Chapter 448: Await with Bated Breath
“Got it, Boss Wei!”
Yashan immediately perked up. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time, countless days and nights, hoping to showcase his intelligence and talent in front of Boss Wei.
Over the past three years, in the “Spiritual Power Properties” project, he dared not slack off. He knew that receiving his first official research task from Boss Wei, he absolutely could not afford to fail!
Back in the Summoner’s World, Yashan had also joined the Custodian Institute and participated in the development of the “Pokè Ball.” However, that was merely participation; he was just a small part of the massive research team, with a greater focus on learning. For Yashan, that couldn’t be considered helping Boss Wei with his research!
This, however, was truly meaningful!
“I want to help Boss Wei achieve all his goals. Perhaps, that’s the purpose of my existence.”
More importantly, Yashan unexpectedly felt the joy of being focused on one thing during his research!
He used to think that playing games was enjoyable, but now he realized that the joy of research far surpassed that of gaming.
He had asked Boss Wei about the nature of this happiness, and Boss Wei had replied, “It comes from ‘self-mastery’ in research.”
The feeling of freedom in “self-mastery,” only those who experienced it would understand!
Yashan began to explain enthusiastically about his software, “This software is called the ‘Spiritual Power Property Transformation Factory.’ It’s based on the inspiration I got from Boss Wei’s Universal Assistant and is a simple application of the research results. It has three functions: ‘Spell Implantation,’ ‘Spiritual Power Transmutation,’ and ‘Combination Tool.’
Currently, I’ve expressed each stage of spiritual power transformation using three formulas, each controlled by three variables: ‘Initial Spiritual Power Variable,’ ‘Mental Frequency Variable,’ and ‘Structural Rate Variable.’ I found that the transformation of spiritual power is only related to these three factors, while factors like ‘environment,’ ‘spiritual wave,’ ‘constitution,’ and ‘talent’ have all been excluded.
In other words, as long as you can obtain data for these three variables, you can design corresponding transformation directions based on the formulas. You can transform towards the direction of ‘Spell’ semi-transformation, towards the direction of ‘high energy’ advancement, or even achieve spiritual power degradation.
As a result, firstly, you can directly transplant spells, known as ‘Spell Implantation.’
The ‘Spell Implantation’ function consists of three steps: ‘Spiritual Power Collection,’ ‘Spell Implantation Analysis,’ and ‘Spell Implantation Plan.’ Of course, this function only provides specific steps and plans, but actually implanting the spells requires hands-on work.
Secondly, it allows Qi Induction Realm cultivators to possess the spiritual power quality of Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Core Realm cultivators, known as ‘Spiritual Power Transmutation.’
Of course, the prerequisite is that the mind can control it. However, I have an idea, which is to use the ‘Spiritual Power Transmutation’ function to refine spiritual stones, turning the low-energy spiritual power in the stones into high-energy spiritual power. This would have a wide range of applications.
I’ve integrated these two functions into the ‘Spiritual Power Property Transformation Factory’ software.”
“I’ve also designed a third function called the ‘Combination Tool,’ which is used to combine the spells imagined…”
Once Yashan started talking, he found it hard to stop.
And in Yashan’s explanation, Su Hao quickly grasped how to use this software and found these three functions to be very useful.
Su Hao said, “Yashan, you’re a pragmatist! You don’t mess around with fancy stuff.”
Yashan awkwardly replied, “Boss Wei, actually, I wanted to add some fancy stuff, but my abilities didn’t allow it. I was thinking of gradually modifying it later and adding various small features!”
Su Hao then asked, “Have you tried the functions yet?”
Yashan demonstrated several spells he had practiced: “The ‘Wind Bullet’ was something I cultivated myself to collect data, but the ‘Wind Spirit Shield’ and ‘Windborne Lightness Technique’ were achieved through the ‘Spell Implantation’ function, and they all succeeded. Not only that!”
As he spoke, Yashan performed a spell, and a strong wind enveloped him. He suddenly floated up and flew around the laboratory before landing, saying, “I also used the ‘Spell Implantation’ function to successfully implant the Foundation Establishment Realm spell ‘Qi-Form Wind Escape Technique’ into my spiritual power. Now I can freely use this spell! What’s more, this experiment was successful on Feng Cheng and the other two as well!”
Yashan then slapped his forehead and said, “Oops, I forgot about the fourth function. I’ll go back and immediately develop the fourth function, ‘Implantation Cases.’”
Su Hao nodded and said, “Alright! But now, show me how to implant the ‘Qi-Form Wind Escape Technique’ into my spiritual power. Let me experience the process of spell implantation.”
