Chapter 112: Three Visits to the Thatched Cottage, Understanding the Changes of the Past and Present (Second Update)
"As expected, I got the Xuan Zhang! Unfortunately, it is an epic level, and it is not a wrestler path."

In the Taichu Volume's item column, a strange-looking, distorted mask-like [Xuan Zhang·Bloodline (Epic)] appeared.

Xu Shu touched his chin, thoughtfully.

It seems that the previous guess was not wrong.

As long as it is the legendary mode, whether it is [Create Legend] to create a new world and a new life; or [Continue Legend], continue the operation through beacons, the type of reward is Xuan Zhang.

It is conceivable that if you draw once, you will definitely be given a "title", and if you draw twice, you will be given a "marked altar".

The only problem is...

This continuation of the legend gave him too little room to perform, and he didn't do anything and it ended.

As a result, the item reward he received was only of the same rating as the second of his three fates, [Nine Phases of the Cursed Embryo (Epic)], and he was unable to obtain any additional legendary rewards.

In this legend, the truly actionable experience content is from the "recycling" time, yesterday night, then the whole day today, until 6 o'clock this afternoon - the time node when the number of Taichu volumes is fixed to be cleared.

“Looking back on the experience after the birth of the Beacon, from the moment I started to log in, it was completely synchronized with the real world. It was like I had played a whole day of VR games…”

"The experience before logging in will be shown to me in the old Legend mode, so it's not that I didn't participate. Wang Teng's participation is equivalent to my participation. After all, I am the parent company, he is my wholly-owned subsidiary, and I am the only legal shareholder..."

"But when I'm not on the account, Wang Teng seems to have retained some of my resentment before my death as his consciousness. Is it offline mode?"

“As a mature trumpet, you need to learn how to level up on your own!
"But it's not a big problem. I was just a little bit away from breaking through to the first level! Give me another day and I will definitely break through!
"Once I complete the first phase of the Nine Phases Diagram, I can realize 'night travel' and go out to cause trouble. With my skills, won't it be easy for me to get a heaven-defying evaluation?"

"Haha, I don't know what the second-level Xuanzhang of the legendary warrior will be called... Maybe it depends on my own performance."

Xu Shu pondered for a while, finally patted his butt and stood up from the ground.

There were a lot of ants crawling on the ground, surrounding the place where he had sat, a huge crowd.

Xu Shu discovered that they seemed to build a very small nest during the whole day?
Hiss...you're putting this thing under my butt? You dare to take advantage of me? I was wondering why my butt felt itchy like there were ants crawling on it, and there really were!

Surprised, Xu Shu looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he unzipped his trousers and urinated into the group of nesting ants, having been holding it for 12 hours - this was an old habit of Xu Shu's. After the urine came out, it was equivalent to Xu Shu not eating or drinking for a day, and he had also been holding in his pee and shit for a whole day. Just in time, this group of ants came up to him, and he released it on the spot.

As a supernatural being, even if he held it in for a whole day, his urine would still be very golden and translucent in color, which was very beautiful, and the smell was not bad.

After all, he is a transcendent being, and his urine is fragrant - thinking of this, Xu Shu seemed to be able to accept the fact that Wang Teng's mother had to squat in the toilet for half an hour.

“Shhh~~~Shhhh~~~”

As a huge stream of water fell from the sky, it quickly submerged Mai's small tide hole. The entire building slowly softened, and was eventually completely washed away in the wet mess.

The ants came out one after another, crawling around in panic. Some of them were washed away by the flood, while the others were barely clinging to the wet remains of the nest, trying to drill down, and were very anxious.

An effortless action from humans can be a disaster for tiny ants.

They didn't know what had happened because Xu Shu had already left.

He crossed the ridge of the field and met the platform under the moon, then took the mysterious tram to the North District, found a restaurant, and ate meat dishes worth five hundred yuan by himself.

I was really hungry, after all, I hadn't eaten or drunk anything for the whole day.

"Hoo~hiccup. Nice."

After having a good meal and a drink, Xu Shu first went back to his home at No. 83, Building 403, Xinyang Apartment, North District.

He asked the neighbor's aunt, but since no one had come today, Xu Shu knew that Gu Pan had not yet finished his business.

But he was not in a hurry.

I wanted to sleep at home at night, but there were several houses upstairs and downstairs shaking, even the neighbor's aunt who I just met was singing the Holy Lance Baptism Song in a humming voice.

