The Mecha Driver Is a Cultivator

Chapter 49: Chapter 47: Gift

Even though they were both non-living objects, completely different results appeared.

After many attempts, Qin Jin finally confirmed the specific reason.

Wish Power!

For safety considerations, his Divine Intent was constantly protected by Wish Power.

As the vessel of his Sacrificial Spirit identity, the control core of the Deep Driller underwent a transformation, and the machine also contained Wish Power.

Thus, it was able to successfully enter this space.

After determining the reason, Qin Jin tried to envelop other items with Wish Power and then send them into the fragment space, and sure enough, it worked.

This sparked some ideas in his mind.

“In mythological legends, cauldrons also have the highest significance as sacrificial items.”

“Legend has it that Da Yu divided the nine provinces and cast nine cauldrons, which could be called national treasures.”

“Perhaps this cauldron also was a similar existence, which is why it led Wish Power to enter it without hindrance.”

There were no living beings around, and he couldn’t possibly risk bringing a tribe member or himself without confirming whether this space could support living creatures.

However…

For Qin Jin, it was already enough.

All along, restricted by the Deep Driller, he still needed to go to the storage area daily.

Now, this mining machine could be carried with him, not only boosting his combat power but also allowing him to go to the Great Wilderness or the Sacrificial Fire Tribe anytime, anywhere.

“This large cauldron fragment isn’t big, so it can be simply decorated and transformed into something similar to a Heart-Protecting Mirror to carry with me.”

“The space contained inside can accomplish a lot.”

“The Deep Driller is too old, but if I had a real combat mecha that I could carry with me, it would undoubtedly become my trump card.”

“These matters need to be prepared for after the Star God’s Chosen One event.”

Having made up his mind, Qin Jin extended his Spiritual Power to sense the outside world.

Ding Yang and Qi Ze were quietly waiting outside the Sacrificial Spirit Hall.

Xia Rock Tiger had gone out, and Qi Chuan, the current chief, was leading the tribe members in construction.

Though aged, after practicing the Breathing Technique, his dormant vitality had been somewhat awakened, surpassing ordinary people.

These people are the current high-level members of the Sacrificial Fire Tribe.

With the blessing of Wish Power, Qin Jin’s voice simultaneously sounded in their hearts.

He made arrangements.

Understanding the true value of this Bronze Fragment, Qin Jin naturally wouldn’t use it like the Spirit Spring Tribe did. Such an important treasure, if placed outside, risked being lost.

This fragment would be personally managed by Qin Jin.

He would take it out when necessary, such as when a tribe member is injured, to use its power for healing, or during the Sacrificial Fire Tribe’s medicinal baths, to help improve the tribe members.

Under normal circumstances, this large cauldron fragment is his auxiliary cultivation item. With its contained space, in the future, if he wants to transport some “large items” between the two realms, it could also serve a purpose.

Under his command, Ding Yang and Qi Ze set off again.

The Great Wilderness is vast.

With precedence, other tribes’ mysterious and treasure lands might have appeared due to the influence of strange objects.

At this time, with everything waiting to be rebuilt, it was undoubtedly the best time for collection.

While cultivating in the Great Wilderness, until the two suns set in the west together, Qin Jin had a fleeting thought and returned to the Mining Star.

After some routine maintenance of the Deep Driller, he crafted a soft frame fitting for the fragment based on his initial idea, carrying it with him and using Wish Power to hide it.

Looking at the close-fitting large cauldron fragment, Qin Jin had a subtle thought.

“When my spirit first entered it, I saw the scene of the gigantic cauldron shattering.”

“In the future, if I can acquire other fragments, could I see a more complete picture?”

“This large cauldron fragment is the first treasure I acquired in the Great Wilderness and has storage functions; it deserves a name.”

Reflecting on the initial shattered scene and the patterns carved on the gigantic cauldron, he made a decision.

“Let’s call it Mountains and Rivers.”

With that thought, the Deep Driller was collected into Mountains and Rivers.

Without the mining machine, the warehouse felt somewhat vacant, and Qin Jin turned to leave.

…

Night descended on the Mining Star.

