Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 31 Cultivation efficiency increased by 5 times?!

The next day, around dusk.

Today is Boss Meng's payment day.

Zhu Que and Xiao Cai arrived at the Wildfire Shop. After receiving the spirit coins, Boss Meng handed them two spirit artifacts.

"Here are the two second-tier spiritual artifacts you wanted," Boss Meng said casually. "Take a look quickly, I need to return them later."

"OK!"

Zhu Que reached out and took it.

He had already reached the second level of Qi Refining, and his analysis speed had also increased accordingly. He finished analyzing two second-tier spiritual artifacts in just one hour.

The first one is a second-tier spiritual artifact—the Body Tempering Jade Core.

[Jade Core for Body Tempering: Second-tier, mid-grade jade artifact. It can stimulate the vitality of cells throughout the body, eliminate impurities and impurities, and enhance the strength and purity of body tempering.]

[Requirements for counterfeiting: 7 Tier 1 Jade items, 3 Tier 1 Iron items]

The second is a second-tier spiritual artifact—the Tranquil Heart Crown.

[Ningxin Qingguan: Second-tier superior grade, cloth artifact. It can stabilize the mind and eliminate distracting thoughts during cultivation, significantly enhancing the stability of one's Dao heart.]

[Requirements for replicating: 7 Tier 1 Cloth Items, 4 Tier 1 Jade Items]

These two second-tier spiritual artifacts are designed to target the overall physical attributes of the body and the stability of the Dao heart, respectively.

Then.

Zhu Que reported on the progress of replicating other firearms and magical artifacts.

They said they've encountered some bottlenecks at the process level and are trying to find solutions, but didn't mention any details.

He had prepared this explanation long ago.

After dealing with Boss Meng, Zhu Que and Xiao Cai purchased a batch of injectable drugs on the black market.

Although the enhancement effects of these potions are far inferior to those of magical artifacts, and they will gradually lead to drug resistance.

But even a mosquito's leg is meat, and he urgently needs to improve his strength, so he can't let any opportunity slip by.

Moreover, he earns a lot of spirit coins every day now, and he has no need to buy a house or get married.

Money in your hands is just a pile of waste paper, no matter how much you have; it only becomes truly useful when it is transformed into real power.

night.

Intermediate training room.

Zhu Que injected all the medications into his body in sequence.

The medicine took effect quickly; although the improvement was very limited, it was a genuine positive benefit.

They then began to imitate the Tempered Jade Core and the Tranquil Crown.

First is the tempered jade core.

[Successfully replicated!]

[Jade Core: Second-tier, mid-grade jade artifact. It can stimulate the vitality of cells throughout the body, eliminate impurities and filth, and enhance the strength and purity of the body's tempering process.]

[Side effects: Must be used for extended periods; use for less than 24 hours may cause harm to the body.]

Upon seeing the side effects description, Zhu Que paused for a moment.

He has also imitated many magical artifacts and has seen the side effects of "prolonged use being harmful to the body".

However, this was the first time he had ever seen a magical artifact that was "more harmful than beneficial when used for a short period of time".

"How can this thing be used for an extended period of time?"

Zhu Que was somewhat worried.

The jade core is about the size of a fist and is shaped like a curved cylinder. It must be in close contact with the body when used.

Here's the problem—

He had to work at the garbage dump during the day and could only squeeze out time to cultivate at night. Carrying such a spiritual artifact with him would be too conspicuous no matter where he hid it.

Just then.

Zhu Que's heart stirred slightly.

As if remembering something, he reached out and lifted his shirt, revealing his deformed pectus excavatum.

The sternum is sunken inward, and its shape is strange.

"The size seems just right..."

Zhu Que tentatively inserted the Jade Core into his chest.

It was discovered that the jade core could be inserted completely.

Moreover, it fits perfectly, without any gaps or protrusions, as if it were custom-made for him.

Zhu Que was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but retort:

"Holy crap! Tony Stark!"

Despite the complaints, having such a spot to insert the jade core solves the problem of easy exposure.

After the jade core was embedded in his chest.

A continuous force seeped into his flesh through his skin, quietly connecting him to his body.

It was an indescribable feeling, as if I were bound to the Jade Core!

Zhu Que tugged at it slightly, and with just that small movement, a faint pain shot through his chest.

"No wonder it must be used for a long time; forcibly removing it will inevitably cause harm to the body."

Then.

Zhu Que then proceeded to create a second second-tier spiritual artifact.

[Successfully replicated!]

[Concentrating Mind and Purifying Crown: Second-tier, superior grade, cloth artifact. It can stabilize the mind and eliminate distracting thoughts during cultivation, significantly enhancing the stability of one's Dao heart.]

