In every hill, every lake, every farmland, and every town, Li Yao would see many strange things and meet many strange people.
He once met an old man who was more than 130 years old.
He was obviously just an ordinary person, but he had a four- to five-meter-long spiritual beast "Screaming Eagle" as a pet.
The old man said that when he was four years old, he accidentally picked up a palm-sized bird.
When he saw that its wings were broken, he was very pitiful, so he used branches to help connect the broken wings and applied healing ointment to it.
From then on, this little bird has been clinging to him, accompanying him to grow up, get married, have children, and grow old.
For the first hundred years, this little bird had always been the size of a palm, and the old man was used to having such a gadget around him.
Unexpectedly, after the old man passed his 104th birthday, the little bird suddenly grew in size and grew to five meters long in just three years, revealing the majestic appearance of a spiritual beast.
Only then did the old man realize that he had picked up something remarkable.
"I am an ordinary salaryman, and the space at home is small.
At that time, I had a son and a wife, and even my grandson was about to get married.
How could I have room to raise such a big bird?"
"I had no choice but to secretly keep it on the roof of a residential building.
Because of this, I was constantly nagged by my wife, son and daughter-in-law.
The neighborhood committee came to see me several times, and even alerted the police!"
"Cultivators from several cultivating sects came to my door and said they wanted to buy this guy at a high price, but how could I give it up?
In the eyes of cultivators, it is a spiritual beast, but in my eyes, it is my entire being.
Youth, my whole life!
If I don’t sell it, I won’t sell it!”
The old man gently stroked the Screaming Eagle's head.
He said with a smile.
The Screaming Eagle, known for its ferocity, leaned on the old man very docilely.
It can be seen that its left wing is slightly twisted, and it seems to have been seriously injured.
"Just like this, more than 20 years have passed.
I have retired.
My children and grandchildren don't have to worry about me, and my old lady has left before me.
I can finally realize my childhood dream - I have been thinking about it since I was a child, little bird Oh, little bird, how wonderful would it be if you were a spiritual beast?
Then I could ride you, fly, fly over the mountains, across the river, into the sky, and across the entire Tianyuan world."
The old man laughed, revealing his big mouth with missing front teeth, and climbed up behind the Screaming Eagle with great difficulty.
"drop--" The old man blew a rusty whistle, and the screeching eagle roared and flapped its wings.
Soar into the sky.
The wings of this screeching eagle were injured.
The old man was not a cultivator and had no skills in controlling spiritual beasts.
The way it flew was crooked and slow, it was extremely ugly.
The old man didn't care, singing popular songs from a hundred years ago, and gradually disappeared into the layers of clouds like cotton piles.
Along the way, Li Yao met many people like old men.
He met a powerful swordsman.
Already successful and famous, he suddenly woke up at the age of ninety.
I discovered that what I really wanted to be was a literary cultivator and a poet.
Then the swordsman put down his sword.
Hike the Snowy Mountains and find inspiration in the desolate and vast snowy areas.
Occasionally, he encounters car thieves and road bullies.
He does not use the sword as a last resort, but tries to influence the bad guys with poems full of warmth and love.
As time went by, everyone near the Snowy Mountains knew that there was such a "Poetry Demon" with excellent swordsmanship, and people were more afraid of him reciting poems than they were of the three-foot green blade in his hand.
Li Yao also met a country doctor who graduated from Tiandu Medical College.

He had served in several cultivation sects and was a well-known national practitioner in the cultivation world.
He was best at unblocking the eight extraordinary meridians and treating people who had gone crazy.
However, after turning one hundred and eighty years old, this cultivator at the peak of the Foundation Stage gave up his high-paying employment with several major hospitals and cultivating sects.
He traveled anonymously to every remote village in the Federation and provided voluntary medical treatment to villagers in remote areas. .
"Thirty years ago, I helped a sect leader of a large sect to protect the Dharma and help him successfully enter the alchemy stage.
Later, the sect leader gave me a luxurious sea view villa, plus the most prosperous commercial street in a big city. , a total of five shops!”
"I thought this was the largest medical fee I had ever received in my life."
In a simple brick house, the village doctor was pulling sweet potatoes in the fire pit and said to Li Yao with a smile, "It wasn't until yesterday that I received a more precious consultation fee."
"What is it?"
Li Yao carefully tore off the skin of the sweet potato, the heat blurring his eyes.
"I helped a little boy whose eyes were injured by fireworks and had been blind for four years regain his sight.
He kissed me hard, and here he is."
The country doctor pointed to his cheek and smiled brightly, naturally and peacefully.
A retired man riding a screaming eagle, a swordsman who wants to be a poet, a country doctor who is at the peak of his foundation-building period...
There are many, many such people.
During the day, Li Yao was in the picturesque fairyland, listening to these people tell all kinds of strange and weird stories.
