I might have been playing a fake cultivation game.

Chapter 033 The Wandering Immortal

The fiery palm froze less than ten centimeters away from Zhou Yun Shen.

The feeling of confinement disappeared.

Zhou Yunshen suddenly retreated, walking back more than ten meters before stopping, panting heavily.

The Qin family patriarch turned his head to look at the sky, his expression somewhat surprised and uncertain.

Then a figure was seen gracefully descending from the night sky.

This was a middle-aged Taoist priest, dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe. He was none other than Lingyou Zhenren, whom Zhou Yunshen had seen in the game screenshots before.

As Lingyou Zhenren landed, the fiery palm floating in mid-air immediately became unstable, flickering between light and shadow, before collapsing and dissipating into the night sky.

"Master Lingyou!" Zhou Yunshen bowed respectfully to the middle-aged Taoist and called out.

The middle-aged Taoist priest turned his head slightly, glanced at Zhou Yunshen, and nodded slightly to him, saying, "I don't know the way very well, which caused me some delay. Please forgive me, young friend."

Zhou Yunshen quickly said, "I am already extremely grateful that you are willing to come and save me."

He placed himself in a very humble position.

After all, this Lingyou Zhenren is Chen Xin'an's protector, not his protector, so he doesn't need to listen to him.

As the saying goes, it's never wrong to be overly polite.

In his view, it was essential to show respect in front of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The conversation between Zhou Yunshen and Lingyou Zhenren was heard by everyone present without missing a single word.

The Qin family patriarch's face was extremely ugly. He had previously judged that the country martial artist in front of him was just trying to intimidate others and make a big show of things. He might have some connection with the Chen family in the prefectural city, but based on such a connection, it would be impossible for the Chen family to come forward to save him.

To his surprise, the Chen family actually sent people to rescue him.

What outsiders don't know is that he just had a silent exchange, or rather, a battle of wits, with the Spirit Wanderer sent by the Chen family.

As a result, he was quickly defeated, and the flaming hand he had conjured extinguished and collapsed on the spot.

Captain Chen, who was standing not far away, had a blank expression on his face.

He also thought that Zhou Erzhu was just using someone else's name to make a big fuss, but it turned out that the so-called protector of Chen Ming, the young master of the Chen family, Lingyou Zhenren, actually came. It turned out that Zhou Erzhu really had a connection with the young master of the Chen family.

Since there's such a powerful connection, why didn't you say so sooner?

Not only did they not say anything, but they also pretended to come and learn martial arts from him.

With this relationship in place, is it really necessary to come here to learn martial arts from him...?

The other villagers, including Dashan, all had blank expressions on their faces.

The situation changed so quickly that they were caught off guard.

"My name is Qin Ruyuan. I greet Master Lingyou." The head of the Qin family bowed slightly and said.

Master Lingyou turned to look at the Qin family head, his expression turning somewhat indifferent, and said, "Fellow Daoist Qin, this young friend is someone my young master specifically requested to protect. Could you, for the sake of my Chen family, spare his life?"

The Qin family patriarch was very unwilling, but he still forced a smile on his face and said, "Of course, I will obey the Chen family's orders."

As the head of the family, he had more than one son.

Although he liked and valued this son, and his son's death caused him great pain, it was not to the point that he lost his mind.

Behind him, his followers and the middle-aged innate martial artist all lowered their heads, not daring to utter a word.

Upon hearing this, Master Lingyou's expression softened slightly, and he nodded gently, saying, "That's very good. Fellow Daoist Qin, it's best not to have any thoughts of revenge afterward. Otherwise, if my young master finds out, the consequences might be unbearable for you."

Upon hearing this, the Qin family patriarch felt a chill run down his spine, but he forced a smile and said, "No, I will never go back on my promise to the Chen family."

After saying that, the Qin family patriarch looked at Zhou Yunshen and said with a gloomy expression, "Boy, please return my Qin family's family heirloom manual to me."

Zhou Yunshen looked at Lingyou Zhenren.

Master Lingyou remained expressionless and made no comment.

