Chapter 23: Qi Yuan's Eager Assistance to Demons
Chapter 23: Qi Yuan's Eager Assistance to Demons
Aunt Qin initially attempted push-ups, leaning against a ladder and lowering herself down.
As her palms touched the ground, she didn't sense anything mystical.
"Perhaps... I should just make something up?" she thought.
With this idea, Aunt Qin began doing push-ups.
It must be said that doing push-ups in a silk brocade robe was quite an unusual sight.
In less than a breath, Aunt Qin had almost completed a push-up.
Aunt Qin initially wore a helpless smile, as she didn't feel the cultivation technique or essence energy flowing during the push-up.
Without these, how could one become stronger?
But in the next instant, as she finished the push-up, a special change occurred.
Jin Li quickly asked, "How is Aunt Qin?"
At this moment, Aunt Qin was stunned.
"I... I feel like my body has become a little stronger."
"What?" The people present exclaimed in surprise.
Could doing exercises really make one stronger?
"How much stronger did you become?" Hua Xian asked anxiously.
She was afraid that Aunt Qin might consider the Empress Jin Li's face, so she gave a vague answer.
Aunt Qin then spoke seriously, "Just one push-up is equivalent to half an hour of my cultivation."
"What!" Everyone was shocked.
One push-up was equal to half an hour of cultivation.
This was too exaggerated, wasn't it?
"Doesn't that mean that without doing ten thousand push-ups, it's like cultivating for a year?" Hua Xian calculated and was stunned.
"If this is true, cultivating here for a day is equivalent to ten years of cultivation outside?"
Everyone was astonished.
Could doing push-ups improve one's cultivation?
What was the principle behind this? Where did such a thing exist?
It was simply incomprehensible!
It was as if they were saying that eating a meal, drinking water, or passing gas could lead to a breakthrough in cultivation.
The crowd was amazed, but they still didn't understand, so they all started exercising.
Thus, these thirty trusted individuals began doing exercises while leaning against ladders within the Xuan Yuan Prohibition.
They were all cultivators with formidable strength, and their push-ups were incredibly fast, almost flying through the motions.
The scene was awe-inspiring.
If the people from Qi Yuan's previous world saw this, they would surely exclaim, "Amazing!"
Of course, if they were to post videos, the comments would be like, "It's not that impressive," "I can do it too!" and "I have a friend who..."
After all, the comment section was a gathering place for all sorts of eccentric talents.
"I... I've broken through!"
"The bottleneck that held me back for three years has finally been shattered!"
"Doing push-ups is immensely beneficial for breaking through bottlenecks!"
Everyone present was astonished, rapidly doing push-ups and sharing their experiences.
In just half an hour, more than thirty people had already broken through their cultivation levels, with three consecutive breakthroughs.
Two of them broke through minor realms, while one achieved a major breakthrough.
"Go and try other exercises quickly!"
These people naturally didn't limit themselves to push-ups but attempted various other exercises.
They tried pull-ups, leaning against the ladder, which was a bit challenging but still manageable.
Doing pull-ups also enhanced their strength and cultivation, with different focuses on improvement.
Some chose pull-ups, while others continued with push-ups.
"But how do we do sit-ups while leaning against the ladder?"
"We don't necessarily have to lean against it; we can use our feet too!"
"Stand the ladder upright and hook it with your feet to do sit-ups!"
Everyone cautiously tried this method.
To their surprise, it worked, and they could quickly increase their cultivation.
Some placed the ladder horizontally in the air and hooked their feet to do sit-ups.
After all, they were cultivators, and even the most challenging dance moves were effortlessly executed by them.
On the field, everyone continued exercising—push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups... The atmosphere was intense.
Jin Li turned to Aunt Qin, her curiosity piqued. "Aunt Qin, what is it?"
Aunt Qin's face glowed with vitality, her cultivation depth evident.
Continuing her exercises, she exclaimed, "I feel so... extraordinary! Even the Supreme Emperor may not have such a method. His Majesty's friend is truly a reclusive master."
As thoughts of Qi Yuan crossed her mind, Jin Li's expression grew complex, a sense of deep-seated inferiority washing over her.
But her current predicament left no room for distraction.
"Aunt Qin, how long will it take for you to reach the Imperial Rank here?" Jin Li asked.
Only by attaining the Imperial Rank could they ensure victory in the upcoming battle.
"Just two days, and I'll step into the Imperial Rank!" Aunt Qin declared confidently.
She was already in the late stages of the King Rank.
In Xuan Yuan Prohibition, cultivation advancement was as easy as drinking water.
Breaking through to the Imperial Rank was a given!
The thought of the Imperial Rank filled her with excitement.
Hearing this, Jin Li's heart was finally at ease.
She looked at the crowd and softly spoke, "There's something I forgot to tell you. These exercises in Xuan Yuan Prohibition have a certain side effect."
At this, the initial joy in the crowd's hearts dissipated.
Of course, that made sense.
If there were no side effects, such rapid cultivation progress would be illogical.
"We are willing to die for His Majesty!" They paused their exercises and shouted in unison, fearless in the face of death.
In their eyes, such a heaven-defying cultivation method must have a terrifying side effect.
Aunt Qin's voice was grave, "To die for His Majesty is a worthy death!"
Jin Li was touched but also found it amusing, "The side effect isn't that scary, it won't kill anyone."
The crowd's worries dissipated.
The commander of the Imperial Guard, Hua Xian, gazed at Jin Li and slowly asked, "May I ask what the side effect is?"
"Becoming stronger... might cause hair loss."
"Hair loss?"
"It's just hair loss?"
"That's it?"
The crowd was astonished.
Astonished that... it was just hair loss? Such a minor side effect for such significant progress.
People in Nanqian Kingdom would even undergo castration and practice demonic arts for power.
Compared to that, losing hair was nothing.
A woman who had recently broken through a major cultivation boundary smiled, "When I broke through, I lost a dozen hairs. I didn't know the reason, but it turns out it was this."
Losing a dozen hairs was nothing; they'd gladly lose all body hair to break through a major boundary.
At that moment, a bald female guard spoke up, "I have no hair... what will I lose?"
The crowd exchanged glances, unsure how to respond.
...
Time flew by.
Qi Yuan hunted down Yi Guan Demons.
After his recent efforts, he had reached level 88.
He slashed a Yi Guan Demon with his sword.
Unfortunately, these demons couldn't speak or scream.
Suddenly, Qi Yuan's expression changed drastically.
"It hurts so much!"
He cried out in pain, his face contorted, clutching his stomach, "My body... is going to be chopped up."
But as he saw the demon shatter into pieces, a proud smile appeared.
"I'm such a good person."
"Since you can't speak, I'll voice you."
"Today, I'll be a voice actor."
He drew his sword and charged at the Yi Guan Demons.
"Strong Sword Skull Split!"
"No!"
"Xiao Xiang Sword Shower!"
"Ouch!"
"Divine Dragon Spin!"
"Ah!"
