26 – Three Newcomers Join the Group

In the early morning, Wang Ping and Chi Feng arrived at the training ground together.

Wang Ping’s cultivation level shocked Chi Hu immensely.

Just like in the simulation, the entire Chi Village was in an uproar because of this. The Village Chief was both astonished and delighted, repeatedly praising him.

Next, as in the simulation, Wang Ping followed the Village Chief and the others to hunt demonic beasts.

The process of hunting the Gale Leopard and picking the Vitality Grass went smoothly without any unexpected events.

They triumphantly returned to the village.

As the simulation had shown many times, the Village Chief handed a Vitality Grass to Wang Ping and said: “Wang Ping, take this Vitality Grass.”

“Village Chief, please plant both Vitality Grass plants in the village first. I have a natural talent for alchemy, and perhaps in the future, I can use these two Vitality Grass plants to refine medicine.”

Wang Ping shook his head as he spoke.

“You can refine pills?”

This statement made the Village Chief very surprised.

“Not yet, but I will soon.” Wang Ping smiled confidently. “I wonder if there are any alchemy recipes in the village.”

“There are, but are you sure you want to refine pills? This is very time-consuming and exhausting, it may delay your cultivation.” The Village Chief frowned in concern.

“Village Chief, please trust me.” Wang Ping smiled: “Moreover, my physique is very special, right now I don’t need to cultivate seriously. I just need to consume spiritual stones to enhance my cultivation.”

“That’s true.” On hearing this, the Village Chief nodded in agreement.

There are countless special physiques in the world, and he knew of some that could improve cultivation by consuming spiritual stones. But the kind of special physique he knew couldn’t enhance cultivation as dominantly as Wang Ping’s, which could make his cultivation soar so rapidly.

After all, even if one could improve cultivation by consuming spiritual stones, it should be a gradual process.

For Wang Ping to leap from the peak of the Skin Refining Realm to the peak of the tenth level of the Acquired Realm in such a short time was simply unheard of.

“I’ll give you the alchemy recipes later. If you need any herbs, I’ll have Huzi and the others gather them for you.” The Village Chief nodded and said.

“By the way, you must have used up your spiritual stones, right? I still have three hundred left here, you can use them.”

After a moment’s pause, the Village Chief spoke again.

“Thank you, Village Chief.” Wang Ping did not refuse, smiling in thanks.

The Village Chief was really kind to him, which made Wang Ping even more determined to save the people of Chi Village.

“No need to thank me. The stronger you become, the safer we will be.” The Village Chief sighed: “Sadly, these are all the spiritual stones we have. Chi Village has some hidden troubles. If we exchange too many spiritual stones outside, it will attract attention and become very dangerous.”

“Village Chief, why does Chi Village seclude itself in the Black Wind Forest? Do you have any enemies?”

Wang Ping asked pretending to be puzzled.

“Indeed, we have enemies.” The Village Chief hesitated.

“I swear to the heavens, if I grow strong, I will do everything in my power to protect Chi Village. Can the Village Chief tell me the hidden troubles?” Wang Ping said seriously.

Seeing Wang Ping swear to the heavens suddenly, the Village Chief was stunned.

Then, he smiled with relief.

In this world, the Heavenly Dao really exists.

When a warrior swears to the heavens, if they break it, the consequences are very serious. Although not everyone will be struck by lightning, it can easily give rise to inner demons, leading to qi deviation and death.

Wang Ping’s oath to the heavens and his words relieved the Village Chief, making him feel he had not judged Wang Ping wrongly.

“The Chi family was once one of the two major families in White Moon City, with many Innate Realm experts in the clan. However, the patriarch of the Li family, our rival in White Moon City, suddenly broke through to the Spirit Origin Realm, resulting in the Chi family being annihilated.”

“In the end, to avoid the Li family’s pursuit, I had to lead the remaining clansmen deep into the Black Wind Forest. By relying on some secret family techniques, no demonic beasts approach the surrounding area. Additionally, because this is the deeper part of the Black Wind Forest, ordinary Innate Realm warriors can’t venture in. Thus, we’re relatively safe here.”
The Village Chief spoke full of hatred.

“Village Chief, isn’t there a deeper reason?” Wang Ping couldn’t help but ask.

If it were just this, he already knew it from the simulation.

He really wanted to know why the Jianling Sect also targeted the people of Chi Village.

“A deeper reason?” The Village Chief frowned. “The Li family exterminated the Chi family simply because we are enemies. By destroying us, they can unify White Moon City and monopolize all the business.”

“Alright.” Wang Ping sighed, knowing it was not appropriate to ask further.

If he asked why the Chi family members can’t break through to the Spirit Origin Realm or why the Sect Master of Jianling Sect also harbored malice towards the Chi family members, the Village Chief would surely suspect him.

At that point, something very bad might happen.

Therefore, he could only stop there.

It seemed that to understand the entire story, he would have to explore it himself within the simulation.

Subsequently, the Village Chief took out the pill recipe and handed it to Wang Ping.

In addition, he also gave Wang Ping the remaining three hundred spirit stones.

For this, Wang Ping thanked him again and then went back to his room to start a new simulation.

However, just at this moment, a new group notification popped up, making Wang Ping slightly startled.

“Ding, group member Li Ping (73) has died. Death replay has been recorded. Everyone should take heed.”

“What’s going on? How did Li Ping (73) suddenly appear as a group member? Clearly, the latest member to join was Zhang Jun, his group sequence number is 70,” Wang Ping was a bit puzzled and quickly opened the chat group.

Then, he discovered that three new members had joined the group today.

They were: Female member Chen Yao (71), Male member Zhang Tao (72), Male member Li Ping (73).

The reason for no joining notifications was likely because the chat group determined he was in a dangerous environment, so it selectively hid the group announcements.

I have to say, it’s quite user-friendly.

If it didn’t have this feature and a group announcement popped up during a life-and-death battle, it could very well cost him his life.

Or if a message popped up during his cultivation, it might cause him to have a Qi deviation.

“All three newcomers were quite lucky at the start.”

After reading the chat log, Wang Ping’s expression turned odd.

The initial encounter kill rate of the Transverser Chat Group is one of the highest factors.

These three newcomers all luckily avoided the initial kill, and the starting points of their transmigrations were pretty good.

Chen Yao translocated to a place that seemed to be a modern society like Wu Jun’s.

But her golden finger was much better than Wu Jun’s, it was an upgrade system.

Although it had many restrictions, it could still be considered a cheat system.

Of course, transmigrating to modern society somewhat limited the potential of this golden finger.
