#283 - Red Snake Sister
Red Serpent and Deep Sea were gone to the desert for seven or eight hours.
As soon as the couple returned, Wang Jixuan called them over.
Red Serpent had already changed into her old clothes, dressed lively and cutely, and hopped to Daoist Wang with a smile.
“Thanks, Teacher Wang! From now on, we’ll work for you!”
Wang Jixuan sized her up, then glanced at Deep Sea, and said with a smile, “Brother Deep Sea, go and rest. I’ll check her Transformation Dao Body.”
“Okay,” Deep Sea gave Wang Jixuan a deep look.
His eyes seemed to say a lot, yet seemed to say nothing at all.
If Wang Jixuan didn't misunderstand, Deep Sea's meaning should be that he wanted Wang Jixuan to find a way to strengthen him as well. He was a little… unable to keep up.
Wang Jixuan thumped his chest with his right fist, indicating that he would take care of everything.
Deep Sea responded with the same gesture, calmly walked to the sofa in the corner, then his legs gave way, and he slumped pale-faced onto the sofa, supporting his old waist and gently exhaling, his eyes with a hint of happy gray-black.
“Yo,” Uncle Tai strolled over with his hands behind his back, “Young people these days, how come they're already failing at such a young age.”
Deep Sea raised his hand to cover his eyes, seizing the time to recover his strength.
Fortunately, it was currently the calm before the storm, and he had no combat missions, otherwise… everything would be delayed.
Several gazes fell on the central area of the studio.
Red Serpent sat cross-legged facing away from Wang Jixuan, Daoist Wang's sword fingers swayed back and forth, and then gently tapped Red Serpent's neck.
Soon, all the conditions inside Red Serpent's body were thoroughly explored by Wang Jixuan.
It was indeed very strange;
Shaped like a demon, yet not a demon.
Wang Jixuan had previously thought that if Red Serpent's King-level Crystal Core was regarded as the Demon Race's Demon Core, then Red Serpent was no different from ordinary Great Demons.
But now, Wang Jixuan really couldn't be sure.
Red Serpent's form change was indeed the result of the Transformation Enlightenment Grand Array, but after she turned into a human form, she was more like… an evolution.
An evolution of the Blade Beast body.
Ordinary Great Demons are three points weaker in human form than in their original form, especially in melee combat power.
Red Serpent was just the opposite, her human form was three points stronger than her original form, and her melee combat power even doubled.
Wang Jixuan tried to explain it from a biological point of view, analyzing Red Serpent's muscle fiber structure, the arrangement and miniaturization of the Blade Beast organs in her body, etc., and quickly discovered that his biological knowledge reserves were not enough to explain Red Serpent's phenomenon.
In short;
Confused, but the effect was significant.
“Teacher Wang,” Red Serpent asked happily, “Do I have any problems? I feel like you're frowning.”
“No big problem.”
Wang Jixuan murmured:
“I'm thinking about how to teach you some skills so that you can better exert this spiritual energy.”
“Teach me skills?”
Red Serpent moved and turned around, looking at Wang Jixuan with burning eyes:
“Is it like the kind that Teacher Wang used before, that can directly drill into the ground?”
“It's not impossible,” Wang Jixuan said with a smile, “I'll first teach you a simple incantation. This must be kept secret and not passed on.”
“Okay!” Red Serpent nodded decisively, “Anyway, I'm following you now!”
Wang Jixuan transmitted the sound into her mind, directly using the little magic technique used when teaching disciples, so that his voice was engraved in Red Serpent's soul.
Red Serpent thought carefully, slowly chanted the incantation, and followed Wang Jixuan's appearance, pointing her sword fingers forward.
A cyan-black ray of light bloomed around her, and a shallow light covered her body.
“Eh? What is this? I feel like my whole body is full of strength!”
“Great Strength Incantation,” Wang Jixuan added in his heart ‘Demon Race Only’.
The Daoist continued to experiment, teaching Red Serpent the Daoist 《Light Feather Incantation》 and the Buddhist 《Vajra Subduing Demon Sutra》 respectively. Red Serpent read them carefully, but the effect was unremarkable.
Obviously, she was only suitable for Demon Race skills.
The root of Red Serpent's ability to cast spells lies in the Transformation Technique that she had been painstakingly cultivating, which Wang Jixuan had helped her improve. Now the Transformation Technique was still running, and it could also help her absorb the essence of the sun and moon.
There was a huge source of demonic power in Red Serpent's body—the King-level Crystal Core.
Therefore, although this set of techniques was not brilliant, it was completely enough for Red Serpent.
This made Wang Jixuan embarrassed.
He didn't have many Demon Race incantations stored in his memory, and only three or four could be used at most, but magic tools and magical treasures could also be driven by demonic power.
‘Demons and Demons are not divided, so what about demonic techniques?’
Wang Jixuan said solemnly, “Red Serpent, I have some skills that are relatively overbearing and don't look very good. Do you want to try if they are suitable for you?”
“I want to try!”
