I've already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and you're saying I didn't time travel?

Chapter 43 Qi Refining Second Stage!
nine in the morning.

The live broadcasts from the sky, spanning the globe, have resumed.

Countless viewers flooded into the live stream:
"It's open, it's open!"

"It's finally open!"

"Where is Qi Shenren? Where did he go?"

"Could something really have happened?"

"Hahaha, he's dead after all! Time to pop the champagne!"

"Next, it's our turn to land in Britain!"

……

In the live stream, the torrential rain that had been pouring down like a waterfall had completely stopped.

As far as the eye can see, the waters stretch out in vast expanses, with countless tall trees, ravaged and standing in the water. Broken trees, scattered branches and leaves, and shattered fruit float on the surface, stretching into the distance.

At the source of the lake, the collapsed mountain still faintly reveals its former grandeur. Broken mud and rocks, like mortar poured from the sky, cover the entire slope. All around is silent, except for the murmuring of the stream.

This desolate and lifeless scene sent chills down the spines of countless viewers. Some sharp-eyed netizens even spotted the shacks destroyed by the mudslide, with debris scattered everywhere and no trace of the dead.

Could it be that, like this shack... Qi Xuan was also washed away?

This thought filled countless netizens in Daqian with sorrow, while many people abroad applauded and cheered in the live stream.

Some people even started discussing in the live stream how to get to Qi Xuan's crash site as quickly as possible and recover the numerous resources he possessed. This led to a heated argument among netizens from some countries.

However, before they could reach a conclusion, that incredibly familiar voice suddenly echoed in their minds:
Good morning, everyone.

"Your host, Qi Xuan, is back!"

As the words fell, the camera panned to the corner where the mud and water met, and Qi Xuan's figure quickly zoomed in on the live stream.

He looked quite disheveled, with mud splattered all over his clothes and pants, but his smile was very warm, and he even kept waving his hands at the live stream.

Upon seeing this, countless netizens cheered:
"Qi Shen is still alive!"

"Great! I knew he would get out of danger!"

"Waaaaah, I was so worried! I thought something really happened to Qi Shen."

"I didn't ask Guanyin for help for nothing! I'll go and fulfill my vow right now!"

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright!"

……

The entire Daqian region was filled with jubilation, as if it were the Lunar New Year.

In the happy home, Qi's parents had red eyes, but they smiled at each other.

On the fourth aircraft carrier, Liu Wang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere became exceptionally relaxed.

Standing in front of the villa's floor-to-ceiling windows, Ji Yuwei loosened her clenched fists and belatedly rubbed her palms, which had been pinched so hard.

In the hospital corridor, Xue Cheng excitedly slammed his fist on the railing. When he noticed people around him looking at him, he quickly and guiltily retreated into the ward.

In the company conference room, everyone was laughing and celebrating Qi Xuan's escape from danger, while Chen Yutong silently lowered her eyes.

In the class's carnival, the Happy Home group, and even more group chats, all kinds of blessings kept flooding the screen.

……

Aside from close friends and well-meaning strangers celebrating, the haters who had been overjoyed upon hearing of Qi Xuan's death were now completely silent, as if they had lost their parents.

Completely unprepared for the situation, Qi Xuan smiled and said to the camera:
"I just deliberately arranged for the camera to film the overall scene so you could see the general situation after the heavy rain. While I was filming, I also picked up some things at the bottom of the hillside."

When the landslide occurred, I fled in such a hurry that I didn't have time to take many things with me. They were all destroyed along with the shack. Fortunately, I searched down there for a while and managed to find some things, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

As Qi Xuan spoke, he walked quickly forward.

The road was extremely muddy, but his movements were incredibly graceful.

Although many mud splattered, very few actually landed on him. It looked like he was dancing, exuding a graceful and elegant beauty.

For a time, it left many viewers dazzled and speechless with astonishment.

After crossing vast stretches of muddy ground and arriving at slightly firmer ground, Qi Xuan continued:
"Yesterday's situation was still very dangerous. Needless to say, the retreat process was extremely difficult. Several times I thought I was about to be buried in the overwhelming mud and rocks. Fortunately, I was one step ahead and managed to get out of the danger zone in advance. It's just a pity that I was still injured later."

He revealed his half-sleeved shirt, his eyes filled with a hint of apprehension:
"On the way to find shelter, I was ambushed by a monster. Although I was lucky enough to avoid fatal blows, my left arm was severely injured and almost severed on the spot. It was too dangerous. Just thinking about that scene makes me feel scared."

Qi Xuan raised his left arm, pointing it at the camera.

He was afraid the viewers in the live stream wouldn't be able to see it, so he deliberately moved the camera closer.

Only when the fine hairs on the skin were visible did the crowd notice the thin white mark:
"??"

"???"

Are you sure you're injured?

"Could the monster that hurt you be a mosquito?"

"The marks from my 36D bra are bigger than this!"

"Monster: Despite my best efforts, I cannot break its skin."

"If you had just said it was from sleeping on your stomach, that would have been better than calling it a monster."

……

Netizens were speechless.

Qi Xuan was also a little embarrassed.

He hadn't expected his wound to heal so quickly, it made it seem like he was lying.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. He had taken a Qi-replenishing pill last night, and after refining the pill, he immediately advanced to the second level of Qi Refining.

The improvement in his cultivation level, coupled with the increasingly surging spiritual power within his body, greatly accelerated the recovery speed of his injuries, to the point that now there are almost no traces of his injuries left.

Very helpless.

"Ahem."

Qi Xuan lowered his arm and coughed lightly:
"In short, that monster is quite terrifying. You'll see when I get my revenge."

If it were any other time, after a chaotic rainstorm, he might have had a hard time finding the monster.

Unfortunately, he awakened a new ability in the second stage of Qi Refining last night—[Spiritual Perception].

Spiritual perception is a kind of spiritual perception, a new higher level of perception that is born after the five senses are greatly enhanced.

It can be used to identify whereabouts, predict crises, and even see through disguises, with countless practical applications.

This ability is not only far beyond the ordinary, but also far beyond that of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators. It is generally only possible to obtain it when one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage.

By cultivating the "Myriad Transformations Ultimate True Technique," he mastered this ability, which was only available to cultivators at the upper level, even though he had only reached the second level of Qi Refining.

It has to be said, it's quite outrageous.

Yesterday, that monster was elusive and extremely good at hiding. He had originally planned to endure humiliation and cultivate silently for a while before taking revenge, but now that he had awakened his [Spiritual Awareness], how could he let it continue to roam freely?

"However, before we seek revenge, it is necessary to build a new sanctuary."

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Qi Xuan looked at the still somewhat unclear sky in the distance:
"The rain has stopped, but we don't know when it will start again."

"Whether it's for shelter from the wind and rain, for storing supplies, or simply for a good night's sleep, I have to build a new shelter."

"Let's get started right away."

Qi Xuan glanced at the lens, then looked around:

"First, let's find a suitable stone."
