Chapter 62 The Taoist Priest's Decision
Chapter 62 The Taoist Priest's Decision
What did you hear?
Lingtong had taken off her blade armor and changed out of her combat uniform, returning to her favorite tight jeans and short-sleeved shirt, with her ponytail still smelling of shampoo.
Ling Tong described it accurately: "Some brief dream talk."
"It's just dream talk, if you heard anything," Wang Jixuan's eyes fell on the small notebook in Lingtong's hand, "I like reading novels, you know."
"Just found out."
Ling Tong said softly:
"Dream talk has no validity. I will not include it in my observation report about you."
"That's good……"
Taoist Wang hesitated to speak and carefully felt his own condition.
There are no big problems, just a bunch of small ones. Meditation later will allow the Dantian cyclone to be filled again. My spiritual perception has actually improved a little, and I am only a small step away from the state of concentration.
Magical skills consume potential, and occasionally slightly improve one's own cultivation. This time he used the soul control method, although it left a little worry, his own soul power also gained some increase.
As for the crystal core he got...
There is a small alloy box under the pillow, and the spiritual power fluctuations of the demon-suppressing talisman are coming from it.
It was obviously Lingtong who helped him organize it.
Ling Tong closed the novel, stood up and said, "Have a good rest. Don't worry about other things. I've already taken care of them for you."
"No problem," Wang Jixuan agreed immediately, and then seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ling Tong curled her lips slightly, and was still muttering quietly before leaving...
"Junior sister, don't."
"Senior sister, teach me."
Wang Jixuan raised his hands to cover his eyes, unable to bear to watch.
He said that using magic skills has serious side effects!
However, there is no other way to save your life, staying alive is the first prerequisite.
He picked up the text switch on the other side of the pillow, which contained a brief conversation between Ling Tong and Zhou Zhengde. Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly, as this saved him the trouble of arranging all this.
Will Institute Thirteen discover the matter of the crystal core?
This should happen sooner or later.
So what should he do next? Should he really rely on the military and live with Ling Tong? Actually, it's not impossible...
Taoist Wang kept thinking.
His thinking opened up a little. Although it was not possible to pass on his skills and his magic could not be revealed, it was not impossible to make some crystal core weapons.
"Yes, weapons."
Weapons are different from magic tools but most of them are magic tools. For example, Wang Jixuan Sect's treasure [The Second Best Sword in the Cultivation World] is extremely sharp without the need for spiritual power. A cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm can easily emit a hundred-foot sword beam in his hands, and can also absorb spiritual energy to restore his own spiritual power.
"The daggers used by human soldiers today are simply incapable of breaking the exoskeleton of a saber beast. How can this be possible?"
"Using the dagger is a last-ditch effort, and ordinary guns are difficult to penetrate, so we can only rely on heavy firepower."
"I cannot teach you the skills without permission, but I can make some weapons with crystal cores embedded in them. This is how I can repay Xiao Zhou for covering up for me."
Wang Jixuan's thoughts became more and more active.
The secrets of his practice must never be made public, at least not before he has the ability to protect himself, but he can come up with some new technology.
Cultivating immortal civilization and technology!
There are actually only three options for the future.
First, rely on the Thirteen Institutes.
This is definitely not an option. Thirteen has a big problem. There is a blade beast spirit in the crystal core, and the military must be alerted to this matter.
The second, and also his last retreat, is to leave the sphere of influence of humans and survive in the wilderness.
The probability of not surviving is quite high.
Third, cooperate with the military to a limited extent, especially with Zhou Zhengde’s grandfather, the devil’s commander-in-chief, the first driver of the terrifying mecha, and the last hero of the fortress era.
Master Wang would really like to make friends with this kind of person.
Especially...he and Zhou Zhengde's grandfather are barely of the same age, so maybe they have some common topics.
"If you don't make a decision, you will suffer the consequences. It's settled then. I will help the human military improve their daggers later."
