“My fellow cultivator, please let me go and don’t follow me! The Generosity Sect won’t hire you!”
Wang Qiannian said bitterly as he was not able to shake Xu Que.
“Brother Wang, it is OK that I don’t join your Generosity Sect. But I’ve asked several questions. I think you should show me your due respect by answering them!” Xu Que said with a smile.
Wang Qiannian’s eyelid twitched a bit. He was quite angry and almost tried to beat Xu Que up!
Show you my due respect?
Buddy, you are placing a dagger on my neck now! How could you ask me to do that in this way?
If I don’t care the rules in this place, a cultivator at the Human Celestial Stage like me will never be so cowardly!
“OK! OK! You got me! What a bad luck! What do you want to know?”
Wang Qiannian stopped his step and said as he looked at Xu Que, “But you should take away your dagger first! If I don’t care about the rule that 1 year of life-span will be deducted for killing in this place, I would have killed you!”
“Oh? I didn’t expect you have such a rule in this place! Hah-hah, does it mean you don’t have enough life-span here? I have plenty of them! I guess I still have several thousand years of life-span, which means I can kill a lot of people here!” Xu Que said with a smile.
Wang Qiannian replied with a cold smile, “My fellow cultivator, you are wrong! From the moment you arrived in this place, you only have 1 year of life-span left! So, you’d better put away your dagger because your behavior is quite ridiculous!”
“Me? Only 1 year of life-span?” Xu Que was surprised immediately.
He summoned the System and checked his life-span with the Wheel of Life and Death. The next moment, he was totally shocked by the result.
Originally, he had 2,000 years of life-span. Now, the value was 1 year!
“Holy shit! What the hell is going on?” Xu Que shouted in disbelief.
“My fellow cultivator, please calm down! This world was abandoned because a tough guy used to fight her opponent here. Her Taoist Connotation could rob life-span of other people. After so long a time, her Taoist Connotation was still in this place, which even changed the Rules of Heaven and Earth in this place and caused the current situation!”
Wang Qiannian sighed at this moment, “Alas! I was so unlucky that I fell to this world. Now, I have to do my best to elongate my life every day for everyone here was threatened by the imminent death!”
Xu Que was shocked by his words. He didn’t expect one’s Taoist Connotation could change the Rules of Heaven and Earth!
Holy shit! How powerful this guy was!
The point is that my life-span was taken away quietly! If Wang Qiannian didn’t remind me, I might die confusedly 1 year later.
Wait! Why is it so familiar to me?
It seemed that Xuanyuan Wanrong stole my life-span in this way! Could it be that…
Suddenly, things happened under the Celestial Burial Valley occurred to Xu Que, which shocked him. Then, he turned to Wang Qiannian and asked, “Do you know the name of that tough guy?”
His question stunned Wang Qiannian, who said by shaking his head, “I don’t know! This is a hearsay which is handed down from the ancient times. Nobody gives a shit about the name of this tough guy anymore. My fellow cultivator, I suggest you to find a way to elongate your life now. For example, you could have sex with those women who stood in the streets. If they are pregnant, you will get a grain of thumb-sized Vital Rice, which could elongate your life for 1 month!”
“Ah? Why?” Xu Que was surprised again.
This question had lingered in his mind for so long a time. Why do those women give something to the man who had sex with them?
“The rules in this world are quite weird. Any cultivator who landed in this world will be given 1 year of life-span, no matter how powerful this cultivator is. Nobody could take away this 1 year of life-span. Only the newly-added life-span could be taken away or traded! Of course, the weirdest thing here is that the newly-born infant in this world has 16 years of life-span, which can even be collected by others!” Wang Qiannian said.
“What?” Xu Que widened his eyes in terror.
The newly-born infant had 16 years of life-span, which could be collected to elongate other’s life!
This was an obvious answer to his question!
Those gorgeously-dressed women in the street tried to conceive a baby by having sex with male cultivators. Then, they would elongate their life with those newly-born infants till they had enough life-span! The life-span of these children could even be traded!
How could they be so cruel and ferocious?
Xu Que felt this was unacceptable for him for it had crossed his bottom line!
“My fellow cultivator, don’t be so surprised. A lot of people object this method. However, most people have to use this method to elongate their life!” Wang Qiannian shook his head with a wry smile when he saw Xu Que’s reaction.
When he just arrived at this place, he was also shocked by this method, which was totally unacceptable for him.
Now, he had got used to it. This method had been accepted by his mind.
This was a cruel world. Although a vicious tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs. Human’s heart and greedy were even more vicious than a tiger!
“Does it mean all of you survive by using the life-span of those newly-born infants?” Xu Que asked coldly.
Although he was quite cruel, he still had a bottom line.
These people elongated their life with the life-span of newly-born infants, which was outrageous and nauseating!
Xu Que thought he arrived at a beautiful new world. Now, he thought this place was indeed a stinking ditch. Maybe it was even worse than a stinking ditch!
“No!” Wang Qiannian replied at this time, “Those female cultivators are not able to conceive a baby every time! Also, a female cultivator could only give birth to 1 infant in each year! There are numerous cultivators in this world. Even several hundred infants are born in each year, their life-span is not enough to satisfy so many people! So, most of us elongate our life with the Vital Rice!”
“Vital Rice? What’s that?” Xu Que calmed down a bit.
Wang Qiannian replied, “There is a precious item living in the underground area of this place, which is called the Vital Rice! The size of each grain of Vital Rice varies. The most common Vital Rice is as large as a thumb, which could be used to elongate our life for 1 month! However, we are not able to harvest the Vital Rice at all, which could only be done by the Vital Ants! So, all members of the big sects here, like the Generosity Sect and the Majesty Alliance, have to search for the nest of the Vital Ants every day. After locating a nest, we will dig it and steal their Vital Rice!”
Dig the nest of Vital Ants to steal their Vital Rice?
Xu Que was surprised and said, “So…you dig holes every day, right?”
“Right! It is not as simple as you imagined. It is very difficult to deal with those Vital Ants! Once we come across a queen ant, we will suffer great casualties for a queen ant is as powerful as a powerhouse at the Earth Celestial Stage! Of course, the most difficult work is to find their nests, which are always hidden deeply in the ground! Also, their nests are very strong. Cultivators whose cultivation stage is lower than the Human Celestial Stage are not able to find the nests, let alone steal the Vital Rice!”
Then, Wang Qiannian exclaimed, “So, digging hole is also a technical job! You’ve just at the Half Celestial Stage. So, you are not able to do that. That’s why we don’t want to hire you!”
Xu Que was annoyed immediately.
I know digging hole is a technical job!
But why do you say I can’t do that?
I am able to rob graves. Cave positioning is one of my basic skills!
So, digging hole is so f*cking easy for me!
