Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 37 Two kinds of tasks that you must not accept

Rub the lightning with your hands.

Zhou Qing felt excited just thinking about that scene.

In the world of immortal cultivation, thunder and lightning have always been regarded as the power of punishment on behalf of heaven. Among the many spell sequences, thunder magic also surpasses all other spells and holds a unique position.

Among spells of the same level, thunder magic has the most explosive effect. When it collides with other spells, it can often achieve devastating results.

However, precisely because of its explosive power, thunder magic is also the most difficult for cultivators to master.

Zhou Qing heard from Chen Qingxuan that Qingyun Sect also had a set of thunder magic system that could reach the Golden Core stage, but unfortunately no one had successfully practiced it for hundreds of years.

When his realm is high enough, he can try to apply to practice thunder magic. As the eldest brother, he is qualified enough to apply.

With the help of magnetic field abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to master thunder magic.

However, thunder magic is still a thing in the distant future. The most important thing for him now is to master the use of the cards he has already mastered.

Especially his hypersonic iron bullet.

The potential of this trump card is enormous, perhaps even greater than that of Lei Fa, and it is worth his effort to explore.

In the past two months, Zhou Qing has used a hammer to knock out two iron balls, but the shapes are not as perfect as the previous one.

However, under hypersonic conditions, this difference in shape does not affect the effect.

In order to make the iron ball powerful enough, Zhou Qing needs to establish a circular magnetic field around himself, and then accelerate the iron ball to a sufficiently high speed in the circular magnetic field.

This will cause a problem.

How to make the iron balls move in a circle around him and shoot them at distant enemies.

It is very difficult to change the trajectory of the iron ball moving at hypersonic speed, especially since he has already consumed huge magnetic field energy to accelerate the iron ball.

The most labor-saving and reasonable measure is to let the iron balls shoot out along a tangent of the circular magnetic field, and this tangent happens to point towards the enemy.

This balance is very difficult to grasp.

Zhou Qing planned to practice with low-speed iron balls first, and then slowly increase the speed of the iron balls.

He used a magnetic field to levitate an iron ball and make it move around itself.

The speed of the iron ball is only slightly faster than the running speed of an ordinary person.

Zhou Qing aimed at a bowl-sized target on the courtyard wall, calculated the timing precisely, and suddenly removed the magnetic field.

There is no magnetic field to provide external force to make the iron ball move around the circular track, and it is naturally ejected along the tangent of the circular track.

Snapped!
The iron ball hit the courtyard wall, about two feet away from the target.

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly.

The target on the courtyard wall was only three or four feet away from him, but the deviation was two feet.

This accuracy is even worse than a child throwing darts blindfolded.

He walked over, picked up the iron ball and continued practicing.

The iron ball always goes over the wall either to the left, to the right, or up.

Zhou Qing practiced thousands of times but didn't hit the target once.

Seeing that it was already noon and the magnetic field energy had been consumed by 30% to 40%, Zhou Qing planned to take a break and continue practicing in the afternoon.

He had just picked up the iron ball and returned to his room to rest for less than a quarter of an hour when he suddenly heard a commotion outside the yard.

Zhou Qing walked over and opened the gate, only to find a group of people crowded outside.

Wei Kuang, Wei Xu, Wang Xiaohu, Nie Yunxi, Feng Yuan, Yuan Hongying. Zhou Qing smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wei Xu smiled and said, "We all felt a little uncomfortable with the sudden free time during the day. After practicing in the morning, I felt that I had nothing to do, so I asked Miss Nie and Xiaohu to come and have fun with you. I met these two in the bamboo forest."

He pointed at Yuan Hongying and Wei Kuang.

Zhou Qing said, "Are you two here to kill time with me too?"

Yuan Hongying smiled and said, "I came to ask my senior brother if there is any mission I can take on."

Several people were all surprised and asked, "Are you going to take the mission so soon?"

Yuan Hongying smiled and said, "Yesterday I used the spirit stones to practice, and I couldn't stop. Thinking that two spirit stones can only be used for ten days, and I can't maintain that practice speed for the remaining twenty days, I feel that time is being wasted."

"So I came to ask my senior brother if there are any tasks that can earn me some spirit stones."

Zhou Qing empathized with Yuan Hongying's thoughts.

He had the same feeling since last night, and he felt deeply regretful at the thought that he would not be able to maintain his cultivation speed in three days.

He shook his head and said, "I just checked the notice board of the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall this morning, and there is no task suitable for us."

Yuan Hongying shook her head in disappointment and said, "Looks like we have to wait for a while. If there's a good job, don't forget me."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhou Qing with a pitiful look.

Zhou Qing smiled but did not respond. Instead, he looked at Wei Kuang and asked, "What is your business?"

Wei Kuang smiled and said, "I am also here for the mission, but not to accept it. I just thought that Senior Brother has never been too concerned about the mundane affairs of the sect. Maybe there are some things that he needs my reminder to avoid taking detours."

Zhou Qing asked, "Is there something fishy about the mission at the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall?"

Wei Kuang said: "The sect's mission can be seen as a subsidy to the disciples. Naturally, there will be no tricks such as deliberately harming the disciples."

"However, different tasks have different rewards, different levels of difficulty, and different impacts on disciples, so you need to pay more attention."

"Among all the sect's missions, there are two types that pay the highest, but you must never accept them, brother."

Zhou Qing asked in surprise: "Which two categories?"

Wei Kuang said: "One is the Thunder Dragon Cave, and the other is the Living Dead Cliff."

Zhou Qing said, "I've heard about the Cliff of the Living Dead. Where is this Thunder Dragon Cave? Why can't I take the missions from these two places?"

Wei Kuang said, "The Thunder Dragon Cave is at the foot of the mountain behind Qingyun Mountain. From the cave entrance, you can directly reach the bottom of Qingyun Mountain. That is where our Qingyun Sect's spiritual vein originates, and it is also the place with the most abundant spiritual energy in Qingyun Sect."

"The concentration of spiritual energy there is like a high-grade spiritual stone boiling at all times."

Wei Xu, Yuan Hongying, and the others were all shocked, their eyes sparkling. They said, "So, the missions there should be something everyone is vying for. After the missions, if we take the time to sit down and practice for a while, wouldn't that be like getting high-grade spirit stones for free?"

"There is no such good thing."

Wei Kuang smiled bitterly and said, "The reason it's called Thunder Dragon Cave is because our Qingyun Sect's guardian spirit beast, the Thunder Dragon at the peak of the Golden Core stage, is always entrenched there. This causes lightning to flash constantly in the Thunder Dragon Cave, which is not conducive to cultivation at all."

"Every once in a while, the Thunder Dragon needs someone to help clean its scales. This is the mission of the Thunder Dragon Cave."

"Although the Thunder Dragon tried its best to restrain its power, the disciples who cleaned its scales would still receive slight electric shocks from time to time. Although they were not fatal, they were extremely uncomfortable. After returning, their whole bodies were trembling and they could not practice for several days."

"Thus, although the reward for the Thunder Dragon Cave mission is generous, it is something that everyone avoids."

It turned out to be the case.

Zhou Qing's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "What are the hidden drawbacks of the Cliff of the Living Dead mission?"
