Shi Qiu's Journey to the West

After the group dissected the Blue Eagle, they did not find a magic core. That left them furious. How could trash that had not even formed a magic core waste so much of their time?

Anger was anger, but they still packed up and continued on their way. Some valuable parts from the Blue Eagle were taken along as well. Originally, they said those would belong to Ye Qiu, but Ye Qiu had no interest in such things. Besides, he owed Little Fairy Doctor a favor from before, so he casually gave them to her.

After the battle with the Blue Eagle, Ye Qiu's status in the group rose sharply, almost to the same level as that middle-aged man. And because Ye Qiu possessed such strength at such a young age, everyone knew he would surely become someone great in the future. So along the way, they kept striking up conversation with him, one sentence here and another there.

Ye Qiu did not mind. Having people to talk to was always a good thing. It was not as if he was the quiet, taciturn sort, and it saved him from being bored on the road.

Luo Danhe, on the other hand, kept intentionally and unintentionally asking about the Huaxia Empire along the way. It seemed he was quite interested. Who told Ye Qiu to say he was from the Huaxia Empire? Although that was right, where in This World was he supposed to find a Huaxia?!

With no other choice, he could only make things up. He had to tell him about some mythological figures and stories. When the others, including Little Fairy Doctor, heard that Ye Qiu was going to talk about his homeland, they all gathered around to listen.

"This Buddha is seriously amazing. With one slap, he knocked the lawless Sun Wukong out of the sky and even turned it into Five Finger Mountain. Compared to him, the Yun Lan Sect's sect master is practically a child."

"Lord Lao is fierce too. One bracelet strike and Sun Wukong was stunned senseless. And he's even a Grade Nine Alchemist. Incredible! Our Gama Empire's Pill King Gu He is only Grade Six."

That's Right. Ye Qiu had told everyone the story of Journey to the West. Buddha was described by him as a Dou Sheng powerhouse, while Lord Lao became a Grade Nine Alchemist.

Although these figures seemed like myths to everyone, after all, the strength of the people in this story far surpassed their understanding. After all, the strongest person in the Gama Empire was only a Dou Emperor, and the highest-level alchemist was only Grade Six.

However, they did not suspect Ye Qiu of lying. This story was so smooth and coherent that it definitely could not have been thought up on the spot. They had never expected the Huaxia Empire to be so powerful. Because of that, all they felt was shock, more shock, and admiration toward Ye Qiu, even though Ye Qiu repeatedly emphasized that he was only an ordinary person from the Huaxia Empire.

"I'm not telling any more. I'm exhausted!" Ye Qiu sat in the carriage, his mouth dry and his tongue parched. He had talked for four whole hours without drinking a single mouthful of water.

"Don't, Brother Qiu. We haven't heard enough yet."

"Exactly!"

Over the course of the journey, Ye Qiu had become familiar with everyone. Perhaps because, despite his extraordinary talent, he did not put on any airs at all, and because Journey to the West was so interesting, everyone started calling him brother one after another.

Now, when they heard that he was stopping, they immediately refused to accept it. Even Little Fairy Doctor was the same. She was still thinking that since the Huaxia Empire had so many powerful experts, then if her Woeful Poison Body went there, perhaps it could...

"Huh?! Sigh, I really can't do anything with you people." After saying that, Ye Qiu pretended to search through his bundle for something, while at the same time communicating with the system through his thoughts.

"System, do you sell everything?"

"As long as you have Myriad Realms Coins, the Myriad Realms Shop has everything you could ask for."

"I want to buy Journey to the West, but a version modified according to my requirements. Do you sell that?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Please state your requirements, Host." After a moment of silence, the system's voice sounded.

"Good. Convert the power levels of the characters in Journey to the West into the Dou Qi Continent's ranking system, with Buddha as a Nine Star Dou Sheng and Lord Lao as the peak, a Grade Nine advanced alchemist. Make the divisions realistic..." Ye Qiu stated his requirements.

"No problem. One Myriad Realms Coin for one thousand copies."

"That many? Then how about we discuss this? Just give me one copy, and don't charge me, okay?" Ye Qiu said ingratiatingly.

"No." Two concise and clear words slapped Ye Qiu in the face.

"Fine."

"Have you found it?"

"What are you looking for?" Everyone had waited for quite a while, but still did not see him take anything out, so they asked curiously.

"Oh, yes, here it is. I suddenly got distracted just now." Ye Qiu took an adapted copy of Journey to the West out of the system space. He had also changed the title to Huaxia Empire: Journey to the West.

"This... what is this?" Seeing Ye Qiu take out a book, everyone was very curious, while Little Fairy Doctor directly snatched it away.

"This is a Huaxia history book that records the Journey to the West campaign. The main character is the current Victorious Fighting Buddha of Huaxia's Buddhist Sect, the Ninth Order Magical Beast Ancient Divine Monkey, Sun Wukong," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

"Ah, it's actually a history book recording Great Sage Sun? Brother Qiu, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Luo Danhe said excitedly after hearing his words. This guy had already taken Sun Wukong as his idol.

"I originally planned to just talk about it casually, but seeing how interested everyone is in Great Sage Sun's deeds, I had no choice but to take it out. Fortunately, I've already finished reading all the contents inside. I'll give this book to you."

"Thank you so much." Everyone thanked him excitedly. It seemed the people of the Dou Qi Continent rather liked hearing heroic deeds.

"As for Tang Sanzang and his party, they passed through HunYuan YuShi TongJun Five Villages Temple..." Little Fairy Doctor opened the book and continued reading from where Ye Qiu had stopped.

The group listened to the story of Journey to the West all the way as they traveled toward Wu Tan City. They took turns reading to each other; when someone got tired, another person took over. Like this, the journey actually became the most enjoyable trip they had ever taken.

Seven days passed like this. "Ding. Weekly Task: Spread Journey to the West far and wide across the Dou Qi Continent, and make Huaxia Empire: Journey to the West become a household legend in the Gama Empire. Time limit: one month. Task rewards: Earth Rank Low Level fire-attribute cultivation method—Fire Dragon Art; A-rank Buddhist Character Summoning Card (can summon an A-rank Buddhist character as a follower); three hundred Myriad Realms Coins."

"Promote Journey to the West? Isn't this the rhythm of playing the Gama Empire to pieces? Right, if Xiao Yan saw it, I wonder what he'd think? But I really have to do this task. An A-rank character—that's someone between a high-level Dou Emperor and the peak of Dou Zong! With him here, I'll be able to feel at ease in the Gama Empire. It's just, why does it have to be a monk?"

"But how do I promote it? I can't exactly go sell books, right? What if someone with ulterior motives notices? And there has to be a reason for this. Right, won't an A-rank expert be summoned after the task succeeds? Got it!" Ye Qiu suddenly thought of something.
