Chapter 91 The Changes in the Prophet's Child! The Traits of an Eight-Hundred-Year-Old Cultivator! (First and Second Updates)
No changes were visible on the surface of the skin on her palm, but Qingyu could vaguely sense that every cell beneath the skin was undergoing continuous transformation.
The effects of this trait are not limited to medical ninjutsu.
Yang Release Chakra is the foundation of all life energy, and this trait can enhance the effect of Yang Release Chakra, which means that all of Qingyu's recovery abilities will increase accordingly.
The speed at which wounds heal, the speed at which physical strength is restored, and even the body's regenerative ability will be stronger than before.
More importantly, this trait applies to all Yang Release ninjutsu, not just the medical field.
Even if Kiyoyu uses the Akimichi clan's secret ninjutsu, he will still receive a bonus.
If he is fortunate enough to learn Tsunade's S-rank ninjutsu "Creation Rebirth" in the future, the value of this trait will continue to increase.
Qingyu clenched her fist, feeling the increased vitality within her body, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
The effects of the B-grade trait did not disappoint him.
This is only the first B-grade trait, and on his system panel, there are several other C-grade traits also marked with a synthesis condition of 0.
If you keep grinding, the second and third B-grade traits won't be too far away.
Even higher-level traits like A-grade and S-grade.
At that time, his snowball will grow faster and faster!
Konoha in June.
Qingyu and Jingyin walked side by side on their way to the herbal medicine shop.
Tsunade had run out of the medicinal bath ingredients she had prepared, and the two were about to go and replenish them.
As they walked, Jingyin explained to Qingyu how to identify several highly poisonous plants, while Qingyu nodded in agreement from time to time and occasionally asked a question or two.
"By the way, if an excessive amount of scorpion venom extract is added to the 'Green Ivy Powder' formula, to what extent will its toxicity increase?"
Qingyu recalled what Jingyin had taught her before and casually asked a question.
Just as Jingyin was about to answer, a hearty laugh suddenly came from ahead.
"Hey, isn't that Qingyu and Jingyin!"
A tall man with long white hair emerged from the street corner, his red coat fluttering in the wind.
Qingyu stopped and nodded slightly to Jiraiya.
"Lord Jiraiya."
"It's been a long time, Jiraiya-sama."
Even when silent, she still greeted everyone politely.
Jiraiya strode up to the two of them, looked Qingyu up and down, and suddenly patted Qingyu hard on the shoulder.
"Kid, you've grown quite a bit taller. I heard you've been making quite a name for yourself on the battlefield lately, even managing to outwit that Sunagakure Blaze Release user, Pakura. Well done!"
Qingyu's shoulder tingled slightly from the pat, but she replied without changing her expression, "It was just good luck."
"Yes, it has the style I had in my youth."
Jiraiya laughed heartily, then, as if remembering something, his expression softened slightly.
"By the way, Qingyu, could you please pass on a message to Tsunade and ask if she's free to have a drink with me these next few days? I'm about to leave the village again for a trip, and it'll be at least a few months before we meet again."
Jiraiya paused, then added, "Tell her the usual place, the same izakaya. I still remember the money she didn't pay me for the drinks last time."
Qingyu nodded.
"I will tell Tsunade."
"it is good."
Jiraiya nodded in satisfaction, and was about to say something more when he suddenly saw two green toads hopping towards him.
Qingyu's gaze fell on the two toads, and she recognized who they were.
They are Fukasaku and Shima.
Fukasaku the Hermit is slightly larger, with long white eyebrows on his forehead, green skin, and a tuft of white beard on his chin.
Shima-senjin was slightly smaller, with bright purple lipstick on her lips and even a purple bun on her head.
The two toads have lived for a full eight hundred years and are true elders of Mount Myoboku.
Three lines of text suddenly appeared before Qingyu's eyes.
[Collectible trait detected: Eight-hundred-year-old cultivator]
[C-Rank Trait: Eight Hundred Years of Cultivation]
[Effect: Increases affinity with natural energy by 60%, and halves the charging time for activating "Sage Mode".]
Qingyu examined it carefully and found that the effect was quite good.
If entering "Sage Mode" requires three minutes of charging time, then he only needs one and a half minutes.
If it continues to improve in the future, it's not impossible for him to instantly activate "Sage Mode" like Hashirama Senju!
The next moment, Qingyu's perception suddenly underwent a subtle change.
The natural energy in the air, which could only be vaguely and indistinctly perceived before, became clearer than ever before at this moment.
