Primordial Era: The Holy Maiden Shiji, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty

None of them could pose a real threat to him, but he didn't want to waste time. A single success would be enough, there was no need to try again.

The chaotic world, the vast star field, the upper state cultivation world, a vast and boundless world.

In the ancient Yuan continent, outside a remote mountain village in the northern border of Xuanlong Country, a tragedy is unfolding.

"Run, Ache, stay alive and avenge us!" A middle-aged woman was tied up tightly with hemp ropes and unfortunately tripped and fell to the ground. She looked forward and wanted to turn back to save her son, shouting with all her might.

“Mom…” Lin Che was extremely anxious when he saw his mother being captured. He wanted to rush back to save her, but he was surrounded by several strong horse thieves and couldn’t escape at all.

“Haha, we’ve captured your mother. You and your family will all stay here today!” A big man came over with a fierce smile and slashed at Lin Che with a knife. He laughed as he slashed, as if he had seen a delicious prey.

At this critical moment, a long sword cut through the sky like lightning, flashing an icy light, and directly pierced the big man's throat.

The sword was pitch black in color, emitting a heart-pounding aura. A huge lunar star was carved on the sword, making it look extremely domineering.

"Ah!" The big man's eyes widened, he covered his throat, his face full of horror.

Immediately, blood gushed out like a fountain and the big man's body fell to the ground with his eyes open.

This sword is the artifact that Shiji used to make for himself - the Chaos Sword! Now, he is already a Hunyuan Sage, and the Chaos Sword is even more powerful in his hands. However, using it to deal with these mortals seems a bit of a waste.

"Mom..." Lin Che was stunned. He didn't pay attention to how his savior appeared. He just stared at his mother's cold body with tears in his eyes. His family had lived in the village for more than ten years and had never been bullied. However, the sudden attack by the bandits destroyed their family.

His father died heroically to protect him and his mother; now, his mother also died tragically at the hands of bandits to protect him. He became a lonely man, the only one left alive in the whole village.

"Are you a monk?" The leader of the horse thieves looked at Shi Ji who fell from the sky, and his face showed an expression of fear that was difficult to conceal. They were just ordinary warriors, how could they be compared with monks?

However, he was full of doubts: How could those high-ranking monks come to this remote border area? Is there some unknown secret hidden here? He was not sure, because Shiji's aura was too strong, which made him feel afraid and dared not provoke easily.

"Kill them."

Shi Ji ignored the question from the leader of the horse thieves, nor did he pay attention to the fearful looks of the dozens of horse thieves. He slowly walked towards Lin Che and handed him the sword.

However, Lin Che seemed to be in a state of dismay. He did not even try to catch the sword, and let it fall to the ground. Shi Ji said calmly, "Cheer up. I believe your parents in heaven would not want you to remain depressed like this."

"Yes." Shiji's words seemed to have a magical power, which made Lin Che, who was only a teenager, feel an inexplicable power in his heart. He picked up the sword from the ground, tightly grasped the Chaos Sword in his hand, and nodded solemnly.

However, he did not immediately do what Shiji said, but looked up and asked: "You... who are you? Why are you helping me?"

Lin Che's eyes were full of purity and doubt, and he was obviously a child who came from a mountain village. Shiji smiled and said, "My name is Shiji. As for why I help you, it's because I want to do it, just because my strength allows it. But now, I hope you can avenge your parents with your own hands."

“Yes.” Lin Che nodded firmly.

"Damn it, even if you are a cultivator, there are so many of us, are we still afraid of you?" The leader of the horse thieves suppressed his fear of cultivators, because he saw that Shiji, the cultivator, did not seem to be very old, and his strength might not be as strong as he imagined.

So, he gave an order and led dozens of horse thieves behind him, rushing up with weapons waving, and pounced on Shiji.

Shiji looked around, a smile on his face, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

To be honest, with his current cultivation level, even if he suppressed his strength to only one billionth of his own, facing these vulnerable horse thieves, he could make them all fall down with just a glance.

