Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day

Chapter 1063 - 765: Loyalty Contract? Lie Detection Contract!

Yan Jinjin wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead and replied, "Master, I have long sensed that there is no Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this world. Even if I offer the cultivation technique, Master will have no way to proceed. It’s not that I’m unwilling to offer my cultivation technique, but if Master insists, I dare not disobey."

"Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?" Li Zheng exchanged glances with the terminal, "Is there really such a thing?"

The terminal pondered for a moment and said, "No problem, just contribute your cultivation technique without holding back, then leave the rest to us."

Li Zheng also thought it over. He was just curious about how the so-called cultivators condensed their spiritual bodies into nascent souls, and whether there is a method of "Qi Refining" doesn’t matter.

"That’s right, just offer the cultivation technique; you don’t need to worry about the rest."

With Li Zheng and the terminal saying so, Yan Jinjin had no choice but to comply, as he was now completely under their control and could only obediently hand over a piece of his cultivation technique.

He silently recited the so-called "Golden Light Beidou Sword Technique" that he practiced, leaving a loophole with a few traps embedded within.

After he finished reciting, Li Zheng suddenly said, "I didn’t catch that; say it again."

Yan Jinjin was momentarily stunned, then recited it word for word again.

Li Zheng noticed that as Yan Jinjin recited a few points, the contract rune slightly heated up, indicating apparent deceit.

Without further ado, Li Zheng glared, unleashing his spiritual power to beat Yan Jinjin, "You bastard! I gave you two chances and you still dare to lie? Do you think I’m doing you a favor?"

"I dare not, I dare not!" Yan Jinjin cried out in pain, begging, "I’ll correct it!"

"Correct it immediately!" Li Zheng transformed his spiritual power into hundreds of fists, beating Yan Jinjin while warning, "I’ll stop once you correct it. Dare to lie again, and I’ll shred your nascent soul and erase your consciousness!"

Yan Jinjin immediately pointed out the false parts and replaced them with the correct cultivation technique, rolling in pain from the beating.

Li Zheng checked the contract imprint, confirmed he wasn’t lying this time, then stopped and angrily scolded, "Couldn’t you be honest earlier? Had to be beaten up first, you’re truly shameless!"

At the same time, he sighed in his heart, acknowledging that Yan Jinjin’s nascent soul had its unique qualities. If Mudala were here, his orders would be executed thoroughly without any deceit.

This indicated that although both Yan Jinjin and Mudala had used the contract on him, Yan Jinjin was affected less significantly than Mudala, which should be due to the change brought by the nascent soul.

"Why is it that I understand every word of this so-called cultivation technique separately, but together I can’t understand it at all?" The terminal displayed a text on the screen, calling Yan Jinjin over to correct parts where pronunciation and meaning differed, eventually forming a three-thousand-character article mostly composed of rare characters.

"What the two of you might not know is, this cultivation technique is merely a general outline; each word needs to be broken down into its meaning, and only the final composition is the true cultivation technique." Yan Jinjin explained earnestly, "In our place, this is mainly to prevent the cultivation technique from being leaked and stolen; only oral transmission ensures its true meaning..."

Suddenly, he noticed Li Zheng frowning and felt panic in his heart, "I’ll mark the explanations for Master immediately, no rush!"

He then floated over to the supercomputer display and assisted the terminal in integrating the complete cultivation technique.

Things like Qi Sensing, Energy Introduction, Qi Refining.

Things like Dantian, meridian, Purple Mansion Palace.

Honestly, straightforwardly, all explained clearly without errors or omissions.

This process took over three hours to complete.

Li Zheng listened in a daze, "So, the essence of everything is in ’Qi,’ and without ’Qi,’ having a cultivation technique is empty talk?"

"Qi is the foundation of cultivation, forming the basis for cultivation," Yan Jinjin said, "Without the existence of Qi, a cultivation technique is merely complex text without practical value."

"Is that so?" Li Zheng’s expression darkened, "If it has no practical value, why were you reluctant to hand it over?"

This bastard, truly dishonest!

Seeing Li Zheng about to make a move again, Yan Jinjin hurriedly said, "But there is an alternative method!"

"Tell me more." Li Zheng held back the urge to beat Yan Jinjin.

"According to the cultivation technique, a cultivator must introduce Qi into the body, using the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi for personal use," Yan Jinjin said uncertainly, "However, as far as I know, cultivation is not limited to Qi Refining; there are other techniques. For instance, Demon Cultivators train only the body, breaking techniques with force, while Demon Cultivators specialize in the Primordial Spirit and soul, feeding on human thoughts."

"Is that so?" Li Zheng’s eyes were clear, "But this seems unrelated to your reluctance to hand over the cultivation technique, doesn’t it?"

Yan Jinjin immediately felt embarrassed, stammering, "If Master can find a substitute for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, Qi Refining techniques can actually be utilized."

"A substitute for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?" Li Zheng mused, where could one find such a thing?

According to the method described in the cultivation technique, one must use ’Qi’ to nurture ’Spirit.’ Only through ’Qi’ can the ’Spirit’ gradually strengthen, eventually undergo transformations, become a nascent soul, and then break through to primordial spirit.

But Outer City lacks the so-called ’Qi,’ so there’s no way to nurture ’Spirit’ with ’Qi.’

This is a dead end.

"Genetic Force!"

The terminal suddenly said, "I have always been curious why Genetic Force, a power originating from within the human body, doesn’t have a systematic method to strengthen it, making it very awkward. But if we could modify the cultivation technique and use Genetic Force as a substitute, would it be feasible?"

Genetic Force?

Li Zheng was taken aback. When he first awakened his spiritual power, he had attempted to observe himself with it, knowing that Genetic Force is actually a strange power born within the cells.

Typically, this power continues at the connection point between the chest and abdomen, and when triggered with weak spiritual power, it condenses into corresponding attack or defense and assistance methods according to certain genetic segments.

Because this method is executed through genetic segments, its power and strength are generally fixed.

Unless one can acquire an ability like "Shaping," which allows variability, making combinations with some variation possible, although very limited.

For this reason, Genetic Ability is only suitable for those who haven’t matured, with weaker self-protection capabilities.

Once one grows to a certain degree, Genetic Ability loses its usefulness to them.

Like when Li Zheng previously encountered several Outer City residents during a Matrix mission, some were dismissive and disdainful of Genetic Ability.

The awkwardness of Genetic Ability and Genetic Force lies in their rigid nature, lacking stable methods for strengthening.

If a method could be researched to enhance these abilities, Genetic Force would undoubtedly become a future major weapon against twisted creatures!

"Let’s give it a try!" Li Zheng thought with some excitement.

Maybe in the future, they can also become the so-called "cultivators"?

The terminal pondered for a moment, proposing the first challenge, "Then the first thing we have to solve is understanding what a ’Dantian’ actually is."
