Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Immortal Opportunity (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections)
Qingshan Town, Bai Ren Hall
In the late evening, the great sun reluctantly cast its last rays, and the sunset glow filled half the sky.
At the second-floor window of Bai Ren Hall.
A youth dressed in coarse cloth, with a somewhat sallow complexion but a rather handsome appearance, looking only thirteen or fourteen years old, quietly gazed at the sunset glow in the sky.
The youth's lips moved slightly, but his voice was barely audible as he murmured to himself.
"It's been three years! It's been exactly three years since I came to this world! Only now have I discovered that there are cultivators in this world!
In the past, I paid no attention or concern to these rumors.
I thought they were just some tricks used by swindlers.
I was careless... Fortunately, I didn't miss this Immortal Opportunity!"
Cheng Bu Zheng turned around and looked at the familiar room.
Although the room only had simple furniture, a bed, and a set of table and chairs, he had been living there for over a year.
At this moment, he stared blankly at the familiar room, lost in thought.
He was originally just a low-level programmer on Earth, enjoying the '996' blessing, and was hit by a speeding white SUV while returning home late at night after overtime, feeling a full-body pain, and finally the sensation of flying through the air before losing consciousness!
When he woke up again, he found that he had occupied this young body.
After roughly reviewing the memories of this body, he knew that he had Transmigrated and Reborn into another world.
He originally thought it was an ancient world and was ready to make a big splash and live a life above others, but reality gave him a resounding slap.
Three years ago.
Having just Reincarnated, he faced his unfamiliar parents, but he didn't know how to address them and planned to quietly be an unnoticed presence.
However, things are unpredictable.
In just a few hours, his parents in this life discovered something was wrong, which made them anxious and prepared to spend their meager savings to invite a shaman to perform an exorcism.
In his parents' eyes, if there was nothing wrong with his body, then there was only one possibility: he had encountered something unclean.
As his parents were pooling money and discussing inviting the shaman, he finally couldn't hold back; he couldn't be a quiet, unnoticed presence.
He knew that the family's meager savings were intended for his elder brother's marriage, and they were the old couple's hope.
Subsequently, he found an excuse to explain to his parents, and then silently imitated his previous living habits, as if nothing had changed in the family, just like before.
At that time, he was just a young child and couldn't help the family at all, nor did he want to waste the family's savings on meaningless things.
It was precisely when the family was about to take out all their savings to treat him.
Although he prevented the shaman from being invited, that warm family affection completely moved him.
Over time, he gradually accepted his parents in this life.
In this world, he had parents above him, an elder brother and a younger sister, and he was the second child; the youth initially had no formal name, only a nickname, a humble name 'Er Gou'.
His father was a rather simple and honest person, commonly known as someone who wouldn't even let out a fart when hit with a stick, and was called Cheng Hanzi in the village, but he was extremely loving towards his children, a fact he remembered particularly clearly.
Half a year after his soul Transmigrated to this world.
During an incident where his elder brother heroically saved a maiden, his elder brother was beaten black and blue by a youth from a neighboring village, and his father went to their house to reason.
As a result, they were unwilling to back down and looked down on 'Cheng Hanzi' from the neighboring village.
And that father, who had always been called 'Cheng Hanzi', his strong paternal love made the honest man rarely get angry, and it was his first time fighting with someone.
As expected, he was beaten black and blue.
The father and son, with two pairs of black eyes, one in front and one behind, bruised and swollen, returned home in silence.
After all.
A father who had never fought since childhood, plus an elder brother who also couldn't fight, still couldn't beat them, let alone when they went to their village.
Villagers in the same village are very united; otherwise, they would definitely be bullied by united villages, and villagers always help their kin, not necessarily what's right.
After arriving home, his somewhat fiery mother, seeing the two pairs of black eyes, one big and one small, became even more furious and cursed at his father.
Then, regardless of everything, she went directly to the neighboring village to curse, cursing for a full three days, and the other party's parents were not skilled in this Dao, ultimately suffering a miserable defeat.
