#269 - Spring Heart
Fortunately, Ling Tong's injuries weren't very serious.
When Wang Jixuan saw Ling Tong, she was lying on a stretcher, pale but breathing steadily, occasionally frowning and moaning softly.
Wu Man and the others who were taking care of Ling Tong seemed to be in worse condition.
Wang Jixuan fed Ling Tong a Soul Nourishing Pill and carefully checked her condition.
Her mechanical arm was severely damaged.
Wang Jixuan couldn't fix this; he was just an intermediate mechanic who hadn't passed his certification yet.
Ling Tong's mechanical spine was also somewhat twisted, probably due to a huge impact, her back hitting some heavy object, or the tyrannical force transmitted through the mecha.
Wang Jixuan sent out a wisp of mana, merged it into Ling Tong's body, protected her internal organs, and carefully refined and extracted some of the stagnant blood.
Ling Tong's complexion quickly returned to rosy.
The next thing to do was to hand it over to Wan-jie, who was rushing over, and the maintenance team led by Wan-jie.
Ling Tong's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she wanted to open her eyes.
Wang Jixuan pressed her shoulder and whispered, "Just rest, I'm here, the front line has stopped fighting."
"Mm…"
Ling Tong decisively fell asleep.
Daozhang looked up at the few people who were sent back together in front, and the brows that were just about to relax furrowed again.
Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo were wounded all over, but it could be seen that most of them were contusions, and their internal organs were protected by spiritual energy, so there was nothing serious.
Shenhai and the other two semi-mecha group students had injuries similar to Ling Tong's, either their mechanical arms were broken, or their necks were crooked, which was visually shocking.
Daozhang casually flicked out a few silver needles, remotely transferring magic power to them, and then took out a few pills and threw them to them to swallow.
In half a minute, everyone recovered.
Zheng Shiduo said with emotion, "It's still my Brother Wang! I almost thought I was going to be crippled!"
"Was the battle so fierce?"
"More than fierce," Shenhai complained with a wry smile, "Super-king level is not something humans can fight, I thought they were just bigger than ordinary king-level, but I didn't expect the spiritual energy in their bodies to be several times stronger than king-level! There are several king-level crystal cores inside! They can continue to move even after being bombarded by nuclear bombs!"
Wu Man said, "The mental impact of this super-king level blade beast is too strong, it can sweep a fan-shaped area with a radius of ten kilometers, and in the area closest to it, mechanical warriors will be directly dismantled into parts by the shock wave."
"Fortunately," Zheng Shiduo chuckled, "this big guy was killed by us… after paying the price of a terrifying mecha self-destructing, well, our loss is indeed too great, and the combat power of the D2 integrated war zone has been severely weakened."
Wang Jixuan nodded.
It's good that it's resolved.
Peony entered the transport plane with the maid corps, preparing wheelchairs and stretchers.
Wang Jixuan comforted everyone: "Rest well first, don't think about the front line when you return to the rear, even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
Peony explained: "Commander, the commander-in-chief has given an order, we need a batch of healing pills."
"Okay, I'll start refining pills immediately, you arrange for someone to take care of them."
"Yes!"
Wang Jixuan looked at Ling Tong on the stretcher, raised his hand and covered her forehead, and then smiled dumbly.
'This poor Daoist is also confused out of concern, why am I checking if she has a fever.'
Daozhang waved his hand and asked the maids to take everyone to the military hospital on the third floor of the fortress.
Shenhai asked: "Teacher Wang, do I need extra treatment here? If not, I'll ask my supply team to go to my wife's place, and I'll go over there to recuperate."
"Go," Wang Jixuan calculated the time, "Tell Red Snake not to relax, I'll bring the war puppets over after I'm done here, or let her come over directly, if she's almost ready, I'll give you two a big gift."
Shenhai blinked: "Is it a big gift to solve the problem of our couple's married life?"
"Huh?"
In Daozhang's clean eyes, there was a purity that Shenhai couldn't understand.
Brother Shenhai smiled embarrassedly: "Just kidding, just kidding, I forgot you're still a young baby."
Wang Jixuan pretended to kick someone, Shenhai and the others chuckled.
They had regained a little dignity in this area.
Wu Man, who was not yet an adult, said that he didn't understand what Shenhai was talking about at all…
Really.
… …
Even if he was becoming more and more familiar with refining pills, explosions were always unexpected.
Wang Jixuan prepared the pills and handed them to the black shell that had been waiting for a long time, and then strolled to the military hospital on the third floor.
Wan-jie and the others had already rushed over, and it was inconvenient for Ling Tong to meet him now, she should be doing maintenance on her mechanical arm and spine.
Daozhang glanced at it with his spiritual sense.
Well, it's really inconvenient for men to watch…
No wonder Ling Tong's maintenance team is mostly women.
He turned around and went to Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo's double room, both of whom were fine.
Daozhang gently pulled with his left hand, the orange-red flame totem on the back of his hand disappeared, and the flame bloomed in his palm.
