Chapter 214: New Tasks
If he knew earlier, he should have sold that blood for spirit stones.
The person in front of him sighed and said, "A single drop of blood can rival spirit medicines; I wonder just what kind of figure this senior is. If I could become that person’s disciple, that would be great."
"That’s right, that’s right," the young man nodded.
He continued to walk about and gather more information.
What he heard was all the same: No one had found anything, and the only gains that people had made was the spirit blood.
Some people guessed that the senior had left already, while others said that someone had found the senior and was hiding him.
There were all kinds of guesses, but no one had any evidence.
After going around and seeing that no one suspected him, the young man felt quite at ease.
After walking around, he bought some food before returning home.
Within the room, the person was still lying on the bed with a pale face, looking incredibly weak.
The young man roughly examined him and found that he was still breathing, and his blood was still circulating.
This meant that this person was still alive but was just unconscious because of his injuries.
After sighing, the young man began to make food.
As a transmigrator, his cooking skills were quite good. It was just that he was limited by his tools and ingredients and could not make anything amazing.
Thinking of the senior lying in the room, he made some porridge and prepared to bring it over.
Even though this senior did not even need to eat anymore, it was still something he should do.
That way, after this person woke up, perhaps he would treat him more favorably.
However, he was surprised to see that that person had already woken up when he returned to the room.
Sitting on the bed, Sharky struggled to get up and looked out the door.
There, the young man was holding a bowl of porridge.
Looking at Sharky, who had woken up, he looked a bit surprised and stood there dumbly.
However, he quickly came to his senses and immediately knelt and kowtowed.
"I pay my respects to the senior," he said with a look of reverence.
After coming to this world for ten or so years, his pride and arrogance as a transmigrator had been stamped out.
In this world, he had seen far too many wretched things and knew his position clearly.
Compared to those higher beings, mortals like him were like ants. If they dared to show any disrespect, these seniors would not hesitate to kill them.
Facing someone like this, there was no such thing as being too respectful.
Seeing the young man acting like this, Sharky felt a bit surprised.
Following this, he also felt quite startled.
Right after waking up, his strength was incredibly weak. Not only was his body on the verge of collapse, but even his soul was injured.
However, he still had his Fortune Mark and could see things that others could not.
This young man had average looks and could only be said to be a bit good looking.
He wore an ordinary gray robe and only seemed quite mature.
However, in Sharky’s eyes, things were not that simple.
There was a faint golden Fortune above that young man’s head, and within that golden Fortune, there was a bit of violet that gave off a dignified and noble power.
Seeing this scene, Sharky felt quite stunned.
This was undoubtedly Fortune, and incredibly dense Fortune at that.
That violet Fortune was higher level than even Sharky’s Fortune back then; there was a massive gap between them.
This was someone with incredibly great and vast Fortune.
At this moment, the young man’s Fortune had already started burning and was gradually spreading out.
Seeing this, a searing hot feeling came from the Fortune Mark.
Following this, Sharky’s vision once again changed.
Ahead, the young man’s Fortune was breaking out and formless ripples spread out. When they reached Sharky’s body, they wrapped around his fate and brought it into the young man’s Fortune.
Seeing this scene, Sharky’s expression did not change and he deeply looked at the young man.
Now, he understood why he had appeared here.
This young man’s Fortune was simply too great, and once it broke out, it instinctively affected his surroundings.
The reason why Sharky had appeared here was most likely due to the influence of this person’s Fortune.
In a sense, for Sharky to appear here and to be found by this young man was inevitable.
After all, from how vast this person’s Fortune was, once Sharky, someone who represented massive opportunity, appeared, he would definitely be caught onto by this person.
He inwardly shook his head and understood why he had appeared here.
In front of him, the young man felt incredibly nervous.
He knelt on the ground with his head lowered, not daring to look at Sharky.
The longer Sharky did not speak, the more nervous he felt.
However, after a while, Sharky’s voice sounded out.
"You may get up," Sharky said softly as he smiled.
His voice was gentle and had a warmth to it.
Hearing his words, the young man felt much more at ease.
No matter if this person was pretending or was actually like this, it seemed that the person was willing to talk with him and did not see him as an ant.
This was the best case scenario for him.
"Where is this?" Sharky lay back down on the bed and asked with a pale face.
"This is the Desolate Region," the young man said with a respectful look.
"Desolate Region?" Sharky nodded with a calm expression. He then continued, "Tell me about some of the recent big events here."
"Recent big events?"
The young man thought before answering.
He told Sharky about all of the big events that had happened recently, and he could not help but look at Sharky.
In actuality, the biggest thing that had happened here recently was Sharky descending here.
From what the young man said, Sharky knew that he had caused much noise when he had come here. However, he did not care much.
’Desolate Region?’ he looked down and thought to himself.
And sighed a relief, that his wife had safely passed the passage.
The young man had told him what kind of place the Desolate Region was.
It was a place for exiling cultivators, and most people here used to be cultivators or the descendants of cultivators.
This was an incredibly remote and desolate place.