Zhou Yunshen immediately understood that Master Lingyou was unwilling to get involved in this matter, which meant that the secret manual found on the corpse was definitely not going to be kept.

Since he couldn't save it, he was quite decisive and simply took out the "Crimson Fire Illuminating Mystery Scripture" from his pocket and tossed it to the Qin family head.

I wouldn't say I felt sorry for him, after all, this "Crimson Fire Illuminating Mystery Scripture" isn't high-level; it's only a Xuan-rank technique, and not even a complete one.

The hatred he felt for the Qin family only intensified.

……

The Qin family head left with the young cultivator's corpse.

Lingyou Zhenren also disappeared into the darkness.

Zhou Yunshen held his younger sister Zhou Xiaoya's hand and walked towards home.

"Second Brother," Zhou Xiaoya called softly.

Zhou Yun Shen forced a smile and said weakly to Zhou Xiao Ya, "Second brother is very tired today. Can we talk about it later?"

"Okay." Zhou Xiaoya nodded obediently and didn't ask any more questions.

At this moment, Zhou Yunshen not only felt a burning pain on his face, but also on one of his hands.

The burn wounds didn't heal quickly, and the pain from the wounds constantly reminded Zhou Yunshen: he was weak, he was too weak.

In this world, the weak have no human rights and can only be slaughtered by others.

Tonight, he truly experienced what it felt like to be at the mercy of others.

The humiliation of being powerless, the profound despair, made him feel suffocated.

He wants to become stronger, and he wants to take revenge for all the humiliation he suffered today!

At this moment, Zhou Yunshen's desire to become stronger became stronger than ever before!

When they got home, Zhou Xiaoya couldn't help but ask, "Second Brother, are we leaving the village again tomorrow to go to Xiyun County?"

"Of course we have to leave the village," Zhou Yunshen said decisively. "However, we won't go to Xiyun County this time; we'll go somewhere else."

"Where to?" Zhou Xiaoya asked.

Zhou Yun Shen looked up at the dark sky and uttered three words: "Go to the prefectural city."

After returning home, Zhou Xiaoya wanted to clean Zhou Yunshen's wounds, but Zhou Yunshen refused.

His reasoning was that martial artists have a strong ability to recover, and this kind of injury can be healed quickly.

He told Zhou Xiaoya to go to sleep quickly, as they had to get up early to travel the next day.

After Zhou Xiaoya returned to her room, Zhou Yunshen also went back to his wooden cabin, lay down on the simple wooden bed, and silently chanted: "Back to Earth!"

After a wave of overwhelming dizziness, Zhou Yunshen was already lying on the bed in his rented room.

Zhou Yunshen picked up his new phone and sent Chen Xin'an a message: "Brother, the danger is over, thanks."

Chen Xin'an quickly replied: "Good thing it's resolved, don't mention it."

Zhou Yunshen typed: "Brother, I want to learn a Heavenly Rank cultivation technique. How much would it cost?"

He wanted to get straight to the top and learn the Heavenly Rank cultivation technique.

This Heavenly Rank cultivation technique is definitely not something that any sect or family in the county possesses.

Even the powerful clans and families near the prefectural city might not possess such high-level cultivation techniques and secret manuals. Even if they did, they would keep them as the core inheritance of their clans and families.

To obtain such core inheritance, talent in cultivation is not enough. After joining a sect, one must pass numerous tests before having any chance of accessing such high-level cultivation techniques and secret manuals.

This wasn't something Zhou Yunshen imagined out of thin air; it was a player who had joined a sect, expressing his feelings in a post on the forum, which Zhou Yunshen saw.

Zhou Yunshen no longer has the patience to go through the sect's numerous trials to obtain the inheritance of high-level cultivation techniques.

He just wanted to get a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique as soon as possible, then bury himself in cultivation and improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Heavenly-rank cultivation techniques are very rare in the game world, but players have quite a few of them.

Zhou Yunshen thought of spending money to buy a copy from a player.

He didn't care if it was a bit expensive; he accepted it.
