Spiritual Power Armor

Spiritual Power Armor

After a heart-tugging dance came to an end, Wang Yulun regained his senses, and everything around him returned to normal.

The moment Wang Yulun saw the magic artifacts on the ground, he knew he had failed again.

"Brother Xu, you really don't show any mercy. It really didn't even take an instant," Wang Yulun said dejectedly.

At that moment, Wang Yulun noticed Murong Qian'er, who was still dazzled. Her husband's bewitching, seductive dance lingered in her mind, impossible to dispel.

"What just happened?" Wang Yulun asked in confusion.

"Nothing."

"If you two are done, go back. I still need to teach my two disciples," Xu Fan said, holding back a laugh.

"Alright."

Although Wang Yulun still wanted to say something, he thought it over and gave up.

At the cliff's edge on the mountain peak, Xu Fan led the siblings in bidding farewell to the young couple.

Watching the two figures in the distance, Xu Fan mused, "Should I get some Mental defense-type spells?"

"And soul-related spells too. Those are the weaknesses of most Cultivators."

Xu Fan brought Xu Gang and Xu Yuexian into a room resembling a Teaching Hall.

The three sat cross-legged on the clean floor.

"You're probably already familiar with writing and meridians. Now I'll explain some basic knowledge of the Cultivation World."

"The cultivation realms are Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Refining Void, Integration, Tribulation Transcendence, and Mahayana—nine major realms in all."

"Above Mahayana, one can ascend to the Immortal World. We won't discuss that for now."

"To cultivate, you need the corresponding Spiritual Root and Cultivation Method."

"Xu Gang, your Spiritual Roots are Wood, fire, earth, and water."

"Yuexian, your Spiritual Roots are Wood, water, and Metal."

Both siblings took out their Little Notebooks and swiftly recorded the key points Xu Fan taught with charcoal pencils.

Not bad. They knew to take notes in class—definitely the makings of top students.

As Xu Fan's lesson went deeper, a vivid Great Cultivation World slowly opened its Main Gate to the siblings.

Three months later, at the cliff's edge of Small Hilltop, Xu Fan and the Wang Yulun couple drank tea as they watched the siblings practicing spells nearby.

"Brother Xu, your two disciples have improved so quickly. It's only been three months, and they've already cultivated to Qi Refining Layer 1."

"You fed them Elixirs, didn't you?" Wang Yulun said.

"Of course not. For that, I have to thank your wife."

"You two come over every few days to treat me to meals, and they've benefited as well. These are Spirit Dishes worth over a hundred Spirit Stones per table."

"Eating them often, of course they've progressed quickly."

As he spoke, Xu Fan handed Wang Yulun a bottle of Elixirs.

"These are Fetal Spirit Pills. I refined them by modifying an ancient Pill Recipe and replacing its ingredients."

"They've already been appraised by a Treasure Appraiser from the Myriad Treasures Merchant Guild. They can stabilize the pregnancy of pregnant Cultivators, refine spiritual essence, and improve the fetus's aptitude," Xu Fan said. He had spent no small amount of effort modifying this Pill Recipe.

Wang Yulun and Murong Qian'er's eyes lit up. Spiritual Pills that could stabilize a pregnancy were exceedingly rare in the Cultivation World. They had never expected Xu Fan to be able to refine them.

"You'd better not exchange for that Myriad Universe Fetal Spirit Pill. That thing goes against the natural order. If you really use it, it will more or less damage the child's potential," Xu Fan said solemnly to the two of them.

He also had the Pill Recipe for the Myriad Universe Fetal Spirit Pill. As a Pill Refiner who had already entered the ranks, he had his own understanding of Elixirs.

The Spiritual Herbs required for this Spiritual Pill gave Xu Fan the feeling that it consumed the potential of the child in the womb to improve the child's aptitude.

"Really?"

The young couple's expressions changed slightly, and they silently rejoiced that they had told Xu Fan about this.

"That is my feeling as a Pill Refiner."

"Thank you, Brother Xu, for the warning."

As Murong Qian'er spoke, she was about to pull Wang Yulun up to salute Xu Fan, but the moment they rose, a gentle force pressed them back down.

"Brother Xu, did you go to that Sect Exchange Assembly?"

"I have to say, it really opened my eyes."

"The combat spells of all those sects and schools simply overturned the understanding of us orthodox Cultivators," Wang Yulun said excitedly.

"I went once. It wasn't very interesting, so I came back."

Xu Fan had indeed wandered around the Sect Exchange Assembly, then returned when he found it boring.

"On the arena, I fought a disciple from the Beast Taming Sect."

"The war beasts they raised truly lived up to their reputation. If I hadn't had Brother Xu's Thousand Blade Flying Sword by my side, I probably would have lost."

"Even more amazing was that Flame Fire Gate. Their fire-attribute spells were practically comparable to the Divine Ability Secret Techniques of Foundation Establishment Cultivators."

"That does sound interesting," Xu Fan replied perfunctorily. Those fighting styles were nowhere near enough to surpass the wild flights of his imagination.

"I can tell from Brother Xu's expression that you aren't interested in what he's talking about," Murong Qian'er said with a smile.

"True. To Brother Xu, this is all child's play," Wang Yulun said somewhat disappointedly.

"Don't be so disappointed. Did you think I called you here today just to drink tea and give you Elixirs?"

Two sets of sci-fi-style armor appeared on the table in the Pavilion.

"These are the fruits of my latest research: Spiritual Power Armor."

"If you encounter an emergency battle in the future, put this on. As long as your opponent isn't a Golden Core Cultivator, you can take them head-on without a problem." Xu Fan idly admired his proud creation.

The inspiration had come from a movie in his previous life: a mere Mortal could rival the gods.

"Is the Spiritual Power Armor a defensive magic artifact?" Wang Yulun asked curiously as he stared at the Spiritual Power Armor on the table. From the instant it had appeared, his gaze had been firmly drawn to it, as though an unknown charm were calling to him.

"It has defensive properties. This set of Spiritual Power Armor consists of sixteen independent magic artifacts. Inside is a Spirit Stone conversion system that can amplify your spiritual power."

"If the spiritual power you release is one, then through this set of Spiritual Power Armor, you can release two to three."

"Its physical defense and Mental defense are among the very best for magic artifacts. At critical moments in a Life-and-Death Battle, it can also unfold its second state."

"There are also a few more..."

As Xu Fan explained, Wang Yulun and Murong Qian'er grew more and more shocked. Wearing this set of Spiritual Power Armor, killing a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast in a single strike would be no problem.

"Brother Xu, let's stop talking. Can I try it?" Wang Yulun asked greedily.

"Then try it." Xu Fan smiled. This was only a Type One prototype, and he had long had a plan for it. Only after Soul Iron became plentiful did Xu Fan refine it.

The hardest part of this Spiritual Power Armor was linking its independent magic artifact components together. At present, only Soul Iron could serve that purpose.

Once Wang Yulun put on the Spiritual Power Armor, it was as though he had opened the door to a new world. What did it feel like for his spiritual power to increase threefold in an instant?

After the Thousand Blade Flying Sword was unleashed, it instantly darted through the sky at speeds surpassing the speed of sound.

The moves Wang Yulun had previously dared not use casually had now become basic skills.

A massive flying sword made up of 360 fragments performed such high-difficulty techniques in the air, drawing the attention of even the siblings, who had been seriously practicing their spells nearby.
