Why do we say that ordinary heroic spirits are arbitrary for eternity?

Chapter 1 Ordinary-Level Heroic Spirits: Refugees Starving to Death
  In April of summer, there was a severe drought and locusts spread across seven states.

……

Since the first year of Jianning, natural disasters have continued in various places.

Earthquakes, plagues of locusts, plagues of borers, hail, floods, plagues, and severe droughts.

A few words in the history books are like a big mountain when they fall on the heads of ordinary people in Guizhou.

On a dry river bed, a group of refugees moved forward numbly.

The migratory locusts that filled the sky a few days ago have already eaten up all the crops in the fields.

The people who couldn't survive began to peel off the bark of trees for food, even the leaves of elm and willow trees.

Whether they were private or official trees, large or small, all were stripped clean, leaving only pale trunks standing in the field.

There was no green at all in the countryside, and every plant, no matter poisonous or not, was eaten up.

The victims were waiting on the land, waiting for something to grow. As soon as any grass sprouts appeared, they would be dug up and devoured immediately.

When there was only loess left on the surface, people began to go underground and dig out grass roots.

After they couldn't even dig out the grass roots, some people started eating Guanyin soil and red stone noodles.

But once you eat these things, you are basically waiting to die.

So people with a little more sense began to flee, looking for a way out along the dry riverbed.

At this moment, among this group of refugees, there was a thin young man, stumbling and struggling to move forward.

In the past month, Lu Yu's food was either bark grass roots or dogtail grass.

In recent days, I haven't even eaten these things.

If this continues, he may starve to death.

In the evening, when food had not yet been found, many refugees looked at each other, especially those who were alone, which attracted even more attention.

At this time, several pairs of salivating eyes were staring at Lu Yu.

Lu Yu sneered, pulled out a hatchet, and held it tightly in his hand.

Even if he is about to starve to death, with his fierceness, he will take away a few people who have his own ideas!

The rusty hatchet has only its edge sharpened.

During these days of fleeing, Lu Yu had been targeted by many people, and this hatchet had already seen blood.

As long as someone dares to come over at this moment, no matter what the other person says, he will chop it down without hesitation!

When those people saw it, they quickly looked away, and no one came over to talk to him without hesitation.

Lu Yu also thought about acting alone, but there were too many people fleeing the famine. No matter where he went, he would encounter people fleeing the famine.

Soon, it got darker again. Lu Yu picked up some grass and dead branches to make a fire, and then boiled some water.

This water was dug out of the semi-dry river bed yesterday. Even if it is simply filtered, it is still turbid. It is definitely not good to drink it directly. It will not be a problem if you boil it and drink it.

While the water was boiling, screams could be heard intermittently from all around.

Lu Yu subconsciously picked up the hatchet, but put it down anyway.

He didn't want to meddle.

It's not that he doesn't dare to act righteously, it's really meaningless.

Along the way, he has seen too many tragedies.

There are people who change their children to eat each other, there are parents who eat their children, there are children who eat their parents, there are couples, brothers, friends, and neighbors who eat each other!
  Even if he tried his best to save a few people at this moment, would they be able to survive?

Wouldn't it be better to starve to death...

It’s not these crazy people who are wrong, it’s the world that forced them into what they are now.

The dead branches burned, making a crackling sound. After a while, there was a "gurgling" sound again, and the water boiled.

After the water cooled down a little, Lu Yu drank some hot water and felt a little better. Then he found a comfortable position and lay on the ground.

Looking at the dazzling stars and the splendid Milky Way, Lu Yu felt a little distracted for a moment.

It's really hard to live again, only to die like this. It's really unacceptable.

in a trance.

He saw a girl in a white dress.

The girl's thick eyelashes were trembling slightly, and her eyes as smart as water were staring nervously at a book on the desk.

The name of the book is - "Book of Contracting Spirits".

"This is the third time I have performed the spirit contracting ceremony. If I still can't perform the contract, I will never be able to contract again..."

"This is my last chance!"

"We will definitely succeed this time!"

"I can definitely become a spiritual master!"

The girl bit her silver teeth lightly to cheer herself up. Soon, the ceremony began.

