Chapter 1 An otaku becomes a shopkeeper
Ye Changsheng is the owner of a long-term grocery store in Aoki Town, and his father Ye Zhonghai spent most of his life barely opening this grocery store, and his main business is the sale and recycling of various ores, medicinal materials and magic weapons.
Ye Zhonghai's immortal cultivation spiritual root is a very large three-line miscellaneous spiritual root, the highest spiritual root index is only 29, when he was 53 years old, he cultivated to the seventh level of qi training, seeing that immortality is hopeless, Ye Zhonghai named his son Changsheng, just to make up for his lifelong regret of cultivating immortals. However, what disappointed him even more was that Ye Changsheng's talent was even worse than Ye Zhonghai, and it was actually an extremely rare five-line miscellaneous spiritual root, although the spiritual root index of each line of Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth reached 20, and the sum of the five systems was the highest value of the spiritual root index of the immortal cultivation realm of 100, but this kind of immortal cultivation spiritual root was the most useless, because no matter which of the five systems of Jinmu, Water, Fire and Earth, Ye Changsheng's cultivation was extremely slow.
What's more, the Spirit Root Index of 20 means that Ye Changsheng can only cultivate some of the lowest level exercises, because slightly more high-end exercises have certain requirements for the Spirit Root Index.
Frustrated, Ye Zhonghai took out most of his life savings and bought the cheapest storefront at the end of a remote street in Aoki Town, which was only about forty or fifty square meters in size, and then opened a grocery store here, doing a little business while raising Ye Chang to grow up.
Since the age of five, Ye Changsheng has been cultivating the lowest level of cultivation in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the "Separation from Fire Technique", under the supervision of Ye Zhonghai, and has been practicing for eighteen years until now, before he can break through the second layer of Qi training. In the eyes of ordinary people, Ye Changsheng was a high-ranking immortal cultivator, but in the Great Qin Kingdom's immortal cultivation realm, Ye Changsheng was just a little rookie who had just entered the threshold of immortal cultivation and had no hope of advancing to the fifth level of qi cultivation in his life.
Not long after Ye Changsheng broke through the second-layer realm of Qi training, when Ye Zhonghai was hunting and killing a first-order demon beast, the Black Timber Wolf, he unfortunately encountered the Black Timber Wolf and died, and he didn't even get the body back, leaving Ye Changsheng alone in this Aoki Town to support the Changsheng Grocery Store.
Ye Changsheng has a secret, his twenty-three-year-old body contains the soul of an otaku from the earth, coincidentally, that otaku is also called Ye Changsheng, maybe the two same names have something in common in the underworld, so the otaku called Ye Changsheng was seventy yards in a traffic accident, and his soul was attached to Ye Changsheng, who was not yet born.
Originally, after knowing that he had crossed over, Ye Changsheng, who was still a baby, was extremely excited, and said in his heart: "Wowhaha, fairies, witches, and demon girls in the immortal cultivation world, your parental brother is here." Immortal weapons, artifacts, magic weapons, your biological master is here, hurry up and get them ready for me!"
However, after staying in Aoki Town for more than ten years, the cruel reality shattered all of Ye Changsheng's illusions. Aoki Town is a vassal town of the largest sect within a radius of 300 miles, and the Aoki Gate will send low-level disciples to serve as town guards in Aoki Town as a training, and collect spirit stones and materials for the operation of the sect. Ye Changsheng, a casual cultivator with no sect, no sect and no background, is the lowest in the eyes of the low-level disciples of Aoki Sect, and it can be described in one word, it is "scum", not to mention the existence of fairies, witches, and demon girls to provoke.
Fortunately, the otaku who graduated from a second-rate university in his previous life has a good foundation in science and engineering, and in this world of cultivating immortals, the laws of physics, chemistry and biology are useless, only mathematics and logic are still valid. Relying on this skill, Ye Changsheng surpassed his father Ye Zhonghai in accounting at the age of six. After completing the forging at the age of twelve and advancing to the first level of Qi training, he thought of countless skills and refining tools that were necessary for his predecessors, so Ye Changsheng tried to use the fire separation technique to process a small short knife that his father used to make toys for him.
