A Leader Who Advances the Project Bonus Is Someone You Can Count On
Lu Ping looked at Little B.
The Black Moon Camp's Sha Soul Crystals were almost completely drained.
The Star River Myriad Blades is still far off.
Venturing deep into the Lifeless Plain was not contrary to his original plan.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
"Since the Camp General has spoken, I, Lu, will naturally not refuse."
You agreed very readily.
[Lei Hanxiao looked at you, as if he had known all along that you would agree.]
He handed you a Storage Bag directly.
"There are one hundred Sha Soul Crystals inside."
[You glanced at the Storage Bag floating in front of you, your eyes widened, but you didn't reach out to take it.]
Lei Hanxiao didn't seem to care and said calmly,
"This is an advance of 10,000 military merit points for you."
"I know you've been frantically accumulating military merits and exchanging Sha Soul Crystals these past two years."
"I don't care what you need so many Sha Soul Crystals for, the Black Moon Camp has everything it can offer right now."
[The leader not only made empty promises, but also distributed project bonuses ahead of schedule.]
[Boss Lei, we can get along.]
[You put away the Storage Bag.]
[Lei Hanxiao took out two more Jade Slips, pointed to one of them and said,]
"This is the 'Sha-Melting Art'."
"This is Secret Method used exclusively by the White Tiger Hall Scouts. It can absorb the wandering Sha Qi in the Lifeless Plain and form a disguise of Sha Qi on the body's surface."
"Unless you encounter an entity of the level of Sha General or higher, ordinary Ruin Sha will treat you as one of their own."
[You scanned the Jade Slip with your Divine Sense, your brow furrowing slightly.]
This Cultivation Method is extremely risky.
[If you let Sha Qi enter your body, the slightest carelessness will cause it to erode Sha Qi mind and turn you into a true Ruin Sha.]
Lei Hanxiao's voice was calm, even somewhat cold.
"Among those in the army, only one in ten has mastered this Cultivation Method."
"But you can even kill Sha General, so your Divine Sense should far surpass that of an ordinary Golden Core. This Cultivation Method shouldn't be too difficult for you."
Then, Lei Hanxiao pointed to another Jade Slip and said,
"This is a map of the Lifeless Plain."
"Deep within the Lifeless Plain, there is not entirely no life."
" From the Yin Extreme Generates Yang, a creation of the Great Dao. Occasionally, in places where Sha Qi is at its strongest, extremely Yang Spiritual Springs or Spirit Veins will be born."
"These places are off-limits to the Ruin Sha; they are the only resting places Scouts Human Race."
"Most of the suspected safe spots are marked on the map. However, the situation in the Lifeless Plain is constantly changing, and I cannot guarantee that they are still safe."
[You put away the two Jade Slips, stood up, and bowed.]
"I need some time to prepare."
Lei Hanxiao also stood up and returned the greeting.
"That's natural."
"Lu Ping, be extremely careful on this trip. The extent of your investigation is entirely up to you."
[You leave Lei Hanxiao's cave abode and return to your Alchemy Chamber.]
[Next, you need to prepare for your journey into the Lifeless Plain.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Immediately go into seclusion to cultivate the "Sha-Melting Art" and max out your survival skills first.]
[B: First, refine the Thousand-Blade River. Those with a fear of insufficient firepower must maximize their damage output before venturing out.]
[C: They opened a "Lu's Postgraduate Entrance Exam Tutoring Class" in the camp, packaged up the alchemy techniques from the Alchemy Chamber, sold them at a high price to Wang Zhenli and Li Yuanzhi, and ran away after making their last profit.]
Lu Ping looked at Little A and Little B.
It seems like these two little ones might have gone out wearing the same pair of pants today.
What's the point of choosing? I'm an adult, I want them all.
Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You originally had eight Hundred-Blade Rings, plus the one hundred Sha Soul Crystals given to you by Lei Hanxiao.]
[With the triple Overtime pay bonus, that's enough to forge the Thousand-Blade River.]
[You went into seclusion again, leaving all the affairs of the Alchemy Chamber to Wang Zhenli and Li Yuanzhi.]
[Forty days later.]
[The final flying blade has been forged and completed, the tenth Hundred-Blade Ring is finished.]
[With a wave of your hand, ten silver-gray rings float around you, slowly rotating.]
[Close your eyes and expand your Divine Sense.]
[Disperse.]
[The ten Hundred-Blade Rings simultaneously emitted a clear, resonant hum, then instantly disintegrated.]
[One thousand and eighty miniature flying blades densely covered the entire cave abode.]
[A faint, Array Patterns glow emanated from each flying blade, emanating from array patterns.]
[You sit cross-legged in the very center, your Divine Sense transforming into countless invisible threads, guiding these thousand-plus flying blades.]
The resistance was greater than expected.
[To make the 1,080 independent Array Patterns resonate with each other and connect their energy is like simultaneously reining in over a thousand runaway horses.]
Fortunately, you have been diligent and persistent in your cultivation of the Spirit Refining Technique.
Even so, a tearing sensation resounded within his Sea of Consciousness.
[Salty Fish, in effect.]
[Your State of Mind is as steady as a rock.]
[The flying blade began to hover along a mysterious trajectory, guided by your Divine Sense.]
[The speed is getting faster and faster.]
[Connected from beginning to end, the flow of energy is continuous.]
[A long silver river, composed of 1,080 flying blades, surges and flows around you, creating a series of fine, whistling sounds.]
[At the center of this long river, you join your two fingers together, using your Divine Sense as a brush, and inscribe the final core Array Patterns that governs the entire situation in the Void.]
["Fall!"]
