Chapter 282: The Super Invincible Explosive Skill
Chapter 282: The Super Invincible Explosive Skill
At this moment, outside the residential district.
Wang Xu was driving with Li Yan sitting in the passenger seat, both of them chatting and laughing.
Cui Fan and the other two lived in another direction, while Li Yan and Wang Xu lived in the same area, so Wang Xu took a slight detour to spend some time with Li Yan.
Li Yan, sitting in the car, had a peculiar light in her eyes as she spoke, "You've only graduated for a year, and you already bought a car? Is the Maritime Bureau that lucrative?"
Wang Xu smiled and said, "It's not that much, just average. I worked hard for a year and with my parents' support, I was able to buy this car."
"I heard the Maritime Bureau is quite busy. How did you find the time to come back to Tianyue?" Li Yan casually asked.
Wang Xu's expression turned serious, "Some illegal smugglers brought a batch of sea monsters to Tianyue City, and I'm responsible for the handover."
"The legendary sea monsters?" Li Yan was astonished, covering her mouth. "What do they look like? Are they the same as the ones on TV?"
"More or less, they're ugly, but they're tender and have some aphrodisiac properties. Many wealthy people desire to eat them." Wang Xu explained.
"But the meat of the sea monsters is poisonous. Eating too much can cause physical mutations, so... it's best to avoid consuming them." As he spoke of the sea monsters, Wang Xu's expression grew heavy, and he shuddered at the thought of something.
"I heard that sea monsters possess some mysterious abilities, like the legendary immortals, and have supernatural powers?" Li Yan was intrigued and asked eagerly.
Wang Xu shook his head, "What era are we in? Still believing in superstitions? There are no immortals in this world; science is the way! Moreover, even if the immortals recorded in ancient texts were to reincarnate, they would likely be no match for our modern weapons!"
Mentioning modern weapons, Wang Xu's eyes gleamed with confidence.
Indeed, the immortals and martial artists recorded in the myths of the Qin Yuan Kingdom were powerful, capable of flying and teleporting, and could lift thousand-jin tripods with ease! But could this strength compare to the power of a tractor?
Just like the exaggerated martial arts passed down through the ages, modern scientific analysis and research have revealed its limitations. It is merely a way to unlock the potential of one's physique and bloodline.
Even the champion of a martial arts tournament would be severely weakened by a single gunshot, let alone the more powerful modern weapons.
Studying martial arts is less fruitful than researching genes.
As for the myths, they are just legends.
If the legendary divine beings capable of flying and teleporting were to encounter the Space Eye, would they survive?
The Space Eye is the most powerful weapon in the Qin Yuan Kingdom. Even a warship from Canzan Xing would crumble under its attack.
It is beyond human capability to withstand its power.
"Although sea monsters are not worth mentioning, it's best for ordinary people like us to avoid contact.
Those wealthy individuals can afford to deal with the consequences, but for us commoners... if we encounter them, we can only wait for death." Wang Xu spoke with a solemn expression.
"That's quite exaggerated, isn't it?"
"Yes, even more exaggerated than the old man in the mountains!" Wang Xu chuckled.
...
At this moment, Qi Yuan finished communicating with Cui Fan and began to close his eyes to rest.
"I suppose those Reincarnators have already begun their extraordinary journeys?"
Qi Yuan didn't feel much about the concept of reincarnation.
After all, even with the knowledge of the future, it would only bring some extra wealth or perhaps a path to power.
Qi Yuan wasn't interested in those things.
If he needed money, there were high-interest loans, and if not, there were always the elderly and their generous offers of financial support.
He was sure they would be more than willing to lend him money.
He didn't bother using his knowledge to start a company or invest in a politician.
Instead, he focused on recovering his health and practicing his martial arts.
Lying on the bed, he began to create a simplified version of the Qi Yuan Scripture.
However, his current body couldn't handle excessive mental strain, and he would quickly feel drowsy.
The creation of the simplified Qi Yuan Scripture was a slow and arduous process, and he had to take frequent breaks.
