‘Her singing really works.’
Wang Jixuan vaguely saw the figure in front of him, and this thought flashed through his mind.
In situations like this, especially when one's own consciousness is blurred and the demonic energy is too massive, it's not possible to directly purify it with Buddhism.
Because Buddhist teachings could easily purify his Yuan Soul along with it.
What's needed here is a process of harmonizing and suppressing the demonic energy.
He had a flash of inspiration at the time, thinking of the unique power contained in . Gao Huating's singing, and Gao Huating had shown some unusual signs recently, so he wanted to try and see if it would help.
Unexpectedly…
The effect was very good!
Accompanied by the gentle singing, Wang Jixuan seemed to see a peaceful and magnificent world.
He saw fairies frolicking in the sky, and exotic flowers and herbs everywhere. Strands of spiritual energy, like the soft hands of fairies, gently caressed every corner of his Dao body.
How incredibly comfortable!
Even the demonic energy surging within Wang Jixuan's body gradually became docile, lining up to await the slow purification of the Soul-Suppressing Song.
At this time, if Ji Xiao or Wu Man were reciting Buddhist scriptures nearby, the purification of the demonic energy would be even faster.
But when Wang Jixuan tried to transmit his voice with his spiritual sense, he found the Buddhist Hall squad sitting and lying in the hospital corridor, their faces full of fatigue…
‘Forget it, let them rest.’
Judging from the current situation, Gao Huating's stamina is still good, and singing for a few hours shouldn't be a problem.
Wang Jixuan carefully studied the flow of spiritual energy around Gao Huating.
He couldn't understand it; it was both simple and mysterious.
It was a bit like some kind of unique power she was born with, as if her soul was born with the ability to resonate with spiritual energy.
Is it related to spiritual cultivators?
Or is she the legendary cultivation genius?
If she really is a genius… should I take her into our Wangxian Valley…
Wang Jixuan hesitated inwardly.
He didn't want to take disciples, because in his opinion, the karma of a master-disciple relationship was greater than that of a Daoist couple.
As for Daoist couples, everyone gathers in the mortal world for a joyous time, warming each other with the emotions that sprout in their hearts, living together, and entwining at night, experiencing the fundamental desires of humanity, seeking a tempering of the heart in the mortal world.
But the master-disciple relationship is heavier.
For disciples who cultivate in the mountain gate, entering the mountain and apprenticing is like having new parents;
If one ends up with an unreliable master, it's even more fatal than ending up with a pair of unreliable parents.
Especially since Wang Jixuan had never had a disciple before. He had only once guided a few old cultivators in the sect who were six or seven hundred years old.
If he were to take a disciple, it would be his first direct disciple… bah! Founding disciple!
That weight would be even heavier.
Wang Jixuan preferred to cultivate Wu Man into his chief disciple in the future, but Wu Man was more suited to Buddhist cultivation methods, and his Dao body's integrity had already been destroyed by the infusion ritual.
If Gao Huating really was a cultivation genius, then she was still a piece of unpolished jade at the moment.
‘Forget it.’
Wang Jixuan made up his mind.
If Gao Huating really was a one-in-a-million cultivation genius, and perfectly matched their Wangxian Valley's 《Azure Ripple Manual》, then Wang Jixuan, this inner elder, would examine her character and observe her disposition, and after he stepped into the Nascent Soul Realm, he would take her as a disciple of Wangxian Valley. — The Daoist priest ultimately set strict prerequisites.
Those were all matters for the distant future.
A feeling of fatigue washed over him, and Wang Jixuan fell asleep again.
Perhaps it was the power in Gao Huating's song that could calm people's hearts, giving Wang Jixuan a sense of security.
He slept very deeply this time, waking up only after six or seven hours.
When he woke up, most of the demonic energy in his body had been purified.
Gao Huating, who had just stopped singing, was already drowsily asleep in the corner chair, her lips a little chapped, with a bottle of water with only a small sip left beside her hand.
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense swept across the area, and the Peak Maid Corps and the Buddhist Hall squad had been transferred away. Only Peony and Black Shell remained in this base for the time being.
Most likely, the front-line battle had not yet subsided, and a major battle had broken out somewhere again.
‘This world is really not peaceful.’
“Sir…”
Peony peeked in from the door, and Wang Jixuan raised his hand to make a gesture.
She understood, tiptoed in, picked up Gao Huating horizontally, placed her on the folding bed in the corner, and turned on the nearby diffused oxygen generator.
Peony rummaged in the apron pocket of her maid outfit and found two earplugs, carefully putting them on Gao Huating.
Gao Huating smacked her lips, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Afterwards, Peony pulled up the curtain on the side of the bed, and walked to Wang Jixuan's side with grace, virtue, and elegance, helping Wang Jixuan to sit up.
“Sir, would you like some nutrition?”
