Chapter 62 The Taoist Priest’s Decision
What did you hear?
Lingtong has taken off her blade armor, changed out of her combat uniform, and returned to her favorite tight jeans and short-sleeved outfit, with her ponytail still smelling of shampoo.
Lingtong accurately described it: "Some brief sleep talking."
"It's just sleep 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."
Lingtong said softly:
"Talking in sleep has no effect. I will not write an observation report on you."
"That's good……"
Taoist Wang hesitated to speak and took a closer look at his own situation.
No big problem, just a bunch of small problems. After a while, meditating will make the Dantian cyclone full again. On the contrary, my spiritual awareness has improved a bit, and I am only a small step away from the God-gathering state.
Magic power consumes potential and occasionally slightly improves one's own cultivation level. This time he used the soul control method. Although it left a little worry, the power of his soul also increased somewhat.
As for the crystal core he got...
There was a small alloy box under the pillow, and the spiritual power fluctuations of the demon-suppressing talisman came from inside.
It was obviously Lingtong who helped him organize it.
Lingtong closed the novel, stood up and said, "Have a good rest. Don't worry about other things. I have already taken care of them for you."
"No problem," Wang Jixuan agreed immediately, but then hesitated.
Lingtong curled his lips slightly and muttered quietly before leaving...
"Junior sister doesn't want it."
"Sister, teach me."
Wang Jixuan raised his hands to cover his eyes, unable to bear to look directly at him.
He said that using magic power has serious side effects!
However, there is nothing you can do to save your life. Living is the first prerequisite.
He picked up the text switch on the other side of the pillow. There was a brief exchange between Lingtong and Zhou Zhengde on it. Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly, which saved him from arranging this.
Will the Thirteenth Institute discover the crystal nucleus?
This should happen sooner or later.
So what's the next step? Does he really want to rely on the military and hang out with Ling Tong from now on? Actually it’s not impossible…
Taoist Wang kept thinking.
His mind has opened up a little. Although it is not very good at transferring skills and the techniques cannot be exposed, it is not bad if he develops some crystal nuclear weapons.
‘Yes, the weapon. ’
Weapons are different from magic weapons and most of them are magic weapons. For example, Wang Jixuan Sect's treasure of the sect [the second best sword in the practice world] does not require spiritual power and is extremely sharp. A Yuanying realm monk can hold it in In his hand, he can easily summon a hundred-foot sword light, and he can also absorb spiritual energy to restore his own spiritual power.
‘The daggers used by human soldiers now cannot break the outer bones of edged beasts. How can this be possible? ’
‘It’s time to use a dagger as a last resort, and it’s difficult for ordinary firearms to break through defenses, so we can only rely on heavy firepower. ’
'Pindao can't teach the skills without authorization, but he can make some weapons inlaid with crystal cores. Only in this way can he repay Xiao Zhou's kindness for covering up Pindao. ’
Wang Jixuan's thoughts became more and more active.
The secret of his practice must not be made public, at least not until he has the ability to protect himself, but he can come up with some brand-new technology.
Xiuxian civilization technology!
As for the future path, there are actually only three options in total.
First, attach to the Thirteen Institutes.
This must not be an option. Thirteen all have a big problem. There is a blade beast demon soul in the crystal core. The military must also be alerted to this matter.
The second, and also his last resort, is to leave the sphere of human influence and go to the wilderness to survive.
The probability of not surviving is quite high.
Third, limited cooperation with the military, especially with Zhou Zhengde’s grandfather, the devil commander in chief, the first generation driver of the terror mecha, and the last hero of the fortress era.
This kind of person, Taoist Wang really wants to make friends with him.
Especially... he and Zhou Zhengde's grandfather are barely the same age, so they might have something in common.
'If you continue to break up, you will inevitably suffer from chaos, so it is settled like this. Later, I will help the human military improve the dagger. ’
‘At least it can break through the shell of the basic blade beast! Humanity is fighting this battle too hard. ’
Wang Jixuan picked up the text switch and sent a message to Zhou Zhengde.
【02: No need to reply if you see it. Get me all the ores you can as soon as possible, just a few samples. You don't want alloys, you want freshly unearthed ores, and secretly give me some of the blade beast's outer bones and flesh. I'll do some research. If everything goes well, I'll give you a small gift. 】
Daochang Wang looked at a cupboard to the side, where there were two black polygonal exoskeletons.
This was the 'massage fee' Lingtong had given him before.
Let’s get a formation plate first!
…
More than two hours later.
Wang Jixuan's dantian aura has returned to fullness.
‘It’s good if your cultivation level is low. Even if your spiritual energy is thin, you can quickly fill yourself up. ’
Daochang Wang forced out a smile, bitter but a little strong.
He took a piece of exoskeleton the size of a sea bowl in his hand. The spirit-releasing formation in the spirit-gathering array was engraved inside it. He then wrapped three carefully selected crystal cores with Qi and carefully placed them in the small spirit-gathering array. .
The formation is not activated.
Daochang Wang took out a button battery and stuck it on the back of the array plate.
Several rotating small disks appeared on the array disk, and the array patterns were connected into one piece. A wisp of Qi stored in the corner floated over, and the array patterns flashed brightly at the same time.
Pure spiritual energy rippled out.
Wang Jixuan immediately sucked away the spiritual energy and detached the button battery.
Done!
There is no need to worry that the array disk cannot be used without batteries, the disks can be pressed and rotated directly.
Is this design purely unnecessary?
Indeed.
But this was Wang Jixuan's proactive attempt. He was thinking about how to integrate immortal cultivation tools with modern machinery. The symbolic significance of taking this step was very important.
Now is not the time to break through in cultivation.
