When Shen Qionglin ate the blade beast meat grilled by Wang Jixuan, her entire state changed.
She had been feeling somewhat tired, which was due to her continuous involvement in psionic research. Even as an awakened psionic user, she still needed stable rest.
But when a bite of blade beast meat went down…
She felt psionic energy permeating her body, and her energy immediately recovered by more than half. Her eyes flashed with light, and she chewed vigorously a couple of times before carefully swallowing.
No longer toxic?
And without that explosive energy?
The taste was a bit worse than real beef and mutton, but much better than industrial meat.
Then, several symbols lit up on Shen Qionglin's body on their own.
The blade beast meat she swallowed transformed into pure psionic energy in her stomach!
Although this psionic energy couldn't increase the total amount of psionic energy in her body, it could allow her to quickly replenish it.
"Oh?"
Wang Daochang also noticed this difference.
He carefully looked at Shen Qionglin and handed her another grilled meat skewer that was originally meant for someone else.
Shen Qionglin understood, swallowing, chewing, and swallowing again. The symbols on her body lit up again as the blade beast meat transformed into pure psionic energy in her stomach, leaving only a tiny bit of residue.
"It seems," Shen Qionglin pondered slightly, "that these replicated symbols on my body can form a circuit that can digest blade beast meat."
The others nearby were puzzled.
’Three Perfections Titan’ Uncle Tai directly asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"
Shen Qionglin explained simply, "I've been researching the Spirit Cultivator civilization. Uncle Tai, you know that I've completed two experiments myself, one was an infusion experiment, and the other was a replicated psionic awakening experiment. As long as I activate my psionic energy, these symbols appear on my body."
Some 'tadpole script' flickered on her body.
Shen Qionglin continued to explain, "Actually, I still don't understand what many of the symbols mean. This is an entire set that was replicated, using a technique similar to infusion for awakening. Moreover, different combinations of symbols should be able to form different psionic circuits, but I haven't figured out how to use them yet."
Wang Jixuan sighed softly, "No wonder the blade beast civilization rebelled. Even the flesh and blood of blade beasts are being used as food by Spirit Cultivators."
"Not necessarily," Shen Qionglin retorted, "Blade beast meat is more likely to be food prepared for spirit slaves. How could noble Spirit Cultivators eat such coarse meat?"
Zheng Shiduo muttered to the side, "Oh no, Mudan's venomous tongue is becoming contagious."
Mudan clicked her tongue, "Only what is recognized by the masses can be called normal."
Zheng Shiduo wanted to retort, but the words got stuck in his throat, unsure how to argue.
What she said made quite a bit of sense.
Wang Jixuan continued to distribute the meat skewers, and the group gathered around the barbecue grill soon began to enjoy the nourishment of psionic energy to their stomachs.
Unfortunately, the effects weren't as pronounced as they were for Shen Qionglin.
Gao Huating was clearly a little scared.
But in order to fit in, she kept smiling. She also looked like she was gritting her teeth a little when eating the blade beast meat because it was hard to chew.
Wang Jixuan and the others chatted about the war situation at the front lines.
"We won this battle, and all the major war zones have sent congratulatory messages."
Zheng Shiduo chuckled:
"We're going to the general headquarters in a few days to receive commendations. However, Ji Xiao and Ji Yale's names will be hidden, after all, they have too many sins on their shoulders, and it's not good to publicly commend them… Brother Wang, what kind of medal are they going to give you?"
"Old Fu mentioned it, but I turned it down."
Wang Jixuan shook his head, continuing to focus on flipping the meat skewers, removing the resentment from them, and said calmly:
"These things don't matter. It's good enough for you guys to receive the commendations.
"Moreover, it's unknown how long this peaceful life will last. There will inevitably be new troubles later."
Wu Man asked, "Haven't the blade beasts temporarily retreated?"
Mudan explained simply, "They temporarily retreated because the king-level blade beasts originally gathered near D5 suffered heavy casualties. We came up with a low-cost tactic to kill king-level blade beasts… But the blade beast horde will definitely make a comeback, and they will definitely retaliate against us."
Shen Qionglin also said, "These beasts are extremely vengeful. They are extremely evil invaders."
"The problem of the blade beasts is the main problem facing humanity. This cannot be confused."
Wang Jixuan realized that his tone was too serious, and changed to a lighter tone, saying:
"When fighting blade beasts, no amount of power is enough.
"We were able to seriously injure that Gari Nuo this time, thanks to the beast speaker. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to see him if he hid in the area of the main blade beast horde.
"The strength of king-level blade beasts also varies. The king-level blade beasts currently active on the edges of the major war zones are relatively weak.