The girl placed her hand on the spirit-contracting technique, her expression serious, her red lips slightly parted:
  "I am Bai Yuyao, the eldest daughter of the patriarch of the Bai family in Qingzhou."

"There are a total of seventeen powerful masters in our clan."

"The Supreme Ancestor was once a half-step saint."

"I am here to pray to the Hall of Valor."

"I hope there are heroic spirits to protect me, help me practice, and accompany me to achieve enlightenment."

"I hereby solemnly swear—"

"My destiny is with your soul, and I will never abandon it. On the path of practice and practice, you should slay demons and destroy all evil in the world."

"If you agree with my will, please respond to me, sign a contract with me, and come here!"

As a set of contract words was read out completely, there was no sign of any heroic spirit appearing.

Seeing this, the girl suddenly looked a little disappointed: "Isn't it still possible?"

Today is the age of spiritual control. People sign contracts with heroic spirits from ancient times, become spiritual masters, and then embark on the path of spiritual practice.

The girl's name is Bai Yuyao. As stated in the contract just now, she was born into a prominent family of warriors.

There are seventeen powerful Guangzong masters in the family.

The Supreme Ancestor was once a half-step saint!
  For the vast majority of ordinary people, the probability of summoning a heroic spirit and becoming a spiritual master is only about one in ten thousand.

But for Bai Yuyao, who comes from a famous family, most of her peers who are similar to her are contracted with heroic spirits.

And it is either a heroic spirit or a heroic spirit.

only her.

The contract words were changed three times.

This time, the clan backstage was directly revealed, but it still failed to elicit a response from the heroic spirits.

If you can't succeed this time, then there will be basically no possibility of becoming a spiritual master in the future.

As the eldest princess of the Bai family in Qingzhou, she is unable to become a spiritual master. This may be a stain on her life.

Just when Bai Yuyao was secretly disappointed.

On the Book of Contract Spirits, traces of light slowly emerged.

"It's done?!"

Bai Yuyao was stunned and couldn't help but widen her eyes, filled with ecstasy.

How refreshing it feels to suddenly go from hell to heaven!
  However, as the vision completely manifested, Bai Yuyao's eyes widened again!

A young man in ragged clothes, unkempt hair, and skinny bones slowly appeared in her sight.

At the same time, information about this heroic spirit also appeared in Bai Yuyao's mind.

[Heroic Spirit: Lu Yu. 】

[Level: Ordinary. 】

【Name: none】

[Basic information: At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a refugee died of starvation on the way to escape famine. 】

Seeing this information, Bai Yuyao couldn't help but widen her eyes. She never imagined that she would actually 'win'!

As we all know, the levels of heroic spirits are roughly five levels: warrior, hero, hero, legend, and myth.

And above these five levels, there are also the legendary "Holy Spirit" level heroes.

It can be said that the "Holy Spirit" level heroic spirit is much rarer than the myth level.

It’s really one in a billion!

As rare as the "Holy Spirit" level heroic spirits, there are also "ordinary" level heroic spirits!

The so-called "ordinary" level heroic spirits are weak existences that are not even as good as the warrior level.

They are not qualified to become heroic spirits, they are just small figures who have been lost in the long history.

It was just because of some fate that I was lucky enough to become a Heroic Spirit.

This type of heroic spirit is extremely weak and difficult to provide much help to the master, and often even hinders the master.

Contracted with an ordinary-level heroic spirit... If this kind of thing spreads, I'm afraid it will be even more of a joke than not being able to become a spiritual master!
  At that time, she would definitely become a joke in the martial arts family circle! Even his own father would be ashamed! !
  Thinking of this, Bai Yuyao felt bitter in her mouth, but looking at the refugee young man in front of her, she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, and she couldn't say anything to complain.

It's so pitiful that someone about the same age as me starved to death on the way to escape.

They all appeared as heroic spirits, with this blank expression...

Bai Yuyao picked up a piece of strawberry cake next to her that she was going to eat, and asked curiously: "Can you eat this?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Yuyao took out another high-quality spiritual stone and continued to ask: "Then, what about this one?"
