Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 17 Rapid Advancement! Super-Large Spiritual Artifact!

After being shocked and moved, Zhu Que composed himself and began his cultivation for the evening.

He closed his eyes again, sat cross-legged, and began to breathe in and circulate his spiritual energy.

now.

The speed at which he circulated his spiritual energy was as fast as a wild horse.

The entire cultivation process was incredibly smooth, without the slightest delay or sluggishness.

The spiritual energy surged into his body like a tide, continuously tempering his body through his eight extraordinary meridians.

Zhu Que felt an unprecedented sense of comfort.

Time flies.

Gradually, Zhu Que's absorption rate of spiritual energy reached a perfect balance with the spiritual energy supply rate of the cultivation room.

He was able to absorb all the spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Cloth in one go.

After he guided the spiritual energy through a full cycle, the spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Cloth was completely replenished.

that's it.

As the spiritual energy continuously refined him, Zhu Que immersed himself in a state of cultivation that was almost selfless.

The sky is bright.

Zhu Que's body suddenly trembled, his consciousness seemed to be cleaved by a sharp blade, and an invisible barrier shattered.

In an instant.

He felt his mind was clear and his senses were sharper than ever before.

"call!"

Zhu Que exhaled a breath of stale air, slowly opened his eyes, his breathing steady, yet he could not hide his excitement.

He could clearly feel it just a moment ago—

He broke through!

He has finally reached the Qi Refining stage!

This is his first breakthrough since he started cultivating!

Zhu Que couldn't wait to find the testing equipment at the cultivation center.

Just as he was about to test his cultivation level, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to the cultivation room.

This testing device is an older model and cannot detect that he is a born demon, but his identity information still needs to be entered.

Once identity information is entered, the test results will be uploaded to Lingwang simultaneously.

That's when his trouble began—

He was a fifth-class person, but he entered the Qi Refining stage after only a few days of cultivation, and he also received a high-grade Xuan-level artificial spiritual root.

This is definitely an anomaly in the Spirit Network database, and the police could not possibly ignore it.

Once the police find him and have him use the new testing equipment, his "born demon" status will be instantly exposed.

"Although it's possible to remove the artificial spiritual root and then use instruments to test it, there's absolutely no need to take the risk."

"The most important thing now is to cultivate in silence and try to develop the ability to protect oneself and escape, just like Zheng Yuanbai."

Zhu Que remained clear-headed and calm, setting his next goal—

Lay the foundation as soon as possible and eliminate the distortion.

Then.

Zhu Que glanced at the time; it was almost six in the morning.

Following the instructions in Zheng Yuanbai's notebook, he organized the spiritual artifacts he needed and then left the cultivation center.

now.

The sky was just beginning to lighten with a greyish-white dawn.

Zhu Que used a public phone booth to dial Xiao Cai's cell phone. After ringing for a long time, the call was finally answered.

"Mmm...feeding..."

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Cai was clearly still half asleep, her voice groggy and soft, nasal.

"Who is it... calling so early in the morning..."

"Sister Cai, I am Zhu Que."

"Wishing you a splendid future..."

Xiao Cai shifted her position, her tone slightly more awake, "Why did you call me so early?"

"I'll tell you the list of the second-tier spirit artifacts you need."

"Alright."

Xiao Cai yawned and muttered:

"I'll do my best, but I don't have much access to second-tier spiritual artifacts. Don't blame me if I can't get one."

"Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."

Zhu Que told her about the spiritual artifacts she needed one by one.

Now, he has been implanted with a high-grade Xuan-level artificial spiritual root, and the other spiritual artifacts that assist in cultivation also need to be upgraded.

Only in this way can he further improve his cultivation efficiency.

For example, if he were to switch to a second-tier spirit-gathering cloth, which is currently a first-tier spirit artifact, the effect would definitely be much better.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Que had a hearty breakfast outside and also brought one to Sun Zheng.

The sixth landfill, a waste and debris area.

