New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 63 Assets surge, return to Running (Subscribe)
His palm only briefly touched the stone pillar, and then nothing happened, so Lu Rang withdrew his hand. Those who didn't know what was going on thought that he had suddenly stopped mid-sentence because of something he had remembered.

Mengxi looked at him expectantly: "Is it done?"

"Yeah!" Lu Rang nodded.

Yuan Zhu: “???!”

Is that it? It doesn't look like anything has changed. Even the [Immortal Scripture] for sensitive skin didn't bother to warn, truly disrespecting the 'Pipe-Wrench Sword Immortal'.

Mai Lili, curious throughout, timidly asked, "Do you feel anything?"

Although she had no ambition to become a sword immortal, she had a great hope of strengthening herself. Therefore, she paid special attention to Lu Rang, who was of a similar level to her.

"I..." Lu Rang frowned, carefully feeling the [Sword Protection] bestowed upon him by the stone pillar.

This is a rather obvious and permanent state, like a person mastering the art of breathing underwater. It may seem unchanged, but it is indeed very different.

He suddenly extended his index finger, drawing on his mental and physical strength at the same time, condensing and maintaining a thin film-like force field on the surface of the first two knuckles, and a faint edge formed on the seemingly round surface of the finger.

呲呲!

He knelt down and ran his index finger across the floor, leaving a stain-like mark on the smooth marble. Then, Lu Rang withdrew his sword energy and gently rubbed the mark with his fingertips. Soon, the floor was clean, pristine, and without a speck of dirt.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly fell into a mysterious awkwardness.

Meng Xiyue clapped softly and encouraged him, "Don't be discouraged. The 'sword energy' you've condensed won't be able to break through the hardness of the tiles, so it won't leave any scratches. Just cultivate your sword energy day and night, and keep working hard, and you'll naturally be rewarded."

After downing a bowl of soul-stirring chicken soup, Lu Rang's mentality recovered a little. After all, it was only 400 points, so he couldn't force it. "Then how should I sacrifice the sword?"

Meng Xiyue: "This is easy. You're in the novice stage now, so just a slight sense of pain is all you need to imbue your flying sword with [Sword Qi]. Since you've chosen this pipe wrench, when you get home, cut your finger with a blade. Let the wound touch the pipe wrench, smearing the blood inch by inch. Carefully experience the pain and the changing flow of the sword energy. Imagine the sharp blade slicing your finger, leaving behind pain, and imbue the pipe wrench with these invisible things. Don't be afraid of pain, or of getting hurt or losing too much blood. In the [Maomao King] specialty area, there are blood tomatoes and blood bodhisattvas available for exchange. You're truly blessed."

Yuan Zhu nodded in agreement. The supply update of [Maomao King] came very timely. As long as there was a steady supply of "blood tomatoes" to repair his injuries, Lu Rang really had a chance to soar to the sky.

Looking at the only remaining Blood Bodhi in his hand, and then looking down at the pipe wrench, Sword Cultivator Lü Rang strengthened his conviction: "I understand! Then everyone, I will return first. Next time, I will never hold you back again."

"Goodbye! It's time for me to go." Meng Xiyue waved goodbye, then looked at Yuan Zhu, Mai Lili and the others, "What about you? What do you think?"

Mai Lili mustered up her courage and said, "I have decided to follow the captain's instructions. I will use this uniform as my main tool to cultivate the seeds of power. Then I will sign an anti-law agreement with the [Mao Mao Wang] and accept the captain's guidance."

The girl of the same age who seemed to have the least presence and was timid all the way was not as mediocre as she appeared. She actually found the best solution from countless options in one go.

What's the most important thing when hanging out at [Maomao Wang's Happy Home]? Of course, it's about standing in line and hugging the thighs!

As long as you make an anti-law with [Maomao King], you will be the daughter of [Happy Home] from now on.

Look at the other teammates, the loner butcher, the head thieves of the knowledge school, the anti-cheating tips expert of the command school, the killer swordsman with pipe clamps, the rebellious Mimi King... No one trusts [Maomao King], how can he be appreciated by the boss?

