The spring sun was especially bright and beautiful, and it felt lazy when it shone on her body.
A child with red lips and white teeth was standing with his hands outstretched. Beside him, a girl dressed in animal skin was quickly and carefully helping him put on his fur clothes. Another girl was holding a jar and a small basin waiting beside him. The small basin was filled with white coarse salt, and the jar was filled with clear water.
"In my previous life, I had always been sick and had to wear my own clothes. I didn't expect that in this life, I would be extremely healthy, but servants would always serve me.”Ning had been used to being served since he was born. In fact, when he took the initiative to put on his clothes, his two personal handmaidens, Spring Grass and Autumn Leaf, were so frightened that they immediately knelt down, trembling in terror.
"Give it to me."
After dressing up, Ning took the large black jar and the small basin, then walked out of the room. He squatted down by the corridor, poured some white salt into his mouth, and began to 'brush his teeth.'
"This era is really tragic. There's no toothbrush, so you can only use your hands to brush! There's no toothpaste, so I can only use salt!" Ning quickly cleaned himself up. Actually, he didn't know what was going on, but ever since he was born, he had always been very clean. He didn't have any bad breath, and he didn't need to brush his teeth at all. But his mother always forced him to do so.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp." Ning raised his head, then spat out the water from his mouth. He then passed the jar and basin to the nearby maidservant, Spring Grass.
The maid, Autumn Leaf, was holding an azure-colored stone basin. Ning quickly washed his face, then took a cloth and wiped it clean.
"Autumn Leaf." Ning blinked his large eyes."In your tribe, you use salt to brush your teeth?”
Although he was already four years old this year, and he had read many books in the family's books and knew a lot of information that he needed to know, he was not too clear about the life of some tribes.
"How is that possible?" Autumn Leaf's face was covered with freckles." Even the tribe's food isn't this white and clean with salt, much less brushing their teeth. The men and women in the tribe washed their teeth casually with water. Many of them did not brush their teeth for their entire lives. Also, this earthen jar was used to boil soup. It was also very expensive. How could it be used to hold water and brush one's teeth?”
Soup?
Ning blinked a few times. That jar was also used to make soup?
"Let's go eat." Ning turned and strode away, his two maids following behind him.
……
"Father, Mother." Ning walked into the hall, then stood up and bowed.
"Yes."
His father, Ji Yichuan, was seated on top, while his mother was seated on the left-hand side. His seat was on the right-hand side. In front of him was a table carved out of black stone, upon which were three pots of fragrant meat, thick and soft flatbread, and a jar of hot water. This was his breakfast.
If a four-year-old child's breakfast was placed on Earth, it would probably be enough for three adult men to eat. However, in this world…every child was a glutton, and so was he.
"Mmm, it smells so good." Ning grabbed a piece of meat from one of the pots and began to eat it. Even for Earthlings, this was considered a delicacy. Ning knew that because his body was of average quality, he had been fed a very special diet since he was a child. The meat he ate wasn't from ordinary wild beasts, but rather the flesh and blood of sentient monsters. It was an extremely expensive food in some of the tribes outside, but he ate it every day.
It was effective, but Ning was incredibly strong!
"I'm done!" Ning ate very quickly, wolfing down his food like a wolf, then gulped down a jar of hot water.
"Let's go." Ning howled as he ran out, followed by Spring Grass and Autumn Leaf, his two personal maids.
Snow watched her son run out, then smiled."Although Ning 'er's body was average when he was born, that was because he was injured in the womb. His potential is still very great. You see, he can eat so much demon beast meat every day. His body will definitely continue to get better.”
Yichuan nodded slightly as well. Monsters were different from wild beasts. Monsters absorbed the energy of the world to cultivate, and their flesh contained energy. Even if a child ate it in the morning, they probably wouldn't feel hungry for a day or two, and wouldn't even feel like eating it. Ning, however, ate three meals a day, and his tiny body was able to digest all of them.
*******
The two maids were carrying a thick book as they followed behind Ning. Behind them were eighteen tall and muscular guards dressed in crimson armor. The crimson armor was covered with strange and mysterious runes, which seemed to draw upon a mysterious power, causing each of the guards to emanate a powerful aura.
The Scarlet Guards were the most powerful army of the Ji clan. The Ji clan of the West Prefecture only had a hundred Scarlet Guards, and they all obeyed Yichuan's orders.
Yichuan arranged for eighteen Scarlet Guards to protect Ning. As long as Ning left his home, the eighteen Scarlet Guards would not leave his side.
"To the training field." Ning's journey was incredibly leisurely.
No one dared to stop him!
The West Prefecture City was a majestic city. Hundreds of thousands of people lived in the city. There were three huge buildings in the city: the inner city, the military camp, and the Martial Arts Hall.
The inner city was the place where the members of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture lived, and it was also the core of their rule!
The military camp was where the troops of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture were stationed.
The Martial Arts Hall was the place where many of the youths and disciples of the Ji clan of the various tribes governed by the Ji clan of the West Prefecture trained.
