Chapter 13 The Need to Imitate Artificial Spiritual Roots!
Chapter 13 The Need to Imitate Artificial Spiritual Roots!
Zhu Que went to another self-training center and booked a private room for three days in the beginner training room.
"Snapped!"
He let out a heavy sigh of relief the moment the door to the training room closed.
The narrow space, the monotonous gray walls, and the dim lighting gave him a strong sense of security.
It is enclosed, unattended, and free from the risk of being spied on.
Zhu Que leaned against the door, still somewhat shaken, his heart pounding wildly.
The three events that had just occurred were all more impactful than the last, leaving his thoughts in a state of utter confusion.
At this moment, he calmed down completely and sorted out the three things that had just happened.
First, there's that unknown large magical artifact.
Looking back now, that unknown large magical artifact must have pierced through two adjacent buildings—
Testing and Evaluation Center and Hope Self-Cultivation Center.
The problem is that the former is an official institution, while the latter is a private commercial establishment, and in theory, the two should not be able to share the magical artifact.
"I wonder what kind of magical artifact that is..."
Zhu Que was incredibly curious.
However, given his current situation, he has no way to analyze the magical artifact and can only put it aside for the time being.
Secondly, there are those born with demonic traits.
He never imagined that he was also a "born demon".
Although we don't know what "born demon" means, judging from the police officers' ruthless attitude towards Zheng Yuanbo, we can deduce a cruel fact—
A born demon is an existence that is absolutely intolerable in this world!
"This situation is very bad..."
Zhu Que frowned deeply.
In the Kunlun Immortal Alliance, every cultivator must undergo regular testing and evaluation; this is a legally mandated responsibility and obligation.
Without testing and evaluation, it is not only illegal, but also prevents one from obtaining official certification as a cultivator and enjoying the benefits and rights of a cultivator.
If he cultivates to the Qi Refining stage, he will be subject to testing and evaluation once discovered.
At that time, he will be exposed in public just like Zheng Yuanbo, and then be pursued, wanted, and hunted down by the authorities...
Thinking about this...
Zhu Que's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Until I have the ability to protect myself, I can only cultivate in secret, concealing my progress as much as possible!"
Finally, there's Zheng Yuanbai's artificial spiritual root.
Zhu Que opened his coat, took out his artificial spiritual root, and immediately saw distorted tadpole-like characters appear before his eyes.
[Current parsing progress: 0.0028%……0.0032%……0.0036%……]
"At this rate, it should take about two days to successfully analyze this artificial spiritual root."
Zhu Que calculated the time, but had no intention of implanting it, because he did not understand artificial spiritual roots.
Firstly, they don't know how to implant artificial spiritual roots.
Secondly, they don't know what the consequences would be of implanting someone else's artificial spiritual root.
Third, it is unclear whether analysis can continue after implantation.
Therefore, to be on the safe side, he decided to perform the analysis in vitro.
Then, Zhu Que took out another item from his pocket—
The notebook that Zheng Yuanbai handed to him.
According to Zheng Yuanbai, these are basic cultivation problems and solutions that he recorded and summarized while working part-time at the cultivation center.
While analyzing the artificial spiritual root, Zhu Que flipped through his notebook, acquiring various basic cultivation knowledge.
The notebook contained simple yet extremely practical information, as it addressed the perplexing questions repeatedly raised by various novice cultivators, captivating him completely.
that's it.
Zhu Que stayed in the beginner training room.
When they got hungry, they would just buy something to eat at the entrance; when they got sleepy, they would simply sleep on the floor of the training room.
During this time, he called Xiao Cai and said that he had been injured and needed to rest for two or three days.
Time flies.
Zhu Que analyzed the data day and night, and the progress was rapid.
Two days later, as the dim light of dusk fell into the room, the resolution progress finally jumped to 100%!
[Analysis successful!]
[Artificial Spiritual Root: High-grade Profound level. After implantation, it can replace one's own spiritual root, improving cultivation efficiency.]
