Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

Li An's first words shocked Fan Xian beyond measure. He felt that the answer he got from using this technique was really worth it. If Li An knew what Fan Xian was thinking at the moment, he would definitely laugh three times and think to himself, Fan Xian is still too naive. In fact, this information is written in the box your mother left for you later. I just told you in advance. This is the huge advantage brought by the information gap.

"Yes, what I am going to tell you next is the truth. In the timeline of the previous civilization, humans experienced a nuclear war. They opened the door that could not be opened, which led to the end of the era and the world entered the Ice Age. Some people became extinct, while others chose to freeze themselves and wait for the opportunity to revive.

Your mother, Ye Qingmei, woke up from deep freezing. Now it has been hundreds of thousands of years since the last modern civilized society! After she woke up, she found herself in the feudal dynasty era. She was not the only one who woke up from the ice, and the place where they woke up was exactly that temple. And you, Fan Xian, although you are a native of this world, you have memories that do not belong to this world. If I am not mistaken, you should be a digitized experiment!"

"How could it be...how could this be...you said this is the Earth? The previous civilization was destroyed? And I am just a digitized test subject? What is going on? Tell me!" Fan Xian's three views were completely shattered, and at this moment he lost control of his emotions and yelled at Li Ang.

"Calm down. You should have believed what I said. My guess that you are a digitized experiment is also well-founded. People of that era chose to be frozen and buried underground. And you are a genuine native born to your mother and Emperor Qing. You were not awakened by being frozen, but you have the memories of your past life. So this can only be done by digitizing the memories of your past life and then transmitting them to you as an infant. As for why you have to do this, I think your body must have been very bad before, and there was no need to freeze it." Li An explained patiently.

"What about you? Are you also someone who has awakened from the ice, like my mother?" Fan Xian asked curiously.

"No, I'm different from you all..." Li An replied mysteriously.

Fan Xian lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Tonight, since he started talking to Li An, he had been bombarded with shocking news one after another, which made him unable to calm down for a long time. It would take a long time to digest this information.

Li An smiled slightly. It seemed that this information was still a little too much for Fan Xian to bear. If he were to tell him the higher-level information and the "ultimate" secret, he would probably collapse directly, right?

Fan Xian suddenly had an idea, as if he had found a flaw in Li An's words. He was eager to prove that what Li An said was false, so he said, "What about the true qi? You said this is the Earth, so how can the true qi be explained?"

"The generation and use of Qi is based on two points." Li An made a "V" sign and explained: "First, as I said just now, the world has experienced a nuclear war and now the planet is full of seriously excessive nuclear radiation. Second, the people in this world were created later, and their body structure is different from that of the previous civilization, so they can adapt to this nuclear radiation environment. And Qi, to put it bluntly, is actually just nuclear radiation energy."

"So that's how it is. Everything can be explained now." Fan Xian murmured.

"After understanding this, I will answer the question you asked at the beginning." Li An continued: "What kind of existence is Wuzhu?"

Fan Xian stopped thinking and stared at Li An infatuatedly, waiting for his answer.

Li An did not explain directly but asked: "What kind of person do you think can live so long, never aging, and never changing his appearance? He has no inner strength but his martial arts are as strong as a grandmaster? Although he is blind, he can see everything, has no emotions, no desires! He doesn't know what to do, where he came from, and even more so, where he should go? I guess you should have the answer in your heart."

Fan Xian replied blankly: "It's... a robot."

Chapter 10: Sky-high Price of Training!

Li An did not respond to Fan Xian's answer in the affirmative or negative way, but just fell into silence. In Fan Xian's view, this silence was equivalent to acquiescence.

He smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "It's incredible. There is nuclear radiation everywhere, but we are all fine. Humans, animals and plants are not harmed. Instead, these nuclear radiations have become substances that nourish us. You are right. This is the only way to explain Uncle Wuzhu's unusual origins."

Finally, Fan Xian's tone became even more resolute: "No matter what, Uncle Wu Zhu is my relative, not a robot. I will find out what Uncle Wu Zhu wants to do and let him live for himself!"

