Chapter 1549 Baisha Country
Xiao Lin was in a coma for three days and three nights.
It was not until the sun was high in the sky that Xiao Lin walked out of the house with a pale face.
"Right now I am just guessing that the mana and blood were sucked away by the spiritual wood space, but I can't be sure whether it is true or not."
"Then what should we do? If this goes on, we will never be able to cultivate immortality and practice Taoism." Xiao Hei immediately closed his mouth after saying this, as if he felt that he had said something wrong.
Xiao Lin waved his hands and said, "There is nothing we can do about this, but at least after looking inside, I found that I am not injured. Even if the Spirit Wood Space can absorb my blood and mana, I think it has a limit. Let's wait and see."
Xiao Hei knew that Xiao Lin's words were meant to comfort him, so he also fell silent.
After Xiao Lin woke up, he quickly discovered the reason for his previous coma. It was because he was trying to circulate his own Qi and blood. Xiao Lin tried several times and found that as long as he raised some of his Qi and blood, it would be immediately absorbed. The reason why he was in a coma at that time was that he tried to mobilize all his Qi and blood quickly, which caused severe pain in the nerves throughout his body, causing him to fall into a coma.
Now that he thought about it, it seemed to be a passive reaction produced by his body. If all his energy and blood were really sucked away, then he would be helpless.
The verification also made Xiao Lin understand that at this moment, he had become a mortal. The only difference between him and mortals was his powerful divine consciousness, which could radiate out to hundreds of thousands of miles.
Within these tens of thousands of miles, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that it was all endless primeval forests, and hundreds of miles to the north was the endless ocean. Of course, within a thousand miles around, there were dozens of scattered villages similar to the one where the Hammer couple lived.
Apart from this, he did not find any immortal cultivators.
Through the expansion range of his spiritual power, Xiao Lin roughly judged that he had not entered the mortal world or the fairy and demon world. The rules of different levels of worlds were not the same. Just as his spiritual power could extend to more than 100,000 miles at the moment, if it was placed in the mortal world, it would probably directly radiate most of the land. On the contrary, if he entered the fairy world, the distance that his spiritual power could detect would be greatly reduced.
Although he was sure that he was still in the spiritual world, Xiao Lin also knew from Feng Zexian that there were countless spiritual worlds in the universe. It was unknown whether he was still in the original seventeen spiritual worlds. If by chance he entered other spiritual worlds, then he would most likely have no hope of going back in this lifetime.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei's magical powers are still there, enough to protect himself. Without Xiao Hei, it would be difficult to survive in this wild forest that is like the ancient times.
Of course, Xiao Lin did not plan to live in this village permanently, but now he had lost all his magic power and supernatural powers. If he wanted to cross the endless forest, he could only rely on Xiao Hei. However, Xiao Lin did not know whether there were any terrible creatures in the depths of the forest. Once he encountered a wild beast, although Xiao Hei could protect himself, he might not be able to protect himself.
As for the boundless ocean, it is even more daunting. In comparison, Xiao Lin would rather cross the wild forest.
Although he thought about it, Xiao Lin did not intend to do so immediately. He still wanted to find out the reason why his magic power was absorbed. It would be even better if this phenomenon disappeared on its own after a period of time. Of course, Xiao Lin was just thinking about it. He did not think that if he did nothing, he would be back to normal overnight.
After Xiao Lin figured it out, he felt a little better. No matter what setbacks and difficulties he encountered, he still had to live his life. On the road to immortality, he had encountered many dangers and difficulties that were greater than the current one.
Xiao Lin greeted Xiao Hei and turned to walk towards the house.
After losing his magic power, especially his qi and blood, he also lost a lot, which made him feel the long-lost hunger.
Tiechui and his wife had already set up tables and chairs in the yard and served them with rich food and wine.
Seeing Xiao Lin and Dahei coming over, Tiechui smiled and said, "Brother, you have been unconscious for a few days. I think you must be starving. Come on, sit down and eat."
He picked up the wine jug beside him and said mysteriously, "This is the fine wine I have treasured for many years. Usually your sister-in-law keeps it from me and doesn't let me drink it. Now that you are here, I will take advantage of it as well."
Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile when he heard that. Madam Tiechui glared at him fiercely, then started laughing as well.