“Not for now, first help me meditate, I can't move my hands and feet because they are sore and numb.”
Peony immediately took action, gently adjusting Wang Jixuan's posture.
She was obviously in a good mood, joking: “Our actions are too intimate, aren't they? If Commander Lingtong suddenly breaks in, I don't know how to explain it.”
Wang Jixuan retorted: “Is there something wrong with your core program?”
“No, Peony's self-check is particularly healthy.”
“Then why are you spouting nonsense for no reason lately!”
Wang Jixuan glared at the maid, realizing that his voice was too loud, turned his head to look at the corner, and lowered his voice:
“Quickly report the situation, you are a bit unprofessional now.”
“Peony just wants the commander to rest fully. There are no major problems now. They are taking the initiative to attack, wanting to eliminate one or two more King-level Blade Beasts…”
Peony pouted aggrievedly, and then switched to work mode, quickly reporting:
“The King-level Evangelist has been confirmed dead, and the Beast Speaker has been beheaded.”
“Commander Lingtong's battle footage has been made into a short film, and is being promoted internally and externally to show the magical effects of the Seven-Star Sword Formation.”
“She is the most valiant in the Semi-Human Mecha Group, with a combat contribution of twenty-four percent. Shenhai, who is second, has seventeen percent, completely overshadowed by Commander Lingtong.”
“Chishe's condition has stabilized. Her self-healing ability is very strong, and she can recover without fatal injuries.”
“The occupied fortress has been recovered. The loss of population will take time to make up for. The fortress has been planned as an autonomous mechanical fully automated production base. The commander-in-chief and the D5 theater have shown subtle changes in their attitude towards autonomous machinery.”
“In addition, within half a day after we shattered the pseudo-interstellar gate, two King-level Blade Beasts were beheaded.”
“You should remember that three King-level Blade Beasts were previously rushing madly towards the pseudo-interstellar gate, and for this reason, they abandoned their Blade Beast clans, giving us an opportunity.”
“Overall, if Peony were to evaluate, your contribution to the overall battle exceeds thirty percent, making you an indispensable key figure.”
“However, the theater did not publicize you, only briefly mentioning the four words Black Storm.”
Peony said somewhat unhappily.
Wang Jixuan smiled without saying a word, his mana had recovered to circulate throughout his body, and he began to effectively suppress those ‘demonic energies that had lost most of their ferocity’.
The gold content of . is still rising.
“What about Wu Man and the others?”
“They went to the front line to support, replacing the tired Semi-Human Mecha Group, and are temporarily responsible for guarding the border. They can come back at any time.”
Wang Jixuan asked: “What are our casualties?”
“Civilian casualties are heavy, resource consumption is high, soldier casualties are better than expected, and mechanical losses are better than expected.”
Peony tilted her head slightly, she was intercepting some files in the command system.
In just one or two seconds, she had already discovered a lot of information that Wang Jixuan might be interested in.
“The commander-in-chief will convene a full theater conference in a week, but for now, only the Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, and Fifth theater have responded, and the First, Second, and Third old theaters are still silent.”
“Full theater conference?”
“That is, inviting the commander-in-chief and major military leaders of each major theater to meet together.”
Wang Jixuan closed his eyes and responded, probably guessing what Fu Jian was going to do.
Crane Yuan Pills and the Seven-Star Sword Formation.
D5 is a pioneer in semi-human mecha technology. Each theater has semi-human mecha units and terrifying mechas. The Seven-Star Sword Formation can more effectively utilize these resources, and the Crane Yuan Pills can save a batch of meritorious old semi-human mechas on the verge of death.
These are the bargaining chips that D5 now holds.
Only by uniting the theaters can we resist the Blade Beasts and defeat the Spirit Energy Capital.
“What's wrong with the first three theaters.”
“Sir, Xingdian's lair is in D2唷~”
“Sure enough, there's something wrong with everyone.”
Wang Jixuan sneered.
He was originally promoting the counterattack plan, accumulating strength, improving strength, pulling up the team, rectifying the environment, and then destroying Xingdian.
Although the Beast Speaker suddenly jumped out and cut in line at the soul-scattering ceremony, Wang Jixuan's plan has now returned to the right track.
Xingdian, this insidious and cunning person, must be annihilated as soon as possible.
Wang Jixuan asked: “Is there any news from Auntie?”
“Yes, Auntie just sent a message two hours ago, reporting safety and asking what happened here.”
Peony chuckled:
“Then I said that you killed an existence above a King-level Blade Beast and destroyed their interstellar gate.”
“Presumably, Auntie should be very shocked now.”
Wang Jixuan's old face turned red: “Is bragging also your humor system subsystem?”
“No, this is a new ability born from Peony's spirit body!”
“Then be realistic,” Wang Jixuan reprimanded her, “Go, bring me two of the stones we seized, I have already remotely marked them.”
“Okay, sir,” Peony smiled like a spring breeze.
