Poison God's Heritage

Chapter 2: Plans to Execute


The motive force dropped me off at a village that was constructed round a large river. It was undoubtedly one of many largest ones I’ve seen in my life. Its waters, nonetheless, weren’t raging, however the present was robust anyway. Folks had been transferring about within the village, some farming, some had been promoting meals and a few had been fishing or simply strolling round casually. This village seemed like a spot the place one might retire.

There have been just a few youngsters taking part in with sticks formed like swords, taking part in warrior. And on the far aspect of the village was one other group of barely older youngsters, most likely the age of 12 to 14, doing martial arts coaching and practices. This place seemed like a peaceable space that one might spend their time in.

I seemed round, attempting to determine what to do with my life. The present me has no household or relation to anybody right here, so I’ll must get by, on my own.

“What’s the younger Immortal doing right here?” A person requested, turning round, it was an previous man, of about seventy years. He seemed weakened and feeble, however a gracious smile was plastered on his face.

“I have been despatched right here,” I replied.

“Has the Xuan Fu Sect assigned you right here for a mission? If that’s the case, I wish to assist, I am the Village Head. Something you would like I might provide it to you, Younger Immortal.”

“Immortal?” I replied.

“Are you not, you might be sporting the Xuan Fu Sect’s Internal disciples garments.”

“Oh, these” I mentioned as I seemed down, with a wry smile on my face I answered, “I have been kicked out of it. I haven’t got anything to put on.”

The Village Head tilted his head, questioning what I used to be speaking about. However after just a few extra moments of pondering, he mentioned. “Come, comply with me.” And so I did, in any case, I used to be new right here and had no concept what’s going on.

The village head took me to the again of the village, there was a big hill overseeing everything of the village and there was a small shed on high of it. Proper behind the shed was a big yew tree that shaded the small home from the solar.

“The Xuan Fu Sec was as soon as our patrons, they’ve assisted us and aided us. And now, it’s my obligation to return a few of that Karma again. You may dwell right here, and I’ll have individuals bringing you meals.” The pinnacle mentioned.

“Wait, aren’t you being a bit too beneficiant, I imply I did not do something to deserve this,” I replied.

The previous man smiled and mentioned, “Sure, I do know, however Karma have to be repaid, for all on this world is sure in a circle, and all that’s given is taken again. In the future, maybe you shall finish this Karma cycle, if not, one other will.”

I had completely no concept what the person was speaking about, however since this was a free home and free meals in a foregone world, I’d be too silly to say no it.

“Then thanks, I am going to take you up in your provide.” I replied to the person then I added, “However I do not even know your title.”

“My title is Wang Nil,” the previous man smiled and mentioned, “You may relaxation and observe your martial arts right here, I’ll head again to the village as I’ve many issues to are inclined to.”

The previous man excused himself and left me on my own.

I seemed on the shed and puzzled, this place was too dilapidated, the wooden was rotten in lots of locations, and the roof had largely caved in, it was higher than staying within the open, however not by a lot. Nonetheless, with just a few nails and picket planks, I believe I might repair it up.

‘However the place can I get these? I additionally want instruments, a noticed, and a hammer not less than. I ought to most likely test if there’s a blacksmith on this village.’

I traced again my footsteps till I reached the village, and as I had feared there have been no smiths on this place. However there was a store within the village.

As soon as I moved deeper a rancid odor assaulted my nostril, a person simply threw a bucket filled with crap on the street from his window, if I used to be a step too shut, I might have had shit throughout my garments.

After I met eyes with the person, he yelped and slammed his window shut. Maybe he was afraid of the garments I wore.

I walked into the store and checked up on the stuff he had on the market. Most had been grains, dried meals, and a few sweet.

“Good day,” I mentioned.

“Younger Immortal, how can I be of service,” a person answered as he got here hasting in direction of me from exterior the store.

Weirdly sufficient the person was sweating like he was scared shitless.

He seemed like a middle-aged man, time was nonetheless grinding on his face, however he did not look too unhealthy in contrast to a number of the individuals exterior. Maybe being a store proprietor was sufficient to provide him with correct meals and vitamin.

For a second I hesitated, I did not have any cash or something to pay the instruments, however maybe doing a little odd jobs for the individuals right here can award me with just a few cash, so I requested on the thought that I might simply mortgage them.

“I am in search of some instruments, a hammer, an ax, and a noticed when you’ve got them.”

“In fact I do, please wait a second.” The person walked deeper into the store and entered by a closed door.

The person unexpectedly introduced me the supplies.

“Do you’ve some nails? I might use some additionally.”

��Sure,” the person mentioned and introduced a field full of various sized nails. I took a handful of them and positioned them on the counter.

“These ought to do, as for cost…” however earlier than I might even converse, the person waved a hand.

“For the individuals of the Xuan Fu Sect I’d not ask for a cost, these will not be that costly anyway. You possibly can have them.” He mentioned.

I raised my brows; this Xuan Fu sect thingy was fairly helpful.

“Then I am going to take you up in your provide,” I replied and moved out.

