Alien Science Cultivation

"Okay... young friend is so generous... I will not be stingy either. As long as you find this map... I can take you to explore the location of the Weak Water in the Thirty-Three Heavens... In addition, this time I will personally escort a few of you out of this desert... You three can choose ten of all the talented young business masters in the clan. At present, it seems that only your Qingshan Exchange is most likely to find the map of that star field..." The old man responded loudly again, with a look of deep expectation in his eyes.

Afterward, the old man invited the three to taste the Weak Water. Wang Yan hesitated as she gazed at the Weak Water before her. "Haha... young friend, don't be afraid. Although this is Weak Water, it descends from the Thirty-Three Heavens, undergoing countless energy exchanges. This Weak Water also contains many of the energy auras of the universe. It is these energy auras that allow cultivators to more fully comprehend the laws of the universe. Furthermore, the Weak Water's dripping, absorbing and containing the various energies within, can also comprehensively enhance a cultivator's physical fitness. Of course, this is a one-time effect, at least for this type of dripping Weak Water. It may be related to the path or concentration of the Weak Water... But it will definitely not harm you, young friends... hehe..." The old man explained, seeing Wang Yan's apprehensive expression, and then downed his cup of Weak Water in one gulp. To prove his point, the old man had already sensed the various energies and auras within the Weak Water. Drinking it again would only allow him to sense the same energies and auras, with virtually no effect on him.

Chen Ying and Zhang Qiang smiled, raising their teacups and drinking from them alongside Wang Yan. A moment later, as the three of them drank, Zhang Qiang seemed to sense within the Weak Water not only spiritual energy and the power of Guixu, but also the laws of time and space, and even some unnamed laws and energy auras. This filled Zhang Qiang with a wave of delight. With the aura of these energies and laws, he could use his powerful and overbearing spiritual sense to locate the source of the energy and perhaps even comprehend the laws contained within.

What caught Zhang Qiang's attention most was the presence of the legendary Ruomu within the Weak Water. Ruomu and Ruoshui coexisted, suggesting this location might be the one mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Even if it wasn't on Earth, it likely wasn't too far away.

The old man then discussed the Yin-Yang War with the three. He explained that the elves were aliens and unwilling to participate in the conflict. He also bluntly mentioned their business dealings with both the Yang and Yin realms. For over a hundred thousand years, the elves had maintained a neutral position. This Saigon Forest seemed a corner forgotten by the Heavenly Dao. Cultivating here was immune to the Heavenly Dao's thunder tribulations, and even if the elves achieved breakthroughs anywhere, they would remain unnoticed. The ghost lords of the Yin realm also seemed reluctant to interact with the elves. The old man could readily guess the general situation: his people were cursed by the Great Dao, and even though the Great Dao of this star region was dormant, the elves remained cursed.

Zhang Qiang also deduced that this elven elder was an incredibly powerful being. He likely came to this star region because he discovered that the Great Dao within this region was dormant, hoping to ward off the curse. However, the curse remained unresolved. This intrigued Zhang Qiang: what kind of spell could have allowed the Great Dao within the elven region to remain cursed for so long? And how did the elves manage to travel through the star region to reach this place? This was also a point of great interest to Zhang Qiang and the other two.

As time slowly passed, the female elf reentered the room. She bowed to the old man and then invited Zhang Qiang and the other two to the square to select the elven business elite. The old man did not follow, leaving the snakeskin-clad female elf in charge while he prepared to lead the group across the desert.

When the group arrived at the gates of Wuming Academy, thousands of handsome elves were already waiting in formation. Zhang Qiang and the other two glanced at the crowd and couldn't help but sigh, "What handsome men... What beautiful women..." The elves' innate qualities made them beloved by the world. When they first saw the beautiful elves at the Xingluo Exchange, they had assumed they had been carefully selected before being hired. Now, the three of them realized that the beautiful elves at the Xingluo Exchange were just ordinary people here.

Without giving it much thought, Zhang Qiang slowly controlled his spiritual sense, enveloping the thousands of young elven men and women present, analyzing their numerous data points, such as their genetic makeup and bone age. He even discovered human and elven embryos within one female elven woman, a fact that puzzled Zhang Qiang. After all, the fact that two different races could produce children truly violated the boundaries between biological species. Without hesitation, Zhang Qiang kept this woman. Another woman also caught Zhang Qiang's attention. She bore a close genetic connection to the elderly man, and Zhang Qiang was certain they were relatives, so he also kept her. He also kept a young man with an IQ of at least 200. After selecting three, Zhang Qiang stopped choosing and looked at Wang Yan and Chen Ying. After all, he was choosing according to his own wishes, so he naturally trusted that Wang Yan and Chen Ying had their own methods. A quarter of an hour later, Wang Yan had chosen four, Chen Ying had chosen three, and together with Zhang Qiang's three, they had exactly ten. The three of them smiled at each other, indicating that they had found their chosen candidates. After the three men had selected ten, the elven elder was ready. He calmly stood atop a golden flying boat and waved to Zhang Qiang and the other two, inviting them aboard. Wang Yan and Chen Ying, without hesitation, swiftly flashed onto the boat. Zhang Qiang, however, didn't immediately board. Instead, he gestured to the ten elven men and women standing in a row. They politely clasped their fists in gratitude and then flew off to the boat one by one. Only the pregnant young woman at the rear bowed again as she approached Zhang Qiang. She seemed even more grateful than the other nine elven men. Zhang Qiang understood that since there were no mixed-bloods or outsiders in this forest, the woman's child was most likely conceived outside the home. He could even imagine what the outcome would be if she became pregnant with a human child. He intended to save her life, but it depended on her own wishes. The final bow was undoubtedly a gesture of gratitude for Zhang Qiang's life-saving grace, or perhaps even for saving her child's life. As Zhang Qiang finally boarded the flying boat, the old man didn't hesitate, instantly emitting the aura of a mid-stage Divine King. This aura was even stronger than that of the Qingshan Sect's leader. Under the old man's urging, the flying boat soared at breakneck speed towards the east of the desert. The golden flying boat wasn't large, but its grade was even higher than Chen Ying's acquired spiritual boat, hinting at a level surpassing that of an acquired treasure. The flying boat was clad entirely in golden gold, and within the cabin hung two murals unique to the elves, along with several cyan jade cushions carved with elk heads. Everyone chose a quiet spot to sit, always ensuring they were in peak condition.
