Chapter 3, Shangqing Palace: More Uses of Sword Drawing Value
"No, absolutely not!"
"Your aptitude for immortality is below average, so logically your aptitude for martial arts should be even worse. But why don't I feel your qi and blood flowing out normally?"
"Unless you..."
Master Liu looked at Chen Ren's face with surprise and doubt, feeling pressure for the first time.
"Young man, wait a moment, I'll go find my master to take a look."
As he spoke, he flipped himself up, flew more than ten meters in one step, and disappeared from everyone's sight in two or three steps.
"Wow……"
The crowd erupted in excitement. Is this what cultivators are like?
A few minutes later, Master Liu returned, followed by a young woman, about thirty years old, who was unusually voluptuous.
To be able to be Master Liu's master, one must be older than Master Liu; there's only one possibility for someone so young.
This is an incredible big shot!
The woman had jet-black hair, a curvaceous figure, and a swaying gait, but her gaze quickly locked onto Chen Ren.
"Is it him?"
"Yes, Master, please take a look. This disciple is truly unsure."
"it is good."
Zhang Yunqing reached out and placed her hand on Chen Ren's wrist, and a surge of energy flowed into it as well.
"Huh!"
She exclaimed in surprise, "There really are people like that in the world!"
Zhang Yunqing stared at Chen Ren, as if trying to see through him: "His kidney energy is completely disconnected from heaven and earth; this is a body without leakage!"
"Kidney Qi?"
Chen Ren was shocked. He hadn't even noticed how beautiful Zhang Yunqing was, and exclaimed, "Is water vapor the same as kidney energy?"
How could he know any of this? Oh no, we made a mistake!
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +15!]
He asked tremblingly, "Will...will there be any consequences?"
"The impact is significant."
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +20!]
Zhang Yunqing said with a serious expression, "You can understand it as your kidney energy not being able to connect with heaven and earth. Although it appears normal on the surface and functions normally, it will cause infertility."
"I can only find a boyfriend in this lifetime."
Chen Ren automatically ignored the last sentence and focused on the five words "it works normally".
Sword drawing value +0.
That works, that works... You scared me half to death.
Suddenly, Zhang Yunqing slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Genius!!!"
Her gaze was fixed intently on Chen Ren: "Just as the legend says, not exchanging any qi is the way to achieve innate perfection."
"A flawless physique is the most suitable for martial arts cultivation, even for the worst aptitude. Young man, although martial arts are not prevalent in my Shangqing Palace, we still offer martial arts courses. Would you like to learn them?"
"I'll teach you myself!"
With Master Liu's master, Zhang Yunqing, personally teaching him, how could Chen Ren possibly hesitate?
He immediately bowed down!
Meanwhile, outside Shangqing Palace, the expressions on the faces of the two thugs who were tailing Chen Ren became quite interesting.
"Li Sanmei, he actually cultivated immortality like this?"
Fatty Wang stared in astonishment at the current state of Shangqing Palace: "What do we do? The higher-ups ordered us to keep a close eye on it, but we can't get into Shangqing Palace."
"Damn fatso, what can we do? This is beyond our control. Let's call the boss."
A moment later, Li Sanmei put down her phone with a grim expression. "The boss wants you to go back and report. I'll keep an eye on things here for now."
"140 million! With the interest, it's already ballooned to 160 million. Even if we sold all our possessions a dozen times, it wouldn't be enough to cover it."
Fatty Wang's face was grim: "No, Third Sister, it's a long walk down the mountain from here..."
"Don't you know how to take the cable car?"
"I have no money."
"Then hurry up and go! It'll get dark soon and no one will care about you."
…………
Chen Ren followed them into Shangqing Palace. His overdue debt situation should be temporarily resolved, and he would be safe as long as he didn't leave.
No matter how bold the Wang family was, they would never dare to enter the Shangqing Palace to demand someone.
So Chen Ren stayed in the inner palace that very day.
Zhang Yunqing walked ahead and led him to pay respects to the Three Pure Ones, all the gods and patriarchs, and bestowed upon him the character "Ren" (仁) in his name, since it already contained the character "Ren" in his name, so he didn't change it.
Zhang Yunqing smiled and said, "This is fate. You were meant to come to my Shangqing Palace."
Only then did they take him to stay.
"You should rest today and take a look at these books. You haven't learned much about the Body of No Leakage."
She took out more than a dozen books and placed them heavily on the table.
It made a dull "thump" sound, and dust rose half a meter high.
Zhang Yunqing waved her hand, and a gentle breeze blew by, keeping all the dust away from her.
