Martial arts could be practiced on Earth too

"There's no need to be so polite."

Although the lingzhi contained no Spiritual Qi, judging by the white deer's words, it clearly had not come seeking revenge.

Fang Zelin could not help breathing a sigh of relief.

As long as it had not come seeking revenge or demanding the spirit rice plants back, everything was fine.

Fang Zelin thought it over, still rather unused to the white deer's courtesy. He was a Huaxia native, after all, and valued returning courtesy with courtesy.

"The spirit rice plants you gave me are nearly ripe. You can come have a taste when they're ready."

As Fang Zelin spoke, he pointed at the spirit rice plants beside him.

Since it had brought the lingzhi right to his door, he could hardly return it outright now.

After some thought, he decided he might as well invite it to share some spirit rice.

Still, there did not seem to be much spirit rice.

He had already invited the kappa, then Zhang Weichu, and now a white deer as well.

Once the spirit rice ripened, they really would only get a taste.

But since the spirit rice plants had been a gift from the deer in the first place, Fang Zelin saw nothing wrong with letting it have a taste.

"Spirit rice plants?"

Hearing Fang Zelin's words, the white deer froze briefly before turning to look.

When it saw the spirit rice plants nearby, its breathing immediately grew considerably heavier, and wild joy surged through its heart.

At that moment, it could sense the rich Spiritual Qi contained within the spirit rice plants.

Spiritual Qi like this was something it had rarely encountered in its life!

Of all the places it had traveled through, only one or two had held even a faint trace of Spiritual Qi.

It was only through that little bit of Spiritual Qi, together with the power of moonlight, that it had luckily awakened its intelligence.

And the Spiritual Qi in those few places had long since been absorbed entirely.

Compared to the Spiritual Qi within the spirit rice plants before it, that had been no more than the glow of a firefly!

Sensing the rich Spiritual Power within these spirit rice plants, it felt as though its entire body were being subjected to an immense temptation.

Had its cultivation up to this day not given it an exceptionally steadfast mind,

it would probably have lunged straight over and devoured every last one of these spirit rice plants right then.

An immortal truly was an immortal. Back when these spirit rice plants had grown under the care of heaven and earth, they had been barely clinging to life.

Yet in the immortal's hands, they had flourished to such an extent.

At this thought, the white deer's reverence for Fang Zelin deepened further, and it secretly resolved to find spiritual treasures to give the master in the future.

Just as it had today.

Although its gift had not pleased the master, he had clearly sensed its desire to curry favor.

Otherwise, why would he invite it to share such a spiritual treasure later?

As far as it was concerned, once it had given the spirit rice plants to Fang Zelin, they naturally belonged to him.

And the master must have expended tremendous effort to cultivate the spirit rice plants to their present state.

Under these circumstances, what an honor it was for it to be invited!

"Thank you, Master!"

With that thought, the white deer immediately bent its knees, about to bow.

Watching this, Fang Zelin was momentarily speechless. Why did this fellow seem ready to bow at the drop of a hat?

Though somewhat speechless, he still waved a hand, signaling for it to rise.

The white deer knew that its presence here might be rather bothersome. After glancing at the spirit rice plants nearby, it knew they still needed some time to ripen.

Seeing this, it bowed to Fang Zelin again, then turned and departed across the water.

Watching this scene, Zhang Weichu now looked at Fang Zelin with eyes full of astonishment.

Although he had already known that Fang Zelin was an immortal's disciple,

seeing even a deer demon treat Fang Zelin with such reverence made him feel all the more that Fang Zelin was far from ordinary.

Meanwhile, the kappa in the distant river had also seen the entire scene clearly.

Its thoughts upon witnessing this were exactly the same as Zhang Weichu's.

Fang Zelin had no idea what Zhang Weichu and the kappa were thinking. Seeing the deer demon leave, he turned and stroked the spirit rice plants beside him.

"You'd better do me proud and grow some more spirit rice. It'll be embarrassing if there isn't even a bowl for each of us."

Normally, getting that much rice from just a few plants would have been quite impossible.

But the spirit rice plants before him already had a great many ears.

By the look of things, there should be enough for everyone to have a share.

The spirit rice plants swayed in the breeze, giving off little wisps of Spiritual Qi.

"Hiss... it really works?"

On Earth, inside an apartment building, a man stared at his hands in disbelief, then glanced at the table beside him.

His face was filled with utter shock, as though he had discovered something incredible.

Beside him lay a Quest for the Dao gaming helmet.

"How is that possible? How could this be possible!"

Although he had been hoping all along that he might be able to cultivate the Qi Force from Quest for the Dao,

it was only because the method of cultivating Qi Force in Quest for the Dao had left such a deep impression and felt so real.

That had prompted him to try cultivating it in reality.

He had kept hoping that, if he really managed to cultivate Qi Force, wouldn't he instantly become a martial arts expert?

Yet now that he actually felt Qi Force circulating within his body, he suddenly began to panic.

He could not help finding it difficult to accept.

If he could cultivate Qi Force, then this game, Quest for the Dao...

Was it something extraordinary?

With that thought in mind, he could not help feeling somewhat panicked.

At the same time.

After someone on Earth discovered that the Qi Force cultivation method from Quest for the Dao could actually be successfully practiced on Earth,

people in several other cities also began cultivating Qi Force, one after another.

For a time, there were signs of winds rising and clouds surging on Earth.

Quite a few of those who had cultivated Qi Force chose to conceal it outright.

They wanted to wait and see whether anyone else would mention it.

Or rather, they wanted to see what would happen to others who came forward, and whether people would accept this.

Amid this silence, they did not have to wait long.

Soon, someone named Ye Liuling stepped into the public eye.

It was as though everything had happened quite naturally.

Ye Liuling filmed a video declaring that Qi Force had been successfully learned from Quest for the Dao and mastered here on Earth, ending it by shattering a marble table with a single palm strike.

The video shot straight onto the trending searches.

In just half a day, it had amassed over a million views.

Countless people questioned it, saying some special trick or other had been used.

Others were half convinced and half doubtful.

They were all people who had already successfully mastered Qi Force in Quest for the Dao, and quite a few had been secretly practicing on Earth.

They all felt that the sensation of Qi Force was so real that they ought to be able to learn it.

Thus, after watching this video, they were already mostly convinced.
