Chapter 45: A Model of Innocence and Sincerity
The "Realm Enhancement Acceleration Cabin" is an enhanced device independently developed by Wenrui. It refers to the design of Captain America's super soldier enhancement cabin and is specially improved according to the physical characteristics of cultivators in the prehistoric world. The utilization rate of spirit stones is much higher than that of similar magic weapons.
Iron Man Tony's level 5 intelligence is still quite powerful. Although compared with Rick's level 10 intelligence, he is still like a mentally retarded existence. He can't figure out the principles of "magic", "divine power" and "power of faith" and use black technology like Rick in a few seconds, but as long as given enough time, Tony can also reverse-engineer the very unscientific Infinity Stones and create a technological version of the Infinity Gloves.
Wen Rui originally wanted to use this machine on himself after designing and manufacturing it. Unfortunately, after testing, he found that its efficiency was too poor. With the same consumption of spirit stones, the spiritual power absorption rate of waste spiritual roots was less than one millionth of that of ordinary spiritual roots. Even if Wen Rui's billions of fortune were burned, he could only be promoted to the Golden Core Stage at most.
This machine is a real treasure for cultivators with top-grade spiritual roots, especially for those with holy spirit roots like Luan Qingyu. As long as there are enough spirit stones, the speed of improving one's realm can be accelerated hundreds or thousands of times.
Of course, even so, the spiritual stones consumed by the machine are astronomical. If Wen Rui did not want to observe the entire process of the cultivator's breakthrough from the Nascent Soul stage to the Return to Void stage, and analyze all the information and data from it, he would not be willing to move it out to give it to Luan Qingyu.
"Junior Sister Luan, you have no chance of defeating a fighting genius like Junior Sister He at the Nascent Soul stage. But if you can raise your realm to the Return to Void stage, which is two realms higher than hers, you still have a chance of winning by using force to defeat cleverness."
Wen Rui pointed at the acceleration cabin and said, "My Jie Sect teaches everyone without distinction, and emphasizes teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. The most reasonable advice I can give you, senior brother, is to maximize your strengths in cultivation talent and avoid your weaknesses."
"Brother, are you planning to use this magic weapon to help me quickly improve my cultivation level?"
Luan Qingyu, who had obviously behaved a lot, asked curiously, "I have just been promoted to the Nascent Soul stage. If I practice normally, it will take another hundred years to advance again. Even if I use this treasure to shorten the practice time to fifty years, it is still too long. Moreover, relying too much on external forces to force the promotion will lead to an unstable foundation."
After practicing for a hundred years, one can advance from the Nascent Soul stage to the Great Perfection stage and lay the foundation for advancement to the Return to Void stage. Such practice efficiency was insignificant before the Conferred God Stage, but in the current era of greatly diminished spiritual energy, it is already a genius among geniuses.
"A hundred years is too long, we must seize the day."
Wen Rui smiled and said, "How can the treasure developed by my Jinling Sect be compared with the shabby equipment of ordinary sects? According to my calculations, with your spiritual root aptitude, using this acceleration chamber, you can be promoted to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection in at most one month."
"One month? How is this possible..."
Luan Qingyu had a look of disbelief on her face. Born into a wealthy family of cultivators, she had a lot of experience. In the ancient times, it was not uncommon for a mortal to be promoted from a beginner to a great perfection in just one month, and it was not uncommon for a mortal to be directly promoted to an immortal.
For example, Chang'e ascended to heaven and became an immortal on the same day after taking the elixir of immortality.
But times have changed. After the great catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, billions of years of ancient treasures had already been collected by the immortals who participated in the war and were all consumed in the battlefield of ten thousand immortals.
The rich spiritual energy that fills the heaven and earth is becoming increasingly thin. If a cultivator wants to make rapid progress, unless he encounters a great opportunity, it will be difficult to improve his realm even if he practices step by step for hundreds of years. The difficulty of improving his practice has increased exponentially.
