Chapter 64 A little test of one’s skills!
Supply station, in the room.
The Dantian contains the sea of Qi, and the Purple Palace gives birth to spiritual consciousness.
Wang Jixuan was surrounded by wisps of green light. When he opened his eyes, he could see the fine ridges in the paint on the iron wall.
He put his hands together and pressed down slowly with his sword fingers. The Qi in Dantian, which could barely be called the 'Qi Sea', gradually descended at an accelerated rate, and the surrounding spiritual energy was gradually absorbed by him.
In the array plate in front of him, the three crystal cores still had about one-tenth of spiritual power, which were pulled out by Wang Jixuan and sealed with a demon-sealing talisman.
The Concentrated Spirit Realm is the second realm of cultivation.
Successful breakthrough!
The process of Wang Jixuan's condensing his spiritual consciousness was simpler than he had previously thought.
The whole process didn't take three hours.
Wang Jixuan didn’t feel too excited, he just felt that his thoughts were much clearer.
It was probably because this was only the second level of cultivation, and Wang Jixuan had already experienced it once in his previous life.
His residual soul is like a seed that has taken root in this body and today has completely merged with it.
From then on, there was no more Mu Liang and no more Wang Zheng.
"My strength should be much better than yesterday."
'Alas, it was mainly because it was too low before.'
A faint smile appeared on Wang Jixuan's lips. He closed his eyes and concentrated, with his sword finger erected in front of his nose, and his spiritual awareness spread out like flowing water.
This is a small spell.
In an instant, a bird's-eye view of thirty meters nearby appeared in his mind, and the picture was very clear.
Uncle Tai and Sister Wan fell asleep on the second floor. There is no more entertainment for middle-aged and elderly people.
Wan Xiaoqi, who was on duty today, was sitting in front of the operating table wearing dirty overalls and shirt, playing an arcade game on an old-fashioned game console.
Lingtong was still outside his room.
She fell asleep in the chair, and a pair of mechanical arms automatically turned on the sentry mode, and no one could get within half a meter of her.
Wang Jixuan said sorry in his heart.
He also couldn't explain the breakthrough in seclusion too directly, so as to cause her to misunderstand.
I’ll try to make it up to her later by giving her a magical tool or something.
'Survey the camp.'
Then, Wang Jixuan's sword finger swung lightly and tapped on his forehead.
The bird's-eye view that emerged in his mind turned into a normal level view, and he could explore the area with a radius of more than 200 meters with him as the center at will.
There are no formations or barriers, and his spiritual awareness is omnipresent.
What a wonderful word!
But... uh... at night there were a lot of human-shaped frogs hugging each other... and you could hear a lot of "ah" sounds...
Taoist Wang smiled and shook his head, then he penetrated his spiritual consciousness into the ground, looking for the reason why the concentration of spiritual energy underground was slightly greater than that on the ground.
Even to the limit of his current spiritual awareness, Wang Jixuan still did not make any additional discoveries.
He saw the corners of the mine, the miners working the night shift, and the soldiers patrolling everywhere, occasionally with small mechanical dogs and self-service guard robots.
Wang Jixuan was a little absent-minded.
Everyone has their own things to do, and everyone is trying to live under the threat of blade beasts. This feeling is pretty good.
He vaguely saw with his spiritual consciousness that at the corner of a mine, a male miner wiped the sweat from his face and put down the power tools in his hands. A female miner next to him immediately handed him a thermos. The two were a couple, and they were talking in a low voice.
"Wife, we will have ten years of service in two months, and we can send our child to Central City."
"Will they really let you deliver it?"
"The gangs won't, but the fortress will. Coming here to mine is actually an opportunity to escape from the gang's territory. Although it's a bit tiring every day, we can live with more dignity than before."
"Well, the fortress is pretty good."
"If the fortress was really good, how could it be possible that the gangs were allowed to continue to commit crimes in the downtown area? This is the order of the fortress design."
"Hubby, please stop talking. It would be terrible if you can't pass the thought test later."
"Don't worry, your husband is fine. Come on, have a sip."
"Oh, there's dust on your mouth! Wipe it off first."
Wang Jixuan did not continue listening. He slowly withdrew his spiritual consciousness and some insights arose in his heart.
Living in this world, there are many sufferings.
