In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

Supply station, in a room.

The dantian contains a sea of qi, the Niwan Palace gives birth to spiritual awareness.

Strands of cyan light surround Wang Jixuan's body. As he opens his eyes, he can clearly see the detailed bumps on the painted surface of the iron sheet wall.

He slowly presses down his hands with sword fingers together. The rotation speed of the dantian qi vortex, which can barely be called 'Qi Sea', gradually decreases, and the surrounding spiritual energy is gradually absorbed by him.

In the array in front of him, about one-tenth of the spiritual power remains in the three crystal nuclei, which Wang Jixuan pulls out and seals with a demon-sealing talisman.

Gathering Spirit Realm, the second realm of cultivation.

Successful breakthrough!

The process of Wang Jixuan condensing his spiritual consciousness was simpler than he had thought.

The whole process didn't even take three hours.

Wang Jixuan didn't feel too excited, he just felt that his thoughts were much clearer.

Probably because this is only the second realm of cultivation, and Wang Jixuan has already experienced it once in his previous life.

His remnant soul is like a seed, which has already taken root in this body, and today it is completely integrated with this body.

From then on, there is no more Mu Liang, nor Wang Zheng.

'My strength should have improved a lot compared to yesterday.'

'Alas, it's mainly because it was too low before.'

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Wang Jixuan's mouth. He closed his eyes and concentrated, holding his sword fingers upright in front of his nose, and his spiritual consciousness spread out like flowing water.

This is a small spell.

In an instant, a bird's-eye view of the surrounding thirty meters appeared in his mind, and the picture was very clear.

Uncle Tai and Sister Wan are asleep on the second floor. Middle-aged and elderly people don't have much entertainment.

Wan Xiaoqi, who is on duty today, is sitting in front of the console wearing dirty overalls and a shirt, playing an 'arcade' game on an old-fashioned game console.

Ling Tong is still outside his room.

She fell asleep in the chair, and a pair of mechanical arms automatically turned on sentry mode, preventing anyone from approaching within half a meter of her.

Wang Jixuan said sorry in his heart.

He couldn't explain the retreat and breakthrough too bluntly, which caused her to misunderstand a bit.

I'll try to make up for it later, by giving her a magic weapon or something.

'Explore the camp.'

Then, Wang Jixuan shook his sword fingers lightly and pointed them at his brow.

The bird's-eye view that appeared in his mind turned into a normal, level view. A radius of more than two hundred meters, with him as the center, was easily explored by him.

No formations, no barriers, his spiritual consciousness is everywhere.

Isn't it just a refreshing word!

But... uh... there are so many human-shaped frogs hugging each other at night... and you can hear ah sounds...

Taoist Wang shook his head with a smile, and then penetrated his spiritual consciousness into the ground, looking for the reason why the concentration of spiritual energy underground was slightly greater than that on the ground.

Until the limit of his current spiritual consciousness could extend, Wang Jixuan still found nothing extra.

He saw the corners of the mine, the miners working the night shift, and the soldiers patrolling everywhere, occasionally with small mechanical dogs and self-service security robots.

Wang Jixuan was slightly lost in thought.

Everyone has their own things to do, and everyone is working hard to live under the threat of blade beasts. This feeling is also quite good.

He vaguely saw with his spiritual consciousness that at a corner of a mine, a male miner wiped the sweat from his face, put down the electric tool in his hand, and a female miner next to him immediately handed over a thermos bottle. The two were a couple, talking in low voices.

"Wife, we'll be able to complete ten years of service in two months, and the child will be able to be sent to Central City."

"Will they really let us send them?"

"The Black Gang won't, but the Fortress will. Our opportunity to escape the Black Gang's territory is by mining here. Although it's a bit tiring every day, we live with more dignity than before."

"Yeah, the Fortress is pretty good."

"If the Fortress is really good, how could they let the Black Gang run rampant in the Lower City? This is the order designed by the Fortress."

"Husband, say less, it'll be bad if you fail the ideological test later."

"Don't worry, your husband is fine, have a bite of this."

"Oh, there's ash all over my mouth! Wipe it first."

Wang Jixuan didn't continue listening, and slowly withdrew his spiritual consciousness, a little feeling arose in his heart.

Living beings in the world inherently face many hardships.

Slaying demons and eliminating evil should not just be slogans shouted by righteous cultivators. There are indeed many people in the world who are threatened by demons.