Zheng Shiduo and Wu Man were shocked at the same time.
They felt a strong pressure.
Zheng Shiduo asked: "Why do I feel like this thing is different from before?"
"There are some encounters," Wang Jixuan smiled, "Xiao Huating's past life took action and helped us with this, now I'll do an experiment."
Wu Man didn't understand: "What experiment?"
"Calm down and feel it."
Daozhang pointed his finger lightly, and a dozen regular hexagons slowly flew out of the flame, piecing together a wall, flashing various colors.
These are all spiritual energy circuits.
"Carefully comprehend and see if you have anything to gain," Wang Jixuan explained, "I won't teach you the knack of comprehending spiritual energy circuits for the time being, you can figure it out yourself first."
"Mm," Wu Man nodded quite seriously, staring at these regular hexagons.
Old Zheng was not interested.
Daozhang wondered: "Team Zheng, why aren't you active at all?"
"Hey," Zheng Shiduo smiled shyly, "I know what you mean, Brother Wang, you look down on this core circuit and want to cultivate a trustworthy person to become a new spiritual cultivator… I'm not that material, if you really want me to become a spiritual cultivator, the other five spiritual cultivators will have to join forces to kill me, and maybe even accuse me of ruining the reputation of spiritual cultivators… This child Xiao Wu is good, you can focus on cultivating him."
Wang Jixuan was amused by Old Zheng.
Wu Man shook his head with a smile beside him.
Wang Jixuan scolded with a smile: "Can't you change your temperament?"
"This is the joy of life, changing it is boring."
"It's not about choosing the successor of the core circuit," Wang Jixuan explained simply, "It's a bit of a waste to use the core circuit like this, if it goes well, we can cultivate a large number of secondary spiritual cultivators."
"Secondary? Spiritual cultivator?"
"A large number?"
Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo were stunned.
Wang Jixuan didn't keep them in suspense and introduced:
"The first step is to transform all the spiritual energy users we trust into spiritual energy users belonging to this core circuit."
"The second step is for me to open up the six hundred and twenty spiritual energy circuits owned by this core circuit, not to inject them, but to let you learn and comprehend."
"In Xing Tian's memory, I found the spiritual energy learning skills he had studied for more than sixty years."
"That's actually a kind of spiritual energy circuit imprint."
"I slightly modified it with my method, changing the spiritual energy circuit imprint into a spiritual energy circuit simulation."
"You see."
Daozhang pushed and pulled with his left hand, and a shallow flame wrapped his palm.
Wang Jixuan smiled and said: "This is useless to me, the effect is far less than my spells, but for you, you can master more abilities, such as Ji Xiao's ability."
Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo's eyes lit up at the same time.
Zheng Shiduo asked: "Can this thing be promoted in the war zone?"
"Uh," Wang Jixuan really didn't think about this, "It's possible, but the key technology must be controlled by our own people, this thing can't be known to outsiders, we'll study it later."
Zheng Shiduo said with emotion: "How many people did I save in my previous life to become my Brother Wang's own people."
"Don't praise me, you're going to praise me to the sky! You guys study hard here, remember this feeling, I'll see how far you can go without guidance."
Wang Jixuan gently pulled, and these dozens of hexagons left complete imprints, constantly flashing light in front of Zheng Shiduo and Wu Man.
'I still have to chat with Old Fu.'
'Old Zheng reminded this poor Daoist, if it goes well, this little electric temple will have to start school for a while.'
Several figures flashed through Wang Jixuan's mind.
This matter can be brought into the game with Shen Qionglin, and Shen Qionglin may have some new inspiration… I also have to do ideological work on No. 5 and let No. 5 provide some help as much as possible.
The latest and most complete novels are on 69shu bar!
Wang Jixuan knew himself well.
He is just a cultivator, not a spiritual energy expert;
This time he was able to successfully complete the spiritual energy simulation only by standing on Xing Tian's shoulders, enjoying the fruits of his labor, plus a little bit of cultivation world routine.
'Be humble.'
Daozhang didn't know when Ling Tong would recover her health.
He condensed the pill;
It's time to use the most important part of the red dust to refine his heart and test himself!
… …
While Ling Tong was recuperating, Wang Jixuan was busy before and after, dealing with his duties non-stop.
He first did a post-war inventory.
The war puppet's alien soul needs to be re-cultivated, because there is a constant stream of blade beast crystal cores being sent over, and it will take half a month for the alien soul to recover to its previous peak, and its strength is expected to increase slightly.
Daozhang's main body has gained a lot of benefits.
Just like the last time they purified some of the remnant souls of the beast language user, this time the purification of the demonic energy of the snow mountain also increased Wang Jixuan's Yuan Soul power.
It's a pity that this improvement quickly reached its limit due to the restriction of his cultivation realm.
When the power of his Yuan Soul is equivalent to the Perfection stage of the Core Formation realm, there will be no more significant increase.