I headed again to the hill with a bag filled with supplies to work on my small shed. There was a forest close by and lots of bushes I might use.

Surprisingly, the ache in my joints and physique grew to become much less and fewer obvious, maybe I grew accustomed to it or that my mind started ignoring it. That was useful, I had lots of issues to do.

I began by hacking at a large-sized tree, a number of the youngsters from the village got here to see what I used to be doing. They had been however had been too afraid to get any nearer.

After the primary hack, the ax rattled threatening to crack and break, it was not of dangerous high quality, however by some means the power behind my swing. This physique was stronger than your common man. So, I wanted to regulate the power of every ax blow.

It took me a few swings to know the precise drive wanted to make use of the ax correctly and I hacked the tree down in below a minute.

As soon as the tree was down, I started sawing it, which was surprisingly straightforward because the noticed was sharp and it sliced by the wooden like a sizzling knife by butter. It wasn’t that the instruments had been sharp, or the tree too brittle, however as soon as once more it was I who was too robust to make use of the instruments and risked breaking them as a consequence of carelessness.

After having sheared off a good-sized matching plank, and what took me most likely an hour or two of labor I lumped them over my shoulder and headed to the shed. I wanted to get it completed earlier than dusk.

As soon as I used to be again, I tore off just a few of the rotten wooden, then changed them with new planks. The hammer and the nail did a terrific job in securing their place, and after one other hour I had a good place to remain the evening in.

Whereas I used to be working, I did not discover somebody inserting meals at my doorsteps.

I had my fill of rice and a chunk of dried jerky then resumed my work. I wanted to make a mattress to sleep on, because the one inside the home was damaged and had some issues that I did not wish to contact with my naked palms.

I cleared the rubble and cleaned the shed, then positioned a newly made mattress desk inside then bought one of many youngsters,- I say youngsters, however they’re all the identical age as me- to get me some hay. They instantly adopted go well with and bought me some dry hay and a few previous blankets.

Evening quickly got here, I did not have any interplay with anybody. I had stored myself busy this morning simply to evade the laborious fact. I am in a spot the place nobody is aware of who I’m, the place know-how is now not obtainable. The place you possibly can’t activate the AC should you really feel sizzling, and your mattress was manufactured from straw as an alternative of my comfy King Dimension mattress.

I died, this was true, and there’s no altering it. However on the opposite aspect, I am in a cultivation world. I got here right here unknowing of what to do, my future is uncertain, however on the similar time, in this sort of world, one could make their very own future, forge it by their palms. And to do this, I’ve to first have the ability to domesticate.

I’m not totally unaware of the workings, of a lot of these worlds. First off, I’ve been too trusting to the village head, however I used to be nonetheless on my guard, he did not appear to be the kind of one that would have a malicious intent equivalent to any run of the mill character in these tales. Secondly, I’ve heard that my physique had shattered meridians. And in addition, one thing about cultivation deviation. Which means whoever used this physique has failed in circulating the factor that’s known as Non secular Vitality, or the World’s Vitality, Mana, Chakra, or no matter it’s. And as a consequence of his failure, his meridians broke and at the moment are ineffective.

That is undoubtedly the rationale for his loss of life, and I had reincarnated in his physique. This child has labored his physique nicely, it’s robust, extra so than a middle-aged man, most likely twice or thrice extra. Which was benefit.

But when I had been to dwell on this world, like these characters of these tales I’ve examine, I have to sort out the most important downside I’ve proper now, the truth that I’m unable to domesticate. Or flow into this so-called Non secular Vitality in my physique. And to take action, I want a miracle drugs or an elixir. And people value some huge cash.

So, a very powerful query is, how can I get this mentioned cash?

I contemplated and contemplated, over and over, then it hit me like a brick on the top.

“Know-how!” it is simple, it is easy and it is good.

I stood up and went to the instruments the store proprietor had given me. They had been manufactured from tough iron and had been rusty, fairly dangerous high quality. In the event that they had been made out of metal it will have been higher sharper and extra sturdy.

I understand how to make metal, it was in one of many classes I used to attend once I began learning to change into an engineer. Even when this world had metal, I do know the precise proportion, carbon to iron smart and learn how to take advantage of highly effective metal.

Secondly, the sewer system, I simply noticed a person throwing a bucket of shit down the road, that is no good. This can trigger and unfold ailments. Additionally, the water they gave me with the meals was not clear, maybe they drew it off the river, I needed to begin a fireplace and warmth it first.

Thirdly, the river, it is an enormous energy supply if one might use it, constructing a mill there might assist in each grinding wheats, and even making a noticed watermill. Even making a dam. Additionally, a dam, meaning electrical energy, mild, energy. There may be a lot to do, and it is simple to do it. However the very first thing I have to do is to get correct instruments.

Fortunately I’ve the physique to make use of and wield these instruments, I’ve the vitality to make such buildings, and I’ve time and endurance to do them, what else can I do?

I quickly fell asleep, tomorrow was going to be a giant day, the place I am going to want to begin renovating this space.
