Early that morning, Wang Ping and Chi Feng arrived at the Training Field together.
Wang Ping's cultivation gave Chi Hu a fierce shock as well.
Just as in the simulation, the entire Chi Village was thrown into an uproar. The Village Chief was both astonished and delighted, praising him again and again.
Next, just as things had developed in the simulation, Wang Ping followed the Village Chief and the others out to hunt demonic beasts.
The hunt for the Gale Leopard and the gathering of the Essence Nurturing Grass went smoothly, without any mishaps.
The group returned triumphantly to the village.
Just as had happened many times in the simulations, the Village Chief handed an Essence Nurturing Grass to Wang Ping and said, "Wang Ping, take this Essence Nurturing Grass."
"Village Chief, you should plant the two Essence Nurturing Grasses in the village first. I'm quite gifted in alchemy. Perhaps in the future, I can use these two Essence Nurturing Grasses to refine medicine."
Wang Ping shook his head.
"You know how to refine pills?"
The Village Chief was greatly surprised by those words.
"Not yet, but I will soon." Wang Ping chuckled, brimming with confidence. "I wonder whether the village has any Pill Formulas."
"We do, but are you sure you want to refine pills? That takes a great deal of time and effort. It may delay your cultivation." The Village Chief frowned and spoke with concern.
"Village Chief, please believe me." Wang Ping chuckled. "Besides, my constitution is very special. At present, I don't need to cultivate seriously. I only need to consume Spirit Stones to raise my cultivation."
"That's true." Hearing this, the Village Chief nodded in agreement.
There were countless Special Constitutions in the world, and he knew of ones similar to Wang Ping's that could raise cultivation by consuming Spirit Stones.
However, the Special Constitutions he knew of were nowhere near as domineering as Wang Ping's, capable of raising cultivation so rapidly.
After all, even if one could consume Spirit Stones to improve one's cultivation, it should still happen gradually.
For someone like Wang Ping to soar directly from the Skin Training Realm Peak to the Acquired Realm Tenth Level Peak in such a short time was simply unheard of.
"I'll give you the Pill Formula later. Whatever herbs you need, I'll have Huzi and the others get them for you." The Village Chief nodded and spoke.
"By the way, you must have used up your Spirit Stones already. I still have three hundred Spirit Stones left. Take them and use them as you please."
After a pause, the Village Chief spoke again.
"Thank you, Village Chief." Wang Ping did not refuse and thanked him with a smile.
The Village Chief truly treated him too well. This only made Wang Ping even more determined to save the people of Chi Village.
"No need to thank me. The stronger you become, the safer we will be." The Village Chief sighed. "Unfortunately, this is all the Spirit Stones we have. There are certain hidden circumstances concerning Chi Village, and we don't dare exchange for too many Spirit Stones outside. If we draw attention, it will be extremely dangerous."
"Village Chief, why has Chi Village secluded itself within Blackwind Forest? Do you have enemies?"
Wang Ping asked, pretending to be puzzled.
"We do have enemies." The Village Chief hesitated, as if he wanted to speak but stopped himself.
"I swear to Heaven that if I grow strong, I will do everything in my power to protect Chi Village. Could you tell me some of the hidden details, Village Chief?" Wang Ping said with utter seriousness.
Seeing Wang Ping suddenly swear an oath, the Village Chief was stunned.
Then, he smiled with relief.
Heavenly Dao truly existed in this world.
If martial artists swore to Heaven and broke their vows, the consequences would be severe. Though not everyone would be struck by lightning, it was easy for inner demons to breed, leading to cultivation deviation and death.
Wang Ping's oath to Heaven and these words brought comfort to the Village Chief's heart. He felt that he had indeed not misjudged Wang Ping.
"Our Chi Family was once one of the two great families of White Moon City, with many Innate Realm experts in the clan. However, the Old Ancestor of the Li Family—the other great family of White Moon City and our enemy—suddenly broke through to the Spirit Origin Realm. As a result, our branch of the Chi Family suffered annihilation."
"In the end, to evade the Li Family's pursuit, I could only bring the remaining clansmen and flee deep into Blackwind Forest. Relying on certain inherited secret arts, demonic beasts do not approach the surrounding area. At the same time, this place lies relatively deep within Blackwind Forest, where ordinary Innate Realm martial artists lack the ability to enter. Thus, we are considered safe here."
The Village Chief spoke, filled with hatred.
"Village Chief, is there no deeper reason?" Wang Ping could not help asking.
If that was all, he had already learned it in the simulations.
He wanted to know why the Sword Spirit Sect also wanted to act against the people of Chi Village.
"A deeper reason?" The Village Chief frowned. "Didn't the Li Family destroy our Chi Family because we were enemies? Only by destroying us could they unify White Moon City, seize all its businesses, and become the sole dominant power."
"Alright." Wang Ping sighed, knowing it was inappropriate to ask further.
If he asked why Chi Clan Members could not break through to the Spirit Origin Realm, or why the Sword Spirit Sect Leader also harbored hostility toward Chi Clan Members, the Village Chief would certainly grow suspicious.
At that point, something very bad might happen.
Therefore, he could only stop while he was ahead.
It seemed that if he wanted to uncover the entire chain of cause and effect, he could only explore it himself in the simulations.
Next, after the Village Chief took out the Pill Formula, he handed it to Wang Ping.
Besides that, he gave all three hundred remaining Spirit Stones to Wang Ping.
After thanking him once more, Wang Ping returned to his room, intending to begin a new simulation.
However, at that very moment, a new group message popped up, causing Wang Ping to pause in surprise.
"Ding! Group member Li Ping (73) has died. Death Replay has been recorded. All group members are advised to take this as a warning."
"What's going on? Why did a group member named Li Ping (73) suddenly appear? Zhang Jun was clearly the latest person to join, and his group number is 70."
Wang Ping was somewhat confused and hurriedly opened the Chat Group.
Then, he discovered that three more newcomers had joined the group today.
They were: female group member Chen Yao (71).
Male group member Zhang Tao (72).
Male group member Li Ping (73).
The reason there had been no join notifications was most likely because the Chat Group had determined that he was in a dangerous environment and had selectively hidden the group announcements.
It had to be said, that was quite considerate.
Without this function, if a group announcement suddenly popped up while he was fighting someone to the death, it might very well get him killed.
Or if a message popped up while he was cultivating, it might cause him to suffer cultivation deviation.
"These three newcomers were all rather fortunate at the beginning."
After reading the chat records, Wang Ping's expression turned strange.
The Transmigrator Chat Group's first-encounter kill was one of the greatest factors behind its terrifying death rate.
Yet all three newcomers had luckily avoided the first-encounter kill, and the locations where they had transmigrated were all quite good.
The place Chen Yao had transmigrated to seemed to be a modern society like Wu Jun's.
However, her Golden Finger was much better than Wu Jun's. It was the Stat Point System.
Although it came with many restrictions, it could still be considered an overpowered system.
Of course, transmigrating into a modern society still felt like it somewhat limited the potential of that Golden Finger.
The Chat Group will definitely come into play, but the plot has to unfold step by step. Don't be impatient, everyone.
