Spirit cultivation and immortality, how do you control an aircraft carrier?

Under such circumstances, contacting Shen Huang is only risky.

In case of any conflict... not to mention the township head, even the head of the guards conveyed a certain degree of goodwill.

Moreover, this outsider, although not a superhuman, is extremely dangerous!

They saw both bodies that day.

For various reasons, when the guard saw Shen Huang suddenly come to find him and even called out his surname, he became unusually nervous.

His face flushed red, he looked wary, and he even took two steps back.

Shen Huang was somewhat surprised by this reaction. However, the person in front of him, though called a guard, looked to be only about fourteen or fifteen years old.

He's just a young man, probably still in middle school if he were on his home planet.

"Don't be nervous, Guard Cheng." Shen Huang's expression was calm and his tone casual. "I just want to ask you a few questions."

Indeed, this was one of the suggestions given by Zhou Yu and others: when Shen Huang was gathering basic information, he didn't need to be too secretive or roundabout.

As an "outsider," a newcomer who had just overcome the language barrier, it was perfectly normal for him to inquire about information and get to know his surroundings.

If you try to hide or be timid, you'll only appear to lack confidence.

It's better to be open and honest.

"What...what do you want to ask?" Guard Cheng tried to calm himself down, but looking at Shen Huang's expression, he became even more nervous and took a few steps back, as if some important person had come to find him.

In fact, they are almost the same.

With the township head's attitude unclear, these ordinary guards dared not offend Shen Huang and were somewhat afraid of his mysterious methods.

Moreover, Shen Huang's current attitude clearly places him in a superior position.

"I told you not to be nervous."

Shen Huang held an exquisitely designed windproof lighter in his palm, and with a snap, lit it, and a flame rose.

Then he tossed it towards Guard Cheng.

"This little gadget is quite convenient for starting a fire; consider it a reward for answering your question."

The guard hurriedly took it, only to find it icy cold to the touch. Looking at the intricate and delicate patterns on it, and the magical fire that came out when the lid was opened, he realized that he had never seen such an extraordinary treasure before.

While amazed, I was even more nervous.

Is such a treasure really something he can possess?

Could this stranger really give away such a treasure so easily?

The guard's gaze toward Shen Huang now held a clear hint of awe.

Upon seeing that expression, Shen Huang immediately understood.

It became.

The township head's attention, military advantage, mystery and unknown, the demeanor of a superior, and generous spending... this series of combined blows was something a young boy who had only recently become a guard could not possibly resist.

"I'd like to ask how you assess talent when you become guards, and what the definition of talent is here?" Shen Huang didn't give them time to refuse or think before asking directly.

Guard Cheng was slightly taken aback.

It's not that the question is unanswerable, but rather that this stranger casually gave away such a precious gift just to ask this question.

He glanced again at the exquisitely crafted treasure in his hand, clenched it slightly, pursed his lips, and subconsciously bowed slightly as he replied:

"Most spiritual objects can detect talent, but if you want to test talent attributes, you need spiritual objects with different attributes."

"A spiritual object?" Shen Huang raised an eyebrow, seemingly lost in thought. "This is quite different from the way we test talent over there. The one you're carrying around your waist is also a spiritual object, isn't it?"

His gaze was already fixed on Guard Cheng's waist.

That was a hammer.

Yes, literally a hammer, very short, only about twenty centimeters long, completely black, and the hammerhead is just a not-so-round sphere, looking very simple.

However, it was emitting a faint glow!

Like the long sword that guard Cheng carried at his waist, only its light was noticeably dimmer.

Shen Huang, now that he has some understanding of this world, can naturally guess what it is.

In contemporary spiritual practices, the most important element is "spirit"!

The practice is called "Spirit Control Method," and the protected place is also related to the "spirit of protection." Even the description of this great calamity in the jade slip contains terms like "all living things."

Even talent testing is now related to "spirit," which shows the importance of spirit.

Seemingly noticing Shen Huang's gaze, Guard Cheng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately dared not refuse and took off the hammer from his waist.

"My spiritual object does indeed have the ability to detect things, but it is ultimately only a spiritual object that has just begun to transform into a mortal, and its detection limit is not high. If you want to try it, hold this hammer, slow your breathing, concentrate your mind, and focus on this hammer..."

As he spoke, he handed over the hand-held end of the hammer.

Shen Huang was slightly nervous.

Talent—its importance on the path of cultivation is self-evident!

However, without much hesitation, he reached out and grabbed it.

Before Shen Huang could slow his breathing and concentrate as instructed, the hammer trembled slightly, and its originally dim light intensified in an instant!

Shen Huang felt a cool sensation flowing continuously into the hammer.

Although faint, it was extremely comfortable, like soaking in a hot spring.

Guard Cheng's eyes widened suddenly.

He stared intently at his magical creature, his face filled with astonishment.

"This, this..."

He had, after all, established a cultivation contract with the spirit, so he could clearly sense that his spirit was cheering and jumping for joy.

It took him a while to realize what was happening, and he quickly reached out and snatched it away.

"I can't hold it any longer!" Guard Cheng nervously felt the slight trembling of the spiritual object in his hand. His gaze towards Shen Huang now held a mixture of shock and profound awe.

If the previous awe was merely due to the master's attention, it was also due to Shen Huang's own mystery.

But now, it's because of Shen Huang's talent!

"Your talent is incredible!" Guard Cheng emphasized, his envy and amazement impossible to shake. "My connection with spirit creatures is still shallow. If I let you use it for too long, I'm afraid it will backfire... Even Guard Captain He couldn't do that. With such talent, how come you haven't started cultivating at this age?"

The last sentence was clearly a subconscious question.

After carefully observing the other person's expression, Shen Huang was finally able to confirm it.

My talent is truly extraordinary!

Although he had expected this, since he came to this world, not only have his abilities been constantly increasing, but he has also felt that his physical strength and power have also improved significantly.

Even if one's talent was poor in the past, after obtaining the jade and that extraordinary ability, one's talent should not be bad.

However, speculation is just speculation. The truth can only be determined by verifying it using the methods of this world.
