Chapter 304: The Troop Camp
“Husband, you’re back.”
Su Rantian smiled sweetly, making Li Xingci feel a warm touch in his heart.
Li Xingci paused for a moment, then replied with a smile, “I’m back.”
As they were finishing their meal, an apprentice from the blacksmith shop came over with a bag full of beast crystals.
“Master, here are the beast crystals from the siege beasts; they’re all here,” the apprentice said respectfully.
“Got it; you can go to the celebration feast,” Li Xingci said, his eyes filled with anticipation, wondering what his master had left for him.
“Understood.”
“Xingci, is it true that the Grand Elder’s gift can be activated now?” Su Rantian asked.
“Almost.”
Li Xingci’s golden fingernail transformed into a net and reached for the bag of beast crystals.
As all the beast crystals were absorbed, Li Xingci’s fingernail turned completely golden.
At that moment, Li Xingci suddenly felt the space contained within the golden fingernail.
A golden sphere appeared in the air, emitting a strange wave.
“Please state the dilemma you are currently facing,” an Electronic Voice said.
“Are you a grape?”
“No, please state your dilemma,” the golden sphere continued.
“This world doesn’t allow spiritual energy to exist, and I need to defeat a group of top-tier Nascent Soul stage beasts,” Li Xingci stated clearly and directly.
“Task established. Please find a spacious area outside the city and release the no-spiritual mode combat survival package.”
“Seems like my master accounted for everything.”
The next day, Li Xingci and Su Rantian quietly left the city and arrived at a wide area by the river.
“Let’s begin.”
Li Xingci immediately released the survival package from the fingernail space; though there were many more packages left, he wisely chose not to touch them.
A massive puppet troop camp appeared, and from the camp, countless black seeds flew out like dandelions.
As the black seeds ascended into the sky, they transformed into black balloons, each ten meters in diameter.
As the black seeds grew larger, Li Xingci and Su Rantian felt as if all the sunlight in the sky was being absorbed.
At that moment, the entire camp emitted a strange sound, as if it was drawing in some kind of energy.
An hour later, three solar-powered Precious Artifact Satellites slowly ascended from the camp and flew into the sky.
“My master even included this; now we don’t have to fear those Nascent Soul stage beasts,” Li Xingci said joyfully.
“This is just a basic version of the Precious Artifact Satellite; its power isn’t enough to kill Nascent Soul stage beasts.”
A light curtain opened, revealing a clear view of the surroundings for a hundred miles, clear enough to see the sweat on an ant’s legs.
“If those three Precious Artifact Satellites can’t kill the Nascent Soul stage beasts, then what can we do?” Li Xingci asked.
At that moment, fifty heavy armor puppets walked out of the camp.
“The solar-powered heavy armor puppets can unleash the power of the Golden Core stage for one hour after being fully charged, helping you to kill the Nascent Soul stage beasts,” the golden sphere said.
“Help me.”
At that moment, over ten tool puppets pushed out two solar-powered spiritual armors.
Li Xingci stared at the five-zhang tall spiritual armor, stunned.
“My master can’t be expecting me to use this to defeat those Nascent Soul stage beasts.”
He had never been interested in this spiritual armor since childhood, and even when he traveled later, he only relied on the Rebirth Technique to solve problems without using it.
“You don’t need to operate it from inside; you just need to control it remotely,” the golden sphere explained, opening a hidden compartment in its body that contained a white headband.
“Put this on, and you can remotely control the solar-powered spiritual armor,” the golden sphere said.
“Can I control another one?” Su Rantian asked with interest.
“Of course.” The golden sphere produced a second headband.
Just then, a voice chimed in.
“I want to try too.”
A patch of land nearby rose up, and an old man emerged.
“Li kid, you’re trying to abandon me,” the old man said angrily.
At this moment, Li Xingci fell silent, his eyes flashing with various thoughts.
“Should we kill?”
A massive cannon extended from the camp, aiming at the old man.
“No need.”
“Senior, deceit is common in the cultivation world; we aren’t kin. There are some things I must guard against,” Li Xingci finally spoke after a long pause.
“Li kid, you’re right to do this,” the old man replied.
A blood-red sphere, the size of a billiard ball, was coughed up by the old man.
“This contains all of my cultivation; I used to have three, now there’s just one left.”
“Take this; if we make it to the cultivation world, I can at most regain my Foundation Establishment stage. After I complete the heavenly path oath, you can return it to me, alright?”
“Since you’ve given me hope, please don’t leave me here,” the old man pleaded pitifully.
Li Xingci fixed his gaze on the old man’s murky eyes.
At that moment, the golden sphere pulled out a pill and presented it to Li Xingci.
“What is this?”
“A control potion that can embed an invisible bomb within a person’s body.”
“This can control someone’s life and death,” the golden sphere explained.
The old man directly took the pill and swallowed it.
“Senior, I trust you,” Li Xingci said slowly as he reached for the blood-red sphere.
“That’s good,” the old man replied.
A person’s eyes cannot lie, but the notorious old demon in the Immortal Realm wasn’t among them; it was hard for Li Xingci to read the gaze of a man who had lived for thousands of years in the cultivation world.
Though the eyes seemed sincere, he worried about tricks.
In the end, Li Xingci chose to trust the old man, not because of the pill, but because of the longing for family he saw in the old man’s eyes.
“Senior, do you have a family in the cultivation world?” Li Xingci asked.
“I have a partner who is two thousand years younger than me,” the old man chuckled.
“I believe it won’t be long before you meet again,” Li Xingci said as he put on the headband.
“Now is not the time to take down the Nascent Soul stage beasts; you must train first and pass the test before you can go.”
“This is how you can unleash the full power of the solar-powered armor.”
After the golden sphere finished speaking, it led the three of them into the camp.
In the Hidden Spirit Sect, Jian Wujie returned to his master’s mountain after fighting in the trial tower for a month.
Wang Xiangchi had just returned from feeding monkeys with his father and smiled when he saw Jian Wujie.
“Look who’s back! What rank did you get?” Wang Xiangchi asked cheerfully.
“I got over 500, but couldn’t go any higher. I embarrassed my master,” Jian Wujie said, lowering his head in shame.
“Oh, not bad! Over 500 already.”
“Master, are you mocking me?”
“No, this is praise,” Wang Xiangchi said.
“You haven’t received our Hidden Spirit Sect’s formal education yet. It’s understandable that your fighting strength is a bit lacking,” Wang Xiangchi comforted.
