I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 139: The Recent Situation of an Old Friend, Qin Xue's Loss
After replying to the messages from several college buddies, he asked Captain Zhang about the situation of Qin Shuai and his sister.

Since neither of them had a mobile phone, they had borrowed Captain Zhang's phone to call him before, and they could not be contacted directly at this moment.

Captain Zhang told me that Qin Shuai was doing well, his work was on track, and he could fully support his sister's education.

As for Qin Xue's condition, it was a bit strange. According to Qin Shuai, every time he came back, he found his sister alone in the room, and he didn't know what she was doing.

Perhaps it was because it was approaching the third year of junior high school, and the pressure was increased due to what happened some time ago, so Qin Shuai didn't pay much attention to it and just mentioned it.

When Captain Zhang heard Xia Yuan ask this, he remembered this little matter.

Xia Yuan sighed. He knew what the girl was doing without thinking. She must have spent all her time except studying on practicing.

But it was all in vain.

Without source energy, no matter how long you practice, there will be no effect.

I thought that after so long, the little girl would have given up, but I didn't expect her to still persist.

Anyone who practices for three or four months without any reaction should know that it is impossible to practice, right?
I don't know whether to call her stupid or persistent.

The brother and sister are living a good life now. Her academic performance is also very good. She will definitely be able to go to a good university in the future.

Especially after going through the hardships of life, her willpower has become even stronger.

In this case, the future does not need to be changed through cultivation. A bright future can be achieved through one's own efforts alone. There is no need to waste energy on such things.

Just as Qingyue said, it is not easy to seek immortals and ask for the Tao.

Embarking on the path of cultivation may not be a good thing for either her or Qin Shuai.

Others don’t have attribute panels and cannot cheat like me. The death rate after practicing is too high.

The mortality rate is as high as 90% just for awakening. Isn't this difficulty more than a hundred times more exaggerated than what is described in novels about cultivating immortals?
Yes, the so-called cultivation of immortals has very high threshold requirements.

It is true that everyone can practice the awakening method, but everything in the world has its limits. The lack of a threshold does not mean that everyone can embark on the path of practice.

I have only heard that there are bottlenecks in cultivating immortals and that there are various requirements for understanding, but I have never heard that there is such a high risk of death during the practice.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about Xia Yuan himself, after having the attribute panel, he does not need to worry about the operation of the exercises during the practice process.

But even so, when he awakened, the panel reminded him that there was a certain risk of death.

Although it was finally discovered that the risk of death was not high.

In a situation where you don't have to consider anything, as long as you don't lose your mind due to the pain, then it can be said that there is no danger.

If this situation can still happen in the presence of an innate body, it can only be said that he is not worthy of practicing.

But the situation for others is completely different. Not only do they need to stay conscious, they also need to keep their skills running smoothly.

In this case, the difficulty is not on the same level.

Even if it was only less than a minute, Xia Yuan was not sure how many people could survive.

The pain of having your body reconstructed from the inside out is simply unimaginable to those who have not experienced it.

The awakening stage is like a pawn crossing a river. You either win the game or die. There is no other choice.

If there are a hundred people practicing, fifty of them can reach the innate level if they are lucky, but it is hard to say whether any of the remaining fifty can awaken.

It is much more difficult for humans to break free from the shackles than we imagine.

Do you really think that the path of cultivation with no threshold will be so simple?
Not to mention that this awakening is just the starting point, or to exaggerate a little, it is not even the starting point.

As long as you don't return to unity, you are still within the range of ordinary people. The biggest benefit is that you have a few more lives.

Only when it returns to oneness does it truly possess the characteristics of a mythical life.

Perhaps at this moment I can really say that my destiny is in my own hands.

Just thinking about returning to oneness, how difficult is that?

Even though Xia Yuan only took half a year to reach the state of returning to unity, that was cheating, that was a special case, and it has absolutely no reference value.

If everything goes well and there is enough source energy, it will take at least one year to reach the innate state.

Remember, this is assuming everything goes well. If not, it may take three to four years, or even seven to eight years. It may even fail halfway.

