Chapter 57
Revenge, Magical Weapons, Incense and Vow Power Refining Method
"drop!"
A notification sound from the smart home system appeared.
Soon the door to the private martial arts room was pushed open.
Su Nianyi and Su Nianying, who have been inseparable lately, walked in together.
"hope-jun, what do you, a student, need a laser sniper rifle for?"
Before the person even approached, Ms. Su's urgent words could already be heard.
Unlike electromagnetic pistols, this laser weapon is not only capable of dealing with mythical creatures, but it is also not difficult to kill martial artists at the Transcendent Realm or the Intent Realm.
Even though she was always by her side, Li Xijun's sudden message to her was truly hard for Su Nianying to understand.
"This... ..."
Li Xijun dared to release this message because he was well-prepared.
"It's because after my mental powers were awakened, I had a bad feeling, so I thought about having weapons around for self-defense."
As he said this, he released his mental energy to scan the two people in front of him.
In that instant,
Whether it's Su Nianying, who is filming on location, or Su Nianyi, who has also awakened her spiritual powers,
They were both very keenly aware of the spiritual energy released by the other.
"You! You've awakened!" Su Nianying exclaimed in surprise as she sensed this spiritual power.
"Indeed, mental energy can now be projected outwards."
As a gifted individual with psychic abilities, Su Nianyi gave her affirmation.
"Once your Qi and Blood level reaches 9.0, I'll contact the admissions office of Qingquan Chunhui Hall in the capital."
"Once the admissions office staff come to determine your blood and qi levels and mental strength, you can directly receive your admission notice."
Having already gone through the process once before, she spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Li Xijun was momentarily dazed.
"The Two Capitals" are the two top martial arts universities in the entire Federation.
These are the two martial arts universities that every student in the entire Great Xia region has dreamed of since elementary school.
It seems like I'll be able to get into a university through a special admission program soon.
Li Xijun glanced at her [Qi and Blood Level 8.2] data and decided to go to Li Boyan's residence as soon as possible to see the Ninth Princess more often so that she could increase the speed of her Qi and Blood Level improvement.
Of course,
My cultivation at the Silent Meditation Realm is already sufficient to withstand the mental scans and attacks of other Silent Meditation Realm cultivators of the same level.
For now, I'll get a laser sniper rifle and get revenge first.
Thinking this, Li Xijun's heart stirred, and she suddenly wanted to give it a try.
How would the two women before me, especially Su Nianyi, a person with a talent for mental power in the main world, deal with a mental scan?
He can then use this as a reference to deal with the Taoist priests of the Wusheng Taoist Temple.
As someone exerted their spiritual power once more, the intensity of their mental scan of the twin sisters increased, and detailed data about them appeared in their mind.
This made both sisters feel ashamed that they had been seen naked by the other.
"Don't use your mental energy to scan external martial artists next time." Su Nianying glared at the boy in front of her, annoyed.
Having already broken through the barrier with her mental power, and with her inner and outer worlds in harmony, she dispelled the mental scan on her body with a single thought.
"The same applies to dealing with those gifted in mental telekinesis," Su Nianyi said calmly.
While releasing his mental energy to completely dispel Li Xijun's mental scan,
She casually released her mental energy into herself and her sister, unfolding a circular mental energy shield that resembled a honeycomb hexagonal structure, thus blocking the other party's mental energy.
Li Xijun nodded slightly upon seeing this invisible mental energy shield and promptly learned it from it.
"So, it's possible for martial artists at the Transcendent Realm and the Intent Realm to achieve this?" he asked curiously.
"Transcendent Realm is fine, but Intent Realm martial artists can detect it and, by releasing an external killing move, annihilate the scanning and psychic attacks of those with spiritual power within a certain area."
"However, for martial artists at the Intent Realm, unleashing an External Realm killing move is extremely taxing on their spiritual power, physical strength, and most importantly, their mental power. An External Realm killing move is not just a name; it is a real killing move meant to be used in crucial moments."
"Therefore, even if a martial artist at the realm of intent senses it, they are often helpless against the mental scan of someone with a talent for mental power."
Su Nianying, this female teacher, was very good at imparting knowledge to others.
"As for mythical creatures, only a very few extremely powerful races below the commander level can detect them. Ninety-nine percent of those below the commander level do not have this ability."
"When you get to university and have the opportunity to go on adventures in the mythical world, people like you with spiritual powers will be extremely popular and will get the most loot."
"Alright, let's leave the matter of psychic powers here for now. Since you feel it's necessary, I'll order a laser sniper rifle. If anything goes wrong, just give me my name and purchase ID."
