Chapter 60 Na Yuan Dan

Was Lei Chun tempted?

Of course I'm tempted!

Do you know what kind of pain it is to be unable to learn martial arts in a world where martial virtue is abundant?

She has endured this pain for more than a decade.

Even though she was born intelligent and had a superior status, she could still live better than most people without martial arts skills.

But she never wanted to experience that feeling of having to rely on others for protection when in danger again.

Looking into Xiu's sincere eyes, Lei Chun nodded without hesitation.

"I want!"

"What should we do?"

He showed off his unexpected encounter with a smile.

"Just sit down."

"Sit cross-legged, with your palms facing upwards, like I am, facing me."

Following the instructions to show off his extraordinary adventures, Lei Chun sat down in front of him.

Before she could even ask what to do next, she suddenly felt a mysterious force compelling her to extend her hands.

The next moment, their palms met, and a warm force flowed from their hands to every part of her body.

This miraculous power coursed through her delicate meridians, widening them without causing her any harm. Ultimately, it gathered all her internal energy into her dantian.

It felt like an eternity. Lei Chun felt the power within her body growing stronger and stronger until she felt a throbbing pain in her meridians, at which point the power stopped flowing.

Before she could even open her eyes and experience the power firsthand, she heard Wang Xiaoshi's exclamation.

"Are you crazy? You're just transferring your power to her?"

Lei Chun suddenly opened his eyes and saw Wang Xiaoshi anxiously supporting Xiu Chuqi's shoulder and asking him a question.

"how are you feeling?"

"It's done!"

Showing off his unexpected adventure, he looked at the system notification that the transfer of power was complete, completely ignoring Wang Xiaoshi's question.

Only one sentence was on her mind.

"I'm going to make it big!"

"How are you? Don't die!"

Seeing that Xiu Chu hadn't said anything after her strange encounter, Wang Xiaoshi got anxious and quickly shook her shoulder.

Coming to his senses, Show-off saw the NPC shaking his shoulders and quickly typed a reply.

"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine."

He hurriedly stood up and even jumped up and down a couple of times to show that he was fine.

Lei Chun also realized from Wang Xiaoshi's performance that showing off his extraordinary encounter might be dangerous.

He quickly asked.

"Will the transfer of skills cause her any harm?"

This time, it was Bai Choufei who responded to her.

He was looking at the lively and energetic Xiu Chuqiyu with a look of astonishment.

"You've never practiced martial arts, so you don't know. The act of passing on skills usually only happens to people who are about to die."

"Because the internal energy we cultivate all originates from the dantian. If it's just transferring internal energy, that's fine. But if you want to transfer power, you must transfer the original power of your own dantian to the other person's dantian and stabilize it for them before you can succeed."

"However, this behavior is extremely dangerous. Even if it succeeds, the person who transmits the power will be unable to contain internal energy again due to damage to the origin of their dantian, and will eventually die from the dissipation of their power."

As he spoke, he looked at Xiu Chuqiyu, his eyes gleaming with a strange light.

"I had only ever heard of the transfer of skills in martial arts legends before, because no one would be willing to give up their skills and their life to another person. I never expected to see one today."

"And she's still alive after the transfer of her powers?"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Lei Chun's wrist.

Lei Chun instinctively struggled and easily broke free.

Bai Choufei looked at Lei Chun in surprise, then immediately turned to look at Xiu Chuqiyu, his eyes shining even brighter.

He was already a top-notch expert in the martial arts world. Lei Chun, who had never practiced martial arts before, was able to easily break free from his restraints after receiving the transmission of his skills, although this was partly due to the fact that he did not use his full strength.

But ultimately, it was due to the purity and depth of her internal energy.

Showing off his extraordinary encounter allowed Tian Chun to pass on at least ten years' worth of skills!

But how old is she?

Bai Choufei looked at Xiu Chuqi, who looked no more than twenty years old. She was so young, yet she had such profound internal strength.

On the other side, Wang Xiaoshi was still earnestly advising Xiu not to do such foolish things after sharing his extraordinary experience.

"Passing on skills is no joke; it's a very dangerous thing."

