“Confirm if you are exchanging for Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.”

　　”Confirm.”

　　”Please enter the amount of Integrated Network Coins you would like to pay, the lowest price for Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique is set at 10 Integrated Network Coins.”

　　Yi Qiu thought about it and typed in 50.

　　”Exchange success, Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique is activated.”

　　”You have obtained Lama’s copy of Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.”

　　”This item has been sent to your bag.”

　　Lama’s copy of Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique:

　　Origin: The legend of Jin Yong

　　Quality: White

　　Description: Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique is the top protection technique within Mi Sect, split into a total of 13 layers. It has an extremely strong external palm attack, having the strength of 10 dragons and 10 elephants. Each attack has a force of 500 kilograms. But as this is Lama’s copy, it only records the first five layers.

　　Special effect: Hand copy (As a physical copy, it doesn’t have any notes or descriptions thus you are unable to gain additional cultivation buffs and also there wouldn’t be any risk of your cultivation going wrong).

　　Yi Qiu tried to open his inventory, 10 boxes opened at the bottom right of his retina. One of the boxes had the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique in it while another had a box-shaped thing. Yi Qiu was stunned, instantly recalling that it was the box that the Brown Tooth Boar had dropped.

　　Old Treasure Box from the Brown Tooth Boar:

　　Origin: Pumpkin field ravaged by wild boars (Simple difficulty)

　　Quality: White

　　Related phrase of the box: Boar

　　Description: From the acorn loved by the Brown Tooth Boar to Agamagan’s fang, all boar related items can be obtained from within… Of course, maybe you need a bit of luck, moreover, the quality of items will not exceed the quality of the box.

　　”Will you open this old treasure box which came from the Brown Tooth Boar?”

　　When Yi Qiu focused on the space with the old box, a selection panel appeared in his retina.

　　”…Why does this feel more and more like a game?”

　　Yi Qiu thought about it and didn’t choose to open it. He suddenly thought about the column in his stats that was called Bloodline Ability. From the description, there was a -2 to +2 fluctuation. Although luck couldn’t be seen on the interface, it wasn’t hard to predict using certain methods. He could use this Bloodline Ability to open the box. Although it couldn’t be considered totally overpowering, it was still semi-decent.

　　It was already late in the night and the adrenaline secreted from the life and death battle caused Yi Qiu to feel really tired. He closed his inventory, washed up and headed to bed.

　　…

　　A silent night.

　　Morning.

　　After a night of rest, Yi Qiu felt like he was filled with energy. As he had lost his parents when he was young, most of the elders of his family also died in that earthquake, his reliance on subsidies and help from distant relatives caused Yi Qiu to have a lack of nutrients. As such, his body was weak and he easily fell sick. Thus, Yi Qiu was used to sleeping and waking up early. Good living habits could make one healthy. After all, everyone was most afraid of falling sick in life.

　　Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique was already used by Yi Qiu. The process was very magical, like a computer that one used for a long time but had never known that it had an internet connection or a USB port. That was because, in the place where you lived, one didn’t need such things. One day a person from the outside brought a USB disc with 12GB of space and enlightened you that a computer could be used in such a way. He helped to open a new door to a new world.

　　It was true enlightenment. When the 5 layers of cultivation entered Yi Qiu’s mind using a method that he had never come across, some gene fragments that had already devolved started to move about, like people who couldn’t sit still and liked to fidget.

That was because the body felt like it needed the tail that humans had already given up to maintain balance, so it tried to activate the primitive gene of that tail which was now only a tailbone.

　　At this moment Yi Qiu’s brain received special stimulation. Taoists chased to be one with the heaven… What did that mean? Humans and nature had a natural connection, the appearance of spirituality. Simply put, humans used the messages of nature to adjust their own body’s frequency to resonate at the same level as nature.

　　So what was the key step in that exchange? It was that USB port and internet connection that you had never noticed! Yi Qiu noticed these two connection points as the high-level information was flowing into him.

　　If he wanted to cultivate, he had already completed a crucial step. Of course, not only did the Taoists have this. In Faerun Universe, it had a very famous name: Spiritual Energy!

　　Yi Qiu felt like a magical change occured in his mind but he didn’t awaken any weird ability. His stats were as per normal. Thus, he started to cultivate Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique.

　　Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique couldn’t be considered an advanced technique. The Item Exchange had many items related to human imagination and fantasies, be it Xiuhuan or Xuanhuan or legends, there were many more advanced techniques.

　　However, Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique had a pro which was that it didn’t have any requirements in terms of talent, body, comprehension, heart state, etc. It didn’t need any treasure to be cultivated in a special place, even spiritual energy, demonic energy, environmental restrictions, etc. As long as one could read diagrams and follow them, even if you were stupid you will still be able to cultivate it. Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique was an external technique, a strengthening of one’s body. It wouldn’t prevent one from cultivating any other techniques in the future.

　　Of course, the main value of it was that it was cheap.

　　…

　　Yi Qiu’s house was less than 30 square meters. It was quite big for one person but it was too small if one wanted to cultivate. However, fortunately, the North School District he stayed in was good and the nearby garden was huge too.

　　City C Normal University had its own sports facilities and normally all the students would train and exercise there in the morning. The park would be filled with nearby residents, as compared to its size there was only a small number of people.

　　City C was really quiet in the morning, the main reason was of course that it was a suburb. The main cafeteria in the north school region was gathered near the sports facilities, a place the students called the Backstreet. The Backstreet was a place where the most people gathered, various food stalls opened from 5 in the morning to 1 at night. A large portion of students loved to head over to get a variety of food.

　　Yi Qiu loved it too, this place had many of his life’s memories. However, as he wasn’t good with words and with there being too many people frequenting the shops, he was just a slightly familiar customer to the bosses here. This might have been related to his 9 points of Charm, after all, it was something that was really important in society.

　　”Two baskets of xiaolongbao, I will eat it here.”

　　There were many places with xiaolongbao but the ones here had become a bit of a specialty; it was said that Mango TV had reported on it before. It was said that many celebrities loved to eat the xiaolongbao here, it was probably a cultural export of the area? Yi Qiu often ate the xiaolongbao here, it wasn’t that its taste was much better than other places or one’s clothes would explode from how delicious it was, but because this place was clean.

　　Yi Qiu was a reckless person but no matter how reckless he was, in reality, this was nothing. Like how one could finish having hotpot and then consume delicious ice cream, however, one would definitely have a stomach ache after.