Red Serpent said with a smile:
“What does it matter if they look good or not? I only want two things now.
“Kill the Blade Beasts.
“Kill the City of Spiritual Energy.
“As long as it's useful, I want to learn it!”
“Don't be so resentful,” Wang Jixuan said gently, “If you can't remember it, just say it directly, don't force yourself too much.”
“Yeah, I can do it!” Red Serpent responded with a firm gaze.
So, half an hour later.
Wang Jixuan raised his hand to cover his eyes, somewhat unable to look directly at Red Serpent, who was wrapped in black energy, like a peerless Demon King.
Demonic techniques were usable!
And the effect was very good!
But this also… He, a light of the righteous path, a righteous sect master, the youngest elder in the history of Wangxiang Valley, was actually teaching people to use demonic techniques in another world…
Red Serpent opened her mouth and sucked, and the rolling black energy returned to her body. She blinked her eyes and whispered, “Teacher Wang! Am I qualified like this?”
“I guess so.”
She was almost an excellent demonic cultivator.
Daoist Wang cleared his throat, hid these bad thoughts, and said solemnly:
“I have passed on my techniques and skills to you, and I have the reality of being a master and disciple with you. I already have Wu Man as a nominal disciple… Although I haven't told him about this yet. If you don't mind, you can also be my nominal disciple, so that you can be restrained in the future.”
Red Serpent blinked her eyes: “Really? Do I have to get up and bow to you three times?”
“Are you trying to send me away? Just simply make me a cup of tea.”
“Okay, Teacher Wang, you wait!”
Red Serpent got up and went to find Mudan, and after a busy time, she ran over with a cup of apprenticeship tea.
Although they didn't know why making a cup of tea meant completing a certain ritual;
But when Wang Jixuan took the tea from Red Serpent's hand and took a sip, Wang Jixuan's expression, eyes, and bearing instantly changed.
“Sit down.”
Daoist Wang said slowly:
“The skills I teach you today must never be used to indiscriminately kill the innocent. If you lose your mind and forget who you are, then I, as your teacher, will personally take action to clean up the house!”
Wang Jixuan exuded a powerful sense of oppression.
That was him using his Mahayana remnant soul to imprint a certain mark on Red Serpent.
Red Serpent also had a spiritual blessing, and knelt down very seriously, learning from what she had seen in those Golden Age martial arts comic books, and kowtowed deeply to Wang Jixuan.
“Teacher, please rest assured! Red Serpent will never betray humanity!”
The sun outside the window was just right, and the sunlight transmitted from the ground was still very warm.
Wang Jixuan called Red Serpent to sit down and began to impart some demonic cultivation experience, which he was not lacking now.
In the corner, Deep Sea looked at this scene with a slightly complicated look.
He understood the truth.
Why was he suddenly a generation younger?
…
The next day.
“The three old guys from Wings of Light had a brief communication with me yesterday.”
Alas, they still came to talk to him.
Fifth said simply:
“They said, they will give you one last chance to take the initiative, lower your posture, and contact them. From their meaning, they should want to cooperate with you.
“It's likely that they found that my injuries have suddenly improved a lot, and my strength has recovered a bit.”
The Daoist, who was carving the array base, stopped his work and frowned and asked, “And then?”
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
“There was no then, I got tired of their arguments, and I had no common ground with them, so I directly cut off the communication.”
Fifth hugged her arms and leaned against the door frame, her palm-sized pretty face with a few helplessness written on it:
“They still refuse to face reality, and still hold on to the beautiful dreams of the old era.
“Even, they will fully reflect their high position in the spiritual cultivator civilization in details such as seating arrangements and seat styles.
“However, although I am unhappy with them, you still have to consider it comprehensively.
“The three of them control the City of Spiritual Energy, where there are at least tens of thousands of spirit slaves, and they can also give these spirit slaves more abilities… This is actually a force that cannot be ignored.”
Wang Jixuan continued to lower his head to carve the array base.
He was also thinking, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't help but shook his head.
The Daoist smiled and said, “Do you know what is most important to us cultivators?”
“What?”
“The spirit.”
Wang Jixuan said slowly:
“If the spirit is damaged, cultivation is probably mediocre and ultimately difficult to achieve.
“If these three spiritual cultivators, not to mention others, are respected and consistent people in your spiritual cultivation civilization, even if my ideas are not in line with your spiritual cultivation civilization, it is not impossible to cooperate.
“But they can't even convince you, and all their actions are unvirtuous, untrustworthy, unfeeling, and unjust. If I collude with them, wouldn't I be wasting my own spirit?
“I want to work hard to break through the void and rush into the upper realm.
“I can't go there and see the ancestor of our sect, and the ancestor says—Wang Zheng, come here, I will check your memory to see if you have lost the face of the poor Dao… Then my legs will tremble and I will kneel down to the ancestor and beg for mercy.”
Number Five was also amused by him.
She said leisurely, "So, the memory you showed me before, the one where you were struck by lightning and died, was to break through the void and ascend to the Upper Realm?"