"You were lucky this time that nothing happened. Under normal circumstances, the person who transmits the power will die from exhaustion of internal energy due to damage to their own source."

Knowing the other person meant well, patiently explain the extraordinary encounter.

"It's okay, I have experience, there won't be any danger."

Wang Xiaoshi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Bai Choufei stopped him.

"After all, we've only met by chance, and it's not appropriate to have deep conversations with someone you don't know well."

Wang Xiaoshi hesitated for a moment, then looked back at Bai Choufei and exchanged a glance, but ultimately did not continue to persuade him.

This commotion had already brought dawn close.

The group sat on the boat, swaying gently with the river, watching the rising sun, which created a unique and pleasant atmosphere.

Amidst such a beautiful scene, Bai Choufei suddenly turned to Tian Chun and said, "Such a beautiful view should naturally be accompanied by celestial music. Would I have the honor of hearing Miss Tian Chun play a tune on the zither?"

Tian Chun looked at Bai Choufei with suspicion: "How did you know I could play the piano?"

Bai Choufei looked into Tian Chun's eyes: "How could such beautiful hands not know how to play the piano?"

Tian Chun smiled slightly, not refuting. He turned around, went back into the cabin, and brought out his zither. He casually sat down on the floor and began to play.

The guqin played a melodious tune, but Tian Chun, who had learned martial arts, played it with a free and unrestrained spirit, just like her state of mind.

Inspired by this, Wang Xiaoshi, who was standing nearby, also took out his bamboo flute from his waist and began to play along with the music.

Seeing this strange encounter, a thought struck him. Remembering the Nanyin sanxian he had only recently acquired, he took it out and started playing it haphazardly.

The squeaking and creaking of the instrument broke the ensemble's rhythm. Everyone stopped to look and couldn't help but chuckle.

"The instrument is a good instrument, but the player's technique is not good enough. He needs to practice more."

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he wasn't annoyed by these words; instead, he smiled and agreed.

“You’re the first person to let me practice more. Everyone else who hears me play the Nanyin Sanxian only says that to me,”

"If you play that broken instrument on Xia Ke Island again, I'll get the people from Zong Yue to deal with you."

He then burst into laughter.

Others didn't understand the joke behind the sentence and just felt confused.

Wang Xiaoshi, young and spirited, was also very curious, so he quickly asked.

"Are the people there so unfriendly? It's not easy for beginners to play musical instruments well."

He waved his hand, showing off his extraordinary encounter, not knowing how to explain it, and could only vaguely brush it off.

"Perhaps there are too many people playing Nanyin Sanxian at the same time."

He stood up and put away his Nanyin sanxian. He winked at Wang Xiaoshi.

"Actually, I can play really well sometimes."

"Really?" she said with a gentle smile. "I don't believe it. Your playing was about the same level as my singing. How much better could it be?"

Seeing that she didn't believe him, he decisively put away the Nanyin Sanxian (a three-stringed plucked instrument) and replaced the one hanging on his back with the Liren Sanxian (another three-stringed plucked instrument).

Click to use.

The next moment, the "Show Your Adventure" feature began to automatically play Dunhuang music.

The group, who had just witnessed the terrible skills of the person who had just experienced the strange encounter, were immediately stunned by this sudden reversal.

She can actually play it so beautifully!

As the song ended, Xiu showed off her extraordinary encounter, proudly raising her chin.

"How about that? You're convinced now?"

She nodded gently and frantically.

"I'm convinced, I'm convinced."

"But," she looked curiously behind Xiu Chuqiyu, "where did you hide that Nanyin sanxian you just had?"

"And how did this pipa in your hand suddenly appear? It's so big, where did you hide it before?"

The others also looked over curiously.

Seeing everyone's curious looks, Xiuchu winked playfully.

"It's a secret."

Upon hearing this, the group didn't ask any more questions. They simply enjoyed the sunrise in silence before returning to their cabins to rest.

As the only person who doesn't need to sleep, Showing off his extraordinary adventures hasn't kept him idle either.

Remembering that Kunyu Xuanjing was still waiting for him in his homeland, Xiuchu decided to go back to his homeland to see him.

Upon returning home, Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she immediately spotted the Kunyu Xuanjing that had remained in place.

