Chapter 40: Law of Divine Relics, Visualization Level 1

"Empty your mind, don't think about anything, let your body's instincts run the Hibernation Dragon Technique," Li Qi instructed.

Hearing this, Xue Jing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, stood in the posture of the Hibernation Dragon Technique, and tried not to think.

After several days of practice, he had already mastered the operation of the Hibernation Dragon Technique. Even without deliberately controlling it, as soon as he stood in the posture, his body instinctively began to activate, stimulating countless nodes and practicing the Hibernation Dragon Technique.

However, after less than three minutes, his mind became restless, and he involuntarily took control again, actively operating the Hibernation Dragon Technique.

Xue Jing opened his eyes and shook his head. "Master, I can't maintain this state for long."

Li Qi replied with satisfaction, "You don't need to maintain it for long. Just being able to do it is enough."

"A genius is a genius; you grasp everything instantly. Compared to you, Chen Fuguang is a fool. Teaching him almost drove me mad."

"..." Xue Jing chose to pretend he hadn't heard that.

"I'll go prepare some things. You wait here, don't move," Li Qi instructed.

Xue Jing nodded.

After Li Qi turned his wheelchair and left, Xue Jing took out his phone and saw unread messages on WeChat.

He opened it to find messages from Wu Youqing.

Xue Jing felt a surge of excitement, only to find it wasn't about a job offer but several files that she had sent.

[Wu Youqing]: These are materials related to divine relics. Try to learn more about them. You'll need this knowledge in the future. 

[Xue Jing]: Panda head Ok.jpg (Emoji)

[Xue Jing]: Senior sister, when will there be work? 

Wu Youqing sent a cat emoji patting its head to comfort him.

[Wu Youqing]: Don't worry. Our company doesn't have performance appraisals. Even if no divine relics are collected for a whole month, the salary will still be paid. (TN - Damn I want to work for such a company)

[Xue Jing]: Senior sister, salary doesn't matter, the main thing is to collect divine relics. 

[Wu Youqing]: Snickering.jpg. So you mean it's okay not to pay you?

...

After chatting with his wealthy boss for a bit, Xue Jing noticed that Li Qi hadn't returned yet, so he opened the files sent by Wu Youqing.

-Five Laws of Divine Relics-

1. Divine relics are unique: All divine relics are one-of-a-kind and cannot be replicated.

2. Divine relics cannot be permanently destroyed: Even if any divine relic is Physically Destroyed, it will reappear in another place in a random form.

3. Divine relics must have side effects: Without exception, the scale of the side effects has nothing to do with the power of the divine relic, and there is no pattern to it.

4. Divine relics are transferable: Any divine relic can randomly transfer under unknown conditions without pattern or predictability.

5. Divine relics are just relics: Divine relics are not living creatures. Even if they possess thoughts, feelings, language skills, and even human appearance, they are just relics, not real living creatures. Therefore, no divine relic has human rights. Repeat, No divine relic has human rights.

"..." 

Xue Jing read through the five laws in silence, pausing on the fifth law, [Divine relics are just relics], as if contemplating something.

"I feel like something bad happened, leading to this strange law being added," he mused.

He shook his head and closed the file, then opened another document.

-God's Relics Illustration Book (λ Version)-

After clicking, a long list of selectable serial numbers appeared.

- [GOD-001·■■■■]

- [GOD-002·First■■]

- [GOD-003·God■■]

- [GOD-004·Emerald■■]

- [GOD-005·Mirror■■]

...

- [GOD-015·Reversal■■]

- [GOD-016·Ashes■■]

- [GOD-017·Father■■] (TN - Went out to buy milk, lol XD)

- [GOD-018·Death ■■■■■■]

- [GOD-057·Gold ■■]

- [GOD-066·Future ■■]

Starting from the first 100 in the sequence, all were either fully or partially covered by ■, and clicking on them prompted [Insufficient Permission], preventing viewing.

Scrolling further, from sequence number 300, some full names of divine relics were visible, but he still lacked permission to view their details.

It wasn't until reaching sequence number 1000 that he could see a brief introduction.

Xue Jing picked one at random.

-[GOD·1057·Quick-acting Heart-wrenching Pill]-

- It disguises itself as an ordinary Aspirin capsule and often transfers randomly to Aspirin medicine bottles. After consumption, it causes severe heart-wrenching pain. The consumer will not die or fall into a coma for any reason within two hours, remaining conscious and in pain for two whole hours. (TN - Basically feeling the pain of a heart attack for two hours)

Xue Jing "..."

What a devilish divine relic.

Yet it's a life-saving artifact. Truly a divine relic, completely unreasonable, ensuring survival for two hours... (TN - Nothing can kill the person, but they will feel unbearable pain)

While staring at it, the training room door opened, and Li Qi entered in his wheelchair.

He held a porcelain medicine bottle, uncorked it, poured out a black pill and handed it to Xue Jing.

"Eat it," Li Qi said.

Without hesitation, Xue Jing took and swallowed it.

The taste was strange, with a strong smell of Chinese medicine mixed with a weird fragrance.

Xue Jing asked, "Master, what is this?"

Li Qi replied slowly, "It's a secret medicine made with the body fluid of a 'dragon species' from the border area, with hallucinogenic effects."

"...Can I ask which body fluid?"

"Some things are better left unknown," Li Qi replied meaningfully.

Xue Jing "..."

"Xiao Jing, look at me," Li Qi suddenly said.

Xue Jing instinctively looked at Li Qi.

Boom boom boom!!

Xue Jing felt like his head was being hammered, with noise assaulting his ears and his vision turning white.

When his vision returned, he looked up again.

Li Qi was gone. In the entire training room, only an ancient dragon was lying dormant on the ground!

The ancient dragon had four legs and five claws on each leg, a horn was on its head, and its body was covered with dense golden scales, but it was scarred and its eyes were tired, almost half-dead.

Yet just a glance from its dark golden pupils froze Xue Jing in place, unable to move, with breathing feeling like a luxury.

Once he regained his senses, he attempted to rub his eyes, only to freeze upon raising his hand.

'Is this... a dragon claw?'

His arms were covered with heavy scales, and sharp claws had grown from his fingers.

Realizing something, Xue Jing immediately assumed the posture of the Hibernating Dragon Technique, and his entire being... his entire dragon form lay dormant on the ground.

He let the operation of the Hibernating Dragon Technique rely on his instincts, immersing himself in the feeling of "being a dragon."

...

He didn't know how much time passed.

Slowly opening his eyes, they suddenly brightened, with his pupils turning into dark golden slits before reverting back almost instantly, as if it were an illusion.
