...
About two hours later.
Outside the Lin family villa, a large group of armed soldiers escorted three large trucks to the location.
"Mr. Qin, the trucks are filled with jades I had people gather from all over Jianghai City. Please take a look and see if they meet your requirements," Elder Wu said, ordering his men to open the backs of the three trucks.
Inside, they were packed with various boxes. Within these boxes were exquisite cases containing a wide variety of jades and jewelry.
Qin Ning swept his divine sense over them and found that there were as many as thirty thousand pieces of jade and jewelry. Surprisingly, the quality of every single piece met the requirements to be refined into spirit stones.
This showed that the overall quality of jade on Planet Wei was vastly superior to that on Earth; the mineral resources here were extremely abundant.
Buzz!
The space vibrated slightly. With a gentle raise of his hand, Qin Ning stored all the jewelry into his storage space, making them vanish from the trucks.
This scene instantly left Elder Wu and the others dumbfounded.
As a Grandmaster, and the number one Grandmaster at that, Elder Wu could naturally manipulate objects through the air.
However, making objects vanish out of thin air was a method that completely exceeded his imagination.
Qin Ning ignored their astonishment and began refining the jades directly within his storage space.
Having successfully broken through to the Immortal Emperor Realm, many things were now nothing more than a mere thought for him.
A few seconds later, he flipped his palm and brought out two hundred spirit stones. He divided them into two portions, giving one to Elder Wu and the other to Lin Tiannan, providing them with a hundred stones each.
"Consider these as your rewards. Take them and cultivate well," Qin Ning said.
These spirit stones were entirely different from the ones he had given Qin Fei and the others earlier. Refined by someone in the Immortal Emperor Realm, the energy contained within these spirit stones was naturally much denser.
It was no exaggeration to say that with Elder Wu's current cultivation at the sixth level of the Pulse Condensation Realm, if he absorbed all one hundred spirit stones, it might even allow him to break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm!
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!"
The two men were overjoyed and hurriedly bowed in gratitude.
"Are the documents ready?" Qin Ning asked.
Elder Wu replied, "I just received a call from the capital five minutes ago. The information you requested has been fully compiled, and the personnel have mostly assembled."
"Alright, then let's head over now," Qin Ning nodded.
"Very well, Mr. Qin. I'll arrange a flight right away," Elder Wu said, reaching for his phone.
"No need."
Qin Ning waved his hand dismissively. Then, raising his hand slightly, an invisible force enveloped Elder Wu, Lin Tiannan, and Lin Yuting.
In the next moment, the bodies of the four people vanished from where they stood.
Swoosh!
Only about two seconds had passed when Qin Ning and the others appeared out of thin air on the plaza of a massive research base in the capital.
"This..."
The three of them were still in a daze, completely unable to comprehend what had just happened.
When they finally snapped out of it, Elder Wu was shocked to discover that they had actually arrived at the highest research base in the capital!
How was this possible?
Only two or three seconds had passed.
What just happened?
"Call everyone over," Qin Ning instructed.
"Al... alright, please wait a moment, Mr. Qin."
Snapping out of his shock, Elder Wu quickly pulled out his phone and made a call.
Not long after, over a hundred figures walked over from the direction of the plaza entrance. They were all Planet Wei researchers who would follow Qin Ning to Earth, each an expert in various fields.
"Elder Wu."
As the crowd approached, they all greeted Elder Wu.
Most of them still didn't know why they had been summoned. One of them couldn't help but ask, "Elder Wu, summoning us so suddenly, is there an important mission?"
"That's right."
Elder Wu nodded. "An unprecedented event."
"Unprecedented?"
Everyone paused, confusion showing on their faces.
"Haven't you all always been curious about whether aliens truly exist in this universe?"
Elder Wu smiled and continued, "Now, that question has been answered."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, the crowd looked even more bewildered.
"This is Mr. Qin. He comes from an extraterrestrial civilization, which is what you would understand as an alien," Elder Wu stated.
Extraterrestrial civilization?
Alien?
Hearing these words, the researchers were astonished, and their gazes all turned toward Qin Ning.
This is an alien?
He didn't look like one at all.
He was worlds apart from the fictional aliens shown on TV.
Wasn't he just a normal human being, exactly like them?
"I know everyone must have a lot of questions. However, I can tell you with certainty that I do count as an alien."
Qin Ning smiled faintly and took a step forward. "I come from a planet called Earth. The civilization there isn't actually much different from yours. It's about a hundred and thirty light-years away from your Planet Wei."
"A hundred and thirty light-years?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked, their faces filled with even more doubt.
"Mr. Qin, if that is truly the case, how did you get here? Has your civilization already developed light-speed engines?"
Even with Planet Wei's technology, they could currently only reach one-tenth the speed of light at best.
A distance of a hundred and thirty light-years...
At Planet Wei's current maximum speed, it would still take a thousand and three hundred years of flight to arrive.
"I am different from the ordinary humans you know. I am a cultivator from Earth," Qin Ning explained.
"A cultivator? Mr. Qin, what do you mean by that? Is it what I think it is? Like the immortals in TV shows?"
The crowd clicked their tongues in disbelief, seemingly even more dumbfounded.
Because on Planet Wei, many people were actually unaware of the existence of cultivators.
"Elder Wu is a cultivator. I thought you all knew. What, did you really not know?" Qin Ning was slightly taken aback.
Elder Wu spoke up, "Uh... they indeed don't know that I am a cultivator. Only Old Lin and a small minority of fellow cultivators know about it. Furthermore, I must clarify, I didn't become the Head of State relying on my Grandmaster strength. I've had extremely high political talent since I was young."
"Elder Wu is also a cultivator?" The researchers present were all stunned.
As researchers, the education they had received since childhood was all related to science.
Weren't these so-called cultivators just fabrications from novels and TV shows?
How could such people actually exist in this world?
But now someone was telling them that their Head of State, Elder Wu, was a cultivator?
Wait!
Now that even an alien like Qin Ning had appeared, maybe cultivators weren't such a strange concept after all?
agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life.

However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink.

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
