Ten thousand I am across the heavens

"Oh? Is there anything you need help with?" Bai Shiqian had just harvested a large amount of precious materials and was in a good mood. Even though he was facing an ordinary person, he still had some patience.

"I want to try to open my mind. I can pay for this ceremony with Yuanshi. I am unwilling to be an ordinary person for the rest of my life."

"I see. This is a small matter. You and I will go back to the clan together tomorrow. Give me ten Yuanshi and I will help you get it done."

Becoming a Gu Master requires qualifications. In an environment filled with Hope Gu, one can open up their mind. Different qualifications correspond to different levels of difficulty in cultivation. Qualifications are usually divided into A, B, C, D, and the worst is no qualifications.

More than half of the people can actually obtain qualifications above the Ding level, but not everyone has the opportunity to open their minds, and not everyone can be trained. The mountainous area where the Baijia is located adopts the family system for governance.

The resources required for cultivation are huge, but the total amount of resources in this area is limited. The Hundred Families will give priority to cultivating members of their own families, and even within their own families, they will give priority to cultivating those with better qualifications.

In this case, those villagers who are not from the original family and live in the mountains often do not even have the chance to open their minds once in their lifetime, because even if they have the qualifications to practice, the family will not spend resources to train an outsider.

But if you pay your own money and use connections to get it done, it's obviously not that difficult.

The money of 100,000 yuan was actually quite expensive, and he could get a lot of kickbacks from it. But Lan Nuo didn't care much. With his ability, it was not difficult to catch wild beasts. What's more, he had a Gu worm in his hand. Even if it was the worst Gu worm, it was worth at least 200 Yuanshi. So he gave the money to the other party without hesitation.

The next day, they set off for the family residence on the mountain. The Baijia village was built on a dangerous mountain, and a tall wall stood in the dangerous area.

These walls are not for defense. Ordinary people outside the family have no ability to attack them. The walls are more for defense against beast tides. This world not only has the King of Hundred Beasts, but also the King of Thousand Beasts and even the King of Ten Thousand Beasts. They often act in groups to launch beast tides and attack human settlements. At this time, family members need to form bonds and defend themselves.

Following Bai Shi Qian, Lan Nuo successfully arrived at the mountain village, where he could finally see some of the prosperity of a city. The architectural style was similar to the pavilions and towers of ancient China. Because the land was vast and sparsely populated, there were not many high-rise buildings. The number of Gu Masters in the town was much greater than outside. Ordinary people here were basically engaged in the service industry. The greatest significance of their living in the city was to provide services to the Gu Masters here.

After Lan Nuo entered the town, he was arranged to stay in an inn. For the next two days, Bai Shiqian seemed to have forgotten him and let him stay in the city. Lan Nuo was not in a hurry. He still had a lot of money, so he wandered around the city and collected information.

While strolling around, he saw a variety of poisonous insects and their various abilities.

Some poisonous insects can provide lighting and serve as street lamps, while others can be used to convey and record information. A lot of valuable information is recorded on these poisonous insects.

In addition, there are some more precious ones that can be used to store items, similar to space rings.

With the help of these poisonous insects, although this place looks like an ancient society, in fact, the productivity is not low at all. Some poison masters also do some physical labor to supplement their family income, and their strength is often greater than that of ordinary people. On the one hand, their living environment is better and their physical fitness is stronger. On the other hand, some poisonous insects have the effect of enhancing the strength of the human body.

During the observation, Lan Nuo also noticed that among ordinary people, there seemed to be some people with physical fitness far beyond that of ordinary people. However, these people were often members of the family. Although they were not slaves, they had signed a very harsh contract with the Bai family. These people had a significantly higher status in the town, and they also performed the most basic task of maintaining public order. With their physical fitness beyond that of ordinary people, they could easily maintain order in the town. After two days of observation, Bai Shiqian seemed to have finally remembered Lan Nuo, so he sent someone to take him to the family residence. It was a dark cave. Deep in the cave was a pool of water. In the pool were flying hope Gu like fireflies. This was the place where the mind was awakened.

It is hoped that the Gu will fly into the human body and form the most basic empty cavity. Only with the empty cavity can one practice.

The one who brought Lan Nuo here was a first-level Gu Master, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. He had an impatient look on his face, and it was obvious that he was forced to do this task by his elders.

"Hurry up and go down. Just sit in the pool of water. The longer you can stay conscious, the better your aptitude.

But don't expect too much. Nearly half of the people have no qualifications to practice. Even if they have the qualifications, it consumes a lot of resources. If you don't join the family, you can only stay at the first level for your whole life."

Lan Nuo nodded and did not refute, but walked into the pool. Different regions have different ways of opening their minds, but the effects are the same.

After he walked into the pool, he felt drowsy and his mind began to blur. This feeling of drowsiness could not be overcome by willpower. It was like being anesthetized. He could not regain control of his body by willpower alone.

Lan Nuo tried to maintain his consciousness, and then he saw the firefly-like hope Gu around him slowly gathering into his body, and a perceptible hole was vaguely formed in his abdomen.

As more and more hope Gu gathered on his body, the hollow cavity began to become thicker and thicker, and it could hold more true essence.

But this process did not last long. Lan Nuo's consciousness had completely fallen into a coma. When he woke up, he was already carried ashore, all wet.

"The capacity of your empty orifices is 35%, and you have Grade C qualifications. You are lucky. In the family's awakening ceremony, only one-third of the people have higher qualifications than this. Are you interested in joining the family and becoming an outsider?" Lan Nuo found that the attitude of the young man next to him was obviously better than before. Although Grade C qualifications are not very rare, with only one in three or four people emerging, they are still worth cultivating.

"Hmm... Let me think about it for a few days. I still have some Yuanshi in my hand, and hunting can also provide some subsidies, which may be able to support my cultivation."

The young Gu Master sneered upon hearing this: "Okay, then I wish you success!"
