Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 46 Cultivation Technique Advancement! Realm Advancement!

It was evening.

The last rays of the setting sun shone through the clouds.

Zhu Que returned the Hidden Heaven Black Jade to Elder Gongyang and went back to the cultivation center, where he began to imitate the Hidden Heaven Black Jade.

First, they copied 11 second-tier jade artifacts and 1 first-tier gold artifact, and then they began to copy the Dark Jade.

The whole process went very smoothly.

[Successfully replicated!]

[Black Jade of the Sky: Mid-grade, Tier 3, exquisite jade artifact. After use, it allows one to freely conceal their cultivation level and other special information.]

[Side effects: Can only be used once, lasts for 12 hours.]

"Can only be used once..."

Zhu Que took out the "Black Jade of the Sky".

This is not a big problem, because the testing and evaluation only takes a few minutes, and twelve hours is more than enough time.

The next step is to test whether this magical artifact can truly conceal the identity of a "born demon."

"First, we need to replicate a new type of testing instrument..."

Zhu Que got up and walked to the window, looking at the gray-white building next to him—

Testing and evaluation center.

Although the new instrument was located in the lobby on the first floor, it was usually guarded by staff, so he couldn't just barge in and touch it for analysis.

"I wonder if the inspection and evaluation center is hiring cleaners..."

Thinking of this, Zhu Que immediately went to the main entrance of the evaluation center and carefully looked at the notice board.

Promotional posters, safety notices, equipment maintenance announcements...

There were no job postings.

"If you don't want to hire a cleaner, then create a cleaning job for him..."

Zhu Que pondered for a moment and then contacted Xiao Cai.

The two met at a teahouse near the training center.

"You want to join the evaluation center?" Xiao Cai asked, somewhat surprised.

"I have to do something very secretive," Zhu Que said without going into details.

"Fine, what do you want me to do?"

Xiao Cai was very perceptive. Seeing that Zhu Que was unwilling to say more, she didn't ask any further questions, but simply inquired about what Zhu Que wanted her to do.

"You're doing this..."

After discussing it with her for a while, Zhu Que quickly finalized the plan.

the next day.

Xiao Cai then found Han Feng, the personnel manager of the evaluation center.

Without saying a word, he first stuffed an extremely thick envelope into his hand, and then explained his purpose.

"I have a younger brother who went missing years ago and was only recently found. He's a very stubborn kid; he insists on being self-reliant and refuses our assistance."

Xiao Cai's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

"So, I want to arrange a relaxed position for him in the inspection and evaluation center, just to let him 'go to work'. We'll pay his salary, and he won't be on the center's payroll; I just want him to feel like he's supporting himself."

"This kind of thing..." Han Feng looked troubled.

"I know I'm putting you in a difficult position."

Xiao Cai took out three envelopes and placed them on the coffee table.

"This is compensation for the trouble I've caused you. Don't worry, my brother is honest and law-abiding; he would never cause any trouble."

"Your brother... what's he like?" Han Feng opened the envelope, glanced at it, and immediately changed his answer.

"He has some physical deformities and is now classified as a fifth-class citizen. Here is his information. Please take a look. You can assign him any job, such as a cleaner or a doorman."

Xiao Cai handed over a document.

The above is the fabricated basic information about Zhu Que that she created. Everything shows that he is just an ordinary mutant fifth-class person, posing no threat whatsoever.

Han Feng glanced at the documents and casually said:

"Let's put him on the night shift, cleaning and security, but if anything goes wrong..."

"You will absolutely not be implicated."

Xiao Cai immediately assured her.

……

It was late at night.

Wearing a blue uniform and a name tag that reads "Logistics Department of the Inspection and Evaluation Center," Zhu Que officially became a night shift cleaner at the Inspection and Evaluation Center.

Inside the hall.

The new testing instrument stood there quietly, in its off state.

After confirming that no one was around, Zhu Que began analyzing the testing equipment.

Fortunately, although it was a third-tier spiritual artifact, the analysis speed was surprisingly fast, and it was 100% analyzed in less than three nights.

On the fourth day, Xiao Cai visited again and processed Zhu Que's resignation on the grounds that his deformity had worsened and he was feeling unwell.

Han Feng, having received a sum of money for free and free from any worries, naturally agreed without hesitation.

That night.