After reaching the innate state, one cannot awaken immediately.
You need to first familiarize yourself with your own strength and replenish your Qi and blood until you reach the peak before you can prepare to awaken. This process will take at least several months.

The next most important thing is the source of energy. If there is insufficient energy during awakening, there is no chance of survival.

Thinking back to when Xia Yuan awakened, it took him three source points. If it were someone else, thirty source crystals would definitely not be enough. They would need at least thirty-five.

At this point, if your will is strong enough, you can awaken successfully.

So the question is, how should we practice in the future?
He currently has no cultivation method after awakening, and there is no movement on the panel. Who knows whether he will be given subsequent cultivation methods after reaching the third level of Transcendental Transmigration.

If not, we can only rely on human deduction.

In the absence of past experience to draw on, at times like this, one can only rely on the awakening method of cultivation to deduce subsequent exercises.

Not to mention whether Qin Xue is such a genius.

Even if it is!

After deducing the techniques and practicing step by step, can one really achieve unity in just over a hundred years?
Xia Yuan didn't know, but just thinking about the risks along the way was daunting.

The path of cultivation is full of thorns.

Can a little girl who just turned fifteen really afford to pay this price?

She is still so young!
She clearly has a better future and a more colorful life. Is it really necessary to ruin her life for this?
Xia Yuan admitted that his previous thoughts were too simple.

The decision I made at that time was half out of admiration and half out of selfishness.

Although I had told Qin Xue about my selfish motives at that time, I now think that I was too impulsive.

In fact, the bigger reason is that we see too little and have too little contact with it.

If he were given another chance to choose after meeting Qingyue, he would definitely not pass on the awakening method to a little girl.

Even if he admired her and wanted to help her, there were other better ways than leading her on the path of cultivation.

This behavior seemed to give her an opportunity, but didn't it also lead her into another abyss?
But it’s too late to regret now. Once Pandora’s box is opened, it can never be closed again.

Qin Xue was also more persistent than he imagined.

The only thing to be thankful for is that there is no source energy on Earth, so others cannot embark on the path of cultivation.

"I hope time can dilute all of this and eventually let her let go of this obsession!"

Xia Yuan had no better solution and could only leave it to time.

It’s not that he was reluctant to provide the source crystals. Even if he cultivated to the innate level, it would only be twenty or thirty source crystals, which was just a drizzle for him now.

I simply don't want my friends and family to sacrifice their lives for this.

They are either already married or about to get married and will soon have their own families.

An extraordinary path with a mortality rate of 9% and no future in sight is not suitable for them.

Just as Qingyue said, it is enough to live a happy life.

As long as I am around, they won't have a bad life.

This help is enough.

His thoughts returned, and Xia Yuan sent another message to Zhang Changsheng.

"Next time you see them, give me a call."

Zhang Changsheng, who was eating, saw this and his mouth twitched. "I have to call you to get through. I've called you so many times, but your phone is either turned off or disconnected. Who knows when I can contact you next time?"

"No thanks. You've been out of touch for months. Are you sure you received the call?"

"..."

Xia Yuan looked embarrassed and wanted to refute, but he had nothing to say.

"Don't wait until next time. I just happened to be going out for a while, so I'll stop by to help you. Today is Saturday, so there should be someone there."

"Okay, thank you."

Xia Yuan thought about it and didn't refuse. It was just as Zhang Changsheng said. He really didn't know when he would receive the next call.

While waiting, he sent another message to Huang Shang.

However, I learned from the conversation that his father had asked about his situation during this period.

【What does your father want to talk to me about? 】

"Oh, didn't you say last time that you needed his help? So you asked me to check if the problem was resolved."

[I'm even wondering if you're his illegitimate child. My dad wouldn't be that concerned about ordinary people.]

[Haha, your father really gave birth to a good son. Does he know that you are making up stories about him like this?]

The two chatted for a while, and at the end Xia Yuan replied.

[Tell Dad about this, and I’ll ask him when I get back.]

[So when will you be back? My mom also said she wants to thank you in person.]

[Let’s see, it’ll probably be four or five months]

After ending the chat, Huang Shang sent a screenshot of the chat with Xia Yuan to Huang Jinzhe. Of course, there was no need to take a screenshot of the unnecessary records in the middle.

