Chapter 3: Ying Zheng: I’m a novice at introducing myself
The convoy moved forward slowly. The road that had cost countless manpower and material resources to build still gave Weishengxue an overly bumpy experience.
'This place is very different from what I imagined.'
After lowering the curtain again, she said this to the system.
"I thought the living standards in the world of immortal cultivation were similar, except that many areas where technology was used were replaced by spiritual power and magic tools."
The system glanced at the information about the immortal cultivation world in the memory and thought to itself: What you are talking about must be the advanced immortal cultivation world, which is essentially a world where immortal cultivation and technology are advancing together.
[This is just a low-level world. The world you imagine really exists. Do you want to go? If so, I will take you to the new world.]
"You're saying you don't have enough energy? Even the Immortal Cultivation Module can only open the most basic clothing mall. To take me to the new world, the energy required would require me to dismantle you completely and throw you into the energy pool."
The system felt guilty for a moment.
The immortal cultivation module cannot be opened because it has not yet reached the immortal cultivation world. As for the so-called clothing mall, it got the clothes from the friend's clothing changing system 306 through the back door.
[Anyway, if you want to leave, wait for me for five days, and I will take you to the new world in five days]
"No, I want to stay here. You said that those who can form a pill within a hundred years are geniuses. I have formed a pill in just twenty years here. This place will definitely bring me good fortune!"
system:【……】
You don't consider how talented you are at all.
【and you……】
"Instead of thinking about taking me to another world, why not save some energy to connect to the stars? We agreed that this is just a slightly longer journey, and you will take me back when the time comes."
[Of course I can take you back. I'm a legitimate system, not a human trafficker!]
----
After shaking all the way, the convoy finally stopped just before Weishengxue felt so uncomfortable that she was about to vomit.
Outside the carriage, a palace attendant in formal attire said respectfully, "We have arrived at the palace. Please alight, Immortal Master."
Wei Shengxue put the orange peel in her mouth and took a bite. The sour taste rushed to the tip of her tongue, so sour that she woke up instantly.
——I finally got this meal ticket, I can’t lose it!
After getting off the carriage, she saw the imposing Taoist friend already waiting in front. She quickened her pace and walked over, smiling and saying, "I haven't asked for your name yet."
Ying Zheng was silent.
He would only introduce himself during sacrifices, and any titles from "King Zheng of Qin" to "Qin Shi Huang Zheng" were inappropriate to appear here.
Wei Shengxue was puzzled: Isn’t this inappropriate to say?
"The surname Ying, with the country as the clan name, and the single given name Zheng."
Wei Shengxue: ...
Showing an illiterate smile.jpg
"Tong'er, what's his name?"
System: [Ying’s surname is Qin, you can call him…]
"Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng."
【Qin Zheng.】
“…”
Quiet.
It was quiet.
Weishengxue pretended not to hear the last two words. As long as I wasn't embarrassed, others would be embarrassed.
She smiled brightly: "Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng, you can call me..."
At this moment, a middle-aged official walked in and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, Master Weixian, the guesthouse is ready."
Weishengxue: "...My last name is Weisheng." He corrected gently.
Awkward.
No one expected that the simplest thing of exchanging names would go wrong twice.
However, no one was shy and they brushed the matter aside in a few words, and the atmosphere became lively again.
After riding in a carriage for several days, people need to rest and refresh themselves, such as taking a shower and changing clothes. At the same time, they also give strangers some private space as a gesture of friendship.
When it comes to people and things related to longevity, Ying Zheng is always extra patient. "Daoyou Weisheng, if you need anything, just tell the palace maids. Zhao Gao, lead the way for the immortal master." The second half of the sentence has turned into his usual majesty.
"Yes." Zhao Gao stepped out from behind and made a gesture to lead the way. "Master, please come this way."
This is probably a place similar to a holiday estate.
The floor tiles showed almost no signs of wear, the corners and eaves were not mottled by wind and rain, and the soil in the garden was still soft and freshly renovated. All signs indicated that this place was built no more than a year ago.
Along the way, everyone who saw Fellow Daoist Ying Zheng had to greet him, and they also had a set of regular standards of greeting each other.
There are also certain differences in the clothes they wear - this is particularly prominent on Ying Zheng, as if everyone is avoiding elements similar to him in order to show his uniqueness.