Zhu Que brought a pile of broken artifacts to the abandoned chemical plant and successively replicated the testing instruments and the Mantian Black Jade.

He first activated the Black Jade Curtain and chose the black mist on the right.

next moment.

A strange power seeped into his limbs and bones, as if an invisible veil had been draped over his body.

He then activated the detection equipment, watched the light screen descend, took a deep breath, and tentatively stepped inside—

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

The testing equipment remained calm and normal, without any piercing alarm sounds, as if the person being tested was just an ordinary person.

"It's done!"

Zhu Que was overjoyed.

This magical artifact can indeed conceal the identity of someone born with a demonic seed, further confirming Song Wugui's true identity.

"That way, I won't have to worry about dealing with the police, and I can still participate in that special college entrance exam."

"I hope I can get that fourth-level promotion qualification this year..."

Zhu Que disassembled the testing equipment and threw it all into the Linhe River under the cover of night.

Back at the training center.

Zhu Que continued his daily routine of working during the day and cultivating at night, and this continued for three days.

After repeatedly instilling the "Ice and Fire as One" technique.

That moment has finally arrived—

"Buzz!"

As the spiritual artifact was activated, countless runes, incantations, and hand seals poured down, making Zhu Que feel as if he were immersed in a waterfall.

This indoctrination was different from the previous ones; he vaguely sensed that it had reached a certain critical point.

In a daze.

He saw a radiant ray of dawn emerging from the waterfall, and instinctively reached out to touch it—

"boom!"

A pulling force swept over him, instantly drawing his consciousness toward the dawn.

The instant the two touched, his illusory consciousness seemed to dissipate and then reassemble, merging with the dawn.

I don't know how much time has passed.

When Zhu Que opened his eyes again, the indoctrination had automatically ended.

"This is... a breakthrough?!"

Zhu Que removed the spiritual weapon, and it was clear that the Ice and Fire Unity Technique had entered a new realm.

He progressed from the first level of "getting a glimpse of the basics" to the second level of "achieving some initial success".

"call!"

With a thought, Zhu Que conjured a ball of icy flame in his palm.

Compared to before, this ball of ice flame was purer and more solid, and the chill it emitted was even more biting.

Zhu Que raised his hand and waved at the ceramic cup not far away.

"call out--"

The ice flames shot out, several times faster than before.

The instant the cup touches the glass—

"Snap!"

The ceramic cup was frozen instantly, without the process of frost forming.

next moment--

"Bang!"

A sudden burst of intense heat shattered the ice-sculpted ceramic cup into dust, leaving not a single fragment behind.

"This power... is at least three or four times stronger than before."

Zhu Que was somewhat surprised and pondered:

"Now, even without using spiritual artifacts, I have basic self-defense capabilities. With the addition of various spiritual artifacts... I can at least put up a fight against any cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, if not guarantee victory."

Then.

Zhu Que continued to devote himself to breathing exercises.

Late on the fifth night, he also achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation level.

Since breaking through to the second level of Qi Refining, with the support of various second-tier cultivation artifacts, Xuan-level artificial spiritual roots, injected medicines, and the Cold Wheel Breath Guiding Technique, his cultivation level has been rapidly improving every day.

That night, his cultivation reached a critical point.

"Buzz—"

A slight tremor came from the dantian, and the vibration spread like ripples, extending along the meridians to the limbs and bones.

Zhu Que immediately sensed something was wrong, and immediately focused his mind and fully activated the advanced breathing technique "Cold Wheel Breathing Technique".

I don't know how much time passed—

"Snap!"

In a daze, Zhu Que seemed to hear the sound of some invisible shackles breaking.

next moment.

He suddenly felt a sense of relief throughout his body.

The dantian expands outward like an inflated balloon, instantly strengthening and widening the eight extraordinary meridians, and making every muscle and bone in the limbs more resilient.

"call!"

Zhu Que opened his eyes and looked down at his hands.

"I've reached the third level of Qi Refining... With the support of various cultivation artifacts, my cultivation speed is like a rocket."

Although he advanced to the third level of Qi Refining in less than three months, Zhu Que did not find it strange.

After all, his current cultivation resources are equivalent to those of a child from a wealthy, third-class family.

Even Tang Ke's cultivation resources are far inferior to his.

After a short period of rest, Zhu Que replicated a portable testing device to assess his own condition.