Helplessly, Xu Shu had to stop happily browsing on his phone and went back to the foot of the northern city wall.

This time he learned his lesson and just rolled up his bedding.

Under the moonlight, next to Xu Shu was the city wall, and outside the city wall was the strange sea, and everything was peaceful.

The next morning, as soon as it was light, Xu Shu couldn't wait to open the Taichu Volume.

[The sun rises, everything...]

"Stop talking nonsense! Just open it and continue the legend!" Xu Shu poured his thoughts into the Taichu Scroll.

Today, I must break through the first of the nine phases of the cursed fetus and do something big to her!

[Your legend begins...]

[Legend Summary: You returned to the Dao Mark. On November 11, you followed your mother Xie Xiaochan to practice hard. You devoured nine-tenths of her erosion spell power, leaving only one-tenth for her. You were just a little bit away from learning the first phase of the Nine Phases Diagram: Prison Ox...]

Xu Shu fell rapidly, full of confidence and high morale.

…………

【You've been boxing all day.】

【Your legend has come to an end.】

“Review: You wake up from the legend, open your eyes and see your mother - she is sleeping.

"She was fast asleep in the teaching hall while listening to the teacher's lecture in the morning class.
"After lunch, while her fellow students were studying and copying the profound texts, she was fast asleep at the desk in the Sutra Library.
"In the afternoon, the sisters went to the market to buy monster materials to make talismans, and she found a cushion in Baicao Hall and fell asleep;
"After dinner, she came home and without washing herself, she fell headfirst onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

"You punched her in the stomach for a whole day, but your mother slept all day and didn't eat a single erosion crystal, so your cultivation didn't improve at all. You need more erosion crystals."

"You have obtained the Martial Artist Path Xuan Chapter: Sleeping Arhat (Flawless)"

11:21 pm on November st.

Xu Shu looked at the evaluation in front of him, and at the purple mysterious sign that was emitting purple air from the east and was making his eyes uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Suddenly, life has reached a crucial turning point!

After a while, Xu Shu couldn't help but urinate in the field first to fertilize some winter crops, and then he pushed his hips forward to open the upgraded network.

Open the private chat channel, select [Xie Xiaochan, the second-level seven-color Taoist nun], and send [private message]

-

"Good evening, have you made any progress in your cultivation these past two days? Your friend Gu Pan, the powerful warrior, is about to enter the second level. Things change over time. It won't be long before I can surpass you, and I will trample you under my feet." - Gu Pan.

"What are you talking about? Are you okay?" -Xie Xiaochan.

“????Speak!”——Xie Xiaochan.

"...Are you asking me for photos again?" - Xie Xiaochan.

"Hello!"——Xie Xiaochan.

"No, I just want to ask about my sister's health. How are you these days? I also want to ask you a question." - Gu Pan.

"Hahaha, you're so sweet, then go ahead and ask." - Xie Xiaochan.

"If you don't upgrade, you'll just sleep everywhere. How can you sleep at your age? Your quality is very poor! By the way, if you have a photo, please send me one." - Gu Pan.

"No? How do you know I was sleeping today?" - Xie Xiaochan
"Hello?" -Xie Xiaochan.

"Where are you?!" - Xie Xiaochan.

Inside the Nuxu Palace.

Xie Xiaochan was really confused when she saw the inexplicable conversation sent by Xu Shu in the chat.

really?
She was indeed very sleepy today and had been listless all day, but how did this guy know that?
Could it be that a senior sister nearby added him as a friend?

Is this guy going to post the private photos I gave him everywhere?

Damn it! Then my face will be...

For a moment, Xie Xiaochan looked at every senior sister around her and felt that they were all very suspicious, but everyone looked normal.

"It seems that it hasn't spread? I hope I'm just worrying too much."

"But, come to think of it, I did slack off today..."

Xie Xiaochan let out a breath.

-

Eastern Theater Command, the northern corner of the D8B3 safe zone.

Xu Shu closed the dialog box expressionlessly.

Really pissed off!

This time, the reward not only failed to reach the red legendary level, but it was reduced.

If it weren't for the three fates of the Dao Biao, the lowest of which, [Tian Xiang Dou Kou], was also at the flawless level, Xu Shu suspected that even an ordinary reward would be possible this time.

The reason for this, of course, is that Xie Xiaochan is incompetent as a mother.

