Chapter 8: Such a world, it's wonderful!

This territory under the jurisdiction of the Chiyuan Immortal Sect.

Most Outer Sect Disciples will be stuck at the Mid-stage Qi Refining for their entire lives, unable to make any progress.

Those who can enter the Qi Refining Late Stage, like that Outer Sect Deacon from the same period, do not exceed one percent.

As for those who can cultivate to Qi Refining Perfection before the age of sixty and obtain that one-in-ten-thousand possibility of Foundation Establishment... in the twenty years Su Ping has seen, not a single person has appeared.

However, it is rumored that those Inner Sect Disciples and even personal disciples with good talent will mostly reach Qi Refining Perfection before the age of forty, then use five to ten years to polish their foundation while accumulating contributions to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

Generally speaking, those who can successfully achieve Foundation Establishment before the age of fifty can be called an Immortal cultivation genius.

Su Ping has been cultivating for twenty years and just turned forty this year.

Relying on taking pills for cultivation without fearing pill toxins, he can also be considered to have kept up with the progress of those Immortal Sect geniuses.

Furthermore, Su Ping believes that with the help of the Purification Spirit Medicine, he does not need to polish his foundation or exchange for those ridiculously expensive finished Foundation Establishment Pills at all.

He can just find an opportunity to secretly buy a few or even dozens of waste Foundation Establishment Pills; if one attempt fails, he can immediately try again! He is not afraid of the side effects of a failed Foundation Establishment at all; he will definitely succeed in Foundation Establishment and leave those geniuses of the same age far behind!

One week later.

Beside a nameless lake in the suburbs of Jinque City.

Su Ping, who set out alone to find a fishing spot, put away his fishing gear with some regret.

"Counting this week, I have almost traveled through all the fishing spots around Jinque City, and even tried a few streams and rivers deep in the mountains and forests, but I returned empty-handed every time."

"It was truly luck that I was able to activate the system at Linyue Lake."

"However, after this week, as my cultivation deepens, I can try to take four waste Peiyuan Pills to assist my cultivation starting next week."

"This feeling of constantly deepening cultivation is really great!"

"The refresh time has arrived, it's time to go back!"

Just as Su Ping stood up, two small mice on his shoulders suddenly squeaked twice.

"Hmm?"

Su Ping moved slightly, and under the connection of his consciousness, he immediately understood; it was the spirit mice warning him that they sensed other cultivators were rushing toward this place.

As the contractor, Su Ping still trusts the sensing ability of the spirit mice very much.

After these two little cuties became extraordinary, their size remained unchanged, and although their combat power is worrying, they awakened the mouse-like talent for scouting and early warning, and the range far exceeds Su Ping's own.

"As expected of the spirit pets I chose, this early warning range is at least ten kilometers; I'm afraid no one in the Qi Refining stage can have such an early warning range!"

"Whatever the other party wants to do, it has nothing to do with a fisherman like me; it's better to leave early!"

Su Ping did not intend to meddle in other people's business; he moved his left hand to clear the traces by the lake and then quickly left the place.

Several hours later.

Su Ping appeared by Linyue Lake and began to fish.

This week, the luck at the Linyue Lake fishing spot was not bad, and 70 new fishing attempts were refreshed.

Su Ping washed his hands, calmed his mind, and began to fish, finishing the week's attempts in one afternoon.

【Current Fishing Level: Level 2 (120/500)】

【The current fishing attempts for the fishing spot have been exhausted... please continue next time!】

As usual, he tied up a Big Green Fish to end the fishing, and Su Ping stood up and looked back at his side.

The maid Ping'er and those servants, upon discovering that Su Ping had appeared by the lake, all sensibly served him on both sides.

Seeing Su Ping finish, they immediately came up to serve him and brought fruit platters and tea soup.

There was even a cook who took the fish bag, and looking at the Big Green Fish that was still in a dazed state, he had already thought of at least nine ways to cook dishes related to grass carp.

While enjoying himself and checking his harvest, Su Ping could not help but have a flash of joy in his eyes.

