Chapter 1: Chapter 1: This Disciple Desires to Depart the Sect!
I opened my eyes and located myself in a tiny room with stone partitions and some items of furnishings. There was solely a mattress, a desk, and a chair. The desk and chair have been picket, and the mattress seemed something however comfy.
My head was spinning and I felt a surge of ache that made me gasp. I clutched my head with each arms, hoping to ease the agony, but it surely was ineffective.
It solely stopped when a flood of reminiscences rushed into my thoughts, merging my outdated self with my new one.
On Earth, I used to be James, a grocery store employee with no prospects for myself or my single mother. It was a dead-end job, and I escaped actuality by studying books, particularly cultivation novels.
They fascinated me at first, with their unique settings, magic techniques, and thrilling adventures. They have been in contrast to something I had learn earlier than.
However after some time, all of them appeared the identical. The novelty wore off and I grew bored.
How did I die? Hit by a automobile. The motive force was most likely drunk or some shit.
Why did I get reincarnated into the physique of Tian Li, a cultivator from the Cloud Sect? I had no thought. I keep in mind feeling a void inside, realizing I’ll by no means see my mother once more.
“Freaking dangerous luck,” I murmured as I kicked the mattress.
I will not lie and say that I by no means fantasized about being reincarnated in a cultivation world. It sounded enjoyable, however I’d by no means observe the identical path as most cultivators.
Domesticate to defy the heavens and reside eternally? Positive, immortality sounded tempting, however spending all day meditating, preventing for survival, and competing in tournaments? No thanks!
And but, right here I used to be, a cultivator named Tian Li within the Cloud Sect, supposedly the strongest sect within the area. What a joke!
From my reminiscences, I knew that the elders have been solely on the Basis Institution stage. How may they be the strongest within the area? They have been simply frogs in a effectively!
“I do not need any a part of this,” I muttered, grabbing my belongings and stuffing them right into a sack. I left my room and headed for Elder Ji.
“Tian Li, are you certain you need to depart the sect? I do know you are caught on the third layer of Qi Condensation, however you possibly can nonetheless enhance in case you work laborious,” a form outdated man mentioned.
Elder Ji was one of many few elders who handled the disciples effectively. He was additionally answerable for most affairs within the Cloud Sect for the reason that Patriarch was hardly ever round.
I seemed him within the eye and bowed. “This disciple is a shame to this grand sect. My presence right here is just losing your assets. Please let me go!”
He sighed and shook his head. “Are you actually certain about this?” He checked out me with pity.
“Junior is bound,” I mentioned, trying him within the eyes. “Junior is aware of methods to plant and maintain animals. I shall discover a land and settle.”
Elder Ji seemed upset, unhappy {that a} disciple would depart the sect, however he nodded. He took out a small leather-based pouch from his pocket and tossed it to me. “Not less than take this cash. The sect doesn’t need an ex-disciple to starve.”
I accepted his variety gesture, bowing to him as soon as once more, and left the sect. No lovely girl was there to cling to me and say, ‘Please, Tian Li, keep! I can’t reside with out you!’
Nobody cared about me. I used to be Tian Li, the talentless child. Not that I used to be mad about it. No, I used to be too comfortable to precise it! The burden had fallen from my shoulders.
No extra countless cultivation nights. No extra boring tournaments. No extra harmful missions! In addition to, I had a sense that the Cloud Sect would ultimately perish. It all the time occurred like that, in all cultivation novels.
What awaited me after leaving the sect’s perimeter was a steep mountain with one path down resulting in a village. That was the village the place I lived, alone. My dad and mom had died, and nobody else wished to stick with me.
I used to be nonetheless getting used to my new physique, however oh my, it was approach higher than what I had earlier than! The sensation of getting limitless vitality, highly effective muscle tissues, and the power to leap larger than something I ever imagined!
It was unbelievable, and that was solely the ability of the third layer of the Qi Condensation realm. I may see why cultivators endured such a boring life for energy, however that was not what I wished!
I ran as quick as I may, feeling the breeze on my face, listening to the sound of birds singing, and seeing the unbelievable surroundings from the mountain prime. The air was recent, pure, completely different from Earth with all its air pollution.
Some villagers noticed me, bowing and saying, “Immortal Li!”
I used to be a mere third layer Qi Condensation cultivator, however for them, abnormal people, I used to be somebody they needed to respect.
The one factor I did was wave again and proceed my journey. I had no thought the place I wished to go, but it surely was actually removed from the Cloud Sect.
A peaceable place to begin up a farm. Sure, that was what I wished. The world was so huge that it was not laborious to discover a place that met my standards, and after touring continuous for 4 days, I discovered simply the place I wished!
“That home proper there,” a middle-aged man with a thick beard mentioned, pointing at a easy home. “It is on the market, and it’s low cost, just one gold coin.”
“Why is it on the market?” I requested.
It was frequent for locations to be haunted or one thing like that, so being cautious was by no means sufficient, particularly when it was THAT low cost.
“There is no story behind it. The one that lived there put it on the market, left, and by no means returned. It occurred twenty years in the past.”
“I see. I’ll take it then.”
“Splendid!”
The person seemed comfortable for lastly having the ability to promote the home. I quickly found the village was named Riverside, and it was a reasonably unknown place with few individuals.
There was nothing there that caught the eye of mortals, and immortals would by no means go there both! It was the right place! The place I seemed for.
The home I purchased was easy, fabricated from oak, with a effectively subsequent to it. It was not the home itself I wished however the plot! The plot was large for a spot so low cost, and that gave me room to plant and maintain animals! That was what I wished!
I keep in mind seeing an enormous toad close to the effectively. It croaked at me in a humorous approach, as if it was saying hello or one thing.
It was love at first sight, “You’ll be known as Massive. T, aka Massive Toad!”
“Croak, croak.” n(-O).v/-ε-.l(-B.)I-/n
My first good friend in that new harmful world. I may already see me and Massive. T caring for our farm.
“I’ll observe my very own path!” I yelled, taking every little thing out.
I felt good after doing it. Massive. T seemed comfortable too. We each returned to Riverside to purchase some seeds and begin our cozy farm!
