Tanyun Village, Weinan County, the scorching sun was directly overhead at noon.
Xu Ning lay lazily in the shade of a tree by the field, a piece of straw in his mouth, his head resting on a hoe.
“Immortality? That seems pretty good! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
That’s right, Xu Ning Transmigrated inexplicably to this unfamiliar world two days ago, and in the depths of his mind, he knew he was now immortal.
“What’s the use of immortality? This world has Immortal Cultivators. If you’re unlucky enough to encounter a Cultivator Undergoing Tribulation, or fighting each other, the aftershocks alone could kill you.” At this mont, a tender voice suddenly ca from the hoe Xu Ning was leaning on.
Xu Ning, however, was not at all surprised by this voice, because not long after he Transmigrated, he discovered that he could talk to everything.
Whether it was the surrounding stones, big trees, or the hoe and cleaver at ho, he could converse with them.
Before Xu Ning could reply, the hoe continued: “Also, you’d best not reveal the secret of your immortality. You should know that all Immortal Cultivators aim to pursue immortality. If they knew, they would definitely capture you for research, and might even wish to drink your blood and eat your flesh.”
Xu Ning didn’t care much; before Transmigration, he had been diagnosed with late-stage cancer and didn’t have long to live. Now that he was immortal, every day he lived was a gain.
“So, we must be low-key, low-key, and even more low-key! When encountering danger, running is the best strategy. Also, stay away from won, especially beautiful won.” Xu Ning said with a cautious expression.
The hoe was puzzled after hearing this: “Stay away from won? Why?”
Xu Ning explained: “Think about it! Won will definitely attract n. If you are with one, it will absolutely draw the attention of other n. To compete for the woman, they will kill you!”
“Xu Ning, what you said makes so much sense!” The hoe’s words were full of admiration and agreent.
Xu Ning nodded: “The saying ‘a beauty is a bane’ isn’t spoken carelessly.”
“As if any woman would even look at you!” The hoe couldn’t help but mutter.
Xu Ning imdiately glared after hearing this: “Do you want to hear what you’re saying? Rember the day before yesterday? i Miaomiao drooled a whole puddle when she saw .”
The hoe was speechless: “She was clearly spitting at you.”
Xu Ning imdiately beca indignant: “Then i Miaomiao even agreed to et in the next life! What a pity! I am an immortal, destined to have no next life!”
The hoe beca even more speechless: “She clearly told you, if you want to be with her, it will be in the next life!”
Xu Ning: “That’s right! Isn’t that agreeing to et in the next life? She even wanted to jump off a cliff for the day before yesterday!”
The hoe was even more speechless: “Big Brother, she was telling you to stop bothering her, or she would jump off the cliff!”
Xu Ning: “Wasn’t that also for ?”
If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from . Please report it.
The hoe: “…………”
Seeing the hoe silent, Xu Ning couldn’t help but gloat: “Just admit it! My charm is unmatched! How does that saying go, ‘On the road, people are like jade, a Young Master peerless in the world!’”
After speaking, Xu Ning got up, directly hoisted the speechless hoe onto his shoulder, and looked up at the sky: “It’s about ti. That scoundrel Yu Jialiang shouldn’t be letting his cattle co this way anymore. Let’s go back!”
Yesterday, that scoundrel let his cattle co over and completely devoured the corn that Xu Ning had just planted in his field.
And the other party had a strong presence in the village. Xu Ning, adhering to the principle of being low-key, didn’t want to confront him head-on. As the saying goes, a gentleman’s revenge is not too late after a hundred years. He planned to wait until the other party was old before settling the score.
So he didn’t go looking for him, but he couldn’t let the hard-planted corn be ruined again, so he simply ca to guard it today.
The hoe: “I think, if you get so pig iron, let upgrade to mortal-grade mid-rank. Then, land reclamation will be much faster. If you plant more, you won’t be afraid of it being eaten by cattle.”
Xu Ning glared after hearing this: “Pig iron? What are you dreaming about? How much money can this little corn sell for! If I had money to buy pig iron, wouldn’t buying corn be better? Besides, after you upgrade, will land reclamation still require effort? Can you move on your own? Answer ! Look in my eyes!”
The hoe imdiately felt a little guilty after hearing this: “I can only move beneath you!”
Pig iron was very expensive in this era because the refining technology was immature, and coupled with the continuous demand from wars, the price reached 8 copper coins per catty.
Grain prices, however, were much cheaper, only 2 copper coins per catty.
The price of one catty of pig iron could buy more than 4 catties of grain, which was enough for Xu Ning to eat for a long ti. Moreover, one catty of pig iron was not enough for the hoe to upgrade, so how could Xu Ning be willing to spend money to buy pig iron?
And most importantly, Xu Ning currently had no money.
After he Transmigrated, he inherited the land and house of the previous owner, who had chosen to commit suicide precisely because he was penniless and desperate, allowing Xu Ning to occupy this body.
So now, he was literally penniless.
These past few days, he had been going to help out at i Miaomiao’s house to get so food.
This also led i Miaomiao to misunderstand, thinking that Xu Ning was helping for her sake, and she kept telling Xu Ning not to bother her.
Xu Ning was too lazy to explain and didn’t care.
Walking by the field, tender voices kept coming from the soil: “Master!”
“Master!”
“Master, I hurt!”
These voices were all from the corn.
To this, Xu Ning could only sigh: “Don’t worry, everyone, I’ll get more manure for you tomorrow, so you can recover as soon as possible!”
“Thank you, Master!”
“Long live Master!”
“Master is the most handso!”
“Master is the most handso in the world!”
Xu Ning raised his hand: “Don’t! Don’t stop!”
The hoe on his shoulder was also speechless: “Their eyes must be problematic!”
Xu Ning imdiately glared: “I think your eyes are problematic! Tomorrow morning, you’re coming with to dig manure, to wash your eyes!”
The hoe imdiately protested after hearing this: “No!”
Xu Ning pretended not to hear, carried the hoe, and walked all the way back ho.
“Xu Ning is back!” The Thatched Hut greeted.
Xu Ning: “You see I’m back, why aren’t you opening the door?”
The Thatched Hut: “I can’t move right now! I need to reach mortal-grade Legendary to move on my own!”
Xu Ning was speechless, but there was nothing he could do. He simply pushed the door open and walked in.
The furnishings inside the Thatched Hut were very simple: a dilapidated table and a bed made of straw.
Inside, there wasn’t even a single stool.
“Xu Ning, you’re back?” The cleaver hanging on the wall said in surprise.
Xu Ning nodded: “I’m back, but I didn’t bring back any food for you to cut. If not, just chop once!”
Before he left, the cleaver had specifically reminded Xu Ning that its blade was itching and it wanted to cut things, so he should bring back so food for it to sharpen its blade on.
“Big Brother, how poor are we?” The cleaver couldn’t help but complain; it was already rusty.
Xu Ning: “Just wait a bit longer. Being poor is only temporary. After a few years, you’ll get used to it!”
The cleaver: “…”
Xu Ning no longer wasted words with them. He picked up the hoe, went outside to get the dung bucket, and then directly went to the village road and began to dig. If you ask what he was digging.
