Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 43 Guo Jing's Voluntary Sacrifice

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan was overjoyed.

While unlocking the wheat field might not seem to align with his current needs for developing the fantasy world, in the long run, it will help stabilize his base in the martial arts world.

Cha Nan didn't have many other expectations, but the two promises Huang Rong made gave him a lot of motivation.

The Nine Yin Manual is known as the ultimate guide to martial arts. Regardless of whether it is exaggerated, at least at the current stage, it can definitely be called a divine skill. Even after exploring many worlds of the same level, there are very few martial arts that can rival it.

To obtain the complete Nine Yin Manual, one would most likely have to seek out Guo Jing and Huang Rong. Others, such as Master Yideng, Zhou Botong, Huang Yaoshi, Yang Guo, and Xiaolongnu, only possessed partial knowledge of the Nine Yin Manual.

As for the master of water-based internal energy that Huang Rong mentioned, Cha Nan thought of the tall woman Guo Xiang had mentioned before who had been pestering Huang Rong. With this in mind, the identity of the tall woman was already obvious.

"Could it be the Water Mother Yin Ji of the Divine Water Palace?" Cha Nan wondered to herself, but did not voice her guess.

The world is too strange these days. Sometimes you have to be careful. If you appear to know too much, your reputation will definitely not be a good thing.

Characters like "The All-Knowing Scholar" in the martial arts world usually don't live long, because when someone wants to hide a secret, the first thing they think of is killing you.

Cha Nan isn't afraid of death, but he doesn't want to revert to a previous state casually!
“Then you shall see, Madam Guo!” Cha Nan said.

Huang Rong nodded and said, "I'll give you the wheat seeds you wanted tomorrow. Is ten catties enough?"

Although there is a severe shortage of food in Xiangyang City, ten catties of wheat seeds can still be produced. The reason for the food shortage is that there are too many people in the city at this time, and they are unable to leave the city to work and keep the economy running. If they just sit and eat their reserves, they will definitely be in dire straits.

Why do most siege battles follow the principle of "surrounding the enemy if ten times their strength is sufficient"?
Because as long as the supply of food and water is blocked, no matter how tenacious the defenders are, they cannot hold out for long.

One of the gifts Yang Guo gave to Guo Xiang for her sixteenth birthday was burning a large portion of the Mongol army's granaries, forcing the Mongols to launch a full-scale attack on Xiangyang instead of besieging the city and waiting for the food supplies to run out.

Whether Yang Guo will descend like a divine soldier again this time to create favorable circumstances remains to be seen.

"Enough! Enough!" Cha Nan nodded repeatedly.

A wheat field only needs three seeds and can be reused. If these wheat seeds from the martial arts world could be grown in the fantasy world, then ten kilograms would be enough to cultivate at least several hundred fields.

After reaching an agreement, Huang Rong left the tung oil workshop, while Guo Fu continued to stroll around with Cha Nan.

As for learning martial arts and palm techniques?

Not in a hurry!
Cha Nan will first learn Yun Zhonghe's lightness skill, and then Fang Dongbai's swordsmanship.

As for the "No-Seeking Palm" that Guo Jing mentioned, we'll find an opportunity to have Guo Jing teach it to us personally!
As long as the food ration plan can be implemented, no matter how busy Guo Jing is, he will squeeze out the time he spends sleeping with his wife to teach him.

Besides, even if Guo Jing didn't have time, there was still Huang Rong.
Huang Rong's strength was inferior to Guo Jing's, but her teaching level was far superior to Guo Jing's.

That afternoon, Cha Nan met Guo Jing again.

Upon seeing Cha Nan, Guo Jing rushed forward and excitedly asked, "I heard you can get your hands on grain, young man?"

Cha Nan nodded: "I'm pretty confident!"

He didn't make any overly confident statements; unlocking the wheat fields was only a matter of time, but the question was when he could gather enough tech points.

To create a wheat field, besides unlocking technology, you need three wheat seeds, thirty-five pieces of wood, and thirty-five pieces of stone.

Yun Zhonghe had been collecting stones and wood, and both resources were plentiful near the first stronghold that Cha Nan had chosen, making them easy to collect.

"How confident are you?" Guo Jing pressed.

"About... 50%?" Cha Nan estimated conservatively.

After all, the fastest way to acquire technology points is to explore underground caves, and Fang Dongbai's strength cannot guarantee that he can completely flatten the entire cave.

"Then how can we increase the possibility?"

"Whatever the method, as long as I can help, if you need my help... please ask, I will not refuse," Guo Jing said firmly. These words even caused Guo Fu's expression to change slightly, while Huang Rong, following behind Guo Jing, remained completely calm.

She had long been used to Guo Jing being like this.

Always honest and passionate, willing to do anything to protect their country and its people.

Upon hearing this, Cha Nan's heart stirred. After hesitating for a moment, she still asked, "There is a way. If Uncle Guo can help, I am 80% confident!"

"However... Uncle Guo might have to go through some trouble!"

What Cha Nan was referring to was turning Guo Jing into a Palu and taking him to the Mythical Beast World to help him go down into the cave.

Guo Jing is at least at the innate level of cultivation, and may even be a grandmaster. Such a master would be able to easily slaughter enemies in a low-level map of the fantasy beast world.

The only question is whether Guo Jing is willing to do this, and whether a low-level Paluko player has the ability to recruit such a high-level player, provided the target actively cooperates.

"I'm not wronged! I'm not wronged! As long as everyone can have enough to eat, I'll do anything!"

"Even if it costs you my head, please don't hesitate!" Guo Jing said sincerely.

Cha Nan quickly waved his hand: "It's not that serious. It might cause you, Uncle Guo, to lose some of your freedom."

"Of all things created by nature, who is free?"

"Come on!" Guo Jing rolled up his sleeves, waiting for Cha Nan to continue.

Cha Nan was puzzled: "You...you trust me that much?"

Cha Nan was shocked. He really didn't expect that Guo Jing would trust him so easily, but what about Huang Rong?

Do you believe this?

Have you lost your mind?
Guo Jing and Huang Rong exchanged a smile.

They didn't know what means Cha Nan had to conjure up food, but Cha Nan didn't know either. A true martial arts master could reach a certain level. Once they reached the Innate Realm, they would have already begun to explore Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation. Their innate spiritual sense was sharp, and they could intuitively sense a person's goodwill and malice. The simpler and purer a person's mind, the more accurate this intuition would be.

Guo Jing is honest and straightforward, but his intuition is accurate. So over the years, countless open and covert attacks have been aimed at him, but none have been able to do anything to him.

Moreover, since Cha Nan entered the city, he has never escaped the surveillance of Guo Jing and his wife. They knew about Guo Fu taking him to the Liu residence and what happened at the place where they ate from the communal pot.

Therefore, they already had a basic level of trust in Cha Nan and his team.

Of course, they also have more faith in themselves.

If Cha Nan's intentions are good, then everything is negotiable.

If they harbor ulterior motives, they are confident that they can expose a conspiracy and quickly resolve a potential threat.

“You are Fu’er, Xiang’er, and Po Lu’s friend, and you saved their lives. How could I not trust you?” Guo Jing said frankly.

Seeing that Guo Jing trusted her so much, Cha Nan stopped hesitating, took out a Parul ball, and aimed it at Guo Jing.

Upon taking that peek, Cha Nan was immediately taken aback.

The success rate was displayed as 100%, but the progress bar was completely yellow, as if it were a warning.

So, is it going to work or not?

This exceeded some of the cognitive frameworks that Cha Nan had originally established based on the game "Fantasy Beast Palu".