From this, it can be seen what position his mother held in the family.
His elder brother's name was Da Gou, his personality inherited from his father, rather simple and honest, a very upright person.
Counting his age, he should be sixteen now, roughly at the age for marriage; with the family's income, his elder brother would originally have to wait several more years before he could marry a wife.
A year and a half ago, he met a doctor from Bai Ren Hall on the road, and he knew this was a rare Opportunity; by being small, sweet-mouthed, and clever, he coaxed the doctor from Bai Ren Hall to give him a chance to be a medicine boy.
Only then did he have the Opportunity to leave the village and come to the town to be a medicine boy.
Afterward, he sent most of his monthly earnings home, allowing his elder brother to marry a wife early.
His sister-in-law was a girl from the neighboring village, and also the heroine of his elder brother's heroic rescue, which ultimately led to the father and son being beaten black and blue, thus forming a marriage.
His sister-in-law was a good housekeeper, treating both parents and his younger sister very well; evidently, his sister-in-law already regarded them as her own family.
His younger sister was named Xiaocao, now just a child of six, extremely lively, running around the village all day, making the village chaotic with her playmates.
Her personality was somewhat similar to her mother's, and the fiery temper was already showing signs.
Children from poor families in the village generally had no formal names, only nicknames, which were humble names, taken to hope for easy upbringing.
As for whether the name sounded good, that was not within their consideration.
Even if a few children didn't like the name, they would just be beaten once; if not, then twice, ideals would always yield to reality, and eventually, the mischievous children would obediently listen.
This was also the educational philosophy passed down in the village.
It was also due to poverty, with no extra copper coins to hire a scholar to give them names.
At the same time, this was also a village custom; although it didn't sound good, it was also the parents' earnest hope and entrustment for their children to grow up safely.
Thinking of this, Cheng Bu Zheng couldn't help but smile knowingly.
When his gaze inadvertently fell on a painting of an Immortal riding a sword hanging on the wall.
In Cheng Bu Zheng's mind, a scene of an Immortal flying on a sword naturally appeared, and this scene was firmly imprinted in his heart.
"If I hadn't seen the Immortal flying on a sword that day, I wouldn't have believed that Immortals truly exist in this world.
No wonder... there are so many rumors of Immortals and monsters among the people!
Time is running out, it's time to act, otherwise I'll have to wait another ten years.
Now I can confirm that my information is true, after all, that peddler in town is a very honest person; from his words, logic, and demeanor, everything proves that the peddler was not lying.
If it weren't for one time, when I saved his drowned child with chest compressions, he probably wouldn't have told me this news!
Afterward, he specifically inquired about it, and finally, all signs indicated that Immortals would be recruiting disciples in the county town at the end of this month.
However, from Qingshan Town to the county town, one not only needs to cross the 'Cangqing Mountain Range' but also guard against wild beasts; there are countless wild beasts along the way.
At his current age of less than thirteen, if he were to go alone, he might become food for wild beasts before even reaching the county town.
In a flash.
So many thoughts flashed through his mind, but a look of determination appeared on his face.
Longevity and eternal vision, these four words are the lifelong pursuit that countless emperors could hear of but not find, and also the dream of countless Mortals.
Such a heaven-sent Opportunity has fallen before his eyes; if he doesn't strive for it with all his might, even if he holds immense wealth in the future, he will probably spend the rest of his life in regret.
Currently, the plan is already in progress.
Although it's mutual utilization, and the other party is a complete villain, he feels no guilt in his heart.
But Cheng Bu Zheng thought of the background of the target, Young Master Qian...
He sighed softly in his heart, but the determined look on his face became even firmer.
He silently pondered whether there were any omissions in the plan.
Tomorrow is the final step; now he's the only one, and there are no other suitable targets.
Life is not easy, don't expose people's difficulties. I ask all the great gods to be merciful.
Hmm!
If it really doesn't work, then be gentle!
Xiaodao thanks you.
