Chapter 300

The Oil Tai people left a famous quote for the world—"Rather than die in despair, it is better to burn passionately!"

So Bai Bufan, who continued to be chased and killed by the boys after evening self-study, chose to find a pillar and start pole dancing when he really couldn't run anymore. By burning passionately, he successfully avoided the death penalty and won bursts of applause.

This is the wisdom of the predecessors, let us thank the Oil Tai people together with Bai Bufan.

But there is no need to thank them too much, because the Israelis are also too racial knights.

Just thank them as appropriate.

Letting Bai Bufan go, Lin Li didn't go to the Old Friend district to fish tonight, but went straight home.

After all, a new week is coming soon, and he still has to make some preparations for going to the cultivation world to cultivate. Lin Li also plans to refresh once this week, time is tight and the task is heavy.

Arriving home, Lin Li immediately began to change his equipment and configure the supplies he needed to carry.

Lin Li wouldn't be sure that he would go to the cultivation world this time, and didn't rule out the possibility of random worlds, so Lin Li's preparation was relatively comprehensive, and he still planned to wear a protective suit.

Everything was ready, Lin Li came to the bathroom and called out the system.

"Current reset price: 200 system currency"

When Lin Li clicked reset, 20 system currency was deducted, the "Return" button lit up, and the number on the "Reset" button changed.

The price of the second reset actually increased tenfold directly, making the cost-effectiveness suddenly questionable.

Hopefully it will reset with the update.

A white light flashed.

It was still the cultivation world, and the stay limit was still six hours.

Because he didn't bring an extra watch last time, Lin Li didn't know how long had passed in this world, but judging from the sky, there shouldn't be much change in a few minutes.

Lin Li looked around, compared it with his memory, and confirmed that the food and tools he deliberately left behind had no traces of being moved, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Taking the drone out of his backpack, Lin Li walked to the edge of the Hanging Mountain again.

The drone took off and flew into the distance following the control handle in Lin Li's hand.

This drone uses radio control. After all, in the cultivation world, even the most expensive drone would not be able to use most of its functions because there are no satellites and networks.

At the same time, because there is no network, Lin Li cannot view the footage shot by the drone in real time and can only wait for it to return before viewing the recording.

Lin Li flew the drone into the air between the Hanging Mountains, then operated it to hover meaninglessly, his eyes looking at the sky.

"Boom!!"

A purple thunder arrived as promised, but it, which was originally generated in the distant sky, actually deflected its direction and fell on the drone.

In an instant, it vanished into ashes, and no traces of it could be found anymore.

298.

Spring Breeze Elf sales -1.

"It actually really stares at things to strike?" Lin Li frowned and sighed.

This is the result that disappoints Lin Li the most.

He didn't dare to go out even more.

This is also why Lin Li didn't use the drone behind the mecha, fearing it would encounter the scene in front of him.

The mecha's reconnaissance drone has no functional limitations and can transmit footage in real time.

But this kind of drone is one less for every one broken. Lin Li has two "Repair Crystals" on hand. "Repair Crystals" can repair 50~100% of mecha damage, but Lin Li doesn't know if the consumption of ammunition and drones counts.

And it's impossible to use this crystal just because the drone is gone.

So testing errors naturally starts with inferior products.

Dead objects would get the favor of this purple thunder once they left the mountaintop, and Lin Li couldn't test living things either.

But Lin Li soon thought of a solution to this problem—since he can't go out, then he can't go out, just lie flat.

Sleep when encountering difficulties, don't do it.

Returning to the center of the mountaintop, manifesting the "Spirit Gathering Heavenly Array", and placing the brought "Spirit Spring" and a pile of empty spirit stone shells under the array core, Lin Li began to manipulate the array to expand.

The long-distance limit that can be controlled by this expansion is slightly beyond the last time. This is the result of Lin Li practicing occasionally on weekdays in the modern world this week.

The surrounding spiritual energy flowed as gently as a stream, the speed of gathering was faster than last time, and the manifested weather was more obvious.

Lin Li sat cross-legged, because it could be considered that the safety of the environment had been confirmed, his mind was more immersed.

Except for the frequent purple thunder and the humming sound occasionally coming from the northwest, the cultivation world was unusually quiet the rest of the time.

