"What's your relationship with Yuanli Master?"
At this utterance, all were startled. Even the commoners sitting at the porridge stall couldn't help but look over here.
Who was Yuanli Master?
The universally acknowledged number one genius in Immortal Dao for the past eighty thousand years!
"If Heaven had not born Newton, the world would be as perpetual night!"
This youth actually had ties to Yuanli Master?
The young man simply smiled slightly but did not reply. Instead, he gestured with his hand and used a spell to call his apple back to him through the air. He inspected the apple and expressed a trace of surprise in his tone, "Half of it has been bitten off..."
The girl with a baby face imdiately beca anxious. She stuttered to Wang Qi, "S-S-S-Sorry! This guy didn't an any harm... You, you better hurry and find your own teachers and then retrieve the apple's flesh! Quick, quick, quick!"
The youth looked at the girl and started to laugh. He stood up, walked over to her, and then used the apple that was half-eaten to knock on her head, "Stop embarrassing yourself, Xiao Qian, this guy seems different..."
The girl was on the verge of crying, "That-that-that can't be okay! H-H-He will lose his own way!"
Although Mao Zimiao didn't know what was actually happening, having heard what the girl called Xiao Qian said, she at least understood one thing—the situation with Wang Qi didn't seem too good. The girl, concerned for Wang Qi, narrowed her eyes, her tail naturally drooping, her body low to the ground. Her qi chanism firmly locked onto the mysterious young man, "What exactly is going on?"
The youth looked at Mao Zimiao, his gaze sowhat haughty, "Little cat, are you planning to fight ?"
The half-demon girl's tone grew more dangerous, "Speak clearly, what did you do to that fruit!"
The young man smiled teasingly, "This is an Acquired Spiritual Object born out of a fortuitous coincidence..."
"That kid isn't capable of such advanced tricks," Wang Qi interjected, stepping in front of Mao Zimiao, "The apple of Yuanli Master, right?"
The young man's eyebrows lifted slightly, "You recognize this object?"
"I've eaten the small... peas of Jiyin Ancestor ndel," Wang Qi smirked strangely, "This apple, it contains a trace of understanding toward the three major Heavenly Principles, along with countless spells and restrictions based on the three major Heavenly Principles. As for your story about Yuanli Master, I find it hard to swallow."
Upon hearing Wang Qi's explanation, everyone turned their gaze toward the apple in the young man's hand.
Yuanli Master's apple! For Shenzhou Cultivators, its significance was akin to a handwritten book from the Supre Saint for scholars!
The youth, unaware of Ai Qinglan's terrible lines from that day, paid no mind to Wang Qi's odd expression. He rely expressed his surprise, "Your last na is ng? A mber of the ng Family?"
Wang Qi shook his head, "A fortuitous coincidence."
The young man nodded, "I am a descendant of Yuanli Master..."
"Lies, ow!" Mao Zimiao still didn't have a pleasant expression toward the young man, "Everyone knows that Yuanli Master was devoted to Seeking Dao and left no descendants."
The youth was not offended and explained, "Indeed. The distant ancestor had no progeny, and his father died young. However, the distant ancestor was raised by his maternal family, which is our Ai Family, and all items Yuanli Master left behind when he ascended were inherited by the Ai Family. Thus, it's not unreasonable for the Ai Family to claim descent from Yuanli Master. I am a descendent of the Ai Family from Split Peak, Ai Changyuan."
"Split Peak... from Langde Immortal Institute," Wang Qi revealed a slight smile, "Looks like this joint Martial Arts Examination is going to be interesting..."
Ai Changyuan glanced at Wang Qi, "Not going to find a place to refine the power of the apple? Though it's a tonic, the ancestor's insights might form preconceived notions in your mind."
Wang Qi sat down instead, smiling, "I'm not hung up over it."
Ai Changyuan, who was accustod to being lazy, didn't ask further. He turned the apple in his hand and bit a small piece from the side Wang Qi hadn't touched. After carefully chewing and swallowing, his whole body suddenly took flight.
Wu Fan exclaid in shock, "That's impossible! Walking on air, this is the Foundation Establishnt Stage!"
Wang Qi laughed and shook his head, "Used Newton's apple for a spell, not Foundation Establishnt."
─ Damn, this kid knows how to put on an act. His swagger is even higher than mine!
The girl nad Xiao Qian was still looking worriedly at Wang Qi, but seeing Ai Changyuan floating toward her, she imdiately changed her expression, "Eh, Changyuan you're... eh, eh, eh, don't, it's so embarrassing!"
"Shut up." With a gesture from Ai Changyuan, the girl suddenly felt the gravity on her disappear, and she floated lightly in the air. The girl hastily pinned down her flying skirt hem and protested, "Changyuan!"
"Ah, if it's urgent we can talk back ho!"
Once the two had departed into the distance, Mao Zimiao and Wu Fan finally took a seat back at the table. The cat-eared girl asked with concern, "Xiao Qi, how do you feel ow? Should I go find Senior Sister Ai to co over...?"
Since a mont ago, Wang Qi had been absentmindedly stirring the thin porridge in front of him. Hearing Mao Zimiao call him, he suddenly snapped back to reality and said, "Azimiao... I think I just realized a blind spot."
As he said this, his face was filled with rechannelled excitent. Unclear on how to respond to his fervor, Mao Zimiao ventured a tentative, "ow?"
Wang Qi excitedly slapped the table, stood up, and said, "ndel's peas, Newton's apple... these are two of the earliest 'Eureka' monts! That's right, the next one is definitely 'Pythagoras's Hamr,' then 'Thales's Hupo,' and 'Sul's Ruby'..."
Haha, Brother Tiandao, don't think I can't see through this! You're definitely soone who likes to play with obscure otaku references, aren't you? A normal transmigrator definitely wouldn't know this reference!
But! I've read that manga! So no use, no use, no use, no use!
Watching Wang Qi laughing wildly to himself, Mao Zimiao and Wu Fan looked at each other, perplexed, "What's he doing?"
"He's having a fit of madness, leave him be," suddenly spoke Zhen Chan.
Wang Qi picked up the bowl of Green Fish Porridge in front of him and said, "Co on! Let's embark on the journey to collect the 'Eureka' monts!"
He raised the bowl as if to drink it whole.
However, halfway to his lips, he stopped. He stared at the Green Fish Porridge for a few seconds before putting it down and stirring it again with his chopsticks.
Mao Zimiao covered her face, "Xiao Qi, you really don't have to force yourself to finish it, ow..."
Wang Qi stopped stirring, looked seriously at Mao Zimiao and Wu Fan, and said, "Take a look at this pattern, doesn't it look familiar?"
——————————————————————————————
PS1: "Eureka" as well as the references from "Newton's apple" to "Sul's Ruby" are all from the Jump manga HungryJoker, which is also about playing with Scientist references and unfortunately got axed.
PS2: 無駄=useless, this is a JOJO reference.
