Not High-Grade?
When the subway came to a complete stop, and Yi Xuan, piloting the Black Tortoise battle armor, stepped back onto the steel floor of No. 1 Base, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It cannot be said that Yi Xuan was overly cautious.
After all, the laser emitter that Yi Xuan had previously developed was still stationed in No. 1 Base. Once he had High-Grade Spirit Stone, it would be equivalent to Yi Xuan having the qualifications to compete with Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Therefore, it is not excessive for Yi Xuan to be cautious in handling the Spirit Stone in his possession.
After entering No. 1 Base, Yi Xuan did not come out of the Black Tortoise, but went straight to the warehouse of No. 1 Base.
As the warehouse doors opened, Yi Xuan piloted the Black Tortoise into it.
The warehouse was almost as large as the main hall of No. 1 Base, but Yi Xuan did not linger at the warehouse entrance.
Instead, he walked directly to the deepest part, eventually arriving at the very back of the warehouse, where a tall iron gate blocked Yi Xuan's path.
Now Yi Xuan had no choice but to get out of the Black Tortoise.
The surveillance equipment at the top of the door has detected Yi Xuan's arrival.
"Imperial Jade Liquor!"
A voice came from above the gate.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Xuan answered, "One hundred and eighty per cup!"
"Ding! Verification successful! Boss, welcome!"
This voice recognition system is not complicated; in fact, it was commonplace in its previous life. What truly provides protection is the content of the voice recognition itself.
Yi Xuan believed that no one in the world except himself could answer this question.
After the door in front of them opened, it didn't reveal the space behind it. Instead, another large door appeared, leaving less than two meters of space between the two doors.
This second door was designed by Yi Xuan based on the bank vault of his previous life, and it was locked using purely physical means.
Yi Xuan adjusted the password on the dial on the gate one by one, then took out two keys from his Storage Bag, inserted them into the two keyholes on the gate, and then turned them with both hands at the same time.
With a 'click', the door in front of Yi Xuan opened, revealing a space the size of an ordinary room. The room contained very few items, including two soul orbs filled with blank souls.
These were the last two soul orbs in Yi Xuan's possession. The reason they weren't used wasn't because Yi Xuan didn't need them, but because he was afraid that if he used them, there wouldn't be any new ones to replenish them, so he was reluctant to use them.
It can only be taken out and used when absolutely necessary.
The items in this room are all similar to soul orbs, and are materials that are very precious to Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan took out a small box from his Storage Bag and solemnly placed it next to the Soul Orb.
Then he turned and left, locking the small room again.
Back in the main control room of No. 1 Base, Yi Xuan immediately retrieved the data from the previous Spiritual Qi detector.
No. 01 projected a 3D model of the Spiritual Qi detector in front of Yi Xuan using holographic projection.
Yi Xuan's fingers flew through the air, and in no time at all, he completely disassembled the model of the Spiritual Qi detector.
With a wave of his hand, he pushed aside the disassembled parts that were placed to the side.
Meanwhile, No. 01 thoughtfully created a trash can, and the parts that Yi Xuan pushed aside all fell into the trash can.
Yi Xuan looked at the remaining modules, and thoughts began to flow through his mind.
"Here!" Yi Xuan pointed to one of the modules and said, "Increase the output power! Increase it a hundredfold!"
"Okay, boss, but just a friendly reminder, after this improvement, the size of the Spiritual Qi detector might increase significantly! A conservative estimate would be three or four times its current size!"
After listening to No. 01's opinion, Yi Xuan shook his head nonchalantly and said, "Only three or four times the size? That's not a problem at all. What I'm worried about now is something else!"
"What is it?" No. 01 asked curiously.
"With such a significant increase in power, the original cooling system simply can't meet the equipment's needs! It seems we need to improve the cooling system!" Yi Xuan explained.
Yi Xuan then dragged the cooling system from the projector to his front and proceeded to optimize it with dazzling speed and precision.
Time flew by as Yi Xuan was engaged in research and development.
Half a day later, Yi Xuan looked at the Spiritual Qi detector he had developed on the projector and nodded in satisfaction.
According to simulation by No. 01, the maximum detection capacity of this Spiritual Qi detector is 100,000 times that of Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, and it can even detect High-Grade Spirit Stone without any problem.
The only drawback is that the current Spiritual Qi detector is quite large, about the size of a washing machine, and weighs nearly 200 pounds.
Although 200 pounds was not a big deal for Yi Xuan, he did not move the equipment himself. Instead, Yi Xuan asked No. 01 to add four load-bearing casters to the Spiritual Qi detector.
In this way, Yi Xuan pushed the Spiritual Qi energy detector with one hand to the depths of the warehouse.
Using the same unlocking steps, Yi Xuan quickly retrieved two Spirit Stones from the small room.
One of them was one of the eight that had been discovered earlier, and it was surrounded by a Spirit Stone. The other one was one that Yi Xuan took out from the other fifteen slightly different Spirit Stone.
Although he could tell from his intuition that these Spirit Stones were inferior to High-Grade Spirit Stone, their Spiritual Qi content was still far greater than that of ordinary Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, so Yi Xuan was still very curious about their Spiritual Qi content.
Yi Xuan did not immediately test the High-Grade Spirit Stone, but instead placed another Spirit Stone on the instrument.
As the instrument was activated, a value instantly appeared on the holographic projection screen at the top of the instrument.
"What?"
Yi Xuan was both surprised and puzzled when he saw the string of numbers.
The data displayed on this Spiritual Qi detector was actually ten thousand times that of Mid-Grade Spirit Stone. In other words, those Spirit Stones that Yi Xuan felt had slightly less Spiritual Qi were actually High-Grade Spirit Stone.
But what about those eight Spirit Stones that were emitting a halo?
Yi Xuan placed the Spirit Stone, which was glowing, on it.
This time, the device did not display any specific values; instead, it kept drawing circles on the screen.
After waiting for half an hour, the circle on the screen finally disappeared. Yi Xuan, full of excitement, was about to go over and take a look when the Spiritual Qi detector exploded with a 'boom,' scattering debris everywhere.
"What... what's going on?"
Yi Xuan to himself in disbelief, "You know, when I designed the Spiritual Qi detector, I was worried that its measurement limit was not high enough, so I increased the upper limit of the Spiritual Qi detector by ten times. That is to say, the device can measure ten High-Grade Spirit Stones at the same time."
It's quite simple; the Spirit Stone radiating light in Yi Xuan's hand right now is far more than just High-Grade Spirit Stone.
Yi Xuan had no choice but to put the two Spirit Stone into his Storage Bag, then locked the door again and ran off towards the back mountain of the sect.