Fan Xian turned around and thanked Li An: "Thank you for telling me this today. I know that today's reward is far from enough to offset this information, so I owe you a favor."

"It's okay. I hope this information is helpful to you and won't have any negative impact on you," said Li An.

Let’s stop talking about this topic for now.

Fan Xian, who had learned part of the world's inside story in advance, did not intend to change anything, just like an ordinary person who knew the secrets of the universe in advance but still could not make any changes. If it were in the previous life, maybe someone would say something to change the world, but here no one could understand Fan Xian's words and would only think that he was mentally ill.

Apart from the fact that some additional changes might occur after informing Fan Xian in advance that he is the son of Emperor Qing, everything else is beyond Li Ang's control.

Li An reminded, "By the way, you will be entering Beijing soon. I want to remind you a few words as a friendly reminder. You will meet a lot of people. You can trust your first impression and give them some trust. But in the end, don't completely trust anyone except your Uncle Wu Zhu. Of course, that includes me."

"I will. I can feel that you must have many secrets that you haven't told me, but I believe you are well-intentioned and have your own considerations. In any case, you have told me enough today, and I still have to thank you. Let me check the rest myself!" Fan Xian said.

Li An nodded. Fan Xian might still be naive, but he was not stupid. Having said what he needed to say and taken what he needed to take, Li An prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Today I learned that there are people like me in this world, and I feel very happy." Fan Xian said.

Li An responded, "Me too. Remember to let me know when you go to the capital, and I will go with you. I will live in the suburbs outside the city for a while, and you can send someone to inquire about my residence and find me there."

Watching Li An's departing back, Fan Xian also stood up and said to Wu Zhu, "Uncle, I'm right, right? Li An knows a lot of things."

Wu Zhu said coldly: "Do you want me to make him tell everything? I can feel that he has no martial arts skills."

"No, uncle, he is different from others." Fan Xian shook his head.

Wu Zhu nodded, and the night returned to tranquility again.

……

When Li An returned to the inn, it was already late at night. The alcohol was surging in his body, making his steps a little unsteady. Although the alcohol content of this wine was not high, Li An's body was obviously not very resistant to alcohol, making him feel a little drunk.

After a simple wash, Li An went to bed to rest. The quality of sleep of young people is always enviable. He fell asleep and soon fell asleep. His light snoring echoed in the quiet night.

The next day, the sun shone through the window onto Li An's face, waking him up from his sleep. It was already noon, and he called the waiter to bring some hot water to wash away the hangover discomfort. Then, he went downstairs to enjoy a simple lunch.

After finishing his meal, Li An began to pack his luggage. He greeted the counter and paid the accommodation fee. He had previously deposited a lot of silver with the boss, and now that he had decided not to continue living there, he naturally had to take it back. After all, even the smallest mosquito is still meat.

After asking around in the city, Li An found a real estate "agent". He rented a farmhouse in a secluded place in the suburbs. After paying a year's rent, he asked the owner to deliver vegetables and meat on time every day, and then settled down in the farmhouse.

Watching the owner and the "agent" slowly leaving, Li An took out the secret book and began to study it silently. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, stretching his shadow. Although Li An tried all day, he still couldn't find the secret book. However, he read the booklet several times, trying to understand something from it.

Ang Lee is well aware that his body structure is different from that of people in this world.

The so-called heaven and earth energy, or the true energy in the mouth of warriors, is actually the energy generated by nuclear radiation. Since coming to this world, he has also been exposed to nuclear radiation. However, he did not suffer any harm, which is probably because the system he has played a protective role. Li An recalled the time when he was unconscious when he first came to this world, and guessed that it was the system that forced him to shut down to activate the protection mechanism.

Opening the system panel, Li An saw, as expected, a new item in the skill column: Domineering Qi LV0: 0/10.

