Sharing Tamed Beasts' Talents for Eternal Life

Chapter 13: Diary

Thinking about the conversion between spirit stones and spirit coins, one could tell that these large sects could easily profit from ordinary cultivators.

It was similar to the currency hegemony in He Qingge's previous life, but it was stronger and more overbearing.

A group of large sects could discuss and limit the amount of spiritual energy in a unit of currency. They had a tacit understanding of each other to profit from the entire world.

After obtaining spirit stones, itinerant cultivators could not directly use them for cultivation. They could only think of ways to exchange spirit coins with these large sects.

This formed the most superficial cycle. This was considered to be the luck of a rogue cultivator to discover a spirit stone mine. It would not allow them to increase their strength quickly in a short period of time.

This led to the world's hierarchy being solidified, and the probability of rogue cultivators wanting to stand out was too low.

There were many rogue cultivators who had lost all their conscience in order to survive and cultivate.

However, they were also very discerning. Even if it was a robbery, they would only choose those disciples who did small chores.

They did not even dare to touch the outer sect disciples.

Many disciples who went out to do sect missions would basically wear the sect's uniform to show their identity.

Other than the extremely vicious and evil rogue cultivators, most people would not find trouble with them.

The main thing was that they might not be able to win.

However, the miscellaneous disciples were usually supernumerary personnel trained by large sects to serve. After all, with so many people cultivating, it was impossible for there to be no one to serve!

Moreover, the miscellaneous disciples needed to work and cultivate. Usually, they did not have much time to cultivate, and their situation was not necessarily much better than that of the itinerant cultivators.

When sect disciples went out on missions, the main threat did not come from these itinerant cultivators.

In this world, where there were benefits, there would be competition. Where there was competition, there would be opponents, and where there were opponents, there would be enemies.

There were many old rivals of the Tian Xuan Sect, and all of them were powerful forces that could not be defeated.

He Qingge was not too sure about the exact reason, but he knew that some of it was because of the fight for the spirit stones.

Therefore, it was safer for a miscellaneous disciple like him to not wear the sect's uniform in some situations.

He Qingge carefully examined the man's golden gloves. He did not know what material they were made of, but they were as thin as a cicada's wings.

They were quite tough and soft. Even if they used force to tear the gloves, it would not cause any damage.

He Qingge took out the divine weapon that he had specially forged and tried to pull on the golden gloves. However, he found that it did not leave a trace.

He Qingge was already quite surprised that it was able to reach this level. However, he did not use his sword to test its strength.

If the gloves were damaged, there was no use feeling regretful then.

If they could be damaged by these mortal divine weapons, it meant that they were not a treasure.

After a simple examination of the talismans and pills, he put them away. He was more familiar with these things.

Finally, his gaze stopped on the rusty copper plate and the diary.

He Qingge's gaze was a little strange. Who would write a diary?

The copper plate had decayed so badly that the words engraved on it could not be seen clearly. After studying it for a long time, he could not find any special use.

In the end, he could only open the diary first.

[In the 99670th year of the Taixuan Calendar, after a night of begging and wailing, the teacher opposite finally agreed to teach me how to read.

[Looking at the sadness on my mother's face, I felt a little uncomfortable, so I said to her that I didn't want to study.

[My mother slapped me. I still remember her pained expression at that time.

[It was also the first time she had hit me in my memory. It was the first time that my strong mother had tears on her cheeks. I immediately panicked.

[Therefore, I vowed to study hard and do my best to study.

[Now, I have a small achievement. Whenever I recall the scene at that time, I can't help but feel emotional.

[Records of the 99696th of the Taixuan Calendar.]

He Qingge finished reading the first short entry, which was recorded 26 years ago.

Roughly estimating, the oldest record was around 30 years ago.

He Qingge had reincarnated, and many of his memories were now very vague. Of course, he still remembered the important things.

He continued reading.

[Today, when they heard that an immortal had come to the city, many people went to visit, hoping to come into close contact with them.

[I also wanted to go, but unfortunately, I didn't have the qualifications and could only watch from afar.

[When I realized that the immortal also had two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, I felt a little disappointed.

[Shaking my head, I quickly left the place. The imperial examination was about to begin, so I still have to study seriously.

[Compared to seeking the Dao from immortals, I have more hope of becoming a scholar.

[Immortals were a far-fetched dream.

[Records of the 99697th year of the Taixuan Calendar.

[I didn't expect that I would still fail despite having prepared so well. Am I worthy of my mother's expectations?

[The imperial examinations don't only require one to study hard but also to have money in their hands.

[What's the use of reading this book?

[It's really unfair. Why were some people born to be emperors while others were born to be ants?

[Lu Qianjun also failed and invited me to climb the mountain to disperse my Qi. He didn't seem to be disappointed.

[It's also because his father is the prefect, so he's a person worth befriending.

[There were many people traveling with me, and most of them were the sons of dignitaries. It really made me a little envious and jealous.

[I really wanted to replace any one of them. Even though they failed in the examination, they could still be so carefree.

[Records of the 99698th of the Taixuan Calendar.

[In the west of the Great Yu State, there's a tall mountain peak. From afar, it looks dark and is called the Black Mountain.

[It's said that there are many jackals and ferocious beasts there, and they're quite fierce and brutal.

[I really can't understand why these young masters who live in such a world of would want to go to such a dangerous place.

[Even if they failed the exam, isn't it better to go to the Purple Jade Garden than climb a mountain to calm down?

[I heard that there are many martial arts masters. I saw with my own eyes that their feet are as light as birds.

[I really wish I can be like them. Unfortunately, these martial arts manuals are also things that I can only dream of.

[When I climbed the mountain with them, I realized that these young masters were in good health. They had been polishing their bodies since they were young, and their martial arts were not weak. No wonder they dared to come to this place.

[People like me who had been doing farm work since young were not as strong as them.

[For a moment, I had mixed feelings.

[My studies are not better than theirs, and my body is not as good as theirs. When will I be able to stand out and live the life I want?

[The most infuriating thing is that they're still polite to me. I can't even be angry at them.
