I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 97 Who are you?
"Go left!"

"Da da da."

"right."

"Da da da."

"Jump!"

"boom!"

"stop."

"Humph."

……

Qi Xuan sat on Sunday's back and reached out to pick a red lemon that had fallen from the leaves.

He wiped it with his sleeve, took a bite casually, and the sourness made his whole face scrunch up.

"I'll give it to you."

Qi Xuan casually tossed the half-eaten fruit forward.

On Sunday, he suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed it whole, followed by a sharp, shivering sensation all over his body.

It turned its head, two tears hanging from the corners of its eyes, staring at Qi Xuan with resentment.

Qi Xuan gave the order:
"Keep rushing!"

On Sunday, he huffed and puffed as he ran forward.

Seeing this, netizens around the world were incredibly envious:
"Everyone says pigs are stupid, but I've never seen such an obedient pig!"

"Don't even mention it, my Border Collie looks like a complete idiot compared to it."

“I raised a Corgi and it took me half a year to train it to sit. But when Qi Shen got his hands on Sunday, it listened to everything he said and did whatever he was told. Compared to that, I really wanted to strangle it.”

"So what? I often come home to find my whole house wrecked by that stupid husky. Have I said anything about it?"

"I don't know if you guys noticed, but when Qi Shen was picking the fruit just now, he was a little short of that sour fruit. But Sunday stood on his own to increase the height for him. This is the first time I've ever seen such a spiritual creature."

"How could it not be intelligent? It's not an ordinary wild boar. Not to mention wild boars, even monkeys and apes, which are known for their intelligence, cannot compare to it. After all, it's a genuine extraordinary beast."

"Indeed, don't be fooled by Sunday's docile appearance now. How fierce it looked when it first appeared! And it really is very fierce. Just look at its pack members; one charge and it's all over."

"Qi Shen has unintentionally set another record—the first time in human history that a wild superhuman beast has been tamed!"

"Please, stop talking, the more you talk, the more sour I get,"

"What's there to be so sour about? The ones who should be so sour are the UN guys. They sent out exploration teams to fight to the death on the island, being chased by all sorts of wild beasts and running around like chickens and dogs. And here they are, they've even provided them with mounts. If I were a UN official, seeing this scene, I'd feel like going to my grave."

"Although I know I can't beat them, the gap shouldn't be this big."

"Hehe, if you could take down a male Dark Cloud White-limbed Leopard by yourself, it would submit to you."

"I surrender, I surrender, isn't that enough?"

……

Qi Xuan rode Sunday and stood on the high slope.

Looking ahead, one is immediately struck by a gently sloping valley inhabited by many grey-backed cave lizards, clearly a group of them.

Considering that the narrow mountain road next to it would be difficult for Sunday to walk, and that taking a detour would be a bit troublesome, Qi Xuan decided to cross the entire valley directly, which would also be a good opportunity to test Sunday's fighting ability.

"drive!"

Facing hundreds of grey-backed cave lizards, the shortest of which were three meters long, Sunday showed no fear. Upon receiving the order from his side, he charged forward on all fours and immediately swooped down.

It has to be said that Sunday is truly obedient and brave.

The Greyback Cave Lizard clan had more than a dozen Tier 2 lizards and a large number of Tier 1 lizards. Normally, even if it encountered one alone, or even if it led a group of Giant Toothed Demon Boars, it would have to think twice before starting a fight. But now, as soon as the words were spoken, it immediately charged forward without any hesitation, as if afraid of not running fast enough.

In the blink of an eye, the swarm of grey-backed cave lizards was already upon them.

Upon sensing an approaching enemy, the Greyback Cave Lizard displayed remarkable organization. The young individuals crawled directly into the cave, while the first-tier adults landed on the perimeter. On the other hand, the elite second-tier creatures charged fiercely towards them and launched an attack on the spot.

Faced with the gray-backed cave lizard lunging at him with its mouth wide open, Qi Xuan picked up the Vermilion Fiend Stone and slapped it down without hesitation.

As for Sunday, which was sitting on him, its momentum stopped after it rammed into more than a dozen huge gray-backed cave lizards.

The surrounding gray-backed cave lizards immediately launched an attack. Sunday stretched out his pair of blood-stained giant teeth and began to slash and mash wildly at the surrounding area.