There are also evildoers who act recklessly, and righteous cultivators should help the weak and eliminate the strong... Well, help the weak and eliminate the strong on the premise of ensuring that they will not die.

Taoist Wang was about to get up.

Suddenly.

Goo——

Wang Jixuan's hair stood on end!

He turned his head to look in the direction of the Fortress, and the spiritual consciousness he was about to withdraw immediately spread out like a net towards the Fortress.

He just has a lower cultivation level and insufficient spiritual consciousness, but his Dao realm and spells are still there, and so are the skills to control spiritual consciousness.

Soon, Wang Jixuan captured the continuous 'goo goo' sound.

The source comes from... the main body of the Fortress?

Taoist Wang was really a little puzzled.

His spiritual consciousness couldn't explore that far yet, and at this moment he could only carefully sense that the goo goo sound lasted for more than ten seconds before disappearing.

There are two anomalies here.

First, the sound that appeared this time, although similar to the sound he heard before the fierce battle with the mutated blade beast, was completely different.

Second, the main body that made this sound... is very weak, with no middle qi, like it's dying.

'That direction, tilted downwards, seems to be the third floor of the Fortress... Are those spirit energy users up to something?'

Wang Jixuan had the idea of going to the Fortress to investigate, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Can't go.

Can't get carried away just because his cultivation has broken through!

He is just a small cultivator in the Gathering Spirit Realm, not a Golden Core cultivator with an average meaning in the cultivation world!

How to remind Xiao Lingtong about this?

Can't say it directly, otherwise he would have to explain what spiritual consciousness is, what the Niwan Palace is, what Qi training and Gathering Spirit are, what valley avoidance and foundation building are.

Got it.

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly and directly opened the door of his room.

A red flash appeared on the mechanical arm.

Wang Jixuan hurriedly opened his mouth: "Lingtong! Officer!"

"Huh?"

Lingtong opened her eyes, and the mechanical arm sentry mode automatically exited.

She subconsciously stood up: "What's wrong?"

"Something's up."

Wang Jixuan grabbed her mechanical arm and dragged her into the room. Before Lingtong could break free from his pull, he immediately said: "I saw it again!"

"See what?"

"Vertical pupils!" Wang Jixuan kept his face straight and shouted in a low voice, "In the direction of the Fortress! But it's not quite the same as before!"

Lingtong's expression showed a bit of confusion: "Are you saying that a young king worm appeared in the direction of the Fortress?"

"I don't know if it is, I heard a goo goo sound."

"Like a pigeon cooing?"

"Yes."

"Which direction specifically?"

"Fortress Upper City, no more than one hundred meters above the ground."

Lingtong turned around and ran back to her room, carefully taking off the ordinary cloth dress and stockings on her legs.

The newest novel is first published on 69shu.com!

— This kind of decorative material is relatively difficult to find.

Wang Jixuan quickly retracted his spiritual consciousness and said in his heart, "Don't look at what you shouldn't see," and shouted outside: "Do you need me to accompany you!"

"No, I will mobilize the clearing troops first. Xiaoqi, call the Fortress garrison."

"Yes!"

Wan Xiaoqi was stunned for a few seconds, then hurriedly sat in front of the console and started pressing buttons with a crackling sound.

Lingtong quickly rushed out of the supply station. Uncle Tai and Sister Wan quickly entered working mode, preparing equipment for Lingtong. Two large mechanical dogs quickly dispatched a few minutes later, automatically searching for Lingtong's whereabouts.

Wang Jixuan watched for a while behind the console, confirming that Lingtong had gone to the garrison to 'mobilize troops' instead of directly going to trouble those spirit energy users, and finally felt relieved.

What if he finds the wrong person?

It's not a big problem either.

It's always good to check those spirit energy users more carefully.

Taoist Wang didn't bother to watch the situation here, but turned to the corner, squatted in front of the large boxes of 'supplies' and started rummaging.

Dozens or hundreds of kinds of ores were packed in two boxes.

Taoist Wang raised his eyebrows slightly, picked up the box and went to the outer workshop, starting his journey of screening.

After condensing his spiritual consciousness, refining weapons will be twice as effective. He can directly explore the affinity between materials and spiritual energy, and whether the materials themselves are transparent or not.

This is also a major subject.

...

On the Fortress side, Lingtong led the clearing troops into the Spirit Energy User's Home.

