Chapter 1 — Growing Carrots Feeding Divine Beasts

Through time, I became a blind man, and three useless spirit beasts clung to me: A capybara that munched on carrots all day, a featherless chicken, and a snake with its tail cut off. During the ordeal at Van Xa Coc, all the animals simultaneously bowed down. The elder of the immortal sect lost his voice in horror: "Dang Xa, Phuong Hoang, ancient soul Huyen Vu... why are they all in your place?!" 1 When I woke up, my mouth was full of mud. Rain is still falling. Rainwater poured into my nose, causing me to choke and cough for half a day. All I coughed up was blood foam. Ribs were broken. Every time we breathe, we hear something crunching in our chest. I tried moving my right hand, but my wrist was weak and I couldn't use it at all. Left hand felt half of the tombstone next to it. I tried to push myself up to sit up, but as soon as my arm went limp, my whole body fell back into the mud. It was dark before my eyes. Not the dark kind of night. But even though we open our eyes, we still can't see anything. I have gone through space. Transcending into a blind man. Having passed through space, becoming blind, still lying in the middle of a cemetery waiting to die. Very good. It's really good. In my previous life, I worked as a caretaker at the Sichuan giant panda base for five years. It was very difficult to be voted as an excellent employee. Unexpectedly, when a flash flood hit, I rushed into the house that was about to collapse to save the baby panda. Baby bear was rescued. And I drowned. God allowed me to travel through space, I also accepted it. But at least let me touch the giant panda one more time before I die. Now it's great, we don't even know where we will die. All around was the smell of rotten mud and rotten wood. Something soft suddenly hit my face. Wet. Round and round. It also carried a fishy earthy smell. "Don't die!" A childish voice suddenly rang in my ear. "You're on my carrots!" I opened my mouth to speak, but a mouthful of rainwater flooded in, causing me to cough up nearly half a bowl of blood. The other thing continued to hit my neck, using the tip of its nose to push me about three inches to the side. Then, it sucked out a crushed carrot. "If you've been crushed like this, you have to pay." "...If you butt again, I'll kill you." "Pipi, don't mess around!" A cold female voice rang out not far away. "Quickly pull yourself to the wall! This place is leaking! Three ribs are broken, if you soak in cold water any longer, you'll die!" A smooth thing wrapped around it. my wrist. Cold. It's the coldness of the scales. A snake. A snake with more than half of its tail cut off was pressing against my pulse. "The statue's pulse is very weak." The snake's tail slapped my face, the force was neither heavy nor light. "Wake up, don't sleep. Once you fall asleep, you won't be able to wake up again." I gritted my teeth, trying to resist not closing my eyes. That's not right, originally I didn't see anything. But we can feel our consciousness gradually drifting out. That furry lump - it was Pippi with the immature voice from before - knocked me again. "Pipi, save someone! He's about to die! Quickly pull him away first!" It imitated the cold female voice just now, shouting in a childish voice. Another gentle voice came down from above my head. "Little brother has been watching you all night, without even blinking once." A small warm claw was placed on my forehead. So light it's almost weightless. We hear the sound of flapping wings. It's a bird. A featherless bird. “Shut up.” A cold female voice interrupted that gentle voice. The cold thing slid from my wrist to my neck, stopping on my artery. "You can understand the language of spirit beasts, proving that you have an unusual talent. In your body, there is the power to evolve, which can heal the soul. We were so seriously injured, we ran to your side to keep the soul from disappearing. Now,