At the same time, there was an additional attribute item [Realm: Ordinary People]. He understood that he could not generate true qi without the imprint left by the previous era. Fortunately, he had a system that could increase the level of domineering true qi by consuming wealth points.

[Ding! Consume ten ounces of silver to increase the level of Domineering Qi from LV0 to LV1! ]

It's really expensive! One tael of silver plus a little skill experience, and this is just the most basic level.

Now the domineering true qi has become LV1:0/50. And the martial arts realm has become the first-class realm of warriors.

Looking at the wealth value of only 8223 taels, Li An was in a state of hesitation. Now that he had been transformed and could cultivate his true qi, should he work hard on cultivating it first? After all, he was less than taels of silver away from getting another chance to win the lottery! Now Li An really felt that this chance to win the lottery was very rare. He still had a year left, and he would be in Danzhou. There were not many places to make money, and if he spent the money, he would have nowhere to earn it.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and decided to improve his realm. Otherwise, he would have a hard time going to Beijing with Fan Xian in a year, without the ability to protect himself.

[Ding! Consume fifty taels of silver to increase the level of Domineering Qi from LV1 to LV2! ]

Domineering Qi LV2: 0/100. Warrior of the second rank!

[Ding! Consume 2 taels of silver to increase the level of Domineering Qi from LV3 to LV! ]

Tyrannical Qi LV3:0/500. Warrior of the third rank!

[Ding! Consume 3 taels of silver to increase the level of Tyrannical Qi from LV4 to LV! ]

Tyrannical Qi LV4: 0/1000. Warrior of the fourth rank!

[Ding! Consume 4 taels of silver to increase the level of Domineering Qi from LV5 to LV! ]

Tyrannical Qi LV5:0/5000. Fifth-grade warrior!

[Ding! Consume 5 taels of silver to increase Tyrannical Qi from LV6 to LV! ]

Tyrannical Qi LV6:0/10000. Warrior rank six!

When Li An reached the sixth rank of warrior, he stopped. It was not because he did not want to continue to improve, but because he no longer had enough wealth to support his improvement. Looking at the remaining 1573 taels of wealth, Li An fell into deep contemplation.

"Isn't this a rip-off?" Li An smiled bitterly. Now, to advance to the seventh level of warriors, 10,000 taels of silver are needed. At this rate of increase, the eighth level will require 50,000 taels of silver, and the ninth level will require 100,000 taels of silver! Not to mention the unattainable Grandmaster level. The system prompts that the difficulty of breaking through the limits of mortals is ten times higher than before, which means that a million taels of silver are needed!

Li An shook his head, trying to sober up. What is the concept of one million taels of silver? According to the ancient measurement unit, 16 taels equals one jin, so one million taels of silver is 31250 kilograms, which is a little more than tons! Not to mention tons of silver, even tons is enough to kill people! Moreover, this can be converted into taels of gold, which is equivalent to more than billion according to the current market value!

"More than 30 small goals, all relying on one mouth?" Li An thought desperately. He understood that even if he had more than 3 billion, it did not mean that he could enjoy life without worries. The road of practicing martial arts is full of challenges and hardships, and requires great efforts and sacrifices.

Li An took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner fluctuations. He knew that he needed to find a new way to obtain wealth to support his practice.

Chapter 11: One year, the warrior reaches the seventh level.

Although Li An is now a sixth-rank warrior, in fact, if he really encounters an opponent of the same level, he may be in trouble and his end will definitely be miserable. Although his true qi is domineering and fiery, he lacks the coordination of martial arts and body movements, which prevents him from exerting his maximum potential in battle. Despite this, Li An is still relatively satisfied with his current progress. In such a short period of time, it is a huge leap to go from a person without true qi to a sixth-rank warrior. He has gone from a salted fish to a much stronger miscellaneous soldier! What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

Li An thought of Fan Xian. Didn't he see that Fan Xian was only 15 years old and was already at the lower eighth level? Although Fan Xian had reached such a level at such a young age, he still experienced several life-and-death crises after entering the capital. This made Li An wonder, did Fan Xian spend as much money as Li An in the process of cultivating to the eighth level?

