I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 114 Many receive the Dharma, the Dharma master commands respect.
8:50 a.m.

Huge light screens suddenly appeared in the skies around the world.

Countless viewers flooded into the live stream:
"Hey, it's been brought forward today?"

"Did Qi Shen encounter something good?"

"It's supposed to be nine o'clock, not a minute or a second more, it's not nine o'clock."

"Won't they start earlier next time? I can't even wake up at 8 a.m., I can't possibly get up early just to watch the live stream, can I?"

"Qi Shen: Can't you guys just waste a little bit of your sleep time to watch my live stream?"

"Still sleeping? These days, everyone's practically getting up at four every morning to practice martial arts. Those who get up at five have already reached the Transformation Realm, those who get up at six are at the Dark Realm, those who get up at seven are at the Manifest Realm, and those who get up after eight deserve to have never even stepped into the Manifest Realm!"

"Stop cursing, stop cursing. I'm already at the playground. I've never seen this many people on the playground before. Martial arts isn't even a required course, does it have to be this crowded?"

"Martial arts are not a required course in school, but they are a required course in life. I have to go and tutor the beautiful twin young ladies in their cultivation now."

"You're some rich girl from a galgame, aren't you? And you even have an affection rating system above your head?"

"Hey, this isn't Qi Shen's live stream. It looks like all the people here are Korean exploration team members."

"Damn, I have a bad feeling."

"It's a tonic, but I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Don't spoil my appetite."

"Help! Someone please help!"

……

In fact, the exploration team members in the footage had already sensed that something was wrong.

They were carrying a lot of equipment and walking through a light red dense forest. Drones led the way, robotic dogs guarded the surroundings, and real-time intelligence from satellites showed no problems in the vicinity. They also avoided areas with large predators.

Despite seemingly being fully prepared and safe, one of the team members walking in front suddenly collapsed.

Medical team members nearby immediately rushed forward and immediately noticed that the team member, whose face was dark blue and whose body was convulsing, had been poisoned.

But where did the toxins come from?
This person has never been bitten by any poisonous insects or snakes.
Before anyone could figure it out...

The next second, as if it were contagious, one after another, the exploration team members fell down.

"The environment! There's a problem with the environment here..."

One of the team members clutched his own neck and let out a scream.

Upon hearing his reminder, the people at the back of the line quickly ran backward.

But before they had run very far, they all collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, apart from some still-operating machinery, only scattered corpses remained on the spot.

Seeing this scene, countless viewers felt a chill run down their spines.

The joint command was thrown into chaos. They quickly issued orders to nearby teams to avoid the area and attempted to deploy still-developing robotic equipment to pull out the poisoned individuals.

Just as the joint command center was busy with urgent tasks, brand-new light screens replaced the previous ones, and the familiar man and pig reappeared in everyone's sight.

"Good morning everyone."

"Everyone should be full of energy for a new day."

Hearing this, the audience was speechless:
"Full of energy? More like full of resentment! Who told you to be so scary first thing in the morning?!"

"A huge number of people died first thing in the morning, did you know that?"

"Sigh, their faces look so much like my vegetable buns after being poisoned. I can't even eat these buns anymore."

"To be fair, this matter has nothing to do with Qi Shenzhen. Even without the live broadcast screen, the people inside would still have been poisoned. On the contrary, the screen actually allowed us to know what they went through before they died, which greatly shortened the investigation time."

"That's true. It's heartbreaking to watch. Humans have advanced technology and are quite powerful, but there are always places that are hard to conquer, especially since they are too fragile and can easily perish."

"That is why Qi Shen's public release of martial arts can be described as a great deed. It has enabled countless people to improve their health and increase their lifespan, and has led the entire human race to undergo a transformation. This is an achievement that should be recorded in history."

"Don't mention anything else, I'm going to practice martial arts right now. Ever since the martial arts were made public, my wife has improved rapidly, and I'm completely drained every night. This martial arts really needs to be practiced."

"Hilarious! To prevent those old men next door from reaching the Ming Jin realm before me, I've already put laxatives in their water. Today, I'll train them all day and crush them!"

"To be honest, practicing martial arts isn't necessarily a good thing. My kid broke a desk at school, and the teacher was just calling us over. Sigh, he doesn't know his own strength. What if he hits a classmate?"

……

After chatting and joking with the audience in front of the camera for a while, Qi Xuan didn't linger any longer and rode Sunday to continue exploring.

According to the instructions on the Nangong token, he was not far from the tribe's location. If he traveled at full speed, he could arrive in a day at most.

