Chapter 295.2: Mixed and Pure Bloodlines
Qi Yuan handed over the next part of Super Invincible Somewhat Explosive Technique. "I’ve improved your technique. Reaching Foundation Establishment won’t be a problem. I need some materials. Help me prepare them."
He also listed materials, including puppet-making components and cultivation resources. Since this world lacked spirit items for establishing foundation, he would make them himself.
He would attempt Foundation Establishment in about a month and form a core within half a year. At that point, he could bring Ning Tao over.
"Understood," Kuang Huan said. "I may not be able to personally deliver your materials for a while, Mr. Qi. Wugui and Yuelang are at war again. I need to transport weapons to support Yuelang."
Besides dealing in arms trade, the viscount also worked for the military. He could be away for months or even years.
Qi Yuan didn’t care. "As long as my materials arrive, it’s fine."
Wugui’s atrocities had been exposed in recent news, so a war wasn’t surprising. The conflict between Wugui and Yuelang had reached a tipping point. Even if the two nations didn’t want war, the global powers would force it.
Kuang Huan sincerely assured, "Rest assured, Mr Qi. I’ll make sure you get the items you need."
Qi Yuan sighed. "Too bad I’m not a demonic cultivator, nor do I have a Myriad Soul Banner. Otherwise, I could collect many remnant souls on the battlefield."
Since mortals had no primordial souls, once they died, that was it. On the other hand, cultivators could extract remnant souls and refine them into artifacts using a Myriad Soul Banner.
Kuang Huan was confused. "What is a Myriad Soul Banner?"
"Well, anyone using such artifacts is usually evil. If you see them, run."
Qi Yuan was a lawful and kind citizen—the type that would give up his seat in buses for a grandpa. Naturally, he despised demonic cultivators.
"I’ll keep that in mind."
How could Kuang Huan not remember every single word that Qi Yuan uttered? To him, Qi Yuan was a legendary cultivator.
***
One month later, Qi Yuan was training at Mingwu Martial Arts Gym.
He had reached the ninth layer of Mingwu Resonance Fist. Compared to when he first arrived at the martial arts gym, he appeared far more energetic. His punches were also fierce and powerful.
Nearby, students chatted casually. Especially Wang Shiqiao, who sat with one leg crossed over the other. She smoked a ladies’ cigarette without paying attention to her image.
She enviously stared at Xing Yu. "Hey, Rich Lady Xing, lend me some money to spend! I heard you got 170 million this time!"
Just half a month ago, Xing Yu’s husband had finally passed away. The inheritance had been divided, and Xing Yu received 170 million.
It was by no means a small amount, even for the students. Perhaps, only Xu Tiehua could come up with 170 million in cash. Xing Yu had become one of the richest among them.
A trace of gratified warmth appeared in Xing Yu’s eyes. "Stop thinking about my money. I’m already planning to build a school in my hometown."
She hailed from a small town and a very ordinary family. Though it was called a town, its population was smaller than even a village on Blue Planet. The school there was also especially run-down.
When Xing Yu got into a top university, everyone in the town had given her gifts. It could be said that most of her university tuition had been paid for by them.
Tuition fees in the Qin Yuan Kingdom were exorbitant. At key universities in particular, tuition could reach hundreds of thousands annually. Even with admission to prestigious universities, many poor students couldn’t afford the cost and were forced to take out high-interest loans.
If not for the townspeople, Xing Yu wouldn’t have been able to attend university. She was deeply grateful to them. That was why after becoming successful, she had not forgotten to support the town. In addition to building a school, she planned to start a company using Tianyue’s resources to support her hometown.
Wang Shiqiao couldn’t help but remark, "You’ve only got 170 million, and you’re already wasting it like this. Be careful not to blow it all in a few years."
Xing Yu smiled. "Don’t worry, I’m keeping 20 million untouched. Even if it fails, at worst I’ll just live as an ordinary person."
To her husband’s son, she was a shameless and greedy gold-digger. Yet to the townspeople, she was undoubtedly successful and filial.
Wang Shiqiao stubbed out her cigarette. "20 million isn’t enough. The international situation is so complicated right now. Yuelang and Wugui are at war again. Those damned Guiran people, always doing inhuman things!
"Especially the Wugui’s leader! He even threatened retaliation against us yesterday. For a dog of Ancient Wu, he’s got such nerve!"
Whenever the Guiran people were mentioned, she got angry to the point her chest ached. Last night, she even traded insults online with a Guiran person for dozens of comment threads. She was so enraged, she nearly enlisted and supported Yuelang herself. Of course, that was just a thought. There was no way she would actually join the military.
Xing Yu smiled. "You should stop arguing with people online. You can’t win the argument in the first place."
As her roommate, Xing Yu knew Wang Shiqiao’s personality well. One look and she could tell Wang Shiqiao had been fighting with someone online last night.
"I just wanted to vent my anger. That guy was too disgusting. As a soldier, how could he slaughter civilians? And not only was he not ashamed, he was even proud of it! He even posted videos to show off! Are they even humans?!"
"Well, no. At least, that’s what they believe. Didn’t their leader claim that the Guiran people are descendants left behind on Arch Star from Brilliant Star? Their bloodline is noble, after all. Why would they ever treat us as their own kind?"
Inside the martial arts hall, everyone was discussing the war between Yuelang and Wugui.
At that moment, Qi Yuan raised an eyebrow and stopped what he was doing. "Looks like you’re not up to it, Wang Shiqiao. I’d track down anyone who insulted me online and make them regret it!"
In fact, he had done that sort of thing many times before.
Wang Shiqiao laughed. "Haha, since you’re so awesome, why don’t you help kill the person who insulted me last night?"
Qi Yuan shrugged. "He wasn’t insulting me, so I can’t be bothered."
Wang Shiqiao said jokingly, "If you bring me his head, I’ll give you 1 million!"
Since she didn’t mean it, she could say whatever she wanted.
