I played the world alone

Chapter 384 Old thing (two in one)

The sudden sound startled Lu Chen.

He had just focused all his attention on the formation in front of him, and he didn't notice a stranger appearing behind him.

Although normally even if he didn't pay attention, most people wouldn't be able to notice him at all, but when he turned back to look at the person coming, he would know the reason.

Astonishingly, it was a Nascent Soul who was similar in stature to him!
However, unlike his current solid state, the opponent's Nascent Soul looks smaller and more illusory and transparent, as if it will break at any time.

Seeing the other party, Lu Chen immediately remembered that there was indeed another Nascent Soul in Fuxian City.

However, it was said that he had already been in seclusion for cultivation due to serious injuries. There were even rumors that he was dead but for the sake of the overall situation, the city lord hid the news.

Now it seems that those news are indeed false. Isn't this senior in the Nascent Soul stage just fine in front of him?

But this makes him a little embarrassed.

Originally, he thought that no one in the city could threaten him, so he acted more casually, and even studied other people's formations openly.

As a result, his master immediately came out to stop him, which made him feel guilty as if he had been caught as a thief.

But even though he feels guilty, he still has the proper demeanor.

Lu Chen cupped his hands and bowed slightly: "I have met fellow Taoist. I came here for the first time and didn't know the situation here, so I broke in here by mistake. Please forgive me if I have offended you. I will leave now."

Although it seemed that the opponent was not in good condition and was definitely not his opponent, he did not intend to fight with the opponent, and there was no need.

But just when he was about to leave, the Nascent Soul suddenly said again: "Since Taoist friend is here, why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, and then heard the other party continue: "The world is in a rough and turbulent world now. Maybe you won't be able to see me when my fellow Taoist comes again next time."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and stopped flying away.

Immediately, he saw the other party waving his hand, and the formation on the surface of the archives room automatically opened.

He followed the other party and flew in, and also saw the situation inside the archives room.

The first thing you see is rows of bookshelves, but there are not many in total. There are probably five or six rows on each floor, and the bookshelves in each row are not full of books.

If all the books in the library are ordinary books suitable for public reading, and anyone can just pick one up and read it, then all the books here are processed in various ways, and even special materials with special seals are specially sealed.

The carriers of the information include books, jade slips, scrolls, and he even saw a hard disk. To be more precise, it was an ancient floppy disk. It was large in size but contained very little content.

Because this old man was leading him, Lu Chen did not release his consciousness at will to test the contents.But I guess they are probably some secrets that cannot be accessed casually.

Surprisingly, there are also some dedicated security personnel here.

And they are all ordinary people who have never practiced cultivation!

They wear normal uniforms and carry guns and stun devices, just like normal security guards.

However, Lu Chen also noticed that they also wore a special jade pendant close to their bodies.

There is a special prohibition printed on it. Although it is not clear what the specific purpose is, it is estimated that when triggered, it will attract the attention of high-level people.

However, the entry of the two men did not attract their attention at this moment.

Flying all the way to the third floor.

There is also a dedicated small attic on the roof.

Here, the other party specially made him a pot of tea.

"Have a drink and see."

Lu Chen was a little strange.

You must know that both parties are in the state of Nascent Soul, so food should not be eaten.Just seeing the other party's skillful movements made him smart not to ask questions rashly.

Sure enough, the other party immediately continued: "This thing is brewed with special spiritual fruits. It looks like tea but is actually high-concentration spiritual energy. It also contains some special charm. For those of us who are in the Nascent Soul stage, Things also have a lot of benefits.”

old stuff...

Lu Chen, who was not yet 30 years old, complained softly in his heart. He immediately picked up the tea cup, felt it carefully first, and drank it down after confirming that there was no danger.

After entering the mouth, a spiritual energy rushes through the body, and the most important thing is that the taste is not bad, a bit like the taste of some kind of fruit wine.

"It tastes good." He nodded slightly.

