My head was pounding. Chen Xi struggled to open his eyes. He regretted drinking so much last night...
Three days passed, and Chen Xi finally understood the current situation. It was a broad interpretation of the Three Kingdoms period. The Yellow Turban Rebellion had just been put down, an era of heroic figures emerging. It was also an era that Chen Xi had fantasized about when he was bored in the past. After all, whether it was Zhao Zilong with his white horse and silver spear or Zhuge Kongming, whose wisdom was personified, the fans and detractors in later generations were endless. There's no way around it, there are too many Chinese people, so that's what he had to say.
He is now a branch of the Chen family from Yingchuan, a very distant relative. To be precise, he's practically run away from home and no one even notices. His household consists of only a maid who takes care of him and an elderly housekeeper. He's the quintessential "one eats enough to feed the whole family" type.
Watching the butler wield a sword so expertly that not a drop of water splashed, Chen Xi was truly at a loss for words. Could it be that everyone in this era was this powerful Was history accurate Were ancient people ten times better than modern people Chen Xi just couldn't believe it.
"Master Chen, how are you feeling these days" An old man dressed as a physician poked his head in and asked with a smile.
“I’m much better now.” Chen Xi hurriedly bowed, saying truthfully that according to his knowledge, even a headache could be fatal in this era. A severe illness like his before, the fact that this father-in-law was able to pull him back from the brink was truly not easy.
"Your complexion looks much better. Young Master Chen, you should still cultivate your inner energy more." The old man smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I won't stay long."
"Uncle Chen," Chen Xi called back.
The butler quickly dashed over, pulling a horse along with him. It was so fast it was unbelievable.
“Father-in-law, seeing you so eager to leave, I presume there’s an urgent matter. This horse is a gift for you, as a means of transport. Please don’t find it wanting.” Chen Xi forced the reins into the other’s hand. He still didn’t know the other person’s name after all this time, and the other party never mentioned their own name.
The old man looked at Chen Xi, pondered for a moment, and then nodded to accept the gift. He did have some urgent matters, and a horse would save him a lot of trouble.
Well, after all, it's a life-saving grace. I should repay it first. A doctor's heart is like a parent's; it's their business, but it's still my responsibility. The troubled times are coming soon. If my father-in-law has an accident, I won't be able to repay him even if I wanted to in the future.
After the old man left, Chen Xi closed the door and prepared to return to the inner room to read. For him, nothing was more important than studying the texts of this period, even though he had memories from his previous life as Chen Xi, they were not entirely complete.
“Young master, that horse was a gift the old master brought back from Bingzhou when he was alive. It wouldn't be good to give it away, would it” Chen Guanjia spoke after Chen Xi closed the door.
"It's nothing, I don't need that horse anyway. By the way, bring all the books from my study to my room. I need to review them again." Chen Xi shook his head and said. He also knew the value of the horse, but compared to the life-saving grace, he felt it was worth it, at least he could feel at ease.
Chen Xi's family was not poor; it was, in fact, a wealthy household. However, after his father Chen Luo passed away, Chen Xi fell seriously ill and spent most of the family fortune on medicine. Coupled with internal conflicts within the family, what had once been a prosperous family now found itself struggling financially.
However, for Chen Guanjia, as long as Chen Xi recovers from her illness, this Chen family still has hope of rising again. Originally, because Chen Xi fell ill and was unable to recover, most of the servants and female singers left. Until now, in such a large Chen family, only Chen Guanjia and Chen Lan, a maid who also works as a singer, remain.
As for this kind of thing, Chen Xi takes it very openly. Leaving is leaving, after all. The two most loyal ones left behind are also considered a good thing.
Since Chen Xi's body recovered, he hadn't left the Chen residence for three whole months. During this time, he had mastered all the knowledge he had once learned, such as writing, playing musical instruments, calligraphy, painting, and most importantly, spiritual power and formations.

After reviewing all this, Chen Xi had already understood that the late Eastern Han Dynasty was completely different from what she remembered. Perhaps history would be the same, but the world was completely different now.
Browsing through the history of the Chu-Han period, Chen Xi silently jotted down a passage. At the Battle of Gaixia, Xiang Yu, alone, defeated Liu Bang's 30,000 elite soldiers with his own might. Exhausted, he died in battle. Xiang Yu, who could have escaped, chose to die rather than disappoint his Jiangdong disciples. Even in death, the undefeated overlord was too formidable for anyone to approach.
Chen Xi carefully reviewed all the historical materials and finally determined one point: history had already begun to change during the Warring States period four hundred years ago.
At the very beginning, the change came from a meteorite, also known in historical records as the Divine Stone. This Divine Stone fell to the land of Central Plains, changing the physique of the people there.
Those who could cultivate qi to enhance their bodies were rare in the seven hundred years of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods. Even rarer were those who could temper their spiritual power to resonate with heaven and earth. But that stone caused a drastic change across the entire Central Plains region, fundamentally altering everyone's physique.
Qi can be cultivated by almost anyone, and the difficulty of tempering one's spiritual power has also been greatly reduced. This has led to the fact that the strength of martial generals during the Chu-Han period was even more powerful, and Xiang Yu happened to be the most top-tier among them.
To uproot mountains and shake the heavens, if placed in history's past, would seem exaggerated. However, in this world, it is a well-deserved title. At his peak, Xiang Yu could, with his own strength, pull out a small mountain and hurl it away. He could even liquefy air, and the solidified air, like miniature missiles, would create craters on the ground. In short, he was no longer human.
And in the subsequent four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, various martial arts schools emerged. The warriors who relied on their natural talent during the Chu-Han period gradually systematized a path of cultivation, making "one strike to kill a thousand" no longer a myth but a tangible reality.
Similarly, mental power refinement also emerged with its own schools of thought. So-called secret transmissions and Taoist techniques appeared. As it developed, there also arose methods to counter those top-tier warriors. The emergence of formations significantly weakened the killing ability of those elite warriors. Of course, if they were lone wolves, they would only have a dead end.

Over four hundred years of development, Qi and spiritual power can be said to have become widespread. Although most people don't master anything good, they are at least qualified to come into contact with these things. That is to say, this world's Han末 has all sorts of farmers who can throw hundreds of kilograms of boulders tens of meters away...
As for how strong the generals are, above there is a clear record that Xiang Yu could pull out mountains and throw them. So, according to the same proportion estimation, Chen Xi thinks Lu Bu with full force can smash a mountain into rubble...
