I can find treasures in my dreams.

ten minutes later.

Inside a laboratory within the base.

Zhuang Jun put on a strange set of black armor.

This thing has a name—Lingbao Robe.

The Lingbao Robe is woven from a large number of black jade pieces the size of a fingertip, numbering no less than a thousand, with each piece engraved with exquisite patterns.

A dark red metal wire, about the diameter of a hair, is inserted into jade pieces and connected to form a suit of armor.

If you magnify the metal wire, you can see that it is engraved with dense patterns using a "relief" technique, which shows how superb the engraving skills are.

This magical robe contains thirty metal wires, each of which needs to be engraved with patterns—an absolutely astonishing amount of work.

A group of researchers in white lab coats stood nearby, all staring intently at Zhuang Jun.

One of the men in the white coat with messy hair asked, "Colonel Zhuang, how are you feeling?"

Zhuang Jun closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, his tone filled with amazement: "Director He, the Lingbao Robe is truly amazing. I feel that my mental activity level has increased by at least ten times, and I can even faintly sense the supernatural power in a free state."

He rambled on, saying, "I broke through the first barrier two months ago, and my mental value also exceeded 100 points."

"I used to pride myself on my strong mental power, but compared to when I was wearing the Spirit Treasure Robe, I felt like my mental power was like a stagnant pool."

The white coat with messy hair, which belonged to Director He, said with a smile: "Every piece of 'Black Jade' on the surface of the Spirit Treasure Robe, although it is only a first-class rare material, is a top-quality material that has been carefully selected and can significantly improve mental activity."

"The metal wires connecting the black jade pieces are precious secondary-grade exotic materials called 'Source Spirit Wires,' which can integrate the black jade into a whole."

"The combination of the two can increase mental activity by another order of magnitude, which is why you feel that your mental energy is highly active."

Zhuang Jun nodded.

He naturally knew that both the Black Jade and the Source Spirit Silk were the Ghost Boss's gains in the Xuanjia World.

Director He then changed the subject: "In order to process dozens of sets of spirit treasure clothes that are compatible with the Juntian Spirit Treasure Eye, our entire research institute worked day and night for two whole months, mobilizing more than 10,000 people in total."

"Don't be fooled by how simple each piece of black jade looks. The patterns carved on the surface of the jade are actually very particular, and even the slightest difference will not do."

"After the jade pieces are carved, they still need to go through dozens of processing steps to ensure that the transparency of the supernatural abilities meets the standards. The research institute processed at least 20 jade pieces before selecting enough materials..."

Zhuang Jun was speechless with astonishment.

From Director He's introduction, he understood one thing: a civilized project like the Juntian Lingbao Eye requires far more manpower and resources than one could imagine.

Looking across the entire planet Canglan, only a superpower like Great Xia could complete such a massive project.

Zhuang Jun asked a question: "By the way, was the technology for building the Juntian Spiritual Treasure Eye obtained from the Iron Fist Civilization?"

In his view, the Iron Fist civilization has existed for more than half a century and has had more exchanges with other civilizations, so it should possess such technology.

however.

The answer was surprising.

Director He laughed, his words laced with disdain for the Iron Fist Civilization: "The Iron Fist people are just a bunch of roughnecks, how could they possibly have such amazing skills?"

The director paused for a moment before giving the answer: "Mr. Lingya obtained a similar secret technique from other channels, and studied it with Mr. Youling for more than a year. They also convened more than a dozen research institutes to issue research and development tasks, and finally developed the complete technology of the Juntian Lingbao Eye."

He said with a proud look on his face, "This is a civilization-level technology unique to the Canglan people."

"According to Boss Lingya, dealing with mid-level knights is no problem at all, but even high-level knights should be careful!"

Zhuang Jun was slightly dazed.

So our Azure Civilization has become this powerful?

Director He then made a gesture: "Colonel Zhuang, since there are no problems, let's go to the Spirit Treasure Eye to start the experiment."

Zhuang Jun replied, "Okay!"

Not long after.

The group rode in an electric commuter vehicle through a five-kilometer-long tunnel and entered a fairly large underground space.

This is a cubic space, with all dimensions exceeding 500 meters.

Zhuang Jun looked up and was immediately shocked.

Because every corner of the walls, floors, and ceilings is inlaid with countless round black jade pieces.

Thousands of silk threads hung down from the ceiling, each thread holding at least two hundred pieces of black jade.

Even a cursory glance is enough to tell that the Black Jade probably costs more than a million pieces.

This is just one of the many eyes.

As Director He previously mentioned, the Juntian Lingbao Eye comprises twenty-eight separate eyes, which would consume a great deal of Black Jade.

Although Black Jade is only a first-grade rare material, the sum of so many first-grade rare materials is still an astronomical fortune.

Zhuang Jun asked with a look of astonishment, "How much Black Jade did the Ghost Boss obtain from the Xuanjia World?"

Director He simply shook his head: "I don't know."

In fact, the researchers had discussed this more than once, but no one could give a clear answer.

After entering Lingbao Eye, the commuter bus continued along the road left in the middle and soon arrived at a high platform in the very center.