Compared to before, on his way back to his residence, Qin Jin noticed that the night in the Xinyang District was noticeably noisier than before.

There were more outsiders in the Mining Star.

Connected to what Zhong Yi said, now that the Mining Star is under martial law, the objectives of these people are easily imaginable.

Upon returning home, Qin Jin picked up the alloy box containing the academy’s secret medicine and headed straight for the Yan Family.

Just as he lifted his foot to push open the courtyard gate, Qin Jin saw Yan Yue coming out to greet him.

Yan Yue, dressed in casual attire and wearing an apron, brightened up when she saw Qin Jin: “Qin Jin, you came just in time.”

“I recently read some food literature and did a bit of learning. Come and have a taste.”

She still carried traces of the smell of food, indicating she had just been busy in the kitchen.

Reaching out, she pulled Qin Jin into the house.

“What’s that you’re carrying?”

Yan Yue casually asked.

“A gift.”

“Inside is secret medicine.”

Qin Jin replied concisely, and seeing the inquisitive look in the girl’s eyes, he added: “For you to use.”

“Huh? For me?”

Yan Yue paused and, pointing to herself, appeared confused.

“It’s not for treating illnesses.”

Qin Jin immediately noticed what she was thinking: “This is for Martial Arts practice, from Wuyuan Academy, all premium.”

“Miss Yan, your investment is about to see returns.”

Qin Jin said relaxedly: “With the help of these secret medicines, even if your Martial Arts talent is average, you can make rapid progress in the early stages. Then, by the time of the school selection exam, with Martial Arts bonus points, you can choose your specialty freely.”

As soon as he finished speaking.

He saw the young lady in front of him turn, attempting to pull him outside.

Qin Jin stood firm.

At Qin Jin’s current level, she couldn’t budge him.

Seeing her actions fail, Yan Yue slightly furrowed her brows and spoke quickly: “Qin Jin, I’m waiting for you to soar and take me with you. What time is it now?”

“Take these secret medicines back and use them yourself.”

“Although my Martial Arts scores are average, my academic scores are already sufficient, and I don’t need these.”

“If you don’t take them back, you won’t get to eat what I’ve cooked today!”

“I wasn’t too keen on eating…” Qin Jin’s murmured comment had barely escaped when, seeing the change in Yan Yue’s expression, he amended his response: “Rest assured, I only gave them to you because I don’t need them.”

Their voices in the courtyard weren’t low, and Qin Jin keenly sensed that someone inside the house had approached the door.

He deliberately raised his voice and said earnestly: “That Spiritualist senior provided me with enough resource support, so you can use these without worry.”

After speaking,

he turned to look at the doorway and called out,

“Uncle Yan.”

The approaching person was Yan Gaoyuan.

Upon hearing the call, Yan Gaoyuan nodded and looked at Yan Yue, “Jin’Er knows what to do, you should accept it.”

“Perfect timing, come in for dinner first.”

Upon hearing this,

Yan Yue pursed her lips and eventually pulled Qin Jin into the room.

The alloy box was placed to the side.

On the dining table, the dishes were already served.

After Qin Jin sat down, Yan Gaoyuan pushed up his glasses: “Jin’Er, why is Wuyuan Academy providing you with secret medicine?”

When Yan Gaoyuan was young, he was able to assist a Spiritualist, which apparently means he also had Martial Arts cultivation, he had overheard the conversation between Qin Jin and Yan Yue.

“Teacher Wen from school used to be a student at Wuyuan Academy.”

Qin Jin replied, “Through his connections, I was placed on Wuyuan Academy’s observation list and received resource support.”

Yan Gaoyuan nodded in understanding.

He shifted the topic and asked, “How does Elder Chu treat you? He hasn’t troubled you, has he?”

“Teacher Chu is very supportive of me.”

Qin Jin replied earnestly, “Uncle Yan, you’re right, this is also an opportunity.”

“During this period, my improvement speed has far exceeded before.”

With ample resources, the guidance of a Grandmaster, combined with his own talent, that was how he progressed so fast in cultivation.