Li An sighed. He understood that practicing martial arts was not just a matter of effort and time. Money was also an important factor. In this world, he could use money to buy the time and resources needed for practice, thereby accelerating his growth.

After opening the system panel, Li An looked at his wealth balance and the data of various skills, and his heart was full of expectations and challenges. He knew that he still had a long way to go, but he also believed that as long as he continued to work hard and struggle, he would be able to become a master one day and no longer have to worry about his own safety.

[Host: Li An]

【Age: 22】

[Attributes: Strength 36, Speed ​​39, Intelligence 11, Stamina 40]

[Skill: Domineering Qi LV6]

[Realm: Warrior Level 6]

[Items: Some sundries]

【Wealth: 1573 taels of silver】

Looking at this series of purely physical attributes that do not rely on true qi, Li An deeply felt that if he were on Earth, he would definitely be a little superman. But here, the enhancement of attributes is a challenging road. Every point of improvement represents a huge breakthrough, far from being as easy as one plus one equals two. Especially intelligence, a difficult attribute to quantify, it covers many aspects such as thinking speed, memory and reaction, involving complex interactions between the eyes and the brain.

In order to make his body better adapt to his current level of cultivation, Li Ang decided to train more diligently.

After all, the significant improvement in his physical attributes meant that he might hit the ceiling with his head or crush the teacup in his hand if he wasn't careful.

Using some training methods from his previous life, he began to practice diligently in the yard. Considering that he might need to learn Qinggong, swordsmanship and martial arts in the future, and the cost would be inestimable, Li An decided to work harder to make money. He took a deep breath, temporarily put those troubles behind him, and devoted himself to practice. Sweat soon soaked his clothes.

At the same time, in a grocery store in the city, Fan Xian and Wu Zhu were having a conversation.

"Why do we have to go to Kyoto?" Wu Zhu asked, which was rare.

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile: "I want to understand this world and understand my mother."

Wu Zhu's voice was still low as he reminded, "But the outside world is very dangerous."

Fan Xian shrugged his shoulders, his expression relaxed: "Isn't it that you are still here? Uncle, won't you come with me?"

Wu Zhu's words revealed a deep worry: "I told you, I forgot a lot of things. I can't protect you completely."

Fan Xian smiled slightly, thinking that in this strange world, it was fortunate that Uncle Wu Zhu was the first to appear by his side. This was indeed a great comfort. He raised his head, looked at Uncle Wu Zhu with a firm expression, and said, "I will take good care of myself."

Hearing this, Wu Zhu finally "looked" over, "stared" at Fan Xian's eyes with a very serious look, and said slowly: "If anything happens to you, I will kill them all."

······

A year has passed by like a white horse, and the spring of the fourth year of Qingli has quietly arrived. Time is like quicksand in your hand. The more you want to hold it tightly, the faster it slips through your fingers. When the sand runs out, you can pick it up again; flowers wither, but they will bloom again next year; however, once a person's youth disappears, it will never come back.

Li An knew that time was precious, so he devoted himself to hard training every day, making every minute count. In the process, he also took on some odd jobs and gradually accumulated a certain reputation. Today, people in several neighboring cities are saying that Danzhou has produced a knowledgeable and talented fortune teller.

In his spare time, Li An did not forget to improve his shooting skills. He found a place where few people went and practiced quietly. After that, he continued to use wealth points to increase his shooting skills, and his shooting skills have been improved to level 3. Now, he can draw his gun and shoot in an instant, accurately hitting a moving target within 30 meters, but the farther the distance, the hit rate will slowly decrease. However, the number of bullets is limited, and he only has 80 rounds left, so he must use them carefully.

On this day, Li An came to a huge rock on the side of the mountain and closed his eyes to meditate. His body and mind gradually entered a mysterious state. As a once staunch materialist, he could now feel that this domineering true energy was closely connected to him, as if he was in a dreamlike world.