"Old Fu said that the most important task of these king-level blade beasts is to command the blade beast horde, suppress the development of the human remnants, and keep the human population below the baseline of five hundred million. In the past six or seventy years, as long as the human population reached six hundred million, the blade beasts would launch a full-scale offensive.
"Everyone didn't understand why this was the case before, but now we know the reason."
Shen Qionglin immediately asked, "What's the reason?"
"Classified."
"Teacher Wang, you're really good at keeping us in suspense," Shen Qionglin complained dissatisfied.
Wang Daochang laughed smugly twice, and didn't keep it a secret, "It doesn't hurt to say it, it's not a big deal."
Everyone listened attentively.
Wang Jixuan placed the newly grilled meat skewers on an iron tray, and his voice was somewhat distant as he slowly recounted:
"I had a brief exchange with that Gari Nuo, it was in a dreamscape—or what I thought was a dreamscape. Who would have thought I'd make a fool of myself.
"During our exchange, it was difficult to deceive the other party with lies. There was a kind of soul-state induction.
"What he said was, to a certain extent, credible.
"He mentioned a point, that the core circuits of Spirit Cultivators have a certain reincarnation attribute…"
He explained this information in detail to Shen Qionglin.
Shen Qionglin was overjoyed, put down the grilled meat skewers, took out the equipment she carried with her, and began to record, constantly thinking and asking questions.
The others didn't dare to interrupt, and just listened by the side.
Soon, Shen Qionglin realized the meaning behind Wang Jixuan's words.
She said excitedly, "The hidden information behind this is that the Fourth Spirit Cultivator can be killed, and there is a way to seize his power!"
"That's right," Wang Jixuan smiled, "The key is how to get a replica of the Fourth Spirit Cultivator's core circuit. Obtaining this circuit allows you to borrow his power, and when he is killed, the replica can become genuine."
Shen Qionglin lowered her head and thought.
She was a little tempted.
Not because she was tempted by this power, but because of a… pure desire to dissect Spirit Cultivators and core circuits.
"This secret is great," Shen Qionglin got up quickly, "I'm going back to organize the information. There's some information that I originally couldn't figure out the secrets behind, but now I think I've figured it out… I'll report to the organization in a timely manner if there are any results."
Wang Jixuan hurriedly called out, "Finish eating before you leave."
"I'm full!"
Shen Qionglin waved her hand, jumped out the window, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, symbols of two colors lit up on her body, and she flew away into the sky.
Gao Huating was stunned.
Zheng Shiduo clicked his tongue, "This guy is a bit obsessed."
"That's the charm of knowledge," Wang Daochang praised, "Last time I went to Iron Wall Fortress, I wanted to test your combat power, but I didn't expect to have Professor Shen as an unexpected gain. This Spirit Cultivator civilization may really be destroyed by her hands."
Zheng Shiduo smiled cheekily, "I said it! I've always been a lucky general!"
Mudan, who brought everyone freshly squeezed juice, said lightly, "Commander, Auntie has already started investigating the Snow Mountain Base."
"Okay," Wang Jixuan said, "Tell her to pay attention to safety, and try to investigate as much as possible."
"Do we have to follow all the prices she quoted?"
"The talisman water is easy to say, but the macho man…"
Wang Jixuan pondered, hesitant to speak, and muttered:
"We can't go against a man's will, that's immoral."
Zheng Shiduo asked, "What is it? What kind of macho man is needed? Am I macho enough?"
Mudan said with a grin, "I think you are."
Wang Daochang subconsciously imagined the scene of Old Zheng and Dragonfly Auntie being in the same room, and the atmosphere gradually becoming ambiguous.
Oh no, his Dao heart… is no longer pure.
… …
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
Dragonfly Auntie's efficiency was still good.
In just half a day, she not only completed the investigation, but also provided a standardized investigation report.
Wang Daochang could also see that this Auntie might really be eager for that kind of temporary romantic encounter.
He was preparing to find Fu Jian to get a 'macho mechanical body', so that he would not violate the principles and could also pay Dragonfly Auntie.
Wang Jixuan was in the studio 'incubating stones' when he received the investigation report from Dragonfly Auntie.
The so-called incubating stones is to use the power of the formation and one's own magic power to nourish the recovered treasure mines. This is a necessary step before refining weapons.
Purely using the formation to nourish them has a slightly worse effect. Wang Jixuan usually did this in his previous life.
But now…
Being able to slightly increase the success rate of refining weapons and slightly increase the power of magical artifacts is always a good thing.
Wang Jixuan glanced at the report;
His mood, which had been sunny and cheerful for a few days, quickly sank.
The investigation report described it in detail, and after Mudan's extraction and summary, it can be simply summarized into three points.
First, Xing Dian's SS-level promotion ceremony is almost ready, but there is some kind of problem with the ceremony, and they are actively solving it.