The next time a mission hits a crisis, who do you think the captain will be the first to protect? Of course, his own family. As long as he hangs out with [Mao Mao Wang], the captain instantly becomes a "mentor and protector," constantly protecting and caring for this one true friend.

Otherwise, after a mission, only the followers of [Mao Mao Wang] died. Where can I put my face as a big Mao Mao?
Meng Xiyue praised sincerely: "Sister, you have broadened your horizons!"

Before leaving, Zhou Chu reminded him, "Even if you sign the [Anti-Law], remember that power should be in your own hands. Don't over-trust the [Mao Mao King] and become his puppet. Instead, try to seize the power bestowed by the Anti-Law for yourself, try to sever ties with the Anti-Law Demon God, and ultimately break free from the [Mao Mao King's] constraints, gaining freedom and exclusive power. To do this, you can try to believe in the [Pale Great Law]..."

"Hey! You are so brave. Could you please not talk about these outrageous topics inside Happy Home? I'm so afraid of being implicated by you." Meng Xi Yue thought to herself that this sister was really brave and didn't even know how to write the word "death".

Zhou Chu replied calmly: "This is my way of dealing with the world!"

Yuan Zhu understood instantly that the 'rules' this sister had set for herself were probably to speak her mind, take responsibility for her actions, never lie, and be upright and incorruptible?

No wonder she dares to defy the captain, acting like a stubborn, naive "anti-fraud assistant" who's always nagging everyone and everything. It turns out this is her personality; she's practicing the law. As long as she fights back (and upholds her inner justice), she'll steadily grow stronger. Isn't that better than Lu Rang's daily self-harm?!

Meng Xiyue looked at Yuan Zhu: "What about you?"

"I'll browse the exchange list for a while and study and compare the common extraordinary systems."

"Then take your time. You have the coins anyway, so you can return at any time. Oh, and my golden arm!" Meng Xiyue hadn't forgotten Yuan Zhu's promise to divide the gold on the scale. That fool, Lu Rang, suddenly gained extraordinary power, so excited that he lost himself and even took the money and went home. She wasn't stupid.

Mai Lili, who was about to leave, also stopped and looked at Yuan Zhu expectantly with a pitiful expression on her face, her eyes full of "Rich man, give me a reward!"

Even Zhou Chu, the righteous partner who always dared to act and take responsibility, looked at him quietly with an expression of "I want it too".

"Divide it, divide it, one arm for each person, choose it yourself. Zhou Chu, you break it." Yuan Zhu moved aside, revealing the golden Bodhisattva standing at attention behind him.

Meng Xiyue, who loves beauty, was the first to speak: "Dragon Claw, I want this arm of the dragon!"

Mai Lili picked the thickest beast-like arm, while Zhou Chu randomly chose the most normal and human-like arm.

After the three took the three golden arms, they returned to their respective rooms without stopping. Yuan Zhu was the only one left in the hall, sizing up the space pillar.

A transparent cylindrical hollow tube is embedded on the right side of the stone pillar.

He reached out and touched it, realizing it was a teleportation device used for charging. The [Furry King] only needed to fill this cylindrical tube to target the [Nightmare Bubble Layer] and initiate a 'Bubble World' invasion teleportation.

If [Mao Mao Wang] doesn't top up, Yuan Zhu and the other team members can also inject their collected supplies (Demon Cocoon, Mummy Palm, Blood Bodhi), points, and the "pollution energy" accumulated through their own practice into the cylinder. Once the cylinder is filled, a "Space Teleport" can also be activated.

The stone pillar stands here, and you can return to the [Happy Home] at any time with coins.

In other words, even if [Mao Mao Wang] doesn't work, as long as Yuan Zhu has enough energy, he can still travel to a new bubble world on his own. Or he can join his teammates in Pin Xi Xi and take on private jobs together.

“The atmosphere in this [Happy Home] is really relaxing.”