As she spoke, Su Nianying took out her phone and entered the in-game store accessible to martial artists with outdoor viewing privileges, saying:
"You can't neglect your cultivation of Qi and Blood either. Advance to Qi and Blood level 9.0 as soon as possible and get the recommendation to Qingquan Chunhui Palace."
"Okay, Ms. Su, I'll send you the one you've chosen, and I've also transferred the 120 million."
Having anticipated this, Li Xijun immediately sent a picture of the laser sniper rifle she had her eye on.
...........................
Several days later
The moon, now past mid-month, is no longer full, retaining the shape of a mooncake that has been bitten in.
The cold, clear moonlight shone on the surface of the river east of Tianjin.
The shimmering waves also evoke the beauty of the moon shining on the river in its first year.
Suddenly,
A figure emerged from the water's surface, completely clad in a lightweight black nano-armor.
"The nanosuit and electromagnetic pistol are both there, and the other side hasn't been so insane as to lie in wait here for half a month."
Li Xijun released his mental energy to scan the surrounding area.
He breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that no one was lying in ambush nearby.
He floated on the surface of the water, but was in no hurry to act.
Instead, dozens of mimicry bird drones were released from a box they had brought with them.
The flock of birds began to scatter the moment it appeared.
The entire eastern water network is under surveillance.
The person wearing light black armor turned and swam to the shore.
At the top of a clock tower, about a kilometer east of the river.
He climbed down and pulled out a laser sniper rifle with a futuristic, sci-fi design.
They started making continuous adjustments.
Fortunately, this high-tech weapon, used to deal with mythical creatures and even martial artists at the Intent Realm,
It has highly intelligent aiming assistance functions.
Having received the document earlier and contacted him beforehand, he quickly completed the debugging.
........................
the other side
As the bright moon shifted in the sky
From the drone's field of vision,
The figure of a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe was presented.
As usual, he set up his stall and fished for a while before...
They slowly returned to the wooden boat they had brought and rowed into the river.
The Taoist priest, with his extensive experience in murder and robbery, continued to release his spiritual energy to scan the surrounding area, allowing him to see clearly within a radius of several thousand meters.
From the river to the small island behind them where several people had left, and then to the nearby woods on the bank...
Finally, he even carefully scanned the scene again until it was all clear in his mind.
Unfortunately,
However, no one appeared within the range covered by the mental scan.
"Sigh... People are getting smarter and smarter these days."
Even those incredibly greedy Western dogs have become much more obedient.
"Even though I, Daoist Master, have been showing off my wealth and my magic weapon, the Shadowless Sword, for quite some time, not a single person has shown any interest in it."
The middle-aged Taoist priest sighed and couldn't help but recall the big fish that had escaped from his grasp some time ago.
According to his estimate, there were at least several thousand taels of silver worth of dragon flesh and blood inside.
If we had caught that guy back then, we wouldn't have to worry about cultivation for the next six months.
If you're lucky, you might even be able to take the final step, achieve perfect meditation, and break through to the embryonic breathing realm.
By the time,
That's truly only one realm away from becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator who dominates a region!
The middle-aged Taoist priest, increasingly regretful, muttered bitterly to himself:
"Just wait, unless this guy escapes out of Tianjin,"
"Otherwise, if he falls into my hands, I'll skin him alive."
"His very soul was extracted, and he suffered day and night under my..."
In the night sky,
A silent laser beam flashed by.
Like the flowing river reflecting the bright moonlight,
I don't know when,
The middle-aged Taoist priest, whose entire head had vaporized and dissipated, could no longer speak.
The soul in the state of meditation, having lost its physical body, is exposed to the outside world.
He barely managed to hold on for a few breaths.
He unleashed all his spiritual power with venomous resentment.
A massive shockwave, like a cannonball exploding, instantly erupted from him, spreading outwards.
The once calm river water was lifted up by a force of several tons.
A group of fish at the bottom of the river were instantly crushed into bloody foam by this terrifying force.
The Taoist's spirit, still finding nothing unusual and seeing no one who had made a move, grew increasingly frantic!
Driven relentlessly, streams of mental energy frantically advanced the scan.
above the sky,
The Shadowless Sword, a magic weapon of immense power capable of killing a Grandmaster of Marrow Cleansing and severing magical artifacts and extraordinary items, is a true treasure.
It emitted bursts of sword cries and dragon roars, like mournful howls.
Once someone is detected by that emanating spiritual energy, they will be instantly killed by a single sword strike, with no chance of survival.
But as his soul was urged on as if it were burning,
You can search using mental scanning in any way.
