Chapter 63: Spirit Jade
Three days later, Wang Yulun was on a mission with Xu Gang.
“Our main task this time is to collect the heart stones of the Giant Rock Beasts.”
“These are group beasts, and they often gather in groups of dozens,” Wang Yulun said, leading Xu Gang to a hidden area and pointing to a section ahead.
Xu Gang looked at the rocky area in front of them and asked, “Are those Giant Rock Beasts?”
“Yes, those are the Giant Rock Beasts resting. They don’t pose any threat to me. I’ll clear out the Foundation Establishment Stage ones first, then protect you while you take care of the Qi Training Stage Giant Rock Beasts,” Wang Yulun said as he donned his Spiritual Energy Armor, ready for battle.
At this moment, Xu Gang quickly stopped Wang Yulun and pulled out a long spear.
“Uncle Master, wait! My master asked me to test the power of this magical artifact,” Xu Gang said, wielding the spear.
“Oh, is this a treasure crafted by Big Brother Xu?” Wang Yulun asked with interest as he took the spear.
“Uncle Master, please don’t trigger it randomly. This magical artifact is very dangerous,” Xu Gang warned quickly. According to his master, it could directly eliminate all beasts below the Golden Core Stage.
“Oh, let me see how powerful it is.” Wang Yulun handed the spear back to Xu Gang.
“Could you record the test with the light shadow technique?”
“Of course.” Wang Yulun waved his hand, and a virtual eye appeared beside him.
The Electromagnetic No. 1 spear flew into the air, pointing at the largest rock ahead.
‘Zii~~~’
Thunderous sounds erupted from the sky, as wires wrapped around the spear formed a tubular passage.
‘Boom!’
In an instant, the spear vanished, followed by a thunderous roar.
‘Boom!!’
The sound of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting filled the air, and the group of Giant Rock Beasts had no time to cry out in pain before they disappeared.
When the smoke cleared from the explosion, Wang Yulun and Xu Gang stared at the huge crater in a daze.
“This power is way stronger than the C4 my master gave me,” Wang Yulun said, referring to the life-saving artifact that cost 10,000 spirit stones.
“Uncle Master, didn’t you notice another problem?”
“What will we do about our task?” Xu Gang asked, looking like he could cry.
“Damn it, I worked so hard to find that group of Giant Rock Beasts!”
Meanwhile, Xu Yuexian, clad in her Spiritual Energy Armor, was surveying the ruined cave.
“I just wanted to break a protective barrier; how did it end up like this?” She rummaged through the rubble, hoping to find something of value.
In the artifact crafting room, Xu Fan was diligently crafting Wang Yulun’s Spiritual Energy Armor, this time with great care.
He felt that Wang Yulun was his lucky star, as he always provided the key spirit ore at crucial moments. That piece of soul iron had allowed his puppet army to take shape.
Now, with the Spirit Heart Ore, his puppet army’s fighting strength had elevated, almost granting them a semblance of life.
“I wonder what surprise this kid will bring next time.”
A month and a half later, Wang Yulun set off on his journey to Baihua Sect with his precious artifact, the Spiritual Energy Armor.
At that moment, Ye Xiaoyao was busy arranging his thirty-six flying swords, and Xu Fan had already crafted twenty of them for him.
Meanwhile, Xu Fan was scolding his two beloved disciples.
“I told you to listen. At the rate you two are advancing, how can you expect to reach the second-grade Foundation Establishment like Uncle Wang?” Xu Fan looked at them with frustration. In such a short time, both siblings had already broken through to the fifth layer of Qi Refinement.
“Master, it’s not that we don’t want to suppress our cultivation, it’s just that we can’t. The technique you taught us is top-tier; our spiritual energy is more than double that of others at the same stage.”
“Even if we don’t train, the technique runs itself according to the flow,” the siblings said with pained expressions.
“Exactly! That’s why you need to suppress it. If one of you advances to the sixth layer of Qi Refinement within a year…”
“Then don’t blame me for expelling you from the sect,” Xu Fan said with a stern face. In his view, advancing too quickly indicated an unstable foundation. Without compressing their spiritual energy to the extreme and honing their mental strength to the purest state, their foundation would be weak.
The siblings felt like crying; they didn’t have a good way to suppress their cultivation.
“By the way, from now on, you must stay at each layer of Qi Refinement for at least a year before you can break through,” Xu Fan added.
After reaching the peak of Qi Refinement, he discovered that advancing too quickly had left his foundation somewhat shaky, and fixing it would require several times the effort.
“Understood,” they replied.
After Xu Fan went into the house, the siblings began discussing how to suppress their cultivation and sharpen their mental strength, but they had no clarity even after half a day of deliberation.
“Forget it, if we can’t come up with anything, let’s go beat up Little Fatty first,” Xu Gang proposed, suggesting they relieve their stress by dealing with someone else.
Xu Yuexian’s eyes brightened up; this was one of their favorite activities.
Little Fatty was the kid who bullied them in school, and Xu Gang had once been beaten by him.
In a ring at the Battlefield Peak, a disciple in his teens, weighing around 200 pounds, swung a spiked club and knocked a Qi Refinement sixth layer cultivator off the platform.
At that moment, Little Fatty’s popularity soared as he shouted loudly to the surrounding disciples of the same stage, “Who else? Who else?”
Ever since he had been inexplicably beaten up, he hadn’t enjoyed such a confident moment in a long time.
Just then, a figure with a goofy demeanor slowly walked up to the ring.
“Little Fatty, do you remember me?” Xu Gang said with a smile as he spotted Little Fatty, having masked himself to punch him three times in the past.
“You’re that foolish kid who wanted to duel me back in school.”
Little Fatty’s words instantly angered Xu Gang.
“Do you remember what happened on the way to Tai Xue Peak half a month ago?” Xu Gang shot back.
“You’re the idiot who masked himself to hit me!” Little Fatty exclaimed, his anger flaring up as he activated his light armor and brandished the spiked club at Xu Gang.
“Let the battle begin,” the referee at the ring said lazily, as watching children fight was quite dull to him.
“Bring it on!”
Xu Gang conjured a whip made of fire in his hand, a smile of excitement on his face—not just any smile, but one fueled by the desire to fight.
………………
On the little hill, Xu Fan was eagerly staring at a small jar in front of him.
“All this effort, and I finally got you unlocked. Let’s see what you really are,” Xu Fan said excitedly.
When he received this jar, he found that the surface was covered with eighty-one runes, resembling a combination lock from his past life.
As the runes twisted on the jar’s surface, white light began to overflow from within.
As more and more white light poured out, the lid of the jar completely opened, and then the white light vanished, returning everything to normal.
Xu Fan looked eagerly into the jar, only to discover a piece of spirit jade etched with a great sun rune.
“This looks like ordinary spirit jade. Could there be more to it?” Xu Fan pondered as he continued to observe the spirit jade.
Meanwhile, in the inner sect, Ye Xiaoyao was troubled, while Old Sword in his mental world smiled cunningly.
