Chapter 64 Do you want to become an immortal? It has been a long time...
After many, many years, she heard the voice again.
This voice changed her life.
The city lord opened his eyes and said as if greeting an old friend: "After so many years, you finally showed up."
The thing made a strange and terrifying noise. After a long while, a cold voice sounded: "Host, it has been too long since we last met. Host, in such a long time, have you been able to get what you want?"
"Did you get what you wanted?" The city lord sighed, "What does it mean to get what you wanted......"
"You have become an immortal and possess powers that you never dared to imagine. No one can bully you anymore. Many people like you and respect you. You have even built a city of your own." The system counted one by one, as if to remind the city lord that it had fulfilled her wish.
Not only did it fulfill what she had promised, but it also fulfilled for her what she had not promised.
What else is she not satisfied with?
If it weren't for this system, she would have turned into a handful of dirt long ago.
No...it is definitely more than that. Her fate will only be more tragic. She will experience birth, old age, sickness and death in an endless cycle of reincarnation and will be bound by the identity and body of a mortal for eternity.
She wanted to forget what happened when she was still a mortal, but what made her painful was that she had a good memory.
The city lord remembered clearly everything about her time as a mortal.
She remembered the cold wind that blew on her through the cracks in the broken bricks in winter, she remembered the feeling of her flat belly and dizziness from hunger, she remembered the pain of her body being torn apart, and she remembered the numbness when she buried the body in the soil.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, hatred and resentment, love and separation, and failure to obtain.......
How happy she is now.
What else is she not satisfied with?
The city lord looked into the void, even though there was nothing there.
"System" is indeed a magical thing.
It was hidden in her sea of consciousness, and even a cultivator as powerful as Ling Fuyao could not detect its existence.
This was her secret, the whole secret of her ascension.
In the past that she had deliberately forgotten, she had encountered this thing one night...
It suddenly appeared in her mind, scaring her so much that she screamed, thinking she was possessed by some evil spirit.
But what it says is very tempting.
It told her that it was the system, but because there was a problem with the object it was bound to, it needed to change its host.
At that time, it promised her that it could help her become an immortal.
But at that time, she only felt fear and panic about this thing that appeared inexplicably in her mind.
She had heard some rural legends that there were goblins and evil spirits in the forest who would lure passers-by with gold, silver and treasures and then eat them.
Li Liumei thought with some self-mockery that this monster called "Xitong" was really stupid. Instead of tempting her with cultivating immortals, he might as well give her some meat.
After all, she hadn't eaten meat for many years.
"You are very suitable for cultivating immortals, host." The voice was mechanical and dull: "At least within this radius of 100 miles, there is no one more suitable for cultivating immortals than you."
"I... I don't understand. I... I'm just an old woman. How can I cultivate immortality?" She answered the system timidly, her lips trembling. Her old and hard-working face showed a fearful expression. Then she pulled up the corners of her mouth awkwardly and revealed an ugly smile: "Great... Great Immortal, don't tease me. I still have to go home to feed the pigs."
She knew about immortal cultivators, but they were just a very distant legend to her.
There is no spiritual energy here, so naturally there will be no immortal cultivators.
The cold and dull voice of "Xi Tong" now has a hint of regret: "You have excellent roots, dual spiritual roots of water and wood, and you are also Class A in absorbing spiritual energy. This is the top holy body for cultivation, but you have not been discovered by any sect, and instead you have wasted your time in the mortal world. What a pity."
"I don't understand. I...I want to go home."
At that time, Li Liumei didn’t understand the things in the world of immortal cultivation, but now the city lord knows why.
At that time, the world of immortal cultivation was extremely turbulent and chaotic. The sect near her hometown had just been wiped out, all its resources were looted, and its spiritual energy was sucked dry.
According to her talent, even if she has never learned to practice, she will unconsciously absorb some spiritual energy and show her uniqueness.
This is like a firefly in the dark and can attract the attention of cultivators.
But something like that happened to happen.
If...if it were now, no, even in a slightly more stable era, a talent like her would be easily discovered by the sects nearby.
"You have a healthy body and will not get sick. Even if you get injured, you will recover quickly. You have experienced famine, but you can get through it more easily than ordinary people. You have given birth to thirteen children, but you are still healthy now." "West Bucket" patiently explained: "Because you can absorb spiritual energy. Even if the spiritual energy here is very weak, your body can still absorb spiritual energy from plants and water to repair your body."
What "Xi Tong" said is indeed correct.
From childhood to adulthood, Li Liumei has never been sick, even though she didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear.
In the years of famine, even though she ate the least, she still did not starve to death.
She remembered the painful yet magical experience.
For a full half month, she didn't eat anything, but she still didn't die. She even survived until the first rain and the beginning of new sprouts in the soil.
This kind of thing should only happen to those who are tall, strong and fat.
But Li Liumei was not fat. On the contrary, she was quite thin, so thin that she was just skin and bones, and would almost fall down if the wind blew.
But she vaguely remembered some things.
She remembered when she placed her hands on the land and water, a little bit of something warm, like food, flowed through her fingertips and into her body.
She didn't know what it was, but it was that little bit of warmth that helped her get through the most difficult times.
"Xitong"'s words finally wavered Li Liumei's heart.
Maybe, maybe this "Xitong" is not some monster, but a deity who can really help her?
But in the end, she still rejected the "Western Bucket".
Years of misfortune made her escape instinctively.
She couldn't believe that such a good thing would happen to her.
"Great Immortal, please let me go..."
So, "Xitong" told her helplessly that if she didn't want to become an immortal, she could give herself to her children, such as her little granddaughter. Although the little girl only inherited one tenth of her cultivation physique, it was enough.
It just needs a host to restore its abilities.
But when she returned home, she chose to remain silent.
She had vaguely sensed that "Xitong" might not be lying.
But she still didn't tell anyone about its existence.
Even her family.
But "Western Bucket" is not something she can avoid by not talking about it.
That night it occurred to everyone in that poor family:
"Do you want to become an immortal?"
