Chapter 3, overeating can lead to an explosion

It's over, this is a disaster

Xu Que glanced at the last remaining teleportation talisman in the system package and smiled calmly

Bold thief, what trick are you playing?

After consuming so many elixirs, it turns out that they did not fail to take effect; rather, it is necessary to catalyze them oneself

Suddenly waking up again, he angrily rebuked, "Stop wasting words. To dare to intrude into the treasure vault of my sect is simply seeking one's own death"

... ... ''

Zhang Suliang immediately frowned, about to speak, when Xu Que suddenly changed his expression dramatically and let out another scream.

Looking at the empty treasure vault and the unfamiliar face, his expression gradually transformed from a daze into fury. With a sharp sound, he drew his sword and pointed it directly at Xu Que, questioning sternly: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into the treasure hall of my sect?"

But in the next moment, everything before his eyes went dark

Zhang Suliang looked at Xu Que with suspicion. Seeing him clutching his lower abdomen and the dozens of empty elixir bottles scattered nearby, he was instantly moved, his face filled with shock as he exclaimed: "You... you just ate all these elixirs?"

Zhang Suliang felt a twinge of reluctance, tightly gripping the sharp sword, and decided to give Xu Que a swift end

This guy is no pushover! He is much stronger than that little fairy, and he looks like he is at least at the Foundation Establishment stage! However, why do these cultivators always act like this? They start fighting at the slightest disagreement, and they are so ruthless in their attacks.

Experience Points: 0 / 1000

Position: The Prince Consort of the Fire Element Nation in the Eastern Wasteland Continent

A massive surge of energy suddenly erupted within his body, recklessly swirling around the extraordinary meridians, as if it intended to tear his body apart, akin to being pierced by millions of needles, causing Xu Que to shudder violently and fall to the ground.

However, this pretense is rather ordinary, and the system still rewarded a bit of pretentiousness points. Compared to the one hundred points of pretentiousness required in the Intermediate Chapter of "The Ancient Five Elements Formula," it is merely a drop in the bucket

Upon hearing these words, Xu Que's eyes suddenly brightened, and life was once again filled with hope

Host: Xu Que

The precarious situation is certainly not a good thing, much like receiving a critical illness notice in a hospital, which essentially indicates a determination of impending death

Ding, detection complete. Based on the host's current pretentiousness level and life status, this system has found a solution for you...

Damn system, you promised to help me show off and soar, so hurry up and see if there is any solution!" Xu Que clutched his abdomen, his face full of pain as he spoke

... ...

Seeing this, Xu Que hurriedly summoned the last bit of his strength and gritted his teeth, saying: "Do not worry about me. Every person must face death, whether it is heavier than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. If I do not enter hell, who will enter hell? Ah..."

With the activation of the auto-repair function, Xu Que immediately felt a significant reduction in his bodily pain, and at the same time, a luminous interface popped up before him, displaying the mall list from the system

Current vitality status: precarious

The system automatically pops up the mall interface, prominently displaying a book titled "Self-Disconnection of Meridians"!

"The intermediate level requires one hundred points of pretentiousness? Damn, why don't you just go and rob someone! I have been pretending all day, and in the end, I can't even afford a single spell!" Xu Que immediately erupted in anger.

The young man with the sword was momentarily taken aback and, in confusion, said: "I wasn't pointing at your head!"

The young swordsman twitched the corner of his mouth, his brows furrowing tightly

Ah ... ...

Ding, congratulations to the host 'Xu Que' for successfully showing off, earning 1 point of show-off value

Occupation: None

Ding, the automatic repair function has been successfully activated, deducting one point from the pretentious value

Ding, it has been detected that the host 'Xu Que' has exceeded the limit of spiritual energy within his body, resulting in physical damage. Would you like to activate the automatic repair function? Please note that the automatic repair function requires the consumption of 1 point of pretentiousness value for each hour.

The key point is that Xu Que is currently still activating the automatic repair function, which consumes a bit of pretentiousness value every hour, yet the spiritual energy shows no sign of diminishing; instead, it is growing increasingly vast, akin to strong liquor, with a powerful aftereffect

However, when he saw the price of the Intermediate Volume of "The Ancient Five Elements Secret", he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood

Zhang Suliang opened his mouth wide, unable to regain his composure for a long time, seemingly shocked by Xu Que's grandiose words before his death

Even with five spiritual roots within the body, it is fundamentally impossible to fully digest this immense amount of spiritual energy

Ding, it has been detected that the host has only learned the introductory section of the "Ancient Five Elements Technique" and is unable to absorb all the spiritual energy; it is necessary to purchase the intermediate section.

Xu Que recalled the large pile of elixirs he had swallowed earlier, and his face instantly turned pale

Swish

Martial Art: "Taigu Five Elements Formula" Beginner's Chapter

However, Xu Que did not die; he was simply afraid that if he stayed there, he would be struck dead by Zhang Suliang's sword. Therefore, he decisively crushed the teleportation talisman to escape, but not before putting on a show.

Xu Que was transported to a small stream in the mountains, leaning against a large tree. He propped himself up and summoned the Show-off System, and a luminous interface appeared before him.

This is his first time viewing the system mall, which lists a multitude of options, featuring various kinds of spells and magical treasures

He had not attempted to circulate his spiritual energy after consuming it just now, until he was forced to act by the sword-wielding youth, resulting in the simultaneous catalysis of that pile of elixirs.

Continuing in this manner is simply not a solution

Zhang Suliang was also taken aback; these spiritual medicines...! ... are meant to be distributed as monthly allowances to the outer disciples. A single ordinary Gathering Yuan Pill is sufficient for a Qi Refining stage disciple to cultivate for over a month

As the words fell, the young swordsman in possession of the sharp sword heard a "hum" as the sword sang, radiating red light, charging towards Xu Que with the blazing essence of fire elemental energy

Xu Que cursed inwardly and immediately mobilized the spiritual energy within his body to counterattack, but upon making this move, he realized something was amiss

However, this fellow in front of me swallowed dozens of pills in one go, and surprisingly, he even consumed the Guiyuan Dan and the Cui Ti Dan used for foundation establishment. Could it be that he intends to commit suicide out of fear of punishment

Pretentiousness value: 15 points

As the words fell, there was only a muffled sound of "whoosh," and Xu Que vanished without a trace, appearing as if he had truly exploded and perished, with both his spirit and body completely obliterated, leaving not even a remnant of flesh.

Xu Que pressed on the area of his lower abdomen, feeling as if the spiritual energy was about to tear him apart, experiencing a tendency towards explosive demise

Ah ... ...

Why is this happening

Looking at the last newly emerged line of text, Xu Que's mouth twitched violently

Realm: Qi Refinement Stage Ten (Initial Glimpse of the Path)

Brother, you do not even know who I am, yet you dare to point a sword at me? Do you know that in my life, I despise it the most when others point a gun... uh, a sword at my head?

The cries were utterly tragic, not feigned, but rather the automatic repair function could no longer keep up with the destructive speed of that spiritual energy. He had consumed far too many elixirs, and this mortal body, with its impure bones, simply could not withstand it

Xu Que was already too exhausted to respond to him, his features contorted as he curled up on the ground struggling, his complexion growing increasingly pale

The system prompt sounded in Xu Que's mind, and without a moment's hesitation, he responded with his consciousness: "Quickly activate it, and also help me deal with this spiritual energy."

Rather than suffering and dying like this, it would be better for me to give you a swift end
