Chapter 5, Renaming

In this world of the original master, both material and primordial spirit are so abundant that it is hard to believe

Considering this, he is indeed facing both internal and external troubles, making his situation quite difficult

Tao Ran quickly gathered his thoughts and once again focused his attention on the rather handsome face in the mirror

Hey! Amo, Andrei, why is there still no response? Are you both dead asleep?

At this moment, Tao Ran's gaze was vacant as he dipped his hand in water and wrote the three characters 'Li Mochen' in the mirror, followed by a period of silence

At least from his perspective, all the cultivation systems in the original master's memories would mostly be regarded as demonic in the original realm.

According to this perspective, it is essential to integrate with nature, protect nature, and during practice, one must pay attention to environmental protection and avoid wastefulness

His title in the Original Dome Realm is 'Supreme Celestial King of the Infinite Purple Void', but this is merely an official title bestowed by the Langya Celestial Empire, which does not reflect the reality. However, in this world, there truly exist the Kings of All Immortals and the Lords of All Gods

When the original owner first moved in, he suffered losses twice, and all his possessions were completely looted

He thought to himself that regardless of how things were before, or how they were in the original realm, in this world, he could only be called Li Mochen. In the future, the name Tao Ran could only remain hidden within his memories

Li Mochen was a miser when he was in the Original Dome Realm, and now that he has fallen from grace, he has become even more extreme in his frugality

Just as Li Mochen was carefully examining the overhead fluorescent light to determine if there were any traces left, the knocking sound at the door rang out again with a "tap tap".

Li Mochen first took a careful look around, then with a swift kick, his figure gracefully ascended along the wall like a swallow, placing the roll of banknotes above the ceiling, behind the lampshade of the fluorescent light.

According to the memories of the original body, Tao Ran reached the Great Vehicle realm in the original dome realm, which is only equivalent to the 'Legendary' of the Western world and the 'Refining Void' of the Eastern cultivation world

However, this urgent matter must be addressed; one must first fill their own stomach before anything else

This is likely due to the differences in the environment. The original realm of the dome is resource-poor and the primordial spirits are weak, which is why practitioners emphasize 'aligning their virtues with heaven and earth, and their brightness with the sun and moon.' Not only must they minimize the use of the primordial spirits of heaven and earth during their cultivation, but they must also protect the heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and rare beasts, avoiding excessive harvesting and slaughter.

The mixed-race individuals in this world are often very beautiful, and Li Mochen's parents are both rare examples of handsome men and beautiful women. Therefore, the face of the original body is naturally fresh and elegant, charming and dashing, far superior to Tao Ran's original physique

However, he soon furrowed his brow slightly, feeling that this method of hiding money was not quite appropriate

To avoid revealing any flaws, one must start with the small things in daily life and must never neglect 'self-awareness'

Tao Ran speculated that as an outsider, he would likely not be welcomed by the practitioners of this realm, so it was better for him to keep a low profile in daily life to avoid drawing attention to his unusual presence

In summary, he is prepared to adapt to local customs, and the various rare treasures and miraculous medicines of this world can assist him in quickly regaining his strength

The environment one is in varies, and naturally, the perspective on things also differs. Moreover, the people in this world have already become aware of this issue.

However, this method can only address an urgent need. Until he and Li Mochen's lingering souls truly become one, indistinguishable from each other, he will still remain an outsider in this realm

Then the many monks in this realm also deserve Tao Ran's vigilance

These five hundred and sixty gold shields constitute his entire fortune at present and are the foundation upon which he stands; they must not be lost.

When Tao Ran's spirit entered this body, it sensed the 'rejection' and 'pressure' from this world. It was precisely for this reason that he initially chose to merge, rather than opting for the simpler methods of 'devouring' and 'refining'.