[Side effect: The memory of one hour of continuous use will be automatically cleared for each hour of use.]

"One hour of amnesia?"

This side effect surprised Zhu Que slightly.

At first glance, it seems quite serious.

But upon closer reflection, what was erased was not random memory, but only the memory of the one hour spent using Ningxin Qingguan.

It doesn't seem to have any major impact.

After all, the biggest impact is nothing more than—

You may not remember that you have just practiced, but the improvements you gained from the practice will not be reversed or disappear.

By simply giving yourself a reminder before using it, you can completely avoid the effects of amnesia.

"Wait a minute!"

Looking at the side effects instructions, Zhu Que suddenly thought of something—

Time-Sequence Secret Realm Pod!

"The essence of demonic sound intrusion is to continuously feed and pile up a large amount of meaningless but complex information into the brain."

"Various noises, out-of-order images, fragmented instructions, and confused consciousness... can cause mental disorder, distorted judgment, and mental breakdown."

"What would happen if we erased the one hour of memories disturbed by the demonic sound?"

The moment the thought crossed my mind, I couldn't suppress it any longer.

"Let's test the amnesia side effects tonight, and see if it works on the Time-Sequence Secret Realm Pod tomorrow."

……

The following day, around dusk.

As dusk settled, the streetlights cast a dim, yellowish glow.

After handing over twenty pistols to Wu Qing, Zhu Que couldn't wait to head to the Xilan Research Institute.

At this moment, the research institute still has a considerable number of staff.

The hall was filled with people of the fifth class, most of whom had come to sign up as test subjects in order to earn spirit coins.

As soon as Zhu Que entered the room, Song Wugui spotted him with his sharp eyes.

"Zhu Que! I knew you'd come again!"

Song Wugui greeted him with a smile.

"I'll try the challenge again today."

Zhu Que nodded slightly.

After queuing for more than half an hour, he entered the Time Sequence Pod with four other people.

As soon as he entered, Zhu Que took out the paper and pen he had prepared beforehand and wrote down a short note—

"Zhu Que, as I write this, you have been in the Time Realm pod for less than a minute."

"You will use the Mind-Clearing Crown and suffer amnesia after one hour. This will test your ability to resist the demonic sound."

"If there are no abnormalities, please continue the test for another hour."

Then.

Zhu Que held the note in his palm, took out the Concentrating Heart Clarity Crown, put it on, and entered a state of focused cultivation.

He is currently in a state of "fully armed" training.

Before coming here, he had prepared everything, simultaneously activating five pirated second-tier spiritual artifacts throughout his body—

Gathering Spirit Cloth, Glass Heart, Extraordinary Hard Golden Needle, Jade Core, Heart-Concentrating and Purifying Crown.

In addition, there is a high-grade Xuan-level artificial spiritual root, and the spiritual energy environment in the void space is so rich that it is comparable to that of an intermediate-level cultivation room.

This was the stage of his cultivation where he improved the most.

Zhu Que sat cross-legged, embracing the primordial essence and guarding the One.

As one breathes in and circulates spiritual energy, the irritating and unsettling seductive demonic sound arrives as expected.

A large amount of fragmented, chaotic, and illogical demonic audio information was forcibly poured into his brain.

The last time he entered the Time Realm Chamber, although he lasted for seventy-five minutes, he experienced severe discomfort after sixty minutes.

This time.

After Zhu Que persisted for an hour and crossed the amnesia threshold, Ningxin Qingguan suddenly trembled.

In an instant.

A surge of power erupted from the Concentrated Heart and Clear Crown, sweeping out like a burst dam, erasing all his memories, feelings, and pain from the past hour.

"call!"

Zhu Que opened his eyes, a hint of confusion in them.

His memory stopped at the moment he entered the Time Realm pod.

"Next... first, write down the hints with pen and paper."

Just as Zhu Que was about to grab a pen and paper, he suddenly saw a folded piece of paper in his palm.

Upon opening it, a few lines of text came into view, and his confusion immediately dissipated.

"So I've been cultivating for an hour already."

Zhu Que looked around and found that the other four volunteer test subjects had all withdrawn at some point.

He checked his own condition and found that he was mentally stable, in good condition, and had no complicated information in his mind.

It was as if they had never been bothered by the demonic sound.

"It really works!"

Zhu Que was overjoyed.

At first, it was just a sudden inspiration that flashed through his mind.

Unexpectedly, the negative effects of the bewitching voice could actually be completely eliminated by erasing memories.

"In this way, this Time-Sequence Secret Realm pod is a true divine-level cultivation artifact for me!"

Zhu Que looked around.

Having solved the problem of the demonic sound interference, cultivating here for one night is equivalent to cultivating outside for five nights.

That's equivalent to a five-fold increase in cultivation efficiency!
