Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Mountain God In the line of sight, the giant creature stood over a hundred feet tall, its entire body a dark ink color, nearly completely blending into the night. It had four legs, resembling a Pegasus, but the most terrifying aspect was its neck topped with a human face, not a horse’s head! On the human face’s forehead grew two sharp long horns, and the lush facial hair hung down like a horse’s mane. "This is..." Qin Jin stared at the figure, recognizing its identity. "Horse-headed God." Information he had obtained from memories of his past life told him this giant creature was one of the Mountain Gods recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. At this moment, it was galloping within the Great Wilderness, its body as heavy as ten thousand tons, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Divine Light emanated from its eyes, seemingly searching for something. Its massive size belied its astonishing speed, and within a few breaths, the sound of its footsteps had completely faded. Qin Jin’s sight no longer contained its figure. "Golden Crow, Mountain God." "Within this Great Wilderness, it’s likely filled with many Divine Beasts and alien species from the Classic of Mountains and Seas." "What might the ancient relic species that destroyed the Sacrificial Fire Tribe look like?" Qin Jin’s heart stirred: "In the depths of the Great Wilderness, could Bai Ze, Qilin, those well-known Divine Beasts and auspicious beasts exist?" "I wonder what kind of abilities such beings possess, and how resistant they are to technology side weapons." "Someday, if I were dressed in a truly top-tier combat mecha, or commanding a giant combat starship, or even a Star Fortress, facing these entities..." His thoughts began to wander, and upon reaching this point, he actively stopped his imagination. "One shouldn’t aim too high." "A thousand-foot building rises from the ground. I’ve already had the chance for opportunities, and now I must remain grounded." As his thoughts passed by, the waves in his mind caused by witnessing mythical creatures gradually calmed. When he first arrived at the Great Wilderness, he had witnessed the Three-legged Golden Crow, but since it was in the sky and appeared in its great sun form, it inevitably felt somewhat illusory. The Mountain God he saw now was a direct confrontation, and if he had a foolish thought, he could even personally approach it, inevitably causing some ripples in his mindset. In a short period, the Horse-headed God had already run far away, the sound of footsteps completely vanished, its whereabouts unknown, and the night-covered Great Wilderness returned to silence. A thought moved, the Bronze Gate on the panel flickered, and the Deep Driller departed from the Great Wilderness. ... Inside the old warehouse. Leaping out from the mining machine’s cockpit, Qin Jin raised his arm to check the communications device on his wrist. The first message that popped up was from Wen Jinglun. "Qin Jin, your combat technique application has been approved. You can directly go to the school library to receive the Secret Record." "The Secret Record comes with teaching instructions. If you have any questions, come directly to my house." [Combat Technique] In Xinyang District School’s martial arts curriculum, after initially mastering the Breathing Technique, students will also learn some simple attacking techniques to lay a foundation. But after breaking through the Newborn Realm, they must learn Combat Techniques! This is the special martial technique used by the Martial Arts Family to fight using Life Energy, marking a step into the extraordinary. There was no information from other people in the wristwatch. After replying to Wen Jinglun, Qin Jin brushed the panel slightly and entered the Dusk Star trading platform. Several days passed, and he received numerous trade messages about the Fire Python Crystal Core; some offered direct prices while others asked detailed inquiries. At this time, after carefully filtering through, Qin Jin finally settled on an information. "F-Level Energy Crystal Core for 200,000 Star Yuan, E-Level for 400,000, and D-Level for 1 million, with further prices depending on quality increases." "Can negotiate in person." The other party’s transaction account had excellent credibility, with their current location not hidden, being right on Mining Star. The price offered was one of the best quoted. After a moment of thought, Qin Jin responded. "Set a time." The reply popped up shortly after the message was sent. "Any time in the next two days is fine, you decide the place." Seeing this, Qin Jin’s eyebrow raised slightly before responding. "Tomorrow noon, Xinyang Residential Area, I’ll contact you with the exact location then." "Okay." After receiving the response, Qin Jin closed the panel, his gaze stretching long. Having decided to trade the resources within the Great Wilderness, such offline transactions would inevitably need to be faced sooner or later. Currently, as a Sacrificial Spirit of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe, he also had Wish Power as a trump card, fearing no risk. Turning around, Qin Jin climbed the high ladder, beginning maintenance and care of the Deep Driller. In the foreseeable timeline, this mining-type mecha was his shell in the Great Wilderness, requiring careful attention. As the end approached. The notification sound of a visitor arose in the warehouse. Qin Jin turned around, jumped off the high ladder, and unlocked the front door. The door opened, revealing a graceful silhouette standing charmingly outside. Yan Yue. She was dressed simply, her hair tied in a ponytail, and upon seeing Qin Jin, she grabbed his hand: "Come on, my dad’s calling you over for dinner." "Uncle Yan?" Qin Jin was slightly surprised, following her out of the warehouse while closing the door and asking: "He could’ve just sent me a message, no need for you to come all the way." "Just in case you wouldn’t come." Yan Yue replied: "Qin Jin, you haven’t visited our house in a while; lately you’ve been leaving early and returning late every day. Your mecha’s already repaired, what have you been up to lately." "Of course, busy cultivating." As they walked side by side, Qin Jin teased: "To take Miss Yan on an adventure, I dare not slack off one bit." "Stop that." Yan Yue’s expression became more serious, looking at him: "My dad seems to have some serious matters to discuss with you." "Qin Jin, what’s your Life Index now?" "Why ask this?" "I overheard him while he was on a call, it has something to do with that Spiritualist." "Spiritualist?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖 "Yes, it seems the person will be coming to Mining Star soon." Upon mentioning this, Yan Yue paused slightly: "If it truly is that Spiritualist, you better perform well when the time comes." "A martial genius from a remote area being valued by a big figure, with investments, soaring to the skies, Qin Jin, I’ve even thought of the script for you!" Qin Jin’s gaze lowered. Spiritualist. This was the direction he remembered most deeply after contacting information on evolution routes. If the Martial Arts Family is the popular choice, with a low entry difficulty, then the Spiritualist is the highest threshold evolution route! Spiritual Energy. This is one of the Primordial Energies in the universe, and only those who awaken relevant talents can embark on this unique evolution path. Every Spiritualist is aptly called the universe’s favorite. Compared to the Martial Arts Family, Spiritualists belong to the extremely noble class of techniques profession. Thoughts flashed in his mind. Qin Jin looked at Yan Yue beside him and suddenly spoke: "Yan Yue, I’ve broken through to the Newborn Realm." "What did you say?" Yan Yue froze. "I said, I’m already in the Newborn Realm." Seeing Yan Yue’s shocked expression, Qin Jin chuckled: "Surprised, aren’t you?" "That was so sudden." Yan Yue’s shocked look persisted, her gaze complicated as she glanced at him: "It turns out you’ve been diligently cultivating after all during your daily early leaves and late returns." "Quietly working hard, Qin Jin, there’s already a thick barrier between us." Before Qin Jin could respond. She pulled Qin Jin along, quickening her pace. "You broke through to the Newborn Realm; my dad has to fulfill his promise to me now." "No matter the original situation of that Spiritualist, they are in for something now." Qin Jin also quickened his steps. As he watched Yan Yue’s side profile, he felt much more relaxed inside. In the Great Wilderness, as the elevated Sacrificial Spirit, he constantly maintained a serious demeanor. This moment was the most relaxing time. The two continued jogging, heading home. Yan Yue’s home was right next to Qin Jin’s. Upon pushing open the door, before Qin Jin could speak, Yan Yue’s voice rang out first. "Dad, Dad!" "Qin Jin has entered New Life!"