With such a huge sect as your background, if you don't make good use of the sect's resources and work hard to upgrade, you'll just sleep at night and during the day, right?
"It's really abominable. If you continue like this, I will have to find another bride..."

This thought flashed through Xu Shu's mind.

A real man is born between heaven and earth, and should strive to be the best. How can he be depressed and stay below others for a long time? If Xie Xiaochan is so unmotivated and affects his own promotion plan, he can only make a decisive decision...

drop by drop...

The underwear shook. Xu Shu looked down and saw an additional prompt on the interface:
[Your friend Xie Xiaochan sent you a picture, which has been saved and can be viewed at any time. If you send it to others, your picture will be automatically deducted from your chat history. ]

[The other party left a message: Thank you for the reminder. ]

When I clicked on it, I saw a picture of Xie Xiaochan who had just finished washing up and was wearing a rather modern bathrobe.

Her usual twin ponytails were let down, and her slightly wet long hair just fell to her chest, revealing her shoulders slightly. It was a selfie taken at a very strange angle.

In fact, this photo does not reveal anything, but compared with the previous appearance, it has a different charm.

Xu Shu: “…”

In fact, if you think about it carefully, Xie Xiaochan is still a good mother. She is a second-level transcendent. Not only is her strength good, her combat capability is also good. She is also a true disciple of the Female Void Palace, and her status is even more impressive.

"Well, let's not change it for now, considering that she has come to the right path."

He coughed and closed the chat interface expressionlessly.

At night, he was still like a homeless person. After dinner, he ran to the north gate city wall closest to his home and slept under a big tree beside the field.

It is very quiet here. Xu Shu has gradually gotten used to it and finds it more comfortable to sleep here than in a hotel.

In the evening, I was browsing the world chat on the upgraded network and saw several messages about pioneering teams recruiting around the local border. One team wanted a third-level butcher, and the other team needed a second-level sentinel.

None are suitable.

Xu Shu was not in a hurry either. He was in a safe zone, so there was no need to be so nervous.

The next day, Xu Shu opened the Taichu Volume again.

This time, as long as Xie Xiaochan devours the erosion crystals and practices well,

Xu Shu could definitely break through the first phase of the Nine Phases Diagram in one fell swoop.

Absolutely sure!

[Your legend begins: ...]

【Legend Summary: ……】

[On November 11, your mother Xie Xiaochan worked hard to improve herself. Perhaps your reminder yesterday made her face herself.]

[After a night of meditation, she has adjusted her physical and mental state to perfection, and has a sense of enlightenment. She begins to devour the erosion crystals to nourish her second-level curse seal.]

[You looked at the overwhelming curse power coming in front of you. You were very friendly this time. You only intercepted 30%! Of course, 70% belonged to the cursed fetus Wang Teng, and only 30% was hers. You started punching.]

[From morning till night, Xie Xiaochan has been practicing hard all day, and you, you have been practicing boxing all day, and your strength has improved by a hundred feet. You have already reached the level of completely understanding the 'Prison Ox', but you still need a little trigger to fully achieve it! ]

[Your current Prison Ox Phase cultivation completion rate: 99.9999…%]

[You obtain the Mysterious Chapter: Bloodline (Epic)]

…………

"?"

No, just a little bit off, right?

Are you also going to get chopped by pdd?

Xu Shu looked up at the moon rising, and saw [Bloodline (Epic)]*2 in the prop column. Ants were crawling in his heart.

wrong.

Something is wrong!
"Excluding the possibility that Taichujuan was deliberately making fun of me, the only possible reason is that some necessary conditions are missing."

Xu Shu took out the [Bloodline] from the prop column. It was a spiral thing that looked like an animal's small intestine and felt warm to the touch. It was the mysterious chapter of the "Martial Artist" path.

And this time, Xie Xiaochan did not have any problems.

Since the Nine Phase Diagram itself can produce epic Xuan Chapter rewards, it naturally doesn't seem to have any problems.

So, what went wrong?
Xu Shu's eyes fell on Xuan Zhang·Bloodline, and he recalled that in the first "Continuation of the Legend", it was mentioned that "In order to restore your strength, in addition to constantly practicing and absorbing the eroding spell power, you also need to obtain the corresponding spell seal. 】

His eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Could it be this reason?"

"Oh my god, I get it. Now the curse seals used in the Nine Phase Diagram cannot be cultivated by oneself. They must be integrated from the outside world!"

Xu Shu reacted and realized that this was not a joke and that he really needed to "obtain the curse seal."

