Chapter 50: The First Close Encounter with the Blade Beast
Chapter 50: The First Close Encounter with the Blade Beast
Taoist friends who often practice Taoism know that spirit gathering arrays are mainly divided into two categories.
Huiling and Shiling.
What Wang Jixuan needs now is the Spirit Release Array to release and purify the spiritual energy inside the spirit stone. The Qi Refiner can absorb this spiritual energy to strengthen himself or restore his magic power.
He first took out three bone-piercing nails, disassembled them one by one, carefully erased the restrictions engraved inside, and replaced them with array patterns.
Soon, intermittent black circles appeared in front of Wang Jixuan. He took out three diamond-shaped "crystal cores" from his pocket, wrapped them with his breath, made them float above the circles, and then gently pressed down.
Accompanied by an inaudible "click" sound.
The array patterns on the sixteen-section blade beast exoskeleton fragments lit up at the same time, and wisps of spiritual power were released from the array patterns, transforming into a misty colorless aura.
Available!
Wang Jixuan clenched his fists tightly and almost howled to the sky.
It's a pity to hold back.
This is my dormitory. Since it is not working hours, it is quite lively outside and people pass by from time to time.
Wang Jixuan immediately held his Yuan Shou Yi and actively circulated the energy in his body. Wisps of colorless spiritual energy quickly gathered towards his palm.
Finally, he briefly regained the joy and pleasure of his previous life's practice!
Ninety-two to ninety-three percent of the spiritual energy here was directly absorbed by him, and it was inevitable that there would be some loss of formation and air leakage.
He didn't dare to let himself enter a state of meditation. At this moment, he just focused on absorbing all spiritual energy, improving his own cultivation, and trying to clear his mind as much as possible.
He was rapidly approaching the state where the breath was full.
Although he is cultivating again and has no lack of insights, the foundation of this Taoist body is not that good, and he has not started practicing since childhood. During the foundation-building period, he must find ways to lay a solid and strong foundation for his own Taoism.
The matter of the Black Fire Gang has come to an end for the time being.
However, the problems caused by the Black Fire Gang are more troublesome and more uncontrollable, such as the Psychic City, the War Zone Command Front... and so on.
At this moment, Wang Jixuan was anxious to absorb the spiritual energy in the crystal core, and was also considering the issue of "escaping".
If Captain Zhou can't hold on, then he can only leave the fortress and try to survive in the gap between human technological civilization and the blade beasts.
'It would be best if I could practice peacefully for a while longer.'
Gradually, Wang Jixuan began to feel a sense of fullness in all his limbs.
The heart of Tao is joyful and the five senses are clear.
He could clearly feel a faint spiritual light appearing in his purple palace and a simple cyclone appearing in his dantian.
The breath is full!
A flash of inspiration!
The first small step in cultivation has finally been taken!
He is finally now! No, he should still be an E-level psychic with biological energy reactions...
The Qi training realm focuses on training Qi, using spiritual energy to transform into magic power to nourish the body, and using the body's essence to cultivate the soul, so that one can enter the realm of concentrating the spirit.
The sign of perfect Qi training is that the Qi sea is like clouds.
The sign of entering the state of concentration is the emergence of the first ray of spiritual consciousness.
Master Wang is still a little short of it.
After he enters the Concentrated Spirit Realm, there will be a relatively long period of cultivation. The cultivator must practice Qi to strengthen the body, concentrate the spirit to forge the soul, and gradually be reborn. When he can return to his innate nature and his Taoist body is initially pure, he can enter the realm of returning to the truth.
To return to the true state, one must focus on immersing oneself in the Dao, communicating with heaven and earth, and concentrating one's own divinity.
Refining Qi, concentrating the mind, returning to the truth, and returning to emptiness. Once these four stages are achieved, one can complete the foundation building and begin preparing to condense the golden elixir.
'Although my foundation in my previous life was perfect, it was not solid enough.'
Wang Jixuan thought so.
If the environment permits, he actually wants to build his foundation for a few more years.
Unfortunately, the cultivation environment in this world is extremely bad, and he cannot find a safe cave.
About three hours passed like this.
Wang Jixuan felt that the amount of spiritual energy he could absorb began to decrease rapidly. Just as he was about to open his eyes, one of the three crystal cores made a ping sound and cracks appeared on it.
Broke directly?
As expected of a lowest-level blade beast crystal core, the other two still have a bit of spiritual power left...
——The perfusion equipment in the fortress's psychic house is equivalent to the smallest instrument component. Only one person can enter at a time, and it can only use the crystal cores of the lowest-level blade beasts.
Ok?
Wang Jixuan opened his eyes slightly and stared at the broken crystal core with an extremely serious expression.
A ball of light black gas was being drawn away from the crystal core and quickly gathering together.
There seemed to be a pair of eyes that seemed to be there and not there in the black air.