This time, he obtained a total of 60 Small Green Fish and 10 Big Green Fish.

Adding his stock, there were already 100 Small Green Fish, 19 Big Green Fish, and 1 Green Spirit Fish in the game warehouse! He had already met the conditions required for the unique item, the Return to City Talisman! After returning to Linyue Villa, Su Ping immediately called the butler to arrange a series of new requirements. Afterward, he went to his inner treasury in the villa and put some mundane items that might be used, such as gold, silver, and jewelry, into his Storage Bag.

After eating and drinking his fill and resting his mind, he made an excuse to go out for night fishing and stayed away from Linyue Villa.

Su Ping hid in a cave in a desolate place outside Linyue Villa, ensuring that even if the item had any strange phenomena, it could be obscured by the mountains and forests.

Only then did he use the Fishing Mall function to redeem the unique item, the Return to City Talisman.

The Return to City Talisman is called a talisman, but the body is more like a Jade Pendant, about the size of a child's palm, with lifelike fish patterns carved on both sides.

It inexplicably reminded Su Ping of the legendary Double Fish Jade Pendant.

【Return to City Talisman (Unique): After use, you can immediately teleport back to the default or temporary teleportation point, cooldown time 12 hours!】

【Temporary Teleportation Point: Not set】

【Default Teleportation Point: Can teleport】

Su Ping took a deep breath several times, recited the Heart-Clearing Mantra a few times, and then took out an Invisibility Talisman from his Storage Bag.

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he slapped it on himself to hide his figure just in case.

Then Su Ping placed the temporary teleportation point in this cave.

Even if he could really go back to Water Blue Star, he could not give up the Cultivation World; if he couldn't come back, that would be a real loss! Everything was ready, and only then did Su Ping choose to use the Return to City Talisman! "Whether I can cultivate to Immortality and live forever depends on this step!"

"Return to City Talisman, activate!"

In the cave where Su Ping was, a faint blue light flashed.

Immediately, the cave became completely quiet.

Water Blue Star! A ward on the third floor of an abandoned maternity hospital in the suburbs of a certain inland small city.

Su Ping shook his body, and after adapting to the light, his eyes saw where he was.

He did not recognize where this was.

But through the familiarity that welled up from the depths of his soul, he realized that he had truly returned to Water Blue Star!

This world without Spirit Qi made Su Ping, who had become a Cultivator, feel a faint sense of discomfort in his body.

But it could not stop the joy in Su Ping's heart.

"Spirit Qi is the foundation of the extraordinary; if the foundation ceases to exist, the extraordinary becomes like water without a source!"

"This ordinary world, without Spirit Qi, without the foundation for the existence of the extraordinary..."

"Is undoubtedly a world of despair with not a shred of possibility for those who desire Changsheng."

"For me, however, such an ordinary world is truly wonderful!"

"Does this look like some kind of hospital ward?"

Su Ping scanned his surroundings and, noticing the dilapidated decor, realized with a start: "The default teleportation point for a Return to City Talisman is the player's spawn point, so this must be my spawn point on Water Blue Star?"

"I... was born here?"

"Fortunately, times have changed, and this place must have been abandoned for a long time; otherwise, I might have encountered some trouble teleporting here!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The two spirit mice, one white and one gray, also jumped out of Su Ping's pocket and sprawled onto the shoulders that made them feel at ease.

The unfamiliar environment devoid of Spirit Qi made the two little mice very anxious; if not for Su Ping being by their side, they would likely have wanted to dig a hole and escape immediately.

Su Ping stepped to the window without glass, gazed into the distance, and became somewhat lost in thought as he looked at the familiar yet strange city.

"It has been twenty years, and it is indeed different from my memories; it seems time has been passing in both worlds during this period!"

"If I don't want to cause trouble, it would be best not to use my previous identity."

During the new book period, I will maintain two chapters every day and try my best to update before 7:00 PM. Thank you, readers, for your support of Xiaobai! (*)(End of chapter)
