Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Qi Yuan who likes to help Monsters_1

The first exercise Aunt Qin attempted was push-ups.

She bent down with the ladder on her back.

As her palms made contact with the dirt, she couldn’t perceive anything special.

"It is possible...it’s all nonsense?"

With this thought in mind, Aunt Qin began doing push-ups.

One must mention, a push-up done by an individual in a silk satin gown appeared rather discordant.

But, in just a breath’s time, Aunt Qin had completed one push-up.

Aunt Qin initially showed an exasperated smile thinking she didn’t feel the operation of her Cultivation Technique or genuine power during the push-up exercise.

Could she become stronger without those?

Your concerns would be in vain, as the next moment when she finished her first push-up, a special transformation took place.

Jin Li immediately asked: "Aunt Qin, how do you feel?"

But Aunt Qin was stunned.

"I... I feel... as if my body has become somewhat stronger."

"What?" The people present exclaimed in astonishment.

Can physical exercise really make someone stronger?

"What do you mean by ’somewhat stronger’?" Fairy Hua quickly asked.

She was afraid Aunt Qin was being elusive to save Queen Jin Li’s face with that answer.

Aunt Qin then said seriously: "A single push-up alone was as effective as... an hour of my cultivation."

"What!" The people present were all shocked.

One push-up equals an hour of cultivation.

Isn’t that exaggerating?

"Doesn’t that mean that less than ten thousand push-ups would equal a year of cultivation?" Fairy Hua did a quick calculation and was immediately shocked.

"If this is true, wouldn’t a day’s training here be equivalent to a decade of training in the outside world?"

The crowd was utterly astounded.

Do push-ups enhance cultivation?

What’s the principle?

Where could such things happen?

Simply incomprehensible!

This felt as absurd as saying that eating a meal, drinking some water, or even farting could lead to a breakthrough in cultivation.

The crowd was amazed beyond words, but despite their confusion, everyone started to do exercises.

Thus, all thirty trusted aides began doing exercises with their ladders on their backs inside the Xuanyuan Prohibited area.

They were all cultivators, with powerful strength, and they were doing push-ups with astonishing speed, creating an amazing spectacle.

Had Qi Yuan’s previous world seen this, it would’ve definitely been labelled as awesome.

Of course, if this clip was shared online, the comment section would be flooded with responses like, "Not bad", "I could do that!", "I have a friend...".

After all, the comment section is filled with all kinds of talented people.

"I... I’ve broken through!"

"I broke the bottleneck that has troubled me for three years!"

"Doing push-ups is truly beneficial for breaking through the bottleneck!"

The people present were all astounded, as they did push-ups at a quick pace and shared their feelings.

In just half an hour, three out of the thirty-odd people present had consecutive breakthroughs.

Two of them had minor breakthroughs, while one had made a major breakthrough.

"Quickly try other exercises."

Naturally, they didn’t stick to push-ups only, but also tried other exercises.

Pull-ups, which were a bit challenging with the ladder on their backs, could still be done.

Also, doing pull-ups could enhance their strength and cultivation, focusing on different areas.

Some chose pull-ups, while others stuck to push-ups.

"But, how can one do sit-ups with a ladder on their back?"

"Carrying the ladder on the back? It doesn’t necessarily have to be carried on the back, even carrying it with your feet will work!"

"Put the ladder upright, hook it up with your feet and do sit-ups."

Everyone was careful and tried this method.

It turned out it really worked, and it even quickly increased their cultivation.

Some people laid their ladders horizontally in the air and hooked it with their feet to do sit-ups.

Anyway, they were all cultivators, and even those difficult postures which would challenge a dancer seemed easy for them.

The crowd was continuously doing exercises like push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups... It was a bustling sight.

Jin Li looked over at Aunt Qin and asked, "Aunt Qin, how are you doing?"

Aunt Qin’s face was flushed, and her spiritual aura had become even deeper.

She continued to exercise: "I feel... ecstatic!"

Even supreme sovereigns might not have this ability.

His Majesty’s good friend is truly an extraordinary person."

Thinking of Qi Yuan, Jin Li’s expression became complicated, a heavy sense of inferiority overwhelming her.

However, considering her current predicament, she didn’t have the time to ponder about other things.

"Aunt Qin, how long will it take for you to break through to the Emperor level here?" Jin Li asked.

Only by reaching the Emperor level could they secure a complete victory in the agreed battle a few days later.

"It will only take two days for me to step into the Emperor level!" Aunt Qin confidently said.

Originally, she was already in the later stage of the King level.

Advancing her cultivation in Xuanyuan’s forbidden ground was as easy as drinking water.

Becoming an Emperor level was a matter of course!

That was the Emperor level!

She was incredibly excited inside.

Hearing this, Jin Li felt a weight lifted off her heart.

Looking at everyone, she seemed to remember something and said softly: "There’s something I forgot to tell you.

Conducting these exercises to advance one’s cultivation in Xuanyuan’s forbidden ground has certain side effects."

Hearing this, the joy in everyone’s hearts dissipated a bit.

Right, this makes sense.

If there were no side effects to such significant advancement in cultivation that’d be unreasonable.

"We are willing to die for His Majesty!" They stopped their exercises, shouting in unison, seemingly ready to throw their lives away.

In their eyes, such a heaven-defying method to increase cultivation would surely have horrifying side effects.

Aunt Qin also declared solemnly: "I am willing to die for His Majesty, without regret!"

Seeing this, Jin Li was both moved and amused: "The side effects aren’t that frightening, it won’t kill you."

A weight lifted from everyone’s hearts.

The head of the Imperial Guards, Hua Xian, looked at Jin Li and asked slowly: "What are the side effects?"

"Becoming strong... might cause hair loss."

"Lose hair?"

"Actually, lose hair?"

"Just that?"

Everyone was shocked.

They were shocked, is that all?

Such a huge increase, and the side effect is just hair loss.

Forget about losing hair, to increase their cultivation, in the Nanqian Kingdom some even castrated themselves to practice evil cultivation.

Compared to that, what’s wrong with losing some hair?

That was not a problem at all!

A woman who had just made a major breakthrough smiled, "I had lost dozens of hairs during my previous breakthrough, didn’t know why, so that’s the reason."

Forget about losing dozens of hairs, even if all the hairs on their body were to be shed for a breakthrough, they’d be willing.

At this time, a bald woman from the Imperial Guards asked: "I have no hair... what will I lose?"

People looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

...

Time flies quickly.

Qi Yuan hunted the gown-wearing monster again.

Now, he had reached level 88 after such a period of hard work.

He killed a gown-wearing monster with a single stroke of his sword.

Unfortunately, these gown-wearing monsters couldn’t speak, couldn’t scream.

Suddenly, the expression on Qi Yuan’s face changed critically.

"It hurts so much!"

The cries of pain echoed, his face winced in agony, clutching his stomach, "My body... is going to... break apart."

But quickly, seeing the gown-wearing monster turned into fragments, he showed a proud grin.

"I am such a good person."

"Seeing that you guys are mute and can’t speak, I decided to do the voiceover for you."

"Today, I’ll be a voice-over actor for the day."

With that, he lifted his sword and charged towards the gown-wearing monsters again.

"Mighty Sword Cracks Skull!"

"Don’t!"

"Rain of Xiangxi’s Sword!"

"It hurts so much!"

"Turn of the Divine Dragon!"

"Ah!"
