Ch 36: Emperor Qianlong, Qian Long

First Level Heroic Spirit World.

Inside a teahouse.

A handsome man with silver hair was expressionlessly sipping tea. A virtual interface was projected in front of him… It displayed trending topics related to Chu Mo.

He watched the intense discussion below.

“?? Seriously… I finished reading the article, but isn’t the history of the Demon Qing already basically fixed? Where did this Human Emperor come from?!”

“I suspect the history of the Demon Qing is what’s problematic… I’m a Qing dynasty Heroic Spirit! I clearly awakened the Illusory Scene and immersed myself in it… As everyone knows, memory fragments might be fake, but the Illusory Scene is definitely real.”

“Without a doubt, after entering the Illusory Scene… I inexplicably discovered that I had an extra Heroic Spirit skill, a red one. Skills have appeared, so how can it be fake?”

“Basic Cultivation Method, huh? But strangely… it seems no one has awakened the Perfect Blood Refinement Method yet. I think that should also be a red-level skill!”

“The effect of the Basic Cultivation Method… is too strong! It directly boosts the foundation of the First Realm…”

“…The most outrageous thing is, I discovered that my Heroic Spirit quality has improved?”

“??????”

“What the hell?!”

“Originally… my Heroic Spirit should have been an unremarkable peasant, but inexplicably, after seeing that Basic Cultivation Method, new memory fragments were projected into my mind. In this fragment, I was an official up to county magistrate… So, my Heroic Spirit quality inexplicably rose from red to orange?”

“??? Heroic Spirit quality can be improved midway? Damn it!”

“I’ve encountered this kind of case before… It seems a certain Heroic Spirit that appeared for the first time led to a sealed history being unearthed after awakening, and then inexplicably allowed several Heroic Spirits to awaken new memories and obtain quality upgrades! This purple Heroic Spirit is likely also appearing for the first time, since there have never been any Qing dynasty purple Heroic Spirits before, so it matches up… But, but that time, only a few Heroic Spirits were affected.”

“Indeed, it’s too damn outrageous… I searched for information online, and I discovered that several tens of thousands of people have publicly admitted to awakening new red skills… This, this is too terrifying!”

“That’s right… Is there a possibility that the history of the Qing dynasty is incomplete? In fact, the Qing dynasty is far more than the three or four hundred years we’ve deduced… In fact, it lasted for thousands of years? The dynasty created by this Human Emperor also lasted for several hundred years, and then the Demon Dynasty continued it, and then the Demon Dynasty forcibly tampered with history. I feel that this is the only way to explain it… Although there are still some things that can’t be explained! But this is the only reasonable explanation I can think of.”

“Possible, but we still have to wait for experts to study it… It’s estimated that we need to wait for history experts to specifically interview that purple Heroic Spirit Awakened before we can glimpse some clues!”

“Big news… earth-shattering big news! Damn it, history students are already numb…”

“?? In this day and age, who among Heroic Spirit Awakeners still studies history? Isn’t studying that stuff purely for the sake of hobbies…”

“Sage Emperor is awesome!”

“Am I the only one paying attention… According to the memories of many scattered Late Qianlong Era Heroic Spirits, Emperor Qianlong was actually that person’s pet…”

“LOL!”

“You’re not allowed to insult His Majesty the Demon Emperor like that!!”

“The little darkie upstairs is showing his demonic feet, right? Who doesn’t know that ‘demon’ is actually a derogatory term! This is hilarious…”

“It’s too funny, after the deeds of Emperor Qianlong the Demon Emperor were unearthed by historians… he does have quite a few haters!”

Seeing this, dense cracks appeared on the teapot in the silver-haired man’s hand. He expressionlessly drank all the tea.

The chubby man opposite him looked at the silver-haired man with some unease. He lowered his head, “Your Majesty, that… don’t take it too much to heart… I think!”

“I did awaken some memory fragments,” Qian Long said softly.

◈◈◈

He Huang broke out in a cold sweat. As the Awakened of the Heshen Heroic Spirit, he knew exactly what kind of arrogant and conceited man Emperor Qianlong was.

This… this will inevitably lead to a life-and-death struggle with that person!

“This servant deserves to die! I evoked bad thoughts in my master.” He Huang immediately slapped himself twice.

“Don’t be like this,” Emperor Qianlong sighed lightly. He frowned, “The Demon Emperor’s memories… are very strange! Clearly, before, there were memory fragments of him enjoying his old age… But now, there’s this! Could it be that he imagined himself enjoying his old age while he was a pet?”

“However… in the memories I awakened, there isn’t too much hatred for the Sage Emperor. There’s fear, awe, and even a slight respect… Strange!”

Emperor Qianlong couldn’t figure it out. Could it be that he really developed feelings while being a pet…

But this also made him feel fortunate. He really didn’t want to go up against this Human Race Sage Emperor. Even if the other party had just awakened…

Because he had awakened as a Demon Race Heroic Spirit. Because of the Demonic Race Heroic Spirit great defection incident back then, the government’s control over these alien race Heroic Spirits was extremely strict. Although the facts also proved that this control was correct…

Heaven knows how much effort Qian Long had spent to clear his name. If he dared to sneak attack and assassinate the young purple Heroic Spirit now… the consequences would be unimaginable!

“Hoo.” Exhaling a long breath, Emperor Qianlong said softly, “But when he appears in the Heroic Spirit World, please let me know! I’m very curious about this person… If possible, I’d like to meet him.”

“This servant understands.” He Huang lowered his head and bowed in agreement.

Hailing City.

Inside a library.

Chu Mo looked at his soaring currency balance and fell into deep thought, “What the hell… where did all this money come from???”

After a brief silence, Chu Mo opened the bill settlement list and then discovered that a large number of them were all income from selling techniques.

“Ah? Someone has already bought my technique???”

Chu Mo was dumbfounded. Wasn’t it said that the review hadn’t passed yet… can it be bought directly?

Chu Mo searched online, but discovered that he couldn’t find any information about his technique. He immediately asked Nüwa with some confusion…

And then…

“It was purchased by Heroic Spirit Awakeners from the Heroic Spirit World?!” Chu Mo’s expression became wonderful. Once again, he deeply realized that Heroic Spirit Awakeners are special, in every aspect.

He pinched his brow. After thinking for a moment, he casually used Xiao Bai to purchase a top-of-the-line Heroic Spirit Login Device that cost one billion… Xiao Bai popped up a prompt, estimating that it would arrive home in three days.

Indeed, for him, one billion could now be considered small change. Although Chu Mo had thought that he would suddenly become rich before uploading the technique, he didn’t expect… it to come so quickly and so fiercely.

However, Chu Mo wasn’t too surprised. Currency was certainly useful, but it was only useful in life. For Heroic Spirit cultivation resources, the real hard currency was actually merit points.

This kind of thing could only be obtained from the government by making contributions to the Divine Province and gaining official recognition!

But unfortunately, techniques and the like, considering that they have to be accessible to ordinary people, and ordinary people absolutely cannot obtain products like merit points, only require ordinary Divine Province currency to purchase…

Shaking his head, Chu Mo began to continue studying.