Zhu Que pushed open the door and entered, seeing that Sun Zheng was still sleeping. He placed the breakfast aside and waited for him to wake up.

"Zhu Que? You're back."

A moment later, Sun Zheng slumped to his feet, saw breakfast, grabbed a meat bun, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"How is your injury?"

"It's almost done." Zhu Que smiled and asked, "Brother Sun, has anything happened at the garbage dump these past three days?"

"What could possibly happen at a landfill?"

Sun Zheng complained, "It's because Tang Ke helped you get leave that my garbage quota for these three days has increased to twenty tons."

"what?"

Zhu Que was stunned.

He never expected that after he took leave, his ten-ton garbage quota would be directly transferred to Sun Zheng.

That damn farm manager, Tang Dongfang, is such a beast.

"Brother Sun, I'm sorry, but you should rest for the next few days. Just leave your ten-ton quota to me," Zhu Que said.

"No."

Sun Zheng waved his hand dismissively and said, "Just take me out for a good meal at noon."

Zhu Que readily agreed: "No problem, Brother Sun, order whatever you want to eat. Tang Ke gave me several thousand spirit coins, and I still have quite a bit left."

"Then I'm going to have to fleece you!"

Sun Zheng joked, "Judging from your complexion, you must have been eating well lately. You don't look like someone who works at a garbage dump anymore."

"Yes, I have eaten quite well these past three days."

Zhu Que smiled.

He appeared calm on the surface, but a slight unease settled in his heart.

Sun Zheng's words served as a reminder to him.

Although breaking through to the Qi Refining stage is a good thing, as his physique improved, his blood and qi became more abundant, and his mental state was also completely renewed.

Even Sun Zheng noticed the change in him at a glance.

Now you can also blame it on Tang Ke, saying that you ate well after taking her money.

But what about the future?

As his cultivation level improves, his blood and qi will definitely get better day by day. How will he explain that then?

Zhu Que's brain was racing.

Around noon.

Zhu Que treated Sun Zheng to a seafood meal.

Then, he sent Sun Zheng back to the landfill first, while he contacted Xiao Cai from a public phone booth.

"Sister Cai, this is Zhu Que. I want to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Are there any magical artifacts that, after use, can make someone look extremely weak and have a very poor complexion?"

"Hmm, it seems there are some, but they're rare spiritual artifacts. I've never collected one before, and I don't even know what they're called."

Xiao Cai said, "Why don't you go to the library and look up some information? There should be records of these obscure magical artifacts in the books."

"Okay, thanks, Sister Cai."

Zhu Que immediately went to the library, but after searching for a long time, he still had no clue and had to go back to the junkyard to continue working.

It was evening.

Zhu Que completed his ten-ton garbage quota and went to the library again, where he quickly found a book called "The Complete Collection of Obscure Spiritual Artifacts" in a corner.

He immediately sat down on the ground and began to read carefully.

however.

The moment his palm touched the ground, a line of twisted, tadpole-like characters appeared before his astonished eyes—

[Current parsing progress: 0.01834%...]

"???"

Zhu Que's eyes widened suddenly.

What happened?!

Surprisingly, there was no "Unknown artifact detected" message again!

In other words...

This is a spiritual artifact that he has not yet successfully deciphered!

Currently, there is only one magical artifact that he has not yet successfully analyzed, and it matches this analysis progress.

That unknown large spiritual artifact connected to the testing and evaluation center and the Hope Self-Cultivation Center!

"this……"

Zhu Que immediately looked confused.

The testing and evaluation center and the Hope Self-Cultivation Center are, after all, adjacent buildings connected by a large spiritual artifact. Upon closer examination, several reasonable explanations can be found.

But the library is almost three kilometers away from both buildings!

What kind of "large-scale magical artifact" can cover such a long distance?

This was no longer just a large-scale spiritual artifact; it was an "ultra-large spiritual artifact" that was far beyond his comprehension!
