Daily life of a teacher in the martial arts department

In an instant, Wang Qiushui's body disappeared!

Ying Qin Guan's eyes remained fixed, then he suddenly reached behind him and grabbed Wang Qiu Shui's shoulder, who had appeared beside Shi Jiu Xiu and was trying to grab her. Amidst a shocked "What?!", he abruptly grabbed her shoulder.

When you try to grab someone, someone else is trying to grab you!

Ying Qin Guan showed no mercy. With his right hand, he grabbed Wang Qiushui's smooth shoulder through the black robe and swung her forward with a sudden force. Wang Qiushui was like a weightless doll in his hand, slamming her hard against the ground!

But in reality, Ying Qin Guan was subtly holding back. Knowing that his opponent was a mage, in a life-or-death battle, Ying Qin Guan could have directly crushed Wang Qiu Shui's shoulder with his full strength.

But if that blow lands solidly, then whether you hold back or not makes no difference.

However, just as Wang Qiushui was about to make intimate contact with the ground, she uttered another strange syllable, and Ying Qin Guan suddenly felt his hand go empty.

Ying Qin Guan looked up again... Wang Qiu Shui had already retreated to the front. Although her face was hidden behind a mask, one could still sense her surprised and uncertain state.

Too fast...too fast.

"Have I been out of touch with the world for too long? Although each generation of martial artists is better than the last,... can they really reach this level?" Wang Qiushui met Ying Qin Guan's gaze and felt immense pressure. She didn't launch another reckless attack but calmed down. "It seems you didn't just bring people along haphazardly..."

She had some guesses in her mind. She had heard that a Nephalem had emerged from the Seven Luminaries Empire. He had been an agent and spy with outstanding strength. Not long ago, he even defeated that Chu Kuangren... Could this person be the Nephalem?

She naturally wouldn't ask such a question, because to be honest, she really didn't care.

Nineteen Xiu could be described as dumbfounded, yet she possessed the demeanor of a great general. The brief exchange between the two failed to disturb her in the slightest. If it were Shen Xin, she would probably have already hidden behind Ying Qin Pass by now.

Upon hearing this, she smiled calmly and said, "Of course... Can we have a proper talk now?"

"If you don't regret letting others hear this conversation... then of course you can."

Chapter Fifty-Six: The Purpose of Gazing at Autumn Water

Even Ying Qinguan understood at this point.

Wang Qiushui is the source of the second batch of "Divine Powder," the mastermind behind it all. She's the one who released that batch of poisonous powder, causing global turmoil and ultimately forcing all of it to withdraw from the market.

But why would she do this? That's probably why Nineteen Xiu came here.

“If you don’t want anyone to find you, then no one can find you.” Nineteen Xiu said in a deep voice, “But you still deliberately left a message, specifically asking to see me, which led me here… Wang Qiushui, when I learned that you were still alive, I was really surprised. A divine general really cannot be judged by common sense. But compared to what you have done, the shock of you being alive is simply insignificant. What are you thinking?”

The Empire has always been very concerned about the mysterious mastermind behind the "Divine Powder No. 2". However, as the Seventh Princess, it was impossible for her to be in the anti-drug team from the beginning; she joined halfway through. Because the other party specifically requested to see her, and their methods on several occasions demonstrated that she possessed powerful spatial abilities... it's hard not to think of Wang Qiushui.

The Empire's guess is that it's Wang Qiushui, and if it really is her, then Nineteen Xiu has no choice but to go see her. Because if Nineteen Xiu doesn't go to see her, and she comes to him on her own initiative, the situation will be much worse.

"What am I thinking..." Wang Qiushui sat back down in her chair. Although Ying Qin Guan was incredibly powerful, she was one of only six people in human history to be granted godhood (here, it generally refers to being granted godhood through martial prowess), so she couldn't be afraid of him. She calmly said, "I think the same as before, but I feel that Bo Xun should step down from the stage of history."

really!

Nineteen Xiu thought to himself.

After guessing Wang Qiushui's identity, her purpose became clear.

Was she in it for money like other drug dealers, or was she trying to support her own addiction through drug trafficking?

No, her purpose was obvious, without even needing to think about it, because the facts were already laid bare.

Bo Xun has faded from the historical stage... even though Bo Xun's profits were so high. But the existence of something like the "Divine Powder II" is more terrifying than nuclear weapons; it could truly destroy a country and an era.

