"Something cropped up. Uncle Zhao will come over later. We'll wait for him here," Lin Yi returned to the car and said to Zhao Wanting, who was waiting.
A huge question mark appeared on Zhao Wanting's head.
"Father? Why did he come over? Isn't it just some rats?"
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and looked horrified. "Did someone die? Brother Xiaoyi, you saw the corpse, right?"
What was going on?
Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had to admit that little girls' imaginations were truly rich.
He consoled, "Don't think too much. It's just that there are some rat corpses in front, and there are a little too many corpses. After I told Uncle Zhao, he said he wanted to come and take a look."
"This…" Zhao Wanting's expression relaxed and she pouted. "With just this little matter, Father has to make a special trip. It's very likely that the owner of this place used some rat poison and poisoned a little too many in one go."
"Yes, yes, yes. Uncle Zhao is indeed making a fuss over nothing."
The two of them chatted as they waited at the edge of the sky. During this time, Zhao Wanting was a little curious about what the scene in front of her looked like. However, Lin Yi described the scene in a very disgusting manner, so she instantly had no intention of getting out of the car.
Zhao Aiguo arrived very quickly. In a few minutes, his car arrived at the scene.
It could be seen that this middle-aged man was very anxious.
However, this anxiety disappeared after seeing Lin Yi and Zhao Wanting.
After greeting his daughter, Zhao Aiguo hurriedly greeted Lin Yi.
"Xiaoyi, where is that place? Bring me there to take a look. Wanting, stay in the car for a while. Don't get out of the car." There were dire beast corpses in this place, and he was worried about the existence of other dire beasts. It was safest for ordinary people to hide in sturdy cars.
(Wait, a car?)
Where did these two fellows get the car from?
Seeing Zhao Aiguo's confusion, Lin Yi smiled and explained, "I feel that it's inconvenient to take public transport every day so I bought a car. Don't worry, Uncle Zhao. I've already gotten my driver's license a few years ago."
"You have the entire car at a moment's notice. You're really something." Zhao Aiguo shook his head and didn't interfere too much.
Lin Yi brought Zhao Aiguo to the rice field. Looking at the large rat corpses all over the ground, Zhao Aiguo gasped.
"So many fierce beasts?!"
"Fierce beasts?" Lin Yi asked curiously.
Zhao Aiguo nodded. He hesitated for a moment before answering, "This is basic knowledge. Many organizations know about it, so there's no harm in telling you."
"The increase in the spiritual qi in the air isn't only beneficial to humans, but it also gives all living beings the possibility of becoming stronger. These animals don't have the martial arts secret manuals and cultivation arts of humans, but they can completely absorb spiritual energy instinctively. When spiritual qi acts on the body, it also allows them to possess a stronger physique than before.
"Animals with excellent talent possess lethality that far surpasses ordinary animals through the strengthening of their bodies. We call these animals fierce beasts.
As he spoke, Zhao Aiguo touched the rat corpse on the ground.
"These rats are big, their claws are sharp, and their muscles are strong. Any one of them has the strength to defeat an adult. When these dozen or so rats gather together, even ordinary martial artists have to retreat a little.
"I just don't know how they died. They actually died so miserably."
"I killed them," Lin Yi suddenly interrupted.
"Even if you killed them, then… what?! You killed them?" Zhao Aiguo didn't pay attention at first, but after saying a few words, he suddenly understood what Lin Yi meant.
He looked at Lin Yi in shock, his gaze filled with distrust.
"I really killed him. You'll know when you see the footprints." Lin Yi pointed at his shoes which were still stained with blood and also at the bloody footprints on the ground.
"But didn't you just cultivate for a few days?" Zhao Aiguo knew Lin Yi's personality. At a time like this, Lin Yi definitely wouldn't joke around.
Lin Yi smiled reservedly. "Cultivators have special methods."
"That's true."
Hearing this, Zhao Aiguo recalled the few cultivators he had seen before and nodded in agreement.
"But I didn't kill all of them. There were still three rats that managed to escape."
"Which direction?"
"Northeast."
"Alright, I understand."
Zhao Aiguo memorized the location and turned to ask Lin Yi, "Then what do you plan to do with these rat corpses?"
"Deal with it?" Lin Yi was a little puzzled. "Buried or burned? I wonder if there's a virus on it. Why don't we just burn it?"
"Don't." Zhao Aiguo immediately stopped him. "How can we burn such good stuff? Many organizations are collecting the corpses of dire beasts, and the price isn't cheap. It would be a waste to burn it."
"This can be sold for money?" Lin Yi was a little surprised. In his opinion, these small animals that couldn't even be considered spirit beasts had no other use other than being used as food.
"Why not?"
"If we can research a way for them to absorb spiritual energy to strengthen their bodies, wouldn't we have another cultivation path that is different from martial artists and cultivators?"
"Xiaoyi, I know that you joined a cultivation sect and are using the cultivation arts that have been passed down to you. However, you have to be careful. You mustn't be stubborn when cultivating. It's not advisable to do things behind closed doors. You have to know how to fully utilize the characteristics of modern science and technology."
"Cultivation methods are all thought up by humans. In the past, no matter how powerful the brains of immortal cultivators were, were they as powerful as supercomputers now? In the past, no matter how strong the eyesight of immortal cultivators was, could they see the atoms of molecules under the microscope?
"If you follow the old path completely, you will only nurture a traditional backward cultivator with low strength. Only by combining cultivation with modern science and technology and the current world's concrete reality, taking the unique cultivation path of the new era, can you give birth to a super strong cultivator who surpasses the past and present and surpasses the era.
(キ`゚Д゚ ́)!!
He was stunned.
Previously, Lin Yi wasn't too surprised that rats could be sold for money, but Zhao Aiguo's words completely shocked him.
"Uncle Zhao… you… you… when did you become so cultured?"
Zhao Aiguo blushed. "This is our slogan. I'm just carrying out our spirit."
"Oh, I see." Lin Yi was enlightened.
He almost suspected that Zhao Aiguo had been successfully possessed.
The slogan made a lot of sense, and Lin Yi was completely convinced. However, there were some things that Zhao Aiguo wasn't right about.
According to the memories Lin Yi had obtained, the computing speed of a Nascent Soul cultivator's brain exceeded that of an ordinary computer, and the computing speed of a Soul Formation cultivator far exceeded that of a supercomputer. As for things like molecules and atoms, they had special methods. One could see them at the Golden Core Realm, let alone the Nascent Soul avatar.
Such publicity might be because the level of this world was relatively low before. It was more likely that none of the inheritances were passed down.
However, what Zhao Aiguo said after that wasn't wrong. Since he was born in this era, he had to fully integrate cultivation with the actual conditions of this era and make full use of modern technology.
And this was something he couldn't do alone.