However, to avoid suddenly encountering members of the other tribe, and given the unfamiliar and dangerous surroundings, Qi Xuan decided to proceed cautiously and explore carefully to avoid any unexpected events.

Before long, he entered a light red woodland.

As he entered the woods, the spectators outside became anxious:

"Qi Shen, come out quickly! That place is poisonous!"

"Yes! The team members died suddenly in the same environment from poisoning!"

"Get out of here quickly! That poison is colorless and invisible; we still don't know what it is. If we wait any longer, it will be too late!"

"Even if you are an unparalleled grandmaster, you can't withstand it for long. And even if you can, where will you find the antidote afterward?"

"I'm so anxious! How come he's completely oblivious? I really want to go in and beat him up!"

"Oh no, he's already gone deep inside. Everyone, let's get ready to start the meal."

"Holy crap, I haven't had breakfast yet."

……

Under the worried gazes of countless people, Qi Xuan swaggered into the newly proven Death Forest.

However, after walking for quite a while, nothing unusual happened to him.

This has led outside viewers to begin to have doubts—

Could it be that the Supreme Grandmaster's resistance to poison is so strong?

But on Sunday, he seemed completely fine.

Or is it that there was no toxin in that area at all? Or was the toxin spread through other means?
As everyone was wondering, they heard Qi Xuan casually introduce:
"Everyone should be careful when entering this Blood Leaf Forest in the future. These Blood Leaf Trees will continuously secrete trace amounts of toxins into the outside world. If you don't come into contact with them much, you won't feel anything, but if you stay nearby for too long and come into contact with them a lot, it may be too late to treat them."

As for why nothing happened between me and Sunday, the reason is quite simple.

Have you forgotten how much silver winged goat honey we ate before? That stuff can increase your resistance to toxins.

"Let alone this little Bloodleaf Tree, even if its poison were ten times stronger, it would still be easily dealt with."

Hearing Qi Xuan's explanation, everyone realized what was going on. But then they felt increasingly uneasy:

"Damn it, I get so angry whenever you mention silver-winged pheasant honey. Is that how you eat it?!"

"It would be one thing if you carefully licked the hive clean, but you keep spilling bits and pieces here and there. You deserve to die!"

"And that grilled meat, who the hell told you to brush this honey on the grilled meat?!"

"Stop cursing, stop cursing, didn't we still manage to get the hive?"

"Let's not even talk about how our hive isn't even as big as his. Just consider the amount of honeycomb inside the hive. If each of the world's eight billion people could get even one milliliter of that honeycomb, would they?"

"Humans are worse than pigs! Humans are worse than pigs! I don't even eat as well as a pig, what's the point of my life? Let's jump, brothers! Let's be reborn as pigs in our next life!"

"Alright, alright, reincarnate as my sow, and I'll write you a tally mark every day!"

……

Amidst the ongoing discussions among netizens, Qi Xuan easily concluded his morning's schedule.

When the live stream resumed in the afternoon, he was no longer in the Blood Leaf Forest.

"We've been on the road since this morning without stopping to rest. We'll postpone our live broadcast this afternoon and take a break first."

"We can't just rest idly. What should we talk about? Oh right, I almost forgot. Last night I dreamed about a martial arts manual, but not a technique, just a set of moves called 'Black Jade Skill.' I'll take this opportunity to teach it to you all."

The dream was just an excuse. The "Black Jade Skill" was actually a trial card he won last night. It was a rare martial arts skill trial card that had nothing to do with cultivating immortality. After experiencing it, he didn't even need to practice it. He memorized it all directly.

Since we're just idling around anyway, let's take it out and pass it on to Blue Star. Consider it a protective method for martial arts cultivation.

"Before I impart the Dharma, I would like to remind everyone that this Dharma is from my own hand and is only for self-defense. You must not rely on force to bully the weak, be brave and violent, or do evil."

However, considering the widespread dissemination of this technique, it's inevitable that some people will use it for illegal activities in the future. If you encounter anyone doing this, please remember to stop them immediately and hand them over to the authorities for prosecution.

"Let's skip the rest and get straight to the main story..."

As Qi Xuan began explaining the "Black Jade Skill," the world once again witnessed a surge in learning.

Countless people hurriedly started filming with cameras and mobile phones; those without such equipment simply used notebooks or even children's homework to record.

The afternoon's live broadcast passed quickly amidst the instruction of "Black Jade Skill".

When the live stream ended, the entire internet erupted in excitement:
"Damn it, you're recording my movements in the toilet! My hemorrhoids are about to flare up from squatting like that. Can you please not transmit your skills to me while I'm on the toilet next time?"