"Have you been waiting for me here all this time?"

Kunyu Xuanjing nodded, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Xiu Chuqiyu: "How about it? Can I go into the game levels with you?"

Feeling uneasy under the gaze of Kunyu Xuanjing, he could only offer a dry consolation after showing off his extraordinary encounter: "Actually, the game levels are quite boring. Right now there's no plot or missions, it's pretty dull."

Kun Yu Xuan Jing's eyes dimmed, but she still managed to force a smile.

"Oh, I see. Then I won't go."

"I just hope you have fun."

Completely oblivious to Kunyu Xuanjing's manipulative remarks, Xiushuo felt even more sorry for Kunyu Xuanjing's forced smile.

"How about I come back more often to chat with you? Anyway, I can freely enter the homestead in the game levels."

"Really?" Kunyu Xuanjing's eyes lit up. "Won't this delay your progress too much?"

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he decisively shook his head: "Of course not, at most it will just consume a few more Detoxifying Powders."

“I have plenty of these; I have over two thousand in my backpack.”

Kunyu Xuanjing finally smiled genuinely.

That's great.

I chatted with Kunyu Xuanjing for a while, and then went fishing. I watched as, with the same number of casts, Kunyu Xuanjing filled more than a dozen boxes more than me. Showing off my extraordinary encounter broke my guard.

"Hey, I feel like it's about time for the next storyline to come out. How about I go finish the game first, and we can go fishing together next time?"

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he stared longingly at the Kunyu Xuanjing.

Knowing that showing off her extraordinary encounter was actually a sign of being hurt, Kunyu Xuanjing smiled secretly and generously let her leave.

"Okay, go ahead."

Showing off his amazing encounter, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly re-entered the game level.

Once again left behind, Kunyu Xuanjing did not stay put to wait for the return of the adventurer, but instead chose to chat with other heroes.

I recall He Xian's comments on Xiu Chu's extraordinary encounter.

"Kind-hearted, quick-working, sentimental, and reasonably skilled. He was easily fooled when he was young and adventurous, but he's become much smarter in recent years..."

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle."

If he hadn't just learned some things about Xiu's past adventures from He Xian, how could he have successfully pretended to be pitiful and tricked her into promising to come back and spend more time with him?

Thinking of how Xiu had just experienced the strange encounter, Kun Yu Xuan Jing smiled indulgently.

Actually, not much has changed; people are still easily deceived.

She's too soft-hearted.

I have to protect her properly.

Returning to the game level, the adventure unfolds once again in the ship's cabin. It's already afternoon.

Before they could even show off their amazing adventure and step out of the cabin, they heard a commotion outside.

"Gentlemen, I am but a businessman, merely ferrying guests in a small boat. I truly have no idea where Miss Liufenbantang is!"

"She left from your ship and killed the Seven Fiends under the banner of the Seven Saints of the Bewitching Heaven. How could you not know that someone died on your ship?"

"Tell me, where exactly is Lei Chun?"

He overheard something, peeked out, and saw a group of red-named players looking for trouble. Remembering the abundant loot dropped by red-named monsters in the game levels, his eyes lit up.

"What do you want with Lei Chun?"

Several burly men who had come to gather information saw a beautiful woman walk out of the cabin. Their eyes narrowed, and they immediately placed their knives against the boat captain's neck.

"You still say you don't know Lei Chun's whereabouts? Isn't she hiding on your ship?"

It turns out that this group of people didn't know what Lei Chun looked like; they had only received orders to come here to find her. By a twist of fate, they mistook Xiu's extraordinary encounter for Lei Chun's.

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, a thought immediately popped into his head.

"Since you're looking for me, then don't hurt anyone else. I'll go with you."

"But you need to make it clear what you want from me."

Seeing that she was sensible, the burly men smiled.

"Since Miss Lei has spoken up, then we brothers will spare this kid's life."

"We brothers don't know what our lord wants with you. It's probably just something to threaten Master Lei or Master Su."

"Who told you to be not only the young lady of the Six and a Half Hall, but also the fiancée of the owner of the Golden Wind and Fine Rain Pavilion?"

