Hearing Lin Qian's words, Yue Liqun still appeared somewhat confused. "Your Majesty, why does this item have such a strange name, 'Reset Points'? What does it mean to 'add points'? Is it like drawing dots on your body with a pen?"
"Pfft!" Lin Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud at Yue Liqun's interpretation of the concept of 'attribute points' and 'skill points' from his previous life's games.
However, Lin Qian couldn't blame him. In this world, it was difficult for anyone to imagine the advanced, colorful technological civilization that had developed in a world where humans couldn't cultivate.
"My past life, let it be a cherished memory just for me," Lin Qian thought to himself as he recalled the various moments from his previous life.
"Your Majesty?" Yue Liqun's probing voice brought Lin Qian back from his memories, refocusing his attention on the Reset Crystal in Yue Liqun's hand.
"I was just reminiscing a little. As for this item, you just need to infuse it with your soul power and then press it against any part of your body," Lin Qian explained. As he spoke, he took out a golden monitoring token and placed it on Yue Liqun's back. "After you use it, you might experience a transformation, or you might end up with nothing at all. I really can't say what will happen."
"Everything depends on your fate."
After attaching the monitoring token to Yue Liqun, Lin Qian took a few steps back and looked at him. "To put it bluntly, I'm using you to test this thing's effects!"
Yue Liqun nodded, then looked down at the item in his hand. "Your Majesty is giving me a chance by letting me try this. I'm willing to take the risk."
Without hesitation, Yue Liqun followed Lin Qian's instructions, infusing the Reset Crystal with his soul power.
In an instant, the Reset Crystal began to emit a brilliant glow as ethereal, faint yellow light swirled around it, making Yue Liqun's eyes widen in amazement.
He hadn't expected that the Reset Crystal, once infused with soul power, would look so beautiful.
Gathering his resolve, Yue Liqun recalled Lin Qian's instructions, raised the Reset Crystal, and slammed it against his chest, right over his heart. As he did so, he shouted, "Li'er!"
Bang!
As the Reset Crystal, enveloped in a dazzling yellow light, made contact with Yue Liqun's chest, it shattered instantly, scattering into countless multicolored fragments.
However, instead of dispersing into the air, these fragments lingered in place, hovering in midair.
Moments later, it was as if Yue Liqun's body had become a magnet, drawing the fragments into him.
As Lin Qian watched the scene unfold, which was identical to how it happened in the game in his previous life, he held his breath in anticipation.
In the treasury of the Huaxia Empire on the Fantasy Star, there were countless game items, though not all of them were usable.
Just as the Huaxia Empire on the Fantasy Star had transformed, the entire Fantasy Star was gradually adapting to the soul power-based world of Lin Qian, much like adapting to local customs. Everything was becoming centered around soul power, but the core characteristics remained the same.
The sealed peak generals and beast generals were still in slumber, their seals not yet fully lifted. Some items in the treasury had yet to undergo soul power transformation and were unusable.
For instance, the Reset Crystal. In the game, it required energy to activate. But now, in the soul power-centric Huaxia Empire, all energy had been replaced by soul power. How could it be activated?
It wasn't until recently that the Reset Crystal finally underwent soul power transformation and could be activated with soul power.
As a result, Lin Qian decided to use Yue Liqun as a test to see exactly what kind of reset would occur after using the Reset Crystal.
After the shattered Reset Crystal was absorbed into Yue Liqun's body, there were no dramatic changes. The only noticeable difference was that his aura of a fifth-level Awakening Realm cultivator became extremely pure, gently surrounding his body.
Yue Liqun's aura was now pure and unblemished, without any extraneous energy—just the straightforward presence of a fifth-level Awakening Realm cultivator.
At the same time, the monitoring token on his back began to emit a faint glow, scanning his entire body for any changes.
"Your Majesty, the changes in Yue Liqun after using the Reset Crystal have stabilized, and the results are in," Zhuge Ming's voice echoed in Lin Qian's mind as soon as Yue Liqun's aura settled.
After hearing Zhuge Ming's report, Lin Qian's eyes sparkled with intrigue as he looked at Yue Liqun. "So that's how it works... The localized Reset Crystal indeed lives up to its name."
Now that Lin Qian understood the specific effects of the Reset Crystal, he found it fascinating. The game item from his past life had taken on a unique function in this world.
Yue Liqun stood there, dumbfounded, as he assessed the state of his body. He looked down at himself and realized that his once-bulging belly was gone, his formerly bulky physique now leaner, resembling his appearance back in the Third Prince's residence...
No, upon closer inspection with his soul sense, Yue Liqun noticed that his current appearance was even more handsome than before.
But what shocked him even more was the state of his body. Apart from maintaining his fifth-level Awakening Realm cultivation, his body felt like a blank slate—his dantian was empty, and his Martial Soul had... disappeared!
Just as Yue Liqun was about to circulate his energy to explore further, a leg suddenly swept toward him, striking his abdomen hard and sending him flying backward.
The force of the kick disrupted his attempt to circulate his soul power, leaving him unable to proceed.
Before he could crash into the courtyard wall behind him, a hand grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back to the ground with a thud.
"Your Majesty?" Yue Liqun asked in confusion, not understanding why Lin Qian had kicked him, only to save him from the impending collision.
Lin Qian pulled Yue Liqun to his feet, looking him in the eye. "Without my permission, do not attempt to circulate your energy or try to explore your current state. Just wait patiently."
Hearing Lin Qian's command, Yue Liqun naturally complied, standing still as ordered.
Yet, despite his confusion, Yue Liqun felt a sense of excitement. Although he couldn't fully grasp what had happened to him, he could tell that his meridians and dantian had returned to normal.
Yue Liqun had already realized that the reason for the weakened strength of his people was the poison of the Soul Transformation Fruit, which thickened their meridians and dantian walls, compressing the space available for soul power.
But unlike those who had taken the Purification Elixir, Yue Liqun noticed that his meridians and dantian, while now normal, were neither especially resilient nor strong—they seemed quite ordinary.
"Well done. You've helped me understand the effects of the Reset Crystal," Lin Qian said with satisfaction as he looked at the now-handsome Yue Liqun. "Now, I need your help to test something else."
