talent of an unprecedented monster, as long as he is trained, he will become a Gu King, but he will not be taught by the big families.
Remember, the power unit in this area is the family, not the sect.
The major clans will only pass on the inheritance to the same clan members with the same surname. Outsiders without blood relations are excluded, no matter how high their qualifications are.
It is precisely because this world is full of people who cherish their own things that many mortals have nowhere to go, resulting in more than 95% of the Gu cultivators in this world being composed of casual cultivators.
But even if they will not be taught the core things, it is enough to attract mortals from major mortal villages to rush to do any job.
The original owner had excitedly participated in this kind of chores selection meeting before, but he went happily and came back in disgrace.
He was the first to be eliminated, and he came down just after he went up, because he was a ten-absolute body...
At this time, Long Xuan had a great interest in this chores selection meeting of the Long family.
At this time, he was considering whether to send a clone to plant a nail, let the clone sneak into the Long family, secretly use the original world to copy the Long family's library, and catch all the secrets of the Long family and learn them all.
Maybe the key to condensing the external Dharma image is hidden in the Long family's library. If I send my clone to sneak into the Long family, I may be able to solve the problem of not being able to condense the Dharma image.
The more Long Xuan thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible. He could give it a try. Perhaps this was the opportunity for him to cultivate the Dharma image supernatural power.
Long Xuan showed a happy expression, and the sorrow of many days was swept away.
He looked around and found a corner where no one could see, then released the clone and ordered him to participate in the Long family's errand selection meeting, so that he could infiltrate the Long family and do something like Infernal Affairs.
So the clone went up happily, and seemed to like the thrill of being a spy. However, he went quickly and came back quickly. He came down as soon as he went up, and then looked at the original body with a depressed face.
Long Xuan was stunned. Why was he eliminated so quickly? This script is wrong? He is the protagonist. According to the plot routine, he should definitely be selected as an errand boy. Why don't they play by the routine?
Long Xuan, confused, hurriedly checked the memory of his clone, and soon he looked embarrassed and finally understood what was going on.
When his clone went up, the Long family Gu Xiu saw that he was a Ten Absolute Body, and immediately drove him away with disdain, not even assigning him the job of cleaning the toilet.
Long Xuan was stunned on the spot. What did he do with his Ten Absolute Body? Why did he even dislike a dog and not even worthy of cleaning the toilet?
It seems that the original owner was also kicked off the stage for this reason when he participated in the selection meeting for odd jobs last time.
The Long family Gu Xiu in charge of the selection happened to be the same group of people. Long Xuan's familiar face was exposed as soon as he went up, so he was driven off the spot and lost his dignity.
Long Xuan sighed bitterly, and had no choice but to leave this sad place.
He would never give up this plan. He would let his clone infiltrate the Long family no matter what.
Not only to find the secret of condensing the Dharma image, but also because he was really interested in the various inheritances of the Long family.
Whether it was "Xuanyuan Dragon Art", "Reverse Dragon Art", "Removing Strength Skill", or the Dragon Ascension Gu and Earth Gu in Long Qilin's hand, or the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye of Elder Long.
He found that the inheritance of this big family was really too powerful and gave him too many references.
The profoundness of the various unique inheritances of this Gu cultivation family did not seem to be from a small place at all. There must be big secrets and great origins.
So he was very interested in this big family and planned to send a spy in to pack up all the unique secrets.
Then he left secretly, and he had to praise himself for being such a smart ghost. How could he be so smart?
However, going to the chores selection meeting would not work, so he could only find another way.
Long Xuan quickly thought of a way and walked straight to the direction of Elder Long.
That's right, he planned to seek a way from Elder Long.
After so many years, the Baihua Pill recipe that almost tortured Elder Long to death was finally repaired by him. It was really not easy, and made him laugh for three days in a row.
However, although the recipe of the Hundred Flowers Pill of Elder Long was finally repaired successfully, the materials used were obviously different from those of Long Xuan, and the efficacy of his Hundred Flowers Pill was several times weaker than that of Long Xuan's.
Perhaps because of his cheerful mood, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he actually completed the breakthrough very quickly and became a Linghai period Gu Xiu, becoming a rare master in this area.
In addition, he also has the special identity of an alchemist. After he advances to the Linghai period, he may become a third-grade alchemist. You should know that there is not a single third-grade alchemist in the entire extreme west.
At that time, his value will skyrocket, and his future will be bright.
So Long Xuan had a hunch that the day when he left Dashi Village was not far away.
As an alchemist in the Linghai period, he would never stay in a small mortal village again. That would be too much of a waste of talent. The head of the Long family would definitely let other Long family Gu Xiu take his place.
So Long Xuan wanted to hold on to this potential Gu, let the clone leave Dashi Village with him, follow him to Long's house, continue to take care of the medicine garden for him, and then wait until he has learned everything secretly before finding a chance to leave.
But I don't know if Old Long will remember the old friendship, and I don't know if he still needs chores.
