Chapter 631: Chapter 630: A Watch

“This is a Lifespan Extension Pill. It can extend your life by a hundred years. But how long you can really live, it’s up to your destiny.”

“The method of Foundation Establishment isn’t just about taking a pill, but if I were to teach you the real method, it could attract unwanted attention.”

As Bai Hongtu spoke, a few kinds of Spirit Grass flew out of his Storage Ring, gathered in his palm, melted into a liquid and solidified into pill form.

“Making a Foundation Establishment Pill involves just a few things, and it can be created even without referring to the prescription.”

“This is what they referred to as a Foundation Establishment Pill. Although I don’t particularly like it, it’s the most appropriate for you.”

Chu Le, Uncle Chu, lifted both hands overhead to receive the Lifespan Extension Pill and the Foundation Establishment Pill. Seeing this, Bai Hongtu was annoyed and forced his hands back down, saying, “Your character really isn’t suitable for staying in the Dragon Transformation Sect. This time could be a good opportunity for you to stay here as a free and easy Loose Cultivator.”

Jiang Li and Yu Yin also felt annoyed and restless.

They weren’t annoyed at Uncle Chu, but rather the sight of refugees, the sight of Feng Qiang, and the thought of how many similar scenarios were playing out across the eight wilderness worlds.

Feng Qiang’s master glanced at his wristwatch and laughed, “It’s getting late. Since my dojo doesn’t have much food to offer, I’ll play host, and treat the three of you to a meal at the Xi Bin Lou. As way of thanking you.”

“The thing you’re wearing on your hand, is it… a wristwatch?” Jiang Li noticed the object on Feng Qiang’s master’s wrist, which looked out of place in the surrounding environment.

“You three also know of this? My younger brother gave it to me when he last visited home. It’s truly remarkable, serves the same purpose as a sundial; it’s portable and keeps accurate time. I’ve tried to dismantle it and investigate many times, but my brother stopped me every time, afraid that I wouldn’t be able to fix it after.”

Feng Qiang’s master took off the wristwatch: “Seeing how the three of you have taken an interest in it, please take it as a gift.”

Jiang Li accepted and studied the wristwatch closely and drew a conclusion.

“A mechanical wristwatch, manually wound. As long as it’s not broken, it can be used indefinitely.”

“Where did you get this from?” Jiang Li asked Uncle Chu, his curiosity piqued at the strange symbols on the back of the wristwatch. They weren’t in the language of the eight wilderness worlds, which implied that the wristwatch didn’t originate from there.

“I saw a servant boy being kicked and beaten by others at the Dragon Transformation Sect. I couldn’t stand it, so I stepped in and saved him. In gratitude, he gifted me this fascinating object called a wristwatch, which I later gave to my elder brother.”

“Did the servant boy tell you about his background?”

“Yes, he mentioned his name was Qiu Langsha, he was a singer but then suddenly, one day, there were earthquakes and buildings collapsed. He had no idea what was happening, only that the news mentioned the nation deploying weapons called ‘airplanes,’ ‘tanks,’ ‘missiles,’ and ‘nuclear bombs’. I didn’t quite understand what these weapons were.”

“After that, he was somehow transported to the Dragon Transformation Sect and ended as a servant boy.”

“At first, he had a hard time speaking, like he was just learning how to speak, but it’s better now, he can speak fluently.”

“When he first arrived, he was a bit crazy. He said that although the language barrier exists, he believed that music could bridge it as all hearts resonates the same. He sang a bunch of unintelligable songs, claimed it was a song of peace, had no effect though. The other servant boys found him annoying and beat him up again.”

“After that, he became more docile.”

Neither Jiang Li nor his two companions said anything, finally it was Jiang Li who broke the silence: “Let’s go to the Dragon Transformation Sect.”

Feng Qiang’s master originally wanted to suggest eating first before leaving, but seeing their stern expressions made him uneasy, and in the end, he didn’t utter a word to stop them.

“Uncle Chu, what, what are their levels of cultivation? Are they at the Foundation Establishment Stage?”

Uncle Chu remained silent for a long time, he thought about their dialogues, and how their words revealed frightening informations, he slowly spoke with seriousness, “Perhaps, they truly are at the Transcendence Tribulation Stage.”

Feng Qiang and his master were both shocked, “What?! They are wilderness masters?”

Uncle Chu didn’t say anything more.

These three may have appeared unsophisticated, but their every word and every action revealed a worldly air that no normal person could possess.

Before he descended the mountain, he’d heard that both the Star Lord and the Terretorial Lords were selecting cultivators to represent the world in battle against another world. Perhaps these three were the powerful cultivators of that other world.

Uncle Chu didn’t voice out his guesses, he believed that the fewer people who knew about this, the better.

“Perhaps, can this world really change?” Uncle Chu thought to himself and soon shook his head, deeming it impossible.

…

The Dragon Transformation Sect was located in the area on this planet with the most dense Spiritual Energy; amongst a group of mountains, it spanned a radius of a hundred miles, where no mortal was allowed to enter.

The trio found Qiu Langsha working in the fields when they arrived.

Under the scorching sun, wearing a straw hat and labouring with a hoe, his head was bowed in the field.

According to Uncle Chu, Qiu Langsha was responsible for planting Spirit Millet for the Outer Sect Disciples of the Dragon Transformation Sect.

“Qiu Langsha?”

Upon hearing his name, Qiu Langsha looked up and saw the three descending from the sky. Realizing these were revered figures, he was struck by fear and quickly put on a forced smile and rushed over to greet them.

Those who could levitate, were, no doubt, respected individuals equivalent to Inner Sect Elders.

He didn’t know why such revered figures would seek him out. Based on his experience, it was unlikely to be good news.

“May I know what the three elders need of me?”

“Don’t be nervous, we are from Chu….” Jiang Li was about to introduce themselves as sent by Uncle Chu, only realizing that he didn’t know Uncle Chu’s real name.

Jiang Li had no choice but to simply describe Uncle Chu’s appearance.

Qiu Langsha immediately understood, “You are talking about Chu Le.”

But he was confused about how Chu Le would know such esteemed individuals.

However, he felt reassured that these seniors had benevolent intentions, because otherwise, they wouldn’t be trying to establish good relations with him through Chu Le.

Qiu Langsha rushed to usher the three of them into his thatched cottage. He wanted to pour them some water, but realized he didn’t even have three cups.

Qiu Langsha hastily apologized, “It’s a bit crude here. Please excuse me.”

He took off his hat, revealing his brown hair, which was slightly curly.

“You are in charge of planting Spirit Millet, so you should have access to it. With a spiritual root of four attributes, why are you only at the second layer of Qi Cultivation?” asked Bai Hongtu, puzzled.

Upon hearing this, Qiu Langsha was so frightened that he immediately knelt and kowtowed for mercy.

“The three elders are wise, I really eat only ordinary grains! I didn’t steal any Spirit Millet. All the Spirit Millet have been sent to the Outer Sect Seniors!”

His answer was beside the point, but the three understood what Qiu Langsha meant.

Jiang Li also noticed that Qiu Langsha’s cultivation technique was severely incomplete and difficult to practice. Coupled with his daily farming duties that left him no time for cultivation, remaining at the second level of Qi Cultivation was not surprising.

Jiang Li didn’t dwell on that point and instead asked, “We heard from Chu Le that you came from another planet. Can you tell us more about how it happened?”

When this topic came up, Qiu Langsha’s smile faded and his ego deflated significantly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was clear that this was not a pleasant topic for him.

However, given that these were questions from the three elders, he could only suppress his grief and recount his past, “This happened ten years ago, I was once a prominent singer…”
