Genesis: Starting with Growing Mushrooms

Chapter 357 Choice, New Host

One side raises one person.

This legendary thief's artifact has somehow acquired a capitalist aura upon arriving here.

Liu Jun muttered a complaint and looked at the introduction.

Introduction:

This world is a place where people cultivate all sorts of laws and principles.

The Way of the Sword, the Way of Fire, the Law of Water—all kinds of powers can be strengthened through training.

However, the cultivation systems of these high-ranking cultivators have nothing to do with me, Liu Qingyun.

Because I am an orphan, a street thug.

"Brother, I just saw you pick up some money, right? One hundred taels, right? Everyone who finds it gets a share, give me ten taels."

"nerve!"

"Are you going to split it or not? If not, I'm going to the authorities to report you."

Another day.

"Friend, I just saw you take a stool from someone's inn. Can you share half with me?"

"Damn it? How are we going to divide the chairs?"

"The table legs and the tabletop should each have a share."

Born into a brothel, this is the kind of life I lead every day.

From a young age, I could only do odd jobs in brothels, cheating, swindling, and stealing. I had a slight reputation in the whole town and was disliked by everyone.

These lowly professions were truly despicable. Until I was sixteen, I deliberately bumped into a wandering swordsman in a crowded place and took his money bag.

There was a very profound swordsmanship manual inside, which said that only one in ten thousand could master it, but I learned it after just a few glances.

I knew back then that I might have some talent for cultivation.

And so ambition began to sprout.

"So what if I, Lau Ching-wan, come from a gangster background? I'll climb to the top step by step!"

In order to try my hand at cultivation, I decided to steal more things to acquire resources, become a chivalrous knight, and eventually a high-ranking cultivator.

But that year, I finally stole from the person I shouldn't have.

"Your name is Lau Ching-wan? Do you know who you've messed with?"

He was then relentlessly pursued and fell off a cliff.

After narrowly escaping death, he was hanging from a crooked tree on a cliff face when he unexpectedly entered a tomb and discovered that a highly accomplished Taoist master was buried there.

"The cave adventure really was real!"

"Hahaha, I really am the main character!"

After bowing three times, one can see the various life techniques and unique skills left in the tomb of a master.

1. Thirty-Six Styles of the Mountain-Opening Sword

I created it when I was thirteen, comprehended the laws of the Mountain Opening Sword, and swept across the entire Southern Kingdom.

Features: Bold and powerful, indestructible.

I use this move to compete with the heroes of the South; my swordsmanship is fierce and direct, aiming to overcome skill with brute force.

2. *The Seven Kills of the Soft Sword*

At nineteen, he transformed from hardness to softness, mastering the art of swordsmanship. His moves were as gentle as water, allowing him to roam the world, slaying all the heroes of swordsmanship and defeating all the arrogant geniuses.

Characteristics: Feminine and unpredictable, silent and stealthy.

3. "Eighteen Takes by Cutting Hands"

At the age of twenty-four, he was a lone swordsman, unstoppable by anyone. On a whim, he abandoned his sword and entered the world of thievery with gentleness.

This is a path never before seen in history. My friends all laughed at my wild ideas, but I said that even thieves have their own code of conduct.

With this method, even petty thieves and street vendors, as well as great thieves and heroes of the world, can steal without a sound, leaving nothing behind. All the powerful figures in the world will respect me.

Liu Qingyun was dumbfounded. "Is this genius just looking for trouble? Bored, he's not practicing swordsmanship, but thieving techniques?"

He looked at the next technique.

4. *A Thousand Changes*

At thirty, having mastered the art of a thousand transformations, he became even more formidable in the art of thievery.

5. The Merchant Thief

At the age of forty, after twenty years of stagnation in the laws of the Thief Realm, he finally saw through the laws of the Thief Realm.

Pickpockets are individual petty thieves.

Capital is a thief of the masses.

Once inside the territory, the rules of theft are established.

He abandoned petty theft, stepped out of the pickpocketing business, and became a master thief, stealing the assets of everyone.

Over three years, their businesses spread far and wide, including pawnshops, brothels, and casinos, openly and honestly robbing people.

He eventually became the greatest thief of the century, achieving the status of a master thief.

However, while traveling the world and stealing from various places, he suddenly discovered that there were gods in the heavens. He stole from them, but was discovered by the gods and was chased all the way.

"What the hell?"

Liu Qingyun was somewhat surprised. Why did the style suddenly change again?

He saw a projection in a tomb.

A majestic being from the unseen realm stands tall in the starry sky:

"To combat the coming of the Chaos Calamity, I created heaven and earth countless times, and even opened up the Great Path of Immortality, thus giving rise to your Immortal Civilization."

"However, even in countless eras of immortal cultivation, it is rare to find a genius like you."

“You unleashed the power of the God of Thieves, even sneaking into the temple without a sound, stealing my methods and secrets, and stealing my storage jar.”

"Only this thief can obtain my treasure vault."

"Since that's the case, then I can't let you stay."