"Yes, but unfortunately, I failed, and then this trial began."
Wang Jixuan sighed softly:
"This is my sad story. You are the only one who knows. Don't leak it out for me."
"Then I should feel deeply honored."
Number Five watched Wang Jixuan's movements and proactively asked:
"Is there anything I can help you with?
"Seeing you, you're really busy, having to deal with this and that."
"It's alright. Wu Man has already helped me share a lot," Wang Jixuan mentioned casually, "If you want to help me, go to your subspace and see if there are any unused scraps, the kind that contain spiritual energy, and get me some. I'm about to refine magical artifacts."
"Magical artifacts?"
"I'll give you some when the time comes, based on the total value of the materials you give me."
"Hmm?" Number Five blinked, not saying anything, and transformed into a butterfly, fluttering her wings and flying away.
Not long after.
Number Five's exclusive spirit slave, Xiang Tiantian, ran over carrying a huge stone box. When the stone box was opened, it was full of a pile of 'scraps'.
Wang Jixuan's eyelids twitched fiercely a few times.
This is bad;
He had just been boasting.
According to the rules of their cultivation world, even if a refiner wants to be greedy with materials, they can only take up to 20%. If all of these are refined into various magical treasures, not to mention whether his war puppets will be exhausted, Number Five could get more than a dozen powerful magical treasures!
Hmm…
A person's life is about adapting to circumstances.
How about changing retaining 20% to returning 20%?
Xiang Tiantian said timidly: "My lord said, you can use them as you please. She doesn't think much of these."
Wang Jixuan: …
Great, now he feels even more guilty.
He cheered up and thanked Xiang Tiantian, then called Mudan over to move the box.
Wang Jixuan suddenly thought of something and turned his head to look at the school next door.
Arrays, magical artifacts, Old Sophie's core circuits, spiritual energy awakening…
A flash of inspiration struck the Daoist's mind, and he suddenly had a bold idea, but he also felt that this idea was too rash.
What he just thought of was…
Could he use arrays, in conjunction with the core circuits he had on hand, as well as Shen Qionglin's awakening technology, to give his own spiritual energy users a collective awakening?
This is indeed a bit rash;
But it might have miraculous effects.
Wang Jixuan struggled for a long while and decided to finish his regular tasks first before considering this kind of risky move.
He looked at the Demon Suppressing Tower design drawings placed aside…
'Try to do both things at once, don't put all your eggs in one basket.'
'If the [Wide Awakening] path doesn't work, then cultivate a few trusted artifact refiners and let them produce magical artifacts themselves to equip the frontline spiritual energy users. Wouldn't that also greatly enhance the strength of the spiritual energy users?'
The Daoist was full of fighting spirit.
Time was limited and there were too many things to do. He had to allocate his every hour reasonably.
So, Wang Jixuan had Mudan make an alarm clock, dividing the twenty-four hours of each day into six segments, corresponding to: war puppet healing, dual cultivation, artifact refining, alchemy, school teaching, and working on the Demon Suppressing Tower. Then, he decisively devoted himself to the great cause of strength building.
If the perspective is always locked here;
In this small workshop, the clock on the wall turned like flowing water, and Wang Jixuan's figure walked back and forth, gradually increasing and gradually disappearing.
He constantly conceived in front of the alchemy furnace, producing batch after batch of pills;
He busied himself back and forth in the newly opened corner of the workshop, manufacturing various simple magical artifacts;
His main body and war puppets were sometimes enveloped in white mist, and the Flood Dragon alien soul regularly hunted the remnant souls of the Blade Beasts every day.
Figures constantly appeared in the workshop, and these figures quickly disappeared.
Wu Man appeared the most times. This young man was deeply trusted by Wang Jixuan and was also Wang Jixuan's capable assistant, already an excellent talisman-making little master.
Chi She and Shen Qionglin appeared in this place with a frequency second only to Wu Man.
Chi She was Wang Jixuan's formally recognized disciple. She had no combat missions and would come to Wang Jixuan's place every day to freeload.
Shen Qionglin mainly came for Chi She, and incidentally reported on the progress of the research project at hand and deeply participated in the Demon Suppressing Tower project.
More than half a month passed like this.
When the awakening degree of the sixth pillar near the D2 Comprehensive War Zone reached 85%, and remained stable at this value for three consecutive days;
When the entire human society was highly tense, and various materials and firepower were densely transported to the expected combat area;
When Wang Jixuan's Demon Suppressing Tower plan was progressing smoothly and had reached the tower body construction stage;
Two waves of uninvited guests appeared near Fortress 76 at the same time.
On a sand dune in the south, two ragged figures, one tall and one short, quietly watched the direction of Fortress 76. The spiritual energy surging in their bodies was very powerful. Their bodies were covered with scales, and each had a special crystal core in their abdomen.
In the high sky to the north, a space carrier slowly landed towards Fortress 76. On the bow of the carrier, two spiritual energy users, one male and one female, wearing the uniforms of the space fortress, discussed the upcoming precautions.