The Giant-Toothed Demon Boar's combat power is mainly concentrated in its charge. Utilizing the enormous kinetic energy carried by the charge, its two sharp, sword-like tusks are enough to pierce two bloody holes in most ferocious beasts.

Furthermore, they are thick-skinned and have numerous specialized spikes on their bodies, making them extremely difficult for enemies to attack. Therefore, their charging attack mode is their go-to move for success.

However, once the charge stops, especially when surrounded, the Giant-Toothed Boar's combat power drops significantly, and it often struggles to deal with other ferocious beasts even with its pair of giant tusks.

This is why they often appear in groups, because with just one charge, the enemy is almost wiped out, thus maximizing the advantage of the charge.

Now, the Giant-Toothed Boar is surrounded by Gray-Backed Cave Lizards, seemingly in a difficult situation, but it is still incredibly fierce.

Its massive teeth slashed and mawed wildly, even the tough-skinned second-tier gray-backed cave lizard couldn't withstand it, and various wounds kept appearing on its body. Clearly, the Demon King Fruit had greatly enhanced its attack teeth, making this thing a truly deadly weapon.

After shedding its thorns, its pigskin possessed terrifying defensive capabilities. Several gray-backed cave lizards attacked it relentlessly, yet failed to break through its defenses, which utterly shocked Qi Xuan.

This pig skin is so thick and tough, it's hard to imagine how good the pig skin jelly would be... No, no, how could I even think of making pig skin jelly? He doesn't know how to make pig skin jelly at all.

As Qi Xuan pondered how to cook, the surrounding gray-backed cave lizards were either poked to death by Sunday or knocked over on the spot. It seemed that the crisis had been resolved, but more gray-backed cave lizards swarmed up and rushed forward.

Upon seeing this, Qi Xuan immediately gave the order:
"War Tramples!"

Almost at the same time as it heard the command, Sunday suddenly stomped its feet on the ground. With each stomp, a faint wave spread rapidly outwards from its center.

The approaching grey-backed cave lizards, upon contact with the energy fluctuations, collapsed to the ground as if drunk, their bodies limp and powerless, some even fainting on the spot.

War Stomp – this is the new skill that Sunday awakened after consuming the Demon King Fruit. This skill may not be as powerful as the Six-Clawed Serpent's freezing breath or the Sharp-Patterned Crocodile's spiked projectiles, but it is the most suitable skill for it.

Once war trampling is used in conjunction with assault, it's hard to imagine how much destruction it would cause.

Even when surrounded by enemies, War Trample is an excellent escape skill, which can be said to both enhance Sunday's advantages and make up for its weaknesses.

Moreover, this skill is quite useful to him.

If he encounters a strong opponent in the future, he can simply have Sunday use War Stomp to overpower him. This will give him a huge advantage whether he is fighting or fleeing.

"Looking at the range of this attack, it will affect anything within a radius of 30 meters, which is quite a good area-of-effect skill."

"The testing is almost complete, let's ignore them for now and charge forward."

On Sunday, they received orders to stop slaughtering the gray-backed cave lizards in the area and instead rush towards the other side of the valley.

When netizens outside saw Qi Xuan and Sunday, one human and one pig, crushing the entire valley of grey-backed cave lizards, they were all stunned:

"This is outrageous! So many large lizards, and they were taken down so easily?"

"I knew it would be strong after being enhanced on Sunday, but I didn't expect it to be this strong."

"It's giving me goosebumps! It's absolutely giving me goosebumps! Is that really a wild boar? Or some other monster disguised as a wild boar?!"

"When I saw Qi Shen taming Sunday before, I laughed at him for taking a pig as a pet, but this pig is way too strong, isn't it? It can knock out a whole circle of lizards just by stomping on the spot... Qi Shen, do you deserve to be a piglet?"

"Can't you speak properly? What do you mean by 'breeding piglets'? That's called the 'Humanity's Animal Taming Plan'! It's the key to whether human civilization can reach the universe!!"

"How about we name our first spaceship 'Piggy Hero'?"

"I think 'Marshal Tianpeng' sounds better."

"After all that discussion, you should at least prepare a few sows. Do you even have any sows?"

"Huh? Who's calling me?"

……

The afternoon live stream ended quickly.

Surprisingly, a new live stream started soon after the previous one ended.

The live stream still showed Qi Xuan and Sunday, the two of them charging around recklessly, startling hordes of wild beasts and turning the entire jungle into chaos.

