Chapter 18 doesn't even refer to a single species!
Zhu Que was shocked by the sheer size of this colossal spiritual artifact.
What grade and type of magical artifact is this that can connect these three buildings across three kilometers?
He was very confused, but he kept it to himself and did not rush to investigate the matter.
His immediate priority is to find a magical artifact that can allow him to feign physical weakness.
However, after searching through the entire "Complete Collection of Uncommon Spiritual Weapons," he found no spiritual weapon that met his needs.
He then flipped through several more books, but unfortunately still found nothing.
Zhu Que had no choice but to give up temporarily, leave the library, and go to the old place where he was supposed to meet Xiao Cai.
"Snapped!"
Zhu Que entered the passenger seat and handed ten Spirit Gathering Cloths to Xiao Cai, who in turn gave him two second-tier spiritual artifacts.
"Here you go, two second-tier spiritual artifacts."
"Only two?"
Zhu Que told her about five second-tier spiritual artifacts, all of which were crucial spiritual artifacts for aiding cultivation.
What does "only two" mean?
Xiao Cai couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and said irritably:
"Cultivation-related spiritual artifacts are strictly controlled. These two second-tier spiritual artifacts were obtained through a lot of trouble by borrowing them from someone."
"Hmph, do you think it's easy for me to earn your 500 spirit coins?"
Zhu Que looked at the two magical artifacts.
This is the list of spiritual artifacts he compiled, so he already knows what the two spiritual artifacts are without needing any analysis.
The first is the "Qi Gang Golden Needle," which can strengthen the eight extraordinary meridians and increase the speed of spiritual energy circulation.
The second is the "Crystal Heart," which eliminates fatigue and drowsiness, quickly restoring mental and physical energy.
However, although Xiao Cai only brought two second-tier spiritual artifacts, they happened to be exactly what he needed right now.
The Qi Gang Golden Needle can further enhance his cultivation speed.
The significance of the Crystal Heart is even greater—
These days, he works during the day and cultivates at night, only able to catch up on sleep at noon and in the middle of the night, resulting in severe sleep deprivation and greatly affecting his cultivation efficiency.
With the Heart of Glass, he no longer needed to sleep.
Then.
Zhu Que began analyzing the two second-tier spiritual artifacts.
And he soon discovered—
After breaking through to the Qi Refining stage, the analysis speed indeed improved significantly.
The analysis of a second-tier spiritual artifact, which would normally take at least fifty minutes, was completed in just about thirty minutes.
"As expected, the speed of analysis is related to the cultivation level."
Zhu Que pondered to himself, "If I further improve my cultivation level, analyzing that super-large spiritual artifact won't be such a distant dream."
After he finished analyzing the two second-tier spiritual artifacts, he returned them to Xiao Cai, who then gave him 1000 spirit coins.
"Here, after deducting the observation fee for two second-tier spiritual artifacts, I'll give you 1000 spirit coins for ten Spirit Gathering Silks."
"Sister Cai, do you have any way of getting a third-tier spiritual weapon?"
"I can't do it! This is really impossible, I can't even borrow it," Xiao Cai said with a shrug.
"Alright, then Sister Cai, please keep an eye out for other second-tier spiritual artifacts for me."
"no problem."
"Then I'm leaving."
Zhu Que pushed open the car door and was about to get out when Xiao Cai reached out and grabbed him.
"Hey! Did you forget something?"
"Forgot what?"
Zhu Que paused for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Oh right! I need a portable detector, the kind that can check cultivation level."
He can't use large-scale testing instruments now, and even if he were to analyze and replicate one, there's nowhere to put it.
Just now, while searching for magical artifacts in the library, he saw a simple portable detection device. It looked very convenient, so he thought about making one.
"No problem, those things are everywhere."
Xiao Cai nodded slightly.
Just as Zhu Que was about to get off the bus again, Xiao Cai suddenly grabbed him, staring at him with her big, round eyes.