Killing demons and eliminating evil should not just be a slogan shouted casually by righteous practitioners. There are indeed many people in the world who are threatened by demons and evil.
There are still evil people who act recklessly, and the righteous monks should help the weak and fight against the strong... Well, they should help the weak and fight against the strong on the premise of ensuring that they will not die.
Taoist Wang was just about to stand up.
suddenly.
goo—
Wang Jixuan's hair stood on end!
He turned his head to look in the direction of the fortress, and just as he was about to retract his spiritual awareness, he immediately spread it out in the direction of the fortress like a net.
He just has a low level of cultivation and his spiritual awareness is not strong enough, but his Tao realm and magic are still there, as well as the skills to control his spiritual awareness.
Soon, Wang Jixuan caught a series of 'cooing' sounds.
The source comes from... the main body of the fortress?
Taoist Wang was a little confused.
His spiritual sense was not able to detect that far, so he could only sense carefully at this moment. The gurgling sound lasted for more than ten seconds and then disappeared.
There are two anomalies here.
First, the cry that appeared this time was similar to the cry he heard before the fierce battle with the mutant blade beast, but it was completely different.
Secondly, the person who made this cry... was very weak, with no energy left, as if he was on the verge of death.
'That direction, sloping downward, seems to be the third floor of the fortress...are those psykers causing trouble?'
Wang Jixuan had the idea of exploring the fortress, but he quickly dismissed the idea.
can not go.
Don’t get complacent just because you’ve achieved a breakthrough!
He is just a minor cultivator in the Concentrated Spirit Realm, and not a middle-level Jindan cultivator in the cultivation world!
How can I remind Xiao Lingtong about this?
He can't say it directly, otherwise he would have to explain what spiritual consciousness is, what purple palace is, what is training qi and concentrating the spirit, and what is fasting and foundation building.
Have it.
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly and opened the door of his room.
A red flash appeared on the robotic arm.
Wang Jixuan quickly said, "Lingtong! Sir!"
"Ok?"
Lingtong opened his eyes and the robotic arm automatically exited sentry mode.
She stood up subconsciously: "What's wrong?" "Something happened."
Wang Jixuan grabbed her mechanical arm and pulled her into the house. Before Lingtong could break free from his pull, he immediately said, "I saw it again!"
"What did you see?"
“Vertical pupil!” Wang Jixuan frowned and shouted in a low voice, “It’s in the direction of the fortress! But it’s a little different from the previous one!”
Ling Tong's expression was a little more confused: "You mean, there are baby kingworms in the direction of the fortress?"
"I don't know if it is, I heard a cooing noise."
"Like a pigeon?"
"Yes."
"Which direction exactly?"
"The upper fortress should be no more than a hundred meters from the ground."
Lingtong turned around and ran back to her room, carefully taking off the dress made of ordinary fabric and the stockings on her legs.
——This kind of decorative materials is difficult to find.
Wang Jixuan quickly put away his spiritual consciousness, and said in his heart, "Don't look at anything inappropriate." He shouted outside, "Do you want me to accompany you?"
"No, I will mobilize the cleanup troops first. Xiao Qi calls the fortress garrison."
"Yes!"
Wan Xiaoqi was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly sat down in front of the operating table and started pressing buttons.
Lingtong quickly rushed out of the supply station. Uncle Tai and Sister Wan quickly got into work mode and prepared equipment for Lingtong. Two large mechanical dogs quickly attacked a few minutes later and automatically searched for Lingtong's traces.
Wang Jixuan watched from behind the console for a while, and was finally relieved after confirming that Ling Tong had gone to the garrison to "mobilize troops" instead of going directly to cause trouble for those psychics.
What if I find the wrong one?
No problem.
For those psychics, it's always good to check more.
Taoist Priest Wang didn't pay much attention to the situation here. Instead, he walked to the corner, squatted in front of the large boxes of "supplies" and began to search.
Dozens or hundreds of types of ores were packed in two boxes.
Taoist Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the box and went to the outer workshop, where he began his screening journey.
After condensing his spiritual consciousness, refining equipment will be twice as effective with half the effort. He can directly find out the affinity between the material and spiritual energy, as well as whether the material itself is transparent or not.
This is also a big question.
……
On the other side of the fortress, Lingtong led the cleanup troops into the psychic's home.