There is a complete organizational structure, clear hierarchy, and even the levels of clothing are obvious.
Wei Shengxue slowly analyzed what he had seen and heard along the way, comparing it with the knowledge in his memory and coming to a conclusion:
A feudal monarchy system similar to that on the mother planet in ancient times has developed here.
In a society where strength is respected, would there be such a strict system that determines status based on identity?
She confirmed with the system again: "Am I really the strongest here?"
【certainly】
[The system turns on full protection mode for you, so you don’t have to worry about your life being in danger]
Wei Shengxue raised her doubts, and the system responded: [In a world where becoming an immortal is hopeless, if one cannot achieve immortality, they will focus on fighting for more power.]
Wei Shengxue recalled the things that happened when he was interning in the pioneering team, and felt that what the system said made sense.
She brushed past the branches that extended into the corridor, and the faint wood spirit power was transmitted from the branch to her fingertips, and then merged into the golden elixir with the circulation of spiritual power.
The growth in strength made her close her eyes comfortably, and then she thought to herself with regret: "The training conditions here are so good, why don't they practice well?"
"Master, we're here." Zhao Gao, who was leading the way in front, stopped and respectfully opened the gate to invite her in.
The yard is well maintained, especially the big tree by the wall. Standing at the door, you can feel the rich power of the wood spirit inside.
Looking at Zhao Gao who was waiting for his opinion, Wei Shengxue smiled and said affirmatively, "I like it very much. Thank you, Daoist Fellow Ying Zheng, for me."
Zhao Gao bowed in agreement and led the others out of the yard.
Wei Shengxue breathed a sigh of relief. Twenty years of living alone had caused her social skills to deteriorate a lot, and dealing with so many strangers was really a challenge.
In the courtyard facing south, the midsummer sun penetrates the treetops that cover half of the courtyard, scattering dots of broken gold, making the originally regular courtyard more casual and dreamy.
She pushed the door open and walked in. The sunlight reflected the shadows of window lattices and partitions with various patterns on the floor of the house.
"Things in the world of immortal cultivation are just different. Even the windows are hand-carved and decorated with different patterns. They're much more beautiful than the straight lines we have here."
However, in terms of efficiency, the interstellar era is naturally higher.
"Is this a dressing table?" Wei Shengxue sat in front of a mirror. On the table was an exquisite lacquered wooden box, and the delicate patterns on it made her praise it again.
There are boxes for headdresses, bracelets, rings... each one is arranged separately, and is even filled with jewelry of various styles, waiting for the owner to use.
"That's so sweet! Is this the joy of being fed by a big boss? I can do it!"
The system is strange. The fineness and rarity of these things cannot be compared with those sold in the mall. What's so exciting about it?
"You don't understand, this is the joy of getting unexpected wealth." Even so, Wei Shengxue put the things back in their place and did not use them.
After going around all the houses, she cast a spell to build a rocking chair under the big tree, and lay on it, quietly enjoying the comfort of being wrapped in the power of the wood spirit.
As she closed her eyes and rested, the spiritual power in her body circulated naturally, and green light spots invisible to the naked eye floated around her and then flowed into her body.
The spiritual power she released in turn nourished the surrounding flowers, plants and trees, making the flowers and plants that had been wilting under the scorching sun perk up.
Wei Shengxue quickly sank into her own world until a few light footsteps woke her up.
She opened her eyes, too lazy to move, and just asked, "What's the matter?"
"His Majesty the Emperor has arranged a banquet in the main hall, and we respectfully invite the Immortal Master to attend." The visitor was very humble, as if someone had reminded him in advance.
banquet?
Wei Shengxue glanced at the ordinary clothes on her body and sat up with a start.
The first formal dinner with the meal ticket is related to the future food rations!
"Let me change my clothes."
Wei Shengxue quickly opened the system changing room, took out a set of clothes and changed immediately.
For her, it was just a matter of clicking on the "one-click change of clothes" button, but in the eyes of others, it was like the immortal master waving his hands and casting a spell, changing clothes in an instant.
Magic!
This must be magic!
They were lucky enough to see the immortal perform his magic with their own eyes!
It’s worth living this life.
Everyone secretly made up their minds that this matter must be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom, telling future generations: Your ancestor is someone who has seen the magic with his own eyes!