Back at the supply station, after working for about an hour, Wang Jixuan looked at the 'samples' that filled the table, crossed his arms, and fell into deep thought.

There are many materials he is familiar with;

But unfortunately, these materials have no spirituality and can only be used as ordinary iron, and they need to be injected with spirituality.

Generally speaking, the best treasures used for refining weapons are born in places with abundant spiritual energy. Many top-quality treasures are associated with spiritual veins.

Spiritual veins are one of the two major sources of spiritual energy in the cultivation world. The other source is the clear air of heaven.

Taoist Wang simply concluded that many of the materials in front of him can actually be used. They only need simple forging and engraving restrictions to create some decent magic weapons.

'Strange, doesn't this world have spiritual veins? Or have the spiritual veins been occupied by blade beasts?'

"What's wrong, Xiao Wang? I saw you messing around here just now."

Uncle Tai yawned and strolled over, put a rolled cigarette in his mouth and lit it, looking at the ores that filled the table.

"What are you doing here?"

Wang Jixuan calmly said: "Making a knife that can cut open the exoskeleton of ordinary blade beasts."

"Ah?" Uncle Tai was stunned for a moment, "How to do it? Use a metal knife to break the exoskeleton of the blade beast?"

"Almost."

Wang Jixuan pointed to the small piece of blade beast limb sample in the corner:

"Uncle Tai, look, this thing itself is just generally hard, but after being blessed by the spiritual energy of the blade beast, doesn't it become extremely sharp?"

Uncle Tai looked enlightened: "You're talking about psionic weapons! The cutting edge research now focuses on light blades; nobody studies psionic weapons anymore."

"Oh? They researched them before?"

"Researched for decades, but not much progress."

Uncle Tai said with a wry smile:

"The military opened over a hundred projects in that category, but they all died prematurely. Forget about extracting psionic energy from the crystal cores; the release of psionic energy involves many unstable factors."

"The most reliable method before was actually using lasers to irradiate the crystal core to produce diffused psionic energy, but the energy consumed was less efficient than using high-powered laser cannons to directly burn the Blade Beasts."

"I participated in several projects, but in the end, alas, they all died prematurely."

Wang Jixuan pondered carefully.

He wasn't thinking about any technical difficulties. Behind him was the cultivation civilization of the cultivation world, so technology wasn't the problem.

He was thinking about the degree of the problem.

He was afraid that if he brought out too many things at once, it would cause too much attention and unnecessary turmoil, which would affect his own cultivation.

"Uncle Tai, do you have any alloys for making military daggers here?"

"Let me find some for you."

Uncle Tai quickly put out his cigarette, placed the remaining half on the table, and turned to run back into the house.

Before long, Uncle Tai and Wang Jixuan were squatting under the table, muttering while holding several alloy hardboards.

Wang Jixuan already had a rough idea of the magical artifact in his mind.

These alloys were unusable. After the raw materials were made into alloys, their 'spiritual energy permeability' was almost completely lost, but the strength of these alloys really opened Wang Jixuan's eyes.

Unfortunately, the harder the material, the less suitable it is for making magical artifacts.

Wang Jixuan was going to forge two types of knives today.

One that can be inlaid with a crystal core, for his own use; the other reuses the spiritual energy in the air, for the military.

In front of Uncle Tai, he would naturally make the second type.

"Do you have a furnace?"

"Yes, small smelting furnaces and electrolytic furnaces are available. I'll go move one over!"

"Also, get me a hammer and an anvil!"

"Hmm? An anvil? Kid, you're not going to learn how to be an ancient blacksmith from hundreds of years ago, are you?"

Uncle Tai said jokingly.

However…

Half an hour later…

Amidst the rhythmic sound of hammering.

Uncle Tai looked at Wang Jixuan, who had taken off his shirt, revealing his well-built muscles, and was now swinging a sledgehammer with a 'clang, clang,' his forehead covered in black lines.

No, there's definitely something wrong with this scene!

He, Tai Tianle, a five-star citizen senior mechanic with thirty-six years of service, the honor winner of the 'Annual Best Logistics Support Team Leader,' wasn't sleeping late at night, wasn't keeping an eye on the monitors to see if his superior needed support, but was here assisting a young man… hammering?

Uncle Tai felt that one of the two people in this workshop must be crazy!

If this thing could forge a cold weapon that could break through the armor of a Blade Beast, then he, Tai Tianle, would eat the lump of iron that Little Wang brought from who-knows-where tonight!
