Chapter 432: Chapter 75 Xi Yin Drone (2/3)

"Chips..."

An Jing had a bit of a headache.

If it were up to him, he definitely wouldn’t want to use chips that definitely have backdoors from the Xuanye City officials.

But to use a cracked chip directly would seem too deliberate, and using a cracked chip would prevent him from entering, or even getting close to, the core layer of the Tianyuan Realm Group and learning some secrets.

Was there a way to solve this issue? An Jing quickly thought of "Dual Card Dual Wield."

But here came the problem, he was human, not a terminal, and couldn’t run a virtual machine, so how could he engage in Dual Card Dual Wield?

"Iron Hand Guiyi Army definitely has ways to deal with this, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to carry out espionage activities."

If ordinary channels were ineffective, one would have to rely on internal company strife or rebellious organizations like the Guiyi Army.

Noting this matter down, An Jing turned his attention back to the direction of Huo Qing and Nian Quan, noticing that the relationship between the two had quickly warmed up.

"It’s fine, you can just get started. After all, this house is specially maintained by people hired by the principal, it doesn’t come out of my account."

Nian Quan was enthusiastically inviting Huo Qing to disassemble the Foundation Spirit Gathering Formation for study, and he noticed that Huo Qing’s knowledge of formations was very exquisite and his foundation in cultivation was also solid, understanding why An Jing had always taken him along.

If that was the case, and the other was interested in the Foundation Establishment Formation, then let him look. After all, Nian Quan wasn’t the one paying in Good Deeds, and if Huo Qing actually made a breakthrough, wouldn’t it be a great thing?

"That doesn’t seem right..."

Huo Qing was still hesitant, "What if I mess it up..."

"If it breaks, it breaks. Consider it the coaching fee for those two days you helped me with sparring. You have no idea how much I made by taking first place at Third Middle School. The principal was in a hurry to leave just now, I guess it’s because sponsors and financiers are looking to talk to him about related matters."

Nian Quan didn’t care in the slightest, he was very aware of his value.

For Third Middle School as of now, a Nian Quan who could defeat First Middle School’s main player was simply priceless, whether it was for media publicity or teacher-student resources, or the attention and policy preference from higher-ups, all of it would start as a result of this victory.

The reason Principal He was so amenable was simply because he had already made a substantial profit, and the convenience he provided to An Jing and others was merely a drop in the bucket of what he had earned from this event.

Never mind drones and Evil-Repelling Clothes, even if An Jing asked him for military-grade Puppetry, at most he would just give them to Nian Quan so that Nian Quan could pass them on to An Jing, avoiding the pretext of selling lethal military weapons to Wilderness people.

Thinking of this, An Jing no longer cared about the two engrossed in their formation research, instead he went to open the box containing the drone and Evil-Repelling Clothes.

The drone in the box wasn’t large, it was a pure black metallic sphere. An Jing initially did not see the familiar wings and rotors he knew, and was somewhat hesitant, but he quickly discovered the drone’s controller.

The controller was a Water Mirror, into which An Jing channeled his Spiritual Power, linked his Divine Sense, and invisible signals and information flowed through his Spiritual Power, enveloping his whole body and Soul and Spirit. In an instant, he realized he had gained another perspective, one that was slowly rising, gently levitating, and unfolding.

In front of An Jing, the black metallic sphere quietly hovered in mid-air, and with a faint sound of mechanical coupling and separation, it unfolded into a disc-shaped platform with a pale blue halo flowing around its edges, where ephemeral Spiritual Patterns swept over the disc’s surface like flowing water.

The next moment, it disappeared from sight.

"Oh! Impressive!"

At this moment, An Jing could not be oblivious to the fact that this was the operational state of the high-grade drone. With a slight squint, he saw the fluorescent formation patterns coursing through the eyes that resonated with the drone. An Jing instantly understood how to operate it from the manual left in the ’Water Mirror’ in his hands.

Named ’Xi Yin,’ this drone was a high-grade scientific research drone specifically designed by the Xuandu Group for exploring hazardous areas. It boasted nine Art of Magic-level abilities, including "Silent and Invisible Form," "Impervious to Water and Fire," "Strength and Softness Combined," "Geomagnetic Levitation," "Melt Form into Evil," "Spirit Field Charging," "Earth Escape Spiritual Method," "Arrow Deflection," and "Shape Transformation." This was a pinnacle-level Magic Artifact drone, just one step away from becoming a Spiritual Artifact.

