Zhou Ming wants to make a deal with a spiritual saint-level powerhouse.

But two issues need to be clarified.

One, what would a spiritual saint level powerhouse lack?

Two, what can Zhou Ming provide?

After racking his brains for some thought, Zhou Ming shook his head.

A spiritual saint-level expert lacks nothing.

He also couldn't come up with anything that would make Holy Spirit feel excited and willing to trade with him.

Because the strength reaches the level of a spiritual saint, with that incomparable strength, there is nothing that such a strong person cannot achieve.

No matter how smart and talented Zhou Ming is, it is difficult to come up with something that even a spiritual saint would be interested in.

If there really is such a thing, Spirit Saint may not necessarily make a deal with him, he can just grab it directly.

After all, everyone below the Spiritual Sage is an ant. What is there to talk about with an ant?

In short, in the face of a strong person who can do whatever he wants, no matter what the weak person does, most of it will be in vain.

It is extremely difficult to get an opportunity from a spiritual saint level powerhouse.

Zhou Ming felt clueless and even thought of going home.

Wancheng Kingdom's Lingyuan technology has developed to a very high level. If it continues to develop, it is not impossible for researchers to deepen their understanding of practice and find the key to breakthrough to spiritual sainthood.

The system also told Zhou Ming that from the trance stage to the spiritual saint stage, it is a process of qualitative change of the soul, which is equivalent to the evolution of coal on the earth to hydrogen, which is the nuclear fusion material. The energy level between the two is several million times different. The spiritual saint stage The reason why they are so strong is precisely because they have grasped the key to the qualitative change of the soul.

That is to say, mastering the so-called "laws".

In fact, this kind of law, like the physical laws on earth, cannot be deduced and verified in the laboratory.

The system designed a "soul collider", which cost about 100 trillion spiritual coins to build and required more than 10,000 immortals to control it. Only then could it deduce that law under experimental conditions.

If the derivation is successful, the system can also greatly improve the plane resolution, and Zhou Ming's cultivation will soon reach the Spiritual Saint stage.

Furthermore, the comprehensive national strength of Wancheng Kingdom is enough to support Zhou Ming and his people in conducting this research.

Breakthrough results can be produced in about 50 years at most.

The system calls this "Technology Enlightenment."

And there is more than 70% probability of success.

If Zhou Ming explores other continents and seeks opportunities with spiritual saint-level powerhouses but fails, it is still possible to return to Wancheng Kingdom and take the path of scientific and technological enlightenment.

After all, the system also felt that Zhou Ming was not particularly reliable when he was wandering around outside. It was impossible to kill the Holy Spirit, and it was impossible to try his luck. So the system was a little discouraged, and shortcuts were not easy to take.

"Technology proves the truth..."

Zhou Ming nodded, this method is indeed safer.

But he wasn't going to go back with almost nothing.

He wanted to try his luck again.

"Let's see more of the world outside and interact with a few more powerful spiritual saints. Maybe... we can encounter a chance."

After all, Zhou Ming had just dealt with a spiritual saint. After a slight setback, it was really not in line with his character to just go back home. He wanted to try a few more times.

"Perhaps some powerful spiritual saints are easier to talk to?"

…

Controlling the Speed ​​of Light, Zhou Ming continued to search.

The last injected character was beaten to death by the Holy Spirit during the turmoil. The system was unbound and you can continue to use global search.

Two months later.

Zhou Ming found a new goal. There is also a spiritual ashram in a place more than 300 billion kilometers northeast.

The Speed ​​of Light adjusted its direction and flew towards the dojo.

I stayed there for about a year, observing and learning by injecting bound characters, but still gained little.

The skills passed down from this spiritual saint-level expert can be practiced to the trance stage at most.

There is still no opportunity to be promoted to a spiritual saint.

the next twenty years.

After walking and stopping, Zhou Ming arrived at a total of more than ten spiritual saint dojos.

I have dealt with many spiritual saints.

Zhou Ming also found a way to arouse the other party's interest and establish communication with these spiritual saints.

Psychic messenger.

Zhou Ming claimed that he was a psychic messenger who came from the back of the plane. He had been to many places, met many people, and had countless anecdotes in his mind.

"Psychic messenger?"

"Coming from the back of the plane, claiming to be savvy and aware of everything in the world?"

This somewhat boastful introduction successfully attracted the attention of many people.

You must know that this dimension is infinitely vast, but even a spiritual saint cannot see the whole picture clearly, nor can he know everything, nor can he be said to have a thorough understanding of everything in the world.

There are even some spiritual saints who, due to long-term seclusion and meditation and little outing, still believe that this world is an endless square land.

At this time, Zhou Ming, who was in charge of literacy, appeared. He had a comprehensive map of this plane in his hand, with millions of continents marked... These continents were all places that Zhou Ming had walked through.

Looking at this comprehensive map, the first sense of several spiritual saint-level experts was disbelief, disbelief, and even felt absurd and absurd.

But when they rose to an altitude of tens of millions of feet, in the vacuum, they saw the arc-shaped horizon in the distance and the outline of some date pits.

Several spiritual saints were inexplicably shocked.

After hearing Zhou Ming's explanation of the principle of "universal gravity", the spiritual saints all suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

Subsequently, these spiritual saints treated Zhou Ming, the "spiritual messenger", as their honored guest and discussed and communicated with him for many days.

good!