Xiao Lin was smiling, but suddenly he was stunned. A scene suddenly emerged in his mind when he was still in Gouzi Village thousands of years ago and had dinner with his family. The scene was so similar to the present that Xiao Lin felt as if he had returned to the past.
After sitting down, the Tiechui couple enthusiastically put vegetables and meat into Xiao Lin's bowl. Even Xiao Hei next to him was given half a roasted leg of lamb.
Xiao Hei smelled the roasted lamb leg, then his eyes lit up and he started to eat it in big mouthfuls without any hesitation. He looked like a real big black dog.
"Brother Tiechui, where did you find me?" Xiao Lin asked casually during the meal.
Tiechui put down his bowl and chopsticks after hearing this. A trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes, and he said, "That day I went to the mountains to look for iron ore to make some iron arrows for my third brother next door. But I saw you unconscious beside a deep pool on a cliff. I thought you were dead at first, but when I went to check, I found that you were still breathing, so I brought you back."
"Speaking of which, big brother, I'm also a little confused. What exactly happened? How did you end up unconscious beside the deep pool?" Tiechui asked with curiosity on his face.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I don't remember anything about the past. Even this big black dog, I just feel very familiar with it."
Xiao Lin had a confused look in his eyes and spoke dully. That expression really looked like he had lost his memory. Xiao Hei, who was gnawing on a bone nearby, almost choked when he heard what he said and looked at Xiao Lin with admiration.
Xiao Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. There was nothing he could do. He couldn't really tell the Hammer couple about his experience. Not to mention that they might not believe it. Even if they did believe it, it might bring disaster to them. That's why Xiao Lin came up with this countermeasure.
Upon hearing this, the Tiechui couple sighed deeply, felt sad for Xiao Lin, and tried to persuade him.
Tiechui, in particular, kept pouring his treasured wine for Xiao Lin, as if he was determined to get rid of all his worries with a drink.
Xiao Lin drank Tiechui's wine. The taste was quite unique to Xiao Lin, who had drunk too much of various fairy wines. Unconsciously, he drank a lot. However, his soul power was strong. As soon as his mind moved in his sea of consciousness, the drowsiness caused by the wine disappeared without a trace.
Tiechui was just a mortal, and gradually he couldn't bear it anymore. He started talking more and more, and during his conversation, he described the situation in the village to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin also tried to learn more information through chatting intentionally or unintentionally.
Through drinking and chatting with Tiechui, Xiao Lin finally understood that the village they were in was called Haisha Village. Haisha Village had a history of at least hundreds of years. The villagers of Haisha mainly made a living by two means, one was hunting and the other was fishing.
Hunting is dangerous. Not only is it easy to run into wild beasts in the mountains, but what's even more deadly is that you may occasionally encounter monsters. It is said that a hundred years ago, a monster appeared in the mountains behind Haisha Village, and several hunters died one after another. Finally, the village chief had no choice but to send someone to the county town overnight to report the matter.
A few days later, on a stormy night, the villagers of Haisha Village heard shrill screams coming from the back mountain. It seemed to be from a human, but also from a wild beast. Anyway, after that night, the monster never appeared again.
As for fishing, it is also full of dangers. If you encounter danger when hunting in the mountains, at least you can escape. But in the vast ocean, if you encounter sea monsters, the result is usually the destruction of the ship and the death of people. It is precisely because many fishermen encountered danger and even died after going deep into the sea that the villagers of Haisha Village later basically fished within a hundred miles of the shore and rarely went to the deep sea.
After a conversation, Xiao Lin also became interested in the monster that Tiechui mentioned. Tiechui and his wife, as well as their children, were genuine humans. Xiao Lin had already seen this a long time ago. Even all the villages that he sensed through his spiritual sense were inhabited by humans.
This also made Xiao Lin very curious. He began to doubt whether he was still in the original spiritual world. In the Holy Moon Continent where he was, there were many ethnic groups. It was not an exaggeration to say that there were tens of thousands of ethnic groups. The human race was just a second- or third-rate race among them. It was only later, under the leadership of his eldest brother Huan Tianmou, that the human race rose again.
