Chapter 44: Ancient Jade and the Incomplete Cultivation Skill
Translator: 549690339
“Village Chief, I have something to discuss with you privately.”
At this moment, Wang Ping suddenly spoke to the village chief with a serious expression on his face.
“Village Chief, Chifeng should possess a latent spiritual body. Is there any cultivation skill in the village that can awaken him?”
Although Wang Ping had confirmed this matter in the Life Simulator that there was no suitable cultivation skill in Chi Village, he still wanted to ask once more.
“Yes, and no…” Wang Ping’s sudden message made the village chief slightly stunned, and after a moment of silence, he gave this answer.
The village chief was not surprised, obviously, he had known about Chifeng’s extraordinary physique for a long time.
“What does that mean?” Wang Ping was puzzled.
The current situation was clearly different from what happened in the life simulation, so the village chief in the simulation must have hidden something.
“Our Chi Village’s Fire Spirit Skill was once adapted from an Earth-tier Cultivation Skill. And that cultivation skill was specifically practiced by the people of the ancient Chi Clan,” The village chief sighed.
“However, most of it has been lost, and the remaining parts are seriously incomplete, making it impossible to practice. This is why it was adapted into another cultivation skill,” he added.
“I see.” Wang Ping nodded with understanding.
No wonder the village chief spoke in such an ambiguous manner. If the truth were like this, everything could be explained.
“What a pity that the child has a latent spiritual body… Now it’s impossible for us to awaken his spiritual body using any method.” The village chief sighed deeply after recalling Wang Ping’s words. “Even three hundred years ago, it would not have been possible.”
Wang Ping nodded.
He had also confirmed this point in the life simulation.
“About the Li Family.” Wang Ping looked at the morning glow and said slowly:
“When I go out this time, I will make them lose the power to threaten Chi Village.”
“What?” The village chief looked at Wang Ping in astonishment, almost thinking that he had heard wrong.
“Wait, your cultivation…” At this moment, the village chief finally noticed something wrong.
Wang Ping looked much younger, his skin had become extremely fair, and he had an otherworldly temperament.
In addition, the village chief could no longer see through Wang Ping’s cultivation level.
Logically, one could only see through another’s cultivation if they were of the same level or higher.
“I made a breakthrough.” As Wang Ping said this, he also revealed a trace of his own aura.
“Spiritual Origin Realm!” The village chief’s pupils constricted, revealing an incredulous expression.
It didn’t take long for Wang Ping to reach the Spiritual Origin Realm. Even if he could devour spiritual stones, his speed shouldn’t have been this fast.
Obviously, Wang Ping had a secret the village chief didn’t know about. However, in this world, who doesn’t have secrets? Wang Ping held great goodwill and trust towards Chi Village, so naturally, the village chief would not pry into his secrets, nor did he dare to.
“With my current strength, I am capable of destroying the Li Family. Once I destroy the Li Family, Chi Village will be safe.” Wang Ping said confidently.
“Your physique is so special, you should cultivate for a while first, and then when you are truly invincible, you can go and deal with the Li Family.” The village chief was very grateful and said hastily, “Our Chi Village already owes you too much. We really don’t want you to get into trouble because of us.” “Don’t worry, I have everything under control.” Wang Ping nodded.
Of course, he wouldn’t recklessly go and destroy the Li Family.
After all, the Li Family still had connections with the Sword Spirit Sect.
The village chief nodded, and after taking a deep breath, he walked forward and said, “Wang Ping, follow me. There are two things that might be of great help to you.”
“What are they?” Wang Ping was amazed and followed him.
Soon, Wang Ping followed the village chief to his house.
Then, Wang Ping saw the village chief take out a crystal-clear Pure White Ancient Jade from a hidden compartment under his bed.
On the Pure White Ancient Jade, there were red flame patterns, which looked very beautiful.
“What is this?” Wang Ping was very surprised.
“I don’t know its origin either.” The village chief gently stroked the Ancient Jade and recalled, “This is a relic passed down in my Chi Village, and it also serves as a token verification for our village chief. Only the village chief knows its secret. On the day of the Chi Clan’s Genocide, the village chief only had time to let me take this object and a few of our people to escape through a secret passage.”