Previously, those natural energies were like blurry outlines hidden behind thick fog. Qingyu knew they existed, but could never see or touch them.
Now, those clumps of things that were originally invisible and unseen have suddenly become "clumps of air" that can be clearly perceived.
They float in the air, flow among the branches and leaves of trees, and settle in the cracks of the stone slabs underfoot.
Qingyu understood; this was the natural energy that roamed freely in the earth and air.
He sensed it for a moment and discovered that natural energy was everywhere.
Qingyu guessed that this energy was like air, enveloping the entire ninja world.
As for whether it exists in outer space or on the moon, Qingyu has no idea for the time being.
Even if there are, Qingyu estimates there probably aren't many.
Otherwise, you could simply plant the divine tree in outer space or on the moon.
Are these natural energies approaching me?
Immediately, Qingyu noticed that the natural energies were slowly approaching him, as if they were being attracted to him.
When he met the Slug Sage in Shikkotsu Forest before, he also obtained a similar trait, [Natural Energy Affinity], which also increases the effect by 60%.
Now that the two traits are combined, the affinity level has reached 120%.
This means that even if he doesn't actively absorb it, his body can passively attract natural energy.
Furthermore, when Qingyu activates "Sage Mode", the charging time required is greatly reduced.
Qingyu was pondering whether he could also reduce the time required to cultivate "immortal arts".
However, Qingyu remained expressionless, simply standing quietly beside Jingyin.
"Um?"
Shima-sensei suddenly let out a soft exclamation, turned his head, and glanced at Kiyoyu with his bulging frog eyes.
Is this little human brat stirring up the natural energy around him?
Why does she feel that the natural energy around her is flowing in this direction?
Shima's perception was renowned throughout Mount Myōboku, even surpassing that of Fukasaku.
She clearly felt that the natural energy that should have been evenly distributed in the air was now being gently stirred by an invisible hand, slowly converging towards the black-haired boy.
Although the flow is slow and the amplitude is slight, it is indeed moving.
How could a human brat who hasn't even formally practiced "immortal arts" possibly do such a thing?
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Senjin Fukasaku noticed his wife's unusual behavior and turned to ask her a question.
He was less perceptive than Shima, and did not notice the subtle changes in natural energy.
Shima-sensei glanced at Kiyoyu again but didn't notice anything amiss.
"It's nothing, honey."
Master Shima shook his head.
Perhaps it was just her imagination.
After all, it's common to sense something unusual in a place like Konoha.
There are so many weirdos in this village, one more won't make a difference.
"Boss, Big Sister, what brings you here?"
Jiraiya curiously looked down at the two green old toads at his feet.
Mount Myōboku is thousands of miles away from Konoha, and these two elders rarely come to the human world on their own initiative.
He comes over occasionally, either because he has something urgent to discuss with him, or to buy some daily necessities that are not available in Myoboku.
After all, human technology has far surpassed that of Mount Myōboku in many aspects, especially in those strange and wonderful kitchen utensils. Every time Shima visits, he buys a whole bunch of them to take back with him.
"The old master wants to see you."
Fukasaku then turned his attention back to Jiraiya with a serious expression.
"That old idiot must be half asleep again, having some weird dream and wanting to come find you."
"That's what Master Shima said without any politeness."
"Honey, how could you speak of the old man like that!"
Fukasaku immediately turned his head, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
"That's true. All he does all day is sleep and dream. When he wakes up, he's confused and often forgets things."
"Shima the Immortal muttered."
"The old master is the foundation of Mount Myoboku. It is very impolite of you to say such a thing."

"Alright, alright, boss, big sister, stop arguing."
Jiraiya quickly smoothed things over, then lowered his head and asked, "But what exactly did the Great Toad Sage want with me this time?"
You'll find out when you get there.
The immortal spoke.
Because he didn't know either, he only came here because of the orders of the Great Toad Sage.
Jiraiya scratched the back of his head, then turned to Kiyoha and Shizune, his cheerful smile returning to his face.
"Well, Kiyoyu, Shizune, I'll be going now. Don't forget to pass on my message to Tsunade!"
Qingyu nodded, watching Jiraiya's figure disappear into the white smoke along with the two toads.
After Jiraiya left, Kiyoha pondered whether he should go to Shikkotsu Forest to see what changes might have occurred.
After all, the concentration of natural energy in the three holy sites far exceeds that of natural energy in the outside world.
He wanted to see if he could try learning "Sage Mode".