Xiao Lin thought that after the Shuizhao Secret Realm was broken, the several immortal veins that wandered away must have entered the Holy Bone Land. In this way, the immortal energy in the East and West Qingfeng Regions would become more and more dense. If the human race took control of the East and West Qingfeng Regions, plus the Xuanhuang Region, they would occupy four regions, the same as the demon race. Xiao Lin believed that as long as the human race was given some time, they would surely rise again as a super power on the Holy Moon Continent.
"Bang~~~" While Xiao Lin was daydreaming, Tiechui had already fallen drunk on the table.
The next day, Xiao Lin and Xiao Hei left without saying goodbye, but on the bed where Xiao Lin had slept, they left a bottle of elixir and two jade tablets. The elixir in that bottle was a magic pill that could nourish qi and cure diseases. As long as one took one pill, a mortal could live a hundred years without any diseases. As for the two jade tablets, they had the effect of bringing the dead back to life. No matter how serious the injury was, as long as the limbs were intact and the jade tablets were worn, one could recover within three days.
These effects are nothing to cultivators, especially top-level cultivators like Xiao Lin, but to mortals, they are no less than the legendary elixirs.
In the next few months, Xiao Lin asked Xiao Hei to take him on a tour of the surrounding area of more than 100,000 miles.
Only then did Xiao Lin realize that the Haisha Village where he was located was one of the thousands of villages under the jurisdiction of the Baisha Kingdom. The Baisha Kingdom had jurisdiction over an area of tens of thousands of miles, most of which was endless pristine mountains and forests.
As for cities, there are dozens of them. Such a country is just a third- or fourth-rate small country in the Northern Sky Region.
Xiao Lin wandered around these dozens of cities for a long time. His purpose was naturally to find immortal cultivators. Unfortunately, the result disappointed him greatly. There were only ordinary mortals in these dozens of cities.
Could it be that the Baisha Kingdom is really a purely mortal country with no immortal cultivators?
In the past few months, in addition to looking for immortal cultivators, Xiao Lin has been constantly studying his own situation. Unfortunately, after several months, he has not made any discoveries. Once the magic power in his Dantian Qi Sea was generated, it was immediately absorbed.
When one reaches Xiao Lin's level of cultivation, when his Dantian is exhausted, even if he does not practice every day, he can absorb the immortal energy between heaven and earth and replenish his Dantian. However, the result is the same. The immortal energy that Xiao Lin passively absorbs into his body and transforms it into magic power cannot escape the result of being absorbed.
This made Xiao Lin helpless and he could only accept his fate, but Xiao Lin still completed his daily homework without fail, that was to meditate every day and practice the Qingluan Shengmie Yuhan Jue for two hours. Although he knew that the magic power generated by his practice would still be absorbed, Xiao Lin still persevered and completed it every day.
One day, outside a magnificent city, in a remote corner, a black light flashed, and a figure and a big black dog appeared.
The man and the dog were Xiao Lin and Xiao Hei. They arrived today at Baisha City, the capital of Baisha Country.
The Baisha City is located at the northern end, with the sea to the west and endless plains and fields to the east, covering an area of thousands of miles. There are piles of citizens coming in and out of the city gate, and there are also many villagers outside, wearing coarse cloth clothes, driving horse-drawn carriages. At a glance, you can see that the carriages are filled with various vegetables, meat and grain, which are being transported to Baisha City.
At the city gate, there were two rows of armored guards, checking people entering the city one by one, and on both sides of the city gate, there were dozens of armored guards standing. These guards all looked as if they were facing a great enemy, watching people entering and leaving the city gate vigilantly, with their hands never leaving the hilt of the sword at their waist.
Seeing this, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned. He was not surprised by this solemn atmosphere. This was a situation that only occurred when a country was about to go to war or was facing foreign enemies. Could it be that Baisha Country was going to go to war with other countries?
In this way, his identity as a stranger would be very conspicuous. Xiao Lin had already seen that people entering and leaving the city gate all relied on a badge around their waists. The badge was made of ordinary mahogany and was engraved with the name of the wearer. When entering the city gate, they needed to take out the badge and tap it on a square plate in the guard's hand.
The moment the waist badge hit the square badge, the square badge immediately emitted a light golden light, and then the guard relaxed his expression and allowed the people to enter the city.
"Huh?" Xiao Lin couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when he saw this scene. He actually felt a trace of golden spiritual power from the card. In other words, this card must have been made by an immortal cultivator without a doubt.