The reason why he knew it was northwest was because Lin Li discovered last time that the compass didn't work and he couldn't determine the direction, so he immediately crammed knowledge after returning to reality and learned a trick.

—When a person can't tell the direction and doesn't have tools on hand, he can open his mouth and stay for thirty seconds in the front, back, left, right, and four middle directions. The direction that feels full is the northwest.

Practice has proven that it is easy to use.

The process of absorbing spiritual energy is very monotonous. Fortunately, because the process of absorption is comfortable, it doesn't make people feel bored and uneasy.

Time passed bit by bit in such an environment.

Lin Li opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

The flow of spiritual energy suddenly became chaotic.

The next moment, a crisp sound of plastic packaging being touched appeared from the side.

Lin Li, like a stressed cat, instantly retracted the "Spirit Gathering Heavenly Array" and "Spirit Spring" into the 【Warehouse】 and got up, looking at the direction the sound came from, ready to run away at any time.

He saw an old man in green clothes standing not far away, holding the compressed biscuits Lin Li brought last time, placing them in front of him, and looking at them curiously.

The old man had white hair, but it was not the pale of decay, and could even be called beautiful hair.

Hearing Lin Li's movement, the old man looked up, with curiosity and scrutiny still on his face that he hadn't covered up: "Little friend, finished cultivating?"

This is already seeing himself for more than a moment?

Lin Li's expression was still a bit stiff, but then he breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from this reaction, this old man had no malice toward him.

At least not now.

So he nodded, and Lin Li asked the old man extra politely: "Old sir, you are..."

"Dao name Shanqing, just call me Shanqing Daoist," the old man stroked his beard and smiled.

"Hello Shanqing Daoist, I am... Lin Li."

Lin Li, who originally wanted to call himself Bai Bufan, thought about it. This old guy might have some ability to see through falsehoods. If he lied and was seen through, his impression score would be deducted immediately.

Better be honest.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, little friend Lin Li. How did you enter this forbidden land? Could it be that this place has already connected with the outside world?"

Shanqing Daoist flashed to within two meters of Lin Li in one step, his eyes even more curious:

"Your Daoist robe style is novel, and the stitches are finer than those of the Heavenly Craft Workshop, but why is there no Dao rhyme and no divine strangeness, or is it that I am clumsy and didn't see it?"

He was probably referring to the protective suit on his body.

"And these objects, why have I never seen them before? Has the outside world actually changed in a hundred years?" The old man pointed to the supplies scattered on the ground around him and asked again,

"Your person, your cause and effect, I actually can't see clearly at all..."

"Shanqing Daoist..."

Because the situation was too sudden and Lin Li had no contingency plan, he was speechless for a moment.

And in a situation where there is no time to make up a story, the best solution is to tell the truth:

"I am not a person from this world, not from the outside world you mentioned. The reason I can come here is my kind of... innate divine ability."

"What do you mean by not a person from this world? Are you an extraterrestrial demon? But there is no such weak extraterrestrial demon."

Hearing this, the old man couldn't understand even more, his eyes puzzled.

"Shanqing Daoist, you should have discovered that these things are all mortal objects, but they are completely inconsistent with the mortal objects in your cognition. This is something I brought from my world. You can understand it as... I come from a completely closed, isolated cave heaven and blessed land.

Not only that, the Heavenly Dao logic of the cave heaven I am in is also completely different from your cognition, and there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth..."

Lin Li tried to explain in a way the other party could understand.

Listening to Lin Li's elaboration, Shanqing Daoist fell into thought, and then confirmed unconfidently:

"So you ascended from a purely mortal world to our world, right?"

"Something like that. My divine ability is ascension, and here, which is the forbidden land you mentioned, is my ascension point. This is something I cannot choose. If my appearance disturbs you, then I am really sorry."

Lin Li nodded, then apologized.

"No need to apologize, this is not my territory. Besides, ascending here might be considered your misfortune. This place is barren, you should have already noticed, there are no living things nearby," Shanqing Daoist shook his head:

"If little friend cannot even achieve Grain Grain Bigu currently, just relying on these brought supplies, I'm afraid even survival is a problem."

"Shanqing Daoist, my innate divine ability allows me to go back, no need to worry about this," Lin Li thought about it and said it out loud.

