Chapter 1, The Exiled Immortal

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

As Lin Mu walked, he pondered what he could do. In fact, Lin Mu possessed many skills, but those were only applicable when he had magical powers. Moreover, from Fan Xiaoxiao, Lin Mu learned that the present was different from the past, and many of the things he knew were no longer useful.

Fan Xiaoxiao put on the long shirt handed over by Lin Mu and asked, "Are you a student at Binhai University?"

After cursing for a while, Lin Mu felt much more at ease.

Lin Mu followed Fan Xiaoxiao to the cafeteria, where Fan Xiaoxiao was once again astonished by Lin Mu's astonishing appetite

Lin Mu looked at the screwdriver in the uncle's hand, feeling no trace of the magical aura. He said, "What kind of magical artifact is this? How can it be even stranger than mine!"

Lin Mu glanced and noticed that both the middle-aged man and the girl were ordinary people, without any fluctuations of spiritual energy

Fan Xiaoxiao looked at the astonishingly large appetite of Lin Mu and said, "You are not a student, so who are you?"

Upon opening her eyes, the beautiful woman found that the older man had already disappeared, leaving only Lin Mu smiling at her.

Lin Mu's daily food consumption was equivalent to the amount of money Fan Xiaoxiao spends on food in a week

Regarding Fan Xiaoxiao's evaluation, Lin Mu remained noncommittal, as at that moment, his mind was occupied with how to live on Earth two thousand years later. Moreover, based on Lin Mu's earlier perception, Earth was no longer suitable for cultivation, and it seemed that his desire to return to the celestial realm was likely to be a distant dream.

At the summit of Yushan, a youth with an exceptionally pale complexion, dressed in a long robe as if he had traversed from ancient times, stood beneath the dark, ominous clouds. He pointed at a thunderbolt as thick as his arm and shouted angrily: "Damn it! If you have the ability, why don't the four of you strike me dead! I merely consumed the mount of your Eastern Emperor, drank the dragon's blood of your Western Emperor, ingested the elixir of your Southern Emperor, and stole the spiritual herbs of your Northern Emperor. Do you four old geezers really need to go this far against me? You have already cast me down to the mortal realm, and yet you have also rendered 99% of my power useless..."

Help...

Ten minutes later, the rain stopped. Fan Xiaoxiao glanced at the motionless Lin Mu and felt a surge of anger, saying: "Hey, are we going or not! If you’re not going, then you can starve on your own!"

Gulu!

The peculiar pairing of Fan Xiaoxiao and Lin Mu attracted countless glances at the foot of the mountain. The reason is simple: it is solely because the two were dressed in an exceedingly bizarre manner

Don't! ''

Hastily arriving at the ground floor of her dormitory with Lin Mu, Fan Xiaoxiao briefed Lin Mu and then quickly ascended the stairs

Lin Mu shook his head, but before he could respond, his stomach let out an embarrassing growl.

Listening to the discussions of those around her, Fan Xiaoxiao wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in, while Lin Mu remained completely oblivious to it all

Fan Xiaoxiao, seeing that Lin Mu was ignoring her, stomped her foot in anger and, feeling indignant, chose not to pay any more attention to Lin Mu

Lin Mu shrugged and said, "That's how they were driven away!"

The middle-aged man was convinced that Lin Mu was here to cause trouble. He suddenly pulled out a screwdriver from behind and threatened, "Kid, it seems that I have no choice but to give you a thorough lesson today!"

The beautiful woman realized that she had been saved and quickly got up to tidy her torn and disheveled clothes

My name is Lin Mu

Recruiting chefs

Lin Mu retorted without a moment's thought: "Why?"

Fan Xiaoxiao pouted her lips, clearly dissatisfied with Lin Mu's response: "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. How stingy!"

The beautiful woman took the long shirt handed over by Lin Mu and said: "Thank you, my name is Fan Xiaoxiao"

These two individuals are truly avant-garde, engaging in performance art

While Lin Mu was deep in thought, faint cries for help drifted over with the wind

As the most promising and handsome culinary deity in the celestial realm, Lin Mu ultimately fell from grace and was banished to the mortal world after offending the Four Great Celestial Emperors. He also had ninety-nine percent of his powers stripped away, now equivalent to an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator

The beautiful woman looked at the trees and, with a flushed face, said: "Could you lend me your clothes?"

The rain has not yet stopped, and the two can only wait in the pavilion for the rain to cease

Upon seeing these four characters, Lin Mu immediately had an idea: "I have completely forgotten the things I am best at!"

Fan Xiaoxiao observed that Lin Mu seemed to have taken her words to heart, and with great satisfaction said: "It is not too late for you to respond as a wayward son now. After you finish your meal, head north for two kilometers, and you will find a talent service center where you can look for job opportunities."

The girl saw the trees and, as if grasping a lifeline, exclaimed: "Quick, save me... Save me!"

The middle-aged man trembled as he looked at Lin Mu, noticing that Lin Mu seemed to have no further actions. He hurriedly rolled and crawled down the mountain.

The middle-aged man stared at Lin Mu's actions as if he had seen a ghost, his bulging eyes seemingly about to pop out of their sockets, as if he had truly encountered a specter

The air in the campus after the rain is exceptionally fresh, and with the various beautiful women like the warblers and swallows, Lin Mu suddenly feels that the mortal world seems quite pleasant.