The result was miserable, Ye Changsheng spent most of the hour, and the spiritual power in his body was completely consumed, and the small flame in his hand only burned the short knife a little red, but it couldn't melt at all, let alone process the short knife according to his own heart.
After that, in addition to cultivation, Ye Changsheng began to read some scattered alchemy books collected by Ye Zhonghai. Refining and alchemy are extremely difficult, and there will be no more than 10 monks in the entire Aoki Town who can be called refiners and alchemists, so the gold content of Ye Zhonghai's so-called classics can be imagined.
Ye Changsheng tried for several years to no avail, and was disappointed, so he set his sights on the Wang family's blacksmith shop in Aoki Town.
The Wang family's blacksmith shop is to make weapons and farm tools for ordinary people in the town, Ye Changsheng secretly went to learn for a few days without telling his father, and he roughly knew how to forge iron ore to make swords from the honest Wang Lao Wu.
After coming back, Ye Changsheng made a small iron shed in the backyard, and then sacrificed the fire separation technique he had just made, while hitting an iron bar on the anvil with an iron hammer, and heating the iron bar with the fire separation technique. After several years of hard work, Ye Changsheng finally succeeded in refining the first thing in his life that could barely be called a magic weapon - a short knife.
The world of cultivating immortals generally believes that as a magic weapon, it should have the following two characteristics, which can be controlled with spiritual power, and have certain offensive and defensive or other functions. Ye Changsheng's short knife, under the urging of the spiritual power of his Qi cultivation layer, finally overcame gravity, staggered up from the table, and then flew forward three or four meters, and fell to the ground with a thud.
But in any case, this short knife has all the functions of a magic weapon. And a good start is half the success, after advancing to the second layer of Qi training, the power of the Fire Technique has doubled compared to the original, and Ye Changsheng finally refined a magic weapon that can barely be used - an iron cone four or five inches long.
With the spiritual power of the second layer of Ye Changsheng's Qi training, he could control this iron cone to penetrate a two-inch-thick wooden board at a distance of three meters, for ordinary beasts, the lethality of the iron cone was still quite considerable, even against the first-order demon beasts.
In addition to being proud, Ye Changsheng gave the iron cone a name "Soul Breaking Cone", and then put it on the counter of his own shop to sell it magnificently, with a price tag of three spirit stones.
Within a few days, this so-called Soul Breaking Cone was bought by a small casual cultivator at the second level of Qi training. Although the power of this soul breaking cone is too poor, it can only barely be regarded as a first-order end-grade magic weapon, but it can't stand the cheap price, and in other places where you can buy magic weapons in Aoki Town, the lowest-level magic weapon also needs 10 spirit stones.
As for alchemy, it was a more advanced skill than refining, and Ye Changsheng, who had no concept of all kinds of medicinal materials, didn't dare to consider studying alchemy at all.
As a traverser, Ye Changsheng had another advantage, his divine sense was twice that of a cultivator of the same rank, which may be due to the fusion of two people's minds in his soul. Therefore, Ye Changsheng was extremely sensitive to spiritual power fluctuations, so that he would not be pitted when purchasing materials and ores, and occasionally he could find a little thing.
This time, Ye Changsheng sold another soul breaking cone, so he was in a good mood, touching the spirit stone he had just gotten in his hand, lying on the Taishi chair basking in the sun, and said in his heart: "Even if you can't cultivate to immortality, it's not bad to live happily for a lifetime, and then find a daughter-in-law to have a baby, alas, happiness is so simple." ”
As soon as he turned his head, Ye Changsheng suddenly saw a small green-skinned gourd placed behind the container. The gourd was handed down by the ancestor of the Ye family, and it was said that it contained a great secret. However, from the ancestor of the Ye family to Ye Zhonghai, no one was able to discover the secret in this gourd.