"This body is not fit for humans. I admire my willpower from Bluestar." Qi Yuan thought to himself.
When he was on Bluestar, his physical condition was not as good as it was now.
Nevertheless, since this cultivation technique was a simplified version adapted from the Qi Yuan Scripture, it was still a success.
After about five hours, he had created a simplified version of the Qi Yuan Scripture that could cultivate up to the seventh level of Qi Condensation.
"I've even created an extra useless cultivation technique."
During the adaptation process, he had inadvertently created another cultivation technique that could cultivate up to the seventh level of Qi Condensation.
This technique, though inferior to the simplified Qi Yuan Scripture, was still created by Qi Yuan himself.
In the Canglan Realm, even a million spirit stones wouldn't be enough to purchase it.
"Now that I need money... should I sell this cultivation technique?"
The thought brightened Qi Yuan's eyes.
"But before I sell it, I need to give this technique a powerful name.
As the saying goes, 'Clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse.' If I want to sell it for a high price, it needs a grand and imposing name."
"How about 'The Super Invincible Explosive Skill'?"
Qi Yuan was quite pleased with the name he had chosen.
Such a powerful name, straightforward yet imposing, was worth at least 90 million, right?
After all, each character in the name was worth a million.
With this in mind, Qi Yuan registered an account on the hottest social media platform in Gongxing.
[Young man, do you want to cultivate immortality?
Do you want to change your destiny?
For just 9,999,000, you can obtain 'The Super Invincible Explosive Skill'!]
He casually uploaded a few photos of the starry sky and added some text, setting it to a dramatic background music.
Of course, to sell the technique, he also uploaded a mere one percent of its content.
"Appreciate with 10,000 Qin Yuan coins, and you can private message me."
"Appreciate with 100,000 Qin Yuan coins, and you can add my contact."
Qi Yuan commented these two sentences under his own video.
After all, without setting some threshold, what if some people start harassing him? He didn't want to bother with screening, and if he could sell it, great, if not, then so be it.
"But..."
After some thought, Qi Yuan still invested 100 yuan to buy an ad for his video, increasing its exposure and views.
Once everything was done, Ling Yi also returned as night fell.
Carrying several large bags, he placed them in front of Qi Yuan.
Worry filled its eyes, "Master, we have limited funds in our account, less than 2,000 yuan remaining."
As it spoke, it also printed out the shopping receipt and handed it to Qi Yuan.
"Hmm, it's fine. Help me grind these materials..." Qi Yuan began instructing Ling Yi.
Different materials required different handling methods, but most needed to be ground.
Currently, his physical strength was weak, and his kidneys were also deficient, so he had to rely on this not-so-smart intelligent robot.
"As you command." Ling Yi received the order and headed to the kitchen with the bags.
About half an hour later, Ling Yi returned with the processed materials.
The room was filled with the unique scent of medicinal herbs.
Qi Yuan waved his hand, and Ling Yi obediently left.
Alone in the room, Qi Yuan began to mix the various liquids.
"Ying Mountain Blood Nature Yin, Zi Mountain Grass Nature Yang, Yin and Yang in harmony..."
Qi Yuan drank the concoction, and instantly, a spicy yet cool sensation with a unique fragrance overwhelmed his taste buds, like a combination of bitter gourd and Chinese celery.
The simplified version of the Qi Yuan Scripture also began to activate.
Qi Yuan's body was extremely weak, and without proper nourishment, he might face dire consequences if he attempted cultivation.
Hence, the need for the concoction.
Spiritual energy entered his body at that moment.
Qi Yuan closed his eyes tightly as the technique continued to circulate.
After an unknown duration, within his tightly shut eyes, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a faint spiritual light.
He abruptly grabbed at it.
The spiritual light was devoured by him, and his body slowly began to transform.
The next morning, Qi Yuan opened his eyes.
"Second layer of Qi cultivation..."
Qi Yuan glanced at himself, his skin now even more translucent and fair.
A strand of spiritual energy had also entered his body.
Of course, compared to his original body, it was insignificant, but on Gongxing, it could be considered a slight self-defense capability.
