What did you hear?

Lingtong had already taken off her sword-cutting armor, changed out of her combat uniform, and returned to her favorite outfit of tight jeans and short-sleeves, with her ponytail still smelling of shampoo.

Lingtong accurately described it: "Some brief sleep talk."

"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 before he could 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, and my spiritual awareness will actually improve a bit, and I am only a small step away from the state of gathering gods.

The magic power consumes the potential and occasionally slightly improves his own cultivation level. This time he used the soul control method. Although it left a little worry, the power of his soul also got some increase.

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've already taken care of them for you."

"No problem," Wang Jixuan agreed immediately, but then hesitated.

Lingtong curled his lips slightly and muttered calmly before leaving...

"Junior sister, I don't want it."

"Sister, teach me."

Wang Jixuan raised his hands to cover his eyes, a little unable to bear to look directly.

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 the trouble of arranging this.

Will Institute 13 discover the crystal nucleus?

This should happen sooner or later.

So what should he do next? Does he really want to rely on the military and hang out with Lingtong from now on? In fact, 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 revealed, it is not bad if he can develop 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 world of practice], which does not require spiritual power and is extremely sharp, can be held by Yuanying realm monks.

In your hand, you can easily summon a hundred-foot-long sword light, and you can also absorb spiritual energy to restore your own spiritual power.

'The daggers used by human soldiers today 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 the defense, so we can only rely on heavy firepower.'

'Pindao can't teach the skills without permission, but he can make some weapons inlaid with crystal cores. Only in this way can he repay Xiao Zhou's kindness for covering up for Pindao.'

Wang Jixuan's thoughts became more and more active.

The secret of his practice must not be disclosed, at least not before 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 memory. 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's battle is too frustrating.'

Wang Jixuan picked up the text switch and sent a message to Zhou Zhengde.

[02: See, no need to reply. Get me all the ores you can as soon as possible. Just a few samples. No alloys, just unearthed ores. Secretly give me some of the blade beast's exoskeletons and flesh. I'll get some.

Research. If everything goes well, I will give you a small gift.】

Daochang Wang looked at the cupboard to the side, where there were two black polygonal exoskeletons.

This is the 'massage fee' Lingtong gave him before.

Let’s make a array 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, and inside it was engraved the spirit-releasing formation in the spirit-gathering array, and then wrapped three carefully selected crystal cores with Qi, and carefully placed them in this 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!

You don’t have to worry about the array disk not being able to be used without batteries, the disks can be pressed and rotated directly.

Is this design purely unnecessary?

really.

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 is 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 that he has Ling Tong by his side and Xiao Zhou in the military, Wang Jixuan thinks he is relatively safe.

Hiding the array disk under his pillow, Wang Jixuan stretched out, opened the door and went out.

Lingtong is lying on the operating table in the middle for examination. The robotic arm on her right side has been removed. Sister Wan is 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, put on a pair of clean thin gloves, and 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 let out a soft sigh in his heart.

The gloomy energy in Lingtong's head was actually a bit stronger...

What's going on?
To be continued...