"What's that? After I finished writing, I realized that I had written part of it on the test paper. I hope the teacher will deduct fewer points because of the technique."

"My phone ran out of battery halfway through recording. Has anyone finished recording yet?"

"Who the hell sent these recordings of martial arts techniques? What the hell are those 'uh-huh' and 'ah-ah' sounds? And why are some of them saying 'no'?"

"Hurry up and buy some iron filings, lest we run out of them like we did with ginseng and styrax!"

"What's the point of robbing it? Didn't Qi Shen say that if there's no iron shot, coarse sand, steel balls, and mung beans can all be used as substitutes? This thing isn't an essential item."

"But since we're talking about iron sand, it's definitely the most effective."

"Students with poor grades have too many stationery items."

"The more I look at it, the more ridiculously powerful this 'Black Jade Skill' seems. After practicing it, not only can it strengthen the body and increase defense, but it also comes with fist techniques, palm techniques, and leg techniques. It's a triple benefit from one skill."

"Am I the only one who's interested in it? It can even train your penis! After training, you can poke a hole in it with one touch."

"Don't even mention it. The club has already listed the Black Jade Skill as an essential skill, and all male prostitutes have to learn it. I never thought that even though I'm a male prostitute, I still can't escape learning it."

"I would call Qi Shen the King of Ducks! A god in the hearts of all ducks!"

"I can't fucking hold back anymore. This is how you guys are ruining Qi Shen's reputation."

……

While netizens are still discussing and researching, some have already begun practicing it.

On TikTok, Sun Ge, a master at secretly profiting from others, immediately livestreamed his training journey.

In an instant, countless netizens flocked to his live stream to watch his live cultivation practice.

But soon, netizens couldn't stand it anymore.

Because his cultivation was too clumsy and his progress too slow, he struggled for a long time but still failed to master the "Black Jade Skill" and never even reached the first level.

It seems that even though the Silver Qi Grass strengthened his physique, he still has no way to improve his martial arts talent.

Fortunately, the world is not lacking in geniuses, nor in internet celebrities who love to show off.

Soon, netizens found a short video posted by Child of Nature.

In the video, his hands were clearly blackened from practice, indicating that he had successfully entered the first level of the "Black Jade Skill".

Netizens were shocked to see this:

"How long has it been? You've already mastered the basics?"

"I haven't even copied the entire manual yet!"

"What's the use of copying everything? Qi Shen spoke so quickly, I didn't even have time to understand it."

"As expected of the Child of Nature, his talent is terrifying. It seems that he will be able to master the seventh level of the Black Jade Technique in no more than a week!"

"That's amazing! The speed of cultivation is so fast, there are probably few in the whole world who can compare to it."

……

Faced with the fans' praise, the Child of Nature abandoned his previous arrogant and overbearing attitude and humbly posted:
"I have only achieved insignificant success in martial arts, far from being comparable to Qi Shen and the geniuses from all over the world. You are giving me too much credit. I have decided to study Chinese diligently from now on and strive to gain a deeper understanding of the way of martial arts."

Upon seeing this post, many people commented in agreement:

"Indeed, I also plan to learn Chinese. It's too difficult to understand these exercises if I don't know Chinese."

"I've already hired a tutor, two lessons a day, and I should be able to get a basic grasp of it in six months at the latest."

“I was reluctant to learn Chinese before, since it was too difficult. I never thought I would eventually be unable to escape this fate.”

"There's nothing we can do about it. Qi Shen is from the Great Qian Dynasty, so his explanations in Chinese are much more detailed. Some words lose their original flavor even when translated, so we still have to learn the original."

……

Aside from those discussing learning Chinese, another group focused on other details: "What level has Qi Shen reached in the Black Jade Skill?"

"Judging from his level of understanding when he was passing on his skills, he must have reached at least level five, right?"

"More than that, I think it's very likely to be the seventh level of mastery."

"Is it really that exaggerated? Didn't he just dream about the cultivation technique last night? At most, he hasn't been cultivating for more than a day. It would be amazing if he could reach the fourth or fifth level."

"Don't forget that Qi Shen is an unparalleled grandmaster. His speed of understanding and practicing techniques is definitely much faster than ours."

"That Brother Sun is still at the internal strength level, and he still can't break through the first level. A high level of cultivation doesn't mean anything."

"Holy crap, that guy doesn't even deserve to be compared to Qi Shen!"

"Think about what is written in the manual: when you reach perfection, you will return to your original simplicity, your strength will be fierce, and your skin will be as white as jade."

"It's confirmed! Qi Shen's Black Jade Technique has reached perfection!"

"Holy crap, this cultivation talent!!"