It took a long time before I received a voice message.

"Well, if he comes back let him come straight to me."

"Depend on."

Putting down the phone, Huang Shang now really suspected that Xia Yuan was his father's illegitimate child. The tone seemed to be more intimate than talking to him.

As for Xia Yuan, after replying to Huang Shang's message, he replied to Fu Hongkang's message.

He had just heard that Qin Zhi and Fu Hongkang were getting married, so he took the opportunity to ask about Fu Hongkang's plans.

But Fu Hongkang obviously didn't want to talk about this, so he didn't ask many questions. As a result, they just chatted briefly about other things, but the topic ended not long after.

"I don't know if these two can get over the seven-year itch."

Xia Yuan actually hoped that the two could get married. After all, they had been dating for seven years. It would be a pity if they broke up in the end due to objective reasons.

It's just that it might be really difficult for the two of them to balance work and life, and he can't help with this. How far they can go in the end depends on themselves.

Only after replying to all the messages did Xia Yuan exit the chat software.

When he checked his missed calls, he found a number he had never seen before, but had called twice during that time.

The place of origin was still shown as Jiangcheng, so it must be someone he was familiar with, but he had no impression of him at all.

He has the phone numbers of those old friends in Jiangcheng memorized. It's unlikely that anyone else knows them. Could it be a classmate?

He didn't think too much about it and just called to find out. After calling twice, it must be that something was wrong and they wanted to find him.

"Hello, who is it?"

"You little bastard, it's been less than half a year and you've already forgotten your uncle?"

"Uncle Ding, how have you been lately?"

Xia Yuan recognized the voice as soon as it came from the other end of the phone.

Only then did he remember that he had given this number to Uncle Ding before.

But Uncle Ding went to Seoul not long after that and we didn’t contact each other afterwards, so I didn’t recognize him.

"I'm doing well. It was a little bit difficult to adapt when I first came here, but now I'm slowly getting used to it."

"But you, kid, can't get through to both numbers. I thought you changed your number after you went out."

Xia Yuan could only smile awkwardly. He didn't expect that Uncle Ding still remembered what happened.

"That's good. I'll go back to Seoul to see you when I have time."

"That's great. Let's have a drink together. I haven't had a single drink since we came to Seoul."

"Haha, I'm sure you'll enjoy your drink."

The two then chatted for a long time until Zhang Changsheng called and the conversation ended.

"It seems that Uncle Ding was really depressed after going to Seoul."

A smile appeared on his face. From Uncle Ding's words, he learned that his son was very nice to him and did not dislike him. So Xia Yuan felt much more relieved.

It's just that his drinking habit is controlled by his son, which makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, Xia Yuan thought this was a good thing. His father died of excessive drinking, so it is better to drink less alcohol.

"Hey, Brother Xia Yuan."

As soon as the phone was connected, Qin Xue's excited voice came from the other end.

"Well, it's me."

"How are your academic performance lately, girl? Has it declined?"

"No, no, don't worry, I won't delay my studies."

Hearing this soul-searching question, Qin Xue hurriedly made a promise, fearing that Xia Yuan would think that she would delay her studies for some reason.

"That's good. At this age, you should focus on your studies."

"Yes, I know. It's just that the cultivation method you gave me hasn't made any progress."

At the end of her speech, her voice became smaller and smaller, and there was an undisguised sense of loss in her words.

"Brother Xia Yuan, do I have no talent?"

"I feel so stupid and I failed to live up to your expectations."

Xia Yuan was silent. He didn't know how to comfort the little girl.

Did it live up to your expectations?
What I actually expected was that she would be unable to practice.

But he couldn't say it out loud. Sometimes the truth is more hurtful, and it would be better not to know.

"Xiaoxue, your academic performance is so good, how can you be stupid?"

"Your talent may not lie in cultivation. Everyone has their own areas of expertise. Don't force yourself to do something you can't do."

"You should pursue other more meaningful things. There are many paths to take in life. You don't have to take this one."

"Study hard, go to a good university in the future, find a job you like, and grow old with the one you love. Isn't that a good life?"

"Maybe it's time to let go!"