"At least it can break the shell of the basic blade beast! The humans are fighting this battle in such a frustrating way."
Wang Jixuan picked up the text switch and sent a message to Zhou Zhengde.
[02: No need to reply. Get me all the ore you can get as soon as possible. Just a few samples will do. No alloys. Just freshly unearthed ore. Also give me some of the exoskeleton and flesh of the blade beasts in secret. I'll do some research. If everything goes well, I'll give you a small gift.]
Taoist Wang looked at the cabinet beside him, on which were two black polygonal exoskeletons.
This was the 'massage fee' that Lingtong had given him before.
Let’s make a formation plate first!
……
More than two hours later.
The energy in Wang Jixuan's Dantian has recovered and is full.
'It's good to have a low level of cultivation. Even if the spiritual energy is thin, it can be quickly filled.'
Taoist Wang forced a smile, bitter but with a hint of strength.
He took a piece of exo-bone the size of a sea bowl, on which was engraved the spirit-releasing formation of the spirit-gathering formation. He then wrapped three carefully selected crystal cores with air and carefully placed them in this small spirit-gathering formation.
The formation was not activated.
Taoist Wang took out a button battery and put it on the back of the array plate.
Several rotating small discs appeared on the array disk, and the array patterns were connected into one. A wisp of air stored in the corner floated over, and the array patterns flashed at the same time.
Pure spiritual energy ripples out.
Wang Jixuan immediately absorbed the spiritual energy and took off the button battery.
Become!
There is no need to worry about the array not being able to be used when there is no battery, as the discs can be directly pressed and rotated.
Is this design purely redundant?
indeed.
But this was an active attempt by Wang Jixuan. He was thinking about how to integrate cultivation and refining with modern machinery. The symbolic significance of this step was very important.
Now is not the time to break through.
This breakthrough requires concentrating spiritual consciousness and trying not to be disturbed. The whole process is estimated to take three hours, and it would be better to do it in the middle of the night.
Now with Ling Tong by his side and Xiao Zhou in the military, Wang Jixuan felt that he was relatively safe.
Hiding the formation plate under the pillow, Wang Jixuan stretched, opened the door and went out.
Lingtong was lying on the operating table in the middle for examination. The robotic arm on her right side had been removed. Sister Wan was controlling two instruments and checking the various data of the robotic arm. Wan Xiaoqi was holding a notebook and constantly recording something. She was studying seriously.
Uncle Tai rushed into the men's restroom, holding his belly, and yelled, "Xiao Wang! Are you okay? We need to talk about the damage to the alloy box! You used it as a shield, didn't you?"
Wang Jixuan smiled apologetically.
Lingtong opened her eyes and looked at Wang Jixuan. Having removed her right robotic arm, she had a different kind of beauty at this moment.
She whispered, "Have you recovered your spirit? We need to talk."
"Okay, do you want a massage?"
"want."
"Hold on."
Taoist Wang went back to his room, put on a pair of clean thin gloves, and before going out, he raised his arm and smelled it to make sure there was no smell of blade beast blood on his body.
He also wanted to discuss with Ling Tong the follow-up matters of "forging swords" for the military.
Not long after, Wang Jixuan gently pressed Lingtong's head with his fingers and let out a light exclamation in his heart.
The depression in Ling Tong's brain actually became stronger...
what happened?
As long as she fights with the blade beasts, this depression will grow?
Wang Jixuan's men did not stop, and scenes of fighting with the blade beasts emerged in his mind.
Those basic blade beasts also roar, which has a weak mental shock effect, and...
A possibility suddenly occurred to him.
"Your headache is getting worse?"
"Well," Ling Tong asked softly, "how did you know?"
Sister Wan and Wan Xiaoqi looked over, and Wang Jixuan said slowly, "The mark left by the mental shock has become heavier."
"Oh."
Lingtong agreed softly and closed her eyes to rest.
