Ling City, top floor of Daling Hotel.
Ling Yi was reclining on the sofa, video chatting with Su Qingxue and a few other girls.
"Hey, all of you female leads are together now!"
On the other end of the video call, not only Su Qingxue, Shen Tianli, and Jiang Qingyue were present, but also Bai Yue and Hu Yueyue.
"Seeing so many beautiful women together, aren't you tempted?" Shen Tianli put her left arm around Jiang Qingyue and her right arm around Su Qingxue.
"Tch, women, they only slow down my earning speed, I'm not tempted at all."
[Host, don't forget, in the previous world, you took in Liu Ruyan.]
Ling Yi's face immediately turned somewhat embarrassed.
{Get out of my way! Don't you know you shouldn't hit someone in the face?}
"How was your day?" Ling Yi quickly changed the subject.
Otherwise, if these women steer the conversation astray, who knows where in the universe they'll end up.
"It's all here." Hu Yueyue pointed to a pile of things on the table.
Among them were books, jade vases, antique-style jade pendants, as well as swords, long knives, and armor.
In total, there were exactly thirty-four items.
"There are six martial arts manuals: the Nine Yin Manual, the Nine Yang Divine Skill, the Three Origins Art, the Primordial Unity Skill, the Graceful Steps upon the Waves, and the Dragon-Subduing Palm."
"Unfortunately, these techniques are obscure and difficult to understand. Even Bai Yue can only cultivate the Three Origins Art, because the Three Origins Art is mostly illustrated and easy to understand."
"We plan to cultivate the Three Origins Art first, and that's all we can Three Origins Art."
"Twelve bottles of pills, but we don't know the uses of most of them, and we dare not take them casually."
"Seven weapons, five suits of armor, and four pieces of ancient jade."
"Weapons and armor go without saying, but what exactly are these ancient jade pieces, and what are their uses? It's hard to figure out for the time being."
Ling Yi waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."
"Let's talk about these cultivation techniques first. Among them, the Three Origins Art Technique is the highest grade, with no cultivation requirements and is not difficult to cultivate."
"It's fine for you to start by practicing the Three Origins Art, but starting from scratch and creating something from nothing is not an easy task."
"My suggestion is that you focus on the Three Origins Art for now, and only need to learn the Graceful Steps upon the Waves as a secondary skill."
Bai Yue nodded and said, " The Three Origins Art already has the three unique skills of fist, palm, and leg, so there's no need to cultivate any other martial arts. As for the Graceful Steps upon the Waves, they are also exceptional, whether used for Combat or escape."
"However, we've only received less than half of this opportunity so far. There's a high chance that even more powerful cultivation techniques will emerge in the future, and switching to a different technique then won't be an easy task."
"Furthermore, cultivation is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
At this moment, Su Qingxue said, "I failed to find a chance point today. It was a level 12 chance point located in an Ancient Tomb at the foot of the cliff in Waterfall Mountain."
"According to the coordinates, the opportunity lies in the Ancient Tomb, but this Ancient Tomb is Guard a giant snake as thick as a water bucket. That snake is incredibly strong and impervious to swords and spears."
"After testing the waters, I dared not explore further. For now, I'll just have someone watch, and once I find a way, I'll deal with it."
Since witnessing the secrets of this world, Su Qingxue urgently needs to improve her strength in a short period of time.
" Ji Zefeng, among these pills, there should be some that can quickly increase our strength, right?" Su Qingxue asked, staring at Ling Yi on the screen.
Jiang Qingyue nodded and said, "If we want to unlock more opportunities, we must have the corresponding strength."
"Moreover, opportunities at level 10 and above generally come with danger."
"It wasn't just Su Qingxue; when I activated a level 9 opportunity today, I almost didn't make it back."
"It's this purple jade bottle."
"This jade bottle was originally placed in a box hidden in the side wall of the dry well. The box was easy to find, but when it was opened, several poisoned needles were released from inside."
"If I hadn't been careful and used a stick to open it from a distance, it would probably be gone by now."
Jiang Qingyue spoke casually, but the women all gasped in shock.
"It seems I must be extra careful when seeking opportunities in the future."
Ling Yi then tapped the table and said, "This purple jade bottle contains the Legend Marrow-Cleansing Pill."
"There are ten Marrow-Cleansing Pill inside. One for each of you, that's more than enough."
The women's eyes immediately lit up.
"After you finish taking the Marrow-Cleansing Pill, take the Blood-Refining Pill. You don't need many, just one is enough."
" The Blood-Refining Pill is the elixir in that celadon porcelain bottle."
"This Blood-Refining Pill sounds rather unreliable!" Shen Tianli said.
" Bai Yue, give them a little explanation," Ling Yi said, taking a sip of tea.
Bai Yue glanced at the women, then coughed and adopted the demeanor of an old professor, saying, "Hmm, cough, the origin of this Blood-Refining Pill is indeed not very legitimate."
"It is said to have been created hundreds of years ago by a heretical sect using evil methods, but the specifics of how it was created are unknown."
"The method of refining it is said to have been destroyed by the Three Absolutes Elder."
"But one thing is certain: one Blood-Refining Pill requires the lives of a hundred people."
The women all frowned. One hundred lives needed to refine one pill? Could this even be eaten?
But the results were absolutely genuine.
"Taking the Blood-Refining Pill can purify Martial Practitioner's blood essence and has a certain probability of activating a hidden bloodline."
"What is a hidden bloodline? For example, superhuman strength, Invisibility, or the Fire Control Water Control."
"It's somewhat similar to the superpowered abilities of those Ability User in movies."
Women: We want them!
Even without activating the hidden bloodline, purifying the bloodline can greatly increase cultivation speed, by at least tenfold.
"Increasing Martial Practitioner's comprehension ability means making them smarter and more perceptive."
"If you can't bring yourself to eat them, then all these pills are mine."
"No way!" Su Qingxue and the other girls said in unison.
"The one who's being frivolous is the person who refines the Blood-Refining Pill. What does that have to do with the Blood-Refining Pill?" Shen Tianli reacted quickly and grabbed the porcelain bottle.
"That's right."
"Besides, one is enough for each person; eating more won't do any good. Do you want to hoard them all?"
"I found this bottle of pills, I definitely need a share."
The girls chatted excitedly for a while, but quickly distributed the pills.
"Make a Copy of the Three Origins Art first, and also scan an electronic copy and send it to me." Ling Yi spoke again after seeing that the women had finished distributing the materials.
"The pill in the black jade bottle is Healing Pill, but there's only one."
"The pills in the green cesium porcelain bottle are Antidote Pill. There are quite a few of them, and the pills are very small. There are fifty pills in this bottle."
"The other porcelain bottles contain pills that can be used to increase cultivation speed."
"With these elixirs, you could become masters overnight."
"As for how you distribute these pills and who you entrust them to for safekeeping, that's up to you."
At this point, Ling Yi's expression became more serious.
"What I'm about to say is the important part."
"You female characters will be attacked for a considerable period of time."
"As you probably already know, this world is a Virtual-Dimensional World that evolved from short dramas."
"Is this going to be all frank and open, Ling Yi?" Su Qingxue rolled her eyes.
This time, instead of calling him Ling Yi Ji Zefeng, he directly used Ling Yi's real name.
Among all the female characters, Su Qingxue is the one Ling Yi Cricket the most.
Su Qingxue was naturally very unhappy.
"Ahem!" Ling Yi coughed twice, quickly steer the conversation back on track.
"Only when the Virtual-Dimensional World ascends to the True-Dimensional World will it completely break free from the plot, and only then will you male and female protagonists become truly free."