……

Class One Garden Party.

【Chrysanthemum Slightly Sweet】posted a picture of my hands and forearms that were black.

The group chat immediately became lively:
"Holy crap, late-stage diabetes? There's no hope, just wait to die."

"Waaaaah, my chrysanthemum! For the sake of our classmate relationship, I'll donate one yuan."

"Then I'll donate 50 cents."

"Give me a donation! This guy just got a million dollars, and since no one will inherit it when he dies, I'll take him."

……

[Chrysanthemum has a slightly sweet taste] I was speechless:
"We're all brothers, you can't stand seeing your buddy doing well, huh?"

The students immediately became enraged and surrounded the attacker:
"You made a fortune for nothing, fine, but how can you train so fast?!"

"Is he going to marry a fair-skinned and beautiful school beauty later on, and finally reach the pinnacle of life?"

"Damn it! You really deserve to die! I declare you the second most deserving of death in the group, after Xuanzi!"

"Why don't you hurry up and spend some money to avoid disaster? Otherwise you won't be able to stay in this group for even a day longer."

……

Helpless, [Chrysanthemum Sweet] sent a 100 RMB red envelope, and the group chat was immediately flooded with compliments:

"As expected of the second greatest martial arts prodigy in history, his moves are truly magnificent!"

"For the sake of three yuan, I'll allow you to show off in the group for one day today!"

"Hold it up, hold it up! Chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum, it has boundless power!"

"The Chrysanthemum Immortal, a powerful figure in the Central Plains, possesses great supernatural abilities and boundless magical power!"

……

[Chrysanthemum Slightly Sweet] He couldn't hold back any longer, but luckily there were other people who helped him out of the predicament.

Xue Cheng, Zhang Chu, and Song Manman all posted images of their hands turning black as they entered the first level of the "Black Jade Skill".

I couldn't help but complain right after posting Song Manman's comment:

"You mean, it's one thing to practice making your hands white, but what's with making them black? Aside from an idiot like me who needs to learn self-defense skills, what woman would be willing to do that?"

Xue Cheng comforted him, saying:
"Calm down. Your hands only turn black when you're practicing your internal energy. There's nothing unusual about them otherwise. And when it comes to actually using your martial arts to fight, who cares if you're fair-skinned or dark-skinned?"

"Why can't I tell your childhood friend that he can dream of a martial art that can turn people white? That would absolutely drive women all over the world crazy."

"Why don't you just let him dream about the 'Youthful Appearance Technique'? Do you really think he's Doraemon?"

"Hmph, you dare to contradict me in public? Do you still want to treat me to dinner?"

"I'll do whatever you say today, since I dragged you into this last time."

……

Ji Yuwei turned off her phone and looked at the bottle of silverwort extract in front of her.

This is the extract her father just obtained from other sources. Although he didn't use the Wang family's resources, he must have paid a considerable price for it.

At this moment, looking at this extract, she hesitated whether to take it.

After all, even if you take it, it can only slightly strengthen your physique and speed up your entry into the next minor realm, but it cannot completely improve your cultivation aptitude.

For example, Brother Sun even consumed the complete Silver Qi Grass, yet his current cultivation level is still stuck at the Dark Force stage.

Many geniuses who have never taken drugs are now entering the realm of hidden strength.

This is enough to prove that a single Silver Gorgon Grass is not enough to bring about a substantial improvement, let alone a mere extract.

Is it worth paying such a high price for this small progress?

Ji Yuwei hesitated.

at the same time.

The Rolls-Royce outside the villa.

The secretary, who had just started the car, glanced at Ji Yun Shen, who was resting with his eyes closed in the back seat, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:
"Chairman Ji, you went through so much trouble to get that extract, is it really necessary to give it to Miss? Wouldn't it be better for you to use it yourself?"

"You don't understand this."

Addressing his trusted confidant of eighteen years, Ji Yun Shen said calmly:

"Giving me the extract might slightly increase my strength, but then it will be useless."

"Given my status, I don't need strong personal combat skills. At most, I can hire a few experts. I don't have that much time to cultivate myself into a top expert."

“It just so happens that Weiwei wants the extract. She’s always been obedient and rarely makes requests of me. Now that she’s asked, I have to find a way to satisfy her.”

"To me, the value of the entire company may not even be as great as Vivi."

"I must do my best to nurture her and make her the most dazzling pearl in the entire Shanghai, and even the entire Daqian."

Ji Yun Shen slowly opened his eyes:
"Only in this way can we sell it for a good price."

……

Floating continent.

Night was approaching.