It is for this reason that the argument has spread in the world of cultivation that the four essential elements of cultivation, namely “Dharma, friends, wealth and land”, are indispensable.
The immortals in ancient times did not need any Dharma, friends, wealth or land. They could just lie down anywhere and breathe to achieve advancement.
Luan Qingyu frowned and pondered, "Even if the Jinling Sect's treasure has magical effects, the spiritual stones consumed must be very huge. If the realm is quickly promoted in such a short period of time, wouldn't the foundation be in a mess..."
"I will arrange everything. You just need to sign the agreement to voluntarily participate in the Realm Accelerator Test and follow my instructions."
Wen Rui lost no time in handing over a jade slip of agreement.
Luan Qingyu took the jade slip and read it carefully. The densely packed clauses inside made her confused and bewildered.
This agreement clearly states the rights and obligations of both parties.
Luan Qingyu voluntarily participated in the test and is obliged to provide Wen Rui with a full experience report during the practice. He must not conceal anything, nor deliberately resist, intentionally sabotage, or delay the progress of the test, otherwise he will be responsible for all the consequences.
Wenrui provides testing equipment free of charge, supports the consumption of spirit stones for the experiment, provides comprehensive technical guidance, and solemnly promises that the foundation will be solid after the realm is improved, which is no different from normal practice and advancement.
The agreement was very detailed and even listed risk clauses, stating that although the quality of the realm rapid improvement equipment was reliable, there were still risks, and the estimated failure rate was about three percent.
The possible consequences of failure include but are not limited to death on the spot, realm decline, spiritual root damage, gene mutation, soul damage...
If the attempt fails, both parties will share the consequences. Wen Rui will be responsible for paying for medical treatment and medication to treat the injury, and Luan Qingyu will give up the right to pursue prosecution or revenge.
If she unfortunately died, Wen Rui would pay the funeral expenses and condolence money to her family, and promised to find Luan Qingyu's reincarnated body, or the body of Nirvana, and cultivate her to return to the Nascent Soul stage...
Luan Qingyu just glanced over the risk clause and didn't take it seriously at all. Cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. Even if you meditate and practice by yourself, there is a risk of going astray. If you are afraid of accidents and dare not take the risk to try, then what's the point of cultivating immortals?
Luan Qingyu had heard the sisters from Caiyun Peak mention Wen Rui's quirk of signing agreements. Although everyone complained that Senior Brother Wen always liked to force people to sign unequal treaties to take advantage of his junior sisters, no one had ever said that he did not keep his promises or was unwilling to fulfill them, and they tacitly acknowledged that he was trustworthy.
Although he was still unsure, Luan Qingyu no longer hesitated, gathered spiritual power on his fingertips, and signed his name on the jade slip. After signing, Wen Rui put away the jade slip and introduced the glass jar to Luan Qingyu in detail:
"The usage of this tank is not complicated. You just need to put yourself in the tank, and after the solution submerges your whole body, you can adjust your breathing according to the normal practice steps. Be careful not to enter a state of meditation, and stay awake throughout the process. Because the tank is equipped with a display screen, it will promptly feedback the real-time changes in the practice indicators to you and give you reasonable breathing advice."
"How magical." Luan Qingyu blinked and said, "I have never heard of other auxiliary cultivation magic tools having this function."
"In the world of cultivation, things like ancient magic weapons have always been black box technologies, and many ancient secret manuals handed down are also like this."
Wen Rui shrugged and said, "The more ancient the secret manuals and magic weapons are, the less people dare to open them for research, or even make any changes, as if the older they are, the better. There is absolutely no desire for innovation or progress. This machine is different. I have thoroughly understood all the principles, and I polished every part by hand. What's so strange about adding an information feedback component?"
"Oh."
Luan Qingyu obviously didn't quite understand what was said, so he responded casually and walked in through the sealed door on the side of the tank.