The river, still shimmering under the bright moonlight,
He couldn't find a trace of the murderer no matter how hard he tried.
The middle-aged Taoist priest, whose spirit could no longer hold on, couldn't help but ask a question in a fit of rage and confusion before he died:
"Who is it?"
"What kind of magical power could silently and effortlessly obliterate me from thousands of meters away?"
Li Xijun, who had put away his laser sniper rifle atop the clock tower, stood high above.
He focused intently on maintaining the honeycomb-shaped mental barrier he had learned from Su Nianyi.
Until a few breaths later,
A river breeze blew, and his soul dissipated; the flying sword fell into the river...
Everything seemed to vanish.
When night falls again and the water flows silently,
A bird swooped down from the night sky, using its bionic claws to tear open the corpse's clothes, as it reached for something.
"Bang!"
next moment,
An invisible, colorless, and soundless sword light suddenly appeared out of nowhere at the bottom of the river, shattering it and turning it into a ball of fire.
"hatred!"
"I hate it so much!"
As the flames faded, a final murmur lingered.
This most precious magical flying sword fell into the water after flying through the air.
It was picked up by a mimic bird and delivered to the person at the top of the clock tower.
"My thought... suddenly became clear!"
Looking at the magic weapon, the Shadowless Sword, in his hand,
Li Xijun instantly felt that the matter of being forced to jump into the river to escape by the other party could be wiped clean.
After reaching out and taking another thin manual from the other's corpse by the bionic bird,
Li Xijun continues to place all technological products in this world as usual.
He returned to the main world with the spoils he had obtained from the enemy.
Thus,
Even if the opponent leaves some special fragrance or some kind of mark that can be detected by the divine soul on the magic weapon Shadowless Sword or this secret manual, it will have no effect whatsoever.
Anyway, he had no intention of taking these things back to the Great Sheng World to use.
If you have any questions, go and talk to the Three Thousand Worlds and the Endless Void yourself.
..........................
Main world
Stepping out of the bathroom, Li Xijun lit a stick of incense as usual, rubbed his hands together, and eagerly began to take stock of his spoils.
Of course,
Because the Taoist priest had plenty of money and valuables on him, he didn't let the mimic bird take any.
So there are actually only two items in total this time.
The Shadowless Sword is a magical artifact that can greatly increase the combat power of cultivators in the Meditation Realm.
And a thin book titled "The Method of Incense Offering and Vow Refining" on it.
He had tested it while wearing a nano-protective suit when he received it.
Now that I'm in bed, I don't have to worry about anything and can concentrate on reading the annotations in this book.
The contents of this book are not at all obscure or difficult to understand.
In fact, this is exactly as the book title suggests.
This book teaches cultivators at the stages of meditation and embryonic breathing to refine and upgrade their magical artifacts using incense, faith, and the power of sentient beings' wishes.
In the Great Sheng, a world where even extraordinary external objects are distorted and filthy...
The extraordinary items in the Western Continent are mostly called "Sealed Items." Although they do possess great power, some even have various incredible and peculiar abilities.
However, using these "sealed items" often comes at a price.
Some might only expend some physical or mental energy.
However, some unlucky individuals may experience madness due to contamination caused by using [sealed items], leading to the cultivation of the magic potion sequence.
Meanwhile, the ancient sages of the Eastern Continent, after also creating things like 'demon blades' and 'ominous swords',
It's similar to the martial arts and spirit cultivation systems.
They devised a system that, aside from the normal method of refining and nurturing magical artifacts with divine soul power,
The method of refining Dharma treasures by using incense offerings, faith, and the wishes of all beings.
Looking at the dense annotations and insights on it, Li Xijun couldn't help but shake his head:
"This Taoist priest is indeed very skilled in crafting magical artifacts and refining magical treasures."
"However, the cultivators produced by this Wusheng Dao Temple..."
"They all operate like cult members, treating murder and robbery as if it were perfectly acceptable."
"Instead, he abandoned the legitimate path of making money by crafting magical artifacts and spent all his time thinking about doing this kind of thing."
"Now that he has died at my hands, it is only right that he should die."
After carefully reading these contents, Li Xijun
They began the initial refinement of the Shadowless Sword, a magical artifact that was now ownerless.
"The spiritual power required for magical artifacts is extremely high."
"It will probably take me quite a while to refine this, as a cultivator who has just entered the Silent Meditation Realm."
After initial trials, Li Xijun concluded that it would take approximately twenty days.
"Fortunately, I have plenty of calming incense. Oh, right..."
He pulled a jade bottle out from under the bed.
"There is also a remnant soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator who has suffered considerable damage that can be fed to this magic weapon."
