Xiao Chen sat quietly on the steps outside the door, looking at the pure sky without a trace of impurity. His originally bright eyes seemed to be particularly dull at this time.
After the first few days of uneasiness, he gradually began to adapt to his current identity. After all, his current body was still a six-year-old child. After fusing with the memories of these six years, he was not worried about revealing any flaws.
However, his life had changed drastically after the psychic test. His parents, who used to come here often, were now nowhere to be seen. His half-brothers had always been jealous of his father's love, but they did not dare to show it because of his father's dignity. However, after the results of this test spread throughout the family, every time they met on the road, they would mock him. The maids and servants around him also began to slack off in taking care of him. Usually, they would not appear in his room unless it was necessary.
Of course, the source of all this was not because of the sudden addition of 20 years of memories or his mature soul. It was because of his ungraded spirit.
That's right, it meant that he wasn't qualified. Although there weren't any major wars on the Netherworld Continent, strength was the greatest guarantee of survival. Being a spiritual medium was the only and most powerful profession on the continent. Becoming a spiritual medium not only allowed one to possess great strength, but it was also a shortcut to obtaining power and wealth.
The most important factors to become a spiritual medium were the soul fire and spirit!
The soul fire was a flame formed by the external appearance of the soul power. When the spiritual medium cultivated, the purer the soul fire, the more it could absorb the wandering spiritual power between heaven and earth, and the more it could develop the spirit in the soul, allowing the spiritual medium to display more powerful strength in battle.
The second most important factor was the spirit. In the Netherworld Continent, almost everyone had a mysterious power in their soul. As long as they could use the soul fire to guide and stimulate this mysterious power, they would have the hope of becoming a powerful spiritual medium. The source of this mysterious power was the so-called spirit.
Of course, there were so many people who could become spiritual spirits on this continent, and there were countless types of spirits. Therefore, the spiritual masters of the Netherworld Continent classified all spirits into three categories: human, beast, and ghost. According to the potential of the spirit in the future, it was divided into five grades: God, Saint, Upper, Middle, and Lower. Generally, only low-grade or above spirits had the value of cultivating.
For example, Xiao Chen's father, the City Lord of Dark Night City, Xiao Potian, possessed a spirit of a high-grade beast, the Bone Dragon. It was rumored that his strength had already reached the peak of the Spirit Grandmaster realm, and he was only one step away from the Spirit King realm, which was required to become a country's Revered Elder.
However, Xiao Chen's own spirit was a skeleton that couldn't even enter the lowest low-grade. It didn't have much potential for cultivation. Even if his soul fire was extremely pure, a clever housewife couldn't cook rice without rice. A spirit without cultivation potential couldn't display much power at all. It was useless to continue cultivating.
It was this hopeless skeleton that caused Xiao Chen's life to fall to the bottom. His father, Xiao Potian, who had high hopes for Xiao Chen, had not come to visit him for such a long time. It was conceivable.
If Xiao Chen was still the original six-year-old child, he might have been unable to recover from this sudden huge drop in his life. He might have thought that he was a good-for-nothing with no future and would have been depressed all the way from then on, waiting to die in this big family.
However, the current Xiao Chen had the soul of an adult in his body. Moreover, he had yet to see the battle scene of a truly powerful spiritual medium. Naturally, he smiled at the regret of not being able to become a spiritual medium. As a human who had transmigrated from the modern world, he was almost an ordinary person among the masses in that world. He did not have monstrous power, wealth that could rival a country, and beautiful women that could topple a country. His greatest wish was... It was to marry a kind but not too beautiful wife and live a quiet and ordinary life.
Now that he had arrived in this foreign world, it could be said that he was completely cut off from his original life. In this strange world, he had a family background that ordinary people could not have. As a direct descendant of the Lin family, even if he was useless, as long as he did not kill or commit treason, the family would support him until he was old.
Xiao Chen was a person with no ambition in his previous life. In this world, since the heavens didn't allow him to cultivate and even arranged a family background for him to live a peaceful life, he naturally accepted it calmly. Just like life was like sex, since he couldn't resist, he might as well lie there and enjoy it!
As for the fantasy novels that he had read before, it was not that he had not thought about going to the other world to manufacture gunpowder machinery and eventually dominate the continent. However, through his original six years of memory analysis and the investigation in the past few days, he realized that this other world did not even have the most basic iron. The metals used to manufacture weapons were completely unfamiliar to him. Even a physics doctor in his previous life would not be able to use these to manufacture bullets, let alone an ordinary person like him.
Therefore, being able to become a " good-for-nothing " in this big family and live his life in this relatively beautiful small courtyard was still a very good thing. Even if he would encounter some ridicule when he walked outside, it would be fine if he hid in the courtyard. Compared to the various things he had encountered in his previous life, these ridicule were really child's play. He naturally heard it and did not take it to heart.