As the exercises were performed, the true Qi in Li Ang's Dantian began to flow slowly.

Under the guidance of the spiritual consciousness, the true qi spread throughout the body along the meridians in the chest and abdomen. Part of the true qi entered the dantian, and then returned and came out, completing the circulation of the whole body. Part of the true qi disappeared into various parts of the body, strengthening the body.

After experiencing this wonderful feeling for a moment, Li An reluctantly left the meditative state. He put away his skills and flew down.

After checking his status, Li An found that the experience value of Tyrannical Qi had reached 7369/10000. He did not hesitate and directly used the wealth value to add points. The wealth value accumulated over the past year was instantly reduced a lot, leaving only 328 taels of silver.

[Ding! Consume 2631 taels of silver to raise Tyrannical Qi from LV6 to LV7! ]

Domineering Qi LV7: 0/50000. Warrior th rank!

It has been almost a year and two months since he came to this world, and Li An has already reached the realm of the seventh rank of warrior. This speed of practice has surpassed the efforts of many people in half a lifetime, allowing him to completely catch up with the pace of the second echelon and gradually move closer to the first echelon.

Of course, compared with geniuses like Fan Xian and Haitang Duoduo, he still has some shortcomings. Fan Xian has the advantage of being a person with a natural vein, while Haitang Duoduo is a top figure known as the Saint of Northern Qi. Their strength and talent are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The current Ang Lee has changed dramatically compared to before.

Due to the improvement of his cultivation, his hair grew from a medium length to almost waist-length in a year, black and shiny, with excellent hair quality. His skin became fair, delicate and elastic. His body was no longer thin, but strong and powerful, and with the fitting clothes, he looked very tall. His height also increased significantly, reaching about 1.85 meters. In the ancient feudal dynasty, he was a tall and outstanding person.

"It's time to set off." Li An looked at the sky and said to himself. He knew that a new journey was about to begin.

Chapter 12: Fujiko Kyo and the Red-Armored Knight

In Danzhou City, Fujiko Kyo came to a restaurant and stayed there.

He was sweating profusely, but he was still asking about the young master of the Fan family among the crowd, because he would be meeting this young master Fan soon.

Listening to the drinker's evaluation of Fan Xian, he shook his head, dispelled these distracting thoughts, and remembered the mission of this trip.

According to the order of the Earl, the red-armored knight came to take this young master without status back to the capital. However, he had received a secret order from the Overwatch Council to take the young master's life. He decided to give priority to the secret order of the Overwatch Council. After all, he was a member of the Overwatch Council and the mission must be completed. After thinking about it, he rushed to the Earl Sinan's Mansion in a corner of Danzhou Port.

At this time, Fan Xian, who was sixteen years old, sat silently in front of the gate of Fan Mansion, looking at the raindrops falling from the sky with deep eyes, as if he was looking for an answer or expecting something.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds came from the end of the street, breaking the tranquility in the rain. Judging from the sound, this was obviously not a small group of people. Fan Xian looked up and saw a patch of red floating on the road in the distance, like red waves surging in the rain.

"Red-armored Knight! Master Fan, the Red-armored Knight you mentioned is here." A passerby ran in the rain, hiding from the rain while shouting to Fan Xian.

"Here they come!" Fan Xian took a deep breath, feeling mixed emotions. He had not expected Li An's calculations to be so accurate. The so-called red-armored knights were the personal troops of Emperor Qing. However, part of this personal army had been lent by Emperor Qing to the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Fan Xian's nominal father - Si Nan Bo Fan Jian.

The atmosphere in the main hall of the Fan Mansion was solemn.

Fan Xian knelt on the ground, facing the old lady who was sitting right above him, with a worried look on her face. The scissors in the old lady's hand slid silently on the red paper, as if cutting off endless worries.

The scene at the gate of Fan's house added to the tense atmosphere. Many horses stopped at the gate, each of which was covered with red armor, and a group of soldiers in red armor stood beside them. They stood firm in the rain, as if they were an unshakable red army.
