Chapter 329: Chapter 165: The First Time... Furnace Explosion_2

Shaman shrugged, "I actually quite like being with kids, and if I had a choice, I’d want to be a childcare teacher too."

"The environment here is simply amazing!"

Tree Man Beta remarked:

"I understand why the fortress’s warriors have such strong battle spirits. They are guarding something worth protecting."

"Spiritual Ability City is lacking a lot in this aspect. Before we become Spiritual Ability Users, most of us are just trying to survive in the slums.

"It’s very cold there, and although food isn’t scarce, it’s incredibly difficult to get an extra bite, and you might even break the law. Inside the fortress, they distribute based on a quota with some flexibility, which is great."

"If we want to stand out or live with dignity, we have no choice but to risk our lives in the infusion ceremony."

Shaman asked opportunistically, "Miss Mu Dan, what about you? Did you grow up here too?"

Mu Dan thought for a moment, two slender hands clad in white gauze gloves reached up to her head, and with a gentle tug...

Her head came off!

Shaman and Tree Man Beta’s eyes almost popped out, and the former’s Spiritual Energy began to fluctuate violently.

With a smile, Mu Dan reattached her head, gently shook it, and the synthetic skin on her neck restored itself to a fair and translucent state with no cracks to be seen.

"I am a Mechanical Body, the loyal aide to my superior officer. I am by his side even when he’s sleeping."

Beta frowned deeply, "That explains it... No wonder there are rumors in Spiritual Ability City that Fu Jian possesses a formidable power he hasn’t revealed, supposedly a robot army. So it’s true!"

What Shaman cared about was, "Err, you accompany him even when he’s sleeping?"

"Yes, indeed," Mu Dan blinked gently, "Our superior officer has a lot of energy."

Shaman raised her hand to her forehead, "Are all fort people so open? I thought...never mind, never mind, it doesn’t count as love with a Mechanical Body, right?"

Mu Dan’s smile did not waver.

She was doing it on purpose.

Uncle Tai’s studio was just ahead, and after connecting to the surveillance inside, Mu Dan said proactively, "The chief isn’t finished dining with his girlfriend yet, we’ll have to wait a little."

Two small lightning bolts symbolically appeared behind Shaman’s head.

"Black Storm really has a girlfriend? Wasn’t it just a rumor?"

"Yes, indeed, you’ll meet her later."

Shaman covered her forehead with her hand, "So he’s still with you...err, sorry, did human civilization update its ethical views but forget to inform me, right?"

"The chief sits on the bed, and I kneel in the corner," Mu Dan said with a pitiful tone, "That’s how I accompany him."

Shaman breathed a sigh of relief.

That was good, she thought her idol’s life had collapsed so quickly.

Beta pointed at the building nearby and asked, "What’s this Little Electronic Sound Temple for?"

"This is the highest secret military area of D5, you can’t just look at it."

Beta hurriedly turned around while Shaman gazed around curiously.

More than ten minutes later, Beta and Shaman were led into the studio, where they met Master Wong, who had just finished lunch with Lingtong.

This was their first time seeing Wang Jixuan’s true face.

However, Shaman’s attention was entirely captured by the Mechanical Girl wearing tight jeans and a white shirt beside him; she observed Lingtong’s figure and face, immersing herself in the unique beauty that came from the perfect combination of mechanical and human bodies, and sighed inwardly, dismissing some of her fleeting thoughts.

"Please sit over here,"

Wang Jixuan invited with a smile:

"Dragonfly Lady and Mane Bear have safely escaped into D3, they need to lie low for a while, and we’re making a show of pretending to chase them down here.

"In Spiritual Ability City, the Dominion Faction and Nature Faction are competing in the shadows, and Dragonfly Lady has become a key person.

"So, in the short term, there’s no hope for you two to return. Relax and take a vacation here."

Wan Xiaoqi brought over chilled drinks, and Ms. Wan served up sliced fruit.

Wang Jixuan seated Beta and Shaman, while Lingtong sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Wang Jixuan.

Lingtong said softly, "The main reason we asked you two here today is to ask for your help with something."

Tree Man Beta immediately nodded, "I am willing to contribute to human civilization!"

"What exactly is it?"

Shaman asked cautiously,

"Personal relationships aside, we have our concerns. Our families are in Spiritual Ability City."

Wang Jixuan got straight to the point, "Two things. The first thing is good for both of you. Dragonfly Lady asked me to help you remove your self-destruct chips and then create fake death certificates. Do you agree to this?"

"Agreed!" Shaman and Beta said in unison.

As long as there isn’t a knife to their necks, no Spiritual Ability Users would refuse this offer.

Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile and continued,

"The second matter is that we would like to ask the two of you to introduce the operation model of the Spirit Management Committee to D5 battle zone’s top generals, through a video call. Don’t worry, it will only be for more than a dozen top-ranking generals,"

"Our understanding of the Spirit Management Committee is very one-sided, as you are actual members of its subsidiary organizations."

Tree Man Beta and Shaman exchanged a glance.

Shaman pursed her lips, Tree Man Beta raised his hand and said, "I’ll do it. I can. I no longer have any family members to worry about. As long as my captain and teammates are safe, that’s fine."

Shaman touched her forehead with a finger, "Don’t make people misunderstand that we have an ambiguous relationship, you fool! I can do it too, but can you give me some bandages? I’ll disguise myself to look like I’ve been interrogated."

"Sure," Lingtong said, "Xiao Qi can help you with the makeup."

"Let’s not delay, I have class in the afternoon, make it quick."

"Class?" Beta didn’t understand.

Wang Jixuan half-joked and half-seriously said, "Are you also interested? You can also observe this afternoon, but once you’ve seen this content, you’ll be one of my people from now on."

"Then forget it," Beta shook his head honestly, "I still prefer to follow my captain, although it’s pretty good here too."

The loyal Tree of Kindness!

Master Wang was almost moved.

Lingtong was in charge of setting up this video call, so Wang Jixuan didn’t need to concern himself too much.

The Daoist took some samples, and while Beta was getting his ’battle damage makeup’ done, he used Beta’s hair to culture a bit and prepared two sets of alchemy materials.

Let’s try refining an elixir that boosts Qi first!

He brought the Alloy Pill Furnace made at Ms. Wan’s request—with a height of thirty centimeters and basic Pill Furnace structure, the lower half for fire intake, and its belly carved with intricate patterns.

Wang Jixuan, naturally, had done Alchemy before;

this kind of basic elixir didn’t contain much technical sophistication.

He found a corner to meditate facing the wall, took out the prepared Spirit Releasing Array Plate, and placed it under the furnace, starting to release Spiritual Energy.

First warm the furnace, then raise the medicine, melt the clouds, and finally solidify the pill.

He flicked his sword finger, the lid of the Pill Furnace opened on its own, and several Spiritual Medicines flew into the furnace.

Wang Jixuan made gestures in the air, and a ’Warm Fire Prohibition’ was temporarily inscribed outside the furnace, gradually increasing the temperature inside, while the exterior temperature remained unchanged.

The Spiritual Medicine slowly melted into fine black sand.

Streams of abundant Spiritual Energy converged, wrapping around the medicine under Wang Jixuan’s guidance, forming medicinal clouds.

Next was turning the medicinal clouds into pills.

After a while, the medicinal clouds began to tremble continuously, with flashes of light inside; following the movements of Wang Jixuan’s sword finger, like the dust of stars in the cosmos coming together, slowly forming three pills.

A faint smile appeared on Wang Jixuan’s lips.

Though the conditions were crude, his skills could make up for it. Later, all that was needed was to spend time making a real Pill Furnace, then it would be possible to mass-produce such pills...

Hmm?

Ding ding ding!

The Alloy Pill Furnace suddenly began to tremble violently, the medicinal clouds inside fiercely condensing!

Boom!

A small black cloud rose in the corner of the workshop, and a fragrance of plants filled the air.

In another corner conducting a military conference call, Shaman, Tree Man Beta, and those standing nearby like Lingtong, all stared in astonishment at this scene.

Wang Jixuan jumped to his feet, his face blackened, but he grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.

"I’m fine! Uh, carry on, there’s just been a slight mishap with the experiment! I’m going to change clothes!"

Wang Jixuan turned and ran, leaving everyone else looking at each other in confusion.

’Well done, actually exploded the furnace?’

’Can’t skimp on a Pill Furnace; it wasn’t a mistake in the process. On the contrary, there was hope for producing low-level Spiritual elixirs. The flow of Spiritual Energy was too rapid, but the furnace couldn’t contain it.’

’Hmm, this doesn’t count. Let’s try again next time!’

Master Wang quickly rallied.

However, before starting the alchemy formally, he still needed to resolve the issue with the Spirit Cultivator’s Stone Plate.

Director Chen was already starting to suffer from severe insomnia, and if it dragged on for a few more days, the old professor’s heart might have problems.

Better to start refining the Array Base first; this was his comfort zone after all.

...

Two days later, in the evening,

in the third-floor warehouse of the Fortress, over a hundred autonomous Mechanical Guards stood ready.

Wang Jixuan directed Mu Dan to place the eighteen Array Bases, turned his head to glance back at Fu Jian, Chen Wuchou, and Zheng Shiduo, signaling Zheng Shiduo to prepare.

Then, Wang Jixuan held his breath, took out dozens of talismans hovering around him, his Spiritual Sense condensed into a sharp cone, and thrust it towards the center of the reassembled stone wall!
