Chapter 1: Young Master of the Ma Family

"It's so boring!" Ma Rui lay lazily in the rattan chair, sighing to the sky.

More than two months have passed since he encountered the strange old man in white coat that day, or rather, it has been seventy days since Ma Rui escaped from the endless darkness and woke up again.

Ma Rui didn't know how long he had been falling in that darkness. Time and space seemed to not exist at all. It seemed like he had experienced a century, but also like he woke up in a dream. When Ma Rui's spirit was about to collapse, a dazzling white light appeared and then opened his eyes.

Now we are in a place called Qiyuan Continent, which is closely related to the ancient Chinese that Ma Rui remembers, including architectural style, language and even the society of clan system.

The difference is that there is a cultivation civilization that is completely different from the Earth's technological civilization! Human beings can gain powerful power by practicing Taoism. Advance can fly to the sky and escape the earth, and retreat can strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives.

The sects that master the practice methods and know the way of cultivation have the right to speak in this world and rule the vast Qiyuan Continent.

This is the place called the small world by the old man. When Ma Rui was sent to this point, he did not come out of thin air. He jumped out of the stone like Sun Wukong, but just traveled through consciousness and traveled to this sixteen-year-old boy who was also called Ma Rui, and became a human again.

The original owner of this body is considered a rich second generation. He fell from a tall building with an accident two months ago. When he woke up, he had become Ma Rui from the earth.

Relying on the reason why he "breaked his head", Ma Rui has been waiting for an opportunity to observe in the past two months, silently obtaining information from the crowd around him, carefully restraining his words and deeds, and integrating into the current world without any danger.

Although he was nominally exiled, in Ma Rui's opinion, life was not difficult, and he was even quite free and easy.

The Fenglin Town where you are located has a population of tens of thousands, mainly controlled by the Ma clan. As the second son of the second-ranked Ma clan and the young master of the Ma clan, Ma Rui enjoys a status and wealth that completely surpasses Ma Rui in the Earth era.

Needless to say, the food is open and the clothes are coming, the entourage guards are constantly escorting them, and there are piles of maids who are warming the bed and pinching their feet. Even though they are young, they have no real power, and their comfortable life is far better than the loser on Earth who has failed to go on blind dates for hundreds of times.

The only thing that is unwilling to accept is the ups and downs of the way to cultivate truth.

From the first day of time travel, Ma Rui couldn't wait to devote himself to magical cultivation. First, out of curiosity, Ma Rui, who has peeked at some literary works of cultivation, naturally hopes to experience flying and escaping in person. Second, as the old man in white coat said, the so-called exile, atonement, and a complete return, although ambiguous, should have more or less connection with cultivation.

Unfortunately, the successive blows made Ma Rui gradually begin to doubt his life.

In his previous life, Ma Rui had never had any talent that was different from ordinary people, nor had he enviable luck. With ordinary results, ordinary achievements, ordinary achievements, ordinary life, Ma Rui guessed that he would always live as plain as water until he died peacefully.

The appearance of the old man in white coat broke the quiet world. Ma Rui thought that his opportunity had come! After traveling through time, the life of making a name for himself seemed to be realized! Fighting against the evil demons and stepping on Lingxiao, the dream of changing colors in the world in every move is about to become a reality!

However, after traveling through time, I found that even if I was reborn once, it would still be useless.

Cultivation qualifications, average.

In Qiyuan Continent, even a three-year-old Huangkou child knows the division of the realm of cultivation, such as refining qi, building foundation, forming elixirs, Nascent Soul, leaving the body, distracting the spirit, combining thoughts, Mahayana, passing through tribulation, and the number of the ninth level of destiny. Each realm is divided into the last three periods of junior high school, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, and incrementally. Although some evil ways like to change the names of one or two of them to show their unique sects, they change the soup and not the medicine, and the southeast, northwest and northeast are still southeast, and calling your father to a father cannot improve your seniority.

The original owner of this body has been practicing since he was ten years old and has been in the middle stage of Qi refining for six years.