The other party chuckled, poured himself a cup and tasted it carefully, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, an old friend gave me this thing back then. He said he planted it himself and brewed it. No one in the world can copy it."

"It's a pity that I can't drink it anymore."

The tone was full of sadness, and you could probably guess what happened without saying anything.

"Fellow Taoist, it shouldn't have been long since the retreat ended, right?" the other party suddenly asked.

Lu Chen was startled, thought for a moment and then nodded.

"I think so. I don't see any injuries on my fellow Taoist. The Yuan Ying stage people still alive in the world should be like me. I'm afraid they won't last long."

The other person said with a smile.

He was clearly talking about the fact that he might not die soon, but he didn't feel any despair or regret.

"Although I don't know what method fellow Taoist used to escape that disaster, I still congratulate fellow Taoist."

"Before this, I probably wanted to know what happened back then..."

The other party came slowly and explained what happened that year.

It is basically the same as what I learned before, but there is definitely more to know in the Nascent Soul stage than in the Qi training stage, and there is more inside information.

For example, not all those in the Nascent Soul Stage volunteered to fight against the evil beasts.

There are many people who have been in seclusion and have no idea what is going on outside. There are also many people who feel there is some danger and excuse themselves not to go.

But one day, everyone in the Nascent Soul Stage suddenly felt a fatal danger.

It was as if an invisible sickle had sliced ​​through their necks.

They were unable to resist or even evade. Any protective weapon or armor seemed to be non-existent in front of them, and was directly torn apart without any defensive effect.

And they didn't even know where the attack came from or what it looked like.

In just that moment, those who react slowly may even die on the spot and their souls will be extinguished. Even those who react quickly may be seriously injured, such as the one in front of me.

"The serious injury at that time has not improved even after more than 20 years, and it is even getting worse. If my guess is correct, my body probably won't last long." The old man sighed softly.

"Later, a group of people who still survived and still had fighting ability realized that killing them at the neck was not an option, so they decided to take all the magic weapons together and go to the place where the hand in hand appeared to check. However, most of them never came back..."

"I was seriously injured and could not go, but unexpectedly I escaped." The other party slowly told the story of the past 20 years, such as the city's gradual decline, the monks constantly trying to resist but still losing ground. , and in the end can only hide in these small circles...

Lu Chen listened quietly, his understanding of the world increasing.

It actually saved him a lot of effort in exploring it himself.

In addition, he also raised his own question: "Does fellow Taoist know about ascension?"

"Ascension..." The old man nodded slightly and shook his head, "It turns out that one of my uncles is also an ascender."

"When he was still in this world, he once said that when he reaches the upper world, he will definitely send a message down to tell us the beauty of the immortal world so that we can practice more diligently and reunite with him as soon as possible."

"However, like all those who ascended to the upper world, my uncle never returned and did not pass on any news."

He paused and said slowly: "We even had a terrifying guess later."

"Could it be that the so-called fairy world doesn't exist at all, and we are just livestock being raised. When we are fattened and our cultivation is strong, we will be picked up and slaughtered..."

This can probably be regarded as a very classic conspiracy theory.

After all, in the past so many years, so many ascended people have not come back, so it is inevitable that there will be some worry and fear.

Although Lu Chen didn't know the truth, he thought it shouldn't be the case.

Because he has a small world himself and knows how precious it is.

What the owner needs is to evolve this world into a real world, so that the benefits will be greatest, and he can even make his aura infinite and become a real creation god!
If we just need a breeding farm, where can we not build one?

"As far as I know, ascension should be real, and the fairy world should also exist. There should be other reasons why they can't come back..."

Lu Chen said a few words briefly, but the other party didn't seem to take them too seriously and just nodded slightly: "I hope so."

Then the other party didn't seem to want to talk more about this issue, and quickly changed the topic back to the main topic.

"Now that we have finally built this formation to protect the city, we have lived a stable life for a few years. In the past few days, the evil beasts outside are ready to move again."