"Can still go back? There is such a magical divine ability that allows people to come and go freely between the upper and lower worlds, unheard of," Shanqing Daoist raised his eyebrows upon hearing this: "Especially being in this forbidden land, the Great Dao laws have already been worn away. Theoretically, outsiders cannot enter, and insiders cannot go out. Are you really sure you can go back?"

"I have gone back, and I can demonstrate it to you later."

"Can't you demonstrate it now?"

"My divine ability also has certain limitations, it takes time," Lin Li didn't want to waste the opportunity.

"A divine ability that can break through the chaos of this place..." Seeing Lin Li so confident, as if he had really gone back, Shanqing Daoist's eyes lit up, "Can you carry others or objects?"

"Only objects can be carried, and they must be purely dead objects, even dead living things won't work," Lin Li shook his head, "If you don't believe me, you can see and verify it later."

Lin Li tested it last time. The rules for carrying objects in this world are the same as in the doomsday world. Fresh meat can be brought over, but cannot be brought back.

However, he hadn't tested the situation of putting it in the "Qiankun Ring", because Lin Li was worried that even the "Qiankun Ring" would be left in this world.

"This is also reasonable... power is always accompanied by restrictions," Shanqing Daoist nodded upon hearing this, but his expression couldn't hide his disappointment.

"So Shanqing Daoist, are you trapped here?" Lin Li took advantage of this silence to change the direction and asked Shanqing Daoist, trying to obtain information in reverse.

"Yes and no. Although you see me now, I am actually already dead."

"Are you Yang Jian?"

"Who is this?"

"Nothing, you continue."

Shanqing Daoist didn't cover up much and simply told Lin Li about his origin and the place.

This forbidden land has no name. A hundred years ago, it was the peak battlefield of humans and demons.

A classic death battle that lasted for several years, truly wearing away the Great Dao.

And the final result was a miserable victory for the human race. The great demon's power was killed, and the remnant soul was suppressed and worn away, but the price for doing all this was that Shanqing Daoist and two other human great powers also gave up their physical bodies and lives, using their physical bodies as a prison to wear away the remnant soul.

The wearing away has been going on for nearly a hundred years and is still ongoing.

Because this place is empty and void, the three of them have no physical bodies, their soul bodies are also damaged, they cannot perform any cultivation, and the broken laws make them feel extremely uncomfortable.

Being awake with nothing to do gradually became a torture.

But someone must be staring at the suppression and killing of the demon remnant soul to prevent accidents.

This place, the human race cannot get out, but the demon race may not be so.

So for the first ten years, the three of them were awake together and could still perform meaningless 'Dao discussion' to kill time. Later, they simply agreed that each person would take turns to be awake for one year, and the other two would enter a deep sleep.

And now, it is Shanqing Daoist's waking time.

Not long ago, the flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth finally made him perceive it in the distance, so he curiously came here and met Lin Li.

"This place is extremely boring. For a hundred years, no one has been able to break through the shackles to come to this forbidden land. If it weren't for the fact that those remnant souls haven't been completely wiped out, I would have killed myself long ago. 'Living' is meaningless."

Shanqing Daoist shook his head and sighed.

"The human race should thank you." Although it is definitely a hero, it has no real feeling for Lin Li, but he still has to say some polite words.

"Responsibility, that's all," Shanqing Daoist waved his hand, then pointed to the surrounding supplies, with some anticipation:

"Little friend, since you don't really need this food, can you let me taste it?"

"It's possible, but without a physical body, can you still eat?" Lin Li asked.

To be honest, if Shanqing Daoist hadn't said it himself, Lin Li wouldn't have been able to see that he was just a soul, because there was no transparency at all, and the whole person had a real feeling.

"Although there is no physical body, I can still condense a physical entity."

Getting permission, Shanqing Daoist explained, then opened a bag of compressed biscuits and tasted them in his mouth.

Chewing slowly and silently, Shanqing Daoist pulled a smile from the corner of his mouth: "Really not bad."

"Is it delicious?" Lin Li asked somewhat puzzled.

This compressed biscuit, which is mainly for satiety, is definitely not delicious.