For reference, when his compatriot Ma Xiang was sixteen years old, he was already in the late stage of foundation building. Now he entered the Dan Ke period at the age of twenty. He is an outstanding genius in Fenglin City, and Ma Rui is just one of the many people.

Cultivating physical fitness is average.

The world is divided into yin and yang, and all things are divided into five elements. Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and the five elements, regardless of height, have their own advantages and attributes.

However, the physical condition of practitioners is divided into high and low. There are rumors that the five elements have monsters who are inclusive and monsters who are constantly complementing each other. Of course, most of them are ordinary people like Ma Rui who have no characteristics in single attributes.

Practice skills, general.

The so-called way of cultivation has a way to follow. Although the goals are the same, the way is divided into advantages and disadvantages. You can walk on both country roads and highways, so the speed is different.

The same qualifications and physique determine the speed of cultivation is the practice method.

Although the Ma clan is dominant in Fenglin Town, and is released into the entire Qiyuan Continent, the Ma clan is only the last ruling class. Fenglin Town belongs to the jurisdiction of the cultivation sect-Shanhe Sect. The Ma clan needs to pay enough money and materials every year to reproduce and survive under the wings of the Shanhe Sect, and be protected by it, and avoid being harmed by war monsters.

The Shanhe Sect is only a second-rate force in the entire Qiyuan Continent, and the larger and higher-end cultivation sects control more vast areas.

It can be imagined that under the layers of exploitation of power, Ma Rui could only come into contact with the cultivation techniques.

The cultivation environment is average.

The way of cultivation pays attention to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Spiritual energy is the basis of cultivators. Only with spiritual energy can one refine qi and transform into spirits, and then refine the spirit and return to emptiness. Finally, refine the emptiness and the Tao. A abundant spiritual energy environment will make the way of cultivation twice the result with half the effort. There are many names for these places with abundant spiritual energy, such as the blessing land of the cave, the spiritual realm, the Feng Shui treasure land, etc.

The land with scarcity is precious, and the spiritual energy is very rare compared to the vast Qiyuan Continent. It has long been occupied by various cultivation sects, and has been intrigued by intrigues. Some of the blessings of the cave are even occupied by terrifying monsters. Even the cultivation sects can only sigh, not the resources that the small Ma clan dares to covet.

Finally, the relevant training materials can only be described as scarcity.

Not to mention the treasures of heaven and earth that only exist in legends, but just talking about the prescriptions and elixirs that can increase spiritual energy are all the key points of the plunder of the cultivation sect, and it is not the turn of Ma Rui to enjoy it.

Although the Ma clan was the lord of a land, he found that the materials that could refine alchemy and make medicine could only pay tribute to Shanhe Sect in order to get family peace.

Therefore, for Ma Rui, his cultivation qualifications are not good and lack other external conditions, so the way to practice is difficult, and there is almost no hope of practicing the true self as step by step.

Ma Rui also thought of using the Earth civilization to perform his skills on the Qiyuan Continent. Unfortunately, he racked his brains to find that what he had studied hard for sixteen years was useless. The cultivator who was leaping in the clear sky did not need Newton to explain the gravity, and the rising flames of the sharp sword edge had nothing to do with the laws of thermodynamics. Everything on the Qiyuan Continent could not be explained by science on the earth.

As for the idea of ​​making guns and cannons, it is even more fantastic. Even with engineering knowledge, what's the use of without mechanical craftsmanship? Even a few days ago, Ma Rui, who couldn't ride a horse, could not make a bicycle for transportation. There were no rubber tires and no lathe stamping, and the chain could not be made. Talking about reasonable structure was just a joke.

The ideal is full, but the reality is too cruel. Even if you travel through time, you can't change your life. This is a big blow to Ma Rui, and it is becoming increasingly depressed and gradually giving up on struggle.

"Master Ma Rui." The maid behind him observed his expression and saw the young master's displeasure, and spoke out to relieve his boredom: "Are we still going to hunt for treasure today?"

