The next day.

Yuru set out early in the morning and returned to the valley to look for strong help.

Xiao Shun did not choose to set off immediately.

Most of the villagers in Yongxing Village are very depressed because of the previous hardships of boating. Even though they had already had a beautiful sleep last night, they did not completely replenish their energy.

Therefore, Xiao Shun also cut off his plan to leave today.

Zhang Sheng slowly walked up to him and asked in a low voice: "My benefactor, when will we set off?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shun waved his hand: "Let them continue to rest first. If they are allowed to rush on the road in this state, something may happen."

There is a huge difference between ordinary people and cultivators.

Even though the villagers are natives from the first-class cultivation world, their physical strength is much stronger than that of the indigenous people in the cultivation world.

However, they are still unable to compare with the practitioners.

If the villagers continue to increase their physical load, it would be easy for the young people to say, but those old men and women may not be able to withstand it!

In order to be foolproof, Xiao Shun could only continue to rest around the relatively safe Grand Canyon. It would not be too late to go on a journey after everyone was regaining their strength.

Zhang Sheng had no objection to Xiao Shun’s arrangement.

Now all of them regard each other as their backbone, and their status is second only to that of the old village chief.

After looking around, Zhang Sheng finally fixed his eyes in the direction where Yu Ru left before, and then asked curiously: "My benefactor, what have you been doing with Sister Yu Ru?"

Xiao Shun did not hide anything about this and said bluntly: "I was worried that there would be an accident on the way, so I asked her to go back in advance to find some people to help."

In Zhang Sheng's opinion, such a move is very necessary.

It is undeniable that my benefactor is very powerful.

But this place is the Dark Forest after all, it is the base camp of the ghosts.

If Xiao Shun was the only one, there would naturally be no need to worry about it, but now the benefactor needs to take care of so many ordinary people, it is inevitable that he will be unable to do so.

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng was grateful and said: "It's really thanks to my benefactor this time. Otherwise, we would probably never be able to meet again!"

Xiao Shun has heard too many such words over the past period of time.

Even so, he still repeated the response he had repeated before: "This is all right. Since everyone is human, they should help each other."

Xiao Shun has actually seen the environment of humans in other worlds of cultivation along the way.

In the heavens and all realms, there will be many conflicts and frictions in any cultivator in the world.

However, in the underworld, this phenomenon is very rare.

The reason is very simple, mainly because the number of humans in this place is very small, and most of them are under the oppression of ghosts and ghost cultivators.

In such an environment, only by joining together to keep warm will they improve their quality of life to a certain extent. If they continue to consume internally, there is only the path of destruction.

To be honest, Xiao Shun actually likes this pattern of human interaction in the underworld.

Because in many cases, although disputes can quickly increase a person or power, it is not a favorite way after all.

If the conflicts among practitioners can be greatly reduced, the cultivation environment between them will become easier and safer.

Being able to practice and sense the great way of heaven and earth without distraction is definitely something that many practitioners dream of, but it’s a pity that they can’t help themselves as soon as they enter the world.

Just as Xiao Shun sighed secretly, Zhang Sheng, who was standing beside him, seemed a little reluctant to speak but stopped.

Xiao Shun quickly noticed the other party's abnormality and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Facing his bright gaze, Zhang Sheng shook his head in a panic: "No, nothing, I just want to tell my beloved something, but I feel a little abrupt."

Seeing Zhang Sheng's appearance like this, Xiao Shun was a little amused and said, "Haha, if you have anything to say, I will never refuse if I can help."

Since all his words have been said, Zhang Sheng can only put his thoughts into words.

"That's right. I heard that Sister Yu Ru said that she became a cultivator under the training of her benefactor, so I wanted to beg my benefactor with shamelessness and let me be like the girl."

Xiao Shun asked lightly: "Do you want to become a cultivator too?"

Zhang Sheng nodded without hesitation: "Yes, as long as people live here, no one does not have such dreams in their hearts, because only after becoming cultivators can we truly have the strength to change our destiny."

His words almost expressed everyone's voice.

There is no way, many people have experienced a lot of oppression from the moment they were born.

This is the common survival status of humans in the underworld.

Even an existence like the Human Emperor was actually just an inconspicuous little character before he was making his mark, and no one paid attention to him at all.

Over time, an idea has been rooted in the hearts of many people.

Becoming a cultivator is definitely the goal that ordinary people pursue throughout their lives.

Unfortunately, the number of cultivators in the underworld is very rare. Except for the wealthy families in the Human Imperial City, the rest of the humans living in the wilderness will never even meet a cultivator in their lifetime.

Since Zhang Sheng learned that Yu Ru discovered the adventure, he had made some effort and wanted to practice with Xiao Shun and become a person who could stand up in the future.

At this moment, he knelt down in front of Xiao Shun with a plop.

"My benefactor, please teach me the supernatural powers. No matter what hardships I experience, I will not suffer a word of suffering, and I am willing to be a cow and a horse for you."

Seeing this, Xiao Shun patted Zhang Sheng on the shoulder: "Get up!"

To be honest, Zhang Sheng has missed the best age to practice.

At the same age as the other party, it is impossible to lay a solid foundation through his own efforts.

After all, once humans reach a certain age, their roots and bones will be completely combined, and even the dantian will be completely unable to be opened due to acquired reasons.

It is definitely a very challenging thing to use normal methods to make Zhang Sheng a cultivator. Even Xiao Shun may not be sure to achieve this level.

Of course, besides normal means, he actually has other ways to help Zhang Sheng.

However, once the foundation-building pill is used, Zhang Sheng will be very different from other cultivators from now on, and the achievements he can achieve in the future will be very limited.

Xiao Shun felt that he should inform the other party in advance.

"You have missed the best age for cultivation, so you cannot use conventional means to make you a cultivator. However, after using elixirs to build the foundation successfully, it means that the path you can take in the future is very limited. Even so, are you willing to become a cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sheng did not answer this question as soon as possible.

Any normal person doesn’t want to go higher and see further by himself.

However, once you take the pill mentioned by your benefactor, you will always be able to be a second-rate cultivator. Such a thing really makes Zhang Sheng a little embarrassed.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Sheng would eventually choose to compromise with fate.

After all, this is his only way to become stronger!

"My benefactor, I've considered it. Even if my cultivation level will be greatly limited after taking the pill, it's better to be like this mediocre for the rest of my life." Zhang Sheng said firmly.

A real man can bend and stretch, and he will win bravely.

This sentence is expressed vividly in Zhang Sheng.

Xiao Shun was also very pleased that he could have such a spirit.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Shun took out a small porcelain bottle from the jade ring, slowly poured out a pill from it, and handed him directly to Zhang Sheng on the side.

Looking at the elixir the size of a fruit core in his hand, Zhang Sheng asked carefully.

"My benefactor, what is this?"

Xiao Shun explained: "This is the foundation-building pill. As long as you take it, you can quickly expel the dantian and tendons and veins, and then start to absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth."

After hearing this, Zhang Sheng did not hesitate for a moment and stuffed the pill into his mouth.

The next moment, a warm current exploded from his body.