Wang Qiushui never intended to sell the second version of the Divine Elixir; rather, he wanted to deal with Bo Xun.

Under Wang Qiushui's deliberate arrangement, several people who had taken "Divine Powder No. 2" were shoved directly in the faces of the Imperial Anti-Drug Police, and were immediately arrested and taken into custody... She was afraid that the Imperial Police would not be able to catch them.

Subsequently, under her arrangement, those formulas circulated in a small circle, reaching a point where "nothing will happen for the time being, but it is absolutely uncontrollable."

With no other option, the Empire had to reclaim all of the Wave Seekers.

Some weapons can destroy your physical body, while others can even devour your soul.

"You've unleashed a demon." Nineteen Xiu's voice deepened, and she lowered her voice, hoarsely saying, "While Bo Xun may not be a good thing, the Immortal Powder No. 2 that you developed... it's a hundred times more terrifying than Bo Xun. It will devour an era!"

The formula for Divine Powder No. 2 has been completely leaked, with Qiu Shui likely playing a significant role in its dissemination. Although the government has forcibly requisitioned all the pollutants, there are simply too many ambitious people in this world. As long as the profits are sufficient, these unscrupulous individuals are willing to trample on anything.

Nineteen Xiu did not try to hide his anger too much.

Even if Divine Powder No. 2 truly existed in the world for four hundred years, the time it directly robbed, or rather, the lifespan, would probably still be less than that of Bo Xun. However, while a person consuming Bo Xun and Divine Powder wouldn't have any negative impact on society—in fact, he might even contribute more to productivity—Divine Powder No. 2, forget about productivity; it directly destroys all of a person's social value and will most likely completely destroy their family. This misfortune will also spread, causing the era to collapse entirely.

In order to suppress Bo Xun, a demon a hundred times more powerful and terrifying than it was released.

Wang Qiuping said calmly, "You've got it wrong. It's not that I released the demon, Shenxian San No. 2, to stop Bo Xun. It's that those people were willing to let go because Shenxian San No. 2 is a demon."

Yes, it's precisely because the Divine Powder II is so terrifying that countries around the world have reluctantly given up all the benefits it brought. If the Divine Powder II weren't so terrifying, no country would have let it go.

Nineteen Xiu said in a low voice, "You succeeded. Bo Xun will no longer harm this society, but... was it all really worth it?"

Yes, is it all really worth it?

It's like the eighth-position rebel is about to die, and there's a low-health lord in the first position next to him. The rebel chooses to kill the lord, but releases an awakened nameless swordsman from the Southern Qin... Is it really worth it?

"Of course it's not worth it."

Wang Qiushui's expression was calm, yet her words were like a thunderbolt. Not only was Shijiu Xiu stunned, but even Ying Qin Guan was dumbfounded, staring straight at Wang Qiushui, thinking, "Do you even know what you're saying?"

Not worth it?

Why would you do this if it's not worth it?!

However, Wang Qiushui remained calm and said, "The second Divine Immortal Powder will destroy an era. Its existence is too terrifying; its harm far surpasses that of a single Divine Immortal Powder..."

"Since you know—" Shijiu Xiu stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence, staring intently at Wang Qiushui, and then stopped talking.

She was hoping for a change in the situation. What she was really worried and angry about was that Wang Qiushui, knowing how dangerous the Divine Powder No. 2 was, still chose to release it in order to truly destroy Bo Xun. But now it seems that things have taken a turn for the better!

“Indeed,” Wang Qiushui said, “This is precisely why I came to find you… After developing the second version of the Divine Elixir, I didn’t dare to use it at all, and even considered destroying it, but ultimately, this Soul-Returning Powder appeared…”

Wang Qiushui tapped on the desk and uttered an ancient and mysterious syllable, instantly producing a document on it.

“I conducted experiments on animals, myself, a normal adult volunteer, and a relatively weak volunteer. We inhaled a large amount of Shenxiansan No. 2 and started using Huihunsan after confirming that we were completely addicted,” Wang Qiuping said calmly. “At most three courses of treatment, the medicine will cure the disease. The only side effect is a slight loss of taste.”

"Here is the recipe for the Soul-Returning Powder."

Wang Qiushui picked up the document and looked at the 19th revision.

"I lured you here so that I could give you this formula and give it to the world."

Nineteen Xiu's face lit up with joy, but she didn't step forward. As clever as she was, she had already figured out what was wrong.

