Chapter 5 What grade of spiritual weapon is this?!
He waited until the transaction was over, then immediately went over.
"Hello, do you accept cloud stepping boards?"
"Yes, I bought it. When did you buy it?" The short-haired girl looked up at him and asked with a smile.
"Just arrived today, practically brand new."
Zhu Que remained unfazed and said, "Our boss's youngest daughter thought the color was ugly and was too lazy to return it, so she just tossed it to me."
He took out the pair of counterfeit cloud-stepping boards.
"Hmm, it looks pretty new."
The short-haired girl glanced at the results, then picked up the detector and scanned the device, finally seeing the final test results.
"Huh? Why are there still flaws?" the short-haired girl wondered.
Are there any flaws?
Zhu Que feigned doubt, but a thought flashed through his mind: the side effects of the pirated magical artifact had been detected.
"How much of this magical artifact can you give me?"
"If it has any flaws, the price will be much lower; I can only offer you..."
The short-haired girl handed him the price estimate page for the testing equipment: "Here, I can only give you 275 spirit coins."
"275? This is practically brand new. I saw it originally sold for 2900 spirit coins." Zhu Que tried to bargain.
"Don't complain about the small price; it's already very reasonable."
The short-haired girl smiled and said, "We can't sell flawed magical artifacts. We have to inspect, repair, and replace parts, and those costs are not cheap. We can't make much money at all."
"Alright, 275 it is."
Zhu Que did not persist.
After all, for him, this thing was practically free.
With so many discarded and damaged items in the landfill, he could easily replicate hundreds of them a day if he wanted to.
"Please register your identity information."
The short-haired girl operated the equipment with neat and efficient movements.
"...Can I not register?"
Zhu Que asked tentatively.
He's going to make money by selling pirated magical artifacts, so he definitely won't just sell them once.
If his identity information is recorded in every sale, his secret will be exposed sooner or later.
Because he simply couldn't explain why a fifth-class commoner working in a garbage dump could frequently take out magical artifacts to sell.
The short-haired girl looked up at him and smiled, "Sure, the price is 150 spirit coins if you don't register your identity information."
"no problem."
Zhu Que immediately agreed.
150 spirit coins may be a small amount, but every little bit helps, and his secret must not be exposed.
"that……"
Zhu Que was about to speak, preparing to ask if she could continue to sell similar magical artifacts to her.
"If you find any more of these magical artifacts, just contact me directly."
The short-haired girl spoke first, handed him a business card, and then drove away in the small truck.
Zhu Que glanced at the business card—
GuiGui Secondhand Recycling - Recycler XiaoCai
He carefully put away the spirit coins and the business card, and instead of returning to the junkyard, he went to the nearest self-cultivation center.
His goal was very clear: now that he had earned his first income, the next step was to acquire the breathing techniques.
There are many types of breathing exercises, and they vary in quality.
Among them, the most basic beginner-level breathing technique is the "Cloud Breath Breathing Technique".
The Cloud Breathing Technique is free to purchase; most self-training centers offer it to their customers for free.
Zhu Que went straight to the nearest self-study center.
The so-called "self-training centers" are just commercial training rooms that are rented out to the public.
Merchants set up a spiritual energy supply array to continuously release spiritual energy into each cultivation room, increasing the density of spiritual energy and improving cultivation efficiency.
Although anyone could rent a room at the self-training center, he could only afford the cheapest beginner training room.
The price is 130 spirit coins per hour.
Zhu Que paid the money without hesitation.
The beginner training room is just a small cubicle of five square meters.
A narrow window, a small bookshelf, a silent clock, a thin blanket covering the wooden floor, and a faded map of Jinfeng Town hanging on the wall.
The bookshelf held more than a dozen introductory cultivation books, most of which contained extremely basic content.
However, for Zhu Que, who is a novice in cultivation, these books are exactly what he needs right now.
He rummaged through the bookshelf and found the free copy of "Cloud Breathing Technique".
Zhu Que sat down cross-legged and began to read with great eagerness.
"The spiritual energy flows and permeates all things in heaven and earth. To absorb it into oneself, one must use breathing techniques to open the meridians, using breath and intention as a bridge..."
"Beginners must first calm their minds and focus their attention on their breath, allowing the internal energy to initially resonate with the external spiritual energy..."
"The way of breathing exercises emphasizes going with the flow, rather than forcibly absorbing nutrients..."
As the most widely used basic breathing technique, "Cloud Breath Breathing Technique" is relatively simple and easy to understand.
There are three main breathing techniques—
Mind and breath in harmony, will and spirit in sync, inspiration and understanding in perfect accord
Zhu Que took a deep breath, followed the steps, held his breath and concentrated, trying to sense the ethereal and invisible spiritual energy.
however.
He tried repeatedly for more than ten minutes, but he couldn't sense any spiritual energy at all.
"Strange, why can't I sense it? Is it because my cultivation talent is lacking? Or is my spiritual root too poor?"
Zhu Que frowned slightly, wondering what the problem was.
He quickly rummaged through the bookshelf and found the answer in a book titled "Complete Guide to Cultivation Basics".
It turns out that sensing spiritual energy, as the first hurdle to stepping onto the path of cultivation, is inherently very difficult.
Even those with exceptional talent often need three to five days or even a week to sense spiritual energy.
If the candidate has average qualifications, it may take several months.
If one is dull-witted, there may be no progress for two or three years.
"It turns out it wasn't my problem; it's just that sensing spiritual energy is inherently difficult."
Zhu Que suddenly realized what was going on and continued reading, soon finding the key solution in the book.
The book mentions—
To reduce the difficulty of perception, people have developed various "spirit-gathering" artifacts that can actively gather surrounding spiritual energy, making it easier to detect.
With this magical artifact, the difficulty of sensing spiritual energy dropped dramatically, allowing many ordinary people to cross the first threshold.
"A spirit-gathering artifact... isn't that just a spirit-gathering cloth?!"
Zhu Que's heart stirred, and he took out the Spirit Gathering Cloth from his pocket, put it on his dantian, and began to sense the spiritual energy again.
This time, he didn't focus on sensing the spiritual energy in the cultivation room, but instead concentrated on sensing the spiritual energy gathered by the Spirit Gathering Silk.
next moment.
He immediately and clearly felt the spiritual energy in front of his dantian.
Those spiritual energies were like wisps of smoke, neither wind nor water, ethereal and formless.
"It's a success?!"
Zhu Que opened his eyes, his face showing surprise.
"No wonder people in this world rely on artifacts to cultivate immortality."
"Even geniuses need three to five days to sense spiritual energy, but I sensed it instantly after using a spiritual artifact. This efficiency improvement is terrifying."
As he spoke, he slightly adjusted his posture, preparing to try absorbing spiritual energy.
however.
The moment his hand touched the wooden floor, his fingertips brushed against the ground, something happened that made his eyes widen—
[Unknown magical artifact detected!]
[Current parsing progress: 0.00001%...]
"?!"
Zhu Que's eyes widened in surprise. He looked down at the ground in astonishment, then glanced around the cramped five-square-meter training room.
What does that mean?
Is this cultivation room also a spiritual artifact?
But why is the parsing progress displayed to five decimal places?
Zhu Que observed carefully and found that the parsing progress had not jumped to 0.00002% for a long time.
His heart started racing and his scalp tingled.
"What grade of spiritual weapon is this?!"