"This movement is very similar to a wave of attacks more than ten years ago, which gives me a bad premonition. If this formation is broken by then, the entire city may be destroyed..."

Lu Chen lowered his eyelids and gently sipped the tea in his hand so that the other party could not tell what he was thinking.

The other party didn't seem to want to delve deeper into anything, and continued to talk leisurely.

……

"Senior, what did you do just now? It's a pity that you didn't see me killing everyone."

Bai Yangping, who was sweating profusely after just practicing with others, saw the old man flying back slowly. He was excited but carefully lowered his voice and asked curiously.

"Nothing, just going for a walk."

Of course, Lu Chen would not directly say that he had just met the real ruler here.

"How was the training result?"

"It's okay, but it's still not enjoyable enough." Bai Yangping wiped his sweat, "It's okay to practice fists and kicks like this, but if we really want to fight, I think we still need to use evil beasts as our opponents."

"Most of the people here have never really fought against evil beasts. Their moves are just the same as those taught in school. Friendship comes first and competition comes second. It has no meaning at all."

He curled his lips in disgust.

"When it comes to the battlefield, these textbook tricks will be useless."

Lu Chen believed what he said, because it could be seen from the angry and slightly frightened looks cast by the people around him that he had fought with him from time to time. Unlike others, this boy was really ruthless.

I’m really not afraid of being isolated!

But it would be nice to have such a catfish among these good children, it can add some vitality.

Lu Chen said meaningfully: "Come on and practice. It's better to suffer a little now than to lose your life later."

Maybe not many people here know that a storm is coming outside Fuxian City.

As for what the old man said when he suddenly found himself, although he didn't say it clearly, Lu Chen could probably guess what he meant.

I want to give myself a helping hand at a certain moment of crisis and save the building from collapse!
Lu Chen naturally had his own considerations about this.

He couldn't possibly put all his wealth and life here. If the fatal danger of harvesting all the Nascent Soul stages really emerged, he would definitely run away on the spot and promise never to come to this small world again.

As for tasks and such, is your own life important?
"So we still have to decide based on the situation..."

He let out a breath. Although he didn't agree, he felt an inexplicable sense of responsibility on his shoulders.

Of course, in addition to this, this trip was not just about chatting, he also got special secrets for cultivating monsters from the other party.

Perhaps it was also because he felt guilty, so the other party didn't ask any more questions and just gave it to him when he knew he wanted it. Of course, this unimportant reason cannot be ruled out. After all, there are no wild monsters anymore.

After nightfall, Lu Chen returned to the real world, took out this set of secret books, and looked at them carefully.

The carrier is not the books or jade slips commonly used by humans, but a special book that is suspected to be made from the skin and tendons of some high-level monster.

After thousands of years, it still has not been damaged at all. The colors and words on it are clearly visible, as if they had just been written on it.

The texture to the touch is also very smooth and somewhat tough. I wonder what kind of monster it is based on.

The above text is common to Chinese, but it does not cause reading obstacles, which is very convenient.

After reading it completely, he closed his eyes and ran through all the contents in his mind. Lu Chen roughly understood the whole process.

"I didn't expect it to be quite a coincidence..."

The corners of his mouth curled into a smile.

I made a mistake when I was helping the monster beast transform before, and I really got it right!
But that's not entirely correct, because what he did was too barbaric and rough. The transformation of a regular monster must be more complex and detailed, and special techniques must be used to comb the meridians and regulate the flesh and blood.

Using this method to transform, the success rate will probably be more than ten times higher than the current one.

Moreover, monsters that are not physical creatures can also take shape and are no longer restricted.

Of course, the only constant is probably the pain.

After all, they all abandon their original bodies and pursue the human form that is most suitable for cultivating Taoism.

As for the specific effect of this thing, Lu Chen thought about it and decided to find a test product.

"Lu Wangcai!"
