Chapter 3: More than One Protagonist Xu Hui is anxious and...
Xu Hui was anxious and moved a little too vigorously. Suddenly, she felt an itch in her throat and started coughing heart-wrenchingly.
"Cough, cough, cough--" He coughed continuously, as if he wanted to cough out the entire lungs.
After a while, tears welled up in her eyes. She turned over and leaned against the wall, saying weakly, "System, what's wrong with me?"
[The original owner's heart meridian was severed by Xu Lan. You were reborn in her body, bringing a glimmer of hope. However, the broken heart meridian is not a long-term solution. You must be healed within a month, otherwise you will die!]
"Is there any solution?" Xu Hui felt her lungs, abdomen, and intestines were all tangled together, causing her great discomfort. She could only press hard over and over again to feel less pain.
[A scan revealed a plant called Bu Tian Zhi on a hilltop sixty miles from here. It will mature in three days, and its fruit can replenish natural losses.]
"Tiansan?" Xu Hui felt uncomfortable and didn't want to talk, so she simply repeated her doubts.
【Any defects that you are born with can be remedied by this.】
This effect...is incredible!
But when Xu Hui listened, why did it sound so familiar?
"System, I seem to have heard of it somewhere..." she hesitated.
[It's in the memory of the soul that fought with you for this body. ]
Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully. Suddenly, she understood and was surprised. "Am I traveling through a novel again, or does this world also have magical objects like Bu Tian Zhi?"
Bu Tian Zhi appears in the third chapter of a male-oriented immortal cultivation novel. The male protagonist Lei Hong is the illegitimate son of the head of the Lei family, one of the ten major families. He was born when the head of the Lei family went out for training and met a beautiful mortal girl by chance.
The head of the Lei family was a playboy, with countless wives and concubines, and more than twenty children. Naturally, he would not care about the child born to a woman he just played with casually.
Therefore, Lei Hong grew up in the mortal world, and after much difficulty, his spiritual roots were detected, which turned out to be the thunder spiritual roots that the Lei family most respected.
The types of spiritual roots are divided into gold, wood, water, fire and earth. In addition, there are also mutant spiritual roots such as thunder spiritual roots, wind spiritual roots, ice spiritual roots, etc.
Mutated spiritual roots have the same outstanding talents as single spiritual roots, but compared with single spiritual roots of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, they have stronger attack power and greater power. Often, single spiritual roots will only lose when facing mutated spiritual roots.
The only drawback is that mutated spiritual root techniques are rare, and heavenly-level techniques are even harder to find in the world.
However, the Lei family, one of the top ten families, has a book of Tianji thunder-type skills called "Chaoyuan Lei Jue", which is extremely domineering and powerful. After learning it, one will be invincible in the same realm.
The ancestor of the Lei family accidentally entered a secret realm and obtained this technique. Not only did he become the best in the world, founded the Lei family, and became one of the aristocratic families, he also ascended to heaven smoothly with the help of the technique.
Therefore, the Lei family took the thunder spiritual root as the foundation of their family inheritance. Anyone who possessed the thunder spiritual root would be immediately appointed as the family heir and trained with all their heart.
Mutated spiritual roots are hard to come by, and not every generation of the Lei family can produce a genius with thunder spiritual roots.
But this generation is an exception. There are actually two of them. One of them is Lei Xiao, the legitimate son of the head of the Lei family. He is extremely talented and has advanced to the Golden Core stage at a young age. Although he is still one step behind Mu Yuan, the prodigy of the Mu family, it is also because he is two years younger.
And the other person is the male protagonist Lei Hong.
But as the protagonist, how could everything go smoothly for him? Even though he has top talent, he was born with a broken meridian, and his path to cultivation has been cut off since then.
The so-called "broken meridians" means that one is born unable to absorb spiritual energy!
If you are unable to absorb spiritual energy, no matter how good your spiritual roots are, they will be useless.
If the Lei family didn't have the genius Lei Xiao, they would definitely try their best to cure him for the sake of family inheritance.
What a pity, with the real chosen one here, Lei Hong had to be abandoned and didn't even have the chance to return to the Lei family.
But as the protagonist, how could there not be any adventures?
Now, the unique Bu Tian Zhi appeared, which made up for the deficiencies that Lei Hong had since birth, turning him from a useless person into a genius.
Bu Tian Zhi: It can replenish the damage and cure all diseases brought from the mother's womb. It is the top-notch treasure from heaven and earth and is hard to find in the world.
Unfortunately, this kind of natural treasure does not grow in a place with abundant spiritual energy. Instead, it is like an ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, hidden among millions of Ganoderma lucidum.
If that were all, there would be no need to worry. Just pick Ganoderma lucidum as if you were scraping the ground, and you would always be able to find one or two, right?
In fact, this is not the case.
Not to mention that the Butianzhi hasn't appeared for thousands of years, even if it appeared, it would be difficult to recognize it for a while, because at other times, the Butianzhi, like ordinary Ganoderma lucidum, does not even have the efficacy of a medicinal plant, it is just an ordinary thing.
Only when it matures and bears fruit instantly, will the fruit have the effect of filling the sky.
And it must be taken within three days, after which the efficacy of the medicine will be completely lost and it will lose its effect.
The Bu Tian Zhi is like a gift from God. It appears randomly on the Ganoderma lucidum without any pattern. Only those with great luck can obtain it.
As the male protagonist, Lei Hong naturally has this luck. Because he possesses a mutated thunder spiritual root, he is abducted by an evil cultivator who intends to steal his spiritual root. At the moment of life and death, he meets a Jindan cultivator who kills the evil cultivator.
He escaped safely, his spiritual roots intact, and was only tortured for a few days, almost dying.