"Sage Mode" allows for the perfect fusion of natural energy with one's own chakra, thereby greatly enhancing the power of all ninjutsu.
Given his current affinity with natural energy, it might be worth a try.
However, Qingyu had no idea whether there would be any punishment for failing the "Immortal Mode" in Shigku Forest.
Although the Slug Master looks gentler and is much easier to get along with than the White Snake Master and the Great Toad Master.
He doesn't like fighting or killing, and has a very good personality.
However, if one fails to cultivate in Ryuchi Cave, they will be directly eaten by the White Snake Immortal.
If one fails in their training at Mount Myōboku, they will turn into stone directly, unless someone watches over them beforehand and helps them use special tools to channel natural energy to prevent petrification.
And what about Shikkulin?
Qingyu suddenly thought of a possibility.
After he went to Shikkut Forest, he still hadn't seen the so-called "bones".
Does failure mean turning into a pile of bones?
Qingyu thought about it and felt a chill run down her spine.
However, he believes that if he really goes to cultivate, given the Slug Immortal's personality, he will definitely help keep an eye on things.
"Let's keep going, Mute."
"it is good."
Silent nodded.
Mt. Miaomu.
Jiraiya followed Fukasaku and Shima through layers of enormous vegetation and arrived at an ancient and simple hall.
Inside the main hall, there is a huge chair.
A huge toad was perched on top of it.
The Great Toad Sage's skin is dark brown, covered with lines and spots left by the passage of time.
Its eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if it were fast asleep, yet also as if it were awake.
"Grandpa, I've brought Jiraiya with me."
The hermit Fukasaku jumped to the stone seat and spoke respectfully.
The giant toad sage did not react at all, remaining in that half-asleep, half-awake state.
"Sir?"
The immortal called out again.
There was still no response.
"I told you, that old fool must be half asleep again."
Master Shima crossed his arms, looking as if he had expected this all along.
Jiraiya sighed helplessly, just as he was about to wake up the Great Toad Sage, when the giant toad suddenly moved.
"Hmm—who is it?"
The Great Toad Sage's voice was distant, like an echo coming from a deep well.
"Grandpa, it's me, Fukasaku. I've brought Jiraiya with me."
The immortal, Fukasaku, quickly replied.
"Who is Jiraiya-chan?"
The Great Toad Sage looked at Jiraiya with half-open eyes, his gaze filled with confusion.
Jiraiya's lips twitched.
This is always the case.
Every time he came to see the Great Toad Immortal, the old man would first completely forget who he was, then remember who he was, and then start talking about serious business again.
When will he finally get used to this kind of treatment?
This classic scene left Jiraiya speechless.
"Grandpa, Jiraiya is destined to become the mentor of the 'Child of Prophecy'."
The hermit, Fukasaku, patiently explained.
"prophecy?"
The giant toad sage blinked, understanding the key word, and even his cloudy pupils seemed to clear a little.
"That prophecy—that's right, that prophecy—"
The Great Toad Sage's body trembled slightly, and his breathing suddenly became a few beats faster.
"Sir?"
Senjin Fukasaku sensed something was wrong and quickly asked.
The Great Toad Sage remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking, his voice even lower and hoarse than before.
"Little Jiraiya—I—I had another precognitive dream."
Jiraiya's expression immediately turned serious.
He remembered the last time the Great Toad Sage said those words was a long time ago. Back then, he was still searching for the "Child of Prophecy" mentioned by the Great Toad Sage, the one who would bring about tremendous changes to the ninja world.
That precognitive dream changed the course of his life.
If it weren't for this dream, given Jiraiya's personality, he would never have been running around outside every day.
Isn't this just forcing yourself to suffer when you can't?
Even when he went outside the village, Jiraiya felt that he was gathering material for his book.
Recently, he wanted to publish a book, but he is still in the manuscript writing stage and many contents need to be revised.
"Great Toad Sage, what did you dream about?"
Jiraiya asked curiously.
Could it be that it can predict names?
That would increase his efficiency many times over!
The Great Toad Sage slowly lowered his head, his turbid eyes staring straight at Jiraiya.
"The 'Child of Prophecy'—seems to have changed."
"Change? What changes?"
Jiraiya was taken aback.
The giant toad immortal shook his head.
"I—I don't know either. The dream was too blurry. I could only sense that some changes had occurred in the 'Child of Prophecy,' and the previously certain trajectory—was now blurred and indistinct."
He raised a thick forelimb and pointed it at Jiraiya.