At the supply station, after being busy for about an hour, Wang Jixuan looked at the table full of "samples", crossed his arms and fell into deep thought.
There was a lot of material he was familiar with;
But unfortunately, these materials have no spirituality and can only be used as ordinary iron, and they need to be infused with spirituality.
Generally speaking, the best precious materials used in refining equipment are born in places with rich spiritual energy, and many top-quality precious materials are born with spiritual veins.
Spiritual veins are one of the two major sources of spiritual energy in the world of cultivation, the other source being the pure energy from heaven.
Taoist Wang briefly concluded that many of the materials before him could actually be used. With simple tempering and engraving of restrictions, they could create some pretty good magical instruments.
"Strange, is there no spiritual vein in this world? Or are all the spiritual veins occupied by blade beasts?"
"What's wrong, Xiao Wang? I see you were making a fuss here just now."
Uncle Tai strolled over yawning, took a cigarette and lit it, looking at the table full of minerals.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Jixuan said calmly: "Get a knife that can cut the exoskeleton of an ordinary blade beast."
"Ah?" Uncle Tai was stunned. "How do we do this? Use a metal knife to break the exoskeleton of the Blade Beast?"
"almost."
Wang Jixuan pointed at the small sample of the blade beast's limb in the corner:
"Uncle Tai, look, this thing itself is just averagely hard, but after being blessed by the spiritual energy of the blade beast, doesn't it become extremely sharp?"
Uncle Tai suddenly understood: "You mean psychic weapons? The most advanced research now is on light blades, no one is researching psychic weapons anymore."
"Eh? Have you studied it?"
"We've been researching this for decades, but there's been no progress."
Uncle Tai smiled bitterly and said:
“The military launched more than a hundred projects of this kind, but all of them failed in the end. Not to mention the extraction of psychic energy from the crystal core, the release of psychic energy is accompanied by a large number of unstable factors.
"The most reliable method before was to use lasers to irradiate the crystal cores to generate dissipated psychic energy, but the energy consumed in this way is not as good as using high-power laser cannons to burn the blade beasts.
"I only participated in a few projects, but in the end, alas, they all died."
Wang Jixuan thought about it carefully.
He was not thinking about any technical problems. ——He had the cultivation civilization of the cultivation world behind him, so technology was not a problem.
He is thinking in terms of degree.
He was afraid that if he took out too many things at once, it would cause too much attention and unnecessary turmoil, which would affect his own practice.
"Uncle Tai, do you have any alloy for making military daggers?"
"I'll find it for you."
Uncle Tai quickly put out his cigarette, put the remaining half on the table, turned around and ran back into the house.
Soon, Uncle Tai and Wang Jixuan squatted under the table, holding a few alloy boards and muttering to each other.
Wang Jixuan already had a rough outline of the magic weapon in his mind.
These alloys are all unusable. After the raw materials are made into alloys, their "spiritual energy permeability" is almost completely lost. However, the strength of these alloys really opened Wang Jixuan's eyes.
Unfortunately, the harder the material, the more suitable it is for making magic tools.
Wang Jixuan is going to forge two kinds of swords today.
One can be embedded with crystal cores, which can be used by oneself; the other can reuse the spiritual energy in the air, which can be given to the military.
In front of Uncle Tai, he naturally did the second option.
"Is there a stove?"
"Yes, we have small smelting furnaces and electrolytic furnaces. I'll move them over!"
"Get me another hammer and an anvil!"
"Hmm? Anvil? Are you going to learn to forge iron like the ancient blacksmiths hundreds of years ago?"
Uncle Tai said jokingly.
however……
Half an hour later...
The rhythmic sound of iron hammering.
Uncle Tai looked at Wang Jixuan, who took off his shirt to reveal his muscular body and started swinging the hammer, and his forehead was filled with black lines.
No, there must be something wrong with opening this screen!
He is Tai Tianle, a five-star citizen senior mechanic with 36 years of work experience, and the winner of the honor of 'Best Logistics Support Team Leader of the Year'. He does not sleep late at night and does not stare at the surveillance to see if his superiors need support. Instead, he assists a young man here... to forge iron?
Uncle Tai felt that one of the two people in this workshop must be crazy!
If this thing can be used to make a cold weapon that can break the shell of a blade beast, then Tai Tianle will eat up the iron lump that Xiao Wang brought from somewhere in one bite tonight!