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he was also greatly surprised to hear this.

"Lei Chun has such a distinguished background. No wonder she had to hide her identity and say that she was called Tian Chun before."

"But who exactly wants to arrest her?"

Thinking of that girl who had no martial arts skills but was willing to step forward to protect others, Show-off decided to follow these red-named individuals and go on an adventure.

Since the player is immortal, she didn't want that vibrant girl to become a dead, forgotten memory in the story.

Thinking of this, Xiu Chuqi proactively closed the martial arts assistant. He stood quietly in place, watching the burly men tie him up with ropes.

"That's not right, brother. If Lei Chun is the eldest daughter of the Six and a Half Hall, why doesn't she have a single maidservant by her side?"

A young man with a long, sharp camera spoke up.

"And look at the two swords she's carrying on her back; you can tell at a glance they're divine weapons."

"But as everyone knows, Lei Sun, the apple of the eye of the head of the Lei family, was born with weak meridians and could not practice martial arts. Is she really Lei Chun?"

The burly man at the head of the group hesitated upon hearing this.

Show off your serendipitous encounters and speak up at the right time.

"Who says Lei Chun can't practice martial arts?"

Just because it couldn't be done before doesn't mean it can't be done now.

The burly man glanced at Xiu Chuqi with hesitation: "How can such an innate defect as weak meridians be changed by human effort?"

"You feel you can't change it because you've only encountered mediocre people. In the eyes of truly extraordinary people, it's just a minor problem."

He then looked at the burly man in the lead and said, "Besides, now that I know you're here to arrest Lei Chun, what benefit would I get from impersonating her at this time?"

"If I really were a fake, I'd be doomed to die once things were exposed. You don't think anyone would deliberately seek death, do you?"

A thoughtful look flashed in the big man's eyes.

Indeed, their mission to capture Lei Chun was destined to fail. Bringing back an imposter would at least allow her to serve as a scapegoat, which would at least lessen their guilt.

With that thought in mind, the burly man in the lead finally stopped hesitating.

He waved to the people behind him and then tied up Xiu Chuqiyu.

"In that case, Miss Lei, please accompany us brothers on this trip."

The burly man still wanted to remove the dragon carp that had displayed its extraordinary adventure. Unfortunately, he couldn't pull it off no matter how hard he tried. Seeing that it was getting late, he had no choice but to give up.

Showing off her extraordinary adventure, her hands were bound behind her back, and a black blindfold was placed over her head. She followed the burly men off the boat, then into a carriage, which took her through countless turns before finally leading her to a secluded courtyard.

However, these methods, which could normally deceive most people's senses, are completely ineffective at showing off one's extraordinary encounter.

It was simply because she wasn't seeing things through the eyes of a game character. She clearly saw herself being taken off the ship by the big man and his men, stuffed into a carriage, and then re-entering another merchant ship.

The carriage moved around on the boat, making it appear as if it were traveling on land, but in reality, it never left the river.

They waited until the merchant ship arrived in the capital before disembarking in the carriage that had carried them through their extraordinary adventure and entering a secluded house.

Show, whose blindfold had been removed again, glanced at the map.

He fell silent, staring at the six large characters "Youqiao Group Outpost" clearly displayed on the system map.

So what's the point of making NPCs so complicated for her?

The existence of a system map is really unfair to NPCs.

As the blindfold was removed, two NPCs named Zhang Tieshu and Zhang Liexin came out of the house.

The two glanced at the man who had shown off his extraordinary encounter, frowned, and then looked at the burly man who had led the way in.

"Who is she? Even if Lei Chun has returned to the capital, you don't need to just grab someone to fob us off, do you?"

The big man was not surprised at all, but he pretended to be deceived.

"What? Lei Chun has already returned to the capital? This person isn't Lei Chun?"

The burly man feigned surprise as he explained.

“Following the clues provided by our informant, my brothers and I located the merchant ship that Miss Lei had rented and made a special effort to intercept it before she arrived in Beijing.”

"At the time, only this woman on the ship matched Lei Chun's appearance, and she even admitted that she was Lei Chun. How could we be wrong?"

