In this world, naturally, no one recognizes this thing.
But holding this Pikachu in his hands, Yan Hanzhou felt something different at this moment.
He felt as if the unknown animal before him had come to life.
The world in front of him was slowly darkening.
The entire world seemed cloaked in night, with only this Pikachu moving vividly in front of him.
In an instant, an astonishing power of thunder erupted from this Pikachu!
The power of lightning seemed capable of annihilating everything.
Wherever the lightning passed, nothing could live!
Several bolts of lightning flew past Yan Hanzhou's ears, leaving him dumbfounded; it was his first time seeing such a terrifying creature.
What exactly is this thing?
Why does it have such formidable power?
Why has no one ever documented something this incredible in books?
This senior actually saw such a terrifying thing, so what level has he reached?
Li Changqing has no idea about Yan Hanzhou's thoughts, nor does he know that the Pikachu he carved casually has given Yan Hanzhou such a great opportunity.
Li Changqing originally thought that something from another world, once carved, would have no effect here.
But Li Changqing was completely wrong.
An elder guarding the Yan family checked Li Changqing's token after he entered and respectfully let him in.
"There really are a lot of books," Li Changqing said, looking at the countless books on the shelves and suspecting that this place might be larger than the capital's library.
He casually picked out a book from a nearby shelf.
Records of the States.
After glancing at the title, he flipped through it, finding it mainly described a person's experiences traveling through various countries.
He found a few more books, most of which told stories about martial artists.
There were also some about martial arts techniques.
These techniques were merely suitable for ordinary people to exercise; for real martial artists, it seemed like child's play.
In the Cangyuan Realm, there are few true cultivation technique inheritances.
Unlike Li Changqing's known world, where a strong person teaches their martial arts manual to a disciple, who then cultivates it successfully.
The cultivation techniques of masters are also comprehended from paintings.
If one truly wishes to teach a disciple, there is only one way: demonstrate the cultivation technique in front of the disciple and explain its insights to them.
Then let the disciple use the same painting for enlightenment.
Whether they can comprehend it depends on luck.
Moreover, once someone has comprehended a cultivation technique from a painting, its spiritual aura diminishes until it becomes an ordinary artwork.
At that point, to preserve the inheritance, one must find a powerful painter to replicate it, though the effect will not be as strong, it can still maintain the inheritance.
Outside the Ten Thousand Books Tower.
Yan Hanzhou had been there for half a shichen, sitting cross-legged, with faint sparks of electricity dancing around him.
In front of him floated a small wood carving, and Yan Hanzhou's consciousness was fully immersed in it.
It seemed as though nothing in the outside world had anything to do with him.
At this moment, several figures hurriedly approached from afar.
The person leading them was none other than Yan Botao.
Yan Botao originally didn't want to disturb Li Changqing at the Ten Thousand Books Tower, but upon hearing about Yan Hanzhou's situation, he hurried over with people.
Several elders of the Yan family also quickly followed.
"Clan Leader, that's..."
Seeing the wood carving floating in front of Yan Hanzhou, the elders were shocked and their expressions changed dramatically.
They naturally recognized this treasure.
Yan Botao's son, Yan Yushi, used a similar wood carving to enter a state of enlightenment and officially step into the Transcendent Realm.
He even hopes to step into the Innate Realm.
This small wood carving contained unfathomable power, even stronger than a painting.
The elders were very envious of the tiger wood carving that Yan Yushi had. Today, they actually saw another wood carving in the hands of a Yan family disciple.
What kind of stroke of luck did Yan Hanzhou encounter?
"Is he Yan Hanzhou?"
Before coming here, Yan Botao heard about Yan Hanzhou's situation, as one of the Yan family's geniuses, who refused the transmission twice, now the three-year period is up, and he's about to leave the Yan family.
Just as the elders beside him were about to speak, they suddenly saw Yan Hanzhou stand up.
Then, Yan Hanzhou started to punch with his eyes closed.
This was quite surprising, and they watched closely.
At first, Yan Hanzhou's fist technique was clumsy and slow.
But with each punch, his movements sped up, and eventually, afterimages appeared around his fists.
By the end, Yan Hanzhou's aura surged, and a kind of energy emerged from his body.
Once this energy appeared, his fist technique instantly elevated, with the sound of thunder resonating in the air.
The intent within the fist technique was intertwined with the momentum of rolling thunder!
This left Yan Botao and the others dumbfounded.
The fist technique was changeable, as fast as thunder, with speed and power intertwined so that every punch was filled with force.
More importantly, in just this short time, Yan Hanzhou actually generated Inner Strength!
He directly stepped from the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm into the Postnatal Realm!
He became a true Postnatal Martial Artist!
"Goodness gracious, what should this old man even say," one elder practically couldn't believe what he saw.
He knew Li Changqing's wood carving was incredible, but this was simply too outrageous!
"What is this fist technique?" Several people speculated.
In their Yan family, some had comprehended thunder-related fist or blade techniques, but compared to Yan Hanzhou's, they paled in comparison.
Yan Hanzhou's fist technique contained a profoundly unpredictable intent.
It seemed to have multiple variations.
Even these old fellows had never seen anything like it.
"Huh?"
Having finished his fist technique, Yan Hanzhou opened his eyes, first exclaiming in surprise, as he hadn't noticed the change in himself. He thought he was just practicing the technique in his mind.
But it seemed he had actually executed the fist technique.
"Clan Leader, Elders!" Seeing Yan Botao and the others beside him, Yan Hanzhou quickly greeted them respectfully.
"Congratulations on entering the Postnatal Realm," an elder said with a smile.
"Me?" Yan Hanzhou paused at these words, then immediately felt the presence of Inner Strength flowing in his body.
"I've entered the Postnatal Realm!" Yan Hanzhou exclaimed in disbelief.
All of this was because of that little wood carving?
What kind of treasure is that?
"Yan Hanzhou, from today on, you will be a core disciple of the Yan family. Starting today, the cultivation resources you're entitled to each month will be increased tenfold. I hope you'll train diligently and bring honor to the Yan family in the future."
Yan Botao looked at Yan Hanzhou with a face full of gratification.
"Thank you, Clan Leader!" Yan Hanzhou was so excited that he didn't even know what to say.
Tenfold increase on the original basis.
No other Postnatal disciples of the Yan family receive such treatment!
He also felt immense gratitude to Li Changqing in his heart!
Except, Li Changqing had no idea about any of this; he was still immersed in the sea of books.
