Chapter 101: Lucky Scales (I)
By the time Xiao Junling finished his cultivation and opened his eyes again, it was already early the next morning.
The divine thought moved slightly, and a silver blade about five centimeters wide and half a meter long condensed out of thin air, and the snow-bright sword body was as thin as paper, exuding a cold chill. The golden texture was faintly visible inside the sword body, and under the flick of the fingers, the sword body emitted a crisp trembling sound, as if this weapon was not a highly condensed spiritual power, but a genuine metal casting!
He pulled out a piece of high-density cloud titanium alloy and drove the blade to lightly slash across it, the sharp blade effortlessly leaving a half-finger-deep scratch on it. This material, which is used for the outer armor of large battleships, is like tofu in front of it.
Just in terms of the sharpness of this blade, it is not inferior to a red diamond one-star lightsaber! And according to normal standards, this was originally something that only a high-level spiritual powerhouse in the Star Transformation Realm could do.
A beginner-level Ability in the Star Condensing Realm may seem nothing to others, but he is just a recruit who is just qualified to join the Imperial Ability Legion. But when it comes to real combat power, he is far beyond the current level! If someone is deceived by the rank he shows on the surface, there is a good chance that he will pay the price of regret!
Streams of scorching air flowed around in the meridians above and below Zhou's body, and finally converged into his brain, making his spiritual power more and more condensed and powerful, which was the effect of the Star Sea Treasure: Xibi Dragon Tree Fruit, which had not yet been fully absorbed. With his advancement, most of the medicinal power that was originally temporarily precipitated in his body was released at this moment, and an insignificant small part was released, which was truly integrated into his internal organs, continuously strengthening his body, and purifying the impurities in his blood!
After inspecting the situation in his body, he got up satisfied, and the door of the fully enclosed cultivation room slowly opened in front of him.
To his surprise, Lan Ya was actually standing outside the door, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting.
"Young master, you can be regarded as coming out," there was a hint of resentment in her coquettish voice, "Sister, I've been waiting for you for half an hour!" ”
"Oh? Is there something important? Xiao Junling knew that she would not do this for no reason, and asked quietly.
"His Royal Highness received an order from the Great Sage last night to leave the imperial capital and go to the Golden Yang Star Domain to carry out a mission, it is estimated that it will take half a month!" She said,
"His Highness wanted to come over to say goodbye to you in the morning, but seeing that you were still cultivating, he didn't bother you, and now the space fault spaceships are estimated to have left the scope of the Imperial Capital Star Domain!"
"Does the teacher have anything to say?" Xiao Junling asked.
Her expression became serious: "Your Highness has specially told you not to go out without permission, especially not to leave the fifth planet!" If there is anything, just ask your sister to help you do it! ”
"Could it be...... What bad news did the teacher hear again? Xiao Junling frowned slightly, thinking in his heart.
Xichen Qinglan would not scare him for no reason, of course, even if she didn't say it, he also understood that his current self had long been targeted by some greedy forces. At the first opportunity, they will never mind doing something to themselves.
In the past, there was a female god of war watching by her side, and they would always have some scruples and dare not act too recklessly. Now that Xichen Qinglan is out on business, I'm afraid that some guys' minds are alive again!
"As long as you don't leave the confines of the fifth planet, there won't be a problem, right?" Xiao Junling asked.
Lan Ya nodded and said: "After all, the fifth planet is within the range of the power of the Silent Star Temple, and the vigilance is extremely strong, and with those high-level people staring at it, even the ordinary imperial capital giants dare not cause trouble here, so it is safe here." ”
"If the situation allows, I suggest that you stay at the temple headquarters, otherwise if something goes wrong, my sister will not be able to explain it to His Highness."
Xiao Junling thought about it and realized that in addition to taking classes and cultivating, there was really nothing that had to go out, since the wind outside was not good, what if he was an otaku?
Anyway, the conditions in the Temple of the Silent Star are extremely good, and what you want is not much worse than the life of the emperor.
"Since it's what the teacher meant, so be it!" Xiao Junling said happily, "Is there anything else?" ”
"Oh, Miss Yu Xin'er has been waiting in the living room for a while, do you want to see her?" Lan Ya hesitated for a moment, but still said:
"Another gentleman named Zuo Shiji also sent a message, hoping to invite you to his house at the right time, you see......"
"What? Here she comes! Xiao Junling looked overjoyed, hurriedly pulled out and left, and went straight to the living room in the distance, selectively ignoring her last sentence.
Lan Ya was a little depressed, stared at his back fiercely, and then followed angrily.
In the living room, Yu Xin'er, who looked a little cramped and uneasy, sat quietly, wearing a dark cyan Luo skirt, with a pretty and quiet fair face, and big black and white eyes staring at an ancient ink painting on the wall.
After not seeing her for many days, her temperament has faintly undergone some subtle changes, revealing a deep, distant, and mysterious charm all over her body.