"It has nothing to do with taste, it's just the first desire for food in a hundred years, which is enough to make me feel happy," Shanqing Daoist shook his head and explained with a smile.

That's true. If Bai Bufan hadn't eaten anything for a hundred years, let alone shit, even compressed biscuits, he would eat them with relish.

"Then if you need it, you can take all of these," Lin Li said immediately.

"There's no need for so much," Shanqing Daoist waved his hand with a smile, moved closer to Lin Li, and asked with full curiosity: "Little friend, can you tell me more about things in your world?"

"Okay."

It can be seen that nearly a hundred years of loneliness made Shanqing Daoist interested in everything. No matter how Lin Li described things about the modern world, he was very curious and listened with relish.

"Can it be done to this extent without magic arts? It's really hard to imagine. Perhaps this is the wisdom of the human race. After being unable to practice immortal Dao arts, they found a way to become stronger elsewhere."

Shanqing Daoist closed his eyes and tried to imagine Lin Li's world, but he really couldn't imagine it.

He opened his eyes helplessly, holding Lin Li's mobile phone, constantly pressing the power button, watching it light up and go out, his eyes full of emotion.

"I can't explore or deconstruct the mystery of this object at all."

Just like the doomsday world, the characters are common in both worlds. If you have to say the difference, it's probably that the cultivation world mainly uses traditional characters, so Shanqing Daoist can roughly understand it.

"Grandpa Shanqing, if you want to see real pictures, although I can't take you to reality, I can download a few documentaries next time and bring them for you to see," Lin Li said upon hearing this.

Lin Li had quietly pulled the relationship closer, and Shanqing Daoist had no objection to the small change in address.

"What is a documentary?" Shanqing Daoist asked.

"It's a film that records the changes of things, uh, as for what a film is, it's this..."

After predicting Shanqing Daoist's question, Lin Li took back his mobile phone and showed it to Shanqing Daoist:

"This is a cartoon."

"This is a movie."

"This is yellow... damn, we skip this."

"We skip this one too, this one... damn! How come they are all, who downloaded these videos into my phone!"

Actually, the phone album is okay. If Lin Li opens the file assistant and finds the video storage path of QQ, then Lin Li dares to say that nine out of ten are colored, and the remaining one is shit moved by group friends.

Shanqing Daoist: "?"

Why not skip it.

"Forget it, Grandpa Shanqing, let's not watch it first." Damaging his image, Lin Li coughed twice and closed the phone, "In short, a film is a video like this—like a shadow-recording stone, shadow-transmitting talisman, etc."

"A documentary is a long-term shadow-recording stone that records how my world develops."

"Oh oh, then if you can bring it next time, I would be very grateful," Shanqing Daoist nodded with anticipation, then asked: "When will little friend leave, and when will you come next time?"

"Grandpa Shanqing, I'm leaving in a few minutes."

Lin Li looked at the system. After a long conversation, there was not much time left for him.

"However, no need to worry about this parting, because I should be back in an hour or two, and, I personally think, besides documentaries, I should be able to bring back many mechanical creations that will make you not so bored anymore."

Lin Li said to Shanqing Daoist with a smile.

【Leaving home young and returning old, after saying goodbye to the beautiful lady, there are no more acquaintances in reality, and he is a bit lonely and speechless. At this time, he met an old man who was also lonely and widowed. Whether out of empathy or the old man's legacy, why not let him have an old age worth remembering!】

【Task triggered!】

【Task 4: Make the lonely old man in front of you feel unforgettable interest and happiness.】

【Task reward: Physical improvement: Dao heart stability; random system-oriented props*1; system currency*100.】

This is the task popped up by the system after he said he could do it not long ago.

But in fact, whether there is this task or not, pleasing the person in front of you is absolutely not a wrong option.

Not to mention whether he can absorb spiritual energy well in this forbidden land, it all depends on Shanqing Daoist's thought.

Secondly, Shanqing Daoist is a great power in the cultivation world and is also a wisp of remnant soul.

Damn, Lin Li really wants to imprison this old man in his "Qiankun Ring".

He needs such a golden finger!

This is the standard configuration for a protagonist.

Such a great power must have very rich experience, and Lin Li's cultivation is completely messed up. The cultivation given by the system is not 'systematic', hitting here and there, Lin Li's attainments in all aspects are not high now.