There was a direct passageway between the inner city and the Martial Arts Hall. Ning led his servants and guards directly to the Martial Arts Hall's training grounds. Within the vast training grounds, tens of thousands of youths were currently training.
"Look, it's Ji Ning!"
"He is the only son of the Raindrop sword, Ji Ning?”
"The female slave beside him is holding a book, right? I've seen traveling merchants selling books in our tribe before. They'd need 1,000 sheepskins to exchange for one book.”
The youths on the training grounds were quietly discussing amongst themselves. Many of them had long since become familiar with this child, and they knew that this child was the son of the number one expert of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture, the Raindrop Sword, Ji Yichuan. In fact, many of the youths were very fond of this child, because although Ning was of noble birth, he had never bullied them. However, no matter how much they liked this child, they did not dare to go up and tease him.
"Woo." Ning sat there in his chair, his eyes filled with excitement.
In his past life, he had often been alone. Deep down, Ning loved to be in a lively mood.
"Give me the book." Ning accepted a thick book from Spring Grass 'hands. The book was very thick, roughly twenty centimeters thick, and the paper was made from the skin of a beast that had been kneaded into a fine layer. In this era, where slaves still existed, books were extremely luxurious. However, Ning was able to go to the library and browse through them as he pleased, and he was even able to bring a few books with him.
After Ning was born, he mainly did two things.
The first was to visualize the [Nuwa Painting]. After his soul became stronger, his physique became stronger, and he could even remember everything he saw. Just half a month ago, he could even multitask.
For example, he could write with his left hand and draw with his right hand. It was as if his mind was divided into two parts and did not interfere with each other.
Actually, this was not strange. According to the records in the books, cultivators could multitask and control several magic treasures to attack at the same time. As for the [Nuwa Painting], it was truly profound. Ning had been visualizing it for two years now, and his soul had become so powerful that he could multitask.
The second thing was to study!
Half a year after he was born, Ning was able to say a few words. At that time, he would hold a book and point at the hieroglyphic characters." This, this, this…" Since Spring Grass and Autumn Leaf had been chosen to be personal handmaidens, they were both literate, so they naturally didn't dare not answer. In addition, they were all using pictographic characters, so they could guess quite a bit, and they quickly learned how to write.
After that, he started studying!
As the saying went,'sharpening a knife doesn't delay the work of chopping wood'. Although he had been steeled from the moment he was born to embark on the path of Immortal cultivation, Ning understood that haste makes waste. Reading was like sharpening one's knife on the path of cultivation. First, one had to understand the situation of this world, as well as the process of cultivation, the types of cultivation, and so on.
After knowing, he would be able to make the best choice!
After reading many books, Ning learned that the Ji clan of the West Prefecture was a small power within the vast territory of the Grand Xia Dynasty.
The territory of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture spanned over three thousand li from north to south, and over five thousand li from east to west. The countless tribes living in this territory were all under the command of the Ji clan of the West Prefecture!
And this was only the West Prefecture of the Ji clan.
The Ji clan was a very ancient clan, and it was divided into the Sect Residence, the East Residence, the West Residence, the South Residence, and the North Residence. Only when the five prefectures of the Ji clan were combined would the Ji clan be complete!
However…
The Grand Xia Dynasty was simply too vast. The Grand Xia Dynasty's territory was so vast that it was practically endless. In addition, this ancient dynasty had been born during the Fiendgod Era. It had survived the terrifying Fiendgod Era for trillions of years. For a dynasty to exist for trillions of years…Ning couldn't help but shudder.
The Ji clan was merely a minor power within the vast territory of the Grand Xia Dynasty. But of course, to the countless surrounding tribes, the Ji clan was an absolute overlord!
"As expected of a world where immortals and fiends appear.”Ning sighed to himself."It's already a miracle that a mortal dynasty can last for a thousand years. In a world where even Immortal cultivators exist, the foundation of an ancient and powerful dynasty is beyond imagination.”
"Yes, it has been two years since I came to this world. I know a lot about immortal cultivation. It's time to start cultivating.”
Because it was winter when she was born, it was the new year not long after she was born. At that time, she was already two years old.
Although he was four years old, he had only been in this world for two years.
……
That night.
The two sides of the hall were lit by candles as thick as a child's arm, causing the entire hall to be filled with light. His father was still seated in the main seat, his mother was seated on the left-hand side, and Ning was seated on the right-hand side. On the table, there was still meat, as well as a few plates of vegetables and noodles.
"Coo coo coo!" Ning swept the table clean of all the meat and noodles, then raised his head.”
"Yes, what's the matter?" Yichuan looked at his son, and Snow looked back at her son.
Although they were happy about their son's intelligence, they were not surprised. This was because in this vast world, there were existences that were so intelligent that they were almost monstrous.
"I want to cultivate!" "I want to cultivate!"”
Snow looked at her son's serious expression and laughed."Immortal cultivation? Yichuan, our son wants to cultivate!”
"Immortal cultivation?" Yichuan looked at his son, who still had a cold expression on his face.”
