Free Web NovelChapter 1050: Chapter 1046: Another Human Clan Member Has Gone Mad
The strangely resembling shopkeeper looked at him with an incredulous expression: "How could our handsome and charming Alien Race possibly have relatives in the human world?"
Huh?
Handsome? Charming?
Chen Pingping sized him up and down; two heads, still different, four arms, two hairy, two bare.
Those big feet could rival Lao Huang’s.
Just this?
And he claims to be "handsome"?
The shopkeeper ignored him, continuing to arrange his animal skins.
Behind him, Chen Pingping looked at his busy figure with pity, rendered speechless for a moment, and finally gave the evaluation: "Bumpkin!"
Then he passed by some dining establishments.
Honestly...
These places really looked unappealing; first of all, the surfaces, the wooden buildings were worn out and discolored, likely a strong wind could topple them over?
The grass by the entrance wasn’t cleaned, and there were mud piles accumulated.
Looks like a shady business in the wilderness.
Forget it!
I’m not hungry.
He wasn’t dying to eat; he just wanted to try the food of the Alien Race, as they say, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do!"
Of course, the urgent matter at hand was still changing to a new outfit.
For a brief moment, he considered using the power of the Great Emperor, suppressing the shopkeeper, and forcing him to tailor a garment for him.
Or perhaps go and snatch some Original Stones.
But? Those animal skins were just too ugly, if worn...
Chen Pingping’s scalp tingled, murmuring to himself: "When in Rome, hmm!" He found a muddy spot, and then... lay directly on it.
Until his clothes were soiled, and his whole body covered in mud and almost tasted a few bites.
Just then, several aliens passed by, exclaiming: "How terrifying, are humans under this much pressure nowadays? Another one has gone mad."
The "another" he mentioned caught Chen Pingping’s attention.
"Fellow cultivator..." Chen Pingping flashed a brilliant smile.
"I’m not called fellow cultivator."
"What then?"
"I’m called Yuan Qi," he said seriously.
Yuan Qi was a Profound-rank alien, generally similar in stature to the Human Clan, with very dark skin, two horns on his head.
Purple lips, and eyes also purple.
His fingernails were very long, slender and thin, giving a feminine impression.
Yet he was very robust.
Feet were somewhat large, just not as big as the shopkeeper’s...
Unsure of what species.
Chen Pingping chuckled: "Brother Yuan Qi, may I ask, what did you mean by ’another’?"
Yuan Qi realized, he was looking for another person, then spoke: "There was a human who came before, now he’s gone mad."
"Where?" Chen Pingping was curious.
For some reason, being in such an inexplicable world, suddenly hearing of a Human Clan appearance, he felt a sense of closeness, like meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land.
"Previously seen over by Eastern Mausoleum, now I don’t know where they’ve gone!" Yuan Qi shook his head: "Are you from the human world?"
"Yes!"
"Based on how you speak, you seem normal, not showing signs of madness, why were you lying in the mud puddle?" Yuan Qi asked.
"Mainly wanted to change into new clothes, but I don’t have any Original Stones."
"So?"
"Dirty up a bit, When in Rome."
"Our animal skin clothes are very clean though." Hearing Chen Pingping’s answer, Yuan Qi was immediately dissatisfied: "Comfortably cool to wear, unlike your Human Clan’s dress, all tightly wrapped, isn’t it hot?"
"..."
Unsure how to explain, Chen Pingping simply closed his mouth.
Yuan Qi continued: "You can barter for clothing if you have no Original Stones."
Chen Pingping went silent again.
"Really? You have nothing of value on you?" Yuan Qi was amazed, then muttered to himself: "Looks like the rumors are true, Humans are so poor they can’t even afford food."
"That earlier guy too, hadn’t eaten for days, quite pitiful..."
"But, no money for food, does the human world have no tree bark or roots?" Yuan Qi frowned, lost in thought.
After a while, he came back to his senses: "Alright then! Follow me into Eastern Mausoleum, a month’s stay will earn you five Original Stones, and once I leave Eastern Mausoleum, we part ways, how about that?"
Are you mocking me?
Five Original Stones?
Is this stuff really that valuable?
Not waiting for Chen Pingping to respond, Yuan Qi came forward, with a flick of his finger, conjured a giant water droplet, and sent it splashing towards Chen Pingping.
Onlookers were filled with envy: "Brother Qi’s innate skill, Water Pearl."
Though not very offensive, somewhat useless, but after all, it’s an innate skill!
Among the Alien Race, as Profound-rank beings, comprehending an innate skill is incredibly difficult, so having one is better than none.
This is also why they traveled together to Eastern Mausoleum; it’s rumored that within the Human Emperor’s dojo, there is an odd original force cultivation method that guarantees one the insight to an innate skill.
But it’s just hearsay.
As Chen Pingping witnessed it, he felt a bit dazed, it felt different, unlike Human Clan’s Spirit Qi-based cultivation skill...
Water Pearl was water-attribute, yet earlier he didn’t perceive the Five Elements force in the world.
Just by a casual flick from Yuan Qi, Water Pearl appeared.
The emanating power fluctuations felt significantly different, hard to pinpoint the divergence.
Is this original force cultivation?
The mud freshly splashed on him was suddenly washed clean, Chen Pingping was baffled, but didn’t rebuff Yuan Qi any further.
During their journey, Chen Pingping intermittently inquired about Eastern Mausoleum and the various aspects of original force cultivation.
The more he listened, the more amazed he was.
How do the internal organs cultivate?
What exactly is original force?
Innate skills seem immensely impressive.
Eastern Mausoleum!
Hmm!
Mixed blood alien race territory?
Oh, there is an imminent Lingyun dojo opening.
So, it seems Great Emperor Lingyun did not stop in the Void God Realm, must have entered the Heavens and myriad realms.
Did he cultivate original force?
Founding a dojo in Eastern Mausoleum suggests he must have had some enlightenment.
Chen Pingping thought of many things, seems Eastern Mausoleum is a necessary visit, he recalled what the old Taoist Sect elder said: "Paving the road for those who come after."
"You humans from the human world, do you all look as ugly as you?" An alien suddenly spoke.
Ugly.
In an alien’s worldview, this encompasses many aspects, for instance, thinness; Chen Pingping was too thin, lacking a robust physique, which is considered ugly.
Then there’s appearance, excessively peculiar, lacking masculine character traits, no hints of bravery, also considered ugly.
Chen Pingping smiled slightly: "Yes, I’m considered alright there, others are even uglier."
Hearing this, the alien showed extreme disgust: "No wonder humans are oppressed by Divine Clan, with such ugliness, is it feasible?"
"Oh right, are you a cultivator?" Someone asked. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Kind of."
"Strong?"
"Average."
"Hmm... doesn’t matter, there’s no need to be excessively insecure; anyway, human cultivators have hardly any combat usefulness in the Void God Realm, so strength is irrelevant."
Chen Pingping stayed silent, these aliens with god-like innate superiority, is it because Divine Clan oppresses Humans? They think Humans should be weak?
Or perhaps, believing the Divine Clan hasn’t acted against them because of the Alien Race’s inherent might?
