Chapter 5

"Most important thing?" Qin Peng couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Yun Duankong, however, laughed and slowly said, "I know, for someone of your background, the most lacking thing is various resources!"

Qin Peng remained silent. Yun Duankong had stated an undeniable fact. Even if he had the top-tier cultivation method, without sufficient resources, he would have no chance of making a name for himself. However, Qin Peng was not anxious. He knew that since Yun Duankong had said this, he must have a solution.

Sure enough, Yun Duankong continued, "You are my disciple, and I will not treat you poorly. Unfortunately, I had quite a few potions that could help you enhance your strength, but many were destroyed on the way. Fortunately, I still have one last thing!"

At this point, Yun Duankong paused slightly, forming a strange seal with his hand. Then, Qin Peng saw a faint purple glow emanating from Yun Duankong's abdomen, and a purple pill appeared in his lower abdomen. With a casual grab, the purple pill immediately floated into his palm.

"What is this?" Qin Peng looked at the scene before him, somewhat stunned.

Yun Duankong slowly said, "This is the essence I have condensed from my lifetime of cultivation..."

As he said this, Yun Duankong seemed to lose all his strength, and his hand suddenly pressed onto Qin Peng's lower abdomen. Immediately, the purple pill merged into his dantian, and a surge of power spread out from the pill. Qin Peng immediately felt his body being nourished by the pill, and his muscles were filled with strength.

"This essence can slowly nourish your body over a long period. As you cultivate, you can continuously draw strength from it, which is more effective than any heavenly treasure!" After injecting the essence into Qin Peng's body, Yun Duankong looked as if he had aged several decades, his hair turning slightly gray.

"Master!" Although they had only been in contact for a few minutes, Qin Peng couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.

"No need to be sad!" Yun Duankong laughed and said, "Who in this world can escape death? Being able to live in this great era is already a blessing from heaven. Qin Peng, I still have some things to tell you, so listen carefully!"

Qin Peng immediately nodded, "Master, please speak!"

Yun Duankong took a deep breath and continued, "I have quite a bit of assets, and all the information is stored in the optical brain. However, you must not touch or move anything. Although I am strong, I have many enemies. If you act rashly, you will leave traces, and someone will surely take action against you, creating unnecessary trouble. Remember, if your martial power has not reached 1000, do not tell anyone that you are my disciple, understand?"

Qin Peng, being a quick thinker, understood the principle that a person without fault can still be accused if they possess something valuable. If it were known that he was Yun Duankong's disciple and lacked the ability to protect himself, they wouldn't care if Yun Duankong was a hero of humanity. They would first think of capturing and controlling him, then taking Yun Duankong's optical brain and searching for its secrets. Some might even extract the essence from his body, and the more ruthless ones might kill him outright.

Thinking of this, Qin Peng solemnly said, "Master, rest assured, I will remember this!"

Yun Duankong laughed, but his complexion worsened, and he took another deep breath. His gaze fell on Qin Peng's chest, near his heart, and he slowly said, "There is one more thing!"

"Master, please speak!"

Yun Duankong slightly propped himself up and said, "Remember, you are human!"

He did not reveal the secret of the Xian race cells, and it was better for Qin Peng not to know. If he did, it might not be a good thing.

Qin Peng was somewhat dazed and had not yet understood the meaning behind Yun Duankong's words when he saw a fierce flame burst forth from Yun Duankong's body. In the blink of an eye, he was enveloped in the flames. When Qin Peng came to his senses, Yun Duankong had already turned to ashes.

"Master? Master?" Qin Peng's throat moved slightly, feeling that everything he had experienced tonight was as unbelievable as a dream. However, he quickly realized that he shouldn't stay here for long.

Swish!

Qin Peng took a step and rushed home. Soon, he noticed something was different about himself. His speed had increased, and with each run, the essence Yun Duankong had stored in his body gradually released, merging with his flesh and bones, making his body stronger.

What surprised Qin Peng was that his heart was also absorbing this energy. He felt a strange sensation, as if his heart was changing from the inside, and each heartbeat felt like a new beginning.

However, Qin Peng couldn't focus on this for long. He excitedly returned home, where his parents had not yet returned. He took a deep breath and quickly returned to his room.

Qin Peng increasingly felt how solid his muscles were, and he sensed that his strength had significantly increased since he left.

"There's no martial power testing device here, so I don't know what my current martial power is!" Qin Peng frowned slightly.

"Right!" Qin Peng slapped his forehead and said in a low voice, "Optical brain, immediately scan my body and determine my current martial power!"

The biological optical brain should have this function.

"Beep!"

A faint sound echoed in his mind, and Qin Peng felt his body being scanned. Then, a piece of information automatically appeared in his mind.

Martial power rating: 0.55

Qin Peng was elated, "0.55, already? It's so fast! They say you need to master qi to reach 0.5, but why have I already reached 0.55 without being able to control qi?!"

However, after a moment's thought, Qin Peng understood. This was probably due to Yun Duankong storing the essence in his body, which significantly enhanced his physical attributes. Although he hadn't mastered qi, his strength had increased.

This wasn't impossible. Wealthy people often take various heavenly treasures before their children are born, and when they are born, their martial power can reach 1. For some supreme experts like Yun Duankong, even if they don't take any heavenly treasures, their offspring can still have formidable combat abilities.

However, what Qin Peng didn't expect was that Yun Duankong not only significantly enhanced his physical attributes by storing the essence in his body but also used extremely valuable potions to heal him after his bones were shattered and he was severely injured. These potions were healing elixirs for supreme experts but the best strengthening potions for someone of Qin Peng's strength.

Of course, the most important point was that the Xian race cells, which Yun Duankong had obtained with great effort, were absorbed by Qin Peng for some reason. These cells were already changing Qin Peng's genes from the inside, and in terms of life form, Qin Peng had undergone a tremendous transformation.

Reaching 0.55 in one go was just the beginning. In the coming period, Qin Peng's strength would increase even more.

Taking another deep breath, Qin Peng sat cross-legged on the bed, slowly calming his excitement, and gradually slowing his breathing, entering a meditative state.

Inhale! Exhale!

With each breath, Qin Peng gradually felt the surging power in his blood and qi, which was at least ten times stronger than what he had felt before.

Suddenly, Qin Peng opened his eyes.

Ha!

A simple and direct punch was thrown, and the fist immediately produced a sharp whistling sound, a fierce breaking of the air. Qin Peng clearly felt the surging power in his blood and qi, which, under his mental control, burst out from his fist.

"Martial power: 0.76"

The optical brain transmitted a cold piece of information.

The martial power had already reached 0.76?

Qin Peng couldn't help but be secretly shocked. Typically, someone with a martial power of 0.4, when they master qi, can instantly release a force of 0.5, with an increase of about 0.1. This increase doesn't change much, but it varies from person to person. Now, Qin Peng's increase in strength was at least 0.21, which was twice the normal level.

"Is it because my blood and qi are too vigorous, or because of the essence Master gave me?" Qin Peng judged in his heart.

However, no matter what, I can now control qi!

A hint of excitement appeared on Qin Peng's face, "Now, I don't have to worry about being expelled from school. I will definitely make a name for myself!"

Qin Peng couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling that his future was full of possibilities.

He yearned for strength!

(New book, I humbly request some collections and recommendations from all new and old friends. The author is very sad about the closure of the previous book.