The remaining soul of the blade beast?
Wang Jixuan did not dare to be careless. This was his first time using a blade beast crystal core. He had learned that the process of using blade beast crystal cores to infuse and produce psychics had an extremely high mortality rate...
"hiss--"
A sound like a lizard spitting out its tongue suddenly came from the black air!
Wang Jixuan pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes, and golden and black lines appeared on his forehead.
He felt a threat from the unknown and was ready to use his magic to protect himself at any time!
suddenly!
A shadow emerged from the black air!
This phantom was only two fingers long but had a complete whisker and tail. At this moment, it was drilling towards Wang Jixuan's forehead at an extremely fast speed!
"Bah!"
Wang Jixuan's tongue bursts into spring thunder!
He suddenly clasped his hands together, two beams of golden light burst out of his eyes, and two auras were contained in his palms. He narrowly caught the phantom.
The sharp scream penetrated into Wang Jixuan's heart!
The thing held down by Wang Jixuan's palms was struggling violently!
Wang Jixuan was unable to pull it away from him for a moment, so he opened his eyes and looked at it carefully.
What a monster this is!
The demon head of this thing does not have the facial features of any creature known to Wang Jixuan, such as humans, beasts, and birds. It only has a huge mouthpart with circles of sharp teeth inside, and in the middle is a long tongue sticking out!
Behind its mouthparts is a thick neck, its body is similar to that of a tiger but covered with a layer of armor, it has six claws with finger blades, and behind its six knee joints are sharp "knife limbs", and there is also a sharp blade protruding outwards on its back.
At this moment, the residual soul of the blade beast kept taking various forms while struggling.
When it curls up its body, the 'sharp blades' on its back and limbs make it a 'tire' full of sharp blades!
In fact, the Saber Beasts got their name from this form of the most numerous basic combat Saber Beasts.
Wang Jixuan held the two balls of air in his palms, suppressing it tightly and not daring to let it move forward even an inch.
Fortunately, it’s just the lowest level remnant soul!
The struggling strength of the blade beast's residual soul was constantly decreasing. Wang Jixuan did not dare to be careless. He slowly pulled it away from his facial area, and the talismans and spells that could be used now flashed through his mind, and he pushed forward suddenly.
The remaining soul of the blade beast was pushed out three feet, circling in the air, roaring and rushing towards Wang Jixuan!
The casting time is only three seconds!
Wang Jixuan's hands shook rapidly, almost leaving an afterimage, as he completed nine seals and pointed his sword forward!
"All those who are facing a fight must march forward in formation!"
hum!
Shallow ripples appeared at Wang Jixuan's fingertips, and the remaining soul of the blade beast that was flying towards him was affected by the ripples, and its body quickly turned into bits of ashes.
It’s not over yet.
The ashes kept flickering, and a very faint vertical pupil appeared inside. There was light flickering in the pupil, staring at Wang Jixuan.
What the hell? Did the old demon among the blade beasts leave a ban or something else?
Wang Jixuan stared at the other party. His Taoist heart did not allow him to be the slightest bit timid towards such a demon, and his vertical pupils conveyed obvious emotions.
Uh, if Wang Jixuan understood correctly, this emotion should be...
【disdain】.
In just a moment, the vertical pupil disappeared.
Wang Jixuan held his breath and watched the spiritual energy dissipate, then looked down at the two crystal cores that still had a little spiritual power left.
A breeze blew and he felt a chill on his back.
This……
He frowned and concentrated, picked up a crystal core and sensed it carefully.
There is not much spiritual power left in the crystal core.
He secretly thanked his luck, thankful that for the sake of safety, he used the formation to extract the spiritual energy inside, instead of absorbing it directly in his hands.
If he absorbed it directly, it is very likely that the extremely weak residual soul of the blade beast inside would "take advantage of the opportunity" and even if he could protect his soul, he might still suffer serious damage.
My goodness, is it so dangerous to accelerate the practice in this world?
but……
Practice foul language.
Was he just looked down upon by the owner of that big eye, a high-level blade beast?
Okay, okay, very good.
Three hundred years in the east, three hundred years in the west, don’t look down on an old Taoist priest because he is poor!
If we use the spirit gathering array to extract spiritual power, leaving a little spiritual power in the crystal core each time, then we don't have to worry about the invasion of the residual soul of the blade beast?
Then, Wang Jixuan suddenly thought of something.
The crystal core that Zheng Shiduo carried with him still contained some weak spiritual power.
In other words, there might be residual souls of blade beasts in there?
He frowned and thought, the image of the residual soul of the blade beast kept appearing in his mind. He decided to find an opportunity to remind Lingtong later.
If this lowest-level blade beast is so terrifying, then what about the higher-level blade beasts...
"You should try to be thick-skinned and practice in the fortress for a while longer."
