Ling Xuan sat down on the ground of his room and contemplated deeply today’s events. “To use Qi as a pill that dissolves, not as a knife that remains inside the body” Ling thought to himself. Ling Xuan sat in meditation and started to attract Qi towards him. “Collect!” He opened his right palm and the Qi moved in its direction. Soon the Qi in Ling Xuan’s palm had formed something similar to a vortex. “”Close!” Ling Xuan then proceeded to close his palm which resulted in a relatively small shockwave that spread to his other body. “Shit that hurts!” Ling Xuan shook his hand. It was truly painful as the energy literally not only damaged his hand but also temporarily numbed his nerves. “I’ll have to try again, it seems” Ling Xuan sighed inwardly. He had thought that since he was a genius already yet it seems like he had overestimated himself. ………….. 2 hours had passed and the result of Ling Xuan’s hard work was questionable to say the least. The room was now filled with dust and many parts were damaged as well. In the centre sat Ling Xuan whose right arm was now red with the constant shockwaves. “Why…. Just why is this not working!” Carto was absolutely pissed off at the continuous failure of his efforts. “I am a transmigrated person with a literal computer! How can I fail here! I am not even a Grandmaster yet!” Ling Xuan was slowly being dragged into futility as the ropes of failure tightened. Yet suddenly he realised something. He was Ling Xuan but also Carto Harts, a person from another world where technology has advanced to far greater heights than this world. Carto punched himself in the face the moment he realised this fact. He had to look through the perspective of not Ling Xuan but Carto Harts, his original self. “What a fool I am, I have only inhabited this identity for some weeks and now I am starting to forget my actual identity.” Carto Harts mocked himself. “Now whenever I collect the Qi no reactions can be sensed that can endanger me, so perhaps the clue to mastering this technique lies in how I compress it” Ling Xuan deduced. Ling Xuan stood up from the floor and searched the room for something. “Aha! I got it!” Exclaimed Ling Xuan as he held a piece of paper in his hand. Paper in this world was rare due to the state of technology in this world. Only nobles could buy paper and use them. The paper Ling Xuan had in his hand was from his times in the Ling Clan. Ling Xuan began writing down the process of creating the “Qi attack pill” and also figuring out how to be able to perfectly make one. …………………… The next day arrived and Ling Xuan met up with Mu Feng in the stead. “You have broken through to the Adept stage!” Exclaimed Mu Feng as he examined Ling Xuan. “Yes Master, due to this junior trying to master the technique you taught me yesterday and due to this junior falling several times as well my right arm was refined by the innumerable Qiwaves that were produced due to the pill’s explosion, I apologise Master for disrupting your plans regarding my growth” Just as Ling Xuan was about to kowtow he was stopped by Mu Feng who held his shoulder to stop his action. “I presume you have mastered the Hidden Serpent Pill technique?” Asked Mu Feng but he inwardly knew the answer. “Yes Master, I have mastered the technique” Affirmed Ling Xuan. “Show it to me then” Mu Feng pointed to a tree beside him. Although he believed Ling Xuan, he thought that Ling Xuan still needed to apply the pill to the weapon. Ling Xuan took out his spear and steadied his breath. He took the stance of a spear thrust. Slowly Qi began to agglomerate near the head of the spear, forming a whirl. And then Ling Xuan thrust the spear in front of the tree. It did not stop until it touched the trunk. Yet no destruction happened. It looked like Ling Xuan had failed yet that would be wrong. Mu Feng’s eyes were filled with shock. “You have actually reached it’s perfect stage!” Exclaimed Mu Feng and as if on cue the tree burst apart from the inside with splinters be