She would not be angry with the commander.
…
Wang Jixuan quickly obtained two durian-sized fragments of the gate.
His Dao heart could not help but be a little excited.
Indeed, these are treasures!
When the Blade Beasts used these materials, they simply piled them together and stuck them with a glue-like substance. Once the substance cooled and hardened, it possessed extremely high strength.
There was no refining, extracting, or tempering involved!
The good news is that these treasures retain their own spirituality.
The even better news is that they are all "Blade Beast Selected" products, with an authentic level of purity.
The best news of all is that these treasures have been endowed with Qiankun characteristics by the pseudo-interstellar gate!
The two pieces that Wang Jixuan had Mudan bring over can both be used as the main materials for refining storage treasures, and the quality of the refined storage treasures will inevitably be high!
Of course, there are two sides to every coin, and not all the news is good right now.
The only bad news is... that the materials are too good. Wang Jixuan's magic power is not high enough yet. He hasn't even completed the Foundation Establishment stage, so he can only use formations to assist in refining, which will likely cause some waste.
This made Daoist Wang a little conflicted.
However, he quickly made up his mind.
Waste is acceptable.
Strength in hand is more important than anything!
Wang Jixuan made a plan to use one-twentieth of these treasures to improve his strength in the current stage, refining a melee weapon (suitable for prolonged battles), a new flying sword (the quality will definitely exceed the previous one), and two storage treasures (to store orthodox and evil demonic items separately).
In this way, he would have some capital to establish himself.
Once his realm enters the Golden Core stage and he can unleash the true power of these treasures, he can also make appropriate upgrades.
'I almost forgot that I had previously made promises. I still need to let these officials see some benefits.'
'Well, then two melee weapons... or three, let Old Fu and Black Shell each have a large saber... I can't forget about my own Ling Tong either. We've even kissed, so I should give her some benefits... Four?'
Wang Jixuan became even more conflicted.
It's not that he's afraid of wasting materials, but mainly because he feels that for them, without being able to use magic power, they can only rely on the sharpness of the magic weapon, and their own combat power won't increase too much.
But he quickly came up with a solution: refine two melee weapons of the highest quality that can be refined at the current stage, one for Fu Jian and one for his own use.
Then refine three or four magic weapon-level melee weapons of mixed materials, using the best steel where it's needed, and give them to Black Shell, Ling Tong, and Deep Sea.
As for Wu Man and Old Zheng... they can only wait until later.
Once Wang Jixuan made up his mind, he put the matter behind him and focused on adjusting his breath and soothing his Yuan Soul.
He originally thought that this time would be very difficult, but after Gao Huating's continuous six or seven hours of 'music therapy,' he felt as if he had only suffered a minor injury. The demonic energy was purified without any obstacles, and the bit of cultivation he had lost could be easily recovered in three to five days.
'What exactly is her situation?'
Wang Jixuan decided to try to deceive her later and try to find out the origin of her strange ability.
Mudan asked softly from the side: "Sir, I have a small suggestion."
"What is it?"
"You can give me some small samples of these stones, and I'll help you search the resource library in human territory. Maybe there will be similar ores."
"Take them and do it."
Wang Jixuan waved his hand freely and weakly:
"Don't worry too much about my side. Thanks to this songstress, I'm mostly fine."
Mudan picked up the two stones, winked at Wang Jixuan: "Then once Mudan leaves, you'll be alone in a room with this single, marriageable woman."
Wang Jixuan automatically ignored her teasing.
After this guy got a spirit body, the program restrictions gradually became ineffective.
He must find a way to counter-kill her a few times to let her know the power of cultivators.
Wang Jixuan instructed: "If Wu Man doesn't have any battles, let him come to my side as soon as possible. With his help, I can recover faster. Gao Huating's ability is more focused on conditioning."
"Yes, calling now."
"Also," Wang Jixuan said, "When the commander-in-chief is free, have him come over here in person. I have some information that needs to be communicated to him face to face."
"The commander-in-chief is already on his way and will arrive at this military fortress in half an hour."
Wang Jixuan nodded, closed his eyes and concentrated, and said no more.
He actually felt a sense of urgency.
After he directly negotiated with Jialinuo, it meant that the Blade Beasts had grasped his exact information and knew that he was not a student of spiritual cultivators.
The consequences of this matter are unpredictable.
Although he had tried his best to deceive the other party and make them mistakenly believe that he had a large force behind him.
At the same time.
About two thousand kilometers away from Wang Jixuan, on a cliff above the ground, a preacher stood under a tree, carrying a pair of mesopods on its back like a human, and thick overlapping wings fell behind it like a cloak.
A wrinkled face condensed on the membrane in front of its mouthparts, staring at the approximate direction of Wang Jixuan, constantly murmuring in a human voice.
"The Way of Heaven..."
"The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Deduction is forty-nine..."