Your injury is also being protected by the power of evolution. But just defending is not enough. You need to eat things that have spiritual energy. You eat, we can also benefit." "...What to eat?" Even talking, I find it difficult. "I don't have anything." "Let's go find it." Pippi used a childish voice to speak first. "Keep the carrot, give me half." "You're enough. It's called Pi Bi." A cold female voice said. A wet thing was stuffed into my hand. It was the carrot that was crushed earlier. I fumbled and brought it to my mouth, took a bite. It had a fishy earthy smell. Slightly sweet. The carrot soaked in the rain water had softened, and when chewed, it brought with it the sweet taste of young grass. But my stomach immediately warmed up. "Thank you." I said. "Um, I've tasted it, nope. poisonous." Pippi's voice was extremely serious. "Did you taste it first? What if it's poisonous?" I was stunned. "I can't let you try." He answered as if it were a matter of course. A wild leaf was brought to my mouth again. It was a featherless bird named Tinh Nhi that sucked it. The wild vegetable was a bit bitter, but could fill my stomach. While chewing, I suddenly felt a sting in my eyes. In my previous life, I took care of giant pandas, and all my life I took care of others. In this life, I was picked up from a pile of corpses. These three small creatures, both ugly and disabled, considered a blind man's life as their own and risked their lives to save it. "Does your back still hurt?" Tieu Ngu asked. "It doesn't hurt." "Lie." Her voice was as cold as a knife scraping on ice. "I smell blood. After eating, I will change your food." 2 It was morning. The rain stopped. I leaned against the ruined wall of the abandoned temple, the sunlight shining on my face very warmly. Pi Bi lay on my lap, munching on another carrot. Tinh Nhi closed her wings, curled herself on my shoulder. Tieu Ngu curled around my wrist, the tip of her tail touching my pulse over and over again. She said her name was Tieu Ngu. Her voice was cold, decisive, not allowing others to be heard. I said my name was Co Niem An. In my previous life, my name was Co Niem An. "What is the evolutionary power you talk about?" I asked. Tieu Ngu was silent for a moment. "Something that shouldn't exist." Her tail tightened an inch. "The three of us are not mortal beasts. According to this world, we are descendants of ancient divine beasts. But I was seriously injured, dropped to the mortal world, my soul was broken in more than half, and could only parasitize the body of this snake with its tail cut off. Pippi is a remnant soul of the ancient beast Huyen Vu. It finds a capybara's body and crawls into it. The reason is that this body is greedy and can help it absorb more aura. Tinh Nhi had the bloodline of the Phoenix, nirvana failed, her true body was burned, she could only curl up in the body of a mortal bird to prolong her life. "I was stunned for a long time. "So you three are actually three divine beasts in trouble?" "It can be understood like that." "Then you came to me because I can be a treasure to recharge your energy?" "More accurately, an object to help speed up cultivation." Tieu Ngu's tail patted my wrist. "The power of evolution can regenerate the soul and shorten cultivation time. We need it to heal our injuries, and you need our strength to survive in this world. This is not about taking advantage, but about both sides needing each other." A wind blew the thatched roof of the abandoned temple. Tinh Nhi spread out one wing, helping me block the falling ash. For some reason, I reached out to touch her wing. More than half of the feathers had fallen off, revealing the rosy flesh underneath. Tinh Nhi shrank slightly. "Ugly." Her voice was very light. "Don't touch." "Not bad." I said. "The giant pandas I took care of in my previous life, when I was new.

was also born hairless. But after growing it for a while, it will become beautiful. The same goes for the three of you." Pippi held a carrot in his mouth and raised his head. This guy had a round body, erect ears, and his mouth seemed to always have carrots chewing forever. "How many animals did you raise in your previous life?" "Not a few." I counted. "Giant panda, red panda, yellow snub-nosed monkey, black-necked crane. Initially I worked at the zoo, then went to the giant panda base. Every day, clean up the feces, feed them, check their health and write a care diary." "Are they valuable?" Pippi asked. "Very precious. It's a national treasure." "Then why don't you come back? Come back and continue raising them." I laughed. After laughing, even I felt bitter. "I can't go back anymore. Over there, I was the one who died. Coming to this side, even a pair of eyes from heaven cannot be kept for me. Being able to survive, and meeting the three of you, God has added so many details to my life." "Then let's farm." Tieu Ngu suddenly said. "Farming?" "In three days, the Immortal Alliance will hold a conference to test the aptitude of beast control. The top reward is the Thien Mu spiritual fluid. A normal person can see for ten miles with just one drop, and a blind person can also restore their vision." She paused for a moment. "We have to go." "But registering to participate in the conference requires spirit stones, we don't have any." "Then get spirit stones first." "How to get them?" "Farming." The tip of Tieu Ngu's tail pointed to the wasteland outside the ruined temple. "Your power of evolution can turn burned land into spirit fields. Planted fruits and vegetables will have medicinal effects far superior to those of naturally grown plants. Selling vegetables and earning spirit stones, three days is enough." 3Hoang Son is even worse than I imagined. The entire mountain is blackened soil. Not a blade of grass. The soil is as hard as rock. Co Trong Son - the old man who took me in - stood at the foot of the mountain, showing me: "Two hundred years ago, a Ky Lan died here. Its blood flows into the ground, causing the land to die with it. I planted trees for two hundred years, and not a single tree survived." His voice was calm, as if telling someone else's story. "And yet you still let me come here?" I asked him using my cane to find the way. "Because you are blind." Co Trong Son took a sip of wine. "If you're blind, you can't see how bad this ruined place is, so you dare to plant." He stopped. "Also, the strange power on your body might be able to heal this land." I took the hoe from him. Trying to dig the hoe into the ground, the moment the hoe blade touched the burning soil, a stream of evolutionary power flowed from my fingertips, following the handle of the hoe and seeping into the ground. Then, the ground under my feet began to soften, and I also smelled a sweet smell like fermenting rotting grass. "This..." Co Trong Son's wine gourd fell to the ground. "Is this a weird thing?" moved, using his nose to dig out a young carrot that had just emerged from the ground. The carrot skin was still covered in mud, but emitted an indescribable aroma. The whole capybara immediately stiffened on the spot: "Master! This carrot can help me restore one-tenth of my soul!" Co Trong Son broke a small piece and put it in his mouth, then his pickaxe also fell. "I have been stuck in a bottleneck for two hundred years." His voice trembled. "Two hundred years, and yet a carrot broke it." He looked at me. I looked at him - because my eyes were still blind - then seriously nodded. "So is this land usable?" "Usable." "Then." I stood up with my cane, but the carrot leaves under my feet tripped me and I almost fell.