"Bang..." In the blink of an eye, all the horse thieves fell to the ground, and none of them could escape.

If you take a closer look, you will find that they all have a needle-like object on their necks, tightly inserted into their throats. This is the cause of their deaths.

“Ah!” Lin Che was so shocked to see how powerful his savior was. He looked at Shi Ji with eyes full of shock and awe.

“Thank you.” Lin Che lowered his head and said respectfully.

Then, he presented the Chaos Sword with both hands.

“It’s just a piece of cake. I’m leaving first.” After Shi Ji took the Chaos Sword from Lin Che, she waved her hand lightly and the Chaos Sword disappeared into the air.

"This..." Looking at the Chaos Sword that disappeared out of thin air, Lin Che shook his hand, feeling that everything was so magical. He looked at Shi Ji's departing back and couldn't help but run over, "Senior, please accept me, I want to be your apprentice!"

Shi Ji smiled and turned to look at Lin Che who was kneeling on the ground in front of him. He then stopped smiling and said seriously, "Oh? Why do you want to be my disciple?"

"I want to become strong and powerful. I don't want to watch my relatives and friends die in front of me anymore. I want to protect them and guard them well." Lin Che pressed his forehead to the ground, tears sparkled in the corners of his eyes, and the tears fell to the ground. He clenched his fists and his body trembled slightly.

If he had the same strength as Shiji, his parents would not have died at the hands of horse thieves in order to protect him.

He hated! He hated his past cowardice and incompetence!
However, he knew that no matter how much he hated it, he couldn't change this cruel fact. But now, an opportunity to become stronger was in front of him, and he was unwilling to fall into depravity.

Just like what Shiji said just now, it was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard and making him understand what he should do.

Looking at Lin Che kneeling in front of him, Shi Ji was silent for a moment and then said, "If you want to become my disciple, it is far from enough to just rely on hard work. Besides, your talent is not outstanding. If we are lucky enough to meet again, I will consider accepting you. But now, forget it. I like to be alone."

After saying that, Shiji turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from Lin Che's sight. Only one sentence was left in the air: "You are the most persevering child I have ever seen. Come on! I look forward to seeing the day when you succeed."

After he finished speaking, Shiji's figure gradually blurred and finally disappeared completely into the horizon. Lin Che stood there in a daze, like a sculpture, staring at the place where Shiji had just stood, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement. He couldn't believe that the person who had just stood there was now gone without a trace.

At the same time, Shiji, who left the small mountain village, did not choose to fly, but walked steadily. He was like a leisurely traveler, enjoying the scenery along the way. As a person who has reached the realm of Hunyuan Saint, there are few things in the world that can attract his attention and concern. At this moment, he is more eager to travel in the world, looking forward to a sudden enlightenment at some point.

"The area ahead is the forbidden area of ​​Baiyou Sect, please leave immediately!"

At this moment, a man in green clothes, with a long sword on his waist and long flowing hair suddenly appeared and blocked Shiji's way. His face was full of vigilance, and he was obviously surprised and uneasy about Shiji's appearance.

"Hmm?" Shiji raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the man in front of her calmly.

The man was frightened by Shiji's indifferent glance and swallowed his saliva. He felt that Shiji exuded an extremely dangerous aura, which was not possessed by ordinary people. Moreover, Shiji's attitude revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if his orders could not be refused.

The man had never felt this kind of aura even from his own master.

"Who are you?" Shiji looked at the man and asked calmly.

"I am Yun Xing, the direct disciple of Baiyou Sect. Who are you? Why did you break into my Baiyou Sect's territory?" Yun Xing frowned. The young man in front of him gave him a feeling of being unfathomable.

If he knew that Shiji's real age was as high as hundreds of thousands of years old, he would probably be so surprised that his jaw would drop.

"Okay." Shiji did not act aggressively because of his strong strength. After listening to Yunxing's words, he turned around and walked away.