The delicate garments on the beautiful woman have been torn into shreds by the older man, and the skirt beneath has been reduced to a web-like state by him

Lin Mu had food in his mouth, and Fan Xiaoxiao did not hear clearly what Lin Mu was saying. She thought he was referring to "idle people" and earnestly advised Yu and the library: "You can't go on like this. If you continue to be aimless, you might not even be able to afford food in the future. With prices so high now, there are many places to spend money. I advise you to find a job."

In 2013, Lin Mu furrowed his brows and murmured it again, unable to help but exclaim: "It has already been over two thousand years."

Lin Mu is no longer an immortal who does not need to eat; he is merely an ordinary foundation-building cultivator now

The middle-aged man was taken aback by Lin Mu's words, wondering what on earth was going on. He felt he had encountered a fool. However, looking at Lin Mu's handsome features, he didn't seem like a fool at all. The middle-aged man, with a fierce expression, said: "Kid, I don't care whether you're genuinely foolish or just pretending to be, if you don't get lost right now, I'll make you regret it!"

Aren't they from another time period?

When the uncle saw the delicate-looking child Lin Mu behind him, he threatened with a fierce expression, "Get out of the way! Don't ruin my good fortune!"

At this moment, Lin Mu finally realized what was happening and took off the long gown he was wearing

Lin Mu looked at the middle-aged man with a fierce expression, his face devoid of any emotion. He glanced at the beautiful woman on the ground and said, "Since she is unwilling, I suggest you let it go, uncle."

As he walked, Lin Mu suddenly caught a whiff of a delicious aroma, and following the scent, he spotted a small restaurant with a modest facade.

Although he was demoted, Lin Mu was never a person who resigned himself to despair. He never knew what it meant to give up. Soon, Lin Mu adjusted himself and began to observe everything around him

How did you just drive that person away

Lin Mu repeated the previous question: "What dynasty is it now?"

The beautiful woman did not understand why Lin Mu kept fixating on this question, but she still replied: "It is now June 4, 2013"

The girl was shouting for help loudly while simultaneously pushing the uncle away with her hands

Lin Midao: "Immortal!"

Certainly, this is not the place that attracts Lin Mu; what attracts Lin Mu is a piece of red paper posted on the glass door of a small restaurant

Although her hair bun has become disheveled, it still cannot conceal the girl's beauty, with her lovely oval face. Her elegantly arched eyebrows and delicate lips are no less enchanting than those of a celestial fairy.

Lin Mu came to his senses and said, "Uncle, may I ask what dynasty it is now?"

The beautiful woman looked at Lin Mu, truly unsure whether he was genuinely foolish or pretending to be so. Embarrassed and angry, she stamped her foot and said, "My clothes have been torn to shreds, and I have nothing left to wear"

Lin Mu stepped forward and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder

"I have already given you all my money, what more do you want?" the girl said, her voice trembling slightly

Standing atop the mountain and gazing at the unfamiliar buildings below, Lin Mu murmured to himself: "What dynasty is this?"

Lin Mu nodded and accepted Fan Xiaoxiao's invitation

The middle-aged man saw that Lin Mu did not respond, so he reached out and pushed Lin Mu, saying: "I am talking to you! Are you deaf or something?"

The sound of the distress call was greatly diminished by the storm; if it were not for Lin Mu's exceptional hearing, it would likely have been completely overlooked

A middle-aged man who was busy with his work was suddenly tapped on the shoulder. Startled like a bird startled by an arrow, he quickly turned his body around

Lin Mu looked at the strange attire of the two individuals and asked in confusion, "What kind of clothing is this? It's so fascinating!"

When Lin Mu ascended, it was during the Han Dynasty. Unbeknownst to him, Lin Mu has already spent two thousand years in the celestial realm, along with books.

Help!

The beautiful woman waited for a long time without any movement, and only then dared to secretly open her eyes

Although Lin Mu does not know what the Talent Service Center does, it is sufficient that he can find a job

Following the sound, Lin Mu quickly located the source of the cries for help, which was in a small pavilion at the top of the mountain. A middle-aged man dressed as a laborer was frantically cornering a disheveled and pale-faced young girl against the wall.

The middle-aged man was tormented by the trees to the point of desperation, and he reached out to stab at them. The beautiful woman lying on the ground, upon witnessing this scene, was so frightened that she quickly closed her eyes

Ten minutes later, Fan Xiaoxiao changed into a new outfit and returned Lin Mu's clothes to him, saying: "Alright, let's go!"

Hearing Lin Mu's stomach growl, Fan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh: "To thank you for saving me, let me treat you to a meal"

Lin Mu put down his chopsticks and began to seriously contemplate Fan Xiaoxiao's words. He indeed needed a job to earn money; otherwise, he might truly starve to death. If a dignified immortal were to die of starvation, that would be quite a significant joke.

Before Fan Xiaoxiao finished her meal, she received a phone call and left. After Lin Mu finished his meal, he also left the cafeteria

... ...

Lin Mu glanced at the girl lying on the ground and realized that she was indeed a rare beauty

Lin Mu responded with an acknowledgment and followed Fan Xiaoxiao down the mountain

Lin Mu looked at the screwdriver that had been thrust towards him, grabbed it with one hand, and with a gentle twist, broke the screwdriver, which was as thick as his thumb. Holding it in his hand, Lin Mu said: "So it turns out it's not a treasure, just a piece of scrap metal"

The weather in June is indeed capricious; one moment it is bright and sunny, and the next it is overcast with dark clouds, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder, as if the world is coming to an end