"Thank you for your trouble."
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and waved his hand and took out some things, "From how things seem, I’ll be staying here for some time."
"This will be my rent," Sharky said softly as he gave those things over.
They were a few bottles of medicinal pills; they were not anything special and were only some ordinary spirit pills.
However, even though they were not much to Sharky, to this young man, they were exactly what he needed.
With Sharky’s experience, he could naturally see through this boy.
Putting aside Fortune, this young man’s body was very powerful, but he did not have any cultivation.
As such, giving him these low-grade spirit pills were quite appropriate.
"Not at all, not at all," the young man said respectfully. Looking at the bottles of spirit pills, a look of delight appeared on his face.
He walked out of the room so Sharky could rest peacefully.
After walking out of the room, the young man hurriedly opened the bottles and had a look, spirit qi wafted out, bringing with it a unique fragrance.
Smelling this and sensing the spirit qi contained within, the young man felt exhilarated.
"They’re all high-grade spirit pills," he thought to himself.
The reason why the Desolate Region was named so was because there was little to no spirit qi here.
In such a place, spirit grasses could not grow, and it was incredibly difficult to cultivate.
As such, precious spirit stones and spirit pills were even more precious, and they were incredibly expensive.
For a mortal like this young man, even if he sold his life, he would not be able to obtain a single spirit stone.
And yet, he had obtained so many spirit pills so easily.
The young man knew that if he brought out these spirit pills, he would be killed and plundered by countless people.
On the other hand, that person had casually given these out to him.
He was definitely a great figure.
If he could hang on to this person, his gains in future would be evident.
"It’s a pity..." Looking at these spirit pills, a slightly bitter expression appeared on his face.
So what if he had these spirit pills? With his constitution, no matter how many spirit pills he absorbed, he would not be able to internalize them.
As such, rather than giving them to him, it was better to give them to someone else.
Thinking about that, he sighed and looked to the side.
There, the young girl was sitting in front of a little wooden table, peacefully eating porridge.
Seeing the young man look over, she smiled, looking quite cute.
The young man could not help but pat her head and smile as well.
After transmigrating from his original world to this world, his parents had died when he was very young, leaving him to roam about by himself.
This young girl was an orphan he had picked up, and he had raised her himself; she was essentially his child.
However, she was different from him.
This girl’s talent was quite good, and even though he did not know just how good it was, it was definitely better than some so-called geniuses.
It would be a waste for him to use these spirit pills, so he might as well give them to her.
He smiled before sitting next to the young girl and began to eat as well.
———
Within the room, Sharky sat on the bed and examined himself.
The results were not good.
Even though he had barely survived passing through the passageway, he had paid a terrible price.
His body’s current situation was simply terrifying.
Within the silent room, Sharky examined himself and could not help but frown.
After going through that passageway, his True Lord body had been greatly ravaged, and even his cultivation foundation showed signs of collapsing.
And that was only his body.
The injuries he had taken to his soul were even more severe.
His powerful soul had been greatly weakened and seemed like it might fall apart.
"I finally reached the True Martial World. But was this the result?"
Sitting on the bed, Sharky sighed and did not know what to say.
He even didn’t find his Protonix and Cosmic Nexus DNA.
With his current situation, it could be said that he did not have much hope.
No matter if it was his body or soul, they had been heavily injured. For him to maintain his current state was already quite good, let alone continue to cultivate.
He had essentially been crippled.
Moreover, even if he did not do anything, he most likely would not have too much time.
Even if he could barely live on and seem like nothing was wrong, the situation within his body would still be terrible.
At most, he would most likely die within a few years.
He could not help but shake his head, feeling quite frustrated.
He had finally reached this new region through so much effort, but this had been the outcome.
He might as well have died in that passageway, giving him a clean death without so many complications.
Right now, he could sense that this region was quite different.
Compared to the world that he had been in before, the pressure in this world was much lighter and did not feel so heavy.
Within this world, the pressure on cultivators was much less, and even though there were still limits, it was not like that other world where the True Lord was essentially the end.
In other words, this world had the possibility of surpassing True Lords.
However, Sharky could only watch this and could not actually take advantage of it himself.
"It’s fine."
Sitting on the bed, Sharky shook his head and quickly settled his emotions.
If he couldn’t cultivate, then he couldn’t cultivate.
For him to even reach this world was already a success; it was not important whether or not he could continue to cultivate.
Right now, he could only comfort himself like this.
"Let’s see what the System is saying."
Many tasks appeared when he became unconscious. So, he has no time seeing the system notifications.
But now, he can look at them.

"Ha," Sharky chuckled, as he murmured, "I didn’t even know how to survive there. And the system gave me these tasks."
Soon, some footsteps sounded out from outside as the young man from before entered.
He had some food in his hands and respectfully put it down.
"What is your name?" Sharky asked as he looked at the young man.
The young man froze for a moment before answering seriously.
His name was Becky and was the descendant of a cultivator family. Because his family had violated a taboo, their family’s experts had been killed and the remainders had been exiled to the Desolate Region.