Zhou Ming found something that even a spiritual saint might seriously lack.

Knowledge.

Or "information".

Indeed, in the field of cultivation, Zhou Ming may not even be able to compare with the fingers of these powerful spiritual saints, but that does not mean that he is not better than the spiritual saints.

Knowledge and experience.

The countless experiences in his mind are not necessarily less than those of spiritual saints who have lived for millions of years.

Many of his insights, even those of spiritual saints who claim to be well-informed, are not necessarily much better than him.

The countless experiences in his mind are Zhou Ming's greatest wealth.

He claims to be a "spiritual messenger", and it can be said that he truly deserves his title.

Because of this, he has established quite deep personal relationships with four or five spiritual saint-level experts.

And in the pleasant conversation with them, I got a lot of valuable information.

Including a lot of things about cultivation.

Some people here may be wondering: these spiritual saint-level experts have generally lived for tens of thousands of years, and some have lived for hundreds of thousands or millions of years. They have never seen anything, and their IQ and EQ are terrifyingly high. How could they be so easy? Will he be frightened by Zhou Ming? Did he extract so much information?

In fact, this is not the case.

Spiritual saint-level experts are not stones, nor are they computers without emotions. Their essence is still human.

As humans, we have needs.

Material needs, spiritual needs, and pursuit of cultivation.

There is no shortage of spiritual saints in terms of material, and their cultivation is also at the peak. The only thing they can have is spiritual needs.

For example, talking to others, learning some external information, listening to anecdotes, having fun... They actually have these needs.

It's impossible for them to lower themselves and talk to ants. Spiritual Saints have their own pursuits, and they also have their own circles. It's impossible to communicate with ants that are much lower than them.

Like a billionaire and an ordinary person worth millions, they belong to two different worlds.

In the same way, because there is little communication between spiritual saints and ordinary monks, the ants feel that the spiritual saints are very aloof and cold, and they dare not communicate with them out of fear.

But Zhou Ming believes that it is not difficult to deal with spiritual saints. Some of them are difficult to talk to, while others are easy to talk to and have quite good personalities.

In the eyes of those "easy to talk" spiritual saints, Zhou Ming is a very special "ant". Chatting with him can make you have a lot of fun, learn a lot, and broaden your horizons, so you are in a position where you can make friends. within the scope.

Zhou Ming also knows the importance of "packaging" himself, and slowly learned to brag and bluff. It doesn't matter if he is exaggerated. The important thing is that it must be enough to attract people's attention!

And attract the attention of the Holy Spirits, strike up a conversation with them, and finally make friends.

In this way, Zhou Ming achieved a lot.

but……

If the IQs of those powerful spiritual saints had not suddenly dropped, Zhou Ming's request of "can you teach some breakthrough methods" would have been euphemistically rejected.

Zhou Ming understands their mentality. Just like those rich billionaires who don't want to see one more billionaire appear, these strong men at the top don't want too many strong men to emerge.

Even if there is only one more person.

They also felt bad about it.

Just like in the entertainment industry, if the four heavenly kings suddenly become the five heavenly kings, the other four will definitely be unhappy.

As for the specific reasons, Zhou Ming could not explain in detail, but he completely understood this mentality because he had also experienced it.

So every time when it was confirmed that there was no possibility of greater gains, Zhou Ming would choose to leave without staying much.

As for the "Comprehensive Map of the Planes" he carried, because of its high value, he got a lot of "good things" from several spiritual saints in exchange.

Among these "good things" -

There are cultivation techniques with high reference value.

There is information on the direction of other spiritual beings.

There is the burial place of an ancient fallen spiritual saint... there may be a glimmer of opportunity there.

Zhou Ming was quite excited and immediately went to the cemetery where the ancient saint was buried to explore it.

As a result, among the countless traps, monsters and various mechanisms in the tomb, Zhou Ming almost lost his life and could only escape desperately. Finally, at the last moment when the tomb completely collapsed, he escaped... basically with nothing.

Zhou Ming sighed at this: "The opportunities left by the dead are destined not to be easily obtained by you. Don't force yourself too much, otherwise you will have to keep company with the dead."

…

At this time, Zhou Ming had a general understanding of the circle of spiritual saint-level experts.

Spirit saints also have a circle of friends.

Moreover, there is also the concept of "sphere of influence" among these spiritual saints. Basically, each spiritual saint has his own one-third of an acre of land and a territory for their protection.

Around some unique, rare and extremely wealthy territories, conflicts often break out between some spiritual saints, and occasionally they fight each other with fists and kicks.

Expanding the scope further, some spiritual saints who felt insecure even formed a mutual aid camp.

Now that the camp has appeared, the hostile camp will naturally appear as well.

Spirit saints also have grievances and conflicts. Zhou Ming learned from a spirit saint: In the far north, there is an ice and snow saint who often leads her tribe to launch large-scale southward invasions with the intention of occupying the land in warm zones. He teamed up with another spiritual saint to defeat him many times, but he never gave up. Basically, he would launch an invasion every thousand years, which was very annoying.

Even if this spiritual saint joined forces with another spiritual saint several times, he still couldn't kill the ice saint... She was quite powerful.

For the sake of the prosperity of the Snow Clan (Snow Clan, a special race, non-human race), the Ice and Snow Saint will probably never give up provocation.

Hearing this, Zhou Ming's eyes lit up.

He saw a need.

Real needs.