Qin Jin could imagine that without the event of the Star God’s Chosen One, it would have been easy to earn his first pot of gold with the Great Wilderness, but obtaining this level of resource-assisted cultivation would have been extremely difficult.

Moreover…

some level of secret medicine wouldn’t even be available on the market.

“That’s good.”

Yan Gaoyuan nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, “Jin’Er, I don’t know what Elder Chu will eventually need you to do, but you’ve gained enough already; from now on, prioritize your own safety.”

“Uncle Yan, don’t worry, I understand.”

Qin Jin shook his head, speaking with some emotion, “If it weren’t for you introducing me to Teacher Chu, the situation would likely have been much more complicated now.”

The Star God’s Chosen One is destined to sweep across the young generation of the Mining Star; talented young people could be chosen by powerful factions with [tickets].

Yan Gaoyuan’s presence granted him a foundation of trust with Chu Tianyi, creating the current outcome.

If he had been noticed by other unfamiliar powers, or even those pre-established Noble Families, and chosen as a competitor, everything… would not have gone so smoothly; much trouble would arise.

After a few short exchanges, Yan Gaoyuan asked no more questions.

At the dining table, instead, it was Yan Yue’s mother, Tang Qin, who started conversations, and the family chatted while eating, in a relaxed atmosphere.

After dinner, Qin Jin stood up, ready to leave.

As he walked to the courtyard gate, he heard Yan Yue’s voice from behind.

“Qin Jin!”

Turning back, Qin Jin saw the girl leaning against the doorway, waving a small fist at him, looking serious, “You must work hard.”

“With the help of these secret medicines, be careful not to let me surpass you.”

“When the time comes, whether or not I let you cling to my success, I still have to think about it.”

Qin Jin couldn’t help but smile.

He waved his hand in a light-hearted manner, “Yan Yue, then you better work hard too.”

After his voice fell,

Qin Jin turned back,

preparing to leave, but his sharp senses picked up the girl’s low murmur behind him.

“You have to work even harder.”

Hearing the worry embedded in her tone, Qin Jin didn’t turn back, quickened his steps, and his figure vanished, leaving only his final words echoing in the courtyard.

“Yan Yue, there is still much room for improvement in your cooking!”

…

Pushing the door open back to his own bedroom, Qin Jin stretched and relaxed his mindset.

Within the base, he was known to everyone as a Martial Arts talent.

In the Great Wilderness, he played the role of a dignified Sacrificial Spirit.

Only when at the Yan Family, facing these familiar faces, could he completely unwind.

He walked towards the window, gazing through it at the high sky.

Beyond the Sky Curtain, the rampaging thunder seemed to become more active.

In the past, he didn’t understand the source of these thunders; now, knowing their origin, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder as he observed them again.

“What will Mining Star look like without thunder?”

“One day, when it truly ascends to Gaia Planet status, what will that be like?”

With such questions in mind, Qin Jin washed up and rested, quickly falling into a dream.

…

Several days later.

Within the base.

This was a building resembling an arena, internally divided into two levels, with the lower level hosting a ring several tens of meters wide, and the center of the second floor empty with surrounding corridors for a clear view of the ring.

At this moment,

two young figures on the ring were exchanging blows, the sound of fists and kicks dull and resounding.

On the second floor,

Qin Jin leaned against the railing, observing the situation on the ring.

Beside him, a staff member from the base operated a portable computer, with a light screen displaying rows of data information.

This was the relevant information about Martial Arts Families who had not been eliminated yet.

As the Star God’s Chosen One approached, Qin Jin, the Captain, began familiarizing himself with their information, preparing to select his teammates.

The staff member scrolled through the data while providing an introduction.

Life Index, Spiritual Index, even the Combat Technique studied, specific Physical Strength, etc…

Just then,

an elevator door not far away opened, and Su Chaotang, carrying a briefcase, arrived on the second floor.

“Teacher Su.”

Qin Jin’s gaze shifted towards him.

Su Chaotang stepped closer and handed the briefcase to Qin Jin.

“Take a look.”

“This is Boss Chu’s Breaking Realm gift for you.”