Chen Ren ignored the dust, gestured to measure the thickness of each book, and then looked at his own knuckles.
Just right, even the thinnest one is about the thickness of a finger joint.
"You want to watch all of them?" He seemed a little dazed.
"Hmm...not really."
Zhang Yunqing's previous sentence brought a smile to Chen Ren's face, but with her next sentence, the smile shifted to hers.
"You must remember them all."
[Ding: Sword Drawing Value +5]
Chen Ren discovered that Zhang Yunqing was a very cunning master; although she was beautiful, the more beautiful a woman is, the more ruthless she is.
When he looked at these books, his first reaction wasn't to read them, but to think of a way to use his magic to cut them thinner.
If one can even sever the five elements, then it seems not impossible for someone with only a superficial knowledge to do so.
The development of cheat codes is far from its limit; it's only the tip of the iceberg.
Chen Ren internally assessed his sword-drawing ability: [45/100]
I've already drawn my sword once, and I've already accumulated so many sword-drawing points.
In his previous life, he had searched for so long, but it was simply impossible.
But this period was the time when his sword-drawing value increased the fastest, and he gradually understood how to use it.
The increase in his sword-drawing value indicates that he had previously gone in the wrong direction.
Outside the door, Zhang Yunqing walked step by step back to her room without touching the ground.
Shortly afterward, someone knocked on her door.
"Come in."
Outside the door stood a girl who looked noticeably younger, with fair skin, a beautiful face, and flowing black hair.
"Oh, it's Rentong. What's up?"
Su Rentong nodded: "Master, I've already bought the Luo Qi Pill. I should be able to break through to the fifth level of Qi Condensation, right?"
"You bought it?" Zhang Yunqing's gaze sharpened, then she stared at her coldly.
"That's worth 150 million, only the Wang family has that kind of money. Where did you get so much money?"
Su Rentong subconsciously looked away: "Master, please don't ask anymore. I just want to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage as soon as possible, so that I can share the burden with my senior brothers and sisters."
"As you know, the situation in the ancient realm is very serious."
Zhang Yunqing remained motionless, still watching her, her expression gradually becoming serious:
"Rentong, this is Shangqing Palace. The Three Pure Ones are watching over us. I hope you will not commit any crimes or pursue quick success. Even if your talent is one in a hundred years, you will eventually suffer the consequences."
"Give the money back to them."
"Master, I didn't borrow any money. This is all the payment I received from a wealthy man for helping him with his medical treatment and health maintenance."
Su Rentong lied and kept begging her master to teach her to reach the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
"Is that really true?"
"That's really true!"
Su Rentong stared unblinkingly at his master: "I just took a little more; anyway, they're rich people with plenty of money."
This way, Zhang Yunqing was kept in the dark. She thought that Chen Ren would need some time to memorize the knowledge from the book, so she began to guide her on how to break through to the fifth level of Qi Condensation.
Little did they know, Chen Ren was already close to accumulating enough sword-drawing points...
He accidentally discovered that the Sword Drawing Points weren't just based on his own suffering; the suffering experienced by those around him, as long as it had a causal relationship with him, could also accumulate Sword Drawing Points.
For example, Ren Renren, who lives next door to him, is a great tool for farming sword-drawing points.
Ren Renren, Qi Condensation Level 4, 22 years old, short hair, dark skin, big eyes, slender figure, looks heroic and dashing, but in fact, he is simple-minded, introverted and shy.
Chen Ren pretended to shake her hand, then pretended to be accidentally pinched by her, because he was a mortal, while Ren Renren was already a cultivator.
This prompted Ren Renren to immediately give him 25 points of sword-drawing value!
She is a Qi Condensation cultivator, no longer an ordinary person. The spiritual energy stored in her body unconsciously nourishes her body and mind, and every move she makes has the strength of over 400 jin.
Moreover, the sword-drawing value generated is ten times that of an ordinary person!
Because they're so naive, they keep checking the status every now and then, probably because they still feel guilty.
Ren Renren himself said that he had been cultivating for seven years and was recruited after finishing junior high school.
Unable to purchase Qi-Boosting Pills to aid in cultivation, he could only painstakingly cultivate by absorbing Qi, slowly breaking through to the next level.
Cultivating immortality requires Luo Qi Pills and various spiritual herbs to replenish spiritual energy.
Practicing martial arts also requires a lot of herbal decoctions and liquids, which are highly nourishing to replenish qi and blood.
Chen Ren only just realized that cultivating immortality didn't mean being without desires; on the contrary, it meant needing money even more than ordinary people.
And he... also has a loan of 140 million yuan!
