"You don't need to doubt it, I am indeed a cultivator."

Facing the crowd's surprise and confusion, Elder Wu smiled faintly and stepped forward.

Then, in front of everyone, he demonstrated the ability to control objects through the air.

With a cultivation at the sixth level of the Pulse Condensation Realm, he could already project his spiritual energy outward; controlling objects from a distance was naturally not a difficult task.

In addition to this, he leaped up, jumping nearly thirty meters high, and then landed steadily on the ground.

All the scientific researchers present were stunned, their faces full of absolute shock.

They felt as if their entire worldview had collapsed.

They never expected that there actually existed a type of cultivator in this world who could be called supermen!

"Mr. Qin, these abilities that Elder Wu just demonstrated... can you do them too?" someone couldn't help but ask, looking at Qin Ning.

Qin Ning just smiled faintly and nodded.

"Mr. Qin's abilities are beyond your imagination. What I just showed you is mere child's play in his eyes. If we really had to make a comparison, I would be like an ant on the ground, while Mr. Qin is a true dragon soaring through the highest heavens. Can you understand this analogy?" Elder Wu said seriously.

The crowd was completely dumbfounded, feeling it was unbelievable to the extreme.

In front of Qin Ning, Elder Wu was only an ant?

And Qin Ning was a true dragon?

Just how massive of a gap was that?

Although this analogy sounded very straightforward, it still exceeded the limits of their imagination.

At this time, Lin Tiannan stepped forward and laughed, "Let me put it this way. Mr. Qin comes from the Earth civilization over a hundred light-years away. He can cross over a hundred light-years through deep space without relying on any external force, and it takes him less than a minute."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd finally had a more intuitive understanding of Qin Ning's capabilities.

At the same time, their hearts were shocked beyond measure.

Could someone in this world truly accomplish such a thing?

Obviously, judging from Lin Tiannan's description, this was no longer the realm of humanity.

But a true living god!

"Mr. Qin, you are already so powerful, so there must be many formidable cultivators on your Earth, right? Could it be that you are a cultivation civilization? If so, why would you even care about our technology?" someone asked out of curiosity.

"No."

Qin Ning shook his head. "You misunderstood. Earth is not a cultivation civilization. Just like your Planet Wei, it is also a technological civilization. The cultivators there are not strong. For example, with Elder Wu's strength, if he were on Earth, he could easily sweep away all the cultivators there."

"As for technology, it's pretty much the same. Take controllable nuclear fusion, for instance; our Earth currently hasn't been able to develop it either."

"I see."

Hearing this, the crowd suddenly realized the truth.

A white-haired old man asked, "Mr. Qin, so the reason you gathered us here today..."

Without waiting for him to finish, Qin Ning spoke directly, "Is to take you all to Earth to help my country complete scientific research in various fields."

"We can also go to an extraterrestrial civilization?"

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed excitement, yet they also seemed a bit apprehensive.

After all, it was a completely unfamiliar extraterrestrial civilization. They indeed wanted to go and see it, but it would definitely be a lie to say they weren't afraid.

"Don't worry, everyone. Earth's climate and environment are actually quite similar to your Planet Wei. Plus, with me taking you, a round trip only takes a minute. When the time comes, I will give you a special jade pendant. Normally, whenever you want to come back to visit your family or friends, you can use the jade pendant to summon me at any time. Or, if you want to bring your family along, that is fine too," Qin Ning said.

"I'll go!"

"I'll go too!"

Hearing his words, the crowd's worries completely vanished, and they all stepped forward, scrambling to be the first.

"Good. To thank you for the contributions you are about to make to my country, I will give you a grand gift in advance."

Qin Ning said with a smile, his gaze sweeping over them one by one before he continued, "Now you have two choices. One is to have your body and appearance completely restored to the state of a twenty-year-old. The other is to have your body become twenty years old, but your appearance remains unchanged. You decide whether to choose one or two."

"What do you mean?"

Hearing his words, everyone's faces were full of confusion.

They could understand every single word Qin Ning said, but when put together, they couldn't comprehend it.

What did he mean by becoming younger?

Was it the meaning they thought it was?

"It means exactly what you think it means," Qin Ning said.

Behind him, Lin Tiannan and Elder Wu couldn't help but swallow hard, their hearts shocked beyond measure.

Although they knew Qin Ning must be very strong, beyond their comprehension.

But they had never dared to imagine that he could actually accomplish something like this.

"Mr. Qin... is what you are saying true? Then what about a situation like mine..."

Just then, a snow-white-haired old man stepped forward. He leaned on a cane; he had lost his right leg many years ago but still persisted in his scientific research.

Qin Ning looked at him without speaking. Instead, he flipped his palm, took out a medicinal pill, and handed it to the man. "Eat it and give it a try."

"Alright."

The old man nodded heavily. Without hesitation, he placed the pill into his mouth in front of everyone.

These pills had all undergone a secondary refinement by Qin Ning. Their medicinal efficacy was far stronger than the ones he had initially given to Elder Zeng and the others, and their effects covered all aspects.

Following that, in less than three seconds, the sound of people gasping in shock echoed throughout the room.

Under everyone's gaze, the white-haired old man actually began to grow younger at a rate visible to the naked eye, eventually turning into a young man of about twenty years old.

Not only that, but his right leg, which had been lost for many years, had actually grown back!

"I, I... I am..."

Not to mention the surrounding crowd, even he, who was experiencing it firsthand, had a face full of disbelief at this moment.

Subsequently, Qin Ning distributed the pills to everyone else individually.

"Now you can call your families to say goodbye. We will depart in half an hour," Qin Ning said.

Soon, everyone took out their phones, dialed their relatives' numbers, and briefly informed them of the situation. However, they didn't mention that they were going to an extraterrestrial civilization; they merely said there was a very important mission and it might take some time before they could return.

While they were busy making their phone calls, Qin Ning turned his gaze to Elder Wu. "Keep having your people mine the jade on Planet Wei, and gather as much as you can. Once we have enough materials, I will try to construct a teleportation portal between Planet Wei and Earth. By then, they will be able to travel back and forth on their own. Although it won't be as fast as me personally bringing them across, a one-way trip still shouldn't take more than half an hour."