Seeing this, the representatives from various countries in the camp were practically green with envy.

Sunday's combat power is too formidable. Combined with its razor-sharp teeth, unbreakable defense, and ability to shake the surroundings, it is probably not far off from the most elite beasts, even if it is not as powerful as them.

Most importantly, it is loyal and obedient, brave and fearless. Even when asked to charge at obviously extremely powerful beasts, it never hesitates. It is the white moonlight in the hearts of countless commanders and the most reliable partner for all soldiers on the battlefield.

If their exploration team had been able to bring one of these giant-toothed monsters to the island, the casualty rate would have been greatly reduced.

But now, they can only watch with envy.

They watched longingly as the man and the pig dominated the live stream.

The impact of shutting down random live streams continues to unfold in the real world.

The most obvious thing is that the stocks of major pig farming companies have risen!
It wasn't just a regular increase; it was skyrocketing! A bunch of pig farming company executives were hit by a windfall, and they were practically laughing themselves silly.

Clothing with pig head prints and pig-related symbols has seen a surge in sales in clothing stores around the world.

Pig-shaped toys and models that were usually ignored and placed in the corner of the supermarket were completely sold out.

The most outrageous thing is that even on pornographic websites like Pornhub, images featuring pig-like characteristics have seen a surge in popularity.

……

Happiness Garden Community.

Qi family.

"Huh? What did you say? You're ordering piglets from our family?"

Qi's mother was completely dumbfounded:
"You've dialed the wrong number, haven't you? We don't raise pigs."

"My son raises pigs? If my son raises pigs, you should ask my son! What's the point of asking me?"

"So you know he's on the floating continent? Are you out of your mind asking us for piglets? I'm hanging up now."

"What? One million per head?! You...you, please wait a moment, let me talk to my wife about it."

Qi's mother suddenly covered the microphone, looked at Qi's father who was listening intently beside her, and asked:

"What should we do? A sucker wants to buy piglets from us. He said he's willing to buy one million for each piglet born on Sunday, as many as he can get, and he can sign a contract and pay first."

After pondering for a moment, Qi's father slowly shook his head and said:

"Reject it."

"But one million..."

“Even ten million won’t do,” Qi’s father said in a deep voice. “Xuanzi is still in the sky, and we don’t know when he will come down. We also don’t know if he will die or get sick on Sunday. What if something happens to him in the battle one day? What piglets will you give him then?”

Qi's mother sighed with heartache:
"Oh, I knew it."

She put the microphone down again and, after much persuasion, managed to refuse the business deal.

No sooner had I hung up than another call came in.

As Qi's mother picked up the phone, she muttered to herself:

"That's strange. Is someone else coming to buy pigs?"

"Hello."

"Yes, this is the Qi family home, and I am Qi Xuan's mother."

"You want to buy out the exclusive rights to Sunday's image?"

Qi's mother looked at Qi's father with a blank expression.

Qi's father was also very troubled.

Fortunately, he has never lacked professionals.

After receiving the request, only half an hour later, a legal team dispatched by the government began to handle various business collaboration offers on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Qi.

After a series of screenings and negotiations, a total of 37 partners were selected, all of whom are large, reputable companies with considerable strength. The scope of cooperation includes image licensing, co-production, film and television shooting, etc. The initial revenue totaled 180 million yuan, not including subsequent copyright revenue sharing and other fees.

Upon receiving this unexpected windfall, Qi's parents were nearly dumbfounded. "Who would have thought that our little Qi's wife was earned with a pig?"

Aunt Qi muttered to herself.

Then, as if remembering something, she rushed to the computer, opened the recording, and muttered to herself:

"No, I need to take a good look at Sunday."

"This is our family's golden pig."

"If that kid dares to treat it badly again, I'll beat him up when I get down here!"

……

Class One Garden Party.

Literature and Art Committee member Song Manman forwarded a news article:
"[Saudi prince seeks to purchase a large wild boar king, saying the price is negotiable]."

"Chrysanthemum, are you out of your mind? You actually believe this kind of news?"

"You retracted a message."

"Damn, it's not that kid 'Slightly Sweet Chrysanthemum'? Manman, why are you starting to share this kind of news too?"

Zhang Chu, Chen Yutong's suitor and known as "Number One in the East Gate," couldn't help but complain.