A familiar figure flashed through the doorway, and before she could react, a pair of strong arms were already holding her tightly.
"You're going to die? Don't let it go yet! She struggled, and said with some shame, that there were several maids in the drawing-room, and that it was no wonder that she was embarrassed to make out with no one else.
Xiao Junling smiled, let go of her with some reluctance, waved his hand to signal the maids to come out, and then hugged her and sat down again.
"You've already advanced?" She was surprised and envious,
"That's too fast, isn't it? It took a lot of effort for people to advance to the Shattered Star Realm, but it's good for you, improving your cultivation is as simple as eating and drinking! It's really ......."
"It's all because of the teacher's help......," Xiao Junling smiled, "but your progress is not bad!" After meeting the Great Sage, the problem should be solved, right? ”
If it weren't for the abundant supply of high-level resources in the Temple of the Silent Star, coupled with Xichen Qinglan's special care for him, his current progress would indeed not be so fast, and of course, the role of the secret charm could not be ignored! Now that he is now, his cultivation speed is probably beyond the reach of other so-called geniuses.
However, Yu Xin'er's state is a little special, he has sensed it carefully just now, and he can't even see her current rank, and several of the existing primary and second-order abilities seem to have disappeared, but it doesn't look like the bad situation of genetic collapse, ability degradation, and completely reduced to ordinary people.
"You don't know what to do, do you?" Yu Xin'er smiled proudly, looked at the surroundings and saw that there was no one, and then whispered in his ear:
"Her Highness took me to see the Great Sage yesterday, and she personally took ......"
With the knowledge and experience of the Great Sage of Yuchengxue, it is naturally easy to figure out her state. This girl's area of expertise isn't really in combat, but in space and mysteries.
"People now have two abilities, one is the 'Anchor of Space' and the other is the 'Lucky Balance', both of which belong to the second-order non-standard ability," she said.
The spatial anchor, this refers to the position of oneself and the people around you in the void, which seems to be of little use at first glance, because with the current level of science and technology of the empire, the spatial positioning technique has been extremely developed! However, if all the instruments fail unexpectedly in the process of exploring an unfamiliar star field, this ability can be used to save lives.
The Lucky Balance is a somewhat strange ability, according to the analysis of the Great Sage, it is the ability to change a person's luck index within a certain period of time, as for the magnitude of the change, it depends on the specific situation.
"These two abilities don't seem to be of much use at the moment, and people won't have the slightest attack ability in the future, so it's up to you to protect them!" She said as she rubbed his face gently.
Xiao Junling smiled: "Of course this is no problem, but without the ability to attack, it seems to be a little difficult to accumulate optimization points in the future!" Is there any solution to this? ”
Yu Xin'er's delicate face suddenly turned red, and she said in a slurred voice: "Uh...... This, it seems...... When you go to the battlefield in the future, why don't you just bring someone with you? ”
"Of course I can take you with me," he mused.
"But after all, this method has a certain risk, and it can't be used in normal times! The Great Sage should have a more reasonable and feasible suggestion, right? ”
"Yes, there are two ways," she said as she looked at his face a little nervously, "the first one is that you need to make a sacrifice, well, this is the ...... that the Great Sage gave you"
She took out a card-sized, quaint jade and handed it to him.
Xiao Junling took it and looked at it, and his divine thoughts probed into it, and a message of no more than a few hundred words immediately appeared in his mind.
It was a cultivation mantra for those with spiritual powers, which could condense a huge amount of spiritual energy into a telekinetic bead and then let her absorb it.
The Nianli Bead, which contains abundant spiritual energy, can be said to be a treasure to assist cultivation for any person with special abilities, and can also be used to treat some special injuries, and the creation of some high-level ability equipment is also inseparable from this thing. Therefore, in the market, high-quality prayer beads are extremely sought-after rare resources.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be condensed by spiritual abilities above the Star Realm, and condensing the Nian Power Bead too often is a great burden for the Psychic Ability, and it will even affect their own advancement! So there is no special reason, those who have deep potential and are expected to continue to improve are reluctant to sell this thing in exchange for resources. At most, it is entrusted by friends and relatives to do it occasionally, and the number is not too much.
"Alright! This is on me," Xiao Junling agreed without hesitation, "What is the other way?" ”
"Ahh The ......" There was a palpable panic in her beautiful eyes, and her face was so red that it almost dripped water.
"What's wrong?" He asked, a little confused.
Yu Xin'er was embarrassed, she didn't dare to look at his eyes, gritted her teeth and said, "I won't tell you!" ”
"......" Xiao Junling was a little puzzled, and finally shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay! Since you won't say it, forget it! ”
"Let's go have breakfast! I have a class this morning, would you like to listen to it later? ”
"Of course, let's go together!" She breathed a sigh of relief.
