Chapter 406: Chapter 195: Startled No.4 Spirit Cultivator

The assembly of the stone plate wall was still led by Mu Dan and the Mechanical Guards, with Wang Jixuan, Fu Jian, and Zheng Shiduo setting up tables and chairs in the corner, and preparing some BBQ and beer while leisurely waiting.

Zheng Shiduo was in the know about this matter and had been called over to help.

When Zheng Shiduo tasted the dried squid grilled personally by General Fu Jian, the former front-line warrior and Spiritual Ability User became so excited that his eyes reddened.

There was a sentimental side to Zheng Shiduo.

It’s just...

Wang Jixuan asked, "That pill, did you really take it?"

"Yeah, I took it," Lao Zheng muttered somewhat guiltily, "After taking it, I felt a warmness all over, and then... there was no after that."

Wang Jixuan asked, "Did you have any other reactions?"

"Reactions, well," Zheng Shiduo said somewhat embarrassed, whispering, "That night, I spent the entire evening using ’thorns entwining’ skill, turned the electric voltage way up, and in the end got knocked out by the shock."

Fu Jian asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Nothing much," Zheng Shiduo hastily said, "Just some technical exchange."

Wang Jixuan angrily said, "Who is exchanging that skill with you! I’m asking about that Elixir!"

"What’s that pill for?"

"It’s nothing," Master Wang continued to focus on skewering meat, "Anyway, I’ll be doing alchemy these few days, I’ll save you some scraps."

The three turned their heads to look at the wall that had already been assembled in front.

The wall showed no fluctuations, looking like an ordinary piece of art.

Fu Jian asked, "How do we activate it?"

"He was probably scared by me last time," Wang Jixuan said with a light smile, "Should I step aside for a moment?"

Fu Jian said, "No stepping aside, to prevent you from misunderstanding that we have made some unspeakable agreement with the Spirit Cultivators."

Zheng Shiduo, eager to help at the side, opened two new bottles of beer, softly expressing his opinion, "What about Professor Shen Qionglin, isn’t she a leading expert in researching Spirit Cultivation Civilization? Why don’t we have her give it a try?"

Wang Jixuan looked at Fu Jian.

Fu Jian had previously explicitly refused to let Shen Qionglin touch this thing.

After careful consideration, Fu Jian, looking down as he fiddled with the skewers, spoke softly, "After observing for a while, do you trust her now?"

"I mostly trust her," Wang Jixuan said, "Plus, she’s been a lot of help recently."

"Alright," Fu Jian tapped his finger a few times in the air, "She can get here in three minutes."

"Drink."

Wang Jixuan, holding his bottle, clinked it with Zheng Shiduo’s, and seamlessly began discussing with Fu Jian about the upcoming troop deployment and battle planning.

The sudden ’revival’ of the high-end combat strength allowed the D5 Combined Combat Zone to have the power to expand its territory externally.

Fu Jian had always been very cautious about counterattacking, considering the consequences of the Blade Beasts’ counterattacks and whether they could truly hold onto those territories.

However, this time, the operation plan set by Fu Jian was quite bold; they aimed to connect the land transport route between D5 and D7 and seize several key mining resource points.

Wang Jixuan asked, "How much has the Ninth Pillar awakened?"

Zheng Shiduo swallowed a bite of synthetic meat; the information he was hearing here seemed too explosive.

"28%, and still trending towards awakening."

Fu Jian sighed quietly:

"We don’t have the power to confront a Pillar Level Blade Beast head-on.

"In the past, I oversaw the development of the top-class Horror Mecha, but there were very clear technological limitations.

"Shen Qionglin’s research on the Spiritual Ability Mecha path might actually be the key to breaking through those limitations. I had them take the prototype Shen Qionglin developed and conduct a theoretical feasibility assessment."

Daoist Wang was the perfect straight man, "How did it turn out?"

"The technological development prospects are very promising, but it’s not quite mature at this stage."

Fu Jian looked towards Mu Dan and the Maid Group, who were on guard near the Stone Plate, muttering quietly:

"Once the technological development path is determined, we will have to invest a lot of resources.

"We don’t have that many resources to begin with.

"At the current stage, the upper limit of mechanical technology has yet to be reached; to continue persevering on this path is the most cost-effective strategy.

"I’ll think about it some more."

Wang Jixuan smiled silently.

As they had only been talking for about two and a half minutes, Shen Qionglin had already appeared outside the warehouse door, undergoing a full body search by the mechanical female soldiers.

When Shen Qionglin entered the warehouse and saw the setup in the corner, as well as that stone wall.

Her expression visibly changed, staring at the wall for a long time without moving her gaze, a few touches of excitement flickering in her eyes.

Spirit Cultivators!

A complete Spirit Cultivator heritage wall!

Up until then, Shen Qionglin had almost only had access to second-hand information, various details transcribed by the Six Elders.

This was her first time directly encountering a Spirit Cultivator.

However, Shen Qionglin was very good at controlling her emotions; she didn’t rush over but instead walked to the BBQ stand in the corner and nodded lightly at everyone.

"What do you need me to do?" she asked.

Fu Jian signaled for Wang Jixuan to speak.

Daoist Wang briefly explained their previous contact with No.4 Spirit Cultivator.

When Shen Qionglin heard what Wang Jixuan had lightly mentioned:

"Last time I used a little trick that might have scared the Spirit Cultivator."

"You, scared a Spirit Cultivator?"

Shen Qionglin gave a wry smile:

"I always feel, one of us is joking.

"Spirit Cultivation Civilization is an Advanced Civilization, and while you are indeed miraculous, and for the time being I have no way to fully understand your usage of Spiritual Energy, I find it hard to believe that you could make a powerful Spirit Cultivator who claims to be a God fear you."

"Then surely I am not the one joking."

Wang Jixuan put down his beer bottle and said seriously:

"First, Spirit Cultivators are not gods.

"Secondly, when the six Spirit Cultivators came to this planet, they were all in a severely injured state.

"The Beast Speaker communicated with me briefly — the kind of communication where he shoots a message at me, throwing harsh words my way — he revealed that the Blade Beasts came to this planet pursuing these six Spirit Cultivators."
