Is it you?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man with thick eyebrows scrutinized for a while before recognizing Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After becoming a martial artist, Jiang Ming’s figure transformed from thin and frail to tall and adept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the young man named Qian had spent some time with Jiang Ming before, he couldn’t recognize him immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young man was named Qian Changgong, the grandson of Elder Qian from Lion Roar Martial Arts Hall. Last year, it was Qian Changming who led a team to Jiang Family Village, and thus, the two were considered acquaintances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the next second, a punch pierced through the air, heading straight for Jiang Ming’s front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming took a step back and caught the punch with his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slight blast of Qi and a muffled sound dispersed from their point of contact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re not Jiang Ming! Jiang Ming doesn’t possess such Qi-Blood. Who exactly are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong’s face was filled with vigilance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming’s face remained as expected, for the Qi-Blood on his body could not be concealed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming immediately took out the wooden tokens that proved his identity from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One from Jiang Family Village and the other from Evergreen City, obtained earlier that morning from the City Lord’s Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Qian, wait a moment, I truly am Jiang Ming.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming handed over the tokens and recounted some previous details between Jiang Family Village and Lion Roar Martial Arts Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vigilance in Qian Changgong’s eyes began to dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are uncle and aunt? How come they didn’t come?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Qian, my mother passed away five years ago, and as for my father... the entire village is gone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong was dumbfounded. He was probing, but he never expected such an answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have nowhere to go. In Evergreen City, I have no acquaintances, and thankfully, I had some fortunate encounters previously and practiced martial arts, so I thought of coming to Lion Roar Martial Arts Hall...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong frowned and then relaxed, \"Jiang Family Village had a deity-venerable guardian...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When even deities are unable to protect their followers, it must be a great evil. Qian Changgong was shocked but believed Jiang Ming’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because even the forces targeting Lion Roar Martial Arts Hall would not have the ability to massacre the deity’s followers right under its nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong displayed an apologetic expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Jiang, I offended you, please forgive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About Jiang Family Village... my condolences...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing. If I were Brother Qian, I would react the same, but Brother Qian... I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong’s face showed hesitation, and he finally patted Jiang Ming on the shoulder and said, \"I’ll ask Grandpa for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong then led Jiang Ming to the back of the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, a few disciples wearing uniform gray-white outfits greeted Qian Changgong, calling him Senior Brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked curiously at Jiang Ming, wary as their Senior Brother said no more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two quickly arrived outside a small courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait here for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong knocked lightly on the door and entered the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief period, Qian Changgong exited and said to Jiang Ming, \"Grandpa is willing to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming followed Qian Changgong into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting at the center was an old man with gray clothes and long hair, half of his face obscured by long gray-white eyebrows, making it hard to see the glint in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sat on a stone chair, an unfinished board game laid out in front, seemingly playing chess alone and pondering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qian’s gaze slowly shifted from the chessboard to Jiang Ming behind Qian Changgong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Ming?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was gentle and without hostility, yet Jiang Ming only felt as though he was completely seen through.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is... an Innate Martial Artist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, this realm has no Innate Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The life level of an Innate Martial Artist is half a step above ordinary people, akin to the instinctual fear a person feels when encountering a ferocious beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An Acquired Martial Artist experiences a similar sense of oppression when meeting an Innate Martial Artist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this realm, there is no concept of Innate Martial Artists, which means that martial artists at the Martial Arts Hall Master Level are of the same rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... can solely relying on Qi-Blood allow one to break through to Innate?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Jiang Ming isn’t a Martial Arts Grandmaster like Li Jin, he spent two lifetimes alongside Li Jin and naturally has some understanding of martial arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming suddenly became somewhat interested in the Qi Blood Martial Arts of this realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong was about to say something when Mr. Qian signaled with his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ming stepped forward and gave a junior’s salute to Mr. Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then explained the origin of his Qi-Blood, attributing it to the old tale of a mysterious encounter with a predecessor and miraculous consuming of a Spirit Fruit, resulting in his current cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Changgong took the opportunity to add, \"Grandpa, Jiang Family Village... is gone, Brother Jiang has nowhere to go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Family Village... In these troubled times, even spirit monsters and deities don’t have good days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qian suddenly moved, like a ghost, appearing in front of Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the next instant, Jiang Ming felt his wrist being grasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tingling sensation spread from his wrist throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? Not bad aptitude... yet this Qi-Blood...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not cultivated from any Martial Arts Hall cultivation technique in Evergreen City... not even a trace of it; none of the surrounding cities have Qi-Blood like this, quite unique...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qian stood in front of Jiang Ming, holding Jiang Ming’s wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hand caressing the gray-white beard hanging from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Jiang Ming felt as if he had lost control of his whole body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, demonstrate your boxing technique on the spot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Mr. Qian’s instructions, Jiang Ming began practicing the Red Gold Flame-breaking Palm on-site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Basic skills are good. I see your Qi-Blood is at the level of a Martial Arts Instructor, so you needn’t practice alongside the disciples. Instead, start as a basic skills instructor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qian suddenly released Jiang Ming, nodding in approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jiang Ming, right? Good aptitude, practice diligently; in the future, you may yet avenge your family.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Changgong, make the arrangements.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qian instructed and then walked into the main hall, indicating his agreement for Jiang Ming to join Lion Roar Martial Arts Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Qian Changgong felt pleased for Jiang Ming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations, Brother Jiang.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Mr. Qian’s figure, Jiang Ming slightly raised an eyebrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was much simpler than he had imagined. He had even devised several plausible explanations and carried a ginseng root from a thousand-year-old ginseng in his pocket, intending to use it to trade for an opportunity to work at the Martial Arts Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Mr. Qian didn’t seem to care about his past experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...............\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No lights were lit inside the main hall, only the faint light from outside reaching into the depths of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vaguely revealing a rear silhouette, facing something unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silhouette stood rigid like a sculpture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until knocking came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Changgong, go and check on Jiang Family Village; if there’s no issue, it’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The footsteps outside faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence enveloped the house until much later, when self-talk eerily echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good aptitude... Qi-Blood is also fine... indeed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1241,"2026-06-03T11:55:46.476Z","2026-06-03T11:55:52.287Z",1,"novelbin.me","6d7090ec904e0ce9154148522e35ec3cb97d77e60deafbe9442058f29eee86be","with-cultivation-simulator-in-a-chaotic-world-chapter-21","with-cultivation-simulator-in-a-chaotic-world-chapter-19",535,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwith-cultivation-simulator-in-a-chaotic-world-cover.jpg"]