Qi Xuan did not continue forward, but instead found a huge tree hollow nearby to rest.

Sitting on the wooden stump in the tree hole with insect-repelling talismans pasted on it, I didn't see any mosquitoes, insects, or rodents.

"You know what, sometimes these life-related talismans are actually quite useful."

The best part is that insect-repelling talismans can be reused, unlike other talismans which are used up all at once.

Yes, he drew the insect-repelling charm from the [Multiple Items] section.

But I didn't feel it was a waste. After all, even if you land in the most valuable area of ​​the lottery, you'd probably only get the lowest level reward for a black iron or bronze-level draw.

Now, the entire bronze-level lottery system depends on the guaranteed minimum for each hundred draws.

Come to think of it, the next guaranteed minimum is coming soon.

Qi Xuan opened the lottery page.

The top right corner clearly shows 315B.

Subtracting the 70B left over from yesterday, I gained another 245B today.

"Hmph, it was indeed the right decision to release the cultivation method. Even if it's just a martial arts technique, the popularity points I gain every day have never been less than 200."

"Once we draw a suitable cultivation technique and announce it, its popularity will probably surge again."

"Maybe I can make three to five hundred a day, and then I can directly move towards the silver level."

"Just thinking about it makes me a little happy."

Qi Xuan pulled his drifting thoughts back and focused his gaze on the page in front of him.

"Let's start with a ten-pull to fill the gaps."

Qi Xuan suddenly pulled the lever.

Amidst the low, whirring music, ten orbs of light quickly fell from the lottery page.

Four ordinary objects, six spiritual objects.

After the spiritual items were obtained, there was a spiritual material, a spiritual herb, a concealment talisman, a recovery pill, a green wood pill, and a blood-bursting pill.

Tsk tsk, Bloodthirst Pill! This is only the second time he's drawn a Bloodthirst Pill.

If it weren't for this thing, he might not have been able to kill the Six-Clawed Serpent last time.

This thing provides a considerable boost to combat power.

Not bad.

Ten more pulls.

The ball of light fell, containing three ordinary items and seven spiritual items.

Among the seven spiritual items are two spiritual materials, three Rejuvenation Pills, one Spirit Absorption Pill, and one Spirit Arrow Talisman.

Although he now has a guaranteed hit charm.

However, the effects of the Spirit Arrow Talisman and the Guaranteed Hit Talisman are still different.

Most importantly, the Spirit Arrow Talisman does not require a bow and arrow; it can be shot simply by attaching the talisman, and the arrows it shoots are powerful spirit arrows that have been refined in advance by the talisman.

Even if the arrow hits the enemy's weak point, it's uncertain whether the arrow itself can penetrate the enemy's body.

But the Spirit Arrow Talisman is different; it has extremely strong penetrating damage, comparable to a third-tier talisman. The problem is that without guaranteed hit, you have to rely on your own eyesight and judgment.

Both have their own advantages and disadvantages.

What if we combine them?

"hiss……"

Qi Xuan gasped in shock, realizing he had made a significant contribution to mitigating the greenhouse effect on the spot.

"The last ten pulls."

Qi Xuan pulled the lever again.

After the ball of light fell, there were only six spiritual items left.

Two spiritual materials, two Green Wood Pills, one large fireball talisman, and one trial card.

The Great Fireball Talisman is an advanced version of the Fireball Talisman, with greatly increased power and massive burning damage. A second-tier Fireball Talisman will result in instant death upon contact, while a third-tier Fireball Talisman can cause serious injury if one is not careful.

As for the trial card...

After seeing the details, Qi Xuan's pupils constricted slightly.

Thunder Roar.

This is genuine magic.

It is neither a simple martial art, nor a move like "Swift Wind Palm" or "Sky-Splitting Kick".

This was the first time he had drawn a spell trial card.

Although "Thunder Roar" looks quite ordinary, it is, after all, a spell.

After the first time, how long will the second time be?
Qi Xuan suppressed his excitement and looked at the lottery page.

There are 15B left in the top right corner. Counting the number of pulls from the past few days, there are already 80 pulls in the pool.

This means that he will receive another bronze pool as a guarantee tomorrow!

A new guaranteed reward following the "Yin Yang Jade Crane Skill" and the "Ten Thousand Mile Tracking Talisman"!
As for the fifth level of Qi Refining, it should take another five days to break through.

He's about to gain a brand new ability!

Upon thinking of this, Qi Xuan couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

After finally calming his excitement, he didn't delay any longer and quickly entered a meditative state, immersing himself in deep spiritual practice.

Before he actually comes into contact with the Nangong tribe, his strength will surely increase significantly again.
