Chapter 10: Sky-high Price of Training!

Li An did not respond to Fan Xian's answer in the affirmative or negative way, but just fell into silence. In Fan Xian's view, this silence was equivalent to acquiescence.

He smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "It's incredible. There is nuclear radiation everywhere, but we are all fine. Humans, animals and plants are not harmed. Instead, these nuclear radiations have become substances that nourish us. You are right. This is the only way to explain Uncle Wuzhu's unusual origins."

Finally, Fan Xian's tone became even more resolute: "No matter what, Uncle Wu Zhu is my relative, not a robot. I will find out what Uncle Wu Zhu wants to do and let him live for himself!"

Fan Xian turned around and thanked Li An: "Thank you for telling me this today. I know that today's reward is far from enough to offset this information, so I owe you a favor."

"It's okay. I hope this information is helpful to you and won't have any negative impact on you," said Li An.

Let’s stop talking about this topic for now.

Fan Xian, who had learned part of the world's inside story in advance, did not intend to change anything, just like an ordinary person who knew the secrets of the universe in advance but still could not make any changes. If it were in the previous life, maybe someone would say something to change the world, but here no one could understand Fan Xian's words and would only think that he was mentally ill.

Apart from the fact that some additional changes might occur after informing Fan Xian in advance that he is the son of Emperor Qing, everything else is beyond Li Ang's control.

Li An reminded, "By the way, you will be entering Beijing soon. I want to remind you a few words as a friendly reminder. You will meet a lot of people. You can trust your first impression and give them some trust. But in the end, don't completely trust anyone except your Uncle Wu Zhu. Of course, that includes me."

"I will. I can feel that you must have many secrets that you haven't told me, but I believe you are well-intentioned and have your own considerations. In any case, you have told me enough today, and I still have to thank you. Let me check the rest myself!" Fan Xian said.

Li An nodded. Fan Xian might still be naive, but he was not stupid. Having said what he needed to say and taken what he needed to take, Li An prepared to say goodbye and leave.

"Today I learned that there are people like me in this world, and I feel very happy." Fan Xian said.

Li An responded, "Me too. Remember to let me know when you go to the capital, and I will go with you. I will live in the suburbs outside the city for a while, and you can send someone to inquire about my residence and find me there."

Watching Li An's departing back, Fan Xian also stood up and said to Wu Zhu, "Uncle, I'm right, right? Li An knows a lot of things."

Wu Zhu said coldly: "Do you want me to make him tell everything? I can feel that he has no martial arts skills."

"No, uncle, he is different from others." Fan Xian shook his head.

Wu Zhu nodded, and the night returned to tranquility again.

……

When Li An returned to the inn, it was already late at night. The alcohol was surging in his body, making his steps a little unsteady. Although the alcohol content of this wine was not high, Li An's body was obviously not very resistant to alcohol, making him feel a little drunk.

After a simple wash, Li An went to bed to rest. The quality of sleep of young people is always enviable. He fell asleep and soon fell asleep. His light snoring echoed in the quiet night.

The next day, the sun shone through the window onto Li An's face, waking him up from his sleep. It was already noon, and he called the waiter to bring some hot water to wash away the hangover discomfort. Then, he went downstairs to enjoy a simple lunch.

After finishing his meal, Li An began to pack his luggage. He greeted the counter and paid the accommodation fee. He had previously deposited a lot of silver with the boss, and now that he had decided not to continue living there, he naturally had to take it back. After all, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. After asking around in the city, Li An found a real estate "agent". In a secluded place in the suburbs, he rented a farmhouse. After paying a year's rent, he asked the owner to deliver vegetables and meat on time every day, and then settled down in this farmhouse.

Watching the owner and the "agent" slowly leaving, Li An took out the secret book and began to study it silently. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in the courtyard, stretching his shadow. Although Li An tried all day, he still couldn't find the secret book. However, he read the booklet several times, trying to understand something from it.

Ang Lee is well aware that his body structure is different from that of people in this world.

The so-called heaven and earth energy, or the true energy in the mouth of warriors, is actually the energy generated by nuclear radiation. Since coming to this world, he has also been exposed to nuclear radiation. However, he did not suffer any harm, which is probably because the system he has played a protective role. Li An recalled the time when he was unconscious when he first came to this world, and guessed that it was the system that forced him to shut down to activate the protection mechanism.

Opening the system panel, Li An saw, as expected, a new item in the skill column: Domineering Qi LV0: 0/10.

At the same time, there was an additional attribute item [Realm: Ordinary People]. He understood that he could not generate true qi without the imprint left by the previous era. Fortunately, he had a system that could increase the level of domineering true qi by consuming wealth points.

[Ding! Consume ten ounces of silver to increase the level of Domineering Qi from LV0 to LV1! ]

It's really expensive! One tael of silver plus a little skill experience, and this is just the most basic level.

Now the domineering true qi has become LV1:0/50. And the martial arts realm has become the first-class realm of warriors.

Looking at the wealth value of only 8223 taels, Li An was in a state of hesitation. Now that he had been transformed and could cultivate his true qi, should he work hard on cultivating it first? After all, he was less than taels of silver away from getting another chance to win the lottery! Now Li An really felt that this chance to win the lottery was very rare. He still had a year left, and he would be in Danzhou. There were not many places to make money, and if he spent the money, he would have nowhere to earn it.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and decided to improve his realm. Otherwise, he would have a hard time going to Beijing with Fan Xian in a year, without the ability to protect himself.

[Ding! Consume fifty taels of silver to increase the level of Domineering Qi from LV1 to LV2! ]

Domineering Qi LV2: 0/100. Warrior of the second rank!
[Ding! Consume 2 taels of silver to increase the level of Domineering Qi from LV3 to LV! ]

Tyrannical Qi LV3:0/500. Warrior of the third rank!
[Ding! Consume 3 taels of silver to increase the level of Tyrannical Qi from LV4 to LV! ]

Tyrannical Qi LV4: 0/1000. Warrior of the fourth rank!
[Ding! Consume 4 taels of silver to increase the level of Domineering Qi from LV5 to LV! ]

Tyrannical Qi LV5:0/5000. Fifth-grade warrior!
[Ding! Consume 5 taels of silver to increase Tyrannical Qi from LV6 to LV! ]

Tyrannical Qi LV6:0/10000. Warrior rank six!
When Li An reached the sixth rank of warrior, he stopped. It was not because he did not want to continue to improve, but because he no longer had enough wealth to support his improvement. Looking at the remaining 1573 taels of wealth, Li An fell into deep contemplation.

"Isn't this a rip-off?" Li An smiled bitterly. Now, to advance to the seventh level of warriors, 10,000 taels of silver are needed. At this rate of increase, the eighth level will require 50,000 taels of silver, and the ninth level will require 100,000 taels of silver! Not to mention the unattainable Grandmaster level. The system prompts that the difficulty of breaking through the limits of mortals is ten times higher than before, which means that a million taels of silver are needed!

Li An shook his head, trying to sober up. What is the concept of one million taels of silver? According to the ancient measurement unit, 16 taels equals one jin, so one million taels of silver is 31250 kilograms, which is a little more than tons! Not to mention tons of silver, even tons is enough to kill people! Moreover, this can be converted into taels of gold, which is equivalent to more than billion according to the current market value!
"More than 30 small goals, all relying on one mouth?" Li An thought desperately. He understood that even if he had more than 3 billion, it did not mean that he could enjoy life without worries. The road of practicing martial arts is full of challenges and hardships, and requires great efforts and sacrifices.

Li An took a deep breath and tried to calm his inner fluctuations. He knew that he needed to find a new way to obtain wealth to support his practice.