Someone in the ancestor of the Ye family once took the gourd to the monk in the foundation building period, but the monk studied it carefully for a long time, and finally concluded that this green skin gourd did not have any spiritual power fluctuations, and it could not be controlled by spiritual power, and it was definitely a waste product.
The only good thing is that the green gourd made of unknown materials is extremely strong, invulnerable to water and fire, invulnerable to swords, and its color has not changed for hundreds of years.
Ye Changsheng took the gourd in his hand and played with it in his hand. The green gourd is about half the size of a palm, and it is very comfortable to touch warmly, just like touching a piece of warm jade.
Looking left and right, he didn't see what was mysterious about the green skin gourd, Ye Changsheng stuffed the green skin gourd into his trouser pocket, and saw that the sky was getting dark, so he closed the door of the store, and rushed into the backyard to beat the iron shed and began to continue his refining business.
Next to the anvil was a semi-finished product of a soul-breaking cone, Ye Changsheng raised the furnace, took up the sledgehammer and began to beat this semi-finished product, every three times, he reached out and turned into a flame several inches long and roasted it on the soul-breaking cone. After Ye Changsheng's many experiments, he beat the hammer three times and then roasted it with flames, so that the effect of the soul breaking cone made is the best. If you hit too many times, the control effect will decrease, and if the number of times is less, the material of the soul cone will be poor and easy to damage.
Today's state seems to be particularly good, Ye Changsheng listened to the clanging sound in his ears, and the flames in his hand seemed to be sharper than usual, so he didn't have to bother thinking about how much time needed between each hammer and how much effort it would take, and he could be satisfied with the effect with a hammer. In other words, he's found his rhythm.
After more than two hours, Ye Changsheng withdrew the flame in his hand, and then struck it with a hammer, and the last abnormal material on the Soul Breaking Cone became uniform after this hammer, so this Soul Breaking Cone was completed.
Next, after quenching and cooling, Ye Changsheng picked up the soul breaking cone and observed it carefully. He had a feeling that this Soul Cone was definitely the best one he had ever refined.
Spiritual power was injected, and the Soul Breaking Cone flew out of Ye Changsheng's hand, breaking through the air like an arrow from the string, piercing into a tree stump under the corner of the wall, and penetrating throughout.
Ye Changsheng was ecstatic for a while, and stretched out his hand to summon the Soul Cone back, but found that the Soul Cone was too deep into the wood, but it was beyond the power of spiritual power alone, so he took an axe and spent half a day to get this Soul Cone out. Holding the Soul Breaking Cone and carefully checking it with his divine sense, Ye Changsheng suddenly felt that there seemed to be shallow fire spiritual power fluctuations on the Soul Breaking Cone, and his heart moved: "Could it be that this Soul Breaking Cone has a surname attached to it?"
If the magic weapon is processed with a special method when it is made, a certain family name will be attached to it, for example, sword magic weapons are usually attached to gold spells to increase the sharpness. The gold-based spell Ye Changsheng naturally can't, and the only spell he can use now is the lowest-level fireball technique and fire shield, and naturally it is impossible to use it to attach the surname to the Soul Breaking Cone.
Looking down at the bits and pieces of wooden stake that had been cut by the axe, Ye Changsheng found that there were faint black marks on the stake where it touched the Soul Breaking Cone, and when he touched it with his hand, he felt a little hot.
So Ye Changsheng knew that today's Soul Breaking Cone was definitely super extraordinary.
Ye Changsheng immediately decided that this super soul breaking cone would not be sold, but kept for his own use, and gave it a more stylish name, called "Fire Dragon Cone......
After putting away the fire dragon cone, Ye Changsheng felt tired for a while, and using spiritual power to generate flames for a long time to refine weapons was a very big burden on his spirit, and Ye Changsheng's divine sense was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he couldn't help the hard work of two hours in a row, so Ye Changsheng took a shower, threw himself on the small bed and fell asleep.