Song Manman chuckled twice:
"I think this news is very likely true."

"Come on, Qi Xuan's wild boar is indeed very strong, but you can't encounter it in reality. They are completely different species."

"Who knows? Maybe the prince just likes this one. If we can't find the real thing, finding a substitute is good too."

"Hehe, Manman, you're exaggerating too much."

The other students then chimed in as well:

"Our wild boars on land are nothing like Xuanzi's Sundays. Surely the prince wouldn't be that foolish?"

"To be honest, wild boars in the woodlands are extremely aggressive towards humans, even more so than bears and tigers, and there is basically no possibility of taming them."

"I think this is most likely a gimmick, an attempt to ride the wave of popularity, just like many online sellers of pig head print T-shirts who brazenly add the keyword 'Sunday' to their designs."

……

Seeing everyone questioning it, Xue Cheng couldn't stand it anymore:
"If the prince is used to riding tigers and lions and wants to switch to a wild boar king, that's possible."

Zhang Chu immediately retorted:
"Those tigers and lions are all raised from cubs, their wildness has long been worn away. Where can you find a wild boar king raised from a cub these days?"

"I was just saying. People don't necessarily have to ride the wild boar king just because they buy it. Why not put it on display in a private exhibition hall? There are all sorts of wild animals kept in those places, and some people even want to keep giant pandas."

"That's utter nonsense!"

"Who the hell are you calling bullshit?"

……

Just as the two were getting increasingly heated and about to start arguing in the group chat, [Chrysanthemum Sweet] suddenly sent a red envelope.

"Holy crap! It wasn't even a single penny?!"

"Oh my god, I won fifty yuan!"

"Chrysanthemum, when did you become so generous?"

Did you win the lottery? Or have you finally decided to go into business?

……

Faced with numerous inquiries from classmates, [Chrysanthemum Sweet] excitedly replied:
"You guessed it, I actually made a small fortune recently."

"To be specific, a few days ago there was a wild boar infestation in the village. Not only were the crops destroyed, but people were also injured. My dad led a group of people into the mountains to hunt wild boars. They caught several, the largest of which weighed 420 kilograms. My dad took it down with a tranquilizer gun."

“Normally, this was nothing. We were just thinking of having a nice meal when we got in touch from overseas today saying that someone wanted to buy that wild boar king and offered a million dollars. My dad and the others initially thought it was a scam, but after the person saw the wild boar, they actually paid a deposit.”

"Now I'm a little rich kid too, haha."

Everyone was stunned when they saw this news:
"Are people actually buying this wild boar king?"

"Pork only costs a dozen yuan per kilogram on the market, but this one costs a million yuan per head, which is over a thousand yuan per kilogram!"

"You're even selling it by weight? Do you really think people are buying it to eat?"

"I forgot to mention, one million is in US dollars."

"grass!"

"grass!"

"grass!"

"grass!"

……

Floating continent.

Jungle, a cave.

A bright red bonfire burned inside the cave. On Sunday, people who had eaten too much would lie down at the cave entrance, both to rest and to keep watch.

Qi Xuan sat by the campfire, eating roasted meat while opening the lottery page.

I glanced at the top right corner and saw 289B.

Subtracting the 39 I had saved up before, I got a total of 250 this time, which is another new high.

Although he still couldn't figure out the reason, Qi Xuan had gotten used to it.

"Anyway, it's not a bad thing."

Qi Xuan glanced at the page, picked up his greasy right hand, and pulled the lever.

The 10-pull is over.

Seven spiritual items dropped in the first round.

The three items are spiritual materials, well, not entirely spiritual materials. Take this fish-dragon tendon for example, besides being used for refining weapons, it can also be roasted and eaten.

Sprinkle some cumin on it, and it'll give you a nice, slightly pungent flavor.

However, he did eat quite a lot today, so he'll put that aside for now.

Besides the three spiritual materials, there are two spiritual herbs and two talismans.

Leaving aside the spiritual herbs, we will prioritize using various elixirs. As for the two talismans, one is the Rainstorm Talisman, and the other is the Illusion Moon Talisman.

The effect of the Rainstorm Talisman is simple: it temporarily summons a sudden downpour. It can generally be used to extinguish fires or to cast various water-based spells. Basically, cultivators who are skilled in water-based spells can have a lot of these talismans.