"No." Ma Rui kept lying, his tone full of frustration, "The feet were all out of calluses and there were no hair!"

Seeing that his cultivation was hopeless, Ma Rui began to work hard and mediocrely search for the legendary "opportunities" two days ago, looking forward to the plot in the time travel novel to interpret it on himself.

Several limited cellars, storage rooms, and even collapsed old houses were searched, ranging from storage cabinets to jewelry boxes, and even bottles and jars of pickled vegetables, Ma Rui held back the stench and opened them one by one to check. If it weren't for the fear of being beaten by the elders of the clan, Ma Rui would like to smash the statues of the Ma family's ancestors to see if there were any treasures hidden inside.

As expected, the bamboo basket was in vain. Not to mention the magical rings hiding the soul, even antiques that looked like they were damaged because they were not well preserved, so it was even more impossible to hide any ancient relics.

If the hardware has no hope, then look for software.

The Ma clan collection hall, which stores notes on various mental techniques to practice, has been turned into a mess by Ma Rui in the past two days. Ma Ruizai has carefully explored the secrets of practicing mental techniques on the bookshelf, under the bookshelf, and even the floor partitions. Those who can understand, those who cannot understand, those who have pictures, and those who have no pictures, have read all the various mental techniques one by one, but still cannot find the secret to turning decay into magic.

Think about it, the entire Ma clan has been prosperous for more than a hundred years, with nearly a thousand people. There is no reason why good things are bad and cheap, waiting for Ma Rui, a time traveler, to discover it. Besides, the Ma clan has never produced any big figure who is famous in history and earth-shaking. How could he leave behind something that can fight against the will of heaven and change life for Ma Rui?

Ma Rui even suspected that he had traveled over to be a supporting role in the novel. Maybe one day the protagonist suddenly jumped out and killed him as a villain!

So I asked the maid if I had bullied any unsuccessful poor boy, had I robbed any unlucky fiancée of any unlucky guy, or offended any nervous cousin from a distance?

Fortunately, there aren't either.

It’s not because Ma Rui is kind, but because of his low strength, it’s not his turn to bully others.

Of course, no one in Fenglin Town can bully Ma Rui.

His father, Ma Yue, was in charge of the financial power of the Ma clan and was the second most important figure in the family; his mother, Tang Can, came from the stronger Tang clan and was a descendant of a famous family, and had a unique status; and his brother, Ma Xiang, was a younger generation of cultivation genius in the clan. He entered the Dan-King stage at the age of 20. Although he had no official position or position at the moment, no one knew that Ma Xiang's future would be bright in the future, and no one in Fenglin Town was willing to provoke this family.

In this growth environment, as a young master, Ma Rui can still enjoy the glory and wealth envied by ordinary people even though his strength is low.

I have to say that as a rich second generation, Ma Rui has a pretty good character.

He is neither addicted to alcohol, nor arrogant, and his only hobby is eating. Ma Rui even suspects that this fat and fat body has a cardiovascular disease at a young age and can get gasp after walking a few steps.

At the same time, Ma Rui couldn't figure out that the food in this world is so bad that it is even worse than the dark food in the university cafeteria. Some people like to eat such difficult foods.

To be fair, the ingredients in Qiyuan Continent are quite good. Wild game delicacies are not uncommon in clan territory, and there are all seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Unfortunately, the cooking skills here are not as good as such good ingredients. In other words, there is no so-called cooking skills in Qiyuan Continent. Apart from stewing boiled water, it is roasted on the heat. The seasonings are only salt and plums, as well as honey that rich people can enjoy. The chef is extremely heavy, and Ma Rui's eyebrows are almost gone in the past two months.

"What to eat tonight?" Ma Rui looked at the sky and asked the maid behind him at a suitable time.

Obviously it’s not that Ma Rui really wants to eat the dark food here, but if he doesn’t ask, the maid will make a fuss. Is the young master feeling uncomfortable? Should he find a doctor to take his pulse?

Dark cuisine is terrible enough. Ma Rui doesn't want to provoke the decoctions made of strange medicinal herbs.