"However... I still feel physically weak."
The curse within his body persisted and continued to severely affect his physical condition.
But with his improved cultivation, he had gained a little more time to live.
"Qingling Technique!"
Qi Yuan immediately cast a spell on himself.
His current body was too heavy, and he would become breathless after walking for a while, so he had to rely on spells to alleviate this condition.
After using Qingling Technique, Qi Yuan felt as light as a swallow, as if he had just untied a heavy weight from his legs.
He headed to the bathroom, washed up, and then made his way to the living room.
"Ling Yi, how's the research on martial arts coming along? My body has recovered, and I want to practice martial arts to strengthen my body."
Qi Yuan chose a more emotionally intelligent way of expressing himself.
He wasn't learning martial arts to court death but to strengthen his body.
Robot Ling Yi paused for a moment before replying honestly, "To enter the world of martial arts, there are generally three paths.
First, you can join a martial arts studio; second, you can seek a renowned martial arts master as your teacher; third, you can stumble upon a secret martial arts manual."
"Are there any martial arts studios in Tiayue City that can help me enter the world of martial arts?" Qi Yuan asked.
He directly chose the first option.
The second option would make him the successor to someone else's legacy, which could be quite troublesome, and he might even have to take care of the master in their old age.
As for the third option, that was like a TV drama.
So, the first option was still the best choice.
In a 1619 book, there is a version without errors!
"There are 28 martial arts studios in Tiayue City that align with your goals.
The closest one is called Mingwu Martial Arts Studio, and the annual tuition for regular students is 7,800 yuan.
To learn authentic martial arts, the enrollment fee is 120,000 yuan per year."
"That's so expensive?" Qi Yuan was taken aback.
He didn't have that much money at the moment.
It seemed he needed to make some money.
For him, there were two ways to get funds.
One was through the high-interest loan from Cui Fan, and the other was through the Super Invincible Explosive Technique.
After some thought, he logged into his account to check the videos he had posted.
Since he had invested 100 yuan, there were a few comments.
"Are you crazy for money?"
"I am the mythical creator of the world, reborn and in dire need of startup funds. Give me one million, and I'll make you the Water God."
"This scammer is so unprofessional."
"Where's the scam? It's clearly a joke. Who would name a cultivation technique 'Super Invincible Explosive Technique'?"
"At least he's not scamming the poor."
Reading these comments, Qi Yuan was slightly stunned.
"Is my name not good enough?"
"He felt that the name he chose was quite good. 'The people on Gongxing are so rude, they're nothing like those on the Shenhua Forum.'
On the Shenhua Forum, whenever he posted, nine out of ten comments were compliments, full of praise.
This shows that society is harmonious, and cultivators have high moral standards.
In contrast, on Gongxing, the comment section is filled with keyboard warriors.
'As the saying goes, when you succeed, you should benefit the world; when you're poor, you should cultivate yourself. Once I achieve great success in my cultivation, I must rectify the social atmosphere and create a civilized and harmonious society.'"
Qiyuan paused for a moment, then added a comment to his own post.
"If you want it, come quickly. Once I don't need the money, I won't bother selling it anymore."
After saying this, Qiyuan logged off.
Three days passed, and the views on Qiyuan's post continued to rise, along with the number of comments.
It even reached a thousand comments, which was quite normal.
After all, he was a new user, and a real-person account, so the platform would provide some support.
Most of the comments below were playful banter.
Not a single one was interested in buying his cultivation technique.
"This generation of netizens is lacking in financial strength; they can't even afford 9999."
Qiyuan didn't bother to check further.
He decided to let things take their course; if it didn't sell, then so be it.
After all, he was about to go on a blind date with Xiao Mei.
Moreover, he needed to borrow money from a high-interest loan shark through Cui Fan's connection.
Qiyuan stretched his languid body, performed a Qingling Technique on himself, and walked out of his home.
Looking up at the sun in the sky, Qiyuan felt a sense of laziness wash over him.
He scanned his surroundings, his eyes filled with curiosity.