The affluent neighborhood where Li Mochen used to reside had, thanks to the efforts of numerous patrol officers, a commendable level of public safety. However, the area he currently inhabits, known as 'Wanderer', is evidently unable to enjoy such privileges

However, Li Mochen's character is likely very diligent, as every corner of the room is spotless, and the bedding on the bed is also clean and free of any unpleasant odors

However, the refrigerator is completely empty, not even a crumb of bread remains. The original owner had consumed all the food supplies before borrowing this body to be reborn

This is consistent with Li Mocheng's memories; two months after that incident, the original owner could no longer afford the property purchased with a loan by their parents. However, in accordance with the current laws of the United States, when the bank reclaimed this property, it allowed him to continue renting the house as a place to live for a period of one year

It is hard to imagine that in this world, there are so many powerful beings that surpass him

The people here have a strong appetite, believing that the more one eats, the better one eats, and consequently, the faster one's strength increases, leading to a more robust physique

After Li Mochen sighed in the tone of an American, he began to brush his teeth and wash up. Having lost the physical body of the Great Vehicle realm, he no longer possessed that pure and crystal-like form, and his face had developed a slight sheen of oil after a day without washing.

This is merely a slum located in the southern part of Atlanta, inhabited by a group of impoverished individuals, predominantly consisting of a large number of unemployed Black people and illegal immigrants. Adjacent to it is a government-built public housing project specifically designated for Black residents. Consequently, the streets are lined with streetwalkers and Black individuals peddling various drugs, with incidents of robbery and theft being commonplace. It is not unusual for groups of people to draw guns and engage in shootouts. Thus, the streets are filled with streetwalkers and Black individuals selling various drugs, with robbery and theft frequently occurring. At any moment, a group of individuals may draw their weapons and shoot at each other, or there may be a group of powerful 'outlaws' brazenly exercising their abilities in the streets.

After a night's time, Li Mochen momentarily did not react, only realizing twenty seconds later that the visitor outside was indeed calling for him

Li Mochen has no intention of being entangled in this matter, nor does he feel that he has the position to despise or criticize the practitioners of this world

Thus, Li Mochen searched through his memories and moved aside the corner of a desk in the corner, revealing a concealed shallow pit beneath it. Inside, there was a pile of banknotes of varying amounts.

Li Mochen has practiced martial arts with his father since childhood, and his swordsmanship has already reached a preliminary level of proficiency. However, faced with the firearms aimed at him from behind, he finds himself powerless.

Only after that did he become wise, making an effort to call upon friends every time he went out, and he would never carry more than ten gold shields in wealth. The rest of his possessions were kept at home

At that moment, he heard a knocking sound at the door of the room, and a male voice from outside, belonging to William, said: "Amok, have you had enough sleep? We need to go to work."

Upon regaining his composure, he swiftly took a bill from the stack of cash in his hand and placed it into his pocket. The remaining portion was then rolled into a bundle, ready to be stuffed back under the corner of the table

There is no way around it; his body is merely a Level 3 Magic Energy Swordsman, far from the realm of Void Refinement. Moreover, the cultivation system in America does not have any concept of Void Refinement, and even the Eastern civilizations, which bear some resemblance to the Original Sky Realm, do not have such a notion.

In the memories of the original owner, the public security of the American Federation is characterized by polarization

Only after thoroughly cleaning himself did Li Mochen step out to carefully examine his dwelling

Since he reached the realm of fasting, allowing him to sustain himself for extended periods by consuming only the wind and dew, how long has it been since he last experienced the sensation of hunger?

Li Mochen counted and found a total of 560 gold shields, which constituted the entirety of the original owner's wealth. According to the current prices in America, this would likely sustain him for about a month, which is indeed quite poor

This room is small, dim, and cold and damp. The walls are mottled and peeling due to years of neglect, and the air inside is filled with a musty odor

Li Mochen rubbed his grumbling and clamoring belly, and a look of helplessness once again appeared on his face

The only flaw is that this fellow's complexion appears somewhat pale, suggesting a tendency towards malnutrition

However, Li Mochen felt that the original owner's thoughts were still too simplistic. For those habitual thieves, the money hidden under the corner of the table is actually not safe. To be on the safe side, it is better to adopt a more appropriate method.

"— Li Mochen, Andrei Li Wiltonstein? Well, I wish you a new life"

It is evident from this dwelling alone that the previous owner of this body must currently be living in extreme hardship

This is not only to better integrate the remnants of Li Mochen's soul, to quickly achieve a seamless fusion with this physical body, and to unify body and spirit, but also to establish a foothold in this world
