If I had known that No. 5’s family was so wealthy;

Why would he go to any lengths to find the Blade Beast to play "escape through the door"?

After following No. 5 for a brief tour of the manor near the steeple, Daoist Wang was particularly emotional. Most of No. 5's property was inherited;

The previous generation holder of her core circuit was obviously a powerful being in the spiritual civilization. Not only was the subspace spacious and majestic, but all kinds of rare materials were piled everywhere!

Wang Jixuan's eyes were really hot when he saw it.

How long has it been since he used these top-notch treasures?

However, the Taoist Master quickly regained his composure and did not show any desire. He just looked at No. 5 with a little more tenderness and respect. The respect that a rich woman in this world should have.

Wang Jixuan has made up his mind that if he can help No. 5 regain her strength later, then he will help her more; this is definitely not coveting the accumulation of various treasure materials in No. 5's subspace, which is like a sect's treasure house;

Purely because of No. 5's excellent sealing ability and the deep revolutionary friendship they have begun to establish! Pindao is somewhat shameless.

"Here, this is my inheritance spire!"

Deep in the luxurious but overgrown cliff manor, Spiritual Practitioner No. 5 pointed to the gate at the bottom of the steeple in front and said in a clear voice: "Would you like to visit from below, or go directly to my top floor to be a guest?"

Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "Come up from below. I also want to get to know you systematically." Shen Qionglin nodded immediately.

She couldn't ask for this more.

No. 5's little hand waved forward twice, and the two heavy doors slowly opened. A wide space appeared in front of them, with soft white light in front of them. Like old Sophie's spire, the internal volume of this spire is also small. Much larger than it appears from the outside.

This involves the use of the Universe Formation. In their practice world, if they want to achieve this effect stably, they must be arranged by seniors who are proficient in the Universe Formation. However, for spiritual practitioners, it seems to be some kind of circuit. application.

Can it be regarded as some superiority of spiritual civilization? Maybe.

Wang Jixuan controlled the war puppet and stepped into it, his eyes scanning everywhere.

The layout here is like a magnificent palace, with gorgeous curtains everywhere and heavy tones, which also makes the place feel a bit dull.

Behind the curtain are mostly bookshelves, with stacks of books displayed on them. There are also several sets of strange-looking armors in the corners, one of which is covered with barbs, resembling a hedgehog suit. The ceiling above is obviously a lot of work.

A skeleton resembling a giant python is pasted on the ceiling. It looks like it is roaring. The area facing the skeleton's head is a relief of a starry sky. There are two passages on the innermost side of the lobby on the ground floor, and the entrance to the passage is on the wall in the middle. A huge portrait hangs on it.

The woman in the painting is the original appearance of No. 5, the large version of No. 5, full of charm and majesty. "How is it?"

Number Five crossed her arms, and the smile on her lips showed that she was in urgent need of praise.

Wang Jixuan nodded and said with a smile: "It fits my aesthetic imagination of spiritual practitioners, not bad." Shen Qionglin said: "Can I read these books?"

"It's not the language of your planet," No. 5 said nonchalantly, "I don't want to act as a translator for you. I haven't learned your language yet." She walked forward with her hands behind her back: "Follow me. , there are stairs to ascend here."

"The elevator is just an elevator, and there are stairs to go up... uh..." Wang Jixuan's teasing voice stopped abruptly.

It’s really an upward ladder;

It's still a spiraling upward, slowly rotating escalator.

Wang Jixuan and Shen Qionglin stood on the same step, rising on their own, and the layer-by-layer structure of the minaret came into view. This minaret was twenty-three stories high and the inside was much larger than the old Sophie's minaret.

Wang Jixuan didn't know what the meaning of this layer was. His attention was quickly attracted by the "content" of each layer of the spire. Spirit slave;

A large number of spirit slaves.

Unlike the spirit slaves in the Old Sophie Spire, they are almost all in the shape of mummies;

In the spire of No. 5, the shapes of these spirit slaves are no different from ordinary people. They are sealed in amber. From the damage to their robes, it can be seen that they have been seriously injured before, and most of them were left behind by bladed beasts. The scars; the skin where the robe was damaged was intact.

This should be the special ability of No. 5 or the psyker under No. 5's account.

Moreover, No. 5 is also very particular. These spiritual slaves are stored separately according to men and women, with one layer for men, one layer for women, two layers for humans, and two layers for alien races.

They are said to be alien races. In fact, they are probably all in human form, but some are taller and some have different proportions of facial features. It can almost be concluded that they have the same origin as humans on earth. They are affected by the gravity environment of different planets and the natural environment. "choose".

This also shows that spiritual practitioners once ruled many planets and were the overlords of this star field. The closer to the top of the tower, the fewer the number of sleeping spiritual slaves;

Wang Jixuan used his spiritual sense to explore a little and found that the spiritual slaves at the top had stronger souls and more spiritual energy remaining in their bodies. From the bottom up, the bottom layer is the palace structure;

Those sleeping on the second to ninth floors are B-level psykers, with a total number of about nine hundred; those sleeping on the 10th to 13th floors are A-level psykers, and the total number is about three hundred; From the fourteenth floor to the eighteenth floor, there are S-class psykers sleeping, a total of more than forty people;

This was the remaining combat power after they broke out of the circle of blade beasts. There were four women sleeping on the nineteenth floor, their faces all a bit old.

The condition of these four people was very bad. One of them was even on the verge of death. Although he was wrapped in colorful black amber, his body was still disintegrating uncontrollably.