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

【-twenty four】

The legendary thief was beaten to the point of near collapse. The man who had been invincible throughout his life was utterly powerless against this creator hidden behind the scenes.

I inexplicably felt my lifespan rapidly dwindling.

The lifespans they stole all returned to the other person's piggy bank.

"You're ruthless! You created this entire world, and now you're trying to harvest the treasures of the Great Dao that we created, formed from the various laws we've established?" the Thief God roared.

The figure, however, remained unperturbed. "Throughout countless eras, it is thanks to you, these radiant and invincible beings who have dominated countless mythical ages, that I have been able to collect so much divine power."

"It is because of you that I have vaguely figured out a way to combat the Chaos Calamity."

"However, you are quite special. You are skilled at stealing and managed to find my place and discover my existence."

The figure offered no further explanation, and terrifying power continued to emanate from it.

However, as the God of Thieves lay dying, he unleashed an even more terrifying potential, forcibly escaping into the void with the treasures he had stolen.

At the end of the scene, this master thief escapes to this place, hastily leaves behind his life story, and then perishes.

"This is terrifying! This senior actually died like this?"

When Liu Qingyun saw the epitaph of this senior, he got goosebumps all over.

"If I learn this technique, I will inevitably be entangled in karma, and the mastermind behind it all will also try to kill me."

Liu Qingyun felt fear.

But he was chased off a cliff, already seriously injured, and had various mortal enemies.

Now he has no choice but to learn.

"Senior, I will inherit your will."

Thus, he obtained this divine power and embarked on the path of thievery.

Ten years later.

Liu Qingyun dealt with the enemy who was hunting him down; it was a powerful force, but he destroyed it through theft.

Thirty years later, Liu Qingyun's thieving skills began to gain wider recognition, transforming him from a petty thief into a master thief who served the common people.

He abandoned pickpocketing and went into business.

He soon began to study the "Merchant Thief" left by his predecessors, and continued to innovate and improve upon it.

Thousands of years later, he finally figured out the perfect way of thievery.

Through this entirely new method of theft, he silently and stealthily covered the common people, appropriating 20% ​​of their profits for his own use.

They secretly established various pawnshops, pawning various concepts associated with them.
Lifespan, gender, talent, gifts, race.
Everything you have can be exploited by capital.

His business system is known as the mysterious "Eighth Pawnshop".

Countless moving and fairytale-like stories have unfolded in this pawnshop.

Some people pawn their sense of taste, some pawn their race, and some pawn their artistic talent.
Therefore, he condensed a brand new supreme treasure of the Dao: the power capital theft.

Another day, he returned to the tomb from years ago.

Liu Qingyun kowtowed three times and bowed nine times, "Senior, I am going to steal that legendary mysterious entity. As a master thief, I must steal the real treasure."

"I know it's dangerous, but please bless me."

Liu Qingyun also left behind his martial arts techniques, hoping that if he were to meet with misfortune, a destined person would inherit his legacy.

"here we go!"

Using various thieving techniques, he began to silently infiltrate the location of that legendary being.

"Hahaha! How could a master thief see the biggest piggy bank in the world and not steal it?"

Xiu'er.

Piggy bank, thief.

This time you guys have teamed up?
Liu Jun couldn't help but complain.

These three divine objects have now come together.

Time creates life.

Thief, stealing a piggy bank.

However, getting back to the main point, Liu Jun felt that this time the description of the thief's artifact was becoming increasingly vague.

What are the specific functions?

With just a few strokes, it seems to depict the establishment of shops, theft through buying and selling, and the pursuit of capital.

It's not very clear.

Having reviewed the descriptions of the three divine objects, it's time to make a choice.

"I didn't have a choice."

Liu Jun understood that the other two divine objects were to remain here to lay the foundation and become a core part of the order of this immortal world.

He decisively chose this thief's artifact.

Since we've chosen this series, it has to be complete.

An incomplete series of divine artifacts is a waste!

The world of immortals.

Countless magnificent and sacred clouds were unveiled.

Countless people looked at the figure of the creator god above them and made their choices. They took one divine object, leaving two divine objects, which turned into streams of light and flew off to various places.

"Rob!"

"Hurry up and do it!"

Almost instantly, everyone followed the two streaks of light.

One of the streaks of light flew into a majestic celestial palace in the spirit realm and landed in the hands of a figure.

Countless powerful figures quickly gave chase, and upon seeing the host chosen by the divine object, they immediately revealed a trace of apprehension, "It actually chose a Pure Yang True Immortal?"

Xu Changsheng sat on the throne, looking at the [Years of Accumulation] in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his face.
"A time-related artifact? It's finally in my hands."

Ignoring the increasingly powerful figures appearing in the distance, he took out another time-related artifact, [Star Speed].

The two divine objects seem to be connected by some kind of opportunity, as if they were pieces of a puzzle that were naturally pieced together.

Xu Changsheng casually tested the power of this divine object and revealed a hint of surprise.
"So it's this kind of ability? A storage jar? This power is truly terrifying."