Second, the Six Elders forgave Xing Dian and reached a certain deal with Xing Dian. Xing Dian seemed to have given the Six Elders some precious things.
Third, there are currently at least four Spirit Control Council trial team squads, about twenty people, stationed in the Snow Mountain Base, and there may be more high-level spirit users.
The Beast Speech Master's sudden trouble caused Wang Jixuan some delays and disrupted his plans.
Now, he suddenly realized that Xing Dian was not far from reaching SS-class.
Seeing Wang Jixuan frowning in the studio, the others stopped their work and gathered around to look at the information displayed by Mudan.
Uncle Tai didn't quite understand the matters of spirit energy users, so he glanced at it a few times and went back to his own work.
Zheng Shiduo's expression was also a bit solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "This matter must be taken seriously. If it doesn't work, we'll just drop a few high-yield nuclear bombs there and blast the hell out of it!"
"If it were that simple, we would have bombed it last time."
Wang Jixuan sighed:
"I can roughly understand that most of the high-level officials in the D2 Comprehensive War Zone are now leaning towards the City of Spirit Energy."
"They have complete air defense conditions there."
"Now we have two paths to take. The first is to ignore the political and military issues, launch a small-scale elite sneak attack, and rush down with nuclear bombs."
"But I saw in the report that there is also a small fortress below the Snow Mountain Base, with definitely two to three hundred thousand people, and a large number of innocent people will inevitably die."
"The second path is to follow the Commander-in-Chief's idea, coercing D2 with the general trend, forcing them to give up protecting the Snow Mountain Base, and then bomb it."
"Civilian casualties will definitely be very heavy too."
Gao Huating, who was trying to understand this information, revealed a serious expression nearby.
Wang Jixuan turned his head to look over.
Gao Huating quickly raised the vacuum cleaner in her hand, indicating that she was just a cleaning lady.
Wang Jixuan: …
"It's okay, you don't need to cooperate with facial expressions. At this stage, you just need to watch and learn more."
Gao Huating quickly said, "Okay, Wang… Brother Wang."
Zheng Shiduo on the side immediately showed a meaningful smile.
Wu Man asked, "What kind of obstacles will Xing Dian encounter?"
"We need to ask Ji Xiao and Ji Yale about this," Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, "Invite Ji Xiao over, and let Ji Yale continue to accompany his wife. Isn't his wife still pregnant? Now is a rare vacation."
Zheng Shiduo muttered, "The word 'invite' is a bit too heavy, they can't afford it."
Taoist Wang smiled without saying a word.
He looked at the thousands of words of information in front of him and sat on the sofa, lost in thought.
Mudan suddenly said, "Should we pass the news from Aunt Qingting to Shaman and Treant Beta?"
"Tell them," Wang Jixuan said, "Arrange for them to communicate directly with Aunt Qingting, but tell Aunt Qingting in advance that I need Treant Beta here, and Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian's need for Beta is even more urgent."
"Okay, sir, in fact, we can use the information gap to carry out a certain degree of deception."
"We can deceive and swindle the enemy, but not our friends."
Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows, taking the opportunity to reprimand this little Mudan who had been a bit lawless recently:
"If you want long-term friendship, this aspect is especially important."
"You also have a spirit body now, think more about this, don't always think about how to be shocking and relentless, can your little venomous tongue break the enemy's defense?"
"Oh," Mudan replied aggrievedly.
Gao Huating blinked.
The boss is so fierce today.
Wu Man asked, "Sir, why don't our Buddha Hall Squad and Maid Corps act together and get rid of this Xing Dian at the Snow Mountain Base as soon as possible?"
"Don't rush," Wang Jixuan looked at the few treasures in his hand that were already emitting a faint light, "There's no use in rushing, we must prepare more. That place is already a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and we must be prepared to face a true SS-class spirit cultivator."
Zheng Shiduo asked, "Then wouldn't we have to directly ask the Commander-in-Chief to take action?"
"No need," Wang Jixuan said, "When my injuries recover, my strength will improve, and I will make a batch of new weapons later, using these things."
Storage magic items loaded with nuclear bombs, new flying swords to determine the situation!
If these are not enough, then he will use some of Aunt Qingting's resources.
The Naturalist faction also has SS-class spirit energy users.
"Don't think about these things, just rest well," Wang Jixuan smiled, his eyes full of confidence.
This confidence also infected everyone.
As if no difficulty could stop them, and no strong enemy was invincible.
Wang Jixuan thought to himself:
In the next few days, no one can delay his time, stop him from cultivating, no one!
The next day.
"Sir, the Commander-in-Chief is visiting, he's on the first floor, saying he has important matters that require you to go there, Commander Ling Tong is also there."