[Requirements for imitation: 5 Tier 2 Jade Items, 5 Tier 2 Bone Items]
Upon seeing the demand for imitation, Zhu Que's eyes lit up.
Very good!
Creating an artificial spiritual root only requires two slots!
His imitation 3x3 grid only has two usable squares; the other seven are grayed out and locked.
It is expected that one will need to improve their cultivation level before gradually unlocking these abilities.
Originally, he was worried that if three grids were required, all the analysis he had done over the past two days would be wasted.
Fortunately, there are only two slots for imitation.
Tier 2 Jade Artifacts x5, Tier 2 Bone Artifacts x5...
Zhu Que was momentarily stumped when he saw the requirements.
In all the days he'd been in the junkyard, he'd never seen a second-tier discarded spiritual artifact; they were all first-tier, defective spiritual artifacts.
He pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and used the public phone booth outside to contact Xiao Cai: "Sister Cai, this is Zhu Que."
Xiao Cai's concerned voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "How's your injury? Are you feeling better?"
"It's all better now."
Zhu Que said, "Sister Cai, your Guigui Secondhand Recycling company should also sell secondhand spiritual artifacts, right?"
"Yes, I sell it, but I only handle buybacks." Xiao Cai asked, puzzled, "Why are you asking that?"
Zhu Que said, "I need a second-tier jade artifact and a second-tier bone artifact, any quality and type is fine."
"This really won't work."
Xiao Cai's voice immediately turned serious.
"I can help you circumvent some formalities by accepting your spiritual artifacts, and you won't have to register your identity. But selling spiritual artifacts, even secondhand ones, requires real-name registration. Otherwise, if I'm caught, I can't bear the punishment."
"You don't need to sell it to me, just bring it over so I can take a look."
Zhu Que revealed his true purpose.
He doesn't need to buy any magical artifacts at all; as long as he can access the analysis, he can create counterfeit magical artifacts himself.
"Just take a look?" Xiao Cai asked, somewhat puzzled.
"right!"
Zhu Que said, "I'll take a look, and then you can take it back. It doesn't involve any monetary transaction, so it shouldn't be illegal, right?"
"Why are you looking at me?"
"Our factory wants to develop new products."
"Oh, I get it, I get it."
Xiao Cai suddenly realized.
She pondered for a few seconds, then hesitated, "If you only take a look, I certainly won't be taking any risk, but..."
"I can pay for the observation."
"No problem! See you at the usual place in an hour!"
As a money-grubber, Xiao Cai readily agreed.
An hour later.
At the familiar street corner, Zhu Que spotted the small truck in the distance, with Xiao Cai waving at him from the driver's seat.
"Come in."
Zhu Que got into the passenger seat.
Xiao Cai took out two magical artifacts: a jade bracelet and an earring.
"Be careful, these two second-tier spiritual artifacts are luxury items. I had to shamelessly borrow them from someone. They're both very expensive. Don't break them."
"What are luxury spiritual artifacts?"
"Well……"
Xiao Cai organized her thoughts and said, "They're just some magical artifacts that don't really have any effect; they're purely for rich people to show off their wealth, pretend to be cool, and display their status."
"Oh, I understand."
Zhu Que nodded slightly, much like those extremely expensive "Hermes" and "LV" brands.
He first took the jade bracelet from Xiao Cai's hand.
[Unknown magical artifact detected]
[Analysis progress: 0.1%...0.2%...0.3%...]
Zhu Que estimated the parsing progress; by touching and observing, it would take about fifty minutes to reach 100%.
Although using other senses can speed up the analysis process.
However, he couldn't possibly smell and bite it in front of Xiao Cai; that would be too perverted.
"Is that all you think?" Xiao Cai asked doubtfully.
"right."
"How long do you want to watch?"
"About two hours."
Because he can only analyze one spiritual artifact at a time, the analysis time is approximately two hours.
"That long?!"
Name your price.
"Five hundred spirit coins per hour."
"make a deal."
"Huh?"
Xiao Cai immediately raised an eyebrow and muttered to herself, "Damn! Did I ask for too little?"
