Is this NPC even playable if it's not nerfed?

Chapter 177 Immortal Qi Enters the Body, Water and Land God: Don't Come Closer!
Why don't you learn?

"With your physical strength, you'll only get stronger once you start cultivating."

Hu Sanniang poked Lu Yuan's arm with her finger. Lu Yuan's arm was thicker than hers, soft yet firm, incredibly resilient, and extremely resistant in every way. It was hard to imagine that there was a creature in the world that could possess such abilities.

And it was in human form.

Lu Yuan's existence was somewhat beyond Hu San Niang's comprehension.

It's hard to imagine how terrifying such a monster would be if it were to cultivate.

"Didn't the peach blossom spirit tell you about my situation?"

Lu Yuan glanced at Hu San Niang, somewhat speechless.

Who in Wangyou County doesn't know that he can't cultivate?
How could you ask such a basic question?

"No."

"Do you have any special circumstances?"

Hu Sanniang looked at Lu Yuan with curiosity.

"I was born unable to cultivate any system."

"Because my body cannot contain true qi, nor can it perceive its existence."

"Besides, do I even need to cultivate?"

"I have my own way of fighting."

"Perhaps you think my methods are barbaric, brutal, and not aesthetically pleasing."

"But that's how I fight."

"It's also the way that suits me best."

"Fox, I have a question for you."

"What is the purpose of fighting?"

Lu Yuan said calmly.

"For the sake of fighting."

After thinking for a moment, Hu San Niang gave her answer.

"That's right, for the sake of fighting, for the sake of killing the opponent."

"Killing the other party is the goal; how to kill the other party is the process."

"All I need to do is kill the other person; how I kill them is my business."

"Compared to those fancy moves, I prefer simple and direct methods. Isn't that more efficient?"

Simplicity and directness equal efficiency.

"That makes sense, but are you really not capable of cultivation?"

"Please take a look at what's going on."

Hu San Niang suddenly moved closer to Lu Yuan, placed her hands on Lu Yuan's arms, and refined a wisp of true energy, transferring it into Lu Yuan's body.

"Huh? The true energy has disappeared?"

The moment the true energy entered Lu Yuan's body, it vanished without a trace.

Lu Yuan's expression did not change, clearly indicating that he did not sense any true energy entering his body.

"That's really weird."

Hu San Niang thought to herself, but she did not give up. If true qi didn't work, how about spiritual qi?
Reiki is a higher form of energy.

Surely Lu Yuan couldn't be so oblivious to spiritual energy?

Unconvinced, Hu Sanniang transferred a wisp of spiritual energy over.

As expected, just like true qi, spiritual qi disappeared as soon as it entered Lu Yuan's body.

Lu Yuan maintained the same expression, showing no sign of spiritual energy entering.

"Even spiritual energy won't work?"

"What about the celestial aura?"

Immortal energy is a much higher level of energy than spiritual energy. Immortal energy does not exist in the mortal world. The immortal energy in Hu San Niang's body was specially left for her by her parents. It was very little, and Hu San Niang was reluctant to use the immortal energy left by her parents.

However, in order to explore the mysteries of Lu Yuan's body, she still chose to use the little immortal energy she had left.

With a pang of heartache, Hu San Niang carefully channeled a wisp of her immortal energy towards Lu Yuan.

As before, the immortal energy vanished instantly upon entering Lu Yuan's body, giving Hu San Niang no chance to react.

"Ok?"

"Fox, what have you done?"

Why do I feel like you blew a breath on me?

"It's cool."

This time, Lu Yuan finally reacted.

He sensed the presence of immortal energy, but it was too faint.

It's like tickling him.

"You really are a monster."

Hu San Niang came to a conclusion.

Lu Yuan is a monster.

The celestial energy—this kind of energy only gave Lu Yuan a slight feeling. Wow, Lu Yuan's body is ridiculously powerful.

Even celestial energy couldn't satisfy him.

What a monster.

I'm even more craving him now.

……

"Dang-dang-dang-dang..."

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums rang out from ahead.

"It's so noisy outside, what's going on?"

Zhang Hengyuan came out.

"Ahead is Longdan Village; they must be performing a religious procession."

Lu Yuan pointed to the village ahead and said.

The procession of deities is a traditional folk custom in the southeastern coastal areas. At a specific time each year, villagers worship the gods, carry them around the village, and tour the sacred realm.

We pray for favorable weather, peace, and prosperity for the nation.

As lively as it may seem, the procession of deities carries a high risk.

If a wandering spirit crosses the line, a fight can easily break out.

Especially when multiple villages hold parades on the same day, if two villages meet, they will inevitably fight.

Every year, the government spends a lot of manpower and resources to mediate village feuds.

That's quite difficult to handle.

Lu Yuan had handled several similar cases before, and he got really angry with him on the spot.

……

“You Shen, I know this person.”

As a mythical beast, Hu Sanniang also had the experience of being worshipped.

However, due to the passage of time, the village that once worshipped her has long been lost to history.

"Uncle Yuan, do you know which deity Longdan Village worships?"

Chen Yu, from the car behind, suddenly shouted loudly.

"It is their ancestral god, called the Water and Land God, who is said to be a descendant of Fuxi."

Old Sun told us about the Water and Land Gods last time, and they even offered incense to them.

"Huh? A descendant of Fuxi? That must be a proper deity. Why don't we go and offer some incense? All the Xia people share the same origin, and Fuxi's descendants are our ancestors. It's always good to pay our respects."

Chen Yu wanted to pray for his child's safety.

"I don't care, you can ask them if they want to go."

"Grandpa, Great-Grandpa, Uncle Zhang, shall we go?"

"Let's go then. It's getting late. Let's find a place to stay and set off again tomorrow."

Old Lu didn't care; if they wanted to go, then let them go.

"Great! Wandering spirits, wandering spirits, wandering spirits!"

Chen Yiyi clapped her hands, very excited.

Because the procession is very lively, many vendors gather around it, and there are lots and lots of delicious food.

For Chen Yiyi, this was simply paradise.

"Let's go."

Lu Yuan drove his carriage to the Temple of the Water and Land Gods, which he had visited before. As soon as he arrived, Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.

Huh?
Where is the temple?

Where is the temple of the Water and Land Gods?
What is this simple thatched hut in front of us?
Aren't the temples of the Water and Land Gods made of blue bricks and tiles?

How did it turn into a thatched hut?

Is this reasonable?

Where did such a big room go?

Although Lu Yuan was puzzled, the lively scene before him constantly reminded him that the thatched hut in front of him was the temple of the Water and Land God.

"Brother, I'd like to ask about the old temple of the Water and Land Gods? I remember it wasn't like this before."

Lu Yuan stopped a passing vendor and asked him.

"It collapsed."

"It all collapsed. Not only did the temple collapse, but the statues inside were also stolen."

The vendor scratched his head and told Lu Yuan the truth.

"The temple collapsed? The statue was stolen? Wait, isn't that a big rock? Why would a thief steal it?"

Lu Yuan couldn't understand it.

"I don't know about that. Anyway, these were made by supernatural beings, so there might really be some kind of treasure."