Next, he needs to fuse the Yuan Soul, Dao Body, and Qi Sea together to form a Golden Core, allowing the Yuan Soul to be contained within the Golden Core, and then gradually transform into a Nascent Soul and a Yuan Spirit.
The Daoist himself is also satisfied.
Currently, his main body's combat power is somewhat 'deformed'—he can unleash powerful spells, but his mana is too low, and he will fall into a state of mana depletion after using two or three spells.
In short: strong burst, poor endurance.
Now that he has a battle puppet to rely on, he doesn't need to worry about this problem and can steadily advance into the Golden Core realm.
Wang Jixuan also participated in the small-scale online meeting held by Fu Jian.
At the meeting, Wang Jixuan saw some intelligence that Mudan had already shown him in advance.
Including but not limited to the losses of the D2 Comprehensive War Zone in this battle, the movements of the Blade Beast swarm, the changes in the City of Spiritual Energy, and so on.
The greater threat still comes from the Blade Beasts.
The peripheral Blade Beast swarms are retreating, and the main Blade Beast swarms show signs of large-scale awakening, with the awakening degree of the sixth and ninth Pillar-level Blade Beasts increasing by about one percent every day.
Fortunately, the awakening degree of the other Pillar Blade Beasts has remained at a relatively low level, with no significant increase.
During their meeting and research, Wang Jixuan also gave appropriate reminders.
"The crux of the matter lies with that Jialuo."
"According to the confession of Spiritual Cultivator No. 5, the awakening of the Super-King-level Blade Beast and the rapid increase in the awakening degree of the Pillar Blade Beasts are all due to that Jialuo."
"Perhaps we can think of a way to capture Jialuo's new body and seal it using the methods of Spiritual Cultivators."
"That Jialuo must also be paying a price, otherwise, it would have used this method long ago."
The senior generals of D2 and D5 who attended the meeting were confused by this and just nodded repeatedly.
After this meeting, D5 transported a large number of mechanical bodies to D2, and gave D2 twenty Crane Yuan Pills.
D2 conducted a major purge internally, the reason being the same as before—
Brain-Eating Worms.
After the meeting, Fu Jian personally arrived at Fortress 76 and chatted with Wang Jixuan for several hours.
There was a bit more light in Fu Jian's eyes.
He seemed to see the dawn before the darkness receded.
Fu Jian took the initiative to inquire about the core circuit of the Spiritual Cultivator, and Wang Jixuan demonstrated it to him, explaining his plan in detail.
Fu Jian expressed his approval for this, but also mentioned his concerns:
"Time, we must not ignore this factor."
"The Blade Beasts will not sit still and wait for death. The Six Elders are now on the verge of going berserk. I have already considered whether to directly blow up the Six Elders and then withstand the full impact of the City of Spiritual Energy."
"Your meeting with the SS-level Spiritual Energy user from the Natural Faction later is actually of great political significance. Try to reach a united front with them and let them fully support us."
Wang Jixuan asked: "Do you want to create chaos within the City of Spiritual Energy?"
"Many people in the Natural Faction are my friends, but to some extent, this friendship is not important."
Fu Jian said in a deep voice:
"If, without us taking action, we can use 30% of the power of the City of Spiritual Energy to overthrow 70% of the power of the City of Spiritual Energy,"
"It would be best to consume more than 50% of the overall power of the City of Spiritual Energy."
"Then we can more easily cope with the Blade Beasts' attack."
The Daoist was silent.
He did not agree with Fu Jian's point of view.
Since the Natural Faction are friends, then they should protect their friends;
But Wang Jixuan also knew that Fu Jian was considering the problem from the standpoint of humanity, and the Commander-in-Chief did not care about being scolded or anything.
As long as he could win, Fu Jian could be covered in blood and withstand all kinds of criticisms.
"Then I will try to contact them."
"Okay, a total of more than 2,000 trustworthy front-line Spiritual Energy users from D5, D7, D8, and D9 will now be assigned to your command."
Fu Jian said simply:
"Use the core circuit you have mastered to help them complete the transformation as soon as possible."
"If you can improve their strength to a certain extent, that would be even better."
"The fourth Spiritual Cultivator's spire can probably be excavated in half a month, and I will have them sent to you as soon as possible."
Wang Jixuan smiled happily.
Professor Shen's work, here it comes again.
After Fu Jian left, Wang Jixuan continued to work hard.
Refining pills and forging weapons were commonplace, the recovery and augmentation of different souls also required round-the-clock efforts, the reinforcement of the Mountain Guardian Formation was urgent, the comprehension of the core circuit could not be dropped, and he had to personally deliver loving meals to Lingtong every day.
The Red Serpent had also begun to 'migrate' towards Fortress 76.
The Daoist worked hard for a few days, and finally properly handled the matters at hand. The SS-level Spiritual Energy user from the Natural Faction would not be able to come for a few days.
Lingtong had fully recovered and gave himself a week's vacation.
Daoist Wang was in trouble.
He urgently needed a test of the mortal world, but he really didn't have much experience in this matter.