This world was similar to Bluestar, but it was evident that its technology was more advanced.
Space travel had already been achieved, and even tourist routes had been established between Gongxing and Canzan Xing. Every year, a wealthy person or retired high-ranking official would travel to Canzan Xing for tourism or even settle there.
2. Qiyuan left the residential area and took the subway.
3. The place he and Xiao Mei had agreed upon for their blind date was called Qin Deji.
4. Initially, he had wanted to choose a place serving Yuan County Snacks, as there was a rumor online that the more you ate during a blind date, the more likely you were to be electrified.
5. However, after some thought, he decided to go for something more Western and chose Qin Deji.
6. Qin Deji's status in Qin Yuan Nation was similar to that of Wallace in Bluestar.
7. Choosing this place was a safe bet.
8. Soon, Qiyuan arrived at Qin Deji.
9. It was not yet mealtime, and the customers inside were few and far between.
10. Occasionally, a delivery person would come to pick up some takeout.
11. Qiyuan stood in place, playing with his phone and occasionally checking the comments on his video.
12. Most of the comments were playful, with some even advertising.
13. "Are they trying to steal my business?" he thought, too lazy to pay attention to the comments.
14. "This Xiao Mei is already ten minutes late..."
15. He glanced at the time, a strange expression in his eyes.
16. Logically, Xiao Mei and Cui Fan must have some issues.
17. In this situation, how could they deliberately take time off for a blind date? Perhaps something unexpected had happened.
18. Qiyuan decided to wait a few more minutes. If she didn't show up, he would message Cui Fan to ask about the high-interest loan.
19. About five minutes passed.
20. A faint fragrance wafted over, and a tall woman in a tight-fitting outfit entered.
21. Her face was stunningly beautiful, with a hint of fox-like charm.
22. Her figure, accentuated by the tight outfit, was incredibly exaggerated.
23. She glanced at Qiyuan, a deep and profound expression in her eyes.
24. She walked straight towards Qiyuan and sat down opposite him.
25. "Hello, Qiyuan. I'm Xiao Mei, your blind date partner. I'm sorry I'm late due to traffic."
26. Qiyuan looked at the woman, his expression calm.
27. The woman before him was exceptionally beautiful and captivating, and she exuded an enigmatic aura.
28. Having experienced multiple worlds, Qiyuan could tell at a glance that this woman had taken lives before.
29. "As soon as you open your mouth, my nose grows longer. It's true what Wuji's mother said—beautiful women love to lie."
30. Qiyuan spoke casually, not bothering to argue.
31. "I'm hungry. Why don't you order something to eat?"
32. He knew that this blind date would likely end without any progress.
33. He needed to take this opportunity to eat something.
34. It wasn't unreasonable to let his blind date partner pay for the meal, considering his current financial situation.
35. "Go ahead and order. I'll have whatever." The woman named Xiao Mei looked at Qiyuan, her eyes revealing a complex expression.
36. "Since it's a blind date, let's get something nice. I don't want to be looked down upon, so let's get this 198-yuan family meal." Qiyuan said earnestly.
37. "Okay." The woman didn't react much.
38. Instead, the man next to them couldn't help but laugh. "Buddy, you're hilarious. Such a beautiful blind date partner, and you bring her to Qin Deji?"
39. Especially ordering a 198-yuan feast was too funny.
40. Qiyuan glanced at the man, then took out a certificate from his pocket.
41. "Mind your own business."
42. The man was taken aback, thinking Qiyuan was some kind of government official.
43. Even the tight-fitting woman was surprised for a moment.
44. However, when the man saw Qiyuan's certificate, a strange expression appeared on his face.
45. He didn't even finish his meal but hurriedly paid and left.
46. He must have encountered a madman!
47. Meanwhile, Qiyuan felt quite proud; this certificate was indeed useful.
48. Seeing this, the woman across from him couldn't help but smile. "Qiyuan, you're full of surprises."
PS: Apologies for the temporary update. I'll make up for the missed chapters after the New Year.
Happy New Year!