If this thing could be sold on Earth, the demand would probably be unprecedented. Not to mention the large quantities that arid regions would purchase it for artificial rainmaking, it would at least be an essential item for traversing the desert.
As for the Illusion Moon Talisman, this talisman is quite magical.

Once activated, it will solidify into a phantom moon on the spot, strongly attracting the attention of the surrounding creatures and even making them lose their senses. This is a powerful weapon for assassinating other cultivators.

The only downside is that it can only be used against enemies at the Qi Refining stage; those at the Foundation Establishment stage are almost completely immune to its bewitching power.

However, in this dangerous jungle, it can definitely be considered a trump card.

After collecting all the rewards, Qi Xuan started his second ten-pull.

"Alas, seven more spiritual items!"

This time, there were no spiritual materials among the spiritual items, but I did draw three satiety pills.

The Satiation Pill is made by extracting the essence from a large amount of spiritual plants and demon beast meat. One pill can keep a Qi Refining cultivator full for a month. It seems useless under normal circumstances, but it can sometimes be used to save lives in a ghostly place like the Land of Desolation.

In addition, he also won a Rejuvenation Pill and a Bloodthirst Pill.

There's no need to mention the Rejuvenation Pill. As for the Blood Explosion Pill, it's a burst-type pill that can boost one's combat power for a short period of time after taking it, but the downside is that one will be weak for a while afterward.

But if you really encounter danger, you can't care about being weak afterwards.

In addition to the two pills, he also drew a dose of beast-repelling powder.

The beast-repelling powder is the exact opposite of the mushroom-attracting powder.

The Demon-Attracting Mushroom draws in countless demonic beasts, while the Beast-Repelling Powder directly drives all demonic beasts away.

In a place like a jungle, it should come in handy sooner or later, right?

After putting away the beast-repelling powder, the next item was the last and most special spiritual item.

This spiritual object is a talisman called the Heart-to-Heart Talisman.

Unlike other talismans, the Heart-to-Heart Talisman is a unique talisman.

A rare talisman refers to a special talisman with unique effects, not classified as high-grade, created by chance, and very difficult to replicate.

"It is said that using this love charm can allow two people who are of one mind to connect even across a great distance."

"Distant? How far could it be?"

Qi Xuan chuckled to himself, and faces flashed through his mind as the Heart-to-Heart Talisman suddenly ignited in his hand.

In an instant, he felt that he had somehow connected with someone's thoughts.

Surprised, he couldn't help but ask:
"who are you?"

Almost immediately after he finished asking the question, that connection was severed.

Qi Xuan was stunned for a long time, then flew into a rage:
"What the hell! Such a short duration, maybe even two seconds?!"

"You should at least wait for an answer from the other side! You're making such a big fuss, talking about some kind of rare and extraordinary talisman, is it really that rare?!"

Qi Xuan was utterly speechless.

I don't even know who I just contacted.

Does he know anyone in this other world?
You can't exactly contact your parents from all over the world, can you?

Unable to come up with a solution, Qi Xuan simply put the problem out of his mind.

There are 89B left on the lottery page.

I only need 30 more pulls to reach the guaranteed bronze pool.

In three days at most, I will be able to break through to the fourth level of Qi Refining and obtain the fourth transformation of Qi Refining.

More and more clues about the indigenous people are emerging.

Everything is getting better and better.

Congratulations, congratulations.

Qi Xuan was very satisfied with clearing his mind of distractions, sat down to meditate, and entered a new round of cultivation.

……

"who are you?"

Hearing the voice that suddenly came from the depths of her heart, Ji Yuwei quickly turned off the recording, feeling somewhat dazed for a moment:
"That voice...is he talking to me?"

"Wait a minute, isn't he on the floating continent? How can he contact me from such a distance?"

"And why me, and not someone else?"

"Logically speaking, that idiot has no idea that I like him. If he were to contact someone, he should contact Yutong instead."

After a thorough and logical analysis, Ji Yuwei, a top student from a 985 university, finally came to a conclusion—

Auditory hallucinations.

It's an auditory hallucination.

"I'm even experiencing auditory hallucinations. Looks like I should watch less recorded content in the future."

Ji Yuwei gazed at Qi Xuan on the computer screen, a touch of melancholy appearing on her porcelain-white face:
"Alright, I'll finish watching tonight's episodes first. I'll try to watch less in the future, yeah, try."