"They are my high-level spiritual slaves, which are SS-level power levels. They are also my maids. There were actually nine of them before. According to the spiritual convention, the maximum number of high-level spiritual slaves can only be nine. We are fighting against the Blade Beast. They gradually sacrificed themselves. The four of them tried their best to protect me, and I was able to fight my way out of the siege."

No. 5 felt a little sad.

She whispered: "When I regain my strength, the first thing I will do is to save them." Wang Jixuan said slowly: "You are quite honest."

"Hmph," No. 5 said angrily, "I'm not a despicable person like old Sophie. Even if a spirit slave is a spirit slave, he wouldn't use it as firewood to keep himself warm." The stairs slowly climbed up.

The twentieth floor of the minaret is revealed in full view.

This place is like a conference room, with a round table in the center and murals on the four curved walls. On them is a white-skinned "goddess" spreading the gospel in the starry sky.

The "goddess" is obviously number five.

The infusion walls and awakening walls of Spiritual Practitioner No. 5 are all displayed here. Each wall has four sides, which can be used to infuse psykers and awaken psykers. The twenty-first and twenty-second floors are The rest area in No. 5 is richly decorated.

The huge princess bed covered with black gauze left a deep impression on Wang Jixuan.

No. 5’s only exclusive soul slave, Xiang Tiantian, is wearing a maid uniform and arranging skirts and shirts in the corner. From last night to now, the entire steeple has obviously been cleaned by Xiang Tiantian. .

Now Xiang Tiantian was almost exhausted, and her eyes were a little stunned. Wang Jixuan and the other two passed by, but Xiang Tiantian didn't pay attention. No. 5 muttered: "This guy is so lazy."

Their destination was the top floor, and the layout here was a little different. The entire space was very wide, with a turquoise lake serving as the ground, and a sarcophagus floating in the middle of the lake. There was a little glimmer of light on No. 5's wrist, and a bracelet shimmered in the light. Medium appearance.

She waved her hand gently, and a moon boat landed in the dim light, with a bunch of snacks and drinks inside. "Come up, I can only entertain you with these."

"Thanks for the hospitality."

Wang Jixuan cupped his hands habitually.

Shen Qionglin watched from the side and followed suit, cupping his hands and clasping his fists.

Number 5 seemed quite happy. He jumped onto the moon ship, returned to his own exclusive area and lay down. He said proudly: "How about it? My spire is much better than old Sophie's spire."

"Well," Wang Jixuan's war puppet found a corner in the cabin and sat cross-legged.

Shen Qionglin was holding a notebook and writing something crazily.

No. 5 smiled and sighed, staring blankly at the low "sky", and whispered: "Wang Zheng, I want to talk to you seriously.

"If you can help me regain my strength, I will never become your enemy.

"I know you are wary of spiritual civilization. Many times, we do not behave like good people, and those three old guys are also a huge threat to you. "But as long as I can subdue them, I can protect you. ...The pillar-level blade beasts are about to wake up. Only I can stop them. Their power is extremely terrifying." Wang Jixuan put away his smile and sat there with his head bowed in thought.

He asked: "Why do you conclude that I can help you regain your strength?"

"It's very simple," No. 5 shrugged, "If you keep refining the elixirs, you can refine at least several thousand of the elixirs I use in a month, and I can restore at least 30 to 40% of my strength after using them. .”

Wang Jixuan couldn't help but laugh: "The effect of the same elixir will become worse and worse if it is used repeatedly." "What?"

No. 5 was stunned for a moment, turned around and glared at Wang Jixuan's puppet, and said angrily: "Why didn't you tell me earlier! I've been thinking about it for a long time!"

The Taoist priest smiled and said nothing.

He asked again: "I should have other ways to help you, but we need to trust each other." "How to trust each other?"

"I'll explore your memory."

"That won't work," No. 5 shook his head, "This is related to the dignity of spiritual practitioners, unless... our memories are shared, and I'll look at yours too." Wang Jixuan sneered: "My biggest reliance now is that you don't have these in my mind. technology."

"It's the same. The skills of us spiritual practitioners will also be seen by you. You also have a core circuit now."

Wang Jixuan thought carefully and said slowly: "Let's wait until we know each other well enough, or we can do it in stages. For example, I will show you one percent of my memory, and you will show me one percent, like this."

"Okay."

No. 5 sat up happily: "I can segment my memory! Can you do it?" "You can teach me this skill."

Wang Jixuan smiled and shook his head:

"But before that, I'd better see if I can help you heal. "This is business."

"Okay!" No. 5 stood up directly, "Wait for me! I'm going to change clothes!" Wang Jixuan wondered: "Why do I need to change clothes?"

"I'm so stupid. When I get bigger, won't my current clothes be torn?" No. 5 had already jumped to the next floor as he spoke.

Shen Qionglin and Wang Jixuan's war puppets looked at each other.

The war puppet has an alloy mask, and his expression cannot be seen; Shen Qionglin's expression is a bit strange. The two talk through voice transmission.

Shen Qionglin simply said:

"Teacher Wang, in my subjective feeling, this spiritual practitioner has no trace of lying, and she also has enough respect for her spiritual slave." From the analysis of her words and deeds, she is following the spiritual civilization convention in many things. , I have another desire for power.

"The starting point of this desire should be to prove yourself.

"What is reflected behind it is actually a kind of vague values. She has no clear desire for something, so she just sets "getting recognition from the same race and the same kind" as her ideal."

The Taoist priest nodded and responded in a voice: "Continue to observe, my judgment may be biased." "Okay," Shen Qionglin picked up a bag of snacks.

Available at vending machines in Fortress 76.

Shen Qionglin was not polite. He tore open the packaging bag and started eating in small bites while staring at the sarcophagus in the distance.

A few minutes later.