"Anything else?"
"Anything else?" Zhu Que was stunned. "Anything else?"
"It wasn't you..."
Xiao Cai was speechless, her ears instantly turning pink, and she managed to squeeze out a few words in a barely audible voice:
"Where's the... Sakura Bamboo I wanted...?"
"Oh, I forgot!"
Zhu Que slapped his forehead.
Yesterday, Xiao Cai did ask him to bring a "Cherry King Bamboo" for help, but he was so engrossed in cultivation that he had completely forgotten about it.
"Can't you be a little more reliable when you get things done?"
Xiao Cai glared at him angrily, but dared not raise her voice too much, her tone as soft as if she were being coquettish.
Zhu Que repeatedly assured her, "Sister Cai! I'll definitely bring it to you tomorrow. Please ask her to be patient a little!"
After saying that, he quickly got out of the car and left.
Xiao Cai froze for a few seconds, then squeezed her legs together tightly and twisted them. Her face was flushed red in the light, her teeth clenched, and she complained in a low voice:
"This damn thing... it's addictive enough... but it's also so easy to wear out..."
……
Zhu Que returned to the Sixth Garbage Dump.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the landfill, I saw a black pickup truck parked there.
A stout middle-aged man was waving his hand, directing several porters to lift a large wooden crate off the truck.
This man was Tang Dongfang, the manager of the Sixth Garbage Dump.
"Hey, hey, hey! Be damn careful! If this thing gets damaged, you couldn't afford to pay for it even if you sold yourselves!"
Tang Dongfang scolded impatiently in a shrill voice.
Zhu Que paused, lowered her eyes slightly, pretended not to see him, and prepared to sneak in quietly through the gap next to her.
"Hey, hey, hey! You stop right there!"
As soon as he entered, Tang Dongfang shouted at him to stop.
Zhu Que turned to look at him and bowed slightly: "Director."
Tang Dongfang crossed his arms and looked down at him: "What? You didn't even greet me when you saw me?"
"I saw you were busy, Manager, and I didn't want to bother you," Zhu Que said calmly.
"hehe……"
Tang Dongfang chuckled twice, his tone cold and hard: "Keke asked you to accompany her to the testing and evaluation center a couple of days ago?"
"Yes."
"You're injured?"
"Yes."
"How much money did Keke give you?"
"3000 spirit coins".
"How much is left?" Tang Dongfang's eyelids immediately darkened.
"Well……"
Zhu Queyi was momentarily speechless; he hadn't actually calculated the amount of money.
"Fine, I'll deduct 3000 spirit coins from your salary."
Tang Dongfang coldly said, "You were injured at the testing and evaluation center because of that born demon seed. It's not our responsibility at the junkyard. We don't owe you anything, understand?"
Zhu Que did not argue, but simply nodded slightly: "I understand."
"besides……"
Tang Dongfang's gaze swept over him. "Did Keke buy you this outfit too?"
"Yes."
"It will be deducted from your salary as well."
"……OK."
Zhu Que silently took a breath.
"You're at that age, you're probably going through puberty, right?"
Tang Dongfang said coldly, "Don't think that just because you're a little better looking, you can have any inappropriate fantasies about Keke."
"I see."
"Don't just say you understand; you need to truly understand it in your heart!"
Tang Dongfang stepped forward, his fat hands on his hips, staring into his eyes with an oppressive gaze.
"You must remember your place! You're just a lowly garbage collector, a fifth-class wretch, worse than a sewer rat! You're not from the same world as Coco, not even the same species!"
"If you dare to even entertain the slightest thought of touching Keke, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs! Do you understand?"
"……clear."
Zhu Que said he understood, but in his heart he just grimaced.
Anyone who even considered having designs on Tang Ke would be chopped up and fed to the dogs.
If you knew that I had sucked Tang Ke's lips until they were swollen, wouldn't you be so angry that you couldn't catch your breath and would die of anger?