Yun Xing looked at Shi Ji's departing back and scratched his head, his heart full of doubts. He didn't understand what Shi Ji meant. Was she deliberately testing him, waiting for him to reveal a flaw and then attack him?
However, when Shiji's back completely disappeared from his sight, he suddenly realized that the other party had really left like that.

"What a weird guy." Yun Xing shook his head, muttered to himself, then turned and left.

Shiji didn't know that her behavior had made her look weird in the eyes of others.

After leaving Baiyou Sect, Shiji walked slowly towards the east. When he came to this world, he knew there was a town called Yuncheng nearby. The area of ​​this town was much smaller than other places in Xuanlong Country, and it could only be regarded as a small border town.

However, because it is close to the land of all monsters, Yuncheng's business is extremely booming.

A large number of practitioners flock here almost every month, and this city is home to all kinds of practitioners.

Whether it is a sect disciple coming here to train, or an independent cultivator who wants to seek wealth and fame through danger, this is an excellent place.

Shiji's eyes fell on the boundless land in front of him, but his view was blocked by the towering buildings. He walked into the city without stopping.

The streets in the city are bustling with people coming and going.

Many people gathered on the street. They looked like practitioners, but their clothes were different. This was obviously a place where practitioners traded and bought treasures.

Shiji walked along the street for a while and stopped in front of a pharmacy. He looked up and saw a plaque hanging outside the door with three magnificent characters on it: Baicaotang.

Although this pharmacy is not top-notch, it is considered mid-range.

This is normal, after all, most people can't afford the pills here. Moreover, although the owner of this store is just a casual cultivator, his cultivation has reached the Golden Core Stage, and he is a first-class casual cultivator in Yuncheng. He is powerful, so he is not afraid of anyone causing trouble.

This also made the elixirs sold in Baicaotang very precious, and the price was higher than that of ordinary elixirs. Even if an ordinary casual cultivator spent all his family property, he might not be able to buy a healing elixir.

However, Shiji didn't take it to heart. To him, he was just here for a stroll.

He walked straight into Baicaotang, originally thinking that the prices here were high and that it should be sparsely populated. But he didn't expect that it was very lively here, and there was a faint smell of medicine everywhere.

Shiji looked around and found that there were rows of counters at the back of Baicao Hall. There was a table behind the counters. At this moment, a female monk was busy making elixirs for a man. Opposite her stood two other slightly older monks.

"Sir, what kind of elixir do you want? We have various kinds of elixirs for you to choose from." The female monk should be a staff member of Baicaotang. When she saw Shiji come in, she immediately came up to him with a smile and a very enthusiastic attitude.

Shi Ji nodded when he heard this, then took out a piece of jade from his space ring and handed it to the female monk as her introduction fee.

When the female monk saw the jade stone that Shiji handed over, she was stunned. This is a top-grade spiritual stone! When did such a rich man come to Yuncheng?

"I wonder what kind of elixir the young master needs?" The female monk suppressed the shock in her heart and asked with a smile on her face.

Shiji thought for a moment and said, "I need a seventh-level spiritual herb."

After hearing what Shiji said, the female monk's face flashed with embarrassment. She looked at Shiji apologetically and said, "Excuse me, sir, the highest grade of spiritual herbs we have here is only level 5."

After saying that, she reluctantly handed the top-grade spirit stone in her hand to Shiji, wanting to return it to him.

Shiji looked at this scene, and although his face showed no expression, he felt a little funny in his heart. He didn't expect that this woman had good character and could resist the temptation brought by the top-grade spirit stone.

"I never take back anything I give away. I'll give you this top-grade spirit stone as your introduction fee."

So generous! The female monk looked at Shiji, it didn't seem like she was joking, but she was really very casual. She was a little confused. To be honest, even if she sold herself, she probably couldn't afford such a top-grade spirit stone.

"If that's the case, then I can only follow your advice, sir." (End of this chapter)