Zhang Tieshu was less cunning than Zhang Liexin. He didn't see through the big man's disguise.

"Never mind, this wasn't your fault to begin with. It was just that the informant was too slow in delivering the message, and you happened to miss it."

After saying that, he frowned and looked at Xiu Chuqiyu.

"Who exactly are you? What is your purpose in impersonating Lei Chun?"

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he chuckled and said, "I haven't even asked you what your purpose is in capturing Lei Chun, and you're asking me first?"

"Don't be so stubborn!" A flash of anger crossed Zhang Tieshu's face as he took a step forward.

Zhang Liexin, who was standing to the side, reached out to stop the impulsive Zhang Tieshu, turned around and looked at the burly men who had brought Xiu with their extraordinary encounter, revealing a meaningful smile.

"You may all leave now."

The burly man felt uneasy seeing the smile on Zhang Liexin's face, but he didn't dare to say anything more and could only leave as instructed.

After everyone else had left, Zhang Liexin looked at Zhang Tieshu, whom he had stopped.

"Brother, don't worry. Maybe we brothers can turn this misfortune into a blessing and gain that person's favor."

He then gave Zhang Tieshu a look before turning to Xiu Chuqiyu.

"Since you've disguised yourself as Miss Lei to attend the appointment in her place, you must have some connection with her."

"I happen to have some things I don't understand, and I would appreciate your guidance, young lady."

"Is this how you ask for advice?"

She didn't know what the other party was up to by showing off their unexpected encounter, but she knew how to use someone else's connections to her advantage. She glanced back and gestured for them to untie the rope.

However, the other person did not help her untie the ropes, but instead smiled and shook their head.

"I find the sword on your back to be quite extraordinary. Without knowing your martial arts skills, I dare not loosen the restraints. Please forgive me."

Before he could retort by showing off his extraordinary encounter, Zhang Liexin continued to speak.

"We originally only intended to invite Miss Lei to stay for a while. However, after we had sent everyone out, we were surprised to learn that she had already returned safely to the capital."

"Not only that, but she has also changed her previous delicate appearance and has started to learn martial arts from Master Lei."

"Since you happen to appear at this time, and even impersonated Miss Lei and were captured by us, then please enlighten me: what exactly happened to Lei Chun that changed her frail physique, which prevented her from practicing martial arts?"

Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she asked with some confusion, "Are you so sure I know the answer to this question?"

Zhang Liexin shook his head: "I'm not sure. But even if you were completely unaware, your beauty is enough to make you a decoration in the master's garden."

As he spoke, he reached forward, trying to pinch the chin of the woman who had just revealed her extraordinary encounter.

Seeing through the other party's intentions, Xiu Chuqi stepped back and quickly clicked to break free. With a tremor of her hands, she broke the ropes binding her.

Under the surprised gazes of Zhang Tieshu and Zhang Liexin, he directly opened the martial arts assistant.

A moment later, only a corpse and Zhang Liexin, who was barely alive, remained in the courtyard.

Seeing that the NPC still had a sliver of health left on his head, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief after showing off his extraordinary encounter.

That's the downside of being a martial arts assistant; it almost killed all the people it had chosen as its tools.

Seeing Zhang Liexin looking at him warily, he deliberately showed off his extraordinary encounter, pretending to be confident of victory.

"Considering you are about to die, I am not incapable of answering your question."

"Lei Chun was able to learn martial arts because she took our sect's secret medicine, the Na Yuan Dan."

"This medicine is extremely precious. Just one pill can increase one's internal strength for a year, and it has no side effects."

"She consumed a large amount of Na Yuan Pills, which increased her internal strength by ten years out of thin air. This allowed her to nourish her naturally weak meridians and successfully learn martial arts."

As she spoke, she deliberately acted arrogantly with her back to him, only turning around after confirming that the other party had taken out the hidden weapon.

"you……"

Before he could finish speaking, a hidden weapon flew towards him. Suppressing his conditioned reflex to dodge the red circle, he deliberately allowed himself to be hit by the weapon.

"ah!"

With a gasp, she showed off her extraordinary encounter and took a few steps back.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Liexin flipped over and jumped up from the ground, quickly scaling the wall and escaping.