This breakthrough requires concentrating spiritual consciousness and trying not to be disturbed. The whole process is expected to take three hours, which is more appropriate in the middle of the night.
Now with Ling Tong and Xiao Zhou by his side, Wang Jixuan thought he was relatively safe.
Hiding the array 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 various data of the robotic arm. Wan Xiaoqi was holding a notebook nearby and kept recording something. She was studying seriously.
Uncle Tai rushed into the men's room, holding his belly, and shouted: "Xiao Wang! Are you okay? We need to talk about the damage to the alloy box! You use it as a shield, right?"
Wang Jixuan smiled apologetically.
Lingtong opened her eyes and looked at Wang Jixuan. With one of her right robotic arms removed, she had a different kind of beauty at this moment.
She whispered: "Have you recovered? We need to talk."
"Okay, do you want a massage?"
"want."
"Hold on."
Wang Daochang went back to the room and put on a pair of clean thin gloves. Before going out, he raised his arm and smelled it to make sure that there was no smell of blade beast blood on him.
He also wanted to communicate with Lingtong about the follow-up matters of 'forging swords' for the military.
Not long after, Wang Jixuan gently pressed Lingtong's head with his fingers, and he let out a light sigh in his heart.
The gloomy energy in Lingtong's head was actually a bit stronger...
what happened?
As long as she fights the blade beast, this gloomy energy will grow?
Wang Jixuan kept moving, and scenes of confrontations with bladed beasts emerged in his mind.
Those basic blade beasts will also roar, have a weak mental shock effect, and...
A possibility suddenly occurred to him.
"Is your headache getting worse?"
"Well," Lingtong asked softly, "how do you know?"
Sister Wan and Wan Xiaoqi looked up, and Wang Jixuan said slowly: "The mark left by the mental shock has become heavier."
"oh."
Lingtong agreed softly and closed his eyes to rest.
Her delicate facial features are still so charming even when viewed from this 'death angle', especially the skin she doesn't know how to maintain, which is white, delicate and can be broken by blows.
Wang Jixuan reminded: "If there is a similar incident again later, remember to wear a patch to prevent mental shock."
"That one is only useful for psychics," Sister Wan said helplessly, "Is there a way to resolve it?"
"It will take at least two months, with massage once a day," Wang Jixuan said seriously, "My strength is too low."
Lingtong said: "Then set a time limit of three months and don't put any pressure on yourself."
"The premise is that it will not continue to worsen," Wang Jixuan whispered, "Why do I feel that this blade beast came very strangely, as if it was specially made to strengthen your injuries?"
Lingtong pursed his lips and said nothing.
Sister Wan's eyes were full of worries.
Wan Xiaoqi seemed to have remembered something: "There is something very strange here. There is no tracer on these blade beasts. They don't know where they came from!"
Sister Wan said worriedly: "There should be a nest that we haven't discovered, or it may come from the other side of the front line... On the other side of the front line, the blade beasts are breeding crazily, and their groups are too numerous!"
Wang Jixuan took advantage of the situation and said: "I think these blade beasts are targeting Lingtong."
"Aimed at me?"
"Well, they are organized...I saw a vertical pupil."
Vertical pupils?
Lingtong suddenly opened his eyes: "We will discuss this matter in detail later, don't say more now."
Sister Wan understood immediately - this kind of information should be highly confidential.
She quickly changed the topic: "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--
The sound of brakes sounded in the distance outside the door.
Qi, many mottled air masses, more than a dozen psykers.
Taoist Wang was also a little annoyed.
These psykers!
There was no sign of them when we fought the Blade Beast, and now they are out to cause trouble?
Master Tao can bear it, but Nai Tao can’t!
However, Wang Jixuan also suspected that the other party came to the door because he was missing eight crystal cores.
Lingtong opened her eyes and was about to sit up, but as soon as she made a move, she felt two strong hands pressing the edge of her neck and pushing her back to the seat.
In line with the principle that one person should do the work and the other should be responsible, Wang Daochang said in a cold tone:
"You have a rest."
Wang Jixuan turned around the operating table with a dark face, his aura quickly converged in his dantian, and the cyclone in his dantian began to rotate at the slowest speed, while simultaneously operating the Guifan Art and the Turtle Breath Art.
"Xiao Qi, give me a box of high-explosive grenades!"
"Yes! No... Who will you, a newbie, command?"
Half a minute later.
Wang Jixuan quickly put on an armed vest, filled his pockets with high-explosive grenades, grabbed an automatic rifle with a grenade launcher, and rushed out of the supply station together with Uncle Tai, who picked up the weapon as soon as he put on his pants.
Wan Xiaoqi sat firmly behind the console and quickly mobilized the weapons in various corners of the supply station, aiming his guns at the group of psykers in front of the door.
Lingtong watched quietly, with a calm smile on his lips.
"It's rare to see you smile," Miss Wan whispered.
"Because you can catch fish and rest."
Lingtong responded softly, shaking the fingers of his left robotic arm slightly, and several large alloy boxes in the corner of the workshop were activated at the same time.
Lingtong said casually: "Sister Wan, the vertical pupils are confidential information, just pretend you didn't hear it."
"Okay," Sister Wan agreed, "Looking at it from this point of view, Xiao Wang is no small matter."
Lingtong also said: "Well, he's not just good-looking..."
There was a gunshot outside the door.
Snapped!
The sound of rifle fire.
Then Wang Jixuan's voice sounded: "Everyone, stop! Shoot immediately if you get within three meters!"
Miss Wan praised in a low voice: "Shoot first and then warn. He has initially integrated into our team."
"Is there any surveillance footage?" Lingtong asked.
"Boss! This way!"
Wan Xiaoqi ran over.