Yuan Zhu sighed. Even the teleportation device was laid out so unprotected for people to see and use. It seemed that [Mao Mao Wang] really didn't want to restrict anyone. This part-time job at [Happy Home] was something he could continue.

Part-time worker Yuan Zhu decided to take on a new job! He then noticed that his points weren't the 400 the captain had promised, but 2000! The captain had given him 800 points, and the extra 400 points were related to the spy Shu Shu he had left behind in the Vajra Temple.

Not only did he see the changes happening in the Kongoji Temple through Shushu's perspective, but the captain who provided Shushu also saw, through Shushu's eyes, the scenes of Fujia suppressing the Buddha Shiki and sealing the [Youquan].

So he doubled Yuan Zhu's guaranteed salary as a reward for this information.

As for the remaining 1200 points, they had little to do with [Happy Home] and were a result of the feedback mechanism within the Gods' Space. Perhaps some of his actions in the Bubble World had triggered the reward mechanism, earning him this bonus.

2000 points was no small sum; it could produce five sword cultivators. However, he hadn't yet decided on the transcendental path within his human identity, so he was putting the money aside for now. It wouldn't be too late to return to it once he made up his mind.

"Xiao La Tiao, continue recording information."

"Snake understands!"

Out of curiosity, he also searched for [Basic Mechanics Model. Newton's Palm] and found relevant information.

"Knowledge School, artificial magic net, Duling Star inertia mechanics magic net..."

With the falling invasion of the 'Crystal Wall Universe Plane Fragments', the planet Duling briefly experienced a round of magical revival.

When the magic tide was on the rise, the original immigrants of the Crystal Wall system also realized that the universe they lived in had changed, and the rules of the universe and the magic system had completely become invalid.

Those mages at the top of the food chain hope to artificially create a 'new magic net' to cover the entire bit panel block, restrain the loss and dissipation of magic power, and ultimately rely on the [magic net] to achieve the internal circulation of magic power, while reactivating and reproducing the invalid 'spell bit system'.

But unfortunately, the magic tide collapsed at the speed of light.

In less than a hundred years, Duling, a seemingly ordinary zero-demon planet, was stimulated and instantly became a swarm of demons. Many pollution sources erupted, and the outer universe invaded one after another... The immigrants in the Crystal Wall Universe were terrified: Are we traveling to the [Bottomless Abyss] of another universe?

Although the Crystal Wall Universe's "artificial magic net" failed, the knowledge and technology were preserved and passed down intact. Later, through research by knowledgeable individuals in the Duling native land, they eventually collaborated with the Crystal Wall Universe's mages to create the "New Classical Mechanics Inert Magic Net," a design more suitable for the physical constitutions of Duling native babies.

This is the origin of today's "school of knowledge".

[Mechanical Magic Net] is not the 'magic net' of the magic universe. It has no magic elements and no spells.

The scholars of the Duling Planet merely drew inspiration from the structure of the Magic Net, but they also aspired to master various spells in their human form, just like the otherworldly mages. Thus, they jointly developed their own version of the Mechanical Magic Net.

Replacing 'magic' with 'knowledge + wisdom', replacing the 'zero-level spell model' with the most basic 'classical mechanics model', and developing a high-dimensional storage structure similar to the 'spell slot', and replacing the 'spell book' with a portable 'skull servo', one can pre-store the 'mechanical model' and activate and release it through the [skull]...

After all, using the head to hold and release knowledge is very common sense.

This was why Meng Xiyue appeared so pure. She herself had not been contaminated in any way. Instead, she used the 'Skull Servo' in her backpack as a medium for casting spells, indirectly storing knowledge and constructing models. Then, at the critical moment, she activated and released it, blasting the filthy-bone demonized Fish Granny to pieces with a single blow.

Yuan Zhu was quite interested in the [Mechanics Magic Net], but the basics required a vast reserve of native Duling knowledge. Furthermore, this wasn't the ordinary knowledge learned in high school, but rather the extraordinary knowledge that could only be gradually encountered after college.

