Chapter 412 (2/2)
Chu Yunsheng was temporarily arranged to stay at a small hostel in the town, but he didn’t really mind it. He just closed the door and began to concentrate, thinking about how to solve his own problem.
Based on his current situation, although his life force was shared with Dark, Dark had most of his life force, so if he separated himself from Dark, he might die from having not enough life force for himself. But if he didn’t separate himself from Dark, he wouldn’t be able to practice his cultivation.
So the key point was life force. Chu Yunsheng did not really know what it was, he just simply called it life force. But he also felt extremely strange that despite being such an important element, the senior pract.i.tioner did not mention a single word of it in the book?
Chu Yunsheng could not believe that the senior pract.i.tioner did not know anything about its existence. Even he who had just reached Yuan Tian stage three had already felt it, let alone the senior pract.i.tioner.
But why did he never mention it in the book?
No matter how Chu Yunsheng thought about it, he still could not figure out the reason why. But there was one thing that he was sure of, it was that as his cultivation progressed, his Lifeforce would also gradually recover. He was turned into an old man and then a skeleton-like person when he sealed Dark, but slowly he had returned back to what he used to look like. It indicated that at least life force could be restored.
But then how to speed up restoring his life force became another problem.
Having failed to figure out how to solve the problem, Chu Yunsheng took out one thing from his armor. It was the jade pendant that he found in the ruined city. He put it inside the book and then slowly fell asleep. During the sleep, he faintly felt that it seemed like sleeping would also be able to help him recover his life force, so it made him even more confused.
When Chu Yunsheng woke up, he did not carry on trying to figure out his problem again. Thinking that the town chief and his son should have already obtained an answer, he left his room and went outside.
However, as soon as he got outside, he b.u.mped into a man: “Brother, I sensed something from you, would you like me to predict your future?” said the man.
Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second. Apart from the witch who he had met before he arrived in Jin Ling city, this was the second superst.i.tious person he met since the beginning of the dark age. “If you can answer one of my questions, not only will I let you predict my future, I will give you some food.” Chu Yunsheng said indifferently.
“Brother, you can ask me as many questions as you want, I know everythi-” Bai Ertiao patted his chest and said.
“Just one question. Why do humans need to eat?” Chu Yunsheng interrupted him and said.
“Brother, you have asked the right person! If you asked some other people, I can guarantee that they will not be able to answer your question correctly. Only I, Wait, wait…. Where are you going….” in fact Bai Ertiao didn’t really know how to answer this question, he was just pretending that he knew how to answer and trying to say as many things as he could to confuse Chu Yunsheng. However, he did not expect that Chu Yunsheng would leave straight away.
“Answer my question! Or I am leaving now, I don’t have time to waste here.” Chu Yunsheng said coldly.
“Okay… okay…. well… ” Bai Ertiao paused for a second and tried to search through his memory to find out anything that he could use to fool the man in front of him. Seeing Chu Yunsheng wanted to leave again, he quickly said, “I think you have asked the wrong question. You should not ask why humans need to eat. Instead, you should put focus on the things that humans eat. Think about it, what do we eat? Meat, fish, vegetables et cetera. Do you know what those are? No matter if they are animals or plants, they are all living creatures, they are organic… according to my ancestor, life feeds on life…” looking at the man in front of him he began to knit his brows, Bai Ertiao laughed secretly. It meant that his words fooled the young man.
“You don’t need to predict my future, but my words still count. Follow me, let me get you some food.” Although Chu Yunsheng knew that the man standing in front of him was bulls.h.i.+tting, his words triggered something in his mind.
He faintly felt that based on the theory of the food chain, there might be a hidden life chain behind the world they see, and it involved the origin of death and life. Chu Yunsheng suddenly had a chill down his spin. ‘Is this the reason why the senior pract.i.tioner did not mention life force in the book?”
“Okay, brother, if you don’t need it. That is fine, but I have other things that I need to talk to you about.” Bai Ertiao glanced around and said secretly.
“What is it?” Chu Yunsheng asked.
“Brother, you probably don’t know. You have caused quite a stir in our town. So the chief and his son are planning to use a honey trap on you. I have overheard everything.” Bai Ertiao smiled proudly.
“Honeytrap? What do they want?” Chu Yunsheng was confused.
“Yes, honeytrap. They wanted to use Qiao Xiaowan, the most beautiful girl in our town to… wait… wait for me…” seeing Chu Yunsheng began to walk away, he immediately followed.
“Brother, if you don’t like this, I also have another thing I need to tell you. There is a big mountain col 10 miles away from the town in the north. Inside the mountain col, there is a gigantic mountain-like tree that no one knows when it appeared. That tree is very strange. It bears white fruits, and although the fruits are slightly toxic, it is much better than the mycelium we found outside the spore forest. The old farmers have already tried them. Having a small amount of it would not only fill your hunger, but it could also be used as medicine. They are truly magical fruits. Originally, the chief and his son had control over the tree, however, one day, a group of strange vicious monsters appeared in the mountain, those monsters fed on the mosquito-like creatures that live inside the tree, and they completely took over the control of that place, so…”