Wang Jixuan clenched his fist slightly, and the already obvious cyclone in his dantian rotated slightly. A breath quickly flowed through his body, and a thin layer of air armor appeared on the tip of his fist.
The sea of qi has condensed.
The Qi training stage is almost complete!
The next step is to continue practicing, nourishing the soul, concentrating spiritual consciousness, and entering the state of concentration!
Wang Jixuan smiled as he quickly collected the three used crystal cores and sealed them with talismans, thinking about how to get more crystal cores later.
Just these three hours of spiritual practice were enough to equal his fifty days of practice in the greenhouse area of the Wanlijin Gang in the lower city!
This is the importance of spirit stones!
Wang Jixuan planned to keep the remaining three crystal cores for use when he breaks through to the Divine Condensation Realm. In order to condense the first ray of spiritual consciousness, a lot of spiritual energy would be consumed.
"Don't let up. After working so hard for so long, you only see a glimmer of hope for the immortal path."
Wang Jixuan chuckled and continued to think about how to prevent the invasion of the residual soul of the blade beast.
He has many ways to do this.
But even a good cook cannot cook without rice, and each method requires corresponding resources.
He picked up the text switch next to him, on which there was a message from Zhou Zhengde, sent half an hour ago.
[01: It should be fine for now. An old S-level psychic in the Psychic City is negotiating with my grandfather. The psychic wants to apply a law that requires all psychics to undergo regular inspections at the Psychic House, and use this to send you to the Psychic City. My grandfather refused, saying that you are not a psychic. According to my grandfather's assistant, my grandfather is holding a button in his hand, and the psychic seems to be very afraid. What should we eat to celebrate tonight? ]
Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment, but did not feel relieved yet.
He was considering whether to go to the lower city to hide first...
"Continue to interrogate Kong Nu."
Taoist Wang closed his eyes and sensed. The situation within a radius of 100 meters appeared in his mind, and he could already vaguely see some human figures.
Wang Jixuan raised his sword and pointed it lightly. The soul-capturing talisman slowly unfolded, and a three-inch-tall residual soul appeared on it.
The lights in the room were off at this moment. Wang Jixuan slowly approached, his stern face having the beauty of a judge from the underworld.
He raised his sword and ignited a trace of true fire.
The remaining soul of Kong Nu kept howling in Wang Jixuan's heart.
Taoist Wang silently cut off Kong Nu's howls and continued to release his true fire, feeling the increased endurance brought by his improved cultivation.
He is not a pervert, and he would not feel excited by hearing the screams of souls.
I simply wanted to make Kong Nu suffer a little more before he died.
It burned for about ten minutes.
Wang Jixuan stopped calcining in order to cherish his mana, looked at Kong Nu's trembling soul, and said softly:
"The landlady's eldest son, please tell me something you think might interest me."
"When you stop telling your story, or it stops being interesting to me, I will completely consume you with real fire."
"I can give you a hint, for example, your psychic infusion technique."
Kong Nu shivered a few times and shouted in a trembling voice: "We have a monitoring chip in our brain... No, I have no body... Who are you? Who are you? What kind of technology is this! My soul!"
Wang Jixuan smiled without saying anything, and a little flame burst out from his fingertips.
……
After half an hour.
Wang Jixuan was lying on the bed, feeling his head buzzing. Even though he had made sufficient preparations beforehand, he was still shocked by those numbers.
He seemed to see piles of bones and a sea of blood.
"He is truly a great demon in the world, and has harmed tens of thousands of people."
In addition, Wang Jixuan also inquired in detail about the communication between Ye Zi and Kong Nu.
What surprised Wang Jixuan was that Kong Nu still believed that Ye Zi was innocent before he died. She was the last bit of kindness left to him by her mother, and she was an uncontaminated white lotus...
Ye Zi and Kong Nu's family went to Fortress No. 82, and they should be able to be caught later.
Wang Jixuan’s spiritual sense twitched slightly.
Zhou Zhengde and Dr. Wei Na were jogging over here.
He immediately jumped up, tore the soul-stealing talisman into pieces, quickly went to the toilet, lit the soul-stealing talisman fragments with real fire, let the ashes fall into the toilet water, and pressed the flush button.
Wang Jixuan opened his left hand, and the broken bones of the blade beasts that formed a simple spirit gathering formation fell into his palm. He casually stuffed them into his pocket and opened the alloy door.
Zhou Zhengde's fist missed when he was about to knock on the door and almost hit Wang Jixuan.
Zhou Zhengde looked around and said in a deep voice:
"Quick! Follow me first! Lingtong might come to catch you! My communication equipment has been hacked by her! I'll take you to find my grandfather!"
Wang Jixuan was stunned.
Wei Na had already opened a long windbreaker and was going to put it on Wang Jixuan.
He was about to agree when his senses skipped a beat.
At the edge of sight, Lingtong's tall and slender figure appeared at the end of the capillary channel.