In his sleep at night, Li Yao did not forget to practice.
He frantically devoured Ou Yezi's memory fragments.
Each piece of memory fragment contains Ou Yezi's memories from ten days to one month.
And Li Yao could devour about one or two memory fragments every night.
If you swallow more, your mental power will be exhausted, your whole brain will be on fire, and the pain will be excruciating, which will be detrimental to your cultivation.
During the three-month journey, Li Yao devoured Ou Yezi's memories of working as a blacksmith.
Different from the last Nanke Yimeng, this time, the memory fragments were completely integrated into Li Yao's body, completely integrated with his original memory.
It was as if he had really worked as a blacksmith in the Hundred Refiners Sect 40,000 years ago and had practiced superior metal forging techniques.
Although every time he devoured memories, Li Yao would be tortured to the point of death by difficulties one after another as Ou Yezi.
But the harvest is also extremely huge.
All of Ou Yezi's blacksmithing skills were swallowed up by him, and based on the "One Hundred and Eight Hands Cloak Hammering Technique", Li Yao was on the way to metal forging.
Finally reached the pinnacle.
Today, when all kinds of technologically advanced weapon refining magic weapons are widely used, looking at the entire Tianyuan world, it is impossible for there to be another person like Li Yao who foolishly learns the classical blacksmithing method from 40,000 years ago.
Therefore, Li Yao can be called "the first person in the Xingyao Federation's ancient hand-forging skills"!
Although this title sounds very majestic, it does not have much practical value.
Li Yao still felt a small sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"Today is blacksmithing, and tomorrow will be the most advanced weapon refining technique.
When I devour all the memories of Ou Yezi forging magical weapons, what about Deep Sea University?
One day, the title of Holy Land for Weapon Refiners will belong to our Dahuang Battle Academy.
Instrument system!”
Three months later, the Federal North.
In an unknown mountain village.
"Moo..."
"What..."
"Woof woof!
Woof woof!"
A large group of wooden cows and horses staggered around in the grain drying field at the entrance of the village, moaning weakly.
Wooden cows and flowing horses are the collective name for all agricultural metal puppet beasts.
Take this long-haired sheep that is making a "bleating" sound as an example.

Its entire body is made of metal, its joints are inlaid with various crystal stones, and dozens of talismans are engraved around its body.
It can walk automatically and look for dead branches and leaves and straw.
After swallowing, it all breaks down into plant fibers and re-tangles into wool-shaped filaments in the stomach.
This kind of filament can be used to weave cloth and make nets, and can even be directly sewn into clothes in economically backward areas.
It is a valuable metal puppet beast.
Not to mention the huge copper ox next to it.
Not only can it plow fields, but it only needs to be equipped with some very simple parts during the harvest season.
It can be transformed into a large harvester.
Use the horn-shaped blade in front to cut off all the rice ears, and then swallow them into the cow's mouth.
What comes out from behind the butt is golden rice.
In poor areas, these metal puppet beasts are the lifeblood of a family, often for several generations.
This is the nameless mountain village.
Dozens of metal puppet beasts are all old-fashioned products from more than a hundred years ago, and have long since expired.
Either their arms or legs are missing, or their crystals have been ripped out by thieves.
Or perhaps the talisman arrays engraved on key points have been mottled by time.
"Master Xiao Li, please help me take a look.
Is this iron cow still alive?
This is the dowry my grandma brought when she got married!"
"Master Xiao Li.
I will help you take a look at this big wolf dog later.
Although it is not a living creature, it has been with me since I was born.
It has been 130 years.
It has feelings!"
Villagers with honest faces surrounded Li Yao.
In a nearby house, there were villagers killing pigs to stew meat for Li Yao.
The whole drying field was filled with the richest smell of meat.
It is not easy to find a master who can repair magic weapons in such a remote area.
The simple villagers didn't know how to thank Li Yao.
One villager simply slaughtered the big fat pig prepared for the New Year.
Many stupid children thought that the Chinese New Year was about to start, so they ran around on the grain drying ground with snot in their noses, cheering and laughing like silver bells.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, uncles and aunts, I want to check them one by one slowly.
There is really nothing I can do because they are too worn out.
As long as there is still a glimmer of hope, I will try my best to repair these wooden cows!"
Li Yao said with a smile.
After three months of experience, Li Yao is now completely different from when he first set out.
If his friends saw him, they would definitely be shocked.
He was slightly taller by half a centimeter than a hundred days ago, and looked a little thinner.
Living in the wild for a long time made his skin dark, his hair was messy and curled, and his beard was unkempt, making him look a little slovenly.
He was wearing an ordinary coarse cloth work clothes, covered with dust and oil stains.
At first glance, he looked like the most ordinary field worker.
The biggest change was his temperament.
