Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

The young ladies queuing to buy milk tea suddenly noticed that the queue was moving much slower than before. Looking up, they saw the young man with the milk tea shop sign making various poses with the ladies taking photos.

Everyone smiled knowingly; this young man was being too cooperative.

Pan Li, who was in line, became somewhat anxious. He had a feeling that some danger was about to occur.

Looking around, he seemed to see some people subtly observing him.

The spiritual sense of a Qi Refining stage cultivator is extremely sensitive. Sensing something was wrong, he immediately took his female companion's arm and headed outside.

Seeing Pan Li about to leave, Shen Bai quickly called out, "Miss, do you still want the hundred cups of milk tea you ordered last time?"

The young woman exclaimed, "Are you still keeping it for me? If... um, you can... keep it... and I'll... come back for it later!"

The young woman's eyes suddenly became blank. After mechanically saying a few words, she was hurriedly pulled away by Pan Li.

Shen Bai wanted to stop him, but couldn't find a good excuse, so he could only watch helplessly as Pan Li pulled the other person into the crowd.

"It's alright, the people from the Enforcement Hall and the Night Fiend Hall have arrived, they should have caught up by now!"

Hu Feier's voice rang in his ear, and Shen Bai nodded almost imperceptibly, but his heart was filled with dread.

Night Demon Hall?

How did the Night Fiend Hall get involved?

If the Law Enforcement Hall is responsible for daily security, then the Night Fiend Hall is specifically responsible for heinous criminals and the invasion of monsters and demons. Criminals who can alarm the Night Fiend Hall are definitely not simple people.

The cultivators in the Night Fiend Hall are at least at the late stage of Qi Refining, and they wield immense power. Ordinary cases simply cannot alarm them.

Could it be because of the opponent's perfect disguise technique?

"Ahhhhh—"

Suddenly, screams erupted from the crowd in the distance, and more than a dozen figures leaped into the air, riding on flying swords as they chased after the pursuers.

Shen Bai realized that the guy named Pan Li had been targeted.

I just don't know if the other party can escape.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall the female spy in the Bai Corporation's corporate espionage case, who was also an expert in disguise, and whose disguise skills were far superior to Pan Li's.

What is the connection between the two?

Shen Bai didn't pay attention to what happened afterward. At 7:30, he left work on time, and under Qi Hao's envious gaze, he stepped onto his flying skateboard and left in a dashing manner.

……

That evening, after Shen Bai returned home, he brought back a series of tools and materials and asked Shen Wenwen to come and help him.

"Shen Bai, what are you doing? Aren't you going to repair the daily-use magical artifacts today?"

Shen Wenwen watched Shen Bai fiddling with some materials, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"I want to make a magical artifact."

"A magical artifact?"

Shen Wenwen was completely confused. Why did they suddenly want to make a ritual implement?

Shen Bai explained it briefly, and Shen Wenwen understood.

The two recent attacks, coupled with the encounter with the cunning Pan Li today, have given Shen Bai a sense of crisis.

This is an era of global cultivation, where anyone could become a Foundation Establishment cultivator or a Golden Core cultivator. He managed to dodge the attack twice thanks to his cleverness, but what about next time?

Although the Xuan Yuan Empire's overall security was much better than that of other empires, several crises made Shen Bai realize that some things cannot be judged by appearances alone.

There are too many dangers in the lower strata and the dark side of society.

Shen Bai didn't want to be so passive every time; he needed to give himself a few more trump cards.

This planet is very advanced in exploring its own potential and is also very skilled in developing magical artifacts, but it lacks the firearm-type magical artifacts that it is familiar with.

People might be more used to using flying swords. Or perhaps it's because gunpowder isn't valued in this world.

Or perhaps it's because the rules of the world are different.

The problem is that before the mid-stage of Qi Refining, there are no good ranged attack methods for the three stages of Acquired Martial Artist, Innate Martial Artist, and Early Qi Refining.

Especially in the early stages of Qi Refining, people usually just smash talismans together. They know a few spells, and their pitiful spiritual power is drained after only a few uses.

Seems useless.

Therefore, Shen Bai decided to create a magical artifact version of the Desert Eagle.

In this alternate world, the Desert Eagle is a renowned and powerful pistol.

The main reason for choosing the Desert Eagle design is its cool factor.

I'm destined to be a man who never looks down on being handsome, otherwise I won't be able to garner any jealousy points, so I definitely have to choose a cool-looking gun.

In this other world, Shen Bai could be considered a weapon enthusiast, not quite a hardcore fan, but he was quite familiar with the principles of some firearms. In addition, with his current experience as a weapon-refining apprentice, he was previously limited by the lack of spiritual power, but now that he had a spiritual power converter, he had the prerequisite to make a simple magic weapon.

Shen Bai planned to design three modes for this Desert Eagle: a normal metal bullet mode, a spirit energy bullet mode, and an explosive mode.

The metal bullet mode is the same as the original Desert Eagle usage, using ordinary metal bullets. The only difference is that gunpowder activation is replaced with spiritual energy activation. The spiritual energy comes from the spiritual energy extracted from the spirit stones by the spiritual energy conversion array.

The Spiritual Power Mode uses one's own spiritual power as the primary bullet, and the power of the spiritual power bullet depends on how much spiritual power is used each time. This mode cannot be used because one does not have spiritual power for the time being, and must be put on hold until one enters the Qi Refining stage.

The burst mode drains all the spiritual energy from the spirit stone at once and releases it all at once.

A powerful strike can produce a miracle, a single shot can kill!

These three modes, though seemingly complex, are actually just adjustments and controls for the input and output of spiritual energy within the spiritual energy conversion array. In terms of effect, each has its advantages and disadvantages.

The metal bullet mode is a purely physical attack. Based on the rules of the world, it is definitely not effective against cultivators in the Qi Refining stage who possess magic robes. It can only be used against acquired martial artists and ordinary spirit beasts and demon beasts, and it does not pose a high threat to innate martial artists.

To increase power, special bullets must be made, such as fire bullets, explosive bullets, and frost bullets. However, this requires a high level of crafting skill, as each bullet, about the size of a finger, needs to have a magic array inscribed on it, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and resource-intensive.

The best way is to engrave magic circles such as fire array, explosion array, and frost array on the magazine, so that you can freely switch between bullet modes.

Shen Bai thought for a moment. With his current skill level, he definitely couldn't engrave magic arrays on bullets, so the best way was to work on the magazine.

So let's make two magazines first, one flame magazine and one frost magazine.

Once my weapon crafting skills improve, I can combine the two types of magazines into one, and even add more magic arrays inside. That way, I can adjust it to the mode that I need to use whichever type of bullet.

At that time, it seemed like we could try designing it using a revolver. A revolver with 5 to 6 cylinders, each with a different magic circle, sounds pretty cool!

In this way, ordinary metal bullets, after being imbued with various attributes such as fire, frost, and explosiveness, should be able to pose a certain threat to cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining. However, the extent of this threat will only be known after testing.

At this stage, Shen Bai can only use spirit stones as power. Once he enters the Qi Refining stage, he can use the spiritual power mode, using his own spiritual power as bullets. At that time, there will be more ways to play.

The burst mode requires a high level of gun strength because it extracts spiritual energy from a spirit stone at once and then releases it all at once. If the gun body material is not good or there is no reinforced magic array, it is easy for the barrel to explode.

Moreover, this model is extremely expensive!

Each bullet is a spirit stone.

This isn't shooting guns, it's shooting money!

In this way, Shen Bai had a complete idea for the entire magic weapon version of the Desert Eagle.