The platform is quadrilateral, with twenty steps leading to the top, where a single bed is placed.

Zhuang Jun glanced at the bed and asked, "Is this where I'm lying?"

He had imagined sitting in a chair like in a science fiction movie, but the reality was completely different from his imagination.

Lying down is obviously much more comfortable than sitting, which shows that the researchers at the Great Xia Supernatural Abilities Research Institute clearly understand what it means to be people-oriented better than the director and screenwriter.

Director He nodded: "Yes."

Zhuang Jun then asked, "What happens after you lie down?" Director He kept him in suspense, saying, "You'll find out then."

"Snapped!"

The director patted Zhuang Jun on the shoulder: "Colonel Zhuang, it's up to you now."

Zhuang Jun climbed onto the platform in a daze, only to find that the single bed was not a mattress, but a piece of slightly milky white colloid that emitted a very faint fragrance.

Director He stood at the foot of the tower and introduced, "This is a mattress developed by another research institute. It's very comfortable to lie on."

Zhuang Jun was puzzled: "Why are you researching mattresses instead of cutting-edge technology?"

Director He simply said three words: "Byproduct."

The implication is that they were originally researching other technologies, but during the development process they came up with something small, and after discussing it, the researchers felt that making a mattress would be more suitable.

Zhuang Jun replied with "Okay" and then lay down.

He immediately realized that Director He was indeed not lying.

The mattress seems to possess intelligence, automatically adjusting its surface shape according to the pressure of different parts of the body, not only perfectly conforming to the body but also giving people a strange feeling of "floating".

Zhuang Jun couldn't help but comment, "Director He, this mattress will definitely sell like hotcakes after it hits the market."

Director He laughed and said, "Everyone who has lain down here says so. In the future, all the furniture and household items of the people of Great Xia will be replaced one by one."

Zhuang Jun didn't speak again, but closed his eyes and focused his mind on sensing his surroundings.

A few seconds later.

"Ding!"

Lingbaoyi suddenly made a sound.

Zhuang Jun suddenly "saw" a hazy shadow, which looked similar to a human and was floating above.

It's not about seeing with your eyes, but about perceiving with your heart.

The shadow said calmly, "Hello, Mr. Zhuang!"

Zhuang Jun was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously replied, "Hello!"

The shadow continued, "Let me introduce myself. I am a wisp of consciousness separated from Mr. Spirit Raven, and the guiding spirit that evolved from it."

"My existence itself represents one small experiment among the countless attempts Mr. Lingya has made on the path of the supernatural."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Jun could only say, "This guy is awesome."

If a "small" experiment can produce something that is almost a living organism, what kind of world-shaking things will a large-scale experiment produce?

The guiding spirit continued, "Next, I will guide you on how to use the Heavenly Eye of the Heavenly Spirit to observe the ocean of consciousness in the target area."

"This ocean is a collection of pan-consciousnesses projected by billions of intelligent life forms on the planet Azure through mental projection."

"The ocean is full of strange and wonderful things. I will guide you on how to get to know this ocean and how to search for specific targets in it."

"I will also act as an assistant, observing the targets you need me to pay more attention to, and providing timely feedback on their actions..."

The shadow spoke at length, demonstrating a powerful intelligence indistinguishable from that of a real person.

It then said, "Let's begin now. First, please open your mind so we can communicate quickly."

Zhuang Jun did as instructed.

A series of consciousness messages entered his brain directly, and he began to activate the power of the Spirit Treasure Robe according to the guidance.

Soon.

"Ding!"

A string of black jade hanging from the ceiling suddenly trembled slightly.

The sound was not noisy, but rather had a very lingering charm.

This was like toppling the first domino, and a chain reaction ensued.

"Ding! Ding!"

A series of black jade beads vibrated in succession, and a clear chime resounded throughout.

Director He and the others looked up and were surprised to find that the clear chirping was not chaotic, but rather carried a peculiar rhythm.

The director whispered, "Truly worthy of being the number one ghost disciple, he grasped the knack on his very first try."

“An experiment was conducted on another branch yesterday. The person in charge was Colonel Zhang Hongyu, the deputy commander of the Battle Flag Legion. He tried five times before he was considered to have mastered it.”

A researcher next to him nodded and said, "In terms of individual combat strength, Colonel Zhang is currently far superior to Colonel Zhuang, but in terms of potential, he is far behind."

"By the time they reach the intermediate warrior stage, Colonel Zhuang can probably outmaneuver Colonel Zhang completely. Ghost's eye for talent is exceptionally accurate!"

Just when everyone was talking about it.

Zhuang Jun entered an incredibly strange place.

He looked around and was immediately deeply shocked.

This is a world of light.

Countless colorful points of light swept past like a torrent.

When your gaze falls on any point of light, you can sense its presence, hear its whispers, and feel its joys and sorrows.

As the host of the event, he naturally knew that it connected the hearts of over 600 million people.

What a tremendous power this is!
And the wisdom behind this power, or rather, the wisdom of these two giants, is truly awe-inspiring! (End of Chapter)
