As an ordinary person, we have to work hard to survive.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the first priority.
And in order to become more like ordinary people, one must no longer live without grain.
Be hungry.
Therefore, Lu Chen no longer used any spiritual energy.
It does not absorb or refine, and even arranges a set of spiritual formations around the body to isolate and seal itself from the spiritual energy.
In addition, Lu Chen also sealed away his mental power.
Of course, all these preparations, including the aura seal and spiritual seal, he can undo at will.
So this time is not only for him to experience the life of a mortal, but also a test for him.
See if he can stick to the rules even though he knows he can break them at any time.
This is a different kind of experience, and Lu Chen also wants to know if he can persist in doing it.
Thanks to the time crystal, I have more time.
Otherwise, he would never be in the mood to do this.
In order to live more like a mortal, Lu Chen also arranged the Five Elements Formation and the Yin and Yang Formation.
Let this place be like the outside world, with sunrise and sunset, day and night, four seasons, rain, snow and frost.
"Hey, I can actually simulate a world."
Lu Chen suddenly said to himself in surprise.
He didn't even expect that he had grown to such an extent without knowing it.
The understanding of the rules allows you to arrange a simulated world formation.
If this could be used against the enemy, how powerful would it be?
The ice and snow world of Bing Xuanji was already very tyrannical.
Then wouldn't it be possible to destroy the enemy invisible in this world that looks like reality?
He has created a real world that is like an illusion. Even mental power cannot break this world.
Thinking about this, Lu Chen couldn't help but get excited.
But he soon calmed down and decided to practice the "Great Sleep Heart Sutra" first.
We’ll talk about other things later.
In order to avoid sudden out-of-control tantrums in the future, it is better to get some sleep as soon as possible.
I hope this will help me keep my mind intact and not be affected by anyone.
Mortal life is a bit far away for Lu Chen.
Even when he was a child in Luyuncheng, he never suffered much.
After all, he was born into a swordsman genius and came from a wealthy family.
As the eldest son of the head of the family, he is the darling of the entire family and is loved in every way.
In addition, he has been practicing martial arts since he was eight years old and became a warrior.
After that, he went to Chunyang Sect, further away from the ordinary life of ordinary people.
Even if he was later plotted by Bai Haoran, it was still a part of a warrior's life.
Ordinary, what is it?
Lu Chen thought about it and realized that he had never experienced it before.
Fortunately, Chen Shui's jade slips described to himself the life of an ordinary person who did not practice martial arts.
An ordinary person whose life span is only eighty years at most.
This person lives in isolation, living in the wild, without contact with other people. All he comes into contact with are the gifts of nature.
For example, you can use wild fruits from trees to satisfy your hunger, or use branches and leaves to build a simple sleeping shed.
This is how Lu Chen spent the first month.
He was somewhat grateful that he had transplanted some more ordinary fruit trees here.
Otherwise, you can only eat one kind of wild fruit every day, which will be even more painful.
Fortunately, after a month of persistence, he finally built a cabin.
Although the cabin is not very warm, it can withstand wind and rain.
In the next few months, Lu Chen has been repairing and renovating the cabin to make it stronger.
But suddenly, Lu Chen found that he was sick, feeling weak all over and his hands and feet were cold.
I got sick out of nowhere.
He was surprised.
You must know that although you have sealed your spiritual energy and spiritual power, your body is truly powerful.
A strong body that has experienced the baptism of thunder and calamity cannot get sick even if there is no spiritual energy to continue nourishing it.
Lu Chen was puzzled.
Because we don’t know the cause of the illness, we can’t treat it effectively.
He could only hope that his body would carry the pain away.
Another few months have passed.
Lu Chen couldn't even climb a tree and could only eat wild fruits picked in advance.
However, the preservation of wild fruits is also limited.
Later, Lu Chen could only eat moldy and smelly wild fruits.
Then naturally he didn't dare to eat, so he had to go hungry.
On this day, Lu Chen was lying on the bed panting, with thoughts running through his mind.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep.
In his sleep, he seemed to have returned to his hometown, to his childhood, and remembered the little stories his servants told him.
This slave was a poor man who had fled the country. He was living in the wilderness and could only eat wild fruits. He was short in stature and had a sallow complexion.
It wasn't until he ate the meat rice donated by his Lu family that he slowly became stronger.
"I see."
Lu Chen woke up suddenly.
If you eat wild fruits every day, the energy they provide is completely insufficient to support your body.
Not to mention a body as powerful as his own.
Therefore, I need a lot of meat to supplement myself.
But I had not considered this before. In this simulated world, there were no ordinary beasts to prey on.
Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh: "I failed. It was my first time as a mortal and I couldn't persevere."
As he spoke, he unlocked the spiritual seal and the aura seal on his body.
Due to lack of meat to replenish physical strength, the rice grown by himself also failed.
If you continue, you are just waiting to die.
So, I still have little experience.
Lu Chen suddenly had an idea and left the small world.
He decided to go to an ordinary village where mortals lived to experience it.
The Xiongwu Empire is very powerful and has rich aura.
But there are still mortal villages.
Because not everyone has the bones to absorb spiritual energy and practice, even if it has been passed down for thousands of years, there will always be many ordinary people who cannot practice.
Even the children of some geniuses may be born with disabilities and cannot absorb spiritual energy for cultivation.
It can be seen that there are always mortals in this world.
And the ancestors of every warrior are just mortals.