Yashan immediately pounded his chest and said loudly, “Yes, Boss Wei, just wait a moment.”
After speaking, Yashan transformed into the [Earth Lord]. Crystalline armor surged under his feet, forming a huge rune array, and then he pointed to a small rune array at the center of the array and said, “Boss Wei, please input a strand of spiritual power into this rune array to collect data.”
Su Hao took a look and immediately understood that Yashan’s rune array design had used the structure he had originally used to cultivate the ‘Spiritual Sense.’
Su Hao walked over and slowly input a strand of spiritual power.
…
Just as Su Hao and Yashan were trying to implant the spell…
In thr Yunzhong Valley, six combined cultivation experts, the ‘Masters of the Six Lineages,’ rarely gathered together.
The head of the Yunzhong Valley was held by Yun Xiao, the master of the Cloud Lineage.
Yun Xiao, a middle-aged woman with a fair complexion, sat in the highest peak of the Yunzhong Pavilion, casting a glance at the other five vein masters with a calm expression, saying, “It seems that this time, our Yunzhong Valley is facing another major disaster. We should have made preparations early.”
The master of the in Lineage of the Moon, Yue You, was a middle-aged man with long beards. His eyes were bright, and he always had a smile on his face as he said, “Whatever you decide, Sister, we naturally have no objections.”
The master of the Wind Lineage, Feng Ye Shuang, was a young woman in blue. Her face looked remarkably young and beautiful, as if she were in her thirties. She sat silently with a serene expression.
The leader of the Rain Lineage, Yu Fei Xian, was a youthful woman who chuckled, her hand delicately covering her mouth, causing the adornments on her head to sway gently. Her eyes gleamed with amusement as she remarked, “I find it quite intriguing how they concluded that our Yunzhong Valley has any connection to the alleged ‘Crystal Thief.’ They’ve even banded together, proclaiming they seek justice from us. What justice? It’s absurd.”
The master of the Dust lineage is Chen Gu, a man emitting an aura of solitude, who remained silent with closed eyes.
The master of the Mist Lineage, Wu Yao, is a woman with an oval face and delicate makeup. She lightly opened her vermilion lips and said, “Indeed ridiculous! They want to disgrace the Yunzhong Valley!”
Yu Fei Xian’s gaze shifted to Feng Ye Shuang, the master of the Wind Vein, and teased, “Sister Feng, don’t you have anything to say? After all, that so-called ‘Crystal Thief’ seems to be related to your Wind Lineage!”
Feng Ye Shuang remained extremely calm, not even glancing at Yu Fei Xian, and simply said, “No comment!”
Yu Fei Xian’s expression turned cold as she looked towards Yun Xiao at the head.
At this moment, Wu Yao interjected, “I’ve investigated already. That disciple’s name is Feng Wei, who joined six years ago and has already reached the Foundation Establishment Realm! He can be considered a peerless genius! But what does that have to do with the ‘Crystal Thief’? Just because the artifact in his hand emits a similar green light? It’s ridiculous!
Every disciple of the Wind Lineage emits a green light in their spiritual power. Hmph! They just want to find an excuse to target our sect! A bunch of shameless scoundrels.”
Yun Xiao said, “It’s said that the ‘Crystal Thief’ comes and goes as they please, and all major sects are powerless! Even the Elemental Constellation Sanhe Peaks suffered great losses, and the Peak Master Ling Xuan was helpless. We don’t have such ability ourselves, so naturally, we have nothing to do with our Yunzhong Valley. However, now that things have come to this, discussing these matters is meaningless. What’s important now is to decide whether to stay or leave!”
Yue You stroked his beard and smiled, saying, “Sister, what’s your plan?”
Yun Xiao looked around and slowly said, “Naturally, I will stay! The Yunzhong Valley is our foundation. We cannot easily hand it over to others!”
The others nodded in agreement, expressing their intention to stay and repel the robbers who dared to target the Yunzhong Valley with the Sect Master.
Finally, Yun Xiao nodded and said, “We only need to rely on formations to deal with them. If we find ourselves unable to defeat them, we’ll each retreat separately and regroup at the Qingyu Province.”
After the other five had all left, Yun Xiao, still seated at the main seat, slowly raised his head. There was a faint gleam in his eyes, and it was unclear what he was thinking.
After a long while, a mysterious smile appeared on his fair face, but his eyes were icy cold. His lips moved, as if saying, “Is this the technique of the Yunzhong Valley? This is a rare opportunity in a thousand years. Let me wait and see.”
