Let's begin with Chapter 67! My ultra-fast cultivation journey!
Let's begin with Chapter 67! My ultra-fast cultivation journey!
Zhu Que practiced the Ice Flame Sword briefly, and then began to study the two spiritual weapon rewards he had obtained.
The first one is a first-tier guardian-type spirit artifact called "Hu'e Xuanjue".
[Guardian Jade: Tier 1, Jade Artifact. When worn, it can protect the user from damage and calamities.]
[Requirements for imitation: 2 Tier 1 Jade artifacts, 1 Tier 1 Bone artifact]
"It can protect against damage and calamity... but it doesn't specify how much it can protect against, so you can only wear it on your person just in case."
Zhu Que happened to have some spare broken artifacts on hand, so he made a counterfeit version of the Guardian Jade.
The results showed that the pirated version of the Guardian Jade had extremely serious side effects.
It can only withstand a very small amount of damage and calamity.
"If this is the side effect, then the pirated Guardian Jade won't work, unless you carry a hundred or eighty Guardian Jades with you..."
Zhu Que shook his head.
The second is the first-tier spirit storage artifact, the "Spirit Storage Ring".
[Spirit Storage Ring: Tier 1, Jade. It can store spiritual energy and replenish it quickly at any time.]
[Requirements for counterfeiting: 2 Tier 1 Jade Items, 1 Tier 1 Gold Item]
Zhu Que picked this magical artifact randomly.
He analyzed nearly 350 first-tier spirit artifacts in the spirit artifact library, which basically covered all types of spirit artifacts.
But what he never expected was...
The spirit-storing ring he randomly picked, a counterfeit spirit artifact, had a side effect that left him somewhat taken aback—
[Storing Spiritual Energy Ring: Tier 1, Jade. Can store spiritual energy and replenish it quickly at any time.]
[Side effect: Unable to store spiritual energy; can only store corroded and contaminated old artifacts.]
"This is a pirated magical artifact??"
Zhu Que slightly widened his eyes.
It can be stored...
Old and damaged artifacts with corrosion and contamination?
This pirated magical artifact would be practically useless to any cultivator.
Because no cultivator needs to carry around old, damaged artifacts that are corroded and contaminated.
Even garbage collection units wouldn't waste precious refining resources to create such "waste".
But this thing is different in his hands!
Those old, worn-out, and polluted artifacts that are useless to others are all valuable resources for him!
"This pirated magical artifact... it's practically tailor-made for me."
Zhu Que muttered to himself.
Then.
He didn't linger in the training room. He packed his things and then returned to the junkyard.
It was already past midnight, and Sun Zheng was fast asleep in his small room, unnoticed by anyone.
Zhu Que first conducted a simple experiment.
He discovered that a waste storage ring could store approximately three cubic meters of discarded and damaged items.
This storage capacity is already quite astonishing, because most of the discarded and damaged items are very small in size.
A three-cubic-meter space can store hundreds of old and broken items.
Zhu Que immediately began to take action.
He first made a hundred fake filth-storing rings, and then, without thinking twice, stuffed a large number of old and broken items into them.
By the time he finished his work and finally filled a hundred filth-storing rings, it was already six in the morning.
"These are enough. You can come back for more if you need more..."
Zhu Que left the landfill with one hundred waste storage rings.
After a while.
Sun Zheng yawned and limped out of the small room. He had only taken a few steps when he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He turned his head to look to his left and said in surprise:
"Strange, why is there a missing mountain of garbage when I woke up?"
……
Southwestern outskirts of Jinfeng Town.
Cave warehouse.
The cave remained gloomy and dark, but Zhu Que paid no attention to it.
He first released a discarded remnant of a filthy ring.
Then, the fragments needed for imitation were selected, and 8 second-order stone artifacts and 4 second-order jade artifacts were imitated.
This second-tier stone artifact was analyzed by him through his connection with Boss Meng after he analyzed the Time-Sequence Secret Chamber; it had no practical use.
Then.
He placed the stone and jade artifacts into a nine-square grid and began to imitate them!