It's enough in reality, but it's not enough in the cultivation world.

If Shanqing Daoist is willing to teach everything, the benefits he can get are unimaginable.

Now that there is a task, it just strengthens Lin Li's determination to do so.

And it just so happens that he is a lonely little old man now, the time when his psychological defense line is most fragile!

Anyone who has played gal knows that this is the best time to attack.

Just one mobile phone can make Shanqing Daoist so surprised.

The indicator for Task 4 is a progress bar, and now there is already a section of progress that is small but indeed visible, which means that Shanqing Daoist felt heartfelt happiness just by chatting with Lin Li about reality.

What about computers, games and movies on computers?

Anyway, trying it doesn't cost much, at most ten thousand yuan.

Shanqing Daoist was stunned upon hearing this, then nodded heavily: "Okay, little friend, then I will look forward to your return."

"No problem."

"I will never take your benefits for nothing. It can be seen that little friend, you are only at the beginning of the cultivation path, and you are just blind men touching an elephant now."

"No matter whether the things you bring next time make me feel interesting, just because of this intention, I will carefully guide you a little."

"Although I no longer have a physical body, my knowledge might have lagged behind the outside world for a hundred years, but just for your cultivation path in this world, it will definitely be of great benefit."

"Grandpa, I'm not aiming for this."

Lin Li waved his hand and said insincere words with a serious face.

Grandpa Niu, I'm aiming for this, aiming for this.

Shanqing Daoist smiled kindly and patted Lin Li on the shoulder:

"Of course I know, this is just a little thing I can do for you."

"Lin Li, when I noticed that you, a cultivator who is just at the beginning, have the wish power of ten thousand people praying for you, I knew that you must be a good person in your original world."

"How could a person like you cheat me for profit?"

Lin Li was stunned for a moment.

Huh? Am I not? Am I such a person?

"Wish power of ten thousand people praying?" Capturing the keyword, Lin Li was a bit puzzled, "Do I still have this thing on me?"

"Don't you know yourself?" Shanqing Daoist asked.

Lin Li shook his head: "I don't know how this came about."

Who is praying for him for no reason?

Wu Min? But Wu Min's words definitely can't be counted as ten thousand people.

Before Lin Li got the system, although he didn't do anything bad, he didn't do anything good either.

"Also, feel it carefully, you can feel it. Little friend, you don't know how to use this wish power yet, and a lot of it is about to dissipate, but this can prove that little friend has always been doing good things."

Shanqing Daoist's eyes looking at Lin Li became even more gratified:

"Little friend, don't move. Your situation is special. I need to analyze it carefully before I can help you see where this came from."

Shanqing Daoist reached out and placed it on Lin Li's shoulder, closing his eyes.

Lin Li, who was touched, immediately stared at the system. Once there was any discomfort, he would immediately click return. At worst, when he came back next time, he would explain to Shanqing Daoist that it was forced by divine ability.

But Shanqing Daoist should indeed have no malice. Lin Li almost didn't feel what he did to him.

For a long time, the remaining time was almost over, Shanqing Daoist opened his eyes, his face full of emotion:

"Lin Li, you are worthy of being a person from another world. The whole person is really covered with a thick layer of fog. Theoretically, with your cultivation, I should have seen everything clearly at a glance and deduced it eight or nine out of ten, but on you, I can see very little."

He believed Lin Li's statement even more now.

"Different worlds, it's normal that your strength can't be exerted, Grandpa Shanqing," Lin Li was actually more satisfied with this result, but he still said so on the surface.

"But fortunately, I am good at Dao arts, and my familiarity with wish power and prayer was once among the best in the world. Although I can't trace the location and time, I have analyzed the content of the wish power on you," Shanqing Daoist said later.

"What is it?" Lin Li asked curiously.

Shanqing Daoist smiled and gave the answer:

"'Thank you, OP, good people live in peace'."

"The prayer words of ten thousand people are almost the same, just slightly different. Little friend Lin Li, you must be the owner of a pavilion who does things for the people in the mortal world, good, very good."

Shanqing Daoist cast a gratified and encouraging look at Lin Li.

Lin Li: "(; o_o)?"

Eh? Wait?

?

What kind of prayer words are these.
