Chapter 256

Lu Ziqiao solemnly said: "That's right! After yesterday's banquet, I feel full of energy, like I have endless strength. Doesn't the chat group have plenty of extraordinary things to exchange for?"

He shifted tone, grinning mischievously, "Yifei, check if the chat group has any kind of pill—you know the one!"

"I want one too!" Ceng Xiaoxian immediately jumped up. Sensing everyone's eyes on him, he awkwardly laughed, "I have a friend—you get it?"

Chen Meijia suddenly understood: "Oh, imaginary friend!"

Lu Zhanbo: "Isn't that friend you yourself?"

Ceng Xiaoxian froze solid.

Hu Yifei slammed the table and cleared her throat: "What are you all thinking about?"

"The chat group really does have transcendent items—like elixirs of immortality, divine arts, cultivation techniques."

"I want to cultivate!"

"I want the elixir of immortality!"

Hu Yifei sighed: "Then don't even think about it. The most basic elixir of immortality costs 100,000 points; the kind that awakens divine abilities costs 150,000. When do you think you'll ever get that from signing in?"

Ceng Xiaoxian: "..."

Lin Wanyu pulled out her phone and calculated: "According to Feifei, the max daily points are five. Even if you got them every day, it'd take over fifty years to reach 100,000 points!"

Lu Ziqiao groaned: "In fifty years, I'll be nothing but ash!"

Lu Zhanbo: "This elixir of immortality is too hard to wait for. Isn't there any shortcut?"

"Exactly! There must be a way to earn points!" Ceng Xiaoxian's eyes lit up. "Hu Yifei, log in and ask right away—our happiness depends on you!"

"Don't count on it," Hu Yifei sighed. "One hundred thousand points is a huge sum!"

Still, she opened the chat group.

Hu Yifei: "By the way, is there any good way to earn points? I want to buy a transcendent technique, but it seems I'll have to save for ages!"

Su Xiao: "Actually, there isn't. Before, you could buy a Water-Repelling Pearl, dive into the sea to salvage shipwrecks, exchange the treasure for gold, then convert gold into points. Now the group has shut down that function—you're stuck with signing in."

Miyamura Miko: "No, there's another technique: take a loan to buy a Cave Heaven and grow spirit herbs."

Amane Tenshi: "But doesn't cultivating spirit herbs require a cultivation base? Miss Hu doesn't have any—she can't even open a Cave Heaven, let alone use one."

Kaguya Shimehama: "How about this—I lend you a thousand points, and you pay me back later?"

Hu Yifei: "Borrow?"

Ye Hei: "Oh, Shimehama, so thoughtful—you're already thinking of your husband. @Hu Yifei, borrowing points is fine; Shimehama won't charge you interest."

Ye Hei: "Here's the deal… So if you learn the Immortal Martial Dao, the Dao Lord benefits too. That's why Shimehama is stepping in on the Dao Lord's behalf to make this happen."

Hu Yifei: "I see!"

Kaguya Shimehama: "Exactly. My husband is currently traveling and enjoying the scenery, so I'm handling this. 【Red Packet】 You may freely transmit this technique—especially to your friends. They just attended the banquet, right? The fruits there were extraordinary. Their bodies still hold vast energy; if they cultivate, they'll advance quickly."

【Ding, Hu Yifei claimed the red packet.】

Hu Yifei: "Thank you. When I earn points, I'll repay Miss Shimehama immediately."

Kaguya Shimehama: "No rush."

After claiming the points, Hu Yifei opened the chat group and carefully selected.

Moments passed.

Hu Yifei chose the Dragon God Technique.

Though not as brutally offensive as other techniques, the Dragon God Technique allows flight, combat, and speed—making it the most practical in a modern city.

She bought only one and a half scrolls, spending a few hundred points.

Then she selected two Hundred Herb Jin Dan pills, spending the rest of her points.

The moment she acquired the technique, a flood of information appeared in her mind.

The information was extremely clear and concise—Hu Yifei understood it instantly, and she sighed in relief: "Good, it's not one of those obscure, cryptic techniques."

She logged out.

She returned to reality.

"How was it?"

Seeing her come back to herself, everyone asked.

Hu Yifei held up the pills and said: "I borrowed a thousand points—I'll repay them later. Now, I'm going to cultivate. If I succeed, you'll all get cultivation resources too."

"If you succeed, we get resources? What's the logic behind that?" Lin Wanyu asked, puzzled.

"Here's how it works," Hu Yifei explained everything in full detail.

Ceng Xiaoxian: "Our bodies still have energy? Wow, so all that energy's just leaking away slowly—what a waste!"

He looked at Hu Yifei.

"Don't rush. It won't happen that fast. Once I reach True Qi Realm, I'll transmit the technique to you by mind-to-mind. The technique is the Dragon God Technique!"

Lu Ziqiao cheered: "Dragon God Technique! Waka-kaka! Does that mean we can turn into dragons too?"

"Don't draw attention," Hu Yifei warned. "I don't want my normal life turning into a city monster-hunting drama."

"Relax, don't you trust me, Lu Xiaobu?"

Hearing that, Hu Yifei grew even more worried.

Ignoring them all, she began cultivating right there in the living room.

With the Hundred Herb Jin Dan pills and the vast energy she'd accumulated from attending the banquet, her Body Tempering Stage Ten rapidly reached perfection.

Then came the True Qi Realm.

In moments, Hu Yifei's aura became terrifyingly potent.

【Ding, Hu Yifei broke through to True Qi Realm, attracting Heaven and Earth's attention, boosting her destiny, becoming a Destiny-Selected One.】

【Ding, the Profound Heaven Immortal Martial Dao has gained this world's favor, receiving a sliver of the world's primordial essence as a gift.】

She was jolted awake by the chat group's notification.

Looking at the information and sensing her own state, she indeed found her mind much sharper.

"Looks like the people in the group didn't lie to me," Hu Yifei muttered to herself. "I've become a destiny-chosen one too."

She opened the chat group.

Hu Yifei: "I've succeeded in cultivating!"

Zhang Taixuan: "I saw it. Teacher Hu, you're truly decisive. 【Red Packet】 I've completed the true qi cultivation technique you bought. Also, I've given you a few Hundred Herb Jin Dan—they should be more than enough for your cultivation in Love Apartment."

Hu Yifei: "The Dao Lord actually logged in?!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Strange? I'm very idle here. 【Video】 Watching fireworks in Inazuma, enjoying the scenery!"

Yuki Yukinoshita: "Wow, so beautiful—is this Inazuma?"

Kasuga Uta: "Miss Kage looks clueless, yet she's actually quite good at it!"

Raiden Shogun: "【Cat Shock】 What exactly do you all think of me?"

Butterfly Kanako: "Warrior? 【Sneaky Laugh】"

Su Xiao: "Kitchen Killer!"

Raiden Shogun: "……【Thoughtless Slash!】"

Zhang Taixuan: "By the way, if you enlighten a few more beast spirits, I'll pay off Kanako's thousand points—our accounts will be settled."

Butterfly Kanako: "Husband, you're talking nonsense again. I don't want you to repay my points!"

Xiao Mai: "Hehe, Brother Taixuan doesn't understand human hearts. Family shouldn't speak like strangers."

Hu Yifei: "I understand. Thank you, Dao Lord, for your generosity."