In Xu Shu's first legendary event, when he was practicing "Old Nine Phase Diagram", he mastered the first phase, Prison Ox Phase, and obtained the level of martial arts apprentice.

A martial artist is equivalent to a first-level martial artist.

Up to here, no problem!

The problem lies in that in ancient times, there was no such thing as a "containment seal" in cultivation.

But now, there must be a step to contain the curse!

Once Wang Teng learns the Prison Ox Phase, he will be able to recover to the strength of a first-level transcendent.

However, there was no containment seal, so it got stuck at the last minute - blocked by the rules.

"I see!"

"So this curse seal needs to be provided to Wang Teng from outside, and it can't be cultivated directly by practicing the Nine Phases Diagram! Speechless."

Xu Shu understood everything completely and couldn't help but roll his eyes. Taichujuan's reminder was too vague and general, and was misleading.

However, Xu Shu himself was also responsible this time. This is called "being misled by one's own mature experience." He was too clever for his own good.

In the first legend, in ancient times, he practiced boxing in his mother's womb and cultivated the nine phases of the cursed fetus. He was able to generate his own strength and upgrade directly. In fact, it was equivalent to a human extraordinary being able to generate a curse through his own practice.

He was still practicing the "Nine Phases Diagram" this time, so his subconscious mind would apply this set of rules.

But I forgot, now it’s different!

The rules of the world have changed. If you want to upgrade, you must follow the rules of [Curse Sealing] and follow the extraordinary sequence honestly.

The curse seal cannot be produced through practice, it must be obtained from the outside and incorporated into the body through the "containment method"!

Things are different now than in the past. The world has changed a lot. The nature of the power system is completely different. The source of all power is related to erosion!

The reason, of course, is the catastrophe.

Xu Shu knew that it was because the real world was affected by the "Great Cataclysm" that made this strange doomsday environment difficult to control, which led to the appearance of so many strange monsters in the world, causing the current human beings to be trapped in the wall and barely survive.

And now, after these three continuations of the legend, he knew that the impact of the "Great Cataclysm" was far more than just destroying the previous civilized technological society.

"So, the past cultivation methods in ancient times, the medieval times, and even in modern times have all been overturned after the catastrophe." Xu Shu marveled.

And the time is at the point of great disaster.

When Xu Shu realized this, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

“No wonder my son Wang Teng was still half a step into the Vajra Realm when he appeared in the ruins; but when he arrived in the real world, he had no strength left.

“It’s all because of this catastrophe, it’s so abominable.

"Otherwise, I would be backed by a top expert on the Earth Ranking. I would be able to ascend to the top in one step. Why should I be so cautious as I am now?"

"Well, don't be too greedy. This is enough."

"Then, if I want to improve Wang Teng's realm and obtain the legendary Xuanzhang, I have to make the [Bloodline Curse Seal] first, and send it to Xie Xiaochan, so that she can contain it through Wang Teng in her body. Only in this way can I make a further step."

"Fortunately, I am back in the safe zone now. It is different from the precarious situation in the wasteland. Just like a bird flying in the sky and a fish entering the sea, I am no longer bound and have plenty of time to develop."

"Hey, but after all the twists and turns, I still have to upgrade first, and I still have to go out of the city to take risks! Strength is indeed the foundation of all things."

Xu Shu looked at the [Bloodline]*2 in the prop column, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

To be honest, why did the Taichu Volume keep giving him the mysterious seal of the Nine Phases Diagram, and why did it seem like it had been waiting for him here for such a long time?

"I wrongly blamed you..."

"But I still have to blame you. Who made you so rigid that you didn't even give me any hints for such crucial information? I had to figure it out on my own."

Xu Shu gently stroked the Taichu Volume and closed the illusory ancient book that did not trigger the key dialogue.

——Unless it encounters a critical point that triggers a conversation, or unless it is in a situation where it is about to die and causes discouraging words, the Taichu Volume will not make any movement.

Then, Xu Shu walked slowly from the northern corner of (2, 10) to (2, 8) where the apartment was located.

"It has been four days since I returned to the safe zone. I believe Gu Pan should have prepared my enrollment certificate and 200 million in cash, right?"

"Come to think of it, today is Saturday."

"It's already evening, the school must be over. It's just a weekend, they should be back."

Xu Shu looked towards his home and a warm smile appeared on his lips.

I return home after trampling over the ridges of the fields and returning under the stars.

There should be someone waiting at home at this time.