"If you give me this... the magic powder, you will come back."

Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Second Bullet

Yes, the magic powder will come back.

If a drug that can clearly treat the symptoms of Shenxiansan No. 2 really comes into existence, then Shenxiansan will return, without a doubt.

Then what's the point of everything Wang Qiushui has done?

Isn't this all a complete waste of effort?!

Ying Qin Guan was also watching Wang Qiu Shui, his own curiosity piqued. Since they had already chosen to release Divine Powder No. 2, they should have done so. But then they created Soul-Returning Powder... All this back and forth hadn't changed anything; it was just that countless people would suffer the torment of Divine Powder No. 2 along the way...

Does this make sense?

Clearly, it's meaningless, even a complete side effect, unless... Wang Qiushui has a backup plan.

Let alone the Nineteenth Cultivation, even Ying Qin Guan could figure this out. So the two of them were waiting for Wang Qiu Shui to speak, and Wang Qiu Shui did not disappoint them.

Wang Qiushui stood up and said, word by word, "I have developed the Immortal Powder... No. 3! It still requires Bo Xun as a raw material, and its addictiveness is slightly lower than No. 2. But the Soul Returning Powder cannot cure it, and I have not developed anything that can cure it. If you dare, then go ahead and try it."

The meaning of these words is self-evident.

If you have a gun in your hand, you need to make others believe that it is loaded with bullets and that you can and dare to fire it before they will fear you.

Wang Qiushui had already used the second version of the Divine Powder to tell the world that she dared to fire. Then she told Nineteen Xiu that there was still one bullet in the gun!

The last bullet was fired, and a reviving agent helped control the situation and prevent it from spiraling out of control. But this bullet... doesn't have a corresponding reviving agent.

This cake from Bo Xun is right there; do you dare to touch it?

An individual, faced with such a huge pie, might choose to gamble and take a chance. But a nation is not an individual; a nation cannot gamble with such things. If it does, then that nation is beyond redemption.

Nineteen Xiu gave a wry smile.

She discovered that Wang Qiushui was a bit smarter than the history books described, which said she only knew how to use violence. Therefore, all her efforts had basically ended in failure. Now she had learned to use some different methods, but in essence, nothing had changed.

She used to threaten them with other people's lives.

It is still a threat now, but the things that are threatened and the targets of the threat are different.

Is this even a small step forward?

“Looking at Qiushui…you remind me of the Mu family, who are filled with fear.” Nineteen Xiu’s imposing manner had vanished, and he shook his head with a bitter smile.

For a period of time, the Mu family relied on fear to dominate the surrounding areas, winning precious development time for the newly established Seven Luminaries Empire.

Wang Qiushui's expression was hidden behind the mask; she remained silent, not uttering a single word.

“You win. I will report the truth when I get back. It’s too late to undo what has happened. I will try my best to persuade my father.”

Wang Qiushui nodded slightly and said calmly, "This is precisely why I chose you. I knew you would do this... In that case, please leave."

If it were someone else here, they might try to talk to Wang Qiushui and try to negotiate for Bo Xun's interests. But this is precisely why Wang Qiushui specifically named Shijiu Xiu. With her departure, the matter is settled and cannot be changed.

Nineteen Xiu didn't say anything more, and the two walked towards the documents on the table.

At this point in the discussion, it's practically impossible to take action. But one should always be wary... However, at this distance, among all the magicians in the world facing Ying Qin Pass, perhaps only Wang Qiushui could possibly escape.

Ying Qin Guan suddenly looked up.

Nineteen Xiu's expression tensed up, fearing that Ying Qin Guan might cause some trouble.

But Ying Qin Guan didn't think that far ahead. He thought for a moment and asked, "I didn't mean anything by it, I was just curious, so I'm asking... are you really Wang Qiushui?"

Wang Qiuping said calmly, "It's genuine."

"Well, a friend of mine wants to know something." After Nocturne told Ying Qin about Fear, he paid a little attention. "When Fear was used a second time, was it you who made the move?"

"Isn't there some stuff out there saying... that fear used the method of immortality to communicate with you, making you swayed?"

As Ying Qin Guan's voice faded, Shi Jiu Xiu turned around curiously to look at Wang Qiu Shui.

This is indeed a great mystery...

Wang Qiushui fell silent. Due to the mask, the two could not see her expression. After a moment, she spoke, and her voice sounded somewhat strange.

"...I suppose that's how it is."