“Although I don’t know what secret this Ancient Jade hides, I do know that it has a mysterious effect. Fifty years ago, I was unable to forget the tragic scene in the village and held deep hatred towards the Li Family. An accident occurred while practicing, and I almost lost control due to my anger. In the end, it was this Ancient Jade that emitted a bright glow and made me regain my senses.””Such an important thing, entrusting it to me, it doesn’t feel right.” Wang Ping shook his head, with a shocked expression.
This ancient jade, being an heirloom of the Chi Clan, was definitely not simple, and must be hiding a great secret within.
He was just an outsider, and he couldn’t just take the Chi Clan’s heirloom carelessly.
“This thing, staying with me, won’t do any good.” The village chief said with a bitter smile, and slowly continued: “One day, our Chi Clan will end up as ordinary people, because…”
Listening to the village chief’s recounting of Chi Village’s past, Wang Ping was silent.
From the simulator, he had already learned about the Chi Clan’s past.
The Bloodline Curse of Chi Village had been affecting them all along.
How glorious the Chi Clan used to be, and now even breaking through to the Innate Realm was very difficult…
If the Bloodline Curse could not be lifted, eventually, they would not even be able to cultivate, and would completely become ordinary people.
Even Wang Ping, as he was now, could not guarantee that he could break the Bloodline Curse on the Chi Clan.
Because there were too many unsolved mysteries in it, with deep implications.
Although Wang Ping had the Life Simulator, he did not think that he could always change the bad luck to good and live forever.
“Wang Ping, you are the most suitable person to hold this item. After all, your cultivation progress is too fast, and inevitably there will be problems with your Tao Heart. This thing can save your life at a critical moment.”
“This is our Chi Clan’s way of repaying you, so please accept it. Moreover, even though our Chi Clan had a glorious past, it is ultimately going to come to an end. This thing is useless to us now.”
The village chief placed the ancient jade in Wang Ping’s hand, and sighed. “Besides, although it’s a bit presumptuous of me, I still hope that you’ll try your best to protect our descendants in the future. You don’t need to make them successful, just make sure that others don’t dare to bully them. The future Chi family members are destined to abandon martial arts, to study, or to become merchants.”
In the end, the village chief’s expression was very desolate and sad.
The past glory, like a passing cloud, now had to make such a helpless choice.
“Village chief…” Wang Ping held the ancient jade and handed it back, saying with mixed emotions: “You don’t have to do this.”
In this world, who can not wither away?
Even if the Chi Clan had once been incomparably glorious, they had finally come to this step, which made people sigh.
Moreover, the mysterious disappearance of the Chi villagers in the Life Simulator left him feeling uneasy.
“As I said before, we won’t need this thing in the future. You should keep it. If you become stronger, our Chi family members will be safer and enjoy the blessings of riches and honor.”
The village chief stepped back again and shook his head.
“To be honest, I am very grateful that you appeared in our Chi Village. Otherwise, I can’t imagine what would happen in the future. Even if we were not wiped out by the Li Family, the path ahead would still be exceptionally difficult, struggling in the mortal world. Perhaps, one day, an accident would completely cut off the line of descendants of Chi Village.” The village chief’s eyes were deep, looking far away.
Wang Ping was at a loss for words as the chief spoke the truth.
If he hadn’t shown up, even if they escaped the disaster of the Li Family, there was still the catastrophe of the Beast Tide in the Black Wind Forest.
After escaping the Beast Tide, there would be a continuous war for more than a decade.
They didn’t know what dangers they would encounter in the future.
In this world, it’s too hard to survive.
That’s why the average lifespan of people in ancient times was so short.
In a world without Extraordinary Power like this Profound World, the average lifespan would only be even shorter.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll accept this ancient jade.”
With mixed feelings, Wang Ping did not refuse, and holding the ancient jade, put it into the Lower-tier Storage Ring.
“There is one more thing for you.”
At this moment, the village chief spoke again, taking an ancient, yellowed book from another hidden compartment under the bed.
“This
Wang Ping was surprised.
“This is the cultivation skill handed down by our Chi Clan since a thousand years ago. It is the incomplete cultivation skill I mentioned before.”
The village chief said earnestly..
