God-Like Extraction Chapter 39 – [Xuantian]

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In short, this was an era where everyone revered martial arts.

Technology was just auxiliary. The treatment of scientific researchers could not compare to that of martial artists.

Earth Star’s martial artists were not the celebrities of planet Earth.

The latter could only entertain people, while the former was the foundation, pillar, and backer of a country.

A country without a first-grade martial artist would not be able to protect itself and would be quickly annexed.

Some time ago, Su Jingxing went online and saw a video.

It was a trending video about the combat ability and destructive power of a first-grade martial artist.

Good lord, that was not a human but a human-shaped missile!

Wherever he went, the place would be reduced to ruins.

Even a city with a population of more than ten million like Qinghe City would not be able to escape the fate of being reduced to rubble if it was struck.

Just this alone had not taken into consideration where a martial artist would be of greatest value——decapitation strike!

Therefore, on Earth Star only those extremely untalented for martial arts or those who were obsessed with the Internet and technology would give up on martial arts and turn to other industries.

In such an environment, Su Jingxing’s hacking skills might not be the best online, but he was still one of those at the very top.

Hacking into the lottery center, social forums, company systems, and more was quite easy.

The only problem was that there was no pattern to the Ethereal Sword Immortal’s draw. Before she made her choice, no one knew which social forum it would be.

This required Su Jingxing to hack into all the major forums.

There were three major forums in Yu Nation, as well as the local forums of each prefecture.

These forums had to be put into the relevant small software in case they were selected.

Then, Su Jingxing added his own and Wei Jiajia’s information into these forums.

Finally, he set up a reminder and waited for the arrival of the Ethereal Sword Immortal

No matter which forum this third-grade big shot chose, between Su Jingxing and Wei Jiajia, the probability of one being selected would reach 99.9%.

That’s right. Wei Jiajia’s request reminded Su Jingxing of himself.

He happened to be in need of guidance from a senior expert.

If he could obtain the guidance of the Ethereal Sword Immortal, he would undoubtedly be able to avoid many detours!

Su Jingxing was definitely not the first to think of this shortcut.

But why didn’t anyone follow up with it?

In Su Jingxing’s opinion, it was either they had the intention but didn’t have the ability.

Or, they had the ability but did not have the thought.

Or perhaps he should be more straightforward. They clearly possessed powerful hacking abilities but did not know how to use them.

There were many such examples.

No one knew how capable they were until they were forced to the last step.

If Su Jingxing had not come from Earth and experienced the explosive growth of the Internet, he would not have thought of this method.

So.

Su Jingxing had reserved Ethereal Sword Immortal’s next meeting appointment letter in advance.

Whether it was Wei Jiajia or Su Jingxing who was selected, it was not a loss for Su Jingxing.

Even if he really were to encounter the only error probability and loses his qualifications, there would always be a next time.

If I fail this year, then I’ll try again next year. If I fail next year, then I’ll try again the following year.

Three times at most, between Su Jingxing and Wei Jiajia, one is sure to get selected!

As for the Muyan Flower.

It was a type of heavenly treasure, an important ingredient for many pills.

The reason why Wei Jiajia wanted it was because the sap of the Muyan Flower would slow down the aging of the skin when applied to the face.

The fresher the Muyan Flower, the longer the duration of delay. The maximum duration was thirty years!

In other words, if Wei Jiajia were to apply the sap of a fresh Muyan Flower on her face right now. Her appearance could be maintained until she is nearly fifty years old.

At the age of fifty, her skin would still be as fair and delicate as an eighteen-year-old. Her face would be full of collagen.

Men didn’t care about this effect, but women were crazy about it.

As a result, the price of the Muyan Flower rose all the way. From a few hundred thousand dollars for a stalk to several million dollars now. Most importantly, there were people willing to accept this price, but there was no product available for them.

Su Jingxing agreed to this request because he had read a deleted post revealing where the Muyan Flower grew while he was searching for traces on the Internet.

Green Cloud Mountain that was west of Qinghe City!

Although Green Cloud Mountain was only a small mountain range, it was well-known throughout Yu Nation.

It was tall and precipitous, and there were numerous peaks and ridges. Many rare precious herbs grew there.

Muyan Flower was just one of them.

The location that was revealed online was concealed and very dangerous. Very few people knew about it.

Out of curiosity, Su Jingxing had once evaluated this option and found that he was strong enough for this.

Coincidentally, the number of corpses in the crematorium had decreased during this period of time. He would not make a big loss taking a trip out.

Su Jingxing immediately took two days off. Together with a rest day, he had three days’ time to enter the mountain to look for the Muyan Flower.

Of course, since he was already entering the mountain, he could also collect some precious herbs along the way.

For this, Su Jingxing specially bought a big backpack and carried lots of things with him.

These were all preparations for entering the mountain.

Then, early in the morning the next day, he took a scheduled bus to the nearest Forestry Town at the foot of Green Cloud Mountain.

With the Green Cloud Mountain Range behind them, there were quite a number of Forestry Towns.

Su Jingxing picked the nearest one. After arriving, he didn’t stay in town for long and quickly entered the mountain.

This was his first time entering a mountain on Earth Star.

Su Jingxing had only circled around the foot of the mountain during the Corpse Puppet Mei Jinju incident.

Unlike the forest in the Forestry Station, Green Cloud Mountain was more primitive and had almost zero development.

Su Jingxing didn’t care why it wasn’t developed.

It was either because there were too many beasts in the mountains or because of human intervention.

After all, the worldly energy in Green Cloud Mountain was abundant. It was one of the best places for the seventh-grade martial artists to break through to the sixth-grade.

If too much damage was done to it, the gains would not make up for the losses. They would even be suppressed by multiple parties.

Because of all kinds of factors, Green Cloud Mountain was perfectly preserved until now.

…

With a clear destination in mind, Su Jingxing headed straight for the location where Muyan Flower grew after entering the mountain.

Unexpectedly, after crossing two mountains, he encountered a group of people on a mountain slope.

A group of young boys and girls.

Su Jingxing asked around and found out their identity.

Students of Xuantian University!

Xuantian University was the top university in Yu Nation. Previously, it was the Xuantian Academy, an ancient academy that had existed for thousands of years. It had survived through the various dynasties until today.

The group of Xuantian University students that Su Jingxing met were from the regional branch campus in Qinghe City.

Although it was just a branch campus, it was still one of the two best universities in Qinghe City.

It offered humanities and martial arts subjects.

The group of students had come to Green Cloud Mountain on a field trip to study the various types of rare herbs.

That’s right.

These students were not martial arts students but humanities students, majors in botany at that.

Their leader was a white-haired professor named Lin Xiurun. He was just an ordinary person.

They dared to enter the mountain because Xuantian University had its own guards.

The leader of the guards team that came with them this time was a peak eighth-grade martial artist with five ninth-grade martial artists under him.

Apart from the six of them, they also hired a six-man security team from a third-party.

The team leader there was a seventh-grade martial artist.

A seventh-grade martial artist wasn’t much. What was noteworthy was that this security team came from Glory Security.

And Glory Security happened to be Wan Rong’s faction!