Even from this 'death angle', her delicate facial features were still so charming, especially her skin, which she maintained with no idea how, and was so fair, delicate and as smooth as a baby's.
Wang Jixuan reminded: "If there is a similar incident later, remember to wear the patch to prevent mental shock."
"That only works on psychics," Sister Wan said helplessly, "Is there any way to resolve it?"
"It will take at least two months, with a massage every day," Wang Jixuan said seriously, "My strength is too low."
Ling Tong said: "Then set the time to three months and don't put any pressure on yourself."
"On the premise that it won't get worse," Wang Jixuan muttered softly, "Why do I feel that this blade beast came in a strange way, as if it was specifically here to intensify your injuries?"
Lingtong pursed her lips and said nothing.
Sister Wan's eyes were filled with worry.
Wan Xiaoqi seemed to remember something: "There is another strange thing here, that is, these blade beasts do not have tracers on them. I don't know where they came from!"
Sister Wan said worriedly, "There must be a nest that we haven't discovered, or they may have come from the other side of the front line... On the other side of the front line, the blade beasts are breeding like crazy, and their population is too large!"
Wang Jixuan said, "I think this group of blade beasts is targeting Ling Tong."
"Aimed at me?"
"Well, they are organized... I saw a vertical pupil."
Vertical pupils?
Ling Tong suddenly opened his eyes: "We will talk about this in detail later, don't say more now."
Sister Wan immediately understood - this information should be highly confidential.
She quickly changed the subject: "Then let's continue to upgrade the firepower of this supply point."
"Okay," Lingtong agreed, then closed his eyes and wanted to sleep for a while.
squeak--
There was a sound of brakes in the distance outside the door.
Air, many mottled air masses, and more than a dozen psychics.
Taoist Wang was also a little annoyed.
These psychics!
They were nowhere to be seen when we were fighting the Blade Beasts, so why are they here to cause trouble now?
The Taoist master can tolerate it, but the Taoist mistress can’t!
However, Wang Jixuan also suspected that the other party came to him because he was missing eight crystal cores.
Lingtong opened her eyes and was about to sit up, but as soon as she moved, she felt two strong hands pressing on the edge of her neck and pushing her back into the seat.
Following the principle of one person taking responsibility for his own actions, Master Wang said in a cold and stern tone:
"you take a rest."
Wang Jixuan turned around the operating table with a dark face. His own aura quickly converged in his dantian. The dantian cyclone began to rotate at the slowest speed, while at the same time he started to practice the Return to Ordinary World Technique and the Turtle Breath Technique.
"Xiao Qi, bring me a box of high-explosive grenades!"
"Yes! No... who are you going to command as a newcomer?"
Half a minute later.
Wang Jixuan quickly put on his armed vest, stuffed his pockets with high-explosive grenades, grabbed an automatic rifle with a grenade launcher, and rushed out of the supply station with Uncle Tai, who had just pulled up his pants and picked up his weapon.
Wan Xiaoqi sat firmly behind the operating table and quickly mobilized weapons from every corner of the supply station, aiming his guns at the group of psychics in front of the door.
Lingtong looked at him quietly, with a faint smile on his face.
"It's rare to see you smile," Sister Wan whispered.
"Because I can take a break and fish."
Lingtong responded softly, and the fingers of his left robotic arm shook gently, and several large alloy boxes in the corner of the workshop were activated at the same time.
Ling Tong said casually: "Sister Wan, vertical pupils are confidential information, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"Okay," Sister Wan agreed, "From this point of view, Xiao Wang is no small matter."
Ling Tong also said: "Well, he is not only good-looking..."
There was a gunshot outside the door.
Snapped!
The sound of rifle fire.
Then Wang Jixuan's voice was heard: "Everyone stop! Shoot immediately if you get within three meters!"
Sister Wan praised quietly: "Shoot first and then warn. He has initially integrated into our team."
"Is there any surveillance footage?" Ling Tong asked.
"Boss! This way!"
Wan Xiaoqi ran over.