Its dormant form was a black metallic sphere the size of a human head, easy to carry and extremely light. Once activated, it would transform into a disc-shaped flyer about two and half feet in diameter. Utilizing geomagnetic levitation, it produced no Spiritual Power reaction, avoiding triggering any Spirit Power detection-related Formation responses or Ferocious Beast perceptions.

The "Silent and Invisible Form" ability was not merely about silent and invisible movement; it could also temporarily merge with the Netherworld, allowing it to pass through walls and bodies, overcoming common seals and terrains.

Furthermore, with the Earth Escape technique, it could also traverse through about a thousand feet of the ground in a short time.

Beyond this, it was extremely tough. Swords and blunt instruments would generally cause little damage. Its only weakness was divine light arts and sharp thrusting attacks, which could penetrate its internal structures. However, as long as the main core remained intact, it could still be activated.

Ordinary water, fire, and Evil Qi could not damage its high-strength composite Spiritual Gold shell, and some Gold Fiend could even be converted into materials for its self-repair.

"Is this one of the superior Magic Artifacts of the Tianyuan Realm?"

Upon sensing the capabilities of the Xi Yin, An Jing almost gasped in amazement—The Tianyuan Realm truly deserved its reputation as a land of flourishing artifact cultivation, as such Art of Magic Magic Artifacts would be impossible to appear in Embracing the Void. To refine a Magic Artifact to this extent would require more effort than directly using better materials to create a Spiritual Artifact.

Compared with it, all the drones An Jing had ever purchased were like rotten fish and shrimp. Although Xi Yin had no significant combat ability, it was simply invincible in terms of exploration and surveying.

Apart from these nine Arts of Magic, as a survey drone, the Xi Yin was also excellent at its primary job. Just now, An Jing scanned the entire Nian Quan residence and immediately received a three-dimensional structural view of the building’s architecture in the ’Water Mirror.’

If it was deployed for high-altitude surveying...

"Wait, wouldn’t this thing be perfect for mapping Broken Blade Mountain?"

An Jing suddenly froze, struck by inspiration—although his original intention was to use the high-grade drone to explore the Primordial Spirit, it would also be excellent for creating a resource map of Broken Blade Mountain.

Not only that, by controlling Tengshuang White, An Jing could comprehensively survey the Earth Vein maps of the towns surrounding Broken Blade Mountain.

For powerful cultivators, the terrain is clear at a glance and can be changed at will, but for mortal resource development and observing Earth Veins to conceive Great Formation positions, it is an excellent auxiliary tool!

And most importantly, drones are very useful for small-scale Martial Artist skirmishes. This applies not only to kamikaze drone attacks but also to information coordination advantages. An Jing felt that if he could command a squad of Martial Artists in the future, their standard-issue Magic Artifacts would definitely include drones, in addition to Sword Boxes!

"Drone lock-on, followed by a remote attack from the Sword Box, this is the advanced special forces strike mode of the Tianyuan Realm."

After satisfactorily manipulating the Xi Yin Drone for a while, An Jing carefully stowed it away in the Great Void Magical Instrument.

Next, An Jing opened the Evil-Repelling Clothes.

Contrary to An Jing’s expectation of heavy and cumbersome protective gear similar to a spacesuit, this high-grade Evil-Repelling Clothes, presumably at the same level as Xi Yin, only appeared to be two crystalline discs.

An Jing was initially puzzled but considering that the Tianyuan Realm’s artifact cultivation techniques had reached miraculous heights, he did not express his confusion right away. Instead, he first read the manual.

After perusing the manual, An Jing understood and affixed the two crystalline discs to the sides of the cloak provided. Hanging them over his shoulders—the discs hummed, illuminating a glittering glow, and an invisible field enveloped An Jing’s whole body.

It was not just about Evil Qi; as long as An Jing did not add them to the ’trusted zone,’ within the range of the pristine field, even varying types of Spirit Qi could not sneak into the Spirit Qi he absorbed. In other words, the possibility of multiple non-toxic Yuan Qi blending into extremely toxic Evil Qi to covertly attack An Jing was nullified.

Besides that, it also had a considerable defensive capability, equivalent to two Armor Talismans used simultaneously. It had become standard equipment for elite exploration teams of the Luofu Collective.