He never thought that there was Ganoderma lucidum in the cave of the evil Tibetan cultivator. He witnessed with his own eyes the miraculous sight of it blooming and bearing fruit in an instant.
Of course, the two people who were fighting outside the cave also noticed it, and the evil cultivator immediately flew over to snatch it despite risking getting injured.
How could the cultivator let him do as he wished? He tried his best to stop him. The two of them were equally strong, so they managed to stop the evil cultivator for a while.
Lei Hong didn't know what it was, but seeing that the evil cultivator wanted it so much, new and old hatreds surged in his heart. He immediately ignored everything and pounced on it and swallowed the only fruit.
In this way, he successfully completed the first stage of training and was promoted to a genius. From then on, he was free to fly as high as the sky and to leap as wide as the sea, creating a legendary life!
Xu Hui's mouth twitched. He was the protagonist of great luck again!
She couldn't help but ask a soul-searching question, "Do you think that with my cannon fodder physique, I can snatch the Bu Tian Zhi from the protagonist?"
【......】The system is speechless!
Xu Hui pressed on, "Let's not talk about that for now. System, can you tell me what kind of world this is? Novel after novel, protagonist after protagonist, are you sure I, a cannon fodder, can survive in such a world? Why did you choose this world for me?"
The system was silent for a moment, then confidently said, "This is the only cultivation world I could find that is willing to accept outsiders. I asked you before what your dreams were for the future, and you said you wanted to become an immortal. Everything was chosen according to the host's requirements."
Xu Hui: ...
Why don’t you let me travel to the world of immortals and be reborn as a god?
It's hard to describe in words. At that time, she saw with her own eyes her parents reincarnated into that normal world. She thought that she would also travel through time, and that her relationship with her parents would eventually end, so she was reluctant to let them go.
The system suddenly asked her what her life ideals were.
She said impatiently, "Of course I want to be a god. Who wants to continue being a human?"
I never thought that this upgrade system was so flexible that it planned such a 'suitable' upgrade path for her. It was really 'thoughtful', haha!
After a long silence, Xu Hui said weakly, "System, you should also know that I couldn't snatch the book-crossing girl before, and she wasn't even the protagonist. I'll be even more powerless against Lei Hong. Besides, Lei Hong was fine after eating the Bu Tian Zhi because he's a member of the Lei family. The Jindan cultivator who killed the evil cultivator can gain many benefits by bringing him back to the Lei family. His life was saved. Otherwise, he dared to snatch food from the mouth of a Jindan cultivator. Do you really think that all cultivators are good-tempered?"
In fact, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak.
After eating the Bu Tian Zhi, it immediately turned into vitality to repair Lei Hong's body. The Jindan cultivator couldn't snatch it away, but it was okay to kill it to vent his anger. Who asked you to compete with the big guy for the opportunity? This is the rule of the world!
Lei Hong's success was due to the contribution of his family background and luck, but she had nothing. She would probably be killed by the evil cultivator as soon as she got close.
People who practice Taoism have powerful spiritual awareness and can clearly sense any wind blowing on the grass around them. In addition, a protagonist with great luck is watching them covetously.
"So system, what do you think is my basis?" Xu Hui sneered, cannon fodder, cannon fodder, what qualifications does she have to compete with the protagonist?
If you have no strength and no luck, you might as well just lie down and wait for death.
[The newbie gift pack has been distributed, please check it. 】
Xu Hui raised her head slightly, remained silent for a while, and then opened the system panel.
The panel of this upgrade system is quite simple, with only four parts. One of them is personal attributes. Xu Hui took a look and then looked away. There was nothing to see. There were only five items: name, spiritual roots, comprehension, skills and points.
He has five spiritual roots, which completely inherits the useless physique of the original owner, and he has no skills at all.
The comprehension level is only 29, which is equivalent to the lower-middle level.
Xu Hui was too lazy to pursue these things. It was obvious that cannon fodder could not have good talent.
The second section is the learning space, which contains various learning projects such as collection, planting, and alchemy. Under the collection category, there are tens of thousands of plants, divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.
Basic medicinal plant collection learning requires 2 points for each type, intermediate 4 points, and advanced 8 points.
Planting is the same, 2 points for each plant. Alchemy is more difficult, in addition to spending 1000 points to purchase the alchemy skills, each unlocked pill recipe requires 5 points.
It really is... not expensive at all.
Xu Hui thought sarcastically that she didn't have any points anyway.
Below that is the task panel, which has only one task: Main Task One, retrieve the Talent Token and successfully participate in the trial assessment!
Finally, there is the system backpack, which has a total of one hundred slots. There is no upper limit for each slot, but it can only hold items of the same type.
For example, if you place medicinal plants, you cannot place anything else.
But this is enough. One grid for medicinal plants, one grid for elixirs, and another grid for weapons. After they are classified and organized, one hundred is more than enough.
Currently the grid is empty, with only the first one containing a package.
Xu Hui silently opened it, and the novice gift popped out.
[Breath-Restraining Talisman +2, Speed Talisman +5, Defense Talisman +3, Points +10]
A Breath-Suppressing Talisman can be used for two hours, after which it will lose its effect.
The magic talisman can make your steps light and effortless, allowing you to walk several miles and climb mountains as if it were flat ground.
The defense talisman is calculated by the number of times. One talisman can withstand a full-strength attack from a Jindan stage cultivator, three times from a foundation-building stage cultivator, and more than ten times from a Qi-refining stage cultivator.
It really is... Not surprisingly, these are all what she urgently needs right now!
"Can I snatch food from the tiger's mouth this way? Will there be no such accidents as before?" Xu Hui still felt that the feasibility was not high.