She was in the infusion, looking around like a curious baby, and asked, "What posture should I use to enter into meditation and regulate my breathing? Should I sit cross-legged with my five hearts facing the origin, or stand like a flying goddess?"
"You don't need to practice in a specific posture. Once the solution is poured in, you will float up and you can relax naturally."
"Oh."
Luan Qingyu relaxed in response, staring at Wen Rui in the jar, and after a moment, he tilted his head and asked, "When does it start?"
Wen Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, somewhat surprised that after some treatment, this Junior Sister Luan turned out to be so effective and had become so accomplished.
The other party was too cooperative, and Wen Rui felt uneasy. He had experienced too many bad things in the past few hundred years. Every day he was either cheating others or being cheated. It was inevitable that he became suspicious.
Accustomed to assuming the worst of all cultivators in the world, he couldn't tell for a moment whether Junior Sister Luan was pure-hearted and focused by nature or was good at pretending and playing along.
But on second thought, the other party is a disciple of the Lishan Immortal Sect after all. The Lishan Holy Mother protects these children very well. In the huge Lishan Mountain Gate, there is only Wen Rui, a bad-hearted person who harms people. The younger sisters cannot find a role model even if they want to learn to be bad.
Facing Luan Qingyu's clear and foolish eyes, Wen Rui would rather believe that she was indeed very stupid and naive, and easier to fool than He Lingyun.
However, Wen Rui did not hesitate to test it: "Junior sister, we can start at any time, but once the experiment begins, we have to inject the solution. Your clothes are of spiritual treasure grade, and the strong spiritual power fluctuations emitted will have a significant impact on the operation of the acceleration cabin..."
"Oh."
Before Wen Rui finished speaking, the girl nodded in understanding, took off her clothes naturally, put them into her bag, and threw the bag out of the glass jar.
"Is this all right?" the naked girl asked with her head tilted, without any intention of hiding anything.
Despite the vivid scene, Wen Rui looked calm. He waved his hands behind his back, signaling the metal puppet holding cotton underwear and preparing to move forward to quietly retreat.
After this test, Wen Rui was basically certain that the naked child in front of him was a fool. No wonder she couldn't even understand the junior high school textbooks.
Wen Rui has been lingering in the Lishan Mountains for hundreds of years, quietly observing the demon cultivators of the Lishan Immortal Sect for hundreds of years. Not to mention observing the behaviors of the transformed demon cultivators, even observing the habits of wild animals, with so many years of experience, he can be called an expert in animal behavior.
It is actually very simple to distinguish whether female demon cultivators are smart or not. You just need to evaluate their degree of anthropomorphism. The higher the degree of anthropomorphism, the more human-like their response to external stimuli, and the higher their IQ and EQ, and vice versa.
Compared with the silly child in front of her, He Lingyun is obviously more human. At least she knows the difference between men and women and has a sense of shame. Her personality is not much different from that of an ordinary human girl.
The person in front of me doesn't even consider himself a human being. He still perceives himself as a bird. His innocent heart is closer to the way of nature, so it's no wonder that he has made rapid progress in cultivation.
Wen Rui originally just wanted to test Luan Qingyu's shame reaction to judge the level of her emotional intelligence and EQ. He had already prepared replacement underwear and really didn't want to take advantage of her. However, he never expected that this child was so generous and didn't care at all.
Once you are no longer embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Wen Rui has lived for hundreds of years and has seen all kinds of situations. He has always been very good at managing his facial expressions. Once others are no longer embarrassed, then the situation will offset each other and even the most outrageous things will seem normal.
The girl does not wear underwear, which makes it easier to observe the movement of spiritual energy in the meridians, and also provides better visual effects during the boring and long equipment debugging process.
Following the principle that if you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you will suffer a loss, Wen Rui happily went with the flow, stroking the stubble on his chin and nodding approvingly, praising: "Junior Sister Luan's aspiration to the Tao is sincere and pure, and she has no worries in her heart. She is truly a role model for our generation! Senior Brother is very optimistic about you~"