Lu Chen flew quickly and soon found a mortal village.
He quickly sealed his mental power and aura, then pretended to be an ordinary person who was in trouble on a long journey on foot, and slowly integrated into the village.
For this experience, he limited himself to one year.
Regardless of whether you can succeed or not, when the one-year deadline is up, you must leave immediately.
A few months passed quickly.
During this period, Lu Chen no longer lived in other people's homes, but had built his own house.
There are courtyards, fences, and vegetables to grow, and life is already worry-free for food and clothing.
And he has completely integrated into the village community, and even has the vague title of the strongest hunter.
Because Lu Chen is physically strong, he doesn't panic when facing wild beasts. If he strikes with the machete, the wild beast will lose half of its life.
Everyone admired Lu Chen very much.
Some peasant women have already started looking for a partner for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen couldn't laugh or cry about this.
Fortunately, one year has passed quickly.
On this day, Lu Chen said goodbye to everyone.
"Brother Lu Chen, please don't leave. It's great to live here. We are all like one family."
A hunter brother persuaded.
Lu Chen said: "I also want to continue living here, but I still miss my family and want to find them."
"well."
Brother Hunter sighed.
There are too many martial arts practitioners these days.
If a mortal is separated, it will be very difficult to survive.
If they are unlucky and encounter martial arts warriors fighting directly, the aftermath of the battle will kill them.
Not every place can compare with small rural areas like theirs.
Their place is a mortal realm restricted by the empire, and martial cultivators are not allowed to enter at will.
But after going out, who can guarantee that he will not be hit to death by a flying stone?
However, Lu Chen cared about his family and wanted to find them, so they couldn't stop him.
Could it be that Lu Chen's family is dead and he should give up?
Such words are too hurtful to be said.
"Brother Lu Chen, you are in good health. It is not a problem to climb several mountains on foot. I believe you will be able to find your family."
"That's right, brother Lu Chen, you must come back after you find your family. This is the mortal realm restricted by the empire, and it is very safe."
"Yes, yes, brother Lu Chen must find his family."
Everyone prayed for Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was extremely grateful: "Thank you all for your blessings. I will definitely find my family. By the way, I still have a lot of dried meat in the yard. Let's share it. I also carved some small things in the room and gave them to the little ones.
We treat them as toys.”
"Long live Uncle Lu Chen!"
A group of children were chirping and frantically rushed into Lu Chen's room looking for toys.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Everyone, I'll take my leave."
"Brother Lu Chen, have a nice trip."
"Bon Voyage!"
Everyone looked at Lu Chen's back until they could no longer see him.
They are also grateful in their hearts.
If it hadn't been for Lu Chen's arrival, they wouldn't have been able to eat game every day.
Even now, every household has some special cages specially designed to contain wild animals, which can be killed and eaten at any time.
These are all benefits brought to them by Brother Lu Chen!
The villagers were grateful to Lu Chen, and Lu Chen was also grateful to everyone.
Because during this year, he finally let down his guard and lived the simplest life.
His heart felt much more peaceful.
If you go to Chen Shui's class now, you will be guided to sleep by him.
Although I may not be able to fall asleep, I will definitely not go as crazy as before.
This is considerable progress.
Even if he didn't achieve a breakthrough in cultivation, Lu Chen felt that this year was not in vain.
It is much better than working behind closed doors in a small world.
After walking through this mountain, Lu Chen independently unlocked the spiritual seal and aura seal on his body.
Then he rose into the sky and flew towards the Imperial City.
With the identity card of a disciple of the Holy Way of Xiongwu Dao Yuan, he does not want to pay any fees, but will be treated with respect by the city guards.
It is much more convenient than when I came here with Shi Daoxiong and the others.
But when Lu Chen was about to go in, a voice suddenly called out: "Senior Brother Lu Chen, Master Lu Chen!"
Chase Lu turned around in surprise.
He saw two people running towards him.
"Who are you……"
Lu Chen thought about it for a moment and said, "Hidden Sword Chu Zhong?"
This Hidden Sword Chu Zhong was the first time Lu Chen went to the Ling Xiao Palace and saw the competition between Chu Zhong and Shi Yuhong at the Ling Xiao Pavilion.
Shi Yuhong was defeated in one move, which shows Chu Zhong's strength.
It is said that Chu Zhong's strength is comparable to the top ten on the Lingxiao Ranking, but he has never gone up against the top ten.
Moreover, Chu Zhong was good at assassination. If he planned a sneak attack, even Fang Yuru would be killed by him.
That's the scary thing about it.
Lu Chen had an impression of Chu Zhong at that time, and the people's comments at the time made him even more impressed by this man.
So now that I see it, I recognize it immediately.
Chu Zhong was overjoyed: "Master Lu Chen, you actually know me, that's great. I am Hidden Blade Chu Zhong, ranked 21st on the Lingxiao Ranking. This is Ji Sunying, ranked seventh on the Lingxiao Ranking."
Lu Chen was even more surprised: "How did you get here?"
Chu Zhong said: "I tell the truth, the master of the palace should not blame me."
Lu Chen smiled and said: "We are not in the Lingxiao Palace, there is nothing to blame."
Chu Zhongdao: "To be honest with you, Lord, I was following you. I knew the route to the Xiongwu Empire Pass and the method of entering the pass, so I went back and called Senior Brother Ji Sunying."
"You actually didn't enter first by yourself. It seems like you have a good relationship."