"Buzz—"
The two spaces trembled slightly, twisting and merging, and a wisp of black mist slowly overflowed from the edge of the empty space.
The entire imitation process went very smoothly.
Zhu Que waited for fifty minutes, only to see the black mist suddenly recede, revealing a huge empty space.
Within the empty space.
A miniature version of the Time-Sequence Secret Realm pod sits quietly.
[Successfully replicated!]
[Time-Sequence Secret Realm Container: Tier 3, Mid-Grade, Obsidian Artifact. A special spiritual artifact modeled after the secret realms of the heavens, it can be filled with spiritual energy using a spiritual core, and the flow of time inside is five times slower than outside.]
[Side effect: When used, the bewitching voice will be leaked.]
Zhu Que carefully read the introduction and side effects.
The original character "秘" was changed to "密" in the pirated version, and the side effect is that it is puzzling.
"Will the bewitching magic sound leak out when used? What are the consequences if it leaks out?"
Zhu Que was somewhat confused.
He looked around the cave, found a flat and open spot, and released the Time-Sequence Dimensional Pod.
"Clatter!"
The Time-Sequence Secret Chamber, resembling a small cabin, landed on the ground.
Zhu Que reached out and touched the outer shell of the cabin; its texture and material were exactly the same as the original Time-Sequence Secret Realm Cabin.
After studying it carefully, he discovered that he only needed to insert the spirit core to activate the Time-Sequence Secret Realm Pod.
Zhu Que immediately contacted Xiao Cai and quickly asked:
"Are you awake yet? Are spirit cores easy to obtain? How much does one cost approximately?"
"A spiritual core?"
Xiao Cai had just woken up and was washing up at the sink, mumbling with her toothbrush in her mouth:
"Spirit cores are much easier to obtain than spirit artifacts, since the regulations aren't as strict, but they're extremely expensive."
She rinsed her mouth casually and continued:
"A first-tier spirit core costs about 200,000 spirit coins, a second-tier spirit core costs 1.2 million, and a third-tier spirit core costs at least 10 million."
"Buy me five Tier 1 spirit cores and one Tier 2 spirit core. I'll ask Boss Meng for an advance on spirit coins, and I'll exchange them for the Object Control Gauntlet," Zhu Que said.
"Okay, no problem!"
Xiao Cai readily agreed.
Zhu Que is her god of wealth and source of income, so she is very proactive in helping Zhu Que with his work.
And her efficiency in handling affairs is also extremely high.
After discussing it with Boss Meng, she used her spirit coins to advance the purchase of the six spirit cores that Zhu Que needed.
That afternoon.
She then took the spirit core and found Zhu Que in the cave.
Zhu Que had also made preparations and handed over a batch of replica artifact-controlling gauntlets to her, asking her to pass them on to Boss Meng.
After Xiao Cai left.
Zhu Que took out six spirit cores.
Spirit cores are not natural products, but are nurtured within the bodies of exotic beasts. Different grades of exotic beasts produce spirit cores of different grades.
Low-level spirit cores have not yet differentiated their attributes and are basically the same.
The first-order spirit core is dark red, about the size of a pigeon egg, smooth and warm, with a faint dark red mist flowing inside.
The second-tier spirit core is pale yellow, with faint golden light spots visible at its core, and its aura is more solid and substantial than that of the first-tier spirit core.
Zhu Que found the entrance to the Time Sequence Secret Realm pod and tried putting in a first-tier spirit core.
The Time-Sequence Enclosure was then activated.
"Buzz!!"
The entire cabin trembled slightly, and faint blue spiritual patterns appeared, while a low humming sound emanated from within.
After a while.
The hatch screen displays the current core energy level.
[Spirit Core Remaining Energy: 100%]
Upon seeing this, Zhu Que excitedly rubbed his hands together; he had already completed all the preparations.
This includes having an artificial spiritual root implanted, wearing a second-tier cultivation artifact, and holding a pen and paper that indicate amnesia.
After everything was ready, Zhu Que pushed open the hatch and stepped inside.
let's start!
My ultra-fast training journey!