This kind of [supernormal knowledge] that can stimulate the spirit and spirituality and produce changes at the soul level is qualified to be used as a clean energy to replace magic.

In fact, after Yuan Zhu's initial and hasty understanding of the "Knowledge School", he believed that "supernormal knowledge" itself was also a kind of subtle spiritual pollution. It's just that the pollution characteristics were not so obvious and strong.

The more extraordinary knowledge one acquires, the more profoundly it will shape a scholar's soul, distorting their cognition. This "distortion" also carries with it corresponding extraordinary power.

Buddhism can absorb and integrate the souls of believers through brainwashing and resonance, thus strengthening its own soul. Meanwhile, the knowledge school can also strengthen the soul by learning and mastering extraordinary knowledge, absorbing "knowledge" as nutrients.

"I'm still not smart enough. I can't even meet the entry standards."

The elf said, "Don't worry, boss. You simply haven't had the opportunity to access this extraordinary knowledge. Now with my help, your learning ability will surpass that of ordinary people. You'll have a photographic memory and be able to draw inferences from one instance to another. As long as you have 'spirituality' and the sparks of inspiration keep flashing, I can provide the corresponding computing power to realize your dreams. Together, you and I will become the world's top scientific researchers!"

"really?"

The elf said, "Absolutely true! The [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture] is a professional spy tool for undercover work in alien universes, possessing exceptional scientific research and analytical capabilities. Cultivation is merely a supplementary tool. Essentially, it cultivates the 'user (spy)' to become increasingly powerful, allowing for better collection of alien data and intelligence, thus preparing for future interstellar invasions. Therefore, you and I are destined to become great scientists! This 'school of knowledge' seems to have no entry requirements. We can practice both in the future. Marked."

After spending a full hour browsing the redemption list and moving all the information he could record into the [Immortal Scripture Database], Yuan Zhu then tried to redeem the 'Skull Demon Cocoons' he had collected in the bubble world, only to discover that each demon cocoon was worth 1 point.

The price is ridiculously cheap, and the exchange price is 5 points per magic cocoon.

"..."

So he decisively gave up the exchange, and the value instantly appreciated 5 times, with a return rate of 500%!

"That's right!" He suddenly remembered an item, which was suspected to be the culprit that got him involved in the "Happy House", the metal token that he had always kept close to him.

He pulled out the Night Patrol's token. Its original dark gold had now turned a mottled copper-green. The three seal characters "Night Patrol" on the front were so distorted they were difficult to read.

When Yuan Zhu brought the bronze medal to the stone pillar, he received a message in his mind: "This is a metal fragment with a small amount of spatial properties. Its internal energy circulation system has been damaged by external forces, causing its value to drop significantly. The material itself can be redeemed for 700 points."

"So, was it really this token that got me dragged into the Happy Home? Could it be that the spatial metal was used by the other side to locate Running? The coins in the Gods' Dimension also contain similar metals. Is the Night Watchman in the present world of Duling Star, or in the Spirit Realm, or the Foam Layer?"

Returning to the bedroom with full of doubts, he picked up the golden Buddha and activated the shadow uniform to split out a black silk thread, which wrapped around one of the Buddha's fingers, then bent it left and right repeatedly, finally breaking through the metal fatigue and breaking and pulling off the finger.

Although he had become rich overnight, he wasn't foolish enough to exchange a golden Buddha statue for it. In fact, gold was considered a hard currency in the 'Space of the Gods'.

Not only is [Maomao King and Space of Gods] recycled for a long time, even in a bubble world, gold has always been a recognized equivalent currency from ancient times to the present.

One golden finger is enough for him to squander for a while. If it is not enough, he can come back and get more.

"return!"

The dizziness gradually subsided, and the light around Yuan Zhu suddenly dimmed, and the air became turbid. The sound of dripping water reached his ears.

He then realized he was back in the bathroom. Huh? Where's my toilet? He looked around and found himself trapped in the innermost part of the bathroom partition, in a room specifically used to store mops and buckets.
